Tom Hiddleston Has Never Looked Better Than He Does in Kong
The reviews for Kong: Skull Island are in, and so far they're glowing. The movie is being praised for its action-packed plot, the crazy post-credits scene, and King Kong in all of his massive, CGI glory, but there's one thing I have yet to see get the attention it deserves: Tom Hiddleston's t-shirt.
As tracker James Conrad, he spends much of the movie kneeling down to examine broken underbrush, eluding King Kong, and rolling through the dirt to escape giant, underground lizard monsters who want to rip him limb from limb. In other words, a typical day at the office. But his greatest asset is not his gun. It's not even the Samurai sword he uses to slice his way through a flock of razor-beaked birds. It's his plain, gloriously tight, gray-blue t-shirt. To put it simply, he looks good as hell. Possibly better than he does in a suit, which is really saying something.
I don't know how it magically stays perfectly tucked in, or what exactly it is about it that has inspired this obsession, but as a reward for you taking the time to read about this important, high-priority matter, please enjoy the next 17 photos of him and his t-shirt in action.
Hillary Clinton's Powerful Red Pantsuit Was No Accident
Hillary Clinton pays careful attention to the color of her pantsuits. She wore purple the day she delivered her concession speech to signify unity between the Democratic and Republican parties and a white Ralph Lauren suit on Inauguration Day to pay homage to women suffragists.
For a special Girls Inc. luncheon, Hillary chose a bright red pantsuit. Not only was red the color of the organization, but it also honored the Day Without a Woman initiative. Red is the color women are encouraged to wear to signify solidarity for International Women's Day.
As she gave a speech about empowering girls, Hillary looked both confident and spirited. She even styled a rainbow button-down underneath her suit, which painted the picture of diversity and inclusion of all groups. Read on to see Hillary Clinton's powerful pantsuit.
Teen Is Shamed For Having "Too Much Food" in Her Lunchbox
Once a child is in high school, it's fair to assume that they're making quite a few of their own decisions when it comes to the food they're putting into their bodies - even though they're probably not always going to be the healthiest decisions. However, one teen who is making what most people would agree are fairly healthy decisions was shamed by her school for having "too much food" in her lunchbox.
Her mom, who goes by "LemonDrizzleDisco" on Mumsnet, shared with other users that her daughter's high school started screening the students' lunchboxes, and that her child - who is a vegan - was told she's packing too much food. "[My daughter's] secondary school has started checking all the packed lunches," the mom wrote. "I know lots of secondary school students eat sweets and chocolate, etc. on the way to school, but surely at that age It's their choice."
However, rather than sweets, soda, or junk food, her daughter had a fairly healthy lunch packed that day: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread, a small banana, strawberries, a few grapes, and less than a handful of dried coconut flakes and raisins.
"The canteen serves things like sausages and mash, cake and custard, sandwiches, and doughnuts, etc," she wrote. "[Am I being unreasonable] to think this is unfair?" The mom also wrote in a comment on her own post that her daughter "got told off for having a few pieces of sliced up avocado because it's 'unhealthy.'"
Most commenters on the thread seem to agree that the school is being a little ridiculous and hypocritical, considering their offerings for lunches. "That sounds insane," one commenter wrote. "That sort of behavior is more likely to do harm than good, isn't it?" Another user was specifically concerned with the avocado-shaming: "I would have an issue with someone teaching my child that avocado is unhealthy. For f*ck's sake."
The frustrated mom says she's definitely going to send a "strongly-worded note" to the school on her daughter's behalf. "[My daughter] is nowhere near overweight, and even if she was, surely it's not up to the form tutor to be telling her she has too much lunch in front of the class," she wrote. She then shared in a comment the aforementioned note she would send to the school.
Unless you are able to provide the nutritional information of school dinners or an alternative to avocado, for [my daughter] who is vegan, I will not be changing what she has for lunch. I would appreciate if you do not make comments on [her] healthy lunch because telling a teenage girl that she has "too much" lunch is far from healthy.
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris First Met and Fell in Love in the '80s - Well, Sort Of
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have been bringing joy to our lives for years now with their adorable relationship, sweet red carpet moments, and normal family life with their son, Jack. But if you can even fathom it, there was once a time when they did not exist as a couple. The pair first met in 2007 on the set of Take Me Home Tonight, a movie set in the '80s about a recent college graduate (Topher Grace) who has no idea what he wants to do with his life. After attending a Labor Day party in his hometown, he tries to win over his high school crush (Teresa Palmer) and prove that he can make decisions for his future.
Anna plays Topher's twin sister, while Chris plays her onscreen boyfriend-turned-fiancé-turned-ex. While things didn't work out for their characters, the two fell in love on set. "This is a pretty spectacular moment for us, to be able to come to this movie that we met on and fell in love making," Chris said at the film's 2011 premiere (it was delayed for years due to scenes showing heavy cocaine use among young adults). It's also worth noting that Anna was still married to her first husband, actor Ben Indra, when filming began in February 2007, but Chris admitted that he didn't make a move until after she filed for divorce that April. And the rest is history!

