Arnold Schwarzenegger is so buff he didn't realize somebody dropkicked him

For a 71-year-old, Arnold Schwarzenegger is still pretty damn built.

While attending a jump rope competition in Johannesburg, South Africa, the former body pro bodybuilder, actor, and governor of California was dropkicked in the back by an unidentified attacker while he was in the middle of filming a video for his Snapchat account.

Now, most people would've turned around to see WTF hit them, but not Schwarzenegger. The guy's so buff he didn't even realize someone had dropkicked him at first.

SEE ALSO: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Instagram is actually kind of good?

In a video posted to YouTube (skip to 0:56), the attacker, clad in a dark sweatshirt and gray sweatpants, is seen launching a flying kick right into Schwarzenegger's back. 

It's unclear what the motive was for the attack. Security immediately rushed over to detain the attacker as he yelled for help, but it's hard to make out what he was saying.

And if you have to share the video (I get it), pick a blurry one without whatever he was yelling so he doesn’t get the spotlight. By the way... block or charge? pic.twitter.com/TEmFRCZPEA

Schwarzenegger let out a pained cry as he absorbed the impact, but apparently he didn't even realize what had happened until later. Schwarzenegger says he thought he had been "jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot."

He only later found out he was kicked in the back when he saw a video of the attack online.

Thanks for your concerns, but there is nothing to worry about. I thought I was just jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot. I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you. I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat.

— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) May 18, 2019

In a tweet, Schwarzenegger reassured followers he was okay and "there is nothing to worry about" before capping it off with "I'm just glad the idiot didn't interrupt my Snapchat."

Man, imagine how pissed Schwarzenegger would've been if the guy had messed with his Snapchat.  Would he have just snapped the guy in half? That's probably too extreme, but not totally out of the question considering he was the Terminator.

Schwarzenegger urged his followers to not re-share the video and give attention to the attacker "who wants to be famous." Instead, he'd much prefer fans support the young athletes who are a part of his Arnold Sports Festival and are helping to spread the benefits of fitness to everyone.

Do me a favor: instead of sharing the video of the guy who wants to be famous, watch some of our @ArnoldSports athletes like this young hero proving that fitness is for everyone who deserve to be famous. They’re on my Snapchat. pic.twitter.com/EuMynJ7t1n

BTS lit up Stephen Colbert's stage again and it's pretty clear everyone's a fan

There's no such thing as too much BTS.

Mere days after taking the world by storm (again) with a Beatles-inspired performance of "Boy With Luv" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, K-pop phenomenon BTS returned to the talk show for a second special appearance to perform "Make It Right."

And you guessed it: BTS fans (aka ARMY) couldn't get enough of the pretty boys and their beautiful voices. 

Unlike their "Boy With Luv" performance, BTS skipped the dancing and instead stuck to a vocals act to let each of their voices shine.

As with seemingly everything they do, fans praised the boy band for their natural live singing abilities, especially their skillfully-timed harmonizations.

MAKE IT RIGHT PERFORMANCE ON THE STEPHEN COLBERT SHOW!!!!!!! The flavor, the harmonization, the vocals, the look!!!! 😍😍🥰😍

Make It Right live performance on Colbert show is the perfect way to shut down those who say BTS can't sing live

Others, however, were just upset they missed it:

NOOOOOOOO I FELL ASKEEP AND MISSED BTS ON COLBERT!!!!

— Karu💜 (@serenchim) May 18, 2019

BTS and the values they're sending through their music isn't just for the teens. The boy band's inclusive messaging is something everyone can appreciate and the main reason they're so beloved by fans across the world.

my auntie said that she watched bts on Stephen Colbert yesterday nd asked me if I already watched it so I said yes, on livestreams and she also said that she was supposed to film it and send to me but she knows that im always updated about them so she didn't,,, so supportive 😂😂

CAN U BELIEVE MY MOM NOT-SO-SECRETLY WATCHED BTS AT THE LATE SHOW STEPHEN COLBERT ON HER PHONE WHEN I HADN’T EVEN WATCHED IT

— k (@nemoonkei) May 18, 2019

i just came back home and the first thing my mom asked me was “have u watched bts’ late show with stephen colbert” JSHSHSSH my mom has now watched bts vids before me this has never happened before!!!!!

