liam payne solo career one direction break
Turns out, Liam Payne is going to be busy during One Direction's upcoming break - well, that's what his dad says, anyway.

While solo career rumors have been swirling like, forever about the 1D guys, it sounds like Liam will be working on his own material when the band is on hiatus.

In a new interview with Express & Star, Liam's dad, Geoff, said his son is already putting in the work, explaining, "I've heard some of his output in the studio and it's quite strong."

He added, "Over the years I've watched him grow as an artist; watched him learn how to write songs. He probably wrote 50 percent of the last two 1D albums and he's already done remixes for other performers."

As for that break, Geoff reckons that Liam won't want to just chill, saying, "I would hope he'll take a breather once 1D is done, but knowing Liam he'll want to get back into it after a few months."

Here's Why Burger King's Black Whopper Will Turn Your Poop Green

If you've tried the black-bunned Whopper Burger King launched for Halloween, you probably noticed an interesting effect afterwards: neon green poop (!).

According to a ton of people who feasted on the burger, their poop was bright green when they went to the bathroom after eating it, according to USA Today. So, what's the deal? It turns out the burger - which is tinted with A.1. Steak Sauce is having that effect because of the dye in it.

"To make poop turn that color green, it would require far more dye than is in the typical type of A.1.," naturopathic doctor and certified nutrition counselor Pamela Reilly told the site. "My guess is that they're using a concentrated form." Thankfully, Pamela said the color of the poop is nothing to worry about, and that other dyes, like the ones in frosting, can deliver the same effect.

It can also happen if you eat "mass quantities" of bright foods (leafy greens or beets, for example) or if any type of food passes through your colon too quickly.

Whether you eat the burger or not though, someone just created an epic way to have some fun with it. Following all of the tweets about the green poop effect, HalloweenCostumes.com turned it into a costume. Now, couples (or friends) can dress up as the Black Whopper and green poop for Halloween (seriously). And if you have a third friend in tow, there's also a Burger King costume that can be paired with it.You'll basically win every Halloween costume contest in life if you have those on, and you can make it yourself. The site posted a DIY tutorial on how to create green poop and Whooper costumes by adding in some details to their 'tough s#it' and cheeseburger costumes (you can buy the King costume for $45 or $65) like coloring the bun black with a marker.

Happy Halloween indeed.

Victoria Justice Twerked to Cope With Her Auto Immune Disorder

2015 Fun, Fearless Latina Awards When life hands you lemons, sometimes all you can do is twerk.

When Victoria Justice recently opened up about a health struggle she's been facing, she also revealed that twerking has been one of the things that's been helping her get through it (seriously). "A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, which is a thyroid autoimmune disorder," she told Health magazine. The disease, which attacks the thyroid, can affect metabolism and lead to an underactive thyroid gland, caused her to have acne flare-ups and issues with her weight.

Those skin issues got worse when she was put on a thyroid medication. "I think the levels were too high for me because it caused my skin to break out," she told the mag. "All my life I've always had great skin, so it was really devastating. It definitely did affect my confidence, and it made me a little bit more self-conscious. But at the end of the day, I had the support of my family and friends. I knew that the people around me had my back. Now I really empathize with people who have issues with their skin, because it can get you down."

Her fluctuating weight wasn't a confidence-booster either. "At first, I was losing a lot of weight, then I went on tour and I started gaining weight, and it was the most I'd ever gained in my life," she continued. "I was, like, 115 pounds. Then when I filmed a movie last summer, I actually went under 100 pounds."
Victoria Justice In ConcertAlthough Victoria still has the disorder, she said she's "back to normal," adding, "It was crazy, but things have leveled out. I'm not on medication. I feel good." And there's one main thing she added to her workout regimen to help her cope with it: she twerks.

"I'm not kidding," the 22-year-old actress said. "It's actually a really great workout. After 10 minutes of twerking, your thighs and your butt feel it right away. But it's so much fun. You feel free. It's like, 'Who cares? I'm twerking!'" Who knew?!

Excuse us while we run out and try to find that class.

Miley Cyrus Is Pulling a Miley and Planning a Naked Concert

Miley Cyrus at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsWant to see Miley Cyrus naked...some more? Well, now is your chance. Homegirl is planning to put on a huge concert...in the nude.

