With their vibrant colors and lacy frills, dainty, crisp-crusted French macarons are the perfect Valentine's Day baking project. But these lovely little delicacies are temperamental enough to stump even the most accomplished chefs.

How Eva Mendes Inspired 1 of Ryan Gosling's Best Lines in La La Land

Just when we thought we'd scraped the bottom of the bucket when it came to fun La La Land trivia, Ryan Gosling swooped in to blow our minds yet again. Last week, the actor spoke to Entertainment Tonight at the 32nd Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and he revealed that his wife, Eva Mendes, actually inspired one of the film's more memorable lines. "LA worships everything and values nothing," Gosling rehashed. "That was something my lady said to me one day and I thought it was so funny I asked her if I could put it in the movie. She was kidding, but it's a funny thing to say . . . I loved when she said it, because it's funny enough to have some truth to it, you know? But it's obviously a joke, so it just seemed appropriate for the movie." It really is a remarkable line, and along with all the other things La La Land gets right about LA, it's certainly the kind of accurate commentary we'd add to the list. Oh, Hollywood. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

20 Ways Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events Is Different From the Books

Avid readers generally remain steadfast in their belief that the book is always better than the movie or TV show, but this isn't to say that some adaptations can't be good. In fact, the Harry Potter film series and The Lord of the Rings trilogy are excellent. Even Game of Thrones fans seem to acknowledge the HBO series as a worthy adaptation. One of the reasons fans have doubts is because making a book into a movie or television show usually means that things get lost in translation. Favorite characters disappear, the sequence of events is shifted, and the setting is usually changed to a more cost-effective filming location. Fortunately, Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events is a tried-and-true replica of the books . . . except for these changes. Major spoiler warning!

The Bad Beginning (Episodes one and two)

  1. The Baudelaire parents are alive . . . or, so we thought. No bodies are recovered in the fire, so we assume that Mother (Colbie Smulders) and Father (Will Arnett) are the children's parents. They escape their kidnappers, fight off a drunken mob and angry refrigerator repairman, and survive a plane crash, all the while hoping to reunite with their children. Towards the end of episode seven, however, viewers learn that they are actually parents to the Quagmire children, not the orphaned Baudelaires. Despite this meaning that the Baudelaire parents most likely did perish in the fire (which is true to the books), the events surrounding the Quagmire parents are unique to the TV series.
  2. On the show, Mr. Poe introduces Eleanora as his wife. In the books, Eleanora is actually Mr. Poe's sister, and his wife is named Polly.
  3. On the show, Mr. Poe's secretary Jacqueline is a secret VFD member who tries to keep the children safe from Count Olaf's clutches. However, her character doesn't exist at all in the books.
  4. Unlike the books, the meaning of VFD and the secret society are hinted at almost immediately. When Lemony Snicket enters into the remains of the burnt Baudelaire mansion, he says, "Neither the official fire department nor the volunteer fire department arrived in time to stop the blaze." The reference was quick, but it was there.

The Reptile Room (Episodes three and four)

  1. In the TV series, when the Baudelaires arrive at Dr. Montgomery's house, they continue to share a room (though luckily not a bed!), despite each getting their own rooms in the books.
  2. Excluding the final reveal that Stephano is Count Olaf in disguise, the Baudelaire trio doesn't spend a lot of time in the Reptile Room in the TV series. In the books, each child is given a specific job to do. Violet is responsible for inventing new snake traps, Klaus must read up on the species, and Sunny has to bite rope into manageable sizes.
  3. When Uncle Monty receives the coded message at the movie theater, it reads: "Hello Monty. Danger! Take the children on the SS Prospero to Peru." In the books, not only does the Sebald code work differently, the message read: "Attention! Hidden in the snowman is a survivor of the fire. Meet us in the town where this film takes place. Bring the three children. Your new assistant is not one of us. Beware!"
  4. In the TV series, Uncle Monty doesn't plan a trip to Peru until he receives the secret message instructing him to do so. In the books, he had been planning on doing it all along as a fun trip for the family.
  5. In the books, Uncle Monty confronts Stephano and tears up the tickets so that no one will be able to go to Peru. In the series, the tickets remain intact, and when Stephano gets his hands on them, he plans to kidnap the children and take them away. Even though his plan fails, he boards the ship himself, but is confronted by Jacqueline . . . which is another thing missing from the books.
  6. In the TV series, Stephano blames the Incredibly Deadly Viper for Uncle Monty's murder and the Baudelaires use Sunny as bait to prove that the snake isn't dangerous at all. In the books, the children use Sunny's relationship with the Viper as a distraction, while Violet snoops for proof that Stephano is Count Olaf. Furthermore, in the TV series, the Viper slithers free, whereas in the books, he's captured along with the other snakes.

