Kristen Bell has a special trick to prevent pruney pool fingers

TwitterFacebook

Nothing comes in between Kristen Bell and a Sunday dip in the pool — not even her hatred of those weird, pruney fingers we all get when our hands are exposed to water for too long. 

Heat wave be damned, the actress was caught on Instagram with something that is normally reserved for blizzards not pool days: gloves. 

“My bride wears gloves in the pool because she hates the feeling of pruney finger tips on skin,” her husband, actor Dax Shepard, wrote on Instagram.

Dude builds massive backyard water slide, and of course he got into trouble for it

TwitterFacebook

It’s a theme park experience in the comfort of your own home.

An Australian man’s mammoth backyard waterslide has raised the ire of local authorities, who are concerned that it poses a safety risk.

Luke Newton from Perth picked up the three-lane slide, which measures 12 metres (13 yards) long and rises 4.5 metres (4.92 yards) high for free from an old “indoor play centre,” according to The West Australian

He installed it adjacent to his backyard pool, where it’s received plenty of attention online — and from the locals.
