If Adele Ever Wins an Emmy and a Tony, She'll Join a Rare and Impressive Hollywood Club
Winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, or a Tony is nice and all, but what if you win all four? Scoring an elusive EGOT is a feat that only 12 people in Hollywood have been able to pull off so far: Audrey Hepburn, Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Jonathan Tunick, Marvin Hamlisch, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Lopez, and Scott Rudin. Could Adele be next? Maybe.
There are quite a few people, like Denzel Washington and Kate Winslet, who are close to taking home the so-called "grand slam" of show business, and Adele is one of them. Unless you've been living under a rock since 2009, you know she's made a habit of sweeping the Grammys every year she puts out an album (and sometimes even when she doesn't, in one case). So far she has 15 under her belt, as well as one Oscar for "Skyfall," her song on the James Bond film's soundtrack in 2014. If she can somehow win an Emmy and a Tony, she'll be lucky number 13 on the list.
Now the real question is: how likely is it that she'll be able to win an Emmy and a Tony? Adele hasn't shown any interest in acting so far (unless you count her recent role as "Crazy Woman at Jamba Juice"), but both award shows have categories that where her musical brilliance could shine. For instance, the Creative Arts Emmys has an outstanding original music and lyrics category, and we could totally see her going the route of Elton John one day and scoring a Tony Award-winning musical. Only time will tell, but if Adele has proved anything throughout her career, it's that there's nothing she (and her vocal chords) can't do.

Jennifer Lopez isn't wasting any time - she's hitting every red carpet and stepping out to run errands in outfits worthy of your attention.
We're only a few days into the year, and she's already giving us plenty to think about. For example, has her style gotten more demure? No, seriously, is this the year J Lo chooses high necklines and classic items like pussy-bow blouses instead of lots of cleavage? Only time will tell, but it looks like so far the singer, actress, and producer is switching things up and keeping us on our toes. Scroll ahead to see her best outfits this year so far.
Parents should know 'there are options' in Canada for cerebral palsy surgery, father says
A Toronto father whose son had surgery to treat his cerebral palsy says the procedure is readily available here in Canada and parents should make sure which operation is right for their child before heading to the U.S to have it done at a much higher cost.

The Cast of Moonlight Strips Down and Shows Skin For a Calvin Klein Underwear Campaign
Hot on the heels of their big night at the Oscars, the male cast members of Moonlight star in Calvin Klein's new men's underwear campaign.

Mahershala, for his part, was photographed peeling off a t-shirt (and we are not worthy). Check out the photos ahead now.

Look Back at Brooklyn Beckham's Stylish and Brilliant Burberry Campaign
Brooklyn Beckham might have the modeling chops you expected, given his good looks and the fact that he was raised by stylish designer Victoria Beckham. But while his younger brother Romeo Beckham poses in front of the camera for Burberry, Brooklyn took the brand's Summer 2016 campaign into his own hands - literally.
The 18-year-old played photographer for Burberry Brit's ads, snapping fresh pics of models Ben Rees, Lewis Helim, Todd Dorigo, Eliza Thomas, Liv Mason Pearson, Maddie Demaine, Carvell Conduah, and Harry Pourdjis both on the streets of London and in a skate park. The shoot was documented live on Snapchat, and Brooklyn even shared some black-and-white BTS shots on Instagram.
One look through the stunning reel of photographs ahead, and you can rest assured that Brooklyn's got his own eye for style and quite a knack for capturing it! Read on to see the outcome of the Burberry fragrance campaign, as well as Brooklyn's 'grams from set day.
Do the New Vanilla Cupcake M&M's Taste as Good as They Sound? Let's Discuss
We basically had a meltdown when we learned Vanilla Cupcake M&M's were the latest limited-edition flavor available at Target, so we had high expectations when we got our hands on a purple bag. Would they really taste like a cupcake? And would they be even better than the last stellar flavor, White Cheesecake M&M's? Read ahead to see some firsthand reviews from M&M's enthusiasts in the POPSUGAR office.
- "They taste like Baskin Robbins frosting!"
- "Too sweet - yuck."
- "They really do have a vanilla flavor."
- "VERY sweet. A little overpowering but good for a frosting craving."
Overall, we have to say we prefer the White Cheesecake flavor, as the cupcake flavoring is a little artificial (but hey, the package warned us of that, didn't it?). While we might not want to snack on a whole bag of these on their own, we have a feeling they would go perfectly as the pastel topping to an actual vanilla frosted cupcake.
The Internet Loves This GE Ad About Treating Female Scientists as Celebrities
While the Oscars aren't as known for their commercials as the Super Bowl is, one ad had the internet in tears. General Electric's ad asked what the world look like if we treated female scientists, such as the late, renowned Millie Dresselhaus, like celebrities? Of course, we'd see their faces everywhere.
The ad shows little girls receiving dolls of Millie, celebrating a Millie Dresselhaus Day, using Millie emoji, and seeing young girls aspire to be scientists. GE reveals that their goal is to have 20,000 women in tech roles by 2020 and showcases some of the women in its company.
The internet was amazed by the ad and absolutely loved it.
That GE ad made me cry happy tears. #Oscars

