Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's film Sisters looks hilarious (VIDEO)

While we've long suspected that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are comedic soul mates, we never thought we'd see them playing real sisters in a movie. But luckily for us, these talented ladies have decided to explore their sibling rivalry, and we can't wait for the upcoming film Sisters!

More: Tina Fey loses her shirt on SNL, literally

The movie is about two grown sisters who decide to throw a huge house party just before their parents sell the family home. We think this could be a little like Risky Business meets the adult version of Frozen, if there is such a thing.

Anyone who has a sister knows that this particular relationship can be complicated. There's always some sort of envy or jealously left over from childhood, and oftentimes, two sisters end up with very different personality traits. But most of us know that the sisterly bond is also incredibly strong and can provide lots of humor.

Maya Rudolph and John Leguizamo also star in the film, as does one of our favorite indie actresses, Heather Matarazzo. You may remember her as Dawn Wiener from 1995's Welcome to the Dollhouse.

In 2008, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler also starred in another comedy together called Baby Mama, where Fey played a successful businesswoman who hires a surrogate (Poehler) to give birth to her baby. The film grossed over $60 million at the box office, but we have a feeling Sisters will do even better, considering all the hype Fey and Poehler will be getting from hosting the 2015 Golden Globes — and who knows? They may even return for 2016. We'll just have to wait and see.

#JeSuisCharlie: Helen Mirren wears actual pen on lapel in support of Paris

On Wednesday morning, two masked gunmen stormed the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, killing 10 staff members and two National Police officers. In the pursuit of the terrorists — who were ultimately killed — several other hostages were injured or killed.

Since the attack, the phrase "je suis Charlie," French for "I am Charlie," has become a rallying cry of unity against the attacks and in support of freedom of the press.

And although the stars filing down the red carpet and filling the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel could not join the more than 40 world leaders and millions of others marching in rallies worldwide, some found a way to honor the fallen and support the cause. Helen Mirren was perhaps the most notable.

The Hundred-Foot Journey star made a statement on the Golden Globes red carpet by pinning an actual pen to her scarlet gown in homage to the slain journalists. She also carried a sign simply reading "Je Suis Charlie."

Mirren wasn't alone in taking a stand, either.

A "Je Suis Charlie" button adorned the lapel of George Clooney's suit, and his wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney prominently displayed a matching button on her purse.

Clearly, Hollywood was rocked by the attacks like the rest of the world, and although the stars will physically spend their evening in Beverly Hills, their hearts are in Paris tonight.

After all, let's be honest... we'd gladly watch Poehler and Fey for three hours regardless of there being an award show attached. But getting to take in the industry's finest — and to watch this brilliant comedic duo make them laugh hysterically and squirm, in turns — is icing on the Golden Globes cake.

In celebration of another stellar performance from one of the most hilarious pairs in Hollywood, let's look at some of Poehler and Fey's best moments from the star-studded night.

When they said no one would be off limits... well, they weren't joking.

The pair started their monologue — which they told NBC they had to cut from 14 minutes to only 8 — by joking that the Golden Globes were a celebration of the best TV of the year, as well as "all of the movies North Korea was OK with."

Fey and Poehler quickly segued into the Sony hack and the film The Interview itself, noting that "the biggest story in Hollywood this year was when North Korea threatened an attack if Sony Pictures released The Interview, forcing us all to pretend we wanted to see it."

They made lighthearted quips about the, er, wildly successful film Wild. "Reese Witherspoon is here — loved her in the movie Wild. She did all her own walking, it was great," said Poehler.

They kidded about the movie Big Eyes, pointing out that "one of those big-eye paintings is here tonight. Let's check it out," as the camera panned to actress Emma Stone.

They also introduced the audience to "Cho Jong Un" — comedian Margaret Cho's spoof take on North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un — who later took the stage to air grievances about the show, including "You have no thousand babies playing guitar at the same time" and "Orange Is the New Black should be in the drama comedy." (Right?)

