Harry Styles GQ most stylish men aliveGQ magazine has confirmed what we've known for a long time - Harry Styles is a stylish man. From his patterned shirts (with buttons undone down to there), to his skinny jeans, a fashionable hat...and the boots. Always the fashion forward boots...Harry's got it going on.

GQ compiled a list of the 20 most stylish men alive and Harry is in some good company. Other notable dudes who made the list include:

Kanye West
Ryan Gosling
Jaden Smith
Pharrell
Brad Pitt
Jay-Z
Jared Leto
Bradley Cooper
David Beckham

GQ described their criteria for compiling the list: "[We] looked for guys who carry themselves with confidence and originality and whose moves we want to steal."

So. Harry.

We're a little surprised that he is the only 1D guy to make the cut though - Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan all have some fierce looks, but GQ's stylish men list is a fickle beast.


Valedictorian's Instagram Account Shares Positive Messages About Classmates

student instagram positive messagesNot only did this class valedictorian kick butt academically, he also proved he has a literal heart of gold. Meet East Valley High School student Konner Sauve, who created an anonymous Instagram account to post amazing messages about each and every one of his classmates.

This is such a seriously epic gesture to shine a bright light on everyone in the school. So. Cool. Konner highlighted every student over 43 weeks, with over 650 pics of schoolmates from the 2014 to 2016 classes, using the Insta handle @TheBenevolentOne3. Every photo had a positive caption that showed off each student's best qualities.

The best part? His schoolmates didn't know it was Konner until he revealed it at the end of his speech at graduation.

Konner explained that he was inspired by a Maya Angelou quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

His goal was simple: "try to make everyone here feel appreciated and recognized for simply being the amazing people they are."

This guy rocks.

Ryan Reynolds Is Getting Blasted for Blake Lively's Father's Day Post

Ryan Reynolds Portrait SessionWhat started as a sweet Father's Day tribute from Blake Lively to her hubby Ryan Reynolds is turning into all kinds of chaos on social media.

In the Instagram snap, Ryan totes their daughter James in a carrier, as he stands in front of a lake with a big smile on his face. "Happy Fathers Day!!! ... @vancityreynolds Since the day our baby was born, I've felt so strongly in my heart that you were most likely the father. #ILoveYouSoMuchItsSilly," the Age of Adaline star captioned the shot.

When we saw the snap, we thought 'this is totally swoon-worthy but, please, at some point can we see the baby.' Others, meanwhile, looked straight past Ryan's hotness and zeroed in on something else completely different.

A photo posted by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on

"If [you're] going to post a photo of you #babywearing at least do it right. All I'm imagining is the baby falling straight to the ground. This is scary!," one commenter wrote. "Dude the baby is suffocating in there," someone else said. Apparently, Ryan was wearing the carrier wrong and those two weren't the only ones who were up in arms about it.

Many more social media users freaked out about the new dad's mistake, and soon, articles started popping up around the web blasting him too (Can he live though?).

As for why everyone was freaking out about the pic, The Stir pointed out that the baby girl's feet are dangling from the bottom of the carrier and they're together, which isn't a good thing. "When baby's feet are pushed together in a carrier, it increases the risk of hip dysplasia, as their little hips are basically pushed out of their sockets. Instead, doctors recommend that baby carriers 'support the thigh and allow the legs to spread to keep the hip in a stable position.'" Also, the site said Ryan should've been able to see James' face to make sure she didn't suffocate.

With all of that said though, we're sure the couple wouldn't put their daughter at risk on purpose (and we can't blame them if they hold back on posting more pics with baby James in the future). Sigh.

Kim Kardashian Only Had Male Embryos Implanted for Second Pregnancy

2015 CFDA Fashion Awards - Inside ArrivalsKim Kardashian and Kanye West weren't taking any chances when it came to baby number two! The power couple, who are expecting their second child, reportedly wanted a boy so badly that they took matters into their own hands.

KimYe supposedly used IVF gender selection process to ensure their next baby would be a son, UsWeekly reports. During the pricey procedure, doctors isolate fertilized embryos of the requested sex before implanting them into the uterus. "She only had boy embryos implanted," a source close to Kim tells the mag.

