Gabrielle Union Delightfully Roasts Dwyane Wade After Missed Dunk

Actress Gabrielle Union is married to Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade. Apparently, they were having a bit of a tiff at home – Wade left the seat up in the bathroom, and Union did not take too kindly to it. So when Wade blew this dunk...



...Union had the perfect response:


Either way, Wade can't be too upset. His Bulls stole Game 1 from the Celtics, 106-102.

President Obama Has More Mean Tweets to Read


Being President is hard work. Not only do you have to worry about the country you preside over, whether it's the economy, social tension, or natural disasters, you also have to maintain diplomatic foreign relations.

On top of all of that, you also have people criticizing your every move. Barack Obama knows that all too well. Fortunately, he's a good sport about it, and he's back on Jimmy Kimmel Live for another installment of Mean Tweets. The country thanks him for it.

10th Edition of Mean Tweets...It's Still Funny


Mean tweets is back, and would you believe it's the 10th edition of celebrities reading 'em? That makes it like the 18th overall, but hey, who's counting? And believe it or not, this is still a fantastic gag. Some really clever tweets in this own, as well. Good job, Twitter!

Lumbersexuals Unite: It's Time to Get Jacked


When you think of a lumberjack, what do you picture? There's likely some plaid involved, and of course a beard. And he'll usually have an axe over his shoulder. But there's a difference between what you're picturing – a lumbersexual – and an actual lumberjack.

Fortunately, the makers of Dinty Moore® stew are here to set us all straight. There's more to being a lumberjack than simply looking the part. It takes the right training to perform the intense maneuvers that lumberjacks have to do, from axe throwing to wood chopping to crosscut sawing. There are competitions all over the world, and to take home the top prize, you've gotta be prepared.

One of those competitions is the STIHL Timbersports Series U.S. Pro and Collegiate Championships on July 15th in Chicago, sponsored by the makers of Dinty Moore® stew. Led by professional lumberjack Adrian Flygt (word on the street is that his resume is written on the handle of an axe), Hormel Foods Dinty Moore® stew is putting a team of lumbersexuals together, transforming them into might lumberjacks.

Adrian is...not encouraged by early results.

This is the face of a man looking at a log that's still fully intact.

But with enough training, the Moore Jacks just might make it after all. Of course, they'll need the right diet plan, and that includes a hearty dose of Hormel Foods Dinty Moore® stew. Since the first step of becoming a lumberjack is eating like one – and I just shaved, so I need to do something right – I picked up some Dinty Moore Hearty Meals® Beef Stew. It's got enough packed into it to put a dent in any surface.

Literally crushing a bed. Amazing.

The best part is that it actually tastes good, too, and despite eating it several hours ago, I still feel full. The makers of Dinty Moore® stew want you to get in on the lumberjack fun, too, and there are plenty of ways to do so: for starters, check out the landing page and see what kind of shenanigans the lumbersexuals are getting up to. Be sure to follow along on Twitter with the #MooreJacks hashtag, watch some video action on YouTube, and take this BuzzFeed quiz to find out what percent lumbersexual you are. I'm 30 percent, which doesn't make me a lumbersexual, but rather "just a guy." Very inspiring. Time to eat some more Dinty Moore Hearty Meals® Beef Stew.

Heartier than a love song.

For my beard-sporting, plaid-wearing, axe-wielding friends, I look forward to hearing about your lumbersexual adventures. The rest of you, better start training – or at least training your stomach.

Men Read Mean Tweets to Women Journalists' Faces


If you don't feel disgusted after reading this video, I really don't know what to tell you. As part of its #MoreThanMean campaign, the Just Not Sports network had men come in and read insulting, harassing, and typically vile tweets to female sports reporters Julie DiCaro and Sarah Spain.

Oh yes, the tweets are about DiCaro and Spain.

The men reading these didn't write the tweets, and you can tell, as some get choked up having to share someone's horrible thoughts directly to the reporters' faces.

Perhaps even more outrageous are the comments on the video itself, which are equally as terrible as what's in the video, if not worse. It's almost enough to make you give up on humanity completely, but then you see the guys in this video expressing remorse, and you feel a little bit better.

Remember, everyone: regardless of your gender or the gender of the person you're talking to, it's still a real human being on the other end of your post. Just because you're typing it into a computer, don't think it won't have any effect.

Before we all get too bummed out, here's a video of puppies and babies playing together.

Yes, There's Another Mean Tweets, And It's Still Funny




Celebrity Mean Tweets is back for its ninth installment on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which I believe makes it the 14th or 15th overall. And surprisingly, it is still funny. The creativity of some of these tweets is top notch. Keep it up, trolls. Keep it up.

