14 Weird Celebrity Photos From The '00s And '10s
Some celebrity photos are iconic and others are so bizarre, they feel like they were generated by an AI robot with flair. I scavenged the internet to find some of the strangest, unhinged celebrity pics out there — and trust me, they did not disappoint. Here are 14 of the strangest celebrity photos that honestly feel made up (but aren't): Simon Cowell holding Hello Kitty toast backstage at the 2002 Teen Choice Awards. TV's crankiest talent judge holding a piece of toast with Hello Kitty's face on it is the crossover event we never expected. Pre-Transformers Megan Fox getting a caricature at the World of Disney Store opening. How 2004 of her. Jack Black taking a breezy bike ride to the Late Night with David Letterman show in 2005. In true Jack Black fashion, he rolled up in boxers and sandals, giving New York commuters the most unforgettable pre-show entrance ever. This photo of Zac Efron taking a hugeeee leap of faith during a 2006 High School Musical press event in Australia. The cast was posing together, but Zac? He took it to the next level—literally—by launching himself into the air. It's giving "Troy Bolton's final form." Noah Centineo this pose is, at the 2019 Midsommar screening. Justin Bieber holding a comically large tennis racket at the 2009 Arthur Ashe Kids Day. This is peak 2000s energy. Nicki Minaj eating a turkey leg while performing on Good Morning America in 2011. The bright outfit and the sheer power stance lives rent-free in our minds. Sharon Osbourne losing a tooth on live TV. During a 2020 episode of The Talk, Sharon's dental implant literally popped out mid-conversation. She laughed it off and kept going like it was just another day — iconic, unbothered, and just a little bit unhinged. Ariana Grande cementing her hands for her 2011 track "Put Your Hearts Up." Why Grande did this to promote her debut single, we'll never understand. But honestly, what's more random than casting your hands in cement for a bubblegum pop song you'll eventually disown? Will Ferrell casually holding a falcon. As part-owner for the Los Angeles Football Club, Will Ferrell participated in pre-game rituals by holding the team's falcon mascot in 2019. Just another day in the life. Steve Carell dressing as Gru on The Ellen Show in 2017. We all knew Steve Carell voiced the iconic villain in Despicable Me, but seeing him fully commit to the role with prosthetics and a bald cap? That's next-level dedication. Adam Sandler showing up to the 2025 Oscars in full dad attire is the kind of Academy Awards energy we didn't know we needed — and honestly? He's starting the "Adam Sandler Core" movement and we're so here for it. Miley Cyrus "posing" at Jingle Ball 2013 is We're not quite sure what, but we do know that the Bangerz era was truly unmatched for its peak chaos. Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian visiting an Australian children's hospital in 2006. The fact that there's almost no context to these pics online makes this trio feel all the more like a fever dream. So, did you find these photos just as random as I did? Have you seen some of these chaotic moments before, or did they unlock a new core memory? Let us know in the comments below! Anddddd as always, be sure to follow Buzzfeed on TikTok and Instagram for even more unhinged celeb content just like this!✨

Box Office: A Minecraft Movie approaches USD 950M, likely to miss billion mark but still leads 2025 Hollywood chart
A Minecraft Movie continues to leave a mark at the global box office, edging closer to the USD 950 million milestone. While it now appears unlikely to reach the coveted billion-dollar mark, the Jared Hess-directed video game adaptation remains the highest-grossing Hollywood release of 2025 so far. Based on Mojang Studios' massively popular sandbox game, A Minecraft Movie released in early April to mixed reviews but exceeded commercial expectations thanks to a robust reception from younger audiences. Despite a lukewarm 48 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a modest 5.7/10 rating on IMDb, the film received an 86 percent audience approval and generated buzz around sequences like the much-anticipated chicken jockey moment. Starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, the film has so far collected around USD 940 million worldwide, with USD 420 million from domestic markets and another USD 520 million internationally. The theatrical run began slowing down after Warner Bros pulled the film from over 1,300 US theaters to accommodate its more recent releases. Its recent availability on PVOD platforms has also impacted its box office momentum. Despite missing the million-dollar mark, A Minecraft Movie is a massive win for WB, as before this title, the studio was struggling with the underperformance of Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson and helmed by Bong Joon Ho. A Minecraft Movie now ranks among the top 70 highest-grossing films of all time globally and sits among the studio's 10 most successful theatrical endeavors ever. Had it crossed the billion-dollar threshold, it would have marked the second billion-dollar outing for both Black (The Super Mario Bros. Movie) and Momoa (Aquaman). Adding to its success, the film is slated for a physical media release on June 24, with Blu-ray, DVD, and a limited edition Steelbook version hitting the market. Bonus content includes featurettes like Building the World of Minecraft: Block Party and Block Beats, offering fans a deeper look into the film's production and soundtrack. Looking ahead, a sequel to A Minecraft Movie has been announced, with Warner Bros co-chairs recently confirming that plans for a follow-up are in motion, suggesting the studio is eager to turn the film into a franchise. A Minecraft Movie remains available in select theaters in the US and internationally for those interested.

