Kris Jenner In Paris -  June 11, 2015Kylie Jenner may be a typical teenager, which involves sometimes butting heads with your mom (as we've seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians). At the end of the day, though, Kris Jenner is still Kylie's #Momgoals, which we didn't even know was a thing, but now that it is we love it because moms are awesome.

"Damn ma! I hope I look this good at ur fine age #momgoals," the 17-year-old captioned this split shot of her 59-year-old mom looking sexy as hell, if we're being totally honest. Werk, Kris!

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it...and Kris has DEFINITELY got it!

We have to say, too, while we've spent so much time studying Kendall, Kylie, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's style, we could be top scholars on the subject, Kris' style game is often overlooked and it is STRONG.

Seriously, it is quite possible that Kris could become our favorite new fashion muse.

This Is How Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris Make Their Relationship Work

Taylor Swift and Calvin HarrisTaylor Swift is pretty much the busiest person in the world right now, so how in the heck does she have time to boo love up on Calvin Harris and hold the fort down? Let's just say it involves a lot of dedication...and money!

An insider recently told E! News that the loved-up duo "are spending every free day they have together" before T.Swift continues on her sold-out world tour. She's currently on a tour break, and we have seen the proof of their hangouts all over her Instagram.

Don't think Tay doesn't see her man in-between her shows when they're going down, though. "Whenever she has a break in her tour, she flies on her private jet to meet up with him," the source shared, dishing that the two opt for low-key nights in "ordering takeout" and such.

"Taylor feels very safe and secure with Calvin so she usually doesn't have her bodyguard around if Calvin is over," they were told. "Sometimes she will leave for a few hours and go on a hike with friends or go to a business meeting, but they always meet up again later in the day."

We've all been there, and know that the first few months of dating are the best. It's totally the time you try to hang out the most...no matter what. So it makes sense that Tay and Cal are hanging out like whoa.

She actually kicks off the European leg of her tour on June 19 through the end of the month, and then on July 6 she is performing around the country until mid-December. Girl is bus-ay!

E!'s source added, "She is planning on having Calvin join her in certain cities and also will be bringing him to her beach house in Rhode Island."

Is Sally Hansen's Big Peel Off Base Coat a Miracle for Your Nails?

sally hansen big peel off base coatI'll admit it: I'm a nail polish hoarder. If you ever catch me in the wild without nail polish on, something is wrong. Since I spend all my money on coffee and hair dye, going to get my nails done on the reg isn't in my budget. And some of my favorite polishes are glitters - and we all know - we KNOW how annoying it is to get that stuff off our nails when it's time for a change.

So I was eager to try Sally Hansen's new product, the Big Peel Off Base Coat, which promises to not only help prevent the rough effect of textured polishes and removers on nails, but simplify the removal process in one swift movement. That's a tall order, y'all. But does it work? Here's what happened when I tried it.

I was having a guest visit me from Portland for a few days, and I didn't have time to fuss with difficult nail polish applications/removals, so it was a great time to try out the base coat along with one of Sally Hansen's new Insta-Ombre polish in "Fuchsia-Nista."

The base coat was supposed to dry quickly in a "transparent finish," and it did live up to the quick part of the deal. However, I noticed that it clumped in parts of my nail beds and had to redo a couple nails. Anything beyond a thin layer makes this weirdness happen:
sally hansen peel off base coatAfter peeling that off and reapplying, the coat dried quickly as promised. The Insta-Ombre polish was a three-step, simple ordeal: Apply a coat all over the nail, then a second coat from mid-nail to tip, then a third coat to only the nail tip. Done and done.

While I don't really think the ombre was effective, the glitter was a pretty shade. My friend said the shade was "uneven" and didn't look like an ombre, and I agree. The next time I try the glitter ombre, I'll have to do more coats than just the suggested three.

According to the instructions, I should've been able to enjoy the polish/base coat until I was ready to take it off. However, I was very disappointed that it didn't turn out that way. Less than a day later, I noticed the edges were already chipping, and the chipping led to peeling.

