All the Ladies Who Have Been Romanced by Brad Pitt
Before Brad Pitt's divorce from Angelina Jolie, the father of six seemed to have left his past as one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors behind him. Throughout the late '80s and '90s, Brad pretty much changed his girlfriend as often as he changed his famous hair and was linked to nearly all of his famous costars. Whether or not Brad actually had a serious relationship with these leading ladies is something only he could tell you, but regardless, take a look inside the Allied actor's little black book to see who has been lucky enough to have (supposedly) fallen under his spell.

Get Ready For a Whole New Season of Cookie Lyon's Killer Style
We loved Cookie Lyon's over-the-top fashion before we even saw Taraji P. Henson bring her to life on the screen or knew that Empire would quickly become the highest-rated new series on television when it debuted last year. Now heading into its third season, we're following the fashion as avidly as we're following the drama of the Lyon clan, living for Cookie's spunk and unstoppable style.
As bold-faced and unapologetic as she is, Cookie's look is fantasy-inducing and fabulous, making Henson one of the best dressed women on television. See the proof and gather some inspiration from what just might be the most stylish show since Gossip Girl as we gear up for the season premiere.
Are Fitness Trackers Secretly Sabotaging Your Weight-Loss Goals?
A recent study has found wearable fitness trackers might actually be undermining health and weight-loss goals. Researchers from the Physical Activity and Weight Management Research Center published a study in The Journal of the American Medical Association about the effectiveness of fitness trackers for long-term weight loss. Their findings came as a surprise to both the researchers and, now, the internet.
The study looked at 500 overweight men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 over the course of two years. For the first six months, the subjects were instructed to follow the same low-calorie diet and moderate exercise plan. All of the subjects subsequently lost weight.
The next phase of the study asked half of the subjects to track their daily physical activity online, and the other half were to use a fitness tracker. Unexpectedly, those who wore the fitness tracker were less active and lost fewer pounds.
One researcher, Dr. John Jakicic, told The New York Times they were initially confident that those who wore the fitness trackers would exercise more. Instead, the subjects who logged their activity online lost, on average, 13 pounds, and the others lost about eight pounds. "We were definitely surprised," he added.
Though the researchers cited multiple explanations, Dr. Jakicic thinks it's possible that those wearing the trackers felt discouraged by their large exercise goals and would give up during their workouts since they were seeing their results in real time. It's also possible that the technology became the focus of their workouts, as opposed to reaching a personal limit of exertion and effort. "People may have focused on the technology and forgotten to focus on their behaviors," Dr. Jakicic said.
While we've found fitness trackers to be effective, they can be counterproductive for those who feel disappointed by their results and thereby give up altogether. If anything, this study serves as a reminder to be honest about the positive or negative effect trackers may have on your personal goals.

Anthony Bourdain Is Ready For the Pumpkin Spice Trend to End
We're LIVE on @Reddit for an AMA with the host of #RawCraft, @Bourdain. Ask him anything: https://t.co/pw4D5M0Ned http://pic.twitter.com/mvPBTgBKk8
- The Balvenie US (@BalvenieUS) September 20, 2016
Anthony Bourdain is a chef, actor, author, and undeniably a "food god," but he is not here for the pumpkin spice trend. In a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), the 60-year-old culinary connoisseur was asked what food trend he'd like to see die quickly, and his response was nothing short of hilarious. He confessed that he'd "like to see the pumpkin spice craze drowned in its own blood."
HA. His feelings are totally understandable given the fact that pumpkin spice season essentially started in July this year, and it's not slowing down any time soon. Sorry, Bourdain!
Catch up on his other responses to the full AMA here, and then read these fascinating facts that will make you love Anthony Bourdain even more.
Forget Being a Tall Glass of Water, Colin Firth Is Our Cup of Tea
There are plenty of lovable English actors in Hollywood, but there's just something about Colin Firth that makes him extra dreamy. The 56-year-old first stole our hearts when he played Mr. Darcy in the BBC series Pride and Prejudice, and our obsession only intensified when he starred in movies like Bridget Jones's Diary, Love Actually, and Mamma Mia!. Aside from being a critically acclaimed actor, Colin is also a devoted husband. He's been married to his wife, Livia Giuggioli, since 1997, and together they have two sons, Luca, 15, and Matteo, 13. Colin is also father to son Will, 26, with ex Meg Tilly. If you can't get enough of him as his beloved character Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones's Baby, look back at his best moments over the years.

Jenna Lyons Just Revealed Her Favorite Piece From J.Crew's Spring Collection
Who better to debut our favorite Spring 2017 pieces than the designers themselves? That's exactly what happened when Rosie Assoulin and J.Crew's Jenna Lyons hit up the Fall ballet gala in New York City on Tuesday night. Both women, who recently debuted their new lines at New York Fashion Week, showed us exactly how it's done.
Jenna chose the khaki-colored ruffled wrap skirt that had everyone talking, pairing it with a matching blouse that she left unbuttoned. Meanwhile, Rosie's rainbow striped shirt dress might have been the most popular look to Instagram from her presentation.
While there were plenty of other stars on the red carpet, like Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Kruger, the fashion girl in us was particularly excited to see how two very iconic designers forecast the season ahead. Read on to see why we can't wait to style these standout pieces just like Jenna and Rosie did, and check out the original outfits on the models.
America Ferrera Just Revealed What's Special About Her Superstore Character, Amy
Mere days after a jaw-dropping appearance at the Emmys, America Ferrera traded her glitzy red carpet dress for a fiery red number on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The Superstore actress, who just completed her first triathlon, opened up to the show's host about her recent physical feats and what her role on the hit NBC show means to her as a Latina actress.
"It was the first time I was asked to do a role that wasn't specifically for a Latina," she told Stephen. "Every other role that I had been offered had been specified . . . this was the first time I read a script that said, 'Amy, 30, no ethnicity.' And that seems like not that big of a deal, but in television and film, if ethnicity isn't specified, then the assumption - and the default, in most cases - is white. And you have to give a reason for that role to be something other than that."
Press play above to watch her elaborate even more on the groundbreaking part the writers played in casting such a diverse group of actors. Then, remember that amazing time she and Eva Longoria called out Hollywood's lack of diversity at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.
Enraged Cafeteria Worker Quits After Being Forced to Take Away Hot Lunch From Students
Cafeteria worker Stacy Koltiska was so enraged by her Pennsylvania elementary school's lunch policy that she resigned. She was forced to take a hot lunch away from a first grade student because he had an outstanding balance of more than $25 in his lunch account, so now she is using her voice to spread her story through a viral Facebook post.
"This year Canon Mac implemented a new Rule 808.1. This rule states that any child who has a balance of $25 or more will not receive a lunch if they are in Grades 7 through 12. State law requires that children K through 6 must be given a lunch. In Rule 808.1 it says that children in K through 6 will be provided a "Sandwich." What you don't know is that they are being given One Piece of Cheese on Bread. This isn't even being toasted. Yet they are still being charged the FULL PRICE of a HOT LUNCH that is being DENIED to them."
Koltiska was completely disgusted by her school's policy, and after two incidents of having to take hot lunch away from students, she decided to resign.
"The first week of school on Friday, I had to take a little first grade boy's chicken and give him this "cheese sandwich." I will never forget the look on his face and then his eyes welled up with tears. I was going to resign on Monday but my mother passed away on Sunday so I forgot about it until yesterday when it happened again. I had the same sick feeling so today I resigned. What makes this even MORE SICKENING is that we throw so much food away EVERYDAY. So Our Children are being served cheese, being charged and denied the hot food that we then throw away."
Koltiska has parents and fellow district members riled up, and she is doing whatever it takes to spread her message. What would you do if your child had his or her lunch taken away like the students in this Pennsylvania school?

Princess Maria-Olympia Matching Her Royal Pup Will Make Your Whole Doggone Day
Princess Maria-Olympia may be a fashion-forward royal with a blogger-like feed, but the girl still knows how to kick back and get casual. The style star was spotted out in New York on Tuesday, wearing a simple outfit that consisted of distressed jeans and black booties, which she then topped off with a solid cami - aka the most basic staple of them all.
Yet while her easy, early-Fall ensemble caught our eye, it was the fact that the look matched Maria-Olympia's dog's leash that truly made our day. The accessory's green trim paired perfectly with her olive top, and the pup looked quite thrilled to be coordinating with their owner.
Scroll through for more pics of the princess and her pet, then shop the pieces you need to nail this casual and royal-approved outfit.
After Her Husband and Son Were Tragically Killed, This Woman Wants You to See What Drunk Driving Can Do
Kristian Guerrero's story is the type that makes you instantly well up with tears, hug your babies tight, and ask yourself, "Why did this have to happen?" The short answer in Kristian's case, is that someone decided they were OK to drive after drinking, and now the grieving wife and mother is paying the price for that person's thoughtless act.
On Aug. 2, Kristian, who was five months pregnant with a little boy, was driving with her husband, Fabian, when they were struck head on by a drunk driver. Fabian and the couple's unborn son were both killed, and after 24 hours of an induced labor, Kristian was finally able to hold her baby boy. She shared a raw photo of this heart-wrenching moment to Facebook alongside a photo of the crash and a post urging readers to never drink and drive.
This is what being in an induced labor for almost 24 hrs after surviving a car crash that killed my husband and my son looks like. All because someone thought it was OK to get wasted and drive. It's not OK.
It IS OK to stop a friend from driving, it IS OK to take someone's keys away from them when they're showing signs of being drunk. And it IS OK to pick up the phone and call for a ride if you find yourself feeling a little too tipsy. It's not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of maturity to be honest with yourself and know the consequences of driving drunk outweigh any kind of shame you might feel admitting you're too drunk to drive. What's not OK is spending the rest of your life with the guilt of knowing you've taken someone's life away before they even got a chance to be in this world. It's not worth it. Don't drink and drive.
Kristian believes she survived the crash for a reason and through her grief is using her story to help others. "I will continue to spread awareness and share this story until the day I die in hopes it prevents anyone else from feeling the pain I walk around with every day," she wrote. "I refuse to let my husband and my sons deaths be in vain."
28 Times You Wished You Were as Cool as Bill Murray
There's a reason the world loves Bill Murray. He's talented, he's funny, and he's been making us laugh for decades. (Literally, decades.)

