Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Make Out Like There's No Tomorrow in NYC
Turns out if it ends, you can still be friends . . . and then maybe, something more! Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have reignited the flames of their former relationship and things just keep heating up. While the duo dated from 2015 to 2016, they were recently spotted getting cozy in Miami and quickly confirmed their new relationship status: they're back together.
Shortly after the couple's announcement, TMZ released an exclusive video of Justin and Hailey kissing with no reservations in Brooklyn. The pair's romantic New York outing didn't stop there, either. They eventually switched hookup spots and continued kissing in Rockefeller Park, later that night. Looks like this is one rekindled romance that just can't be contained.
JAY-Z Admits He Purposely Skipped Kanye and Kim's Wedding in a Revealing New Song
JAY-Z and Beyoncé shocked the world with the release of their joint album, Everything Is Love, on Saturday. On the surprise LP, the proud parents take aim at their own marital strife, digs from President Trump, and, yes, even Kanye West. In case you haven't been keeping up, JAY and Kanye have been feuding since 2016 after Kanye ranted about the 4:44 rapper on stage. At the time, Kanye said he was upset JAY didn't call him following Kim Kardashian's robbery incident in Paris.
In 2017, Kanye exited from TIDAL streaming service claiming he was owed "more than $3 million" in fees. Later that year, JAY-Z broke his silence on their rift, telling hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson that he was "hurt" when Kanye brought up his daughter, Blue Ivy, during one of his Saint Pablo tour rants. In another interview with T: The New York Times Styles Magazine, the doting dad revealed he was on speaking terms with the Ye rapper, saying, "I love Kanye. I do. It's a complicated relationship with us."
In May, Kanye opened up to radio personality Charlamagne tha God about JAY-Z and Beyoncé's glaring absence at his wedding in 2014. "Respectfully, I have to say I was hurt that they didn't come to the wedding," he shared. "I understand they were going through some things, but if it's family, you're not gonna miss a wedding." Fast-forward to Everything Is Love, and JAY-Z is spilling the full tea on why he purposely chose to skip Kim and Kanye's lavish ceremony.
"I ain't goin' to nobody nothin' when me and my wife beefin' / I don't care if the house on fire, I'm dyin', n*gga, I ain't leavin'/" the 48-year-old raps on the sixth track aptly titled "Friends." "Ty-Ty take care of my kids, after he done grievin' / If y'all don't understand that, we ain't meant to be friends," he concludes.
The candid lyrics confirm that JAY-Z chose not to attend because he was dealing with turmoil in his own marriage, which he felt needed to be resolved. On the song, JAY also name-drops a list of people he considers close friends, and Kanye doesn't make the cut. Take with that what you will. Looks like the feud between these two rap titans is far from over.
12 Shirtless John Cena Photos That Are So Sexy, You Won't Know What to Do With Yourself
John Cena may clean up nicely for red carpet events, but in all honesty, we prefer him shirtless in the wrestling ring. Between his bulging biceps and his washboard abs, our mouths are watering just from thinking about them. However, John's shirtless body isn't the only thing we should be obsessing over - the 41-year-old wrestler also has a heart of gold. Not only does he currently hold the title for the most wishes granted by a celebrity for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, but he's also a passionate advocate for breast cancer awareness. Yep, John really is the total package.

