You know what would be super annyoing? If someone sent you a special text that shut down your iPhone. Good thing that's not possible -- oh wait, it is. A hot new practical joke/scourge is upon us. 

Here's everything you need to know about this stupid iPhone trick everyone hates.

1. Someone sends you the following text message. It looks like gibberish. And it is. But it casts a powerful spell on your phone.

We're going to show you what it looks like but you have to PROMISE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT AGAINST ANYONE! (Oops, sorry, the mom in me took over for a moment there.)

For anyone who is wondering text this message to restart someone's iPhone. effective. Power Ù�Ù�Ù�Ù�صÙ�بÙ�Ù�Ù�Ù�صÙ�بÙ�ررÙ� ॣ ॣh ॣ ॣ å��

2. Here's what happens to your phone. If you receive the message while your phone is on the lock screen it will crash the messaging app and usually your phone will shut down and then reboot.

3. This is due to a bug in the iPhone. Here's how CBS News describes it.

The message, revealed on Reddit late Tuesday, seems to exploit an inability of the app's preview feature to correctly render the characters, which are not the standard alphanumerics or emoticons one typically texts. After repeated attempts, the app crashes, leaving the user unable to send or receive texts as usual.

4. Only people you know who have your phone number can do this to you. You're not going to get spammed by random strangers with this prank. Not this time, anyway.

5. Apple says it's working on fixing the bug. You'll get the fix in the next software update. Any day now?

Hopefully your friends aren't annoying and no one will send you this text. Fingers crossed! Hey remember that iPhone 4 bug where your phone wouldn't get reception if you held it the wrong way, and Steve Jobs was all, "so don't hold your phone like that"? I wonder what he'd say about this bug. 

Has this annoying iPhone trick already happened to you?

The Internet almost universally agrees: This is the rudest, most inconsiderate, most WTF way to propose. A Reddit user (who since deleted their account) posted a photo of a man proposing at a wedding reception -- right in front of the bride and groom. LIKE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. 

UPDATE: Apparently the newly-engaged woman is the bride's sister -- and this wedding reception proposal was the bride's idea! That was so generous of her. Seriously though, no one else ever do this unless you get the newlyweds' approval ahead of time.

The bride is smiling, but look deeply into her eyes. Is she pleased? Delighted? Charmed? Hell no. She's horrified. She cannot believe her cousin Stan just did this. (I'm making that "cousin Stan" part up because no one actually knows who these people are.) He's upstaging her mother-effing wedding reception like the self-involved showboat that he is!

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR MOMENT, STAN. Isn't it? It's all. About. You.

Stan probably thought this would be super romantic. He has a ring with him so it's not like he was caught up with the wedding feels and decided to propose on the spot. No, he actually contemplated this idea, declared it genius, and ran with it. He thought about it while he picked out the ring and hid the box in his blazer jacket. He thought about it all through the wedding, when he should have been focused on the couple actually getting married. Because then he would have realized that he was about to rob a bride and groom of their big moment.

We hope he at least waited until after all the wedding toasts were complete.

The poor bride! Now this is how everyone will remember her wedding forever after, especially since the photo has gone viral. I think cousin Stan owes her a big apology. 

What do you think about this proposal -- sweet or inconsiderate?

Did Miley Cyrus actually get away with posting a photo of a banned body part on Instagram? It sure looks that way. Yesterday she 'grammed two selfies in which she tries on these fun, bright-colored wigs ... Oh, but what's that peeking out of the side of her tank top?

It's nothing we haven't seen before. However! Given Instagram's policy of censoring most photos of nipples it's surprising the photo is still up. Many have tried to #freethenipple, but few have succeeded in sharing that particular part of their anatomy with the Instagram community.

It would be Miley whose persistence finally won in the end.

Is Instagram just tired of censoring? Are they buried underneath a pile of deliberate nip slips so great they can't even fight their way out? Or have they finally decided that this is a THING that is HAPPENING and resistance is futile?

A photo posted by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on May 27, 2015 at 5:30am PDT

I'm still a little mystified as to why Miley and others are in such a hurry to share the full scope and sphere of their boobs with the world. I admit it, I'm old! I don't get it! But hey, if that's what the kids want, and it's voluntary, what's the big deal? It's not my flava, but it seems to mean a lot to Cyrus so congratulations to her. She won! For today.

