Hey, why not watch classic movies overdubbed with the voices from Spongebob Squarepants’? Seriously, what have you got to lose, other than your bad attitude, Mr. ‘I-don’t-want-to-hear-Spongebob-do-’Singin’-in-the-Rain’? In this video, Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward and Sally provide the dialogue to scenes from cinema classics ‘Casablanca,’ ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and ‘The Godfather.’ It’s a great way to teach children about classic films/introduce them to R-rated movies! Win-win!

Cats Barf to Techno Music, Internet to Close Up Shop (1 video)

Well, someone has done. A YouTuber made a video of cats barfing set to techno music. Where can viral videos go from here? Time to close up shop, internet. There’s nowhere to go from here. But, seriously, good luck watching this video! No, seriously, good luck watching this — we aren’t sure how it ends. It was too gross for us. If you’re not totally disgusted by watching cats throw up, you’ll probably think this video, which syncs up cats retching to house music, to be the, uh, cat’s PJs. If you are totally disgusted by watching cats throw up, maybe this is not the video for you. Or maybe challenge yourself — how far can you get? (Our guess: not very.) Good luck!

In news that would have the characters on ‘The Big Bang Theory’ salivating, Kaley Cuoco (who plays hot girl-next-door Penny on the hit sitcom) is dating Hollywood’s newest Superman, Henry Cavill. It’s a match made in nerd heaven. Aka Comic Con. “They are totally hot for each other,” a pal revealed to Us Weekly. Said yet another source, Cavill is “a massive ‘Big Bang Theory’ fan” and “has always wanted to date her.” The couple have been decidedly hush-hush about their relationship, but in a now-telling tweet from a couple weeks ago, Cuoco revealed that she loved the new ‘Superman’ and you should too — and to prove it, she included a snap of herself drooling lovingly at a promotional photo of the guy we now know is her new man. Her missive included the commentary, “Everyone go see ‘man of steel.’ It’s fantastic in every single way.” What we’re saying is last month you got trolled by Penny … and you didn’t even know it.

WTF Is She Wearing: Jennifer Lawrence at Paris Fashion Week (3 photo)

Jennifer Lawrence usually bats .1000 on the red carpet and at big events, but the Oscar winner whiffed mightily with this outfit — simply because the pants have such a split fashion personality. The actress, now a Dior pitchwoman, wore a pair of the brand’s billowy, harem-style trousers at the Christian Dior Couture fashion show in Paris on Monday (July 1). She paired the pants with a cute, cropped pink top, showing off her trim midsection. But those pants … No, they were not as hideous as Miley’s Hall of Shame bottoms, but they were an anomaly. The only thing semi-saving this outfit was the fact that J. Law exuded effortless cool behind a pair of Dior shades. Notice one leg has pleating and the other has print. One is voluminous while the other feels more straight-legged. It’s as though the designer couldn’t decide which trend to go with so instead opted for both. Tailored? Flowing? Tailored? Flowing? Decisions, decisions, decisions. See, even fashion brands can be wishy-washy.

In the early days of rap and hip-hop, the rappers always politely sent words to our mothers — only it came out more like “word to ya’ mutha.” But really, if you listen to the lyrics of most rap songs, your mother is the last person you’d want to hear them. And that’s where Jimmy Kimmel and Big Sean‘s mom come in. In the most recent installment of his segment ‘Words From Your Mother,’ Kimmel had Sean’s maternal unit read lyrics from his song ‘Dance’ (A$$).’ Which she does, eloquently and adorably. The woman is the picture of taste and composure. In front of the picture of, well, ass. Sorry (not sorry) you can’t stop laughing now. And just for good measure, here’s a sweet snap of Sean and his mom that he posted to his Instagram account a couple months ago. Honest to God, she’s cute as a kitten calendar.

Tracy Morgan Finally Gets a Daughter (3 photo)

Comedian Tracy Morgan, the father to three boys, has been wishing hard for a baby girl — and it all paid off today (July 2) when his fiancee, Megan Wollover, gave birth to a daughter the couple named Maven Sonae. Maybe it’s just us, but we smell a future sitcom called ‘That’s So Maven!’ Early this morning, Tracy joyfully posted the news to Twitter: “Mother and child are doing fine,” 44-year-old Morgan told People of his fiancee and her first child. “Love to all my fans and thank you for your support. We hope to see you soon.” A rep for the couple told the magazine that the baby was born in New York at 12:03 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2, and that she weighed in at 7 lbs., 3 oz. Morgan has three sons from a previous marriage, but Maven is his first daughter, which seems to be awfully reminiscent of a plot point on ’30 Rock’ in which he realizes that everyone is someone’s daughter. Yes, even strippers. (Oh, ’30 Rock.’ How we miss you.)

