These Extraordinary Underwater Maternity Photos Redefine Pregnancy Pictures
There's no shortage of options when it comes to maternity photos, but in the end, they all pretty much look the same - pregnant woman cradling her burgeoning belly (sometimes clothed, often not) with a knowing look in her eye. But sometimes a photographer and his subject take it one step further - and one step wetter.
We've seen underwater maternity photos before - Beyoncé just released her maternity photos, which include a few underwater snaps - but nothing prepared us for the beauty and artistry of Adam Opris's portraits. The Palm Beach, FL-based photographer told us:
"I grew up in South Florida in the ocean, and being in the water has always been second nature for me. As my wedding photography business progressed, I always loved how the brides that I captured came to me for their maternity pictures after they got pregnant. I am always looking to push the envelope with my photography, and when I saw underwater photos from around the world, I realized that I could bring clients into this underwater world. After a few test shoots, I realized that the options underwater are limitless."
Opris went on to test those limits with some of the most stunning maternity photos we've ever seen. Read on to see them, and get the story behind the process.

John Krasinski Had an Important Message For Women at the SAG Awards
John Krasinski looked too sweet with his wife Emily Blunt at the SAG Awards, but it was his speech during the ceremony that really made us swoon. While presenting the award for outstanding female actor in a supporting role, the actor gave a sweet shout-out to women everywhere in light of the Women's March. "As a father, and as a husband and as a human being, I am inspired by women every day," he told the crowd. He certainly wasn't the only celebrity to take a political stand during the show. Not only did Ashton Kutcher unapologetically call out Donald Trump's immigration ban, but Stranger Things' David Harbour dedicated his entire speech to acceptance and unity.
The Dictionary Is Throwing Major Shade at Donald Trump's Administration on Social Media
Image Source: Getty / Joey Foley
Since Donald Trump took office, the social media world is continuing to have a field day with the actions of his administration members. We thought it didn't get much more entertaining than those memes about Sean Spicer's press conference lies, but an unlikely suspect just proved us wrong.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary is serving up a hefty dose of shade on Twitter in regards to Trump, and it's downright hilarious. The account holders have been subtly taunting the POTUS and his team for their tendency to misuse certain words, and people can't get enough of the disses.
It all started with Betsy DeVos, Trump's education secretary and her tweet. DeVos tweeted a photo on Jan. 20 saying that she was "honored to witness the historical inauguration," and internet users took it upon themselves to point out her grammatical error. She quickly deleted the original tweet and fired off a corrected version using "historic" instead of "historical."
Honored to witness the historic Inauguration and swearing-in ceremony for the 45th President of the United States! http://pic.twitter.com/jjWEgMTSov
- Betsy DeVos (@BetsyDeVos) January 20, 2017
Apologies for the earlier error, everyone. Proof our staff members are only human! :)
- Betsy DeVos (@BetsyDeVos) January 20, 2017
But Merriam-Webster wasn't ready to let her off the hook that easily, as a subtle jab commenced.
'Historic' and 'historical' have subtly different meanings. https://t.co/2Pew5BZPXI
- Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 21, 2017
But the dictionary's shade didn't stop there. Allow us to remind you of when Trump's adviser, Kellyanne Conway, infamously referred to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's press conference lies as mere "alternative facts." Following the resulting meme storm that took over social media, the dictionary couldn't help but get in on the action - but in a classy, literary way, naturally. The clever genius behind the account simply reminded its followers what a fact really is.
📈A fact is a piece of information presented as having objective reality. https://t.co/gCKRZZm23c
- Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 22, 2017
And it gave one more sassy burn for good measure.
*whispers into the void* In contemporary use, fact is understood to refer to something with actual existence. https://t.co/gCKRZZm23c
- Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 24, 2017
Last but certainly not least came the buzz surrounding the fact that Trump reportedly filled the room of his press conference with paid staffers to elicit ample cheers and claps. Merriam-Webster has a term for that . . .
📈A 'claque' is a group hired to applaud. https://t.co/EX96vGLGDz
- Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 24, 2017
People are loving how the dictionary's Twitter account is totally calling out Trump and his team, and we're all secretly hoping this trend continues into his presidency because it's pretty darn entertaining.
Donald Trump is getting dunked on by THE DICTIONARY. https://t.co/RzKSTHT7Zn

The Story Behind 1 Little Boy's "Free Toy Stand" Is Too Sweet to Miss
When Melissa Work's 6-year-old boy walked into her room after he was supposed to be in bed the Florida mom tried to keep calm. The child wanted to talk, so instead of getting frustrated, she kept in mind the mantra of "If you don't listen to the little things, they'll never tell you the big things." Blake crawled into bed and they chatted for a few minutes before Melissa mentioned that he needed to clean his room in the morning.
According to Melissa, Blake responded, "Ugh, Mom. But that's a lot of mess. That's a lot of toys to pick up."
"I then explained to him that all of those toys were blessings. That there were many kids out there who didn't have that many toys and some had none," Melissa wrote on Bored Panda. "His face dropped; it hit him and that really hurt his heart. He told me that hurt his 'heartbeat' and then says, 'Wait. I have an idea.'"
Blake suggested creating something like a lemonade stand where he can give away his toys to kids in need. "I told him we would discuss it in the morning, but that I loved his huge heart" Melissa explained. As soon as Blake woke up the next morning, the child was ready to get to work and insisted that Melissa help - before she even had a chance to pour a cup of coffee.
When Melissa told Blake that the first step was to gather toys that he was willing to part with, she learned that this was already taken care of. "There in the kitchen were eight of his toys and a few books. Some were his favorite toys," Melissa wrote. "I walked out there, looked at them and my eyes watered. He really wanted to do this. It was the first thing on his heart that morning."
Although they live in an older community with no kids or traffic, Melissa didn't have the heart to tell Blake that people most likely weren't going to stop by. Instead, she helped him get to work on the sign. "I asked him what he wanted it to say and with the biggest smile, he told me, 'Cheer up kids!!! Come to Blake Work's house! We have free toys for you!!'" Melissa wrote. "He was smiling from ear to ear and it meant everything to him. As he drew the little hearts, I knew that his heart truly was just exploding to do this."
They set up the stand in their driveway and when nobody showed up, Blake asked his mom to "text all kids" as her heart broke over his disappointment. Melissa desperately posted on Facebook and after six hours of refusing to leave his post, Blake had given away all of his prized positions.
This is Blake. This is his heart. He's a humanitarian. He hurts deeply when others hurt. He's the first to give and the last to take. He will make sure everyone else in the room has what he was just given. It's just simply, him. He thanks me for cleaning the house. Begs his Gigi and Papa to bring along his little sister on a date that he has earned with good behavior, just so she is not left out. He will open the door for you and wish you a good day. He's just something special. We teach him that kindness can make a difference. That it can change the world. That we should love one another, care for one another, and be kind to one another. That day I cried more tears than I have in a long time. He convicted me. He inspired me. He made us proud. This day was just another day for him, it just happened to have gotten more attention.
Ashton Kutcher Unapologetically Calls Out Trump's Immigration Ban
#sagawards http://pic.twitter.com/3BGDGa0FLC
- SAG Awards® (@SAGawards) January 30, 2017
Things naturally got political at the SAG Awards. In light of Donald Trump's recent immigration ban, Ashton Kutcher kicked off the ceremony on Sunday by welcoming "everyone in airports that belong in my America." Not only was his jab met with a rupture of applause from the crowd, but he even took it one step further by adding that immigrants are "part of the fabric of who we are." The president's recent executive order certainly hits close to home for the actor as his wife, Mila Kunis, came to the United States as a refugee when she was only 7 years old, which he pointed out in a heated Twitter rant ahead of the award show.
My wife came to this country on a refugee visa in the middle of the Cold War! My blood is boiling right now!