What a bummer, y'all! After making last-minute lunch plans, I rushed home and tried to peel off the rest of the polish. It didn't come off in "one swift movement," but it did come off easier than battling with the cruel nature of glitter + acetone remover. I was able to remove all remnants and paint my nails with a basic color, just in time to make it to my lunch date.
sally hansen big peel off base coat insta ombre removalWhile the Big Peel Off Base Coat is pretty handy, I can't say I'd use it if I want my look to last more than an evening without chipping. I was cool with the fact that my nails didn't feel wrecked after the glitter removal, and they looked pretty smooth. Overall I recommend it, especially for the fair price of $6 at your local drugstore.

Adam Lippes Target plaid collab
Target designer collab-loving fashionistas have a lot to look forward to in the coming months - not only will Eddie Borgo x Target be hitting stores next month, but ICYMI, the retailer just announced a second collaboration for this fall: Adam Lippes for Target.

The collection is going to be a part of what Target calls an upcoming "Epic. Plaid. Takeover." in its stores this fall, which will even include things like plaid Band-Aids and Coke cans. Adam will be creating over 50 items inspired by the pattern, including the usual apparel and accessories along with some more surprising pieces. Come fall, you'll even be able to dress your dog in Adam Lippes x Target!
Adam Lippes designer
Lippes, who started his own line in 2007 with a relaunch in 2012, is an interesting designer for Target to tap for the collab. The designer is generally known and loved by his fans for his understated, subtle clothes like the floral dresses and cashmere sweaters featured in his Fall 2015 collection. It's worth noting that the designer did show some major love to plaid back in Fall 2014 - with insanely chic results.

Based on what we've seen from Adam Lippes on the runway, we're pretty psyched to see what he does for Target this fall - this is definitely one we'll be waiting in line for.

Nicholas Kirkwood Dinner Hosted By Emma Roberts And Jake ShearsWe had a feeling something was up.

Emma Roberts has been popping up at events without her engagement ring on for months, most recently at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic last week...and now the reason is clear.

The American Horror Story star and her costar Evan Peters have called off their engagement, according to Just Jared. "Their three years together just ran its course," a source told the site. "They have so many great memories together but couldn't make it work in the end. The break-up was amicable - there was no drama whatsoever. Emma and Evan are even still friends!"

Emma and Evan not only made a cute couple, but they also seemed to be really into each other. It's a little sad to hear about their split, but, at least, they're still cordial. With any break-up, that's always a plus.

Evan and Emma started dating in 2012 and got engaged over the holidays in 2014. At least we have the memories.



Best. Yearbook. Quotes. Ever. You Can Quote Us on That!

$

The graduating class of 2015 is really killing it with their yearbook quotes - they're making me wish I could go back in time and come up with something nearly as clever. There are so many ways you can make a yearbook quote stand out, but these four girls have really outdone themselves. Not only are their yearbook quotes funny and super sassy, they also remind us of social issues facing not only teens, but the entire world. Check out what each student had to say in their yearbooks that made their quote go completely viral:

1. Caitlyn Cannon, The LGBT Feminist

I want to high-five this high school senior so badly right now - she has officially made so many Ferris Bueller and Eleanor Roosevelt quotes look just so "been there, done that." Caitlyn Cannon of Oak Hills High School in California chose a quote that both spoke to her and highlighted a women's rights issue. Here's the epic quote:

Caitlyn, who identifies as "really gay" on her Twitter bio, is referencing the often-cited gender wage gap, which shows that, statistically, women make about three quarters of what men do overall. Caitlyn jokes that she'll never be able to find a woman as wealthy as a man because of it. She's also poking fun at certain women who claim that they "don't need feminism" because they're planning on just marrying rich, which is awful on pretty much every level. I wish I was that clever when I was in high school.

2. Fatima Abdel-Gwad, The Harry Potter Fan

Harry Potter quotes aren't anything new in the yearbook game, but 17-year-old senior Fatima Abdel-Gwad totally flipped the script with this amazing Harry Potter inspired quote. It'll definitely make you think of more than just Hogwarts.

Here's what Fatima wrote in her yearbook, which went viral after she shared it on her Tumblr account:

I hate having to explain to everyone why I wear a hijab, but if everyone must know: Voldemort has possessed me and his face is living on the back of my head.

The Harry Potter fan is referencing the moment when it is revealed that Quirinus Quirrell has been sharing his body with He Who Must Not Be Named, but she's also commenting on how people are less than sensitive when asking about her hijab, which she wears as a practicing Muslim. As we all know, people aren't always so polite when asking about something that they perceive as different, and from Fatima's yearbook quote it seems that she's gotten questions about what's up with her hijab too many times to count.

