Did On My Block's Finale Turn You Into a Puddle of Emotions, Too?
Warning: Big spoilers for the season one finale of On My Block below! BIG!
Guys. Guys. Are you OK? Because after watching the final few minutes of Netflix's On My Block, I am most definitely not OK. Just when I thought season one was going to tie things up in a bow as perfect as the one on a quinceañera dress - Monse and Cesar showing off their relationship, Ruby finally kissing Olivia, Jamal finding the Roller World money - the episode ends with a bang. And not in a good way.
The unexpected conclusion to the excellent, hilarious, and diverse 10-episode season sees both Ruby and Olivia taking bullets meant for Cesar. The newfound lovebirds are shot by the same rival gang member Cesar was tasked with killing by Oscar in the previous episode (Cesar can't bring himself to take a life, and lets the guy go), and the last we see of them they're both gasping for breath as they bleed out on the ground at Olivia's quinceañera.
See what I mean about not being OK? What did we do to deserve this, Netflix?! The moment is downright gutting, and has new fans of the show desperately trying to sort out our emotions as we wait for news of season two (which has yet to be announced). If you're in need of a group therapy session, might I suggest turning to Twitter? Because you're definitely not the only one sobbing over Ruby and Olivia.

The 8 New Trends You Need to Make Friends With Before Fall 2018
If you're the type to shy away from new trends out of fear they're too eccentric, welcome Fall 2018 with open arms. Throughout Fashion Month, all we saw were familiar patterns, colors, coats, and layering tricks, perhaps just worn in new ways. The eight most prominent style statements are ones virtually anyone could pull off - and they're all ridiculously flattering, too. Brush up on the standout takeaways from the Spring 2018 season, then read our fresh report from start to finish and prepare for an eye-catching wardrobe this year that's actually remarkably comfortable.
10 Major Fashion Moments You Can Expect to See From the Royal Family in 2018
No matter what event they go to, members of the royal family are always impeccably well dressed. We already know the style rules they have to follow and their special dress codes for important occasions. It's public knowledge that the British royals rarely, if ever, make a fashion faux pas. And with a new member joining the family soon (Meghan Markle!), we'll all be blessed with even more memorable fashion moments from the crew. Just think: we still have Meghan's wedding dress to look forward to and Kate's postmaternity style. On top of that, the royal family will conduct many more public appearances in 2018 in some high-profile looks. Ahead, we rounded up the top 10 style moments you should be most excited for.
Fact: Kendall Jenner Just Wore the Shortest Minidress in the World
You can tell Kendall Jenner's ready for Spring. The model stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show for a friendly visit and wore a flirty Magda Butrym minidress for the appearance. The dress featured asymmetrical sleeves, with one side pulled down to reveal Kendall's shoulder. The polka dot print suited the outfit's retro vibes as Kendall accessorized with a simple black headband, Gianvito Rossi heels, and a bright red lip. Outfit aside, the star was there to chat about her April Vogue cover, babies, and her iconic family. Before you tune into the interview though, take a look at Kendall's dress, and shop similar selections ahead.
Bella Hadid's Sexy Glitter Top Is So Sheer, It Puts Everything on Display
Bella Hadid is definitely not shy when it comes to showing off some skin. Need an example? The supermodel hit up celebrity hotspot Gracias Madre in an outfit that left little to the imagination. She wore a black-and-white plaid suit by Dior and left her double-breasted blazer open to reveal a sheer top underneath.
Rather than styling her suit with a silk blouse or a crisp button-down, Bella dared to go braless and opted for a glitter mesh top. She finished off her '90s-inspired look with a pair of black platform shoes and a white chain-link purse. Read on to get a closer look at her shimmery top, and buy similar versions ahead.
Don't Take Your Eyes Off Chrissy Teigen's Swimsuits - Not Even That 1 From 2012
We love when fashion girls aren't afraid to embrace different swimwear styles. Chrissy Teigen is a prime example. The model and expectant mama (Luna is getting a brother!) has tried every one-piece swimsuit and bikini under the sun - and she has the 'grams to prove it. We followed Chrissy's swimsuit journey from 2012 all the way to 2017, and we noticed one thing: she is willing to wear any color, print, or cut. You'll notice Chrissy's one-piece collection prevails over her bikinis by far, but she's certainly not lacking in either category. She owns a trendy Zimmermann two-piece and, lest you forget, she's also a Sports Illustrated model, which means bikinis are part of her DNA. Read on to see all her greatest swimsuit moments.
Gigi Hadid Makes Her Thoughts About Social Media Known With Her iPhone Case
Gigi Hadid has a complicated relationship with social media. Despite the supportive community of followers that it's granted her - she has 38.9 million Instagram followers, FYI - the 22-year-old model has also spoken out about its harmful repercussions. Gigi is now reinforcing her thoughts about social media with, coincidentally, her latest iPhone case.
