Forget turning back time. Cher turned 69 on May 20, and the diva is simply owning it.

Thanking her fans on Twitter for their well wishes, the “Believe” singer wrote:




She’s got that right.

Here she is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala on May 4, rocking a Marc Jacobs dress:

Don Draper Survived The 'Mad Men' Finale And Apparently Lives Until 80, According To One Illustrator

"Mad Men" may be over, but that doesn't mean we can't watch Don Draper live on.

Sunday's finale was not only a sad farewell to the show that's captured so many loyal viewers, it also left us with an ambiguous ending, letting viewers contemplate what Draper, Sterling and the others end up doing. There are numerous theories out there as to what really becomes of the show's lead.

One illustrator has his own take, imagining Draper as a silver-haired 80-something. Tim O'Brien, president of the Society of Illustrators, says the troubled character actually went on to have a wholesome, fulfilling life. "I think Don went on to be near his children with his move back to NYC. He learned something out west, that he had people around him who loved him and I think the rest of his life was recognizing that," O'Brien told The Huffington Post.

An 80-something Don Draper as imagined by Tim O'Brien

O'Brien says he was inspired by the character living on and even giving us a little smile in the final scenes. Prior to the finale, many fans were convinced that the series' opening sequence foreshadowed an untimely death for Draper.

Jon Hamm, who played Draper, seemed to suggest in a post-finale interview with The New York Times that Draper would come to the realization that he will always be an advertising man. Many people took this as a sign that the character would return to the Big Apple and create the famous "I'd like to buy a Coke" commercial.

We'd like to think Draper at least got to enjoy a nice, relaxing retirement.

Jim Gaffigan 'Comes Out' As A Progressive Christian On His New Show -- And It's Comedic Gold

$

Sometimes, the only way to understand religion is to laugh at it.

Or so argues the first episode of stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan’s new show, aptly titled The Jim Gaffigan Show. The program had a bumpy road to production, but the first season is finally set to air this summer, and last week Gaffigan released the first episode for free on his website. In it, everyman Gaffigan plays a quasi-fictional version of himself, copy-pasting the funnier-version-of-my-life-as-a-comedian structure made famous by Louie, the show of fellow funnyman Louis C.K.

But while the show is likely to generate buzz among Gaffigan’s existing fanbase, its first chapter might also attract a few extra viewers for its elegant treatment of a notoriously difficult topic — faith. The episode opens with a simple premise: Gaffigan the character, who shares the Catholic faith of Gaffigan the comedian, picks up a large Bible at the request of his wife Jeannine (Ashley Williams), only to be photographed toting it around town by a devoted fan. When the photo ends up plastered across the front page of the Huffington Post, Gaffigan panics, telling his wife “I don’t want people to think I believe in God.”

David Letterman's Final 'Late Show' Had Its Biggest Audience In Two Decades

David Letterman signed off on Wednesday night with a major bang. The host's final "Late Show" episode not only featured a slew of big-name celebrities, but also drew in the largest audience Letterman has seen in 20 years.

CBS executive Chris Ender tweeted on Thursday that Letterman's last show had 13.7 million viewers, the most since his post-Olympics show on Feb. 25, 1994, which drew in 15.5 million viewers. It was the most-watched broadcast on TV Wednesday night, beating out every other primetime show. The high viewership also helped "The Late Late Show" break a record with 4 million viewers, the highest the show's had with any host.

Letterman fell short of beating Jay Leno's goodbye record, however. Leno's second exit from "The Tonight Show" had an audience of 14.6 million. Still, Letterman went out on top with his favorite band playing his favorite song.

Model mom Nicole Trunfio brought her newborn baby boy along for her Elle Australia shoot and a photo of her breastfeeding him landed on the cover.

Trunfio breastfeeds son Zion Rain in the exclusive subscriber version of the June 2015 cover. The moment was a candid one, captured by photographer Georges Antoni.

“This wasn’t a contrived situation: Zion needed a feed, Nicole gave it to him, and when we saw how beautiful they looked we simply moved her onto the set,” Editor-in-Chief Justine Cullen explained. “It was a completely natural moment that resulted in a powerful picture.”

