The Real Annabelle Is Actually a Raggedy Ann Doll - and It's Terrifying
Image Source: Flickr user volvob12b
June of 2019 marked the release of Annabelle Comes Home, which is a spinoff of the first Annabelle movie and, technically, yet another entry into The Conjuring universe that revolves around famed paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren. In its Hollywood context, the Annabelle doll first appears in 2013's The Conjuring (but, sadly, not in The Conjuring 2) as a pretty gnarly little object with some quite impressive drag queen eyebrows. What you might not know is that the doll has been totally creeped up for the big screen, and, in actuality, is just a vintage Raggedy Ann doll. Believe what you will, but the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren have a full account of Annabelle on their official website, and it's one hell of a haunting tale.
1. The Beginning
According to the Warrens, the story of the Annabelle doll began in 1970 when a woman purchased an antique Raggedy Ann doll from a hobby store. The doll was a gift for her daughter Donna, who had just graduated from college. Within a few days, the doll began to move. At first, it just made slight changes in position, but the doll eventually began moving to entirely different rooms.
Things quickly escalated. Donna would find parchment paper with notes scribbled on it. They would say things like "Help us" in childish writing. When Donna found blood inexplicably dripping out of the doll, she called a medium.
According to the medium, they were dealing with the spirit of a little girl named Annabelle Higgins. Apparently, young Annabelle had lived on the property before it became Donna's apartment building. She was found dead at just 7 years old. She wanted to be kept and loved by Donna and her roommate.

2. The Haunting
Donna had a friend named Lou who faced Annabelle's wrath the most. Lou apparently was not a huge fan of the doll and repeatedly told Donna that it was evil. One night, he said he spotted the doll at the foot of his bed. It floated up from his feet and began to strangle him. He blacked out from the oxygen deprivation and didn't wake up until the next morning.
In another instance, Lou believed that someone had broken into the apartment but only found the doll in Donna's room. When he turned his back, he suffered scratches that yielded seven burning claw marks. At this point, Donna decided to seek expert help. She tried to contact a member of the church but was quickly referred to the Warrens.

3. The Warrens' Involvement
After a local priest put them in touch with Donna, Ed and Lorraine conducted an investigation and quickly decided that the doll was not attached to the spirit of a little girl at all. In fact, in the Warrens' expert opinion, a violent demonic entity was using the doll as a conduit. Since demons can't possess inanimate objects, this spirit had hoped to hang around long enough to possess one of the occupants of the apartment. The Warrens decided to exorcise the apartment and take Annabelle home with them.
Even on the way home, the Warrens claimed that the entity became hateful and angry. They almost swerved into multiple accidents, their brakes and power steering failed, and their car completely stalled out. After Ed Warren splashed the doll with holy water, things quieted down.
The next few weeks yielded more of the same for the Warrens. Annabelle would appear to levitate or switch rooms. Even after locking her away in their office, she would move to the living room. At one point, they hired a Catholic exorcist who verbally and physically assaulted the doll and got into a serious car accident shortly thereafter. Eventually, the Warrens had a special case made for Annabelle, and she's remained there ever since.

