This Montage of Jerry's Best Cheer Mat Talk Is the Best Way to Start and End Your Day
All hail, Jerry Harris, the King of Mat Talk! The 20-year-old Navarro Cheer athlete has stolen the hearts of Netflix subscribers around the nation with his charisma, and I'm thrilled to his moments of encouragement all in one video. In the docuseries, Jerry brought joy to the gym when his teammates needed it most. "You can hear him from the other side of the floor," fellow cheerleader LaDarius Marshall said. "He don't mat talk just one person. He'll mat talk the entire team and it makes you want to do better as a an athlete."
If you miss Jerry's mat talk in your own life, just press play on Netflix's recent compilation video. The streaming service picked out the all-star's best moments from Cheer season one (fingers crossed for a season two!) and I'm tempted to make this clip part of my daily affirmations. Jerry's hype man status reaches so far, he's mat talking strangers on the street and walking the red carpet as Ellen DeGeneres's Oscars correspondent this year. Can you blame everyone for getting starstruck around him? He's the man with a positive plan.

Fleabag Fans, Get Ready - Phoebe Waller-Bridge's HBO Series Is About to Be Your New Obsession
Fleabag may be over, but Phoebe Waller-Bridge's new comedy thriller Run might just be the show I need to get over the Hot Priest once and for all. The HBO series will star Star Wars's Domnhall Gleeson as Billy Johnson and Marriage Story's Merrett Wever as Ruby Richardson, ex college lovers who make good on a pact they've kept for 17 years.
After Billy texts Ruby the word "RUN," she responds with the same message and the two meet at Grand Central Station, as promised, to board a train and travel across the country together. As their impulsive decision to drop their everyday lives sets in, Billy and Ruby reflect on who they're leaving behind and attempt to rediscover the relationship they once had.
Waller-Bridge will co-executive produce and guest star as Laurel, a woman Billy and Ruby meet on their journey. The cast will also star Rich Sommer as Ruby's husband, Tamara Podemski as police detective Babe Cloud, and Archie Panjabi as Fiona, Billy's former personal assistant. See the full trailer here and watch the first episode of Run when it premieres on April 12.

8 Style Hacks I Swear By For Making Vintage Pieces Look Fresh and Modern
My interest in vintage fashion has ebbed and flowed over the years. In high school, one of my most prized possessions was a pair of vintage Chanel aviators that may or may not have been real (I preferred to think the former). In college, I was all about the dig at places like Buffalo Exchange and local thrift shops. Since moving to New York, I've done some serious damage at outdoor bazaars and my favorite local haunt, Housing Works (a nonprofit thrift store with locations throughout the city), happening upon designer gems like an ankle-grazing Gucci leather coat, a pearl-and-rhinestone-adorned Max Mara jacket, and many no-name treasures from leather pants to oversize blazers and costume jewelry.
Right now, I'm in a major flow period when it comes to vintage clothing and accessories, which means my shopping tactics have taken to the interwebs. I love re-commerce sites like The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective where I frequently search for designer accoutrements like belts, boots, and coats. When it comes to pre-loved luxury goods, places like Fashionphile and What Goes Around Comes Around are absolute treasure troves (both with reputations for a thorough authentication process). I even love the occasional eBay or Etsy binge (you can count on both these sites having incredible deals on way-back fashion).
With circular fashion and the part it plays with regard to sustainability being a top topic these days, I've become more eager than ever to showcase my vintage shopping prowess. Lately, I've been swarmed with questions from friends, co-workers, and Instagram connections on where I find my best pieces, how I select products, and my tricks for making every piece feel modern and not outdated. So, I'm spilling some of my secrets by way of eight vintage pieces I wore to New York Fashion Week this season. While I didn't wear vintage head-to-toe, I made a concerted effort to style every outfit around a vintage piece I loved.
Scroll on to see how I did. Plus, shop some of my exact pieces as well as similar styles to recreate any one of these outfits on your own.

