Demi Lovato and Kathy Griffin Feud Heats Up After VMA Performance Diss

Demi Lovato Kathy Griffin feud Twitter VMAsIt sounds like there's still beef between Demi Lovato and Kathy Griffin - and we thought that was ancient history, tbh.

With the MTV Video Music Awards last night, however, it seems Kathy had something to say about Demi's "Cool for the Summer" performance. And Demi wasn't going to take the comment lying down either.

Kathy fired off a tweet accusing Demi of lip syncing her VMAs performance: "Demi's live singing was very obviously live if you know I'm saying. And then the rest of the track or tracks. #atleastshesang-ish."

Ouch.

Demi fired back: "Happy 2 see ur still stanning me @kathygriffin. Dont worry, my new album is out Oct 16. But u prob already knew that."

Kathy joked back: "I was STANDING next 2u when I received my #dosomething award."

You may recall last year that, during a Twitter chat, Kathy called Demi the "biggest douche celebrity" she's ever met, which set off a firestorm of hate from Demi fans. Btdubs, Kathy was slamming everyone at the VMAs, including this dig at Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj...so no one was spared, really: demi lovato vmas gif

2015 MTV VMAs RoundUp: Jojo Is Back, Rebecca Black Talks New Music and More!

The MTV Video Music Awards carpet was insane!

It was probably one of the coolest red carpet set ups we've seen so far - and thank goodness in the middle of the L.A. heat wave - it was in an air conditioned tented area (amen).

Rather than the typical red carpet, where celebs pose for photos, do quick interviews and go into an event, the live pre-show went down right on the carpet, with Nick Jonas performing "Levels" in front of photographers and MTV and YouTube star Todrick Hall tearing it up on stage as reporters tried to grab celebs for interviews.

In the midst of all of that action there was also a 'Pupparazzi Pen' on the red carpet. In it, adorable puppies from the Shelter Pet Project rocked looks that stars have worn at past VMAs. Stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Bella Thorne and more couldn't get enough of the cuddly little pups and picked them up before heading into the show.
2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Red CarpetWhile we were taking in all the sights and sounds, we also chatted up quite a few stars before Nicki Minaj kicked off the VMAs (and later snapped on Miley Cyrus). Silento showed us how to Whip/Nae Nae, and T-Pain had us ROTFL when we asked him which stars at the VMAs could make him pass out if they touched his metallic tie.
In addition to that, Rebecca Black dished to us about her new single "Alive," and Jojo talked about her music comeback (yassss!). And that was just the beginning. Check out our full red carpet round up in the clip above!

Here's What Justin Timberlake Thought About Kanye West's Speech

0

As Kanye West gave his lengthy acceptance speech for his Video Vanguard award at the MTV Video Music Awards, he also let fans in on a little secret about Justin Timberlake.

"I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose," he said passionately, referring to the 2007 Grammys when they both lost album of the year. "Gnarls Barkley and the FutureLove "SexyBack" album...and Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast, but I saw that man in tears, bro, you know, and I was thinking, like, 'He deserved to win album of the year!.'"

After we heard the audience giggling about Justin's tearful moment, we wondered..."what did he think about Kanye's speech?' And before we could give that too much thought, Justin came with the answer.

"Kanye is so cute, ya'll," he tweeted, not long after the show aired on the west coast. And then he went on, showing that he had no hard feelings about it (before anyone could say he was stirring up some beef).

Jaden Smith definitely supports it too. He was standing in the audience with his fist in the air as the "All Day" rapper kicked off his speech on stage.

That speech went on for about 10 minutes, and by the end of it, Kanye had told everyone he is running for president in 2020. He also dropped the mic...because honestly, after a speech like that, you just have to.

Say Whaaa?! 'Spongebob Squarepants' is Becoming a Broadway Musical

Sundance Portraits - SpongeBob SquarePants
Your favorite Nickelodeon cartoon is getting a completely unexpected revamp, and as bizarre as it is it might be the best news you'll hear all week. According to Variety, Spongebob Squarepants is getting a Broadway musical adaptation - and no, this isn't a joke. Though you might not have expected to hear the words "Broadway musical" and "Spongebob Squarepants" in the same sentence, this play has actually been in the works for quite some time now - and Spongebob isn't your only favorite person involved.

