Grandmas On Facebook Are Accidentally Tagging Themselves As Grandmaster Flash

by 30 mins ago

We’re gonna go out on a limb here and guess this is not your grandmother…

tumblr_mtyyiwInNZ1qedb29o1_500

And yet, aside from all-caps comments and interrogations about “that person in your picture” and if/when you’re marrying them, grandparents have found a new way to embarrass themselves on Facebook. Thanks to the auto-suggestion tool, grandmas all over the world are mistakenly tagging themselves as the one, the only Grandmaster Flash. As soon as granny starts typing “grandm,” Facebook types in the rest.

It’s become so common that there’s an entire Tumblr dedicated to it, filled with hilarious examples like these:

gflash-1-a

gflash-2-a

gflash-6-a

You can say that again! Consider this a public service announcement: Tell your grandmas that, although it’s admirable that they want to flaunt their “hipness” by being on the ‘Book, they should check twice before signing their name. Or don’t tell them, if you just want to keep the hilarity going. No judgment here.

And yes, Grandmaster Flash himself has seen the hilarious trend — and acknowledged it in the best way possible:

Miley Cyrus Adds Eggs-ellent New Costumes (And Hair!) To Bangerz Tour

by 5 mins ago

After a whirlwind New York Fashion Week where she debuted her “Dirty Hippie” art collection, Miley Cyrus is back on her Bangerz Tour. She kicked off the South American leg in Puerto Rico last night and, with it, brought a bunch of new costumes and wigs.

Miley has introduced new pieces to her tour wardrobe every time she begins a new leg, but this is the first time she’s changed up her hair—combined with the sparkly new leotards, she’s doing #WERK.

Last night, Miley shared a bunch of backstage photos, including one where she’s “deciding on hair for #bangerztour.” Last week, Miley shared a photo of a similar wig and said it was her backup plan if she was “having the worst hair day ever on tour.”

Regardless of how her hair looked underneath, Miley obviously liked the platinum ~lewk~, because she posted another photo where she’s wearing it on stage with a new, iridescent bodysuit.

For another costume, Miley had time to snap a “quick change selfie,” where she’s ditched the wig, but incorporated some colorful, raver-y ribbons into her pixie cut. Attention any pop stars planning tours: raver-inspired looks are required in 2014 (see: Katy Perry, Lady Gaga).

In another selfie backstage, Miley is wearing something she describes as “egg bob mackieish cyber hippie mylar freak.” One way to spend ...

What Drew Lena Dunham To Jack Antonoff? ‘He’s Obsessed With Dying, Too’

by 6 mins ago

Are you obsessed with dying? Do you currently live at your parents house? Then you might just have a chance with Lena Dunham — or, at least you would have (maybe? possibly? still probably not, like, at all?) had a chance with her were she not already dating Jack Antonoff.

As the release of her first book, a collection of personal essays titled “Not That Kind Of Girl,” looms nearer, the creator and star of “Girls” is on the cover of The New York Times Magazine‘s Culture Issue discussing life, love and her terrier-poodle mix, Lamby.

In one particularly interesting anecdote about her boyfriend of Bleachers and fun. fame, Dunham reveals that there were many similarities that drew them to one another, including a shared set of neuroses: “When I met Jack, I said to my mom, ‘I met this guy, and he’s obsessed with dying, too, and he lives in his parents’ house!’”

Hardcore Robert Pattinson Fan Marries His Cardboard Cutout In Vegas

by 21 mins ago

This just in: Robert Pattinson is married! Or at least…his cardboard cutout is.

Lauren Adkins, a 25-year-old Las Vegas native, has wed a six-foot Pattinson cardboard cutout. OK, maybe the union isn’t technically legally recognized, but she had a dress and a ceremony and everything.

Adkins originally bought the stand-in boyfriend for $20 at a record shop after becoming obsessed with Pattinson’s “Twilight” character, Edward Cullen. She took it out with her and doted on it so much that one of her friends finally suggested she go ahead and get hitched to it.

So that’s exactly what she did.

Adkins bought a ring and wore a white dress for her ceremony at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel on the Vegas strip. She and her 50 guests even partied with champagne and a five-tier cake at her reception, which cost her a cool $3,200.

“People might think I’m crazy but my flat-pack R-Patz is the closest I’ll get to the real thing and he’s the one for me,” she told the Mirror.

Then the newlyweds honeymooned in Los Angeles, where they hiked to the Hollywood sign…but they had to do it at night because Cullen can’t be in the sun. Remember, guys, he’s a vampire.

Before you brand Adkins a straight-up crazy person, there’s one thing you should know: The extravagant wedding is actually part of her thesis project at UNLV. She started planning the project two years ago, and raised over $1,200 ...

An Iggy Azalea Sex Tape May Have Been Filmed When She Was Underage

by 12 mins ago

Less than 24 hours after denying the existence of a sex tape with a former boyfriend, lawyers for Iggy Azalea have done a 180 and confirmed that there may, indeed, be an explicit recording out there.

TMZ reported on Friday that Iggy’s lawyers are saying that the tape might exist, but that it’s possible Iggy was under 18 when it was recorded. Azalea’s reps reportedly told TMZ that the sex tape could be an attempt by a “spurned business suitor” (in other words, the unnamed ex-boyfriend) who is just trying to “damage her image and career out of revenge.”

It is also possible that the footage was recorded without “her knowledge or consent,” the attorneys said.

Azalea’s former business partner was reportedly trying to shop the tape to Vivid adult entertainment boss Steven Hirsch, who told Hollywoodlife.com he was interested in pursuing the matter.

