LOOK: This Is Not Your Typical Engagement Photo...

2013-05-23T20:28:19Z

Engagement photos have a reputation for being stuffy, posed and cheesy. But soon-to-be-married couple Howard Jiang and Dawn Yang set out to challenge that notion.

On Wednesday, Reddit user Kyle Stoldt posted his friends' engagement photo, taken last weekend in Shanghai, in which the bride-to-be is seen picking her fiancé's nose -- how charming! Check out the hilarious photo below:

Stoldt told HuffPost Weddings of the couple: "Howard is a giant teddy bear. He is one of those few friends you can consider a brother. He has one of those contagious laughs that will bring an entire room to a smile. Dawn is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She walks around all day with a smile that brings happiness to everyone she meets."

He continued, "Both of them have a child-like nature, constantly giggling, making them the best couple to be around."

Jiang and Yang are set to tie the knot next spring in Sonoma, Calif.

WATCH: Guy Hilariously Creeps People Out On Campus

2013-05-23T19:26:54Z

Walking up to a stranger on campus and holding their hand will catch the person off guard, and probably come off as creepy. However, if it's put on video, it turns out to be pretty funny.

One prankster from the "Whatever" comedy crew -- identified only as "Luke," on the group's Facebook page -- hit up the University of California-Santa Barbara campus and tried some random pranks. Stealing cell phones from strangers caused tempers to flare, as did staring at people. But Luke did get some laughs from a couple of his other stunts, including holding strangers' hands. And the faculty member who he told "I like your elbows" reacted about as well as anyone could be expected to in that situation.

The video released May 22 won the Whatever team and its YouTube channel $1,000 from Andrew Hales, who runs a YouTube channel called Losing All Hope Was Freedom.

If Luke looks familiar, you might remember seeing him dishing out pickup lines and asking random girls on campus to marry him.

Watch the video above.

Jay Leno Makes People Sad

2013-05-23T19:12:00Z

Maybe it's the comically sad music behind this so-bad-it's-good supercut that makes it so funny, but watching TV and movie characters be utterly depressed by Jay Leno is very entertaining.

PHOTO: Weiner Website Uses PITTSBURGH's Skyline, Not NYC's

2013-05-23T18:59:33Z

Anthony Weiner is running for mayor of New York City, but was that the Pittsburgh skyline in the background of his campaign website?

[SEE UPDATE BELOW]

Richard Lampasone was the first to catch the apparent snafu:

I love to be reminded of Pittsburgh every time I visit @anthonyweiner's website and see a huge image of it above the campaign logo
— Richard Lampasone (@rlampasone) May 22, 2013

And Michael Barbaro over at the New York Times tweeted out a side-by-side comparison:

Compare skylines for yourself: Weiner web page: anthonyweiner.comPittsburgh: bkdunn.com/blog/wp-conten…

As NBC New York notes, the photo appears to show the Roberto Clemente Bridge in Pittsburgh.

UPDATE! Weiner's campaign has changed the photo on the website:

Even Jason Sudeikis Doesn't Know If He's Leaving 'SNL'

2013-05-23T18:49:52Z

Even Jason Sudeikis doesn't know if he's leaving "Saturday Night Live."

During a visit to "The View" to promote his new movie "Epic," Sudeikis was pressed about his future with the show by Barbara Walters. He gave a non-answer, but Walters continued asking for a real answer.

"I sincerely don't know at this point," Sudeikis said.

Rumors flew that Sudeikis would leave "Saturday Night Live" at the end of this season with Bill Hader and Fred Armisen. So far only Hader's departure is confirmed. Seth Meyers will stay with the show through the fall before leaving to take over "Late Night" from Jimmy Fallon who is moving over to "The Tonight Show."

"The View" airs weekdays on ABC.

Tony Orlando, Yakov Smirnoff Wade Into State Politics

2013-05-23T18:45:14Z

Singer Tony Orlando and comedian Yakov Smirnoff have both endorsed a candidate for Arkansas state treasurer in next year's election.

