20 Times We Knew Blue Ivy Looked Chic Without Even Seeing Her Whole Outfit
We can't say we blame Beyoncé for sharing more photos of herself than her daughter. After all, Blue Ivy has plenty of time to grow into her own style star, but we already foresee very chic, Tumblr-worthy outfits in her future. That's because even if we've only gotten glimpses of her looks, we know Blue's fashion is on-point, just like her mama's.
So, while we can't tell if she's wearing combat boots or flats with her tulle skirt, and maybe we've got to take a wild guess when it comes to the brand of her leather jacket, it doesn't even matter. Behold, all the times Blue induced major outfit envy without even trying.
10 Movies to Watch If You're Obsessed With La La Land
One of the biggest breakout hits of the year, La La Land has received critical acclaim and been nominated for over 100 awards from different organizations, including two SAG award nominations and a whopping seven Golden Globe noms, including best actor, best actress, best screenplay, and best director. At this rate, it will undoubtedly dominate the Oscars as well.
In their third feature as costars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling star in the romantic musical as Mia Dolan and Sebastian Wilder, two ambitious Los Angelenos whose lives intertwine as they each work to follow their dreams. Mia is an aspiring actress who rushes to audition after audition, only to be brushed off by executives. Sebastian is a talented pianist who struggles to keep the Jazz Age alive. Together, their love inspires them to not give up and to do whatever it takes to make it in the City of Dreams. Not that you can ever have too much Ryan Gosling (or Emma Stone, for that matter), but when you're ready to watch something new, check out some of the following films to get your fill of love, Los Angeles, and superb song and dance numbers!
Why Kate Middleton and Prince William Broke Up Before Getting Married

If you and your significant other have a history of breaking up and making up, you're not alone: there have been a handful of celebrity couples who suffered a split before ultimately getting married, and one of them has royal ties. Yes, Kate Middleton and Prince William called off their relationship before their lavish wedding in April 2011. In 2007, four years after they began dating and four years before tying the knot, the royal couple hit a rough patch and decided to part ways. Clarence House declined to comment about the relationship's end at the time, saying, "We don't comment on Prince William's private life."
"We were both very young . . . we were both finding ourselves and being different characters."So why did they split? In late 2006, Kate's family invited William to celebrate New Year's Eve with them. The Middletons booked a house in the snowy Scotland countryside. William had agreed to come, but later changed his mind - which did not sit well with Kate. Spending the holidays in Sandringham with the queen is a strict royal tradition, and Kate was not technically allowed to join in his family festivities unless she and William were married. After the new year, William's military commitments - he was to be stationed with the Household Cavalry at Bovington Barracks in Dorset for three months - kept the couple from seeing each other, and Kate was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the aggressive paparazzi and media attention she was getting as his girlfriend. William was also going out a lot with other guys in the barracks; he was spotted on a number of occasions drinking, dancing, and "being flirty" with women in London, which further angered Kate.
The two secretly reunited at a themed party in June 2010, which was held in William's barracks to celebrate the end of his training. It was during their vacation in Kenya that October that William presented Kate with the same 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire ring worn by his late mother, Princess Diana, and asked her to marry him. "I didn't really plan it that far in advance," William told reporters after the engagement was made public. "I just knew I wanted it to feel comfortable where I did it and I wanted it to mean something, other than just the act of getting engaged."

As we all know, in April 2011, Will and Kate went on to marry in one of the biggest and most newsworthy weddings of our generation. They welcomed their first child, Prince George, in July 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte, who was born in May 2015. In a joint interview after their engagement, William said of their split, "We were both very young . . . we were both finding ourselves and being different characters." He went on: "It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up so it was just a bit of space, and it worked out for the better." See? There's still hope for your own fairy-tale ending.

