Caption this photo of Jesse Jackson and his new BFF Justin Bieber

http://twitter.com/#!/thepoetmo/status/527661776964714496

Now this is a strange pairing. It seems America’s most hated Canadian*, Justin Bieber, took in a Knicks game at New York City’s Madison Square Garden last night with the iconic civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson. What are they talking about?

Over to you Twitchy readers. How would you caption this photo? Let us know in the comments!

* Not scientific, but probably accurate.

“Harry Potter” Star Matthew Lewis Wants To Do A Neville Longbottom Spin-Off

Lewis told Radio Times he’d “jump at the chance” to bring Neville back.

1. Matthew Lewis is currently defusing bombs in BBC Three’s new show Bluestone 42.

BBC

2. But the Harry Potter heartthrob told Radio Times that if he’d got the call, he’d love to play Neville Longbottom in his very own film series.

Warner Bros.

 

3. Lewis shared with Radio Times:


If it came to it that I was offered that sort of deal — I want to say I’d consider it — but I’d probably jump at the chance, absolutely. I’m not itching, just yet, but I’d absolutely, definitely consider it, and love to be considered for it.

4. Lewis went on to say that he had bumped into Emma Watson recently, and chatting to his co-star made him realise how much he missed Harry Potter.

Warner Bros.

5. Neville is definitely the most underrated character — he’s incredibly humble, loyal, and arguably the bravest of them all. Remember when Ron said this?

Warner Bros.

6. By “people”, do you mean the fucking Dark Lord, RON?

Warner Bros.

7. And remember, there is every possibility that Neville is The Chosen One, not Harry. Here’s Dumbledore explaining the prophecy in The Order of the Phoenix:


‘The odd thing is, Harry,’ he said softly, ‘that it may not have meant you at all. Sybil’s prophecy could have applied to two wizard boys, born at the end of July that year, both of whom had parents in the Order of the Phoenix, both sets of parents having narrowly escaped Voldemort three times. One, of course was you. The other was Neville Longbottom.

8. BOOM, there you have it: Neville Longbottom, The Other Chosen One. Spin-off, here we come.

Warner Bros.
  1. So, do you think Neville deserves his own spin-off film series?
    1. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
    2. Stand down, Neville.

29 Signs You’re No Longer A Rookie Parent

Been there, done that.

1. Your baby bag no longer looks like the Goodyear blimp.

And now you actually remember to pack diapers!

2. When you choose to stay up late it’s with the full knowledge that you’ll be a zombie the next day.

AMC

But hey, sometimes your mental health requires a little binge watching of TV shows without talking animals.

3. You no longer poke your sleeping baby to see if they’re breathing.

That doesn’t mean you don’t lean in REAL close and listen.

4. You no longer freak out when your kid falls down.

Fox

You’re like, “You’re okay.” (sips coffee)

5. You turn your phone on guided access before you let your kids play with it.

RIP deleted apps.

6. You no longer have a “Level 10” breakdown when you have to cut your baby’s nails.

WB

Now it’s like level 6 or 7… because that shit’s still nervewracking.

7. You started a profile for your kid on Netflix.

This way Netflix can suggest My Little Pony to your kid, and Jennifer Lawrence movies to you.

8. When your kid asks to go into a toy store “Only to look,” you just laugh.

Lol, kid.

9. You’ve developed “Spidey sense” for when your kids are getting into trouble.

Things are quiet. Too quiet.

10. You don’t get embarrassed easily anymore.

ABC

“What’s that? I’m wearing sweatpants in public with spit-up on them? So I am.”

11. You don’t tell your kid about plans until right before they happen.

Digital Vision / Via ThinkStock

This way you avoid nuclear meltdowns caused by statements like, “I know I said we were going to Frozen On Ice, but I’m afraid it’s sold out.”

12. You know better than to leave a drink within arm’s reach of your little one.

Stephen VanHorn / Via shutterstock.com

They’ve got Go Go Gadget arms, these kids.

13. When you say it’s time to go and your kids whine you’re like:

Lifetime

14. You wipe snot off your kid’s nose without a second thought, and have probably even used the Nose Frida.

Literally sucking the snot out of your kid’s nose? That ain’t no rookie move.