The news may come completely out of left field for the former kids who grew up watching this chipper sea creature's many adventures, but plenty of cool people are already very involved in the project. Cyndi Lauper, John Legend and Steven Tyler are already on board to contribute original music to the Broadway show, and they're only a small group of musicians who will help make this musical a reality. Composer Tom Kitt is also working with a "contributing group of well-known musicians" that include Panic At The Disco and the Plain White T's.

So, yeah: some of your fave artists are officially breathing musical life into your fave cartoon. Try not to freak.

As for when you can see the show... it'll be a while. Previews will run at Chicago's Oriental Theater from June 7 to July 3 of 2016, which means that we're over a year away from seeing this musical in completion. As for those Broadway dates, that remains to be seen. That's too bad, because I think that Spongebob himself understands how I feel about this musical:

This Is Why Amber Rose Wore That Bold Bodysuit to the MTV VMAs

2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals
Amber Rose did not come to play games at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The model made a statement on the carpet when she showed up wearing a bodysuit that had words like "slut," "whore," "gold digger" and "stripper" all over it. Her BFF, Tyga's ex, Blac Chyna, was also with her, wearing a matching bodysuit, and Amber's two assistants were there too, rocking similar looks that said "f*ggot" all over their outfits.
2015 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAs for why she and Blac Chyna decided to wear such the bold outfits, Amber told MTV News, "We just got to a point in our lives where we're sick of getting ridiculed for loving men and being sexual beings and just being sexy women in general. And we constantly get called these names and now we just got to a point where we don't give a f*ck and we're embracing all the slut shaming, all the name calling. And hoes be winning." Well then.

The slut-shaming won't stop at the VMAs, though. Amber is hosting a "Slut Walk" in downtown Los Angeles Oct. 3 that aims to "empower women & LGBT & combat issues, e.g. sexual injustice, victim blaming, derogatory labeling & gender inequality, according to the movement's website.

Zayn Malik Slammed by Jake Roche Over Perrie Edwards Breakup: 'He Should Be Ashamed'

jake roche rixton slams zayn malik over perrie edwards breakupRixton singer Jake Roche is not impressed with Zayn Malik, calling him a "f**king idiot" after his recent split from Perrie Edwards.

Jake told The Sun recently (via 3am): "I think he's a f**king idiot. The way he's treated her is horrible. He's not a very nice man."

Wow. And that's someone with insider info, considering he recently got engaged to Perrie's Little Mix bandmate, Jesy Nelson.

Jake added, "Professionally he's talented but - and I'm speaking from what I've seen - he should be ashamed."

He specifically addressed the rumors that Zayn broke up with Perrie via text message, saying, "It's disrespectful." Agreed.

We're honestly surprised that Zayn hasn't fired back with some kind of shady subtweet directed at Jake before launching into a full-on Twitter feud.

Then again, maybe he's taking a page from Simon Cowell's rulebook, as he recently talked with The Mirror about some of the ish that can go wrong with social media.

Si explained: "I don't like this Twitter stuff, it's kind of like 'you are always going to regret what you send out on Twitter.'"

His advice for Zayn? "Just maybe keep quiet for a while, make a great record and enjoy life. Just that."

Preach. Keep that cray drama to a minimum, Zayn.

​5 Problems Only Very Hairy Girls Will Understand

0
0
2009 Moves Magazine Super Bowl PartyI am a hairy woman. I was once a hairy girl too, and as such I know there are a distinct set of problems that only very hairy females will understand. They stick with you your whole life, because as it turns out, you only get hairier as you get older. Being Greek has a lot to do with how hairy I am. It's genetic. Unfortunately unavoidable. As a child I used to sit and stare at my grandmother, transfixed by the tiny beard growing on the under side of her chin, one hair, especially long, reaching down like a spidery leg for her chest. As an adult I know this to be my fate.

