by 2 mins ago

The letters “A,” “B” and “C” line the walls of many a nursery, but Catelynn Lowell plans to outfit her new baby’s room with at least a little bit more of the alphabet.

The “Teen Mom” cast member, who announced she was having a baby with Tyler Baltierra in August, is inching closer to her due date. And though she’s been mum on the details about her new little girl, she gave social media followers one big clue about the name the couple has planned. Plus: color scheme spoilers!

CatelynnVCatelynn Lowell's Instagram

“Just painting baby girls name for her wall,” Cate tweeted with a photo of an orange-painted letter “V.” So let’s just say — for argument’s sake — that “V” is the first letter in the name — what do you think it could be?

Could you see a Veronica Baltierra on the horizon? Should we prepare ourselves to meet little Violet, Victoria or Vivian, or could Vanessa be the couple’s pride and joy? Give your best guesses as to what Cate and Tyler’s baby girl’s name could be!

Here’s How To Recreate Rita Ora’s Faux Bang Top Knot

by 30 mins ago

At this point, we shouldn’t be surprised by Rita Ora’s hair game. We’ve seen her with beautiful blown-out waves, choppy blunt bobs, and an assortment of braids. We’ve even spotted her rocking a cotton candy shade of pink during her Adidas Originals shoot. Basically, homegirl is fearless when it comes to her strands. What we haven’t seen, however, is the “Black Widow” singer wearing a topknot with heavy bangs—and temporary ones, at that!

Rita wore the striking hairdo at a Marchesa show during London Fashion Week paired with a seriously smoky eye and plum lip. So, who’s responsible for her smart-yet-stunning lewk? Her mane (heh) man, Chris Appleton, of course, whom you might remember from our House of Style: All Up In The VMAs special (along with Ms. Ora herself). She gave her hair stylist a shout-out on Instagram saying, “What you mean you can’t turn a knot into a fringe? @chrisappleton1 he can lol! #hometimeselfie.”

If you want to replicate this look at home, you’re in luck! We found a tutorial that walks you right through the process, and seriously, it’s a lot easier than it looks.

‘The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants’ Reunites For Brunch: See The Pic

by 1 min ago

Even without a pair of magic trousers to bond over, the ladies who once formed “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” are still as close as ever. Nearly ten years after they first came together as teenagers on the set of that film, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Blake Lively are still getting together for brunch — and instagramming the moment for posterity.

It’s anyone’s guess how often these ladies manage to see each other, but the timing of this get-together is interesting considering the recent announcement of a third movie in development for the “Sisterhood” franchise. Could they all be getting reacquainted in anticipation of getting back into those pants? DISCUSS.

Ben Affleck’s Batman Will Hulk Out In ‘Dawn Of Justice’

by 6 mins ago

You wouldn’t like Ben Affleck when he’s angry. Unless you like Batman, in which case, you might like angry Affleck.

The Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker is the latest man to bring the Dark Knight to life, taking over the cape and cowl from Christian Bale, and hitting the battlefield opposite Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” With the film still more than a year away from release, we won’t know exactly what Affleck has in mind for his interpretation of Bruce Wayne until opening day. But in an interview with UK paper The Sunday Times (via Dark Horizons), Affleck opened up on at least one aspect of his Batman: He’s an angry, angry man.

“I think it’s a necessity, historically, in the tradition of these films,” he said. “For me, anger is so deeply buried and contained that when it does kind of come out, it comes out in stronger bursts.”

Affleck continued by describing his own relationship with anger, saying that he doesn’t have “a berserker Wolverine rage” inside of him, but he does have a tendency to let anger build and build until it boils over.

“I tend to be respectful, polite, get along, put up with, put up with, put up with… then, when it finally emerges, it’s not something I have a ton of control over,” he said. “By the way, that’s a character flaw, I think. I should sit down and say, ‘Listen, I just want to let ...

Just weeks after members EunB and Rise were killed in a tragic car crash, Korean pop group Ladies Code have released a tribute video to their late band mates.

EunBPolaris Entertainment

The four-minute clip cued to the emotional acoustic ballad “I’m Fine Thank You” focuses on behind-the-scenes clips of the group in the studio, meeting fans, performing, goofing off together, doing interviews and hanging out backstage. The tribute ends with EunB addressing fans while speaking to the camera as tears roll down her face.

The accident took place on September 2 on the way back from a gig when a wheel came off of the car they were traveling in and the vehicle spun out. EunB, 22, was killed in the crash, and Rise, 23, passed several days later of complications during surgery after suffering a head injury in the crash.

Here Is Why Trojan’s New Condom Survey Should Have Us All Worried

by 29 mins ago

In some areas of life, you don’t need a perfect batting average — not every grade you make will be an “A,” not every meal you cook will be edible, not every Facebook update you post will get likes. But when it comes to safe sex, there’s zero room for error: One careless decision could drastically impact your life.

Trojan recently surveyed 500 men and 500 women between 18 and 34, two-thirds of them single and a third in relationships, about their condom use and attitudes. Here’s what they found, including many areas for improvement…

Condoms are (far) more popular in theory than practice

simpsons condoms


While 81% of young adults said that condom use is important, only 35% reported always using them. That means 46% of people just like the idea of condoms, which is completely useless. Agreeing that condoms are important (without actual use) has never prevented a single STD or pregnancy in the history of STDs and pregnancies. Put your money where your mouth is! (No pun intended.)

Most couples don’t get tested before going condom-free

Of the people in relationships who don’t use condoms (62% of whom stopped using them within two months as a sign of “trust, commitment, and exclusivity”), 64% hadn’t been to a doctor or clinic to find out their sexual health status. You can only build up so much “trust” in a couple months, but you can’t lie your way out ...