The 34-year-old broke the baby boy news on Father's Day in an Instagram post featuring Kanye with their daughter North West.
We're happy for KimYe and their newest addition, but we'd like to remind them that girls are totally awesome too!

Rob Kardashian Tries to Help Kim With Her Morning Sickness

The last time Rob gave Kim Kardashian a social media shoutout, it wasn't exactly pretty. He posted a picture on Instagram of a scene from Gone Girl, writing, "This is my sister kim , the bitch from Gone Girl." So, that was sort of where we left off.

We have seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians that Kim takes more of a "tough love" approach with Rob than the rest of the family, so that might explain some of the tension.

The good news is that it looks like they're getting along much better now! Yesterday, Kim was tweeting about her morning sickness and while we all love reading her updates, we forget that the rest of her family is reading them, too. And, in this case, Rob replied.

We have no idea what that particular voice note was, but Kim's reply told us a lot about the current status of their relationship. "should I post it? I think people would love to hear the voice notes u send me!" she wrote.

We would love to hear them, too! And you don't send voice notes to someone you're mad at, so it looks like it's all good with Kimmie and her little bro and we couldn't be happier to see them getting along again.

Kim Kardashian Awoken By "Drunk Naked Woman" Banging on Her Door

Kim Kardashian Sighting In CannesWell, this isn't exactly the ideal way to meet Kim Kardashian.

The reality star was enjoying her trip to Cannes with her friends and family members when she got an unpleasant surprise in the middle of the night.

"Thanks to the drunk naked woman banging on my door I have been up since 4 am! I'm so sleepy now but have to work! It's gonna be a long day!" she tweeted.

So, what was the woman up to? Was she trying to meet Kim or was she just lost...and naked. Apparently, she thought her American Express card was her room key, and thought that Kim's room was hers. Basically, a fail on all levels.

Even though she was annoyed about it, Kim couldn't help but appreciate the sheer craziness of it all. "I took a fun video of her as a reminder of why I never tolerated drinking 2 much! Slob kabob! I won't post it but it's funny!"

Hopefully Kim is able to sleep more peacefully tonight!

Blake Lively Opens Up About Motherhood: "I Get Pooped on Every Day"

This might be the real reason Blake Lively changed her outfit ten times in one day.

Although the Age of Adaline star told Yahoo! she's enjoying motherhood, she also admitted it can get tough, adding, "I get, like, pooped on all the time, and barfed on. And if anything else did this to me, I would club it. But it's your baby and it's wonderful because even when it's tough, you just think, I'm so fortunate. That it's wonderful." She's giving us so many feels right now.

Blake also dished on the importance of putting her family first, saying, "My personal life has always been my priority. When I was on my show [Gossip Girl], it was completely consuming. I didn't have much room for a personal life, but I did everything I could to carve it out. And that didn't feel good, that I had to work so much at a job where you're outputting so much."

To get things back on track, she took a break when the show was over, but was sent the script for Age of Adaline just months after Gossip Girl ended. "When I read Adaline, I actually wasn't ready to go back to work," she said. "I wanted to take a bigger break. It had only been like seven months at that point, and I thought, I cannot not be in this movie."
Blake not only had to quickly back into the swing of things for her career, but she was also pregnant and struck by the thought of having to watch her child grow older and not age herself, as Adaline does in the film. "I thought I can't imagine sitting there watching my child at an old age, being forgetful, and knowing she's only got a few years left," she said. "As a parent, all you want to do is protect that. Your whole purpose of living is keeping that thing alive, and here you can do nothing."

"You're granted eternal life, and [your child]'s not," she continued. "So I imagine that would be really tough...And, you know, I didn't have (my baby) in my arms yet, but I had her in my tummy then. So, it was significant for me shooting this film and thinking of the mother-daughter relationship."

Now that little James is here, Blake is busy juggling her career and motherhood, even breastfeeding her baby girl at an interview once. Total super mom.

