No Rest For the Cute: Chrissy and John Hit Another Red Carpet Just 2 Days After the Oscars
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend must be fueled by their love for each other, because their energy is just never-ending. The adorable couple hit the red carpet at the season two premiere of WGN America's Underground in LA on Tuesday, just two days after they attended the Oscars. The parents of daughter Luna were all smiles as they posed for photos with each other and members of the show's cast. Chrissy and John also shared a few laughs before heading inside. John, who is a producer on Underground, is probably still on a high from his amazing Oscars performance, and Chrissy is probably a little bit more awake since she took a nice little snooze in the middle of Hollywood's biggest night.

Dad's Viral Warning After Finding His Child Blue From Choking on a Tommee Tippee Pacifier
After discovering his baby girl turning blue from lack of oxygen, Earl Wilson is warning parents about the common baby product that almost killed his daughter.
Earl checked on his 18-month-old baby after hearing a muffled noise and discovered that she had her entire pacifier lodged in her mouth. "Beware, my daughter nearly choked on this Tommee Tippee soother yesterday morning. If it wasn't for my wife's quick thinking, I'd hate to think what would have happened," Earl shared on Facebook along with photos of the specific pacifier. "My daughter turned blue and Sam had to remove the teat from her throat."
Earl is hoping that his message not only makes an impression on other parents but also on Tommee Tippee because he fears that these pacifiers are too small for babies, especially after they fall asleep. "My main concern is it's an owl dummy (associated with night) so people will be using it at bed time," Earl wrote. "I don't think my daughter would be here now if this happened in the middle of the night."
A spokesperson for Tommee Tippee told Daily Mail that the company is investigating the situation:
The safety and well-being of babies is at the heart of absolutely everything we do, so we're taking this extremely seriously. We're very sorry that Earl and his wife and daughter have had this experience; it must have been very distressing for them. We're going to investigate this thoroughly, and have already spoken to Earl's wife, Sam, to arrange to get the soother back so we can examine it. We would like to reassure parents that all of our products comply with strict European safety standards. However, like all other soother manufacturers, we always advise parents to pull the soother in all directions and look for bite marks before every single use, and throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Not only did she graduate with honors, but her love story with Prince William began there as well. See some of the most interesting facts from her college years here.

Halle Berry Almost Wore This Ridiculously Sexy Dress to the Oscars
On the day of the Oscars, Halle Berry posed for fashion photographer Cliff Watts in her Versace dresses. The shoot was for Vogue, and will likely be revealed in an upcoming issue. While she did model the number she wore on the red carpet, Halle tried on a different floor-skimming gown with cutouts from the Italian label.
According to a BTS Instagram, this design was her second choice for the ceremony. Scroll to catch a glimpse at Halle's two Versace picks - one for the award show and the next for the Vanity Fair bash - then check out the tight-fitting dress that never was and let us know if you'd have preferred it over Halle's final looks.
Lady Gaga Performed in the Most Expensive Hat We've Ever Seen
For awhile, there had been one accessory Lady Gaga rarely left home without: a wide-brim, Gladys Tamez hat. The star paired them with a variety of her outfits, and while she seems to favor the pink design that appeared on her Joanne album cover, she's stepped out in yellow and dark colored options as well. To some, the piece may seem somewhat tame - versatile and pretty normal for Gaga.
But the singer's hat at the 2016 Victoria's Secret show definitely proved her days of outrageous fashion choices are far from over. On stage, Lady Gaga once again wore a Gladys Tamez piece, but this time it was embellished, had fringe, and cost a whopping $1 million. The brand said it was an "an homage to the million dollar fantasy bra," and looking at it, we were pretty impressed - not to mention jealous.
Scroll through to see the expensive piece from a few different angles, then see how Lady Gaga has worn similar styles off-duty, and hold out for her next performance in one. Want one for yourself? Shop a (less expensive) pick from the brand ahead.

Read through to watch trailers and read about the family movies being released over the rest of this year.
A Supermom Created This 400,000-Piece Hogwarts Castle Out of LEGOs, and We Are Speechless
As a complete Potterhead, I was always really proud of my LEGO Harry Potter figurine I keep at my work desk. It comes complete with a school trunk, Hedwig, and Harry clutching his wand. The trunk even holds tiny Galleons! Then I discovered Alice Finch's re-creation of the Hogwarts Castle. I silently tucked my poor little Harry out of sight, at least until the shock of her stunning LEGO creation subsided a bit. Finch's absolutely epic 400,000 piece structure puts every single LEGO creation ever built - my tiny, school-bound Potter most of all - to shame.
The mother of two built a LEGO Hogwarts castle so full of detail, only a true fan could have lovingly pieced it together with such success. "I did quite a bit of research in the books and movies looking for the smallest of details, things like the old-fashioned slide projector in Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the location of the potions class, and the wood paneling in the charms classroom," she told LEGO blog The Brother's Brick.
Before BrickCon 2012, she spent a total of 12 months of work on the castle, and it is designed to be both "architectually accurate" as well as completely playable. I'd personally be torn between the strong desire to keep every aspect in perfect place, and an impulse to reenact every book using the pieces. Pretty sure the latter inclination would win out. Check out the photos of the castle . . . you won't be able to look away.
Brad Pitt Gets the Job Done in the Teaser For Netflix's War Machine
There's nothing quite like a man in uniform. Netflix has unleashed the first teaser for their absurdist war story, War Machine, and we can't get over how different Brad Pitt looks. Donning bleach blond hair and a forced Ken doll smile, the actor stars as General Glenn McMahon, a man set in leading the modern war machine until a journalist swoops in to write an all-telling exposé. The movie, which is inspired by the book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan by the late journalist Michael Hastings, also includes an A-list cast featuring Tilda Swinton, Ben Kingsley, Anthony Michael Hall, and Topher Grace, just to name a few. You can catch the movie in its entirety when it hits the streaming service on May 26.
Miley Cyrus Will Win You Over With Her Wedding Dress
I don't know when or if Miley Cyrus is getting married. Maybe she doesn't even know. But in my imaginary world, she walks down the aisle in a pretty spectacular wedding dress. You see, ever since I was young, I looked at Miley as someone who represented versatility. She played two different characters on Hannah Montana, and my younger sister plastered posters of Miley all over her walls, some in which she was dressed up like Hannah, others in which she was just herself, in jeans and a three-quarter-sleeved tee. But even when she was just being Miley, the actress and singer looked unique and a little bit quirky.
She's gone through many stages, but there has never been a time when Miley's paid attention to trends. During her rise to fame, she wore flares and cowboy boots, maybe because they were representative of where she came from: Franklin, TN. Post-breakup with Liam Hemsworth (the two have recently rekindled their relationship), Miley kind of went HAM with her wardrobe. And I liked it. What she wore, or didn't wear, was all a part of her personal revolution.
Miley's style at this point could basically be described as costume like. She dressed as a twerking teddy bear and supported LGBT rights in rainbows and big, furry coats. Then, at the 2015 Met Gala, the industry's elite gathered on the red carpet, but Miley stood alone in a cutout Alexander Wang gown. It ended up on some "worst dressed" lists, but I think it was my favorite outfit of the night. It didn't seem like Miley was trying to appear sexy or edgy but just to look like herself.
So now, as outsiders speculate whether Miley and Liam are engaged, I can't help but to imagine her would-be bridal look. I doubt Miley Cyrus's wedding dress will be all white. It might be neon, a mix of colors, or come with an inflatable skirt. Miley might not wear a wedding dress at all, should she get married. Maybe she'll go naked. She recently revealed on the Today show that she prefers to stay out of the fashion conversation: "I don't want people to talk about what I'm wearing. That's usually why I don't wear too much," she said.
One thing's for sure: if Miley Cyrus gets married, her look won't include a ballgown so glamorous, everyone focuses on the pretty (or crazy!) details. They won't be talking about The Dress, because god knows it won't be wearing her. It'll be all about Miley. Read on to see why we know Miley will hit it out of the park on her special day.
The Immigrant-Led Clothing Brand You've Been Seeing All Over Instagram
Kids of Immigrants recently emerged as a celebrity-approved clothing brand. However, the story behind the brand is what has people talking. Following Donald Trump's election, Daniel Buezo and Weleh Dennis launched the brand as a medium for channeling their fears and frustrations into something creative. Now, the first-generation Americans from Honduras and Liberia, respectively, have amassed a notable following and plenty of celebrity clientele.
On the official website, the brand story states, "Kids of Immigrants is a movement to recognize that we are all cut from different fabrics but together make a whole," adding, "With their individual style and experiences, Buezo and Dennis aspire to showcase their culture by creating. Culture instilled by ingenuity and the will to make something out of nothing."
From a fashion perspective, Kids of Immigrants offers unique hoodies, sweaters, and perfectly worn-in t-shirts with prices ranging from $25 to $135. Many of the designs feature empowering slogans and words like "support your friends," "spread love," and "immigrants love." As of late, celebrities like Kehlani and Big Sean have supported the timely and socially conscious brand. Look ahead for pictures and more insight into Kids of Immigrants.