This Kid-Friendly Version of Instagram's Privacy Policy Reveals Surprising Details Everyone Should Read
Reading through terms and conditions can be confusing, even for adults. This is especially true for kids and teens who agree to privacy policies when downloading apps without fully understanding which rights they are giving up. Jenny Afia, a privacy law expert from the UK, released a kid-friendly version of Instagram's terms of service to highlight some of the scary aspects.
For starters, did you know that Instagram reserves the right to distribute your child's photos worldwide once they are uploaded and grant permission to others to share them as well? If that's not enough, Jenny also translated another frightening policy that grants Instagram the right to share your children's personal information, such as their birthday, phone number, email address, and even private messages with other companies affiliated with the app. Below a few other translations.
Officially you own any original pictures and videos you post, but we are allowed to use them, and we can let others use them as well, anywhere around the world. Other people might pay us to use them and we will not pay you for that.
We can force you to give up your username for any reason.
We can change or end Instagram, or stop you accessing Instagram at any time, for any reason and without letting you know in advance. We can also delete posts and other content randomly, without telling you, for any reason. If we do this, we will not be responsible for paying out any money and you won't have any right to complain.
Hopefully this kid-friendly version helps parents create an open dialogue with their children about the dangers of agreeing to conditions without full knowledge of the potential consequences.

This Is How All Your Favorite Food Stars Do Casseroles
Casseroles are the ultimate comfort foods, and you can make them with just about anything. If you're looking to get out a dinner rut and embrace more cold-weather comfort foods, we've rounded up some of the best and coziest casserole recipes from your favorite food stars, like Sunny Anderson, Alton Brown, and Chrissy Teigen. It's hard to pick a favorite, but we have a feeling Ree Drummond's hash brown casserole is in your very near future.
Sunny Anderson: Cheesy Vegetarian Casserole
You know what makes vegetables taste better? Cheese. Sunny Anderson's cheesy mushroom and broccoli casserole is exactly what you need when you're in the mood for comfort food but still want to eat your veggies. Shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, and rice get a flavorful upgrade with shredded cheddar, garlic, cayenne pepper, and chicken stock.
Giada De Laurentiis: Italian Chicken and Pasta Casserole
Giada's take on a cozy casserole is Italian baked chicken and pastina, or small pasta. When you combine pasta, chicken, mozzarella, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and parmesan in a casserole dish and bake it until bubbly and gooey, you know the results are going to be heavenly.
Alton Brown: Secret-Ingredient Broccoli Casserole
Alton Brown's broccoli casserole has a surprising pantry ingredient you'd never expect: instant ramen, flavor packet and all. Alton uses broken ramen noodles as a crunchy base for the broccoli and mushroom casserole, which is seasoned with a cheesy sauce of cheddar, blue cheese, and a powdery packet from chicken-flavored ramen.
Chrissy Teigen: Upgraded Tuna Casserole
One of many must-try recipes from Cravings, Chrissy Teigen's first cookbook, is her Cheesy Jalapeño Tuna Casserole With Potato Chip Topping (p. 227). She proves that your grandma's tuna noodle casserole is nothing compared to one made with fresh jalapeños, sharp cheddar cheese, and jalapeño-flavored potato chips on top. "This tuna casserole is made with cans, cans, cans, and that's the way I like it, thank you very much," Chrissy wrote in the recipe's intro, proving it's totally OK to turn to canned ingredients sometimes.
Trisha Yearwood: Potato Bacon Casserole
One of Trisha Yearwood's best cooking tips is to add bacon to just about anything. Her potato casserole with bacon is proof that combining plenty of indulgent ingredients - bacon, sour cream, butter, cheese, and mayo - in one dish will lead to mouthwatering results.
Ree Drummond: Hash Brown Casserole
If you haven't tried hash brown casserole, you haven't fully lived. Cheesy, crunchy, and acceptable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, hash brown casserole is a Southern staple that never disappoints. Ree Drummond dresses hers up by adding green chiles, jalapeños, and poblano peppers, but you can customize the spice to your liking and embrace the rest of the bacon and cheese.
Paula Deen: Traditional Corn Casserole
A staple in Southern cuisine, corn casserole is a comforting baked dish made with very few ingredients including cornbread mix. If you're going to try a recipe for the first time, go with Paula Deen's corn casserole, which comes together in an hour from start to finish and feeds a crowd.

