In honor of Veteran's Day, we're taking a look back at some of the most famous people who have served in the military.

Some stars, such as Chuck Norris or Elvis Presley, were famously in the armed forces — while others may come as more of a surprise.

Check out 23 icons who served in the armed forces, including a baseball great, two famous reclusive novelists, and one "Golden Girl."

This report was also written by Jennifer Michalski.

Comedian Drew Carey started performing stand-up comedy during his six years in the Marines.

In 1981, Drew Carey entered the US Marine Corps Reserve, a stint that lasted six years.

It was during his service that he first started performing stand-up comedy.

"While in the Marine Reserves, I was looking for a way to make some more money, and it was suggested that I try using my jokes," he later said.

Carey, who teamed up with the United Services Organization, has since visited military bases in Iraq to perform comedy for troops stationed there.

Hugh Hefner got his start in publishing while in the US Army.

Before Playboy existed, Hefner had a successful career in the military.

In 1944, after graduating high school, Hefner enlisted in the Army as an infantry clerk.

He frequently contributed cartoons for various military newspapers before he was discharged in 1946. 

Bea Arthur was a typist and truck driver in the Marines.

Before she landed a lead role in "Golden Girls," Bea Arthur served in the Marine Corps. 

Though she once flat-out denied it, The Smoking Gun dug up files proving the actress had served 30 months in the Marines as a typist and truck driver.

According to a personal account detailing her reasons for joining, a then 21-year-old Arthur said she "heard ... that enlistments for women in the Marines were open, so decided the only thing to do was to join."

On a personality-appraisal sheet, Arthur was described as both argumentative and frank. 

She was initially a typist in Washington D.C., and was then sent to air stations in Virginia and North Carolina. Arthur was honorably discharged in 1945 with the title of staff sergeant.

Aziz Ansari is on a tear about diversity representation in Hollywood. He presents the problems in his new Netflix series, "Master of None," but he's also been talking it up elsewhere in the media. Ansari would like to see more minorities cast in TV shows and movies.

Ansari just wrote an article for the New York Times in which he tracks down the actor whose role had left a huge impression on a young Ansari. He played the first Indian character Ansari ever saw in an American film: scientist Benjamin Jarhvi in "Short Circuit 2."

"Seeing an Indian character in a lead role had a powerful effect on me, but it was only as I got older that I realized what an anomaly it was," the actor wrote. "I rarely saw any Indians on TV or film, except for brief appearances as a cabdriver or a convenience store worker literally servicing white characters who were off to more interesting adventures. This made 'Short Circuit 2' special."

Imagine Ansari's disappointment when he found out in college that a white actor named Fisher Stevens played the role of Benjamin.

"As a child, I thought the villain of the film was Oscar Baldwin, the banker who tricks Johnny 5 into helping him commit a jewel heist," he said. "As an adult, I thought the bad guy was actually Mr. Stevens, who mocked my ethnicity."

For the article, Ansari tracked down Stevens to find out how he felt about the deception. Turns out, he hadn't taken the role lightly. At first, Stevens was cast as a white graduate student, but the character was changed to an Indian scientist. He studied with a dialect coach, read R.K. Narayan’s “The Guide” and Hermann Hesse’s “Siddhartha,” took yoga, and lived in India for a month ahead of shooting.

Ansari concluded, "After a long conversation, I can confirm Mr. Stevens is not a villain, but was, when he took the role, a well-intentioned if slightly misguided young actor who needed a job during a more culturally insensitive time."

In fact, Stevens said he wouldn't accept the role if offered it today.

Ansari wasn't done righting the non-diverse ship that is entertainment. He appeared on Tuesday's "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and was happy to announce that by sharing the stage with the "Parks and Recreation" star, Colbert had a "50 percent diversity rate."

"Like an all-time high for CBS!" the actor joked.

And when Colbert got the name of Ansari's romance book wrong, Ansari suggested that someone is going to be fired. To which Colbert answered, "My God, I hope it's a white guy."

Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner both debuted in the Victoria's Secret runway show Tuesday evening, and the 20-year-old best friends were fierce.

The models' number one fans — their moms — were in the audience to support them. And both Yolanda Foster, mother of Gigi, and Kris Jenner, mother of Kendall, could not have been more proud.