The 1 Thing Moms Consistently Forget to Take Care Of
My firstborn was about 18 months old when I cracked a filling. It wasn't really painful, but it was sensitive and annoying, so a few days later, I drove the two-and-a-half hours to my mom's neighborhood, where I'd made an appointment with my childhood dentist since I didn't have one in the town we'd moved to six months before. I also didn't have a general doctor and had only recently started researching ob-gyns because I was thinking about getting pregnant again. (Of course, I had found a pediatrician and a dentist for my daughter long before we unpacked a single box in our new home.)
I left my daughter with my mom and headed into the dentist, where the dental hygienist greeted me, looked at my records, and informed me it had been over two years since my last visit, just a few months before I got pregnant with my daughter. I had been so busy taking care of her, both in utero and in real life, that I had most definitely forgotten about myself.
Sound familiar? Among the moms in my life, it seems to be a recurring theme. We are all on top of our children's health, making them their weekly, monthly, then biyearly, then yearly well visits as they get older, running to the pediatrician any time they spike a fever or complain of an earache, taking them to the dentist every six months, and driving them to specialists to diagnose and fix any potential ailment. They are our charges, and it is our job to keep them well.
And in the process, we often completely forget about our own health. We might drag ourselves to urgent care when we realize that waiting out whatever we've come down with isn't working, and of course, we'll see our ob-gyn regularly in the years that we are trying to grow our families. But once we have them, those families take over our consciousness, and suddenly, it's been almost three years since you've been to a dentist.
If you are guilty of forgetting about your own health and wellness since you've become a mom, here are some simple steps to reprioritize yourself and why it's so important.
- Remember healthy meals and regular exercise are just as important for you as they are for your kids. You wouldn't feed your kids french fries and let them sit in front of the TV all day, every day (once a week tops, right?), so don't shortchange yourself when it comes to diet and exercise. Buy more strawberries and actually eat them instead of just saving them for your berry-obsessed toddler, and find an exercise program that you like (all the better if the gym has child care) so you'll stick with it.
- While you're healthy, find yourself a general practitioner, dentist, and any specialists you need that you actually like. Having a roster of healthcare providers makes it much easier to deal with any issue that comes up and means you'll be less likely to ignore a problem because of the added burden of finding a doctor that can help. Finding someone who meshes with your personality that you like and trust can take time, so start now.
- Set reminders in your phone to schedule regular well visits and checkups. After every dentist and doctor's appointment, I've learned that I need to either immediately schedule my next appointment or set a reminder in my phone a month or so before the next one is due. Otherwise, it might just slip my mind for years.
- Find ways to manage your stress. Motherhood is a tough job, and finding ways to bring your stress level down, whether it's reconnecting with friends, getting a monthly massage, or (shocker!) even going back to work part time, is important for maintaining your health, both physically and mentally.
- Remember your health also affects your partner and kids. When Mom's down for the count, everyone feels it. So by taking care of yourself, you actually are taking care of your whole family.