Miley is planning to perform in the buff with the Flaming Lips. And it won't be for just any crowd! Their audience will be completely in the nude, too.

Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne shared the big news on Tuesday posting a split pic of his band and Miley appearing to be nakey.

"Oh, fuck ... !! Miley Cyrus is planning a show where her, the band (us) and the audience are all COMPLETELY naked with milk (well, white stuff that looks like milk) is being being [sic] spewed everywhere," Wayne wrote.

"It's a video (in the works) for #mileycyrusandherdeadpetz song, 'The Milky Milky Milk.'"

No word as to when this naked, milk-spewing shindig will take place, but these two are planning all sorts of shenanigans these days. The Flaming Lips are planning a tour together that kicks off Nov. 19 in Chicago.

Miley being in the buff isn't anything really shocking anymore. She's recently described herself as a "vegan nudist," and told Jimmy Kimmel in August, "I see a lot of people with their clothes on, and they're kind of assholes." She added, "If you've got your tits out, you can't really be an asshole."

Teen Choice 2010 - ArrivalsAs soon as the news of Lamar Odom's hospitalization broke on Tuesday afternoon, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, who is seven months pregnant, immediately flew out to Las Vegas to be with him.

Kylie Jenner was in the middle of a livestream on her app/website at the time and abruptly ended it. Kendall Jenner was the first family member to (albeit indirectly) address the situation on Wednesday morning, tweeting three simple, yet heartbreaking words, writing "please don't go."
Hallmark Hosts Cody Simpson Album Preview Party
The next family member to say something on social media was Kris, who shared a throwback photo of Lamar during his NBA days, with the caption, "Please pray for Lamar #ourfighter." Rob Kardashian was next, sharing the photo below with the caption, "praying nonstop for my brother!"

While anxious fans are eager to get updates from the family, they are understandably not spending a lot of time on social media at the moment, as they are rallying around Lamar at the hospital in Las Vegas.

Khloe has not left his bedside since Tuesday night and Kris and Kim have been spotted coming and going throughout the day. Kendall and Kourtney arrived at the hospital on Wednesday afternoon and Caitlyn Jenner is currently en route.

In addition to their own family members, Khloe reportedly arranged for Lamar's ex and their two children to be flown in from New York to be there with him. His father was spotted arriving at the hospital early Wednesday afternoon and E! News reports that Khloe arranged that, too.

Khloe has not only been making sure Lamar's loved ones are with him while he remains in a coma, she is also reportedly making some medical decisions for him, as she is still legally married to Lamar until a judge signs their final divorce papers, which could still be two months from now. According to TMZ, Khloe has already made "several" such decisions since Lamar was admitted.

We continue to wish Lamar, his family and his loved ones all the best during this difficult time.

Bummer thing is that he was unable to make the awards show, which ended up rubbing some people majorly the wrong way. You can't please 'em all, Liam.

He did, however, tweet that he felt "gutted" that he couldn't make it and thanked the mag for the award, which he called "the biggest compliment in my life so far." How cute is that? liam payne sexy gif

3 Secrets to a Good Night's Sleep

baby sleepingSleep is very important, but it seems that nowadays we are getting less and less of it. Don't we all want to sleep like when we were babies again? Our bodies need to rest to be able to rock the next day. Here are three tips to help with a sweet slumber every night.


Avoid Caffeine in the AfternoonI know, I know! Everyone loves their coffee, but get your daily dose in morning and replace it later in the day with other drinks like tea or juice. Coffee is a stimulant, which may linger in your system and prevent you from sleeping.


Unplug About an Hour Before
Now more than ever, we are attached to our electronics and feel the need to catch up before going to bed. I know because I'm guilty of this, especially since I'm busy during the day and I don't have time to check my social. But for your body to completely relax and decompress, it needs to know that the day is over. By checking e-mail, social media or watching TV, your brain is actually stimulated, even though you may not think so. An hour or so before bed, opt to do something more relaxing like reading while sipping on some herbal tea, meditating or taking a hot bath to help slow down the brain and get ready for bed.


Plan for the Next Day
Sometimes, all you need is to plan out the day ahead. The stress and worries of what you have to do might keep you up. Write a list of the things you have to accomplish the next day, so you know that there's nothing you will forget, and you'll feel more relaxed instead of stressed out about forgetting something you have to do tomorrow.

