Happy Mother’s Day, moms.
The folks over at How Fucking Romantic have taken on the monumental task of illustrating every song on this classic indie album. The imaginings of 69 Love Songs, Illustrated are as unique and eclectic as the songs themselves. Here are just a few examples.

Because Bravo’s Tabatha Takes Over wasn’t enough Coffey realness for you.
Bravo has launched six episodes of the all-new original web series. And yes, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. The short episodes follow Coffey around as she conducts her daily business.

The White House press secretary said Susan Rice discussed the possibility that al-Qaeda might be involved in the Sept. 11 attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi. But outside of a brief mention on CBS’s Face the Nation , Rice mostly did not discuss the involvement of al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda affiliates.
Rice was not questioned about and did not bring up al-Qaeda's possible involvement during her other two appearances on CNN or NBC. She was directly questioned about it on ABC, CBS, and Fox News.
TAPPER: So, first of all, what is the latest you can tell us on who these attackers were at the embassy or at the consulate in Benghazi? We're hearing that the Libyans have arrested people. They're saying that some people involved were from outside the country, that there might have even been al-Qaeda ties. What's the latest information?
RICE: Well, Jake, first of all, it's important to know that there's an FBI investigation that has begun and will take some time to be completed. That will tell us with certainty what transpired.
But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous — not a premeditated — response to what had transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.
We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to — or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in — in the wake of the revolution in Libya are — are quite common and accessible. And it then evolved from there.
We'll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that's the best information we have at present.

WALLACE: Let's talk about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi this week that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
The top Libyan official says that the attack on Tuesday was, quote, his words "preplanned". Al-Qaeda says the operation was revenge for our killing a top al-Qaeda leader.
What do we know?
RICE: Well, first of all, Chris, we are obviously investigating this very closely. The FBI has a lead in this investigation. The information, the best information and the best assessment we have today is that in fact this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. That what happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in Cairo as a consequence of the video. People gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent and those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post-revolutionary Libya and that then spun out of control.
But we don't see at this point signs this was a coordinated plan, premeditated attack. Obviously, we will wait for the results of the investigation and we don't want to jump to conclusions before then. But I do think it's important for the American people to know our best current assessment.

Retired actor Rick Moranis is releasing a brand new album , which we hope means an imminent return to acting. Here are some of the roles that made him a star in our hearts.
Rick Moranis was playing nerds long before it was cool to be playing nerds. But audiences liked him because he was so charming in his ineptitude. Even in Little Shop when he's feeding bodies to his carnivorous alien plant, you can mostly see where he's coming from. And you root for him — not Audrey II — to get the girl in the end. (I guess that's why they scrapped the darker original ending.)
Via: Warner Bros.
There were a few notable kids sports movies in the early '90s, but only Little Giants gave us Rick Moranis as Danny O'Shea, coach of a ragtag group of misfits. Like his team, Danny is slight, awkward, and unassuming, but his heart makes him strong. Care to guess which team wins when the Little Giants face off against the Cowboys, coached by Danny's bully brother.
Via: Warner Bros.
He's not exactly Darth Vader, but Rick Moranis' Lord Dark Helmet is pretty evil in Spaceballs — you know, when he's not fumbling with his comically oversized helmet. It's difficult for Moranis to be intimidating, but luckily the role doesn't require that we take him at all seriously. And his dangerous Napoleon complex certainly makes sense here.
Via: MGM
Are you the Gatekeeper? Rick Moranis is the Keymaster! Well, he is toward the end of the first Ghostbusters when Louis and Dana get possessed. When he's not fornicating with Zuul, Louis is a shy, clumsy guy who just wants to help. Sounds an awful lot like Moranis' other roles — although the ghosts here definitely raise the stakes.

What does Thierry Henry, one of the best French players ever, get out of playing in the United States?