Being a hairy woman is tough. I was called "werewolf" in primary school and "gorilla" in high school, and yet I was nothing compared to some of my other Greek and Italian friends who had pubic rugs on their cheeks and thickets across their forearms that you could twist into tiny dreadlocks. We were a swarthy team of little beasts, joined every once in a while by a new girl hitting puberty and sprouting a mustache for the first time. It seemed dire growing up, but like all things, you learn to live with the hair on your body. And the more growing up you do, the more you realize everyone has something weird growing on them, and then you grow up even more, and realize all those weird growths aren't really weird at all, they're just pretty normal and human. And yet, here are five problems only very hairy girls will understand, because we are werewomen, hear us roar!

1. The Cost of Hair Removal
giphy.com

All women know that a bikini wax is extortionate, sometimes running a bill upwards of $70. But what about when your eyebrows Frida Kahlo, your arms make you look like you're wearing a sweater even when you're not and your thighs, butt and lower back are joined by a rambling bush of dark fluff? From your face to your limbs to your torso and even your toes (yes, some of us grow Hobbit hairs on our toes), hair removal becomes quite the drain on one's bank account. Professional waxing, at home wax kits, bleach, razors, shaving cream: it all adds up!

2. The Time Burden of Constant Upkeep
giphy.com

Aside from the financial cost of hair removal, there's also a huge time commitment involved. Rome wasn't waxed in a day! If you're anything like me, your hairy body replenishes itself at a Wolverine pace, so no sooner have you waxed yourself baby smooth that you need to do so again. I wax my thighs, bikini line and mustache every 2-3 weeks due to the speed with which hairs grow back. Calves and underarms are shaved nearly daily. Needless to say, it's a full time job being a hairy woman.

3. Bleach Burn
giphy.com

It only takes one second too long to give yourself bleach burn. When I was in high school I would bleach pretty much my entire face apart from my eye brows (I have cheek hair and forehead hair), and once I gave myself such a burn on my upper lip I had to take a day off classes because I was so embarrassed of the redness that so obviously betrayed my hair disgusting activities.

4. The Pain of Band Aids, Wristbands, and Anything Else Sticky
giphy.com

Only very hairy women know that feeling of dread when, upon walking into a concert, we see the ticket person with a fistful of wristbands. We dread the inevitable: that moment when the busy and oblivious venue staff slaps a sticky band around our wrist, including a swath of arm hair as they go. For the rest of the night we're itching the spot where we ripped away a small bush of hair, wincing every time we realize a tiny hair is still caught in there, pulling against our skin.

5. The Epic Hair Pile at the End of a Shower
giphy.com

A hairy women will finish a shower and have to pull a bramble of head hair out of the drain. The mystery is how we shed so much and still have so much hair left on our heads. There will also be a black ring of tiny shaved hairs around the edge of the bathtub, where regular soap scum would be for non-hairy people. But for all the woe, it's really not that bad. For starters, we have that luxurious mane on our heads despite the aforementioned shedding. And we'll always be warmer than hairless girls in the winter.

How To Master Pesky Ingrown Hairs...Down There

girl secretAll right, ladies. It's time we had the talk. No, not that one. Let's talk about...ingrown hairs. In the worst place you'd possibly care to have them - downstairs. It's not exactly a subject you'd care to bring to just any casual conversation (that's how you get uninvited to brunch), so we've done the dirty work for you.

The fine folks over at Parissa and SweetEase gave us the scoop about ingrown hairs. Basically what it boils down to is that no matter what you do to maintain your, uh, private mane, you're going to sporadically get what's called "razor bumps" from waxing, tweezing, or shaving. This means your hair has curled inward and is stuck underneath your skin (yikes!). While it's no big deal, these little stinkers can be annoying and also worsened by tightly-fitting clothing or friction. So what can you do about it?
  • Don't, for the love of all things glitter and puppies, pop it! This will just make it worse. This can cause infection and scarring.
  • Do clean the area twice a day with an antiseptic soap.
  • Prevent further irritation by wearing loose-fitting clothing.
  • Reduce swelling by using a cold compress (tea bags + 1 hour in the fridge = perfection), or soothe it with a little Azulene Oil.
  • Red skin = angry skin. So be sure to gently exfoliate in the shower, too, until the little bugger goes away on its own.
  • Prevent ingrown hairs by regularly exfoliating to remove dead skin and dirt that clogs your pores. And keep moisturizing, gals! Use a non-clogging moisturizer to keep your skin happy and healthy.

