Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos: It’s Over!

In news that would’ve led to more gasping and squealing if this were 2011, Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos have parted ways after a year of dating. The Twilight hunk is back on the market , ladies and gentlemen. The now-ex-couple started dating in the summer of 2013. Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos play love interests in the movie Tracers , due to be released in March of this year. That’s not awkward at all. The pair never spoke publicly about their romance, and kept it very private, but were photographed together on numerous occasions while they were dating. A celebrity gossip source says that the split was entirely amicable, and that the actor is currently dating again, but is not in any exclusive relationship. Lautner previously dated Lily Collins, who he met on the set of his 2011 movie Abduction , and Taylor Swift , who he worked with on Valentine’s Day in 2010. Here’s wishing them the best, along with these other stars who have already parted ways with their partners in the first half of the first month of the year: Celebrity Breakups of 2015 1.

New Year’s "Possum Drop" to Continue in N.C., But No Longer With Live Animal

The tiny North Carolina community of Brasstown will continue its tradition of ringing in New Year’s Eve with a “Possum Drop,” but will no longer use a live opossum. Yes. This is an actual thing they do there, and there has been a court battle raging for years between the organizers of the Brasstown Possum Drop and PETA. The group will still be lowering a plexiglass box from a pole at Clay’s Corner Convenience Store with an animal inside, though the bonanza will be modified. Long story short: No live opossum to ring in 2015. “We’ll probably just lower some other form of opossum , a dead possum, road kill maybe, or possum stew,” festival organizer Clay Logan told the Wall Street Journal . Logan, added, “It is the Possum Drop after all.” Truer words have never been spoken. Last year, festival organizers had a live possum on the ground and its likeness suspended in the air, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy PETA critics. The animal rights group argued that the brass band and fireworks historically accompanying the countdown at the event were harmful to the critter, as well. In 2013, the state passed a new law, the Opossum Right to Work Act (seriously) but earlier this year, the Clay County Opossum Exclusion passed. That legislation granted an exception allowing for Clay’s Corner Convenience Store to drop the animal between December 26 and January 2 of each year. Glad to see North Carolina lawmakers are hard at work. PETA is fighting that exception as well, fearing “a zone of lawlessness” allowing those in Clay County to treat any opossum in any manner they chose for that week. A North Carolina senior administrative law judge said there is no need, however, because Logan has already promised in writing not to use a live possum. In the spirit of compromise, PETA said Monday it would be okay with the use of a previously killed opossum, such as roadkill, which is readily available.

Deer Plays Dead, Scares CRAP Out of Hunter

This hunter was sure that he had just killed a deer recently. He couldn’t be more wrong. It couldn’t be more funny. Deer Scares the Crap Out of Hunter When the above clip begins, the hunter believes the deer he had just shot at has been hit and killed, seeing its body laying motionless on the ground. He approaches with caution, but certain of success. Then all of a sudden, when he’s standing just a few feet away, the animal leaps into the air and bolts, taking off running full speed in the other direction. You need to see it for yourself to fully appreciate it. For more great animal moments, most of which don’t even involve an animal playing dead (but you never know!) … just scroll through the video gallery below: 35 Awesome Animal Videos 1. Penguins Continually Tumble Over Rope These penguins are trying really hard to walk over this rope. But, hilariously, none can do so.

Ferret Attempts to Jumps from Table to Ironing Board, Fails Miserably

Earlier this week, we posted a video of a cat trying to jump from the roof of one vehicle through the (closed) window of another vehicle. Needless to say, it did not go well for the feline . But at least that animal actually made it to his destination. The following footage features a ferret (who is wearing a glow-in-the-dark piece of jewelry and apparently hanging out at a home rave) who really wants to leap from the table to the ironing board. He readies himself. He bends his legs a few times. And then he doesn’t come anywhere close to accomplish his goal. Ferret Jump FAIL! SPLAT! Don’t worry, though: we’ve learned the ferret escaped this mishap unharmed. So it’s okay to laugh – and also to wonder: Is this now the worst animal jump on record? Or does the cat who crashed down his car and into the garage still hold that title? At least both animals can take comfort in the fact that they aren’t alone. Plenty of pets often fail at life, as documented here: 24 Times Dogs Have Hilariously Failed at Life 1. Here I come, couch! Did someone move these pieces of furniture farther apart when I was asleep?!?