There's no straight-up proxy in American sports for what aging-but-not-washed-up soccer stars do with their careers. When Chipper Jones can't be a full-time contributor to the Atlanta Braves anymore, he doesn't go to play for the minor-league team in Chattanooga. Henry is still capable of top-notch plays — like the bicycle kick or this sneaky goal during his brief return to Arsenal on "loan" last year — but is too old to be a team centerpiece at the highest level. But he can still be a centerpiece in MLS — and earn a lot of money doing it. Henry's making $3.75 million this year, which is a lot more than your typical Chattanooga Lookout. There's also a semi-philanthropic angle, in that Henry can use his fame to help spread the popularity of soccer in the U.S. Also appealing: he gets to live in one of the world's greatest cities in relative anonymity. Which is to say: if Chipper Jones could pull down $4 million a season to live in Rio, hit home runs in full stadiums, and become one of the faces of an up-and-coming game in a new country, he'd probably be on the beach right now.

Years later, you now know these films made you realize you had private parts and you hated your parents.
Drop Dead Fred is the trouble-making childhood imaginary friend of Lizze (played by Pheobe Cates) who returns once Lizzie has grown up and is going through a rocky time in her marriage. The plot revolves around Fred "helping" Lizzie get her husband back, but what's super disturbing is Fred's pervy fetish with looking at women's panties (which he can do simply by lying on the floor and staring up their skirts because he is invisible). You also can't help but get the impression that Fred is (and always has been) in love with Lizzie.
The takeaway: If your imaginary best friend wasn't sexualized before this movie, he was now.

This movie begins with Elijah Wood, playing North, an 11-year-old boy who suffers a full-on panic attack in the first three minutes of the film. You likely had never had a panic attack when you saw this movie, but now you knew what they were. So, North had supremely shitty parents (they were legitimately depressing) and he decides to divorce them and look for a new set of parents. And when he goes out into the world and travels the globe (Texas, Alaska, Paris...) he finds parents are shitty everywhere on this goddamn earth. Then North is dodging a hit man before running back to his original parents. This whole adventure is passed off as a dream North had when he fell asleep at the mall, and when he actually returns to his parents...everything is magically fixed? Um.
The takeaway: You're trapped. FOREVERRRRR.
There's a lot that's supremely messed up about this cult movie featuring a young Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie's package — which may or may not have been responsible for your sexual awakening. Besides the fact that Connelly's character, Sarah, speaks super abusively to her baby brother, there's also the relationship between Sarah and The Goblin King, which would be a felony if consummated. And yet, you want it to happen. And you kind of want Sarah to stay in the labyrinth and not return to the real world. There's something weirdly sad about that final scene where Sarah figures out how to escape and you see Bowie exposed for what he is — a desperate man who doesn't want to be alone. "Look what I'm offering you — your dreams...Just let me rule you and you can have everything that you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave."
The takeaway: If you have a thing for older men and tend to run away from your problems, this is why.

This is one of Katherine Heigl's first movies and while she's amazingly fresh-faced and beautiful, you can't help but be disturbed by the messed up motivations of her character. Her estranged father, played by Gerard Depardieu, decides to take his teenage daughter (Heigl) on a vacation. There, Heigl meets a cute boy but tries to make said boy jealous by telling him her father is in fact her lover. And when word gets around at the resort...no one calls the cops? And then Depardieu goes along with this scheme to help his daughter get with the hot guy?
The takeaway: Soooo many daddy issues.
The usually pale British supermodel was a smart choice by St. Tropez.
Moss has been chosen as the first St. Tropez "brand ambassador." The ads will run globally.
Michelle Feeney, CEO of PZ Cussons Beauty, owners of St. Tropez commented about the campaign and Moss:
"We're absolutely thrilled that Kate Moss has chosen to work with us on our new campaign: it gives us the ultimate stamp of approval on the quality of our products.
Kate epitomises St. Tropez's naturally glamorous approach to self-tanning and is a long-time advocate of the brand. Kate's fashion icon status is important to us but now her growing number of beauty campaigns proves that her appeal as a beauty icon resonates with confident women across all age groups globally. Not only is she beautiful but she has this amazing attitude. St. Tropez is about confidence."
Well, you can't spell "ambassador" without "ass." (sorry).
Ad agency: Karmarama, London.
It's not the first time Moss has put her ass on the line for advertising.
