Surreal, meaning “marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream” was looked up so much by online users that Merriam-Webster on Monday dubbed it the 2016 word of the year.
Surreal joined the Oxford English Dictionary’s “post-truth” and Dictionary.com’s “xenophobia” as top words of the year.
“Our word of the year is one that people came back to over and over again in response to several events, and it gives us a look at 2016, according to what sent us to the dictionary,...
Paris Jackson is spending some quality time with her godfather Macaulay Culkin ahead of the holidays. The 18-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson posted a photo on her Instagram page Saturday showing her giving Culkin, 36, a pedicure while in New York City. “Model? nah i paint hipsters toenails for a living,” she captioned two side-by-side photos of herself giving Culkin a pedicure with a dark pink or purple polish while he laughs. The Home Alone star was close to the late King of Pop since he was a young boy and has remained close to his three children since the entertainer died in 2009. Paris shared a photo in October of the two hanging out, where she’s holding up a drawing he had made of her. “Throwback to when the best godfather ever drew me,” she captioned the picture. Super cute.
Disney and Lucasfilm's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story top-lined the fourth largest December three-day weekend ever, delivering the third largest opening of 2016, the twelfth largest opening of all-time!
New Line's Collateral Beauty, didn't fare quite so well, delivering the worst wide opening for a Will Smith-led feature ever. Not surprising since the reviews were some of the worst I've ever read. Mostly about how sappy it was and trite and plotless.

This is what you do when you have obscene money. You buy a tropical paradise on the other side of the planet to get some rest and relaxation in style. This is how Mick Jagger rolls. And when he's not using the place he's happy to let you... at a price.
For just $30,000 a week ($16k in the off season) you can lounge in the personal home (complete with photo's on the wall) of a rock legend. Jagger owns a six-bedroom and five-bathroom beachfront compound on the pristine and private West Indies island of Mustique.
The Japanese-inspired compound, dubbed Stargroves, overlooks L’Ansecoy Bay and comprises seven separate pavilions connected by a raised wooden walkway that spans a tranquil brook as it meanders through lush, coconut-palm-dotted grounds

An Italian big game hunter who posed with images of his trophy kills online died after falling 100 feet down a ravine while hunting birds.

The controversial hunter was targeting wild birds at the time, shortly after returning from another hunting trip in Canada.
“His body was recovered by helicopter and taken to a local hospital,” an Italian...
Here's the skinny on this! Christina is dating a contractor that works for the El Moussa's (though not on the tv show) named Gary Anderson.

Is it everything you hoped for?

Depp's been unloading homes for most of 2016 and apparently his international properties are going now too.
The property is in Plan De La Tour, France, about 10 miles outside of the yacht-choked harbor at Saint-Tropez. It includes an entire 19th-century hameau — a small Provençal village — with more than a dozen structures that together measure more than 10,000-square-feet with a total of 15 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. The approximately 4,300-square-foot main house and has five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, a deconsecrated church is now a guesthouse wherein the confessional was converted to a closet, and a gypsy-style covered wagon serves as a quirky guest suite complete with a bathroom and kitchen. The estate also includes a swimming pool, an art studio and a private restaurant Depp named Café Marcheline.
Asking $50 mill.

The band INXS was a bit of a phenom in their heyday. The whole thing dashed when lead singer Michael Hutchence took his own life in a hotel in Sydney Australia.
Twenty years later Hutchence will be inducted into the Australian Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside fellow INXS member Andrew Farriss.
Now there's word that a vault of previously unheard solo music has been mixed by one of the world’s best producers and its release has been given the go-ahead by his sister and the Hutchence ...
Christina El Moussa, the blonde half of the Flip or Flop couple that is all over the news, was seen out running errands yesterday, but is she covertly sending me messages via her clothes?
As reported, the pair split after a rather crazy incident involving husband Tarek making threats of self harm and leading police of a short chase of sorts... But all this broke because of a "source" that went to People mag with details.
“In a lot of ways they just seemed wildly incompatible,” the source said. “She has champagne tastes, and he’s a beer-from-a-can kind of guy.”
Fast forward to yesterday, the day after the story broke and Christina is spotted out and about in a sweatshirt reading "Drink Champagne, Can't Complain". You see where I'm going with this? Actually there's no where to go with this. But I thought the coincidence was too yummy to not share.

For a large portion of us, the year 2016 has been a complete dumpster fire. It killed our favorite musicians, elected monsters to power and led maniacs to create heinous acts of terror. But luckily the internet responded in it's usual fashion. A meme. Me at the beginning of 2016, me at the end of 2016. Enjoy.
