Anthony Anderson addresses resurfaced interview where he told teenage Lindsay Lohan he likes them 'young'
Anthony Anderson has addressed his viral clip telling a teenage Lindsay Lohan that he likes them "young" in 2003. Over 20 years ago, Anderson filled in for Sharon Osbourne on "The Sharon Osbourne Show" when he interviewed Lohan, who was 17 at the time. "This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay," a spokesperson for Anderson told Entertainment Weekly. "Any implication to the contrary is both inaccurate and potentially defamatory." In a clip of the interview that has resurfaced online, Anderson asked Lohan about her home life, and she informed him that she had recently moved in with Disney Channel star Raven-Symone. "This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay." "Both of you are beautiful women. Both of you are young and have your own individual styles," Anderson said, before asking how they would compromise on decorating the home. He then asked Lohan, "What gentlemen will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?" "No one. I don't have a boyfriend," Lohan said. Anderson replied, "She's single, but looking!" Lohan quickly clarified, "I'm illegal, for people that are old." "Some men like them young. We ain't gonna mention no names, but I'm one of them," Anderson responded, which garnered a laugh from the crowd. Later on in the interview, Anderson makes a play on Lohan's movie, "Freaky Friday," which was released on DVD the same day as the interview. "Right now, we're about to get our freak on," Anderson said before scooting closer to Lohan on the couch and the interview cut to a commercial. Lohan put her hands over her mouth in the resurfaced clip. The interview resurfaced as Lohan is gearing up for the premiere of the sequel, "Freakier Friday," which debuts in theaters on Aug. 8.

Can YOU spot the face? This photo of two girls has a third person hidden in it - so, can you see them?
From 'The Dress' to colour-changing fire trucks, there is no shortage of baffling optical illusions out there on the internet. But this latest illusion might just be one of the strangest yet. Dr Dean Jackson, a biologist and BBC presenter, has shared an unusual image on TikTok that contains a terrifying hidden face. In the viral clip, Dr Jackson shows a seemingly normal photo of two girls sitting in a field. However, he soon reveals that there is a third person in the photo who most people won't be able to see. Dr Jackson says: 'There's a face staring back at you from that picture, but you know, only one in 10 people will see it holding their phone at the normal distance.' The sudden appearance of the extra individual has been too much for some commenters to handle, with one complaining that the illusion 'scared the living hell out of me'. So, can you see the third hidden person in this photo? This might look like a photo of two girls, but there is a third face hidden in the image that only one in 10 people will be able to see when looking at it on their phone If you can't see the hidden face at first, Dr Jackson has a method which can help you find it. He says: 'Prop your phone up against something, turn your back on your phone handset, walk away by five paces, now turn around and nine out of 10 people will now see the face staring back at them. 'Walk further away, like 10 paces, and now 95 per cent of people will see the face.' On TikTok, social media users rushed to the comment section to share their shock at how well this illusion worked. One commenter wrote: 'Once I saw it I cannot unsee it... not even from up close.' 'Looks like Michael Fassbender,' added another. Another chimed in: 'I could see where it was by the look of the jumper but couldn't see the face at normal distance. I moved the phone about 10cm from my normal holding position and boom, there it was.' For some people, even moving the phone wasn't enough to reveal the hidden figure, as one commenter asked, 'what face?'. However, some people managed to see the face right away or with only a few adjustments. 'I see it from normal distance alright, but it's not looking at me, instead it's looking up and right,' wrote one commenter. Another added: 'I just tilted by phone at arms length and it appeared.' While one commenter wrote: 'I'm viciously short sighted. I lowered my glasses and saw it immediately.' But for many TikTok users, finally finding the hidden figure was not a pleasant experience. One commenter asked: 'Is it only me who got jumpscared?' 'Don't scare me like the geez,' added one frightened commenter. One frightened commenter complained that they had been 'jumpscared' when the face suddenly popped into view What is pareidolia? Pareidolia is the tendency to see meaningful patterns in otherwise random information. Face pareidolia is a specific version of this in which people see faces in inanimate objects. Our brains have evolved to be excellent at detecting faces amongst the random data of the world around us. Often our brains will assume a face is present even if there isn't one to avoid missing any potential friends or foes. When faced with confusing or random patterns, this means we will often see faces looking out at us. While the effect might be spooky, there is nothing supernatural about this mysterious hidden figure. When faced with the mess of raw data coming from our eyes, the brain turns this noisy, dynamic information into patterns and objects that we can understand. The brain gets this right most of the time, but sometimes certain predispositions cause errors which disturb our perceptions. One common type of error is a phenomenon called face pareidolia, which is the tendency to see faces in otherwise random information. Scientists believe that our brains are evolutionarily hardwired to be excellent at detecting faces because it helped us recognise friends and spot potential threats. The problem is that our brains tend to err on the side of caution and tell us there are faces in visual information even when there are none. Professor Kevin Brooks, a psychologist at Macquarie University, previously told MailOnline: 'We tend to classify anything vaguely face-like as a face until proven otherwise – it's safer that way. 'Evolutionary psychologists speculate that we evolved this mechanism to help our survival, and increase our chances of passing on our genes, bringing forth another generation of people who are also good at face detection.' Scientists say that we often see faces where there are none due to a psychological phenomenon called face pareidolia. This is why we see human features in random structures like the skull that some people see in this island's sandbar So, when we are presented with some hard-to-interpret information like a picture seen from far away, our minds often jump to put a face over that data. That's why the face in this image becomes easier to see when you squint or step away from the phone. Being able to see these faces more easily or seeing faces more often doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with you. People with strong beliefs in paranormal or spiritual phenomena often have higher sensitivity to pareidolia, but this isn't a sign of any underlying psychological conditions. Psychological issues only emerge when someone has difficulty understanding that those perceptions aren't reality. WHAT IS THE CAFÉ WALL OPTICAL ILLUSION? The café wall optical illusion was first described by Richard Gregory, professor of neuropsychology at the University of Bristol, in 1979. When alternating columns of dark and light tiles are placed out of line vertically, they can create the illusion that the rows of horizontal lines taper at one end. The effect depends on the presence of a visible line of gray mortar between the tiles. The illusion was first observed when a member of Professor Gregory's lab noticed an unusual visual effect created by the tiling pattern on the wall of a café at the bottom of St Michael's Hill in Bristol. The café, close to the university, was tiled with alternate rows of offset black and white tiles, with visible mortar lines in between. Diagonal lines are perceived because of the way neurons in the brain interact. Different types of neurons react to the perception of dark and light colours, and because of the placement of the dark and light tiles, different parts of the grout lines are dimmed or brightened in the retina. Where there is a brightness contrast across the grout line, a small scale asymmetry occurs whereby half the dark and light tiles move toward each other forming small wedges. The café wall optical illusion was first described by Richard Gregory, professor of neuropsychology at the University of Bristol, in 1979. The unusual visual effect was noticed in the tiling pattern on the wall of a nearby café. Both are shown in this image These little wedges are then integrated into long wedges with the brain interpreting the grout line as a sloping line. Professor Gregory's findings surrounding the café wall illusion were first published in a 1979 edition of the journal Perception. The café wall illusion has helped neuropsychologists study the way in which visual information is processed by the brain. The illusion has also been used in graphic design and art applications, as well as architectural applications. The effect is also known as the Munsterberg illusion, as it was previously reported in 1897 by Hugo Munsterberg who referred to it as the 'shifted chequerboard figure.' It has also been called the 'illusion of kindergarten patterns', because it was often seen in the weaving of kindergarten students.

