The 20 Saddest Meals We've Ever Made Ourselves
It's impossible to be a first-class chef all the time, or most of the time, or even ever. Time can be scarce, and POPSUGAR editors are just as guilty of emptying a jar of peanut butter one spoonful at a time instead of eating a balanced dinner. If fact, we've eaten some pretty sad meals when left to our own devices. I put out an open call for the most depressing meals our editors have "prepared" for themselves, and the results are so shocking that I've removed all of their names from this list. Here is the definitive ranking of the 20 saddest responses I got - from slightly embarrassing to just downright heartbreaking.

This Couple Got Their Happily Ever After With a Fairy-Tale-Themed Wedding
ReAnne and Tyler first met during their orientation at Disney World, so it is only fitting that they chose to have a magical, fairy-tale-themed wedding. The pair tied the knot in Mount Pleasant, SC, and a photographer from Riverland Studios was there to capture this scenic wedding.
"ReAnne envisioned pixie dust strewn across her perfect wedding day, and from the dress to the dance, the day played out of a storybook," said the photographer.
ReAnne looked like she was straight out of a fairy tale in a ballgown-style wedding dress with lace detailing, and Tyler looked handsome in a suit with a Tinkerbell-inspired green patterned bow tie as they exchanged rings. Inside their venue, the rustic wood was lined with a string of cafe lights to enhance the enchanting ambiance of the room. ReAnne also carried a bouquet made out of green shrubs to match the green placemats and centerpieces in the room. All the greenery in the wedding gave the illusion of a forest setting, which is the perfect place for a great fairy tale like ReAnne and Tyler's wedding.

Urban Outfitters Sells Emoji-Shaped Vibrators, and of COURSE There's an Eggplant One
ICYMI, Urban Outfitters is a freakin' treasure trove of admittedly random yet oh-so-unique gifts and knick-knacks. Case in point: we just discovered that the popular retailer is selling emoji-inspired vibrators - and yep, they're just as discreet and playful as you'd imagine. The colorful sex toys hail from a company aptly known as Emojibator, which empowers females to close the "climax gap," seeing as women reportedly have a whopping 30 percent fewer orgasms than men do. Now that's a mission we can totally get behind!
There are five different Emojibator devices available on UrbanOutfitters.com, including a chili pepper-shaped toy that'll make you sweat just as much as a real one, and an eggplant-shaped vibrator because, well, obviously. Not so surprisingly, a few of the options are on back order, seeing as they've been a hit among customers. Shop them all below if you need a cheeky Valentine's Day gift for one of your gal pals (or yourself!).
Ellen Page Calls Out Vice President Mike Pence's Anti-Gay Rhetoric in a Powerful Interview
Ellen Page initially sat down on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss her upcoming Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy, but the conversation quickly veered into more serious topics. Clearly emotional and "fired up," as she herself admitted, Page ripped Vice President Mike Pence's hateful leadership and harmful views of the LGBTQ+ community a new one.
"It feels impossible to not feel [fired up] right now, with the president and the vice president, Mike Pence, who wishes I couldn't be married," she incredulously told Colbert, as the host pulled out a photo of Page with her wife, Emma Portner. "Let's just be clear: the vice president of America wishes I didn't have the love with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in conversion therapy. He has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the governor of Indiana."
The actress, who came out publicly in 2014, then mentioned the recent, horrific beating of Empire actor Jussie Smollett in Chicago, a hate crime, and how it's a direct result of the president and vice president's homophobic, anti-gay rhetoric:
"Connect the dots. This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people, and you want to cause suffering for them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering, what do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused, and they're going to kill themselves. And people are going to be beaten in the street. I have traveled the world and I have met the most marginalized people you can meet. I am lucky to have this time and this privilege to say this: this needs to f*cking stop."

Get to Know the Photographers Behind All Those Fashion Week Street Style Snaps

If I could write a love letter to the slip-on shoes in my closet, I would. They're uncomplicated, easy, and come in plenty of cute styles, so I run errands and attend meetings in the same pair. Imagine my delight when I heard my beloved Target is selling slip-on sneakers of its own for only $35 - as if I needed another reason to shop there.