23 Reactions to Pixar's Bao, Because We Weren't Expecting to SOB Over a Little Dumpling
The following contains spoilers for the Pixar short film Bao.
Hello, it's me, reporting from the depths of my feels because I still haven't recovered from seeing the Bao Pixar short film last night. Like many others, I flocked to my local theater to see Incredibles 2 and get thrown into some good old Disney nostalgia, 14 years in the making, but I was unprepared for the purely adorable short that played before the main event even began.
Bao is the first Pixar short directed by a woman, Domee Shi, who drew from her own childhood for the sweet film. The short focuses on a baby dumpling and its creator, or "mom," and wow there's something so cute about that little piece of food with legs I can hardly stand it. Plus, those who have seen the short already will know there's an underlying message of family that will truly tug at your heartstrings. I saw the film with my mom and couldn't help but make tearful eye contact with her during the most emotional moments. For those of us who grew up in the original Incredibles generation, Bao is the perfect reminder of our childhood, a transition to adulthood, and the importance of remembering your roots.
After I stepped out of the theater, I scrolled through my Twitter feed and realized many others felt the same way about the short film. If you were a weepy mess like me, reading the following fan reactions will be oh-so relatable . . . and they'll probably convince you to give your mom a call.
Kim Kardashian Causes a Stir in Cornrows at the MTV Movie and TV Awards
Kim Kardashian hit the red carpet with her mom, Kris Jenner, at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in NYC on Saturday. The mother-daughter duo stuck to a black-and-white color palette for their looks and stayed close while posing for photos together. Kim chose to wear her hair in cornrows for the event, which served as a painful reminder of her Bo Derek-inspired photo shoot back in February. The reality TV star and mother of three has come under fire for wearing culturally appropriated looks, but as she told Instagram commenters earlier this year, she gives "zero f*cks."
Kim recently made headlines for helping to free great-grandmother Alice Marie Johnson from jail by urging Donald Trump to grant her clemency on her life sentence. The two women met for the first time in an interview for Today last week, and Kim revealed her plans to continue fighting for prison reform.
Tiffany Haddish Is the Host With the Most at the MTV Movie and TV Awards
Tiffany Haddish stunned when she hit the red carpet for her big night at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in LA on Saturday. Not only did it mark her first-ever appearance at the show, but she also made history as the show's first black female host since the MTV award show began in 1992. When she announced that she'd be hosting the show back in February, she promised it would be hilarious, and with Tiffany, you know that's going to be true. The comedian and actress recently cracked up the crowd when she appeared at POPSUGAR Play/Ground, and you can't help but laugh at some of the hilarious things she shared with us. Check out all the best pictures from Tiffany Haddish's fun night at the MTV Movie and TV Awards.

Ariana Grande and Troye Sivan Defy Expectations With Their Dreamy New Duet
Troye Sivan just dropped his new single, "Dance to This," featuring none other than pop star Ariana Grande, and to be frank, we're shook. The song comes at an undoubtedly perfect time for both artists - Sivan is in the midst of preparing for his Bloom tour, and Grande, who has releases with rap queen Nicki Minaj nearing our headphones, also just announced her recent engagement to her boyfriend of just a few weeks, Pete Davidson.
"Dance to This" embodies everything that, according to Grande's Instagram, makes Sivan the pop king of our generation. And to no surprise, Grande shines at her midsong break, which really ties this single together.
The only thing better than a Sivan/Grande collab, you might be asking? A tour appearance. Or maybe a celebrity friendship we didn't know we needed? More singles? Let's just say all of the above, but while we wait, if you haven't already, listen to this undeniable Summer jam.

Meghan Markle Holds on to Prince Harry After Stumbling at Princess Diana's Niece's Wedding
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out dressed to the nines to attend his cousin's wedding in Rochford, England, on Saturday. The newlyweds were in attendance to witness Princess Diana's niece, Celia McCorquodale, tie the knot with her husband George Woodhouse.

Emma Lahana's Role on Cloak & Dagger Is More Badass Than You Realize
Freeform's Cloak & Dagger already has us hooked, but now we have yet another reason to tune in every week: enter Emma Lahana. The 33-year-old New Zealand actress plays Brigid O'Reilly, a detective on a mission to track down Tandy (Olivia Holt) for a crime she committed. Although the troubled teen was protecting herself from sexual assault, O'Reilly is unaware of the circumstances initially, which naturally complicates things. On the surface, this might sound like your typical episode of Law & Order: SVU, but that's where you'd be wrong.
In the comics, O'Reilly's character is much more powerful than you think. In fact, she becomes a superhuman, just like Tyrone (Cloak) and Tandy (Dagger), after trying - and ultimately dying - to avenge the sketchy men who gave the teens their powers in the first place. Following her resurrection, O'Reilly goes by Mayhem and fights as a vigilante alongside Cloak and Dagger. Her superpowers include a venomous gas that seeps from her pores. The gas paralyzes her victims for an unknown amount of time, according to her Marvel bio. The powerful gas also serves as a "truth serum," which compels those in her path to tell the truth. O'Reilly also has other cool abilities, such as levitation and flight.
If Lahana looks familiar, it's because she's already made a name for herself on the small screen. Fans may recognize her from shows like Supernatural, Stargate Atlantis, or The L Word, but her most famous role would be as Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers S.P.D. and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. Lahana took a five-year break from acting in 2013, but now she's back to chase down bad guys in Cloak & Dagger. As we wait to learn more about her character and whether or not her role will play out just like it does in the comics, it's safe to say fans are excited to see Lahana back on their screens.