Beat Your Food Cravings With These Tips
We've all see-sawed between depriving ourselves and binging on the food we crave, usually because we crave things that we know we should avoid. According to Annemarie Colbin, PhD, founder of the Natural Gourmet Institute and prominent author and lecturer on natural health and holistic medicine, we should listen to some cravings. They are the body's signal to search for nutrients it needs to operate properly. However, we often also crave addictive foods and substances that are nonessential (and often harmful) to our bodies.
People who experience a food addiction indulge in stimulants such as sugar, white flour, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Giving them up can lead to withdrawal symptoms like unpleasant headaches, intense cravings, depression, and anxiety. One bite can instantaneously alleviate these symptoms while propelling the body to pig out. Remember, easily ridding yourself of the symptoms won't reverse the addiction. Colbin says the first four days of a cleanse are the hardest, but the cravings will diminish with patience and time.
Let's take a look at the biggest culprit. We all know that white sugar is detrimental to our heath, but here's why sugar should be hard to swallow. In her book Food and Healing ($16), Colbin explains, "To metabolize refined sugar, the body draws out the missing companion nutrients (needed as catalysts in the digestive process) from other sources." The "other sources" can be additional foods eaten during the meal, or else your body strips the micronutrients from its own tissues. Colbin warns that to digest sugar, "We lose B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, [and] iron . . . from our own reserves." This is obviously a body's last resort, and the body will try to flash a hunger signal first to search for foods with essential nutrients. Instead of bulking up on unnecessary calories to find the right food to satisfy your munchies, Colbin has mapped out an easy-to-use chart.
Refer to Colbin's chart of "Common Cravings and How to Deal With Them" to figure out types of food your body really wants when you are craving food you shouldn't eat.
| To Diminish Cravings For | Have More | Eat Less | Substitute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar (cakes, cookies, pastries, candy, ice cream) | Whole grains, baked yams, squash, apples, dates, cooked fruit | Meat, salt, dairy products | Frozen bananas (for ice cream), desserts sweetened with barley malt, rice syrup, maple syrup |
| Alcohol | Complex carbohydrates, vegetables, corn, leafy bitter greens | Fats, salt, miso, soy sauce, animal protein | Nonalcoholic beer, fruit |
| Coffee | Vegetables, salad | Meat, sugar, flour, grain, salt | Grain coffee |
| Salt | Seaweed, black beans, vegetables | Sweets, fats, alcohol, meat, grain | Natural soy sauce, miso (small amounts), herbs, and spices |
| Milk Products | Leafy greens, whole grains, beans, fish | Sugar, baked goods, fruit, meat | Tofu (small amounts), nut milk |
| Fats and Sweets | Protein: beans, fish, chicken, eggs | Grain, fruit, salad | Try to eliminate from diet |

11 Netflix Hacks to Make Binge-Watching So Much Better
Source: POPSUGAR Photography / THEM TOO
Calling all Netflix fans! Whether you binge-watch or just occasionally browse, your streaming experience is about to get so much better. Sure, sitting back and watching all your favorite shows is easy enough, but you can also sync up and watch with a friend, improve what Netflix suggests, and much more. Read on to see how you can improve the experience and make your next Friday night in an amazing one.
- Clear your history: Are you embarrassed about giving into nostalgia and watching an old episode of Gilmore Girls? You can easily shake that by heading into "Your Account" on the top right corner and clicking on "Viewing Activity." From there, just tap the "X" to clear whatever it is you watched.
- Find a new genre of movies to watch: Stuck on what to watch? You can use the secret Netflix genre codes to find all sorts of categories of movies and shows. Use the URL, http://ift.tt/1Oj1bRU, and then plug in a genre code from the list that What's on Netflix has.
- Use only high-quality playback: Some of us just want to watch in the best resolution possible when we're at home and it's super easy to set that up. Head to your account again, tap on "Playback Settings", and set your preference to high.
- Save your data plan: Watching Netflix on the go has its perks, except when it comes to your data plan. In order to use the least amount of data possible, head back to "Playback Settings" and set it to low.
- Change the size (and color!) of your closed-captioning: You'll find this setting in your account, under "Subtitle Appearance". Click on that and you can change the size, font, shadow, and color of the text.
- Kick your ex off your account: It's no secret that we all share passwords for streaming services, but sometimes those relationships end and it's time to get back what you pay for. To kick someone off your account, head to "Settings", tap on "Sign out of all devices", and boom - now that person can't get back into your account!
- Memorize all the keyboard shortcuts: There are several, but the most useful ones are hitting "F" for full screen, "M" to mute, "Enter" to play and pause, and using the up and down keys to adjust the volume. For more advanced users, hitting shift and the left arrow will rewind a show, and holding shift and the right arrow will fast forward.
- Get a slew of extra information about shows and movies: With the NEnhancer, a Google Chrome extension, you can see IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings, trailers, and plenty more that will help you pick out a great movie or show. If you don't want to download the extension, Rotten Tomatoes has a section devoted to what you can watch on Netflix (and other streaming services).
- Watch with your friends: Thanks to a handy Google Chrome extension, Showgoers, you can sync up and watch something with your friend at the same time. Both of you just need to install the extension and pick a film or series, and it should sync flawlessly.
- Pick something to watch without trying: It's always hard to choose a single movie or show, but two websites exist to solve that. Flix Roulette lets you set a preference and it will choose a movie for you. A Good Movie to Watch has movies you might not have heard of to watch on Netflix.