Only time will tell if Instagram has relaxed its nip fatwa -- for everyone. I guess we could just sit and wait to see what happens when Cyrus serves up tatas via Instagram again, which should be in five, four, three ...

Did you even want to see this much of Miley Cyrus this morning or do you want the last five minutes of your life back?

Here's another reason why parents might want to get their kids into an Ivy League university: Apparently one in four Harvard grads never had sex in college. All four years. No sex. Zilch. Nada. What's going on there?!?

Were those students actually more focused on stuff like lectures, classes, seminars, and learning? Well shucks! I guess all that tuition paid off after all. And for all you calling "nerd alert," plenty of brilliant people get laid. I think this is more about these students' priorities than their sex appeal. (But yeah, pretty much: Nerds.) (I'm kidding!)

This is according to what Harvard seniors reported in a survey conducted by the Harvard Crimson. Of course, there were a few students who made up for the abstainers. About 12 percent of the students who did have sex had more than 10 partners, and 21 percent of them had sex during their freshman year.

More from The Stir: Quiz: How Much Sex Do Millenials Have?

If you had told me only a quarter of the students at my alma matter, Brigham Young University, had sex in college I would have said you betcha. No unmarried people are supposed to have sex there. (It TOTALLY happens anyway.) But Harvard? Wow, I'm impressed.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's perfectly healthy to explore your sexuality during those formative years. It's just that sex can be incredibly distracting to one's studies. Plus, alcohol abuse is too often combined with sex at colleges resulting is way too many sad stories, mostly for female students.

More than 14 percent of Harvard women say they've been sexually assaulted, which is too high.

So congratulations to those students who graduated without having the sex. Maybe some of you wanted to, but couldn't make it happen. But many of you were simply more focused on your education, which is awesome. You have your whole lives to have sex and there is absolutely no hurry.

How many students at your college do you think graduated without having sex?

What a way to make your comeback! Nearly a year after ABC (ahem) declined to renew her contract Sherri Shepherd hosted The View. Fans were thrilled to see her return until she had to go and make one awkward joke at the expense of her children. Yikes, did she really say this?

It all started off so well. Shepherd was enthusing about her 10-year-old biological son, Jeffrey, when co-host Raven Simone confessed that she's wanted a baby "since I was 15." "Girl," Shepherd shot back, "I got one or two you could have of mine."

Oh no! Shepherd was likely referring to the nine-month-old son she had via surrogate with her ex-husband Lamar Sally. In their contentious custody battle following their divorce the court found Shepherd financially responsible for the child. (Also, she recorded this of The View in mid-April, just after the ruling.)

While throngs of fans were so happy to see Shepherd they overlooked her sad joke, many others were utterly turned off. Some of them Tweeted their disappointment.

We know whatever she's going through with her ex must be painful and terrifying, and who knows what really happened there with the surrogacy. She surely didn't mean to sound so cruel. But my goodness, that "unwanted" baby is a living, human being who could grow up to hear this clip someday! I cringe for him and his brother.

And we hate to see Shepherd tarnish her comeback this way. It's true we love Shepherd for being provocative and having tart tongue, but she needs to pick the targets of her barbs more carefully and not injure any innocent parties.

It was only a matter of time before someone made a video satirizing the Duggar scandal. And here it is! Hot and fresh from Funny or Die, "The Duggars Respond to the Sexual Abuse Scandal" is everything you'd want it to be and more. 

Unless, of course, you love the Duggars. In which case, maybe you should should resist the temptation to watch this video. Really. They don't go easy on the couple.

But for the rest of us who have witnessed the Duggar juggernaut and yelled at our screens, "what is this bananas evangelical fertility cult?!?" you will appreciate.

They nailed Michelle's split bangs! They also got her wide-eyed gaze and breathy voice, though the southern twang is way exaggerated. But to tell you the truth, we're the ones who've been watching all of this with a wide-eyed, glazed look on our faces. Every little detail that's spilled out of this scandal has been ripe for parody. How did Funny or Die even choose among them all?

Seriously, Michelle!

Well, FOD jumped right in with how little regard there seems to have been for the victims, and how quick Michelle and Jim Bob were to try and cover for their son.

"We did the right thing and ignored the first girl who reported it." Ouch! 