Then, in a move heralded by women the world over, they turned their attention to George Clooney and his new bride.

"George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year," said Fey. "Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an advisor to Kofi Annan on Syria and was appointed to a three-person commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza strip. So, tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award."

And, as promised, Bill Cosby's ongoing rape allegations were not off limits, either.

Chatting a bit about the Meryl Streep movie Into the Woods, Poehler said, "In Into the Woods, Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby."

She and Fey then began trading impersonations of Cosby.

It wasn't all such heavy stuff, though. Here are a few more fun zings Poehler and Fey delivered throughout the night:

Poehler: "Boyhood proves that there are still great roles for women over 40 as long as you get hired when you're under 40."

Fey: "Joaquin Phoenix is nominated for Inherent Vice, but obviously he isn't here tonight because he has said publicly that awards shows are total and utter bulls***. Oh hey, Joaquin! There he is!"

Poehler: "J.K. Simmons is here, or as Matthew McConaughey calls him, 'Just Keep Simmons.'"

Fey: "Steve Carell's Foxcatcher look took two hours to put on, including his hairstyling and makeup. Just for comparison, it took me three hours today to prepare for my role as human woman."

Poehler: "Jennifer Aniston is here tonight, nominated for the film Cake. We should explain that to the Hollywood people in the room: cake is, like, a fluffy dessert that people eat on their birthday."
Fey: "And birthdays are things people celebrate when they admit that they have aged."

What do you think? Did Poehler and Fey nail it this year?

Golden Globes: Why focusing on Amal Alamuddin Clooney's gloves is upsetting

While it's understood that Amal was there to support her husband, George Clooney — the moment was not really about her — why bother wasting the few precious moments you'll have to ask her questions, which rarely happens, with something so superficial and unimportant?

George Amal Clooney GG Twitter

George Amal Clooney GG Twitter

Here are some questions Seacrest and E! News could have asked her instead — questions women who aspire to fulfilling lives outside of their roles as "wife" or "arm candy" would appreciate hearing the answers to.

More: Here's why Amal Alamuddin Clooney is the real star in her marriage

1. What is the importance of your "Je Suis Charlie" button?

Both Amal and George were wearing the pins in support of the victims of this week's terrorist attacks in France. Seacrest didn't ask either of them about it. That was a wasted opportunity to hear what one of the top-ranking international human rights lawyers in the world had to say.

2. How is your life and career affected by your Muslim background when such attacks occur?

Amal's mother is Muslim, and while it is unclear if Amal herself practices the religion, it is definitely part of her heritage. Does she ever experience discrimination because of it? Has she ever experienced it in her career or in her personal life? Those are extremely timely questions.

3. What books are on your nightstands?

This question would have included Clooney too, since he was really the focus, but it would have been a great opportunity to ask a smart woman what's on her reading list and why. Historical fiction? Murder mystery? War and Peace? (That's our guess.)

4. What are you publishing next?

Amal has published seven incredibly detailed legal articles on topics like the Hariri assasination, Syria going to the ICC, war crimes, and Libya surrendering Gadhafi to The Hague. What is she currently working on? Why? Will George buy the rights for a screenplay?

5. What are the socioeconomic ramifications of domestic terrorism?

This is Amal's area of expertise, and while it's a bit deep for a soundbite, it would show that her mind is valued for more than figuring out how to land the world's most eligible bachelor.

Only Tina Fey seemed to get it: In her opening spiel, she pointed out that Amal is a "human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, an advisor to Kofi Annan on Syria and was appointed to a three-person commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza strip. So, tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award."

Maybe Fey can interview her.

Joanne Froggatt won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a series, miniseries or TV movie for her portrayal of Anna on Downton Abbey — specifically for her depiction of Anna's experience and survival after being raped by a visiting valet.

While the plot was deemed by some to be exploitative at the time, Froggatt played it with extraordinary emotion, rawness and sensitivity, and she was rewarded with her first Golden Globe win.

But it's Froggatt's acceptance speech that has moved us the most.