There's always a polite way to ask someone about their cultural background, and hopefully Fatima's quote reminds people to use tact when asking someone about their culture or religion... not to mention remind us that, no matter how different we are, we all love Harry Potter.

3. Chloe Cross, The Dress Code Crusader

Every day I seem to find another story of a ridiculous dress code standard imposed by schools that applies exclusively to the female population. The standards of dress for young women are worthy of some major Liz Lemon-esque eye roll action all on their own (really, what's so terrible about spaghetti straps?!) but the reasoning behind them is even worse. Girls who show their body are labeled a "distraction" to their other students, specifically boys who apparently can't help but stare at their classmates. Student Chloe Cross of San Mateo High School in California knows how ridiculous this idea is, and even called out her school's dress code in her epic yearbook quote.

Bye!

A photo posted by Chloë Niccole (@chloe_niccole) on

Pretty amazing, right? Chloe, who describes herself on social media as a "model/actress," already has over 1,300 likes on her Instagram picture of the yearbook quote, which is going viral for all the right reasons. Hopefully her sassy quote will remind everyone that it's never okay to police young women's bodies, especially for something as sexist as saying that their bodies will be a "distraction" for male students.

4. Rafika Alami, The Confidence Queen

Like Fatima, Rafika Alami also wears a hijab, a head scarf worn by some Muslim women. Rafika wears her hijab for religious and cultural purposes, but maybe there's another reason, too - at least, that's what she joked about for her yearbook quote. Here's what Rafika put underneath her senior portrait, which featured her wearing her hijab:

Apparently Rafika's hair is so magical that she can't not cover it up - it would be a huge distraction for the rest of her classmates that her fellow ladies wouldn't even get looked at. I also imagine that the reason for Rafika's quote was because people do ask her about her hijab pretty frequently, and it can't be fun to constantly field answers about something so personal. This is the perfect confident and sassy response to shut down the questions while still making us chuckle. I know you graduated, Rafika, but you've officially earned your final A+ for this quote.

Adam Levine Admits Wedding Crashing in "Sugar" Video Was Staged

Oh...you thought that was real?

Okay, so did we. Adam Levine admitted that some - probably most - of the wedding crashing scenes in Maroon 5's "Sugar" video weren't exactly authentic. "I do want to clear up something about the video," he told The National. "Half of the weddings we crashed and the other half were set up." This, as you might imagine, killed our dreams for our future weddings.

"We did that to cover our bases and to make sure we had all the footage," he continued. "I would say 65 percent of the video was real. It was crazy and a lot of fun." This isn't that much of a surprise, though, considering how perfect just about every wedding-crashing moment was captured.

While we doubt anyone would've said 'Is that Maroon 5? They've got to go' when the group popped up at several weddings and performed, there had to be at least one person in the room asking why there were shadows moving behind a huge white sheet that shielded the group from being discovered. Of course, none of that was in the video.
Still, Adam said back in January, shooting the video was "an out of body experience," adding, "I had no idea I would be affected by the overwhelming reactions we received from the couples and guests. Being able to create an unforgettable experience for several people was the highlight of it all."

Basically, he had an idea of how he would be affected, but, we still can't get enough of this song or the video. Here it is again for your enjoyment.

Making her way amongst the glamorous crowd of Hollywood's elite was none other than Instagram queen and self-proclaimed hot mama Baddie Winkle.

Throughout the night, Baddie got right in where she fit in amongst Litchfield's finest, snapping pics with the show's stars Taylor Schilling, Lea DeLaria and Emma Myles, as well as OITNB newcomer Ruby Rose.

Thanks to the fierce confidence she displays in her unapologetically flawless Instagram feed, the 86-year-old social media celebrity has amassed quite the famous fan base. Whether she's throwing up the peace sign for the camera, showing off her latest fashions or striking a sexy poolside pose for Dimepiece's "State of Mind" campaign, Baddie is clearly all about being comfortable in her own skin, and apparently the time she spent mingling with the OITNB cast was no different. With her larger-than-life personality, we're just waiting on the day Baddie makes her acting debut. In fact, her star power would increase at light speed if the OITNB creators were kind enough to write in a role for the feisty twerking grandma. Seriously, guys - we would be totally excited to see Baddie nab her very own bunk and jumpsuit for the show's upcoming season.

