This is Why More and More Men Are Painting Their Nails

If you see a male with painted toes and fingernails and assume that he’s either a) got a young daughter or b) is somehow living outside the mainstream of masculinity, well, be prepared to change your assumptions, my friends.

The menicure is here, and it looks like it’s gonna stay.

A post shared by NAILS by MEI (@nailsbymei) on

Fashion trends come and go, but I, for one, always cheer for the ones that bring up discussions about freedom and longstanding but useless social constructs, don’t you?

Men painting their nails isn’t exactly new – musicians like Kurt Cobain and David Bowie led the charge in the days of grunge and emo, and actors and other celebrities like Marc Jacob and Jonathan Van Ness are on trend today, along with (according to Mei Kawahiri) Harry Styles, Asap Rocky, and Pete Davidson.

Though it used to be that black nails was the main thing on men, guys today are really venturing out – choosing different colors and, honestly, living their best lives.

Whether they take a leap with color or stick to neutrals that are easy to match, men getting manicures and pedicures is becoming a mainstream thing.

Anything that challenges us, promotes inclusion, celebrates diversity, or encourages people to express their most authentic self is on the menu – and on trend – in today’s society. And as a women who has had the socially acceptable option to paint her nails every day of her adult life, I can vouch for the fact that a little pop of color can make you feel happier, more confident, and just give you a reason to smile.

There’s no reason to deny those things to men who want to paint their nails, so the next time you see a guy sporting his happy menicure, make sure to pay him what I’m sure will be a well-deserved compliment.

Kobe Bryant Made Hundreds of Kids Happy Through the Make-A-Wish Program

It’s still hard to believe that Kobe Bryant is really gone.

And as time goes on, we uncover more of what he did to make a difference and encourage others to do their best.

If you didn’t know, in addition to winning five NBA championships and an Oscar, he also granted more than 200 wishes through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Bryant said it was important for him to give back:

“Basketball is something that will come and eventually go, the beauty in that is trying to use that time to inspire others and provide some sort of escape for them. I think that’s something that lives well beyond the game of basketball and is probably most important.”

Kobe clearly had a positive impact on the families he met through Make-A-Wish. One dad, Patrick Moore, shared his account of Bryant’s visit with his son Henry. He recalled how Kobe went above and beyond to make Henry happy.

“Kobe asked why we didn’t bring anything to sign and he sent an assistant to the Laker’s store in the Staples Center. The assistant brought back a TON of stuff and Kobe signed it all. He held Henry through much of our visit. The memorabilia is still all over Henry’s bedroom. “

You can see the original post below.

Henry asked to meet Kobe Bryant for his Make a Wish. It was soon after his transplant and he had recently turned eight…

Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram to thank fans who are feeling the heartbreak of losing Kobe.

View this post on Instagram

My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever. Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org. To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org. Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me. #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family ❤

A post shared by Vanessa Bryant ? (@vanessabryant) on

She went on to ask those fans who want to make an impact to donate to the Mamba Sports Foundation and to another fund supporting the other families who perished in the accident.

Kobe’s life well-lived – even if it ended too soon – and he did what he could to make his fans happy.

Dark Moments from Kids’ Movies That Come out of Nowhere

Have you been in this situation? You’re watching a movie with your kids or your nieces and nephews that is supposed to be family-friendly – and BAM! A totally disturbing and dark moment pops up and traumatizes everyone?

These people sure did, and they shared them with all of us. So take note if you have kids…you might want to avoid some of these flicks.

These responses come to us from the Buzzfeed Community.

1. Clayton’s death, Tarzan (1999)

“The scene when Clayton gets tangled in vines and is essentially hanged. That isn’t even the worst part…because then the animators decided to add in the shadow of his hanging body swinging in the trees in the next scene. In a KIDS movie. Who even thinks of these things??? I’m still scarred.”

2. The nightmare, All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)

“When Charlie has that nightmare that he’s in hell and sees some scary-ass demons and shit. Like WTF…who is this movie for?!”