10 Ways to Style Stripes Without Looking Like a Sailor

fashionable woman in streetThe Chelsea boot, a beat-up leather jacket, a polished trench coat: Classics are classics for a reason. Always relevant and continuously fresh, we turn to the classics when we want a fool-proof fashionable outfit that will hit the mark every time.

Stripes totally fall into this category, and they're the most on-point print for any stylish gal's summer wardrobe.

Stripes don't need to be confined to the T-shirt department! When shopping for your next sand-proof sandal, consider trading up your flip-flops for a beachy espadrille sporting the classic pattern.

Zayn Malik Paris Fashion Week picsWhen hot guy worlds collide. Zayn Malik, getting up to "normal 22-year-old" guy things (that will forever haunt him, honestly), went to the Paris Fashion Week Valentino Menswear show today. Ya know, like normal dudes do.

He also had a little hang with Joe Jonas, as the two smoldering singers posed together for pics and sat front row at the show. Let's just let this sink in for a minute, shall we?

Zayn, still sporting the white (blonde?) hair, made his way to the event looking quite serious along the way, stopping to pose for pics with fans before having a look at all the runway models.

He even gave a shoutout to fans about his Paris trip, writing: By familiar faces, was he including Joe? Because, yep. This happened: Thumbs up. Oh yeah.

50 Cent Is Still Cracking Jokes About Diddy's Arrest

50 Cent has been going after Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his Ciroc "Puffy Juice" for quite some time, so when Diddy got arrested for allegedly fighting his son's football coach, we knew the rapper was going to have some jokes.

And he didn't disappoint. Not long after news surfaced that Diddy was not only behind bars, but the altercation involved a kettlebell, 50 put up video after video of himself pretending to bail Diddy out.

"Puffy is in a UCLA campus jail right now! Sh*t got real with the coach! We got to go get him!...yeah man, you know how sh*t goes," he said in one video, with a poster of his TV show "Power" and a bottle of his Effen Vodka in the background.

"Yeah man they say Puffy went Ciroc coco on the coach with a kettlebell... all this sh*t started since Drake man, he be wanting to f**k everybody up," he said as he counted money, referencing an incident outside a Miami club last year where Diddy reportedly punched Drake. "Yeah man I'm counting the bail money right now so I can get him before he f**k me up, I'm scared to death around here."
The next day though, we saw a softer side of 50 when he appeared on HuffPost Live. He said he was done cracking jokes after Diddy was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats, and one count of battery. He even took down the videos and memes he posted about it.

"That's when it stops being funny," he said in the interview Tuesday. "It's not funny anymore. If you look at my social networking you see that I took all of those things down...I'm getting [the news] like everyone else is getting it and just making fun of the situation, but when it gets to him actually getting charged with something, then we pump the brakes a little bit and see what happens with his actual case."

"It's not the first time a parent has gotten into an argument with a coach," he continued. "And the coach particularly involved in this situation, is someone who we could call, like, an a**hole."

Hours later though, 50 let all that go and posted another meme about Diddy and that kettlebell. Then, went back to posting videos Wednesday when Rick Ross got arrested on kidnapping and assault charges. While he was clowning Rick, he went ahead and got one more jab in on Diddy too. "Fat Boy in the jail to Fu😆k EM. Them ni66as bunkies 😝 #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO nopuffyjuice nobumjuice," he captioned it.

Students Create Condoms That Change Colors If You Have STDs

Glow in the dark condoms show STDsHow hasn't someone thought of this before? A trio of genius teens from a London academy just invented glow in the dark condoms that change colors when used with someone who has a sexually transmitted disease.

At the TeenTech awards, students Musaz Nawaz, Daanyaal Ali and Chirag Shah took top prize in the Health category for their smart condoms, called the S.T.EYE, which glow different colors when they came into contact with bacteria and viruses that cause sexually transmitted infections. Their condom would glow green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple for HPV and blue for syphilis. Guess this is one time when a glowstick could end a party, not make them more fun!
glow stick GIF"We created the S.T.EYE as a new way for STI detection to help the future of the next generation," they said in a press release. "We wanted to make something that made detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the often-scary procedures."

We think this is a great idea, but these condoms are still in concept phase, so make sure to use regular protection in the meantime!

One Direction fans are crazy loyal - and super observant too, tyvm. So, when 1D's new ad (and behind-the-scenes photo shoot video) for their fragrance, 'Between Us,' landed online, fans were overwhelmed with feels. And then the conspiracy theories started flying.

The fandom were quick to spot that the commercial was shot back in November - well before Zayn Malik announced that he was leaving the band.

Ooh. Sleuthy.

Some fans were quick to point out that there were some missing tattoos, too, putting the time stamp at last year. Is this the voice of reason though...did they know that Zayn was quitting soon and left him out of the shoot?

"Thank you for not retouching my body hair like SOME people #comeasyouare #iloveyou," the twerking singer captioned the below, hot picture. Long hair don't care, eh?

She def doesn't GAF, that's for sure. Miley has been making headlines for awhile lately, from the money she raised for charity with her Caitlyn Jenner-inspired art to her Happy Hippie Foundation #InstaPride campaign.

Her love life has been in the headlines, too. We know, we know...shocker. But, this time she's reportedly dating Victoria's Secret angel Stella Maxwell. That news comes after Miley revealed in a magazine interview that she has been attracted to girls since her Hannah Montana days.

15th Annual Art for Life BenefitThis is turning into the summer of no chill.

Days after Diddy was busted for allegedly assaulting his son's football coach, Rick Ross landed behind bars Wednesday morning in Fayette County, Georgia and was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery, according to TMZ.

The U.S. Marshals Service told the site the incident went down about two weeks ago and involved a confrontation between Rick and a man doing work at one of his homes. According to WSB-TV, Rick and his bodyguard, Nadrian James, allegedly got into a fight with that worker (Jonathan Zamudio), pistol-whipped him and chipped two of his teeth.

Jonathan was allegedly held against his will at a guest house, and reportedly suffered neck and jaw injuries so serious that he's now on a liquid diet. Umm...

The rapper's bodyguard was also taken into custody, and was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery too.

This is just Rick's latest run in with the law. Two weeks ago, he was busted for misdemeanor possession of marijuana on June 10.

When Did I Grow Up?

Girl Holding up BraI was very comfortable in my spaghetti-strapped tops and bloomers when suddenly I had to change to v-shaped panties in order to use sanitary napkins when I started to menstruate. It all happened too quickly for me to understand but slowly enough for me to adjust.

So I adjusted, not only to the 24-hour blood flowing from my vagina for the worst five days of the month, but also to the doltish myths. I wondered if the treatment of an untouchable would have been better than mine. It wasn't just physical unease, my menstruation limited me from visiting temples and touching pickles. Maybe when I started menstruating, I grew up.

Suddenly in school, staying hungry became cooler than carry carrying a tiffin box. I still remember how after every period, I rushed to the bathroom to tuck my skirt a little higher. When I started spending maximum time in front of the mirror, I think that's when I grew up.

Or was it when I met him for the first time and could foresee a house with white and blue curtains the moment he said "I love you"? Mistaking him as my forever, was that when I grew up? Or was it when I no longer missed him when he was gone? I still don't know what was more mature. Loving him or letting him go, or maybe now I have grown up because I am able to see my past self as a fool. I wonder, was I a fool when I saw this relationship as the most clever thing to do? Or am I now clever to see us as fools? I don't know.

I don't know when it happened, when suddenly my body started looking more enticing to those lascivious eyes which fell directly on my breasts. When I started feeling unsafe everywhere, from roads to parks, from buses to temples - even my own house wasn't safe in the presence of some unwanted guests. When the only warning we had to follow was, "do not take toffee from a stranger" shifted to "do not wear cut sleeves or shorts out of home, wear a dupatta while traveling in public transport, and beware of a sexual touch from the other gender in a crowded place," was that when I grew up?

My family's list of expectations of "don't dirty your frock while having food" and "greet elders when you meet them" extended to "don't bunk tuitions, score well in boards, get admission in a good college, and the worst of all, maintain decorum in the society which itself lacks accord." Did I grow up when every step I took was examined?

Did I grow up when I started deleting the Internet history from my dad's laptop? Masturbation became a hotly discussed topic among my so-called girlfriends; I had to know about it to be a part of the conversation. The feeling almost similar to dissecting a frog wasn't gross anymore. Because come'on, it gave me a feeling I had never felt before. Sexual pleasures are hard to contempt.

Did I grow up when I started hiding things from mom? Or did all this happen when suddenly waxing didn't pain much, homework wasn't a task to be done anymore, or push-up bras became my favorite? Or maybe when I lifted my eyes with judgement at everyone I saw? Maybe when I lost my innocence, that's when I grew up.

Did I grow up when I started making new friendship bonds or was it when I lost them? Does maturity come when you are ready to love? Or does it happen when you measure love and serve it in fragments according to your needs and based on people whom you are feeding? When I started weighing the quantity of emotions on a steelyard of my consciousness, was that when I grew up?

I have lost people; I have had heartbreaks. I have had love problems and family trust issues, but now I can see myself painting a beautiful picture with the right amount of black being used. Did all those complications help me in choosing the right paint colors for my painting today? I know not, but I am sure my painting today is colorful. Should I thank the ones who've come and gone for handing over new colors?

But I see myself evolving even now - what I was yesterday, I don't wish to be right now. I would like to be better than this in the future. When we are so dynamic, how can growth be constant? Maybe I can never know when I grew up, because I just never stop growing.

What strikes me strangely is that most of the time it's not me who grew, it was society that made me reform, change, develop and evolve into something BETTER.

7 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About College

$

tailgating  group of excited...Having just endured the higher education graduation season, I decided to sit back and take a good look at the most recent years that have shaped me to become the somewhat functioning adult that I am today. And while I loved every minute of college (OK, most minutes ...finals will always kinda suck), I realized that there were a few things that, had someone actually taken the time to relay them to me, would have made my experience a whole lot easier.

1. Go to at least ONE school event (be it a game, open mic night..whatever).


After four years, if you still don't know the school motto or even what the school mascot looks like, you might raise a few eyebrows. Check out your campus events! Even if it's just for bragging rights.

2. The freshman 15 CAN be avoided.

It takes work. It takes discipline. It takes self-control the size of the Titanic. But if you tell yourself that you don't need Taco Bell everyday, you can actually avoid packing on the pounds. Make yourself a sandwich. Invest in some M&M trail mix. Carry water with you EVERYWHERE. Believe me, your future self will be glad you did.

3. Go to class.


Seriously. Just go. While you might be a little drunk on the freedom of not being forced to go to class every day by your parents, teachers and school administrators, being absent from class is literally the quickest way to make your grade drop WAY down (most professors really believe in the infamous pop quiz). Plus, you paid for it, so you might as well get your money's worth.

4. It is possible to do your homework and still have a social life.


I was told by the big, bad college students before me that college students take one of two paths: the partier with horrible grades or the studious student with absolutely no friends or social life. This could not have have been more wrong. Despite what I'd been told, most professors don't actually drown you in homework (someone would actually have to grade all of that), and having friends doesn't actually require you to give up your academic responsibilities (they're in college too, remember?).

5. Drinking isn't a requirement during ANY social event in college.
This isn't a '90s sitcom. No one is going to pressure you to pick up a beer during a college party or make fun of you if you don't. If they do, chances are they weren't actually invited. Be free to say no if you don't want to indulge. People are attracted to self-confidence.

6. Know where you are going ahead of time (being late is NOT fun).
The day before your first day of class, figure out where your classes are and how to get to them. You really don't want to be the new kid who awkwardly interrupts the "welcome to my class" speech with hundreds of eyes staring at you, all because it took you an extra 15 minutes to find the right building.

7. Know how you are going to pay for college.
You don't know it now, but scholarships run out, and loans pile up. Plan out your four-year tuition. Sign up for every grant and scholarship that you are eligible for (the odd essay sometimes needed to apply will be worth it, trust me). This will prevent you from crying into your empty wallet in the future or having to work three part-time jobs long after you've received the diploma to pay off loans.

College is a great experience that should be had by anyone that wants it. It's a great gateway into the world of adulthood, new relationships and even a broader understanding of the world. But, like all great experiences, it can be tricky to navigate. Hopefully, with a few of these simple rules, it'll be a lot easier for all of you.

Dear America: Let's Talk About Caitlyn, Charleston and Rachel

Rihanna America gif
Dear America,

I write this because, while I love this incredible country that I live in, I feel like we have gotten a little off. A Confederate flag. A word. A term. A feeling. An opinion. These are the things that we focus on. These are the things that we see. Our word vs. their word. Our kind vs. their kind. Our wrong vs. their wrong. Our right vs. theirs. These are things that we have seen on our screens and newsfeeds as well as heard in our community and from our government for years. These are the only things that we as a society let ourselves see, hear and know.

We tell ourselves that "different" is a problem, that having a problem with different is a problem, that a solution must be found - but we don't search for it. We campaign on our Twitter accounts with hashtags spouting about forefathers who we haven't even taken the time to research or know, write our scalding Facebook posts, and shake our heads at the state of society, yet we fill up our days binging on Netflix or YouTube, catching up on the latest celebrity breakup or DIY tutorial.

While I, myself, have spent many days watching more episodes of Friends in one sitting than is probably healthy and consider YouTube part of my daily routine, I find myself today, thinking. Thinking about Charleston, Rachel, Caitlyn, Ferguson, Baltimore, Sandy Hook. I find myself thinking about us. All of us, and I can't help but think that we can do better.

We can do better than hashtags. We can do better than reposts. We can do better than caring about one another long enough to post online about it, and then turning to pick up the remote. Can't we? Don't we, as a society, have that power? To make change? Didn't one letter from Taylor Swift change the dynamic between multi-billion dollar companies and musicians forever - and isn't she (even with her money and fame) one of us? Didn't America come together time and time again to help rebuild communities struck by natural disasters? (I know we did; my home was one helped.) Don't we have the power to make or break the career of a movie, album or artist, simply through what we decide to buy, listen to and see?

Because this is what I see.

I see Rachel Dolezal. In our small corners of the world, it is our responsibility as human beings to make sure that everyone we come into contact with knows that it's who they are that's enough to make a difference.

I see Caitlyn and the fact that people in our communities need to be told that they are loved, seen and heard every day.

I see Charleston, Ferguson, Baltimore, Sandy Hook and the fact that if we, as a society, don't do more than sit behind our computers all day and critique one another's political correctness, nothing will change. Lives, our lives, will continue to be lost. Our tears will continue to be shed. And the word "enough" will never be more than just a word. Because right now, from what I see, It - all of it - is enough. It's more than enough. And we have the power to make it so together. We just have to open up our eyes and choose to see. No more excuses; no more words. Open your eyes, America, and see.

With all of the love in the world,

Disney poop dessertsWe usually love anything chocolate, but we may have to draw the line at this new dessert being served at Disney World that resembles poop. Zuri's Sweets Shop, a retailer at the Florida theme park's Animal Kingdom, is selling these treats inspired by animal droppings.

You can order giraffe, elephant, hippo or cotton-top tamarin dung and get this: the park's animal handlers worked with the pastry chefs to make sure these poop treats looked like the real deal. Brave visitors sampling the goods have been sharing pics of their snacks on social media. It costs $3.99 a pop to pretend you're eating animal crap, and the desserts have actually gotten rave reviews from some people so far. We think we'll pass!

Ariana Grande tries on wigs short hair with bangs picsDid Ariana Grande ditch her signature half-up-half-down ponytail, cut her hair and go with bangs? Wellll...yes. And no. Mostly no, but she did give a try to some temporary hairstyles with fun wigs.

Guess what? She looks totally gorg no matter what the hair style. Last month she tried out a bun and we love, love, loved it. Now she's taking things shorter and adding a little fringe with what she calls "the worst wigs ever."

It really changes up her look so much with the bangs, doesn't it (see how unrecognizable Anna Kendrick looks with bangs, it'll blow your mind)?

She captioned the pics: "whattttttttt iffffff #heymamawelcometothe60s," followed by "the worrrrrst wigs ever. #welovethem."

whattttttttt iffffff #heymamawelcometothe60s 🙈
