Angelina Jolie's Kids Are All Grown Up! See Them at the Cambodian Premiere of Her New Film
Nearly five months after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, the actress is back in the spotlight. On Saturday, Angelina pulled double duty and attended a panel and the world premiere of her new film, First They Killed My Father, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, with her six kids - Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8 - in tow. Clad in a silky black dress, Angelina appeared to be in good spirits as she waved to nearby onlookers and spoke at a press conference with actress Sareum Srey Moch. Both Maddox and Pax were involved in the film's production, but it was an especially big day for Maddox, who was born in Cambodia (Angelina adopted him in 2002). During the premiere, Angelina spoke about her deep connection to the country, saying, "Without Cambodia I may never have become a mother. Part of my heart is and will always be in this country. And part of this country is always with me: Maddox."
Maddox also got up on stage and gave a speech of his own, saying, "Thank you everyone for attending tonight. We finally made it. It's a great honor to present this film to all of you, and to stand by my mother and my family." But perhaps the cutest part of the event was when little Shiloh took the microphone and told the audience in Khmer, "My name is Shiloh and I love Cambodia." While Angelina has been maintaining a low profile, her divorce from Brad has been at the top of headlines. Just last month, the duo's reps released a joint statement, saying, "The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification." As the estranged couple continue to finalize their divorce, it's nice to see Angelina looking so happy.

This Is Us makes us cry like no other show on TV, and for that the cast is truly sorry. The stars recently released a PSA where they addressed the show's sad, shocking, and downright heartbreaking themes. Even though they're sorry about the amount of tissues we use and the amount of wine we buy week after week, there is one thing they won't apologize for: making us feel emotions. "Life is complicated," they tell the camera. "Parents make mistakes, siblings don't always see eye to eye . . . bottom line: this is us." Honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way.

The Instagram vs. Real Life Challenge Will Restore Your Confidence in Your Makeup Skills
Between exaggerated eyebrows and time-consuming contouring, Instagram beauty trends are fun, but can be exhausting to execute in real life. These over-the-top glam creations have been sweeping our social media feeds for what feels like forever, but now, beauty bloggers and makeup gurus alike are taking part in a powerful challenge to let the world know that Instagram makeup is not for every day.
In the "Instagram vs. real life" makeup challenge, beauty-lovers style one side of their face with so-called Instagram makeup - overdrawn arches, seriously smoky eyes, long fake lashes, a sculpted face, and more - and the other side with a natural, everyday look. The contrast between the two is striking!
Yes, extreme glam can take your confidence and swagger to new levels, but it's a little too time consuming to do if it's not for a 'gram. This challenge is extremely important for all of us to see that behind all the airbrushed "perfection" we see on social media, even popular influencers can keep it real.
Keep reading to see how different beauty bloggers are taking part in this challenge and prepare to be blown away by the side-by-side results.

