Macaulay Culkin doesn't seem to be too upset about falling victim to a recent death hoax.

After false reports of the actor's death started circulating on the Internet on Saturday, Culkin personally put the rumors to rest when he shared a photo of himself on his band's Twitter account:




The 34-year-old went on to mock the rumors as he recreated a scene from "Weekend At Bernie's," a 1989 comedy in which two guys pretend that their murdered boss is still alive:



So there you have it, folks: Macaulay Culkin is alive, well, and still performing pizza-themed Velvet Underground cover songs.

Justin Bieber likes to hang out with big-time athletes. This time, he apparently met up with some while getting in touch with his spiritual side as well.

Several Pittsburgh Steelers tweeted photos of Bieber at their bible study Saturday night, ahead of their game against the host New York Jets on Sunday. Sports Illustrated surmised they were staying in the same hotel.

Linebacker Arthur Moats, defensive end Cam Heyward and backup quarterback Brad Gradkowski were among the Steelers who tweeted about the pop giant's presence.

A Bieber rep did not immediately return a request for a few more details about the meeting.










Bieber is no stranger to group worship with famous folk. In June he was spotted at a bible study in Los Angeles with on-off flame Selena Gomez, US Weekly reported.

We've long been waiting for a glimpse at "Game Of Thrones" actress Natalie Dormer's portrayal of Cressida in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1," and the latest clip release finally gives us 40 seconds with the rebel.

In the clip, we are introduced to Cressida, as well as her crew, which includes her assistant Messalla and her camera duo, Castor and Pollux. It is the duty of these four to stick with Katniss and document her every move, so that the video can be shared with the rest of the rebellion.

When Katniss asks if they all had been rescued from the capitol, Cressida responds: "We all fled on our own. For this. For you."

This clip follows up from Wednesday's, in which Katniss sees Peeta again for the first time.

People Aren't Happy With The Nazi Imagery In Nicki Minaj's 'Only' Lyric Video

One hard and fast rule about including Nazi imagery in a music video? Don't, unless you want to upset a lot of people.

The lyric video for "Only," Nicki Minaj's new single featuring Drake, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, includes visual elements that are strikingly similar to the Third Reich, particularly its color scheme and Young Money logo. In the animated lyric video, Minaj plays a dictator who sits on a throne before thousands of uniformed soldiers. Here are two screenshots from the video, released to Vevo on Saturday:

People quickly took to social media to slam the "disrespectful" video, with some even demanding that Youtube remove the video altogether. As Gawker pointed out, video director Jeff Osborne has yet to comment on the video but has been retweeting reactions -- good and bad -- on his Twitter account. Nicki Minaj has yet to respond to the criticism.

What Stopped The Show At This Garth Brooks Concert Wasn't A Song, But One Powerful Message

It was a moment that Teresa Shaw will likely never forget: when a superstar singer brought his concert to a standstill so he could offer his support to her fight against cancer.

Shaw, who has reportedly been battling stage 3 breast cancer since June, attended a Garth Brooks concert with her daughter on Friday. The longtime fan brought a sign to hold up at the show that read: “Chemo this morning, Garth tonight, enjoying ‘The Dance,’” referencing one of the country star’s hits.

“That’s one of my favorite songs of his,” Shaw told WCCO-TV.

So when Brooks started singing “The Dance” at the Target Center in Minneapolis that night, Shaw wanted very much to get closer to the stage.

"The next thing I knew, another usher was coming up to me and were like, 'Follow us,'" the 46-year-old mom of three told KARE-11. “And they took me to the very front, right in front of [Brooks].”

About a minute into the song, the camera caught Shaw’s sign, prompting cheers from the crowd. A minute later, Brooks walked to the edge of the stage, sat down right in front of an awestruck Shaw and began serenading her. Moments later, he took her hand and gave her his guitar.

"To give away something like that is just remarkable, and now if I ever have a bad day, I can always go look at his guitar and get inspiration," Shaw told KARE-11.

As the song ended, Brooks and Shaw embraced, and the singer planted a kiss atop her head. He then stood, Shaw’s sign in his hand and exclaimed: “God just stuck his hand out and wrote this … You have all my strength, you have everybody’s strength in here and you go kick cancer’s ass!”

Scroll to 2:10 in the video below to watch the moving encounter:


Shaw told WCCO-TV that the experience was “overwhelming, humbling.”

“You never expect that from anybody, especially a big superstar,” she said.

As Taste of Country notes, Brooks is no stranger to the pain of cancer. He lost both his mother and sister to the disease.

'Beside Still Waters' Director Chris Powell On Featuring A Gay Character That Wasn't 'Over The Top'

The cast and creative team behind the new film "Beside Still Waters" appeared on HuffPost Live this week, with director Chris Powell explaining his approach to including a gay character in his movie.

