People Are Obsessed With How Much This Baby Girl Looks Like Ed Sheeran
Ever since Ed Sheeran gained fame in 2011 with his debut album +, a long string of lookalikes of the British singer-songwriter have come forward. Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is one of them, as well as the young kid Ed cast in his "Castle on the Hill" music video, and another "twin" he met back in November 2012. All of them can take a seat, however, because Ed's true doppelgänger has revealed herself: 2-year-old Isla Walton.
Why does this baby look more like Ed Sheeran than Ed Sheeran does? http://pic.twitter.com/3I50d7yQlh
- Tom Davies 🌐 (@1TD) March 17, 2017
On March 17, Twitter user Tom Davies shared a photo of Isla, who is British like Ed, which went viral almost immediately (for obvious reasons). In an interview with The Sun, Isla's aunt, Stacey Walton, said that not only does her niece share a resemblance to the singer, but she's also a big fan of his music. "Everyone comments saying how she's a mini Ed, and I call her baby Sheeran," she said. "She loves his music, tries to sing along to the words and have a dance."
Isla's mom Zoe Walton, also found herself shocked by her daughter's instant fame, telling E! News "I can't believe how viral it has gone." Isla, who turns three in May, has yet to hear from Ed, but her mom has her fingers crossed that it will happen "hopefully one day." We thought no one would ever be able to top Baby Danny DeVito, but boy were we wrong.

If You Love Colin O'Donoghue, You Need to See His New Movie
Image Source: The Orchard
Colin O'Donoghue is well-known for his role as Captain Hook on Once Upon a Time, but now he's taking on a different literary character. The Irish actor stars in Carrie Pilby, the movie adaptation of Caren Lissner's best-selling novel about a 19-year-old genius who graduates early from Harvard and struggles to come into her own in the rambunctious city of New York. While his character, Professor Harrison, seems sweet and charming at first, his true colors are revealed when he starts a relationship with the title character. We had a chance to sit down with O'Donoghue ahead of the film's premiere and he talked about what it was like taking on the morally ambiguous character, the importance of women in film, and how appreciative he is for his fans' unwavering support. Warning: Light movie spoilers below!
POPSUGAR: What drew you to the script?
Colin O'Donoghue: I signed up early on. I got sent the script and pegged for it then. I work on a show called Once Upon a Time, so I really wanted to play somebody who was so completely different from the character that I play day in and day out for nine months of the year. It's also really rare that you get such a great script and a great character and a great cast that shoots in the period when I would be available, so I was really, really drawn to that.
PS: I feel like Professor Harrison is the complete opposite of Hook in that he starts off as the good guy and then becomes the bad guy, whereas Hook starts off as a villain and slowly morphs into a hero. What was that like playing a character who you know isn't going to be redeemable in the end?
CO: The thing was that I knew he was never going to be redeemable, so even when you think he's being a good guy, he's not. That was fun because I wanted people to feel like it might be genuine. As an actor, it's always important to play against the actuality of what you're doing. I didn't want it to feel like he was really sleazy with her; I didn't think that would work to get the payoff of really seeing what a nasty piece of work he is in the end. You need to believe that he's a decent enough guy and has real feelings. I've been lucky on Once with [Hook], because I've gotten to play so many different aspects of the character, but this is definitely different.
PS: The film is also getting a lot of praise for its largely female production team. What kind of message do you hope that sends?
CO: It's an important thing in cinematography in general to recognize and appreciate women in film. I grew up in Ireland, and it's not something I ever thought about until I came to work over here [in the United States]. I realized just how unequal it is. To have a movie like this, which is a really lovely film, entirely about this incredible woman and directed by Susan [Johnson], who is just an amazing director - it's a fantastic thing. But the fact that it's even a conversation blows my mind. That it's not just a given that it's just a movie about a character directed by a director, which is the way it should be. The fact that we have to qualify that is where the problem is. Women are brilliant, if not more brilliant, than men. It's about the quality of work that's produced as opposed to the sex of the person who produces it.
PS: I know a lot of Once Upon a Time fans in particular are eager to see you in this movie. What does that fan support mean to you?
CO: I'm blown away by the support. It amazes me because I became an actor, because it's really all I can do. It gave me an opportunity to be someone else for a while. I was a very shy and quiet person and it gave me an opportunity to come out of myself a little bit. I never expected to 1. actually get a job and 2. have fans who would just come and see something. To have that support is incredible. It's a testament more so to Once Upon a Time and the writers than to me. They managed to create a show that gives so many people so much hope. That's what the show is all about. Often times nowadays, shows try and be gritty – which is incredible, I love those types of shows as well – but it's nice to be a part of a show that's unapologetic about wanting to be a good show and show people that there's hope in the world.
Carrie Pilby will open in limited release on March 31, and will be available to stream on April 4.