The cake is often one of the most anticipated parts of a wedding reception, and the pre-nuptial tasting one of the most fun parts of planning for the bride and groom.

1 Plastic Surgeon Admitted: "If a Person Is Unhappy or Negative, Surgery Won't Fix That"
In a world where we're surrounded by face-smoothing photo-editing apps and flawless celebrity photos, it's almost impossible not to wonder if you should take the plunge and go under the knife as well. Dr. Benjamin Stong, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, just spilled all the information you've secretly been googling about cosmetic procedures in a Reddit AMA.
Dr. Stong said he has "performed thousands of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries and procedures on the face, head, and neck." During the AMA, he touched on skin-tightening procedures, the future of surgery, and, of course, Botox. Keep reading to learn more about the world of cosmetic surgery.
What's the Secret to Looking Young?
One woman - who can afford relatively pricey treatments - asked him the secret to keeping her youthful glow. "Well, Botox, no downtime lasers, microneedling, and skin care are the best starting points because they effect permanent changes over time to the skin and can delay the need for more aggressive procedures later in life," Dr. Stong said. "Fillers can be added to change the shape of features such as the lips and cheeks, although they do not provide protective long term benefits to the skins. Over the counter products from department stores are largely useless and a waste of your money."
This has been a topic of conversation for a while, but what age does he suggest starting Botox? "I don't judge whatsoever, but I do also tell patients that one can legally sign consent for Botox at 18 years old," he noted. "If we were able to perform a split study on the face, with one half getting Botox and the other not, we would see significant differences over decades. So, in short, the earlier the better."
Do Skin-Tightening Procedures Really Work?
When one user asked Dr. Stong which procedure he does that "isn't really worth doing," he had one answer: skin tightening. "Most skin tightening devices don't work well," he said. "A few out there are worth while. I'm looking at adding a fat reduction device and skin tightening. . . it's just such an evolving field. There are basically two types [of skin-tightening procedures]: Radio frequency (RF) and Ultrasound (Ulthera). I am looking at microneedling RF devices to do no downtime face and neck lifts."
What Happens When It's an Issue of Self-Esteem?
Maybe it's the pressure from social media to look a certain way, or maybe it's that celebrities have access to treatments that us regular folk don't, but how does Dr. Stong know when a patient actually needs surgery or it is an issue of self-esteem? "Well, I tell patients all the time that they should only choose cosmetic procedures for themselves and absolutely no one else," he explained. "I also have come to believe that the patients frame of mind prior to surgery correlates to recovery. My patients that have sailed through recovery were generally very positive, well adjusted people. If a person is unhappy or negative, surgery won't fix that and it certainly seems to make for a harder recovery for the individual."
Dr. Stong added: "In general, I am a technician. If I believe the issue can be fixed, I will offer the procedure. I certainly have no interest in being a psychiatrist with a knife."
What Will the Future Bring?
With all the mind-blowing advancements going on in technology and more specifically in the medical world, one user wanted to know which treatment Dr. Stong was most excited about, and as a facial plastic surgeon, it makes perfect sense. "Stem Cells to regrow hair," he said. "I generally think stem cells would be very beneficial to many disciplines in medicine if we had better access to high quality stem cells."

How the New Beauty and the Beast Movie Changed the Story
Warning: Spoilers follow!
You have to anticipate that with a tale as old as time, some details may change between iterations. Though they're both Disney films, the new Beauty and the Beast movie has proven to be quite different than the animated version from 1992. Entertainment Weekly revealed the first look at the 2017 film in November, providing the first insight into what's different about the story. Now that we've seen the film, here are the biggest changes we noticed!
- Belle is an inventor. "In the animated movie, it's her father who is the inventor, and we actually co-opted that for Belle," star Emma Watson told EW. "I was like, 'Well, there was never very much information or detail at the beginning of the story as to why Belle didn't fit in, other than she liked books. Also what is she doing with her time?' So, we created a backstory for her, which was that she had invented a kind of washing machine, so that, instead of doing laundry, she could sit and use that time to read instead. So, yeah, we made Belle an inventor."
- Belle's father is a music-box maker. "Kevin Kline as Maurice, is making all these music boxes that have to tell the story of Belle not traveling," Katie Spencer, the set director, said. "She's overprotected in a way, by her father, because she's lost her mother. So, we've made all these music boxes that represent different countries of the world, so she can see what she's missing."
- Belle and the Beast get backstories. While Belle doesn't get much of a biography in the animated film, Watson's Belle is much more fleshed out. As we learn throughout the movie, she was born in Paris but had to flee with her father because the plague was sweeping the city. (RIP, Belle's mom.) Meanwhile, there's much more of an emphasis on the Beast's background; he also loses his mother as a child, but his father is far less caring than Maurice.
- The Enchantress plays a bigger part. The original film does feature an enchantress cursing the prince for not giving her shelter, but the woman is much more present in the new film, appearing several times.
- The staff is more affected by the curse. This time around, not only have the staff been turned into household objects, they're slowly losing their humanity more and more each day. Even before the final rose petal hits the floor, they hardly have an human characteristics left.
- LeFou is gay. Yes, LeFou is obsessed with Gaston in the original, but director Bill Condon confirmed that LeFou is definitely gay in the new film. He went on to say there is an "exclusively gay moment," but we were pretty underwhelmed by it.

Are Egg Whites Healthier Than Egg Yolks?
Chock-full of protein, eggs are a quick and easy way to get this essential nutrient anytime of the day. From omelets in the morning to quiche at night, you may be shying away from the yolks to save calories and cholesterol. The yolk may contain all the fat, but it also contains most of the vitamins and nutrients. Take a look at the comparison below to see what you may be missing when you only eat the whites.
1 egg white | 1 egg yolk | 1 whole egg | |
---|---|---|---|
Calories | 16 | 54 | 71 |
Total fat (g) | 0 | 5 | 5 |
Saturated fat (g) | 0 | 2 | 2 |
Cholesterol (mg) | 0 | 211 | 211 |
Sodium (mg) | 55 | 8 | 70 |
Carbs (g) | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Fiber (g) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Sugars (g) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Protein (g) | 4 | 3 | 6 |
Vitamin A (IU) | 0 | 244 | 244 |
Vitamin B12 (mcg) | 0 | 0.3 | 0.6 |
Vitamin D (IU) | 0 | 18.2 | 17.5 |
Calcium (mg) | 2.3 | 21.9 | 26.5 |
Folate (mcg) | 1.3 | 24.8 | 23.5 |
Potassium (g) | 53.8 | 18.5 | 67 |
Selenium (mcg) | 6.6 | 9.5 | 15.8 |
Omega-3s (mg) | 0 | 38.8 | 37 |
The yolks are where it's at if you're looking to up your intake of vitamins A, B12, and D, as well as your daily calcium, folate, and omega-3s. If it's cholesterol you're worried about, the recommended limit is about 300 mg a day. That means you could enjoy an egg a day if you wanted to, but it's important to be mindful about how much meat, cheese, and other dairy products you eat during the rest of the day.

