football

It's easy for teens to take their parents for granted. We are always hovering, asking questions, getting into their business. We never actually give them the opportunity to truly miss us. That's clearly not the case for all those teens with parents in the military. That separation can be agonizing, but it also makes the reunions that much sweeter. Among the most astonishing examples I've ever seen is the surprise return of Master Sergeant Joseph Martel at his son's football game.

With his dad disguised in a football uniform and helmet, the teen had no idea he had returned early from deployment. The reaction is priceless. Get the tissues ready!

No matter their age, this is a reminder just how much our kids need us. There is nothing like that bond. It’s really heartwarming seeing this big, brawny, tough football player break down in complete joy at seeing his dad. Such a special moment -- not just for them but everyone who witnessed it.

Did this bring tears to your eyes?

Tina Fey’s Sexy Wardrobe Malfunction at the Emmys Was the Surprise of the Night (VIDEO)

tina feyDisclaimer: I feel incredibly guilty about what I'm about to write. That said, I'm going to write about it anyway, because I'm in the business of writing about things. Tina Fey suffered a nip slip at the Emmys on Sunday. Okay, I feel like I need to shower now. It feels really dirty to reduce an amazingly funny and smart woman who's done unbelievable things to a wardrobe malfunction.

The slip happened when she was on stage, accepting her award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series with fellow writer Tracey Wigfield, and truth be told, I personally didn't see it when I was watching the show live. It apparently takes a very astute eye, trained in the art of nip slips, to spot Tina's dress snafu, and it wasn't until I hopped onto the ever-kind Internet that I heard/saw what happened.

Basically, what happened is when Tina sort of shrugged her shoulders upward, one of her breasts peeked up out of the (stunning) cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez halter gown she was wearing. And then a few people were like, "Oh my gah, you guys! A boob! Can you believe it?! Tina Fey has boobs!!!" The end.

I'd say this registers in at about a 3 on the wardrobe malfunction scale. It's barely noticeable unless you're really looking for it. And, also, we know Tina isn't the kind of gal to have an intentional W.M. on national television for publicity's sake. She's far too amazingly funny and smart for that. Heart you, Tina. 

Here's a video that breaks down Tina's nip slip in disturbingly painstaking detail:

Did you notice Tina's wardrobe malfunction the first time 'round?

Military Mom Almost Ruins Plans for Surprise Reunion With Daughter and We Totally Get It (VIDEO)

Capt. JR LundI love a good military homecoming video. Who doesn't (no, really, who?)? But I've always wondered how it is that these moms and dads manage to keep themselves from blowing the surprise. If it were me just home from war, I don't know that I could contain myself. That's what I really love about the latest military mom surprising her kid at a football game.

Capt. JR Lund came home early from Afghanistan. She didn't tell her 13-year-old daughter ... so she could manage to surprise her at Saturday's Wisconsin vs. Purdue game. But from the looks of it, Mom almost didn't make it to the game!

Aww! Did you catch the part about how Mom just wanted to go run over and grab her daughter ... but she was trying her darndest to rein it in so she could make the surprise even more meaningful? She almost ruined her own surprise! Maybe it's because she's an Army Reservist that JR Lund is so much stronger than the rest of us?

Or at least stronger than me?

I don't know that I could do it. If I'm away from my kid just for a few days for a business trip, I come home and it's all I can do not to smother the poor thing with love and attention!

Not that JR Lund's daughter isn't getting plenty of that -- did you see the look on mother's and daughter's faces when they finally DID see each other?

Would you be able to hold out to surprise your kid or would you ruin your own surprise?

fruit

Whenever I'm down, I know full-well that eating fruits and veggies will improve my mood almost immediately. This isn't just because of how fruit nourishes your brain, but also because fruit is just plain delicious!

When I'm not eating fruit, I don't give it a lot of thought. This does nature's dessert a major disservice. Because -- excuse me while I geek out over here -- fruit is fascinating! Don't believe me? Read on for 5 facts about your favorite fruits that will absolutely surprise you. They also double as great dinner-party small talk. Yay, social skills!

1. Bananas

Not only delicious, filling, and the bane of all carb-avoiding dieters, this "fruit" is hiding something. It's actually an herb! The world's largest, in fact. It is in the same family as lilies. Only people seldom comically slip and fall on lilies. That we know of, anyway.

2. Apples

Yes, yes, they'll keep the doctor away -- but did you know apples also have enough natural sugar in them to keep you more awake than your morning cup of joe? I'd say this changes everything, but my caffeine addiction can't hear you.