The 8 New Pieces at the Top of Our EIC's "Must Shop" List For February
At the top of our February wish lists (right along with the gourmet chocolates), our editors are eyeing the arrival of our new POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's drop - and nobody knows it better than our editor in chief. Lisa Sugar worked hand in hand with the Kohl's team to dream up a collection we can live in, seamlessly taking us from day to night, office to date night - and beyond. The proof is in these pieces: a white moto jacket to perk up your outerwear routine, a staple pair of pants (that aren't jeans!), and a few sweet sweaters (because, let's be honest, we could all use a refresh at this point). It's the stuff you'll find Lisa - and the rest of our team - wearing on the regular. Inside, we're breaking it all down with a preview of Lisa's favorite new things. Get the sneak peek here, and shop it all when it hits stores and goes online Feb. 4. Oh, and did we mention it's all under $100? Happy shopping!
I Love This $37 Comfy Dress So Much, I Wish It Was Acceptable to Wear It Every Single Day
Everyone has a clothing item they'll buy over and over again - mine is dresses. I won't even tell you how many I own. I love a one-and-done outfit that makes me feel polished, and a dress is exactly that. It can be hard to hunt down options that are comfortable enough to wear all day long without adjusting, but I finally discovered my new favorite.
When we got a preview of the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection February drop, I immediately gravitated toward this Print Tie-Waist Dress ($37, originally $50). I'm a sucker for polka dots, and the neutral colorway leaves plenty of room for playful styling.
The best part? This soft dress is ridiculously comfortable. I would choose this design over a pair of jeans any day. It does run a little big, so I suggest sizing down in this particular piece. I'm wearing a size small, but I typically go for a medium or large. If polka dots aren't your thing, this dress comes in several patterns including cherries and florals.
Read on to see more angles of the dress, then treat yourself to one. It's currently on sale, so you'll be scoring a deal.

We're letting you in on our secret personal shopping lists for February and inviting you to stock up for Spring with us. Trust, you'll be wearing these clothes long after the snow is gone.
My Favorite Work Blazer Is Only $50 at H&M, and I Wear It at at Least Once a Week
When I want something, I don't stop until I find it. I am a shopping editor, after all. I've been looking for the perfect black blazer that's office-appropriate for months now with little luck. I was hoping to find something professional yet stylish; I don't want to look too stuffy. After a search that seemed never-ending, I came across my winning choice: this H&M Double-Breasted Blazer Jacket ($50). I was willing to spend a pretty penny on the ideal design, so the fact that this pick is so affordable was the cherry on top of this purchase.
I can wear it a couple times a week to work without feeling like an outfit repeater.
This blazer has an oversize fit, but it doesn't look baggy or sloppy. The gold buttons give it a luxe finish that fooled my friends into thinking it's designer. I also appreciate that it has deep pockets that perfectly fit my iPhone. You get the idea - this blazer is perfect. I have already styled it so many ways with dresses, jeans, skirts, and more. I can wear it a couple times a week to work without feeling like an outfit repeater.
I love the black option, but this blazer also comes in navy blue, dark green, and light blue. The quality is great, so you'll be happy with the purchase, trust me. Get one for yourself while you can, as great H&M essentials tend to sell out fast.
Meghan Markle Swaps Her Stiletto Pumps For Heeled Boots as She Steps Out in the Snow
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Bristol, England, to meet members of the public and learn more about the charitable work taking place there. Arriving in the morning for a walkabout, the couple braved snowy conditions to greet the people who'd waited out in the cold for their royal moment, including some adorable preschool kids.
The Duchess of Sussex, who has had a busy week of royal engagements that saw her step out in a chic Givenchy coat and a fresh-from-the-runway pink ensemble, finally caved to the cold weather for this latest outing, swapping the bare legs and pumps she favored earlier in the week for thick tights and boots. She teamed them with an outfit by William Vintage and Oscar de la Renta, a designer both she and her sister-in-law have turned to for royal engagements recently.
Meghan's look consisted of a black William Vintage coat over a printed chiffon dress, teamed with suede accessories: knee-high boots and a Ralph Lauren clutch bag in khaki, with a pair of beige gloves. Her boots were by Sarah Flint, a designer Meghan has worn numerous times before, and you can still snap up a pair for yourself. Keep reading for a closer look and to shop key pieces from Meghan's snowy outfit.
Watch the Fun Toy Story 4 Teaser That Aired at the End of the Super Bowl
Woody and the rest of the gang are BACK!
The buzz surrounding Toy Story 4 has been building for quite some time now. As far back as March 2015, Pixar president Jim Morris described the new addition to the beloved franchise as a "love story" that will focus on the relationship between Bo Peep and Woody, but plenty of time has passed since then, and it seems the story has changed quite a bit.
In the first teaser trailer for the latest installment in the beloved animated franchise, Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toys welcome a new addition to Bonnie's room: Forky, a spork-turned-craft-project who doesn't want to be there, played by Veep's Tony Hale. According to director Josh Cooley, "The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose. A toy's purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he's facing a crisis."
The second teaser trailer introduces Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes voiced by comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. In a third teaser, which aired during the 2019 Super Bowl, Buzz is seen trapped in an amusement prize alongside Ducky and Bunny, who don't seem to appreciate the new competition.
Watch the new teaser above, and keep an eye out for the film when it hits theaters June 21, 2019.