‘A Minecraft Movie' Is Already Coming To Streaming On Max In June
The Jack Black and Jason Momoa blockbuster A Minecraft Movie is set to debut on streaming on Max in June. Based on the iconic Mojang video game Minecraft, A Minecraft Movie debuted in theaters on April 4. To date, the film has earned $417.8 million domestically and $512.7 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $930.5 million against a $150 production budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers. In addition to its big box office numbers, A Minecraft Movie spawned a TikTok craze during its theatrical release with the film's "Chicken Jockey" scene, which at times got out of hand in theaters where fans threw concessions and caused damage. Rated PG, A Minecraft Movie arrived on digital streaming on May 13 and will be released on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD with bonus features on June 24. Warner Bros. Discovery announced on Wednesday that A Minecraft Movie will arrive on Max in June, but did not indicate an exact release date. The title was a part of the list of new and catalog titles that Max (soon to be HBO Max) releases monthly. Currently, the June Max calendar only lists A Minecraft Movie as 'coming soon.' Streaming tracker When to Stream is estimating that A Minecraft Movie will arrive on Max on June 20, since that is the only date on the release schedule where a big premiere is not listed. When to Stream is typically accurate with its release date reports, but without Warner Bros.' announcement or confirmation of the actual date, the estimated date is just that. Max offers three subscription tiers. Viewers can get a basic tier with ads for $9.99 per month or an ad-free tier for $16.99 per month. A deluxe, ad-free tier with 4K Ultra HD programming is available for $20.99 per month. Per Warner Bros. Discovery's press release revealing Max's June 2025 streaming calendar, the official summary for A Minecraft Movie reads, 'Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits — Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) — find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. 'To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative … the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.' A Minecraft Movie is directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) from a screenplay by Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer and Neil Widener & Gavin James and Chris Galletta. Also starring Jennifer Coolidge, A Minecraft Movie is coming to Max in June with a specific release date yet to be announced.

10 SPF Lip Balms You'll Actually Like Reapplying
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. I have a confession: Despite religiously applying SPF on my face since I was a teenager, I rarely think about protecting my lips. It also felt like a hassle—wouldn't it just wear off every time I drank water or ate something? Recently, I've realized the fault in my ways. Yes, it comes off more frequently than my facial sunscreen, but I also have no problem reapplying my lipsticks and lip glosses. Plus, the skin on your lips is just as, if not more, vulnerable to sun damage. 'Chronic sun exposure can lead to a precancerous condition called actinic cheilitis. If skin cancers occur on the lips, they tend to be more aggressive,' says Dr. Allyson Brockman-Bitterman, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in Millburn, NJ. So, I commenced my search for the best lip balms with SPF. Thankfully, gone are the days of the strangely textured, awful-tasting lip balms with SPF. These days, many of them have sophisticated formulas infused with nourishing ingredients, like lanolin and shea butter. Plus, there are plenty of protective tinted lip balms if you want some color. All of this makes it easier to wear them every day, as recommended by Dr. Lauren Moy, a double-board-certified dermatologist and surgeon based in Beverly Hills. 'Daily is ideal to help prevent photoaging,' she says, but it's especially important to wear one during 'prolonged activities outdoors such as hiking, surfing, and sports.' With the help of our experts, thorough internet sleuthing, and personal trial-and-error, we've landed on some winners that you'll want to reapply. Check out the 10 best lip balms with SPF below. Tatcha's luxurious formulas have a large following, and it's not hard to see why. This lip tint provides SPF 25 protection and hydration, thanks to silk protein and lanolin. It also comes in three gorgeous shades: a soft berry, a subtle red, and a delicate coral. Active ingredients: Octisalate, zinc oxide Size: 0.14 oz. Tatcha rating: 4.9/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'In