Every Win and Nomination La La Land Has Scored So Far
The Golden Globe Awards are coming in hot this weekend, which means award season is set to begin in earnest. With so many ceremonies still on the horizon, it's hard to tell which film, if any, will sweep up a majority of the awards. That said, a close look at the surprisingly early Critics' Choice Awards, the Golden Globe nominees, and the SAG Award nominations is enough to give us a pretty good idea. Among all the stellar films in the running, La La Land has a clear edge with 21 nods. The Critics' Choice winners' list already yielded eight wins for the musical, and with more on the horizon, things are only looking up. Let's break down every nomination and win so far.

What Has Mahershala Ali Been In? 5 Reasons You Know the Moonlight Star
Mahershala Ali's star is on the rise! You may have recognized his face before, but 2017 is the year the world finally learns how to pronounce his name: Ma-HERshala. The actor earned a Critics' Choice Award for his supporting role in Moonlight, and he's on the list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards and the SAG Awards, and you can bet on an Oscar nod, as well. While this is his breakout award season (he's also in Hidden Figures ), Ali has been acting since 2001, when he appeared as Dr. Trey Sanders on Crossing Jordan. Since then, he popped up on dozens of TV shows before making it to the big screen in movies like Predators and The Place Beyond the Pines. While his credits are too long to list here, these are the five places you're most likely to have seen Ali.
This Fan-Made Adidas Commercial Is Going Viral For All the Right Reasons
German student Eugen Merher decided to pay tribute to an 80-year-old relative who passed away last year by capturing his "young at heart" spirit. In the mock Adidas commercial, an elderly man, who is also a former marathon runner, is shown staring out the window of a retirement home when he spots a young runner passing by. The man becomes inspired by the encounter and decides to break free from the retirement home to have "one last" run outside in his old, worn Adidas sneakers.
Merher says the theme for the commercial came from the lessons learned from his deceased relative. "He was really young at heart," Merher said in a recent interview with Scary Mommy. "He inspired me to have a man that breaks free from inner restrictions, dementia, and from a retirement home - and run one last time."
Merher also revealed the now-viral commercial, which has over three million views at press time, was rejected by Adidas. Watch the motivational commercial above to see why it has almost everyone on the internet in tears.

19 Stunning Photos of Ballerinas in the Streets of Egypt
There's no denying that photos of ballerinas juxtaposed with bustling city backdrops are breathtaking. But what about when those photos have a deeper, more inspiring meaning connected to real-world social issues? That's exactly what photographer Mohamed Taher seeks to capture with his Ballerinas of Cairo project, which features stunning snapshots of dancers contrasted with the rough streets of the Egyptian capital. What started as an aesthetically pleasing photography project inspired by New York's Ballerina Project has blossomed into a movement empowering Egyptian women to reclaim the streets, a public space in which they typically feel neither safe nor free to express themselves due to alarming numbers of sexual harassment experienced by women there.
"There's a huge problem for women in Egypt streets," Taher told Upworthy. "There's a lot of sexual harassment . . . so now this was a layer of the project."
Taher created an Instagram account to share his photos with the world, often including touching stories from the talented dancers in the captions. Keep reading for our favorite shots in which the ballerinas demonstrate graceful flexibility and inspiring courage.