"Girls lie!," Jim Bob says. "One of our daughters, J-something, I don't care ..." he trails off. Then Michelle jumps in -- also unable to recall which daughter(s) were among the victims. "And some of them were our daughters, but honestly, if you asked me which one, I don't know? The brunette with the curly hair?" They laugh incredulously.

Then they move on to the absurdity of waiting three years to report what happened and sending Josh for counseling to "our friend, this guy we know who's in the remodeling business in Little Rock." And it's like -- that would sound so unbelievable if you made it up. But it's real! That is a thing the Duggars did when their teenage son allegedly molested his sister(s) and another girl. 

"It has been terrible for us! And Josh! But those are the only three people affected by these mistakes." Whether or not they really feel that way, that's definitely the impression the Duggars have left with much of the public. I mean, how did they help the victims (including at least one of their own children) recover from being molested? They're not talking much about that. It's not something you can just pray away!

Anyway, while it's a relief to laugh at how insane this scandal sounds and how disappointed we are to learn how Michelle and Jim Bob handled it, we're still sad for the girls. This has been terrible for them most of all.

Oh -- you'll want to stay for the surprise announcement at the end.

Earlier this week a photo of a man proposing right in front of a newlywed couple at their wedding reception went viral. People were outraged that anyone would upstage a bride this way. People including yours truly! It looked so inconsiderate. But it turns out we were missing some key details behind this proposal.

A woman from Iowa named Megan claiming to be the proposed-to woman in the photo stepped forward yesterday and spoke exclusively to the New York Daily News about what really happened. It turns out the bride was her sister! And proposing at the wedding reception was the bride's idea.

My fiancé told her he didn't want to ruin their day and she insisted it would only make it better! The groom of the wedding actually held my engagement ring the entire trip! Everyone in the Reddit picture knew the proposal was going to happen except for me!

Megan tells the Daily News that the two couples grew up together in Iowa (the wedding took place in California). She was her sister's bridesmaid, and her fiancé was the best man.

More from The Stir: Man Proposes at Wedding Reception & Please No One Else Ever Do This Again 

And yes, she was sad to see the reaction all over the Internet. She describes it as "heartbreaking." Why did the person who posted the photo to Reddit add the caption, "any bride's nightmare"? That was kind of a cruel set-up. And we fell for it! I'm so sorry we made these two couples feel badly for something they should have been happy about.

Megan says she understands how the proposal could be misconstrued out of context, so she finally spoke up when it became clear that things weren't going to blow over any time soon. "I just want everyone to know the story behind the picture."

We're glad Megan did step up to give the photo context -- and we're glad the wedding reception proposal was something all four parties were behind. I think the public's initial response is very telling. It shows how special we think a wedding day should be, and how much respect the bride and groom should be given. That this newly wedded couple wanted to share their moment is a testament to their generosity and love.

Running does many fabulous things for you. It improves your cardiovascular health, it boosts your mood, it burns calories like mad. But there's a dark side to running no one likes talking about: why running makes you poop. Yep, running can give you the runs. Ugh. So how can you avoid it?

I first learned this when a good friend of mine started training for a marathon. Sometimes, during a long training run, he would become seized by the most urgent need to poo. Some runners will actually lose control of their bowels mid-stride. And they'll keep running because that is what a marathon runner does, damn it! You're in it for the long haul. But still ... shudder!

What's behind this craptastic side effect of running? We asked personal trainer Carly Pizzani to explain why this infelicitous phenomenon occurs, and how you might prevent it.

More from The Stir: 8 Easy Exercises Moms Can Do at the Playground

"Basically what happens is when you're running, especially for a long time, your body directs more blood to the muscles at work while running," Pizzani says. "This means blood flow is diverted away from the GI tract, which can result in diarrhea."

That reminds me of what happens to many women just before labor. And by "many women," I mean me. When I was in labor with my son, I had an expedited evacuation of my bowels, if you catch my drift. Everything had to go so my body could focus on laboring. Fortunately I was at home and this was not a problem for me (or anyone else). Ahem, moving right along then.

But that's not the only cause of marathon runs. "Other causes could be the jostling of the intestines from the motion of running; fructose intolerance (when ingesting sports drinks sweetened with fructose); or increased fiber intake before running," Pizzani explains.

Uh oh, carb loading could be the culprit! But aren't you supposed to eat healthy whole grains? Maybe not right before a very long run. Pizzani recommends you "skip the whole-grain, high-fiber carbs if you want to avoid an unfortunate situation!" And it might be best to skip those sugary sports drinks, too!

