The second half of the second season of Fox’s smash hit Empire airs Wednesday March 30, 2016, on Fox at 9 EST/8 CT. The premiere episode is entitled “Death Will Have His Day”. The episode is being directed by Danny Strong. This will be the first episode since the mid-season finale, “Et Tu, Brute?” which premiered all the way back on December 2, 2015.

People have been going crazy for this show. Taraji P. Henson, who plays Cookie, has become a household name due to the show. And even though he blew his chance to be an Avenger, Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard is always solid.

Empire tells the story of Lucious, the founder and CEO of a successful record label has been diagnosed with ALS. He must choose one of his three sons to take over the company when he dies. Meanwhile, his ex wife and co-founder, Cookie, has been released from prison and wants to reclaim her rightful place in the company.

An Iraqi militant group is getting major attention after setting up an Instagram account that calls on the opinion of their followers to determine the fate of captured ISIS members.

The group goes by the name Iraqi Swat (or Iraq Special Operation Force1) and posts photos of captured ISIS fighters to their account, then asks followers to vote if they should kill the person or let them go. Users have an hour to respond to the photos before a final decision is made.

While the account has been up for a few months now (Instagram has shut down numerous accounts in the past), it didn’t start garnering much attention until yesterday when the below image went viral on Imgur:

The photo amassed a ton of comments, and everyone seemed to agree on the outcome:

The group did wind up killing the person pictured, although it looks like Instagram took down the original post, which shows the man’s dead body. However, the original photo can still be found on Imgur.

It remains unclear as to what the group actually is — a special forces group supported by the Iraqi government or a rogue militia fighting ISIS on their own — but what is clear is how crazy the whole thing is. The account is pretty intense and now has over 84,000 followers. With a bio that reads “No mercy for ISIS,” we can’t say we’re surprised.

Check out some of the account’s photos below.

Who is Michelle Monaghan, and why does that name ring a bell? Like, you’ve totally heard of her, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. I don’t blame you, I was the same way. Odds are, you’ve seen her in either The Bourne Supremacy, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang , Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Constantine, The Heartbreak Kid, Gone Baby Gone, Eagle Eye, Source Code,  Due Date or True Detective. See, she has been in a lot. Her latest show, Hulu’s The Path, premieres on March 30, starring alongside Aaron Paul.

But let’s get back to the reason you’re here, Michelle Monaghan’s hottest photos. At 40 years old, she’s got a total MILF vibe to her. While some of you might think she’s pretty average, I’m here to tell you why you’re wrong. Those of you who recognize her from True Detective know exactly what I’m talking about. For those who don’t, let me catch you up with one her scenes from her season on True Detective, which is on Youtube:

Poetry in motion, I know. So now that we’re all on the same page, you can check out her 22 hottest. You’re welcome.

Earlier today, a disturbed Egyptian man hijacked EgyptAir Flight MS181 and demanded that the plane land in Cyprus.

Moments later, an even crazier passenger asked the hijacker–who claimed to be wearing a suicide vest–for a selfie photo. I’m not claiming to understand what’s going through the mind of a man who believes he’s going to blow up at 70,000 feet, but I can’t imagine that asking your future murderer for a couple thousand “likes” is among the most important things to do.

It’s like the 2016 version of Brian McKnight’s “Back At One” music video, but instead of calling his girlfriend or wife he’s taking one for the ‘Gram.

Anyways, we digress. Check out the soon to be infamous Egypt Air selfie below.

Thankfully the whole situation ended peacefully. The hijacker was not a terrorist, but in fact a disturbed Egyptian man who wanted to pass along a message to his wife living in Cyprus. Once Flight MS181 landed at the Larnaca airport, the hijacker released all the passengers but eight. Eventually, he released the rest and turned himself in.

A white male San Francisco State University student was accosted by a black female University employee (and probable student) just because he had dreadlocks.

Although the video recording starts halfway through the interaction, it seems as though the employee, who seems to work in the mail room, takes offense at the fact the white rasta wannabe is “appropriating” her culture. In fact, the very first thing we hear is her asking her friend Inspector Gadget is whether or not he has any scissors.

As lame and painful as this is to write: that’s a threat.

