These Sunglasses Double as Headphones in the COOLEST Way
Everyone is super particular about what headphones they use and why. Some like over-the-ear ones with cushion, and others prefer simple earbuds that just play sound. But we might all finally agree on the perfect pair with the Zungle Panther, sunglasses that work as headphones by vibrating music into your skull.
The sunglasses, weighing only 45 grams, connect to your phone via Bluetooth and play music by sending "sound waves to your skill via vibrations." The company thinks it's a safer option, especially for athletes like runners, who want to hear traffic sounds and their music at the same time. You can see how it works in a video below.
Since the sunglasses are connected to your phone via Bluetooth, they can also answer any calls you might get. They charge via a "hidden" USB port and will come in five different colors with the option of choosing from seven different colored lenses.
Zungle, the company behind the Zungle Panther, has already met and surpassed its Kickstarter goal with $1,947,035 pledged from supporters. If you're interested, you can head over to its Indiegogo campaign and purchase a variety of sets like a basic pack for $119 or a triple pack of Zungle Panthers for $310. Otherwise, you can wait to get one pair of these sunglasses for $150.

Image Source: Columbia Pictures
Ever been on an innocent errands run with your little one when suddenly they say something a little off-kilter in the loudest voice they've ever donned? It happens to the best of us, and though it may seem mortifying in the moment, these incidents are often the stories that elicit the most laughs at parties. We asked real moms, "What's the most inappropriate thing your child has said in public?" and the answers we got had us in tears.
Read through for 21 of the most hysterical responses we received.
- "My daughter was 2-years-old and told the cashier at the grocery store, 'Sometimes daddy pulls on mommy's nightgown and mommy says no.'" - Emily
- "When I was pregnant with my youngest daughter, we explained to my older daughter that mommy has a baby in her belly and daddy put it there. Well, she always wants to be just like mommy, so she started going around telling people she has a baby in her belly and her daddy put it there . . . " - Heather
- "Look, Mommy, that police has handcuffs like the ones in your bedroom!" - Ashley
- "I think my daughter was five when she said, 'Mommy has a hairy peepee,' at the Thanksgiving dinner table with my in-laws." - Heather

- "Drinking Coke makes you bleed from your penis." - Katie

- "Went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter and she told everyone that my titties were leaking because my titties were making milk for the new baby - then continued to talk about boobs." - Tasha
- "Took my kids to see Puss and Boots, and when lights dimmed and Puss appeared on the screen, my middle son screamed, 'It's pussy time!' The whole theater was cracking up - I laughed so hard I cried. - Glen
- "'Mom, that guy just totally checked out your butt!' This of course was said very loud in the deli department at my grocery store. He's ten." - Chrissy
- "My daughter quoted a line from Dumb and Dumber while a nurse was helping her use the restroom, 'Well, suck me sideways!'" - Cristi

- "In an overly crowded, quiet elevator, my son, who was four at the time, asked an old lady who was smiling at him, 'What are you looking at, weirdo!?'" - Sara

