 Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Fith Harmony light up Jingle Ball
Fuzzy mittens and a crop top? Yes, that is the perfect outfit in this teen winter wonderland.

Acts making a splash this year like Daya and the Danish band Lukas Graham joined the likes of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber for a much-needed dose of escapism. Here are some of the show's highlights. Read more...

J.K. Rowling's stamp of approval can make or break just about anything, and a new spider species was sorted into the cool kids club by Rowling herself. Researchers in Mumbai named a new species Eriovixia gryffindori after Godric Gryffindor because it looks like it's wearing the famed Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter universe.
Kylie Jenner went to Christina Aguilera's birthday party dressed as Christina Aguilera
Should the Kylie Cosmetics empire crumble, Kylie Jenner has a promising career as a Christina Aguilera impersonator to look forward to. Jenner dressed up as Aguilera in her "Dirrty" video for Halloween and Xtina liked what she saw, so she invited Kylie (Kristina?) to her birthday bash. And when it was about time for Jenner's arrival, she killed it, yet again. Watch a firefighter save a dog's life by giving it CPR
Firefighters recently saved a dog in Romania using one of the most basic first aid techniques: CPR. The dog had collapsed from smoke inhalation after a fire broke out Dec. 9 in a ground-floor apartment in Pitești, a city just west of Bucharest. The dog's owner, a 51-year-old man, was seriously injured and quickly taken to the hospital, Romanian media reported. But the dog stayed behind, lying motionless on the curb. That's when Costache Mugurel stepped in. The local firefighter gave the dog multiple chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation before slipping an oxygen mask over the dog's snout.

The Hampton Inn in Sandy, Utah, is trying keep J. Cole down. The hotel's Twitter account, which, apparently doubles as a music publication, dissed Cole's new album, 4 Your Eyez Only, suggesting their beds are a comfortable place to rest if the album is"putting you to sleep early."
Things escalated from there.
People are pissed this white nationalist had his Twitter account reinstated
On Saturday evening, the Twitter account of Richard B. Spencer, one of the more prominent leaders of the alt-right movement, had his suspended Twitter account reactivated, spurring outrage among other users on the platform. After being suspended for nearly a month, Spencer sent out a short tweet on Saturday night confirming his return.
Spencer has been described as "arguably the father" of the alt-right. He founded a web magazine called Alternative Right in 2010 and currently heads up the National Policy Institute, a think tank that is a pillar of "academic racism." Read more...

The memes of 2016 reflect a year filled with a lot of ... errrr ..feelings. There was crying, anger and a frog riding a unicycle. And in the weirdest year yet of the 21st century, funny stuff on the internet just might have been 2016's saving grace. So we're taking a look back at the dopest memes of the past 12 months. From athletes making surprising facial expressions to cartoons from our childhood resurfacing to Joe Biden playing pranks on Donald Trump, this has been a year to remember (or hopefully forget with the right amount of therapy) for the internet. Behold, the year in internet memes. Read more... More about Arthur, Drake, Michael Phelps, Crying Lebron, and Damn Daniel Read More »Uber will now pretend your car is a ship from 'Star Wars'
Can't wait for Rogue One? Order an Uber. The ride-hailing company is partnering with Disney to turn the Uber app into an IRL Star Wars experience. Riders can opt into the promotion, which replaces images of Uber cars with Star Wars starships and plays "exclusive video content" around the theme. “Uber always makes it easy for people to get to where they’re going, and our collaboration with Disney is making the seamless Uber experience everyone has come to know, also captivating and engaging — especially for the millions of Star Wars fans around the world,” Amy Friedlander Hoffman, head of business development at Uber, said in a statement. “We hope our riders enjoy the Rogue One experience in their Ubers all week long, and doubly so while going to see the film.” Read more...

With the holidays around the corner, there are plenty of homes around trying to out-do each other when it comes to decorative lighting. But it's unlikely anyone will beat this display by Greg Jaeschke from Shepparton, Australia. It syncs up to music. Epic music. The lights have been set to classics like AC/DC's "Thunderstuck," but they're also well-matched with doof doof-style bangers such as Hocus Pocus' 1995 hit "Here's Johnny" and Darude's "Sandstorm" — which helped Jaeschke go viral back in 2014. According to Shepparton News, Jaeschke spends about six hours setting up the lights for each song. Read more...