"She does her own thing. I mean, maybe in the beginning I would give her tips, but you know, they have to figure it out on their own and what feels good and right to them," Foster said before the show. "She's her own being and she's figuring things out on her own."

Kris Jenner posted a photo of her daughter on Instagram with the caption: "So incredible!! Beyond proud of you @kendalljenner #dreamsdocometrue #proudmama."

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs December 8th on CBS.

Kate Winslet would prefer not to join the group of actors publicly speaking about the Hollywood gender wage gap.

In an interview for BBC's Newsbeat, Winslet said, "I'm having such a problem with these conversations. I understand why they are coming up but maybe it's a British thing. I don't like talking about money; it's a bit vulgar isn't it?"

The Oscar-winning actress said she was "surprised" by the debate and doesn't believe it's a "very nice conversation to have publicly at all." 

The debate surrounding the wage gap has been a hot-button topic recently, with Jennifer Lawrence writing an essay criticizing the disparity and Bradley Cooper announcing his plan to help his female co-stars negotiate salaries by sharing his salary information.

Winslet, who is currently starring in Steve Jobs, refused to respond to comments made by other actors around the topic, saying it would be "dangerous." She also denied having ever experienced sexism in the industry.

"And if I'd ever been in that situation I would have either dealt with it or removed myself from it," she said. "I find all this quite uncomfortable. I haven't ever felt that I've really had to stick up for myself just because I'm a woman."

Gigi Hadid rocked the Victoria's Secret runway at their annual show, but getting there wasn't easy.

Hadid's mom, Yolanda Foster, revealed to the Daily Mail: "She's missed it twice, this was her third try and she pulled it off and got a spot that millions of beautiful women deserve as much as she does. That's a part of the game though." 

The 20-year-old model had to work for her wings, which many believe mark the pinnacle of a model's career.

"She has worked really hard; this didn't just fall into her lap," Foster added.

Hadid's reality star mom is proud of her daughter's success, saying she has watched Hadid's audition tape "a hundred times."

"I keep crying every time I see it, because her reaction was just so sweet!" Foster gushed. "It was probably one of the highlights of a mother's life."

When actress Reese Witherspoon received one of Glamour's Women of the Year awards, she used the spotlight to give a passionate speech about female ambition and the gender wage gap.

"I think we are in a cultural crisis in every field, in every industry," Witherspoon told the crowded room at Carnegie Hall. "Women are underrepresented and underpaid in leadership positions."

She continued by citing hard facts. "Under 5% of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are women. Only 19% of Congress is women," she said. "No wonder we don't have the healthcare we deserve. Or paid family leave. Or public access to early childhood education. And that really worries me."

She then urged the audience to ask themselves "what do we do now?"

One thing is certain though, she believes there's nothing wrong with being ambitious and asking for more. 

"I believe ambition is not a dirty word. It's just believing in yourself and your abilities," Witherspoon concluded.

To try and help alleviate this issue in the film industry, Witherspoon launched her own production company, called Pacific Standard Films, which is devoted to finding better roles for women.

"Saturday Night Live" released a bizarre sketch on Wednesday that did not air when real-estate mogul Donald Trump hosted the show last weekend.

The video featured a comedic imagination of what the Pentagon would have to grapple with in a future Trump administration after the 2016 presidential election.

"President Donald Trump is in trouble," an actor portraying a general declared in the sketch.

"At 2 p.m. today, he will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Red Square. It is vital to our national-security interests that this meeting proceed without incident," he continued. "Unfortunately, we have intel that forces outside our control could strike." 

"What is it, general? Chechen separatists?" asked another actor, portraying a Navy SEAL.

"ISIL?" inquired another, referring to the Islamic State group.

"Worse," the general replied, pausing for dramatic effect. "Wind." 

"Oh my God! Wind! His hair will blow!" a third SEAL exclaimed.

The SEAL team then miniaturized itself and formed "Scalp Team 6" to defend President Trump's hair.

Here they are landing on Trump's head before he meets Russian President Vladimir Putin:

Then the SEALs battle the elements on Trump's head:

The whole thing is truly bizarre and a number of soldiers die on the 'suicide mission.'