The Wide Window (Episodes five and six)

  1. In both iterations, Aunt Josephine gives all of the Baudelaires gifts when they arrive. However, Klaus receives an electric train in the books, unlike the deck of cards he receives (and later re-gifts to Sunny so that she can play poker) in the series.
  2. In the books, the children accompany Aunt Josephine to the market and are there when she first encounters Count Olaf disguised as Captain Sham. In the series, the children stay behind and Aunt Josephine later surprises them by bringing Captain Sham home.
  3. In the books, Captain Sham calls Aunt Josephine on the phone to make their date. Terrified of being electrocuted, Aunt Josephine refuses to answer the phone so Violet does so instead. Realizing it's Count Olaf on the phone, Violet pretends it's the wrong number and that he's reached the Hopalong Dance School by mistake. Aunt Josephine finds Violet's answering the phone to be very brave, which gives her courage to answer herself when Count Olaf calls back. This entire sequence is missing in the TV series.


  1. In the TV series, a waiter (and secret VFD member) at The Anxious Clown suggests that the children eat peppermints to induce an allergic reaction that will free them of Count Olaf. In the books, eating the peppermints is Violet's idea.
  2. In the books, the gates to the docks are locked and the keys are in the hands of Count Olaf's henchman, who is standing guard. The children concoct a plan and battle the henchman, barely escaping his grasp. This entire sequence is missing from the series, where the children get onto the docks and steal a sailboat with ease.
  3. In the TV series, Count Olaf rescues Aunt Josephine and the Baudelaires from their sinking sailboat by letting them board the ferry. When he threatens to throw Aunt Josephine overboard to the leeches, she finally becomes the fierce and formidable woman she once was and stands her ground to protect the children (but is thrown overboard anyway). In the books, Aunt Josephine is much more spineless. She eagerly lets Count Olaf have the children and even vows to change her appearance, switch identities, and leave town forever if he will spare her. He agrees, but then pushes her overboard when she corrects his grammar.
  4. In the books, after Captain Sham is exposed as Count Olaf, he locks Mr. Poe and the children behind a gate so that he and his henchman can escape. In the series, the children hide in the back of a truck when no one is looking, escaping from both Count Olaf and Mr. Poe.

The Miserable Mill (Episodes seven and eight)

  1. In the books, Dr. Georgina Orwell is killed when she falls into the buzz saw. Potentially too graphic for television, this is adapted so that she burns in a furnace.
  2. In the books, Violet and Sunny sneak into Sir's library to read a book that Dr. Orwell donated and discover that secret words are used to hypnotize and control subjects. In the series, all three Baudelaire children learn this when they sneak into Dr. Orwell's office and overhear her discussing secret words with Count Olaf (disguised as Shirley the secretary). Furthermore, Violet and Sunny sneak into the Mill's library to read up on the history of the town fire, not hypnotism.
  3. At the end of episode eight, Count Olaf and his henchman escape the Mill before Mr. Poe arrives, causing him to disbelieve the children when they tell him of Shirley and Dr. Orwell's evil plan. Even Sir escapes the angry, un-hypnotized mob, and his partner, Charles, leaves the Mill to find him. In the books, Shirley and Foreman Flacutono are locked in the library and the adults (including Sir and Charles, who never flee the Mill) discover the left ankle tattoo, exposing them to be Count Olaf and his henchman in disguise.

The Parents on A Series of Unfortunate Events Are Not Who You Think They Are

Warning: spoilers for the entire season below!

Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events premiered on Friday the 13th (apt, don't you think?) in January, and there's a lot to love. Neil Patrick Harris gives an inspired performance as the show's greasy villain, Count Olaf, and newcomers Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes (who play Violet and Klaus Baudelaire) are a delight. At the end of the first episode, we also get a pleasant surprise in the form of two unexpected guest stars: Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders, who play a mother and a father. Now, it's very easy to assume that these are the Baudelaire parents. Once you get to the end of episode seven, you'll learn that's sadly not the case. Let's recap.

Episode one starts off with the brilliant Baudelaire children being informed that they're orphans now after their mansion burns down, with their doting mother and father - Beatrice and Bertrand - presumably perishing in the blaze. They're sent to live with Count Olaf, a distant relative whose only goal is to get his hands on the Baudelaire family fortune. Not only is he violent, but he forces them to cook and clean for him and his band of cronies and makes the three of them share a dirty, decrepit bedroom. In other words, it's just as unfortunate as the show's title might suggest. At the conclusion of the first episode is a ray of hope for the siblings, however, when it's revealed to the audience that two parents are alive, but in captivity. Oh, and they're "worried about the children." The final scene shows them handcuffed in the back of a van that zooms off into the night.

As the episodes roll on, all signs point to the parents being Bertrand and Beatrice Baudelaire. That is, until we reach episode seven, "The Miserable Mill: Part I." Here, we come to a moment where it seems like the Baudelaire children and their parents will finally reunite . . . but they don't. That's because Arnett and Smulders are not the Baudelaire parents at all. They're actually the parents of the Quagmire triplets. Without giving too much away, the Quagmires are another set of unfortunate children in Lemony Snicket's world. They also lose their parents in a horrible fire and first enter in book five, The Austere Academy. The Baudelaires meet Isadora and Duncan there; Quigley, the third triplet, is thought to have perished in the fire with his parents until a later book.

While an appearance by the Baudelaire parents would be a huge departure from Lemony Snicket's novels, this is still a pretty big addition. It's not exactly a change, per se; after all, the Quagmire parents still seem to be dead by the end of the season. Rather, the real change is that we never actually meet the Quagmire parents in the books at all. That means, if anything, the series has successfully enriched a bit of backstory we never got. The tragic part of this twist, though, is that the Baudelaire parents really do seem to be dead after all.

If you look to the books, it's never technically made clear whether both Baudelaires did, indeed, perish in the fire on that dreary day. One of them is rumored to have survived. Convincing theories seem to point to their mother, Beatrice, but note that she likely died soon afterward, sometime between books two and 12, The Reptile Room and The Penultimate Peril. The cause of her death is supposedly still fire, except instead of the one that destroyed the Baudelaire mansion, it was the blaze at the Duchess of Winnipeg's castle. The children never see either of their parents again, but they do hold out hope for quite some time due to suggestive information in the Snicket File.

This Workout Class Just Pushed Me Like No Other - Here's Why You Should Take It

I've never been one to shy away from a new fitness challenge, so when I recently heard about a one-hour workout that was going to exhaust my muscles using light weights, I got excited (true story: I'm weak). A 25-year-old staple in the fitness community, the Les Mills BODYPUMP™ class has been touted as a breakthrough weight-training program, promising fat-burning effects in a positive space. It recently unveiled its 100th release of BODYPUMP and released a commemorative BP100 apparel and footwear collection with Reebok.

I'd like to say that I've taken my fair share of high-intensity weightlifting classes, but this one really stood apart. Find out everything I experienced, plus hear what personal trainer and advanced BODYPUMP instructor Ashley Pitt had to say about why it's so popular.

The vibe

The studio space was packed to the gills with a refreshing mixture of men and women. There were no attitudes and no obvious "regulars," just lots of people ready to lift. To prepare, everyone got their own step with risers, a barbell, and a few sets of extra weights. I embarrassingly raised my hand to signal that I was a newbie, and the instructor explained that we'd be changing the weight of the barbell depending on the muscle group we were working. I smiled. I like changing up weights depending on how I'm feeling. I tugged at the base of my tank top and was ready.

