After 7 years of working with the network, Handler has decided to depart and transition to Netflix. Here is a run-down of her goodbye episode.

Ellen Degeneres joined Handler in the shower in search of an explanation. The daytime talk-show host was confused on why she had never been invited on to the show.

Then Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, and Mary McCormack set down with Handler for an intervention.

All kinds of celebrities filled the studio to take part in a “We Are The World” style farewell song titled, “Goodbye To E!

A teary eyed Handler took her final moment at E! seriously and made sure to thank everyone who was involved in the making of her show.

Celebrities That Suck At Paying Taxes – POP 5 http://thepopfix.com/2014/04/18/celebrities-that-suck-at-paying-taxes-pop-5/ http://thepopfix.com/2014/04/18/celebrities-that-suck-at-paying-taxes-pop-5/#comments Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:34:06 +0000 http://thepopfix.com/?p=9390 Making money is fun! Paying taxes sucks! Paying taxes is just about as much fun as getting a colonoscopy.

No one likes paying taxes, and some people, well, don’t.  We get it – it’s more fun to have more money, but then it all catches up with you.  The IRS finds you, takes your money, your house, your cars, your Vespa, your bling, your fancy salt water fish tank, and your dignity.  All you’re left with is your chihuahua, and a block of cheese.  Well, they’ll probably take that too.

In the spirit of taxation, join Kristin Mineo on THEPOPFIX as we count down the POP 5 Celebrities Who Suck At Paying Taxes.

So sweet. So passionate. So full of crap.

Well, that’s if “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling is to be believed! Recently Rowling did an interview with actress Emma Watson and revealed that maaaaybe Ron and Hermione shouldn’t have ended up together after all. Wow. What’s next, lady? Are you going to tell children there’s no such thing as Santa Claus? I mean – there is, a Santa Claus any children watching this because they put “Harry Potter” into YouTube and this video came up.

OK, let’s move on. Quickly.

We here at THEPOPFIX started thinking about it and maybe some other iconic movie couples weren’t such a good idea either! Join us as we countdown our POP 5 Movie Couples Who Totally Shouldn’t Have Gotten Together.

How To Find Your Spirit Animal http://thepopfix.com/2014/03/03/nerd-out-whats-your-spirit-animal/ http://thepopfix.com/2014/03/03/nerd-out-whats-your-spirit-animal/#comments Mon, 03 Mar 2014 16:41:41 +0000 http://thepopfix.com/?p=7820 One day about 5 years ago, when I lived in the beautiful city of Chicago, I was standing on the stoop outside of my apartment when a gorgeous monarch butterfly flew right by me.  The timing was just too perfect.  I had to know more…

In that moment, I realized that there was something greater at work.  I didn’t call up the butterfly and say, “Hey Mr. Butterfly, I’m going to be standing on my stoop at 1:34pm, so if you could just fly by, that would be awesome.” Nope.  It was serendipitous.  And it got me thinking…

How many amazing animal and creature moments have I been missing in my life because I’ve been so busy or distracted by my to-do list?  What is nature trying to tell me?

So, instead of asking nature (too easy), I Google’d “monarch butterfly symbolism.”  Turns out the monarch butterfly is the symbol of positive change, transformation and new beginnings.  I had just made a bunch of healthy changes in my life and was considering leaving a big corporate job for a creative career.  Big changes were upon me, and the butterfly was a high-five from the Universe.

Thus began my spirit animal discovery process.  Every time a cool creature crosses my path, I Google it.  If I see a lizard, I know it’s about my shadow self (the areas of myself that I don’t want to show others).  If I see a honey bee, I know it means prosperity and abundance.  I love honeybees showing up. If a hummingbird comes by to say hello, I know that it’s telling me to focus on love and joy in my life.  And even spiders mean something!  When a spider appears, it means I’ve gotta get back to my writing.

To get even weirder with it all (if it wasn’t weird enough for you yet), I asked a life coach how to discover my main Spirit animal.  I sat in meditation and allowed an environment to appear in my thoughts.  I then kindly asked my Spirit animal to reveal itself.  A stunning giraffe appeared within the bushes to say hello.  Giraffes are creatures of love, gentleness and kindness, which is obviously perfect for me (maybe not everyone agrees with that, but that’s besides the point).  It was really cool, for a nerd like me.

If you want to get even weirder, you can create your animal totem.  Those are all of the main creatures that present themselves to you on a regular basis.  As of now, mine consists of the Monarch butterfly, the lizard, hummingbird, giraffe, spider and the honey bee.

Your Spirit animals can appear at any time.  Recently, when I was standing on a street corner, a homeless man yelled out “shark!”  No one else around, so of course I received the message and researched the symbolism, and it described me really well.  Signs are everywhere.

Everything means something if we let the mysteries of the Universe reveal themselves to us and we’re willing to listen.  Life is way more fun that way.

Watch the video to find out what are Erin Darling and Clarke Wolfe’s spirit animals.

Now that we’ve shared our spirit animals with you, we’d love to know if you’ve had any cool or weird spirit animal experiences.  Leave a comment below and let us know!

Until next time…

What Was He Thinking: Bieber’s Biggest Blunders http://thepopfix.com/2014/02/25/pop-5-most-awkward-bieber-moments/ http://thepopfix.com/2014/02/25/pop-5-most-awkward-bieber-moments/#comments Tue, 25 Feb 2014 07:00:23 +0000 http://thepopfix.com/?p=7959 In case you haven’t heard the huge news, Justin Bieber confused the whole Internet a few weeks ago when he said he was retiring.