17 Lucky Guys Who Have Fallen For Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore has been in the spotlight for over four decades, but there are probably still some things you may not know about her, including her dating history. While Drew is back on the market after ending her marriage to Will Kopelman in April, the actress and mom of two has been vocal about her fondness for falling in love; over the years, Drew has dated fellow Hollywood stars like Justin Long, Luke Wilson, and director Spike Jonze, as well as musicians Fabrizio Moretti and Eric Erlandson - and she's even guilty of "ghosting" on Christian Bale after one date back in the '80s!
Make Eggplant, Cukes, and Summer Squash Tastier With 1 Simple Step
Many vegetables, like zucchini, cucumber, Summer squash, and eggplant, have a high water content, so to avoid dishes from turning into a diluted, soggy mess, treat the vegetables by salting and draining them first.
The key is to slice or grate the vegetable, sprinkle the cut surfaces with a liberal amount of kosher salt (but don't go overboard!), then wait patiently for 15 minutes for the salt to draw out the water via osmosis. Then, depending on the amount of water brought forth, either pat it dry with a towel or drain away the liquid using a colander.
This process, known as disgorging vegetables, works well for any dish where an excess of liquid would be an issue, such as cucumber salad, eggplant parmesan, a veggie-packed quiche, or any other pastry dish that could turn soggy if vegetables are too moist after cooking. It also helps reduce the bitterness that's sometimes present in older eggplants.
Canadian researchers uncover genetic effects of prenatal alcohol exposure
Canadian researchers are one step closer to uncovering a biomarker associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder after identifying distinct patterns associated with the DNA of children who were exposed to alcohol in the womb.
If You Use Facebook For News, Read This New Update
The way you see your news on Facebook is about to change completely. Facebook announced on Aug. 26 that the Trending Topics section on your feed will no longer be curated by people. Instead, an algorithm will surface what you see.
Previously, the Trending Topics section would include a short description of the news. Now, only the topic will show up, as well as a how many people are talking about it.
To find out more about the topic, you'll need to click on the title. There, a search results page will show who's talking about it and what the news actually is. Facebook states that the results you see on this page "are surfaced algorithmically, based on a high volume of mentions and a sharp increase in mentions over a short period of time." If you just hover on a topic, you'll see an excerpt of the topic from a news outlet.
Facebook is making this change to an algorithm because it will allow the feature to grow globally. The company also writes that a team is still in place to make sure what the algorithm shows is actually news.
This isn't totally unexpected news, considering the backlash Facebook received when numerous outlets reported that the Trending Topics section was biased. Though the company conducted an investigation and found no evidence of such claims, the idea that Facebook isn't entirely unbiased continues. Maybe this change will help change that perception - or worsen it when an algorithm surfaces the wrong type of content.

20 Celebrities Who Could Not Handle Being in Beyoncé's Presence
Celebrities tend to run in the same circles, so it's no surprise when they end up being photographed together at high-profile events.

The Moving Story Behind This Lunchroom Photo Will Bring You to Tears
Leah Paske hasn't been in the "scary and hard" middle school grades for years, and understandably has forgotten most things about her experience aside from the one time she cried after a boy called her a name on the bus. But now that her son who has autism just started sixth grade, Paske has been feeling a bit of anxiety about middle school all over again.
"Sometimes I'm grateful for his autism," Paske admitted in a post to Facebook. "That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think, I hope, it shields him. He doesn't seem to notice when people stare at him when he flaps his hands. He doesn't seem to notice that he doesn't get invited to birthday parties anymore. And he doesn't seem to mind if he eats lunch alone."
Paske feels worried for her son, and consistently asks him if anything about his day at school made him sad or if he ate lunch with someone. This week, however, she got her answer to the latter question not from her son, but through a heartwarming photo of him eating lunch with a special new friend.
"Travis Rudolph, a wide receiver at Florida State, and several other FSU players visited my son's school today," she wrote. "I'm not sure what exactly made this incredibly kind man share a lunch table with my son, but I'm happy to say that it will not soon be forgotten. This is one day I didn't have to worry if my sweet boy ate lunch alone, because he sat across from someone who is a hero in many eyes."

These 10 Products Prove That Bar Soaps Should Still Be in Your Routine
According to market intelligence agency Mintel, millennials are largely responsible for the decline in bar soap's popularity. Apparently, the timeless product suffers from seeming too old-fashioned, with younger shoppers preferring liquid formulas to solid iterations.
While we're admittedly big fans of fluid body washes and facial cleansers, that doesn't mean we're forsaking our bar soaps entirely. Not only are they the most travel-friendly beauty product in our arsenal, but some in particular are superior to their liquid brethren. Read on to discover 10 bar soaps (for face, body, or both!) that we'll always swear by.

