Prepare Yourself, Earthling: This Rare GIF of a "Ring of Fire" Eclipse Is a MUST See
Get ready for your jaw to drop. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured an incredible sight on Sept. 1: a double eclipse.
The rare event, called a "ring of fire" or annular eclipse, occurs when both the Earth and the moon travel "across the face of the sun." In the video below, you'll see that Earth's shadow is more fuzzy and the moon's is more clear.
Unlike a solar eclipse, the annular eclipse only happens when "the moon is at a point in its orbit farther from Earth than average." Because of this, the moon ends up looking smaller, leaving the sun exposed and creating a "ring of fire" look. You can take a closer look at the phenomenon below.
Thank you, NASA, for once again capturing an incredible sight for all us tiny earthlings to enjoy.
Kylie Jenner Stole Her Sister's Old Fashion Week Wardrobe
It's not just Kylie Jenner's platinum hairstyle that reminds us of Kim Kardashian at Paris Fashion Week circa 2015. Kylie might have bleached her long bob, but she's also rocking similar outfits to those we've seen on Kim. That's not too much of a surprise. After all, the two routinely choose body-hugging silhouettes, sheer details, and crop tops.
Even so, we almost couldn't distinguish between the sister duo when we saw Kylie in this Balmain mini and lucite heels. Read on to see how Kylie's inspired by Kim's old Fashion Week wardrobe, and pray Kim doesn't go back to blond this month - then we'd really have a twinning problem on our hands.

20 Style Lessons I Learned From My 92-Year-Old Neighbor
Every so often, my mom will call me over to the kitchen window in our second-story apartment. "Quick," she'll yell in a slightly hushed way, as if someone else might hear her. "You need to see what Mary's wearing!"
Mary is our neighbor who lives across the street, and while she may be 92, she's quite possibly one of the most stylish people I know. Whenever I see her, she's usually dressed in bright tailored slacks, a patterned blazer, standout accessories, and - my personal favorite - kitten heels. And that's just what she wears to garden.
So when the topic of interviewing an older, wiser woman for fashion advice came up in a meeting, I knew just who to call.
I entered Mary's apartment bright and early on a Sunday morning - the only free slot in her busy schedule - and immediately knew she had tons to share. Outfits for the week hung on a door, and every closet was packed to the max with clothes. With my phone set to record, we began. Read on for all the helpful style tips Mary had to share, as I hope to end up exactly like her.

5 Harry Potter Secrets You Definitely Didn't Know . . . Until Now
Though she may seem like a muggle, J.K. Rowling is definitely magical. A former waitress without any formal training in creative writing, the author of the Harry Potter series created a world where anything (except maybe Snape investing in decent shampoo) is possible.
There is a book that will excite fans worldwide: an in-depth bibliography about the author's literary journey. JK Rowling: A Bibliography 1997-2013 by Philip Errington is so detailed that Rowling described it as "slavishly thorough and somewhat mind-boggling." Basically, you should be happier than Hagrid in an exotic pet store at this news.
The bibliography, which follows Rowling throughout the process of penning each entire Harry Potter book, is a veritable Diagon Alley of previously unknown facts about the series. If you don't have time to read it to find out all of secrets, don't worry - you can check out this list for a few that even Hermione wouldn't know.

Kourtney Kardashian Uses Her Swimsuit to Give Sister Khloé a Funny Shout-Out
Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner are currently closing out their Summer with a stunning European vacation, and their latest stop in Antibes, France, might be their most adventurous yet. Kourtney, who brought along her adorable kids for the fun getaway, showed off her amazing body on Instagram last week when the family was in Italy, but her more recent swimsuit is definitely the standout. While soaking up the sun on a luxurious yacht on Wednesday, she rocked a black one-piece that read "Khlo $$$$$," an obvious reference to her sister Khloé's nickname. In addition to showing her sibling some love from halfway across the world, Kourtney also showed off her wild side when she had fun on the yacht's water slide. While she flew into the water pretty seamlessly, mom Kris had a bit more trouble. But, as they've proven time and time again, no situation can ever really keep them down, and they seemed to shake it off like pros.