The warmup was no walk in the park

This was not your usual slow-and-steady jumping-jack warmup. As soon as the beat dropped, we started with an overhead press to a squat. Two seconds in and I was already doing squats. I later asked Pitt about the intense warmup. "We start with the warmup to get the body ready for movement, then hit the biggest track of class with the heaviest weight, which is squats to start the big metabolic training and calorie burn right off the bat," said Pitt. It made a lot of sense. "This track is done first so you can keep as good of form as possible with the heaviest barbell of the day on your back."

I may have done close to 1,000 reps during the workout

Throughout the class, we worked every major muscle group, switching from lower body to upper body to back to back of arms (triceps) to front of arms (biceps). So while my lower body rested, I did not - I was working another muscle group. BODYPUMP refers to this as the "rep effect," and it was exhausting. "The rep effect is an amazing benefit of [the class]. It means that you do a high volume of lighter weight and get the same advantages of lifting superheavy weights," Pitt shared. "Because we spend about five minutes per muscle group doing nearly 1,000 or more reps per class, you get great fatigue in each muscle group."

How I felt the next day

Sore. Very, very sore. I always have incredibly tight hamstrings (too much running, not enough stretching), so all of the lower-body work made things like descending stairs brutal. But it was the good kind of pain that I'm fond of. Pitt suggested taking the class two to four times a week, and I'll definitely be signing back up. This time I won't have to say I'm a newbie.

Here's How Naked Jamie Dornan Will Get in Fifty Shades Darker

If you needed just one more reason to get excited about Fifty Shades Darker, we've got it right here. There's a lot of information about the sequel out there, from the loads of set pictures to the sizzling set of trailers. Even so, there's one question that has yet to be answered: if Jamie Dornan didn't show his penis in the first film, will he go full frontal this time around?

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dornan didn't exactly confirm that we'd see him in his birthday suit in the film . . . but, well, he didn't really deny it either. When asked about the issue, he replied, "The truth is that I don't know the answer to that. You'll have to wait and see. [Laughs.]" If you really pick apart the phrase, the fact that Dornan is unsure might mean it's all up to the final cut. As in, perhaps he shot some nude scenes and he's just not sure if they made it into the film. Luckily, we don't have to wait too much longer to find out: the film's release is set for Friday!

The Internet Found Sean Spicer's Venmo Account, So Naturally They're Trolling It


Source: Getty / Drew Angerer
The internet is a blessed thing that we should all be grateful for. Sometimes, it gives us memes we can't stop referencing, and other times, it finds Sean Spicer's Venmo account and people immediately start trolling it.

Spicer's Venmo account, which was first posted about by the Who? Weekly Twitter account, looks pretty legit. You can't verify who owns any account on Venmo, but as New York Magazine reported, Spicer's history showed two payments to Ryan and Shannon Spicer - the same names as Spicer's siblings. So, it looks like this might actually be Spicer's real Venmo account.

However, the internet did not care whether or not it was Spicer's real account and immediately started requesting money for a variety of things like "because your boss is a lunatic" and of course, for "The Bowling Green Massacres."

At the time of writing, it appears you can still request money from Spicer, as I tried and it went through.

Here's hoping Melissa McCarthy reprises her role as Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live and talks about all these Venmo charges.

This Eye-Opening Video Is All About That 1 Phrase Parents Should Stop Using

A recent eye-opening video from Conejo Productions is shedding light on the phrase "boys will be boys" and its detrimental implications. The powerful video comes from the narrative perspective of Jorge Diaz, an actor who's appeared on Jane the Virgin and Elena of Avalor. In it, he addresses his daughter as he shares his complicated history with the aforementioned phrase.

At the start of the video, Jorge explained feeling content with the phrase when he was younger. He said, "At 7 years old, we were at my grandma's for a family dinner. Abuela always made the girl cousins set the table and serve the food. When my oldest cousin, Mireya, complained about the boys not helping, she was told, 'It wasn't a boy's job!' I thought, 'Lucky me, I get to keep on playing!'"