Trunfio, who was moved to tears by the cover, wrote about why she believes the image is a significant one in an Instagram post Thursday.

There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood. The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding there is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public. #weareonlyhuman I'm so proud of this cover and for what it's stands for. I obviously don't look like this while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers. Thank you to ELLE for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement. #womenunite


The 29-year-old supermodel welcomed her first child with fiancé Gary Clark, Jr., back in January.

After months of raising funds to secure future programming, Chicago arts institution, Donda’s House has reportedly received a record donation from its co-founder, Kanye West.

According to a press release, West recently donated $133,000 of the proceeds from his Louis Vuitton Foundation concert series to the organization, which was among 30 Chicago social service programs who lost state funding that was awarded through former Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration.

Donda's Houselaunched in 2013 in honor of West’s mother, Dr. Donda West. It hosts a 12-week program providing instructional classes in creative writing, studio recording, and health/wellness education to artists between the ages of 14 - 24 years-old.

Donda’s House Executive Director, Donnie Smith, expressed her gratitude for West’s contribution and said that it will improve their “capacity with new staff as we deliver the high-quality arts programming that our participants deserve.”

Donda’s House Creative Director and co-founder, Che "Rhymefest" Smith echoed Smith’s comments by noting how the rapper’s influence has made an impact on Chicago’s youth and the program.

“His leadership has enabled Donda’s House to grow quickly and impact the lives of over 160 of Chicago’s young people already in our short history,” he said. “This is a great honor and a true tribute to his mother’s legacy, who did so much for young artists."

Police Helping Taylor Swift Fan With Down Syndrome, Terminal Cancer Meet Her Idol

Some kind cops are working to make a Taylor Swift superfan's wish come true.

The Dover Police Department in Delaware, aka the department that's home to the sassy officer who sings Swift's "Shake It Off" in a viral video, is rallying people across the Internet to help Victoria Marsh -- a 13-year-old with Down syndrome who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, last year.

Victoria, who's also from Delaware, is a huge Taylor Swift fan and her dream has been to meet the singer. So the Dover police decided to help; they made a video called "Victoria's Wish," capturing the teen's battle with cancer as well as her love for Taylor.

"I now spend a lot of time at the hospital for chemotherapy treatments," the video, told from Victoria's point of view, states. "Taylor's music plays all night in my room on repeat. And when I can, I still dance and sing to her music."

The Dover Police Department is urging people to share the clip and tag it #SwiftAWish or #TeamVictoria in hopes that the superstar will see it and visit the teen or Facetime with her, according to the clip. The video was uploaded to the police department's Facebook page on Wednesday and already has more than 200,000 views.

The teen has had a difficult few months, beginning in December when she complained to her parents of pain in her ankle. She was diagnosed shortly after with osteosarcoma, and in February, had the lower half of her left leg amputated.

The officers had initially wanted to send Victoria to a Swift concert with tickets they had received from the artist's record label because of the viral video. But when the teen learned she couldn't attend because she needed to receive chemotherapy treatments, Cpl. Mark Hoffman, along with Victoria's mother Karen, came up with the video idea to get the star's attention.

They hope that the singer can make time for the cancer patient when she visits Philadelphia, one of the star's upcoming tour stops.

The carpet won't be the only thing red at the Hammerstein Ballroom Thursday night.

Dozens of Hollywood are supporting Red Nose Day -- a three-hour televised event held at the New York City venue raising awareness and funds for several nonprofits, including Feeding America, Save the Children and the United Way.

Although the show will raise money through a telethon, the NBC broadcast will be "very, very, very different" from the conventional method of fundraising, event creator and film writer-director Richard Curtis told The Associated Press.

The event -- which has raised more than 78 million British pounds, or about $122 million, in the U.K. since its inception in 1988, according to CNN -- will incorporate both live and pre-recorded segments. Funds donated toward past events have benefited a variety of causes, including the fight against AIDS in the developing world, enhancing children's access to education in Africa, and putting an end to domestic violence in the UK.

A long list of star supporters will be featured in the bits, including Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Christina Aguilera, Will Ferrell and Neil Patrick Harris, among others, the AP noted.