The first trailer for "Finding Dory," the long-awaited sequel to "Finding Nemo," is finally here, a full 13 years after the original came out. However, the story of "Finding Dory" takes place just six months after the events of the first film. 

As the title suggests, "Finding Dory is centered on Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), rather than Nemo. Dory is now living with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo. For the first time in her life, Dory's memory is beginning to come back, which sends her on a quest to find her family.

Idris Elba, Ty Burrell, and Diane Keaton will star as new characters in the film, which will be in theaters on June 17, 2016.

It turns out Amy Schumer's "tiny" one-bedroom Upper West Side Manhattan co-op isn't actually so tiny.

Though the comedian joked not too long ago about how, despite her fame, she still lives in a one-bedroom walk-up apartment, she neglected to mention that it was also a penthouse.

It's located on the top floor of beautiful brownstone building, steps from the Museum of Natural History and a block away from Central Park.

It looks like Schumer will be trading up in real estate after she landed a book deal worth between $8 million and $10 million this year. Schumer is quietly listing the apartment for $2.075 million, as was first reported by the New York Post.

Compass Real Estate will reportedly carry the listing.

The apartment is no typical New York shoe box — it's actually a penthouse on the top floor of an Upper West Side brownstone.

A gorgeous stone entryway with a wooden door allows entrance into the five-unit co-op building.

Schumer wasn't kidding about the walk-up, however. The apartment is on the fifth floor, and there's no elevator. At least the hallways are nice.

Since at least the time of Shakespeare, people have been wondering whether a name does, in fact, make something smell sweeter.

There's no denying that your name can affect the way you are perceived by others, and seeing the way this plays out in situations like dating is fascinating.

So which names do people find most attractive?

Dating app The Grade crunched the data on around 100,000 users and came up with a list of the most desired names for both men and women. To do this, they looked at the percentage of "yes" or "no" swipes for a given name (the app's interface is similar to Tinder).

They also looked at what names those people were likely to match with (i.e. Aprils tend to match with Toms).

Women's names Brianna, Erika, and Lexi took the top spots, while Brett, Tyler, and Corey headed up the mens section. And special congratulations to Zachary and Zack (and Jeff and Jeffrey), with both variations cracking the top 15.

Here are the 15 hottest female names:

Spotify has already brought its deep artificial intelligence chops to playlists with “Discover Weekly,” a personalized playlist that updates each week and is eerily good at picking songs you’ll like. Since its debut in July, this playlist has quickly become a cult favorite, and inspired people on Twitter to freak out if it doesn’t update every Monday morning.

Now Spotify is building on that success by using its AI to give you a different set of recommendations: concerts.

On Thursday, Spotify released a new “Concerts” feature that will analyze your listening habits and tell you which concerts around you it thinks you will like. You will then be able to buy tickets for the show. 

If you are traveling, you can also click “Change Location” and browse concerts happening anywhere in the world.

Spotify isn’t the only streaming giant to dip its toe into the concert market. Last month, Pandora acquired high-tech ticketing agency Ticketfly for $450 million. The two companies say they are seeking to "create the world’s most efficient platform for connecting listeners with live shows from their favorite bands."

That sounds a lot like what Spotify is trying to build as well. We’ll see who does it better. Spotify is partnering with concert-tracking service Songkick for this feature.

“Concerts” will begin to roll out to Spotify users today.

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly confronted business mogul Donald Trump over his support for a decades-old deportation program during an interview that aired Wednesday night.

"That was brutal what they did to those people to kick them back to [Mexico]. The stuff they did was really brutal. It could never happen today," O'Reilly told the leading Republican presidential candidate.

Trump frequently touts former President Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower's mass-deportation program as a sign that his own plan is realistic.

During Tuesday's Fox Business Network Debate, Trump declared that the Eisenhower program "moved a million and a half illegal immigrants out of this country." Trump wants to deport every single person living in the US illegally through a humane "deportation force," and then allow the "wonderful cases" back into the country.

But that Eisenhower program has a dark history — including its name, "Operation Wetback," a derogatory slur. And according to CNN, the 1950s-era transfer process resulted in a number of Mexican migrants dying along the way.

Trump told O'Reilly that Eisenhower's mass-deportation effort actually had mixed reviews.

