Frankie Shaw Wore Chic Sneakers to the Globes, Because Comfort Over Everything
Sunday night's Golden Globes was filled with activism as many celebrities wore all black to protest against sexual harassment, but there was no lack of sparkle and shine throughout the crowd. In a sea of black gowns, there's one person who stood out on the floor and that's Frankie Shaw and her Puma sneakers. The SMILF creator and star flaunted her Fenty by Rihanna creeper sneakers with long silk laces wrapped around her ankles prior to the show on Facebook, because comfort is key for a long night.
Frankie received her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for best performance by an actress in a television series this year for the hilarious Showtime series SMILF. Although it's not her basketball slides as preferred in the show, Frankie's Puma kicks make for a perfectly chic pair of sneakers on the red carpet. Read on to see photos of the breakout star at the Globes, and shop her sneakers ahead.
Kelly Clarkson and Keith Urban Gave Us a Mini Duet, and Now We Want More
Keith Urban and Kelly Clarkson just beautifully announced an award at the #GoldenGlobes and now we all need a proper Keith/Kelly duet 😍 http://pic.twitter.com/zy0Mc5a0Ft

When you're Kelly Clarkson and Keith Urban, why would you want to simply speak when you sing like that? At the Golden Globes on Sunday night, the two singers surprised viewers with a little duet as they presented the award for best original song. Though this marked their first time singing together, Kelly did famously move Keith to tears back when she performed "Piece by Piece" on American Idol in 2016. If and when they decide to collaborate in the future, we'll definitely be listening.
The Globes Afterparties Bring More Bold, Beautiful Black Dresses to the Red Carpet
Even with the more serious fashion undertones that were prevalent on this year's 2018 Golden Globes carpet - plenty of Hollywood's stars supported the black dress initiative, a protest against sexual harassment and an extension of the Time's Up movement - afterparties are traditionally a time for letting loose. Still, the decision to wear black certainly continued throughout the night, though that's no reason to suspect these dresses were any less statement-making. Read on to see which floor-grazers were truly deserving of all the flashing lights.
65 of the Most Glamorous Photos From the Golden Globes!
The 2018 Golden Globes brought together some of the biggest stars from film, TV, and music. This year's show was especially one to watch, as nearly all of the celebrity attendees wore black as a symbol of protest against sexual misconduct in Hollywood, and many also sported Time's Up pins in support of the movement, which aims to combat workplace sexual harassment.
The mood of the show was anything but somber, however; inspiring speeches from Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, and Cecil B. DeMille Award-recipient Oprah Winfrey had the A-list audience moved to tears and on its feet. Between the motivating messages and activist vibe to the night, there were plenty of exciting moments to pore over. Keep reading to see the best photos of the night.

Reese Witherspoon couldn't help but fangirl over Oprah Winfrey at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. During the show, the actress had the great honor of presenting her A Wrinkle in Time costar with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Aside from gushing about how Oprah's amazing hugs could end wars, she also took a moment to thank her for being such an icon and an inspiration to women everywhere. "Thank you for your powerful contributions to the world of film and television," she said. "You've changed our lives." See the rest of her sweet introduction above.
Kerry Washington Just Showed Us How to Wear Pantone's Color of the Year
Kerry Washington looks stunning wherever she goes - and the Golden Globes were no exception. The Scandal star showed up with gorgeous waves and makeup in Pantone's Color of the Year: Ultra Violet.
Her hair was styled in a deep side part, and her voluminous beach waves cascaded past her shoulders, created by the Cerasilk Woven Ceramic Styling Iron ($115). The texturized look was both glamorous and sexy, a perfect complement to her sweet-looking makeup.
The star's makeup included vivid hues that made her brown eyes pop. Kerry wore Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine in Soft Mulberry ($9) and Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow + Built-in Primer in Cool Plum ($6) paired with long lashes that gave her a doll-eyed appearance. The purple hue was chosen by makeup artist Carola Gonzalez with a specific meaning in mind; the color represents "loyalty, purpose, and inserting steadfastness to a cause" to symbolize supporting woman's rights, a major theme of this year's Golden Globes.
Tommy Wiseau Finally Got the Golden Globes Moment of His Dreams . . . Kinda
Cult director Tommy Wiseau is one of the most enigmatic men in Hollywood, and his film The Room is one of the most fiercely hated (and, somehow, loved) movies in recent memory. At the 2018 Golden Globes, Wiseau got to have his moment in the sun - all thanks to James Franco, who brought Wiseau's story to life in the The Disaster Artist and took home the award for best actor in a comedy or musical.
Franco, who swore to bring Wiseau with him to the ceremony after he was nominated last year, invited the movie's subject to stand on stage with him as he collected his statue. But the actor's generosity came to a swift end when Wiseau attempted to steal the mic, Kanye style, prompting Franco to push Wiseau out of the spotlight that the director has, for so long, insisted he deserves.
Tommy Wiseau trying to steal the microphone during James Franco's acceptance speech is my favorite moment of 2018 so far. #GoldenGlobes http://pic.twitter.com/t5nmfYQKXi
- Jordan Ross (@TheJordanRoss) January 8, 2018
While Wiseau perhaps was not successful at fully stealing the show, he still got his moment on stage and, for many, put a face to a long-heard (and fabled) name. And let's be honest: for all intents and purposes, the director finally got the recognition that he so much felt he deserved when he sank a rumored $6 million into his legendary pet project. Scroll down to see just how Wiseau spent the night when his dreams finally (sort of) came true.

Caitriona Balfe is headed down the aisle! The Outlander actress revealed to People on Sunday that she recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Tony McGill. "It happened over the break. I'm very happy," she gushed. To make matters even more exciting, Caitriona debuted her beautiful diamond ring at the Golden Globes that same night.
Even though Tony didn't accompany Caitriona to the ceremony, the two have been going strong for almost two years now. They were photographed together at the 2017 Oscar Wilde Awards in February, and Tony was by her side at Jodie Foster's Hollywood star ceremony back in 2016. Congrats to the happy couple!

Read on to see Dakota's gorgeous gown below from all sides - but especially the back.
The Internet Is in a Tizzy Over What Color These Sneakers Actually Are
Move over, The Dress. There's a new optical illusion in town, The Sneaker, and it's blowing minds and starting fights all across the internet.
Weird!! I can see both pink and white or grey & teal depending on where I focus my eye first. So trippy. This beats the dress. http://pic.twitter.com/J1hWY3JUZ3
- Jen Lilley (@jen_lilley) October 13, 2017
It's been more than two years since The Dress divided households around the world into two camps: those who saw blue and black and those who swore it was white and gold. In the second week of October, however, it became instantly clear that there was a far more polarizing argument to be had. When you look at The Sneaker, do you see gray and teal? Or do you see pink and white? And, more importantly, is it even possible to see what it is that the opposing side sees?
Naturally, the internet had a lot of feelings about it. Here are some of the strongest arguments we came across on our Twitter travels:
If you said "pink and white" instead of "mint and gray" look at this pic for a second... http://pic.twitter.com/ViQXsomfgA

- Bella Fiori (@IsabellaLFiori) October 12, 2017
To be fair, a quick Google Image search will pretty solidly point to these shoes being pink and white Vans. But what if all this time, what we've considered pink and white has really been gray and teal? As the internet continues to rage on about what it is that it sees, we'll leave this up to you to decide. Just don't let it get between you and your loved ones, OK?
The 4 Pieces of Advice Barack Obama Gave Donald Trump on Inauguration Day
As President Donald Trump prepared to take office on Inauguration Day, Barack Obama quietly vacated the West Wing. But Obama left something behind during his exit: a letter, one that traditionally passes between two presidents as the highest office in the land changes hands. "We just went to the Oval Office and found this beautiful letter from President Obama. It was really very nice of him to do that," Trump bragged to the press several days later, adding, "We won't even tell the press what's in that letter."
On Sept. 2, CNN finally obtained that letter, exclusively. The missive is a reminder of the grace and well-spoken nature of the 44th president and a testament to the time he spent reflecting on the state of the union. Most notable, however, are the incredibly astute pieces of advice that Obama wanted to pass on to the new commander-in-chief. From a tip on leadership to a reminder about the importance of those you surround yourself with, the gracious "reflections" feel like a stolen moment between two incredibly powerful men.
Below you'll find the four items Obama put forth to Trump in the note he left on the Resolute desk of the Oval Office.
Remember those less fortunate than yourself.
"We've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard."
Lead by example, and lead the world.
"American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend."
Protect the American democracy and its institutions.
"We are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions - like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties - that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them."
Spend time with your loved ones.
"Take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches."

In other words, you'd be hard pressed to find a platform that gets quite as much engagement on the stories of the day, every day - and why its annual year in review is essential reading for any reasonable person who spends time on the internet.
So in order to properly bid adieu to 2017, ahead you'll find the top 10 most upvoted posts of 2017. These are the subjects that attracted the most Redditors over the course of the year and are a testament to the power of shared passions and feelings.

Maxine Waters's Tweet About Trump and Roy Moore Is the Purest Definition of Savage
Time and time again, Rep. Maxine Waters has proved that she's sure as hell not afraid to candidly express her thoughts about controversial political figures, whether it be on social media, during television appearances, or at political events. You certainly don't want to be on the California congresswoman's bad side, and it looks like President Donald Trump has officially sealed the No. 1 spot on her sh*t list, with Roy Moore coming in a close second place.
When Moore lost the Alabama Senate race to Democrat Doug Jones on Dec. 12 - a historic and notable moment for the deeply red state - Waters couldn't resist tossing in her two cents on the election results. She immediately fired off an epic (and, yes, rather savage) tweet aimed at Trump, who adamantly pleaded for votes in Moore's favor during the Alabama Senate race.
How many diet cokes did Trump consume while he gulped and waited for the defeat of his pedophile candidate?? #swishswish
- Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) December 13, 2017
The tweet digs at Trump's alarming Diet Coke addiction (ICYMI, the POTUS reportedly tosses back a whopping dozen cans of the beverage each day) while also referencing Moore's recent onslaught of sexual assault allegations. And can we please just discuss her hysterical hashtag choice? All we have to say is LOL. This woman has truly solidified her title as the ultimate Queen of Sass.
Needless to say, people are absolutely living for her shade-throwing abilities, which some may compare to that of a freakin' full-grown oak tree.

The Heartbreaking Photos That Capture a Tragic Birth Story
"It was so beautiful and precious. I would do it again, and again, and again," Julie told Ela Wunderli of Itsy Photography, who photographed the birth of her seventh child, Lily, who would die shortly after birth.
In her 36th week of pregnancy, Julie and her family moved from Arizona to California. Having given birth six times before, Julie was an old pro at this pregnancy thing and was having a happy, normal pregnancy. Mixed into her week of unpacking and settling was a doctor's appointment at her new OB/Gyn practice. "At the appointment they wanted to do an ultrasound where they discovered many concerns," she said. "By the next day the doctors told us that our daughter most likely had Trisomy 13 or 18, but they couldn't be sure until after she was born and tested."
Trisomy is the presence of three chromosomes instead of one. The most commonly known trisomy is Trisomy 21, otherwise known as Down syndrome. Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) are genetic disorders that include health problems that affect almost every organ of the body. They are fatal diagnoses - more than half of babies affected with the conditions do not survive the first week of life, and survivors do not usually make it past their first birthday.
The room was filled with anticipation during the 20 hours of labor. "Everyone held their breath to see if she would survive the delivery," Ela shared. "She held her breath too! But when the doctors tried to intubate her, she let out a tiny cry and started to breathe on her own. It was a miracle!"
Baby Lily was put on a CPAP (a breathing assistance machine) and rushed to the NICU for monitoring. Later that morning, her siblings arrived to visit her. After receiving hand-washing lessons, they filed into the NICU to welcome their baby sister. Each child had an opportunity to touch her and welcome her in their own way, before moving on to Julie's room to spend some time with mom. Later that day, Julie spent some time with Lily in the NICU, and Ela had the opportunity to capture their moments together.
"I couldn't have been happier to have caught her tiny eyes opening - even if it was only for a split second," Ela shared. "She cried a tiny little cry - and I must say it was like music to hear."
Lily lived for two and a half days. During that time her family showered her with love and threw her first and second birthday parties. She passed away peacefully - tube and wire free - in her mother's arms. Her family wrote her a beautiful obituary:
. . . She spent two-and-a-half celestial days with us. We celebrated her first birthday with lilies, handwritten birthday cards from her brothers and sisters, and a big shiny balloon in the shape of a number one. On her second birthday, we gathered round her. We held her. We hugged her and kissed her again and again. We told her how much we loved her, and how we were going to miss her so very much. And we said good-bye. For now.
Though heartbreaking, Ela says the entire two and a half days were beautiful. "I've never seen a mother so radiant and glowing. The faith of this family was beyond measure."
Read on to see the captivating photos Ela took that the family will cherish forever.
This Ikea Hack For Families Who Cosleep Is Truly Genius
If your kiddos are the type to wake up in the middle of the night and crawl into your bed, or you got sick of that and already started cosleeping so that everyone can get some shut-eye, this incredible Ikea hack may just be the solution to making sure everyone's limbs are kept to themselves while still having the security of all being together in one bed.
Mama and professional photographer, Elizabeth Boyce, has six kiddos - five of which are under 11 years old - and when sleeping in one bed with toddlers and tripping over older kids on the floor in the middle of the night got to be a bit much, she used her craftiness and some materials she already had to create this cosleeping masterpiece from a couple of Ikea Kura beds and a ton of comfy mattresses.
Elizabeth shared the steps to creating this bed that has room for two grown adults and five children on her blog, but really, the setup was simple. She used the two Kura beds to create pseudo bunk beds for her four middle kiddos, and placed a giant king-size mattress in the middle for her and her husband, and their youngest, Elijah.
So far everyone is loving the bed - the idea was to give everyone enough space to sleep better, and it seems to be working out well for them. Though the bed is one cohesive unit, each child has their own space to sleep with their stuffed animals and pillows, and Elizabeth says, "They are staying in their own beds, which is a miracle!"
This is the bed every cosleeping family didn't even know they needed. Send your thank you notes to Elizabeth, because she is a true genius.
To see where everyone sleeps and how they make it all work, see the photo below.
A School Asked For 50 Men to Come to a "Breakfast With Dad" Event - 600 Showed Up
When school administrators at Dade Middle School in Dallas, TX, decided to organize a "Breakfast With Dad" event for their male students, they were nervous not enough fathers would actually show up. So to bolster the attendance rate, they put out a call for help on Facebook, asking for 50 men to come to the event as "stand-in" dads for students whose fathers couldn't make it or weren't present in their lives. And, well, they got a little more help than they ever bargained for.
The school's request spread like wildfire, and come the day of the event, 600 men from Northern Texas showed up to lend a helping hand. The volunteers did everything from engaging the boys in casual conversation to teaching them how to tie their ties. Excuse us while we mop up our tears.
Rev. Donald Parish Jr. of True Lee Missionary Baptist Church told The Dallas News why it's so important for middle-school-age boys to participate in events like this. "When a young person sees someone other than their teacher take interest in them, it inspires them. That's what we want to see happen. These kids need all the support they can get to be successful."

Infuriated by His Daughter's Sexist School Activities, This Dad Wrote a Letter About "Gender Lines"
I wrote a letter http://pic.twitter.com/oFJp7egVnf
- Grumplestiltskin (@2FBS) December 6, 2017
A dad in New South Wales, Australia, made sure his opinion was heard after his daughter told him about the sexism she experienced at school. The dad, Stephen Callaghan, wrote a letter to his daughter Ruby's school after she explained the gender-specific activities planned as a celebration for her year-six graduation. The girls were scheduled to get their hair and makeup done in the school library, and the boys were to be sent on a trip to Bunnings, a hardware-store chain. Stephen didn't find it very appropriate to divide the celebratory activities in such a clear way - who's assuming all the girls want hair and makeup done and wouldn't prefer to go to the store?
In a letter to the principal that Stephen shared on Twitter, he wrote, "When Ruby left for school yesterday it was 2017, but when she returned home in the afternoon she was from 1968." After explaining the activities Ruby informed him about, he continued to sarcastically ask, "Are you able to search the school buildings for a space-time continuum? Perhaps there is a faulty Flux Capacitor hidden away in the girls toilet block?" referencing Back to the Future. In a separate tweet, Stephen mentioned his daughter wants to be an engineer and doesn't "give a rat's arse about make-up."
My daughter's end of year activities for Year 6.
Girls - hair and make-up in the school library
Boys - DIY workshop at Bunnings.
Sigh.
Will things ever change?
My daughter wants to be an engineer. She doesn't give a rat's arse about make-up.- Grumplestiltskin (@2FBS) December 6, 2017
Ruby and I would like to thank you for the great comments of support. At 12 years of age my daughter is starting to notice there are plenty of people prepared to tell her what she can & can't do based solely on the fact she is female.
She would like this to change.
So would I.- Grumplestiltskin (@2FBS) December 7, 2017
Many people responding to the tweets seem to have had similar experiences with their kids. Here's hoping the dad's letter doesn't go unanswered.

