Proving once again that the ocean is a vast expanse of mysterious and spine-chilling beasts, a Vine video of a giant squid pummeling a Green Peace submarine with its monstrous tentacles has emerged. In the video below, you can see the squid, squirting a cloud of black ink at the video, as the crew attempts to scare it away with a bright light. The incident occurred in the Bering Sea (the body of water that separates Russia from Alaska). Both the squid and the crew got away unharmed, but we probably won’t be going for a leisurely dip off the coast of Alaska any time soon.

When one thinks of “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” a myriad of memories come to mind: the uncannily catchy theme song, the “Carlton” (and it’s many incarnations); and, of course, more celebrity cameos and guest stars than there are cool hats in Hilary’s wardrobe. So many athletes, recording artists, and full-out legends graced the grounds at Banks mansion, that it’s almost impossible to keep track of them all…until now. In honor of MTV’s #Throwblock, which now airs episodes of “Fresh Prince” from noon to 2 p.m. every weekday, we’ve compiled the internet’s only truly complete list of every single guest star to share a screen with Sir Will and his wealthy, wacky family.

Al B. Sure

Role: Himself
Episode: Season 1, Episode 5 “Homeboy, Sweet Homeboy”
Al B. Sure stars alongside music mogul Quincy Jones and proves that famous friends look just as good on Will as that monochrome jumpsuit.

Arthel Neville

Role: Herself
Episodes: S05 E25 “For Whom the Wedding Bells Toll” and S06 E21 “I, Stank Hole in One”
Will and Lisa’s wedding may explode in this episode, but at least real-life popular newscaster Arthel Neville and the Banks sisters look good in their bridesmaid dresses. Arthel returned as herself the following season.

B.B. King

When Carlton gets the Ivy League blues, he’s able to find solace in wise words ...

You meant to go yesterday, but your friend invited you to happy hour. You would go today, but you’re just so tired. The gym: If only intending to go burned calories…

However, working out doesn’t have to be a perpetual item on your “I’ll get to it tomorrow” list. In fact, making just a few of these quick adjustments may majorly decrease your resistance to jumping on that exercise bike.

1. Put the days and times you’ll work out in your calendar

It’s one thing to say, “I should work out this week,” and another to know that you’re going to kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. Having workouts in your calendar — whether using your phone or a physical one pinned to your wall — will make exercise seem like more of a solidified plan, and will ensure that you have time to go, even when you’re bogged down with work. Or a full DVR.

2. Make a new playlist once a week

It’s hard to get excited about working out when you know you’ll be subjecting yourself to the same busted “Gym Mix” you’ve had longer than that weird salad dressing in your fridge door. Once a week, put together a new playlist or two, and include a few songs that are fairly new to you.

3. Buy some new gear

Just as a new dress can turn jury duty into an outfit unveiling, having new gym clothes can get you enthusiastic about showcasing ...

There are years you live through, and years you survive. For Britney Spears, 2007 was the latter.

After her marriage to backup dancer and soul patch enthusiast Kevin Federline fizzled, the Goddess of Fierceness and Frappuccinos spiraled into a meltdown — while being followed constantly by a maniacal mob of paparazzi who filled her every waking hour with microphones and flashbulbs, attempting to get to the root of what could possibly be bothering her so much.

A head was shaved. An ambulance was called. Then, on October 26, 2007, in what seemed like the middle of her darkest hour, Spears told all of her naysayers to sit the f–k down with three unambiguous words…

“It’s Britney, bitch.”

The phrase immediately became synonymous with Spears herself. In her 2012 collaboration “Scream and Shout” with Will.i.am, she even sampled her own lyric, almost as though “bitch” is her last name: “It’s Will.i.am and Britney Bitch.”

Her fans at shows wear shirts emblazoned with this iconic proclamation, and almost all of her live performances — including her current residency in Vegas — feature liberal use of the B-word. One would be hard pressed to look at any of her devotees screaming, “It’s Britney, bitch!” — or at Spears herself — and assert that the B-word was being used in a derogatory way.

Spears commented on her use of the word in a 2013 interview with British TV host Alan Carr: “I just use it as…a term of endearment.” She added, ...

In perhaps the most adorable pro sports transaction of all time, five-year-old JP Gibson has signed a one-day scrimmage contract with the Utah Jazz. As per the terms of his contract, the kindergarten student and power forward suited up and hit the bench with his fellow teammates Monday night for their official open scrimmage at the Jazz’s EnergySolutions Arena.

JP was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia two years ago, and his contract was put together by way of the Utah Jazz and the “Anything Can Be” project, which helps kids with cancer realize their dreams. JP has been training for this, his rookie debut, for most of his life. His publicist (mom) told the NBA, “He started insisting on shooting hoops for an hour each night before bedtime when he was just 15 months old.”

Check out this formidable half pint dunking like a pro here:

We’d like to think he threw back a nice cold juice box at the end of this nail biter of a match.

You would think years of dating, hanging out and working with boys would give you a solid idea of what they’re about. You would think that, until you move in with one. If you’re considering shacking up with your man, be prepared to make these discoveries about how the other half lives.

1. They know how to wire 17 devices through one surge protector…

2. But have no idea how to put down the toilet seat.

3. They can proficiently operate an elaborate system of multiple remotes and cable boxes…

4. But feel overwhelmed by using more than one shower product for all of their bathing needs.

5. They can easily be slipped vegan food if you focus on the fact that it is a “home cooked meal.”

6. They like football.

7. Like, a lot.

8. But are totally not into reading laundry labels.

9. They collect tools in the same way that we collect nail polish…

10. And the poor things think doing chores is as fun as having your nails did.

11. Finally, the three farts a day when you each had your own place? That was him holding back.

After some nights, you’ll need photographic evidence to fill in the memory gaps that have been flooded with tequila. When it comes to Instagramming your booze-soaked exploits, however, it may not be necessary to explain that you are, in fact, #drunk (or #drunkies or having a #drunknight).

Farts can be amusing, stinky, and fun — but you MUST prevent a shart before it starts. That’s why we consulted with Dr. Rene Backer, an osteopath who gave us some valuable tips on how to keep it clean while passing gas. (If this is a problem for you, be sure to visit your own doctor for individual advice.)

1. Don’t expel farts with maximum thrust
A shart is essentially flatulence gone wrong. It occurs when the anal sphincter is relaxed during the act of passing flatus. If the flatus is gaseous, it will slowly be expelled passively (i.e. without a “surprise”). Because of this, one of the best safeguards against sharting is avoiding “bearing down” or forceful expulsion.

2. Go on a low-fart diet
Normally, the body breaks down food into energy and waste. When foods are difficult to break down, however, they remain in the colon for extended periods of time. Bacteria ferment these undigested food particles, and the byproduct of their metabolism is gas. This gas accumulates in the rectum until it is expelled in the form of flatus. (Hence the infamous punchline, “Rectum? Damn near killed ‘em!”)

To minimize the amount of gas formed in the colon, avoid foods like artificial sweeteners (gum, soda) and apricots, beans, onions, green peppers, corn, artichoke, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, peas, asparagus and carrots.

3. Eat plenty of fiber
If you have a history of sharting, it’s a good idea to increase your daily fiber intake. Barring an unexpected bout of diarrhea, maintaining a diet which ...

Sure, the VMAs have rich tradition of being a night when celebrities dress to impress (or at least shock). But some of the evening’s most memorable outfits have, however, hardly been outfits at all. Here are few examples of when VMA stars gifted us all by arriving in their birthday suits — or close to it.

1. Madonna, 1984
