Here's How Naked Jamie Dornan Will Get in Fifty Shades Darker
If you needed just one more reason to get excited about Fifty Shades Darker, we've got it right here. There's a lot of information about the sequel out there, from the loads of set pictures to the sizzling set of trailers. Even so, there's one question that has yet to be answered: if Jamie Dornan didn't show his penis in the first film, will he go full frontal this time around?
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dornan didn't exactly confirm that we'd see him in his birthday suit in the film . . . but, well, he didn't really deny it either. When asked about the issue, he replied, "The truth is that I don't know the answer to that. You'll have to wait and see. [Laughs.]" If you really pick apart the phrase, the fact that Dornan is unsure might mean it's all up to the final cut. As in, perhaps he shot some nude scenes and he's just not sure if they made it into the film. Luckily, we don't have to wait too much longer to find out: the film's release is set for Friday!
The 1 Pasta Recipe Every Beginner Should Make, According to Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay sat down to answer the internet's questions in an AMA about MasterClass, the chef's new online cooking series. Unsurprisingly, Gordon didn't hold back his number of "f*cks" or honest responses, giving fans - or "supporters," as he prefers to call them - the answers they really wanted. In addition to weighing in on questions about hot topics like cannabis-infused foods, to which Gordon responded, "I get high off perfection, I don't need cannabis," the MasterChef Junior host shared the one pasta recipe he thinks every beginner should make to impress a date.
When someone asked, "What is a good dish that a single guy (who can't cook) should make to impress a first date?" Gordon responded with the advice below.
"Pasta is a great way to show some great flair, in a way that, whether it's dry spaghetti or even fresh made tagliatelle pasta. I would start off with a sort of roasted shallot, garlic, chili, fresh lime juice, with flaked crab meat over it. Once you've mastered the basics and so simply done like that, using pasta as a starch is with an amazing protein. So is it a beautiful caramelized breast of chicken on that pasta, is that amazing marinated slice of tuna. So start off with pasta, and that's really exciting to show off some great skills mastering pasta.
If you really want to be the ultimate single guy, looking for the most extreme date, crank a little pasta machine, sit her down, serve her the most amazing glass of Champagne, and just tell her to sit and watch for five minutes while I roll the pasta. Now rolling that pasta through the machine and cranking it down into those thin layers and all of a sudden you've got this tiny bowl of pasta, 5 minutes later you've got this 10 meter incredible rivered table of pasta. I swear to god, 50 shades, shadier, trust me, this will be 50 sheets of pasta in your duvet!"
Fifty sheets of pasta? Sounds just about as romantic as a date can get. Catch up on Gordon's full AMA here.

This Woman Went Against the Rulebook and Reveals the 1 Thing She Did to Detect Breast Cancer
There are many things we do to try to detect breast cancer early on, whether we're consistently doing self-checks while standing in the shower or visiting the doctor regularly, but one woman is revealing a simple tactic she used and is hoping it will save lives the same way it did hers. Hayley Browning is a 27-year-old woman from the UK who detected her breast cancer by doing the exact opposite of what she was always told to do to check for lumps - she laid down.
Hayley took to Facebook to share her story with the world and explain how she found a lump in her breast while lying down, a lump that "completely disappeared" when she was standing up. After being diagnosed with breast cancer three weeks ago, she was determined to make sure other women knew what she knew and what helped save her life.
"I could only feel the lump whilst lying down and it completely disappeared standing up," Hayley wrote. "Most websites tell you to check for lumps in the shower but if I had followed this advice, the lump may have grown too large to be treatable. Not even the surgeon could feel my lump when I was standing up. So, this is a call out to all women to check for lumps lying down, as well as standing up."
While many resources can help both men and women understand what breast cancer can look and feel like, this simple tactic of doing your breast exam lying down takes only a few extra seconds, and it can save your life.
"As I think about my long journey ahead and the chemotherapy I will undertake, I want to reach as many people with this message and help find more #LaidBackLumps," Hayley closed her note, alongside two hospital photos.
If you detect a lump during a self-exam, please contact your doctor immediately.

