VP-Elect Mike Pence Gets A Stern Talking To By The Cast Of 'Hamilton' And The Internet Reacts
#Hamilton is one the hottest tickets on #Broadway right now (maybe ever), with sold out performances for months. Vice President elect Mike Pence just assumed that he would have a quiet night out at the theater when he caught a performance of the show, but he thought wrong. Instead, he was roundly booed when the audience realized he was there. The play has a diverse cast, portraying American history in an raw and unique way, and they took the opportunity to call out Pence in the most polite way possible that they hope he will be better in the future about being a Vice President for all Americans, not just the ones who hold his same beliefs.

Caine You Believe It? Why Did No One Spot Michael Caine's 'Dunkirk' Cameo?
As Dunkirk guns down the enemy at the box office, Christopher Nolan's wartime epic will surely be remembered alongside the greats like Pearl Harbor and Saving Private Ryan. Said to have redefined the war movie genre, Nolan has waved his directorial wand over yet another masterpiece and given us a cinematic event for the ages. However, with an all-star cast of Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and even Harry Styles, did anyone spot Michael Caine among the all the flying and the floating?

Why Stan Lee Says That Robert Downey Jr. Is The Only (Iron) Man For The Job
There are some parts that people are just born to play, from Hugh Jackman as #Wolverine, #RobertDowneyJr., and... Bob Hoskins as Super Mario. However, with #superhero franchises being overhauled and rebooted left right and center, the casting/recasting of superheroes is a dangerous game. Many people will have seen three Spider-Men, two Prof. Xs, and five Bruce Waynes in their lifetime. You know who the best is; nobody beats RDJ as #IronMan. He is literally the coolest, watch him deliver a bionic Iron Man arm to a 7-year-old boy with a partially developed limb:

From Pastor To Prime Minister: A John Lithgow Retrospective
That cheeky grin and his ever-receding hairline, #JohnLithgow has kept us entertained since the '70s with the chameleon-like ability to play anyone and everyone. From his award-winning role as transsexual ex-football Roberta in The World According to Garp, to the Alzheimer's-afflicted Charles Rodman in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, John Arthur Lithgow rightly deserves his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Debra Messing And Susan Sarandon Got Into A Political Showdown On Twitter And Debra Was NOT Having It
If you are anything like me, your Facebook has been inundated with constant political posts ever since the election (and even before). It isn't pretty, with the President-elect having many people divided across the country. #SusanSarandon is one of many celebrities who have gotten very vocal recently about the election on her Twitter account. She was a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter but when he backed out she supported third-party candidate Jill Stein, stating

Place Your Rhetts: What's The Deal With 'American Horror Story's' Uber Driver Rhett Snow?
Oh no, #AmericanHorrorStory, what have you done to our horror hunks? Finn Wittrock became a slack-jawed yokel, Evan Peters was butchered twice, and Matt Bomer was totally MIA. Luckily the sixth season of #RyanMurhpy's horror anthology got something right by giving us something else pretty to look at with newcomer Billy Snow.

These Behind The Scenes Videos Of 'You're Watching Disney Channel' Clips Are Beyond Awkward
In the 2000s, there was one commercial spot (called a "bumper") that every kid that watched the #DisneyChannel knew, and that was the "Hi, I'm ____ and you're watching Disney Channel" spot, done by Disney Channel stars drawing the #MickeyMouse ears in the corner and looking happy as can be. It seems as though that would have been the easiest thing to do, right? I mean, it only lasted a few seconds and required just one line and some air-doodling.

Is Dwayne Johnson Ready To 'Rock' The White House As President In 2020?
No, this isn't a follow-up to White House Down where #TheRock saves Jamie Foxx's President from another attack from international terrorists — however, please take my money for that. This is the wild rumor that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson could be throwing his hat into the ring for the 2020 Presidential #Election. Joining other pro-wrestlers Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse "The Body" Ventura on the path to politics, could this be the next logical step for the Wrestlemania legend?