This Song About How Time Passes Too Quickly Will Send Any Mom Into a Tearjerking Tailspin
Just thinking about watching our children grow up - and how it happens too quickly - makes our eyes well up with tears. So watching a music video about that inevitability might be altogether too much for any sentimental parent to handle.
Nichole Nordeman, a Christian singer-songwriter, is single-handedly causing a run on Kleenex with her latest song, "Slow Down," which asks our collective kids to do just that - all while home-video clips from dozens of different families show how babies soon become toddlers who soon become teens who . . . well, you get the idea.
Even her inspiration for this bittersweet parenthood anthem, which she shared on Facebook, had us in tears:
I don't know of a more uttered or whispered phrase from a mother of any age, about her child of any age, than "It's going by too fast." I feel like I spend my life trying to slow time. Trying to celebrate the growth and the milestones of my children, and then secretly daydreaming about building a time machine in my garage, so I can return to rocking my babies at midnight. If you've ever looked at your child running across a field, or striding across a graduation stage, or walking down the middle aisle of a church clutching a bouquet, you'll know why this song is special to me.
If you still aren't convinced in this song's five-tissue power, just try to listen through the first 30 seconds without welling up. We have a feeling these are the lyrics that will send you over the edge:
Had to crawl before you walked /
Before you ran /
Before I knew it /
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand/
'Cause you could do it on your own now
If those didn't do the trick, we don't know what will.
This Is How Beyoncé's Actual Lemonade Recipe Tastes
Beyoncé's Lemonade album dropped this year, and the reason she titled it so is for the old adage, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." The album simultaneously sheds light on the difficulties black women in America have faced for centuries and Beyoncé's personal marital struggles due to Jay Z's insinuated infidelity. Despite the sour, heartwrenching theme, the album ends on a positive, powerful, and sweet note for women - just like the lemonade recipe Beyoncé shares in the last section of the visual album, called "Redemption." It comes from her late grandmother, Agnéz Deréon, and according to Beyoncé, this is the method of preparation:
Take one pint of water, add half pound of sugar
The juice of eight lemons, the zest of half lemon
Pour the water from one jug, then to the other several times
Strain through a clean napkin
Unlike typical lemonade recipes, this one calls for a secret ingredient: lemon zest. The oils from the zest infuse into the lemonade and boost the lemony flavor. There's something deeply cathartic and therapeutic about preparing the lemonade like this. The lemon squeezing, swishing the lemonade back and forth between jugs until the sugar dissolves, and straining out the pulp and lemon zest: all of these actions take time, and yet focusing on them is like a meditation. The procedure is slow and calming, which is perfect for a scorching Summer day. The lemonade flavor itself is shockingly citrusy at first before ending on a soothing, sweet (but not too sweet!) note. I can see why Beyoncé's family has passed this recipe down from daughter to daughter, and why she would pass it, along with the simple-yet-wise message, to her fans and women everywhere.
A few things to note:
- 1 pint water = 2 cups
- 1/2 pound sugar = 2 1/4 cups
- Yields: 4 small cups of lemonade

