 Natalie Portman was in an environmental pop group as a kid
Who knew Natalie Portman had a career in music before gracing our silver screens? James Corden dug up the actress' musical past and revealed on Thursday night that she was a part of the World Patrol Kids. The fifth-grade Portman would sing about recycling and environmental issues. But for some reason, it doesn't seem as totally lame as you'd think. Reunion soon? Terrible person tweets strobing GIF at journalist who has epilepsy
On Friday, Kurt Eichenwald, a prominent liberal journalist and senior writer at Newsweek, announced that he would be temporarily leaving Twitter after a troll gave him a seizure. According to Eichenwald's tweets, a "deplorable" troll seemingly aware that the reporter had epilepsy tweeted a strobe with the message, "you deserve a seizure." Shortly after, the reporter claimed that he did in fact, suffer a seizure. Eichenwald then claimed he would be pursuing legal action and only using his Twitter account to share copies of documents related to the crime.

PROMOTED BY NIXONTeam Designed, Custom Built, Nixon NowFor some, it’s the stuff of legends. For others, it’s another day in the great outdoors. For everyone who completes this daring mission, it’s an incredible time they won’t soon forget. California is one of the few places where you can both surf and snowboard in the same day, thanks to a significant shoulder season and mountains located within a couple hours of the beach The premise may sound simple: hit the slopes in the morning to ski or snowboard, then head to the coast to catch some waves before the sun goes down. But if you don’t plan it right, or get tripped up along the way, you could miss out – big time. Not since the iconic 1966 surfing documentary “Endless Summer” has there been such an epically awesome challenge so well suited for adrenaline junkies. Read more...

Numerous celebrities, from Bob Odenkirk to Moby to America's favorite president Jed Bartlett (aka Martin Sheen), have lined up for a new video urging the Electoral College to dump Trump on Monday. The Dec. 19 vote is pretty much the last chance to derail a Trump presidency, and would require 37 Republican electors to vote for someone else, taking Trump below the 270-vote threshold he needs to get to the White House. Nearly 5 million members of the public have urged them to do this, and now a host of celebs insist that Trump lacks the qualifications, stability and respect for the Constitution that the office demands.

Rogue One is standing by at the North American box office — and though it won't do anything close to The Force Awakens numbers this weekend, early returns indicate that the Force is strong with the galaxy's first Star Wars spinoff. According to early estimates shared with Mashable, Rogue One is taking in $60 million for its Thursday late shows and Friday totals, well on its way to a $135 million to $140 million start. Worldwide, Disney's second dip into the Lucasfilm well was expected to soar past $300 million in gross receipts. The Force Awakens did $60 million in its Thursday late shows alone, and went on to a record-shattering $250 million weekend around this time last year. Read more...

Donald Trump declared Vanity Fair's subscriptions were "Way down," and so, they went way up. The Condé Nast magazine reported its subscriptions increased 100-fold Thursday compared to the average number sold. That bump was the "highest number of subscriptions sold in a single day ever" for the publisher, a spokesperson told Folio. It all apparently stemmed from a tweet Thursday morning directed at the magazine and its editor Graydon Carter, a longtime Trump nemesis.
What's next after VR porn? Hologram porn, apparently.
The porn industry has never shied away from experimenting with new technologies to, um, tell its "stories." So what's next after VR porn? Hologram porn, apparently. The adult entertainment company CamSoda plans to introduce "live holographic streaming" of its "camgirls" to the world at next month's AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. The company says it'll be the first of its kind. The "Holo-Cam" shows will be filmed in a special studio to work with those inexpensive transparent pyramids that you place on top of a desktop, tablet or phone's screen, according to The Daily Dot.

Having a tree inside the house is a cat's dream come true. We've all seen our fury friends perched up in an evergreen filled with lights and dressed in ornaments.

