The Unedited Truth About What It Means to Grow Up as an Americanized Latina
The following post originally appeared on Medium.
I was born on the outskirts of Lima to a Peruvian mother and an absent Spanish father. I was raised solely by my mother, in a house built by my grandfather where a clump of my other relatives sporadically resided.
I do not remember much of my early childhood. I remember that my mother was my counterpart. It was only ever her and I. She clothed me and fed me and nurtured me until I was ready to leave the hen. She was both my caretaker and my leverage. She was both my provider and my patriarch.
I was maybe five or six when my entire life was uprooted. My mother woke me up one morning and told me we were leaving. The memory is hazy because I only remember bits and pieces of my life since then, but I remember that morning and the biting confusion of my younger self when we embarked on a flight to an unfamiliar place where I was allegedly supposed to start all over.
I sparsely remember that it was still my mother and I, moving in and out of different homes, basements, cities, states - for a few years. From time to time, I was continually ripped out of places and put into new ones very suddenly and without warning. Friendships were difficult to maintain. I was constantly in a disoriented state, forced to live in a place where I did not know the language, the customs, the societal expectations.
I was involuntarily coerced into a culture very different from the one I was used to and forced to adapt to it, which made it really hard to stay immersed in my own.
My (God)-given name was Alejandra Guerra Urquieta, a matronymic blend of my father's last name and my mother's maiden name. In the fifth grade, I began to feel like an outsider, constantly enveloped by groups of people who were very different from me who did not know my language, my culture, or my struggles. Nobody knew how to pronounce my name. I was Ale-chandra or Ali-jandra. I was a mispronounced syllable, insignificant, vague.
I became Ali, a name they could pronounce. Simple. Plain.
Ali became the new me. The new accommodated, homologized Peruvian American who finally blended in. Spanish, which was originally my first and only language, became a language that I seldom spoke. I built a roadblock on the portal that led me to my past and created a new persona, one that knew no struggle. One that belonged.
Ali didn't act or look Latina. Ali didn't listen to Hispanic music or watch novelas. Ali only dated white guys. Ali was privileged, merely by living in a country where there was opportunity. We kept some traditions, like Hispanic holiday rituals but eventually my mother was re-married and gave birth to my little brother who grew up almost completely white. The Spanish language died in the house along with our heritage.
Throughout my young adult life, I began to feel that part of me dwindle more and more each day. Suddenly, it was embarrassing and awkward to speak my native language around people who didn't understand it.
I softened my accent, softened my Hispanic demeanor.
It wasn't until I spent a few months in Spain where a local told me that I had an American accent that I realized how much of my identity I had lost.
It is only lately that I am learning to understand and take pride in all the struggles my family has had to scramble through, and the hindrance that comes with being an illegal immigrant striving for a better, more established life. I have learned a lot of things from my mother growing up, like the preeminent value of hard work and independence, to own who you are and your eccentricity, and that women like us will always survive.
I still go by Ali most of the time, but I make sure to tell people my real name - a name that I am not ashamed of, a name that stands for warrior, a name that is doused in defeat, a name that means "conqueror" and never fails to remind me that, despite everything, I will always be capable of that.
All Hail Elizabeth Debicki's High Priestess Ayesha in Guardians of the Galaxy 2
When Ayesha, high priestess of the Sovereign, first pops up on screen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it's electric. Sitting in all of her gilded glory, the leader of the xenophobic, gold-skinned race of aliens - who are quite literally pod people - stares down at Peter Quill, Rocket, Drax, and Gamora from her throne with a mix of detached interest and chilling scorn; she's like a scientist preparing to slice open her next specimen. Although the true villain of the story emerges later on, it's the scenes with Ayesha that cement the towering golden goddess as the film's campier, more entertaining foil for Star Lord and company. So who do we have to thank for this metallic HBIC? Twenty-six-year-old Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki.
She joins Sylvester Stallone and Pom Klementieff as one of the cosmic sequel's best new additions, but it's hardly her first role. Debicki got her start in 2011's A Few Best Men with Rebel Wilson, but it was her big break as Jordan Baker in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby in 2013 that really set her career in motion.
Since then, she's gone on to star in films like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Everest, as well as nabbing the part of Jed Marshall in The Night Manager. Unlike Lee Pace's Ronan in the first Guardians - pause for spoiler warning - Ayesha makes it to the end of the film in perfect, albeit annoyed, condition, and the postcredits scene she appears in all but confirms the important part she'll play in future Marvel properties.

