This Senior's Grad Dress Was the Ultimate Feminist Statement

Erinne Paisley Malala Yousafzai feminist graduation dress
Erinne Paisley's feminist graduation dress got people talking - and thankfully, this time, it wasn't because of some crazy suspension for a dress code violation.

Erinne, a Canadian high school student and activist, DIY-ed her own graduation dress from her old pre-calculus notes in order to make a major statement about girls' education. After fashioning the dress together with duct tape, she wrote in red lettering, "I've recieved [sic] my education. Not every woman has that right. Malala.org."

The Web address, Malala.org, refers to Pakistani activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's organization, The Malala Fund, which works to educate women and girls in countries where it is socially unacceptable, or even dangerous, for girls to attend school.

Even better? Erinne, who will be attending the University of Toronto in the fall, is now auctioning the dress online, and it's currently going for a whopping $940. Of course, Erinne plans to donate all the money she earns from the dress to The Malala Fund.

We think it's super amazing that Erinne used her big day in the spotlight to benefit girls who might otherwise not have the same opportunity!

Carrie Underwood at the 2015 CMT Music AwardsCarrie Underwood just had a baby? Prove it!

The country singer stunned everyone when she made her first, big, post-baby appearance and graced the 2015 CMT Music Awards red carpet Wednesday night. She made jaws drop by walking the carpet in a white, short Thomas Wylde dress. There MUST be something in the water!

Carrie and her NHL hunky, hubby Mike Fisher welcomed their first child, Isaiah Michael Fisher, back in February. But since giving birth, the new mom has kept quiet, even skipping out on the Grammy Awards a few months ago.

Her absence doesn't mean she hasn't given us glimpses of her new bundle of joy. Just last week she posted an adorable shot of him chilling backstage with Mike during one of her rehearsals.

Welcome back to the red carpet, Carrie! You look awesome...but then again, you always do!

Selena Gomez Asked Taylor Swift to Help Her Write Songs?

Selena Gomez and Taylor SwiftNeed helping writing songs about your ex-boyfriends and enemies? Who else is better to call for backup other than Taylor Swift to complete that mission?

Selena Gomez is reportedly reaching out to her talented BFF to help her write new songs. So should we expect Justin Bieber diss tracks penned by Tay? Eh, not so fast.

According to HollywoodLife.com, Tay is "helping Selena Gomez write her own songs." They say "Taylor's being very hands-on in the entire process."

While that could easily be the case, GossipCop.com say it's not true. Their Selena source told them that although the girls are BFFs, the song-writing talk simply is "not true." Ahh, way to break our hearts!

How amazing would Taylor and Selena tunes be? You know there would be some Bieber disses in the songs! Selena actually just sparked Jelena rumors all over again this week when she posted a sexy shower pic on Instagram, and Justin posted a similar shot shortly afterwards.

Guess the ladies' epic "Bad Blood" music video will be all we get from the two of them for awhile. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the whole music collabo thing, though...because that would just be friggin' amazing.


Nicki Minaj Fires Back After Ex-Boyfriend Blasts Her in New Song

Power 105.1's Powerhouse 2013Nicki Minaj had quite a few things to say after her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels released a new song about their relationship.

In "Love the Most," which made its debut on iTunes Wednesday, the aspiring rapper didn't hold back his feelings about the demise of their relationship, rapping about everything from Nicki's new love with Meek Mill to accusing her of being ashamed of their own 12-year stint.

"What a shame / It took a split for them to know I was your man / Got so tired of hidin' it / Head high with no pride in it / Guess I wasn't cool enough cause in our pictures we hidin' it," Safaree rapped. In the hook, Marques Anthony sings, "Why do people you love the most always want to hurt you? How can I trust you again when I'm not around you. But when I'm down and out and it's cold outside. Where were you?"

But, wait. There's more. Safaree continued, "Twelve years up in flames / Thought you woulda had my kid / Year 3 got engaged / Now we movin' out of rage." He also referenced Nicki kissing Nas in her "Ride by My Side" music video, rapping, "I had to watch you kiss Nas and pretend it's all cool," he rapped. "Inside I was feeling like a mother**kin' fool."
2013 BET Awards - ShowThen, before the song was over, he brought up Meek. "That's between me and you, it was always me and you / We ain't do this off opinions / It was only me and you / Then you let somebody new come and whisper in your ear / Didn't think he woulda told you that was my biggest fear," he continued.