The cool thing is, 2013's The Conjuring pays homage to this story. In the first scene, we meet the women who have been dealing with the terrible wrath of Annabelle. They are being interviewed by Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). The couple decides take her home and lock her in her case. Of course, she does some really intense stuff from there, but we'll leave all that to the movies.
24 Pictures of Meghan Markle, but Matched With Megan Thee Stallion's Lyrics
Megan Thee Stallion took the world by storm with her Hot Girl Summer movement, and thankfully, the Houston rapper isn't going anywhere anytime soon. But there's another famous Meghan out there who also had herself a Hot Girl Summer, from meeting Beyoncé at The Lion King's London premiere to guest-editing an issue of British Vogue and cheering on BFF Serena Williams at the US Open.
Not only did Meghan Markle make time for a little work and play during her maternity leave - the 38-year-old welcomed son Archie Harrison in May - but I also want to believe that maybe, just maybe, she checked out some of Megan Thee Stallion's music for herself this year. The thought of the Duchess of Sussex listening to "Cash Sh*t" while pregaming for an event with Prince Harry or rapping along to "Big Ole Freak" in the shower just puts a huge smile on my face, which is why I've rounded up a handful of Meghan photos that pair perfectly with Megan lyrics. From brushing off the haters to securing the bag, scroll through to see them now.
Adele Officially Files For Divorce From Simon Konecki After 2 Years of Marriage
Adele and husband Simon Konecki called it quits after two years of marriage back in April, and now the singer has officially filed for divorce. The 31-year-old star, who's known for hit songs like "Hello" and "Rolling in the Deep," filed on Thursday, Sept. 12, after more than seven years with the entrepreneur-philanthropist.
The former couple initially announced their separation in April, with the singer's rep confirming their split to the Associated Press. "Adele and her partner have separated," the statement read. "They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment."
Adele first confirmed her romance with Simon, with whom she shares a 6-year-old son named Angelo, in a blog post back in 2012. Five years later, the duo sparked marriage rumors when they both stepped out wearing matching gold bands in LA. Adele later confirmed the reports at the Grammys that same year while accepting her award for album of the year.

Reminder: This Is What It's Bill Skarsgard Looks Like Under All That Scary Clown Makeup
Image Source: Everett Collection, Getty / Jamie McCarthy
With a new addition to the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's bone-chilling It now in theaters, that means Pennywise the Clown has also arrived to terrorize us. While the spooky villain appeared more as a standard clown in the 1990 miniseries (crisp white face paint, a red nose, bright red hair, Gwen Stefani in 2000-thin eyebrows), the latest version of Pennywise is significantly more horrifying. So, who's the man underneath the clown's fearsome veneer in It Chapter Two? It's Swedish actor Bill Skarsgard once again!
You might recognize Skarsgard's name thanks to older brother Alexander Skarsgard, famous for True Blood and Big Little Lies or their father, longtime actor and Thor star Stellan Skarsgard. It and its sequel also aren't his first forays into horror. After racking up a host of roles in movies like Simple Simon (for which he was nominated for the Swedish equivalent of an Oscar), Anna Karenina, and Victoria, he starred on all three seasons of Netflix's Hemlock Grove as Roman Godfrey, a half vampire.
Since then, he's gone on to play Matthew in the dystopian YA series Allegiant and German informant Merkel in 2017 spy thriller Atomic Blonde. More recently he popped up as Zeitgeist in 2018's Deadpool 2 and starred in another King adaptation, Castle Rock, on Hulu.
So, while you might feel your heart leap into your throat when you first lay eyes on Pennywise - who's gritty, scarred, and giving new meaning to the phrase "ten-head" - just know that there's a pretty sexy, normal Swedish guy underneath all those prosthetics.

Fact: The Year's Greatest Movie Scene Is Jennifer Lopez Stripping to Fiona Apple in Hustlers
The first time Jennifer Lopez struts onscreen in Hustlers is a freakin' revelation. As Ramona, the veritable queen of her seedy domain, she's introduced to audiences in a glittering, silver, floor-length coat and hat, both of which she soon ditches as she begins a flashy, acrobatic pole dancing routine (which will make your abs sore just from watching it). She spins. She twirls. She flips upside down. She revels in the tidal wave of dollar bills thrown her way. And this is all set to a song that might at first seem unexpected, if not bizarre, before you realize there's nothing else that could have quite done Ramona justice: Fiona Apple's "Criminal."
"Doesn't money make you horny?" she says afterward, clutching an armful of money to her glistening chest as she walks by Constance Wu's Destiny, the club's newest and most naive dancer, before heading back to the dressing room. It's everything you need to know about Ramona distilled into one perfect, sexy opener.
"This is the first time you see my character. It's sexy, it's dangerous," Lopez explained of the scene during a video diary documenting her crash course in pole dancing. "[Ramona] has the whole game on lock. From what she does [in the club], to how she treats these people and how she talks to them . . . I'm going for 'get money.' These guys come in here, and they want sexy, slutty, dirty fantasy."
The mini-documentary shows just how hard Lopez worked on Ramona's opening routine, earning plenty of bruises to her legs and arms in the process. But in the end she admits it was totally worth it, adding a level of authenticity to Ramona's grit. Apple's haunting 1996 track, off her album Tidal, is a genius choice for the scene as well. Rather than having Ramona writhing around to a base-heavy party song, she moves to lyrics like, "I've been a bad, bad girl," and "What I need is a good defense / Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal." (Hopefully you don't need me to tell you why those lyrics resonate.)