Vogue's Reigning Queen Is Honored by the Actual Freaking Queen of England
During an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on May 5, Anna Wintour received an esteemed honor from Queen Elizabeth II. The Vogue editor in chief was made a Dame Commander for her renowned work in fashion and journalism.
At the ceremony, Anna wore a pink Chanel coat, nude pumps, and her trademark oversize sunglasses - although she removed those once inside. Her daughter, Bee Shaffer, was also in attendance. Following the ceremony, Bee proudly shared a sweet picture of her mom and captioned it, "Dame AW."
In a hilarious turn of events, it seems like the queen was so distracted by the London-born editor's posh belted coat that "she couldn't find where to put the brooch," Anna told the BBC.
Just last month, fellow fashion force Victoria Beckham was also bestowed with a similar honor when she was made an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for her work in fashion design.
Look ahead for touching pictures from the very elegant ceremony.

How to Do Holographic Highlight IRL - According to a Beauty Pro
Taylor Frankel launched the successful makeup brand Nudestix with her sister Ally. We are thrilled to share this exclusive contributing creative post from her. Then, learn more about how she started Nudestix here.
Hey, it's me, your girl Tay! Serious question, how many times have you seen an Instagram trend that looks super cool in pictures, but not-at-all wearable IRL? (TBT to clown contouring, haha.) The beauty community has done it again, by feeding our inner unicorn obsession. Meet the holographic highlighting trend! Not that I need to tell you, because you've probably heard all the rage about the "holographic" trend, and probably thought to yourself, "Well, that's cool but I could never wear (or pull that off) to work, school, or for a casual brunch with girlfriends." For this very relatable reason, I have created the ultimate (not to brag!) step-by-step how-to guide for creating the perfect wearable holographic highlight for real life. Thank me later, ladies!
Need to Look Good For a Big Event? Add This to Your Facial
Cupping is not new by any means, but it recently became a topic of discussion after celebrities like Michael Phelps and Lea Michele were photographed sporting large, circular bruises on their backs. Sure, this treatment definitely has the "WTF" factor that many might only associate with a celebrity lifestyle, but don't be so quick to attribute it to another odd trend that claims big benefits with little result.
Cupping therapy is an ancient method that utilizes a cupping tool to create suction, helping with circulation and ailments like inflammation, similar to a deep tissue massage. It can be extremely relaxing but also extremely effective at helping with pain. I was experiencing a shooting pain down my back anytime I turned my neck, and instead of heading to the doctor, I visited acupuncturist Samantha Manka-Segal, L.Ac. In addition to sticking several needles in my back and shoulders, which helped "deflate" the tenseness I was feeling, she cupped my back as well. It "hurt so good," for lack of better words. And my pain seemed to vanish immediately.
Now that you know my personal history with cupping, it should be said that I am a huge skeptic with anything beauty related. I didn't get on the microcurrent bandwagon until an esthetician showed me half of my face with the treatment and half of it without - and it looked like I had a partial face lift. I believe that cellulite creams are a scam, as I've yet to find anything at home that bears any result. So when I was told by Nurse Jamie, whose clients include Shay Mitchell and the Kardashians, about facial cupping, I was a little hesitant, even with my positive experience with cupping therapy.
"It's a little east meets west," Jamie said. The benefits are improving circulation and reducing inflammation, similar to how it works on the body, and it's usually an add-on service to a facial. And because the cups are consistently moving on the skin and only kept on for five to 10 seconds, you won't end up with a bruised face. Just be careful not to leave them suctioned for longer than that.
First, a mask was applied to my skin to give it a nice slip for the suctions. Then the cups, which reminded me of those nasal aspirators you use on babies, were suctioned to my face and moved in upward motions for a few seconds at a time. It was extremely relaxing, kind of like a face massage. The best part, though, was the immediate result. After working on one side of my face, I looked in the mirror and saw how lifted that side of my face was compared to the other.
Don't believe me? Watch the video to see the process in action and to see my results for yourself.