The Hilarious Reason Allison Janney Had a Bird on Her Shoulder at the Golden Globes
Sebastian & Allison #GoldenGlobes http://pic.twitter.com/OJML84ZU0W
- sebastian barnes (@marvelunsolved) January 8, 2018
If you haven't seen I, Tonya, you might have wondered if the fake bird on Allison Janney's shoulder at the Golden Globes was just an interesting accessory. But if you have seen the buzzworthy movie (as you should!), you know that the bird was a funny nod to Janney's character, LaVona Harding, who spends much of the movie sitting down with a drink in hand and a pet bird on her fur coat-covered shoulder while she answers interview questions. The scenes are based on real-life footage of LaVona, Tonya's mother, and Janney's reenactment in I, Tonya is totally spot on.
On Sunday, Janney sported the "pet bird" as she joined actor Sebastian Stan on stage to talk about I, Tonya's three Golden Globe nominations, and she soon after took home the award for best supporting actress.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Janney talked about how much she loved working with the bird, whom she called Little Man. "I gotta find out what his real name is because he's one of my favorite scene partners I've ever worked with. I knew it was my job to make it look like I had a relationship with the bird, that we'd been together for a long time," she said.

7 Moments That Made the Golden Globes Worth Watching
This year's Golden Globes Awards weren't really about the talented winners or the buzzy films and TV shows. Instead, the usually Champagne-soaked event had a more serious tone. With nearly all of its attendees in black to reflect the current climate of putting a lid on sexual harassment, the show confronted Hollywood's ills head-on . . . oh, and still managed to honor the night's winners. There were a lot of moments that made the show worth watching - here they are now.
No One Could Keep It Together During James Franco's Golden Globes Speech
Oh, hai! It took a while, but @TommyWiseau just made it on the stage at the #GoldenGlobes as James Franco accepts his award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. http://pic.twitter.com/9ticZ4cHVb
- Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 8, 2018
James Franco took home the award for best actor in a musical or comedy at the 2018 Golden Globes, but it was his hilarious speech that had everyone in the room laughing (well, besides Hugh Jackman). The 39-year-old actor was joined on stage by actor Tommy Wiseau, who starred in 2003's widely panned film, The Room, which The Disaster Artist is based upon, and recalled Tommy's eventful night at the Globes 19 years ago when he couldn't get inside. Franco ended his speech thanking his longtime friends, including costar Seth Rogen, and his younger brother, Dave Franco. "I always said I wanted my own Coen brother, someone to collaborate with," he said. "I realize this year I had my own Franco brother. I love him more than anything." Cue the awws.

When Aziz Ansari walked away with the best actor in a musical or comedy television series award at the Golden Globes on Sunday night for his role in the Netflix show Master of None, no one was more surprised than Aziz himself.
"I genuinely didn't think I was going to win because all of the websites said I was going to lose," a shocked Aziz said during his acceptance speech, before getting bleeped out when describing what it would have felt like if he had lost out on the award two years in a row. "I'm glad we won this one because it would've really sucked to lose two of these in a row; it would've been a really sh*tty moment for me, but this is nice."
In addition to thanking the cast and crew of Master of None, the show Aziz created and stars in as the frustrated actor Dev Shah, Aziz gave a shout-out to the country that inspired much of the second season.
"I want to thank Italy for all of the amazing food we ate in season two," Aziz said, before thanking his parents - who also play his parents on the show - "for giving me so much love."
Aziz's accomplishment is a historic win, as he becomes the first Asian-American to nab an acting honor in the television category. If there's something that Aziz is a master of, it's winning big.
Seth Meyers Did Not Hold Back in His Golden Globes Opening Monologue
The tone was decidedly different at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. Following a difficult year, celebrities wore pins in honor of the Time's Up initiative and all-black ensembles to protest sexual harassment in the industry and stand in solidarity with those who have come forward. The task, then, of hosting this year's ceremony - bestowed upon Seth Meyers - was not an easy one.
The 44-year-old comedian and talk show host was unflinchingly honest in his opening monologue, which touched on the current political landscape, Harvey Weinstein, and the Me Too movement. As an indication of just how honest the monologue was setting up to be, Meyers began by saying, "Welcome, ladies and remaining gentlemen." Watch the monologue in its entirety above and then check out his best jokes here.

Sterling K. Brown can give one heck of a speech. During the Golden Globes on Sunday night, the This Is Us actor took a moment to talk about representation in Hollywood when he accepted his first win for best actor in a drama - marking the first win for a black actor in this category. After making sure he thanked his wife, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Brown took a moment to thank This Is Us creator and writer Dan Fogelman for writing his beloved character, Randall Pearson. "You wrote a role for a black man," he said, "that can only be played by a black man. I'm being seen for who I am." Brown's speech certainly comes at the perfect time, as Hollywood continues to make more efforts to be more inclusive. Be sure to check out the rest of his moving speech above.
The 7 Best Jokes From Seth Meyers's Opening Monologue at the 2018 Golden Globes
Seth Meyers took the stage at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards against a backdrop of social change and protest - and all things considered, he knocked it out of the park.
While not every joke landed, his opening monologue skillfully touched on the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, Harvey Weinstein, President Donald Trump's first year in office, and the evolving landscape of Hollywood. Meyers also acknowledged the fact that he was the first celebrity to take the stage at an award ceremony since allegations started trickling in three months ago, and it's worth noting that he did so in a way that only he could. Below, check out seven of the best moments from Meyers's 2018 opening monologue.
- "Welcome, ladies and remaining gentlemen." - Tackling the myriad firings, suspensions, and retirements that have come as a result of the #MeToo movement.
- "Marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn't!" - Noting the sea of changes in policy in Hollywood and elsewhere.
- "Remember when Seth Rogen was the guy making trouble with North Korea? Simpler times." - On Trump's ongoing feud with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
- "Don't worry; he'll be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person to be booed during the In Memoriam." - On how Hollywood will handle Harvey Weinstein going forward.
- "We're here tonight because of the Hollywood Foreign Press association - a string of three words that could not have been better designed to infuriate our president: Hollywood Foreign Press. The only thing worse would be 'Hilary Mexico Salad Association.'" - Again pointing out the current tumultuous presidency.
- "When I first heard there would be a movie where a woman falls in love with a disgusting sea monster, I thought, 'Oh, man, not another Woody Allen movie . . .'" - Joking about The Shape of Water's nomination.
- "Oprah Winfrey is receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award tonight. What a tremendous honor for Cecil B. DeMille." - On Oprah receiving the legendary award.
American Crime Story: What You Need to Know About Gianni Versace’s Tragic Murder
Image Source: Getty / Michel Arnaud
The next season of American Crime Story is getting closer, and thanks to a last-minute switch, it's focusing on an entirely different subject. What was once a season centered around the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has switched places with what used to be the third installment: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. (The Katrina season is still happening, for the record; it's slated to be the show's third season.) The release of the Versace season has been set for Wednesday, Jan. 17, so in the meantime we can brush up on the facts of the chilling crime. What happened to Gianni Versace? Here are the facts.
A Brief History of the Killer
The name of Versace's killer was Andrew Cunanan (who will be played by Darren Criss). In the two weeks leading up to the murder, Cunanan had killed four other people. His victims were ex-Navy lieutenant Jeffrey Trail, 28, a friend; Minneapolis architect David Madson, 33, a former lover; Chicago developer Lee Miglin, 72, whose relationship to Cunanan is unknown; and William Reese, 45, a cemetery caretaker in New Jersey. Cunanan stole Reese's pickup truck and used it for the final portion of his journey.
The Murder of Versace
Gianni Versace (set to be played by Édgar Ramírez) touched down in Miami on July 10, 1997, five days before his murder. He immediately went to Casa Casuarina, his Miami Beach retreat, with his partner Antonio D'Amico (who will be portrayed by Ricky Martin). At that point, Cunanan was already in town.
On July 15, 1997, sometime around 8 a.m., Versace left on his own and walked to a local cafe to buy magazines. He walked home, and just as he put the key in his lock, he was shot twice. The first shot was directly into his face, at point-blank range. He was shot again in the neck, just behind the left ear. The call went in to the police at 8:45 a.m. D'Amico recently recalled how he felt in that moment: "I heard the shot. My heart just stopped to beat . . . So I ran out and then I saw Gianni laying down on the stairs in blood."

Police Involvement, Possible Motives, and the Chase
Carlos Noriega, a lieutenant, was one of the first police men on the case. An early theory was that this had been a contract hit, organized by the mafia. The clue was a dead bird found next to the body. However, further evidence suggested that the bird was just an unfortunate collateral victim - it was hit by a bullet fragment.
Lazaro Quintana, a friend of Versace, followed the gunman. Eventually, the police were in on the chase, and they came across the first evidence. They found a pile of clothes, the stolen pick-up from New Jersey, and a bunch of identification. The police had their suspect three hours after the crime: Andrew Cunanan.
The Final Stand and All the Unanswered Questions
The search for Andrew Cunanan lasted nine days. Finally, the police received a tip. On July 24, a shot had been heard on a houseboat, just a few miles from where Versace had been murdered. Police surrounded the houseboat and remained there for four hours. Finally, the SWAT team fired tear gas and went in.
When the police boarded the boat, Cunanan was already dead. He had shot himself in the temple with the same gun he'd used to kill Versace. Cunanan's suicide left the world with more questions than answers. The police could not draw a connection between the two men, nor could they pin down a motive. They weren't even sure Cunanan and Versace had ever previously crossed paths. It remains one of the most puzzling crimes in recent history, even more than 20 years later.
If American Crime Story creator Ryan Murphy follows the same formula he did for The People v. O.J. Simpson, chances are we'll get a lot more backstory. After all, Murphy included a jarring scene where O.J. Simpson contemplated suicide, and that did actually happen. In order to fill in the blanks and complete the story, Murphy also took a bit of artistic license. Does that mean we'll leave the season with a sense of how everything might be connected? It sure seems like it.
Everything You Didn't Know About the Cecil B. DeMille Award