This Is How Miley Cyrus Acted Backstage After That Nicki Minaj VMAs Diss

Miley Cyrus at the VMAsSo was that Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj beef at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards for real-for real, or totally fake? There are reports that Nicki was REALLY pissed off at Miley and her press comments, and that Miley SO freaked out backstage after the whole incident went down.

"And now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me in the press," Nicki said after accepting her award for Hip-Hop Video of the Year. "Miley, what's good?"

Miley responded by trying to keep her cool, looking totally surprised by her comments. "We're all in this industry. We all do interviews. We know how they all manipulate," she said. Things weren't so sweet backstage, though.

"Miley stormed off stage cursing in anger after that moment," an observer told EW. Was it scripted? A source also told them on Sunday that the incident was not staged.

There are reports that Nicki was really livid with Miley while at the show. The shade was intense...and legit.

The 5 Biggest Challenges of Going Braless

0
0
FRANCE-CINEMA-FILM-FESTIVAL-CANNES-AMFARI'm a woman who hates bras. I feel like all women secretly hate bras. By the end of the day they're so uncomfortable, you audibly sigh relief when you get home, walk in the door, and whip it out of your sleeve. Constricting and pinching, bras certainly are a bane on any breast that enjoys a free and unimpeded life. Perhaps we should burn them, not as a sign of feminism (although that's okay too), but as a sign that we won't take underwire poking into our armpits, straps cutting into our shoulders, and lace making us itchy after a long day any more.

I often go braless, which can be quite challenging at times as I have large, D-sized breasts. But no matter how big the challenges of going braless, I still find those preferable to the woes of actually wearing a bra. In fact, a French study found that bras are a "false necessity" as a test on women ages 18-35 revealed that not wearing a bra actually encouraged the body to grown extra muscle tissue to form "natural support." So there's legitimate evidence to suggest that us braless wonders have the right idea after all. Despite having genius foresight and amazing mammary freedom, here are some of the challenges you might face if you too, decide to go braless:

1. Running Is the Worst
giphy.com

All is fine and dandy when you're braless until you have to start running. Maybe you're goofing around with friends; maybe you're at a picnic and someone pulls out a frisbee or ball; maybe you're trying to catch the bus or the train. There are so many scenarios in which unexpected running will have your boobs bouncing around in all kinds of uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, ways when you're going braless. And then there's the extra awkward "holding boobs while running" look, which, admittedly, will probably make you giggle when you think about how ridiculously you must look rushing along and cupping your breasts.

2. It's Hard When It's Cold...
giphy.com

A sudden chill or burst of cold air is the braless woman's worst enemy. Where wearing a bra would disguise any kind of, ahem, hardening nipple action in cold climates, bralessness does not bode well for the suddenly chilly. It's stiff titties for ladies without bras when the temperature drops!

3. Unwanted Rubbing Can Be Painful
giphy.com

When your breasts are clothed in a bra, everything is safely stowed away. When you're braless, your skin is constantly rubbing on your clothes, especially when you're wearing something loose fitting. All the rubbing can cause painful symptoms like nipple chafing, or worst case scenario, a temporary skin tag to appear. As someone who has had the latter happen, I can tell you it stings. A lot.

4. You Might Accidentally Flash Someone
giphy.com

Not wearing a bra can be a bold choice simply because in certain outfits, you might be prone to accidentally flashing people, especially if you go sans double-sided tape as well. For instance: a sudden gust of wind might send a flowy top flying into your face, exposing the girls. Or maybe you're wearing something low cut and simply bending the wrong way while reaching for something will cause something to inadvertently slip out. The danger of bralessness is that it leaves you vulnerable to showing more skin than you ever intended to. Alas, it's a risk we take.