"Social media seriously harms your mental health," states Gigi's Urban Sophistication Mental Health Warning iPhone Case ($35). She was photographed with the case during the most recent Fashion Month and has had it on her phone ever since.
If you recall, Gigi actually took a month-long social media hiatus in 2016. "I'm going to take a break when I feel like it, and when I come back and share it with you, if you want to be supportive and still follow me, I'm so grateful for that," she told reporters at a Reebok event. "I'm so grateful for social media because it's given me so much more in my career, but I also really respect my career without the social media aspect."
In December 2017, Gigi tweeted that she would be taking a week-long technology break "cause it's good for the soulll." Though it's ultimately a personal choice, a lot can be learned from Gigi's outlook on social media and the healthy distance she keeps from it.
Holy Moly - We're So in Love With Gwyneth Paltrow's Floral Net Booties
Someone needs to give Gwyneth Paltrow a round of applause for her outfit. Gwyneth attended the 2018 Sun Valley Film Festival Vision Award dinner in Sun Valley, Idaho. For the event, the recently engaged actress showed up wearing a black-and-white tweed shirt that featured shoulder pads. (If you haven't seen her stunning engagement ring, you're truly missing out.)
Gwyneth styled the classic shirt with black trousers and the most beautiful floral boots by Roger Vivier. We were impressed by Gwyn's braving the frigid temperatures - and the snow! - to wear these netted boots. Read on to get a closer look at her gorgeous boots and buy the exact style, as well as more affordable options, ahead.
11 Heels You'll Want to Wear This Spring - All Under $50
Feeding a constant shoe obsession means always finding a reason to treat yourself to a new pair. This Spring is the perfect excuse to ditch the boots you've been wearing and show off your feet in some stylish heels. These versatile shoes come in so many styles it's hard to decide on just one pair, so we rounded up a list of our favorites - and they're all under $50, so you can get more than just one (or two!). From trendy kitten heels to comfortable mules and sexy silhouettes, read on to find your perfect match.
I Bought This $15 Bra on Amazon, and I'm Never Wearing Anything Else Again
I have a bust on the smaller side, and I don't need much support. I often find underwire bras are too uncomfortable and thin camis just aren't enough. I saw this Hanes Convertible Wire Free Bra ($15) bubbling up on Amazon recently and became curious. It had over 1,400 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, so I gave it a try.
This bra looks small and thin but it offers me so much support. The smooth straps are adjustable and don't cut into my skin, and the material is so silky-soft, I feel like I'm wearing nothing. Now I'm officially throwing out all my other ones and buying this in every color. The beige one is perfect to pair with all my light-colored tops, but it comes in four other cute colors, including pink. At this price, you can buy them all!
Engagement Ring Finger Piercings Are a New, Questionable Trend, and . . . Ouch?!
Instagram trends have a tendency to veer into head-scratching territory. We've seen all manner of wacky eyebrows and 3D nail adornments, but the latest social media phenomenon is taking it to a whole new level. Allow us to present engagement dermal piercings, the slightly more permanent and significantly more painful way to display your commitment to your beloved.
Yes, over the traditional ring, couples are apparently now choosing dermal piercings with diamonds that appear to float atop the finger. Now, we're all for unconventional when it comes to weddings, but piercing your ring finger with a piece of metal rather than opting for a band to hold your diamond in place? Well, that's one engagement trend even we never saw coming - and we have to admit, we've got some reservations.
Your hands are arguably the most utilized part of your body, and the idea of snagging this stud on a sweater or a coat pocket just makes us cringe - hard. Injury and infection risks aside, ditching an engagement ring for a dermal piercing also, presumably, limits the size of the stone you can choose. Now that's where we draw the line. (Wink, wink.)
If you're curious about the trend, check out some of the ways early adopters are doing it, then decide for yourself if you'd take the plunge with a piercing. To each her own, but we think we're just gonna stick to putting a ring on it.
11 Chic Travel Pants So You Never Sweat in Your Skinny Jeans on the Plane Again
Every time I pack for a trip, I always end up taking a pair of skinny jeans that I never wear, and I've decided to give up the habit this season. During those hot Summer months, tight pants are the last thing that sound comfortable. Instead of suffering on a long plane ride or walking around a scorching city in unbearably rigid jeans, I'm going to try wearing cropped wide-leg trousers or linen pants. These pant styles can be both professional or paired with sandals and taken to the beach. If you're interested, check out these comfortable options to keep you cool.
These 13 Handbags Are So Chic, You Won't Believe They're Vegan
My fashion-forward, once-leather-loving best friend just became a vegan. It was a lifestyle and diet choice, and she's loving it, but she keeps asking me, "What faux-leather bag or jacket can I wear?" This got me thinking about vegan-friendly pieces that everyone can enjoy. With so many cruelty-free brands, no one should ever have to sacrifice their style.