In today's Britney Spears news: the pop star managed to, once again, make us love her even more.

The 33-year-old is obviously killing it in the career world right now, but if she wasn't a world famous singer, what would she want to be? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's nanny - which would be no small task, given that they have SIX kids!

"I've met Brad Pitt once, but I'd like to meet the family again," she told Good Morning Britain. "And I'd like to become their nanny...that sounds fun to me!"

Turns out, the "Work B**ch" singer has been a longtime Brad fan and totally fangirled when she first met him 10 years ago at the Teen Choice Awards.

"He had really long hair. I completely died. I ran. I was dressed in high heels [and I ran] towards him! Like an idiot, I ran to him and I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm the biggest fan.'" she told Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Show. "I kind of lost my mind for a second...I was so uncool. It wasn't cool at all!"

We can't ever imagine Britney being "uncool," but coming face to face with this would kinda make you lose your mind for a minute.

World Premiere Of When it comes to celebrities who perform heart-melting acts of kindness for their fans, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has easily made his way to the top of the list of professional charmers. If he didn't completely win your heart with his energetic lip-syncing rendition of Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" or when he conducted a surprise wedding ceremony for one of his biggest fans, then watching The Rock's adorable interaction with a 2-year-old named Kai will have you clutching your chest and sighing aloud. In an Instagram video shared by the San Andreas star, he's hanging out on the set of his new film Central Intelligence with the tenacious tot who is convinced that she can pull an airplane with no assistance.

Instead of giving her the ol' "Uh, sure kid," and dismissing her with a tender pat on the head, The Rock went along with Kai's plan by pulling the plane himself while letting her believe her super powers were responsible for the feat.

Not only was this one of the sweetest gestures ever, but The Rock may have accidentally discovered the world's next wrestling star. Who knows if Kai has a future as the next "People's Champion," but she's already off to a great start. With The Rock as her mentor, she'll be pulling airplanes, executing death-defying moves and charming everyone she meets in no time.


Here's Why You Might Want To Upgrade Your Carry-On Luggage Soon

airplane in skyIf you thought the packing for vacation struggle was real, then prepare for more potential travel stresses. According to Fast Company, the International Air Transport Association intends to "shrink the size of carry-on baggage by 21%," which means millions of travelers might be forced to upgrade their travel accessories before embarking upon their next getaway. That's certainly easier to deal with than being booted off a plane because your baby is crying or having your oxygen mask drop for no apparent reason, but smaller dimensions for carry-on luggage could have some long-reaching effects if all major airlines get on board with the new voluntary guidelines. Aside from making it increasingly harder to decide which pair of shoes to stuff in your luggage, the website points out that this could potentially impact boarding times and increase the likelihood of travelers paying those pesky baggage fees.

While this only makes us daydream even harder about owning a private plane and traveling in luxurious peace, the IATA senior vice president for airport, passenger, cargo, and security Tom Windmuller released a statement that outlines the advantages of the guidelines. "The development of an agreed optimal cabin bag size will bring common sense and order to the problem of differing sizes for carry-on bags, " he said. "We know the current situation can be frustrating for passengers. This work will help to iron out inconsistencies and lead to an improved passenger experience."

Although guidelines aren't yet mandatory, multiple major luggage brands are already producing bags to fit the new dimensions. That certainly suggest that travelers should brace themselves for the lighter carry-on load, and the potential costs that come along with it.

A New Study Reveals How Your Birth Month Could Put You at Risk For Health Issues

woman about to nibble on large cakeAttention horoscope enthusiasts: You guys may be on to something - sort of. While your personality traits or level of compatibility with your bae have yet to be scientifically connected to your birth date, it turns out that your birth month can actually have some bearing on the type of health issues you develop. Cosmopolitan cites a recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association that reveals a link between a person's birth month and their "lifetime disease risk." The study found some individuals to be more prone to over 50 different health conditions and diseases, depending on when they were born.

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center analyzed the medical records of more than one million patients, finding 55 diseases that were connected to either the individual's birth month or season. Mary Regina Boland, PhD student at Columbia University Medical Center and a study co-author, spoke with Yahoo Parenting and summarized some of the findings, citing May and July as low-risk months. By contrast, those born in October and November have the highest risk of developing diseases or other conditions.