5. People Might Judge You
giphy.com

Blergh, can we just be done with judging other people for trivial things already? The unfortunate aspect of our society and culture is that people will judge you based on your appearance, even though we inherently know that to be wrong. People might assume you're sloppy or lazy for not wearing a bra. Others might see you as a "slut" or "un-lady like" some other kind of mythical stereotype of a woman. Be prepared to notice judgmental glances, but be just as prepared to dismiss them. You're entitled to dress however you please, because you are strong and beautiful and fabulous, and no one else has any right to try and make you feel otherwise. Meanwhile, the only thing that going braless says about you is that you're someone who finds bras to be quite restrictive and uncomfortable physically. And you can take it from me, there are a lot of likeminded women out there, and in fact, anyone judging you is probably just cranky because their bra is too tight. If you were wearing a bra, you'd be cranky too.

Emmy Rossum is officially a bride-to-be. According to People, the Shameless star and her writer/director beau Sam Esmail got engaged over the weekend. The couple has been dating for two years.

Sam not only directed Emmy in his 2014 romantic comedy Comet, but he also is the creator of the hit USA drama Mr. Robot. Meanwhile Emmy, has had a ton of success of her own, particularly with her latest project Shameless, which she's starred on since 2011.

Kylie Jenner Just Launched an Amazing New Instagram Campaign

2015 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsKylie Jenner has over 34 million Instagram followers and she's using her voice for something great, as she just launched her #IAmMoreThan Instagram campaign.

I am so excited to launch my new @Instagram campaign#IAmMoreThan," she shared on Monday, August 31. "For the next six days, I will be sharing stories of 6 incredible people who have become heroes in their own way by taking #bullying and turning it into something positive."

"I've gotten to talk and bond with all of these people whose stories you will see on my page. I think you will all fall in love with them just like I did," she continued. "I want to encourage you, my fans, to share something positive about yourselves. I'll be reading as much as I can so that some of you can be apart of this as well! Let's do this ❤️#IAmMoreThan #StopBullying."

King Kylie FTW! Seriously, though...there are no words to describe how much we love this.

And Kylie knows what it's like to be bullied, too. As if the haters online aren't enough, the reality star admitted in a recent Snapchat story that she's been bullied since she was nine years old.

"There's bullies everywhere," she lamented in the video. "This is just a little late Snapchat to tell whoever with their own bullies that the only opinion that really matters is yours and to never change."

We love that she's using her platform to do something so awesome...and while we hate that she unfortunately knows what being bullied feels like from experience, maybe this will help put an end to it.

In the few short hours since Kylie's original post about the campaign, there have already been over 2,000 #IAmMoreThan posts.

Why Did KimYe Move Back in With Kris Jenner?

Balmain : Front Row - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2015They're baaaaaccckkkkkk!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (and their adorable daughter North) just moved back in with Kris Jenner, where they had been living for over a year while their house was being remodeled. Then, they finished the renovations, moved into the house and now they're back living with Kris again. So, what gives? Did they miss her too much? Did she just hate not having them in the house?

Maybe, but they are also apparently doing another remodel...because why stop at one remodel when you can remodel the remodel?

Back in March, Kim said that some of her planned projects included her closet as well as the kitchen and one of the bathrooms, so it looks like they decided to kick it with Kris until the construction is complete.

Kris broke the news about her on-again roommates during her appearance at Williams-Sonoma in Calabasas over the weekend, joking that she can't even get "empty nest" syndrome because Kim keeps moving back in. She's not mad about having her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter back in the house, again, though. "Now I have a big family again!" she exclaimed.

We know things get all kinds of cray when Kanye and Kris get together! Here's to these two party animals throwing more ragers like this one...

Khloe Kardashian Is Reportedly Being Sued Over Fireworks at James Harden's Birthday

Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - May 12, 2015Khloe Kardashian threw a huge birthday party for her boyfriend James Harden last week on a yacht in Marina Del Ray and while the party probably created enough noise to keep some residents awake later than they'd hoped that night, it was the unexpected full-on fireworks show that really jolted people out of their beds at midnight.

There were reportedly dozens of 911 calls about the surprise fireworks show, which Khloe claims she had obtained permits to do. "I got all the permits," she told Entertainment Tonight. "Someone couldn't release those fireworks if you didn't get [one]. The company's licenses would've been revoked, so of course I got everything I had to do to do so. No one would just take that risk."