1 Look at Demi Lovato's Style Will Convince You She Can Wear Anything
What do all of the outfits Demi Lovato has worn in 2017 have in common? Nothing. No, seriously. The "Body Say" singer has worn looks that run the gamut from super girly and princess-like to tough and futuristic, and she rocks them all well.
There's not a trend that looks out of place when Demi wears it, nor a dress that could be labeled to risky or sexy. It might have to do with the fact that Demi has the attitude and confidence to wear anything. "I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me. And it's okay to be selfish like that sometimes, when it comes to your well-being. Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think," Demi told Seventeen once in an interview. She's sure living by that motto! Scroll ahead to see what we mean.
These Are the Color-Correcting Tools You Didn't Know You Needed
Simply put, we're obsessed with the Beautyblender. Not only is it the best tool to blend and buff your foundation to perfection, but it can also be used to dye hair, remove deodorant stains, and apply skin care products (learn more Beautyblender hacks here).
Now the brand has come out with a limited-edition quartet of miniature sponges designed to assist you with today's hottest beauty trend: color correcting. The Beautyblender Micro Mini Correct Four ($30) were created specifically with this technique in mind, and thus are shaded with the main tints used when evening out a complexion. There's a green one for hiding redness, a yellow sponge for correcting under-eye circles, a purple tool to conceal sallowness, and a pink one to brighten pale complexions.
There are so many reasons to love these four tiny tools. Not only are they perfectly outfitted in the pastels of Spring, but because of their festive hues, using like-colored products on each one will keep them from looking super stained. Above all, the Beautyblender Micro Mini is just as efficient at smoothing, blending, and pressing powder and cream formulas into skin as its bigger predecessor. Just remember to clean them after each use!
Once you snap up your cute quartet, master your color-correcting technique with our tips.

The 1 Thing You Should Never Say to a Woman Over 30
Image Source: Giafrese
Last week, I struck up a conversation with my Uber driver. As the conversation continued around politics, he made an assumption that we were close in age, saying as someone in her late twenties/early thirties, surely I could relate. I pointed out that I'm actually in my mid-forties (I'll be 45 in June), at which the driver abruptly adjusted the rearview mirror with shock and said, "There is NO WAY you're that old! You don't look your age!"
This situation happens to me often. I know he meant it as a sincere compliment, but I'm troubled by the concept that somehow I'm winning at life because I don't have more visible, external signs of aging. It seems after a certain age, "You don't look your age!" is supposed to be the Mother of All Compliments, feathered in a soft nest of "I would never have guessed!" and "OMG, are you serious?" While I appreciate the flattery, I'm always left with a very uneasy feeling: what does that say about how we feel about women and aging?
What makes this well-meaning compliment so unsettling is it implies there's something wrong with looking middle-aged or older. We live in a youth-obsessed culture. It's almost as if we have invisible expiration dates on our skin, and any sign of wear and tear sets off an alarm. The catalyst makes us feel suddenly shamed and expendable.
Our societal thirst for youth is undeniable. Entire magazines dedicated to "The Age Issue." Intense media scrutiny on the appearance of every woman in the public eye, as parodied by Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and others in "Last F*ckable Day." And the beauty business wages a full-scale war on time, complete with antiaging weaponry meant to eradicate, decimate, and bury all evidence that a woman might be getting older, like "age-defying lasers" and "miracle worker" eye creams. Every day, I watch women battling time with everything they've got, attempting to stay in the same jeans from high school while pushing foreign matter into their faces in order to literally freeze everything right where it is today, forever and ever more.
The fear of being seen as anything less than sexually viable, the palpable threat of being traded in for a younger model, the intense messaging that we're going to die alone if we show a crack in the armor of our skin - all of it is crushing, pervasive, and punishing. We treat women like the newest release of the iPhone: just wait a minute, because we've got a hot newer model coming, and she's so much sexier than your old one that we've made the old model obsolete.
I find this incredibly disturbing. The lines running across my forehead mimic those of my father's. And I can't imagine doing something to get rid of them. Recently, I discovered the magical power of rainbow-colored hair, and I defy someone telling me I'm too old to have it. My jawline and breasts are slowly descending, and outside of exercise, good bras, and products, I'm letting them continue on their path. I truly find softness truly sexy. But I am worried about the women my age (or older) and for the young impressionable girls who are imprinted with an unnecessary fear of aging.
My age is awesome. I know so much more than I have ever known before. The light that shines within my skin is knowledge of how amazing life can be if you just hang in there. I laugh more easily, and I'm so much better in bed because I know my body. My soul, wit, intelligence - the very spark of life within me makes for my vibrancy. I feel like I've done a pretty damned good job taking care of myself. I come from a long line of extraordinary black women who take incredible pride in appearance, and we all have daily rituals that reinforce that sentiment.
"The less you do to your face, the less you will ever have to do to you face," is a mantra my mother once said. I swear by it. I don't wear a lot of makeup, I cleanse, I treat, I moisturize; repeat daily. Outside of that, I've never had anything "done" (re: cosmetic dermatology). The only needles near my face have involved piercing my ears and dental work, and the only surgery has been wisdom teeth removal. No fillers, no nothing. It's real, and it's all mine.
That said, I did start using products at the young age of 9 years old, when my Olay-obsessed Aunt Bert used to slather my face with the legendary cream. I would stand on the stool in her bathroom as she performed her nightly beauty ritual.

