Amber Heard’s ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree is speaking out after information surfaced earlier this week that the actress was arrested in 2009 for domestic violence against her.

In a statement released to Page Six, Tasya van Ree said that the 2009 domestic violence incident was actually a misunderstanding by two other individuals in a “power position” who she felt demonstrated “misogynistic” and “homophobic” leanings. Here’s her official statement:

“In 2009, Amber was wrongfully accused for an incident that was misinterpreted and over-sensationalized by two individuals in a power position. I recount hints of misogynistic attitudes toward us which later appeared to be homophobic when they found out we were domestic partners and not just ‘friends.’ Charges were quickly dropped and she was released moments later. It’s disheartening that Amber’s integrity and story are being questioned yet again. Amber is a brilliant, honest and beautiful woman and I have the utmost respect for her. We shared 5 wonderful years together and remain close to this day.”

Following the public altercation with van Ree, Heard appeared in front of a King County judge on Sept. 15, 2009. However, the prosecutor declined to file charges.

On May 27, after claiming that estranged husband, Johnny Depp, had been both “verbally and physically abusive” to her throughout the “entirety” of their relationship, Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against him.

Depp’s attorney Laura Wasser responded to Heard’s initial court claims by saying the actress “is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.”

This is all very messy.

Today is Kanye West’s 39th birthday and I decided that the only appropriate way to celebrate would be to spend my afternoon doing Kanye’s favorite thing in the world: eating ice cream.

If you’ve never seen a picture of Kanye West eating ice cream, then you’re depriving yourself of a natural treasure. For a man who keeps a grim face on at most times, ice cream always brings out the little boy in Kanye.

To be fair, Kanye West also really loves touching Kim Kardashian’s butt, but seeing as there hasn’t been a public sighting of Kim in two days and I don’t have the time to track her down with my private investigator skills, eating ice cream will have to do.

Luckily for me, it’s Kanye West Ice Cream week in New York City, so after I’d finished my work for the day, I headed over to Morgenstern’s in NoHo, and spent 15 minutes waiting in line to get my hands some Kanye-inspired treats.

Oh, and my boyfriend was there too, because the only thing in the world he loves more than me is Kanye.

Happy V Day to my Valentines ❤️❤️❤️ @squeenz

This year marks the second time Morgenstern’s has adopted a special Kanye-themed menu, and the self-proclaimed “beautiful but darkly lit ice cream parlor” is serving favors like, Paparazzi Pineapple, Postive Vibes Pistachio, Father Stracciatella My Hands Pt. 1, the “You Left Your Fridge Open” Ice Cream Sandwich (peanut butter ice cream wedged between two “Wolves” cookies made out of chocolate, nuts, oats and coconut), and the Beautiful Morning Milkshake (coffee ice cream with corn flakes).

Just like last year, it was incredibly hard to choose which flavor to get, but after much deliberation I decided to get the”You Left Your Fridge Open” Ice Cream Sandwich

please ignore my nails

And my boyfriend got the Father Stracciatella My Hands Pt. 1.  

To be honest, by itself the Stracciatella was a little plain and the ice cream sandwich was a little rich, but together, it was the perfect marriage of flavor, just like Kim and Kanye.  

Even if you can’t make it over to Morgernstern’s tonight to celebrate Kanye’s birthday by eating ice cream, Kanye Ice Cream week is going on until the 12th, which gives you 4 more days to get your act together.

Happy birthday, Ye.

Happy Birthday Kanye, thank you for all of the inspiration you’ve given the world! pic.twitter.com/SoqTdkxWsZ

The Disciples are the three-piece production group from London currently most known for their work with Calvin Harris on “How Deep Is Your Love.’ And since my love for this song truly is deep, I decided to hit the trio up for an interview.

Gavin, Luke, and Duvall write, produce and sing on all their own tracks, and have an especially cool approach to making music that’s fun to dance to.

“When people listened to our first EP, they didn’t know what to call it. They’d say, ‘you’re not electro, you’re not dance and it sounds kinda old, but it sounds kinda new,’ and it means that we can do what the hell we want,” Duvall says. 

 The trio is certainly following up on that. They’ve recently “No Worries,” a collaboration with David Guetta, singlehandly — or, triplehandedly? — giving Guetta some much-needed street cred again.

Check out the video for their latest song below, and read up on their interview. Imagine they’re saying everything in a British accent; it makes the interview even better.

A production trio is kind of rare to come across, right? How does being a three person team making electronic music work for you guys?

Two heads are better than one, so how about three? We feed off of each others energy, one of us will find the missing piece to each puzzle. The more creative energy in the room, the better the music I think. Swedish House Mafia didn’t do too badly.

Now that it’s officially bikini season, odds are pretty good that the thought of buying a new swimsuit has crossed your mind. Maybe you’re looking for a sporty one piece; maybe you’re tan-line cautious and looking for a non-basic bandeau; maybe you’re a fan of Kendall and Kylie’s latest swim collection with Topshop.

No matter what you’re looking for this summer, it’s out there somewhere — and we caught up with Ella Weiscamp to help you kickstart a few stylish ideas. Get all the swimspo you need from the editorial shot by Aris Jerome below.

Well, it looks like our dreams that we never dared to dream have been answered because Lindsay Lohan and Kourtney Kardashian are hanging out now and are secretly “long lost twins.”

On Wednesday night, the two celebrities were photographed leaving Restaurant Ours, the “hottest place in London,” together and getting into the same car to continue the party in a remote place which not even the most cunning members of the paparazzi could find.

As you can see from the pictures, Lindsay had her Russian millionaire bae tag along, which he looked pretty miserable about.

