Ready for your first look at Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong ? The first trailer for The Program has hit the Internet, as this biopic tells the story of the “lie that shocked the world.” It features Foster as Armstrong, the disgraced seven-time Tour de France champion and famous cancer survivor who denied (vehemently) for years that he used performance-enhancing drugs. Until finally coming clean in 2013 via an interview with Oprah. Chris O’Dowd takes on the role of journalist David Walsh, a skeptic about Armstrong from the very beginning who bellows at one point in the trailer: “He meets the President, he gets more sponsors, more money, more fame… The man is cheat!” The Program also stars Lee Pace, Jesse Plemons, Guillaume Canet and Dustin Hoffman. Check out the trailer now.
The picture of a police officer in Kansas acting as an especially good Samaritan has gone viral. Featured below, the image was snapped in a mall in Overland Park last month. It depicts Andy Black, a 27-year veteran of the force, feeding a baby whose mother just suffered a seizure. Black was working his off-duty job when he got a call about a women who fell. He rushed to the scene and saw the lady was “disoriented and shaking” while recovering from a seizure… yet still trying to pick up her daughter. So Black, who has four kids and 14 grandchildren, asked if he could be of assistance. “She let me have the baby with her bottle and the baby was crying and I gave her the bottle,” he said. “And somebody took a picture.” A local artist named Jilli Nel was standing nearby and took the photo. “The two of them looked as if they were in their own world as she stared into his eyes and he just spoke to her while feeding,” she told ABC News . “As a mother I felt the pull on my heart seeing such a beautiful moment and I asked him if I may take his photo.” Black adds he and other first responders helped escort the woman to an ambulance; by that time, the baby’s grateful father had arrived to take the child. “I think this touches the hearts of people,” Black said, trying to comprehend why the photo has grown so popular. “It has gotten so big and I’m like, really, this is not a big deal.” Perhaps that helps explain exactly why it’s so popular: Black simply did what came naturally, and that was to help his fellow human being.

One of the biggest flops in the history of American beverages may be making its way back to your local supermarket. And we couldn’t be more excited! Crystal Pepsi Commercial Kevin Strahle, a YouTube user who went viral in 2013 for posting a video of him downing a 20-year old bottle of Crystal Pepsi, has been hard at work to get the drink back on shelves across the country. He and other enthusiasts have signed a Change.org petition… created a Facebook page… emailed the soda company’s CEO… and even put up billboards promoting their #BringBackCrystalPepsi campaign. Might all this effort actually soon pay off?!? This week, the group was rewarded with a letter from Pepsi, which Strahle tweeted on June 8 and which reads in part: “Your love for Pepsi is clear – crystal clear. The passion you’ve shown for Crystal Pepsi is unmatched, and we love it!” The message concluded: “We definitely hear you and your followers and we think you’ll all be happy with what’s in store.” Pepsi has since confirmed to NBC News that the letter is real, saying: “We take customer feedback very seriously and we do think Crystal Pepsi fans will be happy with what we have planned.” Between this and Bud Light apologizing for sounding pro-rape , maybe beverage companies really do listen to their customers.

Molly Schuyler went to WORK Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. By DEVOURING an eye-popping 363 chicken wings in a HALF HOUR, the 5-foot-7, 125-pound mother of four set a new record at Wing Bowl 22. The previous record was held by Takeru Kobayashi, who ate 337 in 2012. Schuyler, from Omaha, Neb., didn’t exactly cruise to the crown, narrowly edging Patrick Bertoletti, whose 356 wings mark the second most consumed. Jamie “The Bear” Anderson, last year’s champion, was third with 304. For the gutsy effort that may or may not entail puking her guts out later, Molly Schuyler won the $22,000 top prize, a gold medal and a championship ring. “I have car payments and kids, so it’s all good,” Schuyler said. Kids that could’ve eaten for a week with 363 wings. Molly Schuyler DESTROYS Steak She is no stranger to elite competition of this gluttonous nature. To qualify for the Wing Bowl, Schuyler ate nine pounds of cottage cheese in 114 seconds, which may or may not be the most disgusting feat ever. Molly also shattered another world record recently, Hoovering a 72-ounce steak in three minutes (above), a feat which is only slightly less disgusting. We’ve love to see her take on ridiculous quantities of these: 9 Totally Disgusting Food Items Open Slideshow 1.
