The house where fictional serial killer Buffalo Bill lived in the 1991 Oscar winning movie The Silence of the Lambs has been on the market since last summer when it was listed for $300,000. The owners, Scott & Barbara Lloyd, have just reduced the price on the three-story Victorian style home near Perryopolis, PA, which is about an hours drive from Pittsburgh, to $250,000. Even though the house was the second most clicked home on Realtor.com last year, it hasn’t sold possibly because of it’s location. OR the fact that there is only ONE bathroom for all four bedrooms and three stories of the the house! Erik Gunther, a senior editor and expert on unique homes for Realtor.com said:
Even though it’s got notoriety, location still is a big deal. The fact that a home gets a ton of publicity doesn’t necessarily add up to a quick sale. Just because I want to gawk at something doesn’t mean I want to buy it.

The foyer (where the Lloyd’s were married in 1977) and the dining room were seen in the film, but there is no creepy dungeon with a well to keep your victims just where you want them in the home.
The Humane Society of Utah had the BEST idea when trying to find forever homes for the many dogs in their shelter! The dogs were put in a photo booth and the results are the cutest thing I’ve seen all week! I think my favorite is the bassett hound. Guinnevere Shuster is the photographer behind the doggy photo booth which was SUCH a big success that ALL of these dogs were adopted out!
Teen Wolf/Desperate Housewives/The Leftovers cutie patootie Charlie Carver, one half of the WORLD FAMOUS Carver Twins, recently came out of the closet in a series of moving Instagram tweets:
“As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be an actor,” Carver wrote. “I also knew, however abstractly, that I was different from some of the other boys in my grade. Over time, this abstract ‘knowing’ grew and articulated itself through a painful gestation marked by feelings of despair and alienation, ending in a climax of saying three words out loud: ‘I am gay.’”
While Carver came out to family and friends some time ago, he said that because of his Hollywood career, “my relationship to my sexuality soon became more complicated.” He added, “I wanted to believe in a world where one’s sexuality was for the most part irrelevant. … Furthermore, as an actor, I believed that my responsibility to the craft and the business was to remain benevolently neutral — I was a canvas, a chameleon, the next character.”
And yet, Carver said, “I now believe that by omitting this part of myself from the record, I am complicit in perpetuating the suffering, fear, and shame cast upon so many in the world. … So now, let the record show this — I self-identify as gay. And does that really matter anymore? As a young man, I needed a young man in Hollywood to say that — and without being a d‑‑‑ about it, I owe it to myself, more than anything, to be who I needed when I was younger.” (via EW)
I’m so excited to know I finally have a chance with him!

Donald “Chip” Pugh is wanted in Lima, OH for vandalism, arson, and failure to appear, so the Lima Police Department shared his mugshot on their social media in case anyone knew his whereabouts. You aren’t going to believe how dumb this guy is.
The 45 year-old Pugh then sent them a selfie and said:
Here is a better photo that one is terrible.
Pugh then called a local radio station to complain about the mugshot and said he looked like Thundercat. What a dumbass! I’m not sure how he sent the message. It looks like he texted someone with it, but now you’re just pissing the police off! If you can send a selfie, you can turn yourself in. Has he seen Making a Murderer? Fortunately it looks like the Lima Police Department finally got their guy.
Thanks to the power of social media & tips called into authorities, we have learned that Donald Chip Pugh has been…

A new year brings all sorts of NEW ways of seeing yourself, reinventing yourself, and above all, what kind of person you want to BECOME in 2016. Here are my top 5 life hacks for tricking your friends into thinking you have your shit together.

If you’re like me, after work, my mental capacity for scripted television is pretty bleak. (I like to Netflix-binge on weekends when my brain can handle a plot line). So I turn to Kitchen Kween and life coach Ina Garten.

One way to trick your friends into thinking you’ve got your shit together is (dinner parties) putting liquids in tiny jars. Think about flour, EVOO, balsamic vinegar, pasta, your jar-stuffing ability is limitless!

4) READ SOME SMART SHIT
Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.
You don’t even have to read them, but stash your Seventeen mags under your bed and stack some smart shit (like Good Magazine, Dwell, Foreign Policy, Bust, etc) on your coffee table. Just be prepared to wikipedia whatever your friend says when they bring up anything, like, political at the dinner table, so you don’t blow your cover.

But whoever said growing up is easy is one big fat liar. If growing up were easy, working out would be too. Unfortunately, the genetic betrayal that is our destiny will soon find it’s way into your astral body and even just the act of PURCHASING a gym membership will make your friends think you have your life in order. Most gyms are doing package deals for the new year, so grab the Rhoda to your Mary and sign up. Even if you go once a week, you’re like ninety-five percent above being the average garbage couch potato person.

The number one way (and cheapest) in tricking your friends into thinking your shit is on point is drinking mineral water. Have you ever seen your mom and her friends drinking Saratoga or Pelligrino?