— jas ♥ (@slushvtae) May 18, 2019

Even if you don't like BTS, don't be an asshole. The last thing anyone needs right now in today's troubled world is, as one Twitter user astutely put it, negative vibes:

Please go on Stephen Colbert's official FB page and leave some positive comments that'll make people wanna check BTS out. There's loads of uptight white males with toxic masculinity who are hating on their vocals, their rap, and are calling them girls. https://t.co/JhTXoxaz5c pic.twitter.com/wK9z6c675I

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have added a furry friend to their family

With the Royal Wedding now in the rearview mirror, Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle are taking the next big step in their marriage: They're adopting a dog.

The newlyweds have reportedly adopted a Labrador according to People.

SEE ALSO: Prince Harry's former car can be yours for a mere £71K

According to the entertainment magazine, the two adopted the dog in "early summer" and the assuredly adorable pup has "been joining them at their country getaway in the Cotswolds area and Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace in London."

So what does this new canine addition to the family look like? I mean, it's gotta be adorable, right? 

Unfortunately, photos of the Labrador haven't been released (or leaked) yet. Neither has the dog's name. 

Markle is a known pup lover. Prior to joining the British royal family, she had two — a rescue dog named Bogart and a beagle named Guy.

Guy made the trip to his new home in the UK, but Bogart apparently didn't and now resides with one of Markle's friends in Los Angeles, according to E! News.

We're sure photos of the mysterious new Labrador will surface eventually, but if you don't know what they look like (maybe you're not a dog person!), here are some cuties to get stare at:

Woof, woof!

Sia's story of meeting Donald Trump on 'SNL' comes with a crappy twist ending

Way back in 2015, before he was firing everyone from his golden toilet in the White House, Donald Trump just wanted a photo with Sia.

In a Rolling Stone profile published Friday, the singer recalled how Trump politely took it in stride when she declined to take a photo together after they both appeared on Saturday Night Live. But the funniest part? Sia said she had "crazy diarrhea" after the encounter. 

SEE ALSO: Why Trump's EPA wants to kill the nation's most ambitious climate change plan

Sia was walking back to her dressing room when Trump, who was hosting that night's SNL, spotted her and asked for a photo together.

"We’ve got to get a photo!" Sia recalled Trump saying. His daughter Ivanka was reportedly with the future president and ready to snap a pic, but Sia refused his request. 

The singer said she worried about the potential outrage that would come if she was seen with Trump. "Actually, do you mind if we don’t? I have a lot of queer and Mexican fans, and I don’t want them to think that I support your views," she recalled telling Trump.

Seemingly not offended, Trump brushed it off and didn't appear angry or upset. "Oh, no problem. Then don’t," he said in Sia's account.

"It was as if he viewed me as protecting my brand," she added. That's when this story's twist happened.

"I was like, ‘Thank you so much,’" Sia told Rolling Stone, before adding, "and then I went into my dressing room and had crazy diarrhea."

While you might be LOLing at the meeting, as the Huffington Post's follow-up report notes, it's not the only time the Australian pop star ever took a serious dump after being in stressful situation.

In December 2017, she tweeted to her fans how she suffered from similar symptoms after bad weather conditions screwed up a flight, and then a blown tire during a 13-hour drive "has given me crazy diarrhea."

I may be five minutes late. We couldn't catch a plane due to weather, so drove thirteen hours then blew a tire which has given me crazy diarrhea. Bear with me guys. I love you.

— sia (@Sia) December 2, 2017

The question now is, will Trump fire back? Shade her on Twitter? We all know how easily irritated the 45th President of the United States gets whenever anyone says anything remotely bad about him.

Taylor Swift third-wheels fans’ love story during engagement

What are two Taylor Swift fans who met at one of the pop star's concerts back in 2013 supposed to do when they want to spend the rest of their lives together? 

Get engaged in the only way that made sense: In front of Taylor Swift herself.

SEE ALSO: There's a 'Deadpool 2' Taylor Swift Easter egg you definitely missed in the trailer

During a meet-and-greet at her Reputation tour in Philadelphia on Friday, Swift shared a post to her Instagram joking how she was the third wheel after two Swifties decided to get engaged in front of her.

