The creators of Orange is the New Black recently kicked off the show's third season by hosting #OrangeCon, a premiere party that brought out the cast members, a ton of other celebrities and fans of the Netflix series. Making her way amongst the glamorous crowd of Hollywood's elite was none other than Instagram queen and self-proclaimed hot mama Baddie Winkle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Miley CyrusEver since Caitlyn Jenner has introduced herself to the world, stars have come out of the woodwork to show their support and admiration for her bravery. But none have taken their Caitlyn obsession to the level of Miley Cyrus.

The twerking queen has posted several Instas online that prove Cait is her new muse. She busted out her best glitter, glue, beads, etc. to decorate Cait's infamous Vanity Fair issue. But that's not all...

#dirtyhippie @happyhippiefdn collab coming soon 💖 #callmecaitlyn #ilovecaitlyn @caitlynjenner @amfar

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

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

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

Caitlyn got a paint job 💖💋👅🌸

Caitlyn Jenner Reveals Her True Feelings About Her Marriage to Kris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kim Kardashian Is in No Mood for the Paparazzi Right Now

Kim Kardashian, track star!

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

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

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

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

You tell 'em, Keeks!

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

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


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


Time to get warmer!

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

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


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


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

'Pretty Little Liars' Star Sasha Pieterse Stands Up to Body Shamers

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

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

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

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

You never know who needed to hear it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Farrah Abraham and Boyfriend Simon Saran Split

2015 MTV Movie Awards - ArrivalsAll right, tbh we are really not happy right now because we liked Farrah Abraham and Simon Saran together. Unfortunately, when they were evaluating the future of their relationship, they didn't take our wishes into consideration and they went ahead and called it quits, anyway.

Since she started dating Simon, Farrah seemed happier than she had ever been and they really seemed to get along great, so this one definitely took us by surprise.

While we don't know exactly what went wrong between them, they did have the cards stacked against them given the fact that it was a long distance relationship and they both have busy careers.

Still, fans were just as shocked as we were when Farrah announced their breakup on Twitter, especially because the way she did it wasn't really an announcement, it was just sort of mentioned in passing in a post about ex boyfriends. Like 'you already know, though' except that we didn't...

"Happy #NationalExDay to the best ex haha remember this moment," she captioned the photo below.

The "best ex"? Sounds like, as far as breakups go, this one was pretty good, because she's clearly not mad at him. Simon also posted a cute pic of them kissing and captioned it, "One for the Ex! Cheers!#NationalExDay."

Maybe - just maybe - they won't be exes for long!



Lark Voorhies' New Husband Says He is a "Changed Man" Despite His Criminal Past

Los Angeles Haunted HayrideWe've barely had time to process the news of Saved By the Bell star Lark Voorhies' third marriage and there's already some troubling new reports that suggest the 41-year-old actress' Facebook boo Jimmy Green has a criminal past. But that's not the worst part of the news - apparently, a couple of unresolved cases have come back to haunt the music engineer just as the newlyweds get settled into their 6-week-old marriage.

According to People, Lark's husband has a 2012 arrest warrant stemming from charges of disorderly conduct and threatening to intimidate. The website also included court documents that show the cases were filed in Tucson, Ariz. Furthermore, TMZ provided details from a police report in which Jimmy is said to have "threatened to kill a store owner" who wouldn't allow him to return a cell phone. The gossip site reports that the warrants were issued when Jimmy failed to show up in court.

When asked about the charges, a representative for the actress told E! News, "We are obviously concerned about the allegations and are looking into these matters." Meanwhile Jimmy downplayed the allegations, telling E!, "I'm not running from anyone," while adding that the misdemeanor charge is being grossly exaggerated. He continued, "Whatever happened, it is in my past. I am a changed man."

Lark and Jimmy wed in a secret Vegas ceremony back in April, and announced plans for a big wedding next year. Here's to hoping that legal troubles don't have any further impact on the couple's wedded bliss.


'Orange is the New Black' Cast Members Already Know What They Want For Their Last Meals

Judging by the not-so-delectable meals that are served in the cafeteria of Orange is the New Black's Litchfield Correctional Facility, the person who has no choice but to chow down on the prime prison cuisine should definitely consider themselves unlucky. While the mere thought of bunking with the likes of Piper Chapman, Crazy Eyes, Taystee, Pennsatucky and Big Boo should scare the appetite out of any sane person, the OITNB cast members who attended the season three premiere party on Friday night had food on their minds. Instead of drooling over platters of fancy hors d'oeuvres, the ladies found their mouths watering as they each revealed to E! News what their last meal requests would be if they were actually prisoners.

Surprisingly, no one plans to place an order for any elaborate gourmet meals. For example, Danielle Brooks said her taste buds would be longing for some down home Southern cooking like fried chicken and mac' n cheese. But she completely won us over when she threw in the request for some chocolate cheesecake on the side. (Wait - did our appetite just return?) Taylor Schilling said she'd most likely be jonesing for a cheeseburger, before realizing that she'd eaten one earlier. But that's OK, Taylor. Remember this is your last meal, so load the hump accordingly. Meanwhile, someone should go ahead and order Uzo Aduba pizza and serve it with a scoop of Danielle's mac 'n cheese.

Whew! With all this talk of food, we'd might be persuaded to raid the Litchfield kitchen for a snack. On second thought, maybe not.

How Misty Copeland Deals With Body Shaming Haters Will Empower You

Have you seen superstar ballerina Misty Copeland's body? It is beyond sick. Still, even she has had to deal with quite a few body shamers.

Back in February 2012, the 32-year-old dancer told Teen Vogue that after she was promoted to American Ballet Theatre's corps de ballet at 19, she had her first period, gained 10 pounds, and her "breasts became full and voluptuous." Soon, the wardrobe department had to let out a seam here and there so her chest could fit in costumes. "I was bewildered and embarrassed-I could feel my confidence start to slip away," she said.

At five feet two and just over one hundred pounds, Misty was told she needed to "lengthen," - a more "polite" way to say lose some weight and fast. But, she soon she realized she could make her talent outshine what anyone had to say about her body. "My backup plan was to out dance everyone, to be so technically perfect and unbelievably lyrical in my movements that all anyone would be able to see was my talent, not my breasts or curves or the color of my skin," she continued. And it worked. ABT's artistic staff eventually stopped asking her to slim down.
Misty still deals with body shaming from time to time, but, she takes it on with a positive attitude. She recently opened up about how she deals with body shamers today, telling Heart and Soul in enlightening interview "Aint I a Dancer?," "Whenever they say [my] race does not have the right body type, it just sounds so crazy and ignorant."

"Every race has varying body types, but I think it's possible to take a body- and I've seen this happen-a body that people say is not built for ballet, and shape it by taking ballet classes," she continued. "That's what it's there for-to shape and mold your muscles! That's what I've done. I've done my best to fit into what my body is capable of, and what makes sense for my body to fit into the ballet world."

Misty's attitude about her body and how others should view theirs is applause-worthy. She not only inspires us with the way she empowers women, but, also with her own accomplishments. The ballet prodigy, who landed on Time's list of 100 influential people, will make history when she becomes the first ballerina to star as Odette and Odile in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake with the ABT in the U.S. June 16.

She is killing it in the dance industry (and beyond) on her own terms. And we love it.

Farrah Abraham Is Selling Her DNA - For a Good Cause

Farrah Abraham Celebrates 24th Birthday At The Palms Casino In Las VegasWhen we first heard Farrah Abraham was selling her DNA, we were a little confused. Was this another business venture for the unorthodox entrepreneur, or is there more to the story? Turns out, it's a little bit of both, but the other side of the story is actually super cool.

The reality star has partnered with Celebrity Gene and is selling her DNA in the form of a $99 necklace. Kind of an Angelina Jolie/Billy Bob Thornton vial vibe, but this isn't blood, it's just straight DNA, which is usually extracted from the celebrity's hair, according to TMZ. Farrah is reportedly getting 10% of the profits and got $30,000 upfront for the DNA sample.

So, that's the business side of it. But, on the awesomesauce side of things, 50% of the profits are going to Operation Underground Railroad, which helps rescue kidnapped children from slavery.

"I hope my legacy can change the world for younger generations and save them from sex trafficking for a brighter future," Farrah explained on the Celebrity Gene website. "I'm proud to be an abolitionist, working with Celebrity Gene on this DNA project I hope will help raise funds to change the world for the better!"

Farrah is not the first celeb to have her stuff for sale on the site. They also advertise Al Capone ($399) and Geronimo's DNA ($299).

Lil' Wayne performs during a concert.Did Jay Z just swoop in and rescue Lil Wayne from the corporate clutches of Cash Money? While on stage at Bay Area hip-hop radio station 106 KMEL's Summer Jam event on Saturday, the "6 Foot 7 Foot" rapper startled the crowd by announcing that he just signed a deal with his "idol" Jay Z. This comes almost two weeks after Weezy became a co-owner of Jay Z's TIDAL streaming service and released his new song "Glory" on the website.

If this means that Lil Wayne is officially a Roc Nation artist, he's in good company. Roc Nation is home to major artists like Rihanna, Rita Ora, Big Sean, Calvin Harris and more. Seriously guys - if these two musical titans have indeed teamed up, this could be a hip hop monopoly in the making.

It certainly isn't that difficult to believe considering Wayne's public fallout with Cash Money Records. In December, the rapper called out Cash Money CEO Birdman on Twitter, blaming his friend-turned-foe for pumping the brakes on the release of his oft-delayed album Tha Carter V. The beef even led to Wayne filing a $51 million lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money in order to be released from the label, which has yet to be resolved.

Details on Wayne's reported move to Roc Nation are scarce at the moment, but we have to wonder where this purported deal leaves Nicki Minaj and Drake, who are signed to Wayne's Young Money Entertainment. Nicki is already a part of the TIDAL team, but Drake recently chose to sign with Apple instead.

Well, this is extremely complicated. Hopefully Jay Z's Roc Nation doesn't drive a wedge between the Young Money crew.

UPDATE: Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant told TMZ there's no Roc Nation deal and that Wayne was simply referring to his TIDAL partnership. We know, Drake - that was a close call.

No one can accuse Arianna Alexander of having senioritis. She spent her final year as a student at Chicago's Kenwood Academy High School racking up a ton of bills - dollar bills, that is. The valedictorian's 5.1 GPA (out of possible 4.0!) helped her land a one-way ticket to success. She was accepted to 26 colleges - including six Ivy League universities - and offered a total of more than $3 million in scholarships.

If you're completely mind-boggled over the amount of money Ariana earned for her college education, you're not the only in shock.

"It was a lot to take in," Arianna told ABC's Chicago station WLS. "I received emails, letters. It was just like, 'Come here, come here!' They were bombarding me with all this information."

Luckily, Arianna had a major motivator in her father who encouraged her to break the record of a student who previously earned $1 million in scholarships.

"I planted the seed in Arianna's mind that you could do the same thing," he said.

So, now for the $3 million-question: Where does Arianna plan to attend school? Clearly, any college would be lucky to have her, but since she has her sights set on becoming a successful restaurateur, Arianna chose to go with The Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania.

Arianna's proven her ability to whip up a ferocious recipe for success, so we're sure whatever she's cooking up for her future chain of restaurants will have us dying for a taste.