ARIES (March 20-April 19)

Your ruling planet, Mars, enters a slippery patch of sky, and you could unwittingly become the author of your own missteps if you aren’t careful. You’re apt to be extremely sensitive and skittish nowadays, and these feelings will be exacerbated on Jan. 14 when Mars squares Saturn. Just because a potential buyer or client hems and haws doesn’t mean that he’s balking at what you propose. If anything, he may be looking for a way to make things work. Don’t jump the gun and assume the worst when there’s every reason to expect the best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

It’s going to feel like there’s an invisible force at work as you embark upon a remarkable transition. And guess what? You’re right. Surprisingly, the planet to thank is Uranus. Often associated with disruption and upheaval, Uranus is still a planet that serves the greater design of the universe. In fact, it’s because our own notions rarely gel with that greater design that we experience Uranian energy as disruptive. Anyhow, this is to say that the planetary energies will be handling you kindly and gently this week as they help you reach a long sought-after goal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’re entering an extraordinary time of year. It lasts six weeks, and you could make a lot of headway as long as you manage your anxieties and redirect your insecurities. So much depends on making friends with those who once barred your way. Nothing changes people’s minds like success, and yours has certainly converted critics and naysayers. They are on your side. Whether they like you or not doesn’t really matter. What matters most is that their fortunes are now intertwined with yours. Ironically, they will protect and support you in ways that your true friends never could.

CANCER (June 21-July 21)

It’s up to you to make the decision, negotiation or broker the truce that nobody else seems to be able to make. It’s a different role for you as you’re more comfortable in the background playing the role of confidante or sounding board. However, the last-quarter Moon in Libra on Jan. 13 shows that you have a greater command of the facts — and a better read of the players — than others. Be confident in your judgment calls because they are spot-on. They’re so on target that you’ll be doing this more frequently in the future.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

Why are you standing by someone who won’t stand up for himself? It’s a good question, considering that your loyalty to this black sheep is putting a strain on your relationship, finances and emotional health. Yet you know that if you cut ties, then this person would truly be lost. Common sense says let nature run its course, but your heart believes that he can still pull himself out of this downward spiral. And your heart is right. It won’t happen right away — so look after yourself — but one day your faith in this person will be restored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It looks like you’ll be experiencing that peculiar sensation of déjà vu this week when you find yourself back under the thumb of a demanding parent or domineering spouse. You swore that this would never happen again but guess what? One could blame Saturn in the solar fourth for your trials and tribulations, but the truth could also lie in the fact that Virgo is the zodiac sign of servitude. You feel most comfortable wearing a yoke. History stops repeating itself once you learn from it, and that’s something you’ll be doing over the next three months.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libra — like Sagittarius — is a zodiac sign that’s often accused of sporting a pair of rose-colored glasses as you navigate your way through life’s obstacle course. People like to poke fun at your naïveté and to make light of your optimistic outlook. But have you ever noticed how these same people rely on you to strike an upbeat note? This is something you should keep in mind on Jan. 14 when Mars forms a square to Saturn. You may find that those who mock the loudest are the same ones who want to believe in something the strongest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your inclination is to push when something lies just out of reach. Whether it’s a love interest, a potential customer or a prize you set your sights on, you will go to the brink. But what if the push isn’t worth it? It’s a question worth asking on Jan. 14. It looks like you are out of your depth, overbooked or seriously out of pocket. It would be a good idea to quit while you’re ahead — especially since Mercury turns retrograde next week. It’s not worth jeopardizing what you have just because you covet something you don’t.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 20)

Your peaceful sanctuary will be transformed into a battle zone when Mars enters that part of your solar horoscope that pertains to hearth and home on Jan. 12. For weeks you’ve tried to make the best of a troublesome situation. You stayed out of a loved one’s hair and judiciously changed the subject whenever tempers piqued. Unfortunately, this was more ceasefire than truce as you will see when tensions erupt on Jan. 14. It won’t be pleasant, but it will be good to have things out in the open, so you can figure out where to go from here.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