As he got older, however, Jorge realized how differently his female relatives were treated. While Jorge didn't have a curfew and was free to hang out with his friends whenever he pleased, his sister was subjected to much stricter rules. When Jorge pressed his father about the matter, he replied, "Boys know what they're doing and girl's just don't."

The video's parting message is particularly beautiful. Jorge said, "Being a man is about challenging the script that was handed down to us and I especially don't want you, mi hija, to grow up in a world where you will be told, 'Boys will be boys.' It's time to change that narrative."

The video is part of an ongoing series from Conejo Production and FreeWaves, titled DIS . . . Miss, that challenges gender expectations through various mediums. Watch the poignant video, above.

18 Stars You Probably Don't Know Won Grammys

6 Things You Can Do Now to Make Sure You and Your Kids Have the Best Summer Ever!

Sure, it's freezing and gray outside, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start thinking about a much more kid-friendly season: Summer! Equally anticipated by children and dreaded by moms whose little ones thrive on a schedule (i.e. all of them), Summer's sunny, hot days can be long if you don't go in with a plan, and now's the time to start.

Here are six things you should start doing now if you want this to be your family's best Summer yet.

  1. Book a week (or more) at Summer camp. Many overnight camps have already opened their Summer registrations, and day camps are soon to follow (I'm registering my daughter March 1). Start your research by asking moms with older kids about their camp experiences or looking on the websites of your local park district or YMCA to find area camps. Groups like the American Camp Association and Summer Camps will help you find traditional overnight and day camps, along with specialty camps for kids interested in art, technology, sports, and more.
  2. Research area pools, beaches, and spray parks. Although your Summer may already be filling up with vacations, weddings, and camps, there will definitely be a lot of days when you wake up, look at your children, and realize you have nothing on the books (aka the mom nightmare). That's why you need a go-to Summer fun spot that's easily accessible and inexpensive. Ask around about area pools, spray parks, and beaches. Is a country club in your budget or does your town have an awesome park district pool like mine that has a discounted season pass? I'll be buying my local pool's early-bird family pass this Spring for less than $200. Without one, taking my kids is $30 a pop every time.
  3. Plan a family trip. Whether it's a week at Grandma's house, a tour of a National Park, or the camping excursion you've been waiting for your kids to age into, there's no better time than Summer to pack up and go. Start planning now and you'll have the added joy of months of excitement about your upcoming adventure.
  4. Find a Summer sport program. Registering your kids for a Summer sport adds some much-needed structure to a season that often lacks any and gets your kid outside and staying active (i.e. burning energy). Research programs through the park district, swimming clubs, or organizations like Lil' Kickers or ask friends about what Summer sports their kids have enjoyed.
  5. Invest in a backyard upgrade. Moms need a Summer break, too, and sometimes the best way to get one is to throw your kids out of the house and into the backyard. Make it more appealing by considering the addition of a new swing set (start looking at Craigslist now for good deals on used play sets), play structure, or tree house.
  6. Start looking for extra childcare. If you're used to having your kids in school all the time or at least part of it, having them home all day, every day can be . . . hmmm, how should I put it? Torture. Help yourself out and start asking trusted babysitters about their Summer schedules to get yourself a regular slot with them. You'll be grateful you did.

Milo Ventimiglia Surprises a Fan Watching This Is Us While He Films Next Door

Milo Ventimiglia gave one This Is Us fan the surprise of a lifetime this week. While filming scenes for the hit NBC show, the actor noticed that someone in the house next door was actually watching the show on TV, and he quickly decided to stop by.

Consider this our official request for a Milo Ventimiglia house visit.

The Unexpected Reason Makeup Artists Are Protecting Their Beautyblenders With Condoms

If an effort to re-create the impressively efficient SiliSponge makeup blender, vloggers and makeup aficionados across the internet are hacking their Beautyblender sponges by tucking them inside condoms. Yep, you read that correctly, condoms. While we never thought we'd be rubbing our faces with makeup-covered latex, it's proving to be quite the logical tactic for application. Beauty vlogger Laila Tahri tested out the condom trick for her followers and was pleasantly surprised.