Yes, that’s because they have their shit together! Carrying one of these around with you while strutting your stuff on your daily walk to the office will immediately command power and that you’re like, really on top of this thing called, “Life.”

Angie Bowie, David Bowie’s wife from 1970 to 1980, is in the Celebrity Big Brother house across the pond, so she had no idea David Bowie had passed away until Big Brother broke the news to her.
Angie broke down in tears after learning of David Bowie’s passing saying, “I haven’t seen him in so many years I can’t make a big drama about it… but I feel an era has ended, it’s so very sad.” Later while being consoled by housemates David Gest (Liza’s ex) and John Partridge (British soap star), Angie said, “The stardust is gone.”
Nutty Atlanta queen Nina Bonina Brown came to the Transformation studio to showcase her talent for rendering 2-D cartoon images onto faces. It’s pretty amazing. She gave me a Minnie Mou…. um, “lady mouse” makeover (don’t wan’t anger the Disney gods!) that’s one of my all-time favorite looks. Watch it below!
I loved the looks, the songs, and the sounds, but I think above all I loved the poetry… Here’s my top 30 lyrics…

The water wall is calling, it lingers, and you forget

President Barack Obama will deliver his final State of the Union address tonight, January 12th, 2016 at 9 PM EST. To celebrate, CNN senior reporter Chris Moody and producer Alex Rosen have made a video that reimagines the event as a quirky Wes Anderson film. Watch below. (via The Laughing Squid)
While each president adds his own unique contributions and personal touches to the annual rite, the event embraces familiar styles, tones and traditions that give it a signature look: The pomp of the procession to the U.S. Capitol building, the Sergeant at Arms’ shout across the House chamber announcing the President’s arrival, the flood of partisan applause and the opposition party’s response.
These consistent attributes of the speech — including the familiar faces who take part each year, the decor of the historic Capitol building and the ongoing clash of old traditions with new technologies — make it a prime setting to borrow a few tricks from filmmaker Wes Anderson, to whom the video above pays grateful homage.

Two employees from a Forrest City, AR Waffle House were fired after customers filmed them fixing their hair in the kitchen. If you’ve ever had a delicious meal from Waffle House, you know that the kitchen is visible from anywhere in the restaurant. One of the employees was filmed putting her long braids in a pot full of water. When she takes her hair out of the pot, her co-worker wrapped it in a towel.
The video was shot by customer Antonio Robinson who said:
I just got out my phone and I just started to record. I just thought it was nasty and I needed to let somebody see this.
Antonio said the friend he was eating with found a hair in his food. He said:
He was just coughing. Cough. Cough. Making noises like that. I looked up at him. He went to pulling out strings of hair out his mouth.
The manager at the Waffle House said the two employees were terminated, and the Arkansas Health Department found no violations at the Forrest City location.
The amazing fashion designer Bobby Abley(who typically has a penchant for Disney-inspired looks) debuted his London menswear collection earlier this week. And because it’s about time for her arrival, two of the looks on display were pretty sickening nods to pop goddess Christina Aguilera.
The first was a menswear sweatsuit sporting the words “I <3 XTINA,” while the other was a skirt and super cute cropped sweatshirt with a reference to the iconic jam “Dirrty.” Both looks earned Christina’s seal of approval when she reposted this photo with the caption: “Oh heyyy @bobbyabley !! Love it! Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.Xo.”

During an episode of her podcast “Anna Faris Is Unqualified,” the bubbly House Bunny star asked her guest, Aubrey Plaza: “Have you seen my husband’s balls?”
Aubrey said no, she could not recall ever seeing them.
“You would remember, because they are some sexy balls,” Anna then said. “They’re perfect. They’re incredible.”
Good to know, Anna. Thanks for the image that is now indelibly seared in my mind. And… good for you, Chris!

Self-described “smother mother” Marieke Voorsluijs knit a life-size version of her son because he didn’t want to cuddle with her anymore.
My son is reaching puberty. We used to cuddle all the time, but those days are becoming scarce. Now he rather hangs with friends, plays with his phone and listens to his ipod. Exactly according to nature’s plan. I am a good mother, so of course i accept this and i am happy he is a healthy kid.
We laugh a lot about the stretching gap between his needs and mine. Him needing more of his own space and my covert needs to keep on smotering him with maternal love. I am a textiles designer and he often helps me and has great creative ideas. So we started to fantasize how we could visualize this puberty gap. So i suggested to make a cuddly version of him!
Check out the pics of her new son in various posesbelow. (And no, her son is not inside the knit costume, it’s a stand-alone stuffed boy. See the last photo of the knit son with her REAL son.)
Here at the WOW Report, we’re big fans of Nico Tortorella. (Receipts: See this post by James St. James from 2013 that detailed his creepy-amazing-hot bisexual threesome on The Following.) So you could imagine our astonishment when we came across these expertly crafted GIFs of the hunky actor courtesy of Logo. Feast your eyes.
