Taylor Swift Twitter Messages Allegedly Leaked: Who’s the Singer’s Famous Poker Buddy?

Earlier today, we reported that hackers were threatening to release nude Taylor Swift photos obtained by breaking into the singer’s Twitter and Instagram accounts. It now looks as though the crisis has been averted, as crack social media security teams immediately got the situation under control, locking Taylor’s account and reportedly tracking down the parties responsible. Considering the fallout from The Fappening  and the Sony hacking scandal, Taylor was pretty fortunate in this case. But that doesn’t mean she’s emerged from the scandal entirely unscathed. Screen shots of Twitter direct messages that were allegedly taken from Taylor’s inbox have been making the rounds online, and they’re every bit as harmlessly goofy-cute as you would expect: Yes, it seems that Swifty likes to play poker (or Go Fish, who knows with her?) with none other than former Disney boy-bander Nick Jonas.  It’s an interesting development (thus far, the only interesting development to come out of this scandal), as Swift dated Joe Jonas (Nick’s older brother and former bandmate) early in her career. In fact, Joe was the first ex to inspire one of the classic breakup anthems that helped launch Swifty’s career, so perhaps it’s not surprising that she’s still tight with his family. Hey, Taylor hung with Harry Styles last week; she’s clearly not the type to hold grudges. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to find out that she gets together with the boys of 1D for epic all-night games of Risk. Please let that be true. 11 Fun Facts About Taylor Swift! 1. Her First Job Was Knocking Bugs Out of Christmas Trees We’re guessing she prefers singing.

Benedict Cumberbatch Apologizes for Use of Racist Term: I’m an Idiot…

Benedict Cumberbatch is both very sorry and very embarrassed. Last week, the Oscar-nominated star was discussing the state of African-American actors in Great Britain with Tavis Smiley when he remarked: “As far as colored actors go, it gets really difficult in the U.K..” referring to the success of those such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Oyelowo in 12 Years a Slave and Selma, respectively.   While Cumberbatch may have had his heart in the right place, he was subsequently criticized for using such an outdated term, prompting an apology from the man behind Sherlock. “I’m devastated to have caused offense by using this outmoded terminology,” he said. “I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done. I can only hope this incident will highlight the need for correct usage of terminology that is accurate and inoffensive.” The Imitation Game star concluded: “The most shaming aspect of this for me is that I was talking about racial inequality in the performing arts in the U.K. and the need for rapid improvements in our industry when I used the term.” What do you think, fans? Should all be forgiven now? Debut Roles of 2015 Oscar Nominees 1. Benedict Cumberbatch It’s raining in London in this photograph. But beloved star Benedict Cumberbatch has found a way to keep dry.

Marshawn Lynch at Super Bowl Media Day: I’m Just Here So I Don’t Get Fined

Considering the way Tom Brady’s balls  have dominated the news cycle for the past week, you may have forgotten that there’s a football game to be played on Sunday.  #DeflateGate has served as evidence of just how weird our nation’s press coverage can get (particularly when you throw the Internet  into the mix).  Marshawn Lynch’s begrudging appearance at Super Bowl media day today served as yet another reminder that pro athletes and sports reporters are locked in a dead-heat to see who can be the most ridiculous. If you’re not familiar with Lynch, he’s a beast of a running back, but kind of a jackass as a human being. His history of bad behavior dates back to when Lynch ran a woman over and fled the scene during his time with the Buffalo Bills. Five years later, Lynch’s behavior is much less harmful, but no less idiotic. Already in hot water with the NFL for his refusal to speak to the media and his fondness for making “obscene gestures” on the field, Lynch was reportedly threatened with $500,000 fine if he didn’t show up to today’s press event. So he showed up. And proceeded to give the exact same answer 25 times: Marshawn Lynch: “I’m Just Here So I Won’t Get Fined” “I’m just here so I don’t get fined,” Lynch warned the reporters on hand. “So y’all can sit here and ask me all the questions y’all want to. I’m gonna answer with the same answer.” He wasn’t kidding. Beast Mode proceeded to say, “I’m here so I won’t get fined,” in response to every single question. Some members of the press expressed their frustration on Twitter, but really – weren’t they kinda playing ball by continuing to ask him questions? Say what you will about Lynch, if it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have this nugget of YouTube gold: Marshawn Lynch: Hold My D! Sadly, he won’t be remembered as the source of the most epic Super Bowl XLIX quotes. Take it away, Tom: Tom Brady Defends Use of Balls 1. Don’t rub my balls! Leave that to me, please.