Beyoncé and JAY-Z know a thing or two about making people lose their minds at a moment's notice, and that's exactly what happened when the musical duo dropped their surprise joint album on Saturday without warning.

These 21 Reactions to Incredibles 2 Will Assure You It's Marvelous, Darling

The Dramatic Hospital Incident on The Bachelorette Was Actually REALLY Silly
Warning: spoilers for the third episode of The Bachelorette below!
The Bachelorette's 14th season reached its third week on Monday night, and it blessed us with a ton of drama between the guys. It seems a few select dudes have yet to learn from the May 28 premiere, when Becca Kufrin had to defuse a confrontation between two disgruntled suitors and then eliminate someone else before the rose ceremony even began because she knew he wasn't there for the right reasons. The dramatic ups and downs continued in week three when Jordan (the model) and David (the chicken) got into a few verbal disputes, and later David ended up in the hospital, drenched in blood. It turns out he got in a fight with . . . the floor?! Let's back up a second.
In a video preview of the upcoming season released on the night of the premiere (above), we got to see Becca on a plethora of romantic outings with her hunky cast members, which totally checks out since we know she'll get engaged by the time the season wraps up (as for to whom, we're still waiting to find out!). But at the 3:15 mark of the clip, we also discovered that one of the suitors gets seriously injured at some point down the line.
The person was unidentified in the footage, but we knew he was shirtless, covered in blood, and wrapped in bandages and a blanket while being wheeled out by paramedics and into an ambulance. In a voice-over during the ambulance montage, Lincoln describes the situation. "He's lying down in a pool of his own blood, and then I see Blake just screaming," he says. "Like in panic mode."
Fortunately the show doesn't leave us hanging for long! About halfway through the third episode, David is revealed to be the one covered in blood and bandages, and later Chris Harrison heads to Becca's room to fill her in on what happened.
"There was an incident at the house last night. One of your guys was rushed to the hospital and is now in intensive care," he began dramatically. "It was David who got hurt. Busted nose, busted face."
When Becca started to ask which of the other guys did it to him, the longtime host revealed the borderline embarrassing truth: David fell out of his bunk bed and landed on his face. Fortunately David is going be totally fine, and Jordan even installed a small barrier on the side of his bunk so that he won't be able to fall out of bed again. I guess . . . chicks dig scars?

This $23 Primer on Amazon Is Worth Every Pore-Masking Penny
Primer has never been a stable part of my makeup regimen. For years, I went from moisturizer to foundation without a second thought. I had tried primers here and there, but they never seemed to help with the oversize pores on my cheeks - an unsightly byproduct of dehydration, I'm told. I figured it was a small enough problem that I wouldn't bother to be bothered by it . . . but then I tried DHC Velvet Skin Coat.
I had been bumming around on Amazon looking for top-rated products - a hobby I highly recommend if you need to kill some time - and I saw that the tiny $23 tube had been rated a dazzling 4.5 out of five stars by hundreds of reviewers. I'd been a fan of the Japanese skincare company since falling for its luxurious Deep Cleansing Oil ($28) years ago. Could this finally be the primer that solved my pore problems?
Fast-forward to me standing in front of my bathroom mirror, inspecting my skin. After I let my moisturizer dry, I squeezed out a pea-sized amount of the thick, opaque gel onto my finger. It didn't take much to cover my cheeks, nose, and forehead. Smoothing it over my skin, it really did feel like velvet - similar in texture to Benefit's POREfessional Face Primer.
I waited 15 minutes before I slathered on some foundation and continued with the rest of my makeup regimen, and voila! Goodbye, pores.

