Why Is Trump's Embrace of the Philippines President Problematic?
Trump's election was symptomatic of an international trend toward populism and antiestablishment leadership. Rodrigo Duterte, who was elected President of the Philippines a few months before Trump, is not exactly a benevolent dealmaker. When Trump invited Duterte to visit the White House on April 30, during a "very friendly conversation," both Republicans and Democrats expressed their concern - and for good reason.
Duterte ran his campaign promising to eradicate crime and target drug users as well as dealers. Since ascending to power, Duterte instigated what has come to be described as "death squads" or extrajudicial crime-fighters who have slaughtered more than 7,000 drug users and distributors across the country. Perhaps more troubling is Duterte's defense of the killings. In a September speech after he secured the presidency, Duterte expressed a troubling comparison between the Holocaust and his war on drugs.
"Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now there is 3 million, what is it, 3 million drug addicts (in the Philippines)," Duterte said. "I'd be happy to slaughter them. At least if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have (me)."
Duterte's praise of Hitler is sadly not the first time he has disturbed human rights activists. During his campaign, Duterte proudly admitted to killing addicts when he was mayor of Davao City. "(I'd) go around Davao with a motorcycle, with big bike around and I would just patrol the streets and looking for trouble also," said Duterte. "I was really looking for an encounter so I could kill."
If you haven't guessed it yet, Duterte is definitely not a leader the United States wants to align itself with. But that didn't seem to concern Trump who also, according to Duterte's spokesman, expressed understanding about the Philippines' drug problems.
Republicans, Democrats, and even members of Trump's own administration have criticized the president's embrace of Duterte. Though Trump's affinity for Duterte is unsurprising given their similar inflammatory dispositions, Trump's tacit approval of crimes against humanity is troubling.
John Sifton, who heads Human Rights Watch's East Asia division, told The New York Times that Trump should be ashamed. "By essentially endorsing Duterte's murderous war on drugs, Trump is now morally complicit in future killings," said Sifton.
It doesn't seem that Duterte will be visiting the White House anytime soon, however. The Philippines leader said he might be too busy to accept Trump's invitation. "I am tied up. I cannot make any definite promise," Duterte told reporters on May 1. "I am supposed to go to Russia, I am supposed to go to Israel."
The Force Is With Daisy Ridley in This Stunning Oscar de la Renta Dress
The Met Gala is in full swing, and the Force is definitely working in Daisy Ridley's favor. The Star Wars: The Last Jedi actress walked the red carpet in a custom black and white Oscar de la Renta gown. The design featured a high-low hemline and bold floral pattern. If you look closely, you'll notice that the structure of the dress is tiered and gathered in areas. She finished off her look with black ankle-strapped heels. Ahead, have a look at her Met Gala ensemble.
Joan Smalls Is Pure Punk and Heat in a Fiery Red Dress at the Met Gala
On a regular red carpet, the old saying goes, red must be avoided, but not at the 2017 Met Gala. The event celebrating Comme des Garcons's Rei Kawakubo was meant to be flooded with scarlet gowns galore, since the shade is one the designer loves. Joan Smalls definitely got the memo, wearing a Topshop red dress with a low-cut neckline, a high slit, and side cutouts. Can you say sexy?
The dress was so punk, with tiny silver studs and chain details around the trimming, which is why Joan paired it with a fake lip ring and a few cartilage studs. Keep reading to see Joan's very on-theme dress, then remember her crystal gown from last year's gala.
If You Love Boobs, You'll Love This Ad For Breast Cancer Awareness
Here's the thing: social media still censors photos of breasts that include nipples, even if the photo is for breast cancer awareness. Why is this a big deal? Because women need to know what they're looking for to detect breast cancer. Thanks to this type of censorship, people can't circulate photos of actual breasts, so a photo of lemons emulating signs of breast cancer went viral. Seriously. It's a dozen lemons in an egg carton. We can't show boobs with breast cancer, but bring on the lemons with lumps!
Argentina's MACMA: Movimiento Ayuda Cáncer de Mama created the #EverybodyLovesBoobs song and campaign to break through censorship in the cheekiest of ways. This video is hilarious, albeit mildly disturbing, but shares a lot of truths about the impact of breast cancer.
Pharrell Williams and His Wife Are at the Met Gala, and Twitter Is Having a Field Day
Pharrell Williams is one of this year's cochairs at the annual Met Gala, but all eyes were on his wife, Helen Lasichanh. It didn't take long for social media to blow up with comparisons of Helen's Commes des Garcons look to everything from the Kool-Aid Man to the "thinking chair" from Blue's Clues. Sigh. Yes, yes, Helen's look is over the top - but hey, at least she stuck to the theme? Many other Twitter users called out Pharrell for dialing it down a bit too much.