Keep in mind, this happens mainly to long-distance runners, i.e. people training for marathons or maybe half-marathons. Those of us doing just a 30-minute run a few times a week should not worry about involuntary pooping. Seriously. Do not obsess over getting the runner's runs. 

Have you heard of this happening to runners?

A month and a half after 46-year-old kayaker Vincent Viafore drowned in freezing Hudson river waters his fiance, 35-year-old Angelika Graswald, has pled not guilty of his murder. The two were on a kayaking trip together when his boat capsized mysteriously. But what would drive a woman to kill the man she's supposed to marry in a romantic wedding on the Baltic Sea?

Prosecutors say Graswald pulled a plug out of Viafore's kayak, causing it to fill with water and then capsize. When he reached for his paddle, she pulled it away, they claim. And while the boat capsized at 7:15 p.m. Graswald waited until 7:40 to call for help. Viafore's body wasn't found until over a month later.

Her motive? Viafore's $250,000 in life insurance policies, prosecutors say.

Graswald was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter based on her own written and oral statements to police.

But Graswald's attorney says she didn't do it, suggesting to People magazine that her words could have been manipulated by investigators. Her legal team will examine Viafore's body. "We expect to see it was an accidental drowning, hypothermia and acute alcohol poisoning, but we don't have it yet," says Richard Portale. "I think it was clear they were drinking, at least a couple beers."

Regardless of how Viafore died, it's a tragedy. But we'll be interested to see how this case progresses. It's hard to imagine a woman killing her future husband -- sure hope she really isn't guilty!

Can you imagine a woman killing her fiance for $250,000?

Droves of women are super excited about backing Hilary Clinton for President. But not Paula Jones. Nope, she's campaigning to keep Hilary out of the White House. And it's all Bill's fault.

Over 20 years ago Jones sued then-President Clinton for sexual harassment (from when he was governor of Arkansas). Her case led to the whole Monica Lewinsky investigation/mess. 

Now Jones tells the Daily News she's afraid if Bill Clinton is in the White House again as First Husband he'll exploit his position at the expense of innocent young women. "Don't let Bill back in the White House," she pleads. "He abused women and he'll do it again."

Aw heck, this is exactly what we feared would happen if Hilary ran for president: The ghosts of Bill's past are coming back to haunt them. I mean, think of all the other women who probably don't want him back in the White House.

1. Monica Lewinsky

Lewinsky has lately been talking about public shaming and the harsh treatment of young women who get caught up in sex scandals. She's reclaimed her voice and her dignity, and she'd probably love it if she never had to hear the name "Clinton" ever again.

2. Gennifer Flowers

Alas, Bill Clinton did have sexual relations with that woman, Gennifer Flowers. And then she had to go and write about it because duh, we wanted to know more. But she's out of material, and she's not likely to gather more this time around. 

3. Kathleen Wiley

Former White House aide Wiley claims Clinton assaulted her, embracing her tightly and kissing her on the mouth. And she did not like it! No she did not. Linda Tripp says Wiley was totally flirting with Bill all the time, though, because Linda is a forever high school sophomore.

4. Linda Tripp

Oh Linda. Linda, Linda, Linda. Sigh.

5. Hilary Clinton

Don't get me wrong -- she values him as an adviser. He's an extremely powerful ally. But he's also a terrible liability. Would anyone blame her if she maybe kinda sorta filed for divorce a week before getting sworn in? I think our nation would forgive that.

What other women don't want Bill Clinton back in the White House?

You've gotta feel for stay at home dads. They're always the odd guy out, the only male hanging out at the playground with the moms. They're swimming against stream, trading in being the breadwinner for being the homemaker. And they're more likely to cheat as well. Wait -- SAHDs are more likely to cheat?!?

That's what a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Connecticut found that both male and female spouses are more likely to cheat when they're economically dependent on their mate. So this goes for stay at home moms, too. But the tendency is much stronger for dependent husbands.

There is a 5 percent chance for wives who are completely dependent on their husbands to have an affair. But there's a 15 percent chance for husbands who are completely dependent on their wives to cheat.

Why would anyone cheat on the person who is supporting them, though? Study author Christin L. Musnch, assistant professor of sociology, explains. "The findings indicate people like feeling relatively equal in their relationships. People don't like to feel dependent on another person."