4 Surefire Ways to Avoid Procrastination

Young woman with bored expression on faceWe've all experienced that moment when we read an assignment that isn't due for another few weeks, so we put it to the side. Before you know it, the due date creeped up on you and WHAT? It's due tomorrow! I procrastinate just as much as the next person - if not more - but this semester, I decided I would change that. My excuse is always, "I work better under pressure," but let's face it. That's everyone's excuse! Here are some tips to ensure you're not staying up all night to finish an assignment due the next day:

1. Use an Agenda
This may seem like an obvious one, but my agenda is my life-saver! I suggest taking a few minutes out of your day to look through all of your syllabi and make note of any due dates. Not only should you write due dates down on your weekly spreads, but also on the monthly spreads. The monthly spreads make it easier to see how close or how far the due date is. You can even spice up your planner with stickers and make it #plannergoals like the one above.

2. Write Yourself Little Love Notes
Note to selfThis ties in with the agenda. I like to write myself little notes, so I'll remember to start an assignment. For example, let's say my assignment is due Nov. 3; in late September/early October, I'll go through my planner and write notes every few days. I'll start out with one to two notes per week and increase the amount as the due date gets closer. They don't have to be super long notes. I keep it simple: "Hey, you might want to at least outline your psych project" or "The clock is ticking, you only have a week left."


3. Don't Do It All at Once
Stressed babyIf you have a 10-page paper to write and you just dive into it, odds are you're going to give up before page one is done. You have to dip your toes in the water first. Try doing a page or two a day. This means you have to start it at least a week before the due date, not the night before. This also works for studying and reading. If you have 50 terms to study, make a few flashcards a day instead of all 50 at once. Or if you have to read a chapter that's 40 pages long, don't sit down right before class and try to read it all! Read a couple of pages everyday.

4. Timed Intervals
Getting off phone to do workI think we're all guilty of getting distracted by our phones or computers. When setting timed intervals, it's a little easier to avoid that distraction. Before I start any work, I make myself a list of things I have to do, and next to it, I write a set start and end time (ex. 7 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.). I suggest overestimating a little. This will ensure that you have enough time; plus you'll feel good about yourself if you finish earlier than the end time. I usually give myself five to 10-minute breaks in between every two or three tasks, so it's not work, work and more work! Giving myself the little time in between also helps fight the urge to use my phone while I'm actually doing the assignments.


I know what you're probably thinking: "These won't help! I'll be a procrastinator forever!!!" But seriously, try them out. They've helped me a lot. I no longer spend my Sundays writing 15-page papers due the next day!

Olivia Pope: The Train Wreck We Need on Televsion

ABC's Kerry Washington makes it no secret that she doesn't understand our obsession and idolization of the Olivia Pope character we see on our screens every Thursday at 9/8c on ABC.

She states the following in an article from the L.A. Times:

"I've always thought it was really misguided when women tell me that Olivia is their role model, because she's having an affair with a married man who is president of the United States. And a murderer. And they stole an election together. Well, she stole it for him."

I was honestly a little sad when she said that. Olivia Pope represents a great deal of negative stereotypes women are battling, but she also represents the power that women have been trying to harness and use for decades. The character that she portrays is an absolute necessity for my well-being and many other women. She shows us strength, courage, what equality can look like and the never-say-die attitude that we have needed for years. Whether it's all realistic or not, we NEED her like pumpkin everything in the fall.

We needed her when she proclaimed to Fitz, the leader of the free world, at the top of her lungs that he wasn't going to own her anymore.
We needed her when she told the truth about race in America and every fear a woman has when she enters a relationship with someone of another race.


We needed her every time she was rough on her gladiators.

We needed her when she determined that she was going to stop everything and for once choose herself.

We needed her when she put her father in jail. (He was very unhappy.)

We needed her every single time she fought for injustice and went with her gut.

That's a boss lady for sure, and every time someone tries to tell me that I'm too strong, too passionate, too emotional or too focused I'll just simply tell them......

I'm TPTC.

Too. Pope. To. Care.

