The Japanese have made a number of bizarre, occasionally frightening contributions to our popular culture: Pokemon, Hello Kitty, Super Mario Brothers 2… But now a Tokyo-based designer named Horestu Sato has created something that will make those terrifying black plague gas mask things that Mario threw radishes at look downright boring. (Seriously, WTF was up with that game?) At this point, it’s our medical duty to insist that if you’re currently under the influence of hallucinogens, you close out this post immediately, and do not click through the gallery below. Go look at dogs dressed like Game of Thrones characters or something, instead. For the rest of you, behold: The World’s Creepiest Cat Mask : View Slideshow: Cat Mask Photos: Prepare to be Terrified! The bad news is, the mask is currently just an art piece, and is not yet for sale. The good news is, you won’t be responsible for any major coronary events when you jump out at your family and friends with that monstrosity on your head. Sato says if there’s enough interest in the mask, he might mass produce them and sell them online. It could be a mighty lucrative enterprise. After all, the Internet loves cats, and when you love something, it’s only natural to want to wear its flesh as your own. Oh, sorry, that’s only if you’re Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. We get him mixed up with sane human beings all the time. Check out some adorable photos of cats napping to help push the sight of all those feline-human hybrids from your brain: View Slideshow: 9 Cats Who Have Perfected the Art of Napping
Adam Lind and his awesome track record – DUIs, car crashes, restraining orders and two baby mamas – weren’t single and ready to mingle for long. The Teen Mom 2 tormentor and father of two already has a new girlfriend in Danielle Anderson, a 26-year-old South Dakota with two kids of her own! Anderson says she Lind, the father of Teen Mom 2 star Chelsea Houska’s 5-year-old daughter Aubree, in March 2014, after she’d separated from her husband. The two started a friendship, and the rest is (head-scratching) history. “People don’t see what I see,” Danielle Anderson tells Radar . “I see him as a person who is ready to settle down.” “I was going through a lot of marital problems, and I turned to Adam. [He opened up] about what’s going on in his own life, which I could relate to. We just clicked.” Months later, the platonic relationship became physical. After a brief period in which Adam Lind was single , the got together last month as a couple. It’s already serious, too. When her 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son finish school in June, Anderson plans to move in with Lind in Sioux Falls. “We are making sure we have a plan for everything,” she says of Chelsea Houska ‘s ex. “He wants that family life. That’s what I think he sees in me.” And not what he saw in his previous two baby mamas, apparently. In addition to squaring off with Houska, 23, over custody of daughter Aubree, he’s fighting Taylor Halbur, 25, over child support for their daughter Paislee, 18 months. Then there’s Jessica Nicole , 33, who filed for a restraining order against him, claiming he assaulted her and threatened her life (and cheated on her). “People make mistakes,” Anderson says of her class act beau. “He has changed a lot. He’s been sober for two years, he has a full time job and a certificate for personal training. He wants to build a business.” “We want our kids to know what it’s like to have a family.” We’ll believe it when we see it from Lind. View Slideshow: Chelsea Houska Photos: Hottest Teen Mom Ever?
