But it’s been six years since It’s Complicated, so a new Meyers joint is—to many—reason to rejoice. Mostly because, ahhhhhhhh oh my god more beautiful kitchens, but also because, ahhhhhhh oh my god more Nancy Meyers interviews!

She has since been fired from the gig.

Someone on the internet invented a tool called Paint With Donald Trump, which allows anyone (even you) to make little paintings with Trump’s face in different expressions. Many people probably chose to write their name or a funny message. Here is all the stuff we made:

Back in 2003, when the invasion of Iraq had just begun and NO ONE knew how the Harry Potter books would end, MTV bestowed a terrible gift upon a very desperate world. Newlyweds—one of the first reality shows to follow celebrities rather than normies—hit the airwaves, allowing us all a precious look inside pop stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s marriage.

The Iran deal is looking more and more like an inevitability, but that didn’t stop the accord’s opponents from gathering in Washington to protest on Wednesday.