Gigi Hadid Has a Secret Style Icon, and She's Probably Yours Too
Gigi Hadid is not someone who copies trends. Instead, she makes a look all her own. She works sporty slides with feminine lingerie and ties a cardigan around her neck in a move that's so 1950s, while effortlessly channeling the '90s with the rest of her look. Her brilliant outfits conjure images of one very iconic (albeit fictional) style icon: Carrie Bradshaw.
Just like the Sex and the City star, Gigi keeps a few sexy pieces in rotation - from a plaid crop top to thigh-highs - and updates them in quirky ways. Read on to see all the times Ms. Hadid and Ms. Bradshaw had the same idea when it came to fashion. If we didn't know any better, we'd say these two masterminds are the ultimate style twins.
The Harry Potter Fan Theory That J.K. Rowling Finds "Strangely Upsetting"
While J.K. Rowling typically entertains - or just doesn't acknowledge - circulating Harry Potter fan theories, she has some pretty strong feelings about a recent one involving Dumbledore and horcruxes.
One of the YouTube vloggers behind SuperCarlinBrothers, Jonathan Carlin, recently fleshed out a theory that Professor Dumbledore's animal companion, Fawkes, was actually a horcrux - implying that the greatest wizard of all time dabbled in dark magic.
Per Rowling's universe, horcruxes are created to attain immortality. However, they also involve murdering someone else in order to make one. This theory posits that though Dumbledore didn't deliberately murder anyone, he did still harbor guilt over the death of his sister, which he ultimately blamed himself for. Since Dumbledore pinned his sister's murder on his own neglect, he theoretically had a chance to perform dark magic and create a horcrux. You can watch a video about the theory below.
Though Carlin makes a strong case for this theory, Rowling straight up denied it when it was brought to her attention on Twitter - and even went so far as to call it "upsetting."
The idea that anybody believes this is strangely upsetting to me. https://t.co/G4RlSB9kEI
- J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 4, 2016
As other people on Twitter noted, Dumbledore didn't fear death and therefore did not desire immortality. His incomparable goodness also makes it really hard to believe that he would do something so evil in nature. Luckily, we can all let out a sigh of relief and thank Rowling for at least acknowledging this troubling one.

8 Beauty Products a US Open Tennis Pro Actually Wears on the Court
Ana Ivanovic has a badass tennis game and a flawless beauty look to go with it. The pro is known for having glowy, bronze skin and wearing her brunette hair in a high ponytail braid (though when she takes it down, she reveals her gorgeous beach waves). As she gears up to play at the US Open in NYC, we chatted with her to find out what products she actually wears while working out to feel good and still look glam.
"When I'm getting ready to go out on the tennis court, I like to focus more on having clean and healthy skin rather than wearing lots of makeup," she said. "To me, when it comes to beauty, less actually is more. Even if I wanted to wear makeup when training or playing professional matches, it just wouldn't stay on - I sweat too much! I do wish I was able to wear a lip gloss or mascara on the court, but having makeup run down my face would be a distraction and would compromise my game. That said, stepping onto the court with a clean, natural and polished look helps to build my confidence and allows me to focus on my performance."

Daniel Ek Invented Spotify, but His Bride Just Brought Back the Asymmetrical Wedding Dress
When Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek got married to his long-term partner, Sofia Levander, the sun was setting on Lake Como, Italy. Sofia walked down the aisle to "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses, showing off her strapless, asymmetrical gown. From the back, it was easy to see that Sofia's train swept the floor, but from the front, her design appeared just a simple cream cocktail dress, so Sofia was able to show off her satin bow shoes. Her yellow bouquet complemented the champagne shade of her number, which featured a strapless ruched bodice.
You might remember that Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney also tied the knot in Italy, but with a guest list that included Mark Zuckerberg and Chris Rock, and a performance by Bruno Mars, the Ek wedding was just as glamorous.

Want a Tighter Butt? Then You Better Start Doing This
There was a lot of groaning happening during celebrity trainer Kit Rich's class; her mantra of the day seemed to be "just 10 more seconds, and get lower!" It didn't matter how pretty our location was - poolside at the W Los Angeles - every plea for 10 more seconds sounded like pure torture. That is until Kit explained the method behind her madness: "The lower you drop, the higher your butt." And who wouldn't want a natural butt lift?
It's a simple tip that Kit says women should apply to the basics of butt building - namely squats, lunges, and all their variations. Her advice is to do a set of squats or lunges as you normally would, but before you come out of that last rep, sink into the exercise a little deeper and hold there for five to 10 seconds, and then drop even lower, holding for another 10 seconds. But it doesn't end there - sink even lower, and now pulse for a count of 10. With every progression, Kit advises to maintain even breath and to check in with your form, especially being sure that your core and glutes are engaged and that your knees are behind your toes. "All of this will help you get through the progression easier," she says.
If you're ready for a little butt-lifting of your own, start with this how-to on doing a basic squat. Then, on the very last rep of each set, be sure to incorporate Kit's method for dropping it low!