Absolutely loved the GE ad about recognizing (women) scientists like celebrities....aired during the middle of the Oscars broadcast no less
- Afshawn Chakamian (@afshawn) February 27, 2017
Millie Dresselhaus, dubbed the "Queen of Carbon" for her work on carbon properties, died on Feb. 20 at the age of 86. The ad only captures a fraction of the legacy Dresselhaus leaves behind.
Justin Timberlake Danced With Celebs at His Oscars Performance, and It Got Awkward
In one of the most joyous Oscars openings in recent years, Justin Timberlake danced his way around the Dolby Theatre in LA on Sunday night while singing his Oscar-nominated "Can't Stop the Feeling." After breaking it down on stage, the professional photobomber moved to the celebrity-packed audience to get them to join in the fun. Although Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry were happy to show off their moves, there were a few who were a little, shall we say, hesitant (*cough* Ryan Gosling *cough*). Hey, at least he got a kiss out of wife Jessica Biel for his efforts!

How to Get a Taste of the Best New Snacks Before Anyone Else, Straight From an Expert
Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Nicole Perry
Do you ever wonder who spots the craziest new junk foods, like Firework Oreos and Twinkies ice cream, on store shelves before anyone else? Turns out, there's a whole community of junk-food hunters who constantly deliver the buzziest new products to their eager followers, including established Instagram accounts like The Junk Food Aisle.
A few years ago, the Chicago-based blogger became obsessed with the idea of being the first to try the best and biggest new products before the rest of the world caught up. "With each new release it was always, "How can I get my hands on these ASAP? The real inspiration to finally sit down and make my own junk food news site came when I was introduced to the Sweets & Snacks Expo here in Chicago. After some digging I found that a media pass would be my best way in, and from there I really started to figure out what a junk food blog of my own would look like. The result was The Junk Food Aisle."
Oreo addicts that we are, POPSUGAR Food editors reached out to the anonymous person behind the ingenious Instagram account to find out the expert's secrets. Are all those photos real? How does someone manage to find the most head-turning packaged foods before anyone else? Any tips for other like-minded snack aficionados? Discover all that and more, ahead.
Look everywhere - including multiple stores.
If you strike out at one store, that doesn't mean a second store won't have what you're looking for. The key is to look carefully every time you shop, because you never know what you'll find. The Instagram expert says, "At this point, with my page, I can't just stop in a grocery to pick up milk, I first have to take a lap down each aisle and see if any new products catch my eye. It also helps to know that no two stores are the same. Just because one Walmart doesn't have any new Pringles flavors doesn't mean the Walmart two miles away won't."

Don't underestimate the power of a hashtag.
When in doubt, search your favorite brands on social to see if there are any sneak-peek announcements. "Social media and the internet in general are great resources, too - both for finding out what products are coming out and also just in helping to know where to look for certain things. It's just a matter of knowing where to look online, following junk food accounts like mine, and checking product hashtags on Instagram to know what's out there and where."
Keep an eye on the most innovative brands.
With so many new products flooding snack shelves, there's got to be at least one brand standing out from all the rest. In the Junk Food Aisle's opinion, "Hostess has a lot going on right now, between their new snacks like the Chocolate Cake Twinkie and their new ice creams and frozen dessert offerings. They've unloaded a lot of cool new ideas in the past month or two."
Some of the other most popular brands among the Junk Food Aisle's followers are Kit Kat and Reese's. "Tic Tacs do surprisingly well, too," the blogger admits.
But the ultimate leader? Oreo - no surprise there. "Oreo once again is the leader of the pack here in my mind. Swedish Fish Oreos? That's such an outside-the-box idea, and even though a lot of people thought they were gross they certainly got everyone talking. I think it's great they would try something different like that and I hope they continue to. In addition to new flavors, we've also recently seen new products like Oreo Churros, Oreo Eggs, and the candy bars. I'm always excited to see what they come up with next!"
Same, Junk Food Aisle. Same.
Here's the Secret to Raising a Safe, Smart Kid
How to be hands-on without setting too many limits, from our friends at Common Sense Media.
When it comes to parenting frustrations, nothing beats the challenges of setting screen limits, picking appropriate media, and figuring out Snapchat. We're raising "digital natives" but we're supposed to be the experts? Actually, no. It turns out, the most effective way to help your kid have a healthy relationship to media is by being their media mentor.
Many of us think we need to have all the answers. Or we just stick our heads in the sand and hope for the best. But, as so often happens, the middle road is juuuuust right. Researcher Alexandra Samuel surveyed 10,000 North American families and found that some parents put strict limits on what their kids could watch or play ("limiters"), especially when they're young, while others (especially parents of teens) let their kids control screen time and embrace the idea that more tech is good tech ("enablers").
But about a third of the parents -- whom she calls "media mentors" -- consistently engaged in media with their kids, despite their ages, and these kids had better outcomes. Kids of media mentors were less likely to access porn, chat online with a stranger, and impersonate an adult or peer online. Exactly what you're hoping for as a parent, right?
So what does it take to be a "media mentor"? Here are the steps:
Talk about media and tech
Here's where most parents are #winning. In the 2015 Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens, 87 percent of tweens reported that their parents regularly discussed Internet safety. These conversations can include everything from stranger danger to creating strong passwords and should be empowering rather than scary.
Play, watch, learn together
Media mentors play video games, watch movies, and download apps with their kids. They share their favorite YouTube videos and explore new music together. It's not all the time, of course -- who has time for that? -- but staying engaged and showing interest breeds comfort and camaraderie.
Teach new skills
Kids with tech-savvy parents have some advantages when getting up to speed on digital life. They can introduce kids to specialized websites and explain the ins and outs of Instagram. But that doesn't mean the rest of us have nothing to offer. Parents can show kids -- especially young ones -- how to use a mouse, do a Google search, charge a device, and so on. Children's librarians are another tech resource, too.
Follow their interests
You know what your kid is into -- whether it's dinosaurs, Minecraft, or Taylor Swift -- and you can use these interests to support positive engagement with media and tech. Find cool dinosaur apps, sign your kid up for a Minecraft coding camp, or take a digital music-making class together.
Do your research
High-quality content makes a difference in how kids interact with media. Parents who seek out good content by checking reviews, surveying friends, and exploring content themselves expose kids to better stuff.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Were Actually Dating Other People When They First Met
It's hard to imagine a world without Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's love. They're so picture-perfect together and we can't get enough of their sweet family, but they were actually dating other people when they first met. In 2010, the two played love interests in Green Lantern, and although they became fast friends on set, nothing developed romantically at the time as Blake was dating her Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley and Ryan was married to Scarlett Johansson.
Fast-forward a year later and Blake was single and Ryan had just finalized his divorce. Even though the actress dated a few A-listers in between her breakup with Penn (hello, Leonardo DiCaprio), sparks really flew when she and Ryan went on a double date - with other people! "She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl," Ryan recalled. "That was the most awkward date [from their perspective] probably because we were just like fireworks coming across." And the rest is history!

The Vampire Diaries Just Left Things on a Serious Cliffhanger and Fans are Pissed
Well, it's that time folks. The Vampire Diaries has only one episode left before it says goodbye . . . forever. While we certainly have a lot to look forward to next week - including the return of Nina Dobrev as Elena AND Katherine - there is also a lot of heartache in store. On Friday's episode, Stefan and Caroline finally tie the knot, but it's what happens after the ceremony that really left us on the edge of our seats.
After saying their "I dos" without any interruption from the big, bad Katherine Pierce, the happy couple makes their way to the reception where they are joined by their closest friends (and a few dozen compelled Mystic Falls residents). Everything seems to be all roses until Matt Donavan's mom gets up to make a grand speech. Apparently, she has been dead this whole time, and has made a deal with the new devil to raise some hell . . . literally.
During a heart-to-heart with Damon and her son, she reveals that Katherine plans to bring the down entire town by ringing the Maxwell Bell and causing hell on earth. And she's not alone. Since she needs a Maxwell descendant to complete the dirty deed, she got a little help - from Vicki Donovan. That's right. This whole time we thought it had been Katherine prancing around Mystic Falls, it has actually been Matt's dead sister.
As Vicki rings the bell, Bonnie and Stefan finally come face-to-face (after he, you know, had killed the love of her life) and that's when things really go haywire. Even though Bonnie manages to escape a seething fire with her rediscovered magic, her head starts pounding when the mystical bell rings. Suddenly, Bonnie faints and the last image we see is her lying lifeless on the floor, blood dripping down her nose. Is this how Elena wakes up from her sleeping curse? After eight seasons of Bonnie putting everyone else's happiness before her own, we have to admit, we would be PISSED if she's the main character that dies. While her fate seems to be hanging in the balance, one of the promo pictures shows Bonnie and Caroline coming face-to-face, so she may be OK. What are you doing to us Julie Plec?

Trust Us, This Badass Quote Will Be Your New Mantra
Taking care of yourself is easier said than done. So often we put our prescribed roles first, whether that be mother, sister, partner, or friend. We're so busy striving to be the best at each of these things, it's easy to neglect ourselves in the process.
During a recent Adidas women's panel I attended, I was reminded of how important it is to think of your own well-being and to do this often. As Robin Arzon - Adidas ambassador, ultramarathoner, and Peloton instructor - passionately told us, "Self-care is the most selfless act you can do for everyone who encounters your energy. You are going to be a better sister, a better partner, and better co-worker."
As Robin put this thought out to us, it became clear to everyone listening that you can't come close to being great in any role if you forget yourself in the process. Self-care is not an indulgence or something to feel guilty about - it's a necessary action for being and feeling our best. And as women, we shouldn't have to make any apologies for this. Be OK with posting a post-workout selfie. Be unapologetic about wearing your workout gear all the time. And don't feel the need to defend the time you take for yourself at the gym, meal prepping, or meditating.
And in those moments that the guilt creeps in or you find it hard to justify "the luxury" to yourself, remember this mantra that Robin shared with us: "You are the CEO of your body and you should be boss about that sh*t."
It's a thought I've come back to several times since that day and what has pushed me through workouts where I feel like giving up, or worst, where I beat myself up for not being somewhere else. Think of the kind of #girlboss you want for yourself or the kind you would want to be to someone else. Now say to yourself, "I am the CEO of my body and I'm going to be boss about that sh*t."

You're 3 Ingredients Away From Clearer, Brighter Skin
While we love testing the hottest masks and skin care treatments on the market, nothing can beat a no-frills DIY. If you're struggling with a dull, blemish-prone complexion, whip up an aspirin mask. The effective ingredient in aspirin is chemically similar to salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate skin. Just mix the over-the-counter medicine with three ingredients (you already have them!) for an affordable treatment that really works. Use it as a resurfacing paste, or leave it on for about five minutes as a mask. No matter how you use it, you'll see clearer, softer, more radiant skin.
You will need:
- Four or five uncoated, plain aspirin pills (Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, and the like won't work)
- A tablespoon or two of lukewarm water
- Honey or plain yogurt (optional)
Directions:
Mix the aspirin with just enough water to make a paste. If you want a thicker mask, then add a dollop of honey; if you prefer a more soothing mask, then some plain yogurt can do the trick. Apply the mask in a thin layer on your face, then allow it to dry. Remove it with warm water, rinsing away the mask in gentle circular motions.
Please note: Some people are allergic to aspirin, so try a patch test on your forearm before spreading this all over your face.
