In case you missed it, Galore cover girl Ruby Rose is the new face of Urban Decay.

And at last night’s launch event for their collaboration, she opened up about one particular annoying comment she’d receive while growing up as a gender non-conforming kid in Australia.

As Ruby recalled, sometimes people would tell her, “Why do you look like a boy? You could be really pretty.”

“Thanks,” she replied with a roll of her eyes, adding, “I’m gonna feel the most confident when I look like myself.”

Ruby and Urban Decay head Wende Zomnir sat on a stage while reporters and beauty bloggers — including Jeffree Star! — took in their conversation about makeup, beauty, and Ruby’s burgeoning acting career. The setting was Greenpoint Terminal in Brooklyn, and there were faux Ruby Rose-covered Village Voice newspapers everywhere, plus a lipstick vending machine.

Ruby also brought up “Break Free,” a video she made that shows her transforming from a typical girly-girl to a more androgynous look. It went viral in 2014 and now has over 18 million views.

She made the video, she said, because she couldn’t get any meetings for acting roles in the U.S. due to her unconventional style. She figured she might as well make her own “movie” since no one would put her in theirs.

Of course, Ruby is now a successful actress — she made her U.S. debut in the massively popular “Orange Is the New Black.” This victory was all the more delicious because she’d been told she couldn’t get a role in “Wentworth” because no one would believe she was in prison. Obviously, whoever told her that was dead wrong.

This being a makeup party, Ruby also detailed the “eyebrow fails” she went through earlier in life, like when she idolized Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. Christina’s eyebrows at that point were more like “just one single hair slicked down,” she said to laughs.

Ruby also said that although she has dozens upon dozens of tattoos, she wouldn’t recommend anyone else get tattoos. And her first one, she said, was a tramp stamp that she got with her mom’s permission. How’d she manage that? By coming home with a tongue ring. Her mom was so mad about the tongue ring, she told Ruby she’d let her get a tattoo if she’d just take the ring out.

So if you ever want a mom-endorsed tattoo, guess that’s the way to do it. Thanks, Ruby!

Kim Kardashian is a gift to the 24-hour media cycle but her recent claim that the Kardashians are the ones who popularized words like “basic,” “fuckboy” and “sus” is super LOL. 

In a recent post on her app, Kim walks us through a variety of slang words we’ve probably heard before but maybe don’t understand. 

“My sisters and I have our own dictionary of terms we say ALL the time — so much that I see you guys starting to use them too, LOL. Here are the definitions of some of my fave fun words!”

Whether or not the “LOL” is an indication of whether Kim is kidding about all this or not, here’s where the seven words she claims her and her sisters popularized really came from.  

1.Basic

Okay, so “basic” is kind of a hard slang term to track down, but for sure the word’s been around since 1985 when forgotten ‘80s girl group Klymaxx told the world in their seminal song “Meeting in the Ladies Room” that they’d “hate to come down to their level and become a BW / a basic woman.”

Clearly it’s time for “BW” to make a comeback.

2. Boss

Believe it or not, “boss” is something your parents might have said to each other in the 50s to indicate that something or somebody was cool or great. Still, the word didn’t really take off until a couple decades later when Bruce Springsteen earned himself the nickname “The Boss” for killing it on an everyday basis.  

3. Vibes

Vibes has been around since the 60s and 70s, back when The Beach Boys used to sing about good vibrations and an entire generation started doing a lot of drugs and paying attention to their feelings.   

4. Slay

Slay comes from the 1960s/1970s drag ball scene, and was brought to the world’s general attention by pop diva queens like Beyoncé.

5. Snatched

Okay, we give up, the Kardashians can have snatched.

What does it mean to be a housewife?

That depends on your generation. In the 1960s, being a housewife was pretty much standard. Once you got married, you quit your obligatory secretary job and started scrubbing up the house and cooking, like, Jell-O flavored pot roast all day. At least, that’s what Mad Men tells us.

But by the 1980s and 1990s, housewives were becoming endangered. As more and more women strapped on their clunky white sneaks and commuted to office jobs, staying at home became less common.

Today, you won’t encounter anyone who calls herself a housewife IRL. Well, except the “Real Housewives,” but the women of those shows are not homemakers, but cartoonish versions of the 60s housewife. They’re not ladies who lunch, but ladies who flip tables and fling prosthetic limbs across the room at lunch.

The closest thing to an actual housewife today is a stay-at-home mom. And if we had to resort to stereotypes, we’d proclaim her an athleisure-clad former sorority girl who also has her masters.

So, barring a reality TV contract, what makes a housewife in 2016? In our opinion, it has nothing to do with your employment or marital status, and everything to do with who you are when no one’s looking.

In this housewife-themed photo series, Amber Asaly shoots and Phil Gomez styles it girl and fashion designer London Zhiloh in the maribou heels and thrown-together sex kitten getups that can only happen when you’re chilling at home, being whoever you want to be.

“For a while it was so looked down on, so frowned upon to be a housewife,” Phil tells Galore. “But some of the strongest women I look up to have been housewives.”

My mom worked throughout my childhood, but when I think of her doing chores, I picture her blasting Prince, singing and dancing along un-self-consciously, maybe with a pair of silk undies on her head to hold her hair back because she didn’t have a hairband.

Phil’s mom had a similar routine, but with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beatles, and curlers.

“My mom was a housewife when I was growing up, and she was still a boss bitch,” he said. “I knew my mom was in her groove when I couldn’t go from one room to the other because the floors would be wet and I knew she was in the groove with the music. There was a sense of euphoria — nothing could bother her.”

Well, unless you walked across her fresh floors…

“If she saw footprints, she’s immediately like, RAWRRR, but if you just sit back and watch, she’d be dancing, doing her thing, smiling,” he said.