Proposing is a risky business. Will they say yes or will you be faced with crippling rejection? Add to that an audience of 53,000 and members of Coldplay, and that's pressure. An Australian man in Melbourne got Coldplay lead singer and "new best friend" Chris Martin to stop midway through their Saturday gig, so he could to pop the question to his better half. First, the wrong woman got on stage. Awkward. Martin made it sense awkward by asking the crowd if anyone wanted to marry the random woman. Good save! Once the right woman was on stage, the man emotionally declared his love in front of everyone, dropping to one knee to pop the question to his girlfriend of three years. Read more...

Cam Newton has always been something of an NFL style icon (or rebel) and his latest outfit is the perfect fix for thirsty Westworld fans still reeling from last Sunday's season finale. Speaking to the press Sunday afternoon after the Carolina Panthers' victory over the San Diego Chargers, Newton chowed up to his post-game press conference in a long sweater, checkered shirt, scarf and fedora. He certainly looked the part for an immersive robotic experience. And Twitter users didn't miss a beat (though, if you haven't watched or finished season one of Westworld, beware a spoiler or two).

President-elect Donald Trump has spent the past few days tapping climate-change deniers and fossil fuel executives to fill his presidential cabinet. But on Sunday, he said he was "open-minded" about climate science, claiming falsely that "nobody really knows" what's happening to the planet. "I've — look, I’m somebody that gets it," Trump told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace in a taped interview. "And nobody really knows. It's not something that's so hard and fast." Wallace noted earlier that Trump called climate change "a hoax" during his presidential campaign, although in the interview the two men refer only to "the environment." The Fox News host pointed out that Trump's pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency — Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt — is suing the EPA to quash its landmark climate regulations.

Usually when a franchise hits its eighth installment, the thrills have withered and the star power begins to fade. But not in the case of the Fast and Furious series. The latest installment, called The Fate of the Furious, dropped its trailer on Sunday, and it features Oscar winner Charlize Theron in what appears to be the role of the newest evil genius to challenge "the family." Alongside Theron are franchise favorites Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham. The trailer suffers from the Hollywood's new habit of showing us almost the entire film in a few minutes, but hardcore fans will welcome this cinematic tease until the film hits theaters on April 14, 2017.

Deadpool received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) on Monday, which makes it — as best we can tell —the first live-action superhero movie in either Best Picture category at the Globes. That's right: the Merc with the Mouth just became a trailblazer. It's not abnormal to see superhero franchises represented at awards shows anymore, but it's usually to sweep the visual effects categories, with a notable exception for Heath Ledger's numerous posthumous wins for The Dark Knight. After winning the Critics' Choice Awards for Best Comedy and Best Actor in a Comedy over the weekend, Deadpool will be a major presence at the 2017 Golden Globes. Read more...

To be fair, defensive players don't have many opportunities to score touchdowns. So it makes sense that when Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley Jr. forced a fumble and recovered it for a touchdown, the ensuing celebration didn't go as planned. It looks like Beasley, who notched three sacks in Atlanta's 42-14 win, was going for a windmill dunk over the uprights. But he didn't quite make it.
Here's the deal behind that viral parade of dancing children's characters
By now, you've almost certainly seen the video of one extraordinarily lit Christmas parade featuring children's characters pulling some fantastic dance moves. From Twitter to The Shade Room, footage of these hype kid's favorites has gone super-viral, and reactions to the party have been extremely mixed. The video was taken at the Scotland County Christmas Parade in Laurinberg, North Carolina, where the characters danced down Main Street to energize the local crowd. The dancers are from company TandL-Characters, who provide their spirited performers for a range of celebratory events. Read more...

Something might be up with Apple's wireless headphones tech. After Apple's AirPods were delayed for an unspecified reason in October, Beats' wireless earbuds BeatsX seem to be delayed as well. According to an AppleInsider report, Apple retailer B&H told a customer in an email that the BeatsX — originally slated for a December launch — probably won't arrive for another couple of months. "The manufacturer has informed us that they still do not know when they will begin shipping this item but they do know that it will take at least 2-3 months," the email said. Read more...

