As far as summer break goes, few things are better than curling up on the couch to binge watch a movie or show on Netflix. Once you've finished off Orange is the New Black and somehow made it through all 10 seasons of Friends, finding a new addiction can be a struggle - what's a girl to do? Luckily, we have some (very chic!) ideas - try one of these fashion girl classics!

Life Problems? There's a GIF for That
Being a human is hard. It's confusing, exhausting and 9 times out of 10, you are getting something horribly wrong. Believe me, I know. One time, I tried to open a pickle jar after working out. Epic hand cramp. (Learn from my mistakes, Internet.)
To cope, here are some GIFs to get you through life's great dilemmas.
1. You realize there are still 17 minutes on the timer before you can get off the elliptical and have a tiny yogurt.
You cannot survive the Hunger Games without a little stamina. Keep running, baby.
2. Sometimes, the only things that get you through the day are new recordings on your DVR and takeout from your favorite restaurant. But you're all caught up, and Bill's Chinese is closed for health code violations. Panic is a real emotion you now face.
First, you're like this:
Don't be sad Tobias crying in the shower. Be happy Sheldon instead.
Netflix has a plethora of shows you probably haven't watched, and ice cream is a viable dinner option in a pinch. Go forth and binge in all the ways.
3. You make the mistake of reading anything from major news outlets or watching the weather or getting on social media after everyone else has read anything from major news outlets/watched the weather, and you lose faith in humanity. You lose faith in yourself.
Take a hint from Catherine Tate and let that sh*t roll right off your shoulders.
4. You have a setback in your work/family/online gambling ring, and you feel the cold grip of failure winding her fingers around your neck.
At least you're not a member of the (largely terrorized) Stark family.
Or a (likely dead) bastard.
Or an (minus your good bits) Unsullied.
Perk up, friends. You could have been born in Westeros and have George R.R. Martin as your god.
5. You feel grumpy, dopey, sleepy (you are one of Snow White's Seven Dwarves) because today you must accomplish #allthethings and make sure to tweet it all so people know you're very busy and important.
Take a breath.
Realize no one cares.
And you don't need them to. You just gotta do you. One step at a time.
And if that doesn't work, take a page from Cersei Lannister's play book.
Because...
Cheers!

Nicki Minaj Looks Just Like Her Mom
This family has some good genes.Nicki Minaj had a particularly cute moment onstage at the BET Awards last night, when she took home the award for best female hip-hop artist, beating out Iggy Azalea, Tink, Azaelia Banks, Dej Loaf and Trina.
The "Only" rapper brought her mom Carol Maraj with her when she walked up to accept the award, and we couldn't help but notice she looks just like her...even down to their facial expressions. "I always talk about my mommy and this is the first time the world is going to see her," Nicki said. "I love you so much."
Nicki not only gushed over her mom, but, also gave a shout out to Meek Mill, calling him "my baby" while she accepted the award. That was just the first of the couple's PDA, though. The hip hop star went on to perform "All Eyes on You" with Meek onstage, with the duo holding hands and giving us all types of feels.And yes, she was wearing the huge yellow diamond ring that he gave her. Total relationship goals (sorry, Ray J).

6 Harsh Truths About High School
When you are in middle school, you always wish you were a senior. Well, let me tell you, once you are in high school you cannot wear your dad's old sweatshirts. (Apparently, it makes you seem very uncool.) I still don't understand what the word "uncool" is. Why is it uncool to wear your reading glasses or wear a pair of sneakers instead of heels or flats? Why is uncool to wear jeans instead of shorts in summer?High school is a place where kids who used to believe in unicorns and rainbows turn into judgmental adults - not exactly adults but they pretend to be one. High school is a place where you start thinking of what others think about you.
High school is mostly all about appearance and power. There are always the populars, the nerds, the geeks,the in-betweeners, etc., but remember that there is always one you. Nobody can be you other than you you. High school might be cliché, but you are not, so don't loose yourself in the process of impressing others. Live to express not to impress. If your high school is not cliché like I said, then thank God. I mean it. Thank Him. Because you are very lucky. Most of us, including me, had to go through stereotypical high school world.
I wish someone had told me that...
- High school sucks most of the time, but it surely had its moments (like when your teacher fell asleep during a test or when you skipped gym and didn't get caught).
- Calculus is more difficult than climbing Mount Everest.
- Most of the boys only like beautiful girls.
- High school is nothing as depicted in the movies like Mean Girls, High School Musical or A Cinderella Story (yes, the movie starring Chad Michael Murray; gosh, I love him so much). Ahem, sorry. I got carried away.
- High school has its ups and downs but so does life.
- You've got keep moving on.