Solange Knowles Explains Why Black People Unsafe in "White Spaces" After Being Attacked at a Concert
Solange Knowles is standing up to her haters. On Friday, Beyoncé's younger sister took to Twitter to tell her fans about a horrible encounter she had at a Kraftwerk concert with husband Alan Ferguson and son Daniel Julez Smith Jr. in New Orleans. In a series of tweets, Solange explained that she and her son were enjoying the electronic dance show when four white women yelled, "Sit down now! You need to sit down now!" After refusing to acknowledge them, they proceeded to throw something at her, which her son later confirmed was a lime.
She then went on to explain why black people don't feel safe in "many white spaces," writing, "But in this moment, I'm just going to share my experience . . . So that maybe someone will understand, why many of us don't feel safe . . . in many white spaces . . . We don't "bring the drama" . . . Fix yourself." She ended her account by sharing screenshots of the racist responses she received on Twitter, and writing, "And last thing . . . I see folks saying 'Well u live in Louisiana' . . . but I say I live in a city w THE most incredible, beautiful black. folk." Perfectly said, Solange.
Let me tell you about why black girls / women are so angry....

Lethal Weapon: The Lowdown on Fall TV's Buzziest Reboot
You may be sick of TV networks rebooting old movies, but another fresh revival is coming your way! Fox is premiering its take on the Lethal Weapon franchise this Fall, and well, we have opinions. But first, we've scraped together everything you need to know about the series. For starters, if you're deeply devoted to 1987's Lethal Weapon and its sequels, you might just want to skip this show altogether.
The Cast
Clayne Crawford (Rectify) is playing Martin Riggs and Damon Wayans is playing Roger Murtaugh, the roles Mel Gibson and Danny Glover originated. On supporting duty is Jordana Brewster, Johnathan Fernandez, and Chandler Kinney.
The Plot
Having recently lost his pregnant wife, Riggs is nearly suicidal - but he's one hell of a cop. The ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective is paired with Murtaugh, a family man who doesn't agree with Riggs's dangerous (but effective) tactics in the field.
The Trailer
Our Review
The fact that this made our shortlist of the worst new Fall shows should tell you something. This premise has been played out in so many different iterations, and this series offers nothing new to the buddy-cop genre. If the leads develop more onscreen chemistry, it might have a shot.
The Premiere Date
The series premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
The Must-See Movie That Had Everyone Sobbing at the Toronto Film Festival
It doesn't take a lot for a movie make people cry, but when a PG-13 fantasy film about a boy and a tree monster turns a theater of film critics into sniffling, weeping, messes - well, that's saying something. A Monster Calls premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, treating audiences to an early peek at one of the most beautifully heartbreaking films of the year.
The film was written by Patrick Ness, who also penned the novel of the same name, and directed by J.A. Bayona, who is best known for The Impossible. Newcomer Lewis MacDougall leads the film as Conor, a 12-year-old boy who is dealing with more than his fair share of issues both at home, where his mother (Felicity Jones) is dying of cancer, and at school, where he is being constantly bullied for being different. One night Conor is visited by a monster (voiced by Liam Neeson) who informs Conor that he has three stories to share before Conor will have to reveal his own truth to the monster.
The film has shades of many other beloved films; Conor's unlikely friendship with the monster is reminiscent of The Iron Giant; the way we see the monster's stories reminded me of the storytelling devices used in A Little Princess; the monster himself looks a lot like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy; and the list could go on. But A Monster Calls is far from being a retread of films that have come before it. It has an edge and a realness that prevents it from going into an overly sappy territory while also perfectly blending in the perfect amount of whimsy and imagination.
The monster's tales slowly unfold as Conor's mother's illness progresses, and the themes are equally present in both parts of the story. Conor learns that most people can't be categorized as heroes or villains, but have shades of both (like Conor's estranged father, who shows up to take Conor to an amusement park but can't be the dad Conor truly wants). He learns not to underestimate the healing powers of belief and hope. But the theme that had everyone wiping tears from their eyes is the universal message that life isn't always fair, that grieving is a part of life that nobody can escape from, and that, as Conor's dad tells, him, most people end up "messily ever after."
The movie will be released in theaters in December, and while it's not exactly uplifting holiday fare, it's the perfect movie to share with your family, (and an important one for older kids to see) - as long as you're not afraid to weep in front of them.
Here's the Mind-Blowing Twist in Arrival, Amy Adams's Alien Saga
Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner are starring in what might be the Toronto International Film Festival's biggest alien movie: Arrival. If you're thinking that in 2016, your alien movie needs a clear angle, it does: Adams is a language expert and it's up to her to try to communicate with aliens who have landed one of 12 spacecraft on Earth. While that admittedly isn't the most exciting thing, the movie has more than an angle: it has a huge twist. Now, this being a film festival screening two months before the movie's release on Nov. 11, you may not want to be spoiled. If that's the case, click away now. But if you're curious about just what this mind-blowing twist is and want to spoil it for yourself, keep reading.
One last time: WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD. Do not proceed further if you don't want to know what happens in the final act of Arrival.
So: Adams's linguist character Dr. Louise Banks is recruited by the US government for her translation skills. Before the landing, we see Louise's life in an emotional sequence: from the birth of her daughter, Hannah, bits of her childhood, and to Hannah's terminal cancer and death. It appears that Hannah's death has left Louise more alone than ever, as she's now childless and single (it's implied she'd been married but we don't see her husband in the flashback). Then, the "arrival" happens.
Twelve alien craft have landed on the planet, one of them in Montana, and there are two aliens with which the US is trying to communicate, but you know; they're aliens, and they just make strange noises. Louise's language expertise allows her to have a communication breakthrough, discovering that the "heptapods," as they come to be known, emit a smoke that makes symbols, effectively giving them written communication. Once Louise starts to decipher the symbols, the impatient world is ready to just destroy the ships out of fear, but she and Renner's mathematician character Ian are encouraged by their progress. Before that happens, Louise takes a risk and enters the ship alone, sucked up into the anti-gravity atmosphere. In the dreamy scene, one of the aliens communicates to Louise that they are giving her, and Earth, a gift. When she asks why, the answer is that in 3,000 years, their kind will need humanity's help. She wonders how they can see "the future," 3,000 years away.
The Twist
And now, here's the earth-shattering twist: the aliens don't see in the future, they just see time as being non-linear, which is the gift they give Louise. Or rather, have already given Louise; throughout her mission, she'd been having flashbacks of her time with her daughter, Hannah, but while she is having a vision of her in conversation with the alien, she asks, "who is this child?" It's then that you realize that during the present-day action of the movie, Louise has never had a child. Has never lost one. Has never been married. Yet. The sequence at the beginning of the film happens after her mission, but now she can see into her "future." Or rather, she sees her whole life, on a non-linear timeline. Renner's character Ian, who she works alongside in the mission, is the man she falls in love with later, marries, and shares Hannah with. The identity of the father is hidden until the last act, to throw you off the scent of the non-linear storytelling.
Thus, this "alien" story really becomes one of the life choices a person would make if they could see how their life turned out - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

