Illegally taking a selfie while voting for our next Prez may have won Justin Timberlake 30 days in the clink and a $50 fine. Only a matter of time until Trump blames this on Crooked Hillary. Sad! #TRIGGERED
Everyone gagged over the slutty devil/angel/playtex costume Mariah Carey wore to her one-week-early Halloween party. Sadly, it's clearly photoshopped—Mariah would never let someone as skinny as that skeleton be in the same picture as her. #TRIGGERED
Over the weekend, Scarlet Johansson and her French husband Romain Dauriac opened a gourmet popcorn shop in Paris. Get over yourself Jojo—my mom just bought me a microwave and I’m doing some pretty fancy shit, too. #TRIGGERED
Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians shows a clip in which Kim says, “Actually, I hate guns,” just weeks before being robbed at gunpoint. See how quickly Mama Kris gathers inspiration for a plotline?! #TRIGGERED
In more Kardashian news, Vivid Entertainment has turned Kim’s infamous sex tape into a virtual reality experience. “If this were up-to-date, it’d be more like Grand Theft Auto”– Paris Hilton, probably. #TRIGGERED
The Gilmore Girls revival trailer has arrived, and we get to hear Yale graduate Rory tell a swelteringly hot Milo Ventimiglia, “I’m feeling very lost these days. I have no job. I have no credit. I have no underwear.” We see what you’re doing with that last bit, Whory Gilmore. #TRIGGERED
Chris Martin brought his kids Apple and Moses onstage at a concert in Malibu, and they’re actually really, really talented performers. Looks like singers who aren’t children of celebrities should start consciously uncoupling themselves from dreams of pop stardom #TRIGGERED
Kanye West announced that he wouldn’t be attending the Grammys if Frank Ocean’s Blond weren’t nominated. I didn’t get invited, but let the record show that’s why I’m not going either. #TRIGGERED