Thankful Adoptive Mom Wrote a Letter to the Man at the Rodeo Who Changed Her Son's Life
Dear stranger next to us at the rodeo,When my son came up to you and grabbed your arm, you didn't know he used to be...
Posted by Charity Stewart Robinson on Saturday, June 13, 2015
When Lincoln was adopted back in 2015 by Charity Stewart Robinson, he was afraid of people. He had been diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder and language disorder, and his new mama didn't know when she'd see the day that he could laugh, play, or engage with others. Everything changed for her - and Lincoln - on a family outing to the rodeo a few months after his adoption when he approached a man sitting down the row from them.
Robinson wrote a heartfelt and grateful letter to this man after the event, which she posted to her Facebook. What she didn't know was that in writing a letter to this mystery man, her friends and other commenters would work together to find the rodeo guest that her son took to so effortlessly. The man is Jason Taylor, a pastor of Bar None Cowboy Church in Henderson, TX, which the family attended the next day.
Robinson added more photos to the comments section of the original post and expressed more gratitude to Taylor for his interactions with Lincoln. She wrote: "Yesterday he was a stranger and today he is a friend we sat next to in church . . . So lucky that God made sure our paths crossed last night."
After This Child Nearly Hung Herself on the Playground, 1 Mom Is Warning All Parents
Marley Oster is lucky to have Madison as her friend. Not only because the girls get along so well, but also because the 8-year-old saved Marley's life. When Marley went for one last ride down a school slide during recess, the safety clip on the hat she was wearing got stuck and the string nearly strangled the child. Her mom, Gail, explained that as the hat got caught, her child kept sliding and it pulled her neck back into a "strangulation position," leaving the 6-year-old hanging and unable free herself.
Madison climbed down the slide and worked to free her friend, but because the plastic clip was jammed in a crack, it took time. Marley was rushed to the doctor and left with rope burn across her neck. According to Gail, her doctor let them know that if Marley had been stuck for 45 seconds longer, her windpipe could have collapsed. She also could've broken her neck if another kid had gone down the slide immediately after her.
"Please all parents either check your child's hat that the clip releases under pressure or cut the cord completely off the hat," Gail pleaded on Facebook along with raw photos of Marley's injuries.
This is not the first local schoolyard strangulation, so as a result, public schools in South Australia have mandated that cords and straps from hats and hoodies be removed. Gail had just purchased this hat for Marley and wants other parents to realize that a plastic clip isn't enough to keep their kids safe.
"I bought it on Wednesday, I had it on her head on Thursday, and even now if you try to unclip the hat it's very hard, it doesn't unclip," she told the Daily Mail. "It's not an isolated incident. A lot of parents have said these hats have done this kind of damage."
Although the school district's ban against strings on the playground is a step in the right direction, Gail wants all drawstrings to be forbidden. "No cords and no clips, it's a hazard. Thankfully, the parents that have been affected with these hats, we've been able to take our kids home. But one day that won't happen," she said. "There will be a child that dies, there will be a family that gets that phone call."
Gwen Stefani Is the "Biggest Blake Shelton Fan," but That Wasn't Always the Case
Gwen Stefani is returning to The Voice this season, but we're most excited to see her reunite with her boyfriend, Blake Shelton. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday, the singer couldn't help but gush about her amazing beau. "I love Blake," she told the host. "He's just a sparkly, like happy, amazing person." While she's certainly the "biggest Blake Shelton fan now," that wasn't always the case. In fact, Gwen didn't even know he existed until she got on the show. We're definitely happy they ended up meeting, because we can't get over their charming relationship.
Demi Lovato on Losing at the Grammys: "I Was Praying the Russians Were Gonna Pull Through For Me"
Demi Lovato just confirmed her relationship with MMA fighter Guilherme "Bomba" Vasconcelos, talked about the awkwardness that was wearing a see-through dress at the Grammys when her date was her dad, and even slipped in a dig at the presidential elections during her interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The "Body Say" singer sat down with Ellen to promote her new documentary about mental health, and the interview was all over the place and yet incredibly revealing. The best moment, though, came when Ellen congratulated Demi on her first Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album and discussed the tough competition in the category, which included Beyoncé and Adele. Demi's response was hilarious, saying: "Hey, listen, elections are crazy, and so I thought maybe I have a shot. I was praying that the Russians were going to pull through for me. They didn't." OMG, Demi!
Press play above to watch the full interview and hear her discuss her relationship with Bomba.
Hold On to Your Gowns! This Beauty and the Beast Collection Will Leave You Twirling With Excitement
If you're anything like us, you've been counting down the days until we can see Emma Watson twirling around in Beauty and the Beast. Luckily, we're getting a taste of the fairy tale before it hits theaters next month. We recently spotted what appears to be a Beauty and the Beast collection from L'Oréal on Instagram and our fingers are crossed that it's real, because it looks amazing. The collection includes seven shades of lipstick and nail polish associated with each character. From a Mrs. Potts-inspired bright pink and Belle's classic red to a brown lipstick that pays homage to the Beast, there is a great range of colors to fulfill all of your Disney dreams.
We have reached out to L'Oréal to verify the authenticity of this collection, which appears to be an Italian one. The assortment consists of seven unique Color Riche Lipstick shades, in addition to seven Color Oil Enamel nail polish colors.
Sadly, while most princesses have their fairy-tale endings, we might not: this collection is reportedly only available on Amazon Italy. However, because the site does ship worldwide, we'll definitely be checking back when it launches on Feb. 9. If you're fortunate enough to live in Italy, the full collection can be pre-ordered for $97, or you can pre-order the lipsticks ($11) and nail polishes ($8) individually on Amazon. If these photos - and products - are real, we are all going to be very happy (cue the "Be Our Guest" music).
Keep reading to see all of the stunning themed lipstick and nail polish shades, which are guaranteed to make you feel like the Belle (pun intended!) of the ball.