One of the issues I've had with primer is how unnatural it can feel on my skin. Sometimes they're too sticky, or so thick that my skin feels trapped. The Velvet Skin Coat, however, is extremely breathable. It's very much one of those "your skin, but better" products. While I was impressed by its pore-masking abilities alone, I also noticed that my skin stayed matte throughout the day. For someone prone to overactive oil production, this is a major win.
I'll be keeping this miracle-worker in my arsenal for years to come.
7 Brands That Make Finding the Perfect Concealer Easy AF
Complexion is not one shade fits all, therefore, complexion makeup shouldn't be either. Inclusive shade ranges have been the center of discussion in the beauty space due to disruptive launches (we're looking at you Fenty Beauty) and consumers paying attention to diversity (or lack thereof) in the makeup aisle.
Like foundation, concealer has long been a product category lacking in the color department. And though some are used to chisel and others to brighten, it doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a shade suitable for everyone. While we can all still work to make our makeup shelves a more colorful space, there are a few brands that carry over 20 shades of concealer to cater to people on each end of the color spectrum. We've rounded them up ahead so you can find your match.

Kim Kardashian Walked the Red Carpet With Her Mom, but It Was Her Sexy Outfit That Stole the Show
The 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards red carpet was sexy as hell. Celebrities apparently decided to save their hottest outfits for the award show, and one A-lister who turned heads was Kim Kardashian. The starlet walked the red carpet in an outfit from Atelier Versace with cornrows. (She previously wore the controversial hairstyle during a photo shoot, which landed her in some hot water.)
Kim, who posed for pictures with her mother Kris Jenner, wore a fuzzy white crop top with a long silver sequined skirt. Her figure-hugging skirt featured a daring thigh-high split. Kim finished her red carpet look off with a pair of strappy black heels. Keep reading to get a look at her outfit ahead.

