John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Really Have the Look of Love Down
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are one of the sweetest couples in Hollywood. The two started dating in 2008, tied the knot in 2010, welcomed their first child, daughter Hazel, in 2014, and second daughter Violet in July 2016. Whenever they pose for pictures together on the red carpet, John regularly whispers into Emily's ear, and instead of focusing on the cameras, they get completely wrapped up in each another. Take a look at some of their sweetest snaps through the years.
How to Handle a Child Who's Going Through a Biting Phase
About a year ago, my gym buddy got called out of our class by a childcare worker. Since they don't change diapers, this is a pretty regular occurrence, but she was gone much longer than normal, and when she returned, I could tell something was off. "Mateo just bit another kid," she told me after class, obviously upset. I reassured her that biting is pretty common among 2-year-old boys like ours and that she shouldn't worry too much, but secretly I was relieved that it was her son that had the biting "problem" and not my own sweet, loving, perfect angel.
A couple of weeks later, guess who got called out of class because her kid was biting? Yep, that would be me, and karma's a b*tch because my kid bit a little girl in the face. Literally chomped down on a sweet toddler's cheek. That embarrassing, disturbing incident was just the beginning of my now 3-year-old son's biting habit, and while he's fortunately limited most of his attacks to our immediate family (is this fortunate?! God, my standards are low), I've become an expert in the whys of biting and the best ways to stop it.
Although we're not completely out of the woods - his older sister was sporting a teeth-shaped bruise on her chest as recently as last week - things have gotten better, a fact that I attribute to him getting older and being able to communicate better. If you're dealing with a biter (estimates show that somewhere between 10 and 25 percent of all toddlers will engage in biting behavior), here's what you need to know.
Why Biting Happens
When your child bites, it's hard not to think of it as a malicious, violent act, but that's probably not the case. The number-one reason a child bites is out of frustration and their inability to express that emotion through language. Other causes include simple exploration (kids are oral creatures still learning how their bodies work) and teething. Kids also bite as an attempt to gain control or attention, as a defense mechanism, or even as a way to express affection. Since small children don't have the verbal skills to simply explain that they want a specific toy, to be included in big sister's game, or your undivided attention, they act out, and biting can be the result. Once those communication skills are gained around age 3 or 4, the behavior will most likely subside.
How to Respond When Your Child Bites
Stay calm. Although witnessing a bite, especially when it's accompanied by another child's pain, can be stress-inducing, your reaction shouldn't be overly emotional. Explain to your child that the behavior is unacceptable in simple language, like a firm "No" or "You don't bite." If time-outs work for your child, now is the time to use one; otherwise, try to redirect your child to another activity. Definitely don't scream, hit, or bite your child in an effort to show them how it feels (it will instead reinforce violence as acceptable). Also, don't force your child to apologize or empathize with the person he bit, as both concepts are probably over his head; and don't make it too big of a deal, as giving the bite too much attention might actually encourage the behavior.
How to Stop Biting
In most cases, it might simply be a wait-it-out situation. If your child bites once or twice (or even once or twice a month), respond in a low-key manner as described above each time. If possible, intervention is also a great method. Keep a close eye on your child in any situation where they're at risk of biting, and if you see the behavior starting, swoop in and redirect them before it can happen. Also, teaching your child better ways to express themselves in situations where they tend to bite (i.e. "If you are frustrated about sharing a toy with a friend, come find mommy or a teacher and ask for help"). Methods that require very basic language skills are best. Finally, praise good behavior when you see your child acting gently and playing nicely.
Biting Resources
If your child's biting behavior isn't changing as they get older and they're not learning better communication methods, talk to your pediatrician. For younger kids, books like Teeth Are Not For Biting ($8), Little Dinos Don't Bite ($8), and Good Biting, Bad Biting ($13) can help reinforce that biting is bad.
5 Reasons You Should Absolutely Be Eating Chocolate Today
There's no need to nix chocolate from your diet for good. When satisfying a sweet tooth, choosing dark chocolate can be an excellent decision for your health. In fact, your body might actually need it! When we talked to Nutritionist Lisa Eberly, RD, she told POPSUGAR that chocolate cravings are often a sign that the body needs a little comfort. "Our body craves magnesium when we have any kind of muscle cramping, and eating chocolate soothes cramps," said Eberly. Suddenly those PMS-triggered chocolate cravings make perfect sense.
If easing sore muscles wasn't enough of an excuse to pick up some chocolate today, here are five more healthy reasons to eat the good stuff.