Rihanna Adopted a Puppy While Turning Up in the Club
Here's one more reason why we love Rihanna.Just about anything can happen when you're turning up in the club, but, after the BET Awards last night, the "Bitch Better Have My Money" singer took things to a whole other level.
Rihanna somehow found a puppy there, and decided to bring it home. "She literally just went to the club, came back with a cage, wee-wee pads, food and a f**king dog!," her friend could be heard saying in a video posted on Twitter. Like how do you even find a puppy in a club? Rihanna needs her own show.

Do This If You're in a Relationship Rut
It happened on a Tuesday night. I realized that maybe we were losing the spark. We'd been dating for seven months, and it just had become a habit to meet up in the evening after class and fill our stomachs with anything that fit our student budget. It had all became so wonted, so known, so expected.I thought it would be fun to break the normal routine and do something that we could cherish for at least for a week thereafter. There is no harm in making the boyfriend also feel lucky SOMETIMES. I got up at 1 a.m. and called his roommate. I had a plan. I told him to get out of the room only after Sumit left, so that he can drop the keys under the doormat and that I would collect them and continue with my plan.
Sumit let for college at 8 a.m., I called up Joey, his classmate, and told him to take Sumit out to grab a beer or something, so that he leaves from college only after 2 p.m. At 1:30 p.m., I rang up Sumit and asked him to meet me at the coffee house near his flat. He was surprised to see me dressed in his favorite white dress. (When I wore for the first time, he said, "Don't buy a new wedding gown for our marriage, this would be perfect.") He did not fail to notice the necklace he gave me on our last one-month anniversary.
I could see it from his facial expressions, initially he was happy to get the special treatment but suddenly, I could see him anxiously calculating the calendar dates, thinking that maybe he had missed something important - my birthday, a special day, our anniversary or the day we met. But he sighed in relief when I told him, "Don't worry; we are good. You didn't forget anything."
We moved out to his car after having our favorite mocha coffee. I plugged in my pen drive, which had his favorite songs that I had downloaded overnight. This time, he was stunned. I dislike these songs so much that I never let him play them in the car with me. We then drove to his flat.
Now going back to 11 a.m., when Sumit was in his college and I was at his flat: I had to do some changes in his room, for good - though I was able to carry out my plan only after cleaning his room for an hour to make way for my surprise. I stretched out three strings of red colored ropes from one end of the right wall to the other and fastened it through bolts. Then, I took out the 20 best pictures from a collection of about 3,000 that we had clicked in the last seven months. We are self-obsessed, you see? I attached them to the top rope with clothespins. His wall now had a slideshow of the best memories we had ever created.
The second rope was used to hang his favorite snack. It had packets of Blue Lay's (chips), Dairy Milk Silk (chocolate) and jelly boxes. The third rope also had snacks; he is a big time foodie. What else but food can make him happy?
We entered the room, and he was happy to see what change I had brought to his room. His happiness was reflected in the 10-minute long kiss he applauded me with. My success in making him feel special made me feel special as well. But my surprise wasn't over yet. I then made him wait on the balcony for the next 15 minutes while I prepared instant noodles and cold coffee for him. His kitchen was also a mess! It was a difficult day, OK?
I switched off the lights, put on some music (this time, of my choice) and lit the whole room with candles. We enjoyed the candle-light lunch more than any other extravagant restaurant we had ever been to. We clicked some pictures. One of them can go on that wall of best memories. We will surely remember this day.