This is a good time for making profitable alliances and forging business partnerships that will surely pay off. You learned a lot from your experiences in 2014 — a year full of waffling commitments and unfulfilled promises — and now you can tell who’s ready to do business and who’s an also-ran. If you’re going to close a deal or sign a contract, then you’ll want to do it on Jan. 13. The last-quarter Moon in Libra is especially promising. Otherwise, you will have to wait until Mercury comes out of retrograde on Feb. 11.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17)

It appears as if there’s a lot of money around you, but you’re having a hard time tapping into it. Maybe it’s tied up in loans, savings or investments you can’t touch. In any case, it will be galling to have to turn to family or friends for assistance when the Mars/Saturn square shows you coming up short on Jan. 14. Don't make things more awkward by feeling ashamed. They’re more than happy to help. However, take this as a sign to get on the cases of those people who owe you. You’ve been lenient long enough.

Up next: Pisces horoscope

{pageBreak}

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19)

You’ll be making the switch from shark to minnow when Mars enters your zodiac sign on Jan. 12. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars has a take-no-prisoners approach to getting what it wants. This will surprise loved ones and friends, but it will also make enemies think twice about messing with you. This will come in handy when you have to lay down the law with people who think that they can still browbeat you into doing what they want regardless of your thoughts and feelings. They are about to have another “think” coming.

The Venus/Uranus sextile on Jan. 13 gives you an effervescent sparkle. You have a bubbly laugh, a lighthearted air and an appealing charm that men find irresistible. It's not every day when the planets smooth over your rough edges and allow for your softer, kinder side to shine through. It's the perfect time to make a pitch an appeal, or a play for that guy you've been crushing on. Not only will you score, but you may even learn the quintessential lesson of Venus which is that you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Remember that you have to look a million if you want to hook a million, so get your nose out of those sales racks and invest in top line items. Your appearance is your greatest asset and you'll want to work it. Your pocketbook may groan now, but your bank account will thank you later.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You won't like it when a loved one starts finding fault with just about everything you do on Jan. 14. Saturn tends to bring out people's harshly critical sides and it can be hurtful. You could get defensive, wounded or even retaliatory but you would be missing the point of what's going on. He's feeling overshadowed by you and your success and male egos don't do very well with that. Find time to be reassuring and supportive. Recognize that he needs some TLC now and you'll see that the support and encouragement from him will be forthcoming.

CANCER (June 21-July 21)

It looks like life at home will finally be stabilizing after weeks of stress and strain. You've had more than your fair share of emotional bombshells and late night crises. You've come through with flying colors (as you knew you would), but more importantly you've gotten in touch with the things that truly matter. So much time and energy is spent fretting about the future that you can forget about the value of what takes place today. This profound reconnection to life on a deep and soulful level is worth all the travails you've experienced recently.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

Love is a matter of the heart and not something to be decided by the pocketbook. Unfortunately when you look at your future together, you can't help noticing the difference in earning power and that he doesn't show the same healthy respect to budgets that you do. If it bothers you that he seldom picks up the check (not to mention rarely splits it), then what's going to happen when things get serious? Do you really want to be the chief breadwinner in your relationship? It's an unappealing conversation, but it's one worth having on Jan. 14.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mars starts its tour of duty in your opposite sign on Jan. 12. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars can be very combative when it's traveling through this part of the sky. However, Mars is more passive-aggressive than it is "in your face" when it's in Pisces so expect to contend with a sea of sad sighs, forlorn looks and waves of guilt trips from your nearest and dearest. The best way to counteract the emotional manipulation is by responding with some inertness of your own. Mars is in Pisces from Jan. 12 to Feb. 19.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

So why are you acting like you're on the market when you're not? Born under Venus, the planet of love and beauty, you like to know that you can seize imaginations, inflame passions and break hearts when you feel like it. And if a little ego stroking is all you need, then a stroll around the office or gym on Tuesday should prove that you haven't lost your appeal. Be careful about playing with people's hearts. You don't want to create any unnecessary drama when you're in the process of working out the meaning of your life purpose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are always there for loved ones. You're the first one to encourage them to pursue their dreams (no matter how farfetched) and you're always on hand to help them get back up on their feet when they fall. This is why the Mars/Saturn square on Jan. 14 will be so painful. Things are not going well for a spouse, sibling or child. Whether it's a project or venture, it's clear that this is a costly venture and it's up to you to pull the plug. The kindest cut is the swiftest cut so be quick about it.