Nowadays, even if you don’t call yourself a housewife, you still have to do chores and maintain your space — and it’s during those lonely but exuberant moments that you can truly be yourself.

“When you’re at home and in your own space, you’re in your own world,” Phil says. “To me, that’s what’s captivating about a housewife. [Doing chores] is this time you have to yourself and you can create any persona you want. You can have fun. It’s empowering because you’re by yourself, and you’re not afraid to clean the house in gaudy jewelry and sequins.”

So besides Mrs. Gomez, who are Phil’s favorite housewives? Well, Lucy Ricardo, of course. As well as Peggy Bundy, who showed us all that not having a job doesn’t mean losing your identity in your family.

“I like her because in a way, she took care of herself before anyone else,” Phil says. “But she always looked on point with those hot pants.”

As our generation gets older and settles into mansions, apartments, shacks, houses, whatever — we will put our own imprint on the concept of the housewife. And we definitely won’t be boring about it.

“The modern housewife, in particular the Bushwick housewife, is gonna take it to that next level,” he said, banishing thoughts of yoga pants and hoodies. “She’s gonna wear her hoop earrings and her thigh-high boots… Once you get behind closed doors, all these layers start unveiling. She’s more fierce and unapologetic.”

Of course, no matter what, our inner housewife will mortify our hypothetical future kids — Phil remembers his mom dropping him off at school with rollers in her hair. “As a kid I’d be so embarrassed,” he said, “but looking back, I’m like, ‘My mom was kind of a G.'”

And isn’t acting like a rock star while you sweep the floors an ultimately empowering move?

Yes, Phil says. “You can still be strong and powerful and sexy and make a statement while holding a broom.”

As a chart-topping singer who’s constantly traveling the world, Alessia Cara, 19, meets a lot of people in her day to day, but the woman who’s had the most impact on her is her mom.

Alessia’s mom moved to Canada from Italy at age 18 and didn’t speak a word of English. Watch our video below to learn how much Alessia’s mom’s determination means to her — plus how she got her start in the music biz — and some of her style secrets.

Everyone has their drinking preferences, whether they’re trying to avoid a hangover or brown out ASAP.

But did you know that some drinks actually might fit your personality better according to your sun sign? Check it out!

ARIES: Rum & Coke

When Aries drink, they like to get down and dirty. They definitely don’t like to take it slow. Aries people become real rock-n-rollers. Rum and coke is the perfect mix of bad gal and spice with a hint of sweetness.

TAURUS: Bailey’s or Desperados

Taureans are comfort drinkers and very set in their ways. Once they decide on a drink they love, they stick with that one forever. They prefer quality drinks over quantity. Sensual Taureans love touching others when they get drunk, they are really into feeling soft materials, so they love the smooth comfort of a Bailey’s. Taurus’ element is earth, they can drink a whole lot of liquor.

GEMINI: Shots and a strawberry daiquiri

Geminis want to get drunk super fast, that is why they love strong shots. Geminis chatter and flirt a lot, even when they’re sober. Imagine what happens when they get drunk. Love it or hate it. Variety is very important to them and trying new flavors, especially fresh and fruity ones.

CANCER: White wine

Sensitive Cancers love to sip their wine and share their nostalgic stories from the past It’s unusual for them to experiment with funky or exotic drinks.They are not heavy drinkers, but if upset, they can be the ones that drink to excess, and end up throwing up.

LEO: Champagne

Leo kings and queens want the best of the best. They know they are worth it. Get ready for some serious drinking and partying.

To celebrate special occasions: Top shelf champagne only. BTW, Leos get very horny when they drink.

VIRGO: Espresso martini

Virgos like to keep it classy and love their drinks with style. They are the sign of the zodiac that needs most sleep. Hence the coffee in their martini. Otherwise they like anything organic that comes their way.

LIBRA: Cosmopolitan & rosé

Libras love anything in shades of pink, like a Cosmo or some fine rosé. Libras adore pretty, glittery cocktails. They are social drinkers and love to mingle and flirt.

SCORPIO: Whiskey & red wine

Scorpios are very extreme. Pour them a glass of deep red wine, they will love the color of blood, and the richness. Depending on their mood, they like to switch it up. If depressed they’ll go for whiskey straight and everyone will get to rediscover their dark side.

SAGITTARIUS: Caiprinha

Sagittarians love foreign cultures and therefore exotic drinks. Be it Sake or a caipirinha, anything tropical or foreign will do.

Watch out: the more these creatures drink, the more secrets they will spill.

CAPRICORN: Old-fashioned

It doesn’t matter how old a Capricorn is. They are the professional and independent drinkers of the zodiac, since they can take care of themselves, no matter how many drinks they’ve had. Even though goats are seriously charismatic, they use alcohol as social lubricant to loosen up.

AQUARIUS: Jägermeister

Aquarians are experimental. They love herbs and hard liquor. Airy Aquarians usually don’t like to admit that a night of drinking usually ends with tears. Liquor makes them super emotional. They pass out quickly, though, and the next day they forgot anything happened.

PISCES: Absinthe

Dreamy Pisces is the most addictive of all signs. They love all kinds of alcoholic liquids. The beverage they most enjoy, though, is Absinthe. This green magical poison of their choice is more than just booze to them. Still they should go easy on the liquor, since they love to escape into their fantasy world.

Since revivals are in right now, it’s pretty easy to guess which celebrities are about to make a comeback. So far, we’ve seen Usher make a surprise appearance at Coachella, but check out the rest of these celebs are at now, and get ready. They’re about to make a comeback.

