Melissa McCarthy Was The Golden Globes MVP For Sneaking In Ham Sandwiches For Hungry Celebs π
She may not have been stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but when it comes to feeding the masses, Melissa McCarthy is still somewhat of a Robin Hood.
McCarthy, who is best known for her standout roles in Bridesmaids, Gilmore Girls and Ghostbusters, helped more than a few starving artists when she smuggled 40 ham sandwiches into the Golden Globes.
It is said many of Hollywood's finest find themselves with growling stomachs by the time the long award show is over. Dinner is served before the broadcast goes live to cut down on the clanging of dishes and silverware. Maybe this is why we see so many celebs heading over to In-N-Out for a late night snack.
Well, this year, the food came to them, thanks to the MIke and Molly star.
Twitter was loving it.

Twitter Is In Love With This Grandmother's 'Most Beautiful Girl In The World' Moment πβ€οΈ
The internet is realizing we have much to learn from our elders and one Twitter user is sharing that lesson.

This 96-Year-Old Veteran's Take On Popular 'Flossing' Dance Move Has Everyone Grooving
Chuck Franzke knows the key to staying young is to keep his dancing shoes on. At 96-years-old this WWII veteran isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Must be those smooth dance moves.
Franzke has become a bit of an internet sensation by showing off his current dance moves just in time for his birthday. The tradition started three years ago when the organization The Stars and Stripes Honor Flight posted his first birthday dance video. The organization is responsible for flying vets to Washington D.C to.visit war memorials.
This year Franzke decided to switch things up by "flossing" after he saw a video on YouTube. He tells Inside Edition:
"I was doing the Floss.I saw it on the internet. I did the same dance twice before and decided to branch out a little bit. "Many years, I Jitterbugged in the 30s and 40s."

Naomi Campbell Stuns In Instagram Photo Revealing Her Natural Hair
As surprising as it may seem, supermodel Naomi Campbell announced her first ever beauty campaign this month. Campbell is now the face of NARS Cosmetics.
Campbell told Independent.ie in 2017 that even after 30 years in the business she still experienced racism and colorism within the beauty industry, saying:
"I've never done one for anyone. People say, 'Oh, you've got beautiful skin', and yet I've never done one."
When asked by the reporter why this was the case, Campbell replied with a look that implied:
"You know why."
But now she is celebrating her contract with a gorgeous photo posted to her Instagram and Twitter accounts.
In the photo Campbell isn't wearing one of her signature wigs and instead is opting for natural braids.
She captioned the photo:
"Bare it all. ππ½ done in Kenya π°πͺ #NAOMIAFRICA"
Campbell's fans love her "bare" look.

Man Dubbed 'Hallway Harry' Berates Black Man Who He Doesn't Believe Lives In His Building
Add "Hallway Harry" to the ranks of white people who take it upon themselves to police the activities of Black people going about their regular lives, along with "BBQ Becky," "Permit Patty" and "Cornerstore Caroline."
This latest viral video shows Chika Okafor, a sports producer at the Bleacher Report, in the lobby of his apartment building in New York City waiting with a friend for a Lyft ride. The two were headed to a holiday party for Okafor's company when an unidentified white man approached, asking what they were doing in the building and which unit Okafor lived in.
While his friend filmed the encounter, Okafor told the man nicknamed "Hallway Harry" he had lived in the building for over a year. The man responded:
"I've never seen you before. I've lived here 27 years."
Okafor, who maintained his composure during the exchange, posted the following to Twitter.

Apparently, the man wasn't done patrolling the halls. A woman named Janah Reynolds had a run in with the same man, who refused to allow her into the building.
Reynolds commented on Okafor's Facebook post:
Reynolds, who is white, explained that the man had an issue with them temporarily renting a unit through Airbnb. After calling the police numerous time and waiting for over an hour to no avail, the man eventually let them in.
Many folks on Twitter felt the man was out of line for policing the building.

Okafor, who sublets the apartment, told the New York Times what he found most upsetting:
"I felt insulted. I felt violated. To me, his behavior suggested that, one, because we were people of color we were a threat to their safety, and, two, because we are people of color we can't afford to live in that type of apartment complex. It's the Upper East Side. It's considered to be one of the wealthy parts of Manhattan. It's a nice apartment."
Some people thought the man wasn't necessarily racist but simply annoying for everyone in the building.