I'm Indian - Why Don't I Ever See Anyone Who Looks Like Me in Fashion?
Fashion has always been a part of my DNA. As a child, I would spend hours dressing up in my mother's clothes, ripping out pages of magazines for things that inspired me, and drawing outfits from my favorite movies. Flash forward to today, fashion is still a huge part of my life, and I've even managed to make a career out of it. But whether I look at bloggers on Instagram or billboards on the street, one important question has always stood out to me: I'm Indian; why don't I ever see anyone who looks like me in fashion?
Growing up, I moved over 12 times, hopping around from cities like Mumbai, New York, and Dubai. Living in these cultural meccas, I often found myself wondering why the media didn't represent the stylish Indian people I saw walking on the streets every day. When I would see an Indian person being represented on TV, I'd quickly realize that they were based on stereotypes rather than the kinds of real people I knew. I'm looking at you, Raj from The Big Bang Theory and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from The Simpsons. (C'mon, Apu's last name is something right out of a racist joke book, don't you think?) Even as I entered my first Fashion Week, it was jarring how I could barely count the number of Indian models I saw on one hand.
Where Are We Now?
When Priyanka Chopra broke onto the scene with ABC's hit show Quantico in 2015, everyone couldn't stop buzzing about how amazing her style was. I, for one, couldn't help cheering from the sidelines, "FINALLY!" But the thing is, Priyanka's amazing style was something I already knew about and, over the years, I had kind of just given up hope that people outside of my community would take notice. It was powerful to see Priyanka make it big because it felt like Indian people were finally a part of the equation and getting some much-needed recognition. I was lucky enough to meet the actress during an event and we instantly bonded over the fact that we both love fashion and we are both Mumbaikars (which is a playful way of saying we both lived in Mumbai). I told Priyanka that it made me proud to see an Indian person making it big in Hollywood and she said that it made her happy because she too was proud to be Indian.
While it's great that Priyanka is getting the recognition she deserves, it's been three years since she broke onto the scene, and she is just one person from a country with a population over 1.3 billion. There are so many other fashionable Indian women out there like Sonam Kapoor, who has over 11 million followers on Instagram. (For scale, that's about the amount of people who live in Belgium or, to make it relatable to fashionistas, the same number of people who follow street style star Chiara Ferragni.) There's also Aishwarya Rai, who has received many accolades for her Cinderella-esque gown at Cannes Film Festival, and Bollywood actress Deepika Pudukone, just to name a few. (If you need any proof of how stylish these women are, just scroll through their Instagrams and you'll see what I'm talking about.) We should be giving more women like them a platform, because everyone's obsession with Priyanka has proved that the world is ready for it.
While it's great that Priyanka is getting the recognition she deserves, it's been three years since she broke onto the scene, and she is just one person from a country with a population over 1.3 billion.
One big missed opportunity was Vogue India's 10-year anniversary issue. Instead of choosing an Indian model or one of the many stylish Bollywood actresses, the magazine decided to "outsource" their talent (yes, I went there) by choosing American supermodel Kendall Jenner to be the cover girl. From a business perspective, I understand that it's a huge deal to land a covetable model like Kendall, but this could've been a huge moment for Indians to showcase some of the amazing, diverse talent we have in our country. It would've been inspiring to see someone Indian on the cover, showing the world that we're proud of our heritage.
Another thing that got everyone buzzing was a Business of Fashion article written by an Indian editor. I opened up Instagram one morning to see that a ton of my friends had posted a specific quote from the article that made them feel extremely marginalized, and it was easy to see why. "They [Indians] may not be the tallest or the conventionally prettiest of models," read the quote. I had many conversations that morning with others who were completely stunned by the fact that a fellow Indian could say something like that. If we perceive ourselves in this light, what stops others from doing the same? Being someone who's been called both "too Indian" and "too Americanized" my entire life, the article made me furious because that statement is so far from the truth. While the editor did apologize stating she meant "Indian models weren't perceived as 'the prettiest' by the Western-centric standards that dominate the fashion market," it still made me sad to think that these so-called beauty standards are so deeply ingrained in our society. Shouldn't every ethnicity be celebrated and considered beautiful? We shouldn't be ripping each other down; we should be embracing each and every individual for who they are, and all of the unique traits they bring to the table.
Beauty companies like Rihanna's Fenty Beauty and Huda Kattan's beauty line are breaking the mold by making it a point to include a diverse range of models in their campaigns and, more importantly, releasing multiple shades of their products. Their lines were instant successes, and people of all different ethnicities couldn't stop expressing their excitement over feeling included for once. The fashion industry should take a cue from these companies and the public's overwhelming cry for more diversity. Honestly it baffles me why designers don't even see this as an opportunity to make more sales. They're all missing out on a huge segment of the population, one that could potentially mean millions of dollars in revenue. What company wouldn't want that?
Where Do We Go From Here?
One Indian woman in the fashion industry that I admire greatly is Roopal Patel, who is the SVP fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. Looking at her career, it makes me proud to see another Indian woman succeeding in the industry, particularly one who is regarded so highly by her peers and designers. I admire Roopal not only because she has a lot of knowledge about the fashion industry, but also because she's managed to forge her own path as one of the only Indian woman directors of a multimillion-dollar retail company. Having even one person with a high-profile fashion job like Roopal's can help inspire a movement in the industry. I know she has already inspired me in my own career.
Even though I am just one person, I've made it my mission to do everything I can to make the situation better. Working at a place like POPSUGAR, I feel like I can voice these issues and unearth Indian brands and designers that mean something to my culture. I've been making a conscious effort to include people of all different backgrounds in my stories in the hopes of making everyone feel more included when they read an article of mine. During my first week at POPSUGAR, I was showing my team pictures from my sister's wedding and everyone was asking questions about what each outfit meant and what exactly one wears to an Indian wedding. I decided to write a couple of posts about it and, just like that, I was already writing about topics that mattered to me.
It's inspiring to see how Ashley Graham and Tess Holliday have managed to start an entire movement about the lack of curve models in the industry. Maybe we can learn from these empowering women and try to get the conversation started in the same way.
This past year has sort of been an awakening for women. There seems to be a growing platform for women of all races to speak out when they feel like they're being marginalized and underappreciated in today's society. While these strides are long overdue, we definitely still have a ways to go. Much like the body-positivity movement, it's time to call for the fashion industry to be more diverse so every young woman can feel like they are being represented in some way. It's inspiring to see how Ashley Graham and Tess Holliday have managed to start an entire movement about the lack of curve models in the industry. Maybe we can learn from these empowering women and try to get the conversation started in the same way. Whether it's by using social media like the #effyourbeautystandards hashtag and calling for Indian bloggers to band together, or simply by sharing this story to spark conversations, we can at least attempt to make a difference.
In the future, I hope to look at the runways of my favorite designers and see Indian models being included, but I wouldn't want it to end there. I would love for all ethnicities to be represented. Call it wishful thinking, but I think it can be accomplished in time. It's the best feeling in the world to see designers like Naeem Khan and Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia pave the way for other Indian designers out there. It gives me hope. After all, fashion is all about dreams. It takes a dream to start a company, it takes a dream to create a collection, and it takes a dream to make even the slightest difference in the world. Maybe one day, this simple dream will become a reality and we can finally look up at a billboard or open up a magazine, and see someone who we relate to looking back at us.

You Think Lea Michele's Wedding Dress Won't Be Sexy? Pssshhhh
Since Lea Michele announced her engagement via Instagram with a post of her new GINORMOUS four-carat diamond ring, we're thinking her bridal style won't exactly be on the understated side of things.

Why This Doctor Recommends Keto (With a Catch)
Would clinical nutritionist Dr. Josh Axe, DNM, DC, CNC, recommend the keto diet? "Absolutely," he told POPSUGAR. But there is a catch. You can't do it forever.
A brief refresher, if you don't already know: the keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet in which you switch your body's primary energy source from carbohydrates to fat (i.e., from glucose to ketones). Up to 80 percent of your calories come from fat - we're not kidding when we say high-fat! That's what differentiates this diet from something like Paleo or Atkins - they're both low-carb, but with keto, the emphasis is on the fats.
"I don't think somebody should be on a full ketogenic diet for more than three months," he said. "What I teach is not that everybody should be on a ketogenic diet - the basis of what I teach is traditional Chinese medicine, or TCM - but if somebody has the goal of overcoming epilepsy, fighting cancer, overcoming blood sugar issues like diabetes, losing weight, or even some hormonal issues, the ketogenic diet is a great temporary diet."
"Everybody is different; depending on somebody's genetics, depending on somebody's health goals or struggles, certain people should be on certain diets," said Dr. Axe. For the patients he believes need the keto diet for what he calls "a breakthrough" in their health, he likes to limit it to three months.
"The ketogenic diet is a great temporary diet."
"When I put my patients on it, it has been for a maximum of three months. I know some people who have been on [the keto diet] and have done it for a year and done well with it. But I don't think people should be on a ketogenic diet fully for more than a year - absolutely not for more than a year."
His reasoning for this is rooted in human history and the biology of our ancestors. As Dr. Axe is a clinical nutritionist with methodology rooted in TCM, this totally makes sense. "If you look at the way our ancestors lived and ate, they would've been what I would call 'keto cycling' - going in and out of ketosis. Our ancestors - they weren't purely ketogenic, and we shouldn't be either. To be completely healthy and to fuel certain systems, going into ketosis can be healthy, but we do need carbohydrates in order for our systems to function."
Dr. Axe cited a handful of small but notable studies with really powerful results from the ketogenic diet, including one on 11 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), two of whom had struggled with infertility due to the disease and both of whom became pregnant after going on the keto diet for 24 weeks. Though the studies have been on smaller groups, they show a strong promise for the diet's efficacy for certain health conditions.