Korea, there's this category of lip products that women consider 'bare face lips'—in other words, lip products that work even when you don't have any other makeup on. This new launch from Japanese brand Tatcha is definitely flattering on me whether I'm wearing a full face or not. The shades just brighten up my complexion, and of course, the sun protection is a huge plus.' —Carol Lee, associate beauty e-commerce writer Jack Black may be geared toward men, but the formulas are too lovely to resist. One of the brand's hero products is its lip balm, which contains two kinds of SPF as well as a bevy of skin-softening ingredients. Its antioxidants also help to guard the skin against damage from the free radicals created by UV rays. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, octinoxate, petrolatum Size: 0.25 oz. Sephora rating: 4.7/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'Jack Black's lip balm is my favorite one to wear as I'm doing the rest of my makeup. A few swipes moisturize my lips quickly and prep them for whatever matte lipstick I want to apply that morning. But it's also become my go-to for my chronically dry lips on lazy, lipstick-free days.' —Carol Lee If you have sensitive skin, a mineral sunscreen like the zinc oxide this lip balm has is your safest bet. The formula stays water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which means you won't have to worry about sweat or humidity affecting its efficacy. Active ingredients: Octinoxate, zinc oxide Size: 0.28 oz. Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'My dermatologist recommended this as I have some precancerous spots on my bottom lip (he says that's the most common place for skin cancer!). I hate spf in lip balms because it has a horrible taste, but this has no gross aftertaste to it. It does have a bit of a white cast, but nothing too crazy.' Peptide lip treatments are all the rage these days, and this Colorscience lip treatment-gloss hybrid delivers plenty of peptides to plump lips while imparting high shine. Perfect for someone who wants sun protection but can't give up their gloss. Active ingredients: Zinc oxide Size: 0.13 fl. oz. Colorscience rating: 4.6/5 stars A Colorscience reviewer says: 'Love this SPF lip gloss. Super hydrating and the colors are awesome. Love rose and pink! The color definitely lasts long on your lips too!' This lip balm with SPF 'is super hydrating even though it's a stick,' says Dr. Brockman-Bitterman. It's no wonder the formula is bursting with shea butter and vitamins, which is basically an ideal salve for chapped lips. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene Size: 0.17 oz. Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars An Amazon reviewer says: 'This is the only chapstick I have ever used that doesn't feel like you need to reapply every five minutes to get it to work. Wish there was more in the tube, but worth it anyway.' Hidden in the aisles of your favorite drugstore is this lip-protecting superstar. This Neutrogena lip balm tints the lips without being too obvious, and it somehow moisturizes without feeling heavy. This pick is also designed to even texture with continuous use. Active ingredients: Octinoxate, oxybenzone Size: o.15 oz. An Amazon reviewer says: 'I used this lip balm many years ago and totally forgot about it until seeing it here. I find I like the darker colors more because they give a little more tint to my lips. And it smooths them out. Really glad I found this again. I now have different ones stashed everywhere.' Developed by dermatologists, MDSolarSciences' lip balm with SPF is a quintessential my-lips-but-better product. The shade range includes seven flattering hues, so there's sure to be one that strikes your fancy. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, octisalate, homosalate Size: 0.15 oz. MDSolarSciences rating: 4.8/5 stars An MDSolarSciences reviewer says: 'My lips are so sensitive to the sun, and this is the first SPF lip product I have tried that doesn't feel greasy and actually protects my lips from the sun. I got the shade Shimmer, and it looks so natural and pretty. The formula left my lips feeling so soft and hydrated. HIGHLY recommend!' This award-winning lip balm's main purpose is to supply broad-spectrum sun protection and does it well. While many complain about the disagreeable taste and slippery texture of some lip balms with SPF, this formula manages to sidestep those pitfalls. Active ingredients: Octocrylene, octisalate, avobenzone Paula's Choice rating: 4.4/5 stars A Paula's Choice reviewer says: 'So smooth and so creamy, love the sunscreen, stays on my lips for hours! Super shiny like I'm wearing a gloss. Totally