3. Grapefruit

Sure, fruit is excellent for you, but be wary of grapefruit if you're on certain prescription drugs -- otherwise, this gentle citrus could become your deadly nemesis.

4. Cranberries

This tart and scrumptious berry has a secret -- not only is it good to eat, it's also fun to play with. Thanks to a natural air pocket in each berry, cranberries BOUNCE!

5. Strawberries

You guys. Prepare to have your world rocked. Strawberries? Arguably the most delicious of all the berries? Is. Not. A. Berry. Technically, it's not even a fruit! It's like we're in the Matrix or something. Whatever, they are still delicious.

Do you know any other surprising fruit facts?

Kate WinsletUgh. Smoking. It's the worst. And I feel like sort of a hypocrite saying that since I puffed on a cigarette or two back in my college days, but now? I absolutely CAN'T stand it.

Cigarettes reek to high heaven. And they're dirty. And whenever I see a celebrity with a cancer stick in their hand, their level of attractiveness drops down a few levels and I wonder why in the heck they've adopted such a disgusting habit.

The identities of some A-list smokers will probably shock the hell out of you. I know I was surprised to see moms and other well known stars getting their nicotine fix.

Take a look at these photos to see 10 celebrity smokers you probably never expected.

Note -- not all of the pics are from this year, so there's a chance some of these ladies have quit smoking since they were taken. (Let's hope so.)

Lindsay Lohan’s First Post-Rehab Selfie Is Sure to Surprise Fans (PHOTOS)

Lindsay, before her stint in rehab.These days, Lindsay Lohan is better known for her substance abuse issues than for her once-stellar acting ability. It really is a shame how far her star has fallen. Even notables like Ben Affleck are trying to help the poor girl get back on her feet. Well, now that her 90-day stint in rehab is finally over, it seems that Lindsay could be ready for a real comeback. The proof? The recent selfie she posted on Instagram. Read on to see for yourself.

We had gotten so accustomed to seeing the actress look puffy and haggard with straggly hair. She looked more like a 45-year-old than a 20-something. It was obvious to all that something was seriously wrong with her. But now clean and sober, her newfound sobriety shows on her face. Lindsay recently posted this stunning photo for fans and she looks amazing.

lindsay

Anyone who takes a look at her "before" and "after" photos can't deny how drugs can ravage the body, even in someone so young. Not only is her skin radiant and glowing, she looks healthy. She added the caption, "#back@work! So grateful today!:)." It's certainly been a long road to recovery for the star. She has been plagued with more legal drama and scandal than any other marquee name in Hollywood. She was given so many second chances and she seemed to just squander them all. People actually began placing bets as to whether her next move would be to jail or a cemetery plot. It was so sad. But this gives everyone hope that she can recoup what she has lost. This is the Lindsay die-hard fans have waited for: fresh-faced and ready to fulfill her potential. Let's just hope she makes it this time.

How do you think Lindsay looks now? Do you think she can stay sober?

Man’s Sandwich From Airport Restaurant Starts Moving and He Finds a Horrible Surprise Inside (VIDEO)

maggot sandwichHello everyone, I'm about to share with you an incredibly gross story. I'm warning you upfront, just so you're prepared. All right? Here goes. A man named Joel Woloshuk bought himself a focaccia sandwich at an airport and was just about to dig in when he noticed something curious: The parmesean was moving. "I'm looking at what I thought was parmesan, right? And the parmesan began to move," Woloshuk said. (Kind of gives new meaning to Who Moved My Cheese, right?) This was a troubling development, so he bravely decided to investigate. After some poking and prodding, he discovered what is perhaps one of the worst things you can ever find in your food. His sandwich was full of maggots.

The! Horror! There they were, the little grubs, squirming amidst the cheese and tomato. Somehow, maybe because he was on an airplane by this time, Woloshuk refrained from screaming and flinging the sandwich away (like I would have). Instead, he took video of the sandwich in action. And he kept that sandwich through his entire flight from Atlanta to Miami. And back to Atlanta.

When Woloshuk brought the sandwich back to the airport cafe where he bought it, he got the brush-off. News reporter Amy Napier Viteri called the president of the company that runs the cafe, and he told her the maggots couldn't possibly have originated at his shop -- he blamed it on the vendor who supplies their bread. A followup inspection showed that the cafe was clean enough, and the cafe says they have removed every last crumb from that bakery and will never buy bread from them ever again.

Okay, so that's a relief. But I still think they should take a little more responsibility for the incident. Didn't anyone notice anything when they were building that sandwich? Shouldn't someone from the cafe be doing some sort of quality control of everything that comes into their kitchen before they send it out to diners? As a human who occasionally eats food made by other people, that is something I would like restaurants to do. YOU KNOW?

