Gossip: Prince William, Harry & Kate To Re-Dedicate Princess Diana’s Grave; Sean Hannity Says CNN Has “Lied Itself To Death”

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry will rededicate their mother’s grave on what would have been her birthday this weekend, as they include Prince George and Princess Charlotte in a special service to remember her. The Duke, Duchess and Prince Harry and the children will attend a private service at Althorp House, as the Archbishop of Canterbury helps them commemorate Diana, Princess of Wales in the 20th anniversary year of her death.

The rededication, understood to comprise words of reflection and prayer at the graveside, will take place after the memorial underwent extensive redesign following an accusation that the burial site had been neglected. The Spencer family last year began the first major programme of works to the estate gardens in 350 years, saying they would “honour” the memory of Diana in time for the anniversary.

This Saturday, on what would have been Diana’s 56th birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, Prince George and two-year-old Princess Charlotte will gather at Althorp in a private ceremony. The Prince of Wales will be absent, performing Royal duties in Ottawa to mark Canada Day with the Duchess of Cornwall. Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, and her sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Baroness Fellowes will also attend. Earl Spencer’s third wife, Lady Karen, whom he married in 2011, has overseen the renovation project.

Kensington Palace said in a brief statement: “The service, which will fall on what would have been the Princess’s birthday, will be conducted by The Archbishop of Canterbury and attended by her family.”

The service will be private, with aides declining to give details on any readings or prayers to be delivered.

Sean Hannity Says CNN Has “Lied Itself To Death”

Mediaite reports:

On Wednesday night, Sean Hannity continued his attacks on CNN and had a message for CNN’s president Jeff Zucker. “At this point,” he began, “we should put CNN six feet underground for repeatedly spreading lies, propaganda, black helicopter tinfoil hat conspiracy theories, and for viciously trying to take down this president.” He showed an image of CNN’s gravestone that read “Lied itself to death.”

He then listed former FBI Director James Comey admitting he leaked his memo to the press, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch interfering in the Clinton email investigation, all of Hillary Clinton‘s scandals, President Obama keeping quiet about Russia meddling in the election, the unmasking of Gen. Michael Flynn, and the conflict of interests of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Meme Alert: This Gorilla Who Gives Hilarious TED Talks

No meme is born the same way. You never know from which corner a new meme will take place and capture our collective internet imaginations. The latest comes courtesy of a combination of the LA Zoo, Reddit, and Twitter. Allow us to explain. The LA Zoo hosts a Roaring Night series during the summer, when adults can check out animals and botanical gardens after hours with some late night vibes. Following one such night, a Reddit user noticed this gorilla picture.

As the Reddit user wrote, the gorilla looks like a professor giving an “undergraduate philosophy lecture outside since it’s a nice day.”

 

But soon the picture caught steam with a slight remix. People imagined the gorilla giving stellar TED talks. The popularity of memes nowadays capitalize on a simple premise, everyone can put their own twist on. Let us be the first to say, the internet succeeded. The Harambe jokes are on point.

So in conclusion, don’t forget: If it can happen to Harambe, it can happen to you.

The Wacko Gadget That Fills Bananas With Goo And WHY?

The Wacko Gadget That Fills Bananas With Goo And WHY?

Nobody asked for this. No one wanted this. But here it is anyway: the Banana Surprise Yumstation.

Kitchen gadget reviewer Rhik Samadder for the Guardian was brave enough to test this monstrosity out himself, so we didn’t have to. He called it “one of the most striking things I’ve ever seen but it is also one of the most abominable and traumatizing things I’ve ever tried.”

The concept for this device is simple, yet horrifying. First, choose your viscous foodstuff: cream, jam, chocolate, toffee, whatever is squirtable and would go inside of a banana. Actually, no, nothing should go inside of a banana, but if you can have an open mind about it, perhaps one of those might work.

You’ll then basically core the banana using a tube that’s in the shape of a plastic banana—a banana is impaling another banana here—and use a separate tube to squirt your liquids into the hole the corer left.

Samadder describes the process in an interview with CBC:

There’s a thing, a sort of swabbing stick, that you push down the hollows of the straws to clean them. There’s a lot of plastic tubes going into things and coming out of things. You’re pumping fluids into other fluids. It’s just a very messy, sticky, horrifying affair. You’d actually be better off just putting a straw down a banana with your bare hand. The fact that this thing has been designed at all makes me think it has some sort of dark ulterior purpose.

Absolutely disgusting. Whoever invented this needs to find a different hobby than violating innocent fruits and marketing it to children.