The whole scene is absolutely ridiculous. First, because I thought that people like the white guy disappeared in the early 2000’s. Second, because the nerve of the woman to stop someone who’s clearly bought 100% into the Rasta thing for appropriating her culture is pretty infuriating.

Then even more upsetting is that Dreadlocks clearly tries to walk away from the situation, when she grabs him and then tries to accuse him of putting his hands on her.

Every time we see one of those “We Bet You Can’t Get The Answer To This Children’s Puzzle!” we make the mistake of trying to find the answer. Every damn time. And every f*cking time, we come out feeling dumber than we did 15 minutes prior. How can a kid be smarter than us? HOW?!

Unfortunately the above riddle is no exception. It was once featured in a children’s magazine way back when, and is now making its rounds on the Internet because no one can figure out what the hell is going on. Try to answer the below questions after looking at the photo above:

1. How many tourists are staying at this camp?
2. When did they arrive: today or a few days ago?
3. How did they get there?
4. How far away is the closest town?
5. Where does the wind blow from: north or south?
6. What time of day is it?
7. Where did Alex go?
8. Who was on duty yesterday?
9. What day is today?

Those are a sh*t ton of questions. How can I memorize the photo that quickly? And who the f*ck is Alex? WTF IS HAPPENING?!

Are you smart enough to understand any of this? Scroll down for the answers.

2. They arrived a few days ago, otherwise the spider web on the tent wouldn’t be there.

3. They got there by boat since there’s oars on the tree.

4. No, a village isn’t far since there’s a chicken wandering around. This we’re kind of lost about, but ok. Whatever.

5. The wind is blowing from the south. The flag on top of the tend shows which way the wind is blowing, and you’re supposed to deduce which direction is south by the length of the branches on the trees (branches on the southern side of trees are normally longer). You have to be SUPER observant to get that.

6. You can tell that it’s morning, but only if you were able to solve the previous question – if you know where north and south are, you can now figure out east and west and determine the time of day based on the shadows. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?!

7. Alex is catching butterflies. You can see his net behind the tent.

8. Colin was on duty yesterday, since Alex is catching butterflies and James is taking pictures (his camera tripod sticks out of his bag). That means Peter was on duty today, and by process of elimination Colin was yesterday.

9. Today is August 8^th. Peter is on duty according to the list, and there’s a watermelon on the ground, which apparently ripen in August. But like, who the f*ck knows that?

Whatever. OVER IT.

Two new songs from Drake “Controlla” and “These Days” just leaked. If you’re like us and dying for some new Drizzy after Kanye’s The Life of Pablo hangover, you’re in for some good news.

Whether or not these are songs from his highly-anticipated album Views From The 6 we have no idea, we just know that we’re really digging “Controlla” featuring Popcaan. “Controlla” has some serious dancehall riddim you can vibe to.

“These Days” is a semi-cover of a song by German pop star Nico who has a song also called “These Days.”

Stream the songs via our embedded player below.

Be careful with Tinder. It could give you Victoria’s Secret models in lingerie, a black eye, and a trashed apartment, all on the same day.

Colby Kirmse, 40, is a former real estate broker who met Heather Payne on Tinder. The couple had gone on a few dates before she woke up at his Manhattan apartment and discovered risque texts he’d been sending to other women.

Payne’s reaction was immediate and brutal.

“I . . . woke up to her screaming at me with my cell in her hand, going through every text,’’ Kirmse said.

The blond model-turned-clothing designer, 42, repeatedly punched Kirmse in the face, tossed his TV remote out the window, chucked his laptop across the room and shoved his TV off its stand, according to New York Post.

“My apartment was destroyed, and I got beat up by an ex-model — not one of my highlights,” said Kirmse.

He said the two of them never agreed to an exclusive relationship and he had exchanged some steamy texts and photos with other women.

“She just destroyed everything in her path like a Tasmanian devil,” he added, which left him with a black eye.

Kirmse admitted that the worst part of the ordeal was when his mom called him — after Payne had allegedly forwarded her the racy texts.

“My mom was like, ‘What are all these pictures of erections?’” said Kirmse.

Ouch. Sucks to be you, Colby Kirmse.

