Watch a Daredevil Walk on Top of a Moving Train Posted: 31 Aug 2015 09:29 AM PDT In a clip that we wouldn’t recommend watching if you’re prone to vertigo, a daredevil named Pasha Bumchik from the Ukrainian capital Kiev appears to jump onto the roof of a commuter train. He then proceeds to walk across like it is no big deal, as dramatic instrumental music plays in the background. He even manages to film a selfie video during the terrifying stunt. The clip has been viewed on YouTube more than 1 million times since it was uploaded two days ago — becoming the most popular video he has ever shared.

Kate Winslet Did Not Write This Facebook Post Posted: 31 Aug 2015 09:21 AM PDT Several websites have been aggregating an Aug. 27 post on a Facebook page entitled “Kate Winslet” that encourages women to feel good about how they look without makeup — but the page is not the actress’s official fan page. Though the post was created by community members, fans have been commenting on it with their own “no make-up selfies” — a social media trend that started as a way to raise money for cancer, and grew into a larger campaign meant to empower women. The photo of Winslet, however, is real, and was taken — without prep from hair and makeup team — by renowned photographer Chuck Close for Vanity Fair last year. The actress, who has been outspoken in the past about the use of Photoshop in magazines, also recently appeared on NBC’s Running Wild With Bear Grylls without make-up. But the biggest clue that this “inspirational post” is fake is probably the page’s pinned advertisement for “Dogitude,” a site for dog lovers.

President Obama to Run Wild in Alaska With Bear Grylls Posted: 31 Aug 2015 08:34 AM PDT The primary purpose of President Obama’s official visit to Alaska, which begins Monday, is to highlight the effects of climate change on the region. But between a possible hike along the Exit Glacier and visits with salmon fishermen, he will also test his capacity to survive in the wilderness as he tapes a special episode of the NBC reality show Running Wild with Bear Grylls, set to air later this year. The show, now in its second season, has brought celebrities like Kate Winslet and Channing Tatum face-to-face with the elements as Grylls, a survival expert, offers tips on how not to die from snake bites (kill and eat the snake before it eats you) and hunger (eat worms if need be). Past episodes have been filmed in places like Appalachia, Scotland and Yosemite, but Obama’s turn on the show will mark its first trip to Alaska, as well as its first appearance by a sitting president. Obama, who has taken to exclaiming, “the bear is loose!” when leaving the White House for a coffee or a walk, can only hope that his catchphrase remains in the metaphorical realm.

The 11 Best Jokes About Justin Bieber’s Hair at the VMAs Posted: 31 Aug 2015 07:40 AM PDT At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles — hosted by human Instagram feed Miley Cyrus — the Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber showed up sporting a new blond hairstyle made up of oversized bangs hanging off one side of his head. The edgy haircut’s “bad boy” look showed how much he has grown up since 2009, when he burst onto the scene sporting a more boyish bowl cut. Many said the new style made him look like reality star Kate Gosselin . . . I knew #JustinBieber haircut looked familiar!! He's sporting the Kate Gosselin tonight!! #VMAs pic.twitter.com/XlVDGKZsUR — BEYOND (@OITNB_Beyond) August 31, 2015 . . . and he showed he got the joke by posting this photo of the two of them on Instagram: A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Aug 30, 2015 at 8:05pm PDT Here are some of the other comparisons that people have made: Already with these @justinbieber memes!

Read Lena Dunham’s First Short Story in Her New Newsletter Posted: 31 Aug 2015 07:30 AM PDT Lena Dunham, when she’s not working on Girls or musing about her childhood for The New Yorker, has a newsletter, Lenny, that’s about to launch. For its preview “summer fiction” issue, the writer-actress-filmmaker published a short story, “Six Sausages,” in which a woman plans a weekend with her visiting not-quite-boyfriend in New York City – only to question whether it had gone the way she wanted it to, and whether it would mean anything at all. Read the opening paragraphs here: She picked him up at the airport at 9:30, just as the sun was setting, orange and blue above the hangars at JFK. She had cut and flat-ironed her own bangs, which were longer on the left side and came to a gothic point, and purchased a shapeless blue cotton dress at Old Navy. Despite her mother’s feet being as big as paddles, she always borrowed her shoes for important occasions and this was as important as anything, so she limped across the median towards the terminal doors. He came off the plane with a dazed look like a just-landed astronaut. She clapped her hands when she saw him, and then back-tracked to a shy wave. In the cab back to her parents’ house he stared out the window. He was more transfixed by the nothingness surrounding the airport, the broken-down pre-fabs and mattress warehouses and tortilla factories, than he was by the city’s bridges, hanging like fine necklaces and which she could never accurately name. When she explained the geography of New York to him, she was really explaining her personal geography. “Look!” she said.“That’s where I went to pre-school and got a bean stuck up my nose.” “Really?” he asked, distracted by a pack of teens skateboarding boldly through traffic. “That doesn’t look like a school. It looks like a store.” He’d been to New York once before, in that way groups of boys come to New York after high school, walking cockily around Times Square looking for fake IDs and suspicious looking people to dupe them into dangerous purchases. “Once,” he told her, “I accidentally bought ether.” She laughed, but she wasn’t really listening, just breathing in his smell—laundry, mixed with sour hungry breath—and letting herself forget the torture of June and July. He didn’t have a cell phone and so she never knew when he’d call or what number he’d be calling from. Mostly he called from his friend Greg’s phone and they had to keep the interactions brief—she could hear Greg in the background muttering, “Dude, my minutes.” She had asked him, again and again, if he would visit, finally offering to buy the ticket with her own money, which really meant her parents’ money. It took him another three weeks to decide if he could live with the ambiguous morality of this before he finally accepted the flight. And now he was here. For more, head over to Lenny.