I caught the Coldplay cheats on camera - here's how much money I've really made from the viral clip and my biggest regret about posting it
The woman who caught the notorious Coldplay 'cheats' on camera has revealed all behind the viral clip. Grace Springer, 28, happened to be filming the crowd at Boston's Gillette Stadium the moment Andrew Byron and Kirstin Cabot appeared on screen. When they realised, the pair soon recoiled and moved away from one another. Andrew, who was the head of AI startup Astronomer, jumped out of the way, while Kirstin quickly covered her shocked face. Singer Chris Martin 's quip drew even more attention to the startled couple when he said: 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' The clip went viral online and amassed millions of views, and Grace shared her side of the story on Monday's episode of This Morning to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. The clip went viral online and amassed millions of views, and Grace shared her side of the story on Monday's episode of This Morning to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary 'I was hoping to see myself on the big screen and I love to capture moments so that's why my phone was out in the first place,' Grace explained. However, at first she didn't realise quite what she had caught on her camera. She added: 'In the moment when I filmed it I didn't think much of it but everyone was kind of chattering. 'There was over 50,000 people at the concert so it was a hot topic. 'But it wasn't until after the concert that I was debriefing the moment with my friends and said, 'let's review the footage, let's see if it really looks that bad'. And I think it does.' The Mail previously reported that public records suggest both Andy Byron and Kirstin Cabot are married - but that they live at different addresses to those listed as their spouses. Dermot asked Grace, 'Would you have posted it again looking back? Do you feel guilty at all?' She admitted: 'I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process but as I said there was over 50,000 people and I'm not the only one that caught it on camera so if it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would've.' The clip has been viewed by some 120million people and Grace shared she didn't think it would attract so much attention. 'I never would have imagined that this would have happened, had I have known? Maybe I would've thought twice,' she said. Alison asked: 'What was the reaction in the actual stadium? Was everyone talking about that moment? What was it like?' Grace said: 'It definitely caught everyone's attention, especially because Chris made the announcement kind of questioning their reaction but after that, I'm not sure if you're too familiar with Coldplay but their concerts are magical so at least for me, I moved on pretty quickly and enjoyed the rest of the night.' Dermot clarified that Grace had not made any money through the TikTok creator fund with the video and isn't part of the scheme. 'I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views, it's not monetised,' Grace added. Dermot read a comment from Astronomer on the show: 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently that standard was not met. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' The Daily Mail previously approached Byron, Cabot and Astronomer for comment. It has since emerged that the company the pair work for provides generative AI software to a number of major companies including Uber, Ford and LinkedIn. Byron heaped praise on Cabot in a November 2024 post about her appointment to the firm. 'Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,' he said in a press release. 'She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.' Byron became CEO of Astronomer in 2023, and the startup rapidly grew under his tenure including a reported 292% growth in revenue for its 'Astro' platform that year.

Kim Kardashian Revisits Claims She Forgot Daughter North West in Paris: 'I Didn't Forget Her'
The SKIMS mogul re-addressed the viral Paris clip from 2014, when she was seen exiting a building solo, only to turn back moments later and return with her then 1-year-old daughter. Kim Kardashian is not here for the mom-shaming. The SKIMS mogul is finally revisiting that viral Paris clip from 2014, when she was seen exiting a building solo, only to turn back moments later and return with her daughter North West. The brief separation sparked tons of internet gossip over the years, accusing Kim of forgetting her own child. Fast forward to 2025, and Kim is setting the record straight once and for all. Posting to her Instagram Story over the weekend, the mom of four reshared the now-infamous video, along with a very fitting caption for the reality star. "I wanted to show the look off before holding her bc her outfit didn't match mine! I didn't forget her!!!!" Kim, who shares North with ex, Kanye West, clarified to her 356 million Instagram followers. While the latest explanation centers around outfit coordination, it slightly contradicts her original 2014 defense on X (then Twitter), where she insisted: "I went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue." According to the Los Angeles Times, Kim clowned the critics for thinking she would leave a "1 year old" behind in a hotel lobby all by herself, adding: "Oh wait she was waiting to check out lol." North, meanwhile, is doing just fine these days, with the proud mom marking her first-born's 12th birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram last month, complete with 12 photos from throughout her daughter's life. "My little baby North turns 12 years old today," Kim wrote. "We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small." She continued, calling motherhood her "most special calling," and showing major love to the "musician" her daughter is quickly becoming. And North is doing exactly that. The preteen recently appeared in FKA Twigs' "Childlike Things" music video and voiced a character alongside her mom in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. North is also reportedly working on her debut project, Elementary School Dropout, inspired by her dad's iconic 2004 album, College Dropout. She's even on track to surpass her famous family, with Kim revealing back in February that [North] "generated 22 billion impressions and over $1 billion in advertising, media…" "North, you're not gonna take me down," she joked at the time. "She has 18% more popularity than all of her family members." See more of the Kardashian kids in the gallery below. Solve the daily Crossword

You are now free to move about the cabin. The singing, however …
On one hand, I get it. For I, too, was once a child full of song. Some might even say overflowing. So when my TikTok feed offered me the viral clip of Delta Girl, or Moana Girl, or whatever nickname we've settled on, six days out from the incident — i.e. young girl delivers an unsolicited intercom performance of 'How Far I'll Go' to passengers on delayed plane — I found myself circling the proverbial emotional airport. It was, objectively, precious.