Suffering From Eczema? Here's What You Need to Know
The following scenario is all too familiar to many: you experience a sudden, intense itch. That itch turns into an angry, scaly red rash, and then that begins to spread. No, it's not poison ivy nor chickenpox. You have atopic dermatitis, better known as eczema.
According to the National Eczema Association, more than 31 million men and women (in the United States alone!) suffer from this frustrating genetic condition. Everyone from Adele to Kate Middleton has dealt with it and recently, it gained media attention thanks to HBO series The Night Of, in which John Turturro's character, John Stone, suffers from an intense case of eczema. While his flare-ups famously landed him in the hospital, the common ailment can typically be managed with some simple tips. We talked to Dr. Craig Austin, New York City dermatologist and founder of Cane + Austin, to get the lowdown on this itchy issue.
What is eczema and what causes it?
"Medically, it's called atopic dermatitis," said Dr. Austin. The condition is genetic and presents as dry, itchy skin that results in rashes. "It's usually an itch that rashes rather than a rash that itches," he explained. Dermatologists diagnose eczema by its appearance and occasionally by biopsies to exclude any other issues.
What triggers eczema?
"Once your skin is dry, it breaks down easily to form a rash," Dr. Austin said. Environmental factors like cold, dry air; overexposure to water; irritating soaps or perfumes; stress; and diet can all contribute to eczema.
Which body parts are prone to eczema?
Though eczema rashes can occur anywhere on the body, Dr. Austin told us that it's more common on flexural areas (elbows, backs of knees, etc.) and arms and legs. "It probably occurs on the extremities more due to the lack of circulation to these areas, thus resulting in drier skin," he noted.
How severe can eczema become?
Unfortunately, eczema can go beyond seriously intense itching; sufferers are more at risk for skin infections. "A person with eczema who develops a cold sore due to herpes simplex virus is more susceptible to having it spread all over the skin," warned Dr. Austin. Those with this condition are also vulnerable to erythroderma, an inflammatory disease that causes much of the body to become red. This will lead to loss of bodily fluids and electrolytes. "These are serious issues which all need to be regulated in a hospital under supervision of doctors," he explained.
What products are effective in treating eczema?
Gentle exfoliation and deep hydration are essential when dealing with these rashes; exfoliate to remove the dull, dry skin, then moisturize the tender skin underneath with a rich cream. Over-the-counter formulas containing lactic acid, like Fragrance-Free AmLactin Moisturizing Lotion 12 Percent ($18), do double duty. Dr. Austin's own Cane + Austin Body Retexture Lotion contains another alpha-hydroxy acid, glycolic acid, to slough off dead skin cells.
"It's a great home treatment for eczema if you're aiming to avoid a trip to the dermatologist and application of toxic steroids and antibiotics," he remarked. In more intense cases, he prescribes topical prescription moisturizers, steroid creams, and antibiotics for deeper treatment. Find more eczema-friendly products here, then DIY a relief cream here.
How else can someone with this condition manage it at home?
- Avoid drying out your skin. This sounds obvious, but everything from excessive swimming and overwashing hands to long, hot showers can strip skin of moisture.
- Add extra hydration back into your skin. Make sure you drink plenty of water and moisturize religiously. Dr. Austin also suggests using a humidifier in Winter to prevent skin from getting too parched.
- Follow an anti-inflammatory diet. Processed foods, sugars, simple carbohydrates, and alcohol increase cortisol and insulin production, which cause inflammation (your body's immune system response). "Eat foods containing omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, walnuts, and sardines, which help decrease inflammation and dryness in skin," said Dr. Austin. Discover more anti-inflammatory foods here.
- Skip perfumed soaps, lotions, and other beauty products. Scented items can irritate sensitive skin. Dr. Austin likes Neutrogena's and Cetaphil's fragrance-free formulas as they are extremely gentle.
- Don't stress. Stress also triggers cortisol production and thus inflammation in your body, which will lead to itching and eczema flare-ups. Consider a tropical vacation during Winter to help you unwind. "It might clear your eczema due to decreased stress and increased [skin] hydration from the humid environment," remarked Dr. Austin.