Dealing With Anxiety as a Mom
The following post was originally featured on Along Abbey Road and written by Abbey R., who is a part of POPSUGAR Select Moms.
Anxiety wears many hats in my world. Some days it decides to show up when I am hanging out with a group of friends, consuming my mind with feelings of doubt and insecurity. Then other times it takes hold of my body and plants a nasty, knotted tangle of black weeds in my stomach, which rise through my chest, practically suffocating me and resulting in a panic attack. And then there is the sporadic day where everything seems doomed and I am stricken with worry but I can't quite pinpoint the reason for it.
All of these situations are irrational, but very real to me. Unfortunately, they get the best of me every now and then.
The real stink of it all is when an episode strikes and it feels as if there is a looming sky of concrete waiting to crush me. All of those panicky, stone demons are simply waiting to pounce and knock me to the ground. I run as fast as I can, my heart pounding in my ears, but it seems to catch me. It will crack into my blind side, just as I thought I had finally outrun it.
So, how does this relate to me as a mother?
Well, it's frightening and debilitating. I can hardly stand being inside my own head, let alone having the pleading and needy voices of two small children making it a discordant trio. I have to fight back tears, and put on the show of bravery for them, although that armor sometimes cracks, too.
Just the other day, I was lying in bed crying. The anxiety was hot in my chest and the only way to release some of its venom was through those tears. I heard Luke's footsteps echo through the hallway to our bedroom door. "Mommy, you sad?" he said. I replied, "Yes, sweetie. Sometimes mommies get sad." He climbed up next to me with an uneasy and curious look on his face. "Don't cry - that's for babies!" And with that he slid down and jetted out of the room.
Admittedly, I couldn't help but get a good chuckle out of his simple consolation. It felt like a droplet of a precious antidote to calm my racing and worried mind.
My other concern with anxiety is of the social variety. I have had a moderate case of social anxiety my entire life. Some seasons it is almost nonexistent where I can carry on my normal daily routines; other periods it is absolutely crippling and can interfere with the health of my social life and mental and physical state.
The root of social anxiety is an intense fear of judgment or criticism from others. I constantly battle with myself in thinking, Abbey, why does it matter what other people think? Be yourself. If people don't like you for who you are then you don't need them in your life. You can't please everybody. Get over it and do your thing.
But my fears of criticism from others can reach into an extreme and irrational plane. I get major butterflies when I have to talk on the phone. Meeting new people scares the hell out of me. (I am positive they are just going to think I am the weirdest and most awkward person, EVER.) Don't even ask me to speak in public - I cannot think about anything else or eat for weeks. Most social events sound like torture unless I can bring a trusted friend with whom I feel safe. There are even times when I get nervous and fidgety out of the blue while simply hanging out with good friends. Sometimes I get really weird about eating around people and feel like I can't swallow my food, or I get panicky while I am driving. The main symptom that made me finally come to the realization that I suffer from social anxiety is the urge to urinate when I am in situations that make me uncomfortable. I get hot and flustered and then it is this horrifying tingling sensation that I am on the verge of peeing my pants, which then makes me even more anxious and agitated.
Because of these things, I tend to overly avoid social situations. Before I had kids, I hardly ever went to anything without Matt and he usually had to drag me like a stubborn dog on a leash. But, having kids changed things. I have to get out of my comfort zone for the well-being of Luke and Wes. I want them to be socially comfortable and confident in who they are. So far, it seems like they are on the right path with warm and engaging personalities.
Obviously, forcing myself into social situations has made it easier to interact with people. But again, WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH? WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO SCARED? It boggles my mind. I've been to therapy on and off. I have tried my hand at anti-depressants, but all of that medication makes me feel like a soulless robot. I would rather live in the deepest despair and feel something than live in a chemical-induced haze with no real emotion.