As first reported by Politics1.com, Republican Dennis Milligan has unveiled videos on his website touting the support from Smirnoff and Orlando in his run for the state's top fiscal post. The endorsements came after Milligan, currently circuit clerk for Saline County, was introduced to the two minor celebrities by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckebee (R), who is the honorary chairman of Milligan's campaign.

"It was impromptu," Milligan told The Huffington Post about the videos he recorded with each man. "I talked to them about what I want to accomplish."

Orlando, a singer best known for his 1970s hit "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," said in his video that the Republican would be a "perfect state treasurer."

In his video, Smirnoff, a Ukrainian-born comedian popular in the 1980s who had a recurring role on the television show "Night Court," repeated his signature line, "What a country!"

"I love being here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I met a lot of wonderful people," Smirnoff said. "Dennis Milligan is running for state treasurer, and you can trust him with your rubles. What a country!”

This is not Orlando's first foray into GOP politics. He backed Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008 and danced with then-first lady Betty Ford at the Republican National Convention in 1976.

Milligan said he is proud to have endorsements from both men. He is playing up their backing on his website, including separate biographical pages for Orlando and Smirnoff, along with one touting his own record in Saline County.

So far, Milligan is the only announced candidate for the treasurer's office. The job is currently vacant following Republican Martha Shoffner's resignation on Monday after she was arrested on corruption charges. Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe (D) will name a new state treasurer to serve until Shoffner's term expires in January 2015; that individual cannot run in the 2014 election.

Milligan, a former state Republican Party chairman, told HuffPost that he wants to bring greater transparency to the treasurer's office, which invests state funds. He said that he expects Smirnoff and Orlando, who both live in nearby Branson, Mo., to be involved in the campaign going forward, including appearing at fundraisers.

"They can jump into the campaign at any given time," Milligan said.

Who Forgets THIS?!

2013-05-23T18:37:15Z

It's one thing to forget where you parked, but the owner of a Porsche apparently "forgot" his car entirely when he left it on a B.C. ferry and took the bus instead.

The owner was travelling from Swartz Bay to Tsawassen on the Spirit of Vancouver Island when he left his Porsche on the ferry's vehicle deck, The Times-Colonist reported.

The car delayed a sailing for over an hour as staff and police looked for the owner.

Delta police traced the owner's license plate and called his cellphone, B.C. Ferries spokesman Darin Guenette told The Times Colonist. “He said he forgot, and got the bus,” said Guenette.

When Delta police tried calling the owner back to arrange retrieval of the vehicle his phone was disconnected, Constable Ciaran Feenan told CBC News.

Police later discovered that the car was uninsured, so they towed it to an impound lot, Metro News Vancouver reported.

The Vancouver police are now handling the case.

Jennifer Aniston: Stripping Was 'Fun'

2013-05-23T17:27:40Z

Jennifer Aniston plays a stripper in her new movie "We're The Millers," but those looking forward to seeing the star take it all off are in for a serious disappointment.

The 44-year-old actress told "Chelsea Lately" host Chelsea Handler that she doesn't do full nudity in the film, and actually wore three bras on top of one another to cover herself up.

While she doesn't get completely naked, Aniston made sure to step up her work out routine in order to get ready for the racy role. The actress told "Extra" that she credits her super-toned body to her friend and yoga teacher Mandy Inger, and "doubled the amount" of yoga she normally does. "You get up into my age and you've gotta do a little bit more," she said.

Aniston seemed to have a lot of fun playing a stripper in the film, telling "Extra," "[Stripping] was so much fun. I had a great choreographer - she was fantastic, and it was to great music and it was fun."

"We're The Millers" his theaters on August 9.

Surprise: Jerry Lewis Still Doesn't Find Women Funny

2013-05-23T16:53:34Z

CANNES, France — Ladies? Don't make him laugh.