Mom's Incredible Photo of 2 Very Different Bags of Breast Milk She Pumped on the Same Day
When Chelsea Pryce's 2-year-old son, Osiris, got sick, she decided to breastfeed him and her other son, 3-month-old Hendrix, from different breasts to avoid Hendrix getting sick as well. Although moms have shared before the way their milk has adapted for their sick children to give them the nutrients they need, Pryce's photo of the way her breast milk adapted for her boys is even more incredible as she pumped two completely different-looking bags of milk on the same day.
"Osiris's pumped breast milk is on the left, Hendrix's is on the right," Pryce captioned the photo of her pumped milk on Facebook. "Each breast produced perfectly tailored milk for each kid. Our bodies are amazing."
How a $500 Tequila-Infused Pizza Looks and Tastes
In honor of National Margarita Day, Patrón recently partnered with NYC's Bodega Negra to create one of the most beguiling hybrid menu items yet: a tequila-infused pizza. The so-called Platinum Margarita Margherita Pizza consists of a flour tortilla crust layered with avocado and mango, topped with lobster, caviar, black truffles, pickled onions, and flakes of platinum. Oh, and it's $500.
What makes the over-the-top menu item so expensive? For starters, there are dollops of crema that are cooked with Gran Patrón Platinum, a bottle of which will cost you nearly $200. Meanwhile, the lobster and mango are cooked using Gran Patrón Burdeos, one of the brand's finest offerings, which costs $500. The flakes of platinum and black truffle aren't cheap either.
As a lover of both tequila and pizza, I jumped at the opportunity to try the twisted creation. Upon seeing the pizza for the first time in real life, I was overwhelmed. While I was struggling to visually pick apart the pizza's many ingredients, I also had a hard time figuring out how to eat the damn thing.
I cut into the towering avocado rose and watched as caviar spilled all over the slices. After some maneuvering, I finally put together a sizable bite that featured all of the good stuff. Now, that first bite was pretty salty. I must admit that I don't love caviar, and that first bite unfortunately just had too much for my liking. In combination with the lobster, I just wasn't able to taste all of the other dynamic components. I removed some of the caviar and tried again. This time, I was able to really appreciate the vibrant addition of the mango and avocado against the stronger flavors of the lobster and truffle.
Now, you're probably wondering if the pizza tastes like tequila at all, and the answer is no. Since the tequila is used in the cooking process, it's undetectable in the finished product. I have to say I was relieved because I don't think I could have handled another flavor in the pizza!
Since eating the entire pizza by myself would have been a big undertaking, I enlisted some friends to try it with me. One of my friends really likes caviar, so she enjoyed the use of it much more than I did. Another friend said the pizza "tasted like Miami" due to its tropical elements and overall colorful look. She astutely said it would likely do really well as a menu item in an upscale Miami restaurant.
Would I drop $500 for pizza on an average night out? Probably - er, definitely - not. I did, however, really enjoy trying one of the most luxurious hybrid foods I've ever heard of, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to find out what happens when two of my favorite things come together in such an elaborate way. For now, I'll just stick to my dollar slices and classic margaritas.
If you live in the New York area and are hoping to try the pizza yourself, it's available for a limited time at Bodega Negra, located inside of the Dream Downtown hotel at 355 W. 16th St.

Instagram Is Finally Letting You Share Multiple Photos in One Post
Instagram is finally bringing a long-awaited feature to the app: sharing multiple photos and videos in a single post. The feature begins rolling out today to both Android and iOS users.

Leave Bella Thorne and Her Hairy Armpits Alone, Already!
Image Source: Getty / Gustavo Caballero
When we go on vacation - especially to a tropical destination - we leave our high-maintenance beauty goods at home. This can include hair hot tools, contour kits, and sometimes, even razors (don't judge, please!). Letting yourself feel free and natural is the way to go when you're actually relaxing. Or just get laser hair removal so you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Bella Thorne seems to have the same sentiments, and she was recently spotted sporting hair armpits while getting some R & R in Cancun.
This would be fine if there wasn't a video going around the internet exposing her - dubbing her "Bushy Bella":

Check out the top 20 memoirs by African-American celebrities that not only detail how they achieved their dreams, but which will inspire you to do the same.

