The Rock Singing To His Daughter On Her Birthday Is The Best Thing You’ll See Today

2016 was an exciting year for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, his debut in Disney’s “Moana” and of course, his youngest daughter, Jasmine’s, first birthday!

Johnson is a father to two daughters. His oldest daughter is 15-year-old Simone Alexander with first wife Dany Garcia, and his youngest daughter, 1-year-old Jasmine with his girlfriend Lauren Hashian. Jasmine turned 1 on Dec. 16, and you have to see Johnson singing happy birthday to her! He posted the video to his Instagram account recently, and it is the cutest thing you will see today.

He captioned the post “Teaching ’em young to start applauding the moment daddy starts singing. Smart girl. Answering my egotistical questions is clearly a work in progress;). Happy 1st Birthday baby girl. Got you for life. #Aiga #PuaMana” As you’ll see, Jasmine claps right along.

This is not Jasmine’s first appearnace on the Rock’s Instagram. She’s actually made an appearance several times on her dad’s account, each post cuter than the next!

One of her first appearances was on her 4-month birthday. Look at those eyes!

And again on Labor Day, playing the game “Drum time on daddy’s big head.”

And then a video to show the “Drum on daddy’s big head” game in action!

Apparently Johnson does more than just sing, he also has some dance moves! Check out the video of him dancing while dressed as a Pikachu for Halloween (Jasmine’s favorite character).

Happy birthday isn’t the only signing that Johnson has been up to lately. He had quite the performance as the demigod Maui in Disney’s “Moana”! Check him out singing “You’re Welcome,” in “Moana” below!

We think Johnson has future in singing ahead of him, and we hope he keeps posting Instagram’s of his adorable daughter Jasmine!

Watch George Michael In The First-Ever “Carpool Karaoke” With James Corden

So many of us are mourning the untimely death of singer George Michael, who passed away on Christmas Day at the young age of 53. Our newsfeeds are full of photos and videos of the incomparable Michael. But, here’s one you may not have seen yet. Did you know Michael was the first-ever celebrity guest on “Carpool Karaoke”?

On the off chance you’re not familiar, “Carpool Karaoke” is one of the most popular segments on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” Here’s how the famous schtick works: Corden invites the musical guests on his show to drive around Los Angeles with him. While they’re in the car (and being recorded), Corden jokes with the celebrities and sings along to some of their top hits.

Way back when, Michael was the first musical guest to appear in Corden’s car. If you haven’t seen the video of the two, watch it below! We have to warn you, though, this video will bring back all the feels and we suggest you have a box of tissues nearby.

Corden sent out a tweet about Michael’s tragic passing on Dec. 25, paying tribute to one of his idols.

Check out some other facts you may not know about the late, great George Michael below.

1. His full name was Giorgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.

George Michael rolls off the tongue a little bit easier!

2. George Michael was only 17 when he wrote “Careless Whisper.”

The inspiration came to him as he was taking the bus to his job as an usher at a movie theater.

3. He contributed background vocals to Elton John.

Michael sang in Elton John’s 1985 successes “Nikita” and “Wrap Her Up”.

4. He was almost a part of Queen.

He was once considered to replace Queen’s lead Freddie Mercury.

5. Wham! was the first Western pop group to tour in China.

This tour generated worldwide media coverage in 1985.

6. He released three albums as a member of Wham!, and five as a solo artist.

And we can’t decide which album we like best!

7. The song “I Want Your Sex” was banned by numerous radio stations in the U.K. and U.S.

The song was banned because of its sexually-explicit lyrics. Some radio stations replaced the word “sex” with “love.”

8. Throughout his career, he won 21 music awards.

And a total of 49 nominations!

9. Russian President and billionaire Vladimir Putin paid him $3 million for an hour-long concert.

The concert was part of a New Year’s Eve party in Moscow in 2007.

10. There have been over 400 covers of “Last Christmas” since its release in 1984.

I think we can all agree George Michael’s version is the best.