So how can you spot a vegan leather handbag? Look at the bag. It can be made from several different kinds of materials, such as cork, barkcloth, glazed cotton, waxed cotton, paper, and, most commonly used, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane. These all have different looks, glosses, and textures, but they give off the appearance of leather. Feel good about your fashion choices and try one of these stylish picks.
Could Luke and June Reunite on The Handmaid's Tale? We Just Got a MAJOR Hint
Throughout the first season of The Handmaid's Tale, one pressing question underscores all the action: will June aka Offred (Elizabeth Moss) ever make it to safety? Will she ever escape the backwards, twisted world of Gilead? There are lot of near misses as the episodes roll on: she almost makes it to Canada with her husband, Luke (O-T Fagbenle), in the beginning. Then, she almost pulls off an escape with Moira (Samira Wiley). Even the end of the season offers a bit of ambiguity. But as we head into a much darker second season, June's escape is looking less and less likely. But now, we may have a glimmer of hope.
This year, The Handmaid's Tale planned a panel for Paleyfest in LA, and I spoke with O-T Fagbenle on the red carpet. Fagbenle was able to offer a bit of insight into season two. As a refresher, the first season ends just as Moira arrives in Canada safely. "Luke and Moira are left in a kind of tricky situation of dealing with this post traumatic stress of what they've been through, yet trying to recreate some sense of home and stability outside," he said. "They have a contentious relationship, but they make it work because they have to."
When it comes to June and Luke, though, the waters are a bit more murky. Each knows the other is alive. Obviously, the best case scenario is for June to somehow make it to Canada. But even if she did, there would be a lot to unpack. If Moira is traumatized by her life on the hedonistic fringes of Gilead, how will June be? There's also another question: how will Luke react when he finds out she's pregnant with Nick's baby?
"It's heartbreaking. But the bigger heartbreak is what his wife had to go through."
What's interesting is that Fagbenle insinuated that we would get an answer to that question this season. Somehow, Luke will find out about June's pregnancy. Since Moira doesn't know about it at the time of her escape, Luke will have to find out another way. In this realm, there are a few possibilities. Sure, June could write him a note, but there's also a chance the two could somehow meet face to face. It's highly doubtful that June would make it to Canada anytime soon; but it's possible Luke could go into the bowels of Gilead to rescue his wife. And if they do reunite, what happens next? "You can't be, 'Oh, well, that's the way things go around here.' It's heartbreaking," Fagbenle said. "But the bigger heartbreak is what his wife had to go through. The bigger heartbreak is that someone you love has been raped. Unfortunately, we live in a world where lots of people come to that realization."
And what about Luke and Moira? How will they begin to comprehend this horrible new world together? "There's loads of [tension]," Fagbenle said. But Luke doesn't necessarily blame Moira. "There's enough guilt within Luke for his own failings. You know, before Gilead set out, was he politically involved enough? During that time, did they leave early enough? . . . I think he's kind of crushed by that enough that he's not going throwing shade around to other people. But at the same time, it is kind of tough for him to really cross over and connect."
And as for Moira? "She's had her own experience, which is tough for her to explain to Luke," Fagbenle said. "So it's kind of like this mix between connection and just trying to find ways to connect." Strap in, everyone. The Handmaid's Tale returns April 25.
Ryan Phillippe Is Too Sexy For His Shirt on the Beach, and Suddenly We Need 50 Cups of Water
Ryan Phillippe made our hearts skip a beat when he was spotted soaking up the sun at the beach in Cabo, Mexico, recently. The 43-year-old actor flexed his chiseled physique while walking along the shore and also debuted a new winged-figure tattoo on his chest. If that weren't enough to make you dehydrated, Ryan splashed water on himself at one point, leaving his body glistening under the hot sun. Swoon. Keep reading to see more from his shirtless day at the beach, then go get a cup of water - or 50 - because you'll likely need it after seeing these photos.
The Sorry to Bother You Trailer Is One Wildly Surreal Ride
Even if you don't watch the Sorry to Bother You trailer, its cast alone should make you want to see it: Tessa Thompson, Lakeith Stanfield, Armie Hammer, Steven Yeun, Patton Oswalt, Terry Crews, and more. If you do decide to watch the trailer, buckle up, because it's one wildly surreal ride.
The comedy from director Boots Riley sees Stanfield as telemarketer Cassius Green who discovers that by making his voice "sound white," his calls are almost always successful. The magical trick puts him on a track for the big time at his company, leading him to cross paths with some truly bonkers characters (Hammer's Steve Lift being one of them).
Sorry to Bother You comes out July 6.
Everything You Need to Know About The Walking Dead's Mysterious New Character, Georgie
Spoilers below for the latest episode of The Walking Dead!