He told Power 106 in a radio interview that his next album would be his last album and then declared his retirement from the music industry via Twitter, stating: “My beloved Beliebers, I’m retiring.”

Bieber Tweet

According to Justin, “Being a Belieber is a lifestyle.”  Pretty sure that lifestyle is a classy one, including urinating into a mop bucket at a restaurant before saying “F*ck Bill Clinton” while spraying a liquid at a picture of the former president’s face. (He tweeted to apologize)

I’m going to just throw this out there – those activities are not on my bucket list.

Now, this could all just be a ploy to get publicity for the release of his epic movie, “Believe,” or his new compilation album, “Journals.” But, for all of the shenanigans, I’ll admit, I’ll rock out to a Bieber song when it comes on the radio.  And I might or might not have made a Justin Bieber “Boyfriend” parody.

So, as a tribute to Justin, if his career is really over at the ripe age of 19, we here at THEPOPFIX want to celebrate his legacy and all of his glory by counting down the most awkward Bieber moments.

 Bieber’s Biggest Blunders

 

5. Anne Frank = Belieber?

Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank house in the Netherlands and left a comment in the guest book, “Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.”

Woah!  Justin.  Really?  Did you not read the book? It’s called “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Pick-up a copy.  This might be a case where skipping junior high and high school for a music career is NOT beneficial to education or cultural sensitivity.  Where’s Ursher during these oh sh*t moments?  You’re his mentor!  Save him from him herself!  Maybe he just needs a hug.

4. Bieber Goes Bananas

We’re gonna keep this one simple: Justin bought a pet monkey.  Justin brought said monkey to Germany.  Justin didn’t file proper paperwork.  Justin no longer has a pet monkey.  Monkey is now German property and in a zoo.

3. Booed At The Billboard Awards

Justin Bieber made four stage appearances at the Billboard Music Awards, and on the fourth appearance, he accepted the first-ever Milestone Award while being booed.  He congratulated himself and said, “I’m 19 year old.  I think I’m doing a pretty good job.”

You just won an award based on a popular vote, which means millions of people voted for you, and you’re taking the credit?  Touche Mr. Biebs.  Bold, very bold.

2. Glass Door Encounters

Not once, but TWICE – Justin ran into a revolving glass door in 2010 and then, oops he did it again when he ran into a glass door backstage during his show in Paris.  The second one was a doozy – he kept performing, because he’s a champion, obviously, but passed out for 15 seconds in his dressing room from a concussion.

He said in an interview with TMZ: “I guess me and glass windows just don’t work.”

Neither do you and grammar, dear sir.  But that’s for a different day.

I think they sell stickers to put on glass doors so you see them.  Might be something to consider with your millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars.  Mostly for your safety.  I mean, ‘You’re 19 and you’re doing a pretty good job.’  Minus the run-ins with glass doors and paparazzi, which brings me to my next awkward Bieber moment.

1. Bieber Goes Ape Shit (Not A Monkey Joke)

In March of this year, Justin went crazy on some paparazzi outside a London hotel.  Justin jumped out of the van to attack the paparazzi.  His bodyguard had to restrain him while he yelled, “I’ll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you.”

He was wearing a red sweatshirt with a matching red beanie at the time. He could have been mad at his outfit selection. That could make anyone lose it on a guy with a camera.

And a bonus Bieber moment because we love you…

I guess Justin has decided that clothing is optional, like many other celebs.  He’s known for being shirtless a majority of the time, even in the hospital bed in London.  But pantsless?  On Instagram?  Come on Biebs!  Keep your pants on!  Bieber booty is not what I need on my mind, ever.  Leave the bootylicious songs to Beyonce.  I get the abs.  But ass?

You know what?  Justin, maybe this retirement is exactly what you need to get your life back together before you shave your head, walk in gas station bathrooms barefoot and attack paparazzi with umbrellas.

That concludes our list of POP 5 Most Awkward Bieber Moments.  Did we miss your favorite Justin moment?  Leave a comment below and let us know.  Thanks for watching THEPOPFIX! Keep Beliebing!

Until next time, what’s your fix?

Why “Batman vs. Superman” Is So Crazy, It Just Might Work – POP 5 http://thepopfix.com/2014/02/01/pop-5-reasons-why-batman-vs-superman-is-so-crazy-it-just-might-work/ http://thepopfix.com/2014/02/01/pop-5-reasons-why-batman-vs-superman-is-so-crazy-it-just-might-work/#comments Sat, 01 Feb 2014 17:54:43 +0000 http://thepopfix.com/?p=8041 Since the announcement at Comic Con 2013 that the Man of Steel sequel would ALSO be a Batman vs. Superman movie, all of the news coming out of Warner Bros. regarding the film has caused huge chatter on the interwebs. Things got even more crazy when Variety reported exclusively that Joaquin Phoenix is allegedly in talks to play Lex Luthor which, if it happens, seals the deal that Batman vs Superman could rival the never produced Superman Lives for potentially the craziest Superman movie ever and this one is definitely happening.

From Batfleck to Jason Momoa to Wonder Woman, let’s countdown our POP5 reasons why Batman vs. Superman is SO crazy, it just might work!
