Ariel Winter: Wanna Bite My Peach?

Ariel Winter doesn’t just use Instagram to share embarrassing throwback photos — Most of the time, the photos that she shares are fresh and gorgeous. Whether she’s hanging out in daisy dukes or wearing a bikini and posing on a pizza , Ariel Winter’s entire Instagram is pretty much one elaborate thirst trap. And she’s just added some more. This time, it takes the form of an Instagram story, a skimpy bikini, and a very appropriate use of the peach emoji. So, given context and Ariel’s “before and after” caption — followed by the peach emoji, it looks like these three photos are a behind-the-scenes look at a photoshoot of hers. In the first photo, Ariel herself is off to the side. (Don’t worry, she’s featured much more prominently later) She’s wearing a super skimpy bikini. Like, the bottom is just an elaborate thong. A friend of hers or member of her entourage leans in to get a picture. (Almost upstaging Ariel with those very deliberate slashes in their own jeans — that’s a good look) Ariel is sitting down, which puts her butt at a great angle to be photographed for maximum flattery … as you’ll see below. But first, Ariel shares this photo of the kind of look that she was serving for this photoshoot. Her body is mind-blowing. Like, we already knew that, but it’s good to be reminded sometimes. We don’t know what kind of filter that pic was using, but the effect gives everything a dreamlike quality. Not like a real dream, but like how dreams look on television. The effect, with the lights reflecting in the water, makes a great backdrop. Ariel Winter’s skin is positively glowing and her hair is catching the light. Even though these are behind-the-scenes shots, she still looks amazing. And yes, it’s definitely Ariel Winter even though we don’t see her face. First of all, this story is on her  Instagram. Second of all, in that pic of her from the front, you can see what is clearly Ariel Winter’s butt tattoo . This one reads: “Love is everything and asks for nothing.” But third of all … remember when we mentioned how appropriate the use of the peach emoji was? Yep. Ariel Winter’s butt is unmistakable. It’s like a fingerprint, but better. The peach emoji, of course, represents butts. Particularly excessively shapely ones — like Ariel’s. Now, look, there is so much more to Ariel Winter than her badonkadonk. She’s a brilliantly well-spoken young woman, she’s courageously overcome so much , and she’s a talented actress. Ariel feels confident in her amazing body and clearly enjoys showing it off, on her terms. She wants people to appreciate how she looks — again, on her terms. We don’t know exactly what photoshoot this is from. We imagine that her face was cropped out of the photos that she shared in order to not spoil the entirety of the photoshoot. In fact, there might even be video taken from that night. We’ll have to keep an eye out on Ariel Winter’s Instagram page and elsewhere to see when the  official photos from that night crop up. Ariel Winter is such a gift. View Slideshow: Ariel Winter Bikini Selfies: Look at My Butt & New Boyfriend!

Kathy Griffin Shaved Her Head: Here’s Why!

Kathy Griffin has been more than a little controversial over the course of her career, but her most recent move has been something that everyone can support. The actress and comedian has shaved her head, for a very meaningful reason. And no, it has nothing to do with Trump. A writer who contributes to multiple news outlets shared a pair of photos of Kathy’s freshly shaved head over Twitter, explaining in the caption: “In solidarity with her sister, who is going through chemo, @kathygriffin shaved her head.” That is so heartbreaking to read about Kathy’s sister, Joyce Griffin. It would be about anyone, of course. But cancer is especially personal to Kathy and her family. Kathy Griffin’s older brother, Gary, died in 2014 after losing his battle with cancer. In the first photo, Kathy poses topless, running a hand across her now bare scalp in wonder at a sensation that people never feel in their lives. In the second photo, we see Kathy’s mother, Maggie Griffin, respond. Kathy Griffin’s mother is nearly as famous as she is, for her role on My Life On The D-List and for Kathy’s stories about her mother shared during stand-up comedy. Maggie is quite a character herself, as you know if you’ve ever heard anything that she’s said. Maggie quoted the tweet and added her own comment: “My daughter Kathleen Mary is a wonderful human being.” Look at how cute Maggie looks in the photo! Of course, Kathy Griffin is still reeling from the overblown backlash over that controversial photo she made with Tyler Shields . You know, the one where she’s holding up “Trump’s head” as if she’s just decapitated him. Like … it was in poor taste, absolutely. And she shouldn’t have done it. But the blowback on it would have been comical if the consequences for it hadn’t been so serious. Kathy Griffin lost multiple jobs over it in the ensuing outrage. Of course, the Trump team capitalized on it immediately, with the orange man himself making the ludicrous claim about his young son, Barron. Barron is arguably the only innocent among the Trump children (like Donald himself, we don’t really want to talk about Tiffany right now). So he was perfect for Trump to point to and say that Barron believed that the photo was real when he saw it. First of all, chances are pretty good that Barron didn’t see it at all. Second of all, Barron is 11, not 4. Pretending that he’d gone into a parent at the thought of his father having been murdered by a comedian that the tween had almost certainly never heard of was nothing short of absurd. But Kathy Griffin shouldn’t have posed for the photo. (She knows that and apologized as soon as it leaked ) If she hadn’t, the Trump team couldn’t have used up to stir up their followers like they did. Brace yourselves, because someone will inevitably call this a “publicity stunt.” They’ll accuse Kathy of doing this to get back into the public’s good graces. She did this because her sister has cancer, you guys. There’s no conspiracy behind it. Just love. And solidarity. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer

Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix: Divorcing!