In honor of his birthday this week, we're looking at 28 GIFs that prove that Bill Murray is just naturally cooler than any of us can ever hope to be.
Arrested Development: Jeffrey Tambor Just Confirmed Season 5!
Arrested Development fans are used to uncertainty. The show was constantly on the chopping block, finally canceled after season three in 2006, revived by Netflix for a fourth season, then everyone seemed to be confused about if a fifth season would happen. At one point, a movie was supposedly in the works. On Wednesday, patriarch of the Bluth family Jeffrey Tabor (maybe accidentally) revealed on the Today show that his production schedule for season five begins in January: "There's always chatter," he said. "My marching orders are to go to work [in] January." It's happening, people!
Michael Strahan Is Disappointed That He Was "Painted as the Bad Guy" in the Kelly Ripa Feud
It's been a few months since Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa's feud rocked the Live! set, but the Good Morning America cohost is giving his side of the story in the latest issue of People. After "blindsiding" his costar with his sudden exit from the show, the 44-year-old opened up about his unfair portrayal in the media. "The most disappointing thing to me was that I was painted as the bad guy, because I value the way I carry myself," he told the magazine. "I don't want people to see me as 'Oh, he just ran out, just left them there.' That's just not true."
Following Michael's announcement, Kelly decided to take a few days off, but their working relationship wasn't exactly easy upon her return. "I wasn't surprised by her reaction at all, but I can't control somebody else's actions," he said. "I was there four years, and it's about more than just being in front of the camera." As far as their friendship goes, Michael admits he isn't really sure where they stand. "At one point I think we were friends. I don't know what happened at the end. I learned a lot from her, though."

If You Grew Up in the '00s, These School Memories Will Be TOO Real
No matter how old you are, the Fall season is defined by the back-to-school feels.

The good news is that we all went through it together, so you're not alone - we loved that stuff too! Cringe and giggle through some of those memories ahead that will pull on your nostalgia strings, and maybe convince you to hop on eBay to see if you can bring any of those good ol' days back.

