Chris Brown to Rihanna: MARRY ME FOR REAL!

Will we ever get to experience a time in which Chris Brown isn’t creepy and sketchy and awful?

It’s not very likely, but man, it sure sounds nice.

Unfortunately, Chris has been awful for years and years and years at this point.

And you know what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks.

(It seems weird that the only tricks this dog was ever taught were a few cool dance moves and how to be violent and scary, but whatever.)

Chris became famous in 2005 when he released his debut album, and a few years later in 2009, he was arrested for beating Rihanna.

Ever since then, things have been falling apart.

He’s gotten in trouble several times for assault and destroying property — you know, just overly aggressive douchebag things.

His longtime girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, has said that he abused her and threatened to kill her.

She has a restraining order against him now.

Most recently, he was arrested in July for felony battery after punching a photographer in a club.

Chris also does this really terrible thing, and although it isn’t illegal, it is truly terrifying.

He’s just kind of been fixated on Rihanna ever since 2009 — you’ve noticed it, right?

He’s dropped her name in countless interviews, even though he really should know better, or at least have people around him who know better and could clue him in.

He leaves inappropriately flirty comments on her Instagram posts, there’s always a report floating around about how he wants her back.

And, wouldn’t you know it, we have a report just like that to discuss right now!

Brace yourself, because this is spookier than anything else you’re going to see today.

OK, so Rihanna posed for this photo to promote the new Savage x Fenty collection:

She looks amazing, right?

Of course she does, this is Rihanna we’re talking about.

And as a source close to Chris explained to Hollywood Life, the photo made him feel some feelings.

“Rihanna’s new lingerie picture is straight torture for Chris,” began the source, “and not just because she’s looking so damn sexy.”

Yeah, it’s gross already — who could have possibly anticipated this?!

It gets worse, too!

“With her white lingerie and veil it makes him imagine her looking like that on her wedding night and it kills him that it may not be with him,” the source revealed.

“He still has fantasies that fate will bring them back together, when the time is right and they will have that wedding night.”

The delusions don’t stop there.

Last we heard, Rihanna was dating Hassan Jameel, but they haven’t been seen together in a few months.

And so “the fact that Rihanna isn’t really claiming any man makes Chris think that she might still be hung up on him too.”

There’s just a tiny little smidge of real talk at the end though, thank goodness.

The insider said that “The way things are right now between them it’s not something he’s fully counting on.”

This is just disturbing, isn’t it?

Chris was with Rihanna almost ten years ago.

Ten. Years.

Next February it’ll be a decade since he assaulted her.

And yes, they got back together for a little while about six years ago, but still, six years is a lot of years, too.

Why would he think that there’s even the slightest chance that she’ll marry him?

And while we’re asking questions, why does he even still have a career?

Honestly, Chris needs to just go away, forever.

No Rihanna wedding, no new music, no dumb interviews that try to find redeeming qualities in him.

He needs to pay his child support and stay away for the rest of his whole entire life.

If that’s not possible, then at least the no Rihanna wedding, OK?

Justin Bieber: I"m Not Rushing to Marry Hailey Baldwin, But She"s the One!

It’s been over a month since Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin. That was when the two hotties, who had until very recently been exes, became engaged.

Though reports have said that Justin and Hailey are already making wedding plans, a new report says that these two aren’t racing towards the altar.

But we do have a ballpark estimate of when they are likely to get married.

Sources close to Justin Bieber tell TMZ a few illuminating facts about the Biebs and his relationship with fiancee Hailey Baldwin.

First and foremost, even though these two had barely started dating against before Justin popped the question, that doesn’t mean that they’re racing towards the altar.

The insider tells TMZ that they’re not planning on actually tying the knot until 2019.

The insider says that this isn’t an issue of them being unsure abou their upcoming nuptials.

TMZ compares the delay to how Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth might never get married, because they feel like the engagement is enough.

Sources also told them that this thing between Justin and Hailey was allegedly more intense than the public realizes.

“Justin’s been in love with her for a long time,” an insider tells TMZ.

“So,” the source explains. “This didn’t just come from out of the blue.”

In fact, TMZ has been told that Justin and Hailey have reunited … and then broken up again … multiple times without the knowledge of fans.