"Don't make me do this," Nikki started on Twitter last night (and later deleted that text and most of the following). "Lesson: don't cheat on a loyal woman. God will punish u. When he does, tell people the truth. The truth may set u free. Love. Always." She continued: "Took a person with me to fame & fortune. These dudes leave their girl in the hood. Tell people the truth or you will b doomed."

"God gave me a good heart. I always let ppl get over on me way too long. But that's why I'm blessed. I'll always b blessed. May God keep u," she went on. "Enough with the pity party just live your life. I'm happy today not b/c of meek. But b/c I know Im a good person. Don't hate u. Will always love u. I forgive u. It's time to move on."

"And just for the record, I'm in love with meek. Lol and now I have a huge smile on my face," she added. "Making a 12 yr relationship work at such young ages? We're BOTH the real MVP. things got rocky at the end but we had a GREAT run. #B4Ujudge." Nicki and Safaree ended their 12-year relationship late last year. A few months later, the "Only" rapper sparked speculation she was dating Meek when she posted a pic of herself giving him a kiss. They were also spotted canoodling during Grammy week earlier this year.

In April, Nicki posted a shot of herself wearing a huge yellow diamond heart-shaped ring on that finger, fueling rumors that they are engaged, but Meek later shut those down, saying the ring was not an engagement ring, but, just a gift.

Liam Payne emotional on stage Zayn Malik videoAw, baby. Liam Payne was spotted looking noticeably emotional during One Direction's recent show in Vienna, but did it have anything to do with missing Zayn Malik? Hmm. Let's investigate the video footage, shall we?

During their performance of "You And I," eagle eyed fans noticed that Liam was looking a bit forlorn, as he glanced to the place that Zayn would be standing on stage beside him.

Was it the Zayn-sized hole in his heart that had Liam looking blue? Niall Horan was quick to pick up on Liam's case of the sads and lend a helpful hug, which only adds to the layer of feels we're already trying to manage.

Meanwhile, fans are rallying behind Liam by trending #LiamDay and sharing some of their fave moments. Leave it to the fandom to lift those guys up when they need it!

24-Year-Old's Clothing Label Combats Police Brutality

day 6.1 | mid-thought

A photo posted by Ms. Gloss + Guerilla Gloss (@randigloss) on

Randi Gloss, then 22, pored over the stack of colorful handwritten signs that would soon be carried by foot, almost 1.6 miles, at the August 2013 March on Washington. The 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech was in just a few days, and around her, mentees of a friend's after-school program busily sketched their own designs.

She paused, re-reading the words she scrawled vertically down the sign in front of her: "Emmitt [sic] & Amadou & Sean & Oscar & Trayvon. More than just black faces in tragic places."

"That hit me in the chest when I did that," Randi said, knowing this sign had to be hers. She had no way of knowing, however, that one year later, this sign's straight-forward design would be the backbone of her future GLOSSRAGS clothing label.Randi Gloss/Glossrags
She said, "It was a very simple way to address a complex issue - that issue being about black violence, whether initiated by a police officer or an individual."

A few days after the sign writing, Randi began the march with her mother, her friend Malcolm and his mentees. Immediately, she realized she was on to something. "Every 10 feet or so, I was getting stopped for folks to take pictures of the sign," she said. "I think [the design] grabbed people's attention because it wasn't something new. It's not a fad. It's really happening, and it's been happening."

As soon as she got home, she grabbed an orange Post-it and sketched out a T-shirt design.

"That's always been a part of me - that creativity aspect," Randi said, reflecting on the moment a few years later. "I was no Picasso, but I could sketch out a T-shirt."

Randi reached out to her mentor, Peter Chang, with her proposal. After figuring out a rough business model, Peter gave Randi $500 to start GLOSSRAGS, the clothing label that would house her shirt design, now called "And Counting."

In April 2014, Randi debuted her tees (black unisex cuts with white writing) at the Broccoli City Fest. At the end of the day, she sold half her inventory. Six months later, the "And Counting" shirt was bought 500 times in more than 25 states. In that time, the number of listed names has also swelled - from 6 to 17.

Randi Gloss/Glossrags
Now, what keeps Randi going is the shirts' ability to raise awareness about the issue. "There's a big general lack of knowledge, so any conversation is a productive conversation," she said.

Recently, a student reached out to Randi through Instagram, sharing what happened when he wore his "And Counting" shirt. A man approached the student and asked, "Are you going to be next?"

"The man thought they were basketball players," Randi explained. "There's a large demographic that doesn't know what's going on, and there's a large portion that do know some of the names but not all of them."

clearly in deep thought. 📷: @obshoots_ #GLOSSRAGS

Randi understood she needed to tell more of these stories, and she joined The Millenial Trains Project to take the next step. The nonprofit guides young entrepreneurs on a literal train ride across the country, where they can spread their message through grassroots efforts at each stop. Randi invited individuals from Los Angeles, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. to come forward, so she could record their stories about what it means to be black in today's society.

The collected stories will be released later this year as weekly web series The Conscious Chronicles.

Maintaining GLOSSRAGS at her home base of Washington, D.C. is no easy feat, especially as the company grows from shirt selling to nationwide storytelling. But Randi finds the positivity in watching young people take part in the movement. "That gives me hope because they're not backing down," she said. It lets them know we have a long fight to continue engaging with, but we're not going to go quietly."

Kim Kardashian's MySpace Profile From 2006 Will Make You LOL

Talk about a #TBT! Before the days of Facebook, Instagram and Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian was just a girl on MySpace...or a princess, rather. Thanks to her MySpace page from 2006 that's been unearthed, we can get some insight into Kim before she was a household name.

Clearly, Kim knew one that one day she'd become tabloid royalty. Her profile name was "Princess Kimberly" and her profile declared: "I'm a princess and you're not, so there!"
Kim Kardashian MySpace 2006Of her 856 friends, her Top 8 included her sister Kourtney Kardashian as well as her ex-boyfriend Ray J, who she had a sex tape with. But lest we think she's super shallow, Kim shows some depth. Under the "Who I'd like to meet" section, Kim replies "God." She also lists her late dad Robert Kardashian as her hero, which is kind of sweet.

As for if she wants children, Kim, now a mom to North West and pregnant with her second baby, says "someday." Does this make anyone else feel old?!





Mark Ruffalo Reveals the Script That Touched Him the Most

AOL BUILD Speaker Series: Maya Forbes And Mark Ruffalo Discuss Their New Film When Kathryn Luttner, Cambio's Col[lab] manager, gave me the chance of asking one question about anything to one of my favorite celebrities, I had a hard time trying to think of questions. Brainstorming became harder when I saw Mark Ruffalo's name on the list!

I've always loved Mark and every single one of his movies, although I am still trying to catch up on a few of them. He is, in my opinion, an incredible actor and very versatile. With interest in knowing more about his personal opinion on his films, I asked him a simple question: Which movie touched you the most from the moment that you read the script?

Mark's answer didn't surprise me in part. He was doing the AOL BUILD to promote his new flick, Infinitely Polar Bear. It focuses on a bipolar father of two who has to change his life, and in part, try to surpass his condition in order to move in with his daughters and care for them while his wife attends Columbia University. Because of this, I had a hunch that Mark would say this script touched him the most.

But the surprising thing that I did not know was that he has family who suffers from bipolar disorder, so that's why this script was so personally raw and touching to him.

This Woman Had the Best Response Ever to "Make-Up Shaming" Haters

Sometimes you just have to put people in their place.

Few things are worse than being criticized for who you are, specifically when it comes to the way you like to look. YouTube star NikkiTutorials is firing back at those who turn up their nose at women who love to wear make-up, shutting down "make-up shamers" in a video post on her popular channel.
"I've been noticing a lot lately that girls have been almost ashamed to say they love make-up, because nowadays when you say you love make-up, you either do it because you want to look good for boys, you do it because you're insecure, or you do it because you don't love yourself," she said. "I feel like in a way lately it's almost a crime to love doing your make-up."

It clearly is not. Still, the beauty vlogger has dealt with plenty of side-eyes herself. Nikki - who is stunning without one drop of make-up on - said she's gotten looks of disbelief when she has gone make-up free in public and showed people the make-up looks she's posted of herself on YouTube.
After watching an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race where contestants wore "half-drag, half male" make-up, Nikki was inspired to do it too, and show people everywhere that anyone can look beautiful with - or without - make-up. In the video, Nikki takes her half make-up transformation step by steps as she talks about why she likes wearing make-up and how she uses it to enhance her beauty.
Don't get it twisted, though. Nikki isn't encouraging ladies to slap make-up over their insecurities, feel better in the moment and still not be okay with who they are underneath it. She's simply sending a message that even with all of the "make-up free" selfies floating around, if you want to wear make-up, there's nothing wrong with that.

"I just want people to know that make-up is fun," she said, adding that if someone wants to go all out with their make-up it's fine. "There are no rules to make-up and make-up is there for days when you want to look hella good. And that's why I love the power of make-up."

We love the power of Nikki's message. Brush the haters all the way off girl.

Kendall Jenner looks like a boss in her new Estee Lauder campaign! The 19-year-old is sporting a much more mature look and looks like a woman who means business.

Back in November, Kendall shared the exciting news that she had become the new face of the makeup brand, gushing on Instagram that she still couldn't believe it. Well, Kenny - you'd better believe it, because the campaign is here and it's amazing!

Estee Lauder shared a BTS video of Kendall walking around on a backlot wearing all red everything and it's just. so. fierce!
She also shared a second image from the campaign, captioning it, "Who needs one ad when you can have two...at the same time." Hey, we're not complaining!
Back when Kendall first signed with the brand, she did an interview with Estee Lauder spokeswoman Joan Smalls and revealed how she found out she'd landed the job. "I was so excited. I found out backstage in Paris and they told me I couldn't say anything. So I saw the text and I was like, "Oh my God! I have to keep this to myself." When I got to my room I started freaking out."

She also said that the only person she told was her mom. "Yeah, my mom was the only person I told. She was crying, but then she cries at everything," she joked.

Hey, at the end of the day a momager is still a mom who is very proud of her super successful daughter- and we don't blame her!

Nick Jonas Wants to Kiss Ariana Grande, Marry Meghan Trainor?

Nick Jonas f**k marry kill ariana grande meghan trainor kelly clarkson
Last time Nick Jonas had to mull over who he would kiss, marry or leave during Capital FM's "Lips, Wife, Leave It" game (their kinder version of 'F**k, Marry, Kill'), he decided Demi Lovato was wife material, Selena Gomez was kissable, and he'd leave Miley Cyrus.

The radio station decided to put Nick to the test again, with the choices of Kelly Clarkson, Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande. Really? How can you make a person choose between three awesome women?

Nick gave it some quick thought before settling on "leaving" Kelly - but only because she's already married! He explained, "I'm going on tour with Kelly Clarkson later this year and she's awesome, but she's already married. She has a child so I'm going to leave it."

As for the remaining categories, Nick said, "Meghan...marry. Because I know Meghan really well now and we're homies so you want to marry your homie." Aww. He added that his girlfriend Olivia "loves her" as well.

So...pucker up, Ariana! Nick explained, "That is what was left, that is the option that was left. There's no real deep thinking behind it."


#JustATampon: Why People Are Taking Selfies With Tampons

#JumpATampon tampon selfiesForget the duck face...the latest trend for selfies is taking pics with tampons! Yes, you read that correctly.

The hashtag #JustATampon is a social media movement aiming to end the stigma around that time of month. It was started by VPoint and British charity Plan UK to try to make having your period and talking about it less taboo as well as raise funds for women in underprivileged countries without access to feminine hygiene products.

"Around the world, millions of girls face discrimination just for being girls," the campaign explains. "One way this manifests itself is through poor access to quality menstrual health and hygiene. It not only poses health issues, but means girls can miss school when they have their period and face bullying. Only 12% of girls and women have access to sanitary products around the world. And in Africa, one in ten girls miss school when they have their period."

Girls aren't the only taking tampons selfies to support the cause. Check out these awesome men who are getting involved! Are you planning to take a #JustATampon selfie?

Hell-o Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne!

We have no idea why this photo was taken, we're 99% sure that it was for some kind of a photoshoot (Beats maybe?) or it could have just been an attempt to break the internet. Because two supermodels, naked, licking each other does have a certain appeal.

Cara shared the pic on her Instagram page with the caption #CaKe, which combines the first two letters of both of their names and makes kind of a cool little friendship moniker.

We're not gonna lie, we love that they've made "CaKe" an official thing because it gives us something to search for when we're looking for awesome things like this:

CaKe! 😜 @caradelevingne

Did Taylor Swift Just Donate $15,000 to a Firefighter Who Had to Rescue His Own Family?

Taylor Swift The 1989 World Tour Live In PittsburghTaylor Swift, are you sure you aren't an undercover angel? Because we're pretty sure you deserve that title if just did what we think you did.

Tay reportedly made a whopping donation to a firefighter and his family after hearing about their horrific auto-accident story. A few days ago, Texas fireman Aaron VanRiper was hit with the biggest scare of his life while at work. He got called to an accident scene...involving his wife and young son.


When he arrived to the crash, he quickly realized that he recognized the crumpled car. His wife had been thrown from the vehicle during the collision. Their son, Jonathan, was still pinned inside. Each had multiple cuts and broken bones.

"It's my family. My wife was laying there on the ground," Aaron told ABC affiliate KTRK. "[By] the look of the car, I don't know how either one of them lived. There was nothing left of that car."

Aaron tried to keep calm, but nothing in his training prepared him to see his injured, trapped son.

"Once I saw my son, that kind of went out the window and I started going into a bit of a panic mode," he added.

Amber and Jonathan were airlifted to a local hospital. Amber underwent nine hours of surgery to repair her shattered pelvis. Their son suffered a broken leg and elbow.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of this family's horrific ordeal. They don't have health insurance, so a friend set up a GoFundMe account to raise $125,000 to cover their medical bills. Local and national news picked up the story, and the donations starting coming in.

All of that seemed great, but imagine everyone's surprise when, early Thursday morning, a particularly whopping donation arrived: $15,000 under the name "Taylor Swift."

It's unclear if our girl actually gave the family the money, but we wouldn't be surprised. She's known to do stuff like that! From birthday money to donating to New York City pubic schools, Taylor is very generous...and obviously caring. There needs to be more celebs...or just people like her in general...ASAP.

"Uhhh not sure if you saw this Aaron...," wrote one family member on Facebook under a photo of the $15,000 donation. "Truly amazing."

Jennette McCurdy Says That Ariana Grande Feud Was 'Blown Out of Proportion'

jennette mccurdy ariana grande feud beef videoJennette Mccurdy has addressed that rumored feud between her and Ariana Grande in the past - and, it turns out it wasn't that big of a deal. She explained recently to HuffPost Live that the beef between her and Ari was "blown out of proportion."

Jennette noted that "growing up in the kids television space is such a unique experience," calling it "bizarre" and explaining that since "it's a really unique dimension of entertainment," it's best to band together with the people you're in it with.

Her feud with Ariana is behind them, but she explained, "I think people kind of look for drama and look for a story and perpetuate that story because it's easier to make a headline out of something negative than something positive sometimes."

Jennette added, "Drama fuels the world, I think, in a lot of ways...so, yeah, I think it was definitely blown out of proportion."

Jennette also shared that she thinks kids should look up to real people as role models, explaining, "I certainly appreciate people who look up to me and everything, but I'm 22. I make mistakes all the time." She talked about Miley Cyrus as well, saying, "I applaud Miley in a lot of ways."

Jennette explained, "I don't know her personally - I've met her at a few events, and she's always very kind. She seems like she's really happy with what she's doing, and I think that's amazing."

Sporty woman doing reverse crunches in outdoor park.I have always been athletic and participating in some sport as a youth. In my 20s, I found myself working out in the gym. I started working out because, at the time, I was working in manufacturing and one of the suggestions made to keep your body from "breaking down'" (from the repetitious laborious work) was building and strengthening your muscles. And OH BOI, did I! I also hate being thin and thought that the muscle I would gain from working out would make me look thicker.


Thick, well, I have never been able to achieve that look. But, now that I am a more seasoned woman, I am more interested in remaining toned and fit. So, since I am a busy mom, peace advocate and volunteer in my community, I really have no time to hit the gym. Honestly, I can not even afford a membership (one that I really prefer) or a personal trainer but if I could, I might just have one as long as he looks like The Rock (teehee)!


Because I am an avid fitness junkie, and I absolutely, undeniably, dislike repetitious workouts, I had a lightbulb moment a few weeks ago! I was browsing through my Pinterest "Work that Body" board and witnessed all these incredible seven-, 14- and 30-day workout regimes. I was in fitness heaven! Because I am a big DIY kind of person, I thought to myself (there goes that lightbulb moment!), why don't I just save some of these workouts to my camera roll and develop a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly workout regime? Ta dah!!! Yes, DIY made simple!


For the whole year of 2013 until March of 2014, I was a Crossfit junkie! I absolutely loved it. It was challenging, and the routines were never ever the same. And...my body! I loved the physical results of Crossfit training. But after re-injuring myself a few times and a trip out of town, I never saw the "box" (aka Crossfit speak for "gym) again. For a whole year, I did not workout. However, this April I started back, and I am going to go hard until my birthday in August.


I have planned my first 30 days! A total body workout plan for 30 whole days. My workout routine will consist of some of the following exercises (1 minute each):


  • Mountain Climbers
  • Jumping Jacks
  • Walk-out Pushups
  • Plank Jacks
  • Bicycle Crunches
  • Burpees
  • Superman
  • Left-Side Hip Raises
  • Right-Side Hip Raises
  • Wall Sit
  • Squats
  • Russian Twist
  • Boat Pose Hold
  • Triceps Dips
  • Left-Side Lunge
  • Right-Side Lunge
  • 12-Mile Bike Rides
  • Jumping Rope
  • Pushups

That is just some of what I will put my body through. The cool part is that I can increase the time from 1 to 2 minutes and really mix up the routines! I have already lost considerable weight riding my bike. I ride between 15-20 miles a week. Since starting my workout regime March 29, I've rode 157.9 miles and burned a total of 6,834 calories per MapMyWalk, which is a great app to record and chart your progress. I am excited to see the transformation!


If you are looking for a buddy or challenge, sign up for MapMyWalk, look me up, and we can support one another!


"Nothing Will Work Unless You Do"

I Support the Troops and Caitlyn Jenner

The front pages of the New York Daily News , Metro and NY Post on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 feature the cover of Vanity Fair which iI am all for supporting the American military. Kudos and thank you for fighting for the states. I am simply getting frustrated beyond the horizon with all these people who think that if I don't support the military, I am a bigot or something! We are not allowed to have heroes like Caitlyn Jenner or anyone like her, because supposedly, the only people who are heroes are those who don a uniform.

All these pictures are showing up on my Facebook newsfeed saying that Caitlyn isn't a hero and what not. Granted I won't be watching her new show, but she is still a hero to a lot of people in the community. Just because one doesn't "approve" of her, doesn't mean that anyone has the right to take away what she's achieved for the LGBTQ community.

I see this kind of thing on a regular basis:
Caitlyn Jenner heroI've met plenty of recruits and officers in my day. I lived next to a military base in San Diego, and I currently live four hours away from one as well. I had to deal - my whole school year - with these jerks who think that because they enlisted early, they should be treated as gods. No! I've seen some of the heinous things that U.S. soldiers have done, and I don't think I'll be idolizing that any time soon.

I am tired of being told that because I don't stop to say the (somewhat cultish) Pledge of Allegiance every day and because I don't thank every soldier I see that I need to start being humble and gracious for my "freedom." Not everything is about America. We've got our bumps and bruises (pretty bad ones), so I don't think we should be showing this elitism that we do.

Just because you are an American doesn't mean you're at the top of the food chain. We used to have the most booming economy. We used to be the safe haven for all immigrants. But how can we continue to be that way when we have 1 out of 3 or so people saying that we shouldn't allow people in our borders, or that we shouldn't tax the 1 percent so much? It's hypocrisy, honestly.

Don't inflict your heroes, beliefs or opinions on other people, please. Everyone is entitled to have their own and express it ... to a point. Just because it's not your perspective or opinion, doesn't mean that it's wrong. I love a good debate over politics and what not, but when it comes to people who are so close minded about everything else except their own opinion, there won't be much to debate.

Let's just all be nice and realize that some people love America, and some people can't wait to move to France. It's not for everyone, but just because it isn't, doesn't mean they're apart of ISIS or the Taliban. (I saw this on my newsfeed and almost puked when someone said it.)

One day I wish where I can live in a country that isn't ALWAYS at war. #EndRant

perrie edwards zayn malik wedding married perrie malikOMG, Perrie Edwards is in a new video to Instagram, where she calls herself Perrie Malik - and the fans just collectively melted. Don't do that to us, Perrie!

While we're eagerly awaiting what we imagine will be the wedding of the century, Perrie and Zayn Malik did not go and secretly get married. We can definitely see how everyone could jump to that conclusion, but what we don't understand is the hate flying around. If they're engaged, they intend to get married at some point...so one day she will be Perrie Malik.

In the video posted to Little Mix's Instagram with the caption "littlemixofficial Road Trip Bantz #BlackMagicRadioTour," the ladies each have a go at pinning their boyfriends' last names to their own names...well, except for Jade. It's pretty funny.

Breathe, y'all. They're just having fun.

Zendaya no makeupLater, hater! Zendaya has no time for men who make fun of girls without makeup. When Twitter user Manstagram began hating on a New Zealand beauty blogger's fresh faced look, the Disney starlet stepped in and took him to task for dissing Shannon.

It all started when they Tweeted this meme of Shannon with and without makeup. Not only did the 18-year-old starlet share a gorgeous makeup free selfie rocking glasses in support, she also dropped some serious truth on the troll. Shannon Tweeted her thanks and gave Zendaya a sweet shoutout. Tell 'em, Z! Shannon, you look gorgeous both ways. Go on, girls!