"There's kind of this void in pop culture [in terms of how] homosexuality is portrayed," Powell said of the character of Tom (played by Beck Bennett). "I was so sick and tired of seeing foppish, over-the-top, broad characters that were...becoming sort of the industry standard of what a gay man or a gay woman looked like."

The director chose not to include "gay" in the description of the character in the initial script, because he "didn't want actors coming in and auditioning and doing their version of 'gay.' It shouldn't matter."

Bennett says he agreed with Powell's approach to the role.

"I was just interested in men," he said of his performance.

Beck Bennett has been one of the biggest bright spots on "Saturday Night Live" during his first two seasons, appearing in a bevy of sketches, both live and pre-produced. (Bennett's Good Neighbor team of cast member Kyle Mooney and writer Nick Rutherford have taken up the slack left behind by Andy Samberg's Lonely Island.) In a HuffPost Live interview on Monday, Bennett spilled details of the audition that landed him the position.

Bennett, who stopped by HuffPost Live with Reid Scott ("Veep") and Chris Lowell ("Veronica Mars") to chat about their upcoming film, "Beside Still Waters," said he did three impressions -- Tobey Maguire, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christoph Waltz -- along with three original characters.

"Last minute, I came up with one of the characters I did on the show, which is Baby Boss," Bennett told host Ricky Camilleri. "I came up with it like two nights before."

The Baby Boss sketch was hailed as one of 2013's best. Bennett said he was filming a movie in Austin, Texas, when he got the call to audition in front of "SNL" execs.

UPDATE: Beyonce pulled a fast one on us and bunched up what is actually a dress to make it look like a swimsuit. The good news? You can buy one here.

PREVIOUSLY: Let's be honest: Beyonce could wear anything under the sun and look absolutely amazing in it. (Reminder: she's Beyonce.) But this one-piece was made. for. her.

The photo she posted to Beyonce.com says it all, but in case you were temporarily blinded by her beauty and couldn't read, the swimsuit says: "99 Problems But My Ass Ain't One." And truer words have never been spoken:

Of course, the swimsuit borrows a line from her husband Jay Z's song, "99 Problems," but we'd like to think Queen Bey was singing "Bootylicious" in her head as the cameras snapped.

It's that time of year again: "The Hunger Games" saga continues.

And the cast was on-hand to celebrate the release of the book-turned-movie franchise's latest installment, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1," on Monday at the Odeon Leicester Square in London. But all eyes were on the film's female star Jennifer Lawrence, who stunned in an embellished white Dior dress, accessorizing with black strappy heels, angelic makeup and a stylish updo.

The 24-year-old actress signed autographs and took photos with fans before posing with her co-stars on the red carpet.

"Something that I really loved about these books when I first read them is that they're great, it's a fantastic story, but it's also a very important story to tell about how powerful just one voice can be," Lawrence said of playing heroine Katniss Everdeen in a recent interview. "And it can be scary. It is always easier to go with the more popular vote and to follow the person in front of you. It's really scary to stand up to a voice that's bigger than yours."

This Chart Will Help You Understand 'Interstellar' Better

Still confused by "Interstellar"? Is your brain hurting in an attempt to piece together the time-warped timeline? Have no fear, because this simplified chart will blow away all that mental dust.

Spoiler alert: If you have not seen "Interstellar," stop reading this post now. Traveling through a wormhole will not save you from spoilers!

Frame-Tale designer Dogan Can Gundogdu decided to break down Christopher Nolan's latest in a visually-appealing chart that maps out the film's puzzling timeline. If you couldn't quite figure out where Dr. Mann's (aka that actor we do not name) planet was in time in relation to Earth, or if you were confused about the movie's ending existing in two separate times, then this will clear things up. Oh, and Gundogdu only saw "Interstellar" once before making this chart, so clearly it's not that hard to comprehend.

Also, everyone out there still listing all the plot holes in "Interstellar," Nolan has a message for you: your efforts are fruitless.

"I’m very aware of the plot holes in my films and very aware of when people spot them," Nolan recently told the Daily Beast, "but they generally don’t."

If you're still confused -- and convinced that "Interstellar" makes no sense -- take a dive into this intricate chart by Reddit user sto-ifics42. Either way, Nolan is of the belief that not all films need to be understood as much as they "need to be felt."

A few weeks back, Taylor Swift was named Global Welcome Ambassador for New York City.

But Swift's New York -- the New York of $20 million Tribeca apartments and court-side seats at Knicks game -- isn't representative of most other people's New York.

In fact, most of the info and vocabulary NYC GO had the 24-year-old dole out to tourists and newcomers in neatly packaged videos isn't really that helpful at all.

Russell Brand: 90-Year-Old Arrested For Feeding Homeless Better Off Carrying Gun, Not Food

Supporters across the world have erupted since a 90-year-old WWII vet was arrested in Florida for feeding the homeless. But perhaps no one has offered as swift of a takedown of the charges as British comedian Russell Brand.

