Here's How Many Calories the Average American Eats at Halloween

American Halloween candyWhile Thanksgiving is the holiday that it is most acceptable to completely ditch your diet for the day, we prefer to consume our extra calories on Halloween instead. And apparently we're not alone.

According to a new infographic published on Visual.ly, the average American consumes 3.4 POUNDS of candy at Halloween (granted, that probably includes the "leftovers" we eat after the big night).

And it's a good thing kids don't worry about calories as much as adults do, because they'll consume an average of 7,000 calories for Halloween, the equivalent of eating 13 McDonald's Big Macs. Hey, when you put it that way, we kinda want to go halfsies and do 6.5 Big Macs and 3,500 candy calories.

Either way, it would apparently take 180 miles of trick-or-treating (or 60 hours) to burn off that many calories, which is way too much work. We'll just let our pants fit a little tight for the next few weeks and trust that our body will give us a one-time pass for that one.

If you've still got some candy laying around and you want to indulge, but don't want to overdo it, they also have this depressing guide to the amount of calories in each kind of candy.

As for us, we're huge fans of chocolate (in any form!), we probably ate more than the average American and we regret nothing!

40 Girls Got Dress-Coded in One Day for Wearing Leggings

Yoga students leaning on studio wallEvery girl knows that leggings are everything. You can dress them up, you can dress them down, you can go to the gym in them, sleep in them, literally whatever you need to do, you can rock your leggings.

Unfortunately, some schools aren't fond of the most versatile piece of clothing ever invented and many schools don't allow students to wear them at all.

via GIPHY

At this school in Tennessee, though, over 40 girls got dress-coded in one day for wearing our favorite wardrobe staple. The leggings themselves aren't actually a violation, it's how they're worn that can land them in trouble. According to their dress code, "Leggings may be worn with appropriate dresses, skirts or shorts."

"The bottom line is, the tops weren't long enough. It didn't have anything to do with the leggings, it was what was (worn) over the leggings not meeting student dress code," a district spokesperson told The Tennessean.

The girls who were found to be in violation of the dress code were taken out of class and their parents/guardians were called. By the end of the day, only eight students did not meet the dress code.

No word on why so many people decided to wear leggings that day.


Jennifer Lawrence Explains Her Gender Pay Inequality Essay

Twentieth Century Fox Presentation at 2015 Comic-ConOur girl Jennifer Lawrence continues to school everyone in sexism. Earlier in October, the Hunger Games star penned a post for Lena Dunham's newsletter Lenny that responded to the fact that JLaw reportedly made considerably less money on American Hustle than her male co-stars despite being one of the biggest names on the bill. JLaw revealed that she felt like she failed at negotiating a better deal for herself because she was so concerned with coming off as "unlikeable" or "a brat" - two words we'd never use to describe Katniss Everdeen's counterpart.

At the Mockingjay Part 2 press conference, the actress opened up about her letter and revealed the sexism that kept her from negotiating as hard as the men:

"It wasn't so much about complaining [that] I wasn't getting paid as much because I'm a woman, it was more about how my mentality get in my own way of fighting as hard as the men to get a better deal, and [if that] was because I am a woman," says JLaw of the reason she wrote the letter. "There definitely wasn't any foul play involved on Sony's part, they're not going to give someone more money if they don't ask for it... I hoped to write about how my own fears of how am I going to look [if I ask for more money] or how am I going to be portrayed, got in my head when obviously the men don't think that way."

Unfortunately, it seemed that Jennifer's letter was totally on point:

"Even after writing it, [ a website called the Lenny letter] "Jennifer's Bratty Display." I was like, thank you, for completely making my point, that if a woman speaks up and is assertive and has a voice that she's going to be called a brat. I don't see a man being called a brat."

Sadly, this mentality effects every woman - not just the women of Hollywood. Major props to JLaw for calling out BS double standards: women have come way too far to continually be silenced by the B word.