You Can Now Rent an Instagram Husband For All Your Fashion Week Needs

Nocturnal Animals Has the Movie Nudity Everyone's Going to Be Talking About This Fall
Tom Ford's latest film, Nocturnal Animals, is making a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, for a variety of reasons. The noirish thriller stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams as exes with a complicated past, and the story finds them living separate lives in the present day. There are layers to dissect with this dark film, but there's one element that's guaranteed to have audiences buzzing from now through its Fall release: the nudity-packed opening sequence. (No, it's not Jake Gyllenhaal, and we are genuinely sorry about that.)
The movie opens with several different zaftig, older women totally naked - except for sashes and tiaras - dancing and jumping around provocatively. The sequence is confounding mostly for its place; as it's the very beginning, there's absolutely no context to define the burlesque show. Several minutes in, you finally see why: Adams's character is an art gallery owner, and this is an exhibit. Oh, everyone in the theater seemed to sigh, as its arty properties were revealed.
Still, designer-turned-director Ford admits he wasn't just going for an art-world atmosphere. At the film's debut at the Venice Film festival, Ford admitted that he was intending to be provocative with the opening, wanting to "emphasize the absurdity of our contemporary world . . . I also wanted to grab your attention." That he did. You can see the eye-opening scene for yourself when Nocturnal Animals is released on Nov. 18.
Stars Unite to Fight Against Cancer
A slew of stars showed off their philanthropic sides when they attended the Stand Up to Cancer event in LA on Friday night. The annual telethon brought out Shannen Doherty and her husband, film producer Kurt Iswarienko and longtime couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who recently returned from NYFW. Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, and Mel B were all in attendance as well, and Celine Dion paid tribute to her late husband, René Angélil, who passed away from throat cancer in January, by wearing a t-shirt with the words "MY LOVED ONES #Reasons2StandUp" written across it and giving a beautiful performance of her new song "Recovering."
Harry Potter Tattoos That Would Make J.K. Rowling Proud
It's not usually a great idea to get a tattoo for your significant other. After all, what happens if they break your heart (or worse, get you expelled?). But a good book series?

Our series of choice is Harry Potter - whether you want a tiny symbol for ink or a massive sleeve, let these creative tattoos inspire your own ideas. And while you're at it, check out these great stories behind other Harry Potter tattoos.