This is especially true for men. Munsch says when a man's masculinity is threatened by not being the breadwinner they may want to find another way to express their masculinity.

For men, especially young men, the dominant definition of masculinity is scripted in terms of sexual virility and conquest, particularly with respect to multiple sex partners. Thus, engaging in infidelity may be a way of reestablishing threatened masculinity. Simultaneously, infidelity allows threatened men to distance themselves from, and perhaps punish, their higher earning spouses.

So there you go. Seducing other women makes certain emasculated guys feel more manly. And it's a way to get back at their higher-earning wife, which ... eech, it's creepy and awful to think that anyone would feel the need to do that. 

I've known couples with female breadwinners by choice, and those dads seem pretty secure with their manliness. But in couples where the woman is the breadwinner because the husband has lost his job, or can't find employment, or is on disability, I think that's where you see this kind of resentment and loss of confidence. What a toxic stew!

More from The Stir: 10 Classic Signs Your Man Might Be Cheating

So is that super-friendly SAHD in your playgroup hitting on you? Or is he just looking for friends? If you're the breadwinner in your family, should you be concerned about your husband? 

I don't think this study is call for alarm. It's a 15 percent chance of cheating, not 50. But it sure does show how important employment is to a man's identity. If he's dependent not by choice, what are some safer ways he could reclaim his masculinity? That's something you may want to talk about as a couple.

How do you feel about stay at home dads?

The celeb we've long known as Bruce Jenner has made undergone a major transformation, and wowza, we're stunned. Photographed by Annie Leibowitz, staring back at us boldly in a chic white bathing suit, Caitlyn Jenner makes her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair.

Finally, after all the speculation, will he/won't he, will there be a name change, will there be surgery, will Jenner choose to be a he or a she -- at last we know. The Olympic athlete and reality TV star is officially a "she," and Caitlyn is a knockout.

Jenner shares the story of her journey with Buzz Bissinger in the July Vanity Fair. The one pull quote they're giving us --- besides "Call me Caitlyn" -- is this: “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life.’ ”

Amazing. We're thrilled for Jenner. She proves it's never too late to reach for your own personal fulfilment, to reveal your true self, to reach for your dearest longing. And that's what I hear in Jenner's announcement -- you can sense her longing to break free from hiding and be the full expression of a human being she knows she can be.

"Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets," Jenner says. "As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I'm free."

My heart is soaring for her. As lovely as this cover is, what's most beautiful of all is that Jenner is finally being herself. She's an inspiration to all of us, not just to transgender people but to everyone with a secret dream, everyone holding back a part of themselves. It's never too late. Let that secret dream out, and see what unfolds.

Every woman who's ever had a restraining order against an abusive ex will feel chills at this news. Mila Kunis' stalker has escaped the mental institution where he was being treated. Stuart Lynn Dunn, who was twice convicted of stalking the star, made an "unauthorized departure" from the facility, Los Angeles police say.

Don't you love how they put that -- "unauthorized departure"? Way to dress up some truly scary news. But it sounds like police are taking the escape seriously. LAPD Lt. Martin Rodriguez tells the New York Daily News that a manhunt for Dunn is "in progress and ongoing." Um, gee, I wonder where Dunn might be headed?

But seriously, it makes a big difference when police take the threat of a stalker seriously. Too many other women have become victims because their please for help were taken lightly.

We hope Kunis has good protection. She's probably taking extra precautions now, at any rate. As with a baby daughter she has more at stake than ever before. Fortunately she has the resources to beef up her security, but as a celeb there's no doubt she finds herself a target more often than the average woman. Still, I wish all women who've been targeted by stalkers and violent boyfriends/husbands/exes could get the protection they need.

Dunn once broke into a home Kunis owns and occupied it, which is a terrifying prospect. According to his plea bargain he was supposed to stay away from Kunis for 10 years, but we all know how well stalkers follow those kinds of orders. Hopefully police will manage to catch up with Dunn before he does something else creepy.

It's been a month since the happy day when new royal baby, Charlotte was born. And now we're wondering, when will we see her again, and when will she be christened? The royal family hasn't released a date yet, but we do have a few hints that suggest it may be very soon.

It's very likely that William and Kate will have Charlotte christened in the next month or so. Queen Elizabeth leaves for her summer holiday in Scotland in late July, so they will most likely have the ceremony before then.

