The 11 Hottest (Much Less Famous) Wives of Celebrities


Guy Who Thought He Was Having Quintuplets Finds Out His Girlfriend Was Never Pregnant

If you would have bet me one million dollars last week that a woman has the ability to be so psychotic that she can convince her own body that she is pregnant even when in reality she isn't, then I would currently be hauling ass for the Mexican border to get out of that bet.

According to Huffington Post, a Canadian man who thought his girlfriend was pregnant with quintuplets learned last week that he will instead be the father of zero children because his girlfriend was never pregnant in the first place.

Paul Servat told reporters that all of the signs and symptoms of a pregnancy were there, like the morning sickness, lactating, and one hell of a belly:

man who thought he was having quintuplets finds out his girlfriend is not pregnant after all

But it was all the result of a condition known as pseudocyesis, where a woman tricks her body into thinking that she is pregnant.

The couple had amassed a large amount of toys, clothing, and other things that are needed when you have a litter of kids thanks to donations from people who visited their Facebook page. But Servat said he is returning everything to their original owners or giving it all away.

No word yet as to whether or not Manti Te'o sent Servat and his girlfriend a card expressing his deepest sympathy for their loss.

I suppose that this story technically qualifies: A Gallery of Pregnant-Women Fails

I Don't Remember This Scene from "Say Anything"

The 20 Best Responses To Asking Random People What 'Gluten' Is

$

Over the last few years the biggest concern for Americans has shifted from terrorism and global warming to a little substance called gluten. If you saw "This Is The End," you probably remember the hilarious scene where Seth Rogen and Jay Burachel discuss what gluten actually is and how it affects your body. I'll be honest and admit that I had no clue what it was before looking it up online. I decided to ask 20 people to tell me exactly what gluten is without looking it up online. It turns out, not many people have a clue what it is, other than it's probably bad for you. Here are their answers:

1. "Man, all I hear is people talking about gluten and how bad it is for you. I had never even heard of it until like a year ago when Dr. Oz or somebody started yelling about it."

I don't think that was an actual answer but I'll allow it because of how passionate he was when responding.

2. "Gluten is the substance in cheap meats like hot dogs or Hot Pockets that makes them taste better despite being low quality. That's how it makes you sick."

So...any food that has the word "hot" in it is full of gluten?

3. "I think it's chemically processed wheat, right?"

No, but I think that's how the ninja turtles were created.

4. "It's the crunchy bits on top of pasta, potatoes, or French fries that give them flavor, but it's actually really bad for you."

That's salt. You just described salt.

5. "Isn't it like some kind of grain? Like a grain that they put in cereal and whatnot? I don't know exactly, but I know it's something to do with grain."

Look for this guy on Twitter using the hashtag #grain.

6. "It's the barley, rye, and pumpernickel that people used to use in foods before they found a healthier alternative that won't make you sick."

Remember how all of our grandparents were always throwing up from eating old timey pumpernickel?

7. "I'm really not sure, but they used to use it in food. But now they use it to fatten animals before using them for food."

You probably should have stopped at "I'm really not sure" because it went downhill after that.

8. "Gluten is the part of the corn husk that will make you sick if you eat it. A lot of companies use it to make foods taste better, but it's actually really bad for you."

It has absolutely nothing to do with corn husks whatsoever.

9. "Isn't it some kind of extract out of corn they use to make things besides food? I know they use it in food, but it can be used for other things as well."

If those first two little pigs had built their houses out of gluten instead of straw or sticks, they would have held up forever.

10. "It's a grain that causes you to get sleepy or have diarrhea."

If that's the case then anyone that has ever eaten a Hot N Ready from Little Caesars is gluten intolerant.

11. "Oh it's how Burger King and McDonalds make their breads last longer. It's a kind of glaze they put on them made of preservatives."

I'll have a large fry and a McGluten to go, please.

12. "It's fat, but it sticks to your insides so that's why it's called gluten. Because it is a glue-like substance that sticks to you and makes you sick."

So they're basically like magnets but ones that make you throw up?

13. "Some gluten is bad for you, but your body needs some gluten in order to survive. It turns it into energy."

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of photosynthesis.

14. "It's something that companies invented so they can sell me the exact same product for more money."