Blue Ivy is Feeling Herself in The Carters' 'Coming to America'-Inspired Halloween Family Photos

She's your queen to be! The award for the most fierce up and coming member of the Carters' royal court goes to none other than Beyonce and Jay Z's 3-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. The mini-diva in the making came pretty close to upstaging her superstar mom and dad in a photo that shows the family fabulously decked out in Coming to America-inspired Halloween costumes.

After Bey and Jay partied the night away at a private soirée in New York City, the "7/11" singer took to Instagram to upload a photo of herself, lil' Blue and Jay Z flossing in their festive regal garments, which served as a perfect homage to the 1988 comedy starring Eddie Murphy as the wealthy African Prince Akeem Joffer who goes undercover in NYC in the hopes of finding true love.

"Coming to America🎃," Bey captioned the photo.

As usual, Bey was her usual flawless self, stunting in a yellow printed mini-dress, purple head wrap and loads of gorgeous accessories. Her hubby Jay Z perfectly executed the prince's royal swagger in a tuxedo and crown, complemented by a leopard stole, a cane and Akeem's famous braid. Meanwhile, Blue held her own as a miniature rendition of Iman Izzi, the character in the film who was chosen to marry the prince.

Of all the family photos Beyonce has shared, we have to say this is the one that really highlights Blue's likeness to Bey. It's all in the head tilt, the high ponytail and the attitude.

It's obvious that Blue was feelin' herself and as fabulous as she looks, we can't even blame her.

Why Did Chipotle Suddenly Close 43 Stores?

US-ECONOMY-FOOD-CHIPOTLEIf you went to your local Chipotle on Halloween, all dressed up with your "unnecessary additive" costume to score your $3 burrito and discovered it was lights out at your fave fast-food joint, you weren't alone.

And while we completely understand the crushing disappointment of thinking you're about to devour some delicious Chipotle delight and then having your plans suddenly change on you, when you hear WHY they closed, you'll see that they actually did you a solid.

Turns out, they temporarily shut down a total of 43 restaurants across Washington and Oregon due to an E.coli outbreak.

via GIPHY

See? Told ya...

The exact source of the contamination is yet to be determined, and the investigation is centering around six stores in the Seattle and Portland area, but Chipotle chose to close the others as a precautionary measure. "We immediately closed all of our restaurants in the area out of an abundance of caution, even though the vast majority of these restaurants have no reported problems," a Chipotle spokesperson said in a statement.

Nobody has died as a result of the contamination, however, either people were hospitalized. "I've never gotten sick like this," one of the patients told KATU. "The excruciating pain in my abdomen was something I've never experienced. It feels like your guts are being ripped out."

According to the Mayo Clinic, some symptoms of E.coli poisoning can include: abdominal cramping, pain or tenderness; diarrhea which may range from mild and watery to severe and bloody; and, in some people, nausea and vomiting.

North West Had Three Halloween Costumes This Year

Kanye West Yeezy Season 2 - Front RowNorth West had the Halloween game on lock this year! The 2-year-old had not one, not two, but THREE Halloween costumes, and we can't decide which one we like best.

The toddler got the party started early, posing for this pic with her cousins (Kourtney Kardashian's kids) a couple of days before Halloween. While the Disick kids, and their mom, all went as Superheroes, little Nori was an adorable little unicorn.

The day before Halloween, Kim Kardashian shared this pic of North and Penelope dressed up as Frozen's Elsa and Anna, with the caption "#Halloweenvibes."
It's funny, because that pic - of the back of North's costume, at the top of the stairs, is almost identical to the one Kim shared of little Nori in her skunk costume last Halloween:

My little stinker is waiting to show daddy her costume. Halloween has started early this morning

Anyway, back to this year...for the grand finale, North had a little ladybug costume and it was seriously too cute for words. Here she is with Penelope, who is sticking with the superhero theme, and another one of their trick-or-treat buddies, who either borrowed North's unicorn costume from the other day, or happened to get the same one.

liam payne on sophia smith breakupOur hearts were broken when we heard the buzz that Liam Payne and Sophia Smith broke up. We could only imagine how the split made Liam feel, but now he's shed a little more light on just what happened to cause the breakup.