Asked who his favorite female comics were Thursday at a Cannes Film Festival press conference, Jerry Lewis listed Cary Grant and Burt Reynolds. He then added: "I don't have any."

In 1998, Lewis famously said that watching women do comedy "sets me back a bit" and that he has trouble with the notion of would-be mothers as comedians.

Asked Thursday if he had changed his mind at all because of performers like Melissa McCarthy and Sarah Silverman, the 87-year-old Lewis said of women performing broad comedy: "I can't see women doing that. It bothers me."

"I cannot sit and watch a lady diminish her qualities to the lowest common denominator," he said. "I just can't do that."

Lewis was in Cannes for the premiere of "Max Rose," a drama directed by Daniel Noah in which Lewis stars as an aging jazz musician.

In her 2011 memoir, "Bossypants," Tina Fey alluded to Lewis' attitudes about female comedians: "Whenever someone says to me, `Jerry Lewis says women aren't funny,' or `Christopher Hitchens says women aren't funny,' ... Do you have anything to say to that?'

"Yes," writes Fey. "We don't f------ care if you like it."

Annette Bourdeau: The Top 7 Reasons To See 'Hangover 3'

2013-05-23T16:51:44Z

They are back! They are baaaaack! They are ... the three best friends that anybody could have, the three best friends that anybody could have, and they'll never ever, ever ever leave each other.

Yep, Stu, Phil and Alan are back on the big screen this week in The Hangover 3. More importantly, they're back where it all started -- Vegas. Part of the reason The Hangover 2 disappointed a tad (aside from the completely recycled plot, of course) was because it was missing its fourth co-star: Vegas.

Sure, Bangkok is fun and all, but it wasn't part of the original Hangover magic. That's why Part 2 felt like it was missing something important, even though all of the key players -- even Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) and Mike Tyson -- were there.

This time around, the guys are chasing Chow in order to save their pal Doug (Justin Bartha), who has been very randomly kidnapped by a rich bad guy played by John Goodman and his head henchman, the other Doug (Mike Epps) from the first Hangover. Naturally, Chow heads to Vegas the first chance he gets. Because really, why wouldn't he? Vegas is the best. The Wolf Pack follows him there, and crazy antics ensue, including a pretty cool scene with the Caesar's Palace sign.

The plot is pretty thin, so don't over-think it too much. Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and keep your eyes peeled for recurring characters from the original. (Other Doug isn't the only one who resurfaces! Sadly, Bryan Callen's crazy wedding chapel character doesn't appear, though.)

So, is The Hangover 3 a great movie? Well, not really. But it's entertaining, and certainly worth seeing if you liked the first one. Here are my top 7 reasons why.

1. Vegas! The glittering city is on full display -- especially when Chow winds up gliding over the Bellagio Fountains and the Eiffel Tower.

2. Melissa McCarthy. Can you think of a better love interest for Alan? Neither can I. The perfectly goofy McCarthy is great as a surly pawnshop worker who steals Alan's heart by yelling at her sweet, invalid mother.

3. Chow. And plenty of him. Clearly, Phillips realized that Chow was one of the original's biggest strengths. He's all over Part 3, doing everything from busting out of a Bangkok jail to belting out Hurt by Nine Inch Nails at a Tijuana karaoke night.

4. A deeper look at Alan's "stay at home son" lifestyle. We see him demanding Oreo smoothies from his mother and knocking over glasses full of Tab just to make his poor maid clean it up.

5. John Goodman. Sure, this isn't his best role, but he's John Goodman. Even if he's phoning it in, he's awesome. Plus he makes dainty little decorative scarves look pretty badass.

6. Baby Tyler/Carlos is back, and he's an adorable four-year-old now. And yes, that means mama Heather Graham is back, too -- this time as a suburban mom, not an enterprising stripper/escort.

7. What happens to Stu after the credits. I won't give it away. But if you wondered how they could top losing a tooth or getting a face tattoo, rest assured -- they've found a way.

The Hangover Part 3 opens in theatres on May 23.