Someone Made a Parody Rogue One Trailer and It's the Best Thing Ever
Say the words "Jar Jar Binks" to any Star Wars fan and they'll either sigh or start laughing hysterically. The character from the prequel trilogy was the best or worst character in the films, depending on who you talk to, and has become a meme in the Star Wars world. First, fans came up with a convincing theory that Jar Jar Binks is actually Supreme Leader Snoke, and now another fan completely remade the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer to include Jar Jar.
Titled "Rogue Binks: A Star Wars Story," the trailer replaces Jyn Erso with Jar Jar Binks. Michael Murdock, the creator behind the trailer, didn't stop there. He even adds several cameos, like replacing Chirrut Imwe's character with Chewbacca Mom. You'll have to watch the whole video to see who else pops up, but it will definitely make your day.

Sofia Richie Bonds With Her Famous Dad After Returning From Mexico With Justin Bieber
Sofia Richie was spotted spending some quality time with her dad, singer Lionel Richie, in LA on Friday afternoon. The duo did a little shopping and stopped by Pressed Juicery for a couple of fresh juice drinks before making their way down the street together.

Look Back at Queen Bey's Incredible VMAs Moments
Beyoncé was recognized with the Michael Jackson video vanguard award at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2014, and the honor couldn't have come at a more perfect time. After a hugely successful year - thanks to a Billboard No. 1 charting album, blowout Super Bowl halftime-show performance, and not one but two sold-out tours - Queen Bey was perfectly poised to receive the award, which was rightfully named after one of her biggest inspirations as an entertainer. Not only was she presented with her gold Moonman by husband Jay Z and their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, but Beyoncé also performed an epic 16-minute medley of her surprise visual album to a packed house of celebrity fans. It was, to say the least, an incredible night.
In true Beyoncé fashion, the singer hit the stage in 2016 for another medley of her work, this time from her visual album Lemonade. The powerful performance tackled police brutality, infidelity, and feminism, and the videos for "Formation" and "Hold Up" garnered Beyoncé three Moonmen. This all came after she walked the red carpet with her 4-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who wore an adorable princess gown and wings.
Since gaining fame as a member of Destiny's Child in the late '90s, Beyoncé has been a fixture at many VMAs ceremonies and has taken the stage multiple times to perform, present, and accept trophies. From her first time walking the red carpet with Jay Z to being caught in the middle of a controversial moment between Taylor Swift and Kanye West to her epic pregnancy announcement after a 2011 performance of "Love on Top," we're taking a trip down memory lane with Beyoncé's most memorable VMAs moments over the years.