3. The scream-sucker, Monsters, Inc. (2001)

“Honestly? The big scream-sucking machine scared the shit out of me as a kid. No one thinks about it, but like…forcing kids to scream and then collecting it??? It’s dark. It still scares me. It’s horrifying.”

4. Hellfire, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

“I recently watched this again as an adult and was horrified by Frollo’s whole song. The tone of the movie is dark from the beginning, but this really takes it to a different level. All the implications blew my mind…it’s a children’s movie. Ugh, I was disturbed.”

5. The shoe’s dip, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)

“The scene when Judge Doom dips the shoe in the ‘Dip.’ It still bothers me to this day. I hate it so much.”

6. Leslie’s drowning, Bridge to Terabithia (2007)

“Of course if you read the book, you already knew about it, but if you just went into the movie thinking it was a fantasy kids movie, then you were in for a shock. It really does come out of nowhere and in NO WAY did they advertise this ‘twist,’ which made it more difficult to process for me.”

7. The opening sequence, Up (2009)

“The opening sequence leading to the miscarriage. While small children might not understand completely what was happening, an adult woman who has gone through the same definitely does…”

8. The marionettes, Polar Express (2004)

“GOOD GOD, who let Robert Zemeckis make motion capture animated movies?!”

9. Todd’s abandonment, The Fox and the Hound (1989)

“My dad always taught me that, when you adopt an animal, you make a commitment to care for them for their whole life. It was traumatizing to see her drive him into the forest and just leave him there. His little face was so confused…it’s heartbreaking.”

10. Pink elephants on parade, Dumbo (1941)

“Nothing messed with me when I was a little kid as much as that part when he gets drunk and we’re subjected to ‘Pink Elephants on Parade’ song. Absolutely not.”

Yikes! Kids, cover your eyes!

Do you know of any really creepy moments in kids’ movies that caught you by surprise?

A Kansas City Chiefs Player Celebrates Super Bowl Victory by Paying the Adoption Fees for 100+ Shelter Dogs

The Kansas City Chiefs are champions for the first time in 50 years, and one player celebrated by doing something great for his community…and for a whole lot of animals.

Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi paid the adoption fees for every dog that was available at the KC Pet Project shelter. The total was more than 100 pooches looking for a forever home.

KC WINS! We are so excited to announce that the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle, Derrick Nnadi is choosing to…

Posted by KC Pet Project on Sunday, February 2, 2020

Tori Fugate of the KC Pet Project said, “KC Pet Project cares for over 10,000 pets a year, so partnerships like this are so wonderful to help our pets find loving, forever homes. We’re thrilled and honored that Derrick Nnadi chose to do this to help us save lives in Kansas City. Our community is on cloud nine following last night’s win and this is such a heartwarming story to go along with this huge victory.”

When Nnadi played college football at Florida State, he adopted a shelter dog named Rocky. He said, “All my life, I always wanted a dog. When I first got him, he was very timid. It made me think of how other animals, whether they’re owned or in a shelter, are feeling scared and alone.”

Nnadi has been active in charity work in both Kansas City and his hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia, since he joined the NFL in 2018.

And here’s a bonus: the story about Nnadi’s generosity became so popular that TV host Rachael Ray decided to pay for dog food for all the 109 pooches once they get adopted from the KC Pet Project.

Great work to everyone involved! And go Chiefs!

Jennifer Aniston Surprised a Bunch of ‘Friends’ Fans Who Were Visiting Central Perk

Friends is the show that keeps on giving, am I right? It seems like the hit TV show is more popular than ever, even though it’s been off the air for almost 16 years. Especially with all the rumors and innuendo about a possible Friends reunion, people are pretty fired up about the series.

As the debate swirls about whether or not there will be a reunion, Jennifer Aniston decided to have some fun with Friends fans for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The Ellen show is taped on the Warner Bros. lot where Friends was filmed, and the iconic “Central Perk” coffee house from the show is still there for fans to visit.