15. Changing a diaper — even a nasty one — is NBD.

Now you can get up in the middle of a meal, change the rankest of diapers, then sit back down and keep eating without missing a beat.

16. When it comes to kid’s clothes, you value functionality (not to mention affordability) over all else.

A $70 kid’s shirt that is hand wash only? No thanks, Gwyneth.

17. You don’t get poached on doll clothes either.

You know the “American Girl” knock-off clothes at Target are super cute and your kid can’t tell the difference. (Yet another reason to love Target.)

18. You don’t like to brag, but when it comes to peekaboo you’re basically a rock star.

ABC Family

Do babies laugh when you play peekaboo? Does the earth circle the sun?

19. You know all of the children’s characters by their name.

You even know “Doc” McStuffins’ first name is “Dottie.”

20. You’re an expert on children’s books, too, and know which ones to suggest when you don’t have much time.

Harper Collins

When your show starts in five minutes: “We’re reading Goodnight Moon!”

21. Speaking of books, your funny voices are on point.

You even crack yourself up, TBH.

22. You can brush someone else’s teeth just as well as your own.

Fox

It doesn’t even matter if your kid is squirming like a toad.

23. You have the “parent tone” down cold.

Getty Images Stockbyte

24. And the “parent look.”

CBS

Your kids better not play with you.

25. Your arms are shockingly strong.

Fox

Your “guns” may not look like a bodybuilder’s, but over the course of a day you lift way more pounds (in kids) than they do.

26. You can sleep in any position.

Flickr: mliu92 / Via Creative Commons

You can even sleep with a toddler foot in your face.

27. When your kids say they don’t like the dinner you made it’s no longer the gut punch it used to be.

NBC

28. Other parents have started to ask YOU for advice.

New Line Cinema

At first you were like, “You don’t want to ask me,” but then you realized you know your stuff.

29. Lastly, you have more confidence as a parent than you ever dreamed possible.

Disney

You’ve got this.

Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar arrested for allegedly beating daughter, fans say she probably deserved it

http://twitter.com/#!/cthagod/status/211155955906387970

Creflo Dollar is a pastor living a lavish lifestyle the majority in his profession can only dream about. Private jets, fancy cars, luxurious homes, etc. As founder of the World Changers Church International, no one can argue he’s done quite well for himself.  He’s been investigated numerous times, and the Senate has even asked for detailed accounting statements, but up to this moment, he remained untouchable.

That status changed when he was arrested on battery charges in Fayette County.

PASTOR DID WHAT?! Megachurch Leader Creflo Dollar ARRESTED For Allegedly CHOKING & PUNCHING 15-Year-Old DAUGHTER! http://t.co/ZgM8nz0S

— YBF CHIC (@TheYBF) June 8, 2012

Megachurch pastor who preaches "prosperity theology" also, it turns out, punches his 15 year old daughter. http://t.co/YGCBmU3t

— David Roberts (@drgrist) June 8, 2012

The Associated Press reports that the megachurch pastor was picked up in the early hours of the morning after police responded to a call of domestic violence.

The 50-year old pastor and father was arguing with his daughter about whether or not she was allowed to attend a party, which lead to a physical altercation. Dollar’s daughter was said to have had “superficial injuries.”

This is definitely the kind of event that can change your mind about someone, especially a person of suggested grounded morals like Dollar has stated he is.

SMH at Creflo Dollar you ain't got to choke the girl to get to listen…..

Creflo Dollar and Chris Brown in the same anger management class, while Rihanna and Creflo Dollar's daughter see the same shrink.

Creflo Dollar choked his 15 year old daughter. His tv sermon won't be on anymore.

— Chris™ (@_chrismaldonado) June 8, 2012

Creflo Dollar has seen his fair share of support, however. There have been plenty of folks on Twitter who, while not even knowing the details of the alleged charges, have suggested his daughter deserved what she got.

I'm praying for pastors & Creflo Dollar…we from the old school remember those kind of whippings…it's a new day & kids git cell phones 🙂

Creflo Dollar has since been released on bail, and whatever happened, he believes that what he did was a righteous act:

Once you believe that you are righteous, you will begin do what is righteous. –Creflo Dollar #CaseDismissed