1. Usher

Ever since The Weeknd’s been around, we haven’t heard much from R&B singer, but he recently made headlines when he performed at this year’s annual Coachella festival, jumping onstage with Major Lazor and XX to perform a tribute to late pop star Prince last week. Then, a naked selfie he took and Snapchatted in his home sauna went viral. And if you stalk his Instagram (like I did), you’ll find out pretty quickly that he has a new album dropping in June, and it’s called Flawed. Following Usher on Instagram looks pretty fun, so do it.

2. Justin Timberlake

You may have been reminded of Justin Timberlake recently, especially since the man himself referenced the “It’s Gonna Be May” memes in a tweet on Friday.  

Everybody… It is ACTUALLY GONNA BE MAY!#canyoumemeyourself

Probably not, right?

— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) April 29, 2016

Lucky for us, this isn’t the last we’ve heard from everyone’s favorite ex-boy band member. Apparently, Mr. Jessica Biel is set to release a new album — not to be confused with the release of Trolls, a movie that Justin is lending his vocals to for the film and soundtrack — and it’s been confirmed by frequent Justin collaborators and hit-makers Pharrell and Max Martin. And with ex-girlfriend and fellow 90s star Britney Spears set to release new music soon also, maybe there could be a collaboration on the horizon. That would be the comeback of comebacks. 

3. Marilyn Manson

The famous metal-industrial singer has been seen around town hanging with Lily Rose Depp and Stella McCartney, and can also be found on vintage tees being worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner and Justin Bieber. Manson also has a lowkey genius Instagram, which will help when he makes his comeback.

4. Tupac

With the 20th anniversary of Tupac’s death approaching, it makes sense that the late legend would return to the minds once more (though did he ever leave? and does this count as a comeback if he’s not alive?). The last car he ever purchased just went on the market, and an upcoming biopic will start filming in December, so whether Pac is about to come out of hiding, or get resurrected, we’re not sure yet. Stay tuned.

5. Mandy Moore

Also, I think this was an actual prop from the movie. Not sure how I ended up with it but cool. Nice suit, @theshanewest! #awalktoremember

A photo posted by Mandy Moore (@mandymooremm) on Apr 28, 2016 at 11:38am PDT

Mandy Moore took us for a real walk to remember when she shared an artifact from the set of her 2002 film A Walk To Remember. Here’s a photo of Mandy Moore and Shane West that was used as a prop. Here’s hoping to Mandy’s second time around.

6. Kesha

Kesha (f.k.a. Ke$ha) has officially captured the world’s attention, and now the “Tik Tok” singer has released her first song since her highly public legal battles with Dr. Luke, Kesha’s ex-producer and alleged rapist. Super-producer Zedd expressed his support for the embattled pop star as the entire debacle went public, tweeting, “very very sorry to hear about the whole situation. I’ll be happy to produce a song for you if you want my help.”

Kesha and Zedd debuted the song live at Coachella a few weeks ago, and as it was released on iTunes last Friday, Zedd and Dr. Luke exchanged an uncomfortable set of tweets:

Thanks for the clarification @Zedd …

— Dr. Luke Doctor Luke (@TheDoctorLuke) April 27, 2016

That’s all the clarification we’ll need to confirm this Kesha comeback. Hear their new song below:

Despite the appalled reactions I’ve received from literally everyone I know, I’ve decided to bleach my dark, thick eyebrows. I’ve been wanting to to do it for some time now, but the haters kept bringing me down. But when Kim Kardashian bleached hers for the Met Ball, I figured the look had reached just the level of cultural cachet necessary for me to give it a shot without my family thinking I’ve gone Girl, Interrupted. Thanks, Kim!

Other celebrities such as Cara Delevingne, Chloe Sevigny (pictured above), Miley Cyrus, Rooney Mara, and Lady Gaga have experimented with the bleached brow look in the past, and the results do range from Die-Antwoord level scary:

To runway-appropriate on Kendall Jenner.

Bleached eyebrows are definitely bold, but mostly I just liked the idea of a low-risk beauty move — if they get messed up, it’s really not a huge deal to dye them back — that would still effectively communicate my fierce fashion nature.

The process was easy. I visited my local CVS, purchased some Sally Hansen Creme Bleach for Face and a pint of ice cream, then headed back home to watch a Joaquin Phoenix movie and bleach my brows.

I wrangled a more beauty-savvy friend into mixing up the magic bleaching potion for me during our sleepover.

“This is going to be totally hot,” she cosigned, after I passed her the vape. “Everyone’s totally going to start copying you, in like 3 months.”

After the first 10 minute bleaching session, I wasn’t so sure. My eyebrows were lightened to a brassy orange color, which I thought was fun, but not in the way that you can like, actually go out in public with.

Bleach can irritate skin, so going completely eyebrow-blonde can often require a double process—just like your head! I waited another 24 hours, and painted a thick layer of bleach onto my eyebrows once more, leaving the mixture on for another 10 minutes. The box says only to leave the mix on for 8 minutes, but IDGAF. Clearly.

Now that I’ve done it for a second time, my eyebrows are a bright shade of pale yellow, so I’ve got to get some purple shampoo to tone down the brassiness of my brows. I might look a little wild, but I hope my eyebrows stay like this forever, and that’s what summer looks are all about, no?

Bambi (dog) isn’t a fan.

Tracee Atanda-Owo, who performs under the moniker OWO, couldn’t figure out what to label her music. So she made up a genre instead.

“My sound is Afro-electro R&B,” she told me. “I’m really influenced by a lot of different music, so I want my own work to reflect that.”

It’s fair to say that OWO has done a good job reflecting her variety of influence in her work. Her most recent video for a song called “jO,” was filmed as a virtual reality dance party, yet still manages to maintain a soulful vibe.

“How’d you come up with the idea to make this?” I asked.

“My manager, who’s also a friend of mine, also has a digital development company, and he was like, we should shoot your new video with these new cameras that record virtual reality, so I was like, okay!”