Casey Affleck has been dogged by sexual harassment allegations for ages, and there’s no telling how much of a toll that’s taken on his marriage. When Casey Affleck and his wife, Summer Phoenix, separated in the spring of 2016, they did so fairly quietly and without the sort of scandal that you expect to see when Afflecks are having marital problems.  Well, this situation is officially past “marital problems” … because Summer Phoenix has filed for divorce. Casey Affleck, who is 41 years old, and Summer Phoenix, who is 38, have two sons together. Children and concerns about their emotional well being and adjustments are a complication in a divorce, even after more than a year of separation. Indiana Affleck is 13 years old. Atticus Affleck is 9 years old. (You remember — the children Casey Affleck famously forgot in his Oscars speech ) Summer Phoenix is Joaquin Phoenix’s sister, by the way — Joaquin originally set the two of them up. Casey Affleck is, of course, Ben Affleck’s (worse) brother. Whatever sense of commonality the two felt as less-famous siblings in famous families clearly wasn’t enough to keep them together forever, though. E! reports that, in her divorce filing, Summer Phoenix cites “irreconcilable differences.” Honestly, it’s technically nobody’s business why people are getting divorced — to the point that it’s weird that couples even have to cite reasons that they’re ending their marriage unless it’s a contentious divorce. That said … “irreconcilable differences’ is vague as hell and could mean just about anything. Like it just means that they couldn’t get along, basically. That’s why people divorce in the first place, folks. But clearly they’re not entirely at odds. Summer Phoenix is seeking joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the boys with Casey Affleck. She is also seeking spousal support. Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix met in 1995 after their more famous siblings had worked together. They were engaged by 2003. It wasn’t until a couple of years after Summer gave birth to Indiana in 2004 that the couple married in May of 2006. They separated just under eight years after marrying. For Hollywood, that’s basically a 20-year marriage. Considering that their relationship began in 1995, they had a lengthy relationship by  any  standards. But even long-lasting relationships where both parties come from similar worlds, share similar values, and take years to get to know one another before getting engaged or married don’t guarantee happily-ever-afters. We can’t help thinking that a factor behind this separation and divorce may have been Casey Affleck’s alleged sexual harassment. The accusations that Casey Affleck used his position as director to sexually harass multiple women working for him got him slammed on Twitter , but  Some of the accusations just sound like poor judgment — allegedly, Casey instructed one man working for him to show his penis to a woman who was working for him. Definitely inappropriate and definitely poor judgment, but when we’re talking about directors and sex crime accusations, that’s a far cry from Woody Allen. Some of the accusations were more serious, including allegations of him grabbing one in an effort to intimidate her into having sex with him in a hotel room. If someone feels that “no” isn’t a safe answer, then they cannot consent. Obviously. Even if Summer Phoenix heard these stories and thought to herself that all of these women were conspiring together to lie just for the fun of it, that Casey had just been innocently flirting with them … well, it wouldn’t seem innocent to Summer, his wife. And if Summer heard these allegations and thought “oh no, what sort of man have I married?!” Well, divorce sounds like exactly the right response to that. But, for all that we know, their divorce has been a long time coming. Sometimes couples just grow apart. View Slideshow: 27 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces

Casey Affleck Calls Trump’s Policies “Abhorrent” And “Un-American” During Spirit Awards Acceptance Speech [VIDEO]

Casey Affleck Slams Trump Policies We’ve been really trying to avoid feeling any type of positive vibes for Casey Affleck for a number of reasons, one of them being that he’s a relative of Ben Affleck’s who definitely reaps plenty of the nepotistic benefits of being Ben’s little brother, another being that he’s pretty much the only thing standing in the way of Denzel getting a Best Actor Oscar tonight for “Fences” and the last being that he hasn’t been half as clumsy as Nate Parker when maneuvering around questions about his shady past which includes sexual assault allegations, but clearly the guy is trying to redeem himself and after the speech he gave at the Independent Spirit Awards Saturday night we may even have to watch ‘Manchester By The Sea’ finally. After all — besides slamming Donald Trump’s policies for being un-American he also quoted our director homie Ezra Edelman’s mom — Marian Wright Edelman, who is a national treasure and an absolute HERO of a black woman (she founded the Children’s Defense Fund). Edelman last week penned a beautiful op-ed for the Huffington Post which discussed how the family of Frederick Douglass stepped up following President Trump’s Black History Month breakfast blunder to remind the country of his legacy. In that piece, Edelman called this a “time to struggle for the future of the soul of our nation.” “I know this feels preachy and boring and I’m preaching to the choir but I’m just lending my little voice to the chorus here,” Affleck added. “And saying that all of you, [if] you are struggling, you’re doing it so, so well and speaking up and I’m really proud to be a part of this community for that reason.” Clap for him?