"I came up with this idea because I love using a sponge, but it absorbs so much product," Laila explained on Instagram. "Using the condom around it, it doesn't absorb any product and it applies super smooth!"

In the same way that the popular silicone sponge doesn't absorb foundation, the latex condom prevents the Beautyblender from soaking up makeup and reportedly guarantees a smooth application. If you're worried about how lubrication could possibly work well with your favorite foundatino formula, you're not alone. Laila points out that the most important thing to do before trying this technique is to clean off the condom's spermicide and lubricant, and then it's time to get to work.

Keep reading to see Laila's full tutorial using a condom to apply her foundation, and then see more possibilities of condoms for makeup application.

5 Secrets Straight From a Cold Stone Creamery Employee

Ever wondered what it's like to work at Cold Stone Creamery? One employee spilled all of the cold treat shop's secrets in a Reddit AMA. During the "Ask Me Anything" conversation, a person who worked at Cold Stone for over a year answered Reddit users' questions about the popular dessert shop. Read on to find out what to order, when to go, and how to get secret menu items from a Cold Stone expert.

It turns out, you can get sick of ice cream.

When asked about his or her favorite ice cream flavor, the employee said coffee and banana mixed with caramel and white chocolate chips. However, the employee added, "I don't eat much ice cream anymore though. When you go home smelling of it everyday it starts to taste bad."

Monday is the best day of the week to go.

"Over the weekend a lot of the ice cream gets cycled out so you have the freshest on Monday," the employee recommends.

These are the flavors you should order on your first visit.

The employee suggests banana, coffee, sweet cream, or cheesecake ice cream flavors, because they're made with the most "real ingredients."

The toppings to get and toppings to avoid

According to the poster, Butterfingers and cherry pie filling are among the least ordered toppings, and therefore the least fresh. Whipped topping is the favorite mix-in of this employee.

Make sure to look at the smaller menu at the register

We Just Can't Get Enough of Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe's Beautiful Romance

Our obsession with Sterling K. Brown has reached an all-time high this year with his performances in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson and This Is Us, but we've also fallen in love with his sweet, sweet family.

After meeting and falling in love at Stanford University, the two tied the knot in June 2007 and are now parents to two adorable sons - they've even shared the screen on Army Wives and This Is Us.

Queen Elizabeth II Hops on a Train at King's Cross Station Like It's No Big Thing

Queen Elizabeth II officially became the longest-reigning British monarch on Monday when she celebrated 65 years on the throne with her Sapphire Jubilee, but that doesn't mean she's above public transportation. The royal was spotted catching a train at King's Cross Station in London on Tuesday, and while the photos simply capture a mundane activity, it's actually hilarious to see. The queen, dressed in a lime green dress, jacket, and scarf, was all smiles as she was escorted to her train by a few security guards. While a few excited peasants people snapped photos in the background, the queen was largely given her space. And that's good, since she was probably on her way to Platform 9 3/4 to catch the Hogwarts Express and would need to be away from the prying eyes of Muggles.

Pizza Eyeliner Is Happening and It's Not as Cheesy as You Think

After the advent of such eyeliner trends as ribbon liner, unicorn horn cat eyes, and "knife liner," we weren't really surprised when pizza made its way onto lids. But crust trust us, this is a trend worth trying out. It combines the universal love of cheesy, greasy goodness with a the desire to rock razor-sharp wings for a completely glorious and (gastronomic) beauty look.

So far, it seems scant intrepid beauty risktakers have tested the style, but we're hoping that more takes on the pizza cat eye make their way onto Instagram soon. After all, there are so many kinds of pizza to immortalize in eye makeup . . . just don't attempt this look when you're hangry. Read on to see a few shots of it!

Early Signs of Anxiety and Depression Could Be Detected in Children Straight From Birth

Although symptoms of anxiety and depression have the potential to materialize in kids as young as 2, a new study reveals that these early signs could be detected in newborns. Factors such as genetics, environment, and experiences all have an influence on a person's likelihood of exhibiting signs of mental illness, but the study, conducted by the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, claims that patterns in a newborn's brain connectivity could predict whether they may experience symptoms years before they happen.