Just. Look. At. Her. Face.

They walk into the meet and greet and he says “We met 5 years ago at the Red Tour” and then..... 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 #thirdwheel

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Jul 13, 2018 at 10:55pm PDT

We're not sure who was more surprised and happier, Swift, or the bride-to-be, or the guy on his knee.

The couple, known only by their first names Anthony and Stephanie, said they met each other five years ago during Swift's Red tour. 

Swift reportedly told Anthony he was a "baller," called the couple "incredible" and urged them to get married.

She called me a baller and said that she is never surprised. She also said we were incredible and to go get married!!!! IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?! #repTourPhilly #Reptourphillyproposal #RepRoom @taylornation13 @taylorswift13

— PHILADELPHIA SHOW PROPOSAL (@TSphilaPROPOSAL) July 13, 2018

Thanks everyone for the love you are sending us! We did not expect this reaction at all! Making Taylor's instagram is by far the coolest way to show off our perfect moment! Can't wait to celebrate with round 2 tomorrow night! #reptourphilly

— PHILADELPHIA SHOW PROPOSAL (@TSphilaPROPOSAL) July 14, 2018

The proposal's been over a month in the making. Anthony made the Twitter account, @TSphilaPROPOSAL, in June in an attempt to catch Taylor's attention so she could witness him pop the question. In June, Anthony tweeted how special Swift was to bringing him closer to his bae:

We have spent countless hours listening to her music together. I can't thank Taylor enough for bringing us closer #ReputationTourPhillyProposal

— PHILADELPHIA SHOW PROPOSAL (@TSphilaPROPOSAL) June 4, 2018

He then tweeted how he wished for Swift to be witness to his proposal:

Our love story started at a RED TOUR show in Philadelphia back in 2013. Taylor Swift is a huge part of our relationship. Nothing would make this proposal more special than having her there! #ReputationTourPhillyProposal

'Plaid shirt guy' wins the internet with silly faces during a Trump rally

Going viral and becoming a meme is pretty easy in the age of Trump: Just stand behind The Orange One at his rallies and — this part's key — make silly faces during his speech.

Doing so will turn all eyeballs from The Donald to you. It'll also get your removed from the rally courtesy of the Secret Service. But, worth it!

SEE ALSO: Sia's story of meeting Donald Trump on 'SNL' comes with a crappy twist ending

This is exactly what happened when Tyler Linfesty attended a Trump rally in Montana on Sept. 6. He quickly became immortalized on the internet as "Plaid Shirt Guy" after he was spotted visibly reacting to the president's words just behind his right shoulder.

So about the man in the plaid shirt standing behind Trump at his Montana rally last night who was switched out midway through. It appears the reason is that he was mocking Trump. Here he is mouthing “what?!?” in response to Trump’s ranting commentary:pic.twitter.com/XFHM5CTHri

Weirdest thing just happened at Trump rally in Montana. The guy in plaid shirt behind Trump must not hv been cheering enough so a woman walked up and asked him to move and She took his spot #inners #maddow #LastWord pic.twitter.com/pTOq2kBwgb

— Kikkay (@NikkisBubble) September 7, 2018

"Some people thought I was being disrespectful – I was not planning to be disrespectful," Linfesty told ABC Fox Montana. "Some people thought I was part of a conspiracy theory, like I was planted there, my friends were planted there — I was not planted there."

Linfesty says he was just there to meet Trump, shake his hand, and take a photo with him.

"I was just there to see the president and I had my natural reactions when I thought he said something I disagreed with, I visibly disagreed," says Linfesty.

Linfesty was removed from the event mid-way through Trump's speech, after which the Secret Service asked him to leave — and not come back — according to CNN.

You can see him being whisked away right at the 50:45 mark in the entire video below:

"I think I know why they removed me. It’s because, well before the rally they told us that ‘you have to be enthusiastic, you have to be clapping, you have to be cheering for Donald Trump,’ and I wasn’t doing that because I wasn’t enthusiastic, I wasn’t happy with what he was saying."

Whatever, man! The Internet has deemed you meme-worthy. Just look at how many people you made happy:
