If you've never seen 'Despicable Me', take it from us-- you need to, if only to fall in love with the adorableness that are the minions.

With July 4th coming up, a lot of us are getting in the patriotic spirit with firework GIFs and festive food. But you know what? Celebrating 'merica doesn't only have to happen once every July. These people are showing off their patriotism year round!

Chris Brown, well-known for being such a classy guy, is now sporting a rather large neck tattoo of a lady's face.

A female fan has tattooed the face of Daniel Tosh -- the stand-up comedian and host of 'Tosh 2.0' -- on her ass. Don't believe it? She even had video cameras in the studio while she was getting tatted.

It seems inevitable that one day man and phone will become one. At some point in the future, we will make calls by thinking about the person we want to talk to and then listen to their voice through a chip in our ear. But is that future closer than we think?

Kristen Bell has some fun with her clean cut image in a 'Funny or Die' clip in which she reveals that she actually has 223 tattoos, and because of this she requires about fourteen hours in make-up before performing her duties as a seemingly ink-less actress. Who knew Veronica Mars was such a wild girl?

There's nothing wrong with an inspirational tattoo, but a spelling error can mean a lifetime of regret and ridicule. A Huffington Post reader recently submitted a photo of himself which shows brand-new ink that should have read "Believe and Achieve." However, it's missing several letters in crucial places.