15 Times Jaden and Willow Smith Were the Coolest Siblings in Hollywood
Jaden and Willow Smith have a sibling bond like no other.

We may never know what makes Jaden, 18, and Willow, 16, so effortlessly cool, but we can admire their adorable relationship with these 15 photos.
21 Rose Quartz Nail Art Ideas That Totally Rock
Though the practice of using healing crystals dates back to ancient Egypt, it is absolutely having a renaissance in 2017. That's why we are obsessed with the gorgeous rose quartz nail art trend.
Rose quartz is the perfect stone to re-create in manicure form as it supposedly has the power to incite a passion for beauty and creativity (both of which are at play in DIY nail art!). The crystal is also said to attract and promote feelings of love toward oneself and toward others. Hey, you can never have too many good vibes.
The technique itself is easy enough to master. Pick up a sheer rosy-pink nail polish (we like Essie Poppy Art Pink ($9)) and apply one coat, then doodle on little "veins" like a real crystal might have in shades of white, paler pink, or gold using a striping brush. Top with another coat of sheer pink and repeat until you have created a look you love. You can even spice it up with accent stones or half moons, or just use the manicure as a foundation for another artistic masterpiece. Read on to see our favorite examples from Instagram as well as a brief tutorial.

The Real Meaning Behind Cinco de Mayo, and Why Mexicans Don't Really Celebrate the Date
Another year, another Cinco de Mayo, another controversial statement, another stereotypical campaign, and another upset Mexican. I wish we could avoid this altogether and celebrate the day for what it really is; maybe learn a little bit about its history.
First things first, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. In fact, as a Mexican-American with more than half of my family still living in Mexico, when the date comes around I don't think I receive a message even mentioning it from any of them. Every once in a while, though, a cousin finds humor in sending us screen shots of tweets or memes that mirror the ignorance in the celebration: "¿Ya se fijaron que hoy se celebra la independencia de México en los Estados Unidos? Jaja." Translation: "Did you see that the US is celebrating "Mexican Independence Day" today? LOL" Sounds about right.
So, when is Mexican Independence Day then? Sept. 16. And what do we celebrate on May 5? The Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. While this victory didn't free Mexico from the French (this would happen months later), it did represent a great win for the country. Outnumbered and with poor supplies to fight the war, this triumph gave Mexicans hope, and the date evolved into a celebration of pride and culture. Yes, the country does acknowledge Cinco de Mayo, but it's mostly only celebrated in the state of Puebla and nowhere near as big or similar to how the festivities take place in the states. The $2 margaritas, two-for-one tacos, and wear-your-sombrero-to-work traditions will most likely only happen here on Cinco de Mayo, not south of the border.
Cinco de Mayo symbolizes unity and hope for the country, so how did the day evolved into what it has in the US? At some point, Mexican-Americans (or chicanos) adopted the day and began celebrating it. The idea was for them to promote their culture, history, vibrant colors, and musical diversity at a time where they felt oppressed. Now, instead, the meaning of Cinco de Mayo is a big confusion for most and a sales and marketing target for brands.
With Mexican roots, I take any opportunity to feel pride in my culture and ancestors.I do celebrate the day and victory. I will proudly congratulate my country with a tweet or Facebook post and maybe wear the rebozo, huipil, or embroidered shirt I purchased on my last trip to Jocotepec, Jalisco (that's where my family is from). However, I will also feel saddened by the fact that most won't acknowledge the date's symbolism appropriately. Instead, I will most likely have to hear incorrect statements made over and over again and plenty of "Yeah, I'm down for Drinko de Mayo and tequila shots! Viva Mexico!" from people mocking the commemoration and everything I stand for.
Cinco de Mayo isn't the only day that has evolved into an alcohol-driven fiesta, there are others. Will my frustration change anything? Probably not, but I do hope eventually, if we spread knowledge, we'll embody "culturas" for what they are; not only mine, but all. I am no one to pass up a two-for-one taco special, but it would be nice to come across a Cinco de Mayo where I don't have to hear of foolish behavior being broadcasted on national television for others to repeat or mindless comments allowing stereotypes to live and continue. Imagine, what would a Cinco de Mayo then look like? Sounds like a better holiday to me.

This Is How Long You Can Expect to Bleed After Giving Birth, According to 2 Doctors
Something many first-time moms might not know in reference to what will happen with their bodies after giving birth is that they can expect to bleed. Understandably, the body goes through a pretty intense experience while birthing a child, so it continues to bleed vaginally - similar to a period - for a bit of time afterward. All it really comes down to is the body expelling the extra blood and tissue that it needed for the baby. But how long can you expect to bleed? And what are normal levels of bleeding? To find out, we asked two doctors to weigh in on it.
Iffath Hoskins, MD, clinical associate professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at NYU Langone Medical Center, said bleeding will typically last for about 10-14 days. Heather Rupe, MD, DO, OB/GYN at The Womens Group of Franklin and WebMD contributor, agreed with Dr. Hoskins and added that women can also see spotting for up to eight weeks post-childbirth.
New moms can expect the blood to be bright red and thick because of the tissue right after giving birth, Dr. Hoskins said, but as time goes on, it should change to a brown or orange shade. During this time, pads will be your friend, but it can get messy, so wearing some crummy clothes that you don't mind getting dirty is a good idea. The blood is not cause for alarm; however, if you're passing any clots or rapidly bleeding through pads, it might be time to check back in with your doctor. Dr. Hoskins also cites localized pain in the perineum, fever, and pus as other causes for concern.
Dr. Hoskins put it simply when she said, "No one ever died from being embarrassed about an unnecessary phone call. But postpartum bleeding and/or sepsis are known killers of mothers." We couldn't have said it better. If you're ever in doubt, it's always smart to ask your doctor for help.
Cara Delevingne: It's "Exhausting" to Deal With Society's Beauty Standards
ICYMI, Cara Delevingne debuted a drastic hair change on the Met Gala red carpet this year: a shaved (and silver!) head. And now that the Gala hype has settled, she's using her new 'do as a platform to address society's outdated standards for beauty.
Over the past few weeks, the model-actress has been snipping her strands little by little to prepare for her role in the upcoming film Life in a Year. But when she arrived at the Costume Institute Gala on May 1, our jaws dropped at her bald head, which she bedazzled and painted silver to match her sexy pantsuit. And damn, did she rock it!
To elaborate on her new appearance, Cara recently took to Instagram to post two powerful photos; in the first, she's all dolled up in head-to-toe silver, and in the second, she's makeup-less and wearing a sweatshirt. Though the stark contrast between the two photos is certainly noticeable, it's her captions that really speak volumes, as she perfectly sums up exactly why society's definition for beauty is so darn f*cked up.
In the first snapshot, she speaks of how empowering it is to find beauty from within, writing, "The more we embrace who we are as people and rely less on our physical attributes, the more empowered we become." She then explained how there's no singular definition for beauty, which we couldn't agree more with. "Beauty shouldn't be so easily defined. It is limitless," she wrote.
In her second post, Cara got real and opened up about how it's "exhausting to be told what beauty should look like." Again, she challenged readers to look inwardly, not outwardly, to find true beauty. "Strip away the clothes, Wipe Off the make up, cut off the hair. Remove all the material possessions. Who are we? How are we defining beauty? What do we see as beautiful?" she wrote in the photo's caption. We thought it wasn't possible to love Cara anymore than we already do, but these eloquent words of wisdom just made our obsession grow even more.
You May Not Know the Ladies of Twin Peaks, but You've Been Taking Cues From Their Looks
What can I say about David Lynch's cult '90s TV show, Twin Peaks? At first, I didn't know what to think when my boyfriend suggested we watch the show. Side note: he's a massive Lynch fan and constantly sings James's cringe-worthy song "Just You" for giggles. One episode in, I was hooked not just for the suspenseful storyline and Agent Dale Cooper's undying love of coffee (because same) but for the leading ladies' style, too. I even bought a David Lynch illustrated t-shirt by NYC brand DeerDana, for crying out loud.
The mastermind behind these iconic looks was costume designer Patricia Norris, and the show earned her an Emmy for outstanding costume design in a series in 1990. A majority of the show's costumes are quintessential '90s, and as you probably know, this era, including these sunglasses, is having a major moment. From Audrey Horne to Laura Palmer (and yes, even the Log Lady), let's revisit their biggest style moments from the classic '90s show just in time for the new season to air on Showtime on May 21.
Taylor Hill's Wearing the Sexy Red Swimsuit You're Seeing Everywhere
As you're shopping for swimsuits this season, you might want to consider a red one-piece. The classic style has become iconic thanks to Baywatch, but it's also a modern-day celebrity favorite among stars like Hailey Baldwin, Emily Ratajkowski, and Diane Kruger.
The bright, colorful option is versatile - it can be styled with denim shorts, a snapback, or even a pair of red sneakers - so it's about time you own one, too. If you want variations of the red one-piece, try a scalloped design or graphic print. We've rounded up a few of your favorite celebs rocking their go-tos plus shopping options to get you started.

One episode in, I was hooked not just for the suspenseful storyline and Agent Dale Cooper's undying love of coffee (because same) but for the leading ladies' style, too. I even bought a David Lynch illustrated t-shirt by NYC brand DeerDana, for crying out loud.
The mastermind behind these iconic looks was costume designer Patricia Norris, and the show earned her an Emmy for outstanding costume design in a series in 1990. A majority of the show's costumes are quintessential '90s, and as you probably know, this era, including these sunglasses, is having a major moment. From Audrey Horne to Laura Palmer (and yes, even the Log Lady), let's revisit their biggest style moments from the classic '90s show just in time for the new season to air on Showtime on May 21.

Amal Clooney Looks Business Professional Right Until You See Her Shoes
Why is it that Amal Clooney's outfits are always so darn good? While arriving to give a speech at London's Chatham House, Amal looked elegant as ever. The lawyer and activist stepped out in a bright red shift dress and a camel-colored trench coat with a structured leather Altuzarra bag. Both the dress and the coat were vintage pieces - the coat was a Balmain number from the '60s and the loose-fitting dress was from the Dior A/W 1972 Haute Couture collection.
While her vintage outfit was on point, the real stars of the show were her vibrant Oscar de la Renta slingback heels that are perfect for Spring.

18 Reasons Adele Is the Role Model Our Kids - and We - Need in This World
Adele's résumé is already long and impressive, but I'd like to add a new piece to it: role model. My love and respect for Adele run deep, and for years she has been someone I look up to, but as I get older, I realize she is also someone I would be proud to say my kids believe is their role model. She is strong, she is successful, she is kind, and she is downright hilarious. Adele carries out her life with an air of confidence in herself and is unapologetic about sharing her feelings and opinions, no matter what they may be. As a wife and mother, she strives to fiercely protect her private life from the public but is never quiet about how much she loves her husband and son.
At only 29 years old, Adele has already accomplished so much, and she's endlessly humble about it. Yes, her success is inspirational, but her attitude toward life is more so. She is someone I shamelessly admire, and these 18 reasons are exactly why our kids should do the same.
If You Love Boobs, You'll Love This Ad For Breast Cancer Awareness
Here's the thing: social media still censors photos of breasts that include nipples, even if the photo is for breast cancer awareness. Why is this a big deal? Because women need to know what they're looking for to detect breast cancer. Thanks to this type of censorship, people can't circulate photos of actual breasts, so a photo of lemons emulating signs of breast cancer went viral. Seriously. It's a dozen lemons in an egg carton. We can't show boobs with breast cancer, but bring on the lemons with lumps!
Argentina's MACMA: Movimiento Ayuda Cáncer de Mama created the #EverybodyLovesBoobs song and campaign to break through censorship in the cheekiest of ways. This video is hilarious, albeit mildly disturbing, but shares a lot of truths about the impact of breast cancer.