Because if they chose to do business with that bakery, they may be doing business with other, equally lousy suppliers. This should bring about a little due diligence. Maybe they should be looking closer at everything that comes into their kitchen and training their employees to pull anything that looks a bit funky. Then I think they'd be a more trustworthy place to get some pre-flight lunch.

What would you do if you found maggots in your sandwich?

military homecomingFew things can rival the relationship between two siblings -- especially when you're young. They're the person you complain about Mom and Dad to; they're the person you hang out with on family vacations; they're the person who can make you laugh like no other. They're a built-in forever friend. So when one of those siblings is deployed due to their brave decision to serve our country, it has to be terrifying for the other.

Check out this adorable brother giving his equally adorable sister the surprise of her life with his amazing military homecoming. Her reaction is truly priceless.

What a great reaction. This girl is genuinely shocked at her bro's casual "remember me?" greeting. And you can just see the love between these two through their long hug. So glad they were reunited. What an adorable pair!

How sweet is this?

Single Mom Caught Shoplifting Gets Touching Surprise From Cops

It's not easy being a single mother. Besides the social stigma that still exists, the judgmental attitudes, the sheer difficulty of finding the time to parent and work, there are the economic realities. Let's face it, not all fathers are helping out as much as they absolutely should financially, and that can leave the mom in the lurch. When one mom got desperate for the stuff she needed for her kids, she resorted to shoplifting. Definitely not an excuse, but it happened. However, after police were called to the scene -- where the mom was with her two children -- she got the surprise of her life.

Police were called to a K-Mart in West Virginia, and when they arrived they found a single mother who had shoplifted several items. But the items were clearly not for herself. In fact, the people she had stolen for were with her: Her 7-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old daughter. Said one of the officers:

She didn't take anything to benefit herself. She had only taken baby diapers, rash cream, and some clothes for her children, because she said she was going through kind of a rough divorce and her husband wasn't really helping out.

We all know how expensive diapers are!

The two cops, Ryan Willard and Duane Fields, were so touched they decided to buy the items for the woman. Now those are two men who were brought up right!

Wouldn't this be a great world if everyone occasionally reached out to help those in need? It's awesome that the cops, instead of sticking to the letter of the law, looked at the case individually for what it was -- a mom trying to help her babies, even though she was going the wrong way about it. We need more officers like this. We need more people like this.

The mom was so astonished and touched by what they did that she asked what she could do for them. Willard replied, "Try not to shoplift again."

K-Mart, however, did not drop the charges and the mom was fined $50. This is unfortunate since an arrest could prevent her from getting a job. But I realize that stores can't give away freebies to everyone who wants them or their shelves would be bare. But it would be helpful if a huge corporation like that could have some social outreach in their stores. Or point the mom to where she can get help. Her two daughters should not be watching her steal. She shouldn't be desperate enough that she has to steal.

And a big thank-you to those officers, eh? Being a cop isn't all about collaring bad guys and putting people in the clink. It's also about being good, honorable, and helpful. They seem to realize that.

What should have happened to this mom?

surprise pregnancy announcementIt seems like pretty much every pregnancy announcement under the sun has been done. Search "pregnancy announcement" on YouTube and a list of videos that could ostensibly fill the Empire State Building twice comes up. They're all adorable; they all elicit adorable reactions from the surprisee; but they all kind of make you think, "Man. It really all has been done."

I'm here to tell you it hasn't all been done. You too can come up with a never-before-seen pregnancy announcement! It just takes a little creativity. Take this couple, for instance. They thought of a super cute way to surprise their mom with news of their impending bundle. It was super simple. Super inexpensive. All they needed was a piece of bread.

Check it out. Because you're hard-pressed to ever see a reaction to a pregnancy this enthusiastic. Sheer awesomeness ahead.

What a cute idea, right? And so simple. Doesn't get much easier than literally placing a bun in the oven and having someone find it! And what a positively awesome reaction from mom. Man, she was excited. A-plus all around.

Now. Are you thinking about how to announce your pregnancy? (You totally are, I know it.)

Did you announce your pregnancy in a fun way?

Insider Secrets From Lindsay Lohan's Rehab Stay May Surprise You (VIDEO)

lindsay lohan Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab and looks, well, pretty amazing by LiLo standards! The buzz surrounding her visit to the Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center is mostly positive, and now, a member of her recovery group, Tommy Tracy, is speaking out about what the troubled actress was really like behind closed doors. He sounds like a screwball jerk to be squawking about LiLo to the press and so quickly. Not cool. But we still had to know what he has to say ...