Jennifer Aniston decided it would be a fun prank to pop out from behind the couch in Central Perk and scare the daylights out of fans who were visiting. That’ll be a good story to tell their friends and family when they head back home from vacation.

Here are some of the hilarious reactions. Be sure to scroll to the end to watch the video.

Enjoy this video of Jennifer Aniston in action scaring fans. It’s a hoot!

Now, wasn’t that delightful! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for that Friends reunion. Hopefully those Hollywood bigwigs will make it happen, and soon.

So what do you think? Will there be a Friends reunion or will they just let the hit show’s legacy stay in the past? Judging by this photo from a few months ago, it looks like it might be ON.

14 Times Hollywood Age Gaps Were Very Surprising

In real life, people can be with whoever the heck they want – young-young, young-old, it doesn’t matter. In Hollywood, though, age gaps get a little more political. And while Hollywood is notorious for pairing older actors with younger actresses as love interests, some of these movie age gaps – not all of which are even romantic – are really pretty mind-blowing.

And not really in a good way, so be warned.

14. In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman was 30 years old, playing 21, and being seduced by the seemingly much older Anne Bancroft, who was only 36 irl.

Image Credit: Embassy Pictures

Mrs. Robinson’s daughter, played by Katharine Ross, was 27 – only 9 years younger than Bancroft.

13. In Singin’ in the Rain, Debbie Reynolds was cast when she was 19 years old, while love interest Gene Kelly was 40.

Image Credit: MGM

And yeah, she had to act like she wanted to make out with him.

12. In The Manchurian Candidate, Angela Lansbury played the onscreen mom of Laurence Harvey, who was only three years younger.

Image Credit: United Artists

If that’s not a comment on women’s employability in Hollywood, I don’t know what is.

11. In Carrie, Sissy Spacek was 26 when she played a 16-year-old.

Image Credit: United Artists

The woman who played the gym teacher, Betty Buckley, was only 28.

10. In Magic in the Moonlight, there was a 28-year age gap between onscreen lovers Emma Stone and Colin Firth.

Image Credit: Sony Pictures Classics

Ho-hum, just another sexist day in Hollywood.

9. In Love Actually, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Keira Knightley were only five years apart.

Image Credit: Universal Pictures

He played a 10-year-old, and she played a married woman. Though this isn’t entirely unrealistic, it’s still crazy to think about.

8. In Forrest Gump, Sally Field and Tom Hanks played mother and son.

Six years earlier they played love interests in Punchline. FYI, she’s 10 years older than him in real life.

7. In Alexander, Angelina Jolie played Colin Farrell’s mother.

Image Credit: Warner Bros.

He was 28, she was 29.

6. In The Hobbit series, Orlando Bloom was actually older than the actor who played his father.

Image Credit: Warner Bros.

Lee Pace is two years his junior. Though they were playing elves, who, admittedly, age strangely.

5. In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Dick Van Dyke was six months older than Lionel Jeffries, who played his father.

Image Credit: United Artists

I mean, to be fair, Dick Van Dyke was an alien who never really aged.

4. In the Harry Potter series, Shirley Henderson was 35 years old when she started playing Moaning Myrtle.

Image Credit: Warner Bros.

Myrtle was a 14-year-old ghost.

3. In Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Cher played Meryl Streep’s mom.

Image Credit: Universal Pictures

Meryl is younger, but only by 3 years.

2. In White Christmas, Rosemary Clooney was 26 by the time the movie premiered, while Bing Crosby was 51 – nearly twice her age.

Image Credit: Paramount Pictures

No wonder she wasn’t really into it, blue eyes or not.

1. In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Sean Connery played Harrison Ford’s father.

Image Credit: Paramount Pictures

There is only a 12-year age gap between the actors.

 

I really had no idea how old some of these actors are, so there’s that. And wow do I need some better anti-aging products.

These Celebrities Were All Cut out of Famous Films

When actors and actresses reach a certain level of fame, you might think they can demand roles and screen time – but it turns out that almost everyone has to work for their time in front of the camera, not matter how famous.