More specific examples include an increased likelihood of chest pain and heart issues for people born in April, and respiratory infections and complicated pregnancies and childbirths for those born in September.

Despite the findings, the study's authors maintain that health risks tied to birth months are "relatively minor when compared to more influential variables like diet and exercise."

Miley freakin' promised an upcoming collabo with Caitlyn! In one of her pics dedicated to her, she said a "dirtyhippie collab coming soon." That's her pro-LGBT Happy Hippie Foundation that she launched to support homeless youth.

We're not sure what kind of collaboration she and Caitlyn may have in the works, but as two of the most visible allies of the LGBT community, it HAS to be amazing.

Like Caitlyn, Miley recently opened up like no other. Not only did she just pose naked for Paper magazine, but she also revealed details about coming out to her mother about her bisexuality at a young age.

Caitlyn Jenner Reveals Her True Feelings About Her Marriage to Kris

Caitlyn Jenner is new to Twitter, but she's already learned that it's a great place for celebrities to set the record straight about things and that's exactly what she's doing.

There have been rumors about how the Kardashian matriarch is handling Cait's transformation and the current status of their friendship, and Kris herself took to Twitter to defend her position when celebrity blogger Perez Hilton tried to call her out after the Diane Sawyer interview.

Perez said that Cait's other two ex-wives gave supportive statements and called Kris out for supposedly having "no comment," and then said he thought she was negotiating her own tell-all for the highest bidder. Kris fired back with these two tweets:

And, from what Cait just tweeted, it sounds like despite what the rumor mill might be churning out, there is no bad blood between her and beyond that, she's very grateful for the time they spent married to each other. While Kris may not have commented on the Diane Sawyer interview, she did share her feelings in the Vanity Fair interview, which helped everyone understand why she was shocked by Cait's transformation.

"When I met Bruce, he told me that he had done hormones back in the early '80s. This was a conversation that took place in the early '90s," she told them. "So, what he was telling me happened a decade earlier, and he never really explained it...Nobody mentioned a gender issue."

For her part, Caitlyn acknowledged that maybe she didn't really lay it all out there in a way that was clear for Kris. "Probably a mistake I made was maybe not having her understand," she revealed. "Not the severity of it but that this is a condition you cannot get away from. From that standpoint, maybe I blew it away a little bit, sort of 'This is what I do.'"

Regardless, we're so glad to hear that they're on good terms and we think what Cait just tweeted about Kris is very telling about the love they shared for each other, and it seems, still share as friends and parents to the two amazing children they have together.

Kim Kardashian, track star!

The 34-year-old is used to the paparazzi following her every move, but it's getting kind of old and she's fully admitted that you don't mess with a pregnant Kimmie!

Unfortunately, the paparazzi don't care and they want pictures of Kim and her itty bitty baby bump, so they're still hot on her trail. In this instance, they were ready and waiting for her when she came out of Anastasia beauty studio in Beverly Hills.

We have to give Kim credit, she was wearing a really tight dress and high heels - those have got to be a good 4-inches, no? - and she still managed to (sorta) run away from them.

Kim did a half-jog kind of thing and then when she got out into the street and there were more paps waiting for her there, she let 'em have it because they wouldn't leave her, or her car, alone.

You tell 'em, Keeks!

Trip This: 13 Essential Travel Destinations for 'Game of Thrones' Fans

via deviantart.comEver wish you could live like the characters in Game of Thrones? I don't know why you'd want to - given that there is death behind every door - but I do know the Seven Kingdoms are incredibly beautiful. Turns out, with a bit of money and a passport, you can tour all of the fabulous film locations without the risk of running into White Walkers!

Let's start at King's Landing...

Dubrovnik is the place the Baratheons call home. King's Landing was seen in Malta in the pilot episode, but it was soon moved to Croatia. Starting in Malta, hit up Fort Manoel, which serves at the Sept of Baelor. The most famous, and desperately heart-wrenching, scene you may remember from this location is the beheading of Eddard Stark. That was Season 1, and I'm still not over it.
The city of Dubrovnik, which is used for many of the castle's exterior shots, features a famed fortress that is also used for scenes involving the Red Keep.

