Here's How a 10-Year-Old Made $10,000 With Her Lemonade Stand

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade (in a #BUILTBYGIRLS way).

After a fire destroyed her family's home in March 2013, 10-year-old Alyssa De La Sala was determined to help her parents raise money to rebuild it. The insurance money they were given wasn't enough to completely rebuild it, so Alyssa set up a lemonade stand in her hometown of Tampa, Fla. May 16 and went to work.

Once she set it up, Alyssa wrote a letter to radio show, "The Kane Show," and asked them to advertise her lemonade stand. Then, the radio station helped get a local TV station involved, according to ABC 7. The family couldn't believe all of the support they received.

There were so many people in line at Alyssa's lemonade stand that police officers had to direct the traffic. "I am speechless, overwhelmed," Alyssa said. "It is amazing." Alyssa's brother Damien also pitched in, selling home-baked goods. "Thank you for your support, everything counts and helps us get home," Alyssa said.
One stranger gave them $500 and another gave $1,000, just for one cup of lemonade. Alyssa's one day of lemonade sales alone (a whopping $10,000), along with the family's GoFundMe page raised almost $15,000 for the family.

"We knew we had a good community, but when you just see everyone here it is really overwhelming," her mom Jenn De La Sala said. "She took it upon herself to just want to do something to help mommy and daddy, I don't think she expected it to be anything like this either."

The family has also received pledges from contractors and specialists who want to help them out and a local restaurant who wants to help Alyssa hold another lemonade sale at their establishment, according to ABC News. The De La Salas originally received $50,000 from insurance, but received at $80-$100,000 estimate from a contractor to finish the reconstruction of their home.

It looks like they're on their way to heading back to their home soon.


Girl Gets in Trouble for Inappropriate Dress, But She's Totally Covered?

student trouble over dress code inappropriate dress
Ugh. These school dress code violation stories just leave us shaking our heads.

Veronica Ferry, a 16-year-old who attends Clayton High School in Clayton, North Carolina, was told her fairly conservative outfit violated school dress code guidelines.

We honestly can't figure out what's wrong with her dress that she would get in trouble. The floral sundress doesn't have a plunging neckline, the length seems appropriate and, if the straps are too skinny, they're covered by a jean jacket. Oh, and she wore a pair of shorts under the dress, too!

The kicker? She's worn the outfit before without anyone batting an eyelash.

So why did her dress choice come under fire? When she went to the office to drop off a doctor's note for her school absence, she said an administrator gave her a hard time, as Veronica explained, "She just gave me mean looks and how you shouldn't wear inappropriate clothes to school,"

Another school administrator told Veronica to call home for a change of clothes that were more appropriate.

It all left Veronica very upset, as she explained, "I just felt like the teachers were disappointed and that I didn't have any self respect and they just talked to me in a mean and degrading way. They just made me feel really bad."

According to ABC 11, the school dress code indicates that "appropriate shorts are no higher than four inches above the top of the knee and skirts and dresses should be three inches above the same point. Inappropriate would be anything that clearly disrupts class or learning activities."

Veronica's mother, Tammy, argued, "Explain to me why it's inappropriate, and explain to me why you're not enforcing the dress code for everybody."

Are Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris Working on Music Together?

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris at the Billboard AwardsTaylor Swift and Calvin Harris made their couple debut at the Billboard Music Awards, and looked perfect together. But it seems like they're moving to the next level pretty fast...ya know, song writing!

According to new reports, Tay and Cal are slowly becoming each other's musical inspiration. A source told OK! Magazine that Taylor and Calvin "are crazy about each other, but are really stimulated by their unique approaches to songwriting. They're slowly becoming each other's muses."

The lovebirds reportedly started playing music together during a low-key date night at Taylor's mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The insider told the mag, "They often end up in fits of laughter, but they've come up with some very interesting melodies and lyrics and she wants to record some of them."

We seriously can't wait to hear what they come up with. You KNOW she's going to write song about him, too. So cute!