CBS News Anchors Failed to Ask Ivanka Trump Any Policy Questions in Her Latest Interview
No matter how accomplished a woman is, she will undoubtedly encounter gendered questions about her day-to-day life in interviews. Ivanka Trump, who just landed a position in the White House, is no different. During an unplanned appearance on CBS News's White House broadcast on May 1, the hosts chatted with Trump for roughly 10 minutes and failed to ask her a single question on policy or her work.
Instead, hosts Gayle King, Charlie Rose, and Erica Hill questioned Trump about adjusting to life in DC, her kids, and whether she ever sees her husband Jared Kushner (presumably because he is also busy in her father's administration).
"It has been adjustment for our family," said Trump. "But it's actually a really lovely place to live. The museums are incredible. There's space, which is nice. I think in New York you lack that."
Trump also talked about her standing date with her daughter to explore the city's landmarks. "There's really a lot to do. I think there's a lot to do in New York as well," Trump said. "But I think when you've grown up in a place, you actually take it for granted a little bit more. So we've been having fun."
In all fairness, the interview was spontaneous. The interview occurred because Trump popped her head into the room where CBS was filming. The hosts then convinced her to briefly appear on the broadcast - which accounts for some of the interview's levity - and the hosts seemed to recognize the conversation's superficiality.
"We want to invite you back here for serious conversations about what you're doing," Rose added. "We sort of coaxed you to sit down and you weren't expecting it." Kushner also makes an unexpected appearance in the background of the interview, though the hosts were unsuccessful in persuading him to join his wife on the broadcast.
Given that the Trump administration has already rolled back programs that benefit women and children, causes Trump has said she champions, perhaps Trump's next interview will elicit more concrete answers. The public definitely deserves to hear why she allowed the administration to scrap former First Lady Michelle Obama's Let Girls Learn initiative.

Claire Danes Wore the Complete Opposite of a Princess Ballgown to the Met Gala
Claire Danes did a complete 180 from her Met Gala look last year. She didn't arrive in a Cinderella-esque ball gown; instead she wore a deconstructed blouse and black trousers from Monse, a look fresh off the Fall 2017 runway. The ruffled ensemble stood in sharp contrast to Claire's previous feminine look. This year's outfit was edgier for the star and definitely a bolder choice, which Claire seemingly rocked with confidence.
There's also one other thing. Claire's top may remind you of Jerry Seinfeld. Specifically, the ruffles bared an uncanny resemblance to a blouse Jerry wore in the "Puffy Shirt" episode, though if you ask us, Claire pulled hers off flawlessly. Read on to see Claire's full look, and let us know if you see the similarities.

We were fully prepared for Jennifer Lopez to show up at the 2017 Met Gala in New York City wearing a dress like the ones she's worn in the past: revealing, tight, risqué, sexy. Instead, what we got was a light blue Valentino dress that didn't show one. single. bit of skin.
Don't get us wrong, the powdery gown was gorgeous, featuring a sheer tulle overlay, turtleneck, and long train. It was so totally Old Hollywood and completely unexpected. But that's J Lo for you - she'll never cease to amaze us with her fashion choices. Scroll ahead for a closer look at her gown.
Katy Perry Went to the Met Gala Looking Like Melisandre From Game of Thrones
Since Katy Perry was announced as a cochair of the 2017 Met Gala, we had the highest expectations for her outfit on fashion's biggest night. She instantly had heads turning, fully embracing the Rei Kawakubo theme, wearing a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal ensemble designed by John Galliano.
Katy wore a red embroidered wool coat around her tulle and silk chiffon dress, which was covered in shining embellishments, and her Melisandre-like look turned the red carpet into a scene from Game of Thrones.

Is Walt Disney World Adding a 4th Mountain Attraction to the Magic Kingdom?
What's better than three mountain-themed attractions at Walt Disney World? Four mountain-themed attractions, obviously. Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain are already Magic Kingdom favorites, but another attraction may be on its way - and the concept for it is actually pretty old. In the early 2000s, rumors flew that an attraction called Fire Mountain would be potentially making its way to the park, but the idea for the indoor flying roller coaster never became a reality.
Fast-forward to the present, where Disney is fresh off the heels of Moana's success. What better way to revisit an idea for a volcano mountain attraction than by incorporating elements from the newest film into the ride? The mountain ride would theoretically be built in the Adventureland section of the Magic Kingdom, but there are no confirmed reports . . . yet. Still, we can all dream about a fire-filled flying roller coaster featuring our newest favorite Disney princess, right? Check back for any future developments!

