Anne Frank Halloween Costume Elicits Internet Outrage
Anne Frank is probably the most famous Holocaust survivor of all-time.
The young girl gained notoriety after her diary was published in the wake of her death, as millions of people learned how she hid from the Nazis between 1942 and 1944 when Germany occupied the Netherlands as part of World War II.
She was eventually discovered and died in a concentration camp.
In other words: Anne Frank is a hero.
But one way NOT to honor her struggle would be to sell an ensemble on HalloweenCostumes.com labeled as "World War II Evacuee Girl Costume."
In general, the Holocaust really isn"t something that ought to be reduced to such a cheap stunt.
Yet that"s exactly what this online retailer went ahead and did, much to the shock and anger of the Internet…
1. Here’s the Costume
On HalloweenCostumes.com, you can pretend as if YOU were killed in the mass murder of Jewish people simply by wearing a blue dress, green beret and a messenger bag for $ 24.99.
2. This is the Actual Product Description
“We can always learn from the struggles of history! Unfortunately, World War II shook the world in a way that no one could have foreseen. It showed us what true and mettle were. It also created some unexpected heroes, where even a young girl like Anne Frank with nothing but a diary and hope could become an inspiration to us all. We can learn from someone like that!”
3. Ready, Internet?
REACT!
4. Super Uncool
That is a super understatement.
5. What. The. Actual. Eff.
We really can’t say it much better ourselves.
6. This is from the Anti-Defamation League’s St. Louis Branch:
Exactly.

Anne Hathaway Empowers Women with Positive Body Image Message
Anne Hathaway is officially the anti-Kim Kardashian.
Because she hasn’t starred in a sex tape? No.
Well… yes.
But the real reason we’re making this point is because Hathaway just shared an important message with women around the world.
And it’s the sort of thing Kardashian would never, ever, ever, ever, EVER say.
The Oscar winner, who gave birth to her first child in March, shared a photo on her social media account this week of a pair of cut-up denim jeans.
For what possible reason?!?
Allow her to explain…
“There is no shame in gaining weight during pregnancy (or ever),” she wrote, adding:
“There is no shame if it takes longer than you think it will to lose the weight (if you want to lose it at all).”
We can’t help but stop here and bring up Kardashian once again by asking:
Can you imagine her sending along the same message?
Kim has spent nearly every social media post since she gave birth talking about how she ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to shed her baby weight.
Is it alright for a new mother to have this goal? To want to feel better about her figure? Of course.
But it’s not alright for someone as influential as Kim Kardashian (it’s depressing, but true) to make it seem like such a priority.
It sets a very poor example.
Hathaway, meanwhile, is taking the opposite approach.
“There is no shame in finally breaking down and making your own jean shorts because last summer’s are just too dang short for this summer’s thighs,” the mother of one explained of the above picture.
“Bodies change. Bodies grow. Bodies shrink. It’s all love (don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.)”
Thank you, Anne! Preach on!
Back in May, Hathaway threw a bit of shade at Kim Kardashian as well.
At the time, the actress shared a version of a popular meme on Instagram, one that urged folks to be different “in a world of Kardashians.”
She added “In a world of Kardashians … Be a Helena Bonham Carter” to the meme.
In other words: in a world where people without character or talent can be so famous, try to be someone who has character and talent.
Hathaway welcomed her son Jonathan Rosebanks with husband Adam Shulman (pictured below) in March.
We hope the little guy appreciates his awesome mother.
With one Instagram post, Hathaway just empowered women more than Kim Kardashian ever has.