Mean Tweets Is Back With Another NBA Edition, Just In Time For The Finals




It's been a hot minute since Jimmy Kimmel Live released an installment of Mean Tweets, but we can stop worrying now. Just in time for the NBA Finals, Kimmel and co. provide us with some more baller cruelty. A ton of the players on here have already been roasted once or twice via tweet, so I feel like this loses a little luster. But hey, the insults are as strong as ever. Enjoy!

McDonald's Unveils New Hamburglar, People Everywhere Groan





McDonald's released a pair of tweets today, debuting its new Hamburglar. People are predictably rumbling about the new mascot, but I don't think it's too terrible. If nothing else, he's embracing his suburban dad roots while trying to steal some patties.

However, the hashtag of #RobbleRobble is a little confusing. The Hamburglar may now be mistaken for an angry South Park mob. On second thought, that might be the greatest thing ever.

President Obama Reads Mean Tweets About Himself


Ohh, those trolls on Twitter! This time, they're going after Barack Obama. Fortunately, Jimmy Kimmel was around with a camera rolling. Check out an all-Obama edition of Mean Tweets.

Mean Tweets Is Back With Another Music Edition, And It's Glorious


The newest edition of "Mean Tweets," really the best segment from Jimmy Kimmel Live, features more musicians from all walks of life and annoyances. You've got Ariana Grande, 5 Seconds of Summer, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Sia (randomly facing backwards and eating a jar of peanut butter with her hand), and many others being insulted by tweeters.

The last couple of episodes of this were not super funny, making me think it had finally stopped being a good idea. But this one is hysterical, and all is right with the world again.

More Mean Tweets? Yes Please!


Jimmy Kimmel Live is back with the eighth installment of celebrities reading mean tweets. This time, we learn John Stamos has a weird belly button, Ty Burrell often gets mistaken for a less flattering Jon Hamm, and someone really hates Lisa Kudrow. 

Remember, folks, celebrities have feelings, too. So make your tweets creatively mean, and you might end up on TV.

LeVar Burton Introduces Tweeting Rainbow



Nostalgia went wild this past year, when LeVar Burton Kickstarted his way to bringing back Reading Rainbow. Pretty awesome stuff, though of course there are some skeptics. I'm not sure if this segment from Jimmy Kimmel Live, called "Tweeting Rainbow," answers those skeptics, but, hey, it was pretty funny. Enjoy.

Jimmy Kimmel Has Some More Mean Tweets For Celebrities



My goodness, these will never not be funny. In the ninth overall installment of the series (seventh with "celebrities"), Jimmy Kimmel and his crack Twitter team have found insulting tweets from all walks of life. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Gary Oldman, Sophia Vergara...nobody is safe this time around. Or I guess anytime around. But still, this one's probably in the top half of the Mean Tweets, so it's worth a watch. Enjoy!

Mean Tweets Is Back!



Oh, glorious day. In what is probably Jimmy Kimmel's best sketch, celebrities read mean tweets directed at them. And, as always, the results are hilarious. Let's go!

A Compilation of Vines: The Best of 2013



I'll be the first one to tell you that I think Vine is really stupid. As someone who edits videos fairly frequently (or at least used to, back in the day), the really bare bones level of editing was frustrating, and the one time I tried to make a complete video, the application froze. But there are some people who can come up with something great in six seconds, and a couple of those even found their way into this compilation. Yes, a lot of these are dreadful, but the good ones are oh so worth it.

Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake Go Overboard on Hashtags



As a frequent user of social media, I've seen many a hashtag in my day. Usually they're stupid (#crocsaremyfavorite), about alcohol (#getmydrinkon) or confusing (#flipcupsaladbeatbox). Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon demonstrate how to use all three variations in this sketch from Late Night. And Twitter will soon explode hashtagging about it.

Be Careful What You Tweet...

Twitter: The Romantic Comedy


Have you ever imagined what a movie about Twitter would be like? Not at all? OK, how about after The Social Network? Now there's some curiosity, eh? Still no? Well...they made a trailer about a Twitter movie anyway!

Called You Got Retweeted, I sincerely doubt this will develop into a big thing. But they at least got some fairly big names to star in the trailer. Alison Brie, Jason Ritter, Daniel Franzese and Kimmy Gatewood come together in a fairly entertaining (albeit, completely stupid) romp where hashtags and @mentions are a thing of beauty. Fantastic.

Twitter Hashtag...Musical Style!


One of the (originally) unique features about Twitter is (was) the hashtag. No doubt you've seen them now on all sorts of platforms, ranging from useful: "Hey, is anyone else going to see #IcePrincess?" to just ways to add something at the end of a sentence, without hitting the spacebar: "I just went back for sixths at Golden Corral #cantwaittohavethismassivediarrhealattack."

Regardless, Paul the Trombonist has decided to give us a little musical history of the hashtag. Pretty cool stuff. Check it out!