Tracee and her manager, along with 30 others — “A lot of my work comes from highly collaborative efforts” — shot the video in two weeks at a studio in Brooklyn, and claim it was the easiest video they’d ever shot.

“We weren’t even sure if the whole thing was going to work out,” she says, laughing. “And then it ended up being the easiest video we’d ever shot!’

“Did it feel appropriate for the song?”

“Definitely,” she said. “Writing the song was also quick for me. I loved the energy of the track that my producer gave me. We were like, let’s work with a style that people can work with when they’re sweating their ass off on the dance floor.”

I asked her what she was up to these days.

“I just left a recording session,” she said. “I’m just finishing up my EP, I’m grinding on that right now, and I’m really, really excited for what’s coming up.”

If the future includes OWO bumping at virtual reality dance parties, then so are we.

Whether it’s fighting at the Cheesecake Factory or group Twitter DM’ing his exes, Drake’s relationships seem hilarious complicated!

Now, you can actually experience what it feels like to text an emotional Drake with the help of a bot made by Onion Labs copywriter Hassan S. Ali. All you have to do is text “BOTLINE” to 630-755-6641, and you’re basically in a relationship with Drake… or Bot Drake (same thing)!

Whether you’re needing advice, longing to flirt, or craving a passion-filled fight with the 6 God, Botline Bling is here to answer all of your Drake prayers. “I just thought it would be funny if you could actually have a text relationship with a really clingy and emotional Drake,” said Hassan. “I programmed a range of emotions. It’s an emotional roller coaster you’re going to get with Drake, because that’s the only kind of relationship Drake knows.”

And boy oh boy did Drake Bot take me on an emotional rollercoaster. Here’s our conversation:

And there you have it.

You can read your horoscope… or you can read your whore-o-scope.

Considering it’s almost the weekend, we think you can read about your house of finances looking like shit on Monday with your regular Galoroscope. For now, find out what sex position you should be getting into based on your astrological sign.

Aries

As an Aries, you like to take charge as much as you like to have a man that can challenge you. Take a break from wearing the pants in the relationship and let your man pull your hair in doggy style. For an extra fiery twist that’s true to your sign, try having your man hold you up for a modification of the traditional girl-on-top, which is also one of your favorites.

Taurus

As a Taurus, you prefer being on bottom and relaxing, but definitely getting some good thrusts in here and there. Try having your man stand up and thrust into you while you lay over the bed. Feeling his eyes all over your body will certainly appeal to your affinity for feeling worshipped. For a change of pace and an ode to your bull sign, try getting freaky over the couch and letting your partner take you from behind.

Gemini

Gemini’s split personality means that they’re never boring in bed. Their arms are their erogenous zones, so coercing your partner to give you a brief shoulder rub while in bed will make you go crazy. A Gemini is likely to have experimented with both sexes, but if you haven’t, then it’s certainly not to late to try it out.

Cancer

Cancers don’t fuck, they make love. Although you put your partner’s needs first generally, you absolutely adore any type of stimulation in your breasts. When it comes to the main event, try something with rhythm and a steady pace, like a spooning position, that will make you feel close to your partner while you get your orgasm on.

Leo

If only one of the Zodiac signs could be a porn star, it would be Leo. Leo loves attention and drama, and this is no exception when it comes to their love making. Try getting on top of your man and enjoying his face as he takes in the view, or set up in front of a mirror so that you can enjoy the view too. For a different angle of penetration, try doggy style in front of that same mirror so you can check out that back arch.

Virgo

As a Virgo, you know that the way to your orgasm is through your clitoris, and you prefer any position that allows you or your partner direct access to it. Although you don’t desire sex anywhere outside the bedroom, have your partner push your limits with some light BDSM. If that’s not your bag, you’re sure to love this modified missionary position which will give you access to your clit and also allow for maximum penetration.

Libra

Libras love to be on top, partially because they’re bosses, but partially because they’re super vain. Try a modified reverse cowgirl in front of a mirror for a position that you’re sure to fall in love with. To appeal to your fairness in relationships, try a standing up position that allows you and your partner to both stand up equally.

Scorpio

Scorpios are known as the freakiest sign in the zodiac, and they’re proud of their reputation. Anything goes for the Scorpio, and they love getting their O on as much as they love to satisfy their partner. This makes 69ing perfect for Scorpio because they can give while they receive. When it comes to the main event, Scorpio takes their partner into a new world. Something simple like girl on top becomes an intimate, soul-merging experience for the Scorpio.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius definitely don’t mind being the center of attention, so trying sex in public should definitely be on your list. Sagittarius is also known as one of the most independent signs of the Zodiac, so reverse cowgirl appeals to Sagittarius because they can get their orgasm on without much help from their partner. For a challenge, try a face to face position like the criss-cross one pictured with a long term partner once you finally commit.

Capricorn

Capricorns believe that if it’s not broken, there’s no reason to fix it. For that reason, they love missionary position. Turns out they may be on to something, because it’s been found that missionary is the best position for both sexes to orgasm in. For a twist, try putting your feet on your man’s chest for deeper penetration. If you want to get out of your missionary-rut, try turning on some porn while you and your partner watch for “inspiration.”

Aquarius

As an Aquarius, you love to try new things, but you are also equally happy to please your partner. Try playing a game with your man where he has to lay down and not move a muscle while you tease him. If necessary and he’s game, tie him up. When he can’t take it anymore, lean over the bed and start giving him an awesome blow job. You know you give great BJs, because you enjoy them as much as he does.

Pisces

As a pisces, you want to feel connected with her partner, which is exactly how you’ll feel with this front-facing crab-legged position where you can look your man or woman right in the eyes. For something a little more steamy (pun intended), try getting in the bath with your partner and taking advantage of that retractable shower head.

Lauren Conrad’s Hills ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner just got engaged, and no it’s not to Jen Bunney, Audrina Patridge, Kristen Cavallari or any of the other women he hooked up with on reality TV.

It’s to fashion blogger and model Kaitlynn Carter, otherwise known as Brody’s lover and best friend. Aw.

On May 4th 2016 I got engaged to my lover and my best friend @kaitlynn_carter. I couldn’t be more in love with this woman and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her. ❤️

A photo posted by Brody Jenner (@brodyjenner) on May 6, 2016 at 1:48am PDT

And to answer your question, yes, if she takes Brody’s last name then there will be two C(K)aitlyn(n) Jenners in the family, which should make family get-togethers a little confusing, but hey, the Jenner family tree has seen more complex stuff than that.

Also, for what it’s worth, even though Brody Jenner kind of looked like a dick bf on The Hills, it turns out that maybe he wasn’t such a bad boy after all. Now he’s claimed that all of the relationships he had on The Hills were fake and that he didn’t actually hook up with any of those girls.

“A lot of that show was scripted,” Brody confessed in an interview with ET. “We didn’t have an actual script. I would say [it’s] improv. They gave us a situation, and Lauren’s a dear friend of mine, and it was pretty funny trying to live that reality of you know, you read the magazines and they’re like, ‘Brody and Lauren!’ and we were just friends. Literally, we would film a scene of us kissing and being in this lovey-dovey scene, and then right after it’d be like, ‘Cut!’ and we’d be like, ‘OK, good to see you,’ and go our separate ways.”

He also added, “I didn’t screw every single girl on the show. I didn’t have sex with Jen Bunny. I didn’t hook up with Audrina. I didn’t hook up with any of those girls, and then you get all these people saying, ‘Oh he’s a man whore, he sleeps with all these girls,’ when in actuality I didn’t do that.”

And even though Brody did date Kristin back when she still lived in Laguna Beach, their brief relationship on The Hills was 100% fake. In fact, according to Kristin, Brody had a girlfriend the whole time that plotline was going on.

Brody Jenner at the time was dating Jayde Nicole.

“I dated Brody when I was 18, right after Laguna Beach, actually, and that’s it,” Kristin told Perez Hilton. “And then on the show, on The Hills, they had us ‘dating’ for a few episodes. They pretended that him and Jayde broke up and I was dating Brody, and Jayde and I got into a huge fight because she saw us in a club. It wasn’t real at all. They were together the entire time.”

Guess reality TV is pretty fake after all.

Babies: nobody wants ’em, until they actually do.

That’s why Plan B and all other forms of birth control are so great — they let you choose exactly the right time to blow your life up with a child. And as we learned from two v reputable sources this week, one of the most unfortunate rumors surrounding Plan B is totally false: taking it “too often” actually doesn’t affect your ability to have kids in the future.

This is something that I’ve heard since the morning after pill came out. Word on the street was that if you took it more than three times, your ability to have kids decreased. Some friends of mine would even swear their doctors had told them that.

Well, as it turns out, whether this originated with doctors trying to dissuade girls from having unprotected sex or not, it’s a lie.

I learned this from the Guys We Fucked podcast, which last week hosted Dr. Linda Prine, a gynecologist and abortion rights activist. On the show, Linda tells hosts Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson that no, there’s no risk to taking the morning after pill frequently.

There are downsides, though: Plan B is $50 a pop and for some people, it causes pretty gnarly side effects. In a story from Broadly that also came out this week, Polina Bachlakova notes that even though Plan B won’t make you barren, it can cause some people — like her — months of bloating, irritability, and exhaustion.

“The morning-after pill definitely won’t affect your chances of getting pregnant later on in life,” Dr. Charlotte Wilken-Jensen, Head of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department at Hvidovre Hospital in Denmark, told Broadly. “However, the side effects from the hormone – nausea, dizziness, and feeling unwell – will change your quality of life anyway simply because you’re not feeling good. Depression is another big issue with it. It’s not nice in any way.”

She also added that while some say you should only take the pill once a cycle, even that’s not a hard and fast rule — you truly can take it as often as you want, if you don’t mind the side effects and the price tag.

Plan B has also been correlated with stroke, blood clots, and heart disease, so those are just a few more reasons why it probably shouldn’t be your primary form of birth control. But at least we can now sleep easy knowing that if you do need to take it slightly more often than you’d like, at least it won’t make you infertile.

This is the best news we’ve heard since finding out pulling out wasn’t actually the devil’s handiwork!

TV moms are just like regular moms — there are good ones and then there are the ones who criticize everything you do and sleep with your ex-boyfriend just because they can.

Here are a handful of our favorite moms, ranked from best to worst.

1. Lorelai Gilmore

Lorelai Gilmore is one of those great TV moms that can only exist on TV. See, Lorelai is only 16 years older than her daughter Rory and consequently they have no trouble be\ing best friends who share the same sweaters, music preferences and talent for digesting large quantities of food while maintaining perfect figures.

And honestly, they’re not just best friends , they’re the kind of best friends who can make jokes about how maybe if the other person had flowers growing out of her vagina she could finally be able to keep a man.

Goals?

2. Connie Briton

No matter what television show Connie Britton is on, she’s one of the best TV moms. I can’t remember any of the names of the moms she played on Friday Night Lights, Nashville or American Horror Story, but I still loved them all because she’s Connie Britton and nobody with hair that shiny could ever be bad.

3. Ashley Marin

Pretty Little Liars isn’t exactly known for its responsible adult figures, but Ashley Marin is a great mom. She will do literally anything to keep her daughter safe and out of jail, including sleeping with a cop and destroying incriminating videotapes.