Camila Cabello's Hilarious Music Video For "Liar" Is Basically Our Worst Nightmare
On Thursday Morning, Camila Cabello dropped her second new music video in a week - this time for new song "Liar" - and we have a lot of feelings. The video is giving us serious Groundhog Day vibes for starters, with Cabello hilariously reliving the same nightmare over and over (and over) again. It starts with Cabello sitting down for lunch with her fiancé, who is an insufferable billionaire that clearly sees her as a trophy and is exceptionally rude to their waiter - one of the most universally hated personality traits of all time.
After the initial scene plays out, the song kicks off just as Cabello starts literally choking on a lie; and so begins a series of out-there scenarios that sees Cabello repeatedly die, then wake up in bed with her awful fiancé. The video is a mixture of sugary imagery and out there death scenes, but don't you worry, there's a happy ending before the video finishes. Last week, Cabello dropped "Liar" within a day of releasing "Shameless," both songs from her new album, Romance, and you can catch the full video above.

A Dermatologist Explains Why You Can't Stop Sweating After a Shower (and How to Prevent It)
Ever get out of the shower, only to end up dripping sweat? It's super annoying and kind of defeats the purpose of showering in the first place - but there are several reasons this phenomenon occurs, according to Shilpi Khetarpal, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic.
"Hot water that remains on the skin and hair continues to warm the body after a shower," Dr. Khetarpal told POPSUGAR. "The vapor from hot water, combined with the warmer temperature, raises the humidity and temperature of the bathroom, which thereby raises body temperature and makes one sweat." If the sweating seems to get worse once you start toweling off, the very act of drying your skin may be contributing to the problem. "Rubbing the skin with a towel creates friction, which also creates heat," she said. "Also, if the clothing and towel used after a shower are warm, they can immediately warm the body and lead to sweating."
You're also more likely to sweat after a hot shower if you're fevered or have just finished exercising, since both of these cause an increase in basal body temperature.
So, is there a way to prevent it, or at least lessen the sweating? Dr. Khetarpal had a few suggestions. First, try to wait 20 to 30 minutes after a workout before hopping in the shower. "This will help to lower body temperature and decrease perspiring," she said.
Once you're in the shower, you might try slowly turning down the hot water before you attempt to step out. "Gradually lower the amount of hot water in the shower in an attempt to cool the body down," she said. "It takes around 10 seconds for the body to acclimate to the new temperature, so it can continued to be turned down, in 10-second increments, to lower body temperature." Try rinsing your hair with this cooler water, too. This way, "hot water isn't left in the scalp and hair, which can heat the head."
Keep the bathroom as well-ventilated as possible, and when you're finished showering, get out of that humid environment as quickly as possible. If you're still hot, Dr. Khetarpal recommends soaking a wash cloth in cold water and applying it to your face and scalp, which should help you cool off.