This Girl Hearing the News She's Receiving a New Heart Will Bring You to Tears
Although Macey Rae Wright was born with a heart condition and received surgery as an infant, she's led a relatively normal and healthy life - until two years ago. At just age 11, Macey went through two open heart surgeries, but still, her left ventricle began failing, and there weren't any medications or surgeries to correct it. After waiting on the transplant list, hoping there would be enough time before her condition worsened rendering her unable to receive a new heart, Macey was surprised by her mom with news that they finally got the call.
In a video posted to the Macey's New Heart Facebook page, you can watch the emotional moment Macey heard the news she'd been waiting for hear for so long - it's for sure going to bring you to tears.
Dad's Warning After His Daughter Almost Choked to Death Needs to Reach All Parents
"As I sit here still shaking I'm posting this as a reminder to ALL parents of small children: please always read labels on the foods we feed them," writes Justin Morrice after saving his daughter, Annabelle, from choking to death. Morrice turned away from his daughter for 10 seconds as she snacked on Gerber Lil'Crunchies, and when he turned back he realized she was gasping for air.
She was trying to cry but no sound was coming out. I rushed over and picked her up and turned her over and slapped her back (as we were taught) for what seemed like forever. I still could not hear anything. I flipped her over and her lips had turned blue and she was still trying to cry. . . . It was at this moment I thought my little girl was going to die in my arms.
I panicked and did the only thing I could think of: I rammed my finger into her mouth and down her throat and was able to squish the cheesie enough that the next thing I heard was the sweetest sound in the world . . . her crying. I flipped her over again and slapped her back . . . it became dislodged and I was able to sweep it with my finger out of her mouth. It was the longest and scariest minute of my life.
Annabelle had eaten this snack days before, so Morrice was confused by the incident. Until his mom read the fine print.
"My mom found this 'warning' in tiny letters on the side to throw contents out after five days of breaking the seal," Morrice wrote. "I opened a new container and I could not believe the difference. The ones in the can she choked on I can only describe to be like a foam ear plug. . . . The ones in the new can crumbled with ease."
Morrice says he's not trying to degrade Gerber in any way but wants to remind parents to be diligent and always read all food labels.

Chloë Grace Moretz Jets Off to France Following Her Split From Brooklyn Beckham
Chloë Grace Moretz may have just split from boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham, but it appears she's doing just fine. On Friday, the actress popped up at the Deauville American Film Festival in France looking as happy as ever. Clad in a gorgeous floral Erdem gown, Chloë was all about the fans as she flashed a series of sweet smiles and blew kisses while hitting the red carpet at the French premiere of Infiltrator. In addition to her flawless appearance, she was also honored with the Young Hollywood Award, and during her speech she paid tribute to the honorees of years past, including Julianne Moore and Denzel Washington, saying, "People who have received this prize before me have gone to accomplish astounding things in their careers so I definitely feel the weight of this prize."
The following day, Chloë attended a photo call and kept the smiley appearances coming. While she and Brooklyn have yet to address their breakup, according to Page Six, the two were both in LA a few weeks ago, but didn't spend any time together.
John Krasinski's Quotes About Emily Blunt's Acting Career Will Make You Reevaluate Your Relationship
Certain celebrity couples can really define relationship goals by just the way they look at each other, but there's something to be said for a couple who respects each others' work, especially when they're in the same industry. For John Krasinski, respecting wife Emily Blunt's work is an extreme understatement. I chatted with Krasinski about his new movie, The Hollars, and when the conversation turned to Blunt and her new movie, The Girl on the Train, he gave her a rave review - but that's only the tip of the iceberg for his admiration. You may have heard that story about him watching The Devil Wears Prada 75 times, but he's a bigger fan than you can imagine. Here, Krasinski talks about several of the films in which Blunt has blown him away, and he goes on to say the incredible ways she inspires him. These, friends, are actual relationship goals.

POPSUGAR: Have you seen The Girl on The Train?
John Krasinski: I have.
PS: And what do you think of her performance?
JK: It's the best she's ever done. And I don't say that - I mean, yes, of course I have every reason to be biased, but in this particular instance - I never overstate how I feel about her. She always blows me away, but in this particular role, I can say genuinely for the first time, it's the only time since, as long as I've known her, that I ever forgot that it was her on screen. That's how good she is in this movie, which is very rare and very hard to do. She goes so full into the transformation of someone who's going through obviously a struggle in her life and a struggle with addiction, and it's just incredible. She's so good. She's always so good, but this is like a tour-de-force performance for me.