I also have this theory that people who are extremely active on social media have some degree of anxiety or shyness. It's the perfect world for us introverted, social phobics. There is still connection, but no unnerving small talk or having to worry about how we physically present ourselves. I can have meaningful conversations in the comfort of my own idiosyncrasies. And if I am obsessing over something I said, I can go delete or edit it! (Why, oh why can't life have an edit button?!) Obviously, this isn't entirely true because I have - ironically - met plenty of friendly and extroverted social media enthusiasts. But I still like to think it is. ;)
I guess what I am getting at here is that I kind of have some serious issues, but I am learning to overcome them. It is imperative that I do it for my boys and myself. I try to focus on the happy and the positive because I want my life to reflect those attributes. I go to therapy, I try to exercise and get adequate sleep, and generally try to avoid excessive amounts of caffeine. I also have the most supportive and encouraging husband on the planet. The combination of those lifestyle habits and a good support system generally keeps my anxiety under control, and if I am having issues, it is usually triggered by one of those things being out of sync.
While I struggle with anxiety and depression, they don't need to define who I am as a person. That is important for me to remember. I AM NOT MY ANXIETY. Those little voices in my head telling me that other people think I am weird/annoying/awkward/unlikable are generally an assumption made up in my head. And even if certain people do have that view of me, it doesn't matter! I feel like it's a good time to cue Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations . . . "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!" (Laughter is the best medicine!)
But in all seriousness, here is my ending declaration: Let's recognize our self worth and believe in our talents and capabilities. Let's have more courage and gratitude. Let's all try to be more kind and gentle with ourselves. Let's love ourselves for who we are.
11 Times Elena From One Day at a Time Was Our Hero
Elena from Netflix's One Day at a Time is one woke young woman who isn't afraid to speak her truth. In the first season of the series, the 15-year-old, played by Isabella Gomez, had so many relatable moments - not only because she was so open about her life as a lesbian Latina, but because she certainly didn't believe you need to be asked your opinion before giving it.
If you don't already adore Elena, the moments ahead where Elena was the queen of #keepingitreal will make you itch for season two.
What It's Really Like at Fashion Week, From Someone Who Just Went
For my 19th birthday, my uncle surprised me with a ticket to Erin Fetherston's Fall 2008 show. This happened at the height of my obsession with fashion magazines and I vividly remember taking photos outside of the Bryant Park tents to document my New York Fashion Week arrival. I had no shame as a high schooler! As the outfits came down the runway, my uncle, who worked in Fetherston's showroom, explained the techniques and the time it took to create the dresses, tops, and pants. I listened and watched the show in awe. Here I was witnessing a designer's creations firsthand instead of just reading about it. To me, that was the most exciting part - getting that behind-the-scenes glimpse. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the collection and everything that goes into it.
Fast-forward years later to my first New York Fashion Week as an assistant fashion editor. Though I still had that same feeling of naivete and pure joy as I did years ago, this time around I came at NYFW as a member of the industry. I was eager for shows like Christian Siriano (who I've followed since Project Runway) and Marchesa (my future pick for a wedding dress) because of what I had already seen and read. To experience their collections in person was just icing on the cake, and with several shows on my list, the only thing left to do was plan my outfits.
Admittedly, that part was what I was most worried about. After seeing seasons of amazing street style, my wardrobe options felt a little lackluster. Luckily, I didn't have to go far in search of some inspiration. (I had just finished our 31-day styling hacks challenge and that kept my creative juices flowing.) With my outfits planned, I felt ready for the shows and to report back everything I had witnessed.
Read on to see what Fashion Week was really like, from someone who just went. Spoiler alert: it really was the best seven days of my whole month.