Environmental activism may be crucial for the future of our planet, but it's also an especially deadly business. In 2015 alone, more than three people were killed each week while protecting their land, forests and water sources from political and economic interests. Now, a new interactive online tool from global human rights organization Amnesty International is helping to shed light on this "invisible crisis." Launched on Dec. 10 to coincide with Human Rights Day, the new Speak Out for Defenders website visualizes the wave of recent and ongoing attacks against environmental activists across the Americas. By clicking each marker on the map, you can read nearly 50 stories of communities and individual activists who have been "harassed, threatened, attacked, unfairly jailed and even killed as punishment for their work to protect the environment."

President-Elect Donald Trump may want to ask his 10-year-old son about how hacking really works. The CIA is now pretty sure that the Russians hacked the Presidential election, not by attacking voting booths and polling places, but through the Democratic National Committee email hack that promoted the slow, steady release of embarrassing emails, which may have swayed public sentiment, if not the vote. But Donald Trump isn't having any of it. He doesn't believe the CIA, wonders why the news is just coming out now and, finally, has a theory about how you catch hackers: "In the act."

2016 was a tumultuous year in many realms, but in the world of sports it was nothing short of epic. With clutch performances on the biggest stages, notable retirements, tragic deaths and more than one quenched championship drought, 2016 goes down as an unforgettable year in sports. Here are the sports moments from 2016 that we'll still be talking about years from now. 1.

In its never-ending quest to become the main destination to watch online video, Facebook has announced it'll launch live 360-degree videos. The new video format is simply called "Live 360" and launches on Tuesday. For its debut, Facebook's teaming up with National Geographic for a special live 360-degree experience from the Mars Desert Research facility in Utah. The Live 360 video broadcast will let viewers watch eight scientists emerge from pods that they've been living in for the past 80 days. The experiment was created to simulate life on Mars and give scientists insight on the tolls of being isolated from humans for an extended period of time. Read more...

There's a new stock market rhythm emerging: Donald Trump tweets about a company, and its stock goes straight down. The entire thing happens in a matter of seconds, which on Wall Street is plenty of time for thousands of shares to be bought and sold. It happened to Boeing and biotech companies last week. On Monday, it was Lockheed Martin and its F-35 military jet program that ended up in Trump's crosshairs. In about an hour, the company was worth about $4 billion dollars less.
To create inspiring wood furniture, Sawdust Bureau owner Bryan Cush demands high quality tools
Bryan Cush, owner of bespoke Melbourne furniture company Sawdust Bureau, can make a lot of things. Compromises aren’t one of them. The Belfast, Ireland-born graduate architect worked in Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands and Austria before setting up shop in Australia. He became disillusioned with commercial architecture while working for builders who emphasized cost savings over quality; in 2012, he decided to go it alone. After a few years of tinkering with potential designs in a collaborative Melbourne wool-store studio, Cush received a start-up business grant from the city of Melbourne in 2015. The money allowed them to buy machinery and a new workshop, and an opportunity to “step back and try to fine tune a vision for Sawdust Bureau,” Cush says. Read more...

Instagram's biggest update yet will soon be available to a lot more people. The app is now starting to bring its live-streaming features to everyone, the Facebook-owned service announced on Monday. Users in the U.S. will start to see the feature today and those in other countries will have access "over the coming weeks," according to the company. SEE ALSO: The line between Instagram and Facebook is getting very, very thin—and here's why you should care Instagram had previously announced live video was coming to its app. Its features are more like Snapchat than Facebook in that live videos disappear after the stream ends. When someone you follow is live, it will appear in the Stories section of the app and some users will receive notifications when someone they follow is live (based on an algorithm that determines which followers are most likely to be interested.)

Want to hail a private jet? Yeah, it's not cheap, but it's possible and becoming much easier. JetSmarter, a private jet marketplace, raised $105 million in a Series C round, the company announced Monday. That places the company as tech's newest unicorn since it reached a $1.5 billion pre-money valuation. JetSmarter is a members-only service, where people pay $11,500 annual fee and $3,500 one-time initiation fee to access a range of scheduled flights. They can also elect to create their own flights.

LONDON — You can't get much more magical than eating Christmas dinner in Hogwarts' Great Hall. The price may not exactly be cheap — it's a solid £240 ($304) per person this year — but for big Harry Potter fans, eating at the original set at the Warner Bros. Studios looks like a hell of a cool experience. Over the weekend Destiny Blue, an artist based in London, documented her trip to the event and shared the photos on Imgur. At the time of writing, her post has already been viewed over 600,000 times.