Oops! Lady Gaga Mistook a Chicago Mariachi Festival For a Pride Parade
When the pride parade was going on in Chicago, Lady Gaga had the best seat in the house - or so she thought. The pop star shared a photo of herself on her balcony overlooking a parade with the caption, "Watching over Chicago Pride from my apartment and smiling so big. So many happy people. Happy pride! #lovewins."
She also shared a second, almost identical photo, with another touching caption, writing, "This is just about the coolest things I ever saw. It feels good to know how many of my friends and loved ones are out celebrating and feeling valued.#lovewins."
Awesome, right? Totally...except for the fact that the pride parade was a few miles away. What she was REALLY watching was the Chicago Mariachi and Folklórico Festival.
You know what, though? We're not mad at her. Gaga has been a very outspoken advocate for gay rights for years, so it's not like she was bandwagoning. She just got her festivals mixed up, that's all. She was still celebrating Pride, and the comments she made are still just as beautiful and important.
As for the mariachi festival-goers, they heard about the little snafu and made this little mock-up for Mother Monster so that she could celebrate with them, too.
Well played, Mariachi Heritage Foundation, well played!

Sorry, Not Sorry! Katy Perry Is a Boss and She's Proud of It
Katy Perry is on the cover of the new Forbes magazine, which highlights the Top 100 Highest Paid Celebrities. The superstar landed third on the list AND she's the top female earner, being beat only by Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao who made crazy amounts of money for their May 2 fight. In the cover story, Katy says she's extremely proud of her success and shows us a little bit of the kicka** spirit that helped her get to where she is. "I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company," she told them. "I'm an entrepreneur... I don't want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls." Yassss, girl!
She also says that while 'Katy Perry' has a fun and silly presence on the stage, Katheryn Hudson (her real name) means business. "I like to dress up and be Katy Perry when it's appropriate, when I'm promoting something," she explains, leading me into a conference room alone and hopping onto a semi-circular white couch. "But I'm Katheryn Hudson on the business side."
Well, between the both of them, they're killing it in the music biz right now. The "Roar" singer's hugely successful Prismatic World Tour helped her bring in $135 million (before taxes) last year. Other celebs on the list include No. 4: One Direction ($130 million), No. 5: Howard Stern ($95 million) and No. 9: Taylor Swift ($80 million) and No. 33: Kim Kardashian ($52 million).

