It’s hard to believe that 25 years have passed since “The Golden Girls” concluded its award-winning seven-season run. 

The NBC series, of course, has amassed a cult following in its years of syndication. Since the show wrapped in 1992, fans eager for more “Golden Girls” have found solace in drag parodies, a podcast, a coloring book, a long-running puppet show and even a restaurant. 

Soon you’ll be able to enjoy Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose in your living room once again ― albeit not on your television screen. The fab foursome will star in a new incarnation of the classic board game Clue, which hits stores in June, Nerdist reported Tuesday. 

“Clue: The Golden Girls” swaps the original’s New England mansion setting for the girls’ iconic Miami home. The object of this version of the game may be even more exasperating than solving a murder for “Golden Girls” fans: figuring out who ate the last piece of cheesecake. 

“There is little in this life that is as endearing to people as ‘The Golden Girls,’ but seeing the ruthless side of those salty octogenarians in this high-energy game is the best part,” representatives from USAopoly Inc., which is producing the game under license from Hasbro and ABC, said in a press release. “Trust us when we tell you that you’ll solve the crime, but getting there is half (or all!) the fun … and as anyone who loves cheesecake knows, there’s no stopping until this heinous atrocity gets the justice it deserves.” 

In addition to the four women, the suspects include Dorothy’s ex-husband, Stan, and Rose’s longtime beau, Miles, both of whom were series regulars. A feathered slipper, a bathrobe, a tube of lipstick and even Sophia’s purse are among the “weapons” that the suspects may have used to consume said cheesecake.  

Clue has gotten a colorful makeover before. Other special editions of the game have featured characters from “The Big Bang Theory,” “Game of Thrones” and Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride.

Still, if “Clue: The Golden Girls” doesn’t give you incentive to get your holiday shopping started early, we don’t know what will.

Queer cinema fans are already buzzing about the new coming-of-age comedy, “Handsome Devil,” and HuffPost has a sneak peek at an exclusive clip from the film.  

Directed by John Butler, “Handsome Devil” follows Ned (Fionn O’Shea), an artistically minded, outcast teen who is sent to an all-boys boarding school in Ireland by his widowed father (Ardal O’Hanlon). As seen in the clip above, Ned is bullied relentlessly by his sports-loving classmates, but eventually, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his rugby jock roommate, Conor (Nicholas Galitzine). 

Butler, who also wrote the “Handsome Devil” screenplay, told HuffPost that he based the film on his own experience attending an all-boys boarding school as a teen. Unlike Ned, however, the openly gay writer-director is also a big sports fan, and said he struggled with what he felt were “two incompatible aspects” of his personality growing up. 

“It’s a story that sprang from that difficulty, but it’s very much set in the here and now, and just as relevant in 2017,” he said, pointing to the fact that very few professional athletes have come out as LGBTQ. 

So far, the critics seem to agree. The Irish Film Review applauded “Handsome Devil” for “delivering a far more satisfying examination of masculinity than before,” while Vanity Fair called it “perky and entertaining” after its 2016 Toronto International Film Festival debut. The Guardian compared it favorably to “Moonlight,” which won the Oscar for Best Picture in February. 

Despite tackling teen bullying, homophobia and other serious themes, “Handsome Devil” concludes on an upbeat note for both Ned and Conor ― a fact of which Butler is particularly proud. “We shouldn’t classify happy endings in our community as being out of reach or belonging in the realms of fantasy in any way,” he said. “For too long, our narratives have been framed dramatically with desperately sad endings. It’s time to think differently, and to use different lenses to tell our stories.”

Butler hopes that all-inclusive message resounds beyond the LGBTQ community, too. “This is a film about identity, and the struggles of youth. Hopefully everyone can relate to that,” he said. 

“Handsome Devil” hits theaters and On Demand June 2.

There’s nothing slow about how Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” has taken over the music charts worldwide. 

The “Despacito” remix featuring Justin Bieber officially hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 on Monday, making it the first mostly Spanish-language song to claim the spot since the “Macarena” in 1996. The only other song to achieve this in history was “La Bamba,” according to Forbes.

The original single, which has over a billion views on YouTube, was released in January and quickly climbed the charts in Latin America and Europe. But in the United States, it wasn’t until Bieber remixed the song in April that it began making its way to the top.

When the remix was first released on YouTube, it raked in approximately 20 million views in the first 24 hours and became the biggest debut of a music video on the site in 2017 so far, according to Billboard. 

Fonsi spoke about the single’s success on AOL’s Build on Wednesday.

“We’re taking over ‘Macarena,’ baby,” he said. “It’s amazing. It’s a blessing. It’s been such an amazing ride ever since we released the song with Daddy Yankee first thing this year. It just started connecting with people.”

The Puerto Rican star also discussed the importance of the Bieber remix.  

“He wanted to join the movement and he asked us to be a part of the song, which I think is great for Latin music to have such a huge superstar to want to sing a song in Spanish,” Fonsi said.

Watch Fonsi describe the night he got a call about Bieber’s interest in the remix above. And watch the full interview with AOL’s Build below.

Because we will never satiate our collective appetite for Michael Jackson’s sordid personal life, Netflix is reportedly closing a deal to acquire a movie told from the perspective of the singer’s chimpanzee. 

Maybe you remember Bubbles? Here’s a refresher course.

Jackson adopted the young chimp in 1983. By the late ‘80s, Bubbles was wearing diapers, traveling with Jackson on tours, sitting in on recording sessions and sleeping in a crib at Neverland Ranch. It was once rumored that Bubbles would serve as ring bearer at Elizabeth Taylor’s 1991 wedding, held at Jackson’s home, but Taylor’s spokeswoman denied it. Contributing to Jackson’s media mockery, the chimp’s presence helped to cement the singer’s lingering Peter Pan persona. In the early 2000s, Bubbles had become an aggressive adult, as apes are wont to do, and he was relocated to an animal sanctuary. 

