There are worries about the upcoming Han Solo movie. The directors were fired well into production, Disney was so concerned about Alden Ehrenreich's early performance that an acting coach was brought in and the first trailer wasn't released until months before the scheduled premiere. Couple that with the divisive nature of “The Last Jedi,” Star Wars fans are fighting visions of Jar Jar Binks.
But, even in the scenario that the movie bombs, we'll always have this fan-made “Solo” trailer, beautifully dubbed to Beastie Boys' “Sabotage.”
I know trailers, particularly fake ones, aren't eligible for Academy Awards. But, really, what's the point of handing out Oscars if this can't grab gold?
“Solo” comes out on Memorial Day. Unfortunately for the film, I don't know if anything can live up to this trailer's hype.

Britain’s KFCs are running out of fried chicken and customers keep calling the police for some reason
Gareth Fuller – PA ImagesA closed sign outside a KFC restaurant near Ashford, Kent, as the fast food outlet has been forced to close a raft of stores after a new delivery contract with DHL resulted in chicken shortages across the country. If news of the fried chicken “crisis” of 2018 hasn't reached you, thank your lucky stars. It probably means you live in a country where the KFCs are still fully stocked. Phew! Your life can go on like normal!

However, UK residents haven't been as fortunate this week. According to the Washington Post, hundreds of British KFCs had to shut down after problems with a new delivery partner. Thankfully, as of Wednesday, the issue is on its way to being resolved, because no one should be deprived of his/her basic human rights or those delicious 11 herbs and spices. Anyway, here's a humorous tweet from the company addressing the situation:

Bill Gates has no idea what things cost
Bill Gates seems like a nice guy. He's mild-mannered, extremely philanthropic, a voracious reader and big into Settlers of Catan. Basically, just like Ben Wyatt, only if Ben Wyatt was worth $91 billion. Unfortunately, even nice guys can be out of touch with reality, evidenced in the video below.
In an appearance on the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Wednesday morning, the Microsoft co-founder partook in a simple bit: guessing the cost of ordinary grocery items. In principle, a pitch that sounds utterly stupid. But in practice, boy, did it deliver:
I have no idea what type of pizza rolls Bill Gates consumes, but I'm guessing they're not worth $22. Social media is having a field day with Gates', ahem, performance, yet other tycoons would likely share these struggles. In fact, I'm all in favor of making this a segment for future presidential debates. Forget your stances on trade policies or the economy; I want a leader who feels my pain at the price of free-range chic..
Yes, Jack Nicklaus has his own new line of socks with his 1986 Masters pose on them
If you're Jack Nicklaus—one of the biggest legends in golf history—you have enough clout to extend your brand to any number of business opportunities, which Nicklaus has done since 1962. That has included merchandise and products of varying shapes and sizes. Now, apparently, socks fall within this realm.
The 14-time major champion has given us everything from wine to apparel, golf balls and golf clubs back in the day, and even ice cream to indulge in.
Now, you can add Golden Bear socks next to the golden toes in your drawer.

This guy is going around pulling off fantastic — and tasty — trick “shots” with marshmallows
Jordan Spieth pulled off a nifty marshmallow trick shot ahead of the 2016 AT&T Byron Nelson, popping one of these fluffy pieces of goodness in the air and catching it in his mouth. But the three-time major champ has nothing on some dude named Mike Regan in this area. At least in terms of catching marshmallows.

Most of Regan's Instagram feed is dedicated to various trick “shots” with marshmallows. The treats are delivered in different methods and settings, but they always wind up in the mouth of Regan, who often wears a “Fat & Proud” shirt. This one involving a friend teeing up a marshmallow first caught our attention:

Dramatic, unlikely, historic Olympic gold medal for Team USA in women’s cross-country skiing
Matthias HangstPYEONGCHANG-GUN, SOUTH KOREA – FEBRUARY 21: Jessica Diggins of the United States (14-2) stretches across the finish line to win gold ahead of Stina Nilsson of Sweden (12-2) during the Cross Country Ladies' Team Sprint Free Final on day 12 of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Alpensia Cross-Country Centre on February 21, 2018 in Pyeongchang-gun, South Korea. (Photo by Matthias Hangst/Getty Images)In what has been overall a humbling Olympics for Team USA, a gold medal came from an unlikely place: The cross-country ski team. The duo of Kikkan Randall and Jessie Diggins won the team sprint in a dramatic, lunging finish over Sweden to secure the first Olympic gold for American cross-country skiing ever and the first American Olympic medal in 42 years.
If you follow cross-country skiing (unlikely), you know the hype for the women’s team coming into these Olympics was real. If you don’t follow cross-country skiing (likely), you just need to trust that after a mo..
Watch the brutal compilation of all of Marv Albert and Reggie Miller’s mistakes from the All-Star Game
Kevork DjansezianAfter witnessing the appalling intro to Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center, most viewers likely did one of two things: A. Turned it off, or B. Scrolled Twitter and watched everyone tear Fergie and Kevin Hart apart limb by limb. In other words, if you did happen to keep the game on as background noise, you probably weren't closely paying attention to the game's broadcast with Marv Albert, Reggie Miller and Chris Webber.
Luckily for all of us with the inability to focus on two things at once, one astute observer had his ears perked up throughout the game, and heard enough mistakes from Albert and Miller to create a YouTube compilation video out of it. The five minutes of “lowlights” he spliced together are pretty brutal to watch:
Plenty of nit picky stuff here, for sure. But man, there's also some painfully bad gaffes and screw ups that make you immediately Google Marv Albert's age, which is 76, so we should cut the guy some s..
Why an Olympic bronze medalist is usually happier than whoever won silver
Editor's Note: This story first appeared during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but in the wake of Lindsey Vonn's bronze medal finish Tuesday in the 2018 Winter Games, it's worth revisiting.
When Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Matt Kuchar stepped to the podium on Sunday in Rio, all three were appropriately thrilled to medal in the first Olympic golf tournament in 112 years. Rose, who won gold, rightfully looked happiest of all. But if one were to study the expressions of Stenson and Kuchar, it was hard to tell who won silver and who won bronze. In many photos, in fact, it was the bronze medalist Kuchar who wore the wider smile.
FacebookPinterestGetty ImagesAs it happens, this is a fairly common dynamic. Several years ago, psychologists Victoria Medvec, Thomas Gilovich and Scott Madey used the Olympic podium as part of a study of “counterfactual thinking,” which describes the human tendency of focusing on what might have been as opposed to actually what is.