Jordin Sparks Embraces Her "Tiger Stripe" Stretch Marks

HealthCorp's 9th Annual GalaJordin Sparks isn't into filtering away her flaws on Instagram.

The 25-year-old singer embraces her body, particularly when it comes to her stretch marks. "For the most part, I don't put a filter on at all," Jordin told People about her social media pics. "I post a lot of pictures without makeup and in sweats. I feel like sometimes people can really overkill on the [filters]. There are all these apps out there where you can Photoshop your body and take away everything. I feel like it's too much."

As for her stretch marks, Jordin said, "I have stretch marks behind my legs and on my back. I call them my tiger stripes. And I'm good with my thighs touching. I grew up in a family where we have meat on our bones and I'm used to that." So, she embraces them.

Jordin also opened up about her 50-pound weight to the mag, saying, "I changed the way I thought about food and exercising. "I listen to my body to tell me that I'm full."

Aside from going without a filter on Instagram, the American Idol alum showed off her natural beauty in People's latest issue. In it, the photos of Jordin and other celebs like Full House alum Candace Cameron Bure are unretouched, with all of the women looking stunning without the help of makeup or Photoshop.

If it seems like Jordin has an extra glow in the shots (or just in general lately), perhaps it has something to do with her new relationship with rapper Sage the Gemini. Around the time she posted a shot of herself smooching her man and confirming their relationship, she told Entertainment Tonight, "We're having fun. He's a really good guy. The pictures speak for themselves...I don't just kiss people!"

KUWTK Sneak Peek: Battle of the Best Friends

Ok, things just got really awkward.

During the Kardashians' family trip to Montana, Kim Kardashian brought her BFF Jonathan Cheban and Khloe Kardashian brought her bestie Malika Haqq.

In this sneak peek from this week's Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim and Khlo are playing a game of pool with their respective best buds and Khloe mentions that she thinks Jonathan owes Malika an apology. "For what?" Jonathan asks. Well, glad you asked!

"He said I was jealous because his best friend is more famous," Malika explains. Um, what?! Are we really going there? Jonathan has a different version of the story, claiming he just said he got his room paid for (by Kim) because Kim is "more famous."

Apparently, there was some confusion about the accommodations and Khloe says Kim didn't tell her that the house they were staying in had limited space.

Either way, we hate everything about this conversation. Two of the most famous people in the world trying to decide who is MORE famous? And if we're arguing about which Kardashian sister is so famous, why didn't Kourtney Kardashian jump into the ring on that one?

Girl Group Dream Reunite for Epic 'He Loves U Not' A Cappella Version

dream girl group reunion he loves you not
Back in the day, the girl group Dream was put together and had their biggest hit with the 2000 track "He Loves U Not." The group may have been short-lived, but the song has a special place in our hearts. Then the ladies of Dream reunited recently to sing an a cappella version of the song and the feels came flooding back.

They released their biggest hit "He Loves U Not" in 2000 and their followup single, "This Is Me" had some success, with the music video hitting number one on TRL.

Dream had a lineup change and eventually broke up, despite trying on a sexier look to spark interest in the group again. Three members of the group reunited in 2008 with a new band, Lady Phoenix, with the hope to have a reality show to audition new members. The show never got picked up and the new group disbanded.

Holly Arnstein, Diana Ortiz, Ashley Poole, and Melissa Schuman posted the a cappella version on YouTube and they definitely have still got it! Maybe they should consider a comeback reunion?

Ashley Poole posted a clip on Instagram, writing: "R E U N I T E D & #itfeelssogood #HeLovesMeHeLovesUNot #Dream #girlgroup #music #singing #songbirds @melissaaschuman @lovely_ladyd @hollybollybee @MTV"

Jennifer Lawrence Nicholas Hoult reuniteNo bad blood between these exes! Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult split up last August, but they were all smiles as they reunited on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse.