Is it all just a conspiracy? How high does this thing go? Biden? Olivia Pope? The Yellow King?

15. "My aunt can't eat it because she's gluten intolerant."

This was seriously someone's answer. Maybe it only affects our aunts. Has anyone done that study yet?

16. "Gluten is the substance that gives cereal its color and causes allergic reactions in kids and some adults."

So you're saying that if I sneeze after eating Fruity Pebbles it's because of the gluten?

17. "It's what makes dough stretch. You know how those guys will make pizzas and throw them up in the air? That's from the gluten."

I was with you on the part about making the dough stretch, but you lost me when it turned into a Domino's Pizza commercial.

18. "I think it's a starch that causes people who are allergic to it to get really sick and gain weight."

I'm fairly certain none of those words are correct. It's definitely not a starch.

19. "It's really bad for you."

Tell me more, you all knowing shaman.

20. "I cheated and looked up the definition. A substance present in cereal grains, esp. wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. A mixture of two proteins, it causes illness in people with celiac disease."

So, that clears it up....right?

Man Named Christopher Reeves Arrested While Wearing Superman Shirt

Sure, the real Superman would never have been caught with 52 grams of meth in his possession, but I guarantee his alter ego in Superman III sure as hell would have.

According to the New York Daily News, a Utah man named Christopher Reeves was arrested Tuesday after police found a boatload of meth in his vehicle when they pulled him over for driving erratically. But let's be honest. Who cares? This kind of thing probably happens at least twice an hour in Utah.

It's the fact that he was also wearing a Superman shirt at the time of the traffic stop that makes this story newsworthy:

christopher reeves arrested with superman shirt

Reeves was charged with a DUI and narcotics possession but has yet to bust through the walls of the jail where he is being held on $15,000 bond.

Numerous media outlets are reporting that Reeves is not related to George Reeves or Christopher Reeve, both of whom played Superman during their acting careers.

That doesn't mean he doesn't have anything in common with them, though. I mean, George Reeves fell from grace with a single gunshot to the head, Christopher Reeve fell off a horse, and now Christopher Reeves has fallen off the wagon.

Driving around with 52 grams of meth is pretty stupid, but it's not as dumb as this: The Dumbest Costumed Criminals of All Time

Man Busted Robbing Same Store That Put Him in Prison 15 Years Ago

Some men were put on this planet to play the hell out of the piano, while others were born to be the best damn lawyer money can buy.

But according to Huffington Post, it seems that a New Jersey man was put on this Earth to do one thing, and unfortunately for him, he's terrible at it.
guy robs same shoe store 15 years later
Police say 40-year-old Christopher Miller had recently finished a 15-year stint in the clink for robbing a the Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River in 1999. But after being released and tasting freedom for a little more than 24 hours, Miller hopped on a bus from Atlantic City, went back to the same store, and robbed it again.

After ganking $389 and a couple cell phones, Miller fled the store on foot. Police caught up with him a few blocks away and put him back behind bars where he's being held on $100,000 bond. Police didn't say whether or not he would have gotten away if he would have stolen a new set of sneakers instead.

If he still has the $389 in his pocket, that means he's just $99,611 away from freedom. If he does manage to post bail, we'll give the authorities one guess as to where they can find him.

The 10 Craziest "How I Met Your Mother" Finale Theories

$
0
0

by Nick Nadel

After nine seasons of Robin Sparkles songs, slap bets, and that weird episode where Britney Spears played a receptionist, "How I Met Your Mother" is drawing to a close on March 31st. While we've already met The Mother, we still don't know exactly how lovelorn Ted will meet her. This has led to all sorts of speculation about how the series will end. Also, since we're in the lull between the end of "True Detective" and the next season of "Game of Thrones," the Internet needs something to obsess over.

Will any of the many fan theories play out in the no doubt legen-wait for it!-dary finale? Read on as we uncover just a few of the many nutty theories about how the long-running CBS sitcom will wrap up.

The Mother Is Dead
The most popular finale theory has it that The Mother is dead in the future where Older Ted has been regaling his terminally bored children with tales of his swinging single days pining over every woman that came within 10 feet radius of him.

The entire basis for this theory comes from The Mother's line to Ted about what kind of mother would miss her daughter's wedding. Ted then gets emotional, causing The Mother to change the subject to Barney's nutty antics. Thus, fans are wondering if the show will reveal that the mother is dead in the future where Ted is trying to get his kids interested in multiple "slap bet" stories.