Dunkin' Donuts' New Bottled Iced Coffees Are Here, and We Are Pumped
Dunkin' Donuts bottled coffees have officially hit store shelves. The ready-to-drink beverages, which come in four flavors, are available at grocery stores, convenience stores, mass merchandisers, and some Dunkin' Donuts stores. So if you want, you can now say goodbye to the long coffee shop lines in the morning and stock up on these bottles straight from your favorite grocer instead.
Dunkin' Donuts fittingly announced the news of these new drinks on National Coffee Day last year, and we've been anxiously patiently waiting to get our hands on them to try. Thankfully, today was that day, and we tried them all so you know which one to pick up from the grocery store first.
Original: The original flavor tastes exactly like what you'd get at a standard Dunkin' Donuts store, if a little on the sweet side. One of our taste testers, who is a Dunks devotee, said this flavor was amazing.
Mocha: The mocha option was a little too sweet for our tasters. It was a good afternoon pick-me-up for anyone who likes their coffee to be on the sweet side.
French Vanilla: This flavor went over really well with our tasters. One said it was like heaven in her mouth! It was very smooth and sweet, perfect to have as a dessert post dinner.
Espresso: The espresso flavor was exactly the afternoon boost we were looking for. It was very sweet and didn't have an overpowering espresso taste.
And there you have it! Overall, all four options were a hit among coffee fans here, so next time you need a morning - or afternoon - caffeine fix, you can reach for one of these ready-to-drink options.

No Star Has Ever Pulled a Style Switch-Up Like Selena Gomez
It takes a lot of confidence to completely revamp your look, especially when you're in the public eye. Selena Gomez knows a thing or two about that. The performer has managed to successfully define her style from the street to the red carpet to the stage, but as they say, "it takes a village." Selena credits much of her transformation to stylist Kate Young, who she began working with in 2015 while promoting her Revival tour.
Before that, she developed a relationship with Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière, and he's dressed her for many events. Selena has become a face of the brand, repping her favorite fashion house at the Met Gala and beyond. In 22 photos, you can see how she's held onto her sex appeal but embraced sophistication, all while managing to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground. Of course, it helps when you're rocking Louis Vuitton's sturdy platform boots.
This Boy's NSFW Imaginary Friend Resulted in 1 Hysterical Note From School
There's no denying that kids have pretty wild imaginations. But what happens when their imaginary friends start taking on a new, perhaps more naughty, persona? It turns out their teachers may take note of it, and that's exactly what just happened for one 10-year-old in England.
When Paul Hunt's son came home from school one afternoon, he gave his dad a letter from his teacher. It wasn't about poor grades or a lack of classroom participation, but rather about the boy's new imaginary friend that has quite the inappropriate name: "Wildo the Dildo." Yes, you read that correctly.
Paul shared the letter with his Twitter followers, adding that the it's "the funniest thing I've ever read."
The teacher's note began by explaining how Paul's son and his friends "often make up characters, give them amusing names and then they have exciting adventures at playtimes." The letter added that although having imaginary friends in itself isn't harmful, this boy's interesting choice for a character name has "raised some concerns."
When Paul first read the note, he couldn't help but crack up. "My son genuinely had no idea what the word meant and was mortified when he found out it wasn't appropriate," he told POPSUGAR Moms. "When we received the letter we struggled to keep a straight face in front of him, but we managed it somehow."
He wasn't the only one to get a good laugh out of his child's rhyme, hundreds of people responded to his tweet to express how hilarious the whole fiasco is.
@pahunt1978 Is that genuine? I've just laughed a lung up.
- Louis Barfe (@LFBarfe) February 7, 2017
@pahunt1978 @GreenAlty Priceless. That's the kind of letter you save for his 18 birthday party.

Madonna Adopts Twin Girls! Check Out These 26 Celebrities Who've Adopted Children
Babies come into homes in many different ways, and Hollywood homes are no different.

Celebs have traveled the world in search of babies to call their own.
Madonna is the latest celebrity mom to expand her family through adoption and is now the proud mother to 4-year-old twin girls from the Malawi.

But while glamorous events involving our favorite stars happen all over the world, "Hollywood" can actually be a pretty small place.