Director Bryan Singer shared this shot of the costars who play Mystique and Beast in the franchise on his Instagram Thursday. While it's great to see them back together, it also makes us a little sad since J. Law has said this X-Men movie will be her last.

Before getting back to work, the Oscar winner was south of the border learning to spearfish in Mexico. A Punta Mita company called Spearmex posted pics of J. Law at sea looking like she was having a blast during her fishing adventure.

Harry Styles Hangs Out With Mick Jagger: Boy George Calls Harry 'Sexually Ambiguous'

Harry Styles and Mick Jagger hang out womens shirtHarry Styles not only went to the Rolling Stones concert earlier this week - he also snagged a pic with Mick Jagger at the after party! Check out Harry and Mick looking super chummy.

'80s pop singer Boy George seems to believe that Harry wants to be just like Mick. We tend to think Boy George just likes to stir the pot with the One Direction guys (remember that feud with Liam Payne a while back?).

The singer told The Sun (via the Washington Post): "I love the Seventies, with Bowie and Mick Jagger and Marc Bolan, who were all gloriously ambiguous about their sexuality. You heard stuff but you never knew if it was true. What's wonderfully ironic now is that Harry Styles, bless him, clearly wants to be Jagger. Maybe he is sexually ambiguous. He may be."

Harry also got the fandom plenty excited with his Rolling Stones-related Instagram photo this week, with plenty reading into why, after a long run of black and white pics on Instagram (eight months!), did he finally post something in color? The world may never know.

One other little interesting point - was Harry wearing a women's shirt in that pic with Mick? The internet seems to have tracked down the $1500 YSL women's blouse.

Hot, hot, hot! Check out Nick Jonas in this steamy new music video for Sage The Gemini and Nick's "Good Thing." Nick brings the smolder in a crisp white outfit with ripped knees, while bikini clad women dance around him.

He also changes it up, wearing all black with a cap and also shows off his sexy arm muscles in a sleeveless shirt at another point while a woman seems very into him. Who can blame her?

Nick also released a "Chains" remix featuring Stormzy. In the clip below, Nick said "having spent a lot of time in the UK this year, falling in love with the music scene over there, it made perfect sense to do a collaboration."

Nick talks more about working with Stormzy in the BBC clip below.

demi lovato sam smith collaborating fix a heart
If this buzz is true, it will literally be music to our ears...are Demi Lovato and Sam Smith collaborating on a new song? Well, nothing has been confirmed, but Demi and Sam had a little back and forth on Twitter that has us hopeful!

Sam tweeted earlier this week: "You never really can fix a heart."

Demi was quick to jump on his mention of her song, "Fix a Heart," writing to Sam: "let's do a remake of that song together." The hashtag #DemiLovatoFeatSamSmith started trending shortly after.

"Fix a Heart" was on Demi's 2011 album Unbroken and is still one of our favorites, so we'd love to hear it again with Sam and Demi's beautiful voices. Make it happen, guys!

Kourtney Kardashian Is a Blonde Bombshell in Super Sexy Throwback Pic

Kourtney Kardashian, is that you?!

The reality star has had dark brown hair for as long as we can remember - literally, she's hardly even had any highlights. So, this pic was a big shock for us.

"Shipwrecked," Kourt captioned the throwback pic of herself, looking a lot sexier than we would picture someone looking after a shipwreck - you know, because you're more worried about staying alive than making sure your swim style is on point.

Kourtney is certainly not the only Kardashian/Jenner sister to experiment with blonde hair. Kendall Jenner recently rocked the blonde (also for a photoshoot), which kind of blew our minds because she looked like a totally different person. That's Kenny on the right...

And sister Kim Kardashian dove right into the deep end and actually went platinum, for real.

Khloe Kardashian is rocking pretty light hair these days, too, but second to Kylie Jenner, Khlo probably switches up her style the most.

Katy Perry Reportedly Planning to Release Another Album By 2016

Katy Perry Holds Good news, KatyCats!