"I've heard it both ways. I've heard good reports. I've heard bad reports. We would do it in a very humane way," he said.

O'Reilly then confronted Trump over the legality of his plan.

"I back you on the wall," O'Reilly said. "But I also don't think you could deport these people, because the federal courts would stop you. And they would say each person that President Trump wants to deport has to have due process. So in the year 2050, you would finally get around to it."

"Bill, they're here illegally," Trump insisted.

"Doesn't matter. The Supreme Court would absolutely rule they all have to have due process because they're on American soil. You know that," O'Reilly said.

Trump shifted the conversation to automatic birthright citizenship, a topic he and O'Reilly have debated in the past. O'Reilly and most legal experts believe the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to everyone born on US soil, but Trump says they have it wrong.

"Do you remember when you said about the 'anchor babies,' that there's nothing you could do about it. And I said, 'Yes there is.' And I was right about it," Trump recalled.

"No you weren't," O'Reilly replied.

NOW WATCH: This woman got a prime seat at a Trump rally, and spent the whole time reading a book about racism

British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, 38, had been a steadily working character actor for most of his career until he scored the lead in 2013’s “12 Years a Slave,” and shifted higher up the Hollywood food chain as his powerful performance led to a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

Since then, he's had a major role in the fall hit “The Martian,” and he co-stars opposite Julia Roberts in the upcoming thriller “Secret in Their Eyes” (in theaters November 20). He’s also currently shooting the upcoming Marvel adaptation “Doctor Strange,” in which he plays the evil Baron Mordo.

The roles for Ejiofor have come fast since “12 Years a Slave,” but Hollywood is only slowly addressing a lack of wide representation in its movies.

Ejiofor’s character in “The Martian,” NASA's Mars mission director, was of Asian descent in the book it’s based on, which led to the movie being criticized by the Media Action Network for Asian Americans. (On the other hand, Baron Mordo in the comics is a white man.)

So is Hollywood finally addressing its diversity issue?

“It’s too early to tell,” Ejiofor told Business Insider on Tuesday from the set of "Doctor Strange." “I feel these things will probably be judged generationally. When we look back at this time in cinema, we’ll be able to understand a bit more whether diversity was addressed in any way, or if things improved from the ‘90s and the 2000s. It’s hard to say.”

Ejiofor said one thing that makes him believe there has been progress is the casting for “The Martian.”

“I feel the film is a great example and a very successful example, I think, of diversity in cinema. Though I suppose one isn’t going to please absolutely everyone,” said Ejiofor, referring to the complaint by MANAA.

African-American, Mexican, Asian, and female characters make up many of the lead roles in “The Martian,” which has been one of the most successful films of the fall, having grossed over $450 million worldwide. 

“I think it was great to have so much diversity in that film, and that film being so successful, it is a prototype for how films can do that more. It was something I was personally very gratified with.”

It's the great Starbucks Holiday Cup Debate of 2015, and it seems everyone is weighing in on the new plain red cups.

High-profile people such as Donald Trump have weighed in on the issue, arguing that Starbucks has removed Christmas from its cups, and Stephen Colbert understands why.

"I can see why people might be all frothed up about this," he said on the "Late Show" Wednesday night. "Now Starbucks is completely devoid of any trace of the holiday besides the Christmas tree ornaments, advent calendars, CDs of Christmas music, Christmas-themed gift cards, Christmas cookies, and giant displays of their Christmas Blend coffee." 

But Colbert offered up his own solution, "a cup crammed so full of Christmas, they'll be picking tinsel out of their Yule Log for months." He presented his own ornament- and tinsel-covered cup, complete with a manger scene hot-glued to the lid.

But Colbert's Christmas cheeer didn't stop there. Nothing says Christmas quite like a cup sitting at the top of an entire Christmas tree.  

While bringing his festive solution, Colbert brought up a widely viewed rant about the Starbucks cups and, in doing so, inadvertently created a new insult that is sure to gain traction this holiday season — "Paul Blart: Mall Bro."

On the eve of the release of his new album, "Purpose," Justin Bieber is having the best year of his career. "What Do You Mean?" is his first song to ever hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and "Sorry" would have been the second if it hadn't come out on the same day as Adele's first single in three years.