The Croatian city is situated on the Adriatic Sea and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. A lot of the sneaky scenes in King's Landing happen in the garden outside the castle, scenes that are filmed in Trsteno, Croatia at the Trsteno Arboretum.HBO / Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/davesandford/3948711346This beautiful garden is the oldest arboretum in this area of the world. It was originally erected by the noble family Gozze, but is now the property of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts. Oh, the gossip those statues must know.


Time to head north. Next stop: Winterfell.
The only way in and out of King's Landing is through King's Road, but to get where we're going, it's time to jump on a plane and head to Ireland.
Up in Northern Ireland, you'll find King's Road, AKA the Dark Hedges of Armoy. These famous beech trees line a path planted by the Stuart Family in the 18th Century. It is the only entrance to the family's Georgian Mansion, known as the Gracehill House. I think I'd rather be headed to a beautiful home than beheaded up in King's Landing. While we are still moving through Ireland, let's hit Winterfell. To get there, we obviously have to brace the Winterfell Godswood. The real-life version is a small village and civil parish in County Down, Northern Ireland. It's obviously famous for its Rowallane Garden, which is situated just outside of town.
The exotic garden was started over 100 years ago and is in the care of the Natural Trust. Keep a look out for Direwolves, maybe you'll find your own set of puppies!


While we're still in Ireland, let's check out the Iron Islands:
Ruled by House Greyjoy of Pyke, the group of seven islands in Ironman's Bay are filmed in a much calmer fishing town, known as Billintoy Harbour.
Ballintoy Harbour is situated in small village and civil parish in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Instead of ships and relatively angry kings, you'll find a small fishing harbor at the end of a very small, narrow, steep road.

Time to head to Castle Black. (You'd think Winterfell would be next, but since we're already in Ireland, it just makes sense to go there first. We're already way over budget on this trip.)
Magheramorne Quarry is up in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It's not at all what it seems - this rundown limestone quarry is currently owned by LaFarge and looks just about as bleak as Castle Black. A regeneration plan is going to transfer the area into a nature conservation, leisure, and housing area. I guess it's good that at the end of the fourth season the place was starting to fall apart because I don't think a mall is the best fit for housing the Night's Watch.

Journey onward to Winterfell (a skip to Scotland) to hit the Castle Ward. Even though Leon Greyjoy kind of killed the castle, the real Doune Castle is still standing strong.The Duone Castle is a medieval stronghold that was built in the 13th century and was damaged during the Scottish Wars of Independence. It was passed down between Dukes and Earls, but is currently maintained by Historic Scotland.


Time to go north to The Wall:
Grab your winter coat, it's time to hit Svínafellsjökull in Iceland, which serves as the film sets for most of the icy tundra north of The Wall. This 700,000-year-old stratovolcano glacier is one of Iceland's most famous sites. If you happen to recognize this rando glacier, it's probably because you've seen Batman Begins or read the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, because the passage starts here.


Time to get warmer!

Now that we've braved the cold up north, time to hit paradise again. The Khaleesi has it all right. Travel through paradise with dragons, kicking ass and taking names? Yes, please!

Let's start where it all started, where Khaleesi married Khal Drogo: Vaes Dothrak.
Their wedding scene was filmed on the Island of Gozo in a beautiful natural arch known as the Azure Window.The window is situated near Dwejra Bay on the Inland Sea. It was formed after two limestone sea caves collapsed, but I'd rather see it as a window to the Khaleesi's undying love.


As Khaleesi storms her way through villages, setting slaves free, she gets to experience beautiful locations that Jon Snow can only dream about. She makes her way through Slaver's Bay, in Astapor.
Its real setting is the City of Essaouira in the western region of Moroccan known as Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz on the Atlantic coast. We'll end our tour in Aït Benhaddou a.k.a. Yunkai. Just southwest of Meereen and north of Astapor, The Yellow City also sits on Slaver's Bay, and is where the Khaleesi has taken over and freed the slaves.The real location is a fortified city along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in Morocco. The beautiful city is situated along the Ounila River, but, nowadays, most inhabitants live in a much more modern village across the river. Aside from in Game of Thrones, you may recognize this city from other movies like The Mummy, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, or Prince of Persia. While you're there, make sure to check for dragons!


