Neil Patrick Harris Really Wants To Be On 'American Horror Story'

Neil Patrick Harris may be busy with his Broadway gig in "Hedwig and the Angry Itch," but that doesn't stop him from wanting to guest star on "American Horror Story."



During a visit to Entertainment Weekly Radio, Harris revealed that he really wants to be on "American Horror Story: Freak Show." Even though the actor will be on Broadway until August 17, his final night as Hedwig, he says he asked Ryan Murphy about a cameo anyway. "I wrote a letter to Ryan, asking if I could be in it. And he didn't respond," Harris said.



On Friday, July 18, however, Murphy finally responded. In a tweet the "AHS" creator said he has a role in mind for Harris.

@ActuallyNPH of course you can be on Freak Show! I have a role I think you'd love.

— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) July 18, 2014

Murphy got Stevie Nicks to come on the show last season, so we don't see why he wouldn't work his magic again to make this awesome cameo happen.

Bill Maher Slams Militarized Police Culture In America

Bill Maher used his closing monologue on the July 18 episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher" to take a jab at militarized police culture in America. He listed different small towns that use military-style tanks and "toys" in their police departments. "Once you start dressing and equipping people like an occupying army, they start acting like one," he said. "Every day there's another story in the paper about cops beating innocent people." He noted that police culture isn't just borrowing equipment and machinery from the army, but also a "philosophy of overwhelming force," citing the rise in SWAT team invasions and police brutality. Watch the whole monologue above.

George Takei Tells Bill Maher Why He Can't Stand William Shatner

The fact that "Star Trek" costars George Takei and William Shatner don't get along in real life is a sad thing for Trekkies to face.



While visiting "Real Time With Bill Maher," Takei addressed his longtime feud with the original Captain Kirk. Maher joked, "But he's Canadian, he should love you!" before Takei went on to explain how, for him, Shatner is the exception to that myth. "Canadians have a certain image of being even-tempered and friendly and all that,” Takei said. "He is a person who is that way with himself ... he is very self-centered."



Takei said that despite their disagreements they still acted like professionals on set, though "with a lot of difficulty." Check out the full clip above.

This Is How The Media Chooses To Profile A Female Activist

Cecily McMillan, the 25-year-old Occupy Wall Street activist who was jailed for elbowing a police officer during a protest, returned to court on Thursday, where a cadre of hard-hitting journalists greeted her with questions about her courtroom attire.



"My editor told me to ask who you're wearing," a photographer was spotted eagerly asking McMillan, according to The Village Voice.



McMillan, who was earlier this month released from Rikers Island -- one of the country's most notoriously violent jails -- explained that although she was free, she no longer felt safe in New York "because I was sexually assaulted and then put in jail for it," according to the Voice. McMillan has alleged from the start that the officer involved in her assault case forcibly grabbed her breast from behind during the protest; after elbowing him, she was promptly arrested and put in jail.



Upon hearing her explanation Thursday, a Post reporter responded, "Well, you look fabulous! But you should eat more."



The interactions resulted in a blatantly sexist portrayal of McMillan sprinkled with mocking details about her fashion choices -- all of which fail to mention that she was asked such questions by the press.



The Daily News went straight to the sartorial details with the headline, "Occupy Wall Street protester wears Calvin Klein to court."



The Post's own coverage included a previously dated photo of an emotional McMillan with the caption, "McMillan cries in court in May after being given an outfit she had already worn." The paper led with the headline "Rikers Island: The new way to lose weight."



Rikers is currently at the center of damning allegations of officer abuse, contraband smuggling by officers, regular beatings of the mentally ill, and corruption.



McMillan has been using her newfound freedom to speak out against the treatment of inmates at Rikers -- a cause that is essentially being buried for more important notes on her outfit choices. Well done, New York media!

5 Ways Concealer Will Change Your Makeup Game

After a late night or when faced with an unexpected acne breakout, concealer is one of the first things we reach for in our makeup bag.



And like most cosmetics, concealer has many uses beyond what it says on the label. Here are five different ways to make your life a little easier with a just a few dabs.



1. Make your lipstick last longer.







No lip liner? No problem. With an applicator or your finger, line and fill in your lips with the cover-up, making sure to blend so there aren't any uneven spots. Allow it to dry and then apply your lipstick.



Concealer helps your lip color last longer, adds dimension to the shade and prevents feathering. A dab of this product on your cupid's bow will make your lipstick radiate even more.



2. Give your lashes more volume.



Volumizing mascaras don't always do the trick, but a little concealer can help your eyelashes go the distance. With a small brush, apply a liquid formula to your lashes -- make sure to extend the brush to the tips. Then put on your mascara and marvel at the results!



3. Create the ultimate neutral eyeshadow.







During the morning rush, sometimes you just want something to refresh your eyes without eating up your time. Fulfill this makeup dream with cover-up.



4. Stop your eye makeup from running.



Quickly combat streaks of eyeliner and splashes of shadow by blending concealer into the problem areas -- that consistency will rub out the color, while giving you a fresh slate for touch-ups.



5. Enhance your flushed cheeks.







Whether you're looking to mattify your face or you want to amp up your glow, concealer will transform your bright or brooding blushes.



There are two ways to go about using concealer to enhance blush. One: Place small dots of cover-up along your cheeks and blend up with your fingertips, adding a powder blush on top. Two: Mix a little bit of concealer with a cream blush to add more warmth to your face.



Have you tried any of these concealer tricks? Let us know in the comments section!

Here's Your First Look At The New Queen Elsa From 'Once Upon A Time'

Bow down, there's a new queen in town.



Since news broke that a "Frozen"/"Once Upon A Time" crossover was definitely happening, we've been wondering who would play our favorite ice queen. Georgina Haig was cast as Elsa of Arendelle shortly after the show found the actors who would take on the roles of Princess Anna and Kristoff, and we have to admit, we were a bit worried. Sure, she had the right color hair and the big blue eyes -- plus she'd proven her acting ability starring alongside Joshua Jackson on "Fringe" -- but could she really step into those Disney-sized shoes? The jury's still out on that one, but at least she looks the part.



A few photos snapped at the Vancouver set where "OUAT" is currently filming it's fourth season reveal what real-life Elsa will look like on the show, and it's pretty similar to her animated counterpart. From the bedazzled light blue gown to the glass slippers (and of course those silver locks styled into a beautiful braid), everything seems to be on point.















The actress even gave fans some insider info on what it takes to transform into her Disney alter ego via Twitter -- apparently that dress is what you'd want to be wearing in a game of strip poker.

Useless Elsa costume fact- this outfit has 8 pieces to it. Perhaps one is tremendously bad at strip poker and is covering ones ass.