PS: Did you have a favorite movie role of hers before this?
JK: I did. I had many. Most recently I thought Sicario was a damn near perfect film.
PS: I thought she was going to get an Oscar nomination.
JK: I thought so too!
PS: What's your impression of the way that she can switch between comedy and drama?
JK: My impression is, she's just one of the best actors working. My wife, I've been a fan of hers long before we even knew each other. I was watching her in movies like My Summer of Love and The Devil Wears Prada I've probably seen way too many times. And this is before I even met her. And then I've watched her go from being a really good actress who makes really good decisions to being the best actress who makes exceptional decisions, and it's because she can literally do anything. But I will say above all, I think her taste is what impresses me the most. She chooses roles and understands roles so specifically. Yes, most recently, she's getting a lot of roles given to her, but before then she was choosing these roles. And she's so committed - the story in my head is Salmon Fishing in the the Yemen - I remember she loved that and she connected to that script, and I remember her getting calls that like, now we're gonna push two months, now we're gonna push five months, now we're gonna push a whole year. And that's where, most of the time, you lose your actress, because they have to go on to other things. And Emily just said, "no, whenever they make this movie, I'm gonna do it." She's so dedicated to the roles that she plays. I don't know that there's anybody better than her. She's so fantastic. I don't think I enjoy watching anybody more.
"I don't know that there's anybody better than her. She's so fantastic. I don't think I enjoy watching anybody more."
PS: I can say objectively that you're not just biased.
JK: Not just a creepy husband? [laughs] I'll go so far as to say she inspires me. Watching her work and getting to see her work is so inspiring. It teaches me so much about what I can be doing more and better of.
PS: I thought I heard that you guys had said you were not going to work together?
JK: No, we would love to work together. Would love it.
PS: I saw that you're both voicing characters in the upcoming Animal Crackers.
JK: Yes, our first animated [film] - that is true, our first roles that we've done together! We play a married couple in it. But I guess because it's animated we didn't think of it as like our first, but it is, it's our first roles together. But we'd love to do a movie together. I think it's gotta be the right movie. It's gotta be a movie where the story of us being married doesn't supersede the movie itself.
VMAs Style Hasn't Changed Since Your Childhood, and These Pics Are Proof
Whenever the MTV VMAs roll around, we can't help but stare at our screen, wide-eyed and waiting for the next major - and likely pretty kooky - fashion moment to occur. After all, this is the same show where Lil' Kim rocked a pasty, Britney Spears wore a snake, and pretty much anything goes in terms of style. So we weren't too surprised when 2016's event offered more of the same.
Scroll through for the red carpet style moments that made our jaws drop once again, from Beyoncé's angel-like ensemble to Hailey Baldwin's revealing jumpsuit. Some things truly never change!
Snapchat Just Made It SO Much Easier to Create a Custom Filter
One of the best aspects of Snapchat is discovering its best features along the way. A favorite among users is definitely the geofilter, which unlocks according to which city you're in. A few months ago, the company started allowing anyone to create a filter, and now, it's become even easier with ready-made templates anyone can use.
Snapchat first introduced its on-demand geofilter in February, allowing all users - not just the selected few whose art submissions get approved - to design their own geofilters for a specific time frame and location. This feature is ideal for weddings, events, birthday parties, and businesses, which were not eligible to submit geofilters previously.
If your design submission meets Snapchat's guidelines, you can upload it online and select the time and "geofence" (either the venue or location radius you'd like covered) it can be accessible for. It will then get reviewed for approval within one business day. The fee for customizing a geofilter starts at $5 and varies depending on the duration (max is 30 days) and location range (from 20,000 to 5 million square feet), according to Business Insider.
Beginning Aug. 30, Snapchat now has templates ready for you to tinker with online. You can choose from the following ones: birthdays, celebrations, and weddings. You'll then see six different filters that you can customize with color and other text. So basically, if you're ever celebrating something, you have zero excuses not to create a filter. You can see what the birthday option looks like below.
While many have yet to utilize the app to its full potential, we can see how this personalization can get everyone involved. Check out the video ahead to get an idea of how this feature works. It might just be what your next party needs.