In addition to navigating all that drama she somehow manages to work a full-time job, have a somewhat active dating life, and keep her hair looking flawless.

Women, we really can have it all.

4. Kris Jenner

Sure, Kris can be pushy and/or thirsty at times but let’s be real, if it wasn’t for her hustle the Kardashian family name would be worth a fraction of what it is today. And if she were a man, she wouldn’t be called pushy or thirsty — she’d just be called successful.

And even though she’s the kind of embarrassing mom who comes to pole dancing class with you because she thought it’d be fun, her daughters love her in spite of it all. Aww.

5. Reba

I’ve never seen an episode of Reba before in my life, but Reba seems pretty chill as a person so I have a feeling she’s at least an alright TV mom.  

Like it says in the show’s theme song, she’s “a single mom who works too hard / who loves her kids and never stops / a gentle soul with the heart of a fighter,” so really, how bad could she be, right?

6. Cookie Lyon

Cookie is… well, Cookie’s a lot to handle. On the one hand, she can be fiercely loving and protective of her children, willing to go to great lengths to help the achieve their dreams, but on the other hand, if her kids piss her off, she’ll stop at nothing to teach them a lesson about respect.

But don’t hold it against her. She’s a soap opera mom. The cards are stacked against her.

7. Lily Van der Woodsen

Like most fictional Upper East Side parents, Lily Van der Woodsen has a self-absorption problem. It’s not that she wants to be a bad mom but sometimes she goes into auto-pilot mode and can’t help herself.

Of course, it also doesn’t help that for the duration of the show she has an on-again, off-again relationship with the father of her daughter’s on-again, off-again boyfriend.

Again, being a soap opera mom is hard.

8. Cersei Lannister

Bitch killed her husband so that her son she had with her brother could be king. If that’s not love then I don’t know what is. Sure, she’s kind of scary crazy, but then again, aren’t all mothers crazy when it comes to their their kids anyway?

9. Nancy Botwin

Nancy’s a single Mom who makes a lot of mistakes. After her husband dies she starts selling weed in her suburban neighborhood, slowly becoming the biggest game in all of Agrestic, but then shit hits the fan when she starts sleeping with a DEA agent she didn’t know was a DEA agent and if you’re really curious you can just go on Netflix and watch the whole thing.

Needless to say, she has a lot of things on her plate so she’s not always the most active mother she could be.

Sadly, both of her kids grow up to more or less hate her with one of them commiting a murder before he’s old enough to drive a car.

10. Julie Cooper

If you remember anything about The O.C. then you remember that Julie Cooper was a total MILFK — Mother I’d like to fucking kill. 

She was entertaining af and would probably be fun to have a drink and talk shit with, but we wouldn’t want her as our own mom. Mostly because she had a hot and heavy affair with her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. Oops.

11. Gillian Darmody

Boardwalk Empire‘s Gillian Darmody is a hooker who runs a brothel, but that’s NBD. The real problem is that this one time she drunkenly seduced her son and then he was so traumatized by it that he joined the army. He came back a shattered shell of himself and ended up falling into a life of crime and drugs that ends with him getting hooked on heroin and then being shot by the man who raised him. 

We thought nothing was worse than your mom sleeping with your boyfriend, but we were wrong.

The Stars Wars franchise just named a new Han Solo.

His name is Alden Ehrenreich and he beat out some of the hottest guys in Hollywood for the honor of taking on Harrison Ford’s iconic role — but honestly, we’re not quite sure if he’s hot enough to deserve it.  

The Han Solo we know and love is rough around the edges, sexy as hell and a total badass — the kind of guy who winds up with a princess because his game is just that good. 

How does Alden Ehrenreich compare with that? 

Here’s what we know:

Alden Ehrenreich is 26 years old, he graduated from NYU, and he had the good fortune to be discovered at a friend’s bat mitzvah because Steven Spielberg was in the audience and dug a short film that Ehrenreich had made for/with the birthday girl. 

Sometimes he looks kinda weird in the films he’s in, like 2016’s Hail Caesar

And sometimes he looks like the kind of guy you thought was hot when you were 16 and didn’t know what good dick felt like yet.

Coincidentally, Alden’s role in Beautiful Creatures has also been his most critically acclaimed to date, earning him a nomination for Nickelodeon’s illustrious Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Liplock.

Sadly, even by Nickelodeon’s standards, Alden’s smooching ability wasn’t deemed hot enough. Ouch.

Honestly, we have to go with our gut and agree with Nickelodeon on this one. Alden is technically attractive, but his vibe is off. He’s not scruffy or bad-boyish enough to fill a young Harrison Ford’s leather space boots.

Harrison Ford will always be the hotter Han Solo. Even when Alder Ehrenreich is at his best, he looks like a typical hot actor, whereas Harrison Ford looked like a hot construction worker, probs because that’s what he did before he started being an actor. Also, according to my old Russian lit teacher, he was also a badass poker player. See? Hot.

We’re not writing off Alden yet. Thanks to the wonder of hair/makeup/workout regime, he can maybe get close enough. 

Also to be fair, Harrison also had the advantage of being a man when the OG Star Wars series came out. He was already 35 whereas Alden is just going to be 28. Maybe seven years from now, Alden will have a little more of that space cowboy vibe about him. But for now, he’s a little too tame-looking. Clearly, this is what you get when Disney is in charge of your franchise reboot.

Sigh, what’s a girl gotta do for a real leading man these days?

The more guys that fuck you over, the more you want to say “all guys are the same” and that you’re “giving up on love.” But let’s be real, there are definitely some winners in there. The problem is that you never are going to find a winner when you’re stuck on fuckboy island. Here’s how to find out if you’re on that island, and how to get off without having to send out an SOS signal.