Even though Cristin Milioti, the actress who plays The Mother, has called this theory "insane," fans are still wondering why Ted gets so emotional at the thought of his wife not being at their daughter's wedding. Though, admittedly, it doesn't take much to make Ted turn into a blubbering mess of feels.


The Mother's Not Dead, But She's Dying

So if she's not dead, it could be that The Mother is sick when Ted gets emotional about the idea of her missing their daughter's wedding. Fans have pondered that perhaps the mother will suffer a future health scare during the finale, but will end up fine and come in at the end with milk and cookies to save the kids from hearing yet another inappropriate story about their sociopathic Uncle Barney's sexual conquests.

This theory is actually far more likely than the death one considering how the HIMYM writers love to pull heartstrings with cheap narrative tricks. And what's cheaper than the 'ol "one of the characters has TV cancer but then she's fine a scene later" bit?

The Color Theory Explains Why Robin Was Never Going to be "The Mother"

A popular fan theory boils Ted's two great loves -- Robin and The Mother -- down to two colors that are on opposite ends of the color spectrum. The Mother has been associated with the color yellow thanks to her first appearance carrying an oversized yellow umbrella like some adorable moppet out of a whimsical French children's book. Meanwhile, many fans believe that Robin is Ted's "purple giraffe," a reference to the second episode of the series where Robin reports on a story about a kid getting stuck in a crane game machine while trying to retrieve a stuffed toy. (Get it? Ted is the greedy kid trying to get the purple giraffe that is always out of his reach.)

Furthering this theory is the scene in the season 7 episode "No Pressure" which closes the door on Robin and Ted's potential future as a couple. As fans with a lot of time on their hands have pointed out, everyone in the cast wears purple during the episode. But then there's a ray of hope when Ted is surrounded by yellow umbrellas.

While the idea that the writers always intended Robin and The Mother to be each other's opposites is interesting, it was recently debunked by the show's costume designer. Turns out Cobie Smulders just looks good in purple, which we could've told you since she looks good in literally anything.

A Widowed Ted Ends Up With Robin

Fans who still hold out hope that "Tobin" (that's a 'shipper portmanteau, right?) will happen believe that after The Mother died, Ted shacked up with Robin Sparkles herself.

One thing that gives Tobin fans hope is the episode where Marshall says that he isn't ready to acquiesce on his bet with Lily about whether or not Ted and Robin will end up together.

Of course, this theory presupposes that Robin and Barney will get divorced, which would be really unsatisfying considering that an entire season of television has been devoted to their seemingly endless wedding. (Though Barney could still die thanks to a well-placed crane kick courtesy of his rival Ralph Macchio.)

One huge problem with this theory is that Future Ted always refers to the kids having an "Aunt Robin" during his many stories. And it would be pretty creepy if Ted made his kids call their new mom "Aunt Robin."

Barney Meets the Big Bro in the Sky

Co-creator Carter Bays was quoted as saying that the finale is "really heartbreaking," so therefore someone must die. (Or, you know, he could just be sad that his cash cow TV series is ending.)

If The Mother lives, perhaps it's Barney who fist-bumps the Great Bro in the Sky. This would free up Robin to end up with Ted. As for The Mother, uh, she also dies to explain Ted's line about their daughter's wedding. Then at Barney's funeral, Ted and Robin reconnect. That should please the Tobin fans. Also, who knew How I Met Your Mother fans were such a morbid bunch? Clearly they want the finale to be bloodier than the end of Breaking Bad.

Ted Has Alzheimer's

Another explanation for why Ted is regaling his children with detailed stories about his past is that he's doing it because he'll soon lose all of his memories to Alzheimer's related dementia. Ted gets emotional at the idea of his daughter's wedding because he knows that he'll soon forget everyone in his life.

This theory doesn't totally hold water because it assumes that Ted already has Alzhemier's during the scene where he talks with The Mother about Robin and Barney's wedding. Ted looks older in that scene, but not old enough that he'd be a candidate for Alzheimer's. Yes, the disease can strike younger people, but something tell us creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays aren't going to use the final episode of their long-running sitcom as a platform for early Alzheimer's screening awareness.