Financial woes are taking all of the "joie" out of your "vivre." You keep doing the sums over and over again only to arrive at the same underwhelming result. Thank heavens Venus sextiles Uranus on Jan. 13. This will provide just the pleasant diversion you need in the form of an exciting flirtation or unexpected love affair. Part of you may feel like you shouldn't indulge, but what's the harm? Anything that makes you feel good about yourself is bound to be an upper. There's nothing like a change of emotional scene to boost spirits and enliven your energy.

Why do you always say "no" when your other half invites you out? Whether it's an impromptu date night, a weekend getaway or an unscheduled trip your first reaction is to say you can't. Shoot him down enough times and he'll stop making the effort. Jan. 13 is a good day to re-visit your schedule. What's the point of working as hard as you do if it squeezes the life out of romance? It won't be easy changing the habits of a lifetime so start with dinner out. It also wouldn't kill you to pick up the check.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17)

You may be surprised by the way a conversation goes from professional to flirty on Jan. 13. And this won't be exclusive to work. You'll notice that the guys at the gym are starting to hit on you as is the barista you order from every day and even your next-door neighbor. You have the Venus/Uranus sextile to thank for all of this unsolicited attention. At first you may be taken aback, but you'll soon see that this is all in fun. Besides what's so wrong with flirting back if it gets you a free cappuccino?

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19)

Mars in your sign brings conflicts with men. You could find yourself locking horns with your boss, getting highhanded with your beau or drawing the ire and fire of male co-workers. You won't be able to start a ruckus and then walk away from it when things get heated. You will have to finish any argument or fight that you start. You should also know that Mars is the planet of bad boys in astrology. You may find yourself unable to resist the pull of someone you know is no good for you on Jan. 19.

But there's a lot more to know about Douglas aside from his famous dad.

More: Why focusing on Amal Alamuddin Clooney's gloves at the Golden Globes is upsetting

1. He's adorably good-looking

Though he joined Keaton at the Globes, we only caught a glimpse of him after Keaton's big win. But it was enough of a glance to know that Keaton passed on the best of his genes to his kid.

2. He's a songwriter

Douglas is in entertainment, just like his dad, but he doesn't appear in front of the camera. Douglas is successful in the music industry and has worked on songs for Jason Derulo, Demi Lovato and Kat Graham.

4 Times we fell in love with George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin (VIDEO)

George and Amal walked the red carpet together for the first time at the event, and while Amal was incredibly poised and gorgeous as always, we saw a different side of George. He was, of course, still as handsome, gregarious and debonair as ever, but he was also glowing, soft and sweetly doting on his wife. Here are four times it hit us the hardest that these crazy kids might just make it after all.

1. George wore his wedding tux

No, really, he did. He must own, like, a dozen tuxedos, and he wore that one. Adorable!

2. He introduced her to everyone

Producers? Check. Directors? Check. Former co-stars? Check. Lighting guy? Check. Parking attendant? Check. George is a man in love, and he wants everyone to know it — and to know why. The best way to accomplish that is to show Amal off to the world.

3. He made sure no one stepped on her dress

George told E! News that his most important job of the night was to make sure no one stepped on the train of Amal's dress. Many husbands would be doing the accidental stepping-on themselves. George Clooney, most gallant husband in the history of marriage. And he probably loved her gloves, too.

Jeremy Renner makes inappropriate comment about J.Lo on Golden Globes stage

The Avengers star took the stage alongside Jennifer Lopez tonight to present the award for Best Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture. After announcing the nominees, Renner asked Lopez if she would like to open the envelope to reveal the winner.