Ancient Proverb: “If you go out drinking, but don’t post about it on social media, did it really happen?”

When it comes to gathering data on the activities of college kids, Twitter is a good place to start. At least, that was the idea behind a recent analysis conducted by the content marketing firm Fractl. Over the course of the 2014/2015 school year, all the alcohol-related tweets—posts including keywords like “drunk,” “drinking,” “alcohol,” “booze,” “beer” or “wine”—that were made within 3 miles of the center of campus were tallied up.

The rankings were then calculated by applying the number per capita, based on the school’s enrollment. The results have been posted to CollegeStats.org. There are two lists: one for “large schools” and another for “medium schools.” In this analysis, “large schools” are defined as colleges where enrollment exceeds 15,000 students, while “medium schools” have 10,000 to 15,000 students.

Here are the top ten largest universities with the most drinking-tweets per capita:

(Drunken drum roll, please)

The Top 10 Large Schools

1. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
2. West Virginia University
3. Virginia Commonwealth University
4. Ohio University
5. California State University, Chico
6. Indiana University of Pennsylvania
7. University of South Carolina
8. Boise State University
9. Eastern Michigan University
10. Bowling Green State University

And, now, the drunkest “medium schools”:

(Cue another unrhythmic drum roll)

The Top 10 Midsized Schools

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2. Savannah College of Art and Design
3. College of Charleston
4. Johnson & Wales University
5. Tufts University
6. Strayer University
7. University of Southern Maine
8. Yale University
9. University of Michigan-Flint
10. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

It’s important to note that this analysis looked at geolocated tweets, which means they’re organized by location. So, it’s possible that some of them were made by people who weren’t students. However, many of the schools in these lists have residential campuses, so it’s unlikely that there were enough non-students posting in that location to make a difference.

So what’s the moral of the story here? College kids (and those surrounding them) love to drink to get drunk. Just like the rest of us. They also love to brag about it on Twitter. Noted.

Faith Evans Facebook

Faith Evans just announced that The King & I, a brand-new duet album she’s working on with her dead husband The Notorious BIG, is close to being finished. That’s great news for both R&B and hip hop heads who have been left wondering why Tupac had so much unreleased music, while Biggie had very little.

[Editor’s note: The real reason why is because Tupac was significantly older than Biggie and had been rapping for much longer. But point taken.]

Faith broke the news on Dame Dash’s radio show yesterday, where she said that she’s in the “finishing stages.” Go ahead and skip ahead to 23:08 where she phones into Dame’s show:

The King & I Timeline:

Faith Evans has been working on The King and I project since at least October 2015. And as she told Dame Dash on the radio show, she’s very close to finishing it. She told him that they’re looking for an early September release for the album and that a single should be on the way in early Summer.

On the show, Faith told Dame that “I know if he was alive, ultimately we would have done something like this.”

The King & I Details:

At this time, it’s unknown whether or not The King & I will use unreleased tracks or audio. We can say that Faith revealed that she’s developing a hologram of Biggie.

“We’re in development of a hologram, but I don’t know necessarily to what extent I’m going to perform with it.”

So basically, now would definitely be a good time to start studying. Business Insider interviewed a former Goldman Sachs analyst, and he dropped a truth bomb that no one wants to hear.

In the dog eat dog world of Wall Street, you have to do everything you can to stand out among the crowd. In 2015, Goldman Sachs had 59,000 applicants for roughly 2,900 summer intern positions. So, yeah, the odds are not in your favor (or however that Hunger Game quote goes).

According to the analyst, grade point average is “the first thing you look at on the résumé, and it should be 3.6, preferable 3.7 or higher.” Well, there goes ya boy’s promising future as a Wall Street investor. Looks like I won’t be getting a job at Goldman Sachs anytime soon.

The analyst seems to get how real it is out here, even offering advice on how to make your GPA, seem more, uh, respectable. “Show it to 2 decimals if the decimal is under 5,” the person said. “But if the second decimal of the GPA is over 5, round to the nearest 10th.” What he’s basically saying is that if your GPA is 3.83, don’t round down. But if it’s 3.65 or 3.66, then round up and show it as 3.7.

So go out there and grind people.

