There’s a viral trend on TikTok that got started with a seemingly simple question: Would women rather run into a bear or a man in the woods? Now people are discussing the fact that a lot of women have admitted to preferring the bear. USA Today reports how this debate — simply referred to as “Man vs. Bear” — is said to have been started by TikTok account, Screenshot HQ, who posted a video of women being asked this question seemingly around the United Kingdom about a week or so ago. By the end of the video, all the woman...

Actress Megan Fox offered advice to single women regarding their goals for this summer. "I don't know if I'm the best person to give advice, because my advice is just to learn a skill or develop a hobby," Fox told E! News exclusively. "The only thing they're going to do is wear you down. Keep going. Invest in yourself," she told The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes at the Revolve 2024 Festival on April 13, "and don't waste your energy on the kids," she said. Fox later shared a video of her interview with E! News on her Instagram, writing:...

Supermodel Christie Brinkley has not closed the door on love, but the ageless beauty is not sure there is a suitable person open for her. Brinkley recently admitted that while she "remains open" to a relationship, she is unsure about the dating pool. "There just doesn't seem to be anybody out there," she lamented to People magazine. Brinkley has been married four times, famously to singer Billy Joel and most recently to architect Peter Cook.

A single Kentucky mother posted dozens of lengthy, diary-like posts where she professes her love for Bryan Kohberger, claims to have sent him letters and pictures of herself, and calls the quadruple murder suspect her "divine masculine." The woman, who goes by Brittney J. Hislope on Facebook and claims to have a 16-year-old son, has written about her feelings for Kohberger nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day since early January. "I know that the last I had heard weeks ago is that Bryan is being kept isolated from other inmates, and so I know that we do both...

I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead - Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster. The voters have spoken - be careful what you wish for…— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) August 3, 2022

It’s San Francisco. Rightly, when it comes to love, anything goes. But one wedding this month garnered attention for breaking one of the last barriers in this country’s long fight for marriage equality. Rick Welts, president of the Golden State Warriors, married Todd Gage, a Southwest flight attendant, in Room 200. It is believed to be the first time an executive for a professional men’s sports team married his same-sex partner. According to the Advocate, there are no out players in professional male sports and just a smattering of out executives and coaches. Same-sex weddings in the macho world of...

Meghan McCain - the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain - called out at President Donald Trump shortly before his State of the Union speech Tuesday night over a dig he reportedly took at her father's book sales, posting on Twitter that his "obsession with my father 6 months after his death is pathetic and telling." McCain’s comments were in response to reports that Trump took a shot at the former Republican senator who died in August after being diagnosed with brain cancer during a luncheon with television news anchors. In addition to criticizing Democrats, Trump reportedly said McCain’s...

The President is not your daddy. Do I really have to say this? To supposed adults? To people qualified to vote in a democratic Republic? There are two items I came across this week that seem to indicate that indeed I do. No one ever taught these people to reason their way out of a paper bag, or even told them why they should. ... I’d say these are not adults in any sense of the word, but that’s not exactly true. Throughout most of the history of our species, adults had a set of beliefs it was best not...

A Las Vegas prostitute who was hired by murderer Stephen Paddock has spoken out about their 'violent' sex sessions and how he bragged about having 'bad blood'. The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spent hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as 'paranoid' and 'obsessive'. If he hit a winning streak, he would take her back to his room for 'really aggressive and violent sex' including living out rape fantasies, she said. Paddock also boasted about his bank-robber father, saying that 'the bad streak is in my blood' and 'I was born bad',...

Lindsay Lohan tweeted out support for Donald Trump over the long July 4 holiday weekend, urging people to stop bullying the president. On Monday, the actress replied to a tweet with a screenshot of a Breitbart article about Trump’s willingness to help Charlie Gard, a baby in Britain whose parents are unable to afford to keep him on life support. “THIS IS our president,” Lohan tweeted. “Stop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA.”

Friday on MSNBC's "Hardball," the son of former president Ronald Reagan slammed the Republican base as the "the most ignorant 20 percent of America." "Here's the Republican Party once again presenting themselves with all sorts of Catch-22 situations," Reagan said. "I assume John Boehner is trying to appeal, as well as to people in his party there in Congress, the 20 percent of America that's really the most ignorant 20 percent of America. i.e., the Republican base. The problem with that is while you are appealing to the ignorant 20 percent, 80 percent of the country think's you're crazy and...."

Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow appeared on Fox News Wednesday to psychoanalyze President Barack Obama, claiming the president won’t negotiate with House Republicans because his father “abandoned” him and his grandmother “didn’t trust men of color.” Steve Doocy of “Fox & Friends” introduced the segment by showing clips of the president referring to the shutdown as a “hostage” situation. Doocy asked Ablow if Obama’s “language” reveals anything about his personality. So, the average person might hear partisan rhetoric, but what do you hear in the words the president’s using?” Doocy asked. “Well, in the words ‘hostage taking… being held for ransom,’...

Sunday could be a bittersweet first Mother's Day for Casey Greenfield. Greenfield is a pretty, ginger-haired, Yale-educated lawyer and writer who last March gave birth to a love child. The baby's father is married CNN star and best-selling New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin. (Casey's father is esteemed political pundit Jeff Greenfield.) Ever since we broke the news of her pregnancy, Casey has remained silent about the baby drama. But now some of her friends are fed up with what they claim is less-than-gallant behavior on Toobin's part. Greenfield, now 36, was in her 20s when she fell for Toobin, now...

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Police searched homes in the Danish capital on Saturday for activists involved in street clashes that began when police evicted squatters from an abandoned building that has served as a center for anarchists, leftists and punk rockers. Two nights of violence between police and youths protesting the eviction have turned parts of the Danish capital into a battlefield strewn with burning cars and shattered glass. Two new demonstrations started Saturday afternoon, with hundreds of people marching peacefully toward Copenhagen's main square, Danish media reported. As the smoke and tear gas cleared Saturday morning, police said 188...

I was all wrong about "Narnia." Which is to say, about six months ago in this space I was hell-bent on the white-hot idea that Hollywood and the Christian-right group/billionaire that helped produce the tepid and saccharine flick would absolutely ruin "The Chronicles of Narnia" books, ruin the deep magic and the astounding sense of wonder these books held for millions of children (including this writer) by regurgitating them as a slick, dumbed-down, poorly acted smarm-fest full of ham-fisted Jesus allusions and excessive special effects, all from the director who brought you, ahem, "Shrek 2." Things did not, shall we...

All the Nudes That's Fit to Print Radicals planning to cause mayhem at the GOP convention should accept this sad fact: Murdoch’s minions are waiting.The last time a major party held its nominating convention in New York City, I was among the tribe of protesters clamoring outside. I had hitchhiked from Oakland to Manhattan and, after adventures with a guy in Barstow who claimed he was jumping parole and barked, "I swear by my white skin!" after each beer, or the gentleman in southern Missouri who loaded the shotgun in his rifle rack and declared his intention to shoot the...
