STAFFING UP. Hillary Clinton hires HUD Secretary Julian Castro’s speechwriter: “‘I don’t know if people should read anything into it for VP consideration though I think they will anyway,’ said Democratic strategist Maria Cardona.”

ONE DIRECTION. Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan hug it out on the soccer field, inspiring slash fiction writers everywhere.

WINTER IS COMING. Kristin Chenoweth sings along to the Game of Thrones theme.

RAPE. Father of Stanford swimmer sentenced to only 6 months prison for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at a frat party spurs outrage with this comment: “That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.”

T-MOBILE. The cell phone carrier is giving away a bunch of free things: “The first set involves a free app, T-Mobile Tuesdays, which will initially give customers a free medium two-topping Domino’s pizza, a small Wendy’s Frosty, a $5.50 credit for a Vudu digital movie rental, and a ticket to the movie Warcraft, with other similar giveaways to follow each Tuesday. On June 14, the giveaway will be a $15 Lyft ride. On June 21, it’s a $20 MLB gift card. On June 28, nab a 1-year subscription to Bon Appetit magazine.”

NEANDERTHALS. Inbreeding between ancient hominids and non-African humans left modern humans with a genetic burden.

READING ROOM. Elizabeth Warren drags Donald Trump.

PRIDE. Why Pride still matters: “There are countless instances of gay, bi, and especially trans people being harassed, intimidated, assaulted and killed. There is absolutely, unquestionably, and heartbreakingly still a prevalent and virulent miasma of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia around the country and the world. It can be very difficult to feel pride in the face of it.”

RIP. Playwright Peter Shaffer (Equus, Amadeus) has died at 90: “He had won Tony Awards for both Amadeus and Equus, which was later revived with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe in his West End lead debut. National Theatre director Rufus Norris described him as ‘one of the great writers of his generation.’”

PRIMARY. President Obama is eager to endorse Hillary Clinton and begin the general election fight against Donald Trump: “The White House is in active conversations with Mrs. Clinton’s campaign about how and where the president would be useful to her, according to senior aides to Mr. Obama. Advisers say the president, who sees a Democratic successor as critical to his legacy, is impatient to begin campaigning. They say he is taking nothing for granted.”

90s NOSTALGIA. Linda Lohan took a trip down memory lane.

CAN’T LET GO. Nick Cannon can’t seem to bring himself to sign the divorce papers with Mariah Carey. 

YOUTUBE. 28 people were injured after hysteria ensued when a popular YouTuber took his shirt off at his concert: When the 16-year-old twins [Grayson and Ethan Dolan] showed up to their event at iPlay America in Freehold, New Jersey (‘New Jersey’s premier indoor theme park’) the crowd of mostly 11-to-15-year-old girls rushed toward the stage, causing a slew of injuries and seven hospitalizations….Based on a fan video from the concert, it seems that one of the twins’ abs may have been a culprit in the pandemonium.”

What To Watch On TV This Week: Season Premieres For ‘UnREAL,’ ‘I Am Jazz’

What To Watch On TV This Week: Season Premieres For ‘UnREAL,’ ‘I Am Jazz’

TV this week includes the return of I Am Jazz

Check out our weekly guide to TV this week, and make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.

— The typical procedural cop drama gets a surrealist twist in Angie Tribeca. Starring Parks and Recreation- and The Office-alum Rashida Jones as the titular LAPD vet, working the Really Heinous Crimes Unit. The second season premieres tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on TBS.

— If you prefer your procedural to be delivered a bit more straight-faced, tune in to the seventh and final season of Rizzoli & Isles, premiering tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on TNT. Maybe straight-faced isn’t the best term, given the show’s hot cops, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, have the most lesbian appeal since Cagney & Lacey.

— There’s even more drama behind the camera on UnREAL, returning for a second season tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern on Lifetime. The show takes a peek behind the scenes at a fictional reality dating show in the same vein as The Bachelor.

— One of the youngest faces of the transgender tipping point, Jazz Jennings, is in the spotlight for the second season of her TLC docuseries, I am Jazz. Catch the premiere Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern on TLC.

— Bring on Brienne! The Lady doth protect too much, but where will her allegiances lie when she arrives at Riverrun to support the Blackfish and meets up with her old buddy Jaime Lannister? Find out on Game of Thrones Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern on HBO.

This Kinda Creepy Ad Imagines What Your Nads Do When They’re Happy – WATCH

This Kinda Creepy Ad Imagines What Your Nads Do When They’re Happy – WATCH

nads

To be filed under “strange male advertising” is a video ad from company “Nadkins” which imagines what your ‘nads’ might do to show they are happy.

In the video, men go about their daily business while their balls whistle and dance in their pants to express gratitude to their master (owner?) for having been kept clean and happy with Nadkins, towelettes for ‘down there.’ The company describes the product as “male jewels refresher towelettes.”

More from AdAge: 

The 46-second video shows certain parts of the male anatomy, attached to men from all walks of life, dancing a happy dance to Col. Bogey’s March — the whistling theme from “The Bridge Over the River Kwai.” Tagline: “When they’re happy, you’re happy.”

Watch, below.