We believe that.

Of course, sources also tell TMZ that the public is totally wrong in their belief that the Biebs was fixated on Selena Gomez for all of this time.

These insiders close to Justin are claiming that Justin’s really had his heart set on Hailey, not Selena, for the past few years.

HollywoodLife looked at this and asked the question that’s on the mind of many fans after reading this: did Justin hook up with Hailey while he was with Selena?

It’s difficult to picture Hailey being a part of that.

But it sounds like, at the very least, Justin was allegedly pining after Hailey during his months-long reunion with Selena.

Now, all of this is very sweet and makes it sound like Hailey was always Justin’s first choice and like Selena was, at best, some sort of distraction.

But … while we absolutely believe that some very reliable sources close to the Biebs made these claims, are they true?

Or are they just what Justin wants the world to believe?

Call us conspiracy theorists, but we cannot help but wonder if maybe Justin is deliberately pushing this narrative in the hope that it reassures Hailey that she’s not just a runner-up.

At the very least, he might be trying to convince his fans that he’s not another Arie Luyendyk Jr. and that Hailey was always his true love.

That said … a lot of people can and do convince themselves that the person to whom they propose is the only person they’ve ever really loved.

The term cognitive dissonance gets misused more often than it gets used properly, but it’s a real psychological phenomenon and it really can lead people to believe new things based upon their most recent words and actions.

So if Justin is telling his close buddies that he’s always believed that Hailey’s the girl for him, he may very well believe it — despite his lengthy and also very recent history with Selena Gomez.

Many fans have noted that Justin seduced Hailey just like how he seduced Selena.

And it of course did not go unnoticed that he only reconnected with Hailey after Selena broke things off.

But regardless of all of that, it’s comforting to hear that Justin and Hailey aren’t racing to the altar.

Next year sounds like a fine time for them to tie the knot.

… Assuming that they last that long.

Some of us, after all, are betting that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson last longer.

But only time will tell.

June Shannon: I"m Ready to Marry Geno Doak!

Do you hear that, From Not to Hot viewers?

Do you recognize that sound?

Oh, yes, it"s the ringing of wedding bells, which may very soon be going off all around June Shannon.

On this week"s all-new episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot, the mother of four opens up to her sister, telling this sibling that she wants to tie the knot with Geno Doak…

… in Las Vegas!

The veteran reality star and Doak went public with their relationship early in 2018.

Geno actually has four children of his own, and he runs a home remodeling business.

He actually dated Shannon briefly in 2015, keeping in semi-close contact with her ever since, prior to reigniting the romance a few months ago.

“I never thought about marriage until I met Geno. And you know I proposed to him,” Mama June tells her sister, Doe Doe, in the sneak peek featured here.

Why is she so strongly considering this committment now?

“It’s just time for Alana to have that real family connection,” June says about her youngest daughter, who will be Dancing with the Stars this fall.

“Alana needs this," June adds.

Honey Boo Boo had previously told Us Weekly that she"s glad her mom has hooked up with Doak, telling the tabloid:

"I"m very proud that Mama got with him because she smiles if you say anything about him. I"m like, "Mama has been so happy!""

As for the location of her desired wedding?

Shannon objects to Doe Doe"s belief that Sin City isn"t exactly the ideal city in which to exchange vows.

“Vegas is the perfect place to get hitched to my man,” Shannon says. “Geno loves surprises, so he’s going to love it… I’m going to put a ring on it."

The thing is, Shannon"s older daughter, Pumpkin, is getting married in Las Vegas — and Shannon basically wants to crash that wedding by also holding one of hers.

“I promised that I’m not going to ruin Pumpkin’s wedding day,” says Mama June. "But that doesn’t mean that I can’t get married in Vegas.”

It sort of does.

Khloe Kardashian: Kim Won"t Let Me Marry Tristan Thompson!!

While insiders worry that Khloe Kardashian may ban her family from criticizing Tristan on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe has her own worries.

Khloe apparently wants to marry Tristan, and it sounds like she hopes that the wedding ceremony will give them a total relationship do-over.

But Kim is doubling down on her objections. Is the Kardashian family headed for civil war?