Look Fast and You Might Miss the Intricate Details on Gisele Bündchen's Met Gala Dress
It's safe to say all eyes were on Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady at this year's Met Gala. The power couple served as the glamorous evening's cochairs, so naturally expectations were high for how they'd be dressing for the occasion. And boy, did they deliver!
As soon as the duo stepped on the red carpet, we couldn't help but focus on Gisele's dress (although Tom did look rather dapper, as per usual). From far away, it looks like a rather muted choice considering the avant-garde theme of the evening, but a quick zoom reveals some highly intricate detailing. A gorgeous pewter Stella McCartney number, the long-sleeved gown featured all-over glass-bead embroidery, not to mention those killer cutouts that showed a little a lot of back. Paired with a marble-print box clutch, Gisele looked as glam as can be for the evening.
Ahead, see her picture-perfect look from every single angle.

The Great Blue Hole in Belize Is an Unbelievable Natural Wonder Visible From Space
The "Great Blue Hole" couldn't be a more fitting name for the underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize. The circular site, which can be viewed from space, has become a bucket-list destination for travelers and scuba divers alike. At 984 feet wide and 410 feet deep, the dark blue hole is located at the center of an atoll called Lighthouse Reef. Though the sinkhole appears to continue down an infinite depth, an island of coral that outlines the circle rests in much shallower turquoise Caribbean waters. Parts of the ring are even exposed during low tides, showing the contrast in water levels.
The massive hole wasn't always submerged underwater. During the Earth's glacial period when the sea level was much lower, the Great Blue Hole originally formed as a limestone cave. But as the ocean began to rise, the cave flooded and eventually collapsed, becoming the popular dive site it is today. The former cave's calcium salt deposits, which look like yellow icicles, are still preserved and can be seen on one's swim.
It wasn't until 1971 when Jacques Cousteau explored the site and confirmed its origins that the site became world-famous. Supposedly, the deeper you dive, the clearer the water becomes and the more complex geological formations appear. It's also believed that the Great Blue Hole is the largest of its kind.
See the breathtaking photos ahead!

Nancy Pelosi: "I Never Thought I'd Pray For the Day" Bush Was President
.@NancyPelosi to @jonkarl: "I never thought I'd pray for the day" when George W. Bush was president again https://t.co/F3g5VI54Ob #ThisWeek http://pic.twitter.com/0jjtChRh3w
- This Week (@ThisWeekABC) April 30, 2017
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had a slip of the tongue when she accidentally referred to President Donald Trump as former President George W. Bush during an interview on ABC's The Week. Pelosi sat down with Jonathan Karl to discuss President Trump's first 100 days in office and how the Democratic party could work with him, but it wasn't until she mixed the names up that the interview really escalated.
"Winning means winning for the American people, that either we win or whoever wins understands the priorities of the American people," she said. "And they are not with President Bush." Um. . .
"Excuse me!" she said, after catching her mistake. "I'm so sorry, President Bush. I never thought I'd pray for the day that you were president again."
Liberals could not stand President Bush - and he frequently pops up on lists of our nation's worst-ever presidents - but Pelosi seems to be saying that even Bush's most dismal approval ratings are nothing compared to the way President Trump is viewed by the Democratic leaders and left-leaning citizens.
This isn't the first time that liberals have spoken out about the ironic comparison between Trump and Bush. During Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Will Ferrell brought back his notorious George W. Bush impression to laugh about the times when he "was considered the worst president of all time."
"I needed eight years, a catastrophic flood, a war built on a lie, and an economic disaster," Ferrell said as Bush. "The new guy only needed 100 days. He is widely considered the worst president of all time. I came in second. I'm fine with that. No one remembers second place."