Pinterest has fallen short of its own goal to hire more women in tech roles, despite modest overall progress towards a more diverse workforce in the past year. The social scrapbooking site released a yearly update on employee demographics in a blog post Friday. In it, the company stacked the diversity of its hires over the past year against ambitious target quotas it had set for itself. Pinterest said it managed to boost the portion of women in its tech departments from 21 percent to 26 percent — a marked improvement from the year before, when the number remained stagnant.

After beloved NBA reporter Craig Sager died and left a gaping hole in the basketball universe, he was honored Thursday night in utterly perfect fashion. Just before tipoff of a national televised game between the Warriors and Knicks — a game that, in an alternate timeline, Sager may well have worked — Warriors coach Steve Kerr called both his team and the Knicks to center court and addressed the crowed. Sager became a luminary of the basketball world in a way few reporters ever do. His gentle sense of humor and lack of self-seriousness were what truly made him a treasure — even though it was his loud, often garish suits that made the biggest initial impression. Sager's fight and optimism became an inspiration after he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. Read more...

"What do we do if we don't have hope, Oprah?" First Lady Michelle Obama got real about what it's like to be facing Donald Trump's America during an interview with Oprah Winfrey this week, a clip of which aired on CBS on Friday. While hope was the message of her husband's presidential campaigns, and entire presidential terms really, it was a bitter topic for FLOTUS in the interview. In the days and weeks since the historic presidential victory, she said, things have just been different. "We feel the difference now. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like," she told Winfrey. "Hope is necessary.

It turns out that some parts of Vine may live on after all.

The update comes one day after Evernote CEO Chris O'Neill said the company "communicated poorly" about the proposed changes but didn't back away from the changes, which he said would improve the company's note taking software.

Facebook's finally coming around to its fake news problem. The world's largest social network rolled out a tool to help curb all the fake news circulating on its platform. Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal and Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff and I discussed whether it's too little too late on this week's MashTalk. The tool, as my colleague Karissa Bell wrote, is basically the equivalent of reporting spam and other objectionable content. It's debatable whether down-ranking fake news will really do anything in the long run to restore users' faith in Facebook as a source to get news. Perhaps, Facebook needs to bring back human curators to become the gatekeepers of newsworthy news. Read more...

c. 1890 "Mother and son." Image: National library of ireland The last decades of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th were a period of epochal change and disruption in Ireland. The death and diaspora of the Great Hunger was followed by the agrarian unrest and evictions of the Land War and an intensifying campaign for Irish Home Rule. Much of this history was captured on glass plates, as photographic technology advanced and propagated around the country. These images from the National Library of Ireland capture a broad portrait of the Irish people in the years leading up to its secession from the United Kingdom, from the monied landlords and urban professionals to the farmers and fisherfolk who harvested the isle’s bounty.

Here's something you don't see everyday. When a man came to rob adult toy store Lotions & Lace in San Bernadino, California, two female employees thwarted his attempted attack by hitting him with a bunch of dildos. (You read that correctly). The man, with his face covered, walked into the store just before close around 9:45 pm. He pointed what appeared to be a gun at the two women behind the counter, and they quickly decided they were having absolutely none of it. Behold, the surveillance video. "With the gun, he walked in. I just thought he was trying to be funny, to scare us," one store associate, who KABC-7 is calling Amy, told the news organization, "But then I saw the gun and it was like, 'Really?

"He was abandoned by his owners at LAX after the airline and TSA determined that he was just too big to be screened as a carry-on and taken on the plane," TSA wrote in the initial photo caption, using the image as a reminder to passengers about carry-on guidelines.

In the heat of posting a provocative tweet early Saturday morning, Donald Trump's spell checker apparently failed him. The president-elect called China's seizure of a U.S. Navy drone on Friday an "unpresidented [sic] act" before deleting the typo and replacing it with a correctly spelled statement. Yet the intervening hour and a half in which the mistake sat unfixed gave the Twitter-sphere plenty of time to get in a few jokes at the expense of Trump's spelling skills.