Cody from Smooth POV went to Lake Havasu for Spring Break seeking out an answer to an age-old question: does size really matter? You’ve thought about it. You’ve whipped out the measuring tape, looked up average stats online, and even asked your girlfriends if you were the biggest they’d ever seen (note: whatever the answer, they were probably lying to you). But now, we have a new answer.

According to a bunch of hot drunk girls on Spring Break, hell yeah it does.

Not only is everyone in this video insanely loud and drunk, they’ll also only pay attention to you if you’re well-endowed. It may not be the answer you wanted to hear, but at least it’s something. Now you don’t have to wonder if you’re inadequate because yes, you probably are. But that’s ok! There are bound to be people out there who don’t give a sh*t that you’re no bigger than a tube of lipstick. We all have our faults, right?! Dry your tears and move on.

This is not a drill.

Rob Gronkowski, Gronk, or as I like to think of him, a cross between a gladiator, Johnny Manziel, Dan Bilzerian, and Tom Hanks in Big, has joined Instagram. And as Gronk usually does, he came in HOT AF. It’s a 60 second video of Gronk doing Gronk things. Behold:

His Instagram username is simply Gronk.

I mean, let’s talk logistics here. This is literally his first Instagram post, and he has already exceeded most people’s entire social media profile history. I can only imagine where he takes it from here. We know he won’t do anything that stupid. See, the difference between Manziel and Gronk is, as unintelligent as Gronk may be, he isn’t an a**hole, and he’s smart enough to not get caught partying. I have no doubt that Gronk probably does blow. I mean come on, look at the guy. And they don’t even test in the off season. But he’s smart enough not to do it in a f*cking bathroom where anyone can easily Snapchat a quick picture of you.

Gronk is essentially this kid from Black Mass, as he learned long ago that it’s not what you do, but when and where you do it, and who you do it to or with:

Speaking of Snapchat, is Gronk on Snapchat? He needs to be on Snapchat.

Boom Technology

In today’s modern world, faster is better. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, the record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean was 4.5 days by ship, which, at the time, was jaw-dropping. Nowadays, the same trip can be made in about 6 hours—by air. Impressive, right?

Well, it seems that isn’t good enough for Boom Technology. According to the company’s website:

Today, international travel means jet-lag and days of lost productivity and family time. But imagine leaving New York in the morning, making afternoon meetings in London, and being home to tuck your kids into bed…This isn’t science fiction—it’s possible now with today’s aerodynamics, carbon fiber composites, and the latest engine technology.

Say hello to the Boom supersonic passenger plane, the mere existence of which would have probably caused the Wright Brothers‘ heads to explode. Scheduled to be released in 2017, this new jet will be able to travel at Mach 2.2. That’s 1,451 miles per hour, which will make it almost 100 MPH faster than the Concorde jet and 2.6x faster than other airliners in the sky right now.

“This is supersonic passenger air travel, no bullshit, and it’s actually affordable,” said Blake Scholl, Boom’s founder and CEO, in a recent interview with The Guardian. Scholl is a certified pilot, as well as a former Amazon excutive.

Boom Technology

Initially, only three routes will be offered: London to New York, San Francisco to Tokyo, and Los Angeles to Sydney. Boom says that it will only cost $5,000 for round trip from New York to London—the same price as business class on many airliners today. However, the difference is that the flight will only take 3.5 hours. It’ll be $6,500 for San Francisco to Tokyo in 4.7 hours, and 6 hours and $7,000 for Los Angeles to Sydney.

The prototype is currently under construction in Denver, Colorado. It’s set to take to the air next year. So, you know — save your pennies.

New York Daily News

Kristen Johnson may have done something stupid, but all of upstate New York is in mourning. Or at least, we think they are.

The 27-year-old blonde is definitely a hot nurse, but will most likely never practice in the medical field again. Johnson surrendered her license after she was convicted of taking photos of an unconscious patient’s appendages in 2014. According to Syracuse.com, she also used her iPhone 5 to take a video of another nurse cleaning an incapacitated female patient’s gastrointestinal blood clot where the patient’s rectum could be seen.