Hack to Steal: 8-Minute Poached Chicken in an Instant Pot
There's so much to love about the Instant Pot, including this quick hack for poaching chicken in less than 10 minutes. Poaching chicken over the stovetop usually takes around 20-30 minutes, so this is a significant time slasher.
Here's the method:
- Fill the Instant Pot a little less than 2/3 full with boneless, skinless chicken. Cover with chicken broth. Add a few cloves of garlic, a few bay leaves, or a sprig of thyme (optional). Do not allow the liquid to exceed the 2/3-full mark. Close the lid as the manual instructs, making sure the pressure release handle is secured in the sealed position.
- Press the [Manual] button and use the [+] or [-] buttons to choose 8 minutes of cook time. Once the Instant Pot has finished the cook time, unplug it. Use the "Quick Release" method of opening the cooker by carefully turning the pressure release handle to the "venting" position to let out steam until the float valve drops down. Carefully open the lid.
- Remove chicken breasts and place on a cutting board. Shred using two forks or in a stand-up mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Return the chicken to the broth and use as a soup base or keep chicken and broth separated, reserving them for other uses.

Finding the Pot o' Gold: A St. Patrick's Day Party Filled With Treats For All
We love any excuse for a party, and St. Patrick's Day is no exception. Though most St. Paddy's Day celebrations involve green beer, Irish soda bread, and some form of corned beef, it wouldn't be a real party without cupcakes, shamrock cookies, and a few leprechauns.
That's the same philosophy Jenny Keller had when she planned a neighborhood St. Patrick's Day party in her local park. After several days of rain - she is located outside Seattle, after all - the driving force between Jenny Cookies (who also threw that amazing Cinderella party) knew there had to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. After whipping up some green-themed snacks and sweets, she set the kids free to find hidden treasures around the park. Read on to see all the details of this fun and festive afternoon party.

Alessandra Ambrosio's Bride-Squad 1-Piece Is Perfection - and You'll Want It So Badly
Alessandra Ambrosio is wearing the swimsuit every bridal party spending time by the pool or the beach will want immediately! The Brazilian beauty, who spent a few bikini-clad days in Ibiza with her family during the Summer of 2016, was in Mykonos days later to celebrate the wedding of fellow model Ana Beatriz Barros to Egyptian businessman Karim El Chiaty. To kick off the celebration the day before the nuptials with a little relaxing time by the cliffs of the beautiful Greek island, the bridesmaids went all out in matching bride-squad black one-pieces featuring a superlow back and a cute puckered-lip print.
In a series of adorable photos posted by the bride, her friends, and Alessandra, we see the squad sexily posing in their cute bridal party attire reminiscent of Hailey Baldwin's "Just Married" swimwear - don't freak, she's not actually married. Though Alessandra's swimwear seems to be custom made for the occasion by her own brand, Alé by Alessandra, look ahead to see more photos of the look and find a few suggestions for similar pieces.

The 1 Change Prince William and Kate Middleton Made to Their Wedding Vows
Prince William and Kate Middleton said their "I dos" in a gorgeous ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London in April 2011. There were so many beautiful moments to behold from their big day, but one that really had us in tears was when the couple recited their wedding vows. While Will and Kate exchanged traditional wedding vows from the Book of Common Prayer, they made one slight tweak - they removed the word "obey." The first royal bride to drop the word was William's late mother, Princess Diana, who omitted it when she married Prince Charles in 1981. Check out their wedding vows in full below.
Archbishop: "William Arthur Philip Louis, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together according to God's law in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"
Prince William: "I will."
Archbishop to Catherine: "Catherine Elizabeth, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together according to God's law in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
Kate Middleton: "I will."
Archbishop: "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?"
PW: "I, William Arthur Philip Louis, take thee, Catherine Elizabeth to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my troth."
KM: "I, Catherine Elizabeth, take thee, William Arthur Philip Louis, to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my troth."
Archbishop: "Bless, O Lord, this ring, and grant that he who gives it and she who shall wear it may remain faithful to each other, and abide in thy peace and favor, and live together in love until their lives' end. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
PW: "With this ring I thee wed; with my body I thee honor; and all my worldly goods with thee I share: in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."
Archbishop: "Let us pray. O Eternal God, Creator, and Preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, the author of everlasting life: send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name; that, living faithfully together, they may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, whereof this ring given and received is a token and pledge; and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder.For as much as William and Catherine have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth either to other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a ring, and by joining of hands; I pronounce that they be man and wife together, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favor look upon you; and so fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace, that ye may so live together in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting. Amen."