What's more, the couple has just a short window of time to baptize Charlotte before the wee babe outgrows the traditional christening robe her big brother George wore. All the royal babies have been using the gown created in 2008, which was designed after the gown commissioned by Queen Victoria in the 19th century and worn by Princes William and Harry (that gown was retired in 2004). We all know how quickly babies grow!

As for where the christening will take place, it could be the same location as Prince George, Chapel Royal. Or it could be at St. Mary Magdelene church at the Queen's Sandringham estate, which is near Will and Kate's country home, Anmer Hall. Prince Willaim's cousin, Princess Eugenie, was christened there.

Regardless of where the ceremony takes place, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will lead it. And it will include the silver Lily Font created in 1874 for the christening of Princess Royal Victoria.

Alas, we will not be able to peek into the ceremony. No cameras will be allowed inside, but there surely will be official portraits take of the day. And William and Kate will probably have some family portraits taken for public release in the days leading up to the christening.

If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of Princess Charlotte before then, it looks like her next public appearance -- with mum Kate -- could be as early at Trooping the Color on June 13, the Queen's official birthday.  

When do you think Princes Charlotte's christening will take place?

Former Hills star and Pinterest queen Lauren Conrad isn't one to court controversy. But in her letter introducing her blog's theme for June, "Shape Up," Conrad says she's banning "skinny." And "thin," and "slim." Will her skinny readers be offended?

What if you're one of those women who tries so hard to gain weight but can't? What if you're so sick of everyone telling you you're so thin? What if it's embarrassing to always be the skinniest one?

More from The Stir: Only Clueless Women Would Rather Be Skinny Than Strong

What if this actually isn't a real problem? I mean, come on. Our culture still applauds extreme slimness and confuses that with "fitness." Women who conform to our ridiculous standards of beauty will be okay if Lauren Conrad refuses to use the words "skinny," "slim" and "thin" on the blog. 

For Conrad, this is nothing against being slim -- othewise she'd be slamming herself because look at her. She's got quite the willowy figure. No, it's about the words we use to talk about our health and fitness goals. And it's about body shaming. Here's what she says.

When we’ve talked about getting in shape in the past, words like 'skinny,' 'slim,' and 'thin' have often come up. Starting this month, we’ll be banning any body shaming terms from the site, and replacing them with words like 'fit' 'toned,' and 'healthy.'

Well that makes sense. I don't think she's trying to make skinny girls feel badly about their bodies. It's just that Conrad, like many other women lately, has gotten hip to how toxic and counter-productive it is to focus on getting thinner. 

Obsessing over thinness leads to frustration, and deprivation (for many of us), and self-loathing. And we all need to work together to pull ourselves out of that mindset. We're learning now that just because you're thin doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy, and that if you're healthy, you may not necessarily be thin. 

This is the revolutionary, liberating idea that's sweeping the fitness world: We need to stop linking skinny with health. 

So good for Conrad. I'm glad she's with the program. There will be plenty of women who start eating better and working out and end up losing weight. And that's super. We'll be polite and not mention that Conrad herself is quite slim because that is so not the point. I think she would agree that it's so much more important to be strong, in your heart, in your muscles, and in your mind. That's a much more worthy goal than skinny.

What do you think about banning words like "skinny"?

San news for a family already hard hit by the floods in Texas. Days after his six-year-old son Andrew's death was confirmed, Jonathan McComb's missing wife, Laura Schultz McComb, has also been confirmed dead. The search continues for the body of their four-year-old daughter, Leighton.

The McCombs were staying in a vacation cabin in Wemberley, in Central Texas, when Memorial Day weekend storms caused the Blanco River to flood. The entire cabin was swallowed by the waters, with the family still inside of it. So far it appears only Jonathan survived.

Another family the McCombs share the cabin with have also suffered losses. The bodies of 71-year-old Sue McNeil Carey, her 73-year-old husband Ralph, and their 43-year-old daughter Michelle Charba have been found. Michelle's 6-year-old son, Will, is still missing.

The death toll from the catastrophic flood across central Texas and Oklahoma now stands at 31, with four people still missing.

Meanwhile, Jonathan McComb has closure on two of his missing family members, but no solace. We can only imagine how bereft he feels after this sudden and violent loss. The McCombs were supposed to be enjoying time together in a beautiful setting. No family expects this to happen to them on a weekend getaway.

