How 1 Clever Mom Taught Her 7-Year-Old a Serious Lesson on Online Safety
Despite only being 7 years old, Sue Samad's little girl had a serious confession to make. After her iPad time was over and she was tucked into bed, the child came downstairs crying that she needed to tell the truth: she broke the house rules and had been chatting with gaming people online.
The little girl knew that she broke the family's "no chat" policy and begged her mom to punish her because she deserved to be grounded for her actions. Instead, her mom came up with an even better way to ensure that her child learned the magnitude of her mistake.
"It got me thinking, OK ... I ground her, confiscate the iPad, but really no lesson is learned," she wrote on Facebook. "My absolute manic mind came up with this faux letter with letter head and all. I put it in our mailbox this afternoon addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Taher. The letter is just reminder, deterrence, and will possibly freak the crap out of her for a few years (I hope)."
The fake letter was signed from Security Intelligence for Children Cyber Safety and informed Sue that her child had breached the cyber internet safety contract for kids. It explained that her daughter's Wi-Fi had been disconnected and can only be reinstated when the child proves to her parents that she is "responsible and understands the immediate dangers she has put herself an her sibling in."
According to Sue, the response she got when showed her children the letter was exactly what she was hoping for and it was a tool to help them discuss the importance of online safety. "The letter doesn't replace continuous education about cyber danger, stranger danger, and keeping the open dialogue and honesty with your children," she wrote. "If they make a mistake, pull them up, watch what they are doing, let them make mistakes with you and be OK to discuss those awkward subjects that make your stomach squirm."
Sue explained that she doesn't believe in denying her children access to the internet since it's such a big party of this generation's daily life but she does hope parents learn from both her daughter's mistake and her reaction to it. A reminder to all of us to watch what our children do online, be the helicopter parent, observe their behavior, be open with discussion even if it's so uncomfortable and beyond their years of understanding," she wrote. "My hope is to raise resilient and socially-conscious children who God willing will grow up sensible children. And to add some humor to this very disturbing topic ... it'll be a great piece to present at her 18th birthday."
If You Loved 13 Reasons Why, You Need to See This Broadway Show Right Now
Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear? Well, you're not alone.
In a time when it seems like everyone is consumed by social media, the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen really hits home on what it's like to be a millennial or any person struggling to find their way. Inspired by a real-life event, lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (who won an Oscar for La La Land) set out to create an original musical alongside writer Steven Levenson (Masters of Sex) and famed stage director Michael Greif (Rent). After a run in Washington DC and off Broadway, the show made its grand opening at the Music Box Theatre in December 2016 and has been earning rave reviews from critics and celebrities alike ever since. Not to mention it was just nominated for nine Tonys, including best musical! With its moving story, catchy score, and stellar cast, the musical is sure to earn not only your praise, but steal your heart in the process.
Coping with crippling anxiety, the title character (played by Ben Platt) finds it extremely difficult to fit in. His single mother is always working, his only acquaintance at school is a family friend, and the girl he likes doesn't even know he exists. Every day is a constant struggle, until the unexpected death of a classmate gives him a voice he never knew he had, even if it is all based on a lie.
On top of the moving story, the music is infectious. When the single "Waving Through a Window" was first released, I played the track for five days straight. Even after seeing the show, I still have the urge to bust out the lyrics to "Words Fail" during my morning commute on the subway. You think I'm exaggerating, but just wait until you hear the soundtrack for the first time. You won't just tap your foot to one of the melodies during the show; you'll come out humming three more of them when you leave, guaranteed.
Even though the music is show-stopping, don't expect any over-the-top numbers with glittery sets and extravagant costumes. With an ensemble of only eight actors, there are absolutely no frills. It's just real emotions and raw performances. While Rachel Bay Jones (Heidi Hansen) and Laura Dreyfuss (Zoe Murphy) are forces to be reckoned with, nothing compares to the musical's star, Ben Platt. To say he steals the show would be a complete understatement. As Zac Efron puts it, Platt isn't just playing Evan Hansen; he's becoming him eight times a week. His fumbled words? Real. His slobbery tears? Real. His gut-wrenching charisma? Very, very real. He shined in Book of Mormon and Pitch Perfect, but this is his ground-breaking role.
With so many different themes like depression, anxiety, and loneliness throughout, we can all see a bit of ourselves in one of these characters: the socially awkward teen, the daughter whose parents won't stop fighting, or the classmate who feels like there's no other way than just giving up. In between numbers, I could audibly hear the audience choking back sobs. My mom and I bonded with a young man sitting next to us during the intermission as we talked about how we related to Evan, his mother, his classmates, and all that in between. At the heart of it all, this isn't just a show - it's a story that needs to be told. Because no one deserves to be forgotten. No one deserves to feel like they could disappear. Even when you're broken on the ground, you will be found.

New Study Will Make You Question Everything You Know About Intermittent Fasting
It's no secret that losing weight is hard, and these days, more and more people are turning to intermittent fasting when clean eating and avid exercising just aren't getting the job done. But does this method, particularly alternate-day fasting, actually produce tangible results compared to simply counting calories? Science says the difference may be negligible, so you may want to rethink your weight-loss plan.
A study recently published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine followed 100 obese adults for one year to observe the potential difference between fasting every other day versus restricting daily calorie intake. All participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the alternate-day fasting group (which consumed 25 percent of their normal calorie intake every other day and 125 percent of it on their alternate "feast" days), the calorie-counting group (which consumed 75 percent of their usual calorie intake every day), and the control group (which carried on their merry way with no diet intervention for the sake of the study).
When the study concluded, researchers found those who stuck to the alternate-day fasting routine lost 6 percent of their weight while those in the calorie-restricting group lost 5.3 percent, which really isn't much of a difference. Although according to the founder of alternate-day fasting, James Johnson, MD recommends you eat very little one day (one-fifth your normal daily calorie intake), then the next day eat your normal daily calorie intake (not 125 percent as represented in the study), which probably accounts for those participants not losing as much weight.
Beyond that, the study also discovered that 38 percent of participants who did intermittent fasting dropped out of the process, compared to the 29 percent of those from the calorie-limiting group who did so.
The findings of this study suggest something we knew all along: there's no one-size-fits-all method for shedding the pounds. One of our editors gave intermittent fasting a try, and it worked wonders for her, but that doesn't mean it'll produce weight-loss results for everyone. As always, we suggest consulting your doctor before adopting any new trendy methods for slimming down.
Celine Dion Had Entirely Too Much Fun at Her First Met Gala
Celine Dion made her Met Gala debut in NYC on Monday night, and the singer seemed to have had the time of her life. Not only did she flash some leg while hitting the red carpet in a custom Versace dress, but she also hammed it up while posing for Vogue's Instagram art installation (did you catch that shoe phone?) and partied it up with Migos at Katy Perry's afterparty. Not a bad Monday night for 49-year-old Celine, who revealed to E! that she worried about not being let into the event. "Bring your stuff just in case they don't let you in," she said. "I would've started singing in the middle of the street [had they not let me in.]"
Proof That Princess Charlotte Is the Spitting Image of Queen Elizabeth
The past year has been full of milestones for Princess Charlotte. Since becoming fourth in line to succeed the throne in May 2015, Charlotte has experienced her christening and first public appearance at Trooping the Colour, and most recently, she embarked on her very first royal tour with older brother Prince George and her parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William. As we got a glimpse of Charlotte during her time in Canada - waving to fans, playing with balloons, and smelling a bouquet of flowers - we couldn't help but notice how similar the adorable 2-year-old looks to her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. The striking resemblance is evident in their round cheeks, wide smiles, and big, bright blue eyes. Days after Charlotte's birth, the queen said of her fifth great-grandchild, "We love to have another girl," while Kate revealed that Charlotte is "very cute" but "has got quite a feisty side." Sounds like she and the queen have more in common than looks.
All We Could Focus On During King Carl's Birthday Celebration Was His Grandchildren
The Swedish royals celebrated King Carl XVI Gustaf's 71st birthday on April 30. Prince Carl Philip was in the palace square with his father while the rest of the family, including wife Princess Sofia, watched the festivities from the balcony. Even though it was the king's big day, it was Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar who stole the spotlight. The royal siblings looked too precious for words as they stood alongside their parents, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, at the palace. Aside from waving to the crowd, Estelle also shared a sweet moment with her grandfather when she reached her arms out for a hug.

Blake Lively Wore One Perfect Ponytail to the Met Gala
Vogue darling Blake Lively attended the 2017 Met Gala with her hot husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a ponytail that made us say, "ooh!"
The long, voluminous ponytail showed off Blake's beachy texture with a little added texture: crimping.
We got the exclusive details from celebrity stylist Rod Ortega using T3 tools.
"My inspiration was the New Romantic, '80s-style pony," Ortega said. "I'm excited about this because I grew up in the '80s, and it's personal to me. I felt really close to the theme." He also explained the updo complemented the dress instead of competing with it.
Ortega described the look as a "double pony with lift and herringbone texture - an edge to a classic pony."
Here's what you need to know to DIY at home: "For the crimped texture in the pony, use a smaller plated flat iron - I like the T3 SinglePass Compact - to bend the hair back and forth," Ortega explained. "Another tip is the use flat elastic bands instead of your typical round ones as they are easy to stack and help create lift in the pony."
Back to Blake's texture. We had to know how he worked with it and showed it off so well!
"I always blow out the hair with the T3 Featherweight Luxe hair dryer to keep Blake's natural texture, as the soft air of the dryer helps the texture come through. Less is best to bring out texture! I only work with light oils and very little hair products. L'Oreal Spray Shine L'Oreal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum is great for this, too."
When it came to makeup, she also kept it light, sticking to gorgeous gold shades.
Makeup artist Kristofer Buckle for L'Oréal Paris commented on the look in a press release, "We decided to keep Blake's makeup soft with a touch of gold. We didn't want to go too heavy with the makeup since her Versace gown made such a statement…something heavy would be too theatrical. Instead, we went for bronze-tone makeup – both on the eyes and on the face."

Wait, Shattered Glass Eyeliner Is Now a Thing!
Shattered glass nail art, meet your sister: shattered glass eye makeup. While doing research for this holographic eyeliner trend report, I stumbled upon these mesmerizing iterations that take the tinsel style one notch up. And it's actually pretty flattering since the opalescent paper brightens up the eye area. You can either do it all over the lid (like shadow) or on the edges (similar to an eyeliner wing).
Re-creating it at home is easier than you might think. Simply do your regular bold eye makeup, then cut up pieces of holographic paper. Perhaps it comes from last year's holiday decor and wrapping paper. Make them into little "shards," which you will then adhere to your skin with eyelash glue. Done!

How 1 Clever Mom Taught Her 7-Year-Old a Serious Lesson on Online Safety
Despite only being 7 years old, Sue Samad's little girl had a serious confession to make. After her iPad time was over and she was tucked into bed, the child came downstairs crying that she needed to tell the truth: she broke the house rules and had been chatting with gaming people online.
The little girl knew that she broke the family's "no chat" policy and begged her mom to punish her because she deserved to be grounded for her actions. Instead, her mom came up with an even better way to ensure that her child learned the magnitude of her mistake.
"It got me thinking, OK ... I ground her, confiscate the iPad, but really no lesson is learned," she wrote on Facebook. "My absolute manic mind came up with this faux letter with letter head and all. I put it in our mailbox this afternoon addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Taher. The letter is just reminder, deterrence, and will possibly freak the crap out of her for a few years (I hope)."
The fake letter was signed from Security Intelligence for Children Cyber Safety and informed Sue that her child had breached the cyber internet safety contract for kids. It explained that her daughter's Wi-Fi had been disconnected and can only be reinstated when the child proves to her parents that she is "responsible and understands the immediate dangers she has put herself an her sibling in."
According to Sue, the response she got when showed her children the letter was exactly what she was hoping for and it was a tool to help them discuss the importance of online safety. "The letter doesn't replace continuous education about cyber danger, stranger danger, and keeping the open dialogue and honesty with your children," she wrote. "If they make a mistake, pull them up, watch what they are doing, let them make mistakes with you and be OK to discuss those awkward subjects that make your stomach squirm."
Sue explained that she doesn't believe in denying her children access to the internet since it's such a big party of this generation's daily life but she does hope parents learn from both her daughter's mistake and her reaction to it. A reminder to all of us to watch what our children do online, be the helicopter parent, observe their behavior, be open with discussion even if it's so uncomfortable and beyond their years of understanding," she wrote. "My hope is to raise resilient and socially-conscious children who God willing will grow up sensible children. And to add some humor to this very disturbing topic ... it'll be a great piece to present at her 18th birthday."

OK, OK - Zendaya's Huge Hair at the Met Gala Is Everything
Go home. Zendaya just won the Met Gala red carpet (for beauty!) with her gorgeous, voluminous curly hair. This massive load of tight curls (which looked diffused) and bangs felt super '80s meets Disney princess. It was likely a wig, since Zendaya is known for wearing them. But if this was her natural hair, we wouldn't be mad about it.
Her makeup was soft and romantic - just a sweep of coral on her eyes, cheeks, and lips. Excuse us while we swoon.
Lily Collins Looks Like a Sexy Vampire Doll at the Met Gala
Our favorite version of Lily Collins is back - that's her sexy vampire side. For the 2017 Met Gala, Lily showed off her perfect porcelain skin with just a hint of pink blush. The drama was focused on her spidery lashes (top and bottom), black eyeliner, statement bold brows (which were super arched), and deep burgundy lip.
Her sleek bob with bangs came courtesy of Gregory Russell for Suave Professionals.
"I was inspired by Lily's sculptural Giambattista Valli gown and this year's theme to create a sharp and modern bob with short bangs," he said in a press release. The key to that shine was Suave Leave-In Honey Infusion Conditioner and a flat iron.

Facebook Is Accused of Revealing to Advertisers How to Reach "Defeated" Teens
Facebook is proving once again how well it knows your habits on its app - and why you should think twice about everything you do on it. According to a report by The Australian on May 1, Facebook revealed how to target teens who feel "worthless" or "insecure."
The report comes from a leaked 23-page document, given in a presentation given to a bank by two of Facebook's top Australian executives. The document shows how Facebook used algorithms in Australia and New Zealand to collect data and see when teens feel "stressed," "defeated," "anxious," and other emotions. The presentation even went so far as to explain the best times to reach a teen. "Anticipatory emotions are more likely to be expressed early in the week, while reflective emotions increase on the weekend," the leaked Facebook presentation read. "Monday-Thursday is about building confidence; the weekend is for broadcasting achievements."
Facebook has since commented on the article and the research presented in the document. "Facebook does not offer tools to target people based on their emotional state," wrote the company in a post. "The analysis done by an Australian researcher was intended to help marketers understand how people express themselves on Facebook. It was never used to target ads and was based on data that was anonymous and aggregated." The company also stated it is reviewing the specific details of this case to "correct the oversight" in the research.
This type of controversy isn't new to Facebook. Back in October 2016, ProPublica published an extensive researched piece on how Facebook lets advertisers choose who to reach and exclude - by race.

Zoë Kravitz's Dress Was Made From Real Roses, So That's Why You Can't Stop Staring
When Zoe Kravitz stopped to talk to Vogue's André Leon Talley on the Met Gala red carpet, she declared her Oscar de la Renta dress to be both "sexy" and "interesting." We certainly agree; the slip of skin at Zoë's shoulders is alluring, while her pink satin cape extends into a train. And there's a dark quality to this silhouette - the interior is contrasted in black to match the roses that line Zoë's sleeves and bodice.
But these are not just fake flowers - they're real. They've been treated and dyed and perfectly placed so that Zoë could truly own the most romantic look of the evening. Scroll to watch the actress gush over the design process, then take in an all-angles view of the masterpiece.
This Mexican Comedian's Parody of "Despacito" Will Have You Laughing Your Butt Off
Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" has been a hit across the world, especially after the release of a remix with Justin Bieber singing in Spanish, which already has over 118 million views on YouTube. So it's only natural that parodies will be the next thing around the corner for the popular tune.
A self-proclaimed "paisa" decided to take advantage of the song's popularity by creating a hilarious take of his own. In this music video by comedian Tiburcio, who describes himself as "famoso in Facebook" and is mostly known for his "Paisa Zumba" videos, he's pursued by an attractive woman but doesn't realize it. "Latinos taking over poquito a poquito," he says in the song as he has the most awkward and hilarious exchanges with his admirer. Watch his hilarious version of "Despacito" above.

Gwyneth Paltrow Stuns at the Met Gala After Vowing She'd "Never Go Again"
Gwyneth Paltrow was the epitome of classic beauty at the Met Gala on Monday night. The 44-year-old actress hit the red carpet in a sleek, baby pink gown reminiscent of the Calvin Klein dress she wore during her first-ever appearance at the high-fashion event back in 1995. Although her number was certainly a show-stopper, it was her arrival at the Met Gala period that had people talking. As you might recall, in 2013 Gwyneth infamously told USA Today that she can't stand going to the fashion elite's fete year after year. "I'm never going again," she declared. "It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all."
Not long after her scathing review, she doubled down during an interview with Australian radio show hosts Kyle and Jackie O. "It sucked," she said. "It seems like the it's the best thing in the world, you always think, 'Oh my god, it's going to be so glamorous and amazing and you're going to see all of these people' and then you get there and it's so hot and it's so crowded and everyone's pushing you.'" Getting back into Anna Wintour's good graces is no easy feat (maybe she offered her a free Goop subscription?), but fortunately it looks like it was worth it. Gwyneth happily smiled for photographers and struck a pose with fellow guest ASAP Rocky before heading inside to admire the exhibit.
Princess Charlotte Gives a Sly Smirk in Precious New Birthday Photo
Princess Charlotte is growing up fast! In honor of her second birthday on May 2, a precious new photo of Charlotte was released by the Duchess of Cambridge on Monday. In the snap, the little one gives a sly smirk while wearing a yellow sweater and holding on to what appears to be a book. The last official photo of Charlotte we were treated to was on her first birthday in 2016, though we did get to see her attending church with her parents on Christmas and living it up on a royal tour of Canada with her brother, George, back in September.
It's already shaping up to be a big week for the family; Will and Kate celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday, and the duchess is scheduled to visit Farms For City Children in the UK on Wednesday. Later this month, Charlotte and her older brother will have big parts in their aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding to James Matthews.
13 Reasons Why: Dylan Minnette Responds to the Band That Slammed the Show
13 Reasons Why has been getting both praise and heat for its honest portrayal of teen suicide and depression ever since the show was released on Netflix in late March. While executive producer Selena Gomez recently responded to criticism that the show glorifies suicide, saying they stayed "very true" to the book by Jay Asher, other people involved in the show aren't being as supportive.
The band Car Seat Headrest, who lend their song "Oh! Starving" to the soundtrack (it plays in episode 12 when Hannah loses an envelope full of money from her parents' store), slammed the show on Twitter on Sunday. "As someone who contributed to the soundtrack for '13 Reasons Why', I am obliged to tell you all that it's kind of f*cked," they wrote. "Kids: this is not a narrative you need to subscribe to. Go watch 'spring breakers' instead," referring to the raunchy 2013 movie starring Selena.

@carseatheadrest Hey Will, I play Clay on 13RY and I'm a huge fan of yours. Saw your tweets in my feed. Sorry to hear you feel that way.

@carseatheadrest I can assure you that everyone behind the show, including myself, have the best intentions in making it.

@carseatheadrest Also, you were great at Coachella and the Regent.

Since the show will most likely get a second season, maybe Car Seat Headrest will opt out of being included on that soundtrack.

This Mexican Comedian's Parody of "Despacito" Will Have You Laughing Your Butt Off
Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" has been a hit across the world, especially after the release of a remix with Justin Bieber singing in Spanish, which already has over 118 million views on YouTube. So it's only natural that parodies will be the next thing around the corner for the popular tune.
A self-proclaimed "paisa" decided to take advantage of the song's popularity by creating a hilarious take of his own. In this music video by comedian Tiburcio, who describes himself as "famoso in Facebook" and is mostly known for his "Paisa Zumba" videos, he's pursued by an attractive woman but doesn't realize it. "Latinos taking over poquito a poquito," he says in the song as he has the most awkward and hilarious exchanges with his admirer. Watch his hilarious version of "Despacito" above.
The Gut-Wrenching Reason This Mom Buys 2 Extra Mother's Day Cards
Jill Robbins has a secret: she buys two extra Mother's Day cards every year, one for each of her sons' birth mothers. Although Jill has three children, she jokes that only her daughter "came into the family the regular way," as her sons were both adopted from China. Every year Jill buys a Mother's Day card for each boy's biological mother, but unfortunately, they never get to those moms halfway across the world - they make it into a shoe box.
"I've done this every year that we've had them. I write little snippets of what they've done and accomplished every year, what their challenges and accomplishments have been," Jill wrote in a post to her blog's Facebook page, Ripped Jeans and Bifocals. "I write these notes during my quiet time, after everyone else is in bed. I re-read my words and then I seal the cards. And then I put them away in a shoe box that sits on my closet shelf because I don't know what else to do with them. I don't have any place to mail these cards, you see."
The mom continues, explaining that there's sadly no such thing as an open adoption in China as there are laws "that prohibit a mother from making an adoption plan, aka giving a baby up for adoption." Because of this, children are abandoned and entered into the social welfare system, which is when they're able to go up for adoption. After someone becomes their parent, there's no paper trail to follow back to their past, to their birth mamas.
I know my boys' birth mothers waited and watched until their babies were taken to safety. I KNOW. I just do. I know they loved these children and I know their actions were something they deemed necessary. I don't need to know the reasons. Their motives don't need to pass any sort of litmus test with me. I have a pretty happy life. I don't want for much, but if I could have one wish I would want my boys' birth mothers to know the babies they carried are safe and loved. Cherished. Thriving. Part of a family. So, I buy those cards every year. I write in them. Somewhere on the other side of the world there are two women who would probably give anything to get them.
Jill says that she continues to write these cards that will never be sent mostly for herself, as a form of gratitude toward the women who gave her gifts in the forms of her sweet boys. Because adoption is so complicated and emotional, Jill is sharing her "secret" with the world in the hope that someone struggling on either end of an adoption can find some peace in the process. She added, "Maybe another mama like me will realize that she's not alone in those reflective moments she had about her kids' birth mothers."

Princess Charlotte Gives a Sly Smirk in Precious New Birthday Photo
Princess Charlotte is growing up fast! In honor of her second birthday on May 2, a precious new photo of Charlotte was released by the Duchess of Cambridge on Monday. In the snap, the little one gives a sly smirk while wearing a yellow sweater and holding on to what appears to be a book. The last official photo of Charlotte we were treated to was on her first birthday in 2016, though we did get to see her attending church with her parents on Christmas and living it up on a royal tour of Canada with her brother, George, back in September.
It's already shaping up to be a big week for the family; Will and Kate celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday, and the duchess is scheduled to visit Farms For City Children in the UK on Wednesday. Later this month, Charlotte and her older brother will have big parts in their aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding to James Matthews.
13 Reasons Why: Dylan Minnette Responds to the Band That Slammed the Show
13 Reasons Why has been getting both praise and heat for its honest portrayal of teen suicide and depression ever since the show was released on Netflix in late March. While executive producer Selena Gomez recently responded to criticism that the show glorifies suicide, saying they stayed "very true" to the book by Jay Asher, other people involved in the show aren't being as supportive.
The band Car Seat Headrest, who lend their song "Oh! Starving" to the soundtrack (it plays in episode 12 when Hannah loses an envelope full of money from her parents' store), slammed the show on Twitter on Sunday. "As someone who contributed to the soundtrack for '13 Reasons Why', I am obliged to tell you all that it's kind of f*cked," they wrote. "Kids: this is not a narrative you need to subscribe to. Go watch 'spring breakers' instead," referring to the raunchy 2013 movie starring Selena.

Blink and You'll Miss This Edgy Detail of Solange Knowles's Met Gala Beauty Look
Solange Knowles is no stranger to sporting head-turning Met Gala styles, but this year, you have to look very closely to see the daring detail she tried.
To go with her puffer-coat-like Thom Browne jumpsuit, celebrity makeup artist Lottie traced a graphic white liner down the side of Solange's cheek and onto her earlobe. The artist used Nars Cosmetics Larger Than Life Eyeliner in Santa Monica Blvd ($26) to create the simple but stunning look, keeping the rest of the performer's appearance minimalist.
We're fairly certain that this is the first time we've spotted the ear makeup trend IRL, and we must admit, we completely dig it. We could totally see this makeup masterpiece looking badass at a music festival in a variety of different colors, like black, cobalt blue, and orange. Keep reading to see more shots of Solange's Met Gala look.
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd Look Like They Got Married at the Met Gala
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are getting more and more comfortable with showing off their love for the cameras. Shortly after making their relationship Instagram official at Coachella, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala in NYC on Monday. While The Weeknd looked dapper in a tux and tie, the 13 Reasons Why executive producer looked beautiful in a flowing white Coach gown and purple eye shadow. Aside from posing for the flashing cameras, the two also snuck in a little PDA as they pulled each other in close for a hug. They looked like something right out of a wedding magazine!
Courtney Love and Frances Bean Cobain Have a Mother-Daughter Met Gala Date
Courtney Love and her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, arrived together for the Met Gala in NYC on Monday night. The mother-daughter duo hit the red carpet with longtime friend Marc Jacobs and model Char Defrancesco and shared a few kisses for the cameras. While the two haven't always been close - 24-year-old Frances famously emancipated herself from her mother in 2009 - the pair was spotted holding hands in Manhattan ahead of the big event and seemed to be having a great time together at the gala.
Jaden Smith Brought His Dreads as a Date to the Met Gala
It's 2017, people, and nothing is too avant-garde for the red carpet, but Jaden Smith's 2017 Met Gala accessory/date might be taking things to a whole new level. Last month, Will Smith hilariously admitted to cutting his son's hair for a movie role, but we had no idea that Jaden was saving his locks for this special occasion.
Jaden pulled up to the Met Gala with the remnants of his haircut in hand and, well, we have so many questions. First, should we be calling this art? Does it hold his phone and wallet like a clutch? Is there still a hair tie around it? Between his shining grill, matching chains, and bouquet of hair, this kid is too cool for us. Keep reading to see photos of Jaden and his blond date.
This High School Celebrated Meme Day Because the Internet Is a Strange and Beautiful Thing
meme-ingful day with meaningful friends #eaglepride2017 (im an idiot sandwich btw) http://pic.twitter.com/wZ4MB6Fnrx

For some people, memes aren't just jokes on the internet - they are a way of life. If you exist in today's world, you've definitely used a meme or two to explain how you're feeling about your day. Teens totally do the same, which is why one high school created a whole spirit day around memes.
Olympian High School in Chula Vista, California, recently celebrated senior spirit week. One of the day's themes centered around dressing as a meme. 18-year old student Nicole Pinto, who tweets as Twitter user h0neymami, posted one tweet about the day that quickly went viral. The video shows several people as memes like mannequin head, math lady, tiny hands, lime cat, and Salt Bae. Her tweet currently has more than 4,700 retweets and 9,000 likes.
in case you havent heard, it was meme day at school today http://pic.twitter.com/FmMhsabkBo
- nic (@h0neymami) April 26, 2017
In another tweet, Allan Dizon posted photos of the group, which you can see above. As you can clearly see, these teens took meme day seriously. Some people on Twitter were wishing their school had a meme day.
I WANT MEME DAY IN MY SCHOOL TOO TF https://t.co/3x378Tjj5F

To be perfectly honest, we wish we had a meme day at the office, too.
It's Not About J Lo's Dress at the Met Gala - It's About Her Sexy Date, ARod
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have officially made their red carpet debut, and, of course, they did it at the most fashionable event of the year.
The new couple showed up at the 2017 Met Gala and ours jaws quite literally dropped. Jennifer looked ethereal in a floor-length dusty blue Valentino dress and stunning Harry Winston jewels. Alex was right by his lady's side in a dapper navy blue tux. The former baseball player, whom J Lo called her "macho bello" on Instagram, walked the red carpet with his hand around J Lo's and the look of love in his eyes.
This look is very different from the chill one J Lo rocked mere hours before the Met Gala while on a date with ARod in NYC or even the barely there naked dress she wore at the Latin Billboard Awards while going solo.
Keep scrolling to see the couple practically float down the red carpet.
21 Times Tumblr Understood Your 13 Reasons Why Obsession Better Than Anyone Else
Image Source: Netflix
Despite the fact 13 Reasons Why deals with some heavy subjects and extremely difficult scenes, the show has managed to inspire more than a few hilarious memes (as well as one particularly troubling one). Tumblr is practically a treasure trove of rallying cries for Jeff Atkins (HE DESERVED BETTER, OK?) and a safe space for anyone to side-eye Courtney Crimsen. Check out the best reactions below.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Dance the Night Away at Katy Perry's Met Gala Afterparty
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare appearance at the Met Gala on Monday. The sisters, who usually step out for fashion's big night, hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC in coordinating ensembles. They then let loose and danced the night away together at Katy Perry's afterparty at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel. This also isn't the first time we've seen them in recent weeks. The sisters attended another (more relaxed) gala with Mary-Kate's husband, Olivier Sarkozy, in April.
Mom's Message to Woman on Facebook Who Told Her She Isn't a "Real Parent"
There are many ways women become moms, but the way you became a child's mama has no effect on how "real" of a parent you are. That's why when one woman's mom status was questioned by someone on Facebook, she felt the need to clap back to let her know just how wrong she is.
"A woman on Facebook tried to tell me I wasn't a real parent since I didn't give birth," wrote Reddit user vietnamazinggg. "My response to her: I did not give birth to my child. I did not get to feel him growing within me, or hold him against my skin when he was born. Perhaps by your definition, my child is not a part of me - he does not resemble me or my wife."
Although this mom and her wife adopted their son, she has plenty of thoughts on what it actually means to be a mother, aside from giving birth to your child.
Let me tell you what being a parent is to me. I didn't labor for hours for this child, I labored for YEARS. I waited for years to be told that we had been chosen, that we were finally going to be allowed to be parents. I didn't feel labor pains. I felt the incredible pain of emptiness in my heart and home as my wife and I yearned to begin our family through adoption. I didn't get to wake up in the middle of the night and nurse my sweet child. I did, though, spend many nights lying awake and praying to whomever might be listening to let us be next. Asking myself why we hadn't been chosen yet. Poring over adoption profiles and sending endless email inquiries on children available for adoption and being told no, no, no over and over again.
And like you said, "you can't possibly understand that feeling." I feel certain you have absolutely no idea. . . . Not every child is yours or a "part of you" because you grew it inside of you. My child will always be a part of me, because we're fighting for this life together.
Her profound argument on motherhood has received a number of positive comments from both those who support her speaking up for herself, as well as those with adoptive or step-children who have been through similar situations. And if you didn't have enough time to read through everything this mom had to say, she has a handy TL;DR for everyone (though mostly, I imagine, for the woman who originally questioned her): "F*ck you. I'm a mom."

Alexander and Bill Skarsgard Have a Brotherly Outing in NYC
Good looks certainly run in this family! On Monday, Alexander and Bill Skarsgard enjoyed some brotherly bonding in NYC ahead of the Met Gala. The famous siblings looked cool and casual in white tees, jeans, olive jackets, and shades as they walked around the city.

These Stars Switched Up Their Looks Big Time For Katy Perry's Afterparty
After the Met Gala red carpet wrapped, dinner was served, selfies were snapped, and performances were enjoyed, Katy Perry invited everyone to The Standard for an afterparty. Celebs, supermodels, and designers made it out to The Boom Boom Room in outfits that were definitely more comfortable and less costume-like than their original floor-sweeping gowns.
In fact, Brie Larson and Jenna Lyons even kept it super casual in jeans. But there are always the ladies who think of a second gathering as an opportune moment to show off another good look they scooped right off the runway (Elle Fanning, we're looking at you). Scroll to see the wide variety here, before checking out the sexiest numbers we saw all night.

Holographic Eyeliner Is the Latest Galactic Trend Blowing Up on Instagram
Time to dig up last year's holiday wrapping paper and tinsel to try out Instagram's new fad: holographic eyeliner. The style is starting to pop up on Instagram as the latest iteration of the unicorn/galaxy trend.
Women trying these looks out are stating their inspiration as Pat McGrath and Vlada Haggerty. And according to them, it's pretty easy to DIY! Just create your normal eye makeup look - bold brows, lush lashes, etc. Cut a tight-lined or superwinged eyeliner piece out of your most festive piece of holographic paper. Eyelash glue is how you can adhere it to your skin. We even saw someone try a "shattered glass" look, inspired by this K-Beauty trend.

Halle Berry's Met Gala Hairstyle Looks Like a Standard Updo - Until You See It From the Back
Many stars attempt to look like royalty at the Met Gala, but in our minds, this year's red carpet queen was Halle Berry. You may not have noticed, but the actress was wearing an actual crown!
Celebrity stylist Castillo flawlessly balanced elegance and opulence with a rolled ponytail bun. His inspiration came from the star's Versace gown. "At first, I wanted to do something pretty and down the back, but then realized I wanted to keep the look all about the dress," he told POPSUGAR via email. "I didn't want to take away from the elements that made this dress amazing, so I decided to pull the hair back and do an elegant low bun with a crown at the top."
After creating a center part on hair prepped with MarulaOil Rare Oil Style Extending Primer ($30), Castillo created loose and natural waves on Halle using a mix of Neuro hot tools, including two unclipped curling irons and the Smooth Iron. He then brushed hair into a low pony, backcombed it for volume, and rolled and pinned it up into a bun, topping it with a crown.
If you plan on DIYing this for your next major event, know that great texture is the key to the look. "That's really going to lend itself to create a shape that doesn't sit flat and add volume to the bun or chignon you're creating," explained Castillo. Read on to see the stunning style from all angles.
