Watch Supermodel Kate Upton Own Jimmy Fallon At Flip Cup (1 photo + 1 video)

I like Kate Upton plenty as a model, and I LOVE her as a Dougie enthusiast, but after watching this clip from last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon her flip cup game is what I respect most about her. She didn’t go to college so what you’re witnessing is sheer drink and flip ability, you see. The best news of all is now when we inevitably hang out for the first time I won’t have to awkwardly segue into drinking games as planned. “Nice dog. Say, do you know what rhymes with hip pup?”

'Star Wars Rebels' Eyes Freddie Prinze Jr. and More (1 photo + 1 video)

It’s become increasingly difficult to separate truth from rumor in the ongoing revamp of the ‘Star Wars‘ franchise, as every day seems to bring new reports of leading actors or fan-favorite characters slated to join the new film trilogy. If nothing else, however, confirmed animated series ‘Star Wars Rebels‘ has made new strides in shoring up a voice cast, from the likes of Freddie Prinze Jr. and ‘The Butler’ star David Oyelowo, himself previously rumored for a role in the films. The Hollywood Reporter broke news of the casting negotiations, adding to the list of Oyelowo and Prinze that Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Gray and Steven Jay Blum have also been contacted for leading roles in the series set to debut in late 2014. Oyelowo (‘Lincoln,’ ‘Interstellar’) had recently been rumored for a filmic ‘Star Wars’ role, though his potential placement among the ‘Star Wars Rebels’ cast wouldn’t necessarily preclude the possibility, either. So far, we know that ‘Star Wars Rebels’ will take place “in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape,” while concept art of a new Millenium Falcon-esque starship serving as a central location has made its way online. Picking up where the now-canceled ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ left off, ‘Star Wars Rebels’ will feature on the creative side screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg (‘X-Men: First Class,’ ‘Elysium‘), who’s writing the first episode, as well as ‘Clone Wars’ supervising director Dave Filoni and ‘Young Justice’ producer Greg Weisman. What do you think? Are you interested to see what ‘Star Wars Rebels’ brings to the canon next year before ‘Episode 7′ debuts in 2015? Who would you like to see populate the cast of ‘Star Wars Rebels’? Check out the original announcement below, and hit us with your ideas in the comments!

Dave Grohl Remembers Last Conversation With Kurt Cobain (1 photo)

Together, Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl made history. Nirvana broke new ground with ‘Nevermind’ in 1991 and the living members of the band are currently celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the band’s follow-up effort, 1993′s ‘In Utero.’ In a new interview, Grohl speaks with Rolling Stone about his relationship with the late Kurt Cobain, revealing his final exchange with the singer. When asked about the early days and living together as a band, Grohl recalled, “Living with Kurt was funny. He isolated himself in a lot of ways, emotionally. But he had a genuine, sweet nature. He never intentionally made you feel uncomfortable. Living with him in that tiny apartment in Olympia, Washington, there was some sort of bond. But it was much different than his relationship with Krist.” Speaking about that bond, Grohl characterized it as something more kin than what he personally shared with Cobain. He explains, “I looked at Krist and Kurt as soulmates. The two had such a beautiful, unspoken understanding of each other. Those two guys, together, totally defined the Nirvana aesthetic. Every quirk, all the strange things that came from Nirvana came from Krist and Kurt.” An overdose in Rome nearly claimed Cobain’s life prior to his eventual 1994 death, and Grohl recalls his final conversation with his colleague and friend. He states, “I called Kurt after Rome. I said, ‘Hey, man, that really scared everybody. And I don’t want you to die.’ Then I saw him at our accountant’s office [in Seattle]. He was walking out as I was walking in. He smiled and said, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ And I said, ‘I’ll give you a call.’ And he said, ‘Okay.’” Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ album turns 22 today (Sept. 24), while the ‘In Utero’ 20th anniversary edition (available here) arrives in stores today after celebrating its official 20th anniversary over the weekend.

