61 Pics That Prove Camila Mendes Is Just as Sexy IRL as Veronica Lodge Is on Riverdale
Besides being one half of the best frenemies since Blair Waldorf and Serena Van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, Camila Mendes - also known as Veronica Lodge on Riverdale - has graced us with some seriously steamy looks. The 25-year-old beauty only appeared on the scene two years ago, but we already can't imagine life without her crazy-hot Instagram feed, sexy swimsuit shots, and flawless brow game. Here are just 50 of Camila's sexiest moments (as if you needed more reasons to be obsessed with the Riverdale cast).
A Reminder on What Happened the Last Time Jordan Was on Bachelor in Paradise
The cast of Bachelor in Paradise season six is full of faces we've gotten to know this year and some that require a little thinking power in your memory bank. Flip to the file where you hold all your Paradise season five memories, because we need to talk about Jordan Kimball. The model found what he thought would be his forever with Jenna Cooper, but it quickly went to a nightmare. Now he's back for another shot at love at the Mexican resort.
Jordan was a villain during his time on The Bachelorette season 14. The other contestants were not fond of his behavior as he tried to win Becca Kufrin's heart. However, when he got to Paradise, we got to see a sweeter, more loving side of him, and Bachelor Nation began to have a change of heart. He instantly had a connection with Jenna.
Their relationship got serious, like really serious, and Jordan got down on one knee during the finale. Shortly after the pretaped finale reunion aired - where we learned the two had chosen a wedding date and venue, and asked Chris Harrison to officiate it - cheating rumors began circulating.
According to a report that came into the possession of Reality Steve, a Bachelor franchise spoiler blogger, Jenna was cheating on Jordan with a mystery man. The screenshots showed messages that were allegedly sent by Jenna. The gist of them was that Jenna went on the show for her business and thought of her relationship with Jordan as part of the journey.
"Me and Jordan aren't together for real," she said in a message. "I'm better than him and once I'm able to I'll break it off for good and make up some story to make him look bad if it'll make you feel better. He means nothing to me and never has."
Terrible, right? Well, after that finale reunion aired, Jenna put out a statement to People, saying that the allegations were "untrue." However, Jordan told the magazine that he believed the report was true and that his feelings for Jenna hadn't been just a TV romance. Jordan announced in an Instagram post on Sept. 12 that he and Jenna were breaking up. A couple days later, Jenna did her own Instagram post where she again denied cheating and said the claims were "fabricated." It seemed like her intention was to win Jordan back, but the damage was done.
Hopefully enough time has passed that Jordan is ready to open his heart again. It is possible to find your soulmate on Bachelor in Paradise, as we've seen with multiple couples, so maybe the second time around will be his charm.

Yes, You Can Still Work Out Outside, Even If You Have Allergies - Here's How to Do It
If you prefer to exercise outdoors, but you're worried that it will only make your seasonal allergies worse, your fears aren't totally unfounded. After all, the more time you spend outside, the more likely you are to be exposed to allergens, whether you're most sensitive in the Spring, Summer, or Fall. Even worse, if your symptoms do flare up, it can make your workouts less effective.
"If you have allergies, you can have a harder time working out because your ability to breathe out of your nose and lungs is compromised due to inflammation that affects your airways," Payel Gupta, MD, a board-certified allergist and immunologist at ENT & Allergy Associates in New York City, told POPSUGAR. Still, exercising with allergies is possible. Here are three strategies for making it work.

