- The Levitating Boy
Walker Stillman sure knows how to make a jump shot look effortless. So much so, that a picture of the Illinois high school basketball player going up for a rebound, has gone viral with talk that Stillman is ‘levitating.’ People began calling him everything from “float boy” to “Jesus.” In fact, the photo got so much attention that the school released video of the play to prove the picture wasn’t edited – and that Stillman isn’t capable of levitating.
- The Motivational Snapchatter
DJ Khaled is more than just a DJ. He wants to give you the major key to success. He wants you to follow him on the path to more success. And lastly, he wants you to celebrate success the right way with Apple Ciroc after a long day at work. Khaled offers fans snippets of advice to life’s everyday trivialities, utilizing the key emoji (?), which has since exploded in popularity. Even the White House is in on the fun, quoting Khaled on their Snapchat and featuring him in a promotional video for Obamacare. His snapchat: djkhaled305.

Along the way, there are a host of hilarious mini-games including one where you have to get Leo’s avatar to “cry hard enough” in order to earn the prize. We’ll find out if DiCaprio is able to snag the Oscar in real life this Sunday. He’s up for Best Actor in the film, The Revenant, February 28.