Rest in peace, George Michael. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful voice and talent.

He’s here! Vanessa and Nick Lachey have welcomed a third child into their family!

The famous couple happily welcomed baby boy Phoenix Robert into the world on Christmas Eve! The birth was announced through a photo on Vanessa’s Instagram posted on Monday. The snap shows baby Phoenix holding his mother’s fingers.

Vanessa captioned the photo “It’s a very Merry Christmas indeed” and referred to baby Phoenix Robert Lachey as their early “Christmas Miracle.”

The announcement that a third child was on the way was made back in September, through another post on  Vanessa’s Instagram account. The caption read: “We got a new crib! Now we need a new CRIB!” The photo showed Vanessa cradling her baby bump and posing in front of the family’s new home along with Nick and their two older children, son Camden, 5, and daughter Brooklyn, 11 months. Baby Phoenix officially makes the adorable celebrity family a #LacheyPartyOf5.

??????????? #LacheyPartyOf5… and Wookie! ❤️

And just when you think Vanessa’s Instagram couldn’t get any cuter, she posts this video of Nick finding out that they are having a baby boy! Camden approaches his dad with a big blue balloon to spill the beans.

Nick Lachey has expressed in the past how much he enjoys being a dad. Lachey opened up to People after Camden’s birth.

I had a lot of expectations for what fatherhood would be because I thought about it for so long but when it happens, it blows your mind every day. This little creature that you created, that looks to you and depends on you, and just brings you so much joy, you just can’t put it into any kind of words. Your kids are the biggest blessing you could ever possibly have in life.

Congratulations, Vanessa and Nick, on your growing family!

‘Avatar’-Themed Park Is Coming To Disney World This Summer And It Looks Amazing!

The folks at Disney always seem to have new surprises up their sleeves. Recently, the company confirmed that it will be adding three new themed attractions to the complex: “Star Wars” Land, “Toy Story” Land and an “Avatar”-themed park called Pandora: The World of Avatar. While Disney has not announced opening dates for the “Star Wars” and “Toy Story” attractions, both located in Hollywood Studios, the expected opening of Pandora has been announced.

The anticipation is finally over! Pandora will open its doors to the public in summer 2017. Pandora: The World of Avatar will be located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in in Orlando, Florida. James Cameron, director of the 2009 movie “Avatar,” and Disney Imagineers have been working diligently to ensure that this new attraction  is a fully-immersive experience for guests, and from the looks of the video below, they have done just that!

 

The Avatar you see at the end is an actual animatronic from the new park! The lifelike appearance is breathtaking in a video, so can you imagine seeing it in person? Read on for more fun facts about the development of The World of Avatar as well as what you can expect when the park opens this summer.

Construction for the park began in 2014. The first concept art was released in February 2015. The park includes the iconic floating mountains from the movie. The park will be filled with hundreds of exotic-looking plants, including a replication of the bioluminescent forest, which will appear differently both day and night—creating two totally different environments!

And of course, a world wouldn’t be complete without attractions, dinning and shopping. The park will feature two new attractions, “Avatar: Flight of Passage” and “The Na’vi River Journey,” as well as some fun dining and shopping spots.

The Avatar: Flight of Passage attraction will take you on the back of a mountain banshee, the giant bird-like animals that are also seen in the film. This attraction will be similar to Disney’s Epcot ride Soarin’. You’ll be plunging and diving and exploring the world of Pandora.

The Na’vi River Journey will be a boat ride through the bioluminescent forest, an attraction the whole family will love!

The Satu’li Canteen will be the main restaurant in the park. Enjoy a good meal and also take a look at Na’vi art and other cultural items. Wind Traders will be the main shopping destination in the park. Find science kits, toys and more! Pongo Pongu will be the spot to grab a festive, “Avatar”-themed drink on those hot summer days!

So, are you currently booking your trip to Disney World for this summer? We know we are!

You Can Watch All Of Your Favorite Classic Disney Movies Through This Streaming Service

$

We have exciting news for Disney fans! You will soon be able to stream many of your favorite Disney movies.

Hulu has recently acquired all of the streaming rights to over 50 Disney classics in a multi-year deal, according to Deadline. That means Hulu subscribers will be able to indulge in timeless films like “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Mulan,” “Hercules,” “Pocahontas” and “Air Bud.” Newer hits such as “Lilo & Stitch,” “Tarzan,” “The Emperors New Groove,” “Muppet Treasure Island,” “The Princess and the Frog” are also included in the deal.

Many of these movies will now become Hulu exclusives in the world of internet streaming subscriptions. Previously, you may have seen a few of these movies on Netflix. However, that will not be the case anymore. Netflix may be getting the newly released Disney movies, but Hulu will win the classics!

screen-shot-2016-12-28-at-4-07-07-pm
YouTube/xFliiy

Hulu’s Head of Content, Craig Erich, shared some of the motive behind this deal with Deadline:

The Disney brand is synonymous with beloved movies that the whole family can enjoy. Expanding our offering of top-rated kids and family programming has been a top priority for us, and we know viewers will love watching these films over and over again on our service.

This is not the first deal struck between Disney and Hulu. Hulu is partly owned by Disney, and you can already find numerous Disney movies and shows on the streaming giant. In fact, earlier this year, Hulu reached a deal with Disney-ABC Television Group to live stream the Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior. In addition to this, Hulu gained 20 Disney Channel Original Movies.

The addition of these classic flicks to Hulu will be something the whole family will enjoy—and it will likely make family movie night that much better. We imagine Hulu subscriptions will be on the rise after this news—especially in households with children!

9 Ideas For Simple, Meaningful Family Traditions To Start In 2017

$
0
0

It’s that time of year again! One year is coming to a close, and another is about to begin. While there is the typical tradition of staying up late and watching the ball drop, New Year’s is an opportunity to start some new, meaningful family traditions.

Here are nine ideas for family traditions that will help make the new year extra-special, and that the whole family will love!

1. Good Things Jar

Each week, write down one good thing that happened during the week on a piece of paper and place it in the jar. Open the jar on New Year’s Eve the following year and reminisce about the amazing year you had!

2. Take A Family Photo

Take a family photo and include the year by holding up cardboard numbers! It will be fun to see how your family changes from year to year, and great to look back on later in life.

3. Family Service Day

Decide as a family where you would like to volunteer on New Year’s Day. This is a great way to spend time with your family and give back to your community. Start the new year on a positive note!

4. Take Down Christmas Decorations

Out with the old and in with the new! While many people take down the Christmas tree the day after Christmas, try taking down Christmas decorations on New Year’s Day (maybe while giving those Christmas albums one last listen of the season). This will bring the family together and close out the holiday season.

5. Box Of Goals

Have everyone in the family write one goal each month. Place the goals at the start of the month into a wooden box. Each month, take out the goal from the previous month and review how family members did! A fun way to actively achieve goals as a family.

6. Leave The Past Behind

Leave the past behind and have everyone in your family privately write down a regret from the pervious year on a piece of paper. Then have a bonfire and throw the pieces of paper into the fire. Start the new year fresh!

7. Family Meal

Whether it’s a Sauerkraut dinner for good luck, or a pancake breakfast with numbered pancakes representing the year to come (try using these), sitting down for a family meal to celebrate the new year is a fantastic way to end one year and start another! (And hopefully a good way to carry this tradition throughout the year ahead.)

8. Daily Family Hug

We know busy families can feel like ships passing in the night, which is why something like a daily family hug is a great way to pause and love on each other, if only for a few seconds. Is this a little cheesy? You bet, but it’s also super-sweet and likely to lead to some laughs.

9. Topsy Turvy Day

Today’s the day to do things a little differently. Every so often, surprise your kids with ice cream for dinner or a breakfast picnic in the backyard. Maybe take it a step further and wear your clothes backwards. Whatever you do, shake it up and have fun!

Find a tradition that works best for your family and have fun establishing a meaningful new activity (or two!) in the new year.

15 Celebrity Children Who Look Exactly Like Their Famous Parents

It’s not unusual for kids to look like their parents—that’s genetics, after all.

However, the resemblance between some celebrity parents and their children is almost unsettling! You will not believe your eyes at some of the uncanny similarities among the duos. From Ava Philippe looking like Elle Woods’ doppelganger, to Scott Eastwood taking us back to the days of “Dirty Harry,” I think it’s safe to say that some of these famous kids could easily be mistaken for their celebrity parent.

Take a look for yourself and be prepared to be amazed!

This Duo Is Set To Sing The “Beauty And The Beast” Theme Song And We Are So Excited

As an avid Disney fan, and longtime “Beauty and the Beast” fan, my anticipation for the new live-action “Beauty and the Beast” builds with each new announcement about the film.

And this announcement is one we have all been waiting for! Who will sing the the classic “Beauty and the Beast” theme song?

After all, this song is a big deal! It is the moment Belle and the Beast truly fall in love. In case you somehow forgot how magical this song is, take a look at the clip from the original animated movie below.

The original version of this song, written by Alan Mencken and Howard Ashman, and made famous by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe AND a Grammy Award in 1991. (No pressure!)

So now that you are officially once again obsessed with this song, it’s time to reveal who will take on the ballad in the upcoming live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.” Skepticism stemmed after Ariana posted a photo on her Instagram of her in the recording studio with a simple rose as the caption, but we’re excited to hear her version wit her unique voice.

?

A photo posted by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on

Since then, Oh My Disney has confirmed that the duet for the new live-action film, which comes out on March 17, will be recorded by none other than Ariana Grande and John Legend! The two power houses have incredible voices, and I do think Grande and Legend will do the song justice (and then some!).

However, I can’t help but wish the beloved Mrs. Potts, Angela Lansbury, would be singing the iconic song in the film. There’s something nostalgic about the voice of Angela Lansbury singing Disney’s most iconic love song. Here’s Lansbury, now 91, singing the song at the 25th special anniversary screening back in September, and it brings back all the feels!

Grande and Legend have some big shoes to fill in singing one of the most timeless tracks ever! Do you think they are up for the challenge?

The “Beauty and the Beast” soundtrack will be released March 10 in advance of the film’s premiere.

Meet The Family That Actually Lives In ‘The Bachelor’ Mansion

We’re now in the midst of season 21 of the hit TV series ‘The Bachelor,” and you may think you know everything there is to know about the series. You’ve seen the rose ceremonies, the drama, the exotic dates and, occasionally, a love blossom before your eyes at the famous “Bachelor Mansion.” Well, be prepared to have your mind blown!

ISxrenuxvfpi1v (1)
Zillow

The mansion, the set of “The Bachelor,” is actually a place that a real, live family—the Haraden family—calls home. Yes, believe it or not, a family of six lives in the home that is widely known as “The Bachelor” mansion. We’re shocked to find out that the gorgeous mansion is not ABC-owned property, but is actually owned by a real family that lives there full-time when “The Bachelor” isn’t filming.

Here are the four lovely Harden children.

Marshall Haraden and his wife built the 9,000-square-foot home in 2004 with no idea of the mansion’s fate.

They were approached by the producers of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” and the rest is history. The two shows have filmed there for nearly a decade now, starting with Brad Womack’s season in 2007. (The one exception was Emily Maynard’s Bachelorette season, which was filmed in her hometown of Charlotte!)

Twice a year, for 42 days, the family moves out of the home and sends everything—literally everything—they own to storage.

The mansion transforms during those 42 days, as all new furniture and decorations are brought in. Rooms are repainted according to whether “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” is filming. Once the “hometown dates” roll around, the home is restored to its former glory, exactly as the Haradens left it!

Sounds pretty amazing right? Haraden does share some of the downsides to this arrangement. One of the most glaring is that viewers don’t understand that when show is on TV, it is not filming.

Haraden shares with TODAY, “People think that when the show’s on TV, it’s happening at the house. Sometimes when we come home for dinner at 9 or 10 at night, there’s people outside the gate climbing over the fence or on top of their cars trying to take pictures.”

When the show isn’t filming the Haradens live a fairly average life. Marshal Haraden and his wife own a construction company that specializes in building restaurants and breweries (and the occasional mansion, in the case of their home!).

They go to normal family events, here’s a photo of the family at the youngest son’s high school football game.

Check out the mansion on “The Bachelor” Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, and watch the current “Bachelor” Nick Viall search for love.

Just remember… don’t try to stop by the mansion, you will find the Haradens, not the Bachelor!

How To Make This Incredibly Easy And Useful Rope Can [Video]

I know that I personally have too many metal cans sitting in my pantry right now. If this applies to you, too, then keep reading, as we have a solution for you! The best thing about this craft is that you probably already have all of the materials on hand. You’ll be able to quickly put those metal cans to use with this DIY rope can.

This DIY rope can only requires three materials, and it is super easy to create! All you will need is a metal can, a hot glue gun, a string of rope and you’re all set. Ready to create your own rope can? Simply follow the craft instructions below to get started!

This stylish rope can would look great in your kitchen, bathroom or office!

Materials Needed

  • Metal can(s)
  • Glue gun
  • Rope

Craft Instructions

  • Starting at the bottom of the can, glue around 1/3 of the can.
  • Lay on the rope, pressing down so it sticks.
  • Continue gluing at 1/3 can increments, and press rope up and around the entire can. (*Tip* we found pressing the glue gun tip slightly to the can made a thinner line of glue, and didn’t ooze out between the rope layers!)
  • When you reach the top, cut off approximately 3/4 of extra rope leaving a small tail.
  • Wrap tail over lip, down into the can
  • Hot glue rope tail inside can.

In the video above, we show you how to make a rope can for your desk to hold all of your pens, pencils, scissors or whatever else may need holding. However, this rope can is very versatile. The next one I make will be a make-up brush holder!

What will yours hold?

It’s no secret that guests flock to Disney to feel like they are living a real life fairytale. From the moment you step into a Disney Park, you are immersed into a whole new world, and that overwhelming immersion can make you feel like anything is possible. And while Disney is a place where dreams come true, and there are so many things that can happen, there are also many things that can’t happen…

We think you’ll be surprised at some of the things that are NOT allowed at Disney. Be sure to take some notes so you don’t get in trouble with the big mouse on your next visit!

Check out some of the rules and regulations.

1. Appropriate attire

No shoes… No shirt… You’ll have a problem! Proper attire must be worn at all times, including a shirt and shoes. Clothing that drags on the ground is prohibited as well.

For safety reasons, and not to disrupt the other guests, selfie sticks are banned. Looks like you’ll have to take a selfie the old-fashioned way!

You can’t bring in your own alcoholic substances. However, you will be able to find alcoholic drinks within certain areas of the parks, because having a glass of wine while watching the fireworks is essential.

We know Disney is exciting, and it’s easy to want to run from one attraction to the next, but for safety reasons, running is prohibited (except in the case of Disney marathon, of course).

First Look At The Epic ‘Ocean’s Eight’ Cast, Including Rihanna, Anne Hathaway & More

$

In case you haven’t heard by now, “Ocean’s Eight” is the all-female sequel to the famous heist series “Ocean’s Eleven.” We’ve heard bits and pieces about the upcoming film over the past year or so, but finally we have some substantial information to hold us over for little while.

So how do you make an intense action-packed heist thriller even more thrilling? Give it a reboot with a killer all-female cast composed of all of our favorite female actresses, obviously.

If that doesn’t excite you enough, check out some other fun facts about the movie we’ve uncovered.

1. Director

Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, have teamed up for the creation of “Ocean’s Eight.” Oscar-nominated writer and director Gary Ross is directing the film. Ross is most recently known for directing “The Hunger Games,” and his writing credits include “Big,” “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit,” which he also directed.

Olivia Milch wrote the “Ocean’s Eight” screenplay, and the producers are familiar Ocean’s faces, Steven Soderbergh, producer of the original Ocean’s trilogy, and George Clooney.

2. Plot

We don’t know much, but we do know that the heist will be centered around New York City’s annual, star-studded Met Gala.

The heist of the century… At the Met Gala? Say no more!

3. The Cast

First of all, could you imagine walking onto this subway car? Here’s the first image we have from the film, and its fierce leading ladies.

Here’s who’s set to star in this star-packed thriller, which will hit theaters in June 2018.

Sandra Bullock

Bullock is set to play the leading lady Debbie Ocean. Rumor has it she is Danny Ocean’s sister. She’ll be the one assembling the heist.

via GIPHY

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway is set to play Daphne Kluger. Here’s a pic of her rocking an electric green jacket, the perfect heist attire.

Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter is practically unrecognizable in the subway photo! She’s the blonde woman next to Anne Hathaway, wearing sunglasses. She will be playing Rose in the upcoming film.

Although, she will always be Bellatrix in my eyes. Another fun fact, Hathaway and Bonham Carter played queen sisters in the live-action “Alice in Wonderland.”

via GIPHY

Cate Blanchett

The two-time Academy Award-winning Blanchett is playing Lou.

5. Mindy Kaling

Kaling will be playing Amita. We’re excited to see Kaling in a heist rather than an office!

via GIPHY

Rihanna

We’re so excited to see what Rihanna has up her sleeve for this film as she takes on the role of Nine Ball.

Awkwafina

The comedian and rapper Awkwafina will be playing Constance.

Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson is most recently known for her stand-out acting skills in “American Horror Story” tv series. We think she’ll be amazing as Tammy in the upcoming “Ocean’s Eight.”

via GIPHY

Believe it or not, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cast of this film! James Corden has signed on to be part of the fun as well. Plus, Katie Holmes, Dakota Fanning and Olivia Munn are rumored to be joining the cast as well.

Matt Damon will be returning to play his character, Linus Caldwell, from the previous trilogy, and one can only hope we see some other familiar faces from the Ocean’s 11 franchise!

Personally, I can’t wait for June 8, 2018 (very fitting). Any room for a ninth?

Melissa McCarthy Stars In Hilarious Super Bowl Ad And Other Commercial Sneak Peaks

It’s that time of year again… Super Bowl time! This event is practically a national holiday at this point (hence the petition for Smunday).

If you’re anything like me, you enjoy watching the game, but you enjoy the commercials a little bit more. The game might disappoint you, but it’s safe to say that the commercials won’t.

Here’s a few sneak peaks of what to expect Sunday. From the always hilarious Melissa McCarthy, to Budweiser inspiring all of us and Lady Gaga starring in Tiffany & Co.’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial, we’re definitely in for a treat this year!

Kia

The first sneak-peek, and my personal favorite, is a Kia ad starring Melissa McCarthy. McCarthy is on a mission to save the world!

She comes face-to-face with whales, trees, ice caps and rhinos—each mission more hilarious than the next! From her perfect facial expressions to her painful (yet, hilarious) fails at each task, I couldn’t stop laughing!

The voiceover of the ad explains, “It’s hard to be an eco-warrior, but it’s easy to drive like one.” We think McCarthy should stick to driving from now on!

Tiffany & Co

Tiffany & Co.’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial is big news alone! Adding Lady Gaga to the mix, takes it to another level, one that definitely will not disappoint, if this little teaser is any indication.

?ALERT? – She's coming for us. • "Legendary Style" • #LadyGagaxTiffanyAndCo ✨

A video posted by Runway Town (@runwaytown) on

Gaga posted to her own Instagram account stating:

“I am honored to be a part of the @TiffanyAndCo family, just one lady in a long line of generations of women. We are not only proud to receive jewelry as a gift, but to know the glamour of being strong, ambitious, and creative in how we love ourselves…turning our problems into platinum.”

Not to mention, we can’t wait to see what Lady Gaga has in store for the Super Bowl halftime show!

Budweiser

Warning: It’s not the horse and puppy commercial you are expecting. No frogs either. (Bummer, I know.)

The commercial is based on the story of the company’s co-founder, Adolphus Busch, and his journey to brew the “King of Beers”. The commercial is titled “Born The Hard Way”, and celebrates the American dream. And we are forever thankful for the tasty brew!

Here’s hoping that these commercials set the standard for Sunday!

Super Bowl Sunday is quickly approaching! It’s time to start gearing up for Super Bowl parties and appetizers galore, because diets definitely don’t exist on game day. What better way to start off Super Bowl Sunday than with a giant bacon football?

Yes, you heard correctly. A football neatly woven from crispy bacon strips. Filled with sausage, eggs and everything nice. Whether you are starting off your Super Bowl Sunday with this delicious ball of breakfast, or having it as “brinner” (breakfast for dinner), this bacon football is the perfect Super Bowl treat!

The best thing about this ball of bacon is that it can be assembled the night before, making the day-of prep easy. This way, you’ll have more time to mingle with friends and family, and enjoy the party. Don’t let this big ball of goodness fool you, it’s actually quite simple to throw together, and it will definitely wow party guests!

via GIPHY

First things first, you have to create the breakfast ball that’s hidden beneath the blanket of bacon. The football itself is composed of all of the breakfast essentials: sausage, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, ketchup, hot sauce and eggs.

The Internet Strikes Back At Trolls Body Shaming Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl ‘Belly’

The Super Bowl was incredible for so many reasons this year. The game itself was one of the greatest comebacks in the history of football, the commercials had us laughing and crying, and Lady Gaga’s unbelievable half-time performance just about stole the show.

(In case you somehow missed the half-time show, or you just want to relive it one more time, you can watch the full half-time video below!)

From flying down from the top of the stadium, swinging on ropes, extensive dancing and still managing to sound great, the performance was without a doubt captivating! Not to mention that this was all done in high-heeled stiletto boots.

For her final song, “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga took to the stage in a crop top and shorts, looking fit and healthy. Yet, somehow, body-shamers are making her “belly” the center of attention. Not her performance, or her vocals, but her “belly.”

Trolls took to Twitter calling her stomach a “flat tire of fat.”

Another Twitter user chimed in saying it’s the Super Bowl not the “Super Roll.”

And another referred to her stomach as “flab swinging around.”

Thankfully, Lady Gaga’s fan base, her “Little Monsters,” were quick to come to her rescue!

Not only is Lady Gaga inspiring people across the country, but she’s in unbelievable shape, people! The endurance and cardio required to put on a show like that is ridiculously difficult. Before the performance, Gaga shared her journey to the Super Bowl including her workout prep.

Since the Super Bowl, Lady Gaga has been quiet about the comments and trolls trying to bring her down. But now, her silence has been broken. Lady Gaga recently responded to the people body shaming her, and it’s the most perfect comeback.

Gaga shared her response through a powerful Instagram post stating:

“I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I’m proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or what you do. I could give you a million reasons why you don’t need to cater to anyone or anything to succeed. Be you, and be relentlessly you. That’s the stuff of champions. Thank you so much everyone for supporting me. I love you guys. Xoxo, gaga”

So, body-shamers, please step up. Put on the high-heeled stiletto boots, try doing even a fraction of Lady Gaga’s performance and then come talk to us about a teeny tiny belly roll.

Thank you Lady Gaga for empowering women of all shapes and sizes! I’m now an even bigger fan.