The New Trailer For Last Christmas Is Making Us Even More Excited For the Festive Season
Last Christmas is a delightful holiday movie to add to our December lineup that just so happens to also have a crazy good cast. And now we have another trailer to get us excited for the festive season.
The movie stars Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), and Emma Thompson (who also wrote the screenplay), and it's directed by Paul Feig (the man behind Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor). Set in London, the romantic comedy follows Kate (Clarke), a struggling singer who has experienced a life-threatening illness in the past and currently works at a Christmas shop (she spends most of the film dressed as an adorable elf).
In the trailer, it appears Golding's character, Tom, continually keeps appearing in Kate's life (which he claims isn't an accident . . . hinting at a possible It's a Wonderful Life kind of scenario?), using his charm to help her realize just how great of a person she really is. But this wouldn't be a romantic comedy without the comedy, which both Clarke and Thompson, who plays her mother (who appears to be Eastern European in the film), bring in spades with their sarcasm and awkwardness (in Clarke's case).
In the comments section of the trailer on YouTube, fans aren't just sharing their excitement for the holiday film - they're also reflecting on the life-altering condition that Clarke's character Kate reveals to have in the trailer. The plot line draws a strong parallel to the real-life experiences of the actor, who recently opened up about suffering two nearly-fatal brain aneurysms in her 20s.
Watch the new international trailer above and the original trailer from August ahead. We give you permission to officially start the holiday countdown (but not festive music, just yet). Last Christmas hits theaters on Nov. 8.

I Want to Be Wearing That: Miley Cyrus's Date-Night Outfit
After making an appearance at the Bowery Street subway station for the Tom Ford show during New York Fashion Week, Miley Cyrus stepped out with her girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, for dinner at La Esquina in the city. Both women opted for full black outfits, with Kaitlynn in a leather miniskirt and Miley in a cropped tee, trousers, and long, oversize blazer.
Miley accessorized with silver cap-toe pointed boots, a Christian Dior saddle bag, a Chanel chain-link necklace, and yellow tinted Gucci aviators, the obvious statement piece here. While I tend to think of my Fall date-night staples as a pair of statement earrings and a slip dress (isn't that easy enough?!), Miley was certainly making the case for something more rocker and retro. I'm so into this idea, I'm shopping her look piece by piece before the weekend comes.
Miley's always been creative with her style, but she's giving me a better reason than ever to put a little more effort into my Friday night ensemble, rather than just grabbing the closest, slinkiest thing I can find in my closet, ripping it off the hanger, and heading out the door. Scroll to see how I'm about to re-create Miley's moment and join me in some shopping.
Shop clockwise from top left: H&M Ribbed Tank Top ($13), Chanel CC Necklace ($599), Mango Lapels Wool Coat ($130), Gucci Tinted Aviator Sunglasses ($314), Jeffrey Campbell Defence Western Boots ($175), Dior Saddle Bag in Black Calfskin ($3,350), Zara Chino Fit Pants ($50)
The New Trailer For Last Christmas Is Making Us Even More Excited For the Festive Season
Last Christmas is a delightful holiday movie to add to our December lineup that just so happens to also have a crazy good cast. And now we have another trailer to get us excited for the festive season.
The movie stars Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), and Emma Thompson (who also wrote the screenplay), and it's directed by Paul Feig (the man behind Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor). Set in London, the romantic comedy follows Kate (Clarke), a struggling singer who has experienced a life-threatening illness in the past and currently works at a Christmas shop (she spends most of the film dressed as an adorable elf).
In the trailer, it appears Golding's character, Tom, continually keeps appearing in Kate's life (which he claims isn't an accident . . . hinting at a possible It's a Wonderful Life kind of scenario?), using his charm to help her realize just how great of a person she really is. But this wouldn't be a romantic comedy without the comedy, which both Clarke and Thompson, who plays her mother (who appears to be Eastern European in the film), bring in spades with their sarcasm and awkwardness (in Clarke's case).
In the comments section of the trailer on YouTube, fans aren't just sharing their excitement for the holiday film; they're also reflecting on the life-altering condition that Clarke's character Kate reveals to have in the trailer. The plot line draws a strong parallel to the real-life experiences of the actor, who recently opened up about suffering two nearly-fatal brain aneurysms in her 20s.
Watch the new international trailer above, and the original trailer from August below. We give you permission to officially start the holiday countdown (but not festive music, just yet). Last Christmas hits theaters on Nov. 8.
The First Trailer:
Disney Princesses Would Be Big Fans of the Romantic Puff-Sleeve Dress Trend
The puff-sleeve dress trend is hands down one of the biggest trends to come out of 2019. I've completely fallen head over heels in love with this trend because it's easy, statement-making, and takes minimal effort to style. While the trend has been making headway for some time now, we've seen these sleeves become bigger and bolder during this Fashion Week season. Case in point? Cecilie Bahnsen's show during Copenhagen Fashion Week was full of ethereal designs with puff sleeves that can only be described as swoon-worthy. Other designers like Johanna Ortiz, Silvia Tcherassi, and Staud have followed suit with this dreamy detail.
When I look at the trend, I can't help but think of certain Disney princesses. The silhouette reminds me of the iconic blue gown Cinderella wore to the ball. Even The Little Mermaid's Ariel wore a stunning, white puff-sleeve gown for her wedding to Prince Eric in the movie. It's no wonder I feel so regal whenever I wear one! If you're wondering how to style the look, read on to see how some very stylish women have done it. Then, shop some of our favorite picks if you're inspired to give the trend a try, too.