James Corden Drops The Mic On Anne Hathaway"s Awful British Accent
If you haven"t gotten around to seeing One Day with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, don"t.
Just read the book, an absolutely fantastic story of two destined souls that spares us from the Oscar winner"s unbearable, crap attempts at an accent.
On May 24th, The Late Late Show host James Corden (an actual Brit) brought this up during a Drop The Mic rap battle, in which opponents take digs at one another with very clever lyrics.
“This isn’t just for me it’s for the whole U.K. mad at your awful British accent in the movie One Day," Corden rapped in Hathaway"s face.
Ooooooh.
He also criticized that time she hosted the 2011 Oscars with James Franco, a night every single viewer and audience member would prefer to forget.
"I won"t lose this to an imposter, it"s more likely they"ll ask you to again host the Oscars."
YA BURNT!
Instead of running off stage in tears (as I would have), Hathaway fought back.
"I say your rhymes are like your ratings, they are incredibly weak."
Go on…
"You look like a KFC bucket with a lot of extra breast."
"You"re more full of s*** than a kitty litter box."
Alright, enough of this.
After the battle, Corden and Hathaway chatted about the movie in a more civilized manner. And since Sturgess was also a guest on the show (he"s promoting Feed The Beast on AMC), it was the perfect opportunity for two representatives of the UK to call out the American imposter.
Corden noted that Hathaway"s accent wasn"t necessarily "traditional," then giggled as he asked her how her attempts worked out.
"I"ve heard not well," she admitted. "It was so painful man."
"I was like "I"ll get there" and I guess I never got there."
In fact, one reading left the cast and crew in "complete silence," Hathaway admitted.
Watch Hathaway and Corden rap it out in the video below.

Anne Hathaway Throws Clear Shade at the Kardashians, Then Claims Otherwise
Come on, Anne Hathaway.
Stick by your hateful guns, will ya?
On Monday, the Oscar-winning actress shared a version of a popular meme on Instagram, one that urges people to be different “in a world of Kardashians.”
In this case, Hathaway wrote “In a world of Kardashians … Be a Helena Bonham Carter.”
She included with the message a photo of the the veteran actress with her signature messy hair in a ponytail, her hands clutching a plain coffee mug.
“(Red) Queen,” Hathaway captioned the picture, referring to Carter’s Alice Through the Looking Glass character.
The two stars portray sisters in the brand new fantasy film.
The Instagram post was met with some harsh backlash from Internet users who thought Hathaway was tearing down other women.
Which she clearly was. But who cares? What if those other women deserve it?
Isn’t it sexist to argue that one woman can’t make fun of another woman… just because they are women?
“Really Anne? You don’t have to put other people down to bring someone up,” one Instagram user wrote as an example of the criticism.
Wilting under these negative words, Hathaway deleted the original message and then shared a new one. It reads:
BOOO! HISS!
Like we said above: come on, Anne Hathaway!
There was no “unintentional shade” thrown at the Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars here.
That was some very intentional shade thrown. You wrote that the world is full of people like these reality stars and that folks should aim higher.
You were implying that the Kardashians are focused on the superficial and that there’s more to life than being famous and showing a lot of skin.
That’s a good message! That’s empowering to women! Why take it back and/or claim you didn’t mean it in the first place?
It’s not like you’d be alone in hating on these sisters. See what we mean below:

Anne Hathaway Gives Birth to a Boy!
Anne Hathaway may have won an Oscar for her role in Les Miserables.
But the actress has no reason to be miserable at the moment. Quite the opposite, in fact.
We’d have to imagine Hathaway is walking on sunshine… because she just gave birth to her first child!
In news broken by E!, Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman welcomed a precious boy named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman into the world on March 24.
The blessed event took place in Los Angeles.
“The baby is extremely healthy and is surrounded by friends and family in L.A.,” an insider says. “Anne and Adam are ecstatic to be parents.”
Going way back to an interview with Vogue in 2013, the Oscar winner was very open about her hopes and dreams of starting a family someday.
“Oh, my God. I want to be a mother, and I anticipate loving my children quite fiercely,” she said.
“I think about it all the time, though it’s a silly thing to think about because the kind of mother I’ll be depends on the kind of children I have. I can’t wait to meet them.”
And now she finally has! Hooray!
We send our best wishes to Hathaway, to Baby Hathaway and to all the new famous mothers in 2016!

Anne Wojcicki: Dating Alex Rodriguez for Some Reason
Alex Rodriguez may not have the speed to steal many bases these days, but the New York Yankees slugger has reportedly stolen the heart of another famous woman.
But this one is a tad different than past A Rod conquests.
According to multiple outlets, Rodriguez is now hitting a home run (if you know what we mean!) with Anne Wojcicki, the CEO of genomics analytics start-up 23andMe.
The 40-year-old steroid user baseball player was photographed with Wojcicki at the Vanity Fair Super Bowl party back in February and sources say the two are still going strong.
In the sexual dating sense, we mean.
Rodriguez divorced his wife many years ago and has since gotten it on with such big-time stars as Torrie Wilson, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson and Madonna.
Wojcicki, meanwhile, was married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin for eight years and her sister is YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki.
The value of her company rose to $ 1.03 billion last year after raising $ 115 million in venture-capital funding.
“Alex and Anne are spending time together and have been on a few dates,” an insider tells The New York Pot. “It is very new. He finds her interesting, inspirational and very smart.”