This isn't a case of Bieber simply growing up — he's been grown up for a while, and his last two albums were both solidly post-teeny bopper. "Journals" in particular was a bona fide R&B album that fell outside the pop mainstream.

So no, this isn't our first look at "adult" Bieber, but it is our first look at a Bieber that's tailoring his sound for mainstream pop. Bieber changed his sound this year, producing dance-pop in the vein of the "tropical house" genre that grew out of electronic dance music, and is a mix of electro and Caribbean vibes.

This transition was facilitated by none other than Skrillex, the electronic music mastermind who has become a close Bieber collaborator. He put Bieber on "Where Are U Now?," and the unlikely dance hit introduced the ex-tween sensation to a brand new audience. Skrillex went on to produce four songs on "Purpose."

Bieber is now running with this new sound, and taking over the world in the process.

A video from YouTube channel Kurzgesagt is accusing actor and R&B singer/songwriter Tyrese Gibson of taking videos from other content creators without permission and uploading them to his Facebook page.

One video the former model posted back in October — "The best Halloween costume ever!!!" — was viewed 89 million times on his Facebook page.

Gibson supposedly took the video from YouTube without asking the original content creator. The issue with using people's content without permission is that it means the original content creator won't receive exposure or the associated ad revenue they would have generated had those views occurred on YouTube. 

The Kurzgesagt video says Gibson is not the only one who does this. "A whole group of people have built their online presence around stealing other people's work," Kurzgesagt writes. 

What makes Gibson's example stand out is that not only is he allegedly stealing other people's work, but it appears he has been using the videos to advertise his own, unrelated product. 

After Gibson uploads the video, he adds a link to the post, which directs users to buy his latest album on iTunes.

To reach 86 million people via a Facebook ad, Gibson would have needed to pay thousands of dollars (assuming an average CPM of $0.25.) But by using people's videos seemingly without permission, he's getting all that exposure for free.

It's not clear what Facebook is doing about it, either — this isn't the first time Gibson has been accused of taking other people's videos and uploading them to his Facebook page. 

Business Insider has contacted Facebook and Tyrese Gibson's talent agency, Red Entertainment, for comment.

While many of Gibson's recent videos uploaded to Facebook appear to be ones he stars in or those he has filmed himself, Business Insider spotted several instances where he had posted what appears to be video content taken from elsewhere.

Like this rhino headbutting a warthog (also found here on YouTube):

And this penguin meme (also found here on YouTube):

Facebook said in the summer it had recently been taking steps to crack down on copyright infringement on the platform.

It uses a technology called Audible Magic to detect copyright-infringing videos, and it has a mechanism where users can flag freebooted videos.

Facebook said it was making improvements to its procedures to make it easier to remove infringing content and to keep repeat infringers off the platform.

A California judge threw away a copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift by using Swift's own lyrics.

Musician Jessie Braham filed the suit claiming that Swift took lyrics from his song "Haters Gone Hate" and used them in her song "Shake It Off," the lead single from her hit "1989" album. 

In her dismissal of the case, District Court Judge Gail Standish borrowed words from Swift's songs "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Blank Space." 

"At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them," she wrote.  

She continued, "As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space—one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. And, upon consideration of the Court's explanation ... Braham may discover that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit."

Standish ruled that Braham did not provide enough factual evidence, according to CNN, and if he corrects the problems in his lawsuit, he could file a new copyright complaint.

Here is the judge's order:

Will Smith's controversial new film, "Concussion," explores a real cover-up in the NFL.

Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, who discovered a deadly brain trauma that many NFL players were suffering from. 

At the film's premiere, Smith discussed the biggest revelation in "Concussion."

According to Smith, "The thing that was a revelation for me with this is that it's not really the big hits that are the problem, it's definitely an issue, but more the issue is the repetitive head trauma."

"One of the statistics in the film is that by Dr. Omalu's calculations, Mike Webster sustained more than 70,000 blows to his head from the time he was a young man through his high school and college, and his 18-year professional career," Smith said. "So the repetitive head trauma is more the issue, and that's sort of the revelation that comes out in the film."

"Concussion" comes out in theaters on December 25th, 2015.
