Immediately following President Trump‘s oath of office on the West front of the U.S. Capitol, former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, slipped through the building and out to its East front. On the steps, the former first couple shared embraces with former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, as well as Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen.

To country music fans, Cody Alan has always been a ball of sunshine. But for years, the seemingly happy-go-lucky Cmt and iHeartRadio host suffered an identity crisis, holding onto a secret he’s finally ready to share — that he’s gay.

Former President George W. Bush is getting flack for appearing too exuberant during the interfaith memorial service for the five Dallas police officers killed by sniper fire. On Tuesday, Bush, holding hands with First Lady Michelle Obama, swayed and swung his arms in a somewhat cheerful manner during a performance of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. The 70-year-old sang along while standing in between Flotus and his wife, Laura Bush. In response to the moment, captured on video, many expressed that Bush should have sung along more tastefully. "What an awkward time to be dancing like that,...

President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush on Tuesday spoke at an interfaith memorial service in Dallas for the five police officers who were killed by sniper fire in the city late last week. Bush, who now calls Dallas home, paid tribute to the nation's law-enforcement community at large, saying, "Their courage is our protection and shield." He also said he regretted that lately, "argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates too quickly into dehumanization. Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions. This has strained our bonds of understanding.

Josh Elkin’s upcoming show will likely satisfy fans who boast a sweet tooth. The Epic Meal Time star will host the Cooking Channel baking competition show Sugar Showdown, set for release on October 1, 2015.

The bakers will first compete to see who can create the best sweet treat incorporating a mystery ingredient like balsamic vinegar or beets.

"I don't think it was a toy... it was something else, something special." After posting the short for The Grey Matter, I was emailed by a reader named Jj who recommended I watch another short that he "loved" called The Hatchling about a boy and his dinosaur egg. Indeed it's a fantastic short that has a touch of Spielberg by way of Jurassic Park. Instead of going dark or violent and down the horror path with this one, the short plays on the magic of childhood and our imaginations, and the possibility of anything. It's a charming short that ends in a way that should make you smile, while lighting up your own imagination. View in full below. Here's the only synopsis I could find: Breaking an egg is one thing, but breaking a heart is another. The Hatchling is a short film written and directed by John Wikstrom, produced by Michael Bennett Smith,...