Motley Crue Debut Fiery Stage Show for Las Vegas 'Evening in Hell' (1 photo + 1 video)

Motley Crue promised state-of-the-art pyrotechnics for their ‘An Intimate Evening in Hell’ residency at the the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and it looks like they weren’t just blowing smoke. According to preeminent rich & famous lifestyle chronicler Robin Leach, who previewed the band’s set for the Las Vegas Sun, attendees should “expect fire alarms and flashing-light warnings” for a fire-filled show that will reportedly find Tommy Lee drumming “inside a mystical symbol also set on fire” and Vince Neil singing ‘Home Sweet Home’ inside a “white-angel Liberace-esque cloak…that will be sprayed with fire retardant nightly.” Leach secured an endorsement from Vegas fixture Carrot Top, who enthused, “You can feel the heat! All of Las Vegas will know the show’s started — it’s that loud and fiery. It wasn’t just the Joint that shook from it; the entire hotel did.” “There is no show like this. There never has been, and there never will be,” Neil told Leach. “You’ve seen video fire from other rock acts on tour, but never the real thing. It’s more than any rock group has ever produced or attempted. It really is entering the depths of hell. There’s fire all around and fire coming down from above.” Neil went on to insist that fans could look forward to more than just special effects; in fact, he says the band’s set list puts him through his paces more doggedly than most. “I don’t get one break,” he explained. “We start with a song from when we began 30 years ago. We’ve reached back over the years to old hits to match up with new hits. It’s a difficult set list for me vocally — ‘Too Young to Fall in Love’ is no easy song to perform. We rehearsed the entire show in L.A., but we tested the entire set list with shows in Oklahoma and Miami. The reaction was incredible.” The band couldn’t do everything they wanted to do — Leach’s article mentions “plans for robots” that were dropped due to safety concerns, and questions whether fire marshals will allow them to attempt setting a stuntman on fire atop a blazing piano — but the end result still sounds suitably over the top. “We have the best fire tech experts in the world. This is so over the top, the only thing cool is what we do!” laughed Neil. “Basically, we’re setting everything on fire in a way that’s never been done before.” Based on the photo-filled Twitter feeds of Leach and Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, it looks like everybody had fun and avoided the emergency room. The first fan video from the show has now turned up, too — you can check that out below. ‘An Intimate Evening in Hell’ is scheduled to run from Sept. 18 through Oct. 6.

Taylor Swift Has New Hairstyle at 'Romeo + Juliet' Premiere [PHOTOS] (4 photo)

Taylor Swift has been sporting impecabbly styled dishwater blond hair with bangs for a while now. But the starlet mixed it up for the red carpet premiere of ‘Romeo + Juliet.’ What’s her new look like? She’s still got the solid blond, which unfortunately looks almost green in certain lighting and doesn’t do her much justice. She also still has bangs … but with a twist! Swift swept her bangs to the side for the event. The result was some what mixed. On the bright side, you can see the ‘Love Story’ singer’s bright blue eyes a lot better, and the sidesweep accentuates her cheekbones as well. On the negative side, well, they’re simply too short to sweep effectively, and it just looks like she’s stuck in an awkward growing out phase, especially because of the wispy flyaways on the left side of her face. We’re not having a ‘Love Story’ with this style, but hopefully it’s a hint at a return to her once-signature curls. We miss them!

10 Hilarious Donna Meagle Reaction GIFs From Parks And Recreation (11 photo)

Retta's Donna Meagle makes the UPROXX Spirit Animal Power Rankings for a number of reasons: self-confidence, tell-it-like-it-is-atude, and -- most importantly -- scene-stealing lines everyone should use on a daily basis. And with us conducting a week long Parks and Recreation countdown it only seems fitting to kick things off with a reminder of how much more spectacularly badass we'd all be in real life (or at least on the internet) if we all borrowed from Donna Meagle on the reg.

Chicago Couple Have Sex While Driving (1 photo + 1 video)

The likes of Aldon Smith are DMV instructors compared to the two drivers in the video below, one of whom is having sex with a lady while driving and the other who’s filming the entire performance. It takes a certain amount of skill, and a lot of dumb luck, to get away with driver’s seat missionary position while speeding through Chicago at 50 MPH, and even more talent to narrate the footage with, “I wanna get her bouncing again.” “Dying after crashing into a tree while having car loving” is a form of a “safe sex,” right?

