Everyone loves a good roast. Just ask Jeff Ross.


Jeff Ross is a big-time celebrity who makes heaps of money from his hilarious celebrity roasts. Jeff has led roasts on everyone from Donald Trump to Justin Bieber, and they are so funny, that watching one has caused people to literally go to the hospital after laughing so hard their lungs exploded. Jeff is the undisputed King of Comedy.

Urban Dictionary defines "roast" as:

To humorously mock or humiliate someone with a well-timed joke, diss or comeback.
Noun form: the aforementioned joke, diss or comeback.
See also: sizzle

Roasts are good ol' fashioned fun, but sometimes, they can get ugly. In order to roast someone well and kindly, here's what you gotta do:

1. Find A Target

Got a good buddy with thick skin or maybe someone you hate with thin skin? Get a big group of people, put them all in a room, and then sit your Roast Target down in the front of the room for all to see. It's time to get this party started.

2. Look At Them Closely

When you want to roast someone, one of the first things you should do is just look at them. Stare at them for a while and take note of their appearance. If they have a fault, take note--this will be good material for your friendly, good-natured roast.

3. Talk To Them For 5 Minutes

Talk to them! You gotta know your target before you can properly roast them. Take five minutes to delve deep into their psyche. Figure our what their bad habits, embarrassing anecdotes, and negative attributes are. This will be useful.

4. Use Your Data to Attack Their Biggest Insecurities

Now that you've gathered your information, it's time to ROAST. Take what your target hates about themselves and expose these things in front of your target and large audience full of family, friends, and strangers. Everyone will love it.

5. Wink

Winking is a very playful gesture and it lets your target know that this is all just a big joke between pals. No harm, no foul!

6. Shake Hands

If, by some longshot, your cute lil wink wasn't enough to keep your target's soul from crushing under the weight of painful jokes and insults, there's one thing that will always cheer them up: a firm handshake. Once you finish your roast, you approach your target cautiously, as not to spook them, and then give their hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze. They will immediately understand that you never meant them any harm. This handshake is crucial.

7. Leave

Once you've shaken your target's hand and everyone in the audience is giving you a standing O, your work is officially done. Get on out of there and start looking for your next victim.


And that's how you give someone a nice, good roast! Try these out TODAY (just not on me!)!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