Your Favorite Late Night Host Is Now a Fashion Designer

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 2Fall is obviously everyone's favorite season - PSLs, sweater weather, Halloween - and SPORTS. From September through January, we live for Sunday nights, cheering on our favorite football teams and indulging in some homemade nachos with a big group of friends.
Jimmy Fallon, once again, proves he's just like us - licking the last bit of queso from the bowl - only his football-watching guests include high profile connects like G-III, the company that also has licensing deals with Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Jimmy has created a line of customizable sportswear called "Hands High" for the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL - with logos in all different places, especially under the arm. Get it? Because if you raise your hands high, you'll see the logo! (Oh Jimmy...) According to WWD, the collection will eventually include colleges as well.
The late night host was super giddy in a statement on Nasdaq:

"I'm so excited to team with G-III who took my vision and made it a reality. Hands High will fire up crowds to cheer with their hands in the air and bring the thrill of the game to a whole new level of fun."
Check out Jimmy's official announcement, as well as official pictures of the men's line on The Tonight Show below.

Wondering how the designs would actually look on a women's line, David Cooper, who heads the PR and release of the brand, said this:
"The creative inspiration will be similar to the men's line, with incorporation of team marks in the under arm area. The product will include great fabrics and fashion forward silhouettes."

Unfortunately, women's sizes won't be available until the spring, after most sports seasons are over. Guess Jimmy needs more time to perfect those "fashion forward silhouettes." Game on!

magnolia cupcakeKate Spade's classic structured bags in bold colors have always been a treat, but her most recent collection is sure to make your mouth water. Partnering with Magnolia Bakery, a New York staple, the brand launched a cupcake-themed handbag line, adding a whole new definition to food-inspired fashion.
For those of you who have never had the delight of sinking your teeth into one of Magnolia's glorious cupcakes, let us tell you, it's like tasting a little bite of heaven with adorable, pastel frosting. Not only is the bakery a cutsey, homey spot sure to put your grandmother's recipes to shame, it's also one of Carrie and Miranda's favorite spots back from the Sex and the City days. Even now, you can see lines forming down the streets of Greenwich Village (the original location - they've since expanded), as New Yorkers follow their noses to the enticing scents of butter mixed with sugar.

But now, Magnolia (which we always considered to be art) has been turned into fashion. From purses shaped like cupcakes with rich, pink butter cream to cookbook clutches and bags that resemble pastry boxes, Kate Spade has officially become the baker of the accessory world. The best part? Kate even went and made a bag shaped like Magnolia's most famous item: its creamy banana pudding, which you can now fill with all of your prized belongings (and maybe actual banana pudding?).
The line launched Oct. 12 with prices ranging between $78 and $348. Even if you're not a New Yorker, do your sweet tooth a favor and consider rocking this delectable arm candy.

Do Not-for-Profit Collabs With Fashion Brands Really Work?

$

Alexander Wang - Runway RTW - Spring 2016 - New York Fashion WeekDo not-for-profit x fashion collabs really work? The simplest answer is yes, they work very, very well.

It's no secret that a popular face paired with a cause creates a lot of buzz, typically on social media around an issue that otherwise might not have gained much public traction. But we couldn't help wonder: Do collaborations between fashion brands and charities actually lead to measurable, quantifiable change?

We asked Naomi Hirabayashi, chief marketing officer of DoSomething.org, an organization whose core message is to activate young people to take action on important issues. They work with artists, fashion designers and digital influencers throughout the year as an integral part of who they are. Last month, the not-for-profit partnered with Alexander Wang at the dawn of his label's 10th anniversary to create a collection of exclusive T-shirts and sweatshirts sold online, at his flagship store in Soho and during his NYFW Spring 2016 show. The shirts completely sold out in the first week!

Naomi cheerfully explains that the success of their partnership grew from an alignment of both brand messages: Alexander, a young designer who knew exactly what he wanted from a very early age (to be a very famous fashion designer, apparently), and DoSomething.org, an organization that energizes young people at any age to make change. The impact of partnerships between a charitable organization and a fashion designer is created when the two share some sort of core value. Alexander put his full support - and his famous friends - behind DoSomething.org, which led to a lot of amount of money being raised: 50 percent of which will go to over 220 campaigns at the organization, supporting issues from animal welfare to poverty to climate change.
Naomi strongly believes celebrities and influencers have an enormous impact on charitable campaigns, other than their high profile names. Enlisting famous figures has become an essential piece of her organization's strategy to reach young people (aka us), she says, "because doing good shouldn't compete with the things that you already love; it should be integrated within that."