Just like the rest of us work for a living.

How do we know? Well, you’ll probably be surprised by these 13 celebs who thought they were in a movie, only to find out later that their part had ended up on the cutting room floor.

13. You might have thought Daisy Ridley was in Inbetweeners 2, but her part was chopped.

View this post on Instagram

Are you excited for #Inbetweeners2?

A post shared by Inbetweeners 2 Movie (@inbetweeners2) on

It wasn’t her fault; her scene needed to be re-shot, but she couldn’t make it because she was already on set working on Star Wars.

12. Paul Rudd played one of Kristen Wiigs’ bad dates in Bridesmaids.

They said Paul was very funny, but the movie was long and we didn’t really need a third man in Annie’s life. See the cut performance here.

11. Angela Bassett shot several scenes as a villain in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Director Doug Liman told Entertainment Weekly that the character was cut when he rewrote the film’s ending.

10. Matt Damon reprised his role of Linus Caldwell (Ocean’s 11) for Ocean’s 8, but didn’t appear in the final film.

The appearance was cut for plot reasons, but also because of a petition that asked for his removal after his “thoughtless and sexist comments about Harvey Weinstein.”

9. Jena Malone was cut out of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

She played Jenet Klyburn, a weapons expert and ballistics specialist at S.T.A.R. Labs who helps Lois Lane.

8. Leonardo DiCaprio was originally in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.

He recently told Marc Maron on this WTF podcast that he had a small role with a few lines, but he couldn’t get it right and the entire bit ended up cut from the film.

7. Princes Harry and William shot cameos as stormtroopers in The Last Jedi, but had to be cut out.

They were too tall, guys. That’s it.

6. Harrison Ford originally made a cameo in E.T.

His then-wife Melissa Mathison wrote the movie, and Steven Spielberg directed, but Ford’s role as the uptight principal who reads Elliott the riot act didn’t add enough substance to make the final cut.

5. Tim Roth was axed from the final version of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood – 34/100 Im going to say this in the nicest way possible so all the @leonardodicaprio and @bradpittofflcial super fans don’t attack me! This movie was not very good. Crap actually! Maybe I’m just uncultured to what the heck was going on. But from the hop I felt like I was watching Inception. I had zero idea what was going on! Before you say “you don’t understand it, it’s a @tarantinoxx film!” I will say…. “it still sucked”, because I loved Pulp Fiction. Also…why you gotta do Bruce lee like that, man was a King-fu killer. The reason this rating is so high is because of one person…. @margotrobbie • • • • • • #onceuponatimeinhollywood #moviereview #movie #movies #film #filmreview #review #moviereviews #cinema #cinephile #moviebuff #films #movielover #moviereviewer #movietime #filmreviews #filmcritic #moviecritic #movienight #reviews #cinematography #drama #movieaddict #horror #netflix #followforfollowback #comedy #leonardodicaprio #margotrobbieedit #margotrobbie

Though he delivered memorable performances in a number of Tarantino films, his role as a British butler didn’t make the final cut this time.

4. Ellen Pompeo filmed a key role in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – but you never saw her.

She played Jim Carrey’s ex-girlfriend Naomi. The director actually filmed a video essay that explains why he decided not to use any of her scenes.

3. Eric Stoltz filmed the role of Marty McFly for 5 weeks before being replaced by Michael J. Fox.

the best movie trilogy ever . . . #backtothefuture

A post shared by Raccoon (@theraccoon10) on

Director Robert Zemeckis claimed most of the problem was that Eric wasn’t delivering on the script’s humor.

2. Sterling K. Brown’s entire character was cut from Split.

Director M. Night decided that the professor/neighbor character took the film away from its main focus for too long – it’s one of the deleted scenes, though!

1. Robert Pattinson played Reese Witherspoon’s son in Vanity Fair.

Given that they’re only 9 years apart in age, casting them as love interests in Water for Elephants made more sense.

 

I’m totally surprised by some of these, are you?

Which one shocked you the most? Share with us in the comments if you would!