Here's When You Can Get Your Hands On a Free Cupcake From Walmart (Just Because!)
Walmart wants to give you a free cupcake, just because! The company is having a huge birthday celebration to celebrate anyone having a birthday on March 12, or anyone who just really wants a cupcake, regardless of birth date (so basically, everyone on earth). On Sunday, March 12, from 12-4 p.m., all you have to do is show up to a Walmart - Supercenter locations only - and a totally free cupcake is yours. You can choose between vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with either white buttercream or whipped icing, and we'd recommend showing up earlier than later to beat the mad rush. A Walmart spokesperson told us in an email, "In total, the company expects to giveaway nearly 3 million cupcakes in one single day." In addition to all the restaurants that offer birthday freebies, this is a true reason to celebrate.

You'll Light Up the Night When You Try This Neon Eyeliner Trend From Instagram
We're suckers for an amazing new eyeliner idea, from pizza to mermaid, and not forgetting unicorn liner. Our current obsession is neon eyeliner, and it will make you do a double take, because it is seriously vibrant!
Instagram is never lacking for creativity and incredible talent, but these neon eyeliner (and lip art) looks are on another level of 3D makeup skills. To achieve this bold look, makeup artists have used a bright white or silver as the main liner focus, followed with a bright-colored liner or shadow on either side which has been buffed out and blended fully into a smoky eye. Usually created with a black smoky eye to increase the lightsaber-glow factor, it is seriously cool. One makeup artist, Luna aka @Openmindfreesoul, took the trend to another level by creating a bright pink neon skeleton.
There are no words to describe the skill - scroll through and see for yourself!
Dan Stevens Is 1 Sexy Beast and It's Time We Acknowledge It
Dan Stevens is perhaps best known for playing Downton Abbey's lovable (but not exactly sexy) leading man Matthew Crawley, but a lot has changed since he left the show in 2012. Since then, the 34-year-old English actor has been focusing on his Hollywood film career and is set to play the coveted role of the Beast in Disney's new, live-action take on Beauty and the Beast. This will likely introduce us to a whole new side of Dan, and in real life he's also had a very noticeable transformation since his Downton days - shedding his softer, more posh look to become a scruffy, messy-haired hottie. Keep reading to see how Dan has changed over the years.
Every Single Naked Dress Jennifer Lopez Has Worn Since 1997
You might think that Jennifer Lopez's streak of dresses with necklines down to her belly button and slits up to her thighs started with that famous Versace green dress she wore to the Grammys in the '90s, but let us tell you that after intense research, we've come to the conclusion the naked dress trend was started by J Lo much, much earlier.
The singer and actress was truly the pioneer of the barely there dress that has now invaded the red carpet, starting with no backs in 1997 and ending most recently with sheer gowns and jumpsuits that leave little to the imagination. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is every single naked dress (yes, every single one!) that J Lo has graced us with.

Reese's Basically Stuffs Oreos in Its Newest Peanut Butter Cups!
It's confirmed: Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cup, a Reese's peanut butter cup with crunchy, chocolate cookie bits, will officially hit store shelves in May. The new flavor comes in a standard two-cup size ($1) and king two-cup Big Cup size ($2). If you look closely, the cookie bits resemble the same ones used in the beloved Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme bars, and we're hoping it tastes just like Oreos! This almost seems like an inverse of the Reese's-flavored Oreos that came out in 2014. Last year, we tried and adored Reese's Stuffed With Pieces, so this cookie cup definitely feels like a follow-up that has a ton of potential to be tasty!

Blake and Robyn Lively Have the Sweetest Sisterhood, and Nothing Can Top That
There are a lot of things we love about Blake Lively (her fashion sense, her adorable daughters, her romance with husband Ryan Reynolds), but one of our favorites is her silly and sweet bond with her older sister, Robyn. The two, who are also incredibly close with their sister Lori, have never been shy about flaunting their sisterhood. From Blake channeling Robyn's iconic character in Teen Witch to them giving each other shout-outs on Instagram, we can never get enough of the Lively gals. Most recently, they laughed up a storm when they stepped out in New York City together in February. In our opinion, nothing can "Top That" (Sorry, had to).

Did Eugene Inadvertently Cause The Walking Dead's Zombie Apocalypse?
Negan has taken Eugene hostage on The Walking Dead. On a recent episode, Negan tries the "nice guy" route with his new prisoner; he gives Eugene a great room, video games, and all the pickles he could possibly want. In this episode, Eugene also repeats an old lie he once used on Abraham and Rosita: he tells Negan that he had been a scientist who was working on the Human Genome Project before the plague took over.
According to Eugene's story, his work involved weaponizing diseases to fight against other military forces who were doing the same thing. We learn this is a lie all the way back in season five, when Eugene tells Glenn, Maggie, Rosita, Tara, and Abraham that he's "not a scientist," that he "doesn't know how to stop it," and that he "just knows things." But what if some of his story is true? I think the one thing we can all agree on is that Eugene lies about a possible cure. It's the number one incentive driving Rick and the rest of the group to Washington DC, and that's Eugene's primary goal when we first meet him. Here's the thing, though: he also says he's a "very good liar," which means it's nearly impossible to tell what is and is not the truth.
So, here's a plausible theory: Eugene is a scientist, he did work on the Human Genome Project, and he was trying to weaponize diseases. Eugene's spiel is so specific, so detailed, and so believable, I have trouble accepting he conjured the whole story out of thin air. What's more, we know Eugene is a clumsy oaf (even if he's super smart). Is there a chance he somehow released the disease? In our previous investigation into the origin of the virus, we discovered that a small detail on Fear the Walking Dead suggests it's in the water, and that's why everyone has it.
What if by some tragic accident, a weaponized virus was let loose into the nation's (or world's) water sources, and it was Eugene's fault? Not only does it fit with his obvious skill set, but it might even explain why he's such an emotional disaster. Making such a deadly and catastrophic mistake could utterly shatter a person's emotional stability.
It's clear that Eugene has a pretty solid grasp on science and chemistry. You have to, at some point, chalk it up to more than him "knowing stuff." After all, he painlessly creates a poison pill, and he knows how to mix elements to create explosives and cause other chemical reactions. Consider this: it's one thing to admit you lied about a potential cure, but it's another to confess that you're somehow responsible for the entire apocalypse. That's something Eugene might never want to admit to another soul. We may never get an answer either way, but if this story is something that Eugene returns to over and over again, it's hard not to wonder if part of it is true.

Proof That Drew Barrymore and Daughter Frankie Are Twins
Drew Barrymore had an adorable date night on Tuesday when she took her 2-year-old daughter, Frankie, to the Society of MSK's Bunny Hop in New York City. While the Santa Clarita Diet star, who we've been obsessed with since the '90s, posed for photos with her little one on the red carpet, we couldn't help but notice how much Frankie looks like her famous mom. Since Drew grew up in the spotlight after her breakout role as Gertie in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, there are plenty of photos of the star as a young girl to look back on. Between their beautiful eyes and their little button noses, Drew and Frankie look so much alike (and we love it so much).