Carrie Fisher: Buried in Prozac Pill-Shaped Urn

Carrie Fisher was laid to rest on Friday afternoon. As previously reported, the iconic actress shared the sad occasion of her funeral with Debbie Reynolds, Fisher’s beloved and famous mother who incredibly passed away just a day after her daughter. The Star Wars favorite died on December 27, from complications related to a heart attack; while Reynolds died on December 28, from complications related to a stroke. The joint funeral was held in Los Angeles. View Slideshow: Carrie Fisher: Mourned, Honored by Hollywood What no one knew headed into it, however, was how Fisher’s family had chosen for Carrie spend all of eternity. She was cremated… and her ashes were placed in a gigantic Prozac-pill urn. For real! “It was a porcelain antique Prozac pill from the ’50s that was one of Carrie’s prized possessions,” Todd, Fisher’s brother, explained The Hollywood Reporter. Leave it to Fisher to keep us cracking up, even in death. The actress, of course, was very open throughout her adult life regarding her mental illness. She suffered from anxiety and Bipolar Disorder and was never seen without her therapy dog, Gary, by her side. Todd Fisher spoke to reporters moments after the funeral in Los Angeles yesterday, which took place one day after his sister’s private memorial . He went into further depth at the time regarding the unusual urn selection. “We couldn’t find anything appropriate. Carrie would like that,” he said of the choice, adding again of the antique pill box: “It was her favorite thing, and so that’s how you do it. And so they’re together, and they will be together here and in heaven, and we’re OK with that.” Fisher died at age 60 and Reynolds at age 84. Todd also said that Carrie’s daughter, Billie Lourd, as on board with the urn. As for everyone else in the family? “Everybody’s as settled as we can be, and we’re not going to go any further,” he shared. “We’ll have a bigger service down the road for the public and all the family friends, but this was a private family service and we’re – it was fitting and it was beautiful.” View Slideshow: Debbie Reynolds: Mourned, Honored by Hollywood Continued Todd Fisher: “We have so much of them that was left behind. All of my sister’s words and all the movies, and all the things that they created. That’s what we need to remember.” And just like Fisher’s fans, who can sit back and at least watch her work at any time, Todd has ways he can remember his loved ones. “They were both Molly Browns of sorts,” he said fondly, expounding: “Molly Brown’s a movie my mom made years ago and it’s about a very strong woman. They were very, very strong women right to the end.” That’s for sure. We miss them. But we know they are together and happy in heaven.

Golden Globes 2017: Who Should Win?

The 74th annual Golden Globe Awards will broadcast by NBC Sunday, January 8. There are a lot of different awards up for grabs, but who will emerge victorious in the race for the most awards? We have some predictions for you.  Scroll down to find out who we think should win.  1. Drama Series Despite what some may say, there is still no other show on TV quite like Game of Thrones. The sheer scale and writing is on another level from the other shows in the category. With some tweaks, Westworld could get there. This Is Us will win because it’s the only show on the list about family values, but Game of Thrones should win. 2. Drama Series – Actor Rami Malek is without a doubt the best actor in this category. Despite a creative nosedive for Mr. Robot in Season 2, Rami Malek turned in an other outstanding performance as Elliot Alderson. Then again, Matthew Rhys has been turning in solid performances on The Americans for four seasons. Rhys will eke out the win over the others in the category, but Malek should win. 3. Drama Series – Actress Westworld shocked us all with a solid first season that made us question the world around us. Part of that was Evan Rachel Wood’s convincing portrayal of Dolores. Considering the acclaim the series has acieved – particularly for Wood’s performance, she should and will win it. 4. Comedy or Musical Series Donald Glover’s Atlanta has been a hit with critics and viewers. It should and will secure the win over Veep and Mozart in the Jungle. 5. Comedy or Musical – Actress Sarah Jessica Parker will do battle with the likes of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gina Rodriguez and Rachel Bloom. There’s no denying that she deserves the win. After years away from a hit show, her acting chops are still there. She should and will win. 6. Comedy or Musical – Actor The writing on Atlanta was just the tip of the iceberg. Donald Glover’s performance as Earnest Marks struck a chord with viewers. So much so that he should and will take the win over Nick Nolte, Jefrey Tambor, Anthony Anderson and Gael Garcia Bernal.