On Thursday afternoon, Azalea took to Twitter to deny the existence of the tape, with one of the tweets suggesting that she may not be 18 in any recording that might exist.

The denial came after TMZ reported that Hirsch had offered millions to the “Black Widow” rapper for an alleged tape featuring her and the ex-boyfriend.

Deadmau5 Became An Uber Driver, Left The Ears At Home

by 30 mins ago

Deadmau5 took some time out from his legal battle with Disney Thursday night to drive strangers around in his super fancy McLaren 650S. Yup, Joel Thomas Zimmerman is now an UberX driver, and his vehicle of choice kind of looks like the car in “Back To The Future” — you know, without the flames and traveling-through-time.

FB6018F18

The Huffington Post reports that news of the music producer’s new job started emerging on Twitter last night, as Zimmerman motored through Toronto, picking up folks who promptly shared the news to their various and sundry social channels.

I mean, can you blame them? Imagine calling an Uber to get home from some terrible date with a stand-up comedian wearing eyeliner who talked about his mother for 30 minutes straight (not that this happened to anyone I know…), and effing Deadmau5 rolls up the curb! Night saved! Instant party! Someone find the bass and then promptly drop it.

I mean, just look at this fancy, fancy thing… I’d be saying “What?!” too.

UberX — Uber’s lower-cost service — just launched in Canada this week, so it looks like Deadmau5 worked fast when it came to getting into the taxiing biz.

Oh! And lest you worry, from the looks of it, Zimmerman did NOT don his iconic mouse head while driving — you know, blind spots and all. Safety first.

It also looks like last night won’t be the EDM star’s only foray into Ubering — if the below tweet is ...

Jane Levy’s Sci-Fi 60s Musical ‘Bang Bang Baby’ Is ‘Bananas’

by 8 mins ago

With Reporting By Josh Horowitz

Jane Levy has fought the undead in “Evil Dead” and, far worse, dealt with life in the suburbs in “Suburgatory,” but now the young actress faces one of her biggest obstacles to date: musical theater.

The young starlet plays, well, a young starlet in her new movie “Bang Bang Baby,” one who wants to escape her small town and become a star. It’s a classic story… at least until the human mutations come into play. I’m sorry, Jane, can you describe it better for us?

“It’s like a sci-fi musical melodrama set in the 1960s,” Levy explained when MTV News caught up with the actress at TIFF – adding that her character imagines being swept away by an Elvis-inspired singer. “She’s bananas, you find out.”

She also has to sing, something Levy was scared of and excited for at the same time.

“I did one song, we recorded it live on set, and it’s used in the movie… the rest I recorded in the studio,” Levy said. “That was a fun experience but really scary.”

Since the movie takes place in the 60s, it’s done in the style of old movies, with Levy telling us they even shot old-school, “on treadmills with a projection on the background,” which made her and her costar Justin Chatwin feel at once awestruck and a little terrified.

“Sometimes Justin Chatwin and I would look at each other and think ‘Do we need to get the hell out of here right now, what are we ...

This Jetpack For Running Has Us Psyched For The Future

by 14 mins ago

When you think about it, it’s frankly insulting that the year is 2014 and we’re STILL not able to fly around on fiery jetpacks, like the Spy Kids…

spykids-jetpack-gifYouTube

But a team of researchers from Arizona State University has brought us one step closer to that feat by coming up with the raddest invention ever: A jet pack for running. The contraption is called the “4MM,” because it’s designed with the goal of having the wearer run a four-minute mile. It weighs a fairly hefty 11 pounds, and looks like a bionic backpack — check out the official video:

So does it actually work? Researchers are still making it lighter and more efficient, but they did a test in which a subject trimmed about 20 seconds off his running time. All in all, it sounds pretty promising, especially when you consider its ultimate objective: The 4MM is being designed with soldiers in mind, potentially to save their lives when they’re put in dangerous situations and need to escape quickly.

That’s all well and good, except we’d still secretly like to see Usain Bolt sprint with one of these things. Just try to imagine what that kind of mind-boggling speed would be like.

Tom Hardy With A Puppy Is Just One Reason To See ‘The Drop’

by 17 mins ago

The Drop,” a gritty crime drama with just enough chill to be a perfect early fall film, has a lot to recommend it. For one, it’s the latest project from Dennis Lehane, the award-winning writer behind “Mystic River” and “Gone Baby Gone.” For another, it’s the last movie that James Gandolfini ever made, and our last chance to watch him in a role for the first time.

And of course, there’s the part where Tom Hardy will be sharing his screen time with a seriously cute co-star with floppy ears and a waggly tail.

But what do the critics have to say about “The Drop”? Below, we take a look at the reviews.

Tom Hardy is in top form.
“There is a whole lot of Hardy going on, and “The Drop” is at its best when we can observe how the actor slowly peels away the layers from his character in a finely calibrated performance that builds to a satisfying full reveal in the final act.” — Susan Wloszczyna, RogerEbert.com

It’s less plot, more chemistry.
“Mr. Roskam’s direction is gratifyingly loose. He lets the story, which is really the least interesting part of the movie, more or less take care of itself, allowing us to savor pungent morsels of dialogue and bits of low-key actorly showboating. The counterpoint between Mr. Hardy, compact and intense, and Mr. Gandolfini, expansive and subtle, is engaging (though also sad, of course), and so is the cop-show banter whenever Mr. Ortiz arrives on screen.

Great performances elevate the ...