More Proof That Obama Isn't Even a Little Bit Done With Politics
Former President Barack Obama has made it clear that he's most definitely still invested in politics - both here and abroad. On Thursday, May 4, Obama officially endorsed French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron, the centrist candidate running against far-right leader Marine Le Pen. This comes just one day after the final debate between Macron and Le Pen.
"I have admired the campaign that Emmanuel Macron has run," Obama said in a Facebook video posted on Macron's official page. "He has stood up for liberal values, he put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world. And he is committed to a better future for the French people. He appeals to people's hopes and not their fears."
The current presidential election in France shares some striking similarities to the 2016 election in the United States, with Le Pen sharing many of the same far-right views on issues like immigration as President Donald Trump. While it's uncommon for a former United States president to endorse a candidate in an international election, it speaks volumes that Obama has publicly spoken out against Le Pen.
"I'm not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don't have to run for office again, but the French election is very important to the future of France and to the values that we care so much about," Obama said. "Because of how important this election is, I also want you to know that I am supporting Emmanuel Macron to lead you forward."
Although President Trump said he was not officially endorsing a candidate in the French election, he has spoken about supporting Le Pen more broadly, telling the Associated Press she is "strongest on borders, and she's the strongest on what's been going on in France."
Le Pen's views are strongly anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim. She comes from a powerful family - her father was a former leader of the far-right National Front party she heads - and has made it clear that if elected, she would attempt to pull France out of the European Union, seek to ban Muslim women from wearing headscarves in public, and end free education for children of undocumented immigrants.
The final runoff vote is on Sunday.
Everything You Need to Know About Sylvester Stallone's Role in Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 below!
If your head is spinning by the time you finish watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, you're not alone. The sequel to the 2014 Marvel flick is a dizzying, colorful ride that brings Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Baby Groot, and Rocket into contact with a bunch of new characters. On top of meeting a lovable Empath and Peter Quill's real dad, we're also treated to a small but significant cameo from Sylvester Stallone. Though it might feel like he's barely on screen, director James Gunn has already confirmed that the character, Stakar, definitely has a future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, who is he exactly?
His Comic Book Origins
Stakar aka Starhawk first popped up in Marvel comics in the mid-'70s thanks to comic book artist and writer team Sal Buscema and Steve Gerber. The character was born on the monastery planet of Vesper in 2002 (which, back then, was the not-too-distant future) to parents Kismet and Quasar. He inherited powers like superhuman strength, immortality, and flight, and went on to accomplish things like making a few babies with his adopted sister, Aleta (yes, really), and helping the Guardians of the Galaxy save Earth. Fortunately Starhawk's appearance in the movie is far less complicated.
His Role in the MCU
Though the Starhawk moniker is never referenced, it's assumed Stallone's Stakar is a version of the character from the comics. In the MCU, he's the tough (but fair) leader of a Ravager faction that Yondu used to be a part of, until the blue-faced space pirate's accidental child trafficking got him kicked out of the confederation of cosmic mercenaries. Stakar has a large team, including his sister Aleta (Michelle Yeoh), the crystal-skinned Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum), gruff Charlie-27 (Ving Rhames), and more. All of the aforementioned characters also appeared in the comics in one form or another, though their backgrounds will likely be changed to fit the narrative of future films.
Stan Lee's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Cameo Is More Important Than You Think
You can't watch a movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and not expect to see Stan Lee. The iconic comic-book writer, who's responsible for creating many of the Marvel heroes we hold dear, has popped up over and over again in cheeky cameos, but have his appearances been more important than a simple tip of the hat? Some fans seem to think so, and given his latest part in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, we're inclined to agree.
Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 below!
In the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, Lee appears not once but twice. We get our first glimpse of the Marvel chairman when Yondu, Rocket, Groot, and Kraglin are hopping through realms over a planet in their spaceship, where he's regaling a group of aliens on the surface with tales of his time as a FedEx employee (a reference to his cameo in Captain America: Civil War). The second time we see him is during the fifth and final postcredits scene, which is a continuation of his first appearance. He asks the aliens to stay and listen ("I've still got more stories to tell!"), but they get bored and walk away. The aliens he's talking to aren't random - they're members of The Watchers, an ancient extraterrestrial race in charge of passively observing everything that happens in the universe. Though they're all-seeing, The Watchers are banned from ever interfering in the phenomena of the universe (they're not called The Do-ers) (sorry). In fact, their behavior is pretty similar to how Lee behaves in all of his cameos, don't you think?
It turns out that Lee is indeed a member of The Watchers, and he's been playing the same "character" in all of his cameos this whole time. In an interview with The Radio Times, Guardians director James Gunn revealed he specifically chose to include the scenes with Lee as a nod to the Watchers theory fans have been wondering about for so long. "I mean, you know there's a lot of cool stuff that the fans come up with," he said. "A lot of stuff I don't agree with, you know, people have ideas about what they think should happen in the MCU. But I find the idea that Stan Lee is a Watcher, or that he works for the Watchers, is just a fun little nod to the fans."
The head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, further confirmed the theory. "We always thought it would be fun. Stan Lee clearly exists, you know, above and apart from the reality of all the films," he said. "So the notion that he could be sitting there on a cosmic pit stop during the jump gate sequence in Guardians was something very fun – James had that idea and we shot that cameo and loved it so much, you know, you see it a couple of times in the movie. It wasn't in for a long time and we put it back in towards the end of the process where he references that time he was a Federal Express agent – we thought it would be fun to put that in there because that really says, so wait a minute, he's this same character who's popped up in all these films."
The New Dairy Queen Blizzard Every Guardians of the Galaxy Fan MUST Try
Attention, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 fans: there's a new Dairy Queen blizzard that was made for you! In celebration of the new movie, which is out Friday, May 5, Dairy Queen has released the Guardians Awesome Mix Blizzard Treat, which has mini brookies (brownies and cookies baked together), caramel, and choco chunks blended with vanilla soft serve. The Blizzard is available now at participating Dairy Queen locations.
While we're pretty sure ice cream isn't part of Chris Pratt's 'what's my snack' series (healthy snacks only), we are sure that we want to eat ice cream with his face on it. The themed cups for the Blizzard will feature either Chris Pratt, Baby Groot, or another character. Whether you stop by Dairy Queen for a premovie snack or just want to try this chocolaty treat without even seeing the new Guardians, you'll have to act fast and grab this limited-edition Blizzard while you can.