Jimmy Fallon Imagines a (Terrifying) World With a Donald Trump-Owned News Network
Are you sick of the dishonest liberal media constantly spreading fake news? Do you cringe at the thought of any fact that isn't an "alternative" one that suits your beliefs? Would you prefer to hear about imaginary terror attacks in Sweden rather than the current refugee crisis? Then Trump News Network is probably for you! Like Alec Baldwin on SNL, Jimmy Fallon is choosing to deal with the everyday absurdity of our nation's president with humor (a welcome change from humanizing a man who brags about sexual assault). His skit on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, though funny, feels all too real as he imagines a world with a Trump-owned news network. "It's the only news network that's 100 percent fair and 112 percent factual," he jokes, before warning everyone that a Godzilla attack on Finland is imminent.

Hilarious Ad Reminds Moms to Get in the Freaking Photos With Their Kids
To be honest, we didn't think we could laugh harder at an advertisement for photo books than we did last November at Chatbooks's commercial for busy moms who don't have time to scrapbook. But now, the clever company has released another ad, this time encouraging moms to get into photos with their kids, and though it's hilarious, it's still resonating with us on a deep level.
"Do you ever get nostalgic looking at old photos?" begins the video ad. "See this picture of everyone at Disneyland? I'm not in it. Dance recitals? Not here. Birthdays? Nope. My birthday? Ha, I'm not in it!" If this sounds familiar, you need to watch this hysterical video to hear Chatbooks's tips for getting into photos with your kids, one of which is simply: "Ask someone else to take the picture once in a while (just as long as it's not your floppy-fingered friend)."
Every Single Emotion You Felt During That Gut-Wrenching This Is Us Episode
Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead.
This Is Us is known for making us bawl our eyes out, but the latest episode really took the cake. After teasing it all season long, Randall's biological father, William, lost his battle with cancer during Tuesday night's episode. While the cast was certainly emotional about the beloved character's bittersweet goodbye, some of the best (and most relatable) reactions came from the fans. See some of the best moments on social media right here.

Gucci’s Fall Collection Calls for a Wild, Diverse, Fantastical Future
It's not like Alessandro Michele really needs any help luring his customer in. But the Gucci Creative Director seems to have developed a new tactic. For the past few RTW seasons, he's collaborated with artists - Jayde Fish for Spring 2017 and GucciGhost aka Trevor Andrew for Fall 2016. Prepare to see Graffiti artist Coco Capitán's scratchy scripture everywhere, starting with an accompaniment to the show's vinyl record invite: "What are we going to do with all this future?" The text was displayed on location at the Gucci hub in Milan as guests walked by to take their seats, and later on the faces of umbrellas the models carried down the runway.
Michele's devoted stars were all in attendance, from Salma Hayek and Charlotte Casiraghi to Hari Nef and Florence Welch. But on the catwalk, we saw a whole handful of fresh faces, surely thanks to the fashion house's new relationship with Parks Liberi e Uguali, a nonprofit that assists companies in welcoming all ethnicities, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Alessandro convinced us of his commitment to diversity when choosing his models, which ranged in age and skin color. His clothes sent out the same message.
Looks were debuted in a glass-encased hallway that Michele referred to as "The Alchemist's Garden: an Anti-Modern Laboratory." The presentation might have been situated a bit far from the audience, but it wasn't at all hard to see the colorful kimonos, dresses, and maxi skirts, which were all so decorated it was almost dizzying. Nevertheless, each outfit was more exciting than the one before, glitter tights, fanny packs, and snakeskin-lined suitcases, acting as accessories - along with the new 3-bag connector, which swung vertically like those red hanging monkeys you used to string along.
By revealing his first unisex collection, Alessandro sent out the message that men's fashion should be just as exciting as women's. A lot of the pieces on the guys, like text-emblazoned or tiger-print sweaters, '70s bell-bottom trousers, beaded flannels, track suits, and voluminous capes (we're looking at you, Beyoncé) were appropriate for girls too. The idea was driven home with a bedazzled face mask and a few full-body crystal suits, perhaps speaking to the fact that we are all humankind. At our core, we are very much alike.
Alessandro paid homage to the past too, planting a few vintage Gucci tees throughout the collection and wearing his own yellow version with a Yankee cap to take his bow. Of course, they all were signed with Coco Capitán's words, a mixing of the old and the new. Alessandro numbered the stage with Oscar-worthy gowns, including one black and white design with pouf sleeves, and a dreamy Gucci bridal look that was covered in flowers from head to toe. There was a fringed moto jacket that belongs on Dakota Johnson or really, any rock n' roll fan, proving that Gucci has come full circle - it is truly a brand for everyone.