Arnold Abbott, affectionately known as “Chef Arnold,” may face 60 days in jail and a $500 fine because he continued to help the hungry after Fort Lauderdale passed an ordinance banning public feedings, Local 10 originally reported. The fiery actor helped put the hotly debated topic into perspective on his web series, "The Trews," when he reminded viewers that while feeding the hungry is an unequivocal no-no in Fort Lauderdale, bringing a gun pretty much anywhere is just fine.

arrested feeding homeless

When Abbott was arrested for the first time on Nov. 2, the advocate told Local 10 that one of the police officers told him to “'drop that plate right now,' as if I were carrying a weapon."

But Brand pointed out that it’s actually easier to brandish a weapon in this particularly gun-friendly city than it is a plate of food.

"If you were carrying a weapon, afternoon sir," Brand suggested the police might have said.

feeding homeless arrested

An estimated 1 million Floridians have concealed weapon permits. And a 2011 Fort Lauderdale law further eased restrictions, allowing gun owners there to bring firearms to government buildings, pools, beaches and parades, the Sun Sentinel reported.

The outspoken comedian noted, however, that Fort Lauderdale isn’t alone in its mission to criminalize homelessness.

Since January last year, 21 cities have enacted measures to limit feeding homeless people, according to a recent National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) survey.

Despite getting cited for a second time on Wednesday, Abbott -- who founded the interfaith mission Love The Neighbor -- remains committed to his cause.

"I'm grateful that they allowed us to feed the people before they gave us the citation," Abbott told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

Wendy Williams wants you to know that she really is happy for Bruce Jenner.

The daytime talk show personality stopped by HuffPost Live this week and discussed the recent controversy surrounding her comments about the reality star and former Olympian Jenner.

Williams came under fire last month when she made offensive comments about Jenner and speculated about his gender identity. Now, Williams wants people to know that those comments were not intended to be hurtful.

"I don't know what Bruce is going through but I'm happy for him because there's got to be nothing worse in a person's life then to not be able to live in their own truth," she told HuffPost Live. "Whether you're gay, whether you're transgender -- whatever. Whatever it is."

Williams also discussed her relationship with the LGBT community, the sincerity of which has been questioned due to this controversy and others before it.

"People hear what they want to hear, not what was actually said," she remarked. "Listen, I'm a friend to a lot of communities. You know, I call things as I see them and that's that."

Rhea Perlman's having the time of her life shooting "The Mindy Project" this season.

The veteran actress told HuffPost Live on Monday that she'd be happy to be featured as a series regular in her role as Danny Castellano's mother, and she spoke specifically about a physical sequence she had with Mindy Kaling that they perhaps got a little too excited about.

"We rehearsed it a little bit, but because it's physical, we did quite a few takes," Perlman recounted. "I think I pulled her hair out of her head a couple of times."

Still, the former "Cheers" star said "it's a lot of fun doing the physical stuff." The two ladies' characters hysterically clash throughout the show, as Kaling plays the girlfriend of Perlman's character's son -- Danny Castalano's -- girlfriend.

Matthew McConaughey May Have Given Away The Ending Of 'Interstellar' In A Lincoln Ad

Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln commercials were infused with inscrutable Rust Cohleisms, but thanks to Redditor Gandalfs_stolen_cart, it looks like one of the ads actually had a spoiler-y connection to "Interstellar."

Warning: If you have not seen "Interstellar," stop reading now -- serious spoilers about the ending ahead!

In one of McConaughey's three Lincoln commercials, he rambles on about the past, the future and the ability to rather ambiguously move through both. "Sometimes you've got to go back to actually move forward," McConaughey says in the ad. "I don't mean going back to reminisce or chase ghosts. I mean, going back to see where you came from, where you've been, how you got here, see where you're going."

Could anything better encapsulate the ending of "Interstellar," in which Cooper (McConaughey), who's future presence is sensed in the past and believed to be a "ghost" by his daughter, literally moves through time via wormhole? Let's also not forget that Cooper's daughter, Murph, also literally "goes back" to her childhood home and thus makes the ultimate discovery that saves the people on Earth. But wait, there's more.

"I know there are those who say you can't go back," McConaughey muses in the ad. "Yes, you can. You just have to look in the right place." Hmm, the right place ... why not travel through a wormhole and end up in a five-dimensional bookshelf where you can communicate with your past self and your daughter in order to save the fate of humanity? Yeah, it sounds like he was looking in the right place. Besides wondering if McConaughey was messing with us all along with these ads, we're also curious if Lincoln is going to come out with a TARS model. If so, it better feature talking GPS in Bill Irwin's voice.

Watch the ad for Lincoln, then proceed to realize that time is indeed a flat circle, guys.