1. You Only Go For One “Type”

Have you ever stopped and realized that the last six dudes you hooked up with were artists with tattoos who lived in Brooklyn and smoked cigarettes? Weird coincidence? Probably not. We all have certain features that we look for in a guy at a basic level, they’re the same things that determine if you’re going to swipe right or left on Tinder. Maybe if you push yourself out of your comfort zone to date a dude who you wouldn’t normally go for, you’ll realize where the good guys were hiding out all along.

2. You Place Importance On Morning Texts

It’s easy to view certain things as “signs” that a dude is super into you and is a great guy. For example, if a guy buys you flowers or sends a “good morning” text. The thing is, both of these things are pretty superficial and non-time-consuming. A player with money could easily send flowers to all the girls he is dating with one click of a button, and the same goes for that “good morning” text.

Not saying that all fuckboys are determined enough (or smart enough) to send flowers or other “romantic” gestures, but you catch my drift. Try to pay more attention to what comes out of a guy’s mouth instead of empty gestures. If he really listens to what you say rather than sending “good morning” texts, and if he’s there for you when you really need him. Sometimes the guy who has no game is the guy who is actually worth your time.

3. You Only Meet Guys When You’re Drunk

It’s way easier to talk to dudes when you have liquid courage and a drink in your hand. Unfortunately, every dude at the club has a short term goal: to get laid. That’s not to say that every guy who goes out drinking is a fuckboy and will never commit, but if you keep finding douchebags who sleep over and never text you again, you might want to meet guys elsewhere. Dating apps may not necessarily be a better option, but at least you’ll be soberly judging guys before you end up making out with them in an Uber at 3 a.m.

4. You’re Actively Searching For A Boyfriend

An even better idea is to not look to meet guys at all. That can be difficult when you know you’re ready to settle down with a boyfriend, but when you’re actively searching for a boyfriend you warp your own views. Sometimes, you want a man so badly that you overlook a guy’s flaws and start giving chances to guys that you normally wouldn’t hook up with. You may start wishing for every one night stand to be your next boyfriend, when in reality you could do so much better. Instead, focus on yourself and let the right guy come to you when he’s ready.

5. You’re Trying To Replace Your Ex

Breakups fucking suck. If you’re missing your ex bae, it can be natural to try to replace him. If your friends start commenting that your new boy toy looks a lot like your ex, it may just mean that you have a thing for tall guys with long dark hair and baby blue eyes, but it could also mean that you’re subconsciously looking for a replacement.

Sure, you and your ex had great times, but he’s your ex for a reason, and that reason is that he’s not right for you. If you’re still mourning the loss of your ex (even without realizing it), take a break from guys altogether. Focus on your sexy ass self until you feel that you’re ready to get back in the dating game. One night stands can be fun, but it’s no way to heal a broken heart.

6. You Think You’re The Exception

While you may know that you’re a boss bitch with an ass as fine as your personality, you can’t expect a lowly fuckboy to see that. It can be a natural instinct to want to “change” the player and be the one girl that makes him settle down, but why would you want to be with a guy like that anyways? Stop getting caught in the game and realize that you’re way too awesome to be fighting for a man’s attention. In fact, a guy should be fighting for yours.

Cute French DJ Tom Tyger will make you wish that you knew how to speak French.

After discovering his passion for music at a young age, Tom has gone on to receive support from Avicii, Martin Garrix, and Nicky Romero. He’s also played at some of the biggest clubs around the world, including Ministry of Sound in London and Baoli in Miami.

We talked to Tom about his favorite music festival, his drunk food of choice, and how to make the first move on him.

At what point in your life did you decide you wanted to DJ?

One and a half years ago when I had to make the choice between sports and music.

What’s the most awesome thing that has happened to your in your DJ career thus far?

I think it’s the fact that I get to see all my favorite artists playing my music.

What’s your favorite music festival?

Ultra Miami!

What’s the strangest DM you’ve ever gotten?

“Hey bro…” No, I’m kidding, it’s the most popular DM I receive though.

What song should Galore add to our sex playlist?

Beating Heart by Birdy. The entire album is pure sex.

How can a girl get your attention from the DJ booth?

A girl can’t get my attention from the DJ booth, because when I’m playing I’m in another dimension.

She has to do something original or she has to bring her most beautiful smile.

What’s your favorite drunk food?

Some French cheese with bread.

What’s your favorite emoji?

What’s the craziest thing you’ve been asked to do in bed?

Too crazy to tell.

Who are your musical inspirations?

I love so many different styles and my goal is always to take some stuff to create something cool and fresh.

Who would you cast to play the love interest in one of your music videos?

Definitely Charlize Theron, but I think I’m dreaming.

Nick Jonas made a new enemy today, who later turned into a friend. And it all started with an X-rated joke about the diabetic heartthrob’s insulin pump.

Just after midnight, a fan tweeted this:

–@nickjonas i want to fuck the shit out of your insulin pump

— action bastard (@ramenfuneral) May 6, 2016

That’s a pretty standard midnight booty tweet if you ask us. But then something truly shocking happened: Nick took a break from hopefully dating Kate Hudson to respond!

@ramenfuneral my insulin pump is loyal as fuck. So good luck.. And by the way. Not funny. I suggest a new comedy path that doesn’t involve

— Nick Jonas (@nickjonas) May 6, 2016

He added a sick burn, too.

@ramenfuneral making jokes about “fucking” people’s devices that help give them the insulin they need to survive. #ignorance

— Nick Jonas (@nickjonas) May 6, 2016

Ouch. But then, the true plot twist occurred: apparently @ramenfuneral is diabetic, too!

@lovephoebecates @nickjonas I think nick doesn’t realize there is humor in Pain, as I am also diabetic smh

— action bastard (@ramenfuneral) May 6, 2016

Nick responded to say they should be friends.