Liam recently told The Sun on Sunday (via Press Party) that it was the distance that got between them, explaining, "I'm absolutely devastated to have split with Sophia. Being on the tour all this year and being away from her was so hard. We spent so much time apart."

He continued, "But in order to do right by somebody sometimes it's better not to do what your heart wants, but to do what's better for them."

Aw. Srsly heartbreaking.

What's next for Liam? Sounds like a bit of single life soul searching, as he explained: "Right now I'm looking forward to some alone time to figure out who I am and what I want to be."

Why the Newest Sesame Street Character Has Everyone Talking...

12th Annual Sesame Workshop Benefit GalaYou're never too old to learn something new and whether you're three years old or 23 years old, Sesame Street's most recent addition should excite you.

Recently, Sesame Street announced its newest character, Julia, to the world...and Julia has a very important quality about her...

Julia (pictured above) is Sesame Street's first-ever character with autism. Autism is a disorder that affects developmental and communication skills in some children and, unfortunately, there is a lot of stigma around this condition.

Knowing this, Julia was developed as a way to acknowledge that not all kids and people learn or communicate in the same way and that that is 100% okay!

Julia acts as the face of Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children, the program's latest initiative. Their goal? To break down barriers around the term "autistic" and encourage further conversation about its true meaning.

The creators of the Sesame Street character wanted children to be able to learn about autism through a child's point of view to enhance their level of understanding. Julia is a vehicle to speak to children about this condition, using words and examples that children are likely to comprehend.

Autism is an issue that deserves the attention of EVERYONE and it's our hope that characters like Julia will help families, both with autistic individuals and without, become better-educated and accepting.


Did Khloe Kardashian Spend Halloween at the Hospital With Lamar Odom?

Teen Choice 2011 - ArrivalsWhile the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner crew was posting pics from their Halloween adventures on social media, we didn't see anything from Khloe Kardashian. Given that Lamar Odom is still in the hospital, she understandably wasn't in the mood for any Halloween parties - like the one Kendall and Kylie Jenner went to - and she didn't feel up to trick-or-treating with her nieces and nephews, either.

She has been by Lamar's side since he was hospitalized in Nevada on October 13 and has only left a few times since he was transferred to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, once for Kim Kardashian's baby shower and once for James Harden's basketball game in Houston.

She hasn't been posting much on her Twitter or Instagram pages, either, but did wish fans a happy Halloween with this photo.

Fans were quick to point out that it appeared to be taken in a hospital room (notice the medical equipment in the back) and while some wondered if she visited Children's Hospital, which the famous fam frequently does, Khloe confirmed that she spent the evening with Lamar.

When one fan said they hoped she'd had a nice Halloween, Khloe replied that she spent the day with Lamar so that he wouldn't be alone: She had a similar response to another fan who asked her if she dressed up: While Khloe and Lamar did decide to call off their divorce before the judge had a chance to sign off on it, the reality star said that it doesn't mean they're necessarily getting back together.

"It's out in the media that we are back together, but I wish people understood that's not in our thought process right now," she told PEOPLE exclusively. "There are too many other important things, too many medical things. It's not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now."

Whatever their official relationship status is, we think it's nice that Khloe is there for Lamar and even more awesome that James Harden is being so understanding.

Dad of the Year: Single Dad Learned to Style Hair for His Daughter

daughter of braids cornrows his ...Little girls look up to their dads. Pop's the one who fights off the monsters, kills the icky spiders, and treats them like the princess they truly are.

And while dads are good at so many things...I think girls around the world can agree that beauty/fashion is usually not one of those things (cut to dads, sitting outside fitting rooms, looking uncomfortable).