Pink‘s new song, ‘True Love,’ has quirky cute lyrics and a video to match, starring her husband Carey Hart and their cherubic daughter Willow. And it’s all kinds of adorbz. The video features scenes of domestic bliss between the couple and their little girl (dressed in a squee-worthy shirt reading “I’m all Hart”), switching between on-stage and behind the scenes shots of the singer during her tour. It also finds Pink and her hubby in front of a green screen interacting with flash tattoo art, which somehow escalates into the cutest rose petal fight we’ll probably ever see. (Also the only one we’ll probably ever see.) Bonus: It’s a love song without being an overly sentimental schlock-fest. Because with lyrics like this, it has to be pure Pink: “I wanna hug you / I wanna wrap my hands around your neck / You’re an asshole but I love you / And you make me so mad I ask myself / Why I’m still here, or where could I go / You’re the only love I’ve ever known / But I hate you, I really hate you, / So much, I think it must be / True love” Que simultaneous "aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!"

Some babies cry pretty much all the time like a shrieking siren of doom — except apparently when Adam Lambert is rocking them to sleep with his voice. And he doesn’t even need to be in the room to do it. As proof, we present this video of an infant who won’t stop squalling unless he’s listening to the velvety voice of the Glam One. “When our 6-week-old baby doesn’t stop crying, there’s only one thing that can rescue us… And that’s Adam Lambert – ‘Never Close Your Eyes (Radio Edit).’ The healing powers of this record are remarkable,” the baby’s mama posted on YouTube. “Please let me know if it cures any other babies.” Asked by viewers if her tot is equally calmed by other music, she responded, “Nope, this is the only song it works with.” So you know what to do, exhausted mothers. Buy an Adam Lambert cutout and hide a boombox behind it that plays his music on a constant loop. Apparently it’s the same sound the baby hears while in the womb. How’s that for a parenting tip?

5 Ambiguous Movie Endings That Had Ridiculously Simple Solutions (6 photo + 1 video)

02 jul 2013 15:50

Once a film’s over, what’s really going to stick in your head is the ending. Those last moments will be what you and your buddies discuss long after the credits have rolled and is why filmmakers put a lot of stock in those last few scenes. It’d be really easy to make an M. Night Shyamalan joke about now, but kicking a man whose career has had the same trajectory as a skydive without a parachute seems a little too far. Besides, it’s more than just twist endings, which are becoming more and more ubiquitous in Hollywood cinema that I’m on about here. Teases for new movies, be it a sly line of dialogue or a post credit sting also work well, but if you really want to get audiences chatting, leave them uncertain. Nothing’s going to make people recommend a film more than when they’re not even sure if there’s a twist at all. After seeing the film whose ending is succinctly solved in the image above, the ending stumped me for months. I saw the film multiple times in cinemas, each time debating with my fellow cinemagoers over the increasingly high number of nuances we were picking up. Me and my friends would even spend nights out in the real world trying to get to the bottom of what we saw. So without any more forced ambiguity, here’s ten films that people constantly say have confusing, cryptic endings, but actually have pretty simple and obvious solutions. Hopefully you’ll come away with feeling a little more certain about some classic films. Warning – MAJOR SPOILERS for every film featured. Only a handful come from the past few years and most form a key role in popular culture, but better safe than sorry.

He’s the only human being that can pull off the kind of joke punctuating normally reserved for a dog covering its eyes with its paws.

One could argue that Cap is a lot more than just a buffoon in a suit. If you've read Captain America comics over the years, the series has often explored what it means to be a patriot, especially as the moral waters become more and more complex. For all the simplicity the character seems to engender, he's often had complex looks at how creative teams struggle with their country, such as War & Remembrance and Captain America No More. Hey, this is getting a little heavy. Bring on the Cap booty dancing!

I’m both prone to motion sickness, and scared s–tless of heights, so the Mirror’s Edge games are mostly just terrifying and uncomfortable for me. Speaking of terrifying and uncomfortable, some British guys went and strapped a camera to themselves as they were bounding around rooftops and construction sites and the result is a video that looks shockingly similar to Mirror’s Edge gameplay. I had to watch the entire thing through my fingers…

TRENDING NEWS: Police In Hawthorne, Ca Arrest A Man And Shoot His Dog (1 photo + 1 video)

02 jul 2013 16:42

I just want to warn you up front that this is one of the most disturbing things you will ever see, especially if you’re a lover of dogs. With that said, it’s something that probably needs to seen, precisely because it’s so disturbing on a number of levels. Here’s the gist of what happens in the video embedded below: a man named Leon Rosby is seen videoing some sort of large police operation going on in a residential part of Hawthorne, CA while walking his dog, Max. A couple of cops near the scene then walk over and promptly slap handcuffs on Rosby, who had put Max in his car when the officers began to approach him. When Rosby’s dog saw the officers arresting its owner from the car, it naturally got upset and began barking, eventually jumping out the window of the car to run to Rosby’s aid. One of the cops then unloaded on the animal. All of this was captured on video by other bystanders. Again, I warn you, this is very disturbing to watch, so proceed with caution before you press play. According to a report by the Daily Breeze, Hawthorne police claim they arrested Rosby because the music playing in his car was loud and was “distracting the officers.” Additionally, Rosby had previously refused to comply with a request by police on the scene to turn down the music. As for why they shot Max, a police spokesman said they did it out of concern for the safety of the officers, but also out of concern for Rosby: “We’ve got a guy handcuffed that’s kind of defenseless. We have a duty to defend him, too.” I guess pepper spray or, you know, uncuffing Rosby so that he could calm his dog weren’t viable alternatives to deadly force. Also, I’m sure it’s no big deal that this took place in Los Angeles County and involves a black man and two white cops. Ugh.