Brad Pitt on Trump Supporters: "I Try to Understand Where They're Coming From"
We already knew that Brad Pitt was Benjamin Button-ing his way through life, but the 52-year-old is actually looking younger than ever in T Magazine. Brad landed a cover story in the Fall Men's Fashion issue, and in his accompanying interview, the Allied star shared his thoughts on the recent Brexit decision as well as controversial presidential nominee Donald Trump. "Man, I never thought that would happen," Brad said of the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union, adding, "Same way I can't bring myself to think that Trump will be in charge."
Brad, who was born and raised in the Midwest, continued, "Coming from Oklahoma, southern Missouri, which leans more toward a Trump voice, I try to understand it. It seems that the people who suffer the most end up betting for the party that would hurt them . . . and so I try to understand where they're coming from." He talked about a conversation that he had recently with a scholar from Washington DC think tank the Brookings Institution, saying, "Most Americans don't have time to watch CNN and Fox and Al Jazeera. They're trying to make the rent, get the kids fed, they're tired when they get home and they want to forget about everything. And so suddenly when this voice comes in - and it doesn't have to be a voice of substance - saying he's fed up with all of this, that's the part that hooks into the DNA."
The father of six mused that "a lot of people feel alone," adding, "What I'm most hopeful about is that we're a global neighborhood now, and we start to understand each other more and more . . . and yet, you see this reactionary push for isolation and separation again." He went on: "A Trump supporter is fighting against just about everything. What does he even mean, 'take our country back?' Would someone please explain that to me? Where'd it go?"
Just Like That, the Kardashian-Jenner Sisters Completely Take Over NYFW
The Kardashian-Jenner ladies showed up in full force for Harper's Bazaar Icons bash at The Plaza Hotel in NYC on Friday night. Kylie arrived with boyfriend Tyga wrapped around her, but shared a cute sisterly moment with Kendall once inside. Kourtney drew stares in a sexy, high-slit dress, while Kim and Kanye West struck their signature red carpet pose for the cameras.

Baby and French Bulldog Are the Sweetest Pair of Friends We've Ever Seen
When photographer mom Ivette Ivens found a French Bulldog with the same birthdate as her baby boy Dilan, she knew he was meant to be a part of their family. Ever since she adopted Farley the pup, he and Dilan have been inseparable. Ivens told the Daily Mail, "I'm pretty sure Dilan thinks they're both the same species, as they walk at the same level and are both going through the stage of chewing on everything."
She has been documenting their lives together since bringing Farley home and posting photos on her Facebook and Instagram pages. Scroll through to see just a few photos here, and then check out what Dilan and Farley have in store for the future - growing up together while Ivette photographs it all, just like another mom did with her son and his pets.
Attention Vegans! Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Are No Longer Dairy-Free!
I'm in shock. I feel completely betrayed. By a chocolate chip, of all things. It's a sad, sad day for those of us avoiding dairy because I just found out that Ghirardelli changed their recipe, and it's now made with whole milk powder. Horrifying, I know. I totally feel your pain. And now I find myself having to apologize to you, because for years, I've recommended Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for my dairy-free and vegan recipes. So much sadness.
If you have packages in your kitchen, they might still be good. But if you go to buy new ones, you'll see the new ingredient list and start sobbing. But before you melt into a puddle of chocolate-covered depression, there are tons of companies that do offer dairy-free alternatives. Try one of these:
- Enjoy Life Mega Chunks, Mini Chips, and Dark Chocolate Morsels
- Trader Joe's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Costo Kirkland Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Baking Chips, Akoma Extra Semisweet Chocolate Baking Chips, Extra Dark Chocolate Baking Chips, and Super Cookie Chips
Not only am I in mourning over the loss of these chocolate chips, but now I'm questioning all the food I eat. What other companies have changed their recipes to include dairy?! We spend a lot of time label reading, double-checking to make sure the foods we buy are healthy and safe for us to eat. Once we know a product gets the green light, we wouldn't feel the need to check it again. But with this recent finding, I guess it's a reminder that no product is 100 percent safe forever. The next time you hit the store, you might want to take a peek at some of your tried-and-true faves before throwing them in your cart.
On a happier note, I just found out that all of Kashi's frozen waffles, crackers, and pita chips are now vegan!