Well, maybe not ALL of them...Philippe Morgese is proving the whole world wrong with his impressive styling skills.

When his daughter Emma was very young, Philippe, a single father, knew that he would eventually have to learn how to style her hair on his own. He started by experimenting with hair clips and then gradually progressed on to ponytails.

In no time at all, Philippe was advancing to more elaborate braiding styles which won him not only his daughter's happiness, but also fascinated questions from other dads, who wanted to learn how to do what he did.
Philippe began teaching his own classes at a local beauty school that focused on educating a group of men in the art of hair-styling.

The classes received an overwhelmingly-positive response and is now being operated under the name "Daddy Daughter Hair Factory."
"I get a lot of credit for doing her hair and hear compliments about my role as a father because of it," he told Buzzfeed. "I want other dads to be able to experience that."

So...many...feels! This dad's commitment to his daughter is definitely getting the attention that it deserves.

We don't know about you, but we're even thinking about going down to Florida to get some hair advice too.

Justin Bieber I'll Show YouJustin Bieber's new album is seriously going to be amazing. The singer just dropped ANOTHER track from the upcoming Purpose, and this time he's taking the slow route.

The new tune is called "I'll Show You" and he takes it back to his R&B ways in it. The lyrics aren't aimed at a girl, but instead at us. He talks about being human, overcoming troubles and how he'll "show you" how swaggy he is in the end.

Like his last banging hit "Sorry," this one is produced by Skrillex, too. While that song had a pretty rad dance video accompanied with its release, "I'll Show You" came with a Bieber video.

In the clip, the Biebs is seen running through lush, green mountains, sitting on the edge of a cliff, rolling down hills and skateboarding on top of a derelict airplane. It's a beautiful clip full of nature's glory and our boy. Watch below.

If you thought a normal Victoria's Secret bra was a splurge, this year's Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra is going to blow your mind.

This morning, Victoria's Secret unveiled this year's mermaid-worthy (a very luxe mermaid, natch) bedazzled confection, modeled by VS Angel Lily Aldridge in a video exclusive with Vogue.
The sparkly AF Fantasy Bra has been a tradition for almost 20 years, and this year's Fireworks Fantasy Bra is just as out of control as in years past. Six hundred eighty five hours of work went into creating this glittery iteration, along with 6,500 precious jewels, and it's selling for a cool $2 million, reports Vogue.

Jeweler Mouawad created the 18-karat gold piece out of 14 different types of gems, including blue topaz, garnet, yellow sapphire and more than 375 carats of diamond. The jewels weigh in at a total of 1,364 carats.

Someone Gave Out Penis-Shaped Candy at a Halloween Parade

Gummie penis bag of dicks candy!Parents in Hattiesburg, Mississippi were furious when they discovered that someone was throwing out penis-shaped Halloween candy during the city's fourth annual Avenues Halloween parade.

One woman described her shock when her 12-year-old nephew picked up the candy. "He looks at it before he opens it and throws it to the ground," she told WDAM. "I pick it up and I wonder what's wrong with the candy. Is it open? I pick it up and look at it, and it's penis candy."

via GIPHY


Understandably angry parents posted pictures of the phallic-shaped gummy candies their kids were given on social media. Several other parents commented that their children had received the same candy as well.

Event organizers did discover who was responsible for the bachelorette party-style candy being given to the children, but they would not release their names.

"We were made aware of the incident after the parade. We had no knowledge of it prior and absolutely would not have allowed it to happen had we known," they said in a statement to WDAM. "The responsible participants were dealt with by our group and as well as the group they were a part of. We're not going to comment on any names. We want to keep the focus of this event on the positives that this event brings to the community."

The parade's rules did state that "No decorations, costumes, dance, songs, attire, etc." could be "sexually suggestive" or "explicit," and the organizers say they will be making changes to the rules to make sure something like this never happens again.