Carli Lloyd Talks Fighting For a Spot on the Soccer Field: "Every Day Is Basically Like a Tryout"
For two-time World Cup and Olympic champion Carli Lloyd, the seasons aren't the only thing that will be changing come Summer. For her and the rest of the women on USA's soccer team, their coach, Vlatko Andonovski, has the difficult task of trimming them down to 18 players - including two goalkeepers - prior to Tokyo 2020. It's an inter-team competition, constantly trying to prove your worth, but Carli told POPSUGAR before the Power House On Her Turf event on Feb. 13, that it doesn't affect the connection these women have. And, fighting for a spot on the field is something Carli knows well.
Carli, 37, who went into 2020 with 121 goals out of 288 caps (aka, international appearances) and had the fastest hat trick in Women's World Cup history back in 2015, was a substitute during the tremendous run that was the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. (Note: she did still become the first female player to score a goal in six consecutive World Cup matches though.) Carli wrote an entire personal essay outlining her frustration over the lack of playing time.
"I think you do yourself a lot of damage when you seek perfection because that doesn't ever happen."
Fighting tooth and nail for an uber-competitive starting spot in the USWNT lineup is just the nature of the beast, and Carli knows that despite the fact that she told POPSUGAR she will always be unhappy with her sub position at the 2019 World Cup. Plus, it wasn't the only time Carli lost her starting role during her 15 years on the national team. Especially since the 2016 season, she said she doesn't think she was given a fair shot considering her talent and what she brings to the team (you can read more about that here). But, she remained and still remains a respectful teammate and continues to grind.
Now Carli, who helped captain two of the last World Cup teams, is working as hard as she can every single day and is focusing on grinding for that Tokyo roster, which she said will most likely be announced in early June. "It's an interesting team dynamic because we have these cycles of World Cups every four years and Olympics every four years, but you're not necessarily guaranteed to be on the team," Carli said. "Every day is basically like a tryout for us."
Not to mention, Carli added, there are multiple players assigned to your position. The team is still able to remain friends - they eat meals together, go shopping, and get their nails done, she noted - and they push each other to be better. "Ultimately, if you're doing your best and performing for the team, then you have a good shot," Carli explained, but at the end of the day, it's up to the coaching staff.
For Carli, too, she's type A and always striving for perfection. She claimed she most recently felt this pressure at the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship earlier this month where USA clinched a ticket to Tokyo and went on to dominate. "It's just this thing that I have wired within to always want to be doing well at something that I've worked on," she explained. Carli said she buckled down on her role as a striker during the off-season. But, she added, "I think you do yourself a lot of damage when you seek perfection because that doesn't ever happen."
"It's taught me more than any school could have ever taught me."
Regardless, Carli says that soccer is something she cherishes most in this world. "It taught me so many life lessons and things that I can take with me and hopefully inspire the next generations. It's taught me more than any school could have ever taught me."
Looking ahead to Tokyo, Carli is working on staying sharp and cleaning up her fieldwork beforehand. Only 13 of the players chosen for the Olympic qualifying roster were reportedly part of the 2016 Olympic qualifying team. In comparison, Carli has the most Olympic qualifying appearances of anyone on the roster. For those who experienced USA's off-the-podium finish at Rio, the worst departure these women has ever had, they're hungry for gold.
The coaching staff, Carli said, is zoning in on individual development - "they're making players better, they're bringing out the best in every player" - and that is, in her opinion, what's going to get them on top of that podium. A gold at Tokyo would be the USWNT's fifth Olympic title and Carli's third. With a new coach and Olympic rookies on the roster, there's a sense of fresh energy that invigorates the team, Carli said. "We have one common goal, and that's to win."

Take a Chilling First Look at Robert Pattinson in His Costume For The Batman
Robert Pattinson has dusted off his vampiric glitter and signed on to play Bruce Wayne in the upcoming superhero film The Batman, and on Thursday, we were gifted with a chilling first look by filmmaker Matt Reeves. This minute-long camera test already has me shaking with anticipation. I was practically holding my breath as the camera panned over the emblem on his costume.
Pattinson will star alongside Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and Paul Dano as The Riddler. There's no telling who else might join the cast before the expected 2021 release date, but this clip already has us excited to see more. See the full camera test here.