Blake Lively's Met Gala Dress Is SO Much Different Than Last Year's
Just hours before arriving at the Met Gala, Blake Lively dropped a subtle hint about her ensemble for the evening, and it seems like this year's look is so not what we're expecting from the actress. Last year, she waltzed the red carpet looking like a Spring goddess in a stunning light-pink Burberry dress with floral embellishments. But according to the teaser she just posted on Instagram, she'll be going a different route this time around.
In the throwback photo, Blake dons an outfit with a high neck, three-quarter-length sleeves, and supershort hemline, which is a complete 180 from her 2016 outfit. Be sure to check back later in the night to see what Blake ends up wearing!
The USPS Is Releasing These Insanely Cool Stamps You'll Actually Want to Collect
Get yourself a pen pal because you're going to want to snatch up these collectible stamps from the US Postal Service. The USPS is releasing a commemorative stamp that changes into the upcoming solar eclipse on Aug. 21 simply by pressing your finger on it.
The stamp, which will be released on June 20, uses thermochromic ink to change the image of the solar eclipse into the moon. Both the photo of the moon and the solar eclipse was taken by astrophysicist Fred Espenak, from a previous solar eclipse seen on March 29, 2006 from Jalu, Libya.
If you want to save the stamp as part of a collection, the USPS will also sell a special envelope to hold it. Using the stamps for normal mail? You don't need the envelope, but you should keep the stamp out of direct sunlight, advises the USPS.

In addition to the attractions we know and love from Disneyland and Disney World, there are so many uniquely wonderful things about the Japanese parks, from the creative and delicious food to the stunning Disney hotels. And, of course, they also have their own twists on classic rides and attractions only available to them.
There are two parks that make up Tokyo Disney - Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea - and while this isn't the perfect comparison, Tokyo DisneySea is like Disney California Adventure while Tokyo Disneyland is more like Disneyland or Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Here, I'm going to share the six things I loved best about the Tokyo Disneyland park (not DisneySea). They are like nothing you'll see in the States!
The USPS Is Releasing These Insanely Cool Stamps You'll Actually Want to Collect
Get yourself a pen pal because you're going to want to snatch up these collectible stamps from the US Postal Service. The USPS is releasing a commemorative stamp that changes into the upcoming solar eclipse on Aug. 21 simply by pressing your finger on it.
The stamp, which will be released on June 20, uses thermochromic ink to change the image of the solar eclipse into the moon. Both the photo of the moon and the solar eclipse was taken by astrophysicist Fred Espenak, from a previous solar eclipse seen on March 29, 2006 from Jalu, Libya.
If you want to save the stamp as part of a collection, the USPS will also sell a special envelope to hold it. Using the stamps for normal mail? You don't need the envelope, but you should keep the stamp out of direct sunlight, advises the USPS.
Blake Lively's Met Gala Dress Is SO Much Different Than Last Year's
Just hours before arriving at the Met Gala, Blake Lively dropped a subtle hint about her ensemble for the evening, and it seems like this year's look is so not what we're expecting from the actress. Last year, she waltzed the red carpet looking like a Spring goddess in a stunning light-pink Burberry dress with floral embellishments. But according to the teaser she just posted on Instagram, she'll be going with a different route this time around.
In the throwback photo, Blake dons an outfit with a high neck, three-quarter-length sleeves, and supershort hemline, which is a complete 180 from her 2016 outfit. Be sure to check back later in the night to see what Blake ends up wearing!

20 Fyre Festival Tweets You'll Feel Bad For Laughing At
The ill-fated Fyre Festival might go down in history as one of music's biggest fails: what was originally billed as a "once-in-a-lifetime musical experience" quickly became a complete disaster. The festival, held on the small island of Exuma in the Bahamas, was the brainchild of rapper Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland (who have since issued public apologies and are reportedly facing a $100 million lawsuit). Within minutes of arriving on the island on Friday, fans - who had paid between $4,000 and $20,000 for the weekend - realized they had been hoodwinked, and the jokes pretty much wrote themselves. Here are 20 social media reactions to Fyre Festival that you'll feel kind of bad for laughing at.

Flip or Flop's Tarek and Christina El Moussa Hit the Red Carpet Together After Split
While some celebrity couples can get downright nasty after splitting up, Tarek and Christina El Moussa are definitely not one of them. The stars of HGTV's Flip or Flop, who called it quits in late 2016 after seven years of marriage, were all smiles when they attended the Daytime Emmys together on Sunday. Christina, who recently showed off her amazing bikini body during a getaway to Hawaii in April, happily posed for photos with her ex on the red carpet at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.
Despite their split, Tarek and Christina, who share daughter Taylor, 6, and son Brayden, 20 months, continue to work together. "We'll be together for the rest of our lives because we have kids," Tarek told Us Weekly in March. "We need to get along for the kids and for our sanity." Christina also told ET in March that they are "actually getting along really, really well right now" and "letting go of past resentment, living in the future and remembering that kids are the priority." Their hit show was also recently picked up for an eighth season.
Justin Timberlake Has Incited a Joyous Riot With 4 Words
Justin Timberlake is well aware of the "It's Gonna Be May" meme, and he, too, thinks it's hilarious.

