Showing scads of secondhand swagger in his music video 'Thift Shop,' rapper Macklemore burst onto the pop culture scene in a big way this past year. The vid has scored more than 300 million views on YouTube, and has been blasted all across the country.

In the Brat Pack classic 'Pretty in Pink' a girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Molly Ringwald) has to chose between the rich but good-hearted Blane (Andrew McCarthy) or her geeky long-time buddy Duckie (Jon Cryer). It's a bonafide 80s classic. See what the cast of 'Pretty in Pink' is up to 27 years after one of their biggest movies hit theaters.

Jay-Z, or Shawn Carter to his family and friends, is a 17-time Grammy winning recording artist, a businessman with an almost $500 million net worth and the husband of Beyonce. And, if that wasn't enough, Jay-Z has the ability to travel through time.

In 1996, the beloved Roald Dahl children's novel 'Matilda' was adapted into a movie directed by Danny DeVito. The film starred Mara Wilson, one of biggest child stars of the '90s, and quickly became a cult classic.

It's a sad day when your TV show gets cancelled, unless you're 'Friends' star Matthew Perry. His recent -- and well-received -- series 'Go On' is sadly getting the boot. Surely congratulations are not in order...or so we thought.

'Labyrinth' was a bit of a flop when it was released in 1986. But the Jim Henson-directed fantasy film has had a second life, thanks to VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, and has become a cult classic among kids old enough not to be afraid of goblins. As testament to its belated success, primary human stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly have both commented on how often they are still recognized by children

Presumably, Nancy Grace has some fans. The prosecutor turned talking head pundit has been hosting high profile shows for almost 20 years, after all. But, for the most part, she's somebody everybody loves to hate. And Grace certainly gave the public another reason to ridicule her during a segment she did with Ashleigh Banfield.

God bless the folks at Gosloving, for sharing these Vines of Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal with the world (they have more). They are so absurd. However, because they feature Ryan Gosling, they are also delightful. Our favorite is probably the one where he smacks the spoon onto the floor. Just like a kid would do! But it's not a kid, it's Ryan Gosling. Sigh.

These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than "stars without makeup" photos. They aren't just celebrities without makeup -- they're celebrities without stylists, personal chefs or trainers, or expensive clothes. We call it 'Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.'

Director Baz Luhrmann's splashy modernization of the William Shakespeare classic 'Romeo and Juliet' was a hit with critics and tweens alike in 1996. Besides being visually stunning, 'William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet' featured a few of today's brightest stars before they had hit it big. See what the cast is up to these days below.

Do you ever ask yourself "wouldn't every movie be better if it starred Jackée?" Well, stop asking yourself stupid questions. Of course every movie would be better if it starred Jackée. Need proof? Check out these posters featuring the beloved star of '227' in tons of movie vehicles so you don't even have to use your imagination to understand how glorious it would be.

The 1985 black comedy 'Better Off Dead' tells the tale of a high school student (John Cusack) who falls into a deep depression after his girlfriend dumps him. The film got good reviews, performed decently at the box office and has become a cult classic, thanks to its quirky characters and memorable one-liners ("Two dollars!") One person who doesn't like the film is Cusack. He reportedly

'Fight Club' was more controversial than successful when it came out in 1999. But David Fincher's gritty and highly stylized film adaptation of novelist Chuck Palahniuk's meditation on consumerism and masculinity has only gained in stature since its release and is now considered to be a modern day screen classic. See what the cast of 'Fight Club' is up to these days.

Times are tough, people. Even the heroes of our past are in desperate need for some spare change. While Harrison Ford went on to become one of the world's biggest actors, his 'Star Wars' wingman was left high and dry, which is why everyone's favorite Wookie is getting a job.
