Best teacher disco dance prank ever. Today

I could watch this all day and tomorrow too.

According to Gawker, "Taking advantage of the high spirits (and spirits high), Abby Kelley Foster High School history teacher Mike Penney invited his students to reflect on ups and downs of the school year that was — all while secretly sneaking his fellow teachers into the background to do some stealth disco" and then set it to music.

Welcome to Life

This doesn't sound like fun at all. Which is just how the robots like it.

Angelina Jolie buys Brad Pitt a helicopter. Allegedly

WaxWhat did your significant other recently get you as a just-because gift? Flowers from the gas station? Good for you. While you pretended you were overjoyed, Angelina bought Brad a helicopter. The NY Post has this:

"Angelina Jolie certainly does not mess around when it comes to boys' toys. Jolie forked over almost $1.6 million on a helicopter and flying lessons for fiance Brad Pitt - and it is not even his birthday. FOR HIS BIRTHDAY HE GOT TWO ELEPHANTS, A CROWN MADE OF UNICORN FEET, A HORN OF PLENTY AND TWO MAGIC LAMPS A source said of the movie star couple, "They've had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home I'M HAVING A SOAP DISPENSER INSTALLED IN MY BATHROOM, SO I KNOW A BIT ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING, Chateau Miraval, so Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present." SO THAT HE WOULDN'T SUSPECT ANYTHING, SHE HID IT UNDER THE CHILDREN. The source added, "But even though Brad has his private pilot's license, he still needs to take a few flying lessons, which he'll start straight away." Perhaps they could take Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, out for a spin now that they are back on talking terms after years of fighting and public digs. The "Friends" actress sent them a £500 bouquet ahead of this week's Cannes Film Festival to congratulate them on their engagement. WHY DID SHE PAY IN POUNDS? CAN'T SHE PAY IN DOLLARS LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE? IS IT SOME SORT OF CODED MESSAGE TO BRAD? 'REMEMBER HOW WE HAD FUN IN LONDON 10 YEARS AGO?' THAT'S TOTALLY IT."

What to Expect when You're Expecting premiere

I will never see this movie, but I very much like this picture of Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz smiling their genuine smiles for the cameras. J.Lo is all like, "why is this woman wearing a crocheted doily? I'm scared." and Cameron is all, "Why would anyone take a bedspread from the Boring Acres Senior's Home and make it into a dress? I'm scared."

Kristen Stewart swears a lot, calls Robert Pattinson 'boyfriend'

Elle2In a new interview with Elle, Kristen Stewart walks around a book store, fondles the books and swears like a particularly cranky sailor. It's very charming and ladylike but, more importantly, she actually refers to Robert Pattinson as her boyfriend. Here is a selection of quotes. Via Celebitchy.

On the book/film Bel Ami: “Oh my God, my bleeping boyfriend just did this movie. The French, they’re up in arms that he did it.”

On riding horses for Snow White: “I hated it. I didn’t take to the whole mentality of bleeping ordering that thing around – ‘Go now!’ You have to be an a–hole, basically. Not to say that horse people are a–holes to their horses. But you have to basically tell that thing who’s boss, and I didn’t want to do that. I was like, ‘No, do your thing. I don’t even want to be up here.’”

On home schooling and, you know, bleeping life: ““Because I didn’t go to bleeping school, I feel I would have had a bit something extra if I had ... Maybe because my life is so perfect, when I see the other side of life, it just seems like, almost like I want … You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to bleeping happen to me. Just life. I want someone to bleep me over! Do you know what I mean?”

On acting with William Hurt: “He was the first guy I ever saw take a script and bleeping turn it on its head. He threw us all up into the air. It was so cool working with him. He is so beat – he’s like, On the Road. Incredibly intense. Dude!”

On the gold ring she wears: “Everyone wants to know. Everyone knows already – it’s ridiculous.”

Mindy Kaling: trailer for her new show

I know we're all very, very tired of the whole kooky, awkward single woman who can't find love even if she's surrounded by smart, single, handsome men ... but it's Mindy Kaling and she's she's kinda awesome and funny. So, let's give it a chance. A small one.

Rihanna has reptile breasts (not really)

RihannaWell, sorta. At least while making the video for "Where have you Been?" It's a look that could catch on. Particularly if you're a woman looking to attract a single, eligible dinosaur with a steady income and a sense of humour, who's looking for a long-term relationship. Via Buzzfeed.

Demi Lovato's salary not up to Britney standards "Demi Lovato is exactly 1/15th the celebrity Britney Spears is ... at least in the salary department. Sources tell TMZ, the 19-year-old singer's raking in just north of a million to join the gang on "X Factor" - still damn impressive, but face it ... she's no Britney. Simon Cowell raved about Demi, praising her accomplishments at such a young age ...  insisting she will connect with younger viewers. As we reported, Britney signed a record $15 million deal to work as a judge on the show -- so Demi's getting table scraps ... but in the TV biz, scraps can make you a millionaire. And just to show how desperately Demi wanted to appease her new "X Factor" overlords - we're told the former Disney star even structured her upcoming tour around the "X Factor" tapings."

Alan Rickman for CBGB movie Coming Soon: "Alan Rickman is set to star in Randall Miller's CBGB, Variety reports. He'll play Hilly Kristal who, for more than three decades, owned and operated the famous New York nightclub until a rent dispute forced the establishment to close in 2006. The real-life Kristal tragically died the following year. Rickman, who last appeared on the big screen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, previously worked with Miller in 2008's Bottle Shock. Miller will again direct with a script written by himself and Jody Savin. The current plan is to begin production next month."

Spawn Us: "Big Bang baby! Simon Helberg and his wife Jocelyn Towne welcomed daughter Adeline on May 8, Helberg's rep confirms to Us Weekly exclusively. This is the first child for The Big Bang Theory star and his actress/writer/director wife. "The family is thrilled," a source says. "Simon is excited to be a father - he's been doing his reading." Helberg, 31, met Towne in Los Angeles, Calif. and they married in 2007."

Pirates coming to TV Coming Soon: "NBC announced Monday the network has picked up the new action-adventure series "Crossbones," about the Golden Age of pirates. The series is from award-winning "Luther" creator Neil Cross, and film producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Gladiator, Men in Black, The Ring) ... from the announcement: "It’s 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder’s paradise, this is a place like no other on earth – and a mounting threat to international commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the pirates’ haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can’t help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds – and no law. But Lowe is not the only danger to Blackbeard’s rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness – a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny."

Fry and Laurie together again Deadline: "Actor, comedian, raconteur and all around renaissance man Stephen Fry posted a tweet on his Twitter account earlier today teasing his followers with news that he and his once and future comedy partner Hugh Laurie are “cooking up a project together. We will be working again soon.” He apologized for having no other details, but said he would offer more when he can. Laurie is just coming off his epic run on Fox’s House ... They starred together in the sketch comedy show A Bit of Fry & Laurie, which ran from 1989 to 1995 at various time on BBC1 and BBC2."