What SteamOS Is, And Why It Matters (1 photo)

In the first of three announcements Valve is running this week about gaming in the living room, they showed their usual modesty and restraint and announced an entire freaking operating system that can stream your entire game library. So what, precisely, is SteamOS? And why is it a big, big deal? What It Is SteamOS is basically a custom operating system built on Linux, that streams games on Steam, that Valve is giving away for free. A good analogy is to think of it as the Android of gaming PCs; Valve has publicly declared they’re handing it out to anybody who wants it. This is important for two reasons: One, it means the operating system isn’t limited to one set of hardware. Unlike your PS3 or your Xbox 360, both of which are difficult to get running outside the environment specifically tailored for them, basically SteamOS is built to work on anything. Secondly, SteamOS gets around some pretty severe problems with PC gaming in the living room by just streaming your games. That in of itself practically sells the OS to a lot of people. Why It Matters Because essentially it’s what will likely be the first step to making gaming genuinely hardware-agnostic. Valve is essentially trying to leapfrog to where the game industry is heading anyway. Both the PS4 and the Xbox One are, in essence, streamlined PCs. That’s not exactly a coincidence; they were built, from the ground up, to make developing and publishing games cheaper and easier by making the architecture more PC-like. Part of the reason Sony is cuddling up to indies and Microsoft is talking up the sports and television aspects is that there isn’t going to be much different between the two in terms of actual games. This trend isn’t going to reverse any time soon. AAA game development is costing more and more and there’s less and less return. And that isn’t just a problem for developers, but also for the people who sell video games. You know, like Valve. Will It Work? Let’s see, a free operating system that you can just throw onto pretty much anything with a processor powerful enough to take it, and boosts the value of your device? Yeah, that’ll do pretty well. Gaming PCs will probably ship this standard, and remember, Valve isn’t done with announcements yet; the next one comes on Wednesday.

15 Inspiring Quotes From Your Favorite Childhood Authors (15 photo)

Now that you are all grown up, and stressing out about paying your bills, wondering whether or not this is really all that life is, and that rather distressing throbbing sensation coming from the general vicinity of where you think your kidneys are, you probably think that the books from your childhood hold nothing for you. That would be an unfortunate mistake to make. Words from the people who wrote the books we loved as children still hold plenty of meaning. Here are quotes from some of your favorite childhood authors (from works or interviews) that we think are still relevant.

Louisiana Fourth Graders Learn About Pimps in Their Homework (2 photo)

You might not think that students learning about the various uses of the word “twister” would get an indirect lesson in prostitution, but some fourth graders in Louisiana are receiving just such an education. Brittney Badeaux, the mother of a 9-year-old student at Eaton Park Elementary School in Southern Louisiana’s Vermilion Parish, was quite surprised when her son brought home a school worksheet describing a song by the hip-hop artist Twista called ‘Po Pimp.’ Badeaux sent a copy of the worksheet to the radio station KPEL in nearby Lafayette, writing beneath the Twista item, “Is this really appropriate for a 9 year old! Would you like to explain what a pimp is to my son?? I’m not happy about this.”

Dairy Queen Employee's Act of Extreme Generosity Makes Him a True Hero (1 photo)

A Dairy Queen employee has scored some serious points for his customer service skills. Joey Prusak, 19, was working at a Hopkins, Minnesota Dairy Queen earlier this month when he came to the aid of a blind customer after another customer took a $20 bill the blind man dropped. The blind customer dropped the bill while he pulled out his ATM card and the other customer picked up the money and put it in her purse. That’s when Prusak sprang into action: “I told her ‘Ma’am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I’m not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.’” The woman did exit the store, but didn’t return the cash, so Prusak took his good deed to a whole other level when he took $20 from his own pocket and handed it to the blind man. The whole thing may have been forgotten had it not been for yet another customer who witnessed the scene and wrote an email to Prusak’s manager praising him. The email has gone viral and Prusak has become a hero to people across the nation. Business at the store is now booming, while Prusak has gotten job offers and has received big tips. Still, he’s not getting a big head because of all the attention he’s receiving for his good deed. He said, “I did it without even really thinking about it….Ninety-nine out of 100 people would’ve done the same thing as me.” Prusak, who’s worked at this Dairy Queen since he was 14, plans to save money to study business management. Looks like he’s on the right track.