Britt Robertson LOVES Dr. Phil, and More Tidbits From The Space Between Us Set
Britt Robertson and Asa Butterfield come from two different worlds - at least they do in the new movie The Space Between Us. Coming out on Friday, the sci-fi romance tells the tale of Tulsa (Robertson) and Gardner (Butterfield), teens who begin a friendship online. What Tulsa doesn't know is that Gardner is from Mars. (Now is the time for any "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus" jokes you want to toss out.) We visited the film's Albuquerque set back in October 2015 and chatted with the down-to-Earth actors . . . see what I did there? Because it's a movie about space. Here's what we learned from the budding* superstars!
- Robertson loves Dr. Phil: "Today I watched a really crazy episode of Dr. Phil that I recorded yesterday. It was about the Subway guy, Jared, and the tapes. They play all the recordings of when he was speaking to this woman who was recording it for the FBI. And listening to these tapes was fascinating. Anyway, so that's what I've been doing, getting super depressed and freaked out . . . It's always really fascinating stories. I think as an actor you're constantly observing human behavior and that show is just so good for the actor's mind I guess. You wouldn't meet these people otherwise, that are going through these crazy circumstances. So it's like news, but better."
- Meanwhile, Butterfield passes the time on set by playing Super Smash Bros.: "I play Pikachu most of the time," he said. "It's one of the best. That's my in-between-scenes entertainment."
- He's also into a ton of bands you've never heard of: "I listen to a lot of hip-hop and reggae dance music. Garage, jungle, drum and bass. Have you heard of Gramatik?" (Nope.) "Flying Lotus, J Dilla are cool."
- She still counts Life Unexpected as her favorite experience: "I saw Shiri [Appleby] a couple weeks before I came out here," she said, of her former costar. "She has a baby now so I went and hung out with her, and she's pregnant with her second one so it's good to see her. And Liz [Tigelaar], the creator, she has a baby now too. So lots of babies! And lots of hangout time."
- They had to avoid each other before they could meet: "The first time I met Asa was when I came in for rehearsals early on," said Robertson. "We got to the later part of the day and they were like, 'Oh, Asa's arriving,' and I was gonna go back to my trailer and they were like, 'No, you can't go back to your trailer because Peter, the director, really wants to introduce you two.' So the first part of him being on set was us avoiding one another so that Peter could introduce us, which was a little anti-climactic because he's just a person and I'm a person and we said 'hi' and shook hands and then I was like, 'How's it going?' and he was like, 'good.'"
- The movie is right up his alley: "I'm a big science-fiction fan," he said. "I think what's great about sci-fi is that everything that you sort of see, it all comes from technology that we already have, but just it's far more advanced. So they are almost giving glimpses into our future, whereas fantasy is totally, totally made up. But this is almost believable, which I think is pretty cool."
*Butterfield's upcoming projects include a WWI drama with Sam Claflin, Departures with Nina Dobrev and Maisie Williams, and The House of Tomorrow. Robertson is starring in A Dog's Purpose and the upcoming Netflix comedy series Girlboss.
The Story Behind This Mom's Tattoo For Her Late Daughter Will Bring You to Tears
Today is my daughter, Isabells birthday. She would have been 16. She wrote this for me along with a poem when she was 10. Happy Birthday Isabell.
It's a simple, handwritten tattoo that reads, "I love you, Mom!" but the story behind it will bring you to tears. Imgur user 1919roland, mother to Isabell, shared the photo of her new tattoo to the image-sharing platform to honor her late daughter on what would have been her 16th birthday.
"Today is my daughter, Isabell's birthday," the mom captioned the photo. "She would have been 16. She wrote this for me along with a poem when she was 10. Happy Birthday, Isabell."
The heartbroken mother shared in the comments that Isabell suffered from depression and anxiety her entire life and unfortunately took her own life on Nov. 12, 2016. "She wasn't ashamed of who she was and neither am I," Isabell's mom wrote in a comment. "She took her life after years of struggling and is now free of all of it. She was the most loving and caring person I have ever had the honor of knowing. She will be missed by many."
If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, head to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for help and resources.