John Legend Is Singing About Dirty Diapers Again, but This Time He Lands Celebrity Dad Backup
Back in June 2018, John Legend shared with the world his love for dirty diapers . . . well, maybe not for changing dirty diapers, but he definitely loves singing about them. The singer's "Stinky Booty" song, which he's been singing to Luna since she was a baby, was featured in an adorable Pampers ad that made our ovaries explode. Just in time for the Super Bowl, John is back at it again with the stinky booty duty, but this time he's changing baby Miles's diaper, and he needs backup.
The spot, called "Stinky Booty Duty 2.0," is a part of Pampers's new "Love The Change" campaign - which aims to support parents to love the change that comes with life with babies - and will premiere digitally and socially on Super Bowl Sunday. The ad aims to celebrate dads and the special bonds they have with their babies, and it features John, Miles, Luna, and a couple of surprise mystery guests, including another celebrity dad. Although Pampers wasn't willing to spoil the surprise for us ahead of Super BOwl Sunday, Chrissy Teigen was able to shed a bit of light for us.
"We're celebrating all the dads who make all of our children's lives so incredible."
"We're celebrating fathers!" Chrissy told POPSUGAR. "We're so excited to do that. John is such a hands-on dad, and we're celebrating all the dads who make all of our children's lives so incredible. Dads can sometimes be pushed to the side when it comes to parenting, but I have been so lucky to have someone as hands-on and excited to see our children grow up and go through all their little changes as John is."
But even though Chrissy believes that fathers should get all the credit they've earned when it comes to parenting, there's one thing she isn't completely willing to let John have.
"Honestly, a lot of people don't know this, and John and I fight about this, but I think I was the one who came up with the song in the first place! I want full writing credits! 'Stinky Booty' is a Chrissy jam. We have a minor discrepancy over who created it - I think I might have come up with the tune and the words and he came up with more of the tune? I don't know," she said with a laugh. "But he has been singing it to Luna since she was born and then it transferred on to Miles. It's a really adorable thing that's become his thing with the babies, which is wonderful."
In a recent Pampers study, it was found that "90 percent of dads consider themselves to be 'hands-on,' but more than half feel like society places less value on Dad's parenting role than Mom's." The brand told POPSUGAR, "Pampers understands that raising babies is a team sport, and as millions of families tune in to watch the big game together, Pampers saw this as the perfect moment to spotlight and celebrate dads and their special role."
Watch the ad above to see which mystery celebrity dad has joined John on #StinkyBootyDuty.