Just as fan-favorite characters leave The Walking Dead, new ones arrive to take their place. There's no telling whether or not the latest addition to the show, the enigmatic Georgie, will become a beloved fixture on the zombie drama or not, but one thing's for sure: she's interesting enough, and weird enough, to hold our attention.
The new character, played by Jayne Atkinson, ends up being the reason for the name of Sunday night's episode: "The Key." Maggie spots some empty crates left outside of Hilltop by an anonymous person, with only a note reading, "If you fill the crates with food or phonograph records, I will gladly exchange them for a key to your future." The key to the future, huh? It's cryptic and potentially dangerous, sure, but Maggie and Michonne eventually agree that it's worth checking out.
Maggie ends up coming face to face with the stranger (and her bodyguards, Hilda and Midge), who has short white-blonde hair, wears glasses, and is wearing a remarkably spiffy blazer for it being the middle of the zombie apocalypse and all. She introduces herself as Georgie, and for anyone who's read the comics, it seems like she, Hilda, and Midge could be members of the Commonwealth community from the New World Order storyline.
Not much is known about the group of survivors since it's so new to the comics, but it boasts advanced equipment and the leader, Pamela Milton, looks physically similar to Georgie (the blonde hair, the blazer). The introduction of this group could also be the answer to who was flying that helicopter Rick saw earlier on in season eight.
While we can't know if they're a part of the Commonwealth for sure, we do know that Georgie will be making at least one more appearance on the show. Maggie initially attempts to steal their food, but comes around by the end of "The Key" and gifts Georgie with some of Hilltop's record collection. Good thing she does, too, since Georgie then shares not only their food, but also an instruction manual that has handwritten notes on how to build silos, water mills, windmills, and other important structures (she transcribed the schematics from memory).
"Build this place up," the new stranger tells Maggie. "I want those crates filled when I get back."
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Went All Out For St. Patrick's Day, and We Can't Look Away
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were feeling super festive for St. Patrick's Day this year. The on-and-off-again couple shared photos of themselves on Instagram wearing their lucky green to celebrate the Irish holiday, and suddenly we wish we could double date with them. In one photo, Liam paid tribute to his late grandmother in a lime green soccer-themed outfit, writing, "Happy St. Patrick's day Ireland! Thanks for letting all of us celebrate it with u!! My grandma was Irish and I couldn't be prouder. Light it up!"
Miley took a somewhat quirkier approach than her fiancé, sporting a Care Bears' Good Luck Bear onesie, a tall green and silver hat, and a gold coin chain with metallic green sandals. The "Malibu" singer uploaded videos of herself dancing around a room decorated with green balloons. In another post, Miley shared a snap of herself licking a pile of gold foiled coins. Yeah, things got pretty wild. Keep reading to see more photos of how Miley and Liam celebrated the lucky holiday.
The Freakin' Adorable Thing You Never Noticed About Laura Dern's Star Wars Character
The last word I'd use to describe Laura Dern's character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Admiral Holdo, would be "adorable." Courageous? Formidable? Chic, even? Those are all adjectives that I would choose first. As a close confidant to General Leia Organa and the eventual (temporary) leader of the Resistance, Holdo immediately emerged as a badass figure in the second installment of the new trilogy, inspiring women everywhere. Well, it turns out that she's also pretty damn adorable, as evidenced by a clip from the film that's been making the rounds on the internet.
In it, Holdo dramatically emerges from a cloud of white mist and fires her blaster. But when you take a closer look, she says something while she does it. "You can see Laura Dern say 'pew' when she fires the gun, which she could never not do every time she shot it," director Rian Johnson revealed in the commentary on the upcoming digital and Blu-ray release.
This isn't the first time Dern's hilarious "pew pew" noises have been discussed, however. She actually discussed her inability to keep from saying it in every take while sitting down with Stephen Colbert last August, calling it the "most embarrassing" thing she did on set.
"I didn't know I did it, and I guess they were watching dailies and recognized it deeply," she laughed. "There is a moment where I get to have a space weapon in my hand, and I guess I didn't realize I wasn't back in my bedroom at 8 years old doing the scene. I went 'pew, pew!'"
All hail Laura Dern, am I right?
Tom Brady Opens Up About His Mother's Breast Cancer Battle: "She's Been So Positive"
Tom Brady wants fans to know that his mom, Galynn, is doing "really well" following her breast cancer diagnosis two years ago. The New England Patriots quarterback opened up to People magazine about how the news affected his family. "I think any family that has dealt with cancer realizes the challenge it is not only at that moment, but as it continues to be," Tom shared.
Although Galynn was unable to attend many of his games during the 2016 NFL season, she was on hand to witness her son defeat the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 Super Bowl. "I think she's got so much appreciation for the people who have supported her," Tom continued. "She's such a wonderful woman and she's been so positive through it all and we've been so proud of her."