This Is Us Wondering Why the Hell Sterling K. Brown Wasn't at the AFI Awards With His Costars
The cast of This Is Us stepped out in style for the AFI Awards luncheon in LA on Friday, but one very important person was missing in action: Sterling K. Brown. The actor - who made headlines this week when it was announced that he'd be joining the cast of the much-anticipated Black Panther movie - was nowhere to be seen, though his onscreen parents Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, sister Chrissy Metz, and wife Susan Kelechi Watson held down the fort and posed together for photos both on the red carpet and inside the event.
The ceremony, which recognizes 10 outstanding films and 10 outstanding television shows from the year, also brought out Hollywood stars like Michelle Williams, Denzel Washington, and Emma Stone, who stuck close to her La La Land costar and avoided an awkward run-in with her ex-boyfriend Andrew Garfield. All we know is this: we better see you with everyone else at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Mr. K. Brown!
Warning: This Simple Picture of Sliced Ham Will Make You Dizzy
One Reddit user recently opened a package of sliced ham that looked a little strange . . . and no, the ham wasn't just bad. Instead, the ham appeared blurry and out of focus. After sharing it on Reddit, he came to realize that the internet strongly agreed.
The user shared a picture of the eyesight-deceiving ham in a post on Jan. 5, shown below, with a caption that read, "This sliced ham looks like it's out of focus." Other users quickly answered, confused by the very same package. One person commented, "It's hurting my eyes."
This sliced ham looks like it's out of focus. from mildlyinteresting
It's clear that the ham just looks blurry because there are multiple slices of ham stacked on each other in a slightly staggered manner - however, looking at it is enough to make us squint our eyes in an attempt to bring it into focus.

These Christian Louboutin Nail Polishes Prove The Unicorn Trend Is Far From Over
In case there aren't already enough ways to translate your love for all things unicorn and metallic into your beauty routine, a re-imagined version of the world's most show-stopping nail polishes were just released - and they're magical. Appropriately named Loubichrome, Christian Louboutin's limited-edition, unicorn-esque mini nail polishes are here to make beauty junkies everywhere lose their minds once again.
In 2014 the iconic, red-soled footwear designer ventured into the beauty space with a line of nail polish as lust-worthy as their shoes. Since then, the brand has rolled out new colors, but none quite as intriguing as these.
The mini-sized polish comes in three colors: Loubichrome I (a yellow gold), Loubichrome II (a blush-toned red), and Loubichrome III (a violet magenta). These polishes will give your nails that ultra-trendy metallic finish, which was inspired by specchio - a mirror-like leather frequently used in the design of the shoes. At $30 each, these beauties are slightly more economical than the $50 full-sized bottles and come in rainbow-chrome packaging that's even more Instagram-worthy than usual.
The only setback: you might have to wait! The polishes appear to be sold out online right now, but we've reached out to the brand and will report back if (and when) they'll be available again. Read on to see all three colors, and prepare to be mesmerized.
Fifth Harmony Just Confirmed They Are Releasing a Third Album Without Camila Cabello
Harmonizers, take a deep breath and get ready for the best 2017, because Fifth Harmony has confirmed there will be a third album without Camila Cabello.
Though the group had already been hinting at brand-new material and had reinforced their fans they were committed to staying together as a quartet after Camila announced her departure from the group in mid December, Billboard is now reporting that new music from Aly, Normani, Dinah, and Lauren will be here before the end of the year.
According to sources cited by Billboard, the four remaining members of 5H renegotiated their original contract with their record label, which now allows them to have more control over their sound. And you know what that means? Even more amazing hits for us to have on repeat! Get excited by listening to a preview of what the group sounds sans Camila on "That's My Girl."
What Is The Young Pope About? Because It Sounds Ridiculous
The Young Pope has quickly become one of the most talked-about new shows of 2017, but perhaps not in the way HBO was hoping. Starring Jude Law and Diane Keaton, the series has taken on a life of its own on Twitter. Memes have sprung up in its "honor," people are rewriting song lyrics to be about the "cool pope," and the world is generally wondering if the show is going to be good or completely ridiculous. (It can't be in between - it's either insane or it's not.) Before you watch the show, let's delve into what it's actually about, beginning with HBO's description:
Young and charming, Lenny Belardo, aka Pius XIII, is the first American Pope in history. His election seems to be the result of a simple yet effective media strategy on the part of the College of Cardinals. But appearances can be deceiving - above all, in the Vatican, where the leaders of the Church have chosen the great mystery of God as the compass guiding their existence. And Pius XIII proves to be the most mysterious and contradictory of them all.
Nothing to see here, folks! The church is just looking for a fresh face to appeal to the younger, less-faith-focused generation, so they're electing a young pope . . . a sexy young pope. Having notorious (British) bad boy Jude Law play the American pope is a bold choice, and the casting confirms that this pope is not your grandma's Pope John Paul II. HBO is practically writing its own memes in its press release: "Shrewd and naïve, ironic and pedantic, primeval and cutting-edge, doubting and resolute, melancholy and ruthless, Pius XIII tries to cross the endless river of human solitude to find a God he can give to mankind. And to himself."
And to himself.
The trailer was released in December, and even the quote used to market it - "The young are always more extreme than the old" - is hilarious.
This pope doesn't have anything to confess! He doesn't care about your opinions! He smokes and hangs out shirtless! This pope disrespects Diane Keaton! Oscar winner Diane Keaton! It's like this pope never even saw Annie Hall. OK, Keaton is playing a powerful nun named Sister Mary who is the only person who stands up to Pope Pius XIII, but she's got some gravitas that he doesn't give one sh*t about.
As you can see, this show already looks amusing, but perhaps it's just that we're not getting the full scope? It premieres on Sunday, Jan. 8, so let's watch and regroup before we fully judge.