Kendall Jenner Channels a '90s Mom in the Trendiest Hoodie at Fashion Week
Vetements x Champion hoodies are all over Fashion Week. From New York to Paris, showgoers and models alike are being snapped in the cozy sweatshirts with exaggerated sleeves, cutouts, and run-off logo straps. But after the Fendi show, Kendall pulled out a tidier piece from the hit collaboration: a baby-pink cropped design. Kendall showed off her signature style in a look that screamed "'90s mom" thanks to high-waisted khaki trousers and a square chainstrap bag.
Spotting Kendall (or any of the Kardashian-Jenners) in Vetements x Champion isn't unusual. Perhaps that's because Kim, Kanye, and the rest of the family are good friends with Vetements designer Demna Gvasalia, and he just might have stocked their wardrobes. Besides, Khloé, Kourtney, Kylie, and Kendall seem to be maintaining a whole closet full of sweats these days, Kourtney keeping her own Champion x Urban Outfitters coordinates in steady rotation. Scroll for a look, then shop a bunch of their separates for yourself.

You Can Buy Straight From Fashion Week's Runways - Right This Way
Last Fashion Week, one of the biggest conversation starters was the see now, buy now show.

Instead of waiting an entire season to buy that It bag or top that caught your eye, customers could now buy it minutes after they saw it on the catwalk.

Rebecca Minkoff already released her Spring '17 line during a show in LA (in lieu of a show at New York Fashion Week), while H&M is following suit at Paris Fashion Week. Read on to see who's making their collections shoppable in real time so far. Then, stay tuned for more shoppable items from your favorite fashion houses all Fashion Month long.
This "Hello" Parody Video Is a Sepia-Toned Display of Mom-Life Realness
By now you should immediately be able to sense an Adele parody coming on when you spot a (now iconic) sepia-toned video pop up on your Facebook feed. Singer/songwriter Emily Mills's "Hello From the MotherSide" parody is no exception to the sepia rule, but it's definitely standing out to us among the rest due to its comical relatability (and her killer voice).
From her own personal mama woes ("I must've tried a thousand times to tell her this homework is really breaking my heart") to her understanding that her mom friends are down in the trenches with her ("Mama, how you been? I can tell you've been stress-eating from the Cheetos on your hands"), Emily has created a parody that will for sure resonate with every mother out there.
If you're on the MotherSide as well and "think you might break down and cry" basically all the time, watch the video and prepare to feel truly understood.

Here are 11 stages a Latina might experience over Easter Sunday.

Parents Be Warned: Your Baby Isn't Safe From a Sunburn While in the Shade
It was our first trip away with our firstborn. We drove a few hours south to spend a few much-needed days out of our house and in the fresh ocean air. As a first-time mom, I was prepared, or at least I thought I was. I had multiple options for shade during our beach day, an umbrella and even a Shade Shack. I brought a protective sun hat and dressed my baby in a onesie to keep him cool but covered.
He was just 8 weeks old, so heeding the warnings on the bottle and the advice I'd read online to forgo sunscreen use on children under 6 months old, I didn't apply any, leaving his face, bald head, and limbs mostly uncovered. When he fell asleep after a nursing session in the Shade Shack, I placed him on a towel under the umbrella so he would have plenty of cool airflow while he snoozed. He was completely in the shade with even a few feet of sunless space to spare all around him.
After weeks in the newborn baby haze, those hours at the beach were just what my husband and I needed. We left feeling refreshed and accomplished that we'd tackled our first sandy trip as parents. But shortly after we headed inside, we noticed that our baby's face was flush and his bald head was running hot. We chalked it up to the heat and kept him in the air conditioning. A few hours later it was obvious that the redness wasn't subsiding but actually getting worse. We didn't even consider that he'd gotten sunburned because he was in the shade the entire time!
Once I finally realized that a sunburn is indeed what had happened, I was, as you can imagine, in a first-time-mom panic. Not only did I feel all the guilt, but after a middle-of-the-night call with an advice nurse, I felt totally helpless. There really was nothing we could do but apply aloe and let it fade out on its own. It was my first experience with the devastating feeling that I'd failed as a mom. Even though I had been so conscious of the sun that day, I had no idea that UV rays could get to him while he was in the shade.
According to a study in JAMA Dermatology, umbrellas can't shield beachgoers from rays that bounce off the sand under the umbrella. They concluded that the best approach to sun protection involves multiple layers, such as clothing and sunscreen, in addition to shade. If I'd known this, you bet my son would've had his hat on and limbs covered inside the Shade Shake all day. Lesson learned.