RadarOnline reports that Khloe is struggling to get her family to accept that she’s still wtih Tristan.

“She’s begged the family to get behind her and forgive him,” the insider reveals of Khloe.

It sounds like those pleas haven’t been entirely effective.

Sure, she and Kendall might double-date, but some of her siblings are still horrified by Tristan’s humiliating cheating scandal.

The source goes on to say that Khloe wants this “so they can have the wedding of their dreams.”

In other words, she’s reportedly planning a huge wedding for some time in the future, and she will of course want all of her family involved.

Khloe reportedly wants to tie the knot “and start afresh as a family.”

It sounds like she hopes that the build-up to such a wedding will wash away all past misdeeds and scandals.

Khloe may not respect herself enough to kick Tristan to the curb, but her sister Kim is standing up for her.

Kim, the insider reveals, “is flat-out refusing to give her blessing.”

That’s no surprise, given that Kim doesn’t even want to see Tristan on Instagram — the two have unfollowed each other.

Kim has a degree of … intensity that not all of the Kardashian siblings share.

It sounds like she objects to Tristan with the same tenacity with which she continues to defend Kanye West’s awful behavior.

The source says that Kim isn’t backing down, “and there’s every chance she’ll lead a major family boycott of the nuptials.”

Kim and Khloe’s reported disagreement sounds like it could split this family in two. Wow.

Of course, Khloe has to know that there are alternatives to a huge family wedding.

“Khloe talks about eloping,” the source reveals, which explains why we heard about Khloe wanting to elope with Tristan last month.

Sometimes, when your dream wedding doesn’t seem perfect, the best thing to do is scrap the idea and get married on your own terms.

Eloping may be on her mind, the insider says, “but in reality that’s the last thing she wants.”

Khloe’s dreams of a perfect relationship may have been dashed when Tristan’s penis went on tour, but it’s said that she’s clinging extra hard to a perfect wedding to make it right.

As we said, it sounds like she’s really seeing this wedding as something that could clean the slate.

Quite frankly, it doesn’t sound like Khloe eloping is likely to happen at all.

“She’s desperate for a splashy, romantic affair with her sisters as bridesmaids,” the insider reveals.

As important as her family is to her, it sounds like she also has some other priotieis.

She wants her siblings there, the source says, “and a lucrative TV deal wouldn’t be bad, either.”

No it would not. And though the Kardashians have been dominating the reality television scene for over a decade, that kind of affair would still get plenty of viewers.

But Khloe worries that none of these dreams can come true.

The insider laments: “that’s all up in the air because of her family’s hatred of Tristan.”

The Kardashians always talk about how “the power of family is everything.” Which is definitely true … if your family happens to include Kris Jenner.

But this kind of schism, so intense that it’s largely playing out behind the scenes (if they’re not using their conflicts to promote their brands, that’s when you know that things are bad), looks like a big deal.

Sometimes, relationships between friends or siblings can seem unbreakable … until one party gets obsessed with a man and loses all of her sense.

Has that happened to Khloe?

Kim may have no room to talk when it comes to her man’s bad behavior, but she has to know that a relationship with cheating this bad, this early can’t last forever.

She may be just waiting to say “I told you so.”

But if any of Khloe’s loved ones really want her to give Tristan the boot, they may want to consider what good parents know.

Just give your support — if not approval — and act like the relationship doesn’t bother you. That way, Khloe will be less defensive about Tristan.

Lowering her guard may give her the clarity to see Tristan’s behavior for what it truly is.

Sophia Bush Confesses: I Never Wanted to Marry Chad Michael Murray

Sophia Bush has been divorced from Chad Michael Murray for well over a decade.

The former One Tree Hill co-stars got married in April of 2015 and split up just five months later, shattering the hopes and dreams of all who watched and adored their WB drama.

This all played out a very long time ago, yet Bush stopped by Andy Cohen’s Sirius XM radio show this week and dredged up the ancient and awkward past.

In an interview with the Bravo executive, Bush actually said she didn’t even marry Murray out of love.

She agreed to the legal union due to pressure from those associated with One Tree Hill.

“It was like the second season, but everyone’s been 22 and stupid,” Bush said of the relationship, adding that marriage “was not a thing I actually really wanted to do” and later explaining:

“Ladies have to learn how to take up space in the way that men are taught that they are entitled to.”