Also, we're starting to think Yukio, the red-headed ninja waif, has pretty low odds of making it out of this movie alive. Fox also revealed some exclusive pictures over on IGN, featuring more of Yukio, Mariko (who is apparently less of a doormat here than in the comics), the Silver Samurai, and, oh yeah, Wolverine.

Last month we enjoyed artist Mike Wrobel's depiction of Game of Thrones characters if they lived in the 1980s and '90s.

There's Tyrion Lannister in a shirt based on a Parker Lewis Can't Lose episode. Khal Drogo and Bronn both look suitably badass in grunge gear and Adidas tracksuit, respectively. Cersei Lannister is looking as quarrelsome as ever in glam rock mode. Margaery Tyrell is channeling Six from Blossom (Don't know about the future; that's anybody's guess). And then there's Theon Greyjoy in a picture which simultaneously made me laugh-groan and get the heebee-jeebies.

Short of line-by-line highlighting the entire episode there’s very little I can do to convey the sheer brilliance that is “A New Attitude.” If you left “Colony Collapse” assuming it would be your favorite of Season 4, I’ll venture a guess that you crowned a new champion by the time the credits rolled here. So much GOB goodness, surface jokes and meta jokes galore, storylines coming together, perfectly utilized Ben Stiller, this episode is Season 4 at its absolute best. I got all tingly when the mariachi band played. So perfect. Let’s get right to what you may have missed and then handle the rest of the highlighting in the comments, shall we? That way we can entertain each other over our national holiday in the thread below. Man, I have been over-explaining the sh*t out of everything lately. “Is yours Julie Bowen?” Presumably because Mitch Hurwitz has on many occasions alluded to Modern Family being a more mainstreamed version of Arrested Development, there are several Modern Family references throughout Season 4, the best of course being this opening bit where GOB and Michael get competitive over the fact that neither of them is dating Julie Bowen.

If you’ve been following the show all along, you should know that the premiere ratchets up the interoffice politics to an even greater degree next season. It looks like the season’s big bad, so to speak, is Edward Darby, the British guy who merged his firm with Pearson Hardman at the end of last season. Edward Darby is played by Conleth Hill, and even though he was in two episodes last season, and even though I am obviously a religious viewer of Game of Thrones, it took me until midway through the third-season premiere to realize that, “Hey! That’s Varys!” Sometimes, outside of context, it just never clicks.

Back in April, the three designers behind this awesome toy project recorded a video (after the jump) explaining what the massive tower would come with, and for the hefty price of $199.99, LEGO enthusiasts and LOtR fans get the six-floor tower, 5 character figures, as Great Eagle and their very own Ent. Although, for $200 I should be able to summon my own army of Uruk-hai.

One of the cool things about having young nieces and nephews is that I can buy them the latest and most awesome LEGO sets under the complete guise that I’m going to help them put them all together...

Miley Cyrus recently sat down for an interview with Billboard.com to discuss, among other things, her musical inspirations, and she named the five female singers who have had the greatest impact on her. For starters, she mentioned her godmother Dolly Parton as being the influence of her childhood, and followed that up with Joan Jett, because she “represented a time when females weren’t supposed to come out and kick ass” and that’s a pretty solid 1-2 punch. Her third choice, however, was a bit more intriguing, as she said that it’s Lil Kim because “She just is” and then it got a little confusing. “In my past life, I feel like that was me, like Lil Kim is who I am, like, on the inside, and she just makes me happy listening to her music, and she is, like – I just love her.” I don’t know if that means that Miley thinks that Lil Kim is dead and she was Lil Kim before she died, or if she means that in her past life, she was someone like Lil Kim. I think it’s the latter. And does she mean that she’s Lil Kim pre-plastic surgery or Lil Kim after plastic surgery, because there’s a pretty big difference these days.

American inventor Doug Engelbart passed away last night at the age of 88 from kidney failure, and while he’ll be known as many things – husband, father, grandfather and the creator of hypertext – he’ll forever be known as the man who invented the original computer mouse. In a 2004 interview with Wired, Engelbart offered some insight into his technological legacy that he first started developing more than five decades ago. I first started making notes for the mouse in ’61. At the time, the popular device for pointing on the screen was a light pen, which had come out of the radar program during the war. It was the standard way to navigate, but I didn’t think it was quite right…We set up our experiments and the mouse won in every category, even though it had never been used before. It was faster, and with it people made fewer mistakes. Five or six of us were involved in these tests, but no one can remember who started calling it a mouse. I’m surprised the name stuck. (Via Wired, H/T to Tech Crunch) Engelbart patented his mouse in 1970, but it didn’t become an everyday computer accessory until 1984, when it was included with the Apple Macintosh. However, according to Fox News, Engelbart’s patent expired just three years later, after which the patent became public domain and he never made much money at all from the mouse. Regardless, between the mouse and his many other accomplishments, Engelbart is remembered fondly in his industry as a man who saw the future of today’s computers and networking long before anyone else.