Absolutely Insane: The Iphone 6S Screen Can Weigh Objects

Are you considering stepping up your iPhone game and shelling out for the brand-new iPhone 6S? If so, you may be in for more than the phone's super cool "peek" feature (where you can look into apps by holding down your finger and without actually opening them) and the gorgeous rose gold color. According to reports, the iPhone 6S has the ability to detect pressure and weight - which means that it can actually weigh small objects. Pretty neat, right?

According to Business Insider, it's the phone's 3D Touch feature that really makes it stand out from other variations of the iPhone. That means that it detects pressure from your fingers, which changes how the phone operates. For example, a light touch on an app will allow you to "peek" into it, while a harder push will open the entire app. That concept allowed app developer Simon Gladman to create an app that could "weigh" small objects using just your cellphone.

Simon created the app to show how the iPhone was able to detect weight using the percentage of the phone's maximum force. For example, a small plum may be 20% if the total force of the phone, and a larger one might be 25%. (Simon originally tried to do this experiment with grapes, but found them too light for the phone to detect.) Check out the video below to see for yourself:You might not use the iPhone 6S as a substitute for a fruit scale (if that's even a thing you use ever) but it is a perfect example of how the iPhone's technology is evolving. Who knows what crazy ish Apple will come up with in the future?

Did Louis Tomlinson Confirm 'Perfect' Is About Taylor Swift?

louis tomlinson perfect about taylor swift
Something tells us the One Direction guys are going to get asked who their song "Perfect" (*cough* Taylor Swift) is about for some time. There's no way to avoid it, as far as we can tell.

Louis Tomlinson recently chatted with Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O and was put on the spot about whether or not "Perfect" is so totally about Taylor. You wouldn't expect a confirmation from Louis, now would you?

Instead, he played it cool (something tells me they're prepared for this line of questioning), saying only, "It's obviously down to interpretation so I'll let you decide." When Kyle responded, "I've decided its about Taylor Swift," Louis said, "Well there you go."

Yeah, not exactly a solid 'yes,' but he didn't deny it either!

Louis and the guys have also been asked a lot about Zayn Malik leaving the band this year, and while he told The Sunday Times Style magazine (via Mirror UK) that "it was hard...maybe for me the most," he told Kyle and Jackie O exactly how it all felt in more detail.

Louis explained: "Obviously it was a difficult time at first - any job where you lose someone...when you lose part of your crew..I think he has his own reasons, whatever that is, but bottom line is that maybe he did fall out of love with the music, which is absolutely fine. "

Water under the bridge, as they say.

Portrait of teenage girl lying on bed and hearing music with headphonesIf at least one of the following is true for you, then pay attention. We're gonna drop some life-changing knowledge on you.

1. You have five alarms set on your phone, each set to go off within five minutes of the previous one.
2. You hit the snooze button at least three times before you actually get up.
3. You have woken up, showered and then climbed back in bed to doze for another 10 minutes.

OK, so, if you didn't say yes to at least one of these things, you're either a robot or a morning person (if it's the latter, we're extremely jealous). For the rest of us, there's this Spotify playlist, discovered via Refinery29, filled with songs scientifically proven to get your a** out of bed.

It's called "Wake Up" (directness is appreciated first thing in the AM) and it was made with the assistance of David M. Greenberg, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge who studies the psychology of music. Demi Lovato's "Confident," Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's "Downtown" and Avicii's "Wake Me Up" (duh) are some of the energy-charged tunes that made their way onto the playlist.

If you want to make your own rise-and-shine playlist, David suggests going for songs that build in intensity to help you gradually wake up. Positive lyrics and strong beats are also a winning combo for success.

Give the playlist a shot and tell us if it works for you! Spotify got us feeling like:

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Reunite for Halloween With Dem Babies

Just because Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are no longer together, doesn't mean they won't go all out for "Dem Babies" for Halloween.