Breakup to Makeup: 28 On-Again, Off-Again Celebrity Couples
Sometimes giving it a second chance is worth a shot, and other times, the third time may not be the charm. While some celebrity couples, such as Kate Middleton and Prince William, have proven that a break is necessary to strengthen a relationship, others, like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, probably should have made a clean break the first time around. From Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, we're taking a look at 27 celebrity couples who've been on and off again so much you'll feel like you're riding a roller coaster.
The Simple Reason Prince William Doesn't Wear a Wedding Ring
When Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in 2010, he gave her the stunning 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire ring that his late mother, Princess Diana, wore during her marriage to Prince Charles. And when the two tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in London in 2011, Kate added a gold band to sit perfectly next to her sparkler. But despite the duchess of Cambridge's new jewelry, there was no big exchanging of rings, because Prince William never got one. The reason? It's just not his style. Shortly before the couple's big day, the palace released a statement about his decision to ditch tradition and go ringless, saying, "It is simply down to personal preference. It was something the couple discussed but Prince William isn't one for jewelry." Seeing as how William and Kate are one of the most famous couples on the planet, they would be hard-pressed to find someone who wasn't aware of their sweet romance. So there you have it.
These Reasons to Work Out Have Nothing to Do With Getting a Perfect Body
It can be easy to stress out about working out in order to feel confident in a bikini or skinny jeans - but there are many more reasons to exercise that have nothing to do with your waistline. A regular workout routine is essential for feeling your best and living a long, high-quality life; here are a few reminders of why exercise should be a part of your day, whether or not you're trying to drop pounds.
- More energy: No, that three-mile run isn't going to wear you out. On the contrary, research has shown that the more you exercise, the more energy you have. So if you find yourself feeling sluggish all day or can't keep your eyes open when the afternoon hits, try adding a few exercises to your routine.
- Disease prevention: Exercise is a cornerstone of any healthy lifestyle, and it can help prevent a wide variety of diseases and illnesses. Not only does regular exercise help strengthen your heart, but it can also alter the type of bacteria in your gut, which may be beneficial in helping reduce inflammatory and other diseases (in addition to helping with weight management). Add to that the fact that exercise sheds disease-causing internal fat, and it's clear that a regular workout routine can keep you on the healthy track.
- Mood boost: Stressed, annoyed, angry? Go exercise. The endorphins released when you exercise can help put you in a better mood, which can lead to all sorts of happier living moments, from socializing to a better love life.
- Better sleep: Even though exercising can rev you up, it's the perfect remedy for too many restless or sleepless nights, since it'll help you burn any excess energy you have during the day.
- Increased pain tolerance: A study found that regular cardio three times a week significantly increased participants' tolerance to pain. For anyone who's been knocked down by post-workout muscle soreness, it may seem surprising that exercise can help you feel less pain in the long run, but researchers think regular exercise could be a possible prescription for people who live with chronic pain.
- Better brain function: Problem-solving, crafting the perfect email, or nailing a presentation can be easier if you've exercised beforehand. The endorphins that pep you up also help clear your mind, so you can think better and smarter.

Bruno Mars Paid Tribute to Amy Winehouse in 2011, and His Performance Still Thrills Us
Bruno Mars captivated us with his stellar tribute to Prince at the Grammys on Sunday, but it wasn't the first time he paid homage to an artist at a major awards show. Back in 2011, just one month after Amy Winehouse's death, Mars gave a truly incredible performance of her hit "Valerie" at the MTV VMAs. The song was originally sung by British rock band The Zutons and was given a new life when Mark Ronson enlisted Winehouse to cover the song for his Version album in 2007 (a slower-tempo rendition also appeared as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Winehouse's iconic Back to Black that same year).
The upbeat, high-energy performance that Mars gave was not only a standout of his, but also a perfect way to salute the late singer. For me personally, as a huge Amy Winehouse fan, this performance was the moment I became a Bruno Mars fan, too.
Why Kate Middleton and Prince William Broke Up Before Getting Married

If you and your significant other have a history of breaking up and making up, you're not alone: there have been a handful of celebrity couples who suffered a split before ultimately getting married, and one of them has royal ties. Yes, Kate Middleton and Prince William called off their relationship before their lavish wedding in April 2011. In 2007, four years after they began dating and four years before tying the knot, the royal couple hit a rough patch and decided to part ways. Clarence House declined to comment about the relationship's end at the time, saying, "We don't comment on Prince William's private life."
"We were both very young . . . we were both finding ourselves and being different characters."So why did they split? In late 2006, Kate's family invited William to celebrate New Year's Eve with them. The Middletons booked a house in the snowy Scotland countryside. William had agreed to come, but later changed his mind - which did not sit well with Kate. Spending the holidays in Sandringham with the queen is a strict royal tradition, and Kate was not technically allowed to join in his family festivities unless she and William were married. After the new year, William's military commitments - he was to be stationed with the Household Cavalry at Bovington Barracks in Dorset for three months - kept the couple from seeing each other, and Kate was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the aggressive paparazzi and media attention she was getting as his girlfriend. William was also going out a lot with other guys in the barracks; he was spotted on a number of occasions drinking, dancing, and "being flirty" with women in London, which further angered Kate.
The two secretly reunited at a themed party in June 2010, which was held in William's barracks to celebrate the end of his training. It was during their vacation in Kenya that October that William presented Kate with the same 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire ring worn by his late mother, Princess Diana, and asked her to marry him. "I didn't really plan it that far in advance," William told reporters after the engagement was made public. "I just knew I wanted it to feel comfortable where I did it and I wanted it to mean something, other than just the act of getting engaged."

As we all know, in April 2011, Will and Kate went on to marry in one of the biggest and most newsworthy weddings of our generation. They welcomed their first child, Prince George, in July 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte, who was born in May 2015. In a joint interview after their engagement, William said of their split, "We were both very young . . . we were both finding ourselves and being different characters." He went on: "It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up so it was just a bit of space, and it worked out for the better." See? There's still hope for your own fairy-tale ending.

We Just Can't Get Enough of Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe's Beautiful Romance
Our obsession with Sterling K. Brown has reached an all-time high this year with his performances in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson and This Is Us, but we've also fallen in love with his sweet, sweet family. The actor has been married to his college sweetheart, Ryan Michelle Bathe, for nine years, and they've given us multiple glimpses of their cute relationship on the red carpet and social media. After meeting and falling in love at Stanford University, the two tied the knot in June 2007 and are now parents to two adorable sons - they've even shared the screen on Army Wives and This Is Us. Sterling may be dreamy in his own right, but it's his relationship with Ryan that really gives us heart eyes.
Blake Lively Has a Sweet Galentine's Day Date With Her Mom and Sister Robyn
While we love seeing Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds together, we especially love getting glimpses of Blake's close bond with her older sister, Robyn. On Monday, the two ladies attended L'Oreal Paris's Galentine's bash to promote the launch of their Paints + Colorista line. Robyn and Blake flashed big smiles for the cameras on the red carpet before heading inside and linking up with their mom, Elaine, to decorate cookies and mingle with beauty gurus. Blake shared a snap from the fun event on Instagram, writing, "Feb 13: Tonight's the night. Grab your best gal. 💋 I love my man. But on this valentines, I celebrate women. Time to party..." Hopefully this means we'll be seeing more of Blake and her family in the months to come!
Watch Jimmy Kimmel Find Out If Matt Damon Is the Father of His Unborn Child
Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel have been feuding for years, and on Monday, their feud took an unexpected turn when Matt challenged Jimmy on the paternity of his unborn child with wife Molly McNearney. In a hilarious skit, the men take their issues to the Maury show, where they allow a paternity test to reveal who the father of Molly's baby is. While Jimmy claims that he's the dad, Matt remains adamant that it's him. Boy, are they in for a big surprise!
John Legend and Cynthia Erivo's "God Only Knows" Is Begging to Be Your Wedding Song
One of the most beautiful moments at the Grammys on Sunday night came courtesy of John Legend and Cynthia Erivo, who performed The Beach Boys classic "God Only Knows." Although the gorgeous cover was brief and done as a lovely introduction to the show's In Memoriam segment, we're happy to report that a full-length studio version also exists and it's practically begging to be someone's wedding song. From the first strains of a violin to the song's swelling conclusion, it's wonderful from start to finish. Listen to it above - and then again and again and again and . . .
Who Was Blue Ivy's Adorable Friend at the Grammys?
Beyoncé had a monumental night at the Grammys on Sunday, but it was really her 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, who ended up stealing the show. Not only did she crash James Corden's star-studded Carpool Karaoke session, but she appeared to be having a blast cheering on her famous mom with dad Jay Z and a friend in the audience. But who exactly was her adorable pal, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the little girl is Madison Brown, the daughter of Roc Nation president Jay Brown (Jay Z founded Roc Nation in 2008). Jay is Jay Z's longtime friend and business partner, and also happens to be Rihanna's manager. So there you have it.

- Hollywood Reporter (@THR) February 13, 2017
There was no shortage of amazing moments at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, but the show's touching memorial for fallen stars like Prince, Sharon Jones, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, and more was one of its most memorable. With a heartfelt video montage touching on iconic milestones and musical moments in each of their storied careers, it paid tribute to their legacies in the best way. John Legend and Cynthia Erivo introduced and closed the emotional video with a heartbreaking rendition of The Beach Boys's "God Only Knows," so keep your tissues handy.
Every Steamy Picture We Have of Ana and Christian in the Fifty Shades Movies
Ever since Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan stepped into the roles of Ana and Christian, they've been heating up our TVs with their onscreen romance - and we just can't get enough. While Fifty Shades of Grey was filled with some sexy moments, it was Fifty Shades Darker that really left us hot and bothered. I mean, who could resist Christian's scruff? Even though we have to wait nearly a year for Fifty Shades Freed, we can still reminisce on all the steamy moments the pair shared in the last two films.
A Tribe Called Quest and Anderson .Paak Just Called Out "President Agent Orange"
Legendary rappers A Tribe Called Quest appeared at the Grammys and got nearly the entire audience on their feet. The group gave a shout-out to late member MC Phife Dawg, who passed away last year, before launching into their set alongside Anderson .Paak. The performance is killer, but make sure you catch Busta Rhymes's mention of "President Agent Orange," aka Donald Trump.
Just in Case You Were Wondering, Fifty Shades Freed Already Has a Release Date
Fifty Shades Darker hit theaters last week, and thankfully for us, the next installment isn't far behind. While we had to wait two years after the first film for the second one to come out, Fifty Shades Freed will be here in less that a year; the release date is Feb. 9, 2018. (This is one of the great perks of filming the movies back-to-back.) And if the teaser from Fifty Shades Darker's mid-credits scene was any indication, we need to prepare ourselves for one incredible ride. Plan your Valentine's Day for 2018 accordingly.

Adele Stops and Restarts Her George Michael Tribute at the Grammys After Technical Issues
The sudden, tragic loss of George Michael in December is still weighing heavy on the shoulders of many, and the Grammys made sure to honor his incredible legacy on Sunday night with a musical tribute from Adele. The singer, who kicked off the night with a performance of "Hello," launched into a moving rendition of Michael's song "Fastlove." After singing a few notes, she cursed and paused the performance, referencing the technical issues she experienced last year. "I'm sorry, I can't mess this up for him," she told the audience before restarting the haunting tune and leaving everyone teary-eyed. We have a feeling Michael would wholeheartedly approve.

Comedian Aidy Bryant Talks About Going Back to the Simpler Times
Remember when your life wasn't consumed with fawning over curated Instagram posts and commenting on upsetting Facebook news? Let's all let out a collective sigh.
There's one person in particular who would surely like to go back to slower days: actress and Saturday Night Live cast member Aidy Bryant. On Knock Knock, Rachel Antonoff's new series from POPSUGAR and Watchable, actress Bryant opens up her childhood journal and shares an adorable entry from a beach vacation she took as a kid. After reading from the pages about collecting shells and peeing in a porta-potty, Bryant comes to a realization: "I've been holding onto [this journal] because it really is so simple, and I wish I could go back to the times when this was enough," she shares. "Just this as an offering was enough to spend my time."
All young Aidy needed was the ocean breeze and a few seashells.
Katy Perry Doesn't Hold Back For Her Politically Charged Grammys Performance
Chained to the Rhythm - The Grammys 2017 http://pic.twitter.com/1aEKAA82aw
— Katy Perry Vocals (@KatyPerryVocals) February 13, 2017
Katy Perry is back and better than ever. On Sunday night, the singer performed her new single "Chained to the Rhythm" during the Grammy Awards. While the catchy beat certainly made us want to get up and dance, it was her politically charged message that was particularly moving. After singing about living in a world of ignorance, she ended her performance with a powerful display of the US Constitution. Of course, her message was met with a rupture of applause from the audience, including her friend Rihanna, who cheered from the crowd.
Little Big Town's Katy Perry Cover Is Pop-Country GOLD
Little Big Town wasn't scheduled to perform at the Grammys, but they gave us the tiniest taste while introducing Katy Perry. The four-person country group took on a cover of one of Perry's first hits, "Teenage Dream," and damn it sounds good! We expect a full cover album ASAP.
What You Didn't Realize About David Bowie's Grammy Wins
David Bowie posthumously won all five of the Grammys he was nominated for on Sunday: best alternative music album, best rock song, best rock performance, best engineered album, non-classical, and best record packaging. Those awards are probably just tacked onto his long, long list of accolades from the Grammys, right? Nope. Bowie, who unexpectedly passed away in 2016, has only won one other Grammy: best video, short form, for Jazzin' for Blue Jean in 1985. Bowie also received the lifetime achievement award in 2006, possibly because the Recording Academy realized how he'd been cheated for his decades' worth of legendary music.
2017 is the first year Bowie won a Grammy in a purely musical category; not a visual one, and not a lifetime achievement. It's a shocking reality, and one that makes us wish he was alive to see all the success that Blackstar (released two days before his death) has earned.
How Beyoncé's Loss Echoes a History of Racism at the Grammys
In the Grammy Awards' 59-year history, only 11 black artists have won album of the year.
Watch Beyoncé's Gorgeous, Dreamlike Music Video For "Love Drought"
Because there's no such thing as too much Beyoncé, she not only released a new song with DJ Khaled immediately after the Grammys on Sunday night but also the music video for "Love Drought" from her Lemonade visual album. The video is what inspired her ethereal, dreamlike performance at the Grammys, featuring the same tilted-chair imagery that had the internet losing its mind. "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles" - the latter of which she also performed at the 59th annual music award show - are the most recent standalone videos she's released from Lemonade so far. In 2016, Beyoncé also shared "Daddy Lessons," "Sorry," "All Night," and "Hold Up" one by one over the course of a few months. Watch the video for "Love Drought" above.
Lukas Graham Enlisted Kelsea Ballerini For a Gorgeous Version of "7 Years"
If you've heard "7 Years" on the radio a million times and you're still not sick of it, then this performance is for you. Country up-and-comer Kelsea Ballerini joined Lukas Graham for a performance of his hit at the Grammys, and it's just plain gorgeous. Listen above!
Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban Singing "The Fighter" Will Get You Through Anything
Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban need to get it together and become the modern Donny and Marie already (only, you know, not related). They sound so good together, as evidenced by their performance of "The Fighter" at the Grammys on Sunday. Take a look!
Demi Lovato and Tori Kelly's Bee Gees Tribute Is Kiiind of Legendary, You Guys
The Grammys Pay Tribute To The Bee Gees by videosuploaded
On Sunday, Demi Lovato (rocking a crazy-cool look), Tori Kelly, Little Big Town, and Andra Day came together to pay tribute to one of the greatest musical acts of all time (yeah, I said it), the Bee Gees. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Fever and its legendary soundtrack, and the medley proves that some of those songs, like "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Stayin' Alive," will always be in style . . . unlike John Travolta's white disco suit.
14 Memes About Chicken Nuggets That Will Speak to Your Fast-Food-Loving Soul
While some people might love a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day, others just really want some chicken nuggets. The reason is a no-brainer: chicken nuggets are delicious, smell great, and are a great snack to eat while you're watching Netflix. We're not the only ones who think this, either! Two different girlfriends received bouquets of chicken nuggets from their boyfriends because that was the way to their hearts. The internet's love of chicken nuggets now runs so deep that memes about it are everywhere. See some of the funniest ones ahead - they'll warm your heart (or just make your stomach growl with hunger).
James Corden Stumbles His Way Through His Grammys Opener - Literally
James Corden started things off on the wrong foot when he hosted the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. During his opening number, the Late Late Show host took quite the tumble as he walked down the grand staircase. Of course, he quickly dusted himself off and gave a hilarious rap about some of the night's biggest stars. Not only did he give a shout-out to Adele's incredible performance, but he also poked a little fun at nominees Rihanna and Drake's on-again, off-again relationship. See how it all goes down (pun intended) above.