Now, back to the news: The movie is a stop-motion coming-of-age story called, well, “Bubbles.” The script, written by Isaac Adamson, topped the 2015 Black List, an annual ranking of admired screenplays up for grabs. In a bidding war with Hollywood studios, Netflix bought the rights for a hefty sum nearing $20 million, according to Deadline. (HuffPost asked a Netflix rep to confirm that figure, but we didn’t immediately receive a reply.)

Taika Waititi, best known for “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”, and Mark Gufaston, who supervised the animation on “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” will co-direct “Bubbles.” Waititi and Gufaston’s clout lends the project a credibility that, say, Lifetime’s seemingly exploitative Jackson biopic cannot claim. 

The stop-motion aspect of “Bubbles” is another mark in its favor, primarily because the project can avoid the controversy that’s inevitable when selecting an actor to portray Jackson. Things didn’t go well earlier this year when footage showed Joseph Fiennes playing the singer in the British comedy series “Urban Myths.” The European network Sky yanked the episode after Jackson’s family called Fiennes’ casting “shameful.” 

“It’s an idea that fascinates me and one I want to develop further,” Waititi reportedly said in February, upon first signing on to direct the movie. “Most people know I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan, so the main thing for me is to make sure it’s respectful of him and his legacy. I’m not interested in making a biopic; I want to focus on telling a story that blends fact and fantasy, about an animal trying to make sense of the world.”

No release date has been announced.

The future of the Donald Trump impression on “Saturday Night Live” is in capable tiny hands.

With Alec Baldwin mulling a possible exit from playing Trump on “SNL,” Ellen DeGeneres asked Johnny Depp on her show Thursday if he’d replace him.

Captain Jack Sparrow is into the idea.

“Sure,” he replied. “Basically, Alec’s done all the work. I can just copy him.” 

The actor wouldn’t need to worry about copying anyone else’s interpretation (which is good because apparently he’s never even seen Baldwin play Trump). Depp already impersonated Trump for Funny or Die’s 50-minute biopic, “The Art of the Deal: The Movie” ― and broke out his impression after DeGeneres complimented him on the on-screen performance.

At an ACLU event in March, Baldwin told HuffPost that he’d stay in the Trump role for this season, but the future really depends on his schedule. Whether or not Depp would be called on as a replacement remains to be seen. 

The president might be into it. It’d be good for ratings, and who cares if someone makes fun of him as long as they get good ratings, right?

Merriam-Webster defines “headdesk” as an internet neologism “used to express frustration or exasperation.” 

Apparently, it also describes the dictionary’s reaction to having its helpful language advice once again ignored by President Donald Trump.

On May 8, Trump issued another of his memorable misspellings, tweeting, “Ask Sally Yates, under oath, if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers soon after she explained it to W.H. Council.” Oops, wrong council/counsel, pointed out indefatigable word defender Merriam-Webster: 

Just 10 days later, however, Trump was at it again, this time with a weird mashup between the two spellings in a now-deleted tweet: “With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed.”

Catch that? The i has become an e, but unfortunately it’s still right after a c. That’s not a word!

This time, Merriam-Webster was too exhausted to reiterate its previous correction, simply following up on the May 8 thread to relay their reaction:

Apparently a facepalm just wasn’t enough. 

According to Merriam-Webster, “headdesk” is derived from the literal slamming of one’s head into a desk out of frustration or annoyance. The abbreviated term arose online, initially in late ‘90s forums, and has been popularized on social media and other digital communications as a quick, colorful way of conveying one’s irritation.

“The word headdesk is used most often interjectionally, or a parenthetical comment on something,” the dictionary notes, but with outrage and frustration becoming a constant feature of the political scene, it’s no wonder we’re increasingly using it as a verb or even a gerund.

Merriam-Webster has been headdesking over Trump’s reckless disregard for the English language for some time. Given all the troublesome news coming out of the White House ― the least of which may be its spelling woes ― we should probably all get comfortable with the word, and its application.

It seems Eva Longoria can rock nearly anything on the red carpet, even a dress that’s backward.

As this year’s Cannes Film Festival begins, the actress celebrated more than a decade of attending the event by posting a throwback photo on Instagram and revealing a “fun fact.”

In the photo Longoria shared on Wednesday, the star is wearing a dress with a deep plunge in the front. But it turns out that plunge was supposed to go in the back. 

“Flashback to my first year in Cannes 12 years ago!” she wrote in the photo caption. “I look like a baby! Fun fact: I had my dress on backward Yep. Backwards and didn’t know it!!!!”

No worries, Eva. We didn’t know it, either.

Shi Hailei, a tattoo artist at Samurai Tattoo in Shanghai, is helping new moms regain their confidence after giving birth via caesarean section by offering free tattoos to cover the scars. 

China has a high C-section rate, with approximately 35 percent of Chinese babies delivered via caesarean instead of vaginal birth. Many attribute this high rate to China’s one-child policy, economy and healthcare conditions, while others note that superstition from relatives may encourage women to schedule C-sections on lucky days on the Chinese calendar.

Shi’s free tattoos aim to help C-section mamas regain their confidence as they recover from the surgical procedure and try to embrace their postpartum bodies.

“I felt awkward to see my scar when wearing a low-waist dancing dress,” dance teacher Grace Yuan, who got a rose tattoo in April, told Reuters. “I can dance freely on the stage now without worries or awkwardness.”

Here’s to helping all moms feel confident in their postpartum bodies!