The event has also created quite the buzz online, as several celebrities have sported red noses on social media to draw attention to the event.

Scroll below to see some stars who sported red noses in recognition of the event. Learn more about Red Nose Day, airing at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday on NBC, and how you can support it here.

Josh Duggar Apologizes After Child Molestation Allegations Surface

Josh Duggar has apologized following reports that he was investigated for allegedly sexually molesting five underage girls, some of whom are his sisters.

In an statement posted on Facebook on Thursday, the 27-year-old who appears on TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," wrote:

Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption.


According to police reports obtained by In Touch, family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar allegedly waited more than a year before he turned in his then-teenage son over to Arkansas State Police for sex offenses, including forcible fondling. Due to a strange turn of events, the magazine reported that police were unable to conclude their investigation of the case, and the three-year statute of limitations prevented them from further pursuing any charges.

Today, Josh Duggar is married with with three children and a fourth due in July. The Washington Post reports he has now resigned as executive director of Tony Perkins' conservative and anti-gay group, Family Research Council Action.

Josh's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar also addressed the allegations on Facebook on Thursday:

Back 12 years ago our family went through one of the most difficult times of our lives. When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes and we were shocked. We had tried to teach him right from wrong. That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before. Even though we would never choose to go through something so terrible, each one of our family members drew closer to God. We pray that as people watch our lives they see that we are not a perfect family. We have challenges and struggles everyday. It is one of the reasons we treasure our faith so much because God’s kindness and goodness and forgiveness are extended to us — even though we are so undeserving. We hope somehow the story of our journey — the good times and the difficult times — cause you to see the kindness of God and learn that He can bring you through anything.


The Duggar family has starred on TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" for 10 seasons.

TLC has not responded to request for comment at this time.

Go home, Chris Pratt. You’re drunk.

In this YouTube video, produced by GQ, the 35-year-old “Jurassic World” star offers some terrible acting advice while chugging a bottle of Fireball whisky.

“We’re at the end of a GQ photoshoot and we’re supposed to do an acting DVD, acting video kind of bit for YouTube,” the actor says to the camera. “Truth is, it’s hot as hell and I’m drunk.”

Pratt’s acting lessons include scenarios like, "How to act when you see a T-Rex at a Jamba Juice” and “How to act when you get pulled over and you have weed in your glove compartment.”

Here he is demonstrating "How to act when you see a snake":

Jimmy Fallon And Dwayne Johnson's Terrible Graduation Speech Will Still Inspire You

If you've ever wondered why the valedictorian gets to speak at graduation when the students with the lowest grades who worked just as hard also went to school don't, this should probably answer your question.

On Thursday, "The Tonight Show" aired a video from a supposed 1989 high school graduation in which two students with lousy grades, Logan Duffy (who looks oddly similar to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and Bobby Ristick (who is Jimmy Fallon's doppelganger) shared some words of wisdom. Their advice included not getting caught up in fads like computers and accepting that graduation was the last time students would ever see each other.

"What do you think that one day we're all gonna keep in touch using some magical book with a bunch of faces in it? What would you even call that?" said Fallon -- er, Ristick.

Duffy, aka DuffTron-3000, added, "I'd call it a big sack of 'never gonna happen!'"

Their advice is pretty terrible, but you'll still probably feel inspired ... to do better in school.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.

This deleted "Mean Girls" scene is so fetch. (Yes, we're still trying to make fetch happen).

In the clip, available as an extra when you purchase the film on iTunes, Cady (Lindsay Lohan) encounters Regina (Rachel McAdams) in the bathroom at the school dance just before Spring Fling King and Queen are announced.

"I had this really expensive dollhouse from Germany," Regina tells Cady in a childhood anecdote that's really an apology about Aaron. "But I never played with it, so my mom wanted to give it to my cousin. But even though I didn’t want it ... "

"You begged your mom to let you keep it?" Cady asks.

"No, I threw it down the stairs," Regina says.

It's a sweet, emotional scene with a brief, hilarious cameo by Amy Poehler.

We'll be watching it on repeat to tide us over until the upcoming musical arrives.