Anne Hathaway: Give Jennifer Lawrence a Break, People!
Former “It Girl” Anne Hathaway has taken to Facebook to defend newly-fallen “It Girl” Jennifer Lawrence.
Earlier this week, the Joy actress was criticized for scolding a journalist over staring at his phone during an interview with her after she won the award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
The internet got collectively pissed, deeming J. Law rude and out of line because the reporter was clearly foreign and may have been consulting his phone to translate the question.
Today, Anne Hathaway swooped in to offer her thoughts on the controversy, writing:
“Dear the Internet,
It’s become pretty clear that the Jennifer Lawrence ‘scolding’ was taken out of context and that she was dryly joking with a journalist who was indeed using his phone to take photos of her.”
But the Les Miserables actress may have been calling attention to a larger issue.
“Let’s not continue the sad but common practice of building people – especially women- up just to viciously tear them down when we perceive them to have misstepped. Jennifer is a beautiful, talented, wildly successful, popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman. Please let us not punish her for these things. Sincerely, A J-Law fan #supportstrongwomen #imwithher #whycantwegiveloveonemorechance”
The day after the Globes, Mic ran an article entitled “We Have Reached Peak Jennifer Lawrence,” which basically declared Jen’s “It Girl” status as so over.
Meaning, after a few years as America’s favorite cool girl for acting quirky, down-to-earth and relatable, J. Law was now a universally-hated bitch due to this one faux pas – even though she may not be to blame.
“None of this is Lawrence’s fault,” opined the author, Kevin O’Keeffe. “This is how Hollywood works. Actresses are hot one second and annoying the next. Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet can empathize.”
We can only imagine Anne jumped out of her easy chair and responded with a resounding, “YES!!! Finally, somebody understands me!”
Now maybe Annie and Jenny could grab Gwynnie and have a sleepover in which they eat Kit Kats Kourtney Kardashian-style and reminisce about the good ol’ days when they got one million faves on Twitter for posting “Good morning.”
And maybe, just maybe, we can try and give these ladies a break.

Anne Hathaway Effs Over Paparazzi with Pregnant Bikini Photo
Anne Hathaway is pregnant with her first child.
But while the actress has gained a lot of weight while growing a person inside of her womb, she has not lose her sense of humor.
Or her sense of vengeance.
The Oscar-winning beauty, who announced her pregnancy late November, shared a bikini photo on her Instagram account over the weekend after spotting paparazzi members taking snapshots of her during a recent vacation.
She figured she’d give away her beach body for free instead of permitting them to make a few bucks off of it by acting like pathetic stalkers.
“Happy 2016 to my beautiful Instafriends!” Hathaway wrote as a caption, explaining why this photo now exists online:
“So, posting a bikini pic is a little out of character for me, but just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed.
“I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy (and be one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter.”
Hathaway closed the caption with a smiley face emoji, along with a wish for fans and friends to enjoy “love, light and blessings for the year ahead!”
We wish the very same to you, Anne.
And we can’t wait to meet your precious bundle of joy!

Anne Hathaway: Pregnant With First Baby!
According to a report from E! News, Anne Hathaway is expecting her first child!
“Anne is in her second trimester and feeling great!” said a rep for the 33-year-old in a statement issued today.
The news comes on the heels of rumors that Hathaway was planning to adopt after having difficulty conceiving.
Hathaway married actor Adam Shulman in 2012. In the years since, rumors that Hathaway is pregnant have surfaced every few months.
The actress has spoken openly about her desire to start a family in the past:
“I want to be a mother, and I anticipate loving my children quite fiercely,” Anne said in an interview back in 2013.
“I think about it all the time, though it’s a silly thing to think about because the kind of mother I’ll be depends on the kind of children I have. I can’t wait to meet them.”
Hathaway has stated that she’s known she wanted to be a mother since she was in high school.
Though the couple has yet to confirm the news, sources say Anne and Adam are ecstatic about their forthcoming bundle of joy.
Fittingly, Hathaway’s next project is an remake of the 1964 family classic Mary Poppins.