This Army of Inflatable Ducks Screaming in Unison Will Haunt Your Dreams Posted: 31 Aug 2015 07:21 AM PDT If you want to hear a sound that’s annoying, terrifying and, somehow, totally captivating at the same time, check out this video that started going viral over the weekend. It features a single hand reaching into a large container full of inflatable squeaky ducks, prompting them all to scream in unison. It’s rather hellish. A version of the video was uploaded to Vine, where it has been looped more than 36 million times. However, as Mashable points out, an Instagram user named Kevin Synnes claims to be the original creator. Behold his video, uploaded on Aug. 29: The original video… Husk lyd! :D for licensing / usage, please contact licensing@viralhog.com #viralhog #funny #biltema #kristiansand #friday #vacation #ducks #army A video posted by Kevin Synnes (@monstergarasj) on Aug 28, 2015 at 1:30pm PDT Naturally, this has already become a meme, and people have been having a lot of fun interpreting it: Good luck trying to sleep tonight.

Watch Justin Bieber’s Long-Awaited Video for ‘What Do You Mean’ Posted: 31 Aug 2015 06:39 AM PDT It’s been quite the week for Justin Bieber. After releasing his brand new song, “What Do You Mean,” on Friday, the 21-year-old performed his new hit for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday in an emotional performance (complete with tears). He then shared the official music video for the song just moments after the show wrapped. The video, which is more like a short film, is produced by Brad Furman and features Bieber, actor John Leguizamo and model Xenia Deli (Bieber’s rumored new girlfriend). The pop star shows off some serious moves with Deli, 25, during their sexy makeout in a motel room until a couple of masked individuals break into the room and kidnap the duo. After an epic escape, the couple wind up at a skate party where Leguizamo reveals himself as one of the “kidnappers.” Bieber has been teasing his new hit for months on Instagram, enlisting dozens of stars to help him count down to the single’s release.

The Kardashians Get Early Start on Kanye West’s 2020 Presidential Campaign Posted: 31 Aug 2015 06:32 AM PDT Kanye West for president? While accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, the MTV Video Music Awards’ highest honor, on Sunday night, West announced that he’s pursuing a career in politics, specifically as president of the United States. “I don’t know what I stand to lose after this, it don’t matter though, because it ain’t about me, it’s about new ideas, bro, new ideas. People with ideas, people who believe in truth,” he said. “And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.” It’s still unclear if he’s serious, but the rapper has the support of one of America’s most powerful families behind him: the Kardashian/Jenner clan (aka this generation’s Kennedys). West’s in-laws quickly rallied their fans across social media in case a bid really is forthcoming. “Mr. West,” tweeted Khloé Kardashian, complete with emoji American flags.

Michigan Man Says He’ll Trade Kanye West Sneakers for a ‘Working Kidney’ Posted: 31 Aug 2015 06:16 AM PDT Kanye West’s Yeezy shoe model may cost an arm and a leg on eBay, but no one said the footwear would be worth a kidney. Matt Neal, a 26-year-old Michigan resident, is promising a pair of Yeezy shoes to anyone who donates a kidney with his matching blood type, according t0 a Facebook offer. A pair of ultra-rare Adidas Yeezy Boost normally sells for $1,000 or more on the Web. “People are always joking that they would give a kidney for a pair of yeezy’s!!” Neal says in a Facebook post. “Well here’s your chance, I’m 26 with 2 failing kidneys.” Waiting for a kidney transplant can take years in most states in the country, a luxury of time many do not have. Neal said in a Facebook post that he has been flooded with responses to his shoe offer. Neal’s shoe-kidney trade may not actually be possible, however, as federal law bans the exchange of merchandise for organs on an open market. He didn’t immediately respond to an interview request. “With all the people getting in touch with me about getting tested it is going to be really hard to message everyone individually,” Neal said on Facebook. “I’m going to find time over the coming days to get back to you all individually. Thank you for all of your love and interest!”

Google Doodle Has Two Letters Playing Tennis to Celebrate This Year’s U.S. Open Posted: 31 Aug 2015 12:26 AM PDT As tennis stars Marin Cilic and Serena Williams prepare to defend their U.S. Open titles on Monday (with Williams on track to complete a “calendar-year Grand Slam” by winning all four major tournaments within 12 months), Google’s logo is already engaged in a tense tennis battle with its g doing battle with one of the o twins on Monday’s Doodle. The iconic tournament at New York City’s Flushing Meadows is the season’s final Grand Slam after the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon, and Google is celebrating “the possibility of a historic moment at Arthur Ashe stadium” should Williams become the first woman to win all four consecutively since Steffi Graf in 1988. Fortunately, as the company says, “Serena can’t hit a through-body lob like today’s ‘o.’” Read next: What to Know Before the U.S. Open Download TIME’s mobile app for iOS to have your world explained wherever you go