This Artist's Hilarious Depiction of Childbirth Will Make You Say, "I Wish It Were That Easy"
Childbirth is no easy feat, and women are incredible, badass beings for being able to grow and birth another human being from their own bodies. But artist Chris Simpsons seems to think childbirth is a bit *easier* than it is. In his hilarious book The Story of Life ($11, originally $15), there's a page all about how babies are born, and it's a little, well, off?
"I wish it was this easy . . . ," Reddit user WarmWetWilly captioned the photo. On the page, a woman can be seen crouching down in the Malasana yoga pose, saying, "Out you come little one," while a baby - saying, "Thank you" (lol) - crawls away behind her. "When the baby is ready to be born the woman will crouch down and let the newborn crawl out of her so it can finally be released into the wild," the page reads.
We're currently cackling at this, but seriously, who do we call about making it work like this?
Jamie Foxx, Jon Bon Jovi, and More Celebrities Put Their Game Faces on at the Super Bowl
This year's Super Bowl was a fraught battle between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots (with the Patriots taking home the win), and stars couldn't keep away. Both teams have fans with some big names, so it's no surprise there were more than a few celebrities in the stands. Check out all the celebs who came out to cheer on their favorite teams at Super Bowl LIII, from Jamie Foxx to Jon Bon Jovi himself!
Marvel Fans Will Definitely Not Be Able to Move on From the New Avengers: Endgame Trailer
In a move that has all Marvel fans shaken, a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame debuted during Super Bowl LII and it is glorious. While the first trailer gave us a bleak look at where our heroes are post-Thanos's snap, the Super Bowl spot is a much more hopeful tease. Though the new footage opens up with a sped-up montage of all our fallen heroes and a very desolate-looking aerial shot of New York City (thanks for the heartbreak, Marvel!), the rest shows that the remaining Avengers haven't given up just yet. There's glimpses of Tony and Nebula hard at work possibly fixing their ship to get back home, Rhodey and Scott suiting up as War Machine and Ant-Man, and - a sight for sore eyes, honestly - the Avengers marching through their compound as they head into (what we assume) is battle.
It's all extra encouraging when you add in the voiceover from Steve saying, "Some people move on, but not us." Preach, Captain America! The Avengers never give up and this trailer only serves to prove that we're in for a big fight. We might not know exactly how it's going to go down, but at least we know that our favorite heroes are definitely not going to go down quietly. But of course, the trailer also leaves us with a lot more questions than before. Is that footage of Tony and Nebula fixing the ship before or after he records that message for Pepper? What were the Avengers looking up at outside the Avengers compound? Is Thor still on Earth and what is he holding? And WHY is Steve using his old shield?
We won't be getting any answers soon, but it's nice to know we aren't the only ones with questions. Fans went wild after the trailer aired and they're already full of theories from the short clip. Check out some their reactions ahead and sit tight, Endgame premieres on April 26.

Kylie Jenner Captured the "Priceless" Moment Stormi Saw Her Dad During the Super Bowl
Seeing your dad perform at the Super Bowl? "Priceless." Kylie Jenner recently captured her one-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster, watching her dad, Travis Scott, perform during the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show alongside Maroon 5. In the video taken backstage at the arena, Stormi looks up in amazement and giggles as Travis appears onscreen.
Stormi celebrated her first birthday on Feb. 1, and it was actually right before the 2018 Super Bowl that Kylie Jenner revealed she had given birth following a pregnancy she kept private. The day before the big game, Kylie shared a picture with Travis and captioned it "baby #2?" Don't get too excited, though: Kylie later clarified that she isn't, in fact, pregnant after someone asked in a comment.
Microsoft's Inclusive Super Bowl Ad Featuring Kids With Special Needs Is Just Perfect
Although we love munching on snacks while watching two NFL teams go head-to-head during the Super Bowl, far and away the best part of the event is the creative ads that run in between plays. This year, Microsoft is showcasing a brand-new ad that features kids with special needs to promote its adaptive controller, and now officially "everyone can play."
The sweet advertisement centers on boys and girls who love to play video games with friends and families, but have struggled to make the average controllers work for them in the past. Thankfully, Microsoft's adaptive controller enables gamers with limited mobility to create their own custom versions. Sounds like a pretty amazing idea, right? We thought so, too.
Can You Lose Weight Simply by Walking? Here's Why Experts Say Yes
If you're starting a weight-loss plan from scratch, meaning you've never regularly exercised or you've been on hiatus for a good while, the thought of starting a new fitness routine can be more than a little daunting. But rest assured that you don't need to commit to running a marathon or even a 5K to achieve your weight-loss goals - you can start by just walking.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, the average person needs about four hours in total of moderately intense aerobic exercise per week, to lose weight. However, there are some important factors to keep in mind if you want a walking regimen to prove effective for weight-loss results.
"Walking is one of the safest and most effective methods you can use to lose weight," said A'Tondra Vinchealle, a certified personal trainer and owner of A'StrongerU Fitness in Houston. "As far as intensity is concerned, it is important that you understand exactly what 'moderately intense' means for you as an individual, because this will not be the same for each person."
In order for walking to be an effective method of weight loss, you need to ensure that when you are walking, you are slightly out of breath, Vinchealle said. This means that you would need to move from the more leisurely stroll you normally do when not actively exercising to more of a "power walk." Power walking is great for aerobic and anaerobic exercise, because it engages multiple muscle groups at one time. However, it is important to understand that without consistent resistance training (whether it be training with weights or by using your own body weight), it will take you much longer to see the results you are looking for.
"When you are slightly out of breath, this is when you will know you have hit the 'starting point' of effectiveness for your walk," she said.
"Now, if you are new to working out or if you are coming back after a long hiatus of not working out, you will probably see fast results in the beginning, but after about six weeks or so, you will experience a plateau," she said. "While there is absolutely nothing wrong with using power walking as your only method of physical activity for your weight loss, you need to be realistic about the kinds of results you are looking for and the time it will take you to get there."
Vinchealle also stressed the importance on focusing on one's nutrition when walking for weight loss.
"It's very important to make healthier dietary choices to go along with your power walk if you are looking to lose weight. If you are not addressing your nutrition habits, then no amount of any type of exercise will produce sustainable weight-loss results," she said. "This doesn't have to be complicated, either - you can take those first steps by simply adding an extra serving of green vegetables to all of your meals or beginning each meal with a warm glass of lemon water. Both of these habits will help to curb overeating and get you closer to reaching your weight loss goals."
The 20 Saddest Meals We've Ever Made Ourselves
It's impossible to be a first-class chef all the time, or most of the time, or even ever. Time can be scarce, and POPSUGAR editors are just as guilty of emptying a jar of peanut butter one spoonful at a time instead of eating a balanced dinner. If fact, we've eaten some pretty sad meals when left to our own devices. I put out an open call for the most depressing meals our editors have "prepared" for themselves, and the results are so shocking that I've removed all of their names from this list. Here is the definitive ranking of the 20 saddest responses I got - from slightly embarrassing to just downright heartbreaking.
Watch the Trailer For Hole in the Ground, the Horror Flick That Freaked Out Sundance
In just the last few years, Sundance has quickly become the place where horror sensations are made. In 2017, Get Out premiered at the festival, going on to win an Academy Award (a rarity for horror films)! The following year didn't disappoint either, giving us what is far and away 2018's most disturbing offering, Hereditary. This year, the buzz is all about Hole in the Ground; it's an Irish horror film about a mother and son who move to a small wooded town. When her son disappears into the forest, in the middle of the night, she's not so sure it's her child who comes back. Even the trailer is enough to give you shivers. Check it out and maybe stock up on a nightlight or two, because Hole in the Ground will be barreling into theaters on March 1.
Amazon Sells a Cartoonishly Large Heated Slipper That I Guess Both Feet Go in - You Actually Cannot Get Up
There's a time and a place for cutesy cat slippers, and then there's a time for serious gear that will help you hunker down and stay warm. If you want something that gives you permission to wrap yourself up on the couch and never get up, the Pure Enrichment PureRelief Deluxe Foot Warmer ($50) is just the thing. The first thing you'll notice is that it's massive, and to be honest, when we first looked at it, we weren't even sure what it was.
It has two sock-like adjustable drawstrings (so that your feet get a snug fit) and four heat settings. It heats up in three minutes, and you can even toss it in the wash in between uses. Our favorite feature, however, is that once you're in, you're in. There's no walking to answer the door or get someone a cup of tea. It's just you and your foot warmer.