Katy Perry's manager just announced that the pop star will be releasing another new album soon. According to Idolator, Katy's manager said during music and entertainment conference in Singapore that, "She plans to release her next album by 2016."

Of course, we're hoping that means January 1, 2016, which could potentially mean that we have less than eight months to wait!

We're slightly impatient when it comes to Katy's music, so that feels like a long time, but as major fans, we know exactly what she's been up to on her Prismatic World Tour and we can't even imagine how she's had the time to even think about a new album. We're glad she has, but wow!

Katy's last album, Prism, sold 286,000 copies in its first week and "Dark Horse," (just one of the album's hit singles) spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard charts.

Given that Prism was a style switch-up from her previous albums, we're curious to see what the next one sounds like.

Vanessa Hudgens Helped Selena Gomez Avoid Justin Bieber at Met Gala?

Vanessa Hudgens and Selena GomezWe've all been there. You know, that awkward situation where you're at the same event as your ex...

That's exactly what happened to Selena Gomez at the Met Gala a few weeks ago. She was at the fashion gathering with her BFF Vanessa Hudgens, and seemed to try to do whatever she could to avoid a run-in with Justin Bieber, her ex-boo.

Vanessa appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, May 21, where she was asked whether she was an accomplice in helping Sel ditch the Biebs at the Gala.

"Getting spicy now are we?" she replied while trying to kind of play it off. "Um... I mean, not really."

She went on, "She's one of my best friends and you just want to have your girlfriends' backs...so that's what I did. We didn't really try to avoid him or anything. I mean, no one really wants to see your ex boyfriend."

Well, that's a rational response.

It doesn't seem like Justin was that set on skipping out on seeing Selena. If you recall that's where he screamed out to everyone that she looked gorgeous.

Sel didn't seem too fazed by Bieber, though. There were reports that she looked super happy hanging with Vanessa at after-parties that night. A source told Us Magazine that Bieber "tried very hard" to speak to the "Heart Wants What It Wants" singer, but their run-in was brief.

Kendall Jenner Hangs With Rob Kardashian's Ex Rita Ora

amfAR's 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala, Presented By Bold Films And Harry Winston - DinnerUh oh...Kendall Jenner might have an awkward conversation with brother Rob Kardashian waiting for her when she gets home.

The 19-year-old model attended amfAR's 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala in France last night and she was spotted chatting it up with her big brother's ex, Rita Ora.

Now, if they'd had a regular breakup, this wouldn't be too big of a deal, but their breakup was not exactly clean. When they split, Rob tweeted (and then deleted) a pretty intense Twitter rant slamming a cheating ex. Given the timing, everyone assumed it was about Rita, although Rob later denied that he was speaking about her.

So, who really knows what was going on with that, but we do know that at the 2014 MTV VMAs, Kim Kardashian refused to sit next to Rita because she feels like Rita messed with Rob's head.

Maybe Rob is over the breakup so the whole family has decided to just drop their beef at this point. Or maybe Kendall never had any at all. If you have been Keeping Up With The Kardashians (even just a little bit), you know that Kendall is pretty much the Switzerland of the famous fam and isn't about having any drama with anybody.

one direction zayn malik bad blood feud since breakupNaughty Boy likes to talk and, this time, he's not trying to stir the pot and get One Direction fans riled up, but he's maybe trying to smooth things over by explaining that 1D and Zayn Malik are doing just fine since the breakup.

Zayn's producer pal spoke with BANG Showbiz recently (via Press Party) about how things have been between the guys since Zayn left: "I don't think there's any real bad blood, especially from this side. I just want people to support him [Zayn] and prepare for his future. I think people just need to respect his reasons for leaving."

Naughty Boy added, "Right now it's down time for Zayn but I think there is a journey for him, I think for any kind of band there has to be a destiny for each of them. Nothing lasts forever."