The power of celebrities and fashion designers in the spotlight shouldn't be a competition for attention, but a cohesive partnership to induce effective change. The DoSomething x Wang campaign runs through the end of this fall, so the full scope of its success can't yet be determined. Naomi is confident that its current success will continue, as well as pave the way for future partnerships at this level to happen again.

E! Network UpfrontWithin hours of Lamar Odom being hospitalized on Tuesday night in Nevada, Kris Jenner, Khloe and Kim Kardashian were there at the hospital with him and Khloe has not left his side since that time.

There have been conflicting reports about Lamar's condition, with Entertainment Tonight citing a source who told them that the fam got a glimmer of hope when Lamar squeezed Kim's hand on Wednesday night and fluttered his eyes open briefly.

TMZ, however, refutes that report, saying Lamar briefly squeezed KHLOE'S hand on Wednesday night and that doctors told them it could have been an involuntary movement. They're also reporting that as of Thursday morning, Lamar remains in a coma, with four of his organs (including his kidneys) continuing to fail.

They've also been told that the longer he remains in this state, the lesser his chances of survival. "The doctors are concerned it has been too long that he's been in this condition and now it's not looking good," their source said.

Our thoughts continue to be with Lamar and his loved ones and we're still hoping things will take a turn for the better.

Little Mix prank radio interviewer One Direction Justin Bieber videoThis. Is. Brilliant. We've seen Little Mix prank interviewers before, but this go around, when asked about the One Direction vs. Justin Bieber album release competition, the ladies really got the DJ so good.

So good, in fact, they made her cry.

During their interview with KIIS 106.5 Sydney's Kyle & Jackie O, the Little Mix ladies were asked to weigh in on the Justin and 1D album release date - and they weren't having it.

The interviewers asked: "Your [album] is out on November 6. I think a week later they are doing that whole One Direction versus Justin Bieber thing there on the 13th. What do you guys think of the 1D Bieber thing? Have you got any opinion on it?"

While all the ladies act a bit uncomfortable, Jade Thirlwall totally sells the prank, saying, "To be honest, I'm sick of talking about it...just the whole Justin Bieber thing."

She added, "We want to talk about our music and then we get asked about him all the time...what's the point?...I'm serious. I said I didn't want to talk about it."

Oh, and then she walks out. Acting!

The interviewer is left absolutely stunned and horrified over the totes awk exchange and then the LM ladies trail after Jade, only to return to tell Jackie O she just got punk'd.

Her reaction? Tears...mostly of relief, because she said she was afraid she pissed them all off!

This is too good.

67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press RoomWhen it comes to celebrity BFFships that we completely adore (and secretly wish we were a part of), Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence remain at the top of our list of #squadgoals. We imagine that it's already feels pretty freakin' fantastic to be in Amy's position of continuously making all sort of #bossmoves. So, what better way to enjoy the fruits of her labor than being in the company of an equally bossed up bestie like J. Law?

While the Mockingjay actress has kept busy by contributing to important conversations such gender pay inequality and the presidential race, Amy tackled an even more pressing issue while speaking at the Funny or Die Presents: Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival - how she feels about being friends with Jennifer.

"I know you guys look at me and you're like, 'You're a comedian, you're a model.' I seriously am always like, 'Am I f**king gorgeous?'" Amy said. "And then I became friends with Jennifer Lawrence and I was like, 'Nope!'"

She continued, "I just feel like I'm in the movie, Twins, and I'm Danny DeVito when I'm with her.""

We're willing to bet that, like us, J. Law is somewhere snorting at the hilarity of her bestie's friendship wisecracks, which we expect to see more of when Amy and Jennifer's upcoming screenplay comes to fruition.

Harry Styles and Georgia Fowler dating scrabble videoHere's proof that you can make a romance rumor out of anything - Harry Styles played Scrabble with model Georgia Fowler, wearing only a robe. That's a formula for dating buzz right there.

Scrabble is the sexiest of all board games, after all.

A video of Harry playing Scrabble got people all fired up because, um, is he naked under there? Is this a post-hookup game? What even is going on?

We're pretty sure we don't need to read into it too much, but check out the Snapchat video of their game that Georgia posted. Harry lays down his tiles and the model yells, "F**k! That's where I was gonna go!" In another video, Harry is seen looking all cozy at the patio doors.

We don't know if they're dating or not, but it is almost Harry's winter girlfriend season!