Whoa - We've Just Found Jon Snow's Doppelganger
We've seen plenty of convincing cosplays over the years, but some people are simply destined to portray their favorite characters. Russian cosplayers Olya Bondarenko and Mikhail Selgis are two examples of this phenomenon. The pair, who frequently cosplay as Game of Thrones characters Melisandre and Jon Snow, bear uncanny resemblances to their character counterparts that'll make you do a double-take.
Olya also convincingly cosplays as Daenerys, Ygritte, and Margaery, and Mikhail sometimes dons red hair as a gender-bent Ygritte to complement Olya's female Jon Snow. They attend fan events together, stage photo shoots in faux-Westerosi locations, and generally blow our minds with their spot-on appearances. The St. Petersburg cosplayers also post their costumes on Instagram, where they first grabbed our attention. Lucky for us, they've got plenty of photographic evidence of these glorious cosplays for us to enjoy - trust us, you won't understand how eerily similar they look to their GoT counterparts until you see it.

Taylor Swift Sings Along to Calvin Harris's Song While Cheering on Gigi Hadid at NYFW
Taylor Swift stepped out with model Martha Hunt for Tommy Hilfiger's fashion show at Pier 16 in NYC on Friday. The duo was front and center to cheer on their pal, Gigi Hadid, as she strutted her stuff on the runway and modeled her own collection with the designer. In addition to making her first public appearance since her split from Tom Hiddleston and posing for pictures with Gigi's mom, Yolanda Hadid, Lewis Hamilton, and Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, Taylor took to Instagram to congratulate Gigi on the success of her show, writing, "SO PROUD OF YOU GIGI!!!! That show was INSANE. Congrats to Gi, Tommy, and all the girls who just owned that runway!!" Along with the sweet note, the "Bad Blood" singer shared a video of herself singing along to ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris's "This Is What You Came For."
In July, it was revealed that the track was secretly written by Taylor under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg when she was dating Calvin, and despite the DJ not thanking her at the VMAs during his pretaped acceptance speech, it looks like the bad blood may be over between the former couple.

This Brand Is Changing the Definition of a Pretty Spring Dress, 1 Season at a Time
Self-Portrait dresses were only around for a season or two before reaching must-have status. Now, they're staples in most girls' closets, perfect for a wedding or any type of reception, really. But designer Han Chong is expanding his repertoire like never before. For Spring '17, he unveiled a lineup of floaty ruffles and his signature guipure lace, but these looks did not come without edge.
Dresses were pulled off the shoulders, while trousers, military skirts, and button-finished playsuits added structure. The flashiest details were patent leather: pants and shoes that fit right in with the feminine flow. Read on to see the new and most notable styles the Self-Portrait princess will be trying next season. Then update your calendar, because you can attend far more than a fancy party in these clothes.

10 Ways to Give Your PB&J a Makeover
Welcome to our guide to Back-to-School Success: 31 days of tips, apps, recipes, and more to help you make this your family's best school year yet. We're using today to offer up 10 ways to reinvent that kiddie lunch box classic - peanut butter and jelly!
We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling and her ediTORIal by Tori Spelling blog. This week, Tori shares 10 fun twists on peanut butter and jelly recipes!
Now that school is almost in session, I'm starting to compile my shopping list for school lunches. One of the biggest challenges as a busy momista is finding delicious and easy school lunches that Liam and Stella won't get tired of seeing in their lunch boxes week after week.
Now there's a reason the PB&J sandwich is such a lunch box staple. No two flavors go together quite like peanut butter and jelly. But as yummy as this sweet and salty combo is, plain old bread, peanut butter, and jam can get a little boring after a while. So today I'm sharing a few creative twists on the classic PB&J. Based on what a hit my PB and Cocoa Krispies Sandwich was with my babes, I have a feeling these recipes are going to be new favorites. And if your kiddos' school doesn't allow peanuts because of allergies, almond or sunflower seed butter will taste just as yummy.
Which recipe are you most excited to try?

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.
Taylor Swift's New Favorite Bag Isn't Actually a Bag at All
Taylor Swift's designer bag collection may be pretty impressive, but lately, the singer's been ditching her larger, classic options for something small and simple: a Bandolier phone case.

Plus, the best part about Taylor's mini must-have? It costs less than $100. Take a look at how the star's been styling hers, then shop one for yourself ahead.

The Best Macro-Balanced Snacks For Weight Loss
Nutrition coach and macro expert Carrie McMahon has been showing us how to count macros for weight loss and how that looks in terms of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And today, we're focusing on macro snacks for weight loss!
"For snacks, I recommend sticking to mostly protein and fat combined - fiber is a bonus," Carrie said. "That combo always keeps me feeling satisfied until the next meal, and gives me enough energy to keep going!"
Her favorite snacks are an apple with peanut butter or some kind of jerky (she loves Caveman Foods Primal Bars) and nuts, but she said "that can get pretty boring, pretty quickly." To mix it up, she suggested some of her favorite POPSUGAR recipes.