As for Naughty Boy teasing that there's more to Zayn's decision to leave the band than fans know about, he explained, "He's in a very difficult position. He won't tell his side of the story yet and that's why there has to be radio silence... (I spoke out for him) because that's the rock n roll in me, I'm not going to take s**t from anybody. I took my own road to get here, I'm not part of a PR machine, or discovery and marketing. I've done it all myself. I've done whatever it takes to get here. But I do feel a bit sorry for the fans because they've been brought up with this."

Britney Spears does the same show over and over in Las Vegas and while that might start to feel a little bit redundant for the pop star, one thing that keeps it (very!) exciting is her act during her song "Freakshow" where she puts an audience member on a leash and 'walks' them around the stage. If a celebrity is in the audience, they're usually the ones who get leashed up.

Last night, BritBrit reunited with her "Toxic" video costar, Tyson Beckford as she brought him up on stage during the song.

She later posted a pic of them on Instagram with the caption, Thanks for jumping on stage with me last night@TysonCBeckford!! Your dance moves were 🔥🔥🔥."

And we don't doubt that they were...

The model/actor is currently the special celebrity guest host at Chippendales in Las Vegas, and judging by the lap dance he recently gave Mariah Carey during the show, things are going REALLY well.

Bowlero Mar Vista Celebrity Grand OpeningWe know Brody Jenner was not happy when he received the invite for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding and he saw that he was not allowed to bring a plus one. At the time, Brody had recently started dating current girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter and since the venue had limited space, Brody only got a solo invite.

Nearly a year later, Brody and Kaitlynn went to a wedding together and Brody couldn't help but take a (not so) subtle jab at the KimYe wedding situation. "Look...@kaitlynn_carter and I finally get to go to a wedding together!" he captioned a now-deleted photo of them.

There have been rumors swirling for awhile that there is tension between the Kardashian and Jenner families and it wasn't helped by the fact that only the Jenner kids (minus Kendall and Kylie) appeared in Bruce Jenner's special with Diane Sawyer and the Kardashians (plus Kendall and Kylie) all did their own special on E!.

Brody also said that he didn't watch the show, but he quickly squashed the feud speculation when he told Us Weekly that he heard it was "great."

During an interview with Extra, Brody addressed the rumors directly. When he was asked what he was going to get KimYe for their wedding anniversary, Brody replied, "To be honest, I never really hang out with them." But, that doesn't mean there's bad blood between them. "I love Kim to death," he explained, "But I don't really see them...they're very busy, as am I, so we don't really hang out that much."

After revealing that he wishes he went to the KimYe wedding, but had work commitments, Brody joked about all the speculation about their feud, saying, "It's so funny, I always read these things that Kim and I are beefing all the time, it's such B.S."

As for the rumored divide between the two families? "Absolutely not," Brody answered. "I love my sisters. They're incredible people and we get along just great."

Poor Khloe!

In this sneak peek from this week's episode, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner helicopter(?!) up 10,000 feet to the slope they're going to tackle and we feel bad for Khloe before her skis even hit the snow.

In a previous sneak peek, Kylie said she loves a good adrenaline rush and wanted to go up to a slope that even the ski instructor was like "yeah, not today." Khloe was so relieved and we thought she'd be back at the resort drinking hot chocolate at this point...so we're not really sure how Kylie talked her into this!

When they get to the top, Khloe pretty much a**plants the second she starts heading down...and in her defense, we would have, too! "I was freaking out at the bottom of the mountain," Khloe later tells the camera, "so now I'm like really terrified."

Once she falls, it's almost impossible for her to get back up...because the slope is THAT steep and her skis keep sliding. Meanwhile, Kylie is just waiting for her to get back up so she can continue being a total pro on her snowboard and making it all look way too easy.

"Although we are so high up, the terrain is not as crazy as I thought it would be," Kylie says. "But it is so funny watching Khloe clearly having a hard time with this."

We are actually really proud of Khloe for stepping so far outside of her comfort zone and even trying it. Plus, once she got back up, she seemed like she was doing great. Go, Khlo!
