Ellen DeGeneres Hilariously Hits Back at Eric Trump’s Absurd Conspiracy Theory


We already knew that the Trump brothers love a good Twitter fight, which was only amplified earlier this week when Eric Trump took to Twitter to accuse national treasure Ellen DeGeneres of being involved in the “deep state” of America (or, a group of influential people who are allegedly trying to take down his father, President Donald Trump, from office. “Crooked Hillary” Clinton and President Barack Obama are also persons of interest, naturally) based on the fact that Twitter’s algorithm suggested he follow her along with the aforementioned politicians. DeGeneres, ever the ray of sunshine that she is, thinks this is absolutely hilarious and has made her amusement known.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres dedicated her usual opening monologue to Trump, playfully admitting that—what a shock—the deep state rumors aren’t true. She just doesn’t have the time or the resources, folks. “I’m sorry to disappoint you. I am not part of the deep state. I’m honored that you think I’m powerful enough to be part of a government conspiracy,” she began. “Even if somebody wanted me to be involved, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ve got my gay agenda meetings on Monday, and on Wednesday, Beyoncé and I host an Illuminati brunch. And then Portia [de Rossi, her wife] and I on the weekends are desperately trying to have a baby. So, I can’t.”

What’s most ridiculous about her name floating around a secret government conspiracy, she says, is that “no one has undermined Donald Trump more than Donald Trump.” You know, not her.

In fact, the reason Twitter suggested Eric Trump to follow DeGeneres, she reasonably reckons, is because both of his sisters—Ivanka and Tiffany—follow her already. “Maybe you should follow me, because I post a lot of cute videos,” said said, queuing up a video of a cat massaging a dog. (Iconic!) “We might not agree on politics, but I think we can both agree this is cute.”

She’s not wrong, Eric.

Chrissy Teigen Hilariously Live-Tweeted This 8-Hour 'Flight to Nowhere'


Chrissy Teigen and John Legend just wanted to “go to Tokyo for New Year’s Eve and sushi“, as you do, when they encountered every traveler’s worst nightmare. Just a few hours into their flight, the plane they were on turned around and returned to the airport they’d departed from. Naturally, Twitter-loving Chrissy live-tweeted the whole thing, and it’s gold.

On Tuesday evening, Teigen and Legend boarded All Nippon Airways Flight 175 for what was supposed to be an 11-hour flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo. But after taking off at 11:36 A.M. PST, the plane headed back to Los Angeles International Airport—landing just after 7 P.M. that same day. Apparently, a passenger with a United Airlines ticket had mistakenly been allowed on their flight. Which, um, how does that happen?

According to CNN, when the flight crew found out, the pilot had no choice but to return to the departure gate to comply with airline security protocol.

“A flying first for me: 4 hours into an 11 hour flight and we are turning around because we have a passenger who isn’t supposed to be on this plane,” Teigen tweeted. “Why…why do we all gotta go back, I do not know,”

A few minutes later, Teigen proved she was handling the situation much better than most of us probably would. “Lmao after all this I will have spent 8 hours on a flight to nowhere,” she wrote. “Like we were all just havin a great time up here flyin in the sky watching gran torino time to go home now.”

She even felt kind of bad for the person who caused an entire plane of passengers to be delayed by what basically equated to an entire day. “This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane,” she said. “Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!”

Teigen then pointed out a very big flaw in the whole “airline security” thing: “They keep saying the person had a United ticket,” she wrote. “We are on ANA. So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere.”

Which is probably why the plane was taken to a secure area and several passengers were interviewed by police after they were deboarded at LAX. “They put our plane in a secure area,” Teigen wrote. “We can’t be near the common folk.” Then: “Police were interviewing all the people seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane. Why would they do this! I MUST KNOW MORE.”

The passengers were later moved to a “room” where, according to Teigen, the “feds” attempted to silence them with all the Bravo they could watch.

“Clearly the authorities are trying to keep me quiet so I don’t BLOW THE LID OFF THIS ‘SITCH,’” she wrote.

She then had ramen and took a selfie in the holding room with Legend.

Fortunately, the story does have a happy ending. Almost eight hours after arriving back at LAX, Teigen, Legend, and all the other 200-plus passengers were put on another flight. Admittedly, things did get a little strange on the second plane when Teigen realized they were being greeted with Star Wars music and a Yoda, who’d been strapped into one of the airline seats.

Luckily, this time was a go: “Taking off!!! Please don’t be the same menu please don’t be the same menu.”

Verdict:

Things quickly started to get a little rough again, though:

We’re crossing our fingers for her sake. Here’s to a safe landing and an excellent sushi dinner.

Anna Kendrick Just Hilariously Shaded the 'Pitch Perfect' Movies


There’s no denying that Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Rebel Wilson, and the rest of the Barden Bellas love the Pitch Perfect movies. They wouldn’t have made three films—and even discussed the possibility of a fourth—if their passion wasn’t there. The behind-the-scenes pics from the Pitch Perfect sets show just how much these gals enjoy getting their acapella on with each other. It’a sisterhood, simply put—a sisterhood that rakes in boatloads of cash at the box office.

But that doesn’t mean the Bellas can’t roll their eyes—playfully, of course—at the franchise every now and then. I mean, Pitch Perfect is pretty ridiculous if you think about it. It’s about college-level acapella singing, which I didn’t even know was a thing.