"Brain connectivity patterns may indicate that for some children, their brains are developing along a trajectory that increases their risk for mental health symptoms as they develop," Dr. Cynthia Rogers, a child psychiatrist at Washington University in St. Louis and lead author of this study, told The Huffington Post. "It's important to note, however, that the experiences and environment that they are exposed to as they grow may alter these connectivity patterns making it more or less likely for these symptoms to develop."

The study looked at MRI brain scans of 65 full-term babies and 57 premature babies to see the patterns between their amygdalas - where the brain interprets fear - and other brain regions. They were then assessed at 2 years old for any early signs of anxiety or depression. Researchers found that whether the child was full term or preterm, certain connections between the amygdala and other parts of the brain - the insula and medial prefrontal cortex, which involve emotions, consciousness, planning, and decision making - were associated with a higher risk of early signs of anxiety and depression at 2 years.

"If we can understand what patterns of connectivity are related to early social and emotional impairments, we can then study what predicts those connectivity patterns," Rogers said. "We can evaluate whether there are experiences these children have while in the hospital or early in infancy that change these patterns for better or worse that we can aim to modify."

If you think your child may be exhibiting signs or symptoms of anxiety or depression, consult their pediatrician to discuss a potential course of action.

Christie Brinkley and Her Daughters Open Up About Body Image While Stunning in the SI Swimsuit Issue

Christie Brinkley has been an iconic supermodel for the last three decades, and now, she's returned to the infamous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue alongside her stunning daughters, flaunting their strong gene pool and opening up about their individual struggles with body image. Alexa Ray Joel, 31, and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 18, pose next to their 63-year-old mother (!!!!) in fabulous two-piece bikinis, but Christie explained that to be able to do this shoot with her daughters was a dream come true.

"Yes! I am excited to announce that I am back in @si_swimsuit . . . I figured with my gorgeous daughters @alexarayjoel and @sailorbrinkleycook by my side whose going to be looking at me! [sic]" Christie wrote on Instagram. "Oh and my kids think I walk on water, so let's not mention the apple box concealed just under the surface."

She added, "Thank you Sports Illustrated for sending the powerful message that good things come in packages of every size and we do not come with an expiration date!"

But Alexa and Sailor each opened up about how important it is to love yourself and your body, regardless of your gene pool. Both of the girls took to Instagram to share some advice for anyone struggling with their body image, and it's an incredibly important message to keep in mind.

"I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember," Sailor wrote on Instagram alongside the photo of her mom and her half-sister. "I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases."

Sailor continued, "My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, I treat myself well, and for that I'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable.' I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it loves the people I love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and that is beautiful."

Alexa also opened up about her own journey of confidence, and is passing along what she's learned to anyone else who has struggled with self-love. "This was a lesson in learning to let go, take the plunge, and embrace myself from both the inside AND out - which is something I struggle with each and every day," she wrote. "My purpose is to now pass along this lesson of unconditional self-love and self-respect to every woman who's willing to listen. Once again, from the bottom of my heart . . . Thank You."

These Peeks of Jason Momoa as Aquaman Prove That He's the Perfect Casting Choice

In case his crazy Justice League workout regimen or the first look behind the scenes didn't convince you that Jason Momoa is perfect for the role of DC Comics' Aquaman (a trident-wielding half-god also known as Arthur Curry), we've rounded up all the peeks we've gotten at the highly anticipated Atlantian hero. Momoa's hulking stature, no-nonsense gaze, and ability to rock tattoos lend him the perfect look for embodying director Zack Snyder's new take on the beloved hero, and the actor's pioneering attitude and respect for the sea mean that he's inwardly suited for the role also.

Both interviews with Momoa and social media snaps about about his new role reveal that he's ridiculously excited to pick up Aquaman's trident - especially because he'll be able to portray his Polynesian heritage in the role. Check out these incredible moments from the filming of Justice League: Part One and Aquaman's brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Once you see how powerful, passionate, and intimidating Momoa appears in the role, you'll barely be able to wait for next year's Justice League premiere!