'Teen Beach 2' Star Jordan Fisher Wants to Collab With Who?
Last week we sat down with 21-year-old Jordan Fisher to chat about Teen Beach 2, his upcoming debut record and what #BUILTBYGIRLS means to him. The rising star, who admitted he hasn't gotten a blink of sleep in about 3 weeks, gave us some insight on how he followed his dreams from Birmingham, Alabama all the way to Hollywood.
C: How is Teen Beach 2 different than the first installment?
JF: "It's skewed a little bit older this time around. You take something like Teen Beach and you try to figure out how to make it a little bit bigger and a little bit better, which is obviously always doable with choreography and music and everything as production value grows, but you have to look at the story as well and see how you can keep it moving without it feeling stagnant. There's a really powerful message in this film, it's about self-empowerment and really taking control of your destiny. And that's what Leila does in this [film]."
C: I'm sure you can relate to that...
JF: "I wouldn't be sitting in this room right now if I didn't decide one day to leave Birmingham, Alabama, and move to LA and hope that, you know, things worked out. Secret Life of the American Teenager was the show that brought me to LA to stay, which has led to all of these other things. But making that initial decision to jump and take the bull by the horns and really do what I love is something that a lot of people find scary... But that's when people are the happiest, when they're doing something that they love rather than something that they're good at."
C: You guest starred on Secret Life. What was it like working with Shailene Woodley before she became a household name?
JF: "Shailene is such a hippie. I haven't been in touch with her in a while, she's kinda busy being a superstar. I feel like it's rare when a project ends and people really see each other on a regular basis. Teen Beach is probably the first project that I've worked on where that is actually the case. I genuinely see everybody on a pretty consistent basis. Ross (Lynch) and I until recently worked on the same lot, Liv and Maddie films on stage 10 and he films on stage 11. We shared a building that all of our dressing rooms were in so I saw him every day for a long time which was really nice. But he's leaving to do a world tour and to become a huge rockstar, so hopefully he'll still have time for me..."
C: Speaking of music, we heard you just signed with Hollywood Records! What can you tell us about the kind of music you'll be making?
JF: "Pop soul. I grew up listening to all the greats in the '80s: Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Prince, Michael Jackson and all those guys. There's such a heavy element of pop and such a heavy element of soul for men in the '80s, but that wasn't really a genre that existed until a few years ago with Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars - those are the guys that revolutionized that lane and made it what it is now, but no one's really played with the '80s, which is really when soul found a way to kind of leave the R&B world and cross over into pop. So that's the record that I'm making now. Kind of what pop soul of the '80s would sound like in 2015."![Jordan Fisher Built By Girls]()
C: If you could collaborate with any Disney star right now, who would it be?
JF: "Sabrina Carpenter is a dear friend of mine. We actually worked together for the "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" video, which was on my bucket list. I grew up watching Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven and Even Stevens, and when they all came together and sang "The Circle of Life" and "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," I was like THAT! So getting a call to do that was a cool day for me. We worked together on that and we actually did a little Christmas video on YouTube, but I would collaborate with Sabrina any day. She has so much soul, she is so beyond her years as an actor, as an artist and as a person. That's something I really connect with."
C: Lastly, how would you say the #BUILTBYGIRLS initiative resonates with you?
JF: "I'm a firm believer in humans are humans. I think that if you have a pulse, you are capable of building anything that you want to. I think that girls are years beyond guys, to be perfectly honest with you. I obviously adore my girlfriend and am super close with my mom and sisters, but I genuinely think that. I thought for a long time that I was going to be a doctor until things started working out for me in the film, music and television world, but I think everyone has their own journey and coming together as equals is what keeps the world turning."

Kim Kardashian Thought Her Career Was Over After Kris Humphries Split
When someone gets married, they think, and hope that they've found their life partner. When Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries, she tied the knot on TV and made her "'til death do us part" vows in front of the entire world. Unfortunately, Kim and Kris didn't work out and the couple became the butt of many jokes when they separated after only 72 days of marriage. Obviously, they've both moved on since then, but as we saw on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it was an extremely tough time for Kim and in a new interview with The Drum, she admits that she thought her career ended right along with her marriage.
"At the time when I was going through the divorce I did say to everyone, 'You guys, I think our careers are over. I hope you've saved your money... And now we'll just continue to do our clothing stores and we started off doing before the show,'" she explained, "I totally thought it was over....I was being very paranoid."
Not only did Kim get through it with her career intact, she's now more popular than ever. Looking back, her career hadn't even really fully launched when you look at where she is today. Still, she took that time for herself and made sure she dealt with it in the moment. "I just took some time off, and the time was really good for me," she recalls. "I canceled everything. I had a book tour, I had a fragrance launch, I had everything that you could possibly imagine, and I just...I canceled it all and I took time for me."
Now, Kim has not only found love again, she's one half of the #WorldsMostTalkedAboutCouple who are absolutely head over heels in love with each other and expecting their second child in December.
Looks like it all worked out in the end!

Carrie Underwood Voted Most Wanted Celebrity Babysitter
If you could pick one celeb to babysit your kid (or future kid) who would you choose? Miley Cyrus? Britney Spears? Taylor Swift?Nope. According to a new survey done by the Today Show, most parents would want country singer Carrie Underwood to watch their baby during a night out. Surprised? We aren't either.
The poll was answered by 800 millennial moms, who were asked about their parenting habits, but also which celebrity they'd be okay letting watch their kids while they go out for dinner and a movie. According to the results, 64 percent of moms said they would let a celebrity babysit, period, and of those, the majority chose Carrie.
We're thinkin' it's because she's a new mama, and has that oh-so-sweet persona. Carrie was totally honored with the nomination, too.
She posted a tweet in response saying, "Love this! I'm honored!"
Mama Underwood recently opened up about having to undergo a C-section delivery with her son Isaiah in February and what the recovery process was like. She also shared the emotions she was experiencing during the birth, particularly feeling guilty for having to have a surgical delivery rather than a traditional one. Read more about that, here.

Why I Refuse to Shave My Armpits
The female body is so delicate. Small bones. Soft skin. Fine hairs. Yes, even body hairs.
When you think about a woman having hair on her legs or - God forbid - her armpits, you probably get a little turned off or even disgusted. But, when I look at the soft hairs on my legs, and yes, even my armpits, I know I'm looking at delicacy. I'm looking at a soft little bird who hasn't yet learned to fly. And I'm looking at a woman who's finally finding her place.
I don't shave because I've finally found that I can be comfortable in this body I'm living in. I may have struggles with weight, and I may have scars that I've given myself, but now I know that my hair is my own choice.
I wasn't allowed to cut my hair when I was younger, so as soon as I turned 21, I chopped it to my shoulders. It was so liberating. Not shaving my legs, and yes, I'm still talking about under my arms, too, is just as liberating. I'm liberated and am delicate. I am that little bird learning how to fly.

You Go, Girls! Girl Scouts Just Turned Down a Major Donation for an Important Reason
The Girl Scouts of America relies on donations to keep their organization afloat - so why did the Girl Scouts of Western Washington just turn down $100,000? It may seem like a large donation to decline, but there's one very important reason why this chapter of the Girl Scouts said "no, thanks" to this gift. This gift came with one catch that the organization just couldn't get behind, and declining the offer shows just how committed they are to making sure every girl gets a chance to be a scout.
Girl Scouts ruled that it would be allowing transgender girls into its organization in May of 2015, but apparently not everyone was thrilled with their inclusiveness. The donor who gave the Girl Scouts of Western Washington $100,000 stipulated that it could not be used for these transgender girls - so the organization decided to say bye bye to this so-called act of "generosity." According to council CEO Megan Ferland, "Girl Scouts is for every girl," and taking the money would be ignoring a population that deserves to be scouts if they want to.
Frankly I think it's pretty awful for a donor to try to decide who deserves funding and who does not. The donor clearly knew that Girl Scouts had recently included transgender girls into the organization, and decided to use the allure of a large donation in order to spread bigoted ideas about what kind of person deserves support. Luckily, the Girl Scouts can't be bought. The money may have been able to help many girls, but what's the point if some girls are left out of the donation entirely?
The Girl Scouts of Western Washington won't be looking to this donor in the future, but they are hoping to make up the financial loss with an Indiegogo campaign. The donated money will help girls who qualify for the federal free-and-reduced-price meal program at their schools and whose families request help to cover the costs of participating in Girl Scout receive the help they need.
Girl Scouts is for every girl, and hopefully people who understand this will step up and donate from a real place of giving.

Jennifer Lawrence Rocks Marker Mustache and Unibrow in NYC
Most celebrities don't like even being caught without makeup by paparazzi, but Jennifer Lawrence put on quite the show for them during a night out in NYC. The 24-year-old actually drew all over her famous face, giving herself a unibrow, goatee and mustache with a marker. Why? Because J. Law, that's why!
The handdrawn disguise comes just after the Oscar winning starlet stepped out sporting chopsticks in her mouth like a walrus after she had a sushi dinner at Nobu Tribeca. LOL! She definitely seems to be enjoying her time in the city, where she's reportedly apartment hunting.

The handdrawn disguise comes just after the Oscar winning starlet stepped out sporting chopsticks in her mouth like a walrus after she had a sushi dinner at Nobu Tribeca. LOL! She definitely seems to be enjoying her time in the city, where she's reportedly apartment hunting.

Uh, TMI, Madonna? Madonna is Rocking a Tee Shirt With the Strangest Message Ever
No one would ever say that Madonna holds back, especially when it comes to fashion. Madonna pioneered fingerless fishnet gloves and massively crimped hair - demure style just isn't her thing. But today, Madonna isn't making headlines for any of her "Material Girl"-esque style. Instead, Madonna is making headlines for... wearing a tee shirt? Yep, it's true - but it's not exactly the cut of the shirt that's so baffling. Madonna's tee has a message for fans, and it'll make you go "huh?!"
Madonna took to Instagram on Monday to show off her latest tee shirt, and it has fans everywhere scratching their heads. That's because the message on the black tee shirt is this: "Good dick will imprison you." Check out Madonna wearing the tee shirt below:
While Madonna may be endorsing this message, it wasn't one she created. According to Complex's interview with fashion designer Leah McSweeney, it's Leah who designed the shirt, and it might give some insight into why Madonna is wearing it. According to Leah, who runs the label Married To The Mob, the shirt references how you can stay in a bad relationship simply because you are enjoying the physical aspects of that connection, even if it means you ignore the nice guys who might be better for you. Since Madonna is all about empowerment and sexual liberation, it makes sense why she might warn women not to fall into this trap.
Of course, it's also Madonna - she may just like the shirt due to its shock value. If that's the case, you officially achieved your goal, Madge. You do you.

11-Year-Old Slams Cheating Boyfriend With Best Text Message Comeback Ever
This girl just shut down her (now ex) boyfriend with the best text message slam of all time. Boy, ya got burned!
The best part? She's 11-years-old and already slaying like a queen. Her older sister shared the text exchange because, honestly, it's too good not to be passed around.
Madi Nickens posted the text messages on Twitter, writing: "HAHAHAHAH oh my god my sisters 'official break up' with her bf"
First, she calls him out for hanging out with another girl. He apologizes but she's already over his crap.
He obviously tries to get in a little sweet talk on the way out, when she floats this epic response his way.
High fives, fist bumps all around. Girl slayed (okay, she had a little help from Disney Channel's K.C. Undercover - check out the scene with Zendaya below).
HAHAHAHAH oh my god 😂😂😭 my sisters "official break up" with her bf pic.twitter.com/IGyglQQA6m

LOL! Jimmy Kimmel Asks Kids to Explain Same-Sex Marriage
Same-sex marriage just became legal in all 50 states on Friday last week, so naturally, Jimmy Kimmel wanted to get the opinions of some very important people on the groundbreaking decision: random kids. The Jimmy Kimmel Live host sent his crew out on the Hollywood streets to see what youngsters had to say about the hot topic, and their replies are both hilarious and heartwarming.
Most of them did indeed know what gay marriage was, but some of them had their own amazing answers as to why and when people should tie the knot. "In the afternoon," one boy replied. We haven't been to any morning weddings ourselves, so he does have a point.
Another wise young boy said anyone should be able to marry, but he's not personally interested in getting hitched because of money. "Because when you get married, the other person is entitled to any money the other person has," he says. Now his parents will have to explain what a prenup is to him next!

Selena Gomez Will Be Taylor Swift's Los Angeles Concert Surprise?
We all know to expect big things at Taylor Swift's show. So imagine how freaking excited we got when we heard that there's talk her BFF Selena Gomez will be her upcoming concert surprise guest.According to Hollywoodlife.com, Selena wants to perform at one of Tay's upcoming 1989 shows in L.A. She's been so busy lately that she hasn't stopped by, so she figures those shows would be the perfect chance.
We think it's an amazing idea. We've seen basically EVERY famous, female friend of Tay's walk the stage at one of her recent shows. Sel's the only one who is missing out. We will DIE if they sing together, too. Can we have a "Good For You" duet? That would be pretty epic.
A Selena surprise would probably be the best one from Tay's tour so far. Although, she DID just surprise fans with a Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Serena Williams, Martha Hunt, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne appearance.
Just another reason to go see T-Swift in concert? We think so.