Do you think there's a chance that any of the missing will be found alive?

Is Robert Pattinson about to become a new papa? Is his fiance pregnant? Where do people get these silly ideas? Take a good look at the couple as they stepped out for lunch in West Hollywood. FKA Twigs is wearing a crop top. What does that tell you?

Nothing! I mean, everything. The official line is, she who wears a crop top and bares a slim belly is not pregnant. Slim belly, check! Twigs is not visibly pregnant.

I still say she could be invisibly pregnant. Don't laugh -- many women don't show until their second trimester, especially if they're pregnant for the first time. An embryo the size of a pinto bean doesn't need a lot of cushion, yet.

But yeah, Twigs is probably not pregnant. And she'd probably love it if the world would stop staring at her belly and making her feel uncomfortable. Anyway, she's young and her career is hot, so what's the big hurry? Why do we need our celebs to be pregnant and reproducing all the time? Can't an artist build her career for a while without pregnancy rumors hovering over her?

Here's an idea -- maybe Twigs will NEVER be pregnant. Maybe she'll just not have kids, ever, by choice. OMG, world, could you handle that?

It's what Jennifer Aniston did, and look -- she still has pregnancy rumors constantly swirling around her. That must get annoying. Well anyway, as far as we know, RPatz and FKA Twigs are not expecting a baby any time soon, and that's that.

Do you think Twigs and Robert will ever have children together?

Can't get enough of Bruce Jenner's transformation into Caitlyn Jenner? We can't either. We've been poring over images from her Vanity Fair shoot with Annie Leibovitz. She looks amazing in all those glamorous gowns.

Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director, Jessica Diehl, shared what it was like to style Caitlyn Jenner for her big debut. Diehl says that in collaborating with Jenner they went for a classic Hollywood look. Their inspirations were "from Lauren Bacall to The Thomas Crown Affair to people who I think look amazing on the red carpet." She adds, "And just vintage photographs of Old Hollywood stars. A couple of Jackie Kennedys are never wrong." 

Diehl tweeted a behind-the-scenes shot with Jenner getting ready for her closeup with legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.

And here's Jenner getting coiffed by Vanity Fair's beauty team. I keep thinking about how she was growing her hair out leading up to the transformation -- kind of a symbol for the amount of patience for Jenner to do this her way, you know?

In this shot of Jenner looking over images with Leibovitz we catch a glimpse of her manicure.

A closeup reveals some of the clips holding Jenner's 'do together before the cameras start.

Pull out those clips and Jenner is ready in her cleavage-baring Zac Posen gown. Wow!

Diehl says of dressing for Jenner's body type, "She has a fantastic physique. It’s just a totally well-taken-care-of physique. She’s an athlete, so the muscle tone is incredible. She’s slim, and her proportions are very easy to dress."

Jenner still looks Olympic -- maybe even more so in this pose!

For another shot Jenner reclines in a more casual jersey wrap dress.

And then she glams it back up again in a shimmering gown.

She's got it going on down to her pampered toes.

Jenner pauses for a pensive moment at the window -- thinking about her future, maybe?

And finally, a warm embrace for Leibovitz. 

Now see Jenner in motion in these two behind-the-scenes videos.

A drama is playing out in the form of Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2 movie posters. Rebels have taken over the propaganda-spewing Twitter account for Panem's Capitol, One Panem. It's a call to arms -- with one very strikingly threatening image.

Nearly a year ago, One Panem tweeted an all-white propaganda poster featuring President Snow, Johanna, and Peeta. The official presidential portrait is regal in its simplicity. And the whiteness suggests flawlessness, perfection, even invincibility and strength.

But as fans know, by the end of Mockingjay 1 the Capitol is anything but invincible. Here's what happens when the rebels take over -- again, in one very simple image that says "Down with the Capitol." This is not the kind of Unite! President Snow had in mind.

The red, spray-painted Mockingjay logo has an uncanny resemblance to an anarchy symbol. The bird's arrow slashes where President Snow's body once sat. Now his image lies cracked and broken below, a hint of what he's got coming at the hands of the rebels. 

Peeta and Johanna are nowhere to be seen.

Are you getting goosebumps? What a thrilling image! We're hoping the movie lives up to the excitement this poster suggests.

What do you think about the new Mockingjay 2 movie poster?