The 11 Types of Dads We All Know and Love
It's hard to really narrow down everything that dads do for their kids as they all wear so many metaphorical hats, but there are quite a few "typical" types of dads. From the "cool" dad to the one who coaches his kids in every way throughout their lives, these are the 11 types of dads you're likely to meet around town.
The Latest Show From DC Comics Is Actually a Straight-Up Comedy
Chances are you're feeling a bit burnt out on all the superhero movies and TV shows. In the DC Comics universe alone, there's The Flash and Arrow on The CW, plus Jason Momoa's Aquaman, the badassery of Wonder Woman, and their induction into the Justice League on the big screen. If you're exhausted, NBC's Powerless might be exactly what you need. While it is technically a show set in the DC Comics universe, the new comedy focuses on something that's hardly ever addressed in these heroically inclined worlds: the civilians. Let's jump in and dish on what you should expect.
18 New Midseason TV Shows to Have on Your Radar in 2017
14 of the Most Highly Anticipated TV Shows of 2017
1. The Premise
The series hones in the the normal lives of the commoners who inhabit the dangerous world of superheros. At the center of the narrative is Research and Development at Wayne Security, owned of course by Wayne Enterprises. Their mission? To protect bystanders during epic, destructive superhero battles. The catch is their products aren't exactly fail-safe.
2. The Cast
Vanessa Hudgens stars as Emily, the newest employee of the company. Hudgens is flanked by Alan Tudyk (who plays her boss), and Danny Pudi, Ron Funches, and Christina Kirk (her coworkers).
3. The Superhero Surprises
In an interview at Comic Con in 2016, the cast hinted as some of the heroes we can expect to see. DC's Crimson Fox and Jack O'Lantern battle it out in the first scene of the pilot, and with Wayne Enterprises looming above all the goings-on, it's safe to imagine Batman might show up as well.
4. The First Teaser
In early January, NBC dropped the first 30-second teaser for the series.

Tinashe's Entire New Music Video Is Fire, but the End Is the Real Killer
Um, hello? 911? We've been wrecked by Tinashe. The pop artist, who also recently killed it in Britney Spears's "Slumber Party" video, released a music video for her new song "Company," and it's got everything. We're talking shirtless men, awe-inducing dance moves, and some truly sizzling beats. No offense, but all this sexiness is about to make you forget all about Ed Sheeran's two new singles, which also dropped on Friday. Oh, and just wait until it gets to the end, when T turns it out all by her damn self. We're having major Janet Jackson flashbacks and we're not even mad about it.
