Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Let’s Take A Walk Down Meme-ory Lane For Chris Evans’ 38th Birthday Chris Evans made his way into our hearts by playing the role of Captain America, but over the past couple years, he’s transformed into an outspoken activist on Twitter that people love–but ever more-so, they love to make him into a meme. If you’ve somehow made your way through the Twitterverse without seeing any of these memes, you’re not following the right people. Photos of Chris along with some of our other favorite Avengers–including Robert Downey Jr. , Tom Holland , Michael B. Jordan , and Tom Hiddleston –were made into the perfect reaction pictures by giving them a set of acrylics and as you might be able to imagine from that description alone, the result is absolutely hilarious. A thread of all the Chris Evans Acrylic memes I’ve come across pic.twitter.com/ZIApI8wAjg — Ash Happy Pride! (@spacegirlapollo) June 1, 2019 This all started when an old video of Chris Evans saying, “I’m Captain America, Period” resurfaced from an interview when he was promoting Civil War back in 2016. Obviously, this was before The City Girls’ iconic “PERIODT” was a thing, but naturally, everyone ran with it and decided to make Chris Evans a City Girl. “I'm Captain America. Period. The end.” pic.twitter.com/r67AHe6da3 — ' (@caprogers1940) December 5, 2018 Like I mentioned before, Chris has become pretty active on social media, a majority of the time using his platform for speaking out about certain political issues he’s passionate about–but in an amazing turn of events, Captain America himself ended up coming across a video compilation of some of his best acrylic-clad memes. And of course, he’s a fan. This gave me a genuine belly laugh. https://t.co/BOmC7JUUdV — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) June 3, 2019 This tweet–even more than the joy already brought by the memes themselves–set the internet on fire…because there’s something so comforting about knowing that Chris Evans likes the sight of himself with a fresh set of nails. The internet can really be a wonderful place, sometimes. With that being said, there are A LOT more memes where that came from. So, for Chris’ birthday, I thought we should compile them all here for your viewing pleasure. But not before looking at some of the heart-warming birthday wishes from some of his fellow Avengers. Really softens the blow after that whole “Iron Man is dead and Captain America is super old and never going to be in another Avengers movie” thing, huh?! Happy birthday to America's ass. The world's a better place, and I owe you a kiss on the cheek! @ChrisEvans pic.twitter.com/iCFRSu0DIH — Robert Downey Jr (@RobertDowneyJr) June 13, 2019 Happiest of birthdays to the fantastic @ChrisEvans Love you, Bro. Always there when you need him. Wishing you all the best today! pic.twitter.com/WJT2kbudN5 — Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) June 13, 2019 So, without further adieu, let’s take a look at the best, the funniest, and the most outrageous memes of Chris Evans in honor of his 38th birthday. Even though we won’t always have him on the big screen, we’ll always have him on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/RoJSop4V9G — Ash Happy Pride!

Source: Xilla Valentine / Xilla Valentine I sat down with Karrueche to discuss the new season of her hit show on TNT Claws . During our conversation, Karrueche opened up about people underestimating the show and her. “It was great for people to see me on a new level where I was taken seriously. Before I’ve done independent films and low budget. Which is still great and part of my journey as an actor, but for this from season one to now has been very empowering.” Jenn Lyon who also stars on Claws chimed in to remind us that until now she has always been attached to someone else as someone else’s girlfriend or a social media influencer. “Now she stands on her own,” Jenn said After that, Karrueche opened up about a pivotal turning point in her life and what it took for her to make a name for herself in order to make it on her own. Karrueche says, “It was tough because I hit a moment in my life where literally, I was like WTF am I going to do? What am I going to do? I thought I used to work at a boutique in LA on Robertson, I was a personal assistant, I worked at Nordstrom for 3 or 4 years before that… Am I going to have to go back to retail?” Then she remembered she had a large following on social media and contemplated ways to capitalize off of the notoriety. “I have this platform of a million or so followers at the time, that kind of means something but what can I do? But also what can I also do that last, that has longevity? That means something? That has substance not just fit tea.” Adding “that’s not to shade to people who make their money off that just not me. That’s just not what I want to promote.” Karrueche goes on to explain how she got offered spots on multiple reality shows but turned them down because that’s not what she wanted to do with her life. She decided to take up acting and she admits it wasn’t an easy journey. “It was hard, even when I started my acting career, Jesus Christ it took some time. I went on so many auditions, at one point my agency was like so you haven’t booked anything are you sure this is what you want to do? I was like fuck! This sucks, but it was a real question I had to ask myself and I had this tiny little voice in the back of my head that said don’t give up, don’t give up… So I told my manager that I’m going to stick through this. I’m going to do it. I’m going to continue to just work hard and eventually I made my way but it’s a tough journey.” After hearing she was good but just too green she finally landed Claws after doing some low budget indie films that helped lay the foundation for the success that she’s having now. Claws one of the top shows on TNT and won a couple of NAACP Image Awards. Catch new episodes Sundays on TNT.

Peep the new video below!
It’s been nine months since Mac Miller tragically passed away at the age of 26 following a fatal overdose. Though a highly acclaimed musician in his own right, outside of the hip hop community, Miller was likely best known for his relationship with Ariana Grande. Though they had broken up several months prior to his death, Miller’s passing was, by all accounts, a devastating blow for Grande. She’s publicly paid tribute to the late rapper several times, most famously in the lyrics to her hit single ” Thank U, Next .” On Wednesday night, Ariana sang the song live in Mac’s hometown of Pittsburgh. It was her first time doing so, and the performance clearly took quite an emotional toll: Ariana Grande “Breaks Down” Over Mac Miller As you can see in the clip above, Ari got choked up and was unable to complete the line “wish I could say, ‘Thank you’ to Malcolm” (Miller’s real first name). The crowd quickly realized what was happening and cheered in encouragement. Ari’s backup singers filled in until she was unable to continue the song with her inimitable light soprano voice. Fans in attendance say Grande was also overcome with emotion while performing the night’s opening number “Raindrops (An Angel Cried).” An empty seat was reserved for Mac toward the front of the stage and prior to Ariana’s performance, a medley of his greatest hits was pumped through the speakers of the PPG Paint Arena. It makes sense that Mac’s passing would be such a sensitive subject for Grande — but apparently, members of her inner circle have become concerned by her recent displays of emotion. “Of course her family is worried,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “She has so many things on her plate and she has been trying to juggle everything while trying to also have some semblance of a personal life,” the insider adds. “Ariana has been so hot and cold lately and no one knows which version of her they are going to get and right now she is more unpredictable than ever.” Sounds like a difficult time for the beloved pop icon — but given how much she’s been through in the past, we’re sure she’ll make it through. Our thoughts are with Mac’s loved ones as they continue to mourn the passing of a once-in-a-generation talent.