This Photo Resurfacing of a Boy at His Twin's Grave Is Going to Rip You Apart
A heartbreaking photo posted to Facebook three years ago of a young boy sitting against a small gravestone has resurfaced, and is crushing the internet's collective heart. The boy, Walker Myrick, now nearly 10 years old, was just 5 years old when his mother snapped this photo of him talking to his late twin brother, Willis, about his first day of kindergarten.
It's said that twins have a uniquely strong bond, and the Myrick family's story proves that there's undeniable truth to that statement, especially as Walker technically never even met his twin brother. Willis died in the womb at 23 weeks due to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare disease that can occur when identical twins share one placenta. The boys' mother, Brooke, says that Walker often asks to visit his brother's grave to talk to him and keep his memory alive.
"He speaks of his brother all the time and, when he was a toddler, he would run to the grave and lean down and hug it," Brooke told Mirror Online. "I think their connection is strong, even in death. Identical twins are known to carry a very strong connection and I believe it's still there with my boys. Willis truly lives through Walker - and I think he watches over him."
On the day this particular photo was taken back in 2012, Walker specifically asked to go see Willis after his first day of kindergarten. "Walker told us he wanted to tell Willis about starting school," Brooke said. "I found him like this after getting my baby out of the car. I saw him sitting there and knew I had to snap a photo."
Brooke is using her story to educate people about TTTS, as she had never even heard of the disease before Willis' death. "We were not screened for it, nor did our doctor refer us to a specialist or even know that my boys were identical and sharing a placenta," she said. "We fight for awareness because of the lack of knowledge that our doctor possessed about this disease."
To do so, Brooke holds a walk in honor of the boys' birthday to raise money for the TTTS Foundation every year, called the "Walker and Willis Birthday Walk to Fight TTTS" - this year's walk will be held on March 11.
"Ten years without my sweet Willis does not seem right," Brooke said. "But Willis lives on through Walker and all he does to fight TTTS."

We've Been Blessed: Oprah Is Starring in the Terms of Endearment Remake
Terms of Endearment is getting the remake treatment, and there's some casting news that just changed the game. The Wrap is reporting that Lee Daniels is directing, and Oprah Winfrey is starring as Aurora Greenway.

The movie also beat out The Big Chill and The Right Stuff for the best picture trophy.
Winfrey is currently also signed on to play Mrs. Which in Ava DuVernay's adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. We'll keep you posted as more casting news comes in!
The OA Has Been Renewed for Season 2! Watch the Teaser
This post has been updated with new information.
Netflix nearly pulled a Beyoncé in December, announcing that a new original series would be dropping in a matter of days. All eight episodes of season one of The OA are now available for all your viewing purposes, and in February, the streaming giant revealed that Part Two is on the way! Not only did they confirm more episodes, they released a brief teaser:
Shortly after season one debuted, creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij had hinted at the possibilities in an interview with Variety .
When asked if there were plans for season two, Marling said:
"Oh my goodness, that would be so much fun. We spent a good three years just cobbling the mathematics of the labyrinth of a mind-bender that could go for many, many hours. We wanted to solve the riddle. We wanted to know what was at the center of the labyrinth within the very first chapter. I would think that's one of the exciting things about where we leave the ending, is that in some ways, it resolves in a satisfying sense, especially with the boys, but it also leaves something open. It's exciting to leave that gap between one season and another and see how people feel about it and what they're thinking, and then to get to continue, to actually answer the questions. If we get to be so lucky as to get to another round, I would be so excited."
Meanwhile, Batmanglij essentially said it depended on the response to season one.
"Yes, we designed it that way. Whether it will happen or not, I think that's up to you guys. All of you in the world. If people connect to it. I would like to see this story continue. . . . Brit and I figured out the whole thing. The whole thing's a riddle. There are a lot of clues. Very few people have really picked up on all the clues. Our sound engineer picked up on a major one that kind of blew my mind. I was like, 'That is designed for only the closest, creepiest viewer to find.'"
We'll let you know once we have a release date!
Why 1 Student's Project Showcasing the Power of Breast Milk Is Going Viral
There's a difference between hearing that breast milk is good for babies and actually being able to see it. Thanks to one student who managed to capture this visual proof, now we can see it - and her photo is going viral for all of the right reasons.
Vicky Greene is a first-year biosciences student and her recent work gives parents a unique view at how the antibodies found in breast milk actually help their little ones fight off infection. For her microbiology project, Vicky had nine petri dishes containing the bacteria M. Luteus. She then added a disk soaked in breast milk to the center of each dish. This milk came from two different nursing moms - the samples labeled BmA are from a mom who's breastfeeding a 15-month-old and the samples marked BmB are from a mom who's nursing a 3-year-old.
The power of both moms' breast milk is easy to see in this incredible photo. "See the clear bit around the discs - that's where the proteins in the milk have killed off the bacteria!" Vicky captioned her photo on Facebook. "It also worked with E. coli and had a fairly good go at MRSA too . . . the future is bright, the future is breast milk."