What’s All This Business With Poop In Iced Coffee?

What’s All This Business With Poop In Iced Coffee?

Are you sipping a delicious iced coffee right now? Don’t freak out, but if it’s from a big chain cafe, there’s probably feces in it.

A report from the BBC’s Watchdog found these shocking results. They found fecal matter in the iced coffees of three major coffee chains, Costa Coffee, Starbucks and Caffe Nero:

Seven out of 10 samples of Costa ice were found to be contaminated with bacteria found in faeces. At both Starbucks and Caffe Nero, three out of 10 samples tested contained the bacteria known as faecal coliforms.

Ice machines are notoriously filthy, and Starbucks has been called out before in health investigations around ice.

“These should not be present at any level, never mind the significant numbers found,” Expert Tony Lewis told the BBC. He said these types of bacteria are “opportunistic pathogens – the source of human disease.”

Following the BBC investigation, all three of the chains are either conducting their own investigations or making changes to how equipment is used. Costa updated its ice-handling guidelines and was installing new ice equipment storage. Starbucks started conducting its own investigation, stating that the company took hygiene “extremely seriously.” A Caffe Nero spokesman said “a thorough investigation” was under way, followed by “appropriate action” after their own findings are complete.

You’re better off making your own at home, where you can at least control what going into your cold brew, whether it’s fancy coffee-cubes or a little cannabis.

Gossip: Shonda Rhimes Was Surprised How People Treated Her After Losing 150 Lbs.; Adele Says She May Never Tour Again

In her new Shondaland newsletter, the uber-producer behind “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal” reflects on how her recent weight loss of “closer to 150 lbs” brought unwanted attention from women and men alike.

“Women I barely knew gushed. And I mean GUSHED. Like I was holding-a-new-baby-gushed,” Rhimes wrote. “Only there was no new baby. It was just me. In a dress. With makeup on and my hair all did, yes. But…still the same me. In one of my same dresses (cause why am I gonna buy a NEW dress when I can take this to a seamstress and she can just make it smaller? Who am I, The Crown? No, I’m from the Midwest, baby, and I come with coupons). Women gushed anyway. And men? They spoke to me. THEY SPOKE TO ME. Like stood still and had long conversations with me about things. It was disconcerting. But even more disconcerting was that all these people suddenly felt completely comfortable talking to me about my body. Telling me I looked ‘pretty’ or that they were ‘proud of me’ or that ‘wow, you are so hot now’ or ‘you look amazing!’ ”

Rhimes expresses confusion over how “after I lost weight, I discovered that people found me valuable. Worthy of conversation. A person one could look at. A person one could compliment. A person one could admire.”

“You heard me. I discovered that NOW people saw me as a PERSON,” she wrote. “What the hell did they see me as before? How invisible was I to them then? How hard did they work to avoid me? What words did they use to describe me? What value did they put on my presence at a party, a lunch, a discussion? When I was fat, I wasn’t a PERSON to these people. Like I had been an Invisible Woman who suddenly materialized in front of them. Poof! There I am. Thin and ready for a chat.”

Rhimes goes on to say “being thinner doesn’t make you a different person. It just makes you thinner.”

Adele Says She May Never Tour Again

“So this is it after 15 months on the road and 18 months of 25 we are at the end,” the letter read. “Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well. I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things.”

Adele, 29, however, reportedly told the crowd that she will continue to write music. “I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favorite artists have had on me live. And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home,” she wrote. “I might never see you again at a live show. Who knows. But I will remember this for the rest of my life.”

Recreational Marijuana In New York By 2020?

Recreational Marijuana In New York By 2020?

New York lawmakers are, once again, pushing some of the state’s more conservative legislative forces to get with the times and finally allow the existence of a taxed and regulated cannabis market.

Earlier this month, Senator Liz Krueger and Representative Crystal Peoples-Stokes reintroduced a proposal called the “Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act.” This is the third time the bill has been filed with the General Assembly. So far, it has not received a hearing.

At the core of this legislation, adults 18 and older would have the right to possess up to two ounces of marijuana without being harassed by law enforcement. It would establish a fully legal marketplace, similar to what is happening in Colorado and Washington, but only for those adults 21 and older. The bill also comes with a home cultivation provision. It too would be limited to adult residents legally permitted to frequent the recreational market.

Despite the increased level of support for this reform all over the United States, the concept of legal weed has failed to garner any attention from New York’s legislative chambers. However, Krueger and Peoples-Stokes say they plan to continue force-feeding the issue to the opposition in an attempt to establish a fully legal framework by 2020.