At first, I used moisturizers as a teenager to offset the drying effects of cleansers and astringents. And that routine has now evolved into a twice-daily regimen of cleansing, serums, and moisturizers. My regiment has guest-starring appearances from other products weekly, because I test so many things. But the mainstays remain SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser ($34), Simple Cleansing Micellar Water ($7), Kiehl's Since 1851 Midnight Recovery Concentrate ($72), and, you guessed it, Olay Moisturizing Lotion For Sensitive Skin ($10).
I also admit to spending a ridiculous amount on night creams (my desert island products would be Erno Laszlo Luminous C10 Night Treatment ($135) and SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair ($102).
Since there's no beauty cream or cosmetic procedure that can cure our obsession with youth, I'd like to propose a different solution: awareness. Instead of telling a woman she doesn't look her age, just tell her she looks good. Really good. "Wow, you're beautiful," is something every single person on the planet recognizes as sincere currency, and we can live off that bank of positive energy for days.
Also, accomplishments, goals, dreams, and intelligence are incredibly beautiful. Women living unapologetically, like Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Oprah Winfrey, Lauren Hutton, Meryl Streep, and Rita Moreno, are vibrant, exquisite beings. Smart brands are starting to recognize the sensuality that comes from a life of experience. Marc Jacobs embracing Jessica Lange, Joan Didion in a Céline campaign, NARS featuring Charlotte Rampling, and most recently Lancome signing on Isabella Rossellini are all steps in the right direction.
The childish fear of the inevitable end of our lives is forcing us to take extraordinary measures that don't celebrate women. Ladies, if you're with people who don't see the sum of your beauty, ditch them and find your tribe of women who are as juicy and amazing as you. Same goes for the men in your life. Someone out there will love you right as you are . . . no further assembly required.
It's time for a new standard of beauty. Let's all look amazing, regardless of our age. The ultimate compliment is to recognize all of what's in front of you, inside and out. Every single woman has something to bring to the party, and it's time we celebrate that in all its glory.

50 Everyday Observations That Chrissy Teigen Turned Into Twitter Gold
Chrissy Teigen is the queen of a lot of things: whipping up meals that make us side-eye our sad takeout, posting ridiculously cute photos of her daughter, and transforming us into the heart eyes emoji anytime she talks about John Legend. But above all, she's the Queen of Twitter. It seems like a week can't pass without people praising her for an epic clapback or hilariously relatable observations about life, and the praise is totally warranted. In honor of her social media savviness (a lame phrase Chrissy would probably make fun of us on Twitter for, let's be honest), let's take a walk down memory lane (memory newsfeed?) and bask in the glory of her best tweets.
35 of the Best Male Butts in Cinematic History
Butts. Love them or hate them, it's not hard to notice how present they are in popular culture, so much so that recent years have been full of booty. We see butts all over our favorite TV shows - we're lookin' at you, Game of Thrones - and music is ripe (pun intended) with references to cake, peaches, and other euphemisms we could think of if we had more time. Here's the thing, though. You can't talk about butts in pop culture without looking to the longest-standing provider: movies. We've been seeing rears on the big screen for decades and decades now, and we figured it's high time to call out a few of our favorites. Venture a glance over your shoulder to make sure no one's watching and get scrolling.

If You Own a Cast-Iron Pan, You Need to Buy This Tool Immediately
For years my colleague raved about this tool which makes cast-iron pan cleaning a breeze: The Ringer ($17). I use my cast-iron pan almost every evening for searing meat, sautéing vegetables, and stir-frying and I dread having to pull out the kosher salt and my scrubber brush to remove all the stuck-on food particles. However, why am I resisting throwing down the cash for a product that boasts a five-star rating on Amazon plus a #1 Bestseller tag? The Ringer is one of those products my co-worker mentions regularly and even included in one of our holiday gift guides as a really awesome, affordable tool to buy a loved one. So enough with my excuses that I don't need another unitasker. I've gone ahead and ordered this tool that claims it can cut through any tough grit with hot water alone. Let's go Ringer. I'm ready to use you.

Princess Sofia Is About to Become Your Maternity Style Icon
Sweden's Princess Sofia, Duchess of Värmland, has become one of Europe's best dressed royals. After marrying Prince Carl Philip in a breathtaking Stockholm ceremony, Sofia grabbed the world's attention. She's stepped before the cameras with ease, which is no surprise when you learn that Sofia is a former model and television personality.
No matter the occasion, Sofia has shown a knack for picking the perfect pastel or embellished gown for formal occasions or more playful separates when the situation allows. Now that she's pregnant with her second child, we can expect plenty of lovely maternity looks too. We love Kate Middleton's style and that of Denmark's Princess Mary, but the new Swedish royal is truly upping Europe's sartorial stakes - and here is why.
4 Stupid Things First-Time Parents Do When Expecting
Now that my kids are 2 and almost 5 (and I've been writing about motherhood for most of their young lives), I'd like to think I've learned a thing or two about parenting babies. But back in 2011, when I was about to give birth to my daughter, I was as clueless as every other first-time mom. Despite the numerous parenting books that lined my nightstand and the hours I spent researching every newborn-related thing I could think of on BabyCenter, I had no idea what kind of crazy, life-changing experience was coming my way - and how stupid some of the first parenting decisions I made truly were.
Recently, I attended a baby shower for one of my younger friends, and I was surrounded by pregnant women, glowing with the anticipation of their first child's arrival and a blissful lack of understanding about what they were really getting themselves into. I didn't want to burst their baby-joy bubbles by telling them they didn't really need the wipes warmer or every available stroller attachment, but maybe I should have. While no one can really prepare you for your first baby, let me share a few dumb things I did, so you don't have to repeat my mistakes.
- Buying every possible baby item and gadget made. Like many first-time moms, I was convinced I needed everything those online registry lists suggested, including multiple strollers, a bouncer, a swing, a bassinet, a crib, a wipes warmer, a bottle warmer, a million swaddles and sleep sacks, and, of course, a couple of pairs of baby skinny jeans, size 0-3 months. My daughter hated the bouncer and swing, I never used those warmers, and the skinny jeans? The poor girl couldn't bend her chunky legs in them. Now I would tell my former self to buy the bare minimum. One safe place to put the baby down is ample. Trendy gadgets probably aren't necessary. And remember, Amazon and Diapers.com deliver just as fast after the baby's born as they do before, and you'll know much better what you really need once you and your baby get to know each other.
- Getting too attached to my birth plan. I never wrote out a birth plan, but I was adamant about not wanting a C-section. So after 16 hours of labor, when my doctor told me I'd only progressed to six centimeters and it was time to consider one, I freaked out. I was pumped full of drugs, beyond exhausted, and totally emotionally unstable, basically the worst combination to process what felt like such a big loss. Now, two C-sections later, I've been known to sing their praises to whomever will listen (I was lucky and had two really easy recoveries). In retrospect, I wish I would have gone into my first labor with a more open mind about the delivery. The goal, after all, is to have a healthy baby; don't let how he or she arrives ruin your experience.
- Not setting boundaries for hospital and home visitors after the birth. Besides asking my mom to stay for the a week after my daughter was born, I never even thought about this one. But after a long, rough delivery, I realized that recovering from major surgery and becoming a mom was overwhelming enough, and the addition of having to make small talk with relatives or worrying about whether I'd need to breastfeed while my father-in-law was in the room was too much for me. Even if you're a person who usually loves being surrounded by people, consider setting some limits for the number of visitors who come to the hospital and your home for the first few weeks and definitely set a time limit for each visit. Also remember that it's not your job to serve anyone or make sure your house is clean. An appropriate response to a visitor request: "We'd love to see you from 12-2 on Thursday, and it would be great if you could bring lunch."
- Thinking I'd seamlessly jump back into my old life after my baby was born. After gaining 45 pounds with my daughter, I vividly remember telling my husband I was planning on losing the weight through breastfeeding, hot yoga, and juice cleanses (I'd been doing a lot of the last two before I got pregnant). Then my daughter was born, and I quickly realized I was one of those oh-so-lucky women whose bodies hold on to the last 5-10 pounds during the year-plus I was breastfeeding; that my hot yoga gym had no childcare, making it almost impossible to make a class; and my favorite juice cleanse had a big disclaimer that said "not recommended while breastfeeding" - and those were just a few of the least shocking discoveries I made as a new mom. This isn't one you can really prepare for, but maybe don't sign up for a year-long Bikram membership that starts on your due date or plan to attend your girlfriend's bachelorette party when your baby's six weeks old. Things will change after you become a mom, and you won't know what, how, or why until after delivery.