Last Stop: Dorne!
Seville and Osuna, Spain were the newest film locations added during season 5. If you recall, we were taken across the sea to Dorne with Jaime Lannister in an effort to find his niece - ahem, daughter - and save her from the Martells. I suggest going by plane instead of by boat. The Gardens of Alcázar in Seville were used for the beautiful Castle of Sunspear of House Martell. It makes for a breathtaking scene as Prince Doran walks through the gardens with his soon-to-be wife, Myrcella Lannister. You, too, can take a romantic stroll through these gardens, just keep an eye out for scorpions and Tyrell's daughters!

2015 Film Independent Filmmaker Grant And Spirit Awards Nominees Brunch - ArrivalsHere's just one more reason we love Sasha Pieterse.

The Pretty Little Liars star has been dealing with social media trolls making comments about her body and her weight, and instead of losing it on them in a rant, she took the high road instead. In an Instagram post, Sasha was incredibly sweet in response to the hating, when she didn't have to say anything at all.

To my incredible and loving fans, Words cannot express how amazed I am by you! I'm so thankful for the affection you have for me, Alison, and Pretty Little Liars! We/I wouldn't be able to make it happen without you! I get to do what I love every single day because of you guys! As a lot of you have noticed my body has gone through some changes, and I want to clear the air and give you an explanation. I have been facing a bad hormone imbalance that has thrown my body completely out of whack. I want to assure you that I'm healthy and getting everything back on track! A big thanks to all of you who have been in my corner! We live in such a judge mental society that puts every kind of flaw, including weight gain, in the same category. And for those of you who are struggling with any health problem, hormone imbalance, and weight gain of any sort I urge and encourage you to please deal with it in a healthy manor. YOU and YOUR health are what matters, not anyone else's opinions and assumptions of you. Getting healthy isn't just about working out and eating right (however extremely important) it's also about surrounding yourself with those who care about you and want to see you succeed and become the best you can be. I love every single one of you and I hold you all dear to my heart! Xoxoxox Sasha

This is so empowering. We're sure Sasha isn't the only one dealing with body issues, and whether someone's body is changing due to a health problem or not, no one should be made to feel bad about themselves because of the way they look. Unfortunately, there are people who feel the need to hop on social media, hide behind fake accounts and bash others. While there's still no solution for how to shut that down (just yet) it's nice to see someone like Sasha, who so many young women admire, take a stand and share her story.

You never know who needed to hear it.

john stamos at the party...Here's some unsettling news for fans of Full House. According to various media outlets, John Stamos was arrested for driving under the influence on Friday night. After receiving multiple reports of a person in a silver Mercedes-Benz driving erratically, officers stopped the 51-year-old actor in Beverly Hills. Apparently, his behavior prompted the authorities to dispatch an ambulance to the scene to examine him for possible medical issues. The Wrap reports that Stamos was then handcuffed and transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for medical treatment. Once at the hospital, doctors confirmed that Stamos was, in fact, intoxicated. Police then cited him for DUI.

While this serious situation earned Stamos a misdemeanor charge and a Sept. 11 court date, he posted a tweet on Saturday assuring his followers that all was well: Recently, Stamos has been at the forefront of talk about the upcoming Netflix series Fuller House, a reboot of the '90s series that is set to follow the life of his now-adult TV niece DJ Tanner, along with her younger sister Stephanie and her wise-cracking bestie Kimmy Gibbler.

Taylor SwiftDo you look like Taylor Swift? If so, then you need to be like this girl and make some cash of that!

A T-Swift fan named Rose Nicholas from England totally is Tay's twin, and makes atleast $600 a gig because of it. After getting recognized for her T-Swift look when she was just 17, she realized she could take her similarities to another level and make some cash-flow off her face.

Rose is often stopped on the streets by Swifties hoping to get a picture with her. She has even fooled the paparazzi into thinking she was the real Tay Tay.

"People refused to believe me when I said I wasn't Taylor Swift," the impersonator recalled about a trip to New York.

"I was bombarded by groups of tourists desperate to get a photo or video. It was overwhelming. The next day, I found all sorts of photos popping up of me on social media mistaking me for the real Taylor Swift in Times Square!"

Rose isn't the only Tay fan to get mistaken as Taylor. There's another T-swift doppelganger floating around in Arizona. Read about her, here.