Can We Discuss Rue's Fate in Euphoria's Season 1 Finale? Because I Have Some Thoughts
Ever since we met Rue Bennett in the premiere of HBO's teen drama Euphoria, she's been teetering on the razor-sharp edge of sobriety and self-destruction, with her only saving grace appearing in the form of her new best friend, Jules. But their intense relationship is constantly in danger of crumbling thanks to outside elements and Rue's own addiction. It all comes to a head during the season one finale, "And Salt the Earth Behind You." At the end of the tumultuous episode, we're left questioning if Rue's relapse has led to her ultimate demise and how that will play out in season two. Warning: spoilers for the end of the Euphoria finale ahead!
Let's rewind the clock to the beginning of the finale. After the events of the seventh episode, in which Jules falls into bed with someone else while visiting an old friend and Rue digs into the mystery of Jules's relationship with Nate, episode eight opens with Rue in the hospital with a kidney infection. She enjoys the anxiety-free care of the hospital for three days (noting that she loves hospitals because "when you're in a hospital, you have zero responsibilities") and gets a visit from a concerned Jules.
"Did all this happen because I left?" Jules asks her, but Rue promises that isn't the case. Jules apologizes for not telling Rue the whole truth about Nate from the beginning, implying that she's confessed the dirty truth of it all: that Nate was her catfish and he blackmailed her with the nude photos she sent him to get her to lie to the police about seeing Tyler assault Maddy.
Later, it seems like things are copacetic between the two as they get ready for their Winter formal together, but it's obvious that Rue and Jules are still on different wavelengths. The two haven't been able to put a title and boundaries on their relationship, which makes it more awkward when Jules tells Rue about her hooking up with Anna while she was out of town. When they get to the dance, Jules continually texts the other girl and sneaks away to send her selfies from the bathroom, leaving Rue with their friends. When Rue finds her in one of the stalls, Jules asks why Rue doesn't ever kiss her. "I kiss you," Rue shyly insists, but Jules says she wants Rue to kiss her like she wants her "so bad that you don't even ask."
What will Rue do when Jules eventually grows tired of their suburb and leaves her behind?
Jules is likely referencing her tryst with Anna, where the older girl bit her hard enough to leave a bruise that the two teens marveled over before the dance, but Rue isn't able to come up with an answer in the moment. Jules quickly moves on, deciding they need to dance instead, but the moment lingers in Rue's mind. When she later goes to confront Nate for calling the cops on Fez, he fires back with a rhetorical question: what will Rue do when Jules eventually grows tired of their suburb and leaves her behind?
The question spurs Rue into suggesting to Jules that they pack up and board a train to anywhere, leaving everything behind. Jules is totally on board, but by the time they get to the train station, Rue is fully second-guessing the plan. She voices her uncertainty several times to Jules, and even though Jules resorts to begging and telling Rue she loves her, Rue stays behind instead as Jules rides away to an undisclosed location.
As Rue makes her way back home, she slips into a panic attack, sobbing as she mentally cycles through memories of her life - good times with her mother and sister, a brutal argument with her mother that ends with Rue getting slapped, and her father's heartbreaking death. When she gets home, she snorts a line of drugs before collapsing back onto her bed. What follows is an intriguing musical sequence that sees Rue messily wandering the halls of her home to go outside, where she's carried around by a performing choir, being lifted up and moved around like a puppet. When it comes to a close, Rue climbs atop a pile of bodies, standing there for a moment, before diving off the edge and out of sight. The last frame of the episode is a bright light shining on the empty space where Rue was standing moments before; then the screen turns black and a male voice states, "Until then."
The most obvious explanation is that Rue's relapse has taken us full circle to the beginning of the season, and she's overdosed once more. Except this time, her overdose has killed her and the theory about her narration taking place from beyond the grave is proven true. But there's another way to look at this scene, and it all depends on listening to the lyrics of the closing song, "All For Us."
Zendaya sings, "When it all comes down to it / I hope one of you come back to remind me of who I was / When I go disappear / Into that good night." The phrase "that good night" likely references death, which is famously referenced as such in Dylan Thomas's poem, "Do not go gentle into that good night." Much like the poem, Rue relapsing isn't about her deciding to die after ending her relationship with Jules, it's about her difficult path to resisting death.
Yes, she's done this incredibly f*cked-up thing by turning back to drugs, but that's her innate self-destruction rearing its ugly head. She's slipped after doing one of the hardest things she's ever had to do, which is pick her family over her love for Jules. She's taken this giant leap (get it?) away from what she's seen as her light, and it's led to her falling over the edge she had been tiptoeing over for the past eight episodes. But as the lyrics say, when it all comes down to it, she's hoping someone will remind her that bad times still happen in the good ones and she can still be that happy person she was before she relapsed.
There's no way of knowing what season two of Euphoria will bring, but we're optimistic it won't be the end of Rue's story.

Taylor Swift Is a Total Knockout as She Attends the Teen Choice Awards
Taylor Swift looked absolutely stunning at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. After enjoying a fun night out on the town with friends on Saturday night (and becoming a meme for "Drunk Taylor"), the "ME!" singer hit the carpet in Hermosa Beach, CA. Taylor looked lovely in a rainbow blazer and romper as she flashed a smile for photographers.
The last time Taylor graced the Teen Choice Awards was all the way back in 2014. At the time, the former country star had just crossed over to the pop genre with the release of her then-new single "Shake It Off" from her 1989 album. This time around, she is set to receive the first-ever icon award for her incredible achievements. Seeing how much Taylor has evolved over the years, we must say the honor is well-deserved. See more from her latest appearance ahead.

Chris Hemsworth's Trainer Challenged Him to the "Devil's Workout," and Guess Who Won?
Hey, did you know Chris Hemsworth is really strong? Did you want a reminder? Chris gifted Instagram today with a workout video worthy of the iconically ripped god-slash-superhero that he played in the Avengers movies. This is rarer than it probably sounds; despite his famous muscles and the fitness and health program, Centr, that he curates, Chris doesn't actually share a whole lot of workouts on social media. Which is fine - it's fine - because his sense of humor, career, adorable family, and iconically Australian exploits keep followers more than satisfied. (Throwback to the time this man went surfing in a suit.) But on the occasions the God of Thunder does post a workout, well. The internet pays attention.
"This is the devil's workout," says Chris' trainer and Centr fitness expert, Luke Zocchi, and we're inclined to believe him. Six exercises, six reps of each, for six rounds (six-six-six . . . we see you) and these moves aren't just, like, burpees. Which would be hard enough! No, Chris gets things started with a barbell deadlift to overhead press to triceps extension. Then it's on to an inclined pull-up. Then a one-armed kettlebell lunge with another overhead press. Some kind of resistance band upper-body move while balancing on a Bosu ball. You guys, I'm making these names up right now because I've never even seen them before.
The whole time Luke is one move behind Chris, trying to catch him and pushing him to go faster, which is a quality workout buddy move if we've ever seen one. "Five more rounds! It burns, doesn't it?" Chris says at the end, while Luke stumbles off to collapse on the ground.
We'll take his word for it. After a circuit like this, chucking Mjolnir around is probably a freakin' breeze.
