Teen Mom OG: Look Who’s Joining the Cast Now!

That’s it, reality TV. We give up. You win. Every time we think this genre of entertainment cannot get any more absurd or far-fetched, we fire up the Internet or turn on the small screen and we’re proven wrong.

From Capilano Stadium to Nat Bailey via Degrassi, producer lights up C’s games

Little Stephanie Williams didn’t dream, on those days when her dad took her to watch baseball at what was then Capilano Stadium, that one day she would be perched on top of the roof, producing the game presentation for the Vancouver Canadians. “I’m a huge baseball fan,” the Prince of Wales alumnae said. “I found it very fun to come here as a young girl. My dad brought me here all the time, he taught me how to very politely heckle the umpire.” Just how politely? “I’d suggest the umpire needed glasses.” Williams has been to just about every major league stadium in North America, not so many minor league… Read More

The Situation: I’ve Been Sober for Almost Three Years!

Remember back in the old days of Jersey Shore, before any of the cast members had kids and they were just out there, living their messiest lives? Those were wild times, right? And, looking back, they were actually kind of sad times, too. While Ronnie and Sam’s terrible relationship made for some fantastic reality television, it was also pretty remarkably unhealthy. Since Ronnie’s in another remarkably unhealthy relationship these days, complete with domestic violence charges, things obviously haven’t changed too much for him. Snooki and JWoww are both married with kids, and Deena is married and pregnant. Sammi is trying to lead a more private life now with her boyfriend,… Read More

Nun Fires Perfect First Pitch Strike, Leaves Internet in Awe

It’s official. In case there was any doubt before, all debate has now been put to rest: Sister Mary Jo Sobieck of Marian Catholic High School in Chicago is a better pitcher than 50 Cent. As proven in THIS CLIP, the rapper is on record as having thrown the worst first pitch in Major League Baseball history. So, in that sense, the perfect strike tossed by Sister Mary in the video featured here did not have a high bar to clear in order to be placed higher than 50 Cent’s attempt many years ago. But this awe-inspiring nun didn’t just head out to the mound on Saturday and barely manage… Read More

Like ‘building a city here in a park’: What it takes to set up the PNE

Every year, more than 720,000 people funnel into the Pacific National Exhibition fairgrounds for concerts, mouthwatering food and exhibition eye-candy. But ahead of each festival comes a need to stay original, and planning for the public’s ever-changing palate. And for that, the PNE has a man behind the scenes to make it happen: Faizzal Fatehali. As the manager of exhibition space for five years, Fatehali picks the exhibits, the food, the outdoor products, all while controlling the layout to make sure they flow well together. For the duration of the festival’s run, the exhibition’s blueprint becomes his life. “It’s a beast here,” he said. “We’re literally building a city here… Read More

The Pursuit of Blondness

Turn on the TV or scroll through Instagram, and it’s not difficult to find a sea of blond politicians, news commentators, celebrities, and social-media influencers. Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian West, and Justin Bieber have all, at some point, traded their dark locks for golden hues. Hillary Clinton, the first woman to get a presidential nomination from a major political party, colored her hair blond. And in the administration of Donald Trump alone, there’s the president himself, Ivanka Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Kirstjen Nielsen, Betsy DeVos, Linda McMahon—even Hope Hicks highlighted her brunette hair when she served as communications director. Why, exactly, is blond hair so popular in America? The poet… Read More

Why Are So Many People Flushing Their Contacts Down the Toilet?

I hadn’t given much thought to throwing away my contacts in the toilet. I don’t do it often, just when the bathroom trash can is full. It doesn’t seem especially dangerous—contact lenses feel so impermanent, so flimsy and transparent that they’ll simply dissolve as they swirl down the train. When I confessed this habit to my editor, I was met with incredulity: Surely, this must be a quirk? But I have scientific vindication that I’m not the only one. According to a new study presented at the American Chemical Society’s National Meeting and Exposition, 21 percent of contact-wearers flush their contacts down the toilet or sink, instead of throwing them… Read More

MTV VMAs Flashback: Ladies and Gentlemen… Kelly Clarkson!

Kelly Clarkson won American Idol in 2002. But she won the hearts, minds and, yes, even souls of music fans everywhere three years later. At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, the original Idol champion belted out what most people would probably say – even now, even all this time later – is her best track: Since U Been Gone. The song is more than just a female empowerment anthem. It is pop music at its finest: catchy, memorable, with a message to which many can relate and full of notes that only a select few artists can hit. Clarkson, of course, is one of those artists. She… Read More

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra: We’re Engaged! And Gorgeous!

Just about a month after the exciting news broke that Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra were engaged, the hunky singer and the gorgeous actress accomplished two things on Saturday: They confirmed the huge development.