Interesting, huh?

And very layered and sort of vague and confusing, right?

“If you didn’t want to get married, how do you get to the point of being talked into it?” asked Cohen.

“How do you let everybody down?” the actress responded, continuing:

“And how do you – what’s the fight and when you have bosses telling you that you’re the only person who gets a person to work on time and 200 people either get to see their kids at night or they don’t because our days start on time?”

So… Bush was talked into being with Murray because she could control him on set?

“Life is always loaded,” she told Cohen. “What the public knows ever is never – it’s not the tip of the iceberg.

“Hilarie [Burton] and I used to laugh and we were like, ‘If we had a behind-the-scenes show, the drama would be so much f-cking better than the drama that the writers write."” 

Shortly after her interview with viral, Bush tried to walk back her apparent criticism of Murray.

She Tweeted that she was making fun of herself, not her former co-star and husband.

“When you’re taking the piss out of yourself – b/c people can’t let the past go & you really wish they would – & gossip rags try to turn it into inappropriate drama rather than self-deprication,” she wrote.

“Don’t twist people’s words, y’all. If it wasn’t clear, I was making fun of MYSELF.”

Murray, however, was among those who took offense to Bush bringing up their marriage all this time later.

Especially when she did absolutely say that the romance had as much to do with her professional obligations as how she actually felt about Murray.

“This story is ludicrous,” a rep for the actor said in a response statement, adding:

“Chad conducts himself in a completely professional manner and would never marry for any reason but love.

“Thirteen years since his divorce from Sophia, he has a very happy family life with his wife and children.

“He has completely moved on and doesn’t feel the need to engage in this type of behavior.”

Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Are Planning to Marry and Her Dad Is PISSED, Source Claims

When the world first learned that Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are dating, it was widely assumed that the relationship would last about as long as one of Scott’s many rehab stints.

But one year later, in spite of frequent rumors that Scott and Sofia have broken up, the couple is still going strong.

And it’s all much to the chagrin of Sofia’s famous father, Lionel Richie.

Lionel might be easy like Sunday morning most of the time, but when it comes to Scott and Sofia’s relationship, the singer-songwriter is not exactly dancing on the ceiling.

In fact, it seems he’s taken steps to ensure that Scott will not be able to get his hands on the Richie family fortune by marrying Sofia.

Insiders say the actions are less about Lionel protecting his finances, and more about dissuading Scott from continuing a romantic relationship with Sofia under false pretenses.

“Lionel’s preparing a $ 200 million prenup,” a source tells In Touch Weekly.

“He hates Scott and has tried to tell Sofia to leave him, but she won’t.”

“Lionel is a multimillionaire and Sofia has a huge trust fund,” another insider adds.

“He doesn’t want Scott getting a cent of it!”

Yes, Scott might have a decent-sized nest egg from his years with Kourtney Kardashian — during which he starred on a lucrative reality show and never had to spend a dime of his own money — but he also enjoys an insanely lavish lifestyle.

Disick’s not sitting on “never work again” money, and while he earns what most of us what consider a very nice living from social media endorsements it’s far from sufficient to support the kind of lifestyle Scott is accustomed to.

Plus, Scott’s been in the business long enough to know that that well is bound to dry up as his relationship with Kourtney becomes a distant pop cultural memory, and he continues to spend less and less time on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

So Lionel’s not wrong to be skeptical of Scott’s intentions.

And he also hasn’t shied away from expressing his thoughts on Scott and Sofia’s relationship.

“She’s 19. When you’re 19, you know everything. Is it going to be for life? I don’t know,” Richie said in February.

“But for right now, it’s just a phase and I’m going to stand real still in the corner, get me a good drink and not make too much noise.”

Hopefully, he doesn’t stand too far back.

And hopefully Scott doesn’t follow his lead and enjoy a drink or 15 of his own.

Queen Elizabeth II FINALLY Grants Prince Harry Permission to Marry Meghan Markle!

We’re less than one week away from the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and sources say the giddy couple is feverishly attending to all the last-minute details.