Relive Maroon 5's Super Bowl Show Featuring Travis Scott, Big Boi, and . . . SpongeBob?
The 2019 Super Bowl halftime show was an assortment of hits both nostalgic and new. Maroon 5 opened the show with several of the band's earlier songs like "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love," but the vibe quickly shifted when Travis Scott appeared to perform last year's ubiquitous "Sicko Mode." (Scott was introduced by a SpongeBob SquarePants clip, by the way.)
Following the unexpected collaboration between the two artists, Adam Levine went on to perform newer songs like "Sugar" and "Girls Like You." (Although Cardi B is featured on the latter, she refused to perform at the big game to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.) In another unexpected twist, Big Boi also popped up to perform Outkast's "The Way You Move." At the very end, Levine turned it up by performing "Moves like Jagger" . . . shirtless. Relive the halftime show ahead.

I Had a Huge Wedding - and I Don't Regret It
When people learn I'm Greek-American, their minds often turn to the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I'm frequently asked, "Is that movie accurate? Was your wedding like that?" Yes, I respond. All of it. That movie basically sums up my wedding. I even have the pesky brothers who taught my fiancé all of the naughty swear words in Greek.
Planning a wedding can be stressful - particularly when it comes to the guest list. Maybe one partner prefers an intimate affair while the other wants to invite all of the neighbors in the subdivision. In my case, my husband and I knew from the moment we got engaged that our wedding was going to be big - and loud.

When I said "yes" to my not-Greek boyfriend, my mother began planning the biggest, fattest Greek wedding that she could. I had no control over it, and I did not care. My parents raised four very unruly children, and none of us ended up in jail, so my mom earned the right to plan my entire wedding, and it was big. The invite list was over 450 people - that kind of big.
I remember sitting with my then-fiancé in my parents' family room one weekend. We had booked the grand hall, I had picked my dress, and next came the tightening up of other details. "OK," my mom said, bringing out three sheets of paper covered in names. "It's time to talk guest list." She had a certain mischievousness in her voice. I knew exactly what that meant.
"You're inviting the entire church, aren't you, Mom?" I asked.
"Nooo," she said. "But there are many people who we have to invite. So get started on your list, too."
Our list didn't even compare to my parents'. I'll admit that at first, it bothered me a little. My young, selfish mind thought, "Isn't it our wedding? We should get to invite more people than my parents!" But then I realized that the people on this grand guest list helped raise me, too. They wanted to attend my wedding and help us celebrate. Looking back, I feel grateful.
On the big day, when my three brothers opened up the church doors, the congregation was packed - standing room only. Thankfully, it wasn't as uneven as the movie: my husband's side of the church actually had guests in it, too. I felt the love of everyone as I walked down the aisle to the altar and again after we were announced as "husband and wife."
The wedding reception felt like fireworks. My husband and I walked through the doors, and the Greeks lived up to their loud stereotype: cheering, standing, and whistling. After we ate and sauntered through our first dance as a couple, my husband and I floated through the classy decorated hall (not obnoxious, and very blue, like the movie) and greeted every single table. My husband shook the hands of people he had never met, and I hugged them all. We didn't mind taking time out of our night to thank people who wanted to be present at our wedding. We felt the opposite, actually - really freaking grateful.
I don't regret having a big fat Greek wedding at all. Some people may argue that having a large wedding is overly lavish and unnecessary. Sure, you're right. But sometimes, having large weddings is just part of your big, tight-knit culture. I feel honored that my parents could invite all of their closest relatives and friends. They were proud of their one and only daughter, and I was not going to be the one to rob them of that joy. If I had to do it all over again, I would - for my parents. Because sometimes your wedding day is bigger than you.
Who Is Running For President in 2020?
Donald Trump has barely completed his second year in office, but presidential hopefuls from all parties are already lining up to run for office in 2020. While only a handful of political players have officially launched presidential campaigns, the signs that someone is running - serious fundraising, visiting battleground states, making political appearances, releasing a book, etc. - often make ambitions fairly clear well before they're announced.
So who might President Trump (if he is, in fact, the GOP's candidate in 2020) face in less than two years? While no Republicans have publicly waged a campaign to unseat the current president, several Democrats - and one Independent - have already officially announced their intention to run against him or launched serious "exploratory committees" to gear up for a run. Here's a look at the politicians who are running for Commander in Chief in 2020.