It Looks Like Matt Damon Is Back For More ‘Bourne’

by 1 min ago

Matt Damon and Jason Bourne parted ways in 2007. Almost ten years later, the Oscar winner and his super-spy alter-ego could join forces again.

Deadline reports that Damon and his “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum” director Paul Greengrass are reuniting for their third “Bourne” collaboration, and the fifth movie in the “Bourne” franchise overall. Latino Review first reported the possible reunion in June.

According to Deadline’s update, the Damon-Greengrass return to “Bourne” will hit theaters as soon as July 15, 2016, the release date that currently belongs to the “Bourne Legacysequel, starring Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross. Like Bourne, Cross is a highly-trained spy, marked for death and forced on the run. His story took place in the same universe as the original “Bourne” trilogy, but veered off in a new direction to keep the Jason Bourne of it all in its own bubble.

Now, it sounds like Universal wants to get in on the “shared universe” idea that so many other studios are exploring — the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fox’s “X-Men” franchise, and Warner Bros.’ DC Comics properties, just to name a few. Deadline notes that while Universal wants Damon’s new “Bourne” in time for 2016, the studio still plans to follow up “Bourne Legacy” with another Aaron Cross adventure. Could these two threads collide in a big “Bourne” beatdown?

Until official confirmation from Universal, Damon and Greengrass comes down the line, keep your expectations in check — but ...

Kim Kardashian Says Kanye’s Australian Concert Was Ruined By ‘Lies In The Media’

by 20 mins ago

Kim Kardashian-West proved once again that she’s unequivocally Kanye West’s ride-or-die chick.

The reality superstar took to Instagram Monday (September 15) to post her thoughts about the Brisbane, Australia, stop of her hubby’s Yeezus Tour Sunday night, and insisted that fan-made videos on the ‘Net clear him of any wrongdoing in the wheelchair-bound fans incident. The Chicago rapper was accused of insensitivity for allegedly asking handicapped concertgoers to stand during his performance.

“What an amazing Australian tour! Its frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies in the media. Kanye never asked anyone in a wheel chair to stand up & the audience videos show that. He asked for everyone to stand up & dance UNLESS they were in a wheel chair. #JustWantedEveryoneToHaveAFunNight #TheMediaTwistsThings,” she wrote in the caption.

No matter what you think of the KimYe marriage, you can’t help but admire her willingness to stand by her man. And a fan-shot video of the incident seems to back up Kim’s account of what went down.

The “I Am a God” MC initially came under fire for asking everyone in the audience — including two wheelchair-bound fans — at his concert to stand up before he would continue performing “Good Life.” But he can be heard making an exception for the disabled fans in the footage.

“I can’t do the rest of this show until everybody stand up,” Kanye said. “And I’mma see you if you ain’t standing’ up … if he’s in a wheelchair then it’s fine ...

The Strange Mystery Of Rapper Tim Dog’s (Possibly Faked) Death Has Been Solved

by 19 mins ago

Sometimes, reality really is stranger than fiction. A judge in Mississippi issued an arrest warrant for Tim Dog last year, after DeSoto County, Mississippi, prosecutors charged that the rapper had faked his own death to avoid making court-mandated payments.

Well, turns out that the Bronx, New York, MC (born Timothy Blair) really was deceased. According to NBC’s Dateline, Blair died on February 14, 2013, at Hospice Atlanta and his death records were filed in Dekalb County, Georgia. Prosecutors had cited the lack of a death certificate in their case.

“I need proof. I need a death certificate showing that he’s dead, because as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive,” Steven Jubera told Memphis news channel 3 WREG in May 2013. “Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary.”

But the rapper couldn’t afford his own funeral, so the county paid for him to be cremated.

Blair’s death certificate was obtained by Dateline from the Dekalb County Board of Health.

A DeSoto County judge issued the warrant for Blair last May because there was no record of Blair’s death certificate in Fairburn, Georgia, nor Decatur, Georgia, where the “F—k Compton” MC was believed to have lived.

Tim Dog is probably best known for his role in an infamous rap battle with West Coast rivals Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. His dis record, “F–k Compton,” was aimed at the members of N.W.A. Dre and Snoop clapped back at the Bronx ...

Watch Wendy Williams Literally Eat Crow For Doubting Kim And Kanye’s Marriage

by 20 mins ago

Normally, when someone says that they’ll “eat crow,” it just means that they’ll show some humility and openly admit to being wrong about something they said.

Not Wendy Williams. The talk show host literally ate some crow live in front of her studio audience Monday (September 15) because Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s marriage made it past 72 days and is still going strong.

Dressed in a crow bib, Williams sat down at the dinner table on stage and dug into the crow gumbo, which was prepared by a gourmet chef, with a fork and a glass of Napa pinot noir.

“I can taste the iron in it,” she said, while chewing the black bird meat laboriously. “Well, they say that a crow has more iron than anything and it tastes kind of like chicken liver. You know it’s not so bad and I forgot to use the hot sauce. There you go, I’m a woman of my word.”

Her word, was a promise to eat crow if KimYe’s marriage lasted longer than 72 days. That number has significance because that’s how long the reality star was married to her previous husband, Kris Humphries.

Despite eating a heaping helping of crow, Williams may not have learned her lesson — at least when it comes to Kim and Kanye. “Just cause they’re still married doesn’t mean they’re happy,” she said, while still chewing crow. “We’re watching you for the next 73 days Kardashian West.”