The royal invitations have been sent out; Meghan’s been fitted for her dress; the town crier is warming up his vocal cords so that he can scream in the faces of unsuspecting peasants who are already receiving real-time updates on their phones.

And of course, Queen Elizabeth II has granted Harry and Meghan permission to get married.

Pretty important step, that last one, which is why some folks find it strange that it seems the Queen just got around to granting her royal consent over the weekend.

On Sunday, Buckingham Palace posted an image of the “Instrument of Consent” – a hand-written document that records “Her Majesty The Queen’s consent to the Marriage of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle.”

Again, it’s nice that they made it all fancy and official, but it’s a little weird that they waited until one week before the freakin’ wedding to have QE2 sign on the dotted line.

We hate to get all morbid, but as a rule of thumb, if you need a 92-year-old to sign something, it’s best to take care of that ASAP and not wait until the very last second.

That’s the thing with 92-year-olds – you never know when it’ll be their very last second.

Anyway, the fancy drawings in the margins aren’t just the doodles of some bored royal scribe.

Apparently, it’s part of Prince Harry’s Label, which is one of the many official things he was assigned at birth.

But in case you were all set to get pissed off about the lack of ‘Merica representation on a document that you never heard of until just now – fear not.

Meghan’s homeland is reflected on the Instrument of Consent, as well.

The right side of the document is reportedly decorated with a rose – the official flower of the United States – and two golden poppies – the official flower of Meghan’s home state of California.

Yes, apparently the US has an official flower.

Obviously, we would’ve preferred a screaming bald eagle clutching an AR-15 in one talon and the severed head of Osama Bin Laden in the other, but you take what you can get. 

Here’s hoping Meg will represent her country by open-carrying during the ceremony.

Lamar Odom to Khloe Kardashian: Dump Tristan Thompson & Marry ME!

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian while she was pregnant with his child.

That news was shocking enough on its own – but what happened next really threw fans for a loop.

It was widely assumed that Khloe would dump Tristan, but weeks after the allegations surfaced, nothing of the sort has happened.

In fact, rumors that Khloe still plans to marry Thompson have been circulating on social media.

Needless to say, there are many who find these developments deeply distressing.

Khloe’s family has issued ultimatums; her fans are encouraging her to seek help, and to the surprise of absolutely no one – a shadowy figure from Khloe’s past has once again swooped in hoping to take advantage of her vulnerable state.

We’re talking, of course, about NBA star-turned-uncle who always needs to borrow five bucks, Lamar Odom.

According to In Touch Weekly, Odom has joined the masses in encouraging Khloe to kick Tristan to the curb … and, hey, ya know, if she feels like giving old Lam-Lam a second chance, that might be cool, too.

Amazingly, Khloe’s family is said to be so fed up with Tristan that they’re actually encouraging Odom’s attempts at an intervention:

“Khloe needs help,” a source tells the tabloid.

“Lamar might have done some crazy things but he loved her. He loved her more than life itself. It’s eating him up watching Khloé being abused and taken advantage of by Tristan,” the insider adds.

He wants her to dump him so bad.”

Lamar swears his intentions are pure, and he only wants to help Khloe out of a bad situation as a way of expressing gratitude for the way she rushed to his side after he nearly died of a drug overdose in 2015:

“Lamar knows Khloé’s going through hell and would like to be there for her just like she was for him when he was knocking on death’s door,” the source explained.

“He has the utmost respect, love, and admiration for Khloé and is tremendously happy she’s had her first child. Truth be told — Lamar wishes he were the father.”

In the past, Lamar has benefited from Khloe’s short memory, as she took him back after repeated f-ck ups.

This time, however, it looks like Tristan will be grabbing his own rebound:

“Khloé never learns from her mistakes,” says a second insider.

“She forgave Lamar for cheating, and now she’s doing the same thing with Tristan. She thinks marriage will be the answer to their problems, even though it’s clear she can never trust him again.” 

Yeah, Lamar!

Khloe’s not gonna keep forgiving men who have done her wrong over and over again.

She has strict 17 strikes and you’re out rule!

Khloe Kardashian: I Want to MARRY Tristan Thompson!

Sometimes in life, we’re forced to watch friends and loved ones make mistakes that we know will only cause them pain and heartache.

