Obama

In a near-perfect exercise of glossy magazine trolling, GQ has announced the 25 Least Influential People Alive. Among the twenty six folks the magazine has decided is worthy targets of indifference (the list includes former child actors Tia and Tamera Mowry as a single entity, which is a fun, modern twist on the Three-Fifths Compromise), the magazine is throwing some attention to people they think have too much attention! Most of them are TV and movie actors like Gwyneth Paltrow and Tila Tequila (fingers on the pulse, GQ!), which is a profession that sadly garners too much influence these days, but the magazine also throws shade at some political stars, as well. Ironically, there's a pair of America's sweethearts who had previously graced the covers of GQ: President Barack Obama and Mad Men's January Jones.

Bradley Cooper

● The boys of Aerosmith, otherwise known as Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Joey Kramer, hit the beach together and posed topless for the paparazzi. It's almost cute? [Vulture]

President Obama has been known to be one step ahead of the pack in terms of "cool guy insults." First, he killed Osama Bin Laden like a whole two days after shutting up 'Birthers' about where his birth certificate was.

But with this next quip, he took the metaphorical cake. If Republican dreams should happen to be made out of metaphor-cake, they had better be listening.