Earlier this year, Tom uploaded a sweet photo of Galynn and his adorable family posing a together on the field ahead of the 2018 Super Bowl where the Patriots took on the Philadelphia Eagles, eventually losing the championship.
Beyoncé Fights Back Tears Receiving a Huge Honor at the 2018 Wearable Art Gala
The second annual Wearable Art Gala was a family affair for the Knowles-Carters. Beyoncé, JAY-Z, and Blue Ivy were in attendance at the WACO Theater in LA on Saturday night where the Lemonade singer was honored for her humanitarian work. The swanky gala, organized by Bey's mom, Tina Knowles, and her husband Richard Lawson, was also attended by JAY-Z's mother, Gloria Carter, who was given the Everyday People Award. Gloria also received a touching tribute from the rapper himself. "She raised four kids, and she did the best job with me," he joked.
Beyoncé received the 2018 WACO Theater Humanitarian Award and became visibly emotional while delivering her acceptance speech. Before taking to the podium, the mom of three was greeted by Hannah Brammer, a 17-year-old fan born with brittle bones who has met the singer at concerts before. Bey also got a special shout-out from BFF and former first lady Michelle Obama via a prerecorded message, which was played on screen.
The dress code of the evening was "from WACO to Wakanda," inspired by the gorgeous setting in Black Panther, and the event featured an auction of artwork to raise money for a nonprofit art and performance complex. At one point, Blue, who wore a gold wig, completely upstaged her famous parents, bidding $17,000 on an acrylic painting of a young Sidney Poitier. JAY-Z attempted to stop her by taking away her paddle, but it didn't work. Blue bid even higher at $19,000.
Unfortunately, she lost out on the piece to director Tyler Perry for a cool $20,000, Vanity Fair reports. That doesn't mean the adorable 6-year-old left empty-handed, though. Blue bid $10,000 on another piece made of deconstructed law and medical books and took home the prize like the true boss that she is. The moment was too cute to miss and has since gone viral online. Keep reading to see more pictures and videos from the Knowles-Carters' heartwarming night out.
Prince Charles Reportedly Slighted Kate Middleton's Family, and We Don't Want to Believe It
If the rumors are true, there was some royal drama between Prince Charles and Kate Middleton, and we're just now getting the details. In his unauthorized biography, Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion and Defiance of Prince Charles, author Tom Bower claims the Prince of Wales felt threatened by Prince William and Kate Middleton's rising popularity.
The British reporter also writes that Charles felt "isolated" from his two grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who often spent the holidays with Kate's parents instead of with the other royals. Charles allegedly took issue with the fact that Kate and William chose to live miles away from his home where he felt they could "preserve their privacy."
The salacious book claims that Charles's jealousy got so out of hand that he even slighted Kate's mother, Carole, who was ignored by several of the Queen's courtiers during social gatherings because of his angst toward them. William reportedly sought advice from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to resolve the growing tension. In order to bring peace, the Queen invited Carole for a drive around the Balmoral estate, People reports.
Bower alleges that Charles's relationship with both William and Prince Harry has been strained for years, stemming from his divorce from their late mother, Princess Diana. Charles reportedly believed "Diana had poisoned the boys' minds" against him after he married his mistress, Camilla. Although it now appears Harry and William have since welcomed Camilla into the royal family, according to Bower, things aren't mended between the three men.
Granted, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt given that none of it is confirmed. There's also the fact that Kate and her father-in-law have been spotted out on numerous occasions over the years, appearing to have an amicable relationship. No word yet from the royals on the latest rumors, but let us hope the rumors are just that. Am I right?
The Avengers Face Their Deadliest Mission Yet in the Epic New Infinity War Trailer

The Cast of Love, Simon Dishes on the Scenes That Will Make You Cry
It's here, it's here! Love, Simon has arrived to give us the sweet high school coming-out story that Hollywood has sorely needed for quite some time. The film follows the story of Simon Spier, a high-schooler who's harboring one big secret: he's gay. When another student finds out and threatens to blackmail him, Simon must do everything in his power to keep private life a secret. Don't worry - there are plenty of places to laugh and cry along the way.
Ahead of the release, I sat down with the film's four stars: Nick Robinson, Katherine Langford, Alexandra Shipp, and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. The fearsome foursome dished on Love, Simon's inevitable impact, what's so special about Simon Spier, and of course, the scenes that got them all choked up.
POPSUGAR: Nick, why did you want to take on the role of Simon? What drew you to this character?
Nick Robinson: I think Simon is kind of a fascinating guy in a lot of different ways. He's someone who has has had to live with this secret his whole life. He doesn't want anyone to know that he's gay, so he's built his whole life protecting that idea. And I think it's kind of an interesting character arc, to see what happens when someone's perfectly manicured life gets turned on its head. He all of the sudden has to very quickly readapt in the new circumstances . . . He's been so self-conscious for his whole life, he's been very aware, and he's been suppressing his personality. And so how that manifests itself is interesting. And talking with [director Greg Berlanti] and hearing his vision of the project, and the potential, [that] was also a major reason to sign on.
