Happy frigid-ass New Year: Coldest NYE in 70 years awaits revelers in U.S.

Image
In Boston, officials planning annual First Night festivities don't have to worry about melting ice sculptures this year. In fact, with air temperatures tumbling toward the single digits on Sunday night, New Year's Eve is going to be so dangerously cold that event organizers have canceled all but the fireworks display.  In New York City, the ball drop in Times Square will take place amid the coldest weather since about 1962, when the temperature at midnight was a measly 1 degree Fahrenheit. The forecast air temperature at midnight is just 10 degrees above zero, with a wind chill of minus-5 to minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit.  Read more...

The Most Likable Movie Antiheroes

Image
What makes an antihero cool? Well, they’re usually pretty multi-dimensional. They possess villainous qualities, yes, but there are usually complex reasons behind their madness. And for all the devilish things they do, you often can’t help but root for them. Hollywood has given movie lovers some awesome antihero characters, but who are the best antiheroes in film? Movie antiheroes (and some villains – we as a society do like our bad boys) are often more memorable than the hero. Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver ), Michael Corleone (Al Pacino in The Godfather Trilogy ), Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle (Gene Hackman in The French Connection ), The Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy ), and Jim Stark (James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause ) are all legendary and iconic film characters that have influenced and impressed the world over. They all also happen to be anti heroes. This list of the greatest anti-hero film characters ranks these great characters

Pizzagate Conspiracy Theorists Take Dead Aim At Chrissy Teigen And John Legend

Image
Getty Image The Pizzagate conspiracy was one of the more shocking and crazy storylines to come out of Election 2016, hitting the mainstream one year ago after a gunman entered Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, DC and fired several shots. The gunman was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison for the act, but the conspiracy has not died down . It continues to pop up and the latest to garner wild accusations and claims online are Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend. It all seemed to start from a few harmless tweets involving Teigen’s child in some fun costumes, dressed like a hot dog and Alice from Alice In Wonderland . All things that wouldn’t seem odd, but soon the conspiracy theorists entered her timeline. Sometime after the saga of her flight to Japan that turned back halfway , some of them entered the replies. It seemed to reach a point of frustration for the model on Saturday, leading to her to post and speak out about some of the messages she receiv

Report: Ex-Trump Advisor George Papadopoulos Sparked The FBI Probe After Drunkenly Bragging The Russians Had Hillary Dirt

Image
Getty Image On the same day that Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted Paul Manafort in the DOJ’s Russia probe, the New York Times broke the story of former Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos pleading guilty (in October) to lying to the FBI. The false statements in question reportedly took place as part of an FBI probe that began in January. And despite the White House attempting to distance itself from Papadopoulos by calling him a “low-level volunteer” and “coffee boy,” the NY Times now reveals how the Trump political advisor’s drunken rambling to an Australian diplomat (about Russia having Hillary dirt) is what led the FBI to dig into collusion with Russia. The report is notable for multiple reasons, including a pointed mention of how the notorious Trump/Russia dossier (which included “golden showers” and was allegedly funded by the DNC ) was not the reason the FBI started probing over Russia. Instead, Papadopolous’ boasts to a diplomat from one of America’s great