How Breastfeeding Literally Saved This Suicidal Mom's Life
Breastfeeding has countless benefits, but for one mom who suffered from intense postpartum depression, it served a vitally important role not often listed as a positive side effect.
It, quite literally, saved her life.
"When my son was two months old, I got severely ill with postpartum depression – so bad that I had a suicide plan and for 10 months straight I had to make the choice to live another day," a woman wrote in a revealing Facebook post on the popular Breastfeeding Mama Talk page. "My son is breastfed and no matter how hard I tried he would refuse to drink from a bottle. So each day I had to choose life just so that my son could be fed."
Fast-forward almost a year, and both mom and baby are healthy.
"Now he is 13 months old . . . still breastfeeding," she said. "I am recovered from the postpartum depression and so grateful for my life now. I know that if my son would have taken a bottle, I would be dead now. I truly believe that breastfeeding my son is the reason I am alive today."
This Is Us: What the Rest of the Show Will Look Like After That Big Twist
We've been excited about This Is Us ever since the trailer was released and we preemptively cried about all the characters we'd barely met. The show premiered on Tuesday night, and lest you think it's a show about a bunch of random people with the same birthdays, you'd be wrong. A game-changing twist comes at the end, revealing that Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore)'s storyline is happening in 1980s. Surprise! They're the biological parents of twins Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (Justin Hartley) and the adoptive parents of Randall (Sterling K. Brown), who we're seeing in the modern day. It's pretty shocking stuff, and it's going to make a big impact on how the rest of the season will play out. Here's what we know about the upcoming episodes:
- There's a major time-jump in the second episode. While the pilot takes place in 1980 and 2016, episode two starts in 1988, when the kids are eight years old. Then episode three jumps back to 1980, on the day Jack and Rebecca bring home their kids. According to creator Dan Fogelman, the parents won't look remarkably different: "In terms of aging Milo and Mandy, it's really subtle stuff when you really analyze it. It's not like from 36 to 42 years old we become unrecognizably different people. Our hairstyles change, we age a little bit."
- We'll still be seeing a lot in the modern day. Fogelman confirmed that we'll still be getting plenty of the 2016 storylines: "The structure of the show is very similar in the coming weeks in that it's interconnected stories. We have four main stories as our main storylines. We'll be cutting back and forth between those the same way that we do in the pilot."
- You should keep the tissues handy. If you were a mess after the first episode, you may want to reevaluate watching this show. Fogelman also spoke about how the goal of the show is "the good cry . . . Our show has characters that are flawed and who do stupid things but they mean well and they're trying to be better at the end of the day. That's maybe an experience we can all relate to. That's the human experience. We step in it over and over again but we keep trying to do better the next day and that's where the emotion will come from."
Kristen Bell Made 1 Not-So-Glamorous Move to Get Into Her Emmys Dress
When Kristen Bell hit the red carpet at the 2016 Emmys, her Zuhair Murad dress was instantly one of our favorites. The gown was right on trend with the night's looks, and Kristen wore it with confidence. Though she looked amazing, the actress admitted that getting ready was not so glamorous.
She shared a hilarious BTS moment on Instagram from Emmys night, writing, "When you need a non surgical boob lift to perfectly fit into you emmys dresss . . ." The funny 'gram revealed the reality of getting red carpet ready, which Kristen documented further in an earlier selfie snap. While we're LOL-ing over her transparent fashion advice, we're also taking notes to steal this styling hack for ourselves. Time to add surgical tape to our Fall shopping list.

Apple's New macOS Sierra Has Some New Features You're Going to Love
Your MacBook products are about to change and get a whole new refresh. Apple revealed some updates to the OS X system at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference - including a name change. Though it's not as exciting a change as El Capitan, some new features are coming. See what the updates to the new macOS Sierra are ahead:
- A new name: The operating system is dropping the X and will now be called macOS to join the other operating systems: iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
- Siri becomes the assistant you've always wanted: You can finally talk to Siri on your computer, and you can do it without touching anything. Just say "Hey Siri" and you're good to go.
- Using your computer becomes faster: If you're wearing an Apple Watch, your MacBook will automatically unlock when you're nearby and won't require a password anymore.
- iCloud syncing gets smarter: Ever move something to your desktop? You can now access that across all your devices.
- Copy and paste gets simplified: With Universal Clipboard, you can copy something on your iPhone and paste it onto your Mac, images, video, and more.
- Apple Pay is now available on the web: Now when you're shopping, you can select a "Buy With Apple Pay" button and continue the transaction with either your iPhone or Apple Watch and Touch ID.
- Picture in picture comes to macOS Sierra: Just hit the picture in picture button and you can keep watching your video.
You can download macOS Sierra starting Sept. 20. Ahead, check out photos of some of the features.

The Seemingly Good Habit That Causes You to Eat an Extra 500 Calories Daily
Anyone who's ever been part of the Clean Plate Club probably has suspected this, but a new, large study from the UK confirms it: we eat far more calories than we need when served food on large plates and with large utensils.
The study, conducted by the University of Cambridge, reviewed results from 61 studies and 6,700 participants and found that people consistently consume more food and drinks when offered larger portions, either when in packages or on plates, than when offered smaller-sized portions. Just the size of your plate can lead to eating about 527 more calories per day in the US and 279 calories in the UK, the researchers found.
"Our findings highlight the important role of environmental influences on food consumption," said co-lead author Dr. Gareth Hollands. "Helping people to avoid 'overserving' themselves or others with larger portions of food or drink by reducing their size, availability and appeal in shops, restaurants and in the home, is likely to be a good way of helping lots of people to reduce their risk of overeating."
The researchers say just small changes like changing the type of glasses, cutlery, and tableware used for serving, repackaging products so serving sizes are more clearly demarcated, or placing food further away from purchasers to make them less accessible could all help reduce overconsumption by as much as 16 percent in the UK and 29 percent in the US. While food manufacturers are unlikely to take steps to discourage you to buy their products, you can take matters into your own hands at home. When serving food, use salad plates instead of large dinner plates, measure out servings instead of eyeballing it, and use smaller utensils to eat (if you need help, these portion-control products make figuring out serving sizes easy for anyone). Not only is cooking for yourself healthier than eating out, but you also might just save over 500 calories a day - the equivalent of a pound a week!
