Woman Stunned After Bringing Date Back To Her Place Only For Him To Bizarrely Insult Her Over A Candle
It seems like the whole point of dating would be to go out and have a good time, make a good impression, and hopefully meet someone that we want to continue to spend time with in a more meaningful way.
But it seems like there are some people out there who just use dating as an excuse to insult other people, namely their dates.
TikToker Cheyenne Stone, who has been chronicling personal healing, living alone, and being single in her 30s, periodically shares a video that she calls "dating lore," with an interesting story that occurred during a date.
In a recent dating lore video, Stone reflected on the time she'd been on a few dates with a guy and had reached the point of being comfortable enough with him to show him her home for the first time.
They went into her apartment together and sat down on the couch, and he began to comment on her various trinkets and possessions.
He asked about a pink, glittery candle she had on her coffee table, and she described it, saying:
"One of my best friends, Maddie, got it for me for my 30th birthday. She knows me so well."
"It's pink. It's sparkly. It just makes my day brighter."
Instead of agreeing that it was nice or moving on to the next subject, her date decided to spin this into an insult:
"He said, 'It's really pathetic that you have so many things displayed throughout your apartment that are from your 30th birthday. Wasn't that, like, a year ago?"
The TikToker was offended and shot back:
"Oh, well, sir, then you definitely don't wanna meet my childhood teddy bear, who I've had since 1997, my third birthday, who lives in my bedroom. Who sits on my pillow. You are never going to get to see that. You will never walk into that room and meet him."

Fellow TikTokers were baffled by the man's behavior.













Perhaps this guy had some weird vendetta against the color pink, glitter, or general sentimentality, and he could not keep up appearances any longer.
More than likely, though, he wasn't used to seeing someone receive thoughtful gifts that were so meaningful to them that they still wanted to display those things approximately a year after receiving them.
Instead of being happy for her and imagining having that himself, which would have been a green flag, he flipped the script instead and made it a problem about her rather than a problem that he seemed to have, which is definitely not worth putting up with.

MAGA Senator Faces Backlash For Dodging Question About High Beef Prices—And People Are Having A Cow
Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is facing backlash after dodging a question about high beef prices amid the nationwide affordability crisis and telling WLOX news viewers that they have "so many proteins to choose from."
Last month, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, and when Hyde-Smith was asked about what her party plans to do to bring prices down, she stressed that the "Big Beautiful Bill," passed last year, would play a significant role in the effort.
She gave the following rambling answer that did not once address concerns about the high price of beef—dodging the question and downplaying concerns by insisting that there are other food options available:
“There are so many things in there. Just the child tax credits... that will affect 40 million families. There are all the reduction to make the cuts permanent. It is so many opportunities there that once they go into play, just with getting your tax refund in 2026 is going to be bigger."
"And once we can get those things implemented, you’re going to see a difference, but right now, you know... the cost of fuel. Everything in this place at one time was on a truck. So, anytime you go to purchase anything, if you’re going to build anything, the price of fuel affects everything."
"So, with that being down... With the Gulf of America right out our door right here, beautiful Gulf Coast, no permitting, no drilling for four years. So, now that we can undo some of those cumbersome things that restricted energy production, you’re even going to see that in a more significant way, but it is on everybody’s mind. You know, it certainly is me at my house."
Then the kicker:
"And you know, you have so many proteins to choose from, and all commodities go through peaks and valleys. You know, it is a global market, but we will be seeing a difference I truly believe. Because of so many things: The tax cuts, people being hired, jobs created.”
You can hear what she said in the video below.
Hyde-Smith's remarks are quite something considering it’s conservatives who claim Democrats want to "take their burgers away"—even going so far as to claim that the Biden administration was looking to limit Americans' red meat consumption.
The claim traces back to a 2020 academic study from the University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems, which modeled what environmental outcomes might look like if Americans voluntarily reduced their beef intake to about four pounds annually. The paper did not propose any mandate; it simply explored a hypothetical scenario.
Despite that, the idea quickly spiraled into political misinformation. The Daily Mail published an early report suggesting Biden’s climate agenda could force Americans to adopt such a diet.
Commentators on Fox News echoed the claim on air, often without verification, and Republican politicians soon amplified it further, helping transform a speculative academic exercise into a widely circulated falsehood.
Hyde-Smith was called out for hypocrisy.
Are we really surprised that this is coming from the party that happily reported on the rise of consumers turning to Hamburger Helper for meals even though that's a sign that the economy is in a very bad place?
The aforementioned Brooke Rollins was also criticized for saying Americans should "reconsider what they're eating," suggesting it "can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing."
No word on what that is but we're guessing it's definitely not beef.
Jamie Lee Curtis Pens Poignant Tribute To 'First Love' Robert Carradine After His Tragic Death
Jamie Lee Curtis is remembering her “first love.”
The Oscar winner took to Instagram on Tuesday to mourn Robert Carradine, the beloved character actor best known for portraying Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds and Sam McGuire in Lizzie McGuire. He was 71.
Curtis opened her tribute with the news that changed her morning:
"I woke up to the news that Robert Carradine died.”
She later revealed that actor Melanie Griffith, who starred alongside Carradine in 1977’s Joyride, was the one who told her he had passed.
Curtis, 67, reflected on how their story began decades ago during a live appearance on The Dinah Shore Show. Both came from famous Hollywood families—Carradine was the son of John Carradine and Sonia Sorel, while Curtis is the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh—but their first meeting felt straight out of a movie.
Curtis recalled their unforgettable introduction on live television:
"Bobby and I came on last, and Bobby rearranged where we were all sitting so that he could sit next to me, and he kissed me, live on television. A very public meet-cute."
Their romance eventually ended, but their bond did not. Curtis shared that they remained friends through the years, even as their lives moved in different directions. Carradine later appeared in the 1980 Western The Long Riders alongside Curtis’ future husband, Christopher Guest, whom she married in 1984.
She also remembered the quieter moments, particularly those involving Carradine’s daughter, Ever.
She shared a tender memory from their Laurel Canyon days:
"I remember walking with Ever to the little Canyon market and bringing our laundry down to the laundromat below and folding her little clothes for the first time and the simplicity and beauty of Laurel Canyon in the late 70s."
Carradine had three children: daughter Ever with Susan Snyder, and Marika and Ian with his wife, Edith Mani. Curtis also revealed that Carradine had unknowingly been her first on-screen crush years before they ever met.
She remembered the moment she realized he had once been her childhood crush:
"One day I remember the sun hitting his face and me turning and looking at him and saying 'Wait, were you in the movie The Cowboys? Were you Slim?' He was my first crush in the movies and I didn't realize it."
Carradine starred opposite John Wayne in 1972’s The Cowboys, portraying Slim Honeycutt, one of the young ranch hands hired to help drive cattle across the country. The coming-of-age Western marked one of his earliest film roles and introduced him to audiences long before Revenge of the Nerds made him a household name.
Curtis closed her tribute with a final farewell that reflected decades of shared history:
"We ... remained friends after we broke up, and Ever and I have as well. The long and winding road. Rest in speed and humor and love, Bobby."
You can view her entire post below:
Carradine died Monday. His brother, Keith Carradine, confirmed to USA TODAY on February 24 that the actor died by suicide. His family later released a statement to Deadline, acknowledging his nearly two-decade struggle with bipolar disorder.
Carradine’s family addressed his long battle with mental illness in a statement:
"We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby's valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with Bipolar Disorder. We hope his journey can shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness."
Tributes quickly poured in across social media, as friends, collaborators, and longtime fans reflected on Carradine’s warmth and lasting impact.
You can view the reactions below:












Carradine later found a new generation of fans as Sam McGuire in Lizzie McGuire, reprising the role in the 2003 film and the canceled 2020 reboot. Hilary Duff, who played his on-screen daughter in the Disney Channel series, was among those who shared a heartfelt tribute.
She honored the man who played her TV dad:
"There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents. I'll be forever grateful for that. I'm deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him , his family, and everyone who loved him."
You can view her post here:
Carradine’s real-life daughter, Ever Carradine—known for her roles in The Handmaid’s Tale, Runaways, and Commander in Chief—also reflected on the childhood they shared in Laurel Canyon.
Ever wrote:
"Growing up in the 70s and 80 with a single dad in Laurel Canyon is not exactly the recipe for a grounded childhood, but somehow mine was. Whenever anyone asks me how I turned out so normal, I always tell them it’s because of my dad."
You can view her post below:
From first love to lifelong friendship, Curtis’ tribute captured the through line of Carradine’s life—one defined by humor, heart, and an enduring bond with those who knew him best.
Fans Are Being Reminded Of How Much Tragedy Martin Short Has Experienced After The Death Of His Daughter
There's a saying that the funniest people among us are typically the ones who have suffered the greatest losses or who struggle the most with their mental health, and Martin Short is unfortunately no exception.
While we've all experienced losses, Martin Short has suffered too much loss for one person, starting from a young age.
By the time he was 20, Short had lost his mother to cancer, his father after a series of strokes, and his brother to a terrible car accident.
Though they did not "work" romantically and remained friends instead, Short later lost his first love, Gilda Radner, who was by then married to his friend Gene Wilder, to ovarian cancer.
Short went on to marry the love of his life, Nancy Dolman. They were married for nearly 30 years and adopted three children, Katherine, Oliver, and Henry, before Nancy passed away in 2010, also from ovarian cancer.
Short and his children struggled to process this loss when their close family friend, who was like a rock for Short to lean on, Nora Ephron, passed just two years after Nancy in 2012.
Since 2012, Short has lost a series of friends to health and mental health reasons, including Diane Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Rob Reiner, and others.
Now, it's been confirmed that Short's daughter, Katherine Short, has died by suicide at the age of 42.
Katherine Short was a long-time social worker who worked at a psychiatry-led outpatient clinic after studying at New York University and the University of Southern California.
She was also involved in the nonprofit organization Bring Change 2 Mind, which works to destigmatize mental health struggles and encourages more open talk about mental health in our communities and media.
With the news of Katherine Short's passing, Redditors on the "Fauxmoi" subReddit couldn't help but grieve on Short's behalf for all that he's endured in his lifetime.
"He has endured so much tragedy. Parents and one brother dead by the time he was 20, wife passed from cancer, close with the Reiners, who just died, like a brother to Catherine O'Hara, who just passed. Now this."
"And he seems like such a nice person, too. Life can be incredibly unfair." - XcuseMeMisISpeakJive
"His first love was Gilda Radner, and she was also taken from the world far too early. My heart breaks for him. That is so much loss to endure in a lifetime." - SleepyBee90
"God. He was close to Diane Keeton, too, and Robin Williams." - annabelleoftheball
"I genuinely gasped. I always remember how he spoke about his wife, and now this... I don't know him, and I don't worship celebrities, but he genuinely seems like a good person. Even if he isn't, I am so, so sorry for his loss. I can't even begin to fathom what he's going through." - arca9mom
"This is heartbreaking. Short has had so much loss. His brother, parents at a young age, Gilda, his wife, John Candy, Reiner, O’Hara, and so many others."
"I am so sad for him and his family. He is an actor I have always liked and is a decent human being. A lovely Canadian man. His memoir is a must-read/listen." - bittermp
"D**n, man. Martin Short seems like a delightful guy. I'm so sad for him." - secret_identity_too
"He’s so warm and wonderful and adored, I’m sure he’s surrounded by love and support. But that’s his kid, there’s literally nothing worse, and there’s nothing that can help."
"I bet all the many people who adore him feel utterly helpless. But we know he has them, lining up to be there. And I’m glad for that." - ratstronaut
"He always has a smile on his face and is always trying to lighten the mood in every room he's in. I can't imagine what pain might be behind that smile and humor." - mochi_matcha17
"Losing his daughter like this is so incredibly sad on top of everything else. I hope he and his family are surrounded with love and support." - Curiosities
"I remember when he was on Howard Stern and asked about his wife's passing. He compared it to still being able to fly an airplane, but minus a wing."
"That analogy always stuck with me. I can't imagine the loss of a child on top of that (and along with multiple tragedies otherwise personally with family and friends). My thoughts are with him and all the Short family." - Perry7609
We've all been through hard times, but it feels like Short has been dealt an especially tragic hand.
Hopefully, he is being supported by loved ones right now while processing the terrible loss of his daughter.