@ramenfuneral are you?! Well then fuck yah! Let’s be Pal’s! Hopefully you and your pump have a sexy bad ass relationship

— Nick Jonas (@nickjonas) May 6, 2016

What a happy ending. We have our doubts, though. Apparently, this Twitter user is a habitual celeb-tweeter who will say whatever it takes to get a response.

how the fuck has nick jonas replied to me in less than five minutes and ricky martin hasnt in over a year

— action bastard (@ramenfuneral) May 6, 2016

So the trick to getting Nick Jonas to respond to you is medical trolling, I guess. Who knows if @ramenfuneral is actually diabetic or not? Either way, his mentions are now full of Nick Jonas fans feeling really sad about his original joke.

@nickjonas i still think his joke was unhumorous the fact that he’s a diabetic as well doesn’t change that… Insulin pumps are important

— DNCE (@DNCE_ARMY) May 6, 2016

@nickjonas hey nick ignore those kind of people because they don’t know what to do with their life’s

— MAGALI (@MAGALIRO) May 6, 2016

— Dani (@JOJONASAFSHARI) May 6, 2016

K. @ramenfuneral still has one more question though: what has Nick done with all his Pepsi commercial royalty checks?

goddamn @nickjonas sure has changed over the years pic.twitter.com/as99baN2As

The world will never know.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, or at least don’t judge Nadia Lee Cohen by her blonde bombshell, 50s Hollywood glam-star of a look.

Nadia, who is currently working on her first photobook, 100 Naked Women — a series of nude portraits of women intended to subvert the idea of objectifying them — captures and empowers the female form through surreal, colorful, iconic photographs. With film makers such as John Waters, Stanley Kubrick, Russ Meyer, Harmony Korine, and David Lynch as inspirations, Nadia, just like them, is blurring boundaries between what’s real and what isn’t.

After making a name for herself and then receiving a heavy cosign from the fashion industry, Nadia has continued to create without censoring her own ideas and even more, the women whom she photographs. From how she mentally prepares for a shoot to her views on collaboration, Nadia gave Galore a look into her creative process. See what she had to say, below.

Galore: How do you mentally prepare for a shoot?

Nadia Lee Cohen: I’m very visual. I forget everything unless it’s written down in a little book with a shitty drawing next to it, so I make illustrated lists.

Who are artists or photographers who’ve inspired you?

NLC: I’m predominantly inspired by film makers like John Waters, Stanley Kubrick, Russ Meyer, Harmony Korine, David Lynch, and so many others. There are too many to mention. I watched a lot of movies from these directors when I was first taking pictures. Although I watch a lot of new stuff, I will probably never get over my initial inspirations.

Day worker or night worker? Why?

NLC: Both! I’m literally 24/7 sorting shit out. I really like mornings though if I had to choose.

How do you get inspired to create work?

NLC: When the thought creeps in that I need to make everything I want to make before I die.

Are you always proud of the work you make?

NLC: Yes, mostly. You probably wouldn’t know about it if I wasn’t.

Views on collaboration?

NLC: It’s a powerful thing when you work with someone that understands and fuels your vision.

If you’re stuck creatively, what do you do to get unstuck?

NLC: I’m not sure I ever consciously think I need to be inspired, or actively seek out inspiration. I just continue to learn and watch things that interest me, and make written lists of ideas that need to one day manifest into images.

If you weren’t doing this, and had to get a “day job” where would you see yourself?

NLC: This is so tough. Maybe a florist? A fast food worker? A forensic photographer? A stripper? A prostitute? The possibilities are endless.

Who do you think was your favorite person to shoot ever?

NLC: This is also tough! All of the naked girls for my book, each one has been amazing.

What’s your go-to photoshoot song?

NLC: The Velvet Underground and Nico album, until it gets to “Heroin.” Then I need to change it because it stresses me out.

Any up and coming photogs you’re into at the moment?

NLC: I like Derek Perlman’s work, and Pretty Puke.

What advice would you give the younger you about achieving your dreams?

NLC: Embrace weirdness and watch more fucked up movies.

How do you, personally, feel your work empowers women?

NLC: I could talk for a long time about this, but in short; my photographs allow the modern females involved no restriction whatsoever in how much of their bodies they choose to reveal to others.

What new project are you working on?

NLC: I’m working on my series titled “100 Naked Women.” I started it about a year and a half ago and I’m ploughing through it this year so I can release the book and exhibit the final 100 in 2017.

See Nadia’s online portfolio HERE.

In a shocking twist to the ongoing saga that is BlacRob, Blac Chyna is reportedly pregnant. Bet you didn’t see that coming!

Details are scant at the moment, but TMZ reported it and despite their reputation they’re usually right about this stuff, so it’s probably true.

Now let’s get down to business: what will this little bundle of branded joy be called?

Blac Chyna already has one kid with Tyga, you’ll remember. His first name is King, his middle name is Cairo, and his last name is whatever Tyga’s last name is.

Unfortunately, that means that Chyna and Rob’s baby likely won’t be named King Kardashian. You can’t win ’em all. But we bet the name will have some sort of regal theme. Reign is also already taken thanks to Kourtney. Maybe the kid’s name will be Krown Kardashian? Throne Kardashian? Monarch Kardashian? Emperor Kardashian? Rob Kardashian III?

Then there’s always the chance it will be a girl, in which case we can expect a name that is aggressively non-K-centric. In fact, we wouldn’t put it past Chyna to pull a Caitlyn Jenner and give her spawn a C name just to be obstinate. Caren Kardashian? Cayla Kardashian? Cristen Kardashian?

Anyway, can’t wait to see Kris Jenner and Tokyo Toni standing side by side at the baby shower. Congrats,