The 2018 recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award was Oprah Winfrey, who gave a speech that we can safely say will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches any awards show has ever seen. In case you're wondering exactly what the award is, though, here's the 411 on that.
The honorary award has been around since 1952 (the Golden Globes themselves date back to 1943), and the reason the award is called the Cecil B. DeMille Award is because the famous director was its first recipient, at the age of 71.
Image Source: Getty / Bettman
Cecil B. DeMille got his start in silent movies but worked until the late 1950s, finishing his last project less than a year before he died, at the age of 77. He is best known for The Ten Commandments and The Greatest Show on Earth, for which he earned his first Golden Globe win and first Oscar nomination.
The award was established to honor someone who has made "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment." Past winners include Walt Disney, Fred Astaire, Bob Hope, Judy Garland (the first female winner), Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Poitier (the first African-American winner), Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, and now Oprah Winfrey, the first female African-American recipient.
During her speech, Winfrey said that she remembered watching Poitier win this award and how profound an affect that had on her as a young girl.
"It is not lost on me that, at this moment, there is some little girl watching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award," she said. "It is an honor and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them."
Winfrey ended the speech by saying that a new dawn is coming for women everywhere - and her passion makes it hard not to believe it.
Jennifer Lawrence Is the World's Most Dangerous Spy in the Red Sparrow Trailer
After everything she went through for Mother!, we have a feeling there are few things Jennifer Lawrence can't handle. And the trailer for her new movie, Red Sparrow, is proof. Lawrence plays Dominika Egorova, a former ballerina who becomes a spy, manipulator, and master of seduction in order to protect her mother. When an American CIA agent (Joel Edgerton) comes crashing into her life, Dominika's world is turned upside down. Red Sparrow also stars Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeremy Irons and hits theaters on March 2, 2018.
Sam Rockwell Delivers a Touching Acceptance Speech Covered in Leslie Bibb's Lipstick
Congratulations to Sam Rockwell! He's honored with Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for his role in @3Billboards! #GoldenGlobes http://pic.twitter.com/4x7xBxCAq8
- Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 8, 2018
While accepting the Golden Globe for best supporting actor for his work on Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Sam Rockwell not only joked about needing Imodium to control his excitement, but also got sentimental when talking about the compassion in this movie - and he did it all with girlfriend Leslie Bibb's lipstick all over his mouth. Leslie, who said during a preshow interview that she was so excited for Sam to be getting the recognition she thought he deserved, couldn't help but plant one on him when his name was announced as the winner of his very first Golden Globe.
After gushing over "being in a movie that people see," Sam closed his speech by thanking Leslie for making him laugh when he takes himself too seriously and urging everyone listening to show the compassion the world needs these days. Cheers to Sam on his first Golden Globe win!
Grab Some Tissues, Because Sterling K. Brown Has Revealed When Jack Will Die on This Is Us
The focus of Sterling K. Brown's night at the Golden Globe Awards might have been on his incredible win (and acceptance speech) for his role on This Is Us, but the actor also managed to drop a few spoilers about the hit NBC family drama. While walking the red carpet with wife Ryan Michelle Bathe on Sunday, Brown stopped to chat with E! News during their Golden Globes pre-show, where he let slip a significant clue about when Jack Pearson's death will finally happen onscreen.
"Before this season is over we will see how Jack Pearson dies," Brown confirmed to Ryan Seacrest. "I won't say too much more about it, but there's only eight episodes, so it will happen soon."
The show is in the midst of its emotional second season, which has seen some great arcs for Brown's character, Randall Pearson. Randall and wife Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) set out on an adoption journey, and further fueled the theory-heavy fandom that surrounds the award-winning show. When This Is Us returns, not only can we expect a conclusion to the Jack saga, but also Randall's tense confrontation with his brother Kevin (Justin Hartley), who closed out the Winter finale by driving drunk with Randall's daughter in the car.
The Good, the Bad, and the Extremely Ugly: What Critics Are Saying About Bright
I have to hand it to Bright - the concept behind the film, which takes place in an alternate version of LA where orcs, fairies, and elves live alongside humans, genuinely intrigued me. The idea of Will Smith and Joel Edgerton playing a pair of mismatched cops - Daryl Ward (Smith), a human man, and Nick Jakoby (Edgerton), an orc - who must overcome their differences and their community's racism to keep a magic wand from getting into the hands of an evil elf (Noomi Rapace) was enough to make me stop and say, "You know what? I'll give this insane movie a shot."
Not to mention, Netflix poured a reported $90 million into the project led by Suicide Squad director David Ayer and screenwriter Max Landis and already greenlit a sequel. It couldn't bomb that hard, could it? According to some critics: yes, yes it could. There have been some positive responses to Bright so far, sure, but on the whole, the critiques have been damning. See exactly what they're saying below.
The Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFore called the fantasy-gritty cop mashup "plenty embarrassing" and said that it's "awkward enough to make Cowboys & Aliens look like a stroke of genius." He added: "Stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton play it mostly straight here, doing their part to sell the dopey premise, but the screenplay offers viewers little reward for our own suspension of disbelief. The supernatural elements are so poorly explained and implemented they make us wish we were watching some generic reality-based policier instead."
The Wrap
The Wrap's Todd Gilchrist did not mince words: "If this new Netflix production exemplifies Ayer's creativity unfettered by major-studio interference, I'll take a lousy DC movie over . . . whatever this is any day of the week. Astoundingly bad in virtually every way, Bright shares in common several of the shortcomings of Ayer's previous film, including conspicuous evidence of desperate efforts to cobble its under-explained and yet somehow overcomplicated mythology into something coherent."
IndieWire
IndieWire's David Erlich put it bluntly: "There's boring, there's bad, and then there's Bright, a movie so profoundly awful that Republicans will probably try to pass it into law over Christmas break. From the director of Suicide Squad and the writer of Victor Frankenstein comes a fresh slice of hell that somehow represents new lows for them both - a dull and painfully derivative ordeal that that often feels like it was made just to put those earlier misfires into perspective. The only thing more predictable than this high-concept police story is the idea that a year as punishing as 2017 would save the worst for last."
The Guardian
If you're one of the few who enjoyed Bright, you're not alone. The Guardian's Steve Rose commended the film for taking risks, saying, "For all its flaws, Bright is still a headlong leap into a bracingly different new world. Cinema could do with more of that." He also praised Edgerton's performance, writing that he "gives his orc character a credible blend of timidity, dignity and inner turmoil."
Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair's Jordan Hoffman wrote of the film's potential to ruin Netflix's big Hollywood debut. "There is a whiff of an interesting idea in there, but it is buried in tedious scenes lacking clear direction, endless generic (and poorly lit) shoot-outs, and cringeworthy sequences of allegedly witty banter. This movie is an absolute wreck - which is unfortunate, as it is also something of a big debut for Netflix's original-films shingle."
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times called it "less than thrilling" and questioned its sequel potential. "It's hard to imagine Bright inspiring anyone to want to see or make a full-blown series of films. Aside from a few nifty ideas and the occasional amusing or exciting scene, this film is a chore."
Vulture
Vulture's Emily Yoshida took issue with the film's choice to merely skim the surface when it came to exploring its racial undertones (even if that was for the best). "Bright turns out to be more interested in its mythrilpunk world-building than any kind of social commentary, which is a good thing, because while it is so-so at the former (the plot holes in this thing), it is clearly out of its depth with the latter," she wrote.
Fortune
Fortune's Scott Mendelson declared Bright "a giant Christmas/Hanukah gift from Netflix to the major studios" since it shows the streaming giant might not be as big of a threat to them as they think. "Congratulations, Netflix!" he writes. "You can make a visually grotesque, dreadfully dull and hopelessly convoluted would-be franchise action movie just as well as the stereotypical Hollywood machine!"
Variety
Variety's Peter Debruge was a huge fan of the daring genre bender. "Bright is the best Netflix original movie to date, and it absolutely deserves to be seen on the big screen, though don't let that stop you from watching it home, as End of Watch director David Ayer's welcome return to the cop-movie genre - following a disastrous wrong turn into Suicide Squad territory, of which we will say no more - fills an intense, grown-up movie niche that Hollywood once did so well, but has since replaced with formula-driven product."