Overrated Actress Meryl Streep Gets Another Award, Continues to Prove the President Is a Joke
After Meryl Streep destroyed Donald Trump during her amazing acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards in January, the actress continues to shut him up without saying a single word. Meryl, who didn't mention Trump by name when she spoke about respect and diversity while accepting her Cecil B. DeMille Award, was met with a toddler-like tantrum from the president over her honest words. He took to Twitter soon after the show to call her "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood." The only problem? He's wrong and should sit the hell down.
The Hollywood icon won yet another well-deserved award on Tuesday when she took home the distinguished collaborator award from costume designer Ann Roth at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in LA. Meryl, who brought daughter Mamie as her date, was recognized for her "unwavering support of costume design and creative partnerships with costume designers." Fellow star James Corden also poked fun at Trump when he called Meryl "the worst" and "a complete bitch" while helping present the award. "Now listen, I disagree with almost everything Donald Trump has ever said," James joked. "But when he tweeted that . . . I'm joking, of course. It's great to see someone like Meryl finally recognized with an award."
Emily Ratajkowski Just Created a Political T-shirt Every Girl Will Want to Wear
Like many activists, the fashion crowd isn't putting up with President Donald Trump's immigration policies. During his first weeks in office, he had signed an executive order to ban the US from taking in Syrian refugees and then placed a temporary ban on immigration from Muslim countries. Models, actresses, and style influencers reacted on social media and still continue to do so as Trump announced some new reforms.
Stars like Emily Ratajkowski attended an airport protest at LAX and turned her picket slogan into a tee, while Kerry Washington used her SAG Awards look last month to call for solidarity. This isn't the first time Trump's ruffled Hollywood's feathers. From his election campaign to his comments about designers dressing his wife, Melania, the first family's often the center of controversy. Given the tense political climate so far, we expect even more fashion influencers to rally against Trump in the near future.

The Power Woman Outfit Kate Middleton's Kept Around Since 2012
We all have that one outfit we can't seem to toss away. For Kate Middleton, that would be her burgundy Paule Ka skirt suit (amongst a few other treasures). The Duchess of Cambridge first wore the outfit in 2012 but styled it a little differently when she visited the Action For Children center. Kate layered a black turtleneck underneath her blazer and accessorized with gloves. A pair of Stuart Weitzman boots completed the look, lending a more casual feel than heels.
The duchess seems to have an affinity for keeping around power woman suit sets like this one, and we totally get that. You never know when you'll need to pull one out again. The next time you think about throwing away such a sophisticated look, pull a Kate and keep it stocked in the back of your wardrobe, at least for a few more years.
The Cast of This Is Us Reacts to That Bittersweet Goodbye We All Knew Was Coming

Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead.
Well, the moment we all knew was coming finally came. In what was without a doubt the saddest moment on This Is Us so far, Randall's biological father, William, succumbed to his cancer and passed away on Tuesday night's episode. Even though we all knew it would happen eventually, the scene still left us completely devastated. After the father-son duo take a road trip to William's hometown of Memphis, he suddenly takes a bad turn and is rushed to the ER. As William slowly slips away in his hospital bed, Randall comforts him the same way his father, Jack, used to ease his anxiety by putting his hands on his face and telling him to breathe. While we couldn't help but choke on our tears, the cast shared similar sentiments. Sterling K. Brown even took to Facebook Live after the episode to have a good cry with everyone. See some of the best reactions below.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor behind William opened up about the death of his beloved character. "There's just so many feelings," he said. "It's an amalgamation - so many different feelings from the work that we did, to the character study, to being so close to the character, and like a fan, and many of the fans, not wanting him to die, you know? So, yeah, it feels wonderfully sad, I guess. It has the top of the top and the bottom of the bottom, and everything in between." Even though his character is dead in the present, Jones did reveal that he'll be back in "some capacity" for season two.