Mariah and Nick got all dressed up with their 4-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan - for a night of fun at Mariah's family-friendly private Halloween party at a posh 15 million dollar Beverly Hills Airbnb estate (talk about doing it big). For their night out, the songstress rocked an all-leather witch costume complete with a giant witch hat. Meanwhile, Nick wore a green sweatsuit and an Incredible Hulk mask.

A photo posted by Mariah Carey (@mariahcarey) on

Their little ones were dressed up as a super cute Batman and an all-pink Batgirl (seriously just can't take how precious these two are). "A #ghoulicious time with dem babies #halloween," Mariah captioned a shot of herself posing with her little ones.

Although Mariah and Nick looked chummy as they were riding on the back of a go-cart together with their kids, don't look for them to get back together any time soon. Mariah's boyfriend, James Packer, was also there, cozying up with her in a black suit and masquerade mask. We're also told Nick spent most of the night twirling around Monroe on the dance floor.

Nick also posted a family Halloween shot on his Instagram which showed him and Mariah posing with their twins on that golf cart. "Family Festivities! #Ncredible Hulk Halloween!," he captioned it. As for the grub for the night, the family and their guests munched on sliders and fried mac and cheese and guests sipped caramel apple martinis. Yum!

Even though Nick and Mariah aren't an item, we love that they're keeping things civil for the sake of their kids. Their divorce couldn't have been easy on any of them.

Selena Gomez Thought Miley Cyrus' Halloween Costume Was Rude?

2008 Teen Choice Awards - Backstage And AudienceOh, the dramz! Halloween couldn't even go by without there reportedly being some Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez side-eye.

Miley dressed up as Cinderella for Halloween this year...or should I say Cindersmelly. No big deal...other than the fact that she apparently offended her past Hannah Montana employer Disney with her costume. She posed as the princess on Insta all while smoking a blunt. #Yikes.

Shortly after Miley flaunted her herb-princessness online, there was talk that another former Disney star wasn't happy with the twerking star's costume either. Selena Gomez reportedly thought that Miley's post was disrespectful to the people who gave her her big break.

While we could totally see Selena probably really feeling that way, GossipCop.com is shutting down the rumor. They're saying that their Sel sources are telling them that Selena did NOT say or think anything negative about Miley's Halloween outfit or social posts.

Taylor Swift Accused of Deleting Tumblr Accounts Talking Up Adele

Taylor Swift at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Red CarpetWe've all been in our glory since Adele dropped her new single "Hello" last week. Well, that's everyone except maybe one person. There's talk that Taylor Swift is not a fan...Blasphemy, right?! We know.

Now, there isn't any confirmation on this but there is a very curious conspiracy theory circulating the internet and it claims that Tay Tay and her team have been getting the Tumblr accounts of Adele fans deleted from the platform. If you're wondering WTF-Swiftastic...don't worry we did too.

This drama supposedly stems back to the surprise drop of the new single, which went on to knock Taylor's "Blank Space" vid off the top spot as VEVO's most watched video in 24 hours. With some Adele fans taking to Tumblr to essentially rub it in Taylor's face that she'd been dethroned by the 23.2 million views on the "Hello" video, it was only when some of the posts in question started disappearing that things got interesting.

The suspicion kicked off when one Tumblr user posted on Twitter pointing to the fact that his account and post doing just that had become totally inaccessible. He claimed it had something to do with Taylor's team in this tweet: Which was apparently backed up by a friend's screengrabs of the original Tumblr post:
http://the--funnies.tumblr.com/post/131935735885/so-apparently-this-is-getting-deleted-everywhere

While we highly doubt Tay Tay would stoop to this level, several posts from other users then started popping up alleging the same thing had happened to their accounts after they'd posted similar things about Adele beating Taylor's VEVO record.

So is Taylor getting people's accounts axed or what? We bet Poot Lovato has something to do with it.