We Guarantee You Missed This Hilarious Chrissy Teigen Moment at the Oscars
Image Source: Getty / Kevork Djansezian
Few people were having as much of a good time on the Oscars red carpet than Chrissy Teigen. In addition to flaunting her goals-worthy relationship with husband John Legend, the Twitter queen also finally met her celebrity crush Sunny Pawar. Apparently all the excitement tired her out, though. Once the show got going, there was a cut-away shot to Meryl Streep sitting in the audience, and although most eyes were on the 20-time Oscar nominee, something was up with a certain Sports Illustrated model in the background. The moment happened during Casey Affleck's acceptance speech for best actor, and it sure looks like Chrissy is taking a nap on John's shoulder. If we were constantly shutting down social media trolls, whipping up delicious meals, hanging with our adorable daughter, and tired of all these unfair wins in 2017, we'd probably want to take a quick snooze, too (for the record, she eventually woke up).

Creamy and spicy, soothing and warm - this delicious drink is more than just a tasty treat. Rich in electrolytes and digestive-aiding properties, your body is going to love every sip.
- Benefits of Turmeric: Turmeric's benefits are so good, one 2013 study said it's almost too good to be true. The anti-inflammatory spice has "shown therapeutic potential against a number of human diseases," including cancer and could even help with Alzheimer's. Because of the reduced inflammation, turmeric can also help with gas, bloating, and digestive discomfort, and some studies have mentioned its help with weight loss. Also, some studies and sites have shown that turmeric has antidepressant properties, leading to better moods, less stress, better sleep, and improved brain health.
- Benefits of Coconut Oil: Similarly, coconut oil can help with digestion and gut health, thanks to its antimicrobial properties (which come from good fatty acids, MCFAs). The healthy fats can also raise your good cholesterol, HDL.
- Benefits of Coconut Milk: Did you know that coconut milk can also help with digestion? It "nourishes the digestive lining" with natural electrolytes and healthy fats, which can improve gut health and help with IBS. Like turmeric, it can help reduce inflammation and even aid in weight loss. MCTs, another kind of fatty acid, are found in coconut milk and help with physical performance - allowing you to build muscle and lose fat.

Who Is Jordan Horowitz? Get to Know the Man Who Graciously Handled That Oscars Flub
This year's best picture win - and loss - at the Oscars will forever go down in infamy. While presenting the winner, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway pulled a Steve Harvey when they incorrectly named La La Land as the big winner of the night (Moonlight actually took home the honor). Even though it was painfully awkward to watch as the whole cast and crew was already on stage saying their thank yous, the film's producer handled the whole thing graciously as he stopped in the middle of his speech to announce the rightful winner. So, who exactly was the unspoken hero of the night?
His name is Jordan Horowitz (not to be confused with the film's writer Justin Hurwitz), and just like the rest of the production team, his success is starting at a young age. At only 36 years old, the NYC native, who is married to writer Julia Hart, already has a Golden Globe under his belt - and it's not for La La Land. In 2011, he nabbed best picture for a musical or comedy for The Kids Are All Right, starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. Even though he didn't win an Oscar this year, he is certainly gaining a lot of praise for how well he handled the incredibly awkward moment. "It was a difficult situation, there's no doubt about that," he told ET afterwards. "But listen, things get thrown at you and you've got to kind of roll with it. And as I said, I was deeply happy to be able to give it to those guys. It really . . . . I don't know. It's shocking, and I'm at a little bit of a loss for words."