GoDaddy Super Bowl Commercial Sparks Outrage: Find Out Why

Were you offended by GoDaddy Super Bowl commercials of the past? The ones where Danica Patrick and other women pretty much just flaunt their hotness the entire time?  Well… you ain’t seen anything ridiculously appalling yet! GoDaddy Super Bowl Ad The website-based company has unveiled its latest Super Bowl ad and it’s clearly a take on last year’s Bud Light puppy commercial . A really terrible take, that is. The spot features a young dog falling off the back of a truck and then making a long, difficult journey back home. Once the owners see that he’s made his way back, they are overjoyed with relief…because they just sold him online using a GoDaddy powered website. Seriously! In response to the commercial – which is cruel, unfunny and makes a mockery out of actual puppy mills – a petition has gone up on Change.org to have the video pulled. It reads: “Whether or not this was meant to be satirical, it’s offensive. Essentially, Go Daddy is encouraging private breeding/puppy mills while shelter animals wait patiently for their forever homes or worse – to be euthanized. They are also encouraging purchasing an animal online; the animal could be sold to someone who runs a fighting ring, someone who abuses animals, or to someone who cannot adequately care for the animal. Animal rights are no laughing matter and to portray them as such is cruel and irresponsible. Among other Super Bowl ads that have been released early, one features Kim Kardashian and another features Charlotte McKinney . 31 Crazy Commercials We Love (or Love to Hate, or Just Hate) 1. Kate Upton Hot Pockets Commercial Hot Pockets are the perfect snack. Even Kate Upton knows that! Check out this awesome commercial starring her, Snoop Dogg, Larry King, and Bow Wow.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner Bounce in Bras, Promote Beats By Dre

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are among the celebrities promoting Beats By Dre headphones in a new ad campaign, and boy, did they make their presence felt. Bouncing around the room in their bras. In slow motion. Kendall and Kylie Jenner Beats By Dre Ad Let’s repeat that again, because it bears repeating: This ad, titled #SoloSelfie, features Kendall and Kylie Jenner hopping around in bra tops and posing for the camera. Oh, and rocking Beats By Dre. If Dr. Dre’s company wanted to generate some serious viral buzz by enlisting the jail bait contingent of the Kardashian crew, well, then mission accomplished. The only issue? Kylie and Kendall appear at the very beginning, so once you’ve see the part with them, you can either turn it off or restart the video. Should’ve put ’em at the end, Dre. Just sayin’. This is the week for Kendall Jenner in lingerie , in any case. We already saw her pose in some seriously sexy underwear to promote LOVE magazine. That was … well, you gotta see that photo. She also released Mean Girls -inspired Burn Book video last week that called out some of the critics who questioned Kendall’s burgeoning modeling career. A career that has already become more successful, and more quickly than most of us – even Kendall fans and supporters – would have imagined.  Then again, with photos like this … how could she not be the next fashion “it” girl? Scroll through the gallery below for a few more dozen examples … 35 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner 1. Kendall Jenner: Naked and Smoking Kendall Jenner is smoking in this picture. In more ways than one! She was 18 years old at the time it was taken.

David Duchovny understands why people are bothered by his new commercial.

David Duchovny Russian Beer Ad “I am proud of my Russian, Ukrainian, Scottish and Polish heritage as I am proud of my American heritage,” Duchovny says. “But being proud of one’s ancestry is not a political statement on any current government or public policies.” He adds: “In retrospect, and in light of recent tragic events, I can now see the potential for misunderstanding and hope people will understand.” What do you think of Duchovny’s comments and commercial?

Jill Duggar: I Love Married Life!!!!!

Jill Duggar is loving married life with new husband Derick Dillard. Big surprise, we know. They’ve been shouting their love from the rooftops from day one. The 19 Kids and Counting lovebirds, who initially began courting online after being set up by her father Jim Bob, tied the knot last month in a magical ceremony. They’ve since returned from their honeymoon and are very pleased with married life, sharing nauseatingly cute photos of themselves constantly. While undeniably thrilled for Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard , this is bittersweet in a sense for her parents, as their brood is finally starting to grow up. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar will still see the newlyweds on a regular basis, but they are clearly establishing a family of their own, which is healthy. By all accounts, they’re thriving, and it’s hard to criticize the duo for oversharing on social media when it all stems from such genuine happiness. As far as their future on 19 Kids And Counting goes, Jill recently shared a pic of Derick conducting interviews for the show, so they’ll be on it. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Honeymoon Photos! 1. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Instagram Photo Jill posted this photo of herself and Derick on Instagram. Are they building a following for a reality show? In addition, “There is huge interest in this couple” for a spinoff series, according to a TLC insider. “They are the anti-Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.” That they are, in so many different respects. Adds the network source: “Expect at least a spinoff special to be announced very soon.” Future episodes/seasons/shows will likely focus on their married life, which, as Jill informs her Twitter followers quite often, is incredibly fulfilling. In a recent post celebrating the Duggars’ 30th wedding anniversary , Jill explained, “Derick and I share the joy as we celebrate our first 30 days together.” One day, they hope to look back on three decades of joy, wonderment and likely A LOT of kids. For now, “we look forward to our next 30+ years!” No word on whether she’s pregnant yet. Give it a few weeks. Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Photos: True Love Timeline 1. Their First Meeting (Sort Of)! The Arkansas natives grew up within 45 minutes of each other, but didn’t meet until late 2011. Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, “Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal.”
