The Celebrity Crush “Missed Connection” Meme Is Giving Photoshop a Lot of Business

It all started when Twitter helped two friends get together. From there, Twitter user BeeBabs photoshopped herself with Michael B. Jordan, and the rest was history. (Well, history in the sense that it worked and she got a real picture with Michael B. Jordan, so now everyone is trying to have the same thing happen to them.)

Betty Draper and Loving Flawed Women

January Jones as Betty Draper in Mad Men (2007)

He says Mueller and the "angry dems" are searching for a crime that doesn't exist, and that if it does exist, he wasn't involved. That defense has really been unravelling this week.