More: Joanne Froggatt speaks up for rape victims everywhere at the Golden Globes

Polite enough, right? Except, wrong.

As Lopez graciously took the envelope, saying she did have the nails to open it, Renner leered at J.Lo's cleavage, quipping, "You've got the Globes, too." Eww.

Lopez played it off well enough, but the Twitterverse wasn't going to let Renner's perv status slide that easily. Although some applauded the actor (you know who you are), many took Renner to task for the childish joke.

GGlobes: Jeremy Renner JLO comment 4

Perhaps the off-color comment seemed particularly skeevy in contrast to the empowering speeches made by enlightened celebs like Joanne Froggatt, George Clooney, Jeffrey Tambor and more.

It certainly resonated as tasteless in light of the fact that Renner's wife of only 10 months, Sonni Pacheco, recently filed for divorce on the basis of fraud.

More: Jeremy Renner's new-ish marriage just turned into an ugly divorce

The divorce has taken an especially acrimonious turn with regards to the couple's child, Ava. While Pacheco asked for sole physical custody of their daughter, Renner claims he is afraid she may flee with the little girl to Canada at any minute.

He was so convinced of the possibility, in fact, that he apparently hijacked her passport and other legal documents needed for international travel.

In short, it seems safe to say that the last thing Renner should be concerning himself with right now is Lopez's, ahem, globes.

"I have so many wonderful female role models here tonight. Women today have such a strong voice. I have a 4 1/2-year-old and am so grateful to have all the women in this room. You speak to her so loudly. She watches everything, sees everything."

2. Joanne Froggatt, who won for Downton Abbey, said: 

"After this storyline aired, I received a small number of letters from survivors of rape, and one woman summed up the thoughts of many by saying she wasn't sure why she had written, but she just felt, in some way, she wanted to be heard. And I'd just like to say, I heard you, and I hope saying this so publicly means, in some way, you feel the world hears you."

3. Patricia Arquette, who won for Boyhood, said: 

"You placed in my hands the role of Olivia, an underappreciated single mother. Thank you for shining a light on this woman and the millions of women like her and for allowing me to honor my own mother with this beautiful character. Thanks to my siblings and friends, who watched my kids while I was trying to build a career as a 20-year-old single mother."

4. Maggie Gyllenhaal, who won for The Honorable Woman, said:

"I've noticed a lot of people talking about the wealth of roles for powerful women in television lately, and when I look around the room at the women who are in here and I think about the performances I've watched this year, what I see actually are women who who are sometimes powerful, sometimes not, sometimes sexy, sometimes not, sometimes honorable, sometimes not, and I what I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and film. That's what I think is revolutionary, evolutionary, and that's what's turning me on."

5. Jill Soloway, who won for Transparent, said:

"I want to thank the trans community. They are our family. They make this possible. This award is dedicated to the memory of Leelah Alcorn and too many trans people who died too young. And it's dedicated to you, my trans parent, my Moppa. You are watching at home right now, and I just want to thank you for coming out because, in doing so, you made a break for freedom. You told your truth. You taught me how to tell my truth and make this show, and maybe we are going to be able to teach the world something about authenticity and truth and love. To love."

6. Gina Rodriguez, who won for Jane the Virgin, said:

"This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes. My father used to tell me to say every morning, 'Today is going to be a great day. I can and I will.' Well, Dad, today is a great day. I can and I did."

More: 6 Reasons why I'm Team Marnie

1) Hannah ups her housing game

Looks like Hannah will go from needing to share an apartment with her besties to a party-throwing homeowner. We won't call this a 100 percent sure thing, but it sure seems that way from the previews. In HBO's Episode 2 press releases, it even hints at her new housing situation, saying, "In her first days as a grad student, Hannah discovers she can get more for her money, rentwise, in Iowa." Sweet.