Few musicians can follow a knockout performance from Adele, but the Grammys made the excellent choice of scheduling a performance from The Weeknd and Daft Punk right after her, a combination that ended up being purely electric. Although they sadly didn't have a Stranger Things theme, their futuristic, Tron-esque set ended up being the perfect backdrop for The Weeknd's latest hit, "I Feel It Coming." All in all, a pretty great start to an already exciting night!
Chance the Rapper Wins Best New Artist, Refuses to Leave the Grammys Stage
Chance the Rapper took home the Grammy for best rap performance before the show even started, and when he won the first televised award of the night, best new artist, he used his stage time well. And by "well," I mean he refused to get played off by the music, opting to speak to the audience about the importance of God and freedom.
Blue Ivy May Only Be 5, but You Can Already Count On Her to Steal the Show
Little miss Blue Ivy Carter had one hell of a night at Sunday's Grammys. Not only did she make her presence known during James Corden's star-studded Carpool Karaoke session, but she managed to steal the show all from the comfort of her seat. Because of her adorable antics and undeniable cuteness, Blue has given us several memorable moments to obsess over throughout the past few years. Today, we're taking a walk down memory lane and looking back at Blue's best award show moments.

The New Oscar de la Renta Might Just Give You Chills
Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim's first act as creative directors of Oscar de la Renta was presenting their collections in tandem for Fall '17. First, they showed Monse, then immediately their first looks for Oscar de la Renta followed without intermission. It was a bold alternative to business as usual, especially for the ODLR customer; but it was also just a precursor to a whole lineup of new alternatives.
Titus Pays Homage to Beyoncé in the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 3 Teaser
OK, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fans, get in formation, because the season three teaser is finally here! Following Beyoncé's showstopping Grammys appearance on Sunday night, Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess) is kicking off the new season the best way he knows how, with some sweet, sweet lemonade. His black-and-white version of "Sorry" is pretty hilarious, and his version of "Hold Up" - not to mention his killer outfit - is a force to be reckoned with.

If The Walking Dead Followed the Comics More Closely, Morgan Would Be Dead

With a name like The Walking Dead, it should come as no surprise that AMC's zombie apocalypse drama features quite a few grisly deaths. In the first half of season seven alone, we saw the tragic murders of Glenn and Abraham, plus two more in the midseason finale. And with the comic books serving as source material for the TV show, we have hints about the fates of future characters like the charismatic King Ezekiel and the awful villain Negan. You know what we also have, thanks to the comics? Knowledge of deaths that could've happened but never did. And Morgan is one of them.
Morgan's story plays out in the comic books much like it does in the TV show with a couple tweaks here and there. Rick encounters him in the very first issue and leaves him as he heads into Atlanta. Much like the show, some time passes before they meet again. Rick is leading a group on a supply run to his old police station and Morgan intercepts them. He's gone a bit crazy over the loss of his son and clearly has lost partial grip on reality. Here's where things veer off, just a bit.
As you know, Rick and the gang leave Morgan behind in the TV show. Morgan eventually sets off by himself. He encounters that man who teaches him empathy and those wicked bo staff skills, and then he finds his way to Alexandria by following Rick's trail of clues. In the comic books, Morgan simply goes with the group that second time around and lands in Alexandria anyway. The comic book version of the character still seems to be deeply troubled by his tumultuous experiences, while the TV version seems to have reached a point of zen.
There's one other huge thing to note about Morgan's story. In the comic books, he sleeps with Michonne. He winds up insisting that he's not attracted to Michonne in that way, and he's still just hurting from the loss of his wife. In fact, even though she's long gone, Morgan still feels guilty and like he's committed infidelity. In the TV show, Rick shacks up with Michonne. And this isn't just any fling: they've grown this part of their relationship, they sleep together, and for all intents and purposes, they're a couple.

And then there's Morgan's death. As you might recall, there's a point where Alexandria's wall gets breached and the community gets overrun by walkers. While the TV Morgan makes it through this, the comic books aren't quite as forgiving. Morgan gets bitten on the arm, and Michonne quickly amputates it with her kitana before the infection spreads. Morgan is taken to the infirmary, and Denise patches him up. Tragically, though, he doesn't survive. During a conversation with Michonne, she realizes he's gone and kills him to stop his walker transformation.
As for the TV show? Morgan is still kicking. At the end of season six, Morgan sets off to follow Carol, who has left Alexandria. The two of them inadvertently end up in the Kingdom, and while Morgan seems to be settling in, Carol is antsy to leave. There are a few small hints that a romance might be blooming between Carol and Morgan. Then again, there are also hints she might end up with King Ezekiel. Looks like only time will tell.

The Meaning Behind Chance the Rapper's Signature "3" Caps

Chance the Rapper's rise to fame has been exciting and inspiring to watch; in 2016, the 23-year-old Chicago native released Coloring Book, his third independent mixtape, which was streamed 57.3 million times on Apple Music in its first week. Just this month, Chance also took home three Grammy awards for best new artist, best rap album, and best rap performance. His time in the spotlight has brought about lots of interest in his life as well as a major question about his style. In addition to rocking skinny overalls and pastel-colored suits, Chance has become known for a signature accessory: baseball caps emblazoned with the number three. So, what's the meaning behind them?

Chance has been vocal about his love for baseball caps, saying, "I used to always rock a cap when I was in high school and get them taken away. After they gave back a few caps to other kids, they would just give me the box because the rest were all my hats." When asked why he's been rocking the number three on his head, the answer was pretty simple. "I just thought that that made the most sense because it was [my] third project," he told GQ, adding, "Since then, I've rationalized it to myself that it stands for the third mixtape, the Holy Trinity, and the three-pronged family of myself, my daughter, and my girl."
In 2011, Chance recorded his first mixtape, 10 Day, while serving a ten-day suspension from Jones College Prep High School in Chicago. He released his second offering, Acid Rap, in April 2013 and caught the attention of label execs, music critics, and the BET Hip Hop Awards, where it was nominated for best mixtape. His third project, the soulful, celebratory Coloring Book, dropped in May 2016 to widespread acclaim - and Chance's star (and accessory) has been steadily on the rise ever since.
Now you know! And now you can buy your own "3" cap to wear while bouncing around to "No Problem."

2 Chainz Didn't Remember That The Bachelor's Corinne Was in His Music Video
Even 2 Chainz had no idea what The Bachelor's Corinne Olympios was doing in his music video. https://t.co/tPxugwmqKt http://pic.twitter.com/ZQnnGxSiGz
— E! News (@enews) February 13, 2017
Once upon a time, Corinne Olympios, beloved villain on The Bachelor, starred in a 2 Chainz video. (Maybe her multimillion-dollar business wasn't paying the bills?) While the video is a few years old, it recently resurfaced because of Corinne's role on the reality show, and E! took advantage of the opportunity to ask 2 Chainz about it on the Grammys red carpet. Not only did he not remember her, his official response to watching her in the video was, "What's she doing? Is she OK?" I don't know why this is so funny, but I can't stop watching.
Things Got a Little Naughty Between Chrissy Teigen and John Legend at the Grammys
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are no strangers to showing PDA, and things got steamy between the couple on the Grammys red carpet in LA on Sunday. While posing for photos, Chrissy put some sexy moves on display for her man, who danced behind her for a bit before letting out a laugh. Chrissy clearly had fun during their parents' night out, as evidenced by the hilarious drunk Snapchats she posted after getting home from the award show; in one clip, Chrissy asks John for help taking off her jewelry, cooing, "Are you mad at me?" John, the world's perfect husband, lovingly replies, "Why would I be mad at you? You're perfect."
Yeah, we can't with them.
