Pet owners know how hard it is to get their cats to take a bath. Felines hate water because it makes their fur wet and uncomfortable while also taking a long time to dry. But sometimes, they get so dirty that a bath is the only option, and this almost always means chaos.

Actress Jennifer Garner recently shared a funny video on her Instagram that documented her struggles to bathe her cat Moose. As it turns out, Moose “pooped his pants” and needed a bath, but the feline didn’t plan on making it easy for the Alias star.

“First of all, we have an obesity problem. So, please don’t make fun,” Garner added before she started cleaning Moose.

Moose can be seen trying to escape the sink and even scratching Garner at one point, but the actress stood her ground and finished what she started regardless of how exhausting it was. Unfortunately, she realized a bit too late that she didn’t use a conditioner.

Instagram users were quite amused by the video, sharing their thoughts in the comments section.

“I think the conditioner would have tipped Moose over the edge,” one user jokingly wrote.

“What’s great about this is the cat does not care that that’s Jennifer Garner,” another added.

UK’s Royal Mint recently unveiled a new coin that honors the late music legend George Michael. The coin is part of the Music Legends collection and comes in several different finishes. 

The reverse of the coin shows the portrait of Michael inspired by his look from the music video for his 1987 hit track “Faith”. The design also features a graphic rendering of the sound waves from the refrain of “Faith”. The obverse of the coin shows a portrait of King Charles III.

Italian artist and sculptor Sandra Deiana is credited with designing the reverse of the coin.

“I wanted a detailed portrait that captured his charismatic expression—I was particularly thinking of his iconic sunglasses. It’s amazing to be able to pay tribute to his music, and what you see in the design is truly a piece of George Michael’s song,” said Deiana in a statement.

The standard version of the coin, featuring a denomination of £5, comes with a booklet about George Michael’s life and costs £15.50. A special Gold Proof version of the coin is also available in a limited quantity of 150 units. This coin comes at a price of £2,770.

George Michael is the latest British music icon to grace the reverse of a coin. Previously, the Royal Mint also released coins with designs of Elton John, David Bowie, the Queen, and The Police.

Gedogfx is the pseudonym of a talented digital artist who became viral thanks to his creative mind. In his latest project, he made a series of images where he imagined how celebrities would look if they were saints.

Keanu Reeves, Freddie Mercury, Uma Thurman, Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen, Brad Pitt, Walter White, Johny Depp, etc. — they all have halos and are wearing majestic religious clothes.

They also have unique symbols that represent their characters, including a little dragon resting on Daenerys’ shoulder, Heisenberg’s heart made of meth or Mando holding Baby Yoda in his arms.

Gedo documents his work on Instagram where his photos regularly get tens of thousands of likes from his 109,000 followers. He also has an online shop where you can purchase some of his merchandise.

We can always count on our favorite celebrities to start the next viral craze, and Eminem is the latest star to do it. The hip-hop superstar was in charge of starting the #GodzillaChallenge but what is this new musical trend all about?

This viral challenge borrows its name from Eminem’s collaboration with the late rapper Juice Wrld, titled “Godzilla”. The song was featured on his latest album Music to Be Murdered By, and it sees Eminem rapping 224 words in just 31 seconds of the final verse.

It’s a truly staggering achievement, and Eminem decided to challenge other people to rap as fast. The how the #GodzillaChallenge was born, but most people failed to match the rapper’s impeccable flow because memorizing all the 224 words is an achievement in itself.

The nature of this lightning-speed verse is making the whole thing so fun and the fact it’s difficult to pull off is not stopping people from trying. #GodzillaChallenge is already a huge hit on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok and we can’t wait to see if any celebrities will give it a go.

BTS fans were hoping to see their favorite K-pop band on Carpool Karaoke ever since they broke into the international scene – and that moment is finally here. They were featured on the latest episode of James Corden’s viral series, and it’s everything we expected – and more!

The language barrier didn’t stop V, Jungkook, Jimin, RM, Jin, SUGA and J-Hop from delivering some comedy gold on Carpool Karaoke alongside Corden, and having seven extra people in the car didn’t seem like too much this time around since they’re all a match made in heaven.

In addition to performing a couple of songs from their new album Map of the Soul: 7, BTS gave us some future Carpool Karaoke classics with their covers of Bruno Mars and Cardi B collaboration “Finesse”, and Post Malone’s hit song “Circles“.

To make the whole thing even better, they ended this adventure by attending a dance cardio session, where they showed off their epic moves to the beat of Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow” before Jimin took charge and demonstrated their signature choreography.

Natalie Portman delivered one of the most talked-about fashion moments at this year’s Oscars, but not only because her dress looked amazing. It also featured one sneaky detail – the names of female directors who delivered exceptional work past year.

The Black Swan actress hit the red carpet in a gorgeous black gown by Dior with stunning gold embroidery, but a closer look at her gown revealed there so much more to it than meets the eye.

The dress came with a matching cape that featured custom stitched names of directors Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers), Lulu Wang (The Farewell), Greta Gerwig (Little Women), Mati Diop (Atlantics), Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Melina Matsoukas (Queen & Slim), Alma Har’el (Honey Boy), and Céline Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire).