Still, there has been a lot of finger-pointing to try to determine who was ultimately responsible for this ostentatious display that not only scared residents, but woke tons of people up in the middle of the night. And for what? Surely there had to be another way to commemorate the occasion? The rest of us somehow manage.

A photo posted by jharden13 (@jharden13) on


According to TMZ, 12 homeowners in the area (including some celebrities) are suing Khloe and Kris Jenner for $7,500 which is the largest amount allowed in California small claims court. For the residents, this is more about the principle and less about the money. The reason they chose small claims court is because lawyers are not allowed and Khloe and Kris will HAVE to appear.

This will give them a chance to voice their frustrations directly to Kris and Khloe and to tell them how rude they thought the whole thing was. Plus, they all say they suffered emotional distress because of it.

No word yet on when the ladies are expected to appear in court.

Nick Jonas Joins The Cast Of If you were a fangirl of the JoBros, you definitely know who the heck Frankie Jonas is. He was their adorbs (sometimes annoying!) baby brother. Frankie popped up in episodes of Jonas L.A. and tagged along at Hollywood events. But the Bonus Jonas was a celebrity in his own right, working alongside Miley Cyrus' little sister Noah in 2008's Ponyo.

To refresh your memory, Frankie set the bar high for little brothers everywhere.
MEMES were even made about his irritating AF ways.
But in the end, you just can't help but love the little dude.
Well, check out what the 15-year-old looks like now.OK, but that hair tho! We're loving his bold style with his crazy awesome blue hair from back in April. And he's changed it a few times since then. Blue. Red. Orange. Green!
As much as we adore his famous sibs, Frankie is GIVING US LIFE in this photo of him with Nick and Joe. That's something we love about him: His individuality. He's proud to be himself and we are here for it! Keep doing you, Frankie!

From the looks of it, he seems to be a fun-loving teen who is crazy about Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon is like his Beyonce! She's his Insta profile pic and everything!), hangs at Comic Con, belongs to a bunch of fandoms, and confidently flaunts a unique style.

He def seems like someone who'd be a blast to hang out with, but we can't stop obsessing over his hair!

Major Makeup News: Rihanna is Launching a Beauty Line!

RiRi By Rihanna Fragrance Unveiling At Macy's Downtown Brooklyn
Sorry, Kylie, but if there's one star whose beauty look I most want to steal, it's Rihanna's. The singer never wears the same makeup look twice: one minute she's rocking sweet bubblegum-colored lipstick and the next she's all about expertly-crafted winged eyeliner. She's a total beauty chameleon, and soon you might actually be able to steal her many looks: because Rihanna is launching a beauty line. YAAAAS!!!

Refinery29 discovered that Rihanna had trademarked the name Fenty Beauty a while back, but now it seems that Fenty is about to become a reality. RiRi admitted that she always wanted to create a makeup line, but was way too busy to give it her full attention. Now, she's completely on board for the project, which is great news for anyone who covets RiRi's ah-mazing pout. Here's what she told Refinery29 in a recent interview:

[A beauty line] is definitely something I am going to have my hands on and would love to do. It's something that I've always wanted to do, but I've always had so much on my hands. But, this time, I'm going to make sure it happens. I'm going to find some time between albums and fragrance to do that. I promise.

No word yet on what RiRi's beauty line will actually entail, but in a dream world Rihanna stated that she would love to create "lashes that just put themselves on" and "lipstick that doesn't move, but doesn't dry out your lips." Okay, so that probably won't happen (at least not in this lifetime) but whatever RiRi's line includes, you know it'll make you look fab.

Lauren Conrad is Taking Back the Word "Basic"

0
0
2013 Young Hollywood Awards - Show
One-time Hills star Lauren Conrad knows her reputation, and she gives literally no effs about it. Seriously. In 2014, the fashion designer/blogger was called out by Allure for embodying "basic," something that the magazine described as being "remarkably unremarkable." At the time, Lauren was pissed about it - and understandably so. Now? Not so much. She's got bigger things to worry about.