It Doesn't Get Much Sexier Than This Dance Choreography Set to Normani's "Motivation"
My upcoming weekend plans, you ask? Attempting to memorize this high-energy dance routine set to Normani's "Motivation" (keyword: attempting).

Ellen DeGeneres Could Not Keep It Together During This Hidden-Camera Prank With Melissa McCarthy
Ellen DeGeneres teamed up with Melissa McCarthy to execute a hidden-camera prank on Tuesday, and you better believe the results were LOL-worthy. It all went down at a local dry cleaners in Burbank, CA, where Melissa walked in with a heaping pile of clothes in hand and an earpiece installed so Ellen could tell her exactly what to do and say the entire time. Melissa kicked things off by telling an innocent employee at the front counter how she took Tylenol PM and drank "sleepy-time tea," which made her feel "pretty f*cked up." The 49-year-old actress then rattled off a handful of "inspiring quotes" before pretending to faint - pretty convincingly, might I add. Throughout the entire prank, Ellen could hardly keep it together as she barked orders between fits of laughter from her studio. These two make quite the hilarious duo! Watch the prank unfold above.

Yes, You Can Drink Wine on a Low-Carb Diet, but Take This Dietitian's Advice
If you've decided to follow a low-carb diet, you know there are some foods you'll need to limit or even restrict. So, what about wine? Your drink of choice isn't off the menu completely, but you'll need to be mindful about the type of wine you're drinking, as well as how much.
If you choose a particularly sweet wine, it's likely higher in carbs, and the empty calories could slow down your progress. "All wines have alcohol calories plus carbohydrates, and wine has varying amounts of sugar added to it, so while a dry wine may not have a lot of carbs, a sweet wine can almost count as a dessert," Julie Stefanski, RDN, owner of Stefanski Nutrition Services in York, PA, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told POPSUGAR. "Most of the time the amount of added sugar isn't offered up on a nutrition label like a snack, so you have to guess with your taste buds and help from your server how many carbs a glass might set you back."
Julie explained that wine can also have unpredictable effects on a person's blood sugar levels. "Individuals with diabetes are always told to drink any alcohol with food to help prevent a low blood sugar level after drinking," she said. It's wise to do the same while following a low-carb diet, since keeping your blood sugar stable can help prevent cravings.
Bottom line: "If you're following a low-carb diet, it's best to opt for just one glass of a dry wine and count the carbs as part of your meal," Julie said. Cheers!