Bradley Cooper Can't Stop Laughing on The Ellen Show, and Now Neither Can We
Bradley Cooper technically made his first postbaby appearance at the beginning of April when he stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to try and put an end to the host's selfie war with a teenager. But on Friday, he actually sat down in a chair with Ellen to talk about a handful of random things, and we love it so much. Bradley, who welcomed his first child, daughter Lea, with girlfriend Irina Shayk at the end of March, was a barrel of laughs when he talked about everything from being frequently mistaken for Zach Galifianakis to admitting that he googles himself in his free time. But the funniest part of all came when Ellen brought up that infamous scene with a fake baby in American Sniper. "I know you don't want to talk about the baby, but I knew you'd be a good father when I saw you in American Sniper," Ellen said. Bradley then laughs so hard while the audience rewatches the cringe-worthy scene.
It's Hard to Miss Who Kate Middleton's Stylist Channeled on Her Wedding Day
Stylist Natasha Archer - the woman behind Kate Middleton's countless elegant looks - got married at a chateau next to Bordeaux, France this past weekend. The Duchess of Cambridge's personal stylist married Chris Jackson, who also works closely with the royal family as a Getty Images photographer.
While the ceremony was stunning, we couldn't help but notice the major similarities between the dress Natasha wore and Kate's Alexander McQueen wedding dress - both have elegant lace sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, and a long train. We have to say we're not that surprised, since they clearly have similar taste in fashion. Scroll on to have a look at the similarities between the weddings dresses below.

This Modern Parenting Necessity Could Be Hurting Your Child's Speech
As modern technology has evolved to address the needs and desires of adults, it's also affected the way - or how often - children use technology. Although so-called screen time has been a blessing for many parents, a new study is outlining some alarming repercussions.
In a study that was presented at the 2017 Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting on May 4, researchers led by Dr. Catherine Birken found a link between screen time and speech delays in children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. The study has yet to be published for public viewing, however, the findings presented at the meeting have been widely reported.
According to CNN, the study had the parents of 900 different children record the amount of time their children spent using tablets, smartphones, or other gaming devices. Researchers then examined the children's speech using different language tests.
Of the 900 participants, 20 percent spent 28 minutes a day looking at a screen by the time they were 18 months old. The bad news? With every 30-minute increase in daily screen time, researchers noted a nearly 50 percent increased risk of speech delay - meaning a difficulty with producing speech sounds, as opposed to gestures.
That being said, this is the first study of its kind, and more research will also need to be done on whether different types of content could have varied effects on children. In an interview with CNN, Dr. Birken explained, "It's the first time that we've sort of shone a light on this potential issue, but I think the results need to be tempered [because] it's really a first look."
For now, Dr. Birken is advising parents to avoid screen time for any children younger than 18 months old.

It's Hard to Miss the Symbolism Behind Melania Trump's Yellow Christian Dior Dress
There is often a lot of symbolism behind Melania Trump's wardrobe choices. From the very first time she sparked controversy, opting for a pink Gucci pussy-bow blouse days after Donald Trump's infamous Accesss Hollywood conversation tape was leaked, we began reading into her well-considered looks.
While meeting the Australian prime minister in New York, Melania wore an asymmetrical Christian Dior dress. But it wasn't the silk crepe dress that caught everyone's attention, it was the shade of the dress that sparked conversation. It seems like Melania strategically chose the Dior number because it was Australia's national color - similar to the time she wore Valentino red upon meeting with China's president. Scroll to see Melania's yellow Christian Dior dress for yourself.

Nicole Richie's Man Chest Outfit on Lip Sync Battle Can't Be Unseen
Nicole Richie pulled out all the stops when she competed against John Michael Higgins during Thursday night's Lip Sync Battle. While her Great News costar performed a groovy version of Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual" (complete with the world's tightest pants), Nicole really stole the show with her Marky Mark impression. Singing "Good Vibrations" by Mark Wahlberg's hip-hop group, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, she threw it back to the '90s with a muscle t-shirt, baggy jeans, and a lot of pelvic thrusts. We definitely think Mark would be proud of those moves.

Gigi Hadid Found a Way For You to Wear Your Sports Bra to Dinner
The power of a sports bra extends beyond the gym, and Gigi Hadid just showed us a new way to style it. While out with sister Bella in NYC, the model wore a mesh bodysuit that showed off her black zip-up workout bra.

Given how revealing her top half was, the star chose to stay covered on the bottom. She wore a green flannel button-down with matching pants and a pair of black pointy-toed boots - casual, but cute enough to wear to dinner with friends. If you haven't worn a sports bra under your bodysuit, we think it's time you try. Ahead, get inspired then shop the look.