PS: Alexandra, did you have any sort of "aha" moment during this project, when you really felt how important this film could be?
Alexandra Shipp: There was a moment in the script, for me, when we're all sitting at lunch. One person says, "Oh hey, did you hear there's a closeted gay kid at the school?" and my character just looks up and goes, "Who cares?" And for me, I was like BOOM. Yes. That is what we need to be doing. That is how we need to be approaching this. Who cares? Who cares? It doesn't matter. Are they a good person? Do they lie? Do they cheat? Do they steal? Who they sleep with or who they're attracted to doesn't define them. What defines them is who they are as a human being.
In a movie like this, when you're changing the vernacular, you're changing the conversation, and you're really making it more so about who they are, that's when you really start to change lives and change perspectives.
PS: Obviously, this is such an incredible and groundbreaking film. Katherine, what does it mean to be a part of something like this?
Katherine Langford: I'm super proud to be involved in a film like this. Overall, I think the LGBT community is very underrepresented in the media. There have been some great progressions in terms of showing those relationships on TV, but not so much in film. We've had a few great films, like Carol and Call My by Your Name, but this really is the first major studio that is telling a coming-of-age love story about a gay teenage protagonist. And I think, although it's not representative of all LGBTQ people or their stories or experiences, I think it's a good starting point, and hopefully will promote discussion.
PS: And Jorge, what exactly do you think sets this film apart from the ones that came before it?
Jorge Lendeborg Jr.: The central thing about gay movies so far has been the gay aspect. In this film, I feel like it doesn't take a backseat - it's definitely in the film and it's apparent that it's a great factor in the film - but it shows that, like Alex said, it doesn't define you. Love is love. And you find love. As a high school kid, it's a tough thing to try to maneuver with. So, I feel like this is really a good representation of what high school love is like. And I feel like there's a lot of people who might really enjoy this.
PS: All right, and finally, we need to talk about the crying. What part made you the most emotional?
NR: I think the scene between Simon and his mother is really just a beautiful thing. Just the wording of it is really poignant. And it doesn't really matter who you are or what your sexuality is. Just to hear those words is really impactful.
KL: I think that might have been [for] me too.
AS: Mine was definitely when the dad realized how homophobic he had actually been with his words over the last couple of years. And how mortified he was, because I've seen that on people's faces before, and being like, "Oh. But, oh, you're gay? Oh my God, I'm so, so sorry!" You know? But that was so real, because that's his baby, and he was offending his baby. No one wants to do that. I don't know, I just get so emotional like, "I know, Dad. Right? Don't say stuff like that!"
JLJ: Without giving too much away, there were two gay characters that talked about what it felt like in their experience as a person who's finally out in school. Just to see that insight between two people [for] me, as a straight man, to see how tough that is.
Love, Simon hits theaters Match 16.
Netflix Hasn't Renewed On My Block For Season 2 Just Yet, but Here's Why They Should
It only took us one episode to fall head over heels for On My Block, Netflix's latest teen comedy. The 10-episode season follows five 14-year-old kids growing up in a rough neighborhood of South Central LA as they start freshman year of high school and also have to deal with everything from gang violence and first love to finding buried treasure (yes, buried treasure in LA - just go with it). More important, the show cocreated by Awkward's Lauren Iungerich is a major step forward for diversity in a genre of TV shows that typically feature predominantly white teens in wealthier areas.
Starring Jason Genao, Sierra Capri, Diego Tinoco, Brett Gray, and Ronni Hawk (all actors of color) and featuring an amazing soundtrack, we should note, season one is an easy, enjoyable, and necessary Netflix binge. So what we need to know ASAP is if it's getting renewed by the streaming giant for season two, especially because of that shocking cliffhanger.
As it stands, Netflix has yet to officially speak out about whether or not it has plans to renew the series, but don't freak out just yet. In the past, the company has waited until months afterward to let anything slip. There's definitely still hope! What we do know is that On My Block is one of the most solid, diverse, and entertaining series aimed at teens released by Netflix in quite some time - we have to believe they'd want to continue telling Monse, Jamal, Cesar, Olivia, and Ruby's story.
Jack Antonoff and Carlotta Kohl Look Very Cozy at the Knicks Game, but What Does This Mean?
Is Jack Antonoff officially off the market again? That's the question that arose when the record producer was spotted sitting courtside with model Carlotta Kohl at the Knicks game in NYC on Saturday night. While the home team ended up defeating the Charlotte Hornets 124 to 101, all eyes were truly on Jack and Carlotta as she laid her head on his shoulder and sat close by. According to Us Weekly, the two have been dating since January, but it hasn't been confirmed by either party. Recently, Jack was rumored to be dating his musical pal, Lorde, after splitting from Lena Dunham earlier this year. As it turns out, Jack and Lorde are just friends. Read on to see more photos of Jack and Carlotta's cozy night out.