Stars Kept the Zingers Comin' at This Year's Golden Globes
Despite the overall powerful message at this year's Golden Globes, many people in attendance still took the time to slide in a joke or quip while on the main stage. Whether it was host Seth Meyers calling out Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein or the winners throwing a joke into their speeches, there were plenty of entertaining moments to go around. Keep reading for some of our favorites, and make sure to check out all the winners!
John Goodman and Roseanne Barr Had a Joke-Filled Reunion at the Golden Globes
Reunited after all this time, here are @therealroseanne and John Goodman to present Best Television Series - Drama. #GoldenGlobes http://pic.twitter.com/4HBTQQfKWK
- Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 8, 2018
John Goodman and Roseanne Barr are back together again! The costars on the long-running sitcom Roseanne linked up to present the award for best television series, drama, at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, where they couldn't resist cracking a few jokes.
"I'm known for creating some great drama," Barr joked to the audience before Goodman cut in, saying, "Yeah, not the kind you get awards for."
The pair have reunited after nearly 20 years for the upcoming Roseanne reboot on ABC. Although Goodman's character, Dan, died in the finale, the writers couldn't resist bringing him back. He recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss his return to the beloved show, during which he gushed about his reunion with the rest of the cast.
"It was like we wrapped last week instead of 20 years ago," Goodman said. "The hair on my arms stands up. It's like if I was going to put my Boy Scouts uniform on again and it still fit." Watch their cute Golden Globes moment above!
Everything You Need to Know About Golden Globe Nominee Mudbound
One of the buzziest movies celebrated at the Golden Globes was Mudbound, a film which has earned Mary J. Blige nominations for both best supporting actress and best original song in a motion picture. The film first debuted at Sundance Film Festival last Winter and was snapped up by Netflix in a small bidding war in early 2017 before being released on the streaming site in November.
For those who opted to check out Netflix's more viral end-of-year items like A Christmas Prince and Bright, though, you might be wondering why it is that this film has gotten so much love from the critics and features so prominently in the award season circuit. So, here's a crash course on what you need to know about Mudbound.
Cowritten and directed by the acclaimed Dee Rees, the historical drama picture centers on a pair of families whose sons fight in World War II and who are irreversibly altered by both combat and their life-changing interactions with people of another race.
Back at home, the McAllan family (Garrett Hedlund, Carey Mulligan, and Jason Clarke) is headed up by Pappy (Jonathan Banks), an elder white man whose affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan makes him both mean and dangerous to their neighboring family, the Jacksons (Blige, Rob Morgan, and Jason Mitchell). The Jacksons are impoverished black tenant farmers who are working toward owning a parcel of land all their own, and although the two are in remarkably similar straits when it comes to their various personal hardships, Pappy continues to degrade the Jacksons.
That all changes once the grown children of each family discover their common bonds - through hard luck that threatens their livelihood, physical wounds, and the mental anguish of war - and the soldier sons in particular form a bond that only fuels Pappy's hatred.
What becomes of all of them is equal parts upsetting, satisfying, and brutally honest in this feature-length examination of what happens when people who are convinced to fear each other finally discover the banality of hate.
Mudbound is now available for viewing on Netflix.
Nicole Kidman's Powerful Golden Globes Acceptance Speech Praises "Power of Women"
"Wow! The power of women." Nicole Kidman takes the stage after winning Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or a Motion Picture Made for TV at the #GoldenGlobes. http://pic.twitter.com/8H5pL89usJ
- Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 8, 2018
Nicole Kidman's performance in Big Little Lies continues to rake in accolades. After winning an Emmy back in September, the actress took home the Golden Globe award for best performance by an actress in a limited series or a motion picture on Sunday night for her role as Celeste in the HBO drama. As usual, her speech was not to be missed.
"Sunny, Faith, I'm bringing this home to you, babies," she began, referencing her and Keith Urban's two young daughters. She went on to gush over costars Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Zoë Kravitz, saying they "pledged allegiance to each other" before remarking, "Wow, the power of women."
She went on to praise her own mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, for the strong female guidance she provided growing up, as well the impact she hopes Celeste's story will leave on pop culture. "My mom was an advocate for the women's movement growing up, and standing here, my achievements are her achievements," she said. "This character I played represents something at the center of our conversation right now: abuse. I hope we can elicit change . . . let's keep the conversation alive."
Kerry Washington Just Showed Us How to Wear Pantone's Color of the Year
Kerry Washington looks stunning wherever she goes - and the Golden Globes were no exception. The Scandal star showed up with gorgeous waves and makeup in Pantone's Color of the Year: Ultra Violet.
Her hair was styled in a deep side part, and her voluminous beach waves cascaded past her shoulders, created by the Cerasilk Woven Ceramic Styling Iron ($115). The texturized look was both glamorous and sexy, a perfect complement to her sweet-looking makeup.
The star's makeup included vivid hues that made her brown eyes pop. Kerry wore Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine in Soft Mulberry ($9) and Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow + Built-in Primer in Cool Plum ($6) paired with long lashes that gave her a doll-eyed appearance. The purple hue was chosen by makeup artist Carola Gonzalez with a specific meaning in mind; the color represents "loyalty, purpose, and inserting steadfastness to a cause" to symbolize supporting woman's rights, a major theme of this year's Golden Globes.
Don't Call Her Khaleesi! Emilia Clarke's Icy Strands Are All Her Own
Image Source: Valerie Macon
Emilia Clarke had one of the best smiles on the Golden Globes red carpet, and if we had her platinum blonde hair, we'd be happy, too. Of course, Emilia's icy strands remind us all of a certain Khaleesi, but this is no copycat look.
More modern than medieval, Emilia's sleek lob is a far cry from Khaleesi's long, curly style. If you recall, Emilia dyed her chocolate-brown hair blonde back in September. That look came courtesy of Game of Thrones lead hairstylist Kevin Alexander and hairdresser Candice Banks, who designed the mother of dragon's wig.
Months later, as her dark roots show ever so slightly, Emilia has made the rocker-chic style all her own. Her brown brows also contrast beautifully with her frosty strands. Khaleesi who? This hair is all Emilia.
Issa Rae's Golden Globes Beauty Look Is Stunning Even From the Back
When we saw Issa Rae's Golden Globes makeup, we were totally entranced. Then the star turned around and we fell in love with her hair.
Issa rocked metallic plum and maroon eye shadow from CoverGirl's TruNaked Roses Eyeshadow Palette ($13) and charcoal shadow as liner that made her deep eyes pop. Her violet-themed eye makeup was paired with CoverGirl Melting Pout Metallics in Unplugged ($8). Her skin looked flawless and dewy, and we thought the look couldn't get any better until we saw the Insecure star's 'do.
The actress's hair was pulled back into an elaborate and elegant chignon at the nape of her neck, which completed her award-worthy beauty look.
We Can't Tear Our Eyes Away From Rachel Brosnahan's Gravity-Defying Ballerina Bun
The Golden Globes red carpet was filled with a plethora of head-turning beauty looks, but Rachel Brosnahan's gorgeous getup certainly stood out among the sea of black dresses. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star, who took home the award for best comedy actress in a television musical or comedy, wore her hair in the most mesmerizing ballerina bun that immediately caught our attention.
Celebrity hairdresser Ted Gibson took the reigns with Rachel's locks, pulling them into an updo that was perfectly perched atop her head all evening. Nestled in her picture-perfect bun were three black rose-shaped embellishments that nearly blended in with her brown hair and perfectly matched the design of her black gown.
As for makeup, Rachel went for a fresh-faced, '60s-esque look with Laura Mercier products. Makeup artist Lisa Aharon began by prepping Rachel's skin with Perfecting Water Moisture Mist ($38) and her lips with Infusion de Rose Nourishing Lip Balm ($24). To master that flawless, glowing complexion, Lisa applied Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation ($48) and Candleglow Concealer and Highlighter ($32) to her skin, then used a foundation brush to pat a bit of Creme Cheek Colour ($25) in the Canyon shade over the apples and high points of her cheeks.
To achieve Rachel's smoldering eye makeup, she blended the Amethyst and Burnished Bronze shades of Laura Mercier's Caviar Stick Eye Color ($29) and followed it up with Long Lash Mascara ($26) and a bit of Longwear Crème Eye Pencil ($25) in Noir.
Ahead, see Rachel's gorgeous hairstyle and natural makeup from all angles - and be sure to zoom in on those floral hair accessories!