14 First World Problems Created By iOS 7 (5 photo)

Whether you’re an iPhone fan or not, you’re probably well aware iOS 7 was released yesterday. For all non-users, this basically means the phone’s software was amped up a bit, which sounds like it’d be totally cool, but as soon as people could download it, Twitter exploded with complaints. Let us clarify– by “complaints” we actually mean “first world problems.” But seriously, it’s rough when iOS 7 suddenly gives you a Paula Abdul documentary on your phone! Ughhh.

The Funniest and Most Absurd Voicemail Videos on the Internet (1 photo + 7 video)

When you leave a crazy voicemail, there’s a chance the recipient is going to make a video of it and put it on YouTube. This is why we stick to texting. Fortunately, these people didn’t, and we can laugh at their folly. Inspired by the hilarity of that classic (on the internet) voicemail a man left as he witnessed a car accident, we thought why not go ahead and curate more voicemail videos and put them in one place, so people could enjoy them without ending up on the weird part of YouTube.

Merritt Wever Gave the Best Emmy Acceptance Speech Ever (1 photo + 1 video)

We don’t know if anyone will ever top Merritt Wever’s acceptance speech at the Emmys last night. It was brief (to put it mildly), but it was perfect. Wever won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for ‘Nurse Jackie,’ beating out Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen and other comedy luminaries. In honor of her speech, we’ll keep this short. Good job, Merritt Wever. And great GIF:

The Origin Of Bodybuilding & Evolution Of Bodybuilders (8 photo + 1 video)

The history of bodybuilding is relatively new in the grand scheme of things. Generally speaking bodybuilding began to be seen as a legitimate sport / fitness activity from as early as 1880. Eugen Sandow is known as ‘The Father of Modern Bodybuilding’, a true pioneer, he was able to build an audience around his physique – by paying a nominal amount, you were given a show whereby Sandow would flaunt his physique and take part of various strength building exercises. He soon realise that in order to keep the momentum going and hold the fickle publics interest, that he needed to expand his show beyond himself. And that’s when in 1901 he launched ‘The Great Competition’ now recognised universally as the worlds first bodybuilding contest. It took place on September 14, not in a gym or sports arena, but in the Royal Albert Hall in London of all places.

Emails From the World's Most Demanding Bride (3 photo)

The concept of a “Bridezilla” has been taken to a whole new level. A series of emails written by a bride-to-be to her bridesmaids (and shared by one of the bridesmaids) will have you shaking your head in utter disbelief. The bride lays out some crazy ground rules and then tries to show a sense of humor, but, really, comes across as the kind of desperate lady who all the guys hide see and hide in the bathroom when it’s their time to chat with her during a speed dating event. From her obsession with everyone’s weight to her completely unforgiving stance on her bridesmaids’ hair to her need to call herself “The Queen Bee,” it’s clear the man who exchanged “I dos” with her has his work cut out for himself. Yes, they actually did get married. Here are just a couple of the guidelines the woman spelled out for her bridesmaids (the bold is her work, by the way):

Mom Sells Disobedient Daughter's One Direction Tickets on eBay (2 photo)

If you want to teach your teenage daughter a lesson, why not deprive them the one thing they crave most? Proximity to the dulcet tones of One Direction. A woman in Australia decided to go on eBay to sell four tickets to a One Direction show that were initially intended for her daughter because the girl, well…misbehaved might be a delicate way to put it. Read the description for yourself to hear all the rage. You can practically see the steam coming out of the mother’s keyboard as she wrote this:
