After a Young Boy Stole Her Wind Chime, This Woman Received a Sad Note About Loss
If someone steals something from your home you'd likely be angry and totally pissed off, but not Chrissy Reitz. Chrissy took to Facebook to share a note she found on her door along with a $5 bill from a young boy, who explained that he stole her wind chime. But she didn't care about the wind chime - Chrissy posted the letter because she wants to find this sweet boy, give him his money back, and give his siblings another identical wind chime.
"I am sorry that we stole your wind chime," the note reads. "Our mom died and liked butterflies so my sister took it to put by our window. I am sorry this is [the] only money I have. Please do not be mad at us. Jake."
Chrissy explained on Facebook that she lost her mother at just 5 years old, and knows how hard it can be. The Washington mom-of-five is asking Jake to return to her home so she can give him his money back and let him know that it is OK he took it, that she's not mad. She's on a mission to find the young boy and his sister and has asked her Facebook network for any tips.

After Will & Grace had a mini reunion ahead of the presidential election in November, fans freaked out about having our favorite foursome - Will Truman, Grace Adler, Jack McFarland, and Karen Walker - back together again. People immediately wanted more, and our dreams came true in January when it was confirmed that the beloved TV show is being revived for 10 episodes. While we don't know too much about what will go down in the reboot, we have been treated to a few small glimpses of the stars on set. In addition to Sean Hayes sharing an Instagram photo of him, Megan Mullally, and Eric McCormack on set in February, Eric also shared a similar shot on Twitter on Sunday. In the snap, the four main characters smile while taking a selfie, with Karen's infamous hairdo back in full force. "Spent the last 3 days with these loons & boy, are my arms tired. @DebraMessing @SeanHayes @MeganOMullally #Will&Grace," Eric wrote. Let's just hope nobody pulls the piece off of Karen's head this time . . .
The Simple Reason Prince William Won't Be Visiting Princess Diana's Death Site During His Paris Trip
Prince William and Kate Middleton will embark on a two-day trip to Paris on March 17. While it hits particularly close to home given the fact that it's the same city where Princess Diana died in a tragic car accident nearly 20 years ago, the royal couple will not be making any public visits to any of the locations associated with her death. Will and Kate have been sent to the French capital by the British Foreign Office to build a relationship between Britain and France just as their country is gearing up to leave the European Union after last year's Brexit vote. The focus of their trip is more about shaking hands rather than remembrance. They will then follow up their Paris trip with a tour of Germany and Poland in July. No word on whether Princess Charlotte or Prince George will join them.

Is Social Media Making Fashion Week Obsolete?
s
Over the past five years, the rise of social media has caused a major shift in the fashion industry, and especially during Fashion Week. Social media has lifted the curtain on a once-exclusive tradition that was shrouded in mystery. Some might even argue that it was the enormous influx of social media posts that caused the see-now, buy-now paradigm shift. From models Snapchatting behind the scenes before shows even start to designers prereleasing looks - and even whole collections - on Instagram, now more than ever, Fashion Month can really be experienced by anyone with a smartphone.
The concept of see-now, buy-now fashion may seem obvious to some, but this straight-to-market model is a major shakeup for Fashion Week. In times past, designers would show collections that would only become available months later. Buyers would attend the shows and decide what pieces would later be carried in their stores. Social media changed all of this. With editors and bloggers posting runway photos to feeds on Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, people started to want what they saw immediately.
Industry giants like Tom Ford and Burberry are abandoning the old schedule in favor of allowing customers to instantly purchase what they see on the runway. The reasoning is clear: the industry has changed to be incredibly fast-paced and social media driven. Designers and retailers know they must adapt to survive.
Another side effect the social media wave has had on Fashion Week is the unique behind-the-scenes view that social platforms have to offer. Now Fashion Week is as much about models Snapchatting before a show as it is about the actual runway. Designers and magazines alike are vying to get the It model of the moment to take over their accounts for the hours leading up to the show. Fashion media consumers are just as if not more interested in what Taylor Hill looks like getting her makeup done than what she looks like on the runway.
Social media has made Fashion Week far more accessible. Before Snapchat and Instagram, there were substantial barriers to being a part of the action. Participating in Fashion Week as a nonindustry person meant buying a magazine, looking at a few runway shots, and reading reviews. Now bloggers harness social media to make Fashion Week digestible. Who wouldn't want to watch the Delpozo collection through Chiara Ferragni's front-row eyes?
So, is social media ruining the magic of Fashion Week? I say no. See now, buy now makes more sense for consumers and is proving to pump new life into previously struggling brands (most pieces from the Gigi x Tommy collab sold out in 24 hours). Furthermore, the BTS view that social media is giving the average person is nothing short of remarkable. Sure, you may be stuck on the bus or in line at Starbucks, but one scroll through Instagram and you're sitting front row at Gucci. Social media has given the fashion industry a much-needed shakeup. Thanks, Instagram!
The First Look at Ewan McGregor in Fargo Season 3 Is Not What We Expected
It's been so long since Fargo's second season wrapped that you may have forgotten all about FX's crime drama, but big news has been trickling in for months now about season three. Last year, we learned that Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor, and Leftovers star Carrie Coon all joined the cast. And now, we even have an official premiere date and several teasers! Hopefully we'll get even more even more details in the coming months, but for now, here's what we do know about the third season.
We'll Only Shop For Groceries in This Hello Kitty Supermarket From Now On
A Hong Kong supermarket is turning grocery shopping into an unbearably adorable experience with its Hello Kitty pop-up. The delightful shop will be officially open for business - operating within Sai Wan's Yata Supermarket - from Feb. 12 to May 31.
The pop-up offers desserts, dry grocery items, home decor products, and general merchandise all inspired by the beloved Sanrio character. In addition, all of the shopping bags and carts will reflect the same theme, turning it into a truly immersive experience. Preview pictures reveal that the limited-edition popcorn and light-up cotton candy are hot commodities. It can also be expected that Hello Kitty herself will be stopping by the store from time to time.
According to the South China Morning Post, the pop-up could be an attempt to boost Hong Kong's struggling retail sector. We have a feeling the Instagram-ready supermarket will certainly be a step in the right direction.
Ahead, we've rounded up pictures of the pop-up, as well as a behind-the-scenes video of its construction.

8 Things You Don't Know About Aldi, Straight From an Insider Employee
We reached out to an Aldi spokeswoman, Liz Ruggles, to find out the answers to our burning questions. How is it possible that everything is so cheap?! Turns out, there's a good reason for that and for the mandatory quarter per cart . . . oh, and for the self-bagging, too. Curious about the behind the scenes of one of the most budget-friendly grocery stores in America, one that attracts 32 million customers each month? Read ahead to get the scoop.
There's a reason prices are so low.
"We're obsessed with value, and by taking a simple approach to grocery shopping, we're able to keep our costs down. We don't have hidden expenses because we choose to save shoppers money rather than have nonessential grocery store services like in-store banking, pharmacies, and check cashing. We also skip the fancy shelving and keep our products right in their display boxes, which saves us (and our shoppers) time and money. We are dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment. So we ask our shoppers to bring their own reusable grocery bags or buy a few at checkout to use for all their trips to Aldi. At our stores, shoppers also pack their own groceries to keep our checkout lines moving."
There's a strategy behind the mandatory purchase of a cart for a quarter.
"Shoppers deposit a quarter to use a cart at our stores, and when they return the cart to the corral, they get their quarter back. This saves everyone money because our staff can focus on serving shoppers inside the store instead of collecting the carts from outside of the store. For many people, this becomes an opportunity to pay it forward. Our shoppers will often just pass their cart onto the next shopper, instead of returning it to the corral."
Aldi has in-house test kitchen chefs.
"We have in-house taste testers, aka our Aldi Test Kitchen Chefs. Our chefs hit pause on developing recipes at least twice a year to taste the quality of our products before they hit the shelves - every single Aldi product. They want to make sure our brands are as good, if not better, than the national brands."
You can return any Aldi-exclusive product for a full refund.
"We're so confident in the quality of our products that we offer a double guarantee, which means if for any reason customers don't like an Aldi-exclusive brand product, we'll give them their money back and replace the item."
Aldi donates expired foods.
"Each of our divisions has the option to contribute to local charities, donate product to causes in their areas, and encourage employees to volunteer with local community organizations. In 2015, we also grew our partnership with Feeding America to make it easier for our stores to donate expired or lightly damaged product to food banks in our communities."
The best way to save money is to buy Aldi-exclusive brands.
"Smart shoppers have found that switching from national brands to Aldi-exclusive brands can save them up to 50 percent on their grocery bill. We also have Aldi Finds - these premium food and household products are only in stores for a limited time. Product variety depends on the season, and there's usually a theme for the week's Finds. For example, starting Dec. 7, we have some great gift options."
Fresh produce is among the bestselling products.
"In 2015, our top selling products included staple items such as eggs, milk, and butter, as well as our fresh produce items such as strawberries, bananas, grapes, and oranges. Additionally, with our Never Any! product line, we offer fresh meat that never contains added antibiotics, hormones, or animal byproducts."
There's no MSG, artificial coloring, or hydrogenated oil in Aldi's products.
"Aldi got rid of added MSG, certified synthetic colors, and partially hydrogenated oils from all of our exclusive brand food products. And more than 90 percent of the products on our shelves are under our exclusive brands."

When Was the Last Time We Saw Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries?
The Vampire Diaries is bringing back a lot of familiar faces for its series finale, but we're most excited about the return of Elena Gilbert. Since Nina Dobrev famously left the show at the end of season six, A LOT has changed. Over the past two seasons, the group has battled heretics, vampire huntresses, crazy sirens, and now, they've even come face to face with the devil himself. While Elena will certainly have a rude awakening (pun intended) when she comes out of her sleeping curse, we can't help but think about her last appearance on the show. As you gear up for the finale, refresh your memory here.
The last time we saw Elena was in the season six finale, well, technically - but we'll get to that in a minute. After taking the cure and becoming human again, Elena attends Alaric and Jo's wedding as a bridesmaid. Much to her dismay (and everyone else in attendance at the ceremony), Kai shows up to cause chaos for the Gemini coven. As payback for Bonnie leaving him alone in the 1903 Prison World, he decides to link her life with Elena's, where the latter will remain in a sleeping curse until Bonnie dies. Unwilling to let anyone else risk their life for hers (and because Dobrev was leaving the show, of course), Elena says her final goodbyes to her loved ones. And so the sixth season ends with Elena tucked away in the Salvatore crypt where she will stay for the next 60-something years.
Fast-forward to season seven - literally, because there's a three-year time jump - things start to go haywire. Not only does Lily, aka Mama Salvatore, wreck havoc with her annoying heretics, but by the end of the season, there is a new mysterious evil looming in the Armory's occult vault. Even though Damon was warned about not going inside, when he hears Elena's voice, his emotions get the best of him. Of course, that voice is actually an illusion by the siren Sybil, who ends up using Damon and Enzo for her own evil doing throughout season eight.
While Elena is currently under a sleeping curse, she has appeared in multiple episodes this season through flashbacks, but that's just the beginning. As the show prepares for its final episode, she will be back - in the flesh - to say one last goodbye. Not only does the teaser show her reuniting with Stefan, but Julie Plec also revealed that she will come face to face with her true love, Damon. Of course, there is just one downside to her return. She will be attending the funeral of a major character. Even though we're not ready to let go, we can already tell Elena Gilbert's return is going to be epic.
You Will Cry Laughing Watching Melissa McCarthy Pretend She’s on Chopped
Melissa McCarthy stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote her latest comedy, The Boss, and things took a hilarious turn when a Chopped spoof happened. Colbert wanted to know what Melissa and her husband, Ben Falcone, watch at home with their children, and she said, "Chopped . . . I would love to be on it." In order to fit in the alotted time, Colbert said, "we'd have to take everything and smoosh it down," and with that, Smooshed was born.
Colbert gives his best Ted Allen impression when he introduces the basket ingredients - salted crackers, minimarshmallows, and bacon bits - and offers up the pantry ingredients, saying, "Also available is our pantry, which is whatever we could find in the breakroom fridge." With one minute on the clock, Melissa and Ben do their best panic-mode cooking and whip up some . . . interesting dishes. "I'm working on a sweet and savory," Melissa said, and I'll just say there's bologna, peanut butter, and pickles involved. "Mine is a rustic hash. Tuscan-influenced - I played with crunchy, sweet, savory, and meaty," she said. Watch the hilarious video to see the results for yourself; you'll want to gag and cry tears of laughter at the same time.
How Could Jar Jar Binks and Supreme Leader Snoke Be Connected? Mesa Explain
After the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it seemed the internet at large was buzzing about the two biggest unanswered questions. The first is a classic Star Wars mystery. Much like we didn't know the identity of Luke Skywalker's parents in Star Wars: A New Hope - we didn't find out Darth Vader was his father until the end of The Empire Strikes Back - we similarly wonder about who Rey's parents are ahead of Episode VIII. But there's an even bigger mystery to consider: the newest trilogy of films has introduced a menacing and powerful new villain called Supreme Leader Snoke.
The most perplexing thing about Snoke is that he seems like a new addition to the Star Wars universe, but avid fans of the films know there's nothing like a shocking reveal. This has led to many theories about the villain. Some believe Snoke could be one of "the Last Jedi" mentioned in Episode VIII's official title. Others think a previous character like the presumably dead Mace Windu or the menacing Darth Maul could have gone on to become the big bad. But the most unfortunate addition to the pool has been Jar Jar Binks.
Yes. Jar Jar Binks. The foolish, implicitly racist sidekick in the first trilogy. It all started more than a year ago, when Reddit user Lumparwarroo posted a wild theory about the character that suggested he was a highly skilled Force user and Sith collaborator who had conspired with Emperor Palpatine himself. While this theory concludes that Jar Jar Binks goes on to become Supreme Leader Snoke, a new revelation supports an even crazier hypothesis: that Jar Jar Binks is the Sith master who finds a young boy and molds him into the evil supervillain we meet in The Force Awakens. This would mean that Jar Jar Binks is not Supreme Leader Snoke but is instead even more powerful than him. Are you ready to plunge deeper into the madness?
Beginning in 2015, Star Wars began publishing a new book trilogy called Aftermath. The three books would go over everything that happens between The Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) and The Force Awakens (Episode VII). It's kind like how Rogue One ends up connecting Revenge of the Sith (Episode III) and A New Hope (Episode IV), but I digress. The third installment of the Aftermath trilogy is called Empire's End, and it was just released at the end of February. At the end of this novel, though, we unexpectedly learn the fate of Jar Jar Binks. He's a street clown who performs for little children, banished by the Gungan race.
In this part, a young boy approaches Jar Jar Binks and asks why no one calls him by name and why no one will talk to him. "Mesa Jar Jar," he says, then, "Jar Jar makin some uh-oh mistakens. Big mistakens. Der Gunga bosses banished me longo ago. Mesa no been to home in for-ebbers." Here's the interesting part: the book describes this young boy as a "disfigured orphan" whose "scar tissue runs up from his jaw, over the hole that used to be his ear, and to the scalp." Fans of The Force Awakens will remember how deformed Snoke appears, with a messed-up ear and a deep forehead scar to boot. Jar Jar then offers to "teach" the young boy: "My teachin yousa, pallo. Wesa maken the whole galaxy smilin, huh?"
Of course, it's possible Jar Jar was only ever a fool and is merely taking a young orphan under his wing. For all we know, the fallen character will just teach his young companion how to do simple circus tricks. However, if you believe the Reddit theory that Jar Jar Binks truly is a Force master and Sith collaborator, it casts a whole new light on this scene. Maybe the Gungans banished him because he was a Sith collaborator. Maybe he's lying low until he sees an opportunity to strike again. And maybe this young, deformed orphan boy has a dark power within that will eventually turn him into Supreme Leader Snoke. Could it be? Could Jar Jar return to the franchise in The Last Jedi? The answer is not a resounding no.

7 Irrational Parenting Fears You Should Let Go Of Now!
Parenting is a landmine full of anxiety triggers and no matter how old your kid is, those triggers will always be there, no matter how irrational they may be. We're all slightly terrified that our newborns are going to roll over in their sleep and suffocate themselves, that our grade schoolers will get lost or abducted on the half-block walk from the bus stop to home, that our teens will . . . well, that list is so endless that we're not even going there.
With so many real issues in the world today, it's time we let go of the unnecessary fears we all harbor as the human beings responsible for our precious offspring. Here are seven common parenting concerns you should give up today.
Dealing With Anxiety as a Mom
- During pregnancy: I won't bond with my baby. No matter how much you love or hate pregnancy, how disconnected from or close to your own parents you are, and how overwhelmed or excited you are by the prospect of becoming a mother, I guarantee you will eventually bond with your baby. It might not happen immediately, but it will happen, and even before it does, you'll still feel a hardwired urge to care for and protect the tiny creature.
- During pregnancy: I won't be as good of a mother as my own was. This one was big for me because my mom is pretty much a saint and my favorite person on the planet. At 13, I wrote in my diary that she was my best friend. What 13-year-old girl says that about her mother? She's the toughest act to follow, but after becoming a mom myself, I realized I didn't have to. I am a different person, and therefore a different, but equally good, parent.
- Newborn stage: I will never sleep through the night or have time for myself again. There's a reason why so many of us can barely remember our child's newborn stage: It's like a sleep-deprived trauma we've purposely blocked out. But it's also just a stage. Your child will eventually sleep more, your arms won't always be filled with a baby, and you might even miss it. I mean, I don't, but you might.
- Newborn stage: My baby will suffocate, stop breathing, or suffer some other spontaneous death that I could have prevented. Of course, we want to protect our babies and put them in the safest environments possible, but after you do that, you've got to give this one up. Babies, however small and fragile they might look, are actually pretty sturdy, and that doctor-approved sleeping environment you're putting them in isn't a death trap.
- Toddler stage: My child will cause themselves grave injury unless I watch him constantly. Most toddlers seem to lack the self-preservation gene, running into traffic, climbing every possible surface, and putting anything they can in their mouths. So, yes, they need supervision, but they're also fast as hell and destined to have a few scrapes and bruises, so don't beat yourself up about them. They all heal.
- Grade-school stage: My kid will get abducted, lost, or otherwise harmed while I'm away from them. Modern parenting has pretty much abandoned the free-range kid (I mean, my grandma kicked my elementary school-aged mom out of the house at 8 a.m. and rang a bell to call her in for dinner nine hours later, and she had only a vague notion of where she was all that time), but once your kid enters school, there will be times when you won't know where they are. They will survive on the walk from the bus to the classroom, and they'll make it to your neighbor's house two doors down for that play date. Giving them a longer leash not only makes your life easier, it gives them a sense of independence and confidence.
- Eternally: I am irrevocably screwing up my kid. This one is inescapable, but you're probably not, at least not more than any other parent on the planet. But maybe save up for a few therapy sessions anyway.
Everything You Should Know About Wine-Infused Coffee, the Hybrid of Your Dreams
On particularly rough mornings, we're often faced with a tough choice: coffee or wine? And thanks to a new, wine-infused coffee from a Napa Valley company, we can have the best of both worlds without being judged. What exactly is wine-infused coffee? The Molinari Private Reserve makes wine-infused coffee ($20 for a half-pound bag) by letting coffee beans sit in a bath of red wine, absorbing its flavors. The beans are then dried and hand-roasted in small batches and packaged for sale. From there, you brew the coffee as you would any regular blend, and you can drink it black, cold, in a latte, or as espresso, or you can use it as a rub. Yes, it's alcohol free, but the essence of wine still comes through.
Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Sheila Gim
This coffee took two years to develop, and it's the first of its kind. While Molinari is not a winery itself, it uses a house red wine created exclusively for Molinari by local Napa Valley wineries. Adding milk to the wine-infused coffee brings out the wine more, while drinking it black from a French press "emphasizes the blueberry essence," the company claims. We have a feeling the full-bodied, fruity coffee would be perfect with an after-dinner chocolaty dessert, too. You can find the bags of coffee at Molinari Caffe, Robert Mondavi Winery, Franciscan Estate Winery, JCB Wines, and online, but it's currently out of stock. However, Molinari Reserve assures its eager customers that it's stocking up ASAP.
In that case, we'll take another cup, please!

What Happens in the Walking Dead Comic Books After Negan's Brutal Entrance
Image Source: AMC
Negan is an unfortunate plague upon season seven of The Walking Dead. First, we watched him kill two major characters in the season premiere: Glenn and Abe. In more recent episodes, two more people fall victim to his sadistic killing streak. While we're still being gradually introduced to his world, we do know how the rest of Negan's storyline plays out in the comic book series. The Walking Dead TV series has veered from canon before, so we can't assume all of this will really go down on the show, though a lot of it already has.
At this point, you have to know that in the comic books, it's Glenn who Negan mercilessly beats to death with Lucille. So after all that ugliness, Negan and a group of the Saviors head to the Alexandria safe zone to take a bunch of stuff from Rick's people. Carl ends up hiding in the truck with Negan's men on the way back (this happens slightly differently on the show), and when he's found out, Carl uses an assault rifle to kill a bunch of the Saviors. Rather than killing him, Negan takes an interest in Carl. He shows Carl around his compound, the Sanctuary, makes a stop to torment one of his many wives, and forces Carl to remove the bandage from his eye socket. Negan even lets Carl hold Lucille while he burns the face of a man his "wife" slept with.
Days later, Negan goes by Alexandria and is approached by Spencer Monroe when Rick is gone. Spencer tells him that Rick is a bad leader and that he (Spencer) should be in charge. Negan kills him on the spot for his cowardice - RIP Spencer. Negan and Rick butt heads one last time before he leaves Alexandria, and on his way back to his compound, Negan is attacked by Rick and his crew. Negan basically laughs in his face, and Rick realizes that he's surrounded by Negan's army. There's a scuffle, but Negan ends up back at the Sanctuary to prepare for "All Out War." (This is a big deal in the comics, and it's about where we are on the show currently.)
Rick is actually the one who initiates a fight with Negan and his men. He tells Negan to clear the space of women and children, and when Negan refuses, Rick and his men open fire. Rick's army takes out a portion of the walls, allowing zombies to pour in and flood the courtyard. In the heat of battle, Negan catches one of his men about to rape a woman from Rick's side. Negan stabs him and apologizes to the woman. Despite having several wives, Negan does not approve of sexual violence. Part One of the war ends with Negan's men bombing Alexandria with grenades.
The next day, Negan comes up with a plan to cover Lucille and all of his men's weapons in zombie guts. That way, whoever they hit will be instantly infected. They attack Rick's colony, and Rick ends up getting shot with an arrow. Negan and his men temporarily retreat, and when they go to take over Rick's people, Negan is shocked to see that Rick is still alive. Rick manages to convince him that they shouldn't be fighting; they should be pooling their resources to fight the zombies - then he slashes Negan's throat. Don't freak out; Negan doesn't die.
Two years later, Carl goes to the basement in an unknown house and talks to a shadowy figure about a girl who showed him her boobs. (I'm not making this up.) The man asks Carl if he still wants to kill him, and Carl says, "Yes, Negan. You know I do." He's been living in the basement for two years! He and Rick have some loaded discussions about mercy and why Rick is really keeping Negan alive. Negan ends up escaping with a character named Brandon Rose. He's still alive in the comics, but he's missing in action.
And there you have it! That's Negan's storyline as far as we know. Let's see how closely the show sticks to the books.
Bill Paxton's Cause of Death Has Been Revealed
Bill Paxton died at age 61 on Feb. 25 after complications related to surgery, and now his cause of death has been revealed. According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ, the actor died from a stroke that was triggered by valve replacement surgery, which he received on Feb. 14 to correct an aortic aneurysm. Shortly after news of Bill's death broke, his family released the following statement: "It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery. Bill's passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable." The actor's long career included memorable roles in Apollo 13, Titanic, Big Love, and more. He is survived by his two children, James and Lydia Paxton, and his wife, Louise Newbury.
Katy Perry Just Rocked the 1 Quirky Beauty Trend We've Been Too Scared to Try
An edgy new hairstyle isn't the only thing Katy Perry debuted on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. The singer wore a white and gold jumpsuit and added some dazzling tooth jewelry to top it off. Yes, you read that correctly - tooth jewelry.
Not to be confused with the tooth tattoo trend, Katy's molar jewelry looked like a tiny gold Nike swoosh, and it shone bright every time she flashed a smile for the cameras on the red carpet. Situated on the left side of her mouth, this tooth jewelry is like a more personalized, chic version of grills, and we're beyond intrigued by the new trend.
It looks like Katy has had this interesting molar accessory for quite some time, as she shows it in some of her past social media posts. But her latest red carpet saunter - and a funny Instagram post in which she gives her followers a close-up look at her quinoa-ridden smile - has put her quirky tooth accessory in the spotlight. Keep reading to see Katy's gold-adorned smile.
Who Dies in Logan? Here's Your Cheat Sheet
Warning: Spoilers follow!
Not one can accuse Logan of sugar-coating Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) final chapter. The latest X-Men movie is incredibly violent and doesn't shy away from showing exactly how Wolverine dies - but he's not the only one who doesn't make it out alive. If you don't want to see the movie but you want to know what happens, read on.
- Professor X (Patrick Stewart) is killed. He's not in good shape in Logan, but what ends up taking him out isn't any illness - it's a clone of Wolverine. Transigen has been developing a killing machine known as X-24 using Logan's DNA, only this clone is pure rage. Professor X is just waking up after spending the night at a farm house, enjoying the family's hospitality, when X-24 approaches him and mercilessly murders him. The real Logan gets there just in time to say goodbye to the Professor and assure him that he's not the killer.
- Caliban (Stephen Merchant) commits suicide. If you're not familiar with Caliban, he's the albino mutant who has the power to track other mutants. He's enlisted against his will by Pierce and the villains at Transigen to track down Wolverine and tiny mutant Laura (Dafne Keen). He ends up leading the lab workers directly to his old pal, but in an effort to help Wolverine escape their clutches, Caliban blows himself up with grenades.
- Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) gets annihilated. In the final battle in the woods, the mutant children attack Pierce with all their powers at once. They freeze him and suffocate him with grass, and while he's not shown as a corpse or anything, we can all but assume he's dead.
- Zander Rice (Richard E. Grant) gets shot. Rice is the scientist behind Transigen's inhumane mutant experiments, and he finally gets to meet Logan in the flesh . . . Then Logan shoots him dead.
There you have it. It's brutal, but at least Laura and (most of) the kids get out alive.

The Vampire Diaries: Who Is Most Likely to Die in the Finale?
There is ONE episode left of The Vampire Diaries, and we can already tell that the final goodbye is going to be a tough one. Not only are a handful of old cast members returning, but we recently learned that the finale will also feature a major character death. While we definitely know that Elena Gilbert will be one of the attendees at the funeral, the fate of the rest of the characters is still up in the air. Since we love theorizing about the show, we're breaking down the five most likely suspects for that HUGE plot twist. Read at your own risk.
5. Matt
Could Matt's family have even more dark secrets? It's possible that Maxwell hell bell had some lingering magic left in it that could lead to his death. Although, if we're being completely honest here, Matt has managed to stay alive, and human for that matter, for eight seasons, so we don't really think Julie Plec would decide to kill him off now.
4. Caroline
Caroline's death would certainly be the most unexpected. Maybe she decides to take the cure to be human with Stefan and something goes wrong? Although, out of all the characters, Caroline has always been the most content with her vampirism. We can't see her compromising that for a guy, even if it is Stefan Salvatore.
3. Bonnie
Unless Kai breaks his spell, Elena's life is still linked to Bonnie's. And seeing that Nina Dobrev is officially returning for the finale, we can't help but wonder if that means BonBon will meet an untimely demise. Although, the way Plec has talked about how emotional the finale will be, her death seems a bit too on-the-nose.
2. Damon
This death would definitely be a blow to the heart. Not only is the final scene set at the Salvatore house, but Entertainment Weekly did say that Elena would be the last person to say goodbye at the funeral. Perhaps she was having one final moment with her true love? While we can only imagine the water works this scene would cause Delena fans, Plec did confirm that Elena and Damon will come face to face in the finale.
1. Stefan
Ever since Stefan took the cure and become mortal, he has been fixated on making up for his past sins. Could the final key to redemption and making up for turning Damon into a vampire be reuniting him with his true love? Perhaps, instead of Bonnie dying, Stefan finds a way to link his life with Elena's instead. Not only did Paul Wesley admit to tearing up over his final script, but he also revealed that his final scene is with Dobrev. What if the finale teaser is actually Stefan saying his last goodbye?

The Most Stunning C-Section Photos Birth Photographers Have Ever Taken
Although some people continue to debate C-sections versus vaginal births, there are talented birth photographers proving that no matter how you have a baby, it's miraculous and should be captured. As one of the co-founders of Birth Becomes Her, Monet Nicole knows that birth photographers love C-sections. For many, these birth stories are some of the most rewarding they ever capture.
C-section moms are some of the bravest and strongest women we know. In the moments leading up to surgery, a C-section mother must hold onto the strong and fierce love she has for her baby. She lets fear wash over her . . . and then she lets it drift away. Although she knows a C-section birth is the best choice for her or her baby, she also knows she'll endure major surgery with real wounds and scars.
Some women have weeks to mentally prepare for a C-section, but many only have hours or minutes. Suddenly, everything she envisioned when meeting her child has changed: the room she'll be in, the position she'll be in, who will be surrounding her. We humans don't tend to do well in situations of sudden change. And yet these brave mothers find a way to let go of their pride and connect with an inner-strength that allows them to enter the operating room and give birth to their child.
In honor of these incredible mamas, check out this collection of stunning C-section birth photos from photographers across the world. "We're here to say to all Cesarean moms: your birth stories are beautiful, powerful, and worth seeing and sharing," Monet wrote on the Birth Becomes Her blog. "#EveryBirthIsBeautiful."
Zosia Mamet Has a Condition That Feels Like" Hot Poker" in Her Vagina
Girls star Zosia Mamet opens up to our friends at YourTango about having pelvic floor dysfunction.
It's called pelvic floor dysfunction - and here's what you need to know.
Our vaginas are complicated machines. And it's still so taboo to talk about them that often times we ignore symptoms that could be serious because we're too afraid to see a doctor.
It's just another part of our body, people! If you had a pain in your arm, you'd ask a professional about it. So, why are we still so intimidated about our happy holes?
That's why I'm genuinely proud of actress Zosia Mamet, of HBO Girls, for speaking publicly about her struggle with pelvic floor dysfunction./
This past week, at the AOL Makers Conference, Mamet opened up about her battle with the painful disorder and shed light on the symptoms. Mamet said she had insane urinary frequency and painful sex that felt like a "hot poker" up her vag.
During the conference, Mamet had this to say:
"It was an incredibly long journey to figure out what was wrong with me... For 6 years, I felt like I had the worst UTI of my life. I did not have a UTI. I never thought I would want a UTI, but I wanted one so badly like a kid wants a puppy for Christmas because every time my test came back negative, it meant I still didn't have an answer to what was causing my insane urinary frequency and unbearable pain."
So, what exactly IS pelvic floor dysfunction and how do we know if we have it? According to Wikipedia: "Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a wide range of issues that occur when muscles of the pelvic floor are weak, tight, or there is an impairment of the sacroiliac joint, lower back, coccyx, or hip joints.
Symptoms include pelvic pain, pressure, dyspareunia, incontinence, incomplete emptying, and gross organ protrusion. Many times, the underlying cause of pelvic pain is difficult to determine.The condition affects up to 50 percent of women."
Umm, OUCH!
Isa Hererra, a physical therapist that specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction, says that the average woman can see several doctors before getting an accurate diagnosis. "It's what I call the 'doctor roadshow.' The symptoms are so wide that it can be confusing for many practitioners," Herrera said.
Treatment can involve taking muscle relaxants and, worst case scenario, surgery. But guess what? It doesn't have to be so scary. Physical therapy, both internally and externally, can be done to help improve the dysfunction by essentially lengthening and loosening the muscles inside your vagina.
It can be difficult if you do get the courage to see a doctor and they don't take you seriously. If you are having these symptoms, it might be best to search for a professional who specializes in the disorder because they'll know what to look for - that's their job.

Bath & Body Works's New Shower Jelly Is About to Blow Your Effing Mind
Have you ever noticed that women who take baths seem to have all the fun? I myself am a shower kind of girl, and while the routine has its purpose, it's not particularly interesting or exciting. (The most oomph I've ever been able to add was a Bluetooth speaker.) Meanwhile, bathing beauties get bubbles, bombs, salts, and a myriad of other products that make every soak a soirée.
I'd basically resigned myself to festivity-free showers, until I was introduced to Bath & Body Works's newest product, its Bath & Shower Jelly. The formula is a brand-new one for the company and is part of its just-launched CocoShea collection. It's infused with honey and shea butter - which also gives the jelly its scent! - to condition and smooth dry skin.
While I'm always happy to add nourishing products to my cleansing lineup, the reason this innovative item made the cut is because it is freaking awesome to play with. Inside the honey-jar-like pot is a completely clear potion. Touch it and you'll be astounded by how squishy and bouncy it is, yet it doesn't leave much residue on your fingertips. Even more fascinating, you can aggressively smush and disrupt the jar's contents . . . only to have the formula slowly return to a flawless pot of gel. It'll look as if you never even touched it.
As for the cleansing aspect of the jelly, it's quite effective. It offers some serious suds, is nondrying, and leaves skin with a warm shea butter scent. More fragrances will be launching this July as part of Bath & Body Works's Poolside Pop collection, including Grapefruit Splash (a blend of grapefruit, mandarin, pear, and basil) and Pineapple Punch (which also features notes of maraschino cherry and coconut).
Keep reading to see the jelly in action, then head to your local Bath & Body Works store - or online! - to try out the CocoShea Honey Bath & Shower Jelly ($17) yourself.
These Love Actually Sequel Photos Reveal 3 Major Reunions!
Christmas came really early last month when news broke that a mini Love Actually reunion is happening. The classic holiday movie, which has spawned a loyal and dedicated fan base (and some haters) since its 2003 release, is getting a 10-minute-long short film in honor of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day telethon. The short will check in with the film's beloved characters 14 years after the events of the first movie.
In February, a few of the film's original cast members, Liam Neeson (Daniel), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Sam), and Olivia Olson (Joanna), were spotting filming a few scenes in London. If you need a small refresher, Neeson played a man who recently lost his wife and was suddenly the sole caretaker of her young son, Sam. While he initially thought Sam's withdrawn behavior was due to his mother's death, it was actually mostly because he was hopelessly in love with his American classmate Joanna. The new set photos hint at a ton of possible things: Did Sam and Joanna end up together? Are Sam and Daniel still as close as ever?
Then in early March, the director of Red Nose Day, Emma Freud, shared photos of another amazing reunion on Twitter. In the photos, Prime Minister David (Hugh Grant) is shown to still be with Natalie (Martine McCutcheon). Emma also revealed in one tweet that the two are actually married! See all the reunion pics below before the special airs on NBC on May 25.
Anna Faris Is Starring in a Gender-Flipped Overboard Remake, and We Have Feelings
If you count 1987's Overboard among your favorite films, you may not be happy about this news: a remake is on the way. Anna Faris is starring . . . in Kurt Russell's original role. That's right, the new movie is flipping the genders of the main characters, and "will see spoiled playboy from one of Mexico's wealthiest families (Eugenio Derbez) who falls overboard off his yacht, and is convinced by a single, working-class mom (Faris) that he is her husband." Derbez is one of Latin America's biggest movie stars, and you may recognize him from the 2013 comedy Instructions Not Included. He's also starring in the upcoming films How to Be a Latin Lover and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, so you'll definitely have more chances to see him before he turns up in Overboard.
As a lifelong fan of the Goldie Hawn original, I don't feel great about this news. Why bother updating what is already a fantastic movie? There are so many great moments! I have a hard time imagining that a new take on the story can top Hawn proclaiming, "That Elk Snout mountain man is still working on my closet. Sweating all over the place."
Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Postpartum Depression and the Delay of Her Next Cookbook
While Chrissy Teigen's biggest food fans are patiently awaiting the arrival of the Cravings author's second cookbook, the model has opened up about why the book has been postponed. In an essay about postpartum depression in Glamour, Chrissy opens up about her struggle to come to terms with the physical and emotional pain she was experiencing. John and Chrissy's adorable baby Luna was born in April 2016, and Chrissy was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety around the time of the holidays months later. That's about the time that she started developing her second cookbook, too.
"I didn't have an appetite. I would go two days without a bite of food, and you know how big of a deal food is for me," Chrissy writes. In addition to sharing her personal experiences with unhappiness and figuring it all out, Chrissy mentions how her depression affected the process of writing her new cookbook and shares that she had to postpone it.
"I had to postpone my second cookbook, but my editor, Francis Lam, and publisher couldn't have been more understanding. To go from discussing layouts and recipes and shoot days to a complete 'off' switch was, I'm sure, not a great thing to hear. But, again, I cannot overstate how lucky I am to work with these people."
Chrissy admits the recipe-developing experience was a lot different the first time around, saying, "With the first, I was in the kitchen the whole time. I stirred every pot, tasted everything. Had genuine excitement for Every. Single. Recipe. This one came at the height of my losing my appetite, and the idea of having to test and taste recipes actually made me vomit. I was still on the couch a lot."
While we know Chrissy Teigen's second cookbook will undoubtedly be as amazing as the first based on sneak peeks she has shared, it's important that Chrissy does it on her own time and takes care of her own health first. You can read the full essay in Glamour's latest issue, on newsstands March 14.
10 Reasons You Should Start Shipping Jughead and Betty on Riverdale
We are quickly growing more and more obsessed with The CW's Riverdale. We love the music and juicy drama, but we can't get enough of all the romances.

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Were the Belles of the Ball at the Beauty and the Beast Premiere
You might assume that the glamorous red carpet premiere of the new Beauty and the Beast movie was all about leading lady Emma Watson, or even the Harry Potter actors who showed up to support her, but you'd be wrong; the real stars of the event were unstoppable mother-daughter duo Beyoncé and Blue Ivy. Queen B documented their night out on her website, which includes shots of the adorable pair goofing off in front of the camera in matching shades of green and their preferred movie snacks (if the stock for Red Vines and Sour Patch Kids suddenly skyrockets, now you know why). Beyoncé, who's expecting twins with husband Jay Z, also posted a few sweet photos of her showing off her growing baby bump. Although there's no word yet on what they thought of the movie, it's safe to say Blue enjoyed it way more than the NBA All-Star Game.

1 Mom Just Spilled the Secrets to Convincing Your Social Followers You Have the "Perfect Life"
We all know that mom - the one with perfectly coiffed hair no matter how early the drop-off time is, the one with the perfect homemade dessert at the school bake sale, and yup, the one with the undeniably sexy partner. She's got it all together, right? Well, one hilarious mom just revealed all the secrets to *appearing* like you have your sh*t together on social media, and it's pretty genius. Mommy blogger Kristina Kuzmic is sharing some of her hacks to convince all your followers that your life is clean, glamorous, and by no means chaotic.
From getting that perfect photo with a glass of wine at the end of a long day to taking a photo of your daughter whose hair is beautifully blown out and everything in between, Kristina has you covered, no matter how obnoxiously messy your kitchen is. So instead of wondering how that mom has it all together and maybe even attempting to re-create that seemingly perfect social media life yourselves, Kristina ends her video with another idea.
"How about we just save ourselves a whole lot of hassle and post whatever we want to post without trying to impress anyone?" she suggests. "We can post our great days and our beautiful cakes and our clean kitchens if we want to, but we can also post the chaos. Because you know what's impressive to most people? The truth."