Let's Talk About the Final Shocking Minutes of On My Block
Warning: BIG spoilers for the season one finale of On My Block below!
On My Block is the latest coming-of-age comedy to hit Netflix, but don't misunderstand - this is not yet another attempt to re-create the magic of shows like Freaks and Geeks or Dawson's Creek. The young cast - Jason Genao, Sierra Capri, Diego Tinoco, Brett Gray, and Ronni Hawk - is incredibly talented, and also incredibly diverse. On My Block, cocreated by Awkward's Lauren Iungerich, follows lifelong friends Monse (Capri), Ruby (Genao), Cesar (Tinoco), and Jamal (Gray) as they navigate the ups and downs of both freshman year of high school and life in general in a rough neighborhood of South Central LA.
As the flawless soundtrack pulses in the background, the crew is forced to grapple with some seriously harsh realities when Cesar is basically forced to join his older brother Oscar's gang. Conversations about studying for math tests and attending homecoming are cut with arresting scenes like confronting racist rich kids in nearby Brentwood, escaping a block-wide lockdown, and debating whether or not to murder a rival gang member. If that's not what you imagine the typical 14-year-old having to go through in high school, that's just another reason why shows like On My Block are so vital.
That brings us to the final, absolutely shocking minutes of season one. There are moments of darkness interspersed with all the comedy in the 10-episode season, but nothing comes close to how it ends: Ruby (Genao) and Olivia (Hawk) both bleeding out from gunshot wounds to the chest on the dance floor of the latter's quinceañera. The newfound lovebirds are shot by the same rival gang member Cesar was tasked with killing by Oscar in the previous episode (Cesar can't bring himself to take a life, and lets the guy go). We can only imagine the guilt he's already feeling.
Although we later see two ambulances racing through the neighborhood, things definitely aren't looking good for Olivia and Ruby - will they survive their injuries? And more importantly, will Netflix renew the series for season two so we can find out? Of the two gunshots, Olivia's definitely looks more serious, even though Ruby is the one wordlessly gasping for breath.
A second season of On My Block hasn't been announced by Netflix just yet, but it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be. It's obvious that the show is an inclusive look at what a lot of teenagers are going through right this minute, even if it's not the norm depicted on TV. These are the kinds of stories that are necessary to bring into the conversation. And at the very least, we really need an answer to that cliffhanger, don't we?
If you're still reeling from what happens to Ruby and Olivia, you're not alone - fans of the show are currently sobbing their way through it on Twitter. Scroll through the best reactions to the emotional finale as we all wait for season two together.

No, You Didn't Imagine It - Your Angsty Fave, Credence, Is Back For Fantastic Beasts 2
Based on the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it's not unreasonable to believe that self-loathing, untrained wizard Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) is no more. After all, he is the oldest wizard in documented history to form an Obscurus, which - according to Newt Scamander and his studies throughout the wider Wizarding world - is a creature known to kill its host child. So when Credence appeared in the new trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, many Harry Potter fans were shocked to see his angsty face again, let alone witness the control he appears to have over his Obscurial abilities.
While he only appears in the trailer for a few seconds, we've already learned a lot about Credence's role in this next installment of Fantastic Beasts: he's alive and in Europe, hanging with some new company, has more control of his Obscurus, has a wand of his own, and is very angry. We're sure to learn even more about his role in The Crimes of Grindelwald as the November release date approaches, but in the meantime, enjoy these reactions from surprised fans!

If you're a fan of Syfy, then you're probably familiar with Melanie Liburd. The British actress starred as Nyx Harper on Dark Matter during its second and third seasons. Of course, that's not the only series she's been in. Aside from playing Alexis on Netflix's short-lived show Gypsy, she has also had a handful of guest appearances on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and The Grinder. If you were paying close attention, you might also have spotted her on Game of Thrones in 2016, where she's credited as playing "a Street Red Priestess" in Meereen.
Is Selena Gomez Trying to Send Justin Bieber a Message With Her Denim Jacket? You Decide
There's nothing more classic than a denim jacket. Selena Gomez gave the denim-on-denim look a try while out and about in Los Angeles. The singer, who is currently taking a break from boyfriend Justin Bieber, was spotted wearing a Canadian tuxedo. (In case you didn't know, Justin is originally from Canada.)
Ironically enough, Selena's Levi's denim jacket is actually called the "Ex-Boyfriend Jacket." While we're not sure if she was trying to send a message or if it was a mere coincidence, we were definitely intrigued. She styled her oversize jacket with distressed skinny jeans, a white tee, white sneakers, and a Louis Vuitton bag. Read on to see Selena's cool jacket and buy the exact style, as well as similar versions, ahead.