Ryan Murphy has moved all his bags into FX and unpacked, and he's planning on staying for quite a while. After the success of American Horror Story (which has been renewed through season nine) and Emmy darling The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, he's continuing the limited series formula with Feud. Each season will focus on an infamous Hollywood feud, beginning with a classic rivalry from the Golden Age of film. The cast is loaded with talent, and the first season recently got a premiere date. Here's what you need to know about the show before it hits the small screen!
The Plot
According to FX, the season "tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) during their collaboration on the Academy Award-nominated thriller What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and well after the cameras stopped rolling. The series explores how the two women endured ageism, sexism, and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers."
The Cast
In addition to Lange and Sarandon, the cast features Alfred Molina as What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as Warner Bros. President Jack Warner, and Judy Davis as legendary gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. The roster of guest stars is also impressive: Sarah Paulson (duh) as actress Geraldine Page, Kathy Bates as actress Joan Blondell, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Oscar winner Olivia de Havilland, and Kiernan Shipka as Bette Davis's daughter B.D.
The First Teaser: "Fight"
The Second Teaser: "Stars"
The Title Sequence
The Premiere Date
Season one will premiere on Sunday, March 5!
The Internet Turned the How Bow Dah Meme Into a Challenge, and It's Absolutely Amazing
It only took a few days for the "How Bow Dah" meme to fully take over the internet. You can't escape Danielle, her face, and saying "cash me outside, how bow dah" to any question. Well thankfully, the internet feels similar and has made an entire challenge out of the meme called the How Bout Dat Challenge.
The challenge involves dancing to DJ Suede the Remix God's "Cash Me Outside" song. It's not just any kind of dancing; it's doing a riff of the Reverse Challenge, which took off last year. The results are videos of teens trying their best and absolutely nailing it.
Watch some of the best challenge videos ahead. It might be enough to hold you down until Danielle's return on Dr. Phil next week.
Mandy Moore's Boho Wedding Dress Will Be on Your Mind All Day
There are countless reasons we tune in to This Is Us every Tuesday night, but perhaps the most prominent is Rebecca's '70s wardrobe. Costume designer Hala Bahmet dresses Mandy Moore's character in colorful tunics, high-waisted Levi's, and lace-trimmed blouses that err on the bohemian side. When it came time for main characters Rebecca and Jack to tie the knot, we weren't surprised to find Rebecca in a cream floor-length gown with a stitched overlay.
Styled with a flower crown and featuring a modest neckline and sheer sleeves, the look was a free-spirited bride's dream. Maybe it was Mandy Moore's gorgeous glow that stuck with us long after that romantic scene, but something sent us searching for similar maxis. Scroll for a look at Rebecca's dress, then shop alternatives that work for a walk down the aisle, vacation, and future Summer nights.
This Little Girl Is All Smiles Despite Nearly a Year in the Hospital and 2 Bone Marrow Transplants
My daughter has overcome two bone marrow transplants. She has spent the last 322 days away from her family and mostly in the hospital due to complications. However, she has the joy of the Lord and a love for music. Overcomer is one of her all time favs! Someone suggested I share it with you personally! She is such a light to all she meets....I hope she brings a smile to your face, too!
Posted by Lindsay Chapman-Carroll on Sunday, February 5, 2017
Despite nearly a year in the hospital away from her family and two bone marrow transplants, 4-year-old Leah is putting a big smile on the faces of millions.
When her mother, Lindsay Chapman-Carroll, posted a video to Facebook of Leah - who suffers from Severe congenital neutropenia, a condition that causes her to be prone to recurrent infections - singing during her recovery in the hospital, it's unlikely that she thought over 19 million people would see that clip. However, because the song the adorable toddler is singing is "Overcomer" by Mandisa, Lindsay decided to post it to Mandisa's Facebook page, where tons of her fans were able to see it.
"My daughter has overcome two bone marrow transplants. She has spent the last 322 days away from her family and mostly in the hospital due to complications," Lindsay wrote in the video's caption. "'Overcomer' is one of her all time favs! Someone suggested I share it with you personally! She is such a light to all she meets . . . I hope she brings a smile to your face, too!"
And that she did - Mandisa commented on the video herself to say that Leah "brought a smile to my face, tears to my eyes, and joy to my soul." The singer then asked permission to post the video to her page herself to share with even more people. "Leah's light shines so brightly!" Mandisa wrote in a comment replying to Lindsay. "As evidence, tons of people messaged me to make sure I saw this precious angel! I sure hope I can meet her soon."
This amazing little lady is battling this condition full force, and her positivity and energy is truly inspiring.
Aretha Franklin Announces That She's Retiring
After decades of blessing the world with some of the biggest songs, Aretha Franklin announced on Tuesday that she'll be retiring this year. The 74-year-old singer, who has enjoyed a 60-year career, told Detroit TV station Local 4 that she'll hang up her hat after she's done recording her new album. "I must tell you, I am retiring this year," she said. "This will be my last year. I will be recording, but this will be my last year in concert. This is it."
While she is taking a major step back, she assured her fans that she won't be disappearing completely, saying she'll do "select things" six months out of the year. "I feel very, very enriched and satisfied with respect to where my career came from, and where it is now," the "Respect" and "Natural Woman" singer continued. "I'll be pretty much satisfied, but I'm not going to go anywhere and just sit down and do nothing. That wouldn't be good either." Aretha's final album, which will be her 42nd, will be released in September.

Jessica Alba: I Was Told I Wasn't "Caucasian Enough to Play the Leading Lady"
Jessica Alba is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, but at the start of her career, she had trouble finding roles. "They couldn't figure out my ethnicity. I would always go out for 'exotic,'" said Jessica, whose father is Mexican-American. "They were like, 'You're not Latin enough to play a Latina, and you're not Caucasian enough to play the leading lady, so you're going to be the 'exotic' one.' Whatever that was."
The entrepreneur and mother of two wasn't sure how to tackle being categorized in that manner. "That was kind of a weird thing to wrestle with, because I never had to look at myself that way or stick myself in a bucket. So I was more determined to be a leading lady to show that girls can look like me, and we can be leading ladies," Jessica said.
Jessica started The Honest Company in 2011 and broke into skin care and cosmetics in 2015 with Honest Beauty, which stemmed from not being able to find cosmetics that suited her skin tone growing up. "The philosophy around starting this beauty line is about enhancing who you are instead of cover up and turn you into somebody else," Jessica said. "I didn't feel like, when I was younger, that there were a lot of things offered to women of color. I found it really difficult to find even a foundation that had the right mix of yellow undertones and a little bit of pink . . . I'm definitely a blend of the two. I would have makeup artists constantly talk to me about how hard it was to match my skin tone."
The Honest Company is valued at $1.7 billion and is, reportedly, in talks to sell. Watch the video to learn more about Jessica's beauty philosophy, and stay tuned for part two of this interview, in which Jessica discusses how Latinas are a force to be reckoned with.
This Is Already Turning Out to Be Selena Gomez's Sexiest Year Yet
Selena Gomez is back from her 2016 hiatus with a vengeance. Not only is the singer working on a new album (and collaborations with Paulina Rubio and possibly Maluma), she also teased a Wizards of Waverly Place reunion, made out with rumored new boyfriend The Weeknd in the streets of Los Angeles, and posed for a now-deleted topless and thong-clad photo - wow, right?
If all of that is any indication, Selena will surely have her hottest year ever. We predict she'll show off an even more revealing sense of style, give us more sultry Instagram selfies and magazine spreads, and probably come out with the most sensual album cover she's yet to give us. Scroll ahead for her sexiest moments so far.

These Crave-Inducing Photos Will Make You Wish Every Day Were National Bagel Day
Since I moved to New York City eight months ago, my eyes have been opened up to lots of new experiences: squeezing onto a sardine-can-like subway during rush hour, dodging selfie-stick-carrying tourists while walking the streets, and most notably, enjoying the pure and utter perfection that is a bagel sandwich. I've devoured my fair share of the carby dough rings and ultimately crowned them "Most Instagrammable Food." (Sorry not sorry, sushi rolls and frozen yogurt.)
The rest of the social media world seems to agree that bagels are incredibly photo-worthy, as crave-inducing photos of the breakfast goods seem to regularly flood my Instagram feed. Ahead I've gathered some of the most glorious photos of bagels in honor of National Bagel Day. Beware: they may break your screen with their sheer beauty; you've been warned.

Everything We Know So Far About the MAC "Pizza Cutter" Eyeliner
MAC Cosmetics's creative team is often on the forefront of ingenuity when it comes to new colors, formulas, and collaborations, and we now know they're proving that again with a mysterious upcoming new launch. Makeup artist Michael Patterson, who is working with MAC Cosmetics backstage for New York Fashion Week, revealed an innovative, unreleased liquid liner on his Instagram feed.
"Pizza cutter sharpness," he captioned an image of the liner's swatches. This has led the internet to coin the product "pizza cutter eyeliner."
When the package is closed, it looks quite like a standard liquid liner. But when you uncap it, there is no brush or felt tip at the end of the wand, but a tiny spinning wheel. Patterson demonstrated how it works on a piece of paper: it seems that the wheel is made of an absorbent material (like a sturdy felt or foam) that absorbs the ink and rolls across a surface to lay down the pigment. How genius is that? We can't wait to see it in use on skin!
We have reached out to MAC Cosmetics for more details, so stay tuned as they become available.
