Jenny Slate: Comedian Dumps Her Husband For Chris Evans?!

Actress and comedian Jenny Slate is one of those entertainers whom you’ve almost certainly seen before, but you’ve probably given little to no thought to her personal life.



Frankly, she probably preferred it that way.


But like it or not, Ms. Slate’s name is making the rounds in the world of celebrity gossip today thanks to a rumored love triangle involving none other than Captain America himself.


Sources say Slate and Chris Evans are a full-blown couple these days, which is odd, as Slate has been married to Dean Fleischer-Camp since 2012.


Apparently, Slate and Camp separated last week – not long after Slate and Evans wrapped filming on the upcoming drama Gifted.


In retrospect all the signs were there.


The actors recently gushed about one another during an episode of Anna Faris’ podcast:


“I didn’t know what to expect when I met Chris. I was a little scared because I kind of felt like, Well, I don’t know him. He’s a giant man with huge muscles and he’s Captain America. How could we ever connect?” Slate said.


“[But the] first night that we hung out, I was like, Wow, I could hang out with Chris for, like, 90 hours.”


Evans echoed the sentiment, saying, “Oddly enough, I’ve only known Jenny for a few months, which is insane to say because we’re like the same animal.”


In the past, Evans has been linked to Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Olsen, Minka Kelly, and Sandra Bullock.


It may sound like he gets around, but friends say Evans is actually a serial monogamist who’s just looking for the right girl.


In any case, they may have started under sketchy circumstances, but we like Evans and Slate as a couple.


If for no other reason than Slate deserves more starring roles, and someone with Chris’ clout might be able to make it happen, we hope these two work out.

Dog Reunites with Owner After 2 Years, Goes Utterly Insane

Anyone with a dog knows how crazy these animals can get when their owners return after just a few hours away. 


We"re talking barks… jumps… sprints… and the strong desire for some belly rubs.


So you can only imagine how a dog would react if it hadn"t seen its owner for two years, right?



Actually, you don"t need to react. You can just watch the video below.


According to the video’s YouTube description, the owner is named Jose and he lives in Wisconsin.


The dog is named Chaos.


Man and best friend were brought together after Jose went through a divorce, lost his house and eventually had to sleep in his car.


But then a friend of Jose"s actually took Chaos and refused to give him back, even after Jose got his life back together and got back on his feet.


“Chaos helped me through so much in my life, I took him everywhere with me!” Jose says. “I didn’t think I would ever see my dog again."


But then a Winnebago County Services staff member was hanging out at home in South Beloit when she found a dog in the driveway.


She called an Animal Services Officer… the dog was taken to a local shelter… and it was discovered that it was wearing a collar with a 2014 National Identification Number.


One phone call later and Jose was driving as quickly as he could to the shelter.


This is the video that was taken of him and Chaos reuniting there for the first time in years.


It takes Chaos a moment to realize that the man really his is first owner… but then once he does? LOOK OUT!!!!!!!


Man reunites with stolen bff after 2 years dog goes utterly insa

Kelly Ripa on Michael Strahan: He"s Not a Monster!

Kelly Ripa may not be speaking to Michael Strahan before live shows any longer.


But the bubbly TV personality does open up in the latest issue of People.



Just as Ripa did when she made her return to the program a few weeks ago, the host makes it very clear in this cover story that she doesn’t believe ABC treated her with respect upon announcing that Strahan would be leaving Live! for Good Morning America.


As the story goes, Ripa learned of this big career move – which has significant impact on her career, as well – basically at the same time as the American public.


She was not cool with that. At all.


“There’s a part of me that can say, ‘Okay, I understand. This may have been an oversight,"” Ripa tells People of getting the information so late.


“And again, after 26 years, at this point we are like a family.


“And sometimes when you are so comfortable with somebody, you may not give them the same consideration as somebody you’re not as comfortable with – a certain formality falls away.”


It’s sort of like the Jerry Seinfeld bit where you actually spend less time waiting somewhere for a friend to meet you than you would for a stranger.


At least to us it’s sort of like that.


Upon being told by executives that Strahan was leaving, Ripa said she needed the following day off – and then she jetted to the tropics for a pre-planned vacation.


As you can see in the clip below, Ripa then explained to viewers that the tiff boiled down to “communication, consideration and, most importantly, respect in the workplace.”



“I think that all people are deserving of fair treatment in the work place. People deserve respect,” Ripa reiterates here to the magazine. “People should be treated equally and with dignity.”


Ripa adds:


“I think that requires a certain amount of empathy on a level. When you’re dealing with big business, it’s easy to forget that you’re dealing with people and that people have feelings.


“It’s easy to just look at it like a business unit, a unit, a unit.”


The chemistry between Ripa and Strahan clearly seems off these days, although Ripa is quick to say that “I’m not dealing with monsters” in this awkward case.


“I don’t think of anybody as a monster or out to get me.”


So that’s… something we guess.


Is she “excited” for Strahan to start his new GMA job? Yes. She believes it is a “perfect match” of show and co-host.


And, at the end of the day, Ripa and the many people who work at Live! have been assured that the show isn’t going anywhere.


“People make mistakes, and we’re all human,” she concludes. “They’re human and I’m human. We all have these moments, and it’s about how you move forward and how you begin again.”


Bride and Groom Claim Guest Gave Too Cheap a Gift, Demand More

Some brides get it into their heads that wedding gifts are required/expected, completing negating the very definition of the word.



One British couple went so far as to call a guest out for only gifting them with a 100-pound check.


The guest, who said she was a former co-worker of the bride, was so upset by the request that she sought out advice from total strangers.


According to the Guardian, the woman posted her grievance to Mumsnet Forum, hoping that she wasn’t going insane by thinking the couple’s note was a bit rude.


“We were surprised that your contribution didn’t seem to match the warmth of your good wishes on our big day,” the newlyweds wrote to their guest.


“In view of your own position, if you wanted to send any adjustment it would be thankfully received.”


The guest was, understandably, horrified and opened up to the forum.


“I recently attended an ex-colleague’s wedding where, in response to a request for cash gifts, I sent what I thought was a pretty decent cheque (£100 if it matters, though I can’t help feeling it shouldn’t)


“For someone who’s not easily shocked I confess I’m utterly gobsmacked by this. So as not to drip feed I’ll mention that “your own position” probably refers to a recent inheritance I’ve had, which maybe they expected something from (and this is an ex-colleague, remember, not a close friend or relative)


“Please, anyone, what do I do now? I’ve never come across anything like this before and still can’t quite believe they’ve done it – but since they have, should I reply, ring them, ignore it or what??



One user wrote suggested the guest “email back but BCC any mutual friends in so they are able to see the email for themselves. That is entitled and grabby. It’s a gift not an obligation and many people wouldn’t have given so much to an ex-colleague.” 


Another wrote: “Whatever the circumstance that is very rude. As to whether or not the gift was appropriate: did you bowl up with a partner and six children and proceed to demolish the buffet and free bar? No? Then £100 is a generous gift to an ex-colleague.”


“It’s a gift not an obligation and many people wouldn’t have given so much to an ex colleague,” one other chimed in.


The guest was grateful for the suggestions, and wrote back to the group herself.


“It’s unlikely I’ll bump into the B&G much in future as I’m retired now, which is probably just as well,” she explained.


“However I’ve just replied to her email with one sentence: ‘I assume this was some sort of mistake?"”