in love with it!' If you enjoy the sweeter things in life, this SPF 30 pick might be the one for you. Inspired by the islands, it smells and tastes like delectable vanilla brown sugar. The newest shade, Nude Ting, is a nude pink you won't be able to keep off your lips. Be careful, your friends might beg for a swipe or two. Active ingredients: Avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate Size: 0.35 oz Sephora rating: 3.8/5 stars A Sephora reviewer says: 'I was a little worried about this product because usually, lip products with SPF give me a film and a bad taste. This lip gloss works like regular lip gloss—which is so relieving. There is a slight taste, but nothing too bad. I'll definitely be keeping it in my beach bag! (Smells nice, too.)' You don't have to sacrifice statement lip colors just because you care about your lip health. This Supergoop! lip balm has plenty of options on the brighter end of the spectrum, like a bold coral and a quintessential fuschia. Size: o.12 oz. Supergoop! rating: 4.5/5 stars A Supergoop! reviewer says: 'I love the pop of color while knowing I'm protecting my lips. Makes me feel glamorous on the beach.' Dr. Lauren Moy is a double board-certified dermatologist and surgeon based in Beverly Hills. Dr. Allyson Brockman-Bitterman is a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in Millburn, NJ. 'Lip SPF should be part of a daily routine,' says Dr. Brockman-Bitterman. As a rule, Dr. Moy recommends reapplying every one to two hours 'because we do so much with our mouths, like lick our lips, talk, eat, and drink.' According to Dr. Moy, there is no real difference between the two, other than the fact that tinted ones may be a tiny bit harder to remove. 'No matter if there is a tint or not, the numbered SPF is the most important factor,' she says. As a leading publisher of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty content, is committed to highlighting the best products in various categories by personally testing the latest and most innovative products, interviewing countless experts, and vetting customer-loved items. For this piece, beauty writer Carol Lee spoke with dermatologists about lip balms with SPF and tested a few herself. Lee also searched the internet for top-rated lip balms with SPF, perused reviews for dozens of popular options, and evaluated each on their features and customer reviews.

‘Minecraft' Finally Hits No. 1
The music of the Minecraft universe has become hugely popular in 2025, bolstered by the release of A Minecraft Movie. The family flick is already the second-highest-grossing film of the year, and its popularity at the box office has assured that all things related to the brand soar. The project also produced a hit song in "Steve's Lava Chicken," performed by Jack Black throughout the film. That tune seems to have reignited interest not only in Minecraft itself but also in the music associated with the game. This week, the excitement around A Minecraft Movie resulted in a major chart win. In the United Kingdom, Minecraft has now spawned a No. 1 album. The full-length Volume Alpha, taken not from the film, but the video game, rises one spot to reach the summit of the Official Soundtrack Albums chart for the first time. Last frame, the set, credited to electronic musician C418, reached a new peak of No. 2. It was held back by the Summer of Soul soundtrack, which was connected to the Oscar-winning documentary of the same name. That release now dips to tenth place. When it comes to albums, Volume Alpha is the only Minecraft-related project climbing the years-old set appears on two other tallies, but it falls on both, dropping by double-digit spaces on the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts. Meanwhile, Volume Beta, also by C418, dips three spaces to No. 19 on the Official Soundtrack Albums ranking, as it is clearly not enjoying the same success as its predecessor. The Minecraft movie soundtrack isn't found on the soundtracks-only tally, but it does land on the Official Compilations chart. It debuted at No. 19 on that roster last time around, and it now slides to No. 26. "Steve's Lava Chicken," the breakout hit from A Minecraft Movie, is also on the decline, though it remains a top 40 hit on four different charts across the Atlantic. The Black-performed tune stands strongest on the Official Singles roster — the all-encompassing ranking of the most-consumed songs in the nation — where it slips from No. 10 to No. 19 in its sixth frame on the list. It can also be found on the Official Streaming, Official Singles Sales, and Official Singles Downloads tallies, as it continues to perform well across all major consumption metrics.