Charlie Hunnam Looks Fiercely Sexy in The Lost City of Z Trailer
Get ready, Charlie Hunnam fans, because he and Robert Pattinson will make you swoon in the brand-new trailer for The Lost City of Z. Sporting some serious facial hair, the pair star in the upcoming movie based on David Grann's 2009 bestseller of the same name. In it, Charlie plays Percy Fawcett, a British explorer who (true story) disappeared in the 1920s when he made his way into the Amazon jungle hoping to find civilization. Sienna Miller also stars in the film, which includes Brad Pitt among the producers. Watch the latest trailer above (and the original trailer below), then get more details on The Lost City of Z and check out photos from the set. The movie will be out in April!
Jennifer Lopez on Body Confidence: "I Never Appreciated My Looks When I Was in My 20s"
It's hard to believe this sentence came out of Jennifer Lopez's mouth: "I never appreciated my body or my looks when I was in my 20s." You would think that a woman who has rocked some of the sexiest outfits we've ever seen would be 100 percent confident, but we're all human, even J Lo, which is why it's so refreshing to read her words on W magazine's March 2017 issue.
The actress, singer, producer, shoe designer, and now World of Dance judge shares the cover with Kate Moss, Jessica Chastain, Donatella Versace, and Taraji P. Henson. In the interview, she opens up about growing more comfortable with her body as the years go by, saying, "Now I'm like, 'look at me!'" Oh, J Lo, we are totally looking. Scroll ahead for more must-read quotes from the piece and to see the gorgeous cover.
- On taking risks: "I think living and pushing outside your comfort zone is the only way to be happy, ultimately. In the middle of it, risk is uncomfortable. But to me, there's something super exciting about that. It's probably the way I'm wired. Most people don't like it, but I'm like, 'Yeah! Let's do more, let's take more, let's see more . . .' Then I'm in it and, like, 'Wow, this is a lot.'"
- On her 8-year-old twins, Emme and Max: "They have their own little lives. I'd love to walk around with them and watch what he notices and she notices, who they talk to, what they're like. What makes them smile, what makes them laugh. Everything I do has to be rushed, because there's a limited amount of time I can be out before things get crazy."
- On being more confident than ever: "Men in their 20s are very confident and cocky, and women are super insecure. And then it flips: Men get super insecure, and women get comfortable in their own skin, in a way that makes them more beautiful. I never appreciated my body or my looks when I was in my 20s. Now I'm like, 'look at me! Look at you!' Not in a conceited or arrogant way - I just appreciate myself in a way I didn't when I was that age. And it's not about perfection. I like the scars that I have."
There Was No Stranger Thing Than Winona Ryder's Reaction to Her Big SAG Award Win
The cast of Stranger Things were already having an absolute blast at the SAG Awards on Sunday night, and their excitement kicked into overdrive when it was announced they were the lucky (and incredibly deserving) winners of the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.
Although everyone was hyped about the big win, leading lady Winona Ryder - who was nominated for best actress for her work in the Netflix hit - looked especially overwhelmed (and bewildered?). From the second the cast made their way up to the stage all the way through costar David Harbour's passionate speech, she could barely handle her emotions. In other words, Winona just gave us all the reaction GIFs we'll ever need.
Jamie Dornan's Party Trick Is Just as Impressive as It Is Sexy
Jamie Dornan worked up a real sweat during his appearance on Conan on Wednesday night. While promoting Fifty Shades Darker, the actor explained how his cool party trick actually ended up becoming a part of Christian Grey's workout regimen. And being the gracious man that he is, he decided to give the audience a little sneak peek by turning the host's desk into a pommel horse. Aside from showing off his flexibility (and protruding biceps), he actually ended up pulling a pec in the process. Just goes to show that Jamie can make any mundane activity look incredibly hot.
Melissa McCarthy Is the Hero We Need in This Viral Super Bowl Ad
Melissa McCarthy has come to the small screen! . . . In the form of a commerical to air during the Super Bowl, anyway. The actress is the star of Kia's new spot, and she plays a hero, over and over and over. Truth be told, the woman must be exhausted. Take a look!
This Little Girl Attempted a Hair Tutorial and What Happened Next Will Crack You Up
Moms have this natural ability to make everything they do look so easy! Whether it's cleaning the entire house and having breakfast ready by the time the kids wake up or spending a full day in the office and never missing an elementary school pick-up, moms just appear to have it all together. Now, after a failed try of her own, this adorable 5-year-old girl realized that doing her hair isn't as easy as her mom makes it look.
When Ryleigh Lynne told her mom she wanted to make a hair tutorial, she soon found out how hard her mom works. Ryleigh's mom, Tara Watkins, posted the video on Facebook, where we see Ryleigh trying to fit her all of her hair into a ponytail to do it "like mommy does." Ryleigh soon discovers that she has "way too much hair" and adorably gives up on her ponytail dreams to do something a little more simple.
"Hair tutorial gone WRONG!!! My baby tried though. She said she has too much hair." Tara captioned the video. It's true! Watch the video above and if you have a daughter (or just a lot of hair!) you can totally relate to this hilarious moment.
This Onion Is on a Mission to Get More Twitter Followers Than Donald Trump
Regardless of your political affiliation, there's no denying that Donald Trump is wildly popular on Twitter. His often controversial tweets have garnered him more than 21.8 million followers on his personal account, realDonaldTrump. Plus, after his inauguration, he officially took over the POTUS account, which has 14.3 million followers. That double whammy makes for quite the staggering social media presence, but one Twitter user is here to challenge that, and it comes in quite the unexpected form.
The account HalfOnionInaBag was created on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, with a simple yet wildly entertaining goal in mind: Get more Twitter followers than Donald Trump.
What if this account that is simply half an onion in a Ziploc bag ended up with more followers than @realDonaldTrump? http://pic.twitter.com/D28lODPZLO
- Half An Onion (@HalfOnionInABag) January 20, 2017
Bet that would drive him crazy.
- Half An Onion (@HalfOnionInABag) January 20, 2017
Though this is quite the lofty objective, the humorous account is already well on its way, having gained more than 213,000 followers in just a few days. The anonymous genius behind the account explained that the idea was spurred from sheer frustration with the presidential election. "I very stupidly turned on my TV on Inauguration Day and was, well . . . disgusted, I guess is the best word," he told POPSUGAR in a Twitter direct message. "I wanted to make a statement of some sort then and there and decided, why not do it on Trump's favorite platform?"
It started with one simple trip to the refrigerator. "I looked around my home to try to find the most random item I could put head to head with Trump, and when I opened my fridge and saw that pathetic half onion in a bag (that I since have been told multiple times was cut wrong, making it even more pathetic), I knew I had a winner," said the creator. And so a sliced vegetable encased in a plastic bag started its journey to social media stardom.
The entertaining account has since started trolling the new POTUS and commenting on the general political climate in the most hilarious ways, and people can't get enough of the commotion.
Spread the word like it's mustard on a sandwich you're gonna put me on.

How 2 Sam's Club Employees Went Above and Beyond For a Boy With Down Syndrome
After shopping at their local Sam's Club, Carter and his mom were ready to check out. They noticed one cashier smiling in her aisle and without giving it too much thought, they got in her lane. That simple decision ended up changing the rest of their day, as the cheery employee immediately befriended the 6-year-old with Down syndrome.
"Carter walks around the register and wants to help her," Carter's mom, April Jones Rouse, told TODAY. "I told him to scan a couple of items and come on, and she said, 'No, he's fine.' She didn't hesitate or rush."
After the enthusiastic child enjoyed his chance to examine the cash register and check out his own groceries, another kind stranger stopped by. The store manager, Mike Russo, had noticed the heartwarming interaction and wanted to add to the child's excitement.
He complimented Carter on a job well done and then asked April if he could borrow Carter for a minute. "He comes back downstairs and Carter has his vest on - he had put little buttons on the vest," April said. Mike then took Carter around to meet other staff members before the child joyfully thanked him with a heartfelt kiss on the cheek.
Chrissy Teigen Wanted to Wear a 1-Piece For Her Sports Illustrated Shoot - Until She Saw This Bikini
When Chrissy Teigen arrived to her Sports Illustrated swim shoot, the supermodel was hesitant to try on a bikini. This would be the first time she was posing post baby, after all. "She showed up telling me she would only shoot one-pieces, and if I could throw a blanket over the top of her, that would be great," editor MJ Day said.
But after embracing her natural glow on the beach, Chrissy quickly changed her mind, changing into printed string designs in various shades of purple. "By the end of [the shoot], I think she was wearing nothing," MJ said.
Chrissy weighed in too: "MJ's right, and I don't want to say this to her, but the tinier the suit, the smaller and hotter you look. Ugh, I hate that. I hate that she's right!"
It's easy to see why Chrissy felt so confident after studying her shots with photographer James Macari. This year's iconic issue will include women of all shapes and sizes, continuing its strive for diversity. Read on to watch a BTS clip of Chrissy filming, then check out one of her finalized images and shop the boho-inspired bikini, complete with beaded tassels at the sides and a vibrant color palette Chrissy pulls off with ease.
Mastering Minimalism (and the Brands We Turn To)
There's a fluid mathematics to dressing today. We're being economical and intelligent in the way we wear and perhaps more importantly buy clothes. The constructs are of our own accord, and the fashion world is nonchalantly nudging us to "be who you want to be!" Mastering minimalism isn't an Olympic sport - it is, quite simply, taking ownership of our individuality. Now, proportions make sense again; silhouettes are cleaner; our closets are more streamlined.
There's an effortlessness to dressing now that we craved before but couldn't find. Where some claim this trend is inexpressive, we tend to disagree. What it is instead is a poignant and thoughtful movement against superficiality and labels. There's a freshness and originality to it and a freedom that not only encourages - but insists - on our own personal brand of uniqueness. Minimalism is proof that less really is more. More taste, that is. And a much fuller palette.

If you're still in the mood to torture yourself by watching a heartbreaking, frustrating Netflix docuseries, we have good news for you: Making a Murderer is returning for a second season.

There are still a lot of questions out there, and we can't wait to see how the next installment of Making a Murderer pans out.
Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid React to Hearing "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" on the Radio For the First Time
Taylor Swift may be a big pop star, but she still gets excited when she hears her song on the radio for the first time. On Wednesday, the singer posted a video of her jamming out to her Fifty Shades Darker duet with Zayn Malik, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," alongside his girlfriend and her pal, Gigi Hadid. Not only did the girls get really into it with hand signals and nailing every word, but Taylor even threw in her classic head bang when the beat hit. And the "Bad Blood" singer isn't the only one to star in one of Zayn's music videos. Gigi also made a special appearance in "Pillow Talk" around the time the two first started dating.

This Is How All Your Favorite Chefs Make Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is one of those recipes everyone should learn how to make, but it's so much more than white bread and American cheese. Need a little inspiration? Here's how some of our favorite celebrity cooks make theirs (I personally want to try Chrissy Teigen's ASAP).
Alton Brown: Literally Grilled
Alton Brown has very strong feelings about calling it "grilled" cheese when it actually isn't. In Alton's grilled cheese video, he says, "These words repesent disappintment, dishonesty, and disillusionment, because whenever people say they're gonna make you a grilled cheese sandwich, what they really mean is they're gonna make you a griddled sandwich containing some melted cheese. Well, not me." And he's not exaggerrating - Alton's grilled cheese recipe calls for putting the cheese and the bread on the grill.
Giada De Laurentiis: With Italian Flair
Would you expect anything else from a Giada recipe than an Italian flair? Her grilled cheese with spinach and pancetta is proof that prosciutto or pancetta makes anything better.
Mario Batali: French Toast-Like
Mario Batali's grilled cheese technique is certainly one I'd never heard before. He whisks eggs, whole milk, thyme, pecorino cheese, and salt in a bowl and dips each sandwich in the mixture before adding to the pan. "We're almost making it like a french toast; in Italian, this would be called mozzarella en carozza, which is 'in the carriage.'" This eggy coating creates a thicker, crunchy, golden-brown crust.
Chrissy Teigen: Sweet and Spicy
"My love of oozing cheese knows no bounds, and as I'm sure you've noticed, I'm constantly trying to find a way to squish delicious things between buttery pieces of bread." Same, girl. That's how Chrissy Teigen introduces her grilled cheese recipe, and the oozing cheese is just the beginning of the excitement. Chrissy adds sweet Thai chili sauce, red onions, and fresh peaches for an unexpected sweet and spicy flavor combination.
Ina Garten: Mayo Slathered
Ina Garten is one of those cooks who follows recipes to a T, so you know her decision to include this secret ingredient was well-thought-out, and it's . . . mayonnaise. Actually, mayo and dijon mustard. Ina's grilled cheese recipe calls for generously spreading the bread with the condiment mixture on one side, and butter on the other - "Don't neglect the corners!" she advises.
The Pioneer Woman: Starts With a Cast-Iron Skillet
The Pioneer Woman's grilled cheese recipe proves that sometimes you don't need to mess with a classic. If you've got a cast-iron skillet, all you need is three ingredients - bread, cheese, and butter - to be on your way to an extracrispy exterior and melty center.
Bobby Flay: Nontraditional Cheeses
You won't find cheddar or mozzarella in Bobby Flay's grilled cheese. You'll find a combination of melty brie and tangy goat cheese, plus bacon and green tomatoes to keep things interesting.

What Happens When the Babysitter Gets Hungry and Doesn't Want to Leave the Baby Alone
When Claudia Sorhaindo asked her niece to watch her baby girl, Ava, while she ran out of the house quickly, she never expected to receive a text containing a photo of the most creative baby-carrying method. However, because J'Ann got hungry while keeping an eye on her cousin and didn't want to leave the baby alone even for a second, she was forced to come up with a hands-free solution to carrying Ava around the kitchen.
"I received a text saying that J'Ann wanted to make a sandwich, but didn't want to let baby Ava out of her sight," Sorhaindo wrote on Facebook. "Lord send help; this was her solution." In the hilarious photos posted to Facebook, Ava is seen sitting contently inside J'Ann's bright pink sweat shorts, and the internet is collectively losing it over this genius "invention."
Of course we're going to preach safety first here, but regardless, this is pretty freakin' hysterical. Keep on keeping on with the inventing (and sandwich making), J'Ann.

Drew Barrymore Acts Out a Lap Dance in a Princess Dress on Ellen
Drew Barrymore is not afraid to get down and dirty. The Santa Clarita Diet star stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday to talk about her new show, her adorable daughters, and to act out a lap dance in a princess dress (you read that right). During a game of Heads Up!, Drew and the host paid homage to the actress's two girls, Olive and Frankie, and their love of all things Disney by dressing up in poufy dresses. They then had to act out different things for the other person to guess, including a sexy crawl, a lap dance, and rolling over. Skirts were flying everywhere (as were our tears from laughter).

1 Tiny Falcons Fan Is Hoping For a Super Bowl Victory and a Win Against Cancer
Ella may be the Atlanta Falcons' tiniest fan, but she's a strong fighter and she's not letting her battle against cancer at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta stop her from cheering on her team as they play for the cup at Super Bowl 51. Ella has been receiving chemotherapy treatments for Langerhans cell histiocytosis over the last eight months, but she's all smiles in a photo posted to the hospital's Facebook page, sporting an adorable lace-lined Atlanta Falcons hospital gown and headband.
Ella isn't CHOA's only mini Falcons fan, though; the hospital posted another photo to Facebook recently of a bespectacled little boy in a teeny Julio Jones jersey and a custom neck brace with the Falcons logo printed on it. With his finger held up in the "number one" position, it looks like he's calling it now: the Falcons are going all the way!
Although we're not big football fans over here, we hope for his and Ella's sake that their Falcons crush it on Sunday!
Drew Barrymore's Secret Celebrity Crushes Are Unexpected (but Perfect)
Drew Barrymore sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday, and although the Santa Clarita Diet star didn't eat anyone in the audience, she did open up about her modern family with ex-husband Will Kopelman. "It was my worst nightmare," she said of their April 2016 divorce. "I so wanted to raise my kids in this ultratraditional way and do everything the polar opposite of my experience. It really is about the tone you set, because kids watch you every single day of your life, all day long." Drew, who shares daughters Olive and Frankie with Will, calls the friendly relationship they've been able to maintain since splitting a "miracle and a blessing." In honor of her happily single status, Ellen also got Drew to play a few rounds of (fictional) celebrity Tinder, which resulted in her giving John Mayer and Harry Styles a hard pass, but an enthusiastic "YES!" to a late-night host and a certain Game of Thrones star. Find out who above!
If You Take a Closer Look, Bella Hadid Isn't Wearing Your Average Pair of Sneakers
Imagine a sneaker and over-the-knee boot hybrid. You'll probably think of a pair similar to the ones in DKNY's Spring '17 collection. We first spotted Bella Hadid in the sneaker boot at the show and now the model has brought the runway look to the streets. For her campaign celebration with the brand, Bella chose a pair of DKNY's stitched beige sneakers to coordinate with her cream-colored ensemble. Though the style didn't creep up to her thighs (like some versions spotted on the runway), it was the perfect length to show off her long legs and wear under her white skirt.
It's only a matter of time before all the It girls are after these thigh-high sneakers. The bold style isn't your average shoe and that's why we must have one. Shop similar options ahead!

Kate Middleton's Worn 10 Outfits That Are So Charlotte York
Kate Middleton might be based in London, while Charlotte York's a fictional character from NYC, but you wouldn't believe the style overlap. How did it take us all this time to realize that both ladies prefer dainty bags, peplum silhouettes, and the same sort of diamond jewels?
Charlotte might have been at brunch with the girls while Kate enjoyed the China state banquet, but they wore the same accessories. And while Charlotte got glam for Carrie's wedding, Kate has walked the red carpet in a nearly identical gown.

How to Properly Clean Your Keyboard - Because Just Wiping It Doesn't Really Do Much
The dirt lingering in your keyboard models itself after that old saying: out of sight, out of mind. While giving your keyboard the deep cleaning it really needs may seem like a daunting task, the process was recently broken down by one helpful Imgur user, who goes by codenamesharp on the site.
The user's step-by-step guide is great in that it uses household items you likely already have. One look at the dirt, crumbs, and grime under the user's keyboard should be enough to leave you running to go clean your own. It's important to note, however, that this technique primarily works for wireless keyboards and the process may vary from keyboard to keyboard.
Look ahead for the handy how-to.