It's so simple yet so funny. Justin Timberlake is just living his life, knowing every May 1 we're all sitting around hoping to hear from him. (OK, maybe you're not sitting around waiting, but I am.)

7 Times Trump Proved He Knows Nothing About History
During an interview with SiriusXM, President Donald Trump demonstrated, once again, that he lacks a basic understanding of American history by suggesting former President Andrew Jackson could've stopped the Civil War had he been the president at the time.
"I mean, had Andrew Jackson been a little later, you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart," Trump claimed. "And he was really angry that . . . he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said, 'There's no reason for this.'"
Trump followed with another bizarre assertion. "People don't realize, you know, the Civil War - if you think about it, why," Trump wondered. "People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?"
There's only one problem with Trump's postulation: Jackson died a decade before the Civil War started, so he couldn't have had an opinion on the crisis. Perhaps even less shocking than Trump's erroneous contention about Jackson is Trump's constant and consistent misunderstanding of history. Prepare to shake your head at six other times Trump proved he knows very little about the country he is supposed to run, nor much about countries he is supposed to liaise with.
1. When he seemed to think Frederick Douglass was alive.
During Trump's speech honoring Black History Month on Feb. 1, he suggested that the abolitionist was still alive. Trump described Douglass as "someone who has done a terrific job that is being recognized by more and more people." His comments were ridiculed across social media.
2. When he appeared to forget that Richard Nixon resigned because he broke the law.
In an interview on April 2 with The Washington Post's Bob Woodward, who broke the Watergate story that lead to Nixon's impeachment, Trump implied that Nixon failed because of his personality. Woodward asked Trump why he thought Lincoln succeeded and Nixon didn't. Trump blamed Nixon's temperament.
"Nixon failed, I think to a certain extent, because of his personality," Trump told Woodward. "It was just that personality. Very severe, very exclusive. In other words, people couldn't come in. And people didn't like him. I mean, people didn't like him."
Given that Woodward published the story which lead to Nixon's resignation, Trump's error is fairly astounding - and Woodward had to remind Trump that Nixon was a criminal. "And he broke the law," Woodward added.
Trump's response is hesitant, but he acknowledged Nixon's crimes. "And he broke the law, yeah. Yeah. He broke the law. Whether that's insecurity . . ." said Trump.
3. When he didn't realize that the Republican party used to be called "The Party of Lincoln."
At a rally in Louisville, KY, on March 20, Trump apparently did not realize the Republican party is often referred to as Lincoln's party. "Great president. Most people don't even know he was a Republican," Trump said. "Does anyone know? Lot of people don't know that."
4. When he confused North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with his grandfather, Kim Jong Il.
While being interviewed on Fox & Friends about North Korean aggression on April 18, Trump conflated current leader Kim Jong Un with his predecessor and grandfather Kim Jong Il.
"They've been talking with this gentleman for a long time," Trump said of America's dialogue with North Korea. "You read Clinton's book, he said, 'Oh, we made such a great peace deal,' and it was a joke." Later, Trump continued to assert his misunderstanding. "Everybody has been outplayed, they've all been outplayed by this gentleman, and we'll see what happens," Trump added with reference to Obama's negotiations.
Trump was evidently unaware that Kim Jong Un has only been in power since 2011 - after the death of his grandfather. So, both Clinton and Obama have deliberated with both leaders - not just one "gentleman" as Trump insinuates.
5. When he said that North Korea used to be apart of China.
Following Trump's meeting with the President of China Xi Jinping, Trump revealed yet another misunderstanding of global history on April 12. Describing his meeting with Xi and their discussion of North Korea, Trump asserted that North Korea was once a part of China. Not only was he wrong, Trump implied that Xi delivered this information. Koreans were outraged by Trump's comments.
6. When the administration failed to mention Jews specifically in its statement for Holocaust Memorial Day
On January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, the White House released a particularly tone-deaf statement. While it acknowledged "the victims, survivors, heroes" of the Holocaust, the White House's release did not specifically recognize the six million Jews who died. Many Americans took the administration's omission as an act of anti-Semitism.