15 Awesome Things to Do in Tokyo
There is no city in the world like Tokyo. The lights, smells, colors, and sounds of the capital of Japan are anything but subdued. And with a population of over 9 million inhabitants and 20 million visitors a year, of course there are many intriguing things to do and experience here. It's a city you'll never get bored in, but also a place that has so many options, you might get overwhelmed with what to see and do first. It's great for foodies, adventure seekers, treasure hunters, and those who want a sensory overload. For a nice mixture of kawaii and traditional, here are 15 things you must do while visiting Tokyo.
These Abandoned Disney Park Photos Look Like Scenes From a Postapocalyptic World
When we think of Disney World, "creepy" doesn't usually come to mind. But photos of Walt Disney World's first water park, called Disney's River Country, are making us rethink just how sugary sweet all things Disney-related really are. The park, now abandoned, opened in 1976 and closed up shop 25 years later. Just last year, a pool within the park was filled with concrete.
Photojournalist Seph Lawless, who explores eerie abandoned locations all over the country, captured images inside the Orlando park, from vine-covered bridges to overgrown trees and mud-laden former water slides. Admidst the ruins, you can still imagine the former glory of the park, but that glory has long since been lost.
Lawless included the Disney park's images in his book, Abandoned: Hauntingly Beautiful Deserted Theme Parks. Take a look at the apocalypse-like scene at Disney World's first water park ahead, and follow Seph's work on his Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
9 Ways You Can Go on a Cruise While Barely Spending a Dime on Board
Cruises are a great travel option for several reasons: they're mostly all-inclusive, you're able to hit multiple ports on a single trip, and they give you more bang for your buck overall. On top of many being fairly affordable to begin with, there are more ways you can save money once you're on board. And if you stick to what's included in your boarding pass, it's possible to avoid spending all together once you're sailing. Here are nine ways you can cruise on a tight budget.
- Bring your own wine and soda. Most cruises allow guests to bring up to one bottle of wine or champagne on board. I suggest enjoying it in your cabin rather than bringing it to the dining room to avoid corkage fees. You also have the option of bringing up to 12 sealed cans of soda in your carry-on to drink throughout your sail, since soft drinks are often an additional cost.
- Fill up on all the pizza and ice cream. Take full advantage of the 24-hour soft serve machines and complimentary pizza served on your ship. Your midnight snack and daily dessert are already covered right there.
- Unplug. Unless you're planning to get some work done, consider disconnecting for the duration of your sail. Not only is WiFi pricey, but it's also not as fast as you're used to while you're out in the middle of the ocean.
- Know what your ship offers for free. Your boarding pass usually includes free meals at the buffet, meals in the dining room, certain room service items, and free slices at the pizzeria and complimentary soft serve ice cream on some ships. However, all it takes is a little extra digging to see what else is available for no additional cost.
- Keep alcohol to a minimum. Alcohol is not included in your stay and this is where many guests end up splurging the most. All those cocktails can really add up by the end of the week, so consider signing up for an unlimited drinks package if a sober sail is out of the question. I recommend pre-purchasing your package before your sail date since it's typically cheaper than when you buy on board. And that way, you can start getting your money's worth ASAP.
- Pack buffet food on port days. Before disembarking at your destination, fill up on breakfast at the buffet and bring some bites for the road. Bananas, muffins, and mini boxes of cereal are great to snack on while exploring.
- Explore on your own instead of booking an excursion. Excursions can cost you around $50 to $150 per person. Not only does a DIY adventure save you major cash, but you'll also be able to avoid having to stick with a large group. Do some port research beforehand and pick your own activities.
- Save unfinished wine for the next night. If you order a bottle of wine at dinner and don't end up drinking it all, ask your waiter to cork it for when you return. They'll write your name on it and have it ready for you the next evening.
- Control yourself at the casino. One of my personal favorite cruise features is the casino (depending on the cruise), but that's also where most of my cash ends up. If you can, avoid it all together or set a strict spending limit at the very least.
49 International Disney Park Differences Only Hardcore Fans Will Notice
If you're a Disney fan, you've undoubtedly made the pilgrimage to Disneyland or Walt Disney World at some point in your life. Upon opening Disneyland (the original Disney park in Anaheim, CA) in 1955, the wildly successful mass-media corporation became a staple in more than just family movies - its theme park topped the bucket lists of travelers worldwide. Disney mania couldn't be contained when parks eventually opened in Florida, Japan, France, and Hong Kong. Today, there is construction on a sixth park: Shanghai Disney. While every Disney park maintains a similar atmosphere, the magic feeling at each location is totally unique. Take a look at the features that make each Disney resort special, and then decide for yourself which is truly the "happiest place on earth."