Just How Many Black Actors Have Won an Oscar? The Number Is Disturbingly Low

The Oscars have been plagued by obvious race issues since they began in 1929, and things seemingly came to a head with the #OscarsSoWhite discussion a couple of years ago; the overwhelming lack of diversity in nominees in both 2015 and 2016 resulted in Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs taking bigger, more noticeable steps to double the number of diverse members in its voting body by 2020.
Nevertheless, a black actor (the incomparable Sidney Poitier) wasn't awarded until 1964, and it was only in 2002 that Halle Berry became the first black woman to win a best actress trophy. At this year's ceremony, Mahershala Ali and Viola Davis won for their supporting roles, adding to a pretty short list. So, just how many black actors have won Oscars over the years? Sixteen. A whopping sixteen distinguished, talented people in 89 years. Scroll through to see who they are and learn about the records they've broken.
1940, Hattie McDaniel
The Gone With the Wind star made history when she became the first African-American person to ever win an Oscar. The film's director, David O. Selznick, had to call in a special favor just to have McDaniel allowed into the building (the Ambassador Hotel, where the ceremony was held, did not allow black people), and instead of getting to sit with the rest of the cast and crew, she was escorted to a small table far away and against a wall, which is where she accepted her best supporting actress award.
1964, Sidney Poitier

Thanks to his stellar performance in Lilies of the Field, Poitier became the first black male to win an Oscar in general but also the best actor award.
1983, Louis Gossett Jr.
He is the first black male to win the best supporting actor award for his role in An Officer and a Gentleman.
1990 and 2002, Denzel Washington

Washington took home the best supporting actor trophy for Glory, making him the second black actor to do so. When he won his best actor Oscar for Training Day in 2002, Washington shared a powerful moment of solidarity with Sidney Poitier, who was given a Academy Honorary Award at the ceremony. Washington is the most nominated black actor in Oscars history with seven acting nods since 1987.
1991, Whoopi Goldberg
The comedian won best supporting actress for her role as Oda Mae Brown in Ghost, and the award was presented to her by Denzel Washington. She had been nominated once before for The Color Purple in 1986, making her the first African-American female to earn two acting nominations.
1997, Cuba Gooding Jr.

Yes, before he hit the small screen in The People vs. O.J. Simpson, Gooding won the best supporting actor award for Jerry Maguire. He was only 29 at the time, making him the youngest African-American male actor to win an Academy Award.
2002, Halle Berry
Berry's win for Monster's Ball marked the second time a black woman took home an Oscar and the first time two black actors won in leading role categories in the same year (Denzel Washington also won for Training Day). She gave a heartfelt, emotional speech that is memorable for its earnest homage to the women who came before her. "This moment is so much bigger than me," Berry told the crowd through tears. "This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened."
2005, Jamie Foxx
Foxx swept award season for his outstanding portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray, and his Oscar win added to the pile. He also became the first African-American actor to receive two acting nominations in the same year (he also scored a best supporting actor nod for Collateral).
2005, Morgan Freeman
After nabbing the best supporting actor award for Million Dollar Baby, Freeman became the oldest black actor to win an Oscar at 67 years old.
2007, Forest Whitaker
Whitaker beat out Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith when he won the best actor award for his role in The Last King of Scotland.
2007, Jennifer Hudson

Her performance in Dreamgirls nabbed Hudson a best supporting actress win at just 25 years old, making her the youngest African-American actor to win an Oscar. It also happened to be her first-ever movie role.
2010, Mo'Nique
The comedic actress surprised audiences with her very, very serious role in Precious, for which she won the best supporting actress award.
2012, Octavia Spencer
The actress, who is nominated this year for her role in Hidden Figures, won the best supporting actress award for The Help. The movie is the third to produce nominees for both best supporting and best actress (Viola Davis).
2014, Lupita Nyong'o

For her role as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, the Kenyan actress became the first black African to be nominated for an acting Oscar and win in any category. It also marked special significance for being Nyong'o's first major movie role.
2017, Mahershala Ali
Two years after #OscarsSoWhite made headlines, Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar thanks to his stellar performance in Moonlight. He is also the eighth black actor to win an Academy Award.
2017, Viola Davis

Viola Davis won the best supporting actress award for Fences, becoming only the seventh black woman to receive the honor. She is also the first black woman to be nominated for three Oscars.