Tracy told FOX 5, "[Lindsay]'s got a lot of strong talent acting, but there really wasn't acting there. There was really more soul searching there and her inter-development of her well-being and wanting to gain independence for herself." Hmm, seems promising, right?

He continued ...

[She was] really taking Alcoholics Anonymous seriously and wanting things to be different. Really contemplating life, what is really important in life. ... The party is over, and it is pretty much time for her to get serious about what she is doing in her career. I just don't see any signs of it being a problem.

Tommy, whose son got a birthday shout-out from LiLo on Twitter, went on to say he feels like Lindsay's "heart is in the right place. I can honestly tell you she would sit with her little notebook and she would be working on her 12 steps all the time. I have never seen someone so committed to it."

Not to be a total Debbie Downer, but this guy may just want his 15 seconds of fame and feels like he can get that by saying the opposite of what everyone else is saying ...

Unfortunately, not everyone seems to think Lindsay's recovery is a sure thing ... Director Paul Schrader, who worked with Lindsay Lohan on her new movie The Canyons, seems to believe her struggles with alcohol are overplayed, noting that he thinks she's just a "cheap drunk." Instead, he thinks her real problem is an addiction to the ADD prescription drug Adderall. Bret Easton Ellis, known for his big mouth on Twitter and penning The Canyons, seems to feel similarly, noting that he thinks her Adderall use may have made her "bossy" and affected her behavior otherwise on the set.

Meanwhile, Lindsay says she needs the amphetamine to control her severe ADD, and although she was off it in rehab, she reportedly wants her prescription refilled ASAP. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out ... But for LiLo's sake, I hope Tommy Tracy is on to something about her fate.

Here's Tracy's full interview ...

How do you think LiLo will fare post-rehab?

military homecomingWhat's better than one surprise military homecoming? A million military surprise homecomings. Instead of surprising just one family member when he returned home, an airman decided to surprise each of his family members -- including his dogs -- one by one. Okay, so there aren't a million surprises in this video, but there are a lot. And each one is better than the last. Why should one family member get all the fun?

Check out the beautiful and touching video:

Love this! I'm sure each and every one of these people were equally thrilled to see their long lost family member. So sweet that he treated them all the same and surprised everyone. Let's hope this starts a trend.

But I can't lie. I do think the dogs may have had the best reaction.

How great is this idea?

Soldier's Homecoming Surprise for Girlfriend Would’ve Been More Fun Without Cops

These days, homecoming soldiers make kind of a sport of surprising their loved ones in unexpected places. The dad who surprised his kids at a birthday party. The guy who surprised his grandma at Christmas. The dad who showed up on a baseball field. The other dad who showed up at a baseball field. But Army soldier Cody Weigle got especially creative. He thought he'd give his girlfriend a little scare before the hugs and the tears started. And he enlisted a police officer to help him out. Did he go too far?

After Cody's girlfriend, Alix Swinford, told her boyfriend via Skype that she'd never once been pulled over for a traffic violation, Cody's brain began a whirlin' with the possibilities.

Weeks of planning went into his decision to surprise Alix in a way she'd never forget. He enlisted the aid of a police officer in Mattoon, Illinois to drive him to where he knew that Alix and her sister, Sydni, would be driving. He knew where they'd be because Syndi was in on the surprise.

Once Alix and Sydni drove by the cruiser, which had Cody inside, the officer flashed his lights and pulled them over for a supposed seat belt violation. Presumably, Sydni opted not to wear her seatbelt that day to assist in the plot. Hey, not safe, y'all!

The officer asked Alix to step out of the car to discuss her sister's violation. He then stepped away and let someone come into view whom she wasn't expecting ... her boyfriend, Cody!

Stunned Alix hit her boyfriend over his head for scaring her so badly. Haha. No, she didn't. She hugged him, 'kay?

Hey, this is cute and military must be so excited to be home that they want to amp up the excitement even more. But I dunno about enlisting a cop to pull a fake arrest manuever. Though police do get bored sometimes. I remember a couple of cops agreeing to drive me to my house and they came to tell my sleeping roommate that they had arrested me outside, as I was breaking in. My startled roomie tried to explain that I lived there, but they claimed they were hauling me off to jail. Just when she got really upset, we all began laughing. Oh, those cops. Silly wabbits.

Anyway, back to Alix and Cody. The two lovebirds were reunited there in the streets of Mattoon, and hopefully no cops pulled them over for real later that night!

Do you think this surprise was cute or went too far?
