How To Make Your Own ‘Anaconda’ Dancers Group Costume

by 2 mins ago

“Oh my gosh, look at that costume” is probably what you’re going to hear a lot of this year if you and your friends decide to dress up as Nicki Minaj and her troop of “Anaconda”. Since we’ve already covered possible costumes from the best of Queen Bey and her visual album, it only make sense that we highlight Beyonce’s “Flawless” partner in crime. Plus, the visual effect of a crew of jean-shorted, white-tanked, mean-mugging girl army is more than enough to convince us that this is THE costume of the year.

13 Things We’re Dying To Know About DC’s Justice League Plans

by 25 mins ago

So Warner Bros. pretty much blew up with the world with its massive, 10-film line-up, but we have a few questions.

There were more than a couple blanks in the super ambitious plan, and while I’m still processing the enormity of the announcement, this is what I’m most curious about right now.

1. Why are there two “Justice League” movies?

DC Comics


The split is usually reserved for book adaptations that are just too big. Why set this as the plan from the word “go”? Well, besides money.

2. And why are they two years apart?

GalleryChar_1900x900_JusticeLeague_52ab8e54d0a6f0.42170553


With “The Flash” and “Aquaman” falling in between the two movies, it doesn’t make it seem like there will be a cliffhanger after “Part One.” Is the story just that big?

3. When will there be a new Batman movie?

Ben Affleck as BatmanWarner Bros


There’s been so much made around Ben Affleck as the new Dark Knight, so why didn’t WB slate a new standalone Batman movie? They have plans for more Batman, but if it’s before 2020 as the announcement implies, that means three DC movies in one year.

4. How soon will see see the Flash?

flash-green-lantern


Since the role is already cast, will Ezra Miller make his debut in “Dawn of Justice”? “Also, our apologies to Grant Gustin. We still love you.

5. How different will “The Flash” be from the TV show?

Assuming that the CW show is still around in 2018, ...

What Advice Would ‘Daria”s Quinn Morgendorffer Give If She Were On ‘Girl Code’?

by 3 mins ago

By Laura Franco

Picture it: 1997. It was the year of girl-power dominance in pop culture: the Spice Girls, Fiona Apple and Quinn Morgendorffer. Sure, we know the question on your mind: What about Daria?

While many of us identified with Daria’s timeless (and amazingly acerbic) observations on adolescence, her little sis also provided a generation of girls the absolute truth when it came to boys, clothes, frenemies and, well, being popular.

Flash forward to 2014: We imagine Quinn in an episode of “Girl Code,” dishing on the ups and downs of sisterhood. Here’s what she’d have to say:

1. When it comes to finding “The One,” maintain high standards.

2. Seriously, never settle for second best.

3. Because the dating scene can be a complex (and sick, sad) world.

4. Always strive to be a helpful, honest person who sees the good in everyone.

5. Inner beauty > Outer beauty. Oh, and power yoga rocks.

6. Love yourself, no matter your size.

7. Be proud of your natural talents.

8. Fashion trends are meant to be deep.

9. Hardships will come your way, but giving up is never the answer.

10. A positive attitude is the key to success.

11. And, most importantly, treat others the way you want to be treated. It’s, like, part of karma, right?

Check Out Amber Rose’s New Heart-Covered Hair

by 8 mins ago

After a breakup, many people change their hair. They dye it, cut it all off, get those bangs they’ve been thinking about for months, etc.—you know the drill. In the wake of his divorce from Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa dyed his dreads purple. Now, his soon-to-be-ex-wife (whomp 4eva and eva and eva) is joining the new ‘do club.

While her heart-spotted head may not have been the intended focal point of the photo, it’s definitely a different look than the totally platinum hair she’s had since the spring. While she’s dabbled in bright green and purple before, a pattern is a totally new approach.

The subsequent photo Amber posted seems to indicate a return to her typical hair, though we checked the photo’s original source (her online boutique’s Instagram, natch), and it was posted pre-heart hair.

So, our hope that the hearts are here to stay (at least for a while!) lives on.

Cordcutters Rejoice: HBO Announces Standalone Streaming Service

by 32 mins ago

Great news, freeloaders: you no longer need to rely on the kindness of your ex-college roommate’s friend’s dad’s cable password to get your “Game of Thrones” on! HBO will next year begin to offer a standalone online streaming service of its content, the company announced at a Time Warner investor’s meeting Wednesday (October 15).

HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler announced that even those without a cable subscription would be able to access HBO content, a service currently only available to those with a cable company login through the HBO Go app. The number of U.S. homes with internet is much greater than those with cable, let alone premium add-on channels such as HBO.

“That is a large and growing opportunity that should no longer be left untapped,” Plepler said. “It is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO. So, in 2015, we will launch a stand-alone, over-the-top, HBO service in the United States. We will work with our current partners. And, we will explore models with new partners. All in, there are 80 million homes that do not have HBO and we will use all means at our disposal to go after them.”

What’s still left to figure out is the distribution of this Netflix competitor, according to EW. It remains to be seen whether HBO will choose to offer the service as a separate component from their TV channel for existing cable subscribers, partner with another company or make the service totally standalone, like Netflix.

The One Where Every Episode Of ‘Friends’ Is Coming To Netflix

by 35 mins ago

Did you think that your day, week, month or even year was made when you heard about that Central Perk pop-up shop in New York? Think again, newbie.

Beginning on January 1, 2015, Netflix will officially have every single episode of “Friends” — that’s 236, if you like math — available via its streaming service, so that Phoebe, Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, and even Joey can come visit you in your spacious Manhattan living room whenever you damn well please.

This is obviously life-changing news, so we thought we’d help you sort out your emotions the only way we know how — with GIFs. Here are the 7 stages of accepting that “Friends” is coming to Netflix:

1. First, honestly, there’s a little bit of stress. How are you going to find the time to watch so much “Friends” when there’s work, school, and “Gilmore Girls” already taking up so much of your time?

2. Then, after some deep breathing, there’s acceptance — you realize that this is great news, and that everything is going to be fine.

3. So you start looking back at all of your favorite “Friends” moments, and come up with a list of episodes that you need to watch first.

4. Then you call all your favorite, well, friends, and start planning a viewing party for January 1st.

I Don’t Identify As A Boy Or A Girl: This Is What It Feels Like

by 33 mins ago

What does it feel like to constantly be told to pick a side? To spend your life hearing that what you are is not what you should be? Before the Friday, October 17 premiere of the MTV/LOGO special “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word,” MTV asked the 23-year-old trans/national queer activist and Look Different Good Look Panel member Alok Vaid-Menon to tell his story of growing up gender non-conforming.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

By Alok Vaid-Menon

Growing up [in Texas], I’d always say that I wanted to be my sister when I grew up. When you are a 5-year-old “boy,” this [wish] is acceptable. But when you start growing a mustache at 11, things just get more complicated.

This is not your conventional trans narrative. This is not a story about being born in the wrong body. This is the story of being born in the wrong world. This is the story of being told who we are without our consent. This is a story of a gender that refuses to be defined by a body.

This is my story.

In my culture, there was always a space to be gender non-conforming as a kid. I was the dancing diva at every Indian dinner party, belly-dancing to all of the latest Bollywood hits as my aunties cheered me on.

But everything changed when I hit puberty.

Most boys are eager to tell you about the growing pains that become part of their lives when they shave boy and stumble ...

5SOS’ Ashton Irwin In Hospital With Appendicitis, Band Cancels U.K. And Japan Trips

by 34 mins ago

5 Seconds of Summer’s Ashton Irwin is in the hospital with appendicitis, according to a statment on the band’s website. The drummer had an operation, and while he is recooperating, 5SOS is canceling their trips to the U.K. and Japan.

Irwin is reportedly doing “great,” but this means the foursome will not be attending BBC’s Radio 1 Teen Awards on Sunday.

Read the full statement below:

Hi guys, we have some news for you today. Ashton has come down with a case of appendicitis and had to have an operation. He’s doing great and will be back up & running in no time, but he’ll need to rest up for the next week or so… Unfortunately this means that we’ll no longer be able to fly back to the UK this weekend for the Radio 1 Teen Awards. We will also be postponing next week’s trip to Japan (more info to come soon).

We are so sorry to everyone that had planned on seeing us. We were so excited to come see you all and we never want to make any of you sad… We hope you understand!

Thanks so much for supporting all we do, we love you. Can’t wait for us four lads get back on the road (minus one band appendix) and rock out with you all again soon!

Get better, Ash!