Mumford & Sons are not thrilled with music service Tidal and the artists who’ve signed on with them. They offered up a strong opinion regarding Tidal’s subscription based music streaming service . In an interview with The Daily Beast, the UK folk band didn’t hold back when Tidal came up in the conversation. Interviewer Marlow Stern described how the subject of Tidal was “greeted by a series of loud fart sounds.” The music streaming service, costing $9.99-$19.99, has the involvement of many high profile musical figures, including Jay Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Madonna, Jason Aldean, Alicia Keys, Jack White, Daft Punk, and Kanye West. Marcus Mumford explained the group’s disdain for Tidal: “We wouldn’t have joined it anyway, even if they had asked. We don’t want to be tribal. I think smaller bands should get paid more for it, too. Bigger bands have other ways of making money, so I don’t think you can complain. A band of our size shouldn’t be complaining. And when they say it’s artist-owned, it’s owned by those rich, wealthy artists.” Mumford & Sons guitarist Winston Marshall was a bit more direct with his words calling the artists involved “new school fucking plutocrats.” He also wanted to be clear that although they don’t like Tidal, they aren’t taking the same stance as Taylor Swift took against Spotify : “We don’t want to be part of some Tidal ‘streaming revolution’ nor do we want to be Taylor Swift and be anti-it.” “I don’t understand her argument, either. The focus is slightly missed. Music is changing. It’s fucking changing. This is how people are going to listen to music now – streaming. So diversify as a band. It doesn’t mean selling your songs to adverts. We look at our albums as stand-alone pieces of art, and also as adverts for our live shows.” Mumford chimed in again, saying: “What I’m not into is the tribalistic aspect of it – people trying to corner bits of the market, and put their face on it. That’s just commercial bullshit. We hire people to do that for us rather than having to do that ourselves. We just want to play music, and I don’t want to align myself with Spotify, Beats, Tidal, or whatever. “We want people to listen to our music in their most comfortable way, and if they’re not up for paying for it, I don’t really care.” View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming
If you’ve ever been to Kylie Jenner’s Instagram page, then you know the girl is not exactly shy about showing off her assets. Kylie’s racy selfies are grade-A jailbait and her 25-year-old boyfriend Tyga has swallowed the hook. Generally, she plays dumb and pretends she just wants to show off her latest hair extensions or her giant lips, and the cleavage is just incidental. But today, Kylie isn’t playing around. She posted this pic about an hour ago and didn’t even bother with a caption: Boom. Kylie’s last name might be Jenner, but she’s clearly rocking a Kardashi-ass. Naturally, the photo sparked a new round of Kylie butt implant rumors but we think this is just a case of genetics finally taking hold. When LeBron’s kid started dominating on the basketball court, no one cried steroids. In the same way, Kylie should be allowed to claim her title as an Internet Booty Queen without people accusing her of stuffing basketball halves up her dress. Besides, it’s Khloe’s butt that seems to double in size like the Grinch’s heart every time you look at it. Let’s all agree to stick with accusing her of butt implants, mmm-kay? Look, there are a lot of Kardashians and too many cosmetic procedures. Rather than accusing all of them of getting everything done let’s just keep it simple: Kylie=Lips; Khloe=Butt; Kim=Unibrow; Kourtney=Episiotomy; Kendall=We’re not really sure. Leg extensions? We’ll think of something. View Slideshow: 51 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kylie Jenner

One Direction has officially moved on from Zayn Malik. Granted, Zayn Malik quit the group a couple weeks ago, prompting outrage, shock and general sadness from millions of young women around the globe. But the boy band has only just now released its brand new poster for its On the Road Again; it’s an image that features One Direction as a quartet for the first time… ever It gets a tad easier to forget that Malik is gone when you’re staring at the handsome faces of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, huh? “It’s been a tough few weeks, probably the toughest since the band was formed five years ago,” Payne told The Sun last week. “We’re gutted that Zayn chose to leave , but now after a few performances as a four piece, we’re feeling confident and are determined to carry on stronger than ever.” The group will also be releasing its fifth studio album in the near future, with Tomlinson promising fans that 1D is “going to work harder than ever to deliver the best album we’ve ever made for you guys!” Last night, producer Simon Cowell (who discovered One Direction on Britain’s Got Talent) said Malik has to get “his head together a bit,” while also promising that his former colleagues will keep working together “for a long time.” View Slideshow: Zayn Malik Quits One Direction: The Funniest Web Reactions
Kim Kardashian has shared a new family photo from her ongoing trip to Armenia . The reality star is on vacation in her ancestral country ahead of the 100th anniversary of the genocide executed by the Ottoman Turks of more than 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1923. She most recently spent time there with husband Kanye and daughter North, exploring a monastery and marveling over a bright orb-like mass in the center of a stone church “Blessed,” Kim simply wrote as a caption to the following image. On Thursday, Kim, Khloe Kardashian and their two cousins Kara and Kourti (really, they have two cousins named Kara and Kourti) met with Armenia’s Prime Minister . Wrote Kardashian of the sit-down: “It was an honor to meet the Prime Minister of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan who expressed how proud they are that we are proud Armenians and we have not forgotten our roots! #NeverForget.” The relatives later stopped for pictures at the Mother Armenia statue. “This statue reminds visitors of the strong female figures in Armenian history. I love how powerful women are and respected so much in our culture,” Kim Tweeted of the monument. The Kardashians have vowed to continue spreading awareness about the genocide long after their trip concludes, which we can only presume Kim plans on doing by snapping selfies of her large boobs a lot.