Ted Is Dead/Danny Tanner is the Father

This theory only works if you take the title of the show super literally. The idea is that Ted is dead in the year 2030 and Bob Saget (who is the voice of Future Ted) is playing The Mother's new husband who is telling Ted and The Mother's kids the story of how he met their mother.

Proponents of this theory point out that Bob Saget has never been credited as "Future Ted" and therefore could be playing another character. Hold up - maybe Bob Saget has been playing Danny Tanner all along! See, at the end of Full House, Danny cryogenically freezes himself and then wakes up in the year 2030. For some reason he's at Ted's funeral (maybe he works with Robin on "Wake Up, New York" which explains how he knows everything about Ted's life) which is where he meets The Mother.

Then, Danny and The Mother start a new "full house" full of children who sit quietly and listen to longwinded tales of the mating habits of moneyed white people during the '00s. Oh, and Kimmy Gibler shows up as their robot neighbor. Forget How I Met Your Dad - this is your spin-off right here, CBS!

The Kids Are Ghosts

This theory explains why the kids never age during Ted's rambling stories. (Seriously, did he need to tell them about the time Uncle Marshall went on the search for the perfect hamburger?)

Basically The Mother and the kids died tragically (let's say in a car accident while shopping for a birthday gift for Ted because the show loves bittersweet irony), so Ted is all alone, recounting the story of how he met the love of his life to his ghost children. So the kids are always the same age just like how Casper the friendly Ghost is perpetually a child. Basically all the secrets of How I Met Your Mother can be found within the pages of Casper the Friendly Ghost comics.

Ted and The Mother Couldn't Attend Their Daughter's Wedding Because of Putin

One creative theory that popped up on Reddit explains why The Mother couldn't make her daughter's wedding. Basically Russia invades America in the year 2016 and Vladimir Putin outlaws gay marriage. Ted and the Mother's daughter is a lesbian, and therefore she couldn't get married, hence Ted tearing up over The Mother not being to attend her own daughter's wedding.

Yeah, this one probably isn't going to happen. (At least let's hope not.)

The Future Scenes Take Place During a Zombie Apocalypse

Personally, we're hoping that the final scene of the series pulls out to reveal that Ted and his kids are inside of a bunker during the zombie apocalypse of 2030. In an effort to calm his children and keep his sanity, Elder Ted tells them the world's longest "meet cute" story. Of course, the kids get bored after dad's 1,000th digression, which explains their look of perpetual annoyance during the framing sequences. But what else are they going to do, go out and get eaten by zombies?

So they sit, listening to their dad tell yet another story about Barney's playbook and Robin's chirpy coworker Patrice when suddenly the bunker door bursts open and in comes The Mother except that she's a zombie because, again, zombie apocalypse. And right behind her is Zombie Robin and Zombie Lily and Zombie Barney and Zombie Marshall who funnily enough shows more life as a zombie than he ever did during nine seasons of the show. And, uh, Zombie Martin Short's character from a couple seasons ago is also there because Martin Short is always awesome. Then all the zombies devour Elder Ted as his children sigh in relief that the story has finally, finally, come to a satisfying conclusion.

New Jersey Man Arrested for Riding a Tricyle Naked

They say you learn something new everyday, and today's lesson is that it's apparently illegal to get butt-ass naked, snort a bunch of coke, and ride a tricycle made for children through your neighborhood -- even in New Jersey.
man cocaine riding tricycle naked
According to UPI, Jermaine Jones was riding a tricycle through a Lakewood apartment complex in just his birthday suit Tuesday evening. When police arrived on the scene, they found him under a stairwell "chewing glass and cigarette tobacco."

The 31-year-old Trenton man admitted to doing blow, but if he was chewing on glass, it sounds like he was probably snorting some kind of household cleaning product as well. He was arrested and charged with being naked in public and being under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance.

Jones was also treated for minor cuts to his mouth at a nearby hospital, which everybody knows comes with the territory when you decide to munch on glass.

Sergeant Greg Staffordsmith of the Lakewood police reiterated the tricycle Jones was riding was a children's model, which means there must be a tricycle out there for adults. And that's almost as pathetic as being busted riding a kid's model nakedly through an apartment complex while coked out of your dome.
