Ellen DeGeneres Secretly Films Portia De Rossi Doing A Jane Fonda Workout Video

Ellen DeGeneres Secretly Films Portia De Rossi Doing A Jane Fonda Workout Video
Guests on her talk show aren’t the only ones who fall victim to Ellen DeGeneres’ pranks. Recently, DeGeneres tricked her own wife, actress Portia de Rossi, by secretly filming her as she followed along with Jane Fonda’s exercise video.

Of course, DeGeneres couldn’t keep the hilarious video to herself. When Fonda stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in December, the talk show host explained to the legendary actress how she stealthily captured the footage on a Saturday afternoon at home:

“Portia’s sitting doing a jigsaw puzzle, and I said, ‘I’m gonna pop [the Jane Fonda workout video] in, I wanna see this because I want to be able to talk about it. So she got up from the jigsaw puzzle she was doing, and I took the phone out, and started recording her.”

And now we’re getting a workout from laughing so hard.

Madhu Kinnar Elected India's First Transgender Mayor

Madhu Kinnar Elected India's First Transgender Mayor

Screen Shot 2015-01-04 at 3.54.00 PMTransgender Independent-Mayoral Candidate Madhu Kinnar has won the mayoral election of Chhattisgarh’s Raigarh Municipal Corporation by 4,537 votes against Bharatiya Janata Party member Mahaveer Guruji reports NDTV. Kinnar, a 35-year-old trans woman belonging to the Dalit community, is the first transgender person to elected as mayor of an Indian city.

Kinnar issued a statement regarding her historic win:

“People have shown faith in me. I consider this win as love and blessings of people for me. I’ll put in my best efforts to accomplish their dreams.”

“I only spent Rs. 60,000-70,000 from my earnings during my . It was the public support that encouraged me to enter the poll fray for the first time and because of their support only, I emerged as the winner.”

Kinnar, whose birth name is Naresh Chauhan, studied up to eighth standard and spent most of her life in different works including collecting money from dancing and singing on trains in her youth.

The Advocate adds:

However, not everyone is celebrating Kinnar’s history-making win. “There was no Modi wave in Raigarh this time. People of Raigarh were fed up with the corruption of BJP, hence they voted for Madhu. It is not Madhu Kinnar’s victory, but it’s a loss of BJP,” Raigarh district Congress (urban) president Narendra Negi said.

Nevertheless, Kinnar’s opposition will not contest the outcome. “We accept the decision of people and we will review it,” said BJP district president Rajesh Sharma.

Last April, the Indian Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling recognizing transgender people as a third gender.

Ricky Martin Is Not Dead As Singer Responds To Death Hoax In The Best Way Possible

Ricky Martin Is Not Dead As Singer Responds To Death Hoax In The Best Way Possible
If Ricky Martin is dead, he’s sending out some awesome photos of the afterlife.

Martin took to Instagram on Sunday to send out pics of #heaven after a YouTube video claimed to show images from an auto wreck in which the 43-year-old Grammy-winning singer was supposedly killed.

Hello from #heaven.

If there is a heaven, it’s not unreasonable to expect that it might look something like this. However, the Washington Post reports that the beach image may be from Culebra, Puerto Rico rather than any otherworldly shores.

Martin later sent out a second image from his #heaven:

#Sunset in #heaven

The video claiming Martin had died was obviously a hoax. It said the report came from the sheriff’s department in Marin County, north of San Francisco, but that the singer had died on a freeway in Los Angeles some 400 miles away. In addition, the supposed video of the wreck is from another country, with cars bearing a different type of license plate and driving on the opposite side of the road.

However, some fans fell for the hoax and took to social media to express their anguish and share the video.

Martin shot to fame as a member of Puerto Rican boy band Menudo in the 1980s and then as a groundbreaking solo artist with crossover hits such as “Livin’ la Vida Loca” and “Shake Your Bon-Bon.”

His newest album, “A Quien Quiere Escuchar,” will be released next month.