“Marijuana prohibition is a failed and outdated policy that has done tremendous damage to too many of our communities,” Krueger said in a statement. “Allowing adult personal use, with appropriate regulation and taxation, will end the heavily racialized enforcement that disproportionately impacts African American and Latino New Yorkers, locking them out of jobs, housing, and education, and feeding the prison pipeline.”

But even if the two lawmakers can get the General Assembly to finally go along with their plan to end pot prohibition in the Empire State, it is going to take some time before Governor Andrew Cuomo is comfortable enough with the situation to support the cause in ink.

In April, Cuomo told reporters that he wasn’t ready to side full legalization. He is concerned that marijuana is a gateway drug that will further contribute to the state’s drug problem.

“There’s two sides to the argument, but I, as of this date, I am unconvinced on recreational marijuana,” Cuomo said. “If you choose to use marijuana recreationally, you know the law.”

But Senator Krueger believes Cuomo will soon see the benefits of passing a recreational marijuana law – just like he did with respect to the issue of cannabis medicine.

“When he came in as governor, he was explicitly opposed to medical marijuana,” she said. “We now have a medical marijuana law he signed.”

The latest statistics from a new campaign called Start SMART NY shows the state could easily see $3 billion per year in marijuana sales once it is legal. New York City alone could generate an annual haul of over $400 million.

You Can Finally Get Married In A Taco Bell

All of your high school Taco Bell drive-through dreams are coming true. It’s part of a partnership with Las Vegas-based popup wedding specialists Flora Pop, who will officiate the weddings. You can invite up to 15 guests, including your very non-judgemental family and your closest friends, and experience a spicy-sweet wedding ceremony within four hours.

The ceremony costs $600, and includes a dozen tacos, a Cinnabon Delights cake and a bouquet of hot sauce packets.

Taco Bell is no stranger to grand, romantic gimmicks—or, gestures—with their previous campaign for Valentine’s Day. Called Love and Tacos, the company gave away a free wedding, including a trip to Vegas, to the bride who got the most creative with her love of Taco Bell. Diane Nguyen made a gown entirely out of burrito wrappers:

At the time of that contest, Taco Bell announced a competition to become the first couple married in the Las Vegas location. Dan Ryckert and Bianca Monda won, and were married Sunday, June 25.

“Starting August 7, fans everywhere can have their own Taco Bell wedding, which they can walk in and order right off the Las Vegas Cantina menu,” company said in a statement. “This is unlike anything we’ve ever done before, so we are excited to see the response from our fans and see how many do take their love – both in their relationship and with Taco Bell – to the next level.”

If you’re ready to tie the knot and toast with a Crunchwrap Supreme at the same time, head to Vegas.

Wake And Bake: The Breakfast Bowl Marijuana Pipe

A breakfast bowl can confer multiple meanings to a cannabis user. Like everyone else, the modern cannabis consumer uses breakfast bowls like anyone else: for cereal, oatmeal, maybe some ice cream if you’re feeling adventurous in the morning. But a breakfast bowl marijuana pipe? A wake and bake, for the ages.

Thanks to cannabis legalization, smoking and consumption technologies have boomed in recent years. Whether it’s tinctures or vaporizers or topicals, the industry has seen an explosion of creativity when it comes to enjoying marijuana responsibly.

For one man, though, there was one device missing: the breakfast bowl. Instead of something that was one or the other—either a cereal bowl or pipe—Ryan Hart concocted a device that was both. Priced at $89, now you can pack a bowl of marijuana and a bowl of oatmeal to start your mornings. Or if you’re more of a night owl, a bowl of ice cream and some indica.

“The Breakfast Bowl Pipe was in internet myth that we had to break,” reads the company’s website. “We saw all of the photos and followed all the links, but just couldn’t find a place to buy it. So we did the next best thing, we commissioned the production so we could share it with the world.”

Can You Guess What The Best Beer In America Is?

It took eight years, but Pliny the Elder has been dethroned as the Best Beer in America.

The title now belongs to Two Hearted Ale, an IPA from Bell’s Brewery in Michigan.

Bells, along with fellow Michigan-based brewery Founders Brewing, are the only breweries to have more than one beer in the top 10.

This is all according to members of the American Homebrewers Association, and is specifically based on commercial U.S. beers that are available for public purchase. Results of the annual survey are published AHA’s Zymurgy Magazine.

Russian River’s Pliny the Elder, which has claimed the top spot for more than half of the survey’s 15 years, fell to second place.