Weird, right? It gets weirder — she then took the content and decided to text it to people, including some of her fellow colleagues. Because she’s really, really smart.

The state Board of Regents announced that did “not contest the charge of moral unfitness in the practice,” and yeah… you can see where this is going.

Ok, we get that. But can we just admire her one last time? Stupidity and all?

New York Daily News

Yeah. She pled guilty in November to “disseminating of unlawful surveillance photos,” and received three year’s probation.

Dammit Kristen! We wouldn’t be in this situation if you just thought for ONE SECOND! WAY TO RUIN IT FOR ALL OF US!

[H/T: New York Daily News]

From positioned coffee mugs to flawless (yet clearly filtered) “candids” of your favorite celebs, it’s hard to believe anything online is real anymore and now with the new Instagram update taking effect, there’s no better time to acquaint yourself with this rad AF message request app called, Bombd.

Your friends use their feeds to show you the life they want to have, and you spend your time scrolling through the life they want you to see. When did social media become over-filtered, over saturated and just… overly fake? Now, add in the possibility that Instagram may be holding your BFF’s images hostage to favor some some chick’s tea slanging account you randomly followed all in the name of an algorithm a la Facebook style. Bombd ain’t about that life.

Meet Bombd, an Australian app that recently opened offices in Venice Beach, CA., changing the photoshopped face of social networking. The concept is pretty simple: Instead of randomly posting content to be shared and seen by everyone, users “bomb” other users with requests for photos and content.

Bombd: First Message Request App Launches On Spring Break

Bombd, the world’s first message request app, has been tearing it up down in South

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE →

But here’s the real kicker: When someone receives a “bomb,” he/she has three hours to trigger it before it expires. And once it’s triggered? The user’s camera automatically launches and he/she has seven seconds to take a badass photo.

No retakes. No filters. No edits.

Only seven seconds to pose. Just real content from your real friends showing their real lives.

Download Bombd on iTunes | Google Play

It’s taking off, too. In the first three weeks, Bombd has registered more than 11,000 users (significantly more than Snapchat’s first couple weeks) and generated more than 60,000 Bombd requests. Here are the nine reasons why people have started to bomb:

1. You can step up your group message.

• You can set up “squads” in the app for you and a couple of friends. Someone not responding in the group text? Collectively bomb ‘em. Can’t figure out where the party’s at? Request a bomb from your crew.

• You can also play group games. For example, some people have used Bombd as a photo competition among friends. May the best bomb win.

2. Say goodbye to “wyd.”

• Instead of asking someone what’s up, you can simply request a photo of what they’re doing right then and there. Easy.

3. You could become BOMBDfamous.

• If you start receiving an insane number of Bombd requests, you’ll start trending on the app. You profile will then be recommended to other users.

4. You can hold onto moments forever… or delete them whenever you want.

• Embarrassed after the bomb? Delete it. Think that shit’s gold? Keep it in the app forever. It’s up to you!

5. Bomb your favorite event hosts.

• Sometimes, it’s difficult to find the best party (and trust that’s it’s just as wild as your friends’ Instagrams make it seem), but Bombd makes it easy to request photos from anywhere. So, about to come through? Wanna see if the party’s fly? Bomb someone for an immediate update.

6. Take your flirting to level 100.

• Bombd is a casual way to request interaction with people. That means you can “bomb” the new guy/girl you met at the bar and avoid coming off as desperate or needy. It’s a way to start the conversation and show interest—without sending something yourself.

7. It’ll be harder for friends to “forget” to respond.

• If a user receives a bomb request, that user will also get notifications—reminding them when the bomb expires and if they have or have not responded.

8. Get ready for unfiltered content.

No more filters, no more games. There’s no way to stage or edit a photo in Bombd. You can’t add a sepia tone or buff out blemishes. Every bomb has to keep it real.

9. You’ve gotta be candid.

• That being said, you don’t have any second chances. Once you trigger a bomb, that’s it. You have seven seconds to send along a golden photo. That also means if you get an incredible “bomb,” you’re witnessing something on the fly—something that was perfect the first time.