2) But a reality check is on the way

After years of only being fed compliments on her writing from her friends and parents, the writers' workshop is a no-holds-barred kind of place and her fellow students are less impressed with her work. According to the press release, "At her first seminar, Hannah warns her fellow workshop writers that her piece might trigger some intense emotions – but doesn't get the feedback she had hoped for." Poor Hannah!

3) And she's really bored

By Episode 3, it looks like Hannah will be bored with her new surroundings. Ever the underachiever, Hannah only signed up for one class a semester, leaving her with a lot of free time and nothing to do with it. When Elijah shows up, he'll find he can live the high life in Iowa... only leading to more jealousy and depression from Hannah.

4) Adam lands in deep shit

In one of the first previews for Girls Season 4, we saw Jessa being dragged from an apartment building in handcuffs and wondered if that was Adam in the corner. Turns out, that's exactly who it was. According to the Episode 3 teaser, "Adam unwittingly gets drawn into Jessa's chaotic web after an AA meeting." Something tells us this is in relation to Jessa's failed efforts to help with that suicide last year. We also can't help but wonder if this story line will lead to more from them in the future. After all, the premiere episode showed Jessa scolding Hannah for not dumping Adam. Is it possible Jessa wants him for herself?

5) Marnie and Shosh both struggle

Marn and Shoshie are both heading out on new endeavors in life. Marnie is continuing her struggle to become a professional singer and sleeping with her musical partner, Desi. Shoshanna is fresh out of college and looking for a job. HBO promises that their roads are all smooth, though. "Ray gives Marnie a wake-up call about Desi's true intentions before their meeting with a record label," the Episode 3 release says, adding, "Shoshanna aces, then blows, a job interview."

6) They'll all end up together again, soon

Need proof everything will be OK and that our girls will soon end up back in each others' lives? Check out this picture from Episode 6. It definitely looks like they're back in New York, right?

House of Cards trailer: Are Frank and Claire on the rocks?

$
0

The 45-second trailer doesn't give too much away, but we can ascertain this: There will be drama coming out of the wazoo when Season 3 is released. Underscored by the pulsating drumbeat of the song accompanying the images, the trailer reveals things in House of Cards' third outing will be intense, to say the least.

Among other things, we catch glimpses of Frank in the Oval Office, protests, soldiers, a state burial and a handshake refusal. The most telling part of the trailer, however, is the divide that seems to exist between the usually formidable duo of Frank and Claire Underwood.

In fact, the only time the pair seems to be united in this trailer is when Claire fixes Frank's bow tie. Could it be that the previously unstoppable and indivisible couple with one of the most fascinating marriages on television is crumbling? Both seem to be dealing with their own individual crises, but things aren't looking that great when they're together.

The trailer features very compelling and telling footage of Frank and Claire symmetrically walking off in opposite directions. They sit stony-faced and silently, staring out their respective windows, in the presidential vehicle. Oh, and a man, who isn't Frank, kisses Claire.

But the biggest indication they are at odds comes in the form of their differing views on their behavior. "We're murderers, Francis," Claire tells Frank, her back to him. "We're survivors," he counters pointedly.

Hmm, no, Frank; that subway train remembers it differently. You're definitely murderers. No two ways about it. We're Team Claire on this one. Although, is anyone ever Team Frank?

House of Cards Season 3 premieres on Netflix on Feb. 27. You can watch the new trailer below.

Did Beyoncé just drop a baby bump hint on Instagram? (PHOTO)

Or was she just helpless to Blue Ivy's tricks and wanted to make the internet lose its mind over a cute pic?

On Sunday, Queen Bey posted a photo to her Instagram account, which shows the Drunk in Love singer buried in sand at the beach, and it looks like the sand is piled up in some very specific places — like her stomach, hinting ever so slightly that there just might be a baby bump, and thus maybe baby No. 2 is on the way.

It would be in true Beyoncé fashion to have a too cute announcement. Remember how she announced that she was expecting Blue Ivy? It was pretty fabulous.

The rumor that she is pregnant, and a few months along at that, has been circulating around the interwebs for a while now, but a sibling for Blue Ivy has yet to be confirmed.