Flavor Flav Extends Vegas Party To All U.S. Female Olympic Medal Winners After Trump Diss—And We Love To See It
Rap icon and TV personality Flavor Flav is really outdoing himself at the game of being a stand-up guy, especially where female Olympians are concerned!
Flav was one of the first celebrities to speak out after Donald Trump's disgusting sexist comments about the U.S. women's hockey team while congratulation the men's team on their gold medal.
The women's team declined Trump's invitation to the White House following his comments, in which he mocked the team and jokingly asked the men's team's forgiveness for having to invite them along.
In response, Flav rounded up a huge list of corporate sponsors to throw the women's team a huge celebration. And now, he's extending the bash to ALL female medalists.
Flav is no stranger to sticking up for female athletes. During the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, he offered to fund the U.S. women's water polo team after they went viral for discussing just how hard it is for them to afford to attend the games.
Then, when U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles was stripped of her bronze medal due to rather silly technicality, Flav had a special commemorative necklace made for Chiles to replace the medal.
His gesture this year just may be the biggest one yet. After Trump's comments went viral for, as usual, all the wrong reasons, Flav immediately stepped in and began lining up huge corporate sponsorships for a big bash.
He posted on X:
"If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas."
"Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real."
Airlines, hotels, and beauty brands all quickly joined in to help Flav fete the insulted women's hockey players.
Now, it seems the largesse is at such a huge level that he's expanding it well beyond just the hockey team.
In several social media posts, Flav announced that every female medalist from this year's Milano Cortina Winter Olympics was officially invited to party like a rock star in Vegas.
In a post on Threads, Flav wrote:
"Cuz this wasn’t big enough,,, I wanna invite ALL the female Olympic and Paralympic medalists from the United States out to Vegas and we got you covered,, we gonna do some nice dinners, throw a big party and a parade and a concert,,, and go to some concerts and shows."
"Thankx to all the companies and brands and musicians and entertainers who reached out. We gonna celebrate and show em SHE GOT GAME,!!"
You can rest assured this celebration will be much better than the embarrassing McDonald's buffet Trump threw for the men's hockey players.
Anyway, on social media, people have been cheering Flav non-stop for his generosity and for giving female Olympians and Paralympians the celebration they deserve.
And since Flav made the announcement on Instagram, brands and celebrities are STILL pouring in offering their support, products, and funding to make this the most epic Olympics celebration ever.
Everyone from former boy band members Lance Bass and AJ McLean, to Vegas burlesque icon Dita Von Teese, to sports arenas and drinks companies have thrown their hat into the celebratory ring.






The Mayor of Las Vegas himself is even planning to get in on the action to celebrate the winning women.

And to think, the U.S. men's hockey team could have had all this instead of having to sit and watch our President cram stale Big Macs into his orange gob, if they'd only had the decency to not laugh along with his sexist nonsense.
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way, eh fellas? Hope those cold McChickens were worth it.