We might want to hogtie them, throw them in our trunk, and head for the nearest international border, but generally, the best thing we can do is hold our tongues and hope they learn a lesson that will help them in the future.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule …

And if the latest rumors about Khloe Kardashian are true, her family might do well to consider the strong rope and Mexico option.

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe will she was pregnant with his child.

Shortly thereafter, Khloe welcomed her first child – and that wasn’t the week’s only miraculous development.

Khloe also made the truly boss decision to throw Tristan out of his own house and take up residence there herself.

For a while, family, friends, and fans were confident she would be able to extricate herself from a truly horrendous situation.

There were even rumors that Khloe had already dumped Tristan and was simply waiting until the conclusion of the NBA playoffs to announce her decision.

Sadly, it now appears as though she’s had a change of heart.

Insiders say Khloe revealed to her family this week that despite all the tumult of the past month, she still plans to marry Tristan in the near future.

“Friends can’t believe she would consider giving him a second chance, let alone marry him,” a source tells In Touch Weekly.

“Khloe never learns from her mistakes,” the insider explains.

“She forgave Lamar [Odom] for cheating, and now she’s doing the same thing with Tristan. She thinks marriage will be the answer to their problems, even though it’s clear she can never trust him again.”

Yes, anyone who’s ever been married can tell you that marriage is easy, uncomplicated, and automatically fixes every problem in your relationship.

And marrying a guy who’s already a known cheater?

Why, that’s never created problems for anyone, ever.

We sympathize with Khloe’s plight, as she’s been open about her desire for marriage and a family over the years, but this is clearly not the way to go about it.

Hopefully, Kris Jenner and company have their bungee cords and passports at the ready.

Blake Shelton: I Really Might Marry Gwen Stefani!

Blake Shelton would really prefer it if you did NOT believe everything you read.

Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple reports about Shelton and Gwen Stefani splitting up.

For whatever reason, it’s like people just don’t want to accept that these two artists are fully and truly in love.

“Gwen doesn’t know what hit her. She’s heartbroken,” In Touch Weekly wrote as recently as last month about the alleged demise of this romance.

But Shelton is here to tell you the truth straight from the horse’s mouth.

(If it’s possible for a horse to be very handsome and have a great singing voice, that is.)

In an interview with CMT’s Cody Alan over the weekend, Shelton came right out and said he thinks about marrying Stefani, making it as clear as possible that he’s in this for the VERY long run.

“I don’t think it’s anytime soon or anything,” he clarified, although he made a point to add:

“The more time that goes by, I guess, the closer you’d be getting to that.”

The question did not come out of nowhere.

It was posed up in response to Stefani’s recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where the former No Doubt frontwoman said candidly that she was very much open to marrying Shelton.

Like, soon.

Like, all it would take it him asking.

“You know what? I love weddings, the kids love him,” she told DeGeneres. “Everybody loves him. He’s lovable. I think about [marriage] all the time.”

Watch this interview HERE.

Shelton and Stefani are downright adorable together, surprising many celebrity gossip followers who thought this would be some kind of post-divorce fling.

(The stars got together not long after Shelton broke up with Miranda Lambert and Stefani broke up with Gavin Rossdale.) 

The two have now been dating for well over a year and they have the full support of the music community.

Entertainment Tonight, for example, caught up with Shelton friend and American Idol judge Luke Bryan at the Academy of Country Music awards on Sunday, where he said the following about any future Blake-Gwen nuptials:

“I’ll do the sermon. The sermon? The service? I would be honored to marry Blake and Gwen.”

He then made a joke at his buddy’s expense:

“If Blake were smart, he would marry her before she goes to an optometrist. Every time I meet Gwen, she’s holding her phone way out here. I’m like, ‘That’s it, she can’t see!"”

LOL.

As for chatter that Stefani is pregnant, let’s all slow down and chill out with that talk.

She’s 48 years old and she already has three kids.

We do not see children in Shelton and Stefani’s future, as much as some folks out there and nearly every tabloid would love to see this happen.

We’ll just be content instead to sit back and watch these adorable lovers gush over each other in public, quietly wishing they really do tie the knot someday.

“I love you, pretty girl, #truth,” Shelton recently wrote on Instagram.

These two are the best.