There's Only 1 Word to Describe Halle Berry's Golden Globes Beauty Look: Bangin'
Is there any such thing as a boring Halle Berry beauty moment? We think not. The actress, who debuted her natural hair at the Oscars last year, kicked off the 2018 award season at the Golden Globes glowing like an actual Golden Globe.
Halle walked the red carpet flaunting tousled bangs and a chic long ponytail, appropriate for the red carpet and beyond. Her skin was beaming thanks to Jorge Monroy for Armani Beauty. He prepped and perfected Halle's skin with Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ($64). Her highlight was a blend of Fluid Sheer ($62) in #6 and #11, and Sun Fabric Bronzer ($56) gave her complexion added warmth.
To finish Halle's effortless slay, Jorge topped her lips off with the perfect neutral combo: Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine in Nuda ($38) and Silenzio, both of which we'll be carrying in our makeup bag from now on.
Get a better look at Halle in all her red carpet glory ahead.
A Lesson in Styling a Pixie Cut, Straight From Kate Hudson at the Golden Globes
Since shaving her head for a role last year, Kate Hudson continues to rock her supershort hair. At the 2018 Golden Globes, the actress styled her classic pixie cut with a thin velvet headband that stood out without distracting from the rest of her stunning look. Styled by David Babaii, her hair appeared effortless with certain pieces given more texture with product.
For her makeup, Kate kept it fun and fresh with a gray smoky eye that complemented her sparkling star earrings quite nicely. Her smoldering eye makeup was offset by bright pink lipstick. Ahead, see pictures of Kate on the red carpet, and take in her gorgeous appearance.
Margot Robbie Wore 3 Chanel Lipsticks to Get Her Bold Makeup Look at the Globes
You know what goes really well with a black dress? Bold lipstick! And Margot Robbie clearly got that memo when she chose her beauty look for the 2018 Golden Globes. POPSUGAR exclusively interviewed Margot's makeup artist, Pati Dubroff. She worked with Chanel on this look, which she described as "sun-kissed chic - beach babe gets dressed up."
"Margot [has] bronzed skin from holidays in Australia, and she was quite tan, so I was excited to play up that sun-kissed vibe. And the incredible beadwork on the dress called for a chic lip," Pati said. "The lip color I chose was inspired by orchids I saw on my holiday in Sri Lanka. I went into this orchid room and was taking pictures for an hour. When I was choosing Margot's lipstick, I kept thinking about the orchids! I used three shades to mimic the gradiation of color in orchid."
Pati first applied Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in Suzanne ($37) as a base. She explained that this gave a little depth to her natural lip shade. Next, she added Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in La Sensuelle ($37), focusing it more on the outer edges and corners. She finished by applying Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in La Romanesque in the center of her lips for added dimension.
"People don't always understand why, when they use one lipstick, they're not getting the same effect as on the red carpet," Patti explained. "They're not getting the same depth or contour. By layering lipstick, you can get dimension and achieve a more vibrant and plump look."
The secret to Margot's postvacation glow was Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Élégance ($45) dusted on her cheeks.
Margot's bumpy beach waves were created by Bryce Scarlett for Moroccanoil. We love how the style was both glossy and undone, in that the waves were pretty relaxed.