22 Photos of Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe That Will Make You Do a Double Take
We've gotten many peeks into Reese Witherspoon's personal life lately, especially where her family is concerned; the actress has taken to social media to share sweet photos of her home and family, including snaps of her three kids, sons Deacon and Tennessee and daughter Ava. Ava, the 17-year-old progeny of Reese and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, has clearly inherited both of her parents' good looks and is paving her own way when it comes to her offbeat style and artsy social media presence - what teenager hasn't experimented with dyeing their hair pink, getting a nose ring, or rocking Doc Martens? Reese recently opened up about her look-alike daughter's trendsetting ways, saying, "She's so much cooler than I am!" and admitting that they "confer about new styles" and that Ava tells her "whether or not I can wear things."

27 English Words You Probably Use When Speaking Spanish
If you speak Spanish or have tried to learn it, then you know there are so many freaking words! But although the language has a vast (endless, it seems) array of terms and phrases that mean the same thing and a few special words that have no translation, I recently noticed I tend to borrow a handful of English words here and there. I ask a friend, for example, to please put a "hot dog" on the grill for me and say I have nothing to wear in my "closet." It turns out, I'm not alone! After polling friends, family, and editors, I came up with 27 English words commonly used in Spanish - some of these will actually shock you.
Did we miss any? Let us know what other English words have made their way into your Spanish vocabulary in the comments.
Season Finale Schedule: Find Out When Your Favorite Show Is Ending
Spring can mean an influx of new shows, but it also signals the end of some of our favorites - for a few months, anyway. The CW, Fox, NBC, and FX have already announced when a few of their series will be wrapping up before Summer. Some shows won't be returning at all; we've already had to say goodbye to The Vampire Diaries for good, and there will be others. Bones and Grimm are among the shows ending in 2017. Take a look to find out when their final episodes will air, plus see the season finales for a handful of other shows as well.
How Could Jar Jar Binks and Supreme Leader Snoke Be Connected? Mesa Explain
After the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it seemed the internet at large was buzzing about the two biggest unanswered questions. The first is a classic Star Wars mystery. Much like we didn't know the identity of Luke Skywalker's parents in Star Wars: A New Hope - we didn't find out Darth Vader was his father until the end of The Empire Strikes Back - we similarly wonder about who Rey's parents are ahead of Episode VIII. But there's an even bigger mystery to consider: the newest trilogy of films has introduced a menacing and powerful new villain called Supreme Leader Snoke.
The most perplexing thing about Snoke is that he seems like a new addition to the Star Wars universe, but avid fans of the films know there's nothing like a shocking reveal. This has led to many theories about the villain. Some believe Snoke could be one of "the Last Jedi" mentioned in Episode VIII's official title. Others think a previous character like the presumably dead Mace Windu or the menacing Darth Maul could have gone on to become the big bad. But the most unfortunate addition to the pool has been Jar Jar Binks.
Yes, Jar Jar Binks. The foolish, implicitly racist sidekick in the first trilogy. It all started more than a year ago, when Reddit user Lumparwarroo posted a wild theory about the character that suggested he was a highly skilled Force user and Sith collaborator who had conspired with Emperor Palpatine himself. While this theory concludes that Jar Jar Binks goes on to become Supreme Leader Snoke, a new revelation supports an even crazier hypothesis: that Jar Jar Binks is the Sith master who finds a young boy and molds him into the evil supervillain we meet in The Force Awakens. This would mean that Jar Jar Binks is not Supreme Leader Snoke but is instead even more powerful than him. Are you ready to plunge deeper into the madness?