“Stop pouting” we imagine Lindsay saying to Egor, “I just spent an entire vacation with you, I need to hang out with my fucking friends tonight, okay? Now stop moping, and put on your party face and I’ll make it up to you later tonight by doing that thing you like with my tongue.”

Later, in what we can only assume is a bathroom selfie, Lindsay called Kourtney her “twin,” which is probably a reference to the fact that Kourtney Kardashian was wearing what appears to be the exact same dress earlier on her Snapchat.

#theparenttrap my #twin @kourtneykardash has arrived!! ❤️

And according to Instagram, we know that Kourtney also wore it during the day for a bit of sightseeing.

❤️

A video posted by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Jun 9, 2016 at 2:04am PDT

Sadly, whether Lindsay just so happened to pack the same dress herself or saw Kourtney’s Snapchat and thought to herself, “Holy shit, that would make a great party dress – let me call this bitch up and see if she wants to come have dinner with me and Egor,” we may never know, but what’s really important here is that Lindsay and Kourtney hung out and appeared to have a good time doing it.

Let’s all cross our fingers that what happens in London doesn’t stay in London.

[H/T The Daily Mail]

“Wine me, dine me, 69 me” is a great slogan to write in your Tinder bio, especially today, since June 9 is allegedly 69 Day.

But in reality, 69ing is slightly overrated. If you wanna do one 69 sesh in honor of 69 Day, go for it. But for the other 365 days of the year, try these oral sex positions instead.

1. Doggy Style

Doggy style is not just for penetration, it can also be an interesting way to change up oral. Get on all fours like you normally would, except instead of having your man thrust into you with his dick, have him get on all fours as well and start licking your lady parts. It’ll be fun because you won’t be able to see him and predict his moves, kind of like having a blindfold on without actually having a blindfold on.

2. Elevated

Getting head while seated above your partner is a surefire way to amp up your man’s mediocre eating out skills. Seriously, having your man below you whilst eating your pussy allows him better access to all your bits and magically makes everything feel better. Try lying down on your bed while your man kneels on the floor, or try sitting on your kitchen table, or washing machine; or wherever. If you need an added bonus, try sitting on your washing machine while it’s on.

3. SOMF

If you’ve used Tinder or ever posted a scandalous selfie on Instagram, you’ve probably had a guy ask for your to sit on his face. But, have you ever actually done just that? It can feel super personal and uncomfortable literally sitting naked on a guy’s face, but lots of guys actually love it. They’re got your most personal parts right in their face, plus they can easily reach around and grab your ass or reach up and grab your tits. Seems like a prime position for everyone involved.

4. Against The Wall

If you tried doggy style and liked it, change it up by standing up against the wall with your ass out. Depending on your partner’s height, he might want to sit in a chair behind you. Either way, standing up while receiving oral can feel super naughty and can quickly transition into you getting railed against the wall, which is even naughtier.

5. Macho Man

If you’re lucky enough to be banging a bro with biceps, have him lift you up against the wall so that your legs are draped over his shoulders while your pussy is in his face. As long as he can hold you up while moving his tongue, this should be a blast. Just make sure that you don’t start shaking too hard while you cum. You don’t want to fall over.

6. The Lazy Lady’s 69

Wouldn’t 69 be better if you could lay down on your side instead of awkwardly hunching over with a hard dick in your face? Turns out, side by side laying down 69 works just as great (if not better) than the OG 69. This is great for some morning nookie because you don’t even have to get up to start having foreplay, seems like a win-win to us.

Election cycles are fun, in a “Mean Girls” kind of way. You never know who’s gonna shade who.

And ever since the Associated Press announced Hillary Clinton announced the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party, lots of young Bernie Sanders stans have been saying it was unfair to call the election this early (no matter how stoked our fave female celebs are).

But our question is: why aren’t more young women supporting Hillary? Considering she is the first woman in history to secure a spot on the national ballot, which makes this a historically important election, why aren’t we falling all over ourselves to get her in office?

Gloria Steinem had one cringe-worthy guess. Back in February, she told Bill Maher on his show that the reason why so many young women are choosing to vote for Bernie is because the boys are doing it.

“Women are more for [Clinton] than men are,” Steinem told Maher. “Men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age, women get more radical because they lose power as they age. They’re going to get more activist as they grow older. And when you’re younger, you think: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie.'” Yikes.

A lot of girls who had previously thought of Gloria as a feminist icon, were stunned at these comments, especially the younger Bernie supporters who also consider themselves feminists. As you might expect, women who don’t support Hillary actually have much more intelligent and well-thought-out reasons for doing so — and we should know, because we asked them.

Megan Skeuse, 27 and a Bernie supporter, says she hasn’t supported Hillary because of her inconsistent track record.

“I chose Bernie because I truly believe, based on his voting record and the positions he has held on issues with unwavering authenticity, that he is the best candidate to represent women,” she told Galore. “Where Clinton has ‘evolved,’ Bernie has been fighting steadfastly for many years for our rights to equal pay, marriage, choice, childcare, and paid maternity leave.”

Another Bernie Supporter, Maisy Rohrer, 20, says it’s because Bernie would be less likely to get involved in war and Hillary comes off as a war monger.

“Bernie is more hesitant on war and sending more troops out,” she said. “I would love a woman president but she is not the right one.”

Many of the girls we talked to acknowledged that they would want a woman president, but not at the cost of their principles. That’s why if it’s Hillary, they are #NotWithHer.

“As a woman, I would love to vote for a woman president, but I am not going to vote for someone based solely on their gender,” Tessa said. “My vote is based on who I believe can take our country in a different, more