None of them received Academy Award nominations for directing this year, but Portman decided to celebrate them because she “wanted to recognize the women who were not recognized for their incredible work this year in a subtle way.”

Not all heroes wear capes, but Natalie Portman does and she used it to send a really powerful message and support female filmmakers from all around the world.

The Oscars have always been a gold mine for meme lovers, and this year’s ceremony gave them a lot to laugh about. Take a look at some of the funniest viral moments that stole the show during Hollywood’s biggest night.

Billie Eilish’s Reaction

Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph delivered a hilarious and pretty confusing bit while presenting the best production design, and Billie Eilish’s reaction perfectly summed up our thoughts.

Cats Return

No one does a better job making fun of Cats than the cast of Cats, and Rebel Wilson and James Corden agreed to slam this box office bomb one last time at the Oscars.

Billy Porter’s Outfit

Billy Porter’s always been the king of meme-worthy outfits, and he gave us another one at this year’s Oscars.

Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeves

Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeves hit the stage to present the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and they were the weird dynamic duo we never knew we needed.

Eminem’s Performance

Eminem delivered a surprise performance of “Lose Yourself” that no one really asked for, and our favorite stars didn’t even bother hiding their confusion.

Many people would agree that the halftime show at the Super Bowl is more epic than the game itself, and that was certainly the case this year. Shakira delivered an epic performance alongside J. Lo and gave us dozens of memes with one of her moves on the stage.

Shakira showed off her epic dance moves during her performance and paid homage to her voice role in Zootopia with one of her outfits, but these weren’t the only things that got everyone talking. Her tongue waggle stole the show and became an instant meme.

The singer sent Twitter into a frenzy when she wagged her tongue at the camera, and this surprisingly became the most memorable moment of the whole night. People started putting her face in a number of relatable situations and even made a connection to one episode of SpongeBob.

Others were quick to point out the cultural significance of Shakira’s movement and a cry of joy. It’s known by the name zaghrouta, which is a traditional Arabic expression of celebration and happiness, and it was her way of paying homage to her Lebanese roots.

While everyone can play with any toy they like at any age, Barbie dolls are usually thought of as a toy for little girls. They’re certainly manufactured and marketed for that very specific market. But they have a lot to offer to others as well – it just takes a little bit of imagination.

Noel Cruz is a Filipino artist with a unique specialization – he repaints Barbie dolls as modern-day celebrities. He’s recreated scenes from live-action Beauty and the Beast featuring Emma Watson; turned a doll into a miniature version of Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent and even reimagined Princess Dianna as a doll.

Cruz’s interest in painting goes back to his childhood when he was fascinated by the idea of turning a blank canvas into a work of art. He’s been painting his whole life, but he started repainting Barbie dolls only ten years ago. He came across the field when his wife started collecting Barbies, and he wondered how it would be like to use the doll as his canvas. 

Soon he developed his own special style and started repainting his dolls as famous Hollywood stars. While all Barbie dolls look the same on the shelf at the toy store, Cruz manages to reshape each one and give it the unique features of well-known actors. Each repainted doll is sold for about $1,500!

Luckily, Noel also shared his art on Instagram, so we still get a glimpse of his incredible works. Scroll down to check some out!

Many people would agree that the halftime show at the Super Bowl is more epic than the game itself, and that was certainly the case this year. Shakira delivered an epic performance alongside J. Lo and gave us dozens of memes with one of her moves on the stage.

Shakira showed off her epic dance moves during her performance and paid homage to her voice role in Zootopia with one of her outfits, but these weren’t the only things that got everyone talking. Her tongue waggle stole the show and became an instant meme.

The singer sent Twitter into a frenzy when she wagged her tongue at the camera, and this surprisingly became the most memorable moment of the whole night. People started putting her face in a number of relatable situations and even made a connection to one episode of SpongeBob.

Others were quick to point out the cultural significance of Shakira’s movement and a cry of joy. It’s known by the name zaghrouta, which is a traditional Arabic expression of celebration and happiness, and it was her way of paying homage to her Lebanese roots.

While everyone can play with any toy they like at any age, Barbie dolls are usually thought of as a toy for little girls. They’re certainly manufactured and marketed for that very specific market. But they have a lot to offer to others as well – it just takes a little bit of imagination.

Noel Cruz is a Filipino artist with a unique specialization – he repaints Barbie dolls as modern-day celebrities. He’s recreated scenes from live-action Beauty and the Beast featuring Emma Watson; turned a doll into a miniature version of Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent and even reimagined Princess Dianna as a doll.

Cruz’s interest in painting goes back to his childhood when he was fascinated by the idea of turning a blank canvas into a work of art. He’s been painting his whole life, but he started repainting Barbie dolls only ten years ago. He came across the field when his wife started collecting Barbies, and he wondered how it would be like to use the doll as his canvas. 

Soon he developed his own special style and started repainting his dolls as famous Hollywood stars. While all Barbie dolls look the same on the shelf at the toy store, Cruz manages to reshape each one and give it the unique features of well-known actors. Each repainted doll is sold for about $1,500!

Luckily, Noel also shared his art on Instagram, so we still get a glimpse of his incredible works. Scroll down to check some out!