Beginning in 2015, Star Wars began publishing a new book trilogy called Aftermath. The three books would go over everything that happens between The Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) and The Force Awakens (Episode VII). It's kind like how Rogue One ends up connecting Revenge of the Sith (Episode III) and A New Hope (Episode IV), but I digress. The third installment of the Aftermath trilogy is called Empire's End, and it was just released at the end of February. At the end of this novel, though, we unexpectedly learn the fate of Jar Jar Binks. He's a street clown who performs for little children, banished by the Gungan race.
In this part, a young boy approaches Jar Jar Binks and asks why no one calls him by name and why no one will talk to him. "Mesa Jar Jar," he says, then, "Jar Jar makin some uh-oh mistakens. Big mistakens. Der Gunga bosses banished me longo ago. Mesa no been to home in for-ebbers." Here's the interesting part: the book describes this young boy as a "disfigured orphan" whose "scar tissue runs up from his jaw, over the hole that used to be his ear, and to the scalp." Fans of The Force Awakens will remember how deformed Snoke appears, with a messed-up ear and a deep forehead scar to boot. Jar Jar then offers to "teach" the young boy: "My teachin yousa, pallo. Wesa maken the whole galaxy smilin, huh?"
Of course, it's possible Jar Jar was only ever a fool and is merely taking a young orphan under his wing. For all we know, the fallen character will just teach his young companion how to do simple circus tricks. However, if you believe the Reddit theory that Jar Jar Binks truly is a Force master and Sith collaborator, it casts a whole new light on this scene. Maybe the Gungans banished him because he was a Sith collaborator. Maybe he's lying low until he sees an opportunity to strike again. And maybe this young, deformed orphan boy has a dark power within that will eventually turn him into Supreme Leader Snoke. Could it be? Could Jar Jar return to the franchise in The Last Jedi? The answer is not a resounding no.
Cheetos Is Launching a Fashion Line - Because Nothing Is Off Limits These Days
After dipping their cheese-powder-covered toes into the waters of the beauty world with a bright orange bronzer product, the innovative team at Cheetos is foraying into the fashion world. Because what do they have to lose at this point? People will always be in love with the puffy, crunchy treats, even if they do leave their fingers (and clothes) caked in particles of artificial cheese dust for days on end.
The childhood (and, let's be real, adulthood) snack brand recently launched a new "snackwear line" on Betabrand, a retail clothing company and crowdfunding platform. The products in the collection could not be any cheesier (pun only semi-intended), but some of them actually seem pretty useful for Cheetos addicts. In line with the tried-and-true "form follows function" principle, these items are designed to solve common problems that snackers come across will munching on the cheesy bites (i.e. the "Snacking Gloves" aim to prevent the Cheetos fingers epidemic, while the "Snackspenders" have tiny pockets to store the snack when you get a sudden craving on the go).
These products aren't officially on the market yet, and Cheetos needs your input to make them a reality. You can check out conceptual illustrations of these potential fashion items on the Betabrand website and vote for your favorites. The winners will go on to become crowdfunding projects that could eventually be produced in the future. Our fingers are crossed for those Snacking Gloves!
Read on to catch a glimpse of the hilarious yet useful ideas that Cheetos has up its sleeves.
Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli's Desert Wedding Is Like Something Out of a Mirage
Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli exchanged "I dos" in Palm Springs on Saturday, and their nuptials were as stunning as you'd expect. The couple - who met on the set of Orange Is the New Black - opted for matchy-matchy white outfits designed by Christian Siriano for the ceremony, and later slipped into something a little more comfortable for the reception. The celebration began with an outdoor ceremony set to the tune of "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan and officiated by Samira's parents. It then continued with the newlyweds making a grand entrance at their reception with Justin Bieber's "Baby" playing in the background.
Samira and Lauren first began dating in 2014, and got engaged back in October. In the February issue of Out magazine, Lauren revealed that she wanted to pop the question before one of their getaways so that they could use that time away to celebrate together. Congrats to the happy couple!

How 1 Woman Proved You Can Get Better Brows With Time and Patience
Everyone has experienced their own trials and tribulations when it comes to eyebrows. Some of us may have suffered from overplucking, while others have filled them in too dark. But brows can be resilient and, with a little care, you can restore your arches, making them look better than ever.
When we think back on our own brow transformations, we get pretty emotional (how did we do that to ourselves?!), so when an Imgur user shared her five-year journey to achieving awesome arches, we truly related.
The woman shared five different selfies, documenting all the different ways she has played with her brows, from drawing them on really thin to unnaturally thick. Though we applaud her for trying out these trendy techniques, we have to agree that the final look - and also the most natural - perfectly frames her face.
"I thank my lucky stars every day that they grew back in from what I had done to myself as a teenager," she wrote. We're nodding our heads in agreement; her brows are truly blessed!

We Just Barely Recognized Sia Without Her Signature Wig
When Sia popped up at LAX on Wednesday, she didn't exactly turn heads - instead, she flew under the radar and was barely recognizable without the over-the-top wig that typically covers her face on stage and on the red carpet. Instead, the 41-year-old "Waterfall" singer went casual in Kenzo sweatpants and a natural hair and makeup look, holding on to her tote bag as she made her way to the terminal; she was reportedly jetting off to Dubai for a concert on Saturday.
Sia's overseas trip comes just a few months after she filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Erik Anders Lang. In December, the couple released a statement announcing their split, saying, "After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. We are, however, dedicated to remaining friends. There will be no further comment."
18 Selena Gomez Bikinigrams That Prove She's Definitely a 10
If there's one thing we love about Selena Gomez, it's that she's always game to show off her stylish swimsuits. After all, she's hot and she knows it. In fact, when the star called the TJ Show and was asked to rate her hotness on a scale from one to 10, she said, "On a good day, I would say - like a premiere day - I would be a good nine. And then, on my every day, I feel like a six. Gosh, that sounds so bad! I feel like a six or a seven."
But from the look of Selena's sun-kissed bikinigrams, for which she changes her style based on the prints, colors, and cuts of her suit, we'd say she's a definite 10 - even when she's on the beach with no makeup on. Scroll to find 18 times Selena proved she can work a swimsuit like it's nobody's business.

What I Did to Get (Permanent) Eyebrows on Fleek
It's a beauty woe that's all too familiar. It started in middle school, when I couldn't stand to look at the tiny feather boas sprouting above my eyes. Gwen Stefani was rocking pink parentheses, and I looked like Harrison Ford. I had to tweeze them. Because, you know, when you're in middle school you make responsible and wise decisions. Little did I know that tweezing was a gateway to overtweezing. I ended up looking like Clara Bow when all I wanted was a clean Audrey Hepburn.
Eventually I stared at my superskinny arches and realized that (believe me, I tried) there was little waxing or threading could do to help my already barely there brows. I watched YouTube videos of women filling in theirs like they'd been doing it since the dawn of man. But I wasn't exactly a makeup connoisseur. Probably more like a festival face-painter . . .
But I turned to makeup nonetheless - pencils for sketching my misaligned arches, powders for filling in those sexy bald spots, gels to keep unruly hairs in line, and waxes for building up color. Do you know how much time that takes? If I'm being honest, it takes up most of my morning routine. I could shave my entire body faster than it takes to create one perfectly arched brow.
After all that time each morning, I still found myself catching reflections of them in the rearview mirror. I looked like I'd passed out at a party too early and got attacked by a Sharpie. I had to switch up my morning eyebrow-creating routine. "Eyebrows" and "trial and error" are now so synonymous to me that I fear the bad brow days and cherish the good like loved ones.
While, naturally, perusing #eyebrowsonfleek on Instagram, I discovered microblading. The clouds opened above me, and light poured down on my thirsty arches. My brow-brush-wielding hands prayed for a paid vacation. So I decided to look into the technique.
This alternative tattooing method produces semipermanent results. However, unlike the block-like and harsh traditional eyebrow tats, microblading creates subtle, natural-looking brows by mimicking the strokes of eyebrow hairs.
Microblading requires a manual tool featuring several tiny needles in a row to deposit dye into the dermal second layer of the skin. The pen-like device yields amazingly natural-looking arches because the needles etch hyperprecise strokes that actually look like your brow hairs. Or, in my case, my would-be hairs.
Needless to say, I was intrigued, so when I got the opportunity to visit brow specialist Piret Aava for microblading, I decided to take the plunge and get my eyebrows tattooed. What? Tiny tattoos are in style. It's 2016. And I needed some fly eyebrows, stat.
A New Study Finds a Concerning Link Between Breast Implants and a Rare Cancer
The Food and Drug Administration found a concerning link between breast implants and a rare form of cancer that affects the surrounding lymph nodes. In a press release shared on March 22, the FDA said a total of nine people have died as a result of this strain triggered by implants.
The particular cancer is called anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or ALCL. According to the report, women with implants had an increased risk of developing the disease. In addition, textured implants present an even greater risk than implants with smooth surfaces. It is important to note that despite the connection to breast implants, ALCL is not a type of breast cancer as it affects the lymph nodes.
Why exactly do implants increase the risk? The FDA doesn't appear to have a solid answer on that yet. It may have something to do with the materials used to make implants, but so far any research into that has been inconclusive.
If you do have implants, no need to panic: ALCL can be effectively treated if it's detected early on. The FDA is now instructing women with implants to simply educate themselves on the risk. Again, ALCL is still extremely rare but being alert on any changes that may occur in your body is a good habit to form regardless.
8 At-Home Remedies Your Grandma Swears by That Actually Work
Readers, it's time to thank your grandma. Those crazy Latin at-home remedies she showered on you when you were under the weather might have actually worked. In fact, Dr. Keith Roach, associate professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, says that even the rituals that don't have any scientific backing could work - just because you believe in them. "The placebo effect is powerful," he said.
While there are certain Latin cures the doctor advises you should skip when you're sick (like anything involving raw egg, which can carry salmonella, or a shot of alcohol, which can actually be dangerous to your liver during certain illnesses), he weighed in on why some of the most popular get-better-soon treatments that your grandma used actually, truly work. Keep reading to find the list, then check out the family beauty treatments that you should be trying.

3 Stunning, New Starbucks Lunches to Make You Scream "Take My Money!"
Starbucks launches a new Mercato lunch menu in Chicago this Spring, starting April 11, which will eventually roll out to other US stores. Zaatar Chicken & Lemon Tahini Salad, Cauliflower Tabbouleh Salad, and Herbed Chicken & Fig Spread sandwich are just a few of the new offerings that frankly sound like they come right out of a high-end Mediterranean bistro. According to a Starbucks rep, the Mercato menu will "meet a variety of dietary lifestyles, including vegan, vegetarian, and high-protein." It's like Starbucks really knows us, am I right?
Currently, the menu will only be available at 100 downtown Chicago locations, and Starbucks says leftover items will be donated nightly to local food banks through Starbucks FoodShare program. Though we will have to wait a while for this menu to venture across the States, at least we can try the new Spring breakfast items like the sprouted bagel and avocado spread.
Who's Going to Die in The Walking Dead Season Finale?
We're just a few weeks out from The Walking Dead's season seven finale, and the time bomb is already ticking. In the second half of the season, Rick has tried to combine forces with Hilltop, the Kingdom, and those weird junkyard people while Sasha and Rosita have embarked on a deadly mission and Eugene has turned to the dark side.

You know what that means, right? It's time to figure out who might bite the bullet.
5 Theories That Could Explain Who Rey's Parents Are in Star Wars
We came away from watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens with more questions than we can count, but the one that hasn't ceased to stop itching our brains since we left the movie theater is the matter of Rey's parents. While the character, played by Daisy Ridley, is unquestionably the hero of Episode VII, much of her past and familial lineage is shrouded in mystery. J.J. Abrams shed some light on the topic during an appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2016 that seems to have ruled out the biggest theories about Rey's parents, saying, "Rey's parents are not in Episode VII, so I can't possibly say in this moment who they are. But I will say it is something that Rey thinks about, too." Is Abrams just trying to throw fans off the scent of Rey's real parents? Now that the title of Episode VIII has been revealed, we're revisiting our major theories. major spoilers below!

Plus, we're listing the key sportswear pieces you need to make this happen. From a full tracksuit to a modern cleat, here's how you can get away with wearing activewear to the office.
13 Things That No Longer Gross You Out Once You Become a Parent
Before becoming a parent, the idea of puke, boogers, your mom wiping something off your face with spit, and anything having to do with poop likely grossed you out, which is totally understandable. But after you have your first child, it's like a switch flips and all of a sudden nothing is too disgusting to handle anymore - it's a weird gift, but a gift all the same.
Read through for 13 gross things that no longer phase you after having kids.
- Poop. The smell of poop, sight of poop, poop all over your child's body and clothes, poop all over you - none of it matters anymore.
- Puke. Projectile vomit - no matter what the consistency, color, temperature, or volume - no longer bothers you. Maybe you were the type to run away from sick people in college, but now that you're a parent, you're a fearless first responder.
- Snot. Now that you have kids, you will pick any child's nose for them with your own fingers if it means not sitting on a couch full of crusty boogers.
- Drool. Whether it's clean and pure drool or full of food particles, you are immune to it being all over you. Congratulations.
- Blood. No cut (or worse) is going to make you squeamish from now on - you might as well go to medical school now, because no gory scene could possibly bother you, Dr. Mom.
- Sneezes. A sneeze or cough straight to the face and full of germs warrants no reaction other than wiping off the spray with your hand.
- Chewed-up food. You will cup your hand in front of your child's mouth so that they can spit out something they don't like without missing a beat. You're not even above eating some of it, if we're being real.
- Farts. Your baby is totally going to fart all over you, and you'll probably think it's cute. And when your young child farts on you, well, that's just a part of life you accept now.
- Spit up. So not an issue. (See drool and puke.)
- Pee. You've been peed on so many times by the end of your first week as a parent, you are guaranteed to be completely unfazed by potty accidents for the rest of your life.
- Eye gunk. Your biggest concern with eye gunk is poking your child in the eye, not the fact that you are literally scraping boogers from the corners of their eyes with your fingers.
- Morning breath. Being face-to-face with the stinkiest of kid breath - morning or not, to be honest - means nothing to you.
- Cleaning with spit. A little spit shine never killed anybody. If there is food crusted around your child's mouth or something unidentifiable on their face, you'll wipe it off using your bare hands and a lick of spit without even thinking twice.