Joe Will Face Off Against Haunting of Hill House's Victoria Pedretti in Season 2 of You
Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House is one of those great shows that one half of you wants to go on forever, while the other, smarter half knows that it's best to let it end in peace. Despite the fact that a second season of the horror-drama is unlikely, we don't have to say goodbye to seeing the Crane family alive and well on the streaming giant (well, technically) - Victoria Pedretti, who plays Nell Crane, has just been cast in the second season of You.
After the show experienced a surge in popularity after switching from Lifetime to Netflix, fans of You have been desperate to find out what deranged serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is going to get up to next. So far we've heard that the show is moving from being set in New York City to Los Angeles, where Candace presumably runs off to after confronting Joe inside Mooney's at the end of season one and filling him in on the fact that - Surprise! - he didn't succeed in murdering her after all. Or, at least, it seems that way. Joe has been known to hallucinate quite a bit, so we won't be sure until the show returns.
Now, Netflix has confirmed through its See What's Next Twitter account that Pedretti will play a key character named Love Quinn (yes, LOVE QUINN) in season two: "Haunting of Hill House breakout Victoria Pedretti landed the female lead in @YouNetflix Season 2. She plays Love Quinn, an aspiring chef who doesn't care about social media. She's also tending to a deep grief - so when she meets Joe, she senses a shared knowledge of profound loss."

Based on that one tweet we already have a ton of questions. What "profound loss" has she experienced? How will Joe stalk her every move if she doesn't have social media? Is he really and truly over Beck? Will we ever figure out which You writer is responsible for coming up with the name "Love Quinn"?!?
A premiere date for the second season has yet to be nailed down, but we can likely expect plenty more stomach-twisting antics from Badgley's Joe (and Love!) come 2019. In the meantime, hopefully Netflix continues to churn out cheeky jokes about the news:

Watch the Fun Toy Story 4 Teaser That Aired at the End of the Super Bowl
Woody and the rest of the gang are BACK!
The buzz surrounding Toy Story 4 has been building for quite some time now. As far back as March 2015, Pixar president Jim Morris described the new addition to the beloved franchise as a "love story" that will focus on the relationship between Bo Peep and Woody, but plenty of time has passed since then, and it seems the story has changed quite a bit.
In the first teaser trailer for the latest installment in the beloved animated franchise, Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toys welcome a new addition to Bonnie's room: Forky, a spork-turned-craft-project who doesn't want to be there, played by Veep's Tony Hale. According to director Josh Cooley, "The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose. A toy's purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he's facing a crisis."
The second teaser trailer introduces Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes voiced by comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. In a third teaser, which aired during the 2019 Super Bowl, Buzz is seen trapped in an amusement prize alongside Ducky and Bunny, who don't seem to appreciate the new competition.
Watch the new teaser above, and keep an eye out for the film when it hits theaters June 21, 2019.

Marvel Fans Will Definitely Not Be Able to Move on From the New Avengers: Endgame Trailer
In a move that has all Marvel fans shaken, a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame debuted during Super Bowl LII and it is glorious. While the first trailer gave us a bleak look at where our heroes are post-Thanos's snap, the Super Bowl spot is a much more hopeful tease. Though the new footage opens up with a sped-up montage of all our fallen heroes and a very desolate-looking aerial shot of New York City (thanks for the heartbreak, Marvel!), the rest shows that the remaining Avengers haven't given up just yet. There's glimpses of Tony and Nebula hard at work possibly fixing their ship to get back home, Rhodey and Scott suiting up as War Machine and Ant-Man, and - a sight for sore eyes, honestly - the Avengers marching through their compound as they head into (what we assume) is battle.
It's all extra encouraging when you add in the voiceover from Steve saying, "Some people move on, but not us." Preach, Captain America! The Avengers never give up and this trailer only serves to prove that we're in for a big fight. We might not know exactly how it's going to go down, but at least we know that our favorite heroes are definitely not going to go down quietly. But of course, the trailer also leaves us with a lot more questions than before. Is that footage of Tony and Nebula fixing the ship before or after he records that message for Pepper? What were the Avengers looking up at outside the Avengers compound? Is Thor still on Earth and what is he holding? And WHY is Steve using his old shield?
We won't be getting any answers soon, but it's nice to know we aren't the only ones with questions. Fans went wild after the trailer aired and they're already full of theories from the short clip. Check out some their reactions ahead and sit tight, Endgame premieres on April 26.