And my guess is that when Beyoncé wants us to know, she'll let us know.

Parents arrested for telling baby to put gun in mouth and say 'pow' (VIDEO)

Baby with gun

Baby with gun

The short video won't merit a shake of your head and a "to each their own" reaction. This video is downright disturbing.

Evansville authorities found the cellphone video on 19-year-old Michael Barnes' phone when he was arrested for agreeing to sell a handgun to an undercover officer through social media. In the follow-up investigation conducted by police, the video of a toddler putting a gun in his mouth was discovered.

In the video, two adults are present. The toddler's mother, Toni Wilson, 22, and boyfriend, Barnes, allow and even encourage the young child to play with the handgun. The parents make noises of a weapon firing in the background.

According to a police statement, "Barnes can be heard telling the child to say 'pow' on multiple occasions while the child plays with the gun. The video also shows the child placing the muzzle of the gun in her mouth. At no point does Barnes try to stop the child from playing with the gun."

While police have not yet confirmed if the gun was loaded, the toddler clearly places the muzzle in his mouth while being recorded by the couple. Wilson claimed that the weapon was a pellet gun. Police say it was a .40 caliber handgun.

Thankfully, this type of "silly" cell phone video is not something authorities take lightly. Both parents are now facing multiple charges, including criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and child neglect. The couple's children, the 1-year-old boy seen in the video and 1-month-old twins, have been removed from the home. Barnes is the father of the infant twins but not the young boy.

To say that these parents are the worst is an understatement. As expected, the negligent and irresponsible video has made waves on social media. As one commenter put it so well, "Some people are dumber today than they were during the Ice Age."

No matter where you stand on guns in the home, I am sure we can all agree: Playing with a gun around a child is beyond dangerous. Teaching a young child to treat a gun like a toy is grossly irresponsible.

I normally hesitate to throw out "good" and "bad" parenting labels, but this particular situation is one for the record books. Telling your toddler to put a gun in his mouth makes you a bad parent.

10 Parenting crimes the internet considers child abuse

$

Just because you don't like what another parent is doing doesn't mean that it's child abuse. It also helps to remember that internet parenting arguments are not real life.

In your social circle, it's important to err on the side of caution and contact the authorities if a child may be in danger. But under the cloak of anonymity on the internet, child abuse accusations can hardly be taken seriously. If you don't agree with what another parent is saying online, just call them a child abuser, and that will shut them right up, am-I-right?

Let's see if any of your parenting choices fall into internet definitions of "child abuse."

1. Formula feeding

According to the internet, feeding your innocent baby store-bought "poison" is tantamount to child abuse.

2. Extended breastfeeding

You had better breastfeed, but don't breastfeed for too long or you'll be deemed "inappropriate."

3. Cry-it-out sleep training

Co-sleepers say: Letting your defenseless baby cry alone in her crib all night is just cruel. You should be ashamed of yourself.

4. Co-sleeping

Cry-it-out parents say: Sleeping in the same bed as your defenseless baby is dangerous and negligent. You should be ashamed of yourself.

5. Turning your baby's car seat forward

Turn your baby's car seat to forward-facing before the 2-year mark, and some mom groups might just burn you at the stake.

6. Spanking

Many parents have adopted a zero-tolerance spanking policy: Lay a hand on your kid, and you deserve a CPS visit.

7. Not vaccinating

Parents who choose not to vaccinate should get ready for an onslaught of internet hate. Some online communities consider the anti-vaccination movement a negligent, abusive public health threat.

8. Watching R-rated movies

Exposing your kids to violence at a young age for the sake of entertainment has been called inadvertent child abuse.

9. Letting your kid play outside alone

Moms have been arrested for such "crimes." Let your child walk a few blocks to the park on her own at your own risk.

10. Putting your kid in day care

You might be a "child abuser" if your day care is raising your kid for you. Anti-day care parenting groups consider day cares used by working parents to be a hotbed of abuse, molestation and neglect.