The NCAA Tournament began with 68 teams less than three weeks away. It is now down to the Final Four as March Madness comes to an end this weekend in Houston. In one semifinal, it will be the Villanova Wildcats facing the Oklahoma Sooners while in the other semifinal; it will be a battle of ACC teams when the Syracuse Orange plays the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Villanova was a No. 2 seed and is 33-5 for the season behind Coach Jay Wright. The Wildcats have four players who are averaging in double figures for the season including leading scorer Josh Hart, who is averaging 15.3 points a game. Kris Jenkins averages 13.5 a game while Ryan Arcidiacono scores 12.3 points per game on average. This is a very talented Wildcats team who will have a huge challenge in front of them facing Oklahoma and their star Buddy Hield.

Oklahoma was also a 2 seed and will bring a 29-7 record into the Final Four after finishing in third place in the Big 12 Conference during the regular season.  It is all about what Hield is up to after he scored 37 points in the Elite 8 to advance the Sooners. Hield is averaging 25.4 points a game and is clearly the national player of the year. Jordan Woodard and Isaiah Cousins each average about 13 points a game while Ryan Spangler averages 10.3 points and 9.2 rebounds a game.

Syracuse is just 23-13 for the season and only finished .500 in the ACC for the year but they found a way as a No. 10 seed to advance all the way to the national semifinals behind Jim Boeheim. Michael Gbinije leads the team while averaging 17.6 points a game. Malachi Richardson and Trevor Cooney are both near 13 points a game while Tyler Lydon is just over the 10-point a game mark. Can the Orange continue their magical ride or will they run into a brick wall against a team that is very familiar with them?

North Carolina is the lone No. 1 seed to make the Final Four. The Tar Heels are 32-6 for the season and comes into this national semifinal as probably the best team left in the tournament. Brice Johnson is averaging 17.1 points a game in just 28 minutes of action. Joel Berry II, Marcus Paige and Justin Jackson all average between 12.2 and 12.8 points a game for a very consistent North Carolina attack. Will Roy Williams get another shot at a national championship? It will take two more wins to make that happen.

When Will The Final Four Be?

The Final Four will be on Saturday, April 2 and Monday, April 4 in Houston, TX at NRG Stadium.

What TV Channel Will The Final Four Be On?

The Final Four games will be played on TBS.

Smell Dating

Internet dating: it’s not just for weirdos anymore. With the main streaming of things like Tinder and OkCupid, more and more people are looking online for love. According to the Pew Research Center, 15% of American adults have owned up to using online dating sites and dating apps.

Really, it was only a matter of time before someone devised a way to make it creepy again. Enter Smell Dating, a New York-based dating service that allows you to select a partner solely based on fragrant aroma of their B.O. Smell Dating was the brainchild of artist Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne, an editor and researcher at New York University. They describe it as an “art project,” but it could very well be a bet that went way too far.

“Most normal dating services, you rely on profile pictures, assumptions that come from visual information,” Brain told Reuters. “You either really like the smell of someone or you don’t. It’s much more innate.”

Here’s how it works: for a flat fee of $25, the good people at Smell Dating mail you a t-shirt. Simply wear this shirt for three days and three nights—without deodorant—and send it back in a prepaid envelope. Then, you’ll be sent swatches from the t-shirts of other participants. If you like the smell of someone and they like your smell, then you’ll both be given each other’s contact information and you’re free to “embrace the musky possibilities.”

Yeah, it’s weird, but it’s the kind of weird that’s backed by science. According to the service’s website:

In humans, olfaction occurs when odorant molecules bind to specific sites in the olfactory receptors inside the nose. These come together at the glomerulus, a structure which transmits signals to the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe. From here, the signals are fed into the limbic system, where emotion and memory are processed, before finally passing into the language-processing frontal cortex. This particular neural pathway means that, unlike sight and sound, smell is interpreted first in terms of memory and emotion before being mapped to language. Although much remains unknown about smell perception, this cognitive process may be the reason that smell is so hard to describe in words, and often thought to be subjective.

Unfortunately, the first round of Smell Dating is closed, but there’s a waiting list—you know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

According to TMZ, paramedics responded to a medical emergency at Kehlani’s home at 1:45 PM on Monday. She has since been hospitalized and placed on psychiatric hold, but posted the following image on her Instagram account for her followers:
