Kylie Jenner's Latest Snapchat Has Us Freaking Out a Little Bit

Kendall + Kylie Fashion Line Launch Party At TopshopWhoa! We love when Kendall and Kylie Jenner hang out, but dang, Kenny! Save the yoga moves for when you're not DRIVING.

Kylie posted this Snapchat story of some sister time over the weekend and we have to admit, we're freaking out a little bit when we see that Kendall is driving with one leg completely hanging out the window. Pretty sure they don't teach that in driver's ed.

Song is Take Ya Tights Off by Problem

A video posted by Kylie Jenner Snapchats (@kylizzlesnapchats) on


The fact that she throws her hands in the air and busts out one of her old cheerleading moves while looking at Kylie, NOT the road, is even more scary.

"I fixed it! I f**king fixed it," Kenny cheers. Good job, girl...but we'd like you to arrive to your destination safely so you can celebrating fixing whatever you fixed when you get there.

This isn't the first time things have gotten a little weird when Kendall and Kylie share Snaps together. Back in April, Kylie posted a video of the two of them at a photoshoot and Kylie full-on sticks her hand down Kendall's shorts.


Justin Bieber Defends Kylie Jenner After Amandla Stenberg Slams Her Cornrows

In case you missed it, Kylie Jenner got a lot of backlash after posting a pic of herself with cornrows over the weekend, most notably from actress Amandla Stenberg.

"When u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter," Amandla commented on the photo below.

I woke up like disss

A photo posted by King Kylie (@kyliejenner) on


Kylie clapped back with, "@amandlastenberg Mad if I don't, mad if I do...Go hang w Jaden or something." Amandla and Jaden Smith went to prom together this year and Kylie and Jaden were a rumored couple last year.

There were a lot of commenters on each side of the debate, but now Justin Bieber has thrown his two cents in, coming to Kylie's defense: In screengrabs of the comment, the Biebs reportedly wrote, "Guys leave her alone, were all trying to figure it out and she happens to be under a microscope! I'm the first to know this. But saying she's being racist because she wants her hair in braids is ridiculous."

He continued, "Lets focus on the bigger picture and instead of fighting over something stupid lets do something about equality, but it doesn't start here blasting a 17 year old kid for wearing braids smh."

While Kylie was disappointed by one of her other pals on IG recently, the Biebs makes it pretty clear that he's got her back.

Aww! You'll Love This Pic of a Dad Dressed Like a Minion

'Minions' Berlin Photocall
If there's one thing that kids (and many adults) adore, it's their animated movies. The latest animated flick in the Despicable Me franchise hit theaters this summer, and with its release came a slew of kids who are just head over heels for those little yellow creatures with gigantic goggles. It's one thing to allow your own child to dress up like a Minion in preparation for the new film, but it seems that this sweet dad did one better.

Reddit user Boba_F37T shared an amazing pic of what appears to be a father and son on the subway, and it's making the entire internet go "aww!" for one reason: both dad and son are dressed up in the iconic Minions garb. The pair dons yellow shirts with blue denim overalls, and the dad is even rocking some crazy goggles. Check out the pic below:
We have no idea where this Minion-esque team was heading, but I would assume that they were either heading to or coming from the movies to see the new film. Father and son are not opposed to showing their fandom to any and all strangers on public transportation - and now they're also showing it off on the internet. This dad gets serious points for joining his son in this dress-up venture, and hopefully it will inspire other parents to get their own costume games on point. We need more adorable photos like this flooding our news feeds, stat.

OMG: Lady Gaga's New 'American Horror Story: Hotel' Promo Will Freak You Out

87th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Lady Gaga is constantly surprising her fans, but I'm not sure anyone expected her to take on this latest television project. Gaga will be featured on the new season of Fox's spooky anthology series American Horror Story, and it sounds like the perfect television series to showcase Gaga's avant garde style. While we don't know much about the new season, we do know that it will be subtitled Hotel and that Gaga will be playing a villainous character (as per her request!) Now, it seems that we may have gotten one more hint at what Gaga's future on the show will entail - and it has to do with a seriously scary manicure.

American Horror Story: Hotel released a new promo for the series, and it features Gaga - or, at the very least, her hands. Gaga's character taps a bell with her sharp, bedazzled nails, and as her fingers hit the desk, they make an unusual ding, almost as if they are made of metal. I can't even fathom all of the damage that those talons could do when paired with an evil doer like Gaga's character. Gaga isn't playing nice on American Horror Story, and this creepy promo totally proves it. I can't wait to see her character in the flesh - if her hands have the power to freak me out, I'm anxious to see what the rest of her costume looks like. We're in for one wild season with Gaga as one of the stars, and it could very well be the scariest one yet.

Must Watch: The First 'Suicide Squad' Trailer is Here and It's Cray

With superheroes nowhere in sight, who else is around to save the world besides the villains? That's the basic premise of the upcoming comic book flick Suicide Squad, and from the look of the brand-new trailer, it looks absolutely epic. Fans at Comic-Con got to delight in this first look at the new flick, and now the preview has officially dropped for everyone who couldn't make it down to San Diego for the convention. You don't have to be obsessed with comic books to realize that this movie is one you will totally want to snag tickets for.

There are plenty of reasons why Suicide Squad will be THE movie of 2016, but let's start with a few names: specifically, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Will Smith, and Cara Delevingne, all of whom play members of the titular squad. Then there's everyone's favorite badass lawyer from How To Get Away With Murder, Viola Davis, who isn't a super villain herself but is in charge of bringing all of them together to cause mayhem and, hopefully, do some good.



There's plenty of crazy action sequences in the trailer, and lots of powerful lines of dialogue (Harley Quinn utters "Are you the devil?" to Davis' character Amanda as Amanda examines Harley in her cell) but let's be honest: we're totally watching this flick for the amazing cast. Talk about #squadgoals - this movie has officially achieved all of ours.

Justin Bieber Supports Ariana Grande Following Donut Licking Incident

Justin Bieber called Ariana Grande donut licking scandal adviceAriana Grande took plenty of heat for that whole donut licking incident, but she did have a few supporters - like her brother, Frankie...and Justin Bieber, who should know a thing or two about making reputation tarnishing mistakes.

Justin reportedly called Ariana to lend his advice, which no doubt comes from a place of experience - so listen up Ari.

According to HollywoodLife.com, a source revealed that "Justin reached out to Ariana because he heard she was very down over the whole donut-licking scandal. He empathized with her, telling her he's made his own mistakes in life, and you can only grow from those experiences."

He also reportedly told her that "her true fans will always be there" for her, but "she will just have to prove herself to everyone else."

Meanwhile, reports are mixed about the fallout after "donut-gate," with some outlets reporting that the Wolfee Donuts shop owners didn't press charges against Ari. The owner, however, said in a radio interview that he did press charges and that Ariana is banned for life from the donut shop.

This Teen Wants to Change the Name of Her High School For an Important Reason

A debate rages on in our country about the use of the Confederate flag and other symbols of the pre-Civil War time period when slavery was legalized. While many people want to cling to these symbols as part of their Southern history, others see them as a painful reminder of a terrible time for minorities in America - and many don't think that they have any place in our society. Texas high school student Kayla Wilson is fed up with these symbols, including the name of her school, which is named after Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Kayla has started a Change.org petition that seeks to change the name of her high school, and it's about time someone took a stand.

Kayla is right in speaking out about this issue, and with over 3,000 signatures on her Change.org petition, many other people agree. Not only did Robert E. Lee own slaves, he also fought for the institution of slavery to be preserved. It's pretty awful that this is the man that students have to see honored on their building every day, but the school's lack of sensitivity doesn't stop there. According to Kayla, the school's mascot is a Confederate soldier, which means that at every sports game the person helping to rally the students is a symbol of someone who fought to keep people enslaved. Ugh.

It's amazing that Kayla is standing up and demanding change, especially because change in this case is seriously overdue. (Really, did no one else consider this a problem?!) I hope that Kayla's campaign opens people's eyes and strips Robert E. Lee's name off the building for good... it's about time.

lipdrink shades lip glossSummer heat can be super harsh on not only your skin, but also your lips. We're pretty sure y'all got the sunscreen game covered, but your lips deserve a change from the Chapstick every now and then - because, sometimes, we want the benefit of dry lip rescue with a splash of color. Fortunately for us, jane iredale has this amazing new product called LipDrink.

We tried out all three shades of LipDrink ($15 each, jane iredale), and every one managed to stay strong throughout some harsh California heat as well as some pretty unsteady Portland vacation weather (heat/rain/heat). The "Sheer" shade alone is really rad and left our lips feeling soft and ridiculously moisturized. The "Buff" and "Crush" shades are amazing when you want a splash of color. We fell in love with the plum-colored "Crush" - lipsticks tend to disappear on our lips (the curse of the super pale/freckled girls), but this one stayed on and was super easy to apply on the go.

Since we couldn't decide which shade we liked best (they're all sharing a pocket in our purses right now), we decided to let you gals be the judge. Want to enter for a chance to win a LipDrink trio of your own? Here's how:
  • Open to legal residents of 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 13 and older
  • To enter, submit your email address in the field below

Fifth Harmony party with One Direction niall horan louis tomlinsonWhile we'll never know what it's like to spend a night out with the guys of One Direction, some of the ladies of Fifth Harmony have first-hand knowledge. Lucky. And, lucky for us, they're spilling the beans on their night of partying with Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson. What really went down?

Fifth Harmony's Dinah Jane Hansen and Lauren Jauregui got to hang with Louis and Nialler after attending Britain's Got Talent recently. After the show ended, they went to a London club, where you may recall that Lauren was spotted leaving in a car with Louis.

In a recent interview with Press Party, Dinah Jane revealed more details about their night out, explaining: "Niall and Louis took us out to the club when we were out there. It was a lot of fun. It was my first time to a club out of the country and it was a great experience. It was really popping."

How did they get that magical invite though? Well, it turns out the guys called them "boring" and challenged them to have one hour out with them.

Um. Challenge accepted. Duh.

Dinah Jane said, "We were at Britain's Got Talent and right after the show, we bumped into them at the after party and they were calling us boring because we had a call the next morning at 5am. They were like, 'you guys are so boring, just give us one hour,' and we were like, 'I am going to show you I am not boring! I'll show you how the U.S. parties!'"

People Help Save Beached Great White Shark in Cape Cod

It's not that shocking to hear of shark sightings in the water, but can you imagine stumbling across one on land? That's exactly what happened to Cape Cod beachgoers who discovered a 7-foot great white shark stuck on a beach Monday afternoon. The young shark was apparently so hungry it tried to snack on a seagull and ended up beaching itself on a sandbar after jumping out of the water at low tide.

Surprised witnesses first thought it was dead, but then realized it was still living. They starting throwing buckets of water on it so it could still breathe and stay alive until rescuers showed up. "We felt really bad for it," one helper said. "It was just trying to get some food so we didn't want it to die."

But this shark story has a happy ending. Rescuers were able to return the male shark to the water and revive him. Hopefully he found something else to eat for dinner!

Whoa: Why Was Amanda Seyfried Paid A Lot Less Than Her Male Co-Star?!

Premiere In Time LA
There's been a lot of talk about unequal pay between women and men in Hollywood, and lately it seems paying women a lot less than their male peers in the industry is still prevalent. It was recently revealed that Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams made significantly less profits on their film American Hustle than their male co-stars, reportedly prompting J. Law to ask for a pay bump on her upcoming feature Passengers. Now, Amanda Seyfried is speaking out about a time when she was paid considerably less than a male co-star - even though they were on the "same level" of star power.

The Mean Girls actress discussed her lower salary on an unnamed film in an interview with The Sunday Times, stating:

A few years ago, on one of my big-budget films, I found I was being paid 10 percent of what my male co-star was getting, and we were pretty even in status... I think people think that just because I'm easy-going and game to do things I'll just take as little as they offer.

In a way, Amanda is right - I think that many people in Hollywood are paid less than others because they don't chase after higher salaries. At the same time, we have to ask why studios are okay with settling for such a significantly lower paycheck for their actresses. Why are the powers that be in Hollywood so okay with paying men big bucks, but are seemingly stingy when it comes to the women who also bring in people to see the film?

There's no easy answer, but one way to combat this pay gap in Hollywood is to have big name actresses demand that they are paid on-par with their male co-stars. If a name is driving in numbers at the box office, it shouldn't matter if that person is a woman or a man. Women need to prove to Hollywood that they know their worth - the more women who demand equality, the sooner Hollywood will start taking note.

Miley Cyrus and Stella MaxwellNeed more proof that Miley Cyrus has a girlfriend? If that PDA video of her and her rumored bae Stella Maxwell by the bus a few weeks ago wasn't enough, there are new pics floating around that screams, "We are so together, yo!"

The twerking singer was snapped getting a bite to eat with Stella at Nobu restaurant in Malibu a few days ago. They were spotted holding hands as they walked into the eatery, and sat very close to one another.

We know, we know...they could just be friends, right? Well, a source told E! News that Stella and Maxwell are, "hanging out now and they really like one another."

Grabbing eats wasn't the only thing these two got into over the weekend. They posted several pictures of a dinosaur-riding hangout on Instagram. Miley shared one shot captioned, "Bad a$$ day with a bad a$$ chick @stellamaxwell."

Stella reciprocated, posting the same picture of them, too. "Chillen W my lady @mileycyrus," she labeled it.

These two first sparked dating rumors when they were caught making out and getting quite touchy-feely a few weeks ago outside a club. You can see those pics, here. Miley also recently revealed that she swings both ways, admitting in an interview that she told her mother about it years ago.

Surprised by Miley's new love life? Get it girls!

Brody Jenner Never Hooked Up With Lauren Conrad and His 'Hills' Co-Star is Mad

Hollywood Life�s 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards Sponsored by Express, Sebastian Professional and Dawn - Sponsors
I'm still secretly obsessed with The Hills - I re-watch the MTV reality show every summer just to be reminded of all of the ridiculous drama that went on between the beautiful people of Los Angeles. Of course, as anyone who watched the last episode of The Hills knows, not everything was as it seems: the series finale broke the fourth wall and revealed that the entire last scene was staged, as audiences could infer was much of the drama on the show. Now Brody Jenner is telling the world that he never actually hooked up with any of the girls on the show - including Lauren Conrad. So why is one cast member so mad?

Brody sat down with Yahoo Style to discuss his former MTV reality show days, in which he admits that he's not exactly the "man whore" that the show made him out to be:

I would say that the hardest part of it was having to live that fake reality... The not being able to say, 'I didn't screw every single girl on the show. I didn't have sex with Jen Bunny, I didn't hook up with Audrina, I didn't hook up with any of these girls...And then you get all these people saying, 'Oh, he's a male whore, he sleeps with all of these girls,' when in actuality, I didn't do that.

I'll be honest: I'm a tad disappointed that the romance between Brody and Lauren never actually existed. They were pretty cute together, even if their budding "love" did break apart the friendship between Lauren and Jen Bunney. Speaking of Jen, she seems to be the only cast member a little bit peeved by Brody's confession:

Jen is likely referring to the scene in which she "stole" Brody from Lauren at Lauren's own birthday party. The series heavily implied that Jen and Brody left the party to hookup at his house, and Lauren was pissed. (Though that's a little weird, considering Lauren and Brody were never really an item, either...) Perhaps Jen is mad that Brody allowed her to be villainized on the series as a so-called "man-stealer," when in reality there was no one to even steal.
It's good to know that even 10 years later, the drama on The Hills doesn't stop.

Sinead O'Connor Calls Kim Kardashian a C**t for 'Rolling Stone' Cover

Sinead O'Connor Calls Kim Kardashian a c**tNot everyone was pleased to see Kim Kardashian and her cleavage on the most recent issue of Rolling Stone. A few weeks after the mag hit stands, Sinead O'Connor is just now venting about the E! reality star scoring the cover of the music publication on her Facebook.

In a post, the singer shared a screenshot of Kim's cover and called her a see you next Tuesday. "What is this c**t doing on the cover of Rolling Stone?" she wrote. "Music has officially died. Who knew it would be Rolling Stone that murdered it? Bob Dylan must be f**king horrified. #BoycottRollingStone."
Sinead has been on the cover of Rolling Stone herself in years past, but we're guessing they won't be inviting her back again after she put them on blast. Kim has yet to respond to the insult herself, but we're guessing she feels like something like this about the diss:


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Keep It Real, Stop by Subway for Some Sandwiches

We were pretty sure Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not of this earth. When we pictured what their meals might look like, there were unicorns serving caviar and they were sipping from gold chalices. There were other details, too, but we won't bore you with those.

Surprisingly enough, though, they're just like us and they proved it when they stopped by a Subway in Glendale, CA over the weekend to pick up some sandwiches.

"My co-worker went to the back to tell my manager, 'Did you see who's in the front?' And she was like, 'No,'" an employee told CBS local affiliate KCAL9. "She was like, 'It's Angelina and Brad Pitt!' She's like, 'Is it really them?'"

Yep, it was! And what's even cooler is the fact that they took advantage of the $6 discount menu. According to TMZ, they picked up 2 Meatball Marinara footlongs (great choice!), 1 chicken teriyaki sandwich and 4 kids meals. Their total bill? $44. But, Brad left a $6 tip, which is pretty generous considering we didn't even realize you were supposed to tip your sandwich maker.

The busy family later went on to celebrate their twins' Vivienne and Knox's birthdays with a trip to a local ice skating center. "They rented a bus and headed for an afternoon of ice-skating at Iceland Ice Skating Center," a source told Us Weekly. "Knox and Viv were bundled up with snow hats and mittens. They were really excited about it."

We didn't need another reason (or two!) to love Brad and Angie, but they just keep giving them to us!

Yes, these two are an item.



Bailee Madison- who is all grown up (!)- slayed at BeautyCon in Los Angeles Saturday in a cute, pink Alina German dress, giving us the scoop on her budding relationship with bae Emery Kelly before heading into her #GirlProblems panel.

"He's really sweet," our BFF (in our minds) told us when we asked about their favorite thing to do together. "I met him a while ago. We're just having fun. He's a great guy. His family is great, we hang out with his family all the time. I was just with his little cousins. We all went to the One Direction concert, so, we have a good time. He's very, very sweet."


Speaking of Emery, the Just Go With It star made just about all of her Instagram followers swoon recently when she posted a few coupled up shots of herself hanging out and getting cozy with the singer. "Lovin' LA" she captioned the shot, as fans freaked out. "SERIOUSLY GOALS OH MY GOD STOP," one follower commented. Exactly.

Take a peek at what else Bailee told us, plus, why she's in "the same boat as everyone else" when it comes to long distance situations/relationships (she and Emery are in one).

Just when we thought that Zayn Malik leaving One Direction would be the band's biggest shocker this year, we find out...Louis Tomlinson is going to be a dad! What?!? Yeah, we never saw this one coming either.

People.com reports that Los Angeles stylist Briana Jungwirth is pregnant with Louis' baby, with a source telling the site: "Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother. It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer."

You may recall Louis and Briana were spotted together earlier this year. A friend says that Louis plans to be a "hands-on dad" to the new baby and has been in town to be by Briana's side.

The insider noted, "Louis and Briana care about each other very much and have spent a lot of time together privately over the last few months," adding, "They are both really happy and although they aren't in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby. It's early days and Briana and the baby's health are the most important things right now."

We're still picking our jaws up off the ground, tbh, but wish them the best!

The 5 Best Pieces of Career Advice I Learned in My 20s

$
0
0
Business woman surprised and papers flying in the officeI'm bowing out of my 20s. Not by choice, but because 30 is mere days away and trying to escape it is like running the wrong way on an escalator that keeps speeding up. The weirdest thing about turning 30 is that when I was 20, 30 seemed very, very old. But now that I'm here, it feels more like 30 is the number that should come after 20. Which is to say, I don't feel very old at all. That said, my 20s have been a wonderful time for reckless love, shoe-string budget travel, and of course, gaining valuable life lessons.

I might not yet understand the stock markets or have a solid grasp on retirement plans, but I certainly have gained a lot of valuable experience when it comes to career. Having already switched careers in my mid-20s, from lawyer to writer, I had to learn the hard way a lot of things I wish I'd had someone write down in list format for me. Which is why I'm writing those things down in list format, because everyone deserves the honest career advice that doesn't necessarily come from teachers, employers, or your parents. So here's some advice based on what I learned about careers during my 20s.

1. Don't Work for Free

There's a difference between exchanging your inexperienced labor for experience, and working for free. Early in your career, you need to be acutely aware of this, especially when you're applying to unpaid internships, or volunteering any of your creative work on a pro-bono basis. A lot of "internships" exploit their unpaid interns, and will have you do grunt work like photocopying, image editing or running returns for them. I once had a "writing internship" where I was put in a corner all day to re-size photos. No one spoke to me or took the time to teach me anything I didn't already know.

Basically, jobs that won't give you any industry knowledge or practical skills, but are happy to lump you with the menial tasks that none of the actual employees want to do, are a waste of your time. Internships should always be an exchange. You're not there to do things you're already adept at. You should be offering your free time in exchange for learning about the industry you're in, the job you're doing, and the roles of those around you. That's how you're paid at an internship: with tangible, practical, real-life experience you can take away with you and use to gain paid work.

2. You Can Leave If You're Not Happy

If you have a job you're not happy with, it's okay to walk away from it. Don't be irresponsible and walk into nothingness: have a plan. Know you can rely on savings or supplementary work. But don't be afraid to quit a job if it's not working out, whether you've been there for three months or three years. People of this generation are expected to change jobs constantly, so it doesn't "look bad" on your resume if you've left a job after a short amount of time. As someone who has also employed staff to work for me, the best interviews are always the most honest. If someone can articulately explain to me why they've left a job, taken a gap year, etc., it can be very impressive. Fluidity is something that's a new and progressive concept in careers, and unlike our parents' generation we don't have to tie ourselves to one desk forever. And someone who is looking to improve themselves and their career can be a very compelling candidate for a job, especially in creative industries where challenging and innovating is more important than maintaining a stale status quo.

3. You Don't Have to Decide Now for the Rest of Your Life

Look at me: I'm 30 and I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up! If you're someone with an intense passion, and you're lucky enough to be able to do the thing you love for money, good for you. But not everyone falls in love with their career right away, and it's okay to experiment and embrace change when it comes to your career path. I'm currently going back to school for my MBA, because I think in the future I might like to deviate from writing, perhaps getting into the not-for-profit sector. Who knows? I certainly don't. Always be open to learning, and if your career naturally adapts from one direction to another, that's okay too. You're never too old, it's never too late, there's always time and opportunity, especially if you're hardworking and willing to make it for yourself.

4. College Doesn't Define You

I went to law school, and I would never take it back. I loved every second of it and I made some of the best friends I've ever had in my entire life there. I also have a media & communications degree and as mentioned, hopefully soon an MBA. And yet I could wind up being a yoga instructor. Your education is valuable not just for your career, but for broadening your mind and challenging you. If you study one thing, and wind up working in another area, embrace it. You don't have to be married to your degree for the entirety of your career.

5. Persistence Is Essential

The most important thing to remember is to never be deterred. When I was in school I was always top of my class. Through university, it was a similar story. Every internship, job, campus-based project got a big "YES" stamped to it as soon as it fell out of my mouth. Out in the real world, there's a whole lot of "NO." Don't let all the "No" get you down, because you're probably going to hear it a lot. There's a lot to be said for persistence. If you want something in your career, never take "No" for an answer. Whenever you hear "No", that means, "Try again." Work hard, take responsibility for your mistakes and keep going back for more when it comes to your career. Eventually, something will stick. On the flip side, nothing is ever going to come together if you just quit trying after a letdown. Be your most diligent, resilient, elbow-greased self and good things will come, even if sometimes it feels like they won't. I promise you, if you work for it, it will come.