Taylor Swift Talks Harry Styles Breakup, Continues to be Awesome

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift invited some fans to her home in NYC where they got to be the first to hear her forthcoming album, 1989. Taylor told her lucky guests that they were allowed to talk to the press about any part of the evening, as long as they didn’t reveal any of the song titles or lyrics. So we get to live vicariously through their stories and pretend that we partied with Swifty ourselves. Based on what the attendees have said so far, it turns out  – to the surprise of no one  – that Taylor is the perfect host. Apparently, one highlight of the evening was when conversation turned to the brief period when Taylor dated Harry Styles . Rather than shy away from the topic, Swift summed up the short-lived relationship in epic fashion: “She described it like trying to build a fire from two twigs,” said one guest. “And everyone is yelling at the fire, ‘I hate your fire,’ and blowing out the sparks.” Wow. Taylor’s metaphor game is on point. We knew from the “Shake It Off” video that Taylor has a sharp, self-deprecating sense of humor. And we knew that she likes to talk about her relationships based on…well, just about every song she’s ever written. What we didn’t know is that when she combines the two, it’s comedy gold! We see a future in standup if this whole music thing doesn’t work out! 27 Taylor Swift Dancing Gifs from “Shake It Off” 1. Bring It On What do you have to say about cheerleaders NOW, Taylor?

Herd of Deer Crash Amazing Wedding Photo: See It Here!

Okay, maybe this is the coolest wedding photo of all-time. We previously gave that honor to this wave-crashing image . And we also considered it for this amazing look at a bride and groom posing in front of a tornado . But now a photo of Erick and Lauren Fix on their big day has been posted to Reddit, and it features the newlyweds standing in front of a herd of adorable, slightly frightened deer. Fix tells ABC that the nuptials took place on the farm of a family friend, a locale that often has a herd of wild deer roaming all about. These animals are apparently accustomed to being fed at the same time every night and head there naturally on their own… so when they showed up during the reception dinner, photographer Ian Christmann pulled the couple away. “They were really jittery and then at one moment they all just looked up,” Christmann said of capturing the above snapshot. “They had a really funny expression on their faces.” This is definitely a winner. If only we could see it in GIF form, though… 11 Beautiful Wedding Photo GIFs 1. The Perfect Peck

Kim Kardashian Forces Fan to Delete "Revealing" Photos

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are in Australia at the moment, and they made an appearance last night at a Yeezus pop-up store in Melbourne. As you might expect,  Kim’s cleavage was on full display and fans wanted to take photos with the world’s most famous sex tape reality star. What you might not have expected, however, is Kim getting suddenly shy and trying to make a fan delete a photo because it was “too revealing.” Yes, Kim posed nude for GQ just last week, but apparently she felt that the outfit she’s wearing in the photo above was just too much for the Internet to handle. According to a fan and amateur photographer identified only as Daniel, Kim approached him after he took snapped some pics and asked to see them: “Would you mind if I quickly looked at it, just if it’s going on  Instagram  I want to make sure that nothing is too revealing.” Daniel said, “Once she found out I wanted to put one on  Instagram , she just wanted to make sure that it was appropriate.” Then Kim reportedly pointed out photos that she didn’t like and asked him to delete them. We don’t know for sure if he complied, but he definitely did not post the pics to Instagram. Of course, we can still see the outfit that Kim wore last night in the photo Daniel did post. Does she really expect us to believe that she was just showing too much skin and wasn’t comfortable being so exposed on the Internet? Has she seen the Kim Kardashian sex tape ? There’s really nothing left to hide. Kim Kardashian Nude Photos 1. Kim Kardashian Nude Image Kim Kardashian is totally naked once again. This is a photo from British GQ. Stare for as long as you’d like, fellas. (And, heck, ladies, too!)