Here's the original post from Allure that first called Lauren out on her "basicness." Personally, I'm not so fond of the word "basic." The word itself belittles women by saying their interests aren't valid. It stereotypes people who look and act a certain way, and it allows people to write someone off without ever getting to know the person under their skinny-jean-and-Starbucks-obsessed exterior. (Feel free to call me a basic bitch, but who doesn't appreciate the versatility of a great pair of skinnies and the refreshing taste of a peach green tea lemonade? You're kind of cray to hate those things. Just sayin'.)

So what's Lauren saying about being basic now? It turns out, she's totally owning it. Here's what Lauren had to say to Cosmopolitan (a magazine that clearly respects the mogul as more than just some so-called basic chick) about her rep:

I probably am pretty basic. But I'm also a pretty happy person, so that's OK with me.

You go, girl: happiness is the best revenge.


Did Taylor Swift Fart During Her 'Wildest Dreams' Video Introduction?

Taylor Swift at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsTaylor Swift slayed the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Too bad everyone on Twitter was obsessed with that um, noise they heard during her "Wildest Dreams" music video introduction.

A lot of viewers noticed that when Tay was introducing her new music video with her gall pals at the VMAs, a weird noise interrupted her, right when her mouth moved, and totally sounded like a toot. WTH?!

The moment in question occurred toward the end of the clip, when the "Bad Blood" singer is saying, "Here's the video for "Wildest Dreams!"' At the exact moment, she also happens to crouch down, and it does sound suspiciously like she, or someone around her, well, you know...

"MTV can confirm that the sound heard in the moment Taylor Swift introduced her new music video, "Wildest Dreams," was isolated to a production microphone," the network said. "There was absolutely no possibility of it being Taylor or anyone in her party's microphones picking up ambient sounds."

LOL! Watch below.

She's not the only one to get hit with toot-drama. Her BFF Selena Gomez had to answer a question about her new song, and if she's saying "farting carrots" in it...

Kylie Jenner Gets a New Piercing on Snapchat

2015 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsKylie Jenner just got a brand new piercing and this one looks like it hurt! Not that any piercing feels good, but pinch the middle of your ear for a sec and you'll see how sensitive it is.

The reality star gave us a play-by-play on Snapchat as she was getting ready to get her newest accessory, sharing this pic of herself with the dot right where the piercing was about to go...

And then as the needle came closer and closer to her ear and were were in a full-on cringe, the video cut out and returned with this:

A sword? That's actually pretty bada**! But look how red our girl's ear is. Ouch! That's her sixth piercing in that ear (if you count the bar at the top as two, which we do because it goes through two different parts of her ear).

We don't know why Kylie was only wearing her bra for the big moment, but whatever. She looks cute and when she's having a gigantic needle plunging through her super sensitive middle ear flesh, let the girl wear (or not wear) whatever she wants!

Our society is making strides in better understanding the trans community, partly due to the visibility that celebrities like Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner bring to this issue. It's vital that the world learns about the issues plaguing the trans community get brought to light: the recent string of suicides in trans youth proves that something needs to change now. Sadly, that message hasn't yet gotten to many of the students Hillsboro High School, who walked out of school in protest over their trans classmate using the women's locker room.

Senior Lila Perry, who was born male but has identified as a woman since 13, chose to use the woman's facilities at her high school this year (instead of the unisex faculty bathroom) because she is a woman - why should she use any other bathroom? Unfortunately, her classmates didn't see it that way: according to many of Lila's classmates and their relatives, Lila should use the men's restroom or a unisex restroom to make the women at the school "comfortable." The conflict escalated to a ridiculous level when 150 students walked out of the school in order to protest where Lila chose to pee and change. Because that seems like a valuable use of all our tax dollars, right?Lila doesn't see the students as truly uncomfortable with her actions, she sees it as pure bigotry. Personally, I think she's right: someone taught these kids that it was okay to discriminate against someone like Lil - like the many parent protesters who are determined to keep Lila out of the girl's facilities despite never having to use these facilities themselves. Where is the compassion?

Conflicts like this show that we have a long way to go towards acceptance and empathy in our society. I'm glad that Lila isn't backing down - all she wants is to be treated like every other woman at the school by her peers. It's not an unreasonable request.