And the promotion for each of these films has been stacked with “pitch” puns, both naturally and forced. The tagline for the first movie was “Get pitch-slapped.” The second one was pretty obvious: “We’re back, pitches,” But the third one takes the cake in terms of cheesiness and awkwardness: “The Night Before Pitchmas,” one of the posters advertising the film reads. Yes, “Pitchmas”—as in “Christmas” with the word “pitch” in place of “Chris.” It’s official: We’ve now reached maximum levels of “pitch” wordplay.

Kendrick agrees with me, too—if her most recent post on Instagram is any indication, that is. The actress posted a photo of the film’s “Night Before Pitchmas” ad and captioned it with something pretty hilarious and shady (in the best way possible). “Feels like we might be forcing the word play at this point BUT I DON’T CARE. #Pitchmas #WhateverThatIs,” Kendrick wrote. See it for yourself, below:

Of course, Kendrick wasn’t actually being snarky here—this was most likely just a silly joke. However, we’re living for the fact a Pitch Perfect cast member said something fans have been thinking for years. Now that’s the ultimate “pitch-slap,” TBH.

Twitter Hilariously Granted Chrissy Teigen's Dream of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Glory


Although she already has a heap of accomplishments to her name, Chrissy Teigen—Queen of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Empress of Twitter, Goddess of Kitchens—has conquered yet another goal on that list of hers: She’s become a Victoria’s Secret model. Well, sort of.

First things first: She’s not actually slated to walk in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which tapes on November 21. Even so, on Saturday, she tweeted, “Crazy nervous to close the Victoria’s Secret fashion show tonight!!! Better get one last gym sesh in LOL!!!!” A little later, she encouraged her fans to check her Instagram story for further proof: “Check my instagram story !!! I am live in shanghai baby WOOOOOOOOOO”

Literally one minute went by, and she was getting impatient: “no one is answering my phone calls or emails but I am here in shanghai and ready for my fitting !!!!!!”

Of course, this is Teigen tweeting, and if there’s something we know about Teigen, it’s that she loves to carry out well-timed, Twitter trolling (and when it comes to actual trolls, she knows how to dish it out at them).

And this is when it all happens: “I wish I knew how to photoshop,” she tweeted a few minutes after her last missive. And then—and THEN: “Can someone photoshop me into this[?]” (“This” being a screenshot of a Victoria’s Secret Instagram featuring an ensemble of the models heading to Shanghai to walk in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.)

And, wow, did the Internet run with it—much to Teigen’s ebullient delight/retweet endorsement:

Others submitted some great faux-moments captured in time, too:

In truly touching tweets, collaboration happened:

There were also some artistic interpretations of Teigen’s request/some levels of trying were higher than others:

Even if Chrissy didn’t make it to Shanghai, she’ll at least have these precious fake memories to treasure.

Jennifer Lawrence Hilariously Photobombed Emma Stone on the Red Carpet


Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are two of Hollywood’s purest friends. Ever since Stone texted J-Law and she responded “F-ck off!” they’ve been inseparable. (This is how all of us start friendships, right?) At the Governors Awards in Hollywood on Saturday, Lawrence exhibited another unique display of best-friendship by jumping into Stone’s red carpet photos, resulting in some adorably hilarious pictures.

Lawrence wore a black, floral embroidered Alexander McQueen crop top and long skirt, while Stone had on a sleek white buckled Louis Vuitton dress. But despite their sophisticated dresses, they got silly in their photos, where they’re laughing, dancing, and hugging—antics you don’t normally see on the red carpet. Or rather, J-Law is, while Stone contemplates where she should join in or strike a serious red-carpet pose.

“I love Emma,” Lawrence told Glamour for her February 2016 cover interview. “She cracks me up; she’s so ‘theater.’ She’s so adorable.”

This isn’t the first time the two have entertained us by bucking convention at industry events. During the Toronto International Film Festival in September, J-Law caught Stone off-guard by moving in to hug her when she wasn’t expecting it, eliciting a half-hearted back-pat on her part. But don’t be fooled by their awkwardness—they’re closer than ever.

Taylor Swift Hilariously Makes Fun of Herself on These New 'Reputation' Magazine Covers


The theme of Taylor Swift’s new album, Reputation, is not subtle. It’s all about firing back at the rumors, scandals, and so-called “feuds” that plagued her for the past two years. A large portion of that is directed toward supermarket tabloids and gossip blogs, which routinely write untrue—and sometimes inflammatory—stories about Swift and her relationships. Swift’s covered this topic before—”Blank Space,” anyone?—but never this intensely…or this much. It’s a charged album, to put it gently.

And the materials she’s releasing with the album are equally as charged, albeit a little more tongue-in-cheek. Swift created two magazines that fans can snag exclusively at Target (when they buy Reputation on Friday) that seemingly mock the tabloids she confronts on her album. Each glossy features Swift’s face on the front, along with sensational, intentionally hyperbolic lines about her life that could easily be on the cover of any gossip magazine. “Taylor shocker! Taylor tells all her in shocking intro,” reads one line. “Handwritten lyrics reveal the truth,” reads another.

The intent here is clear: Swift’s trying to illustrate how ridiculous these articles can sometimes come across. And she’s trolling herself (and her cats), which is pretty hilarious. Of course, several pop stars have done this before (Britney Spears’ song “Piece of Me” is essentially a middle finger to Us Weekly), but Swift took things to another level by literally creating publications. It’s petty in the most delicious way possible.

“Forgot to show the back of the Target magazines. On Friday, you can get your hands on this quality reading material,”Swift tweeted, along with photos of the magazine covers. Check it out for yourself, below:

Reputation is slated to drop this Friday, November 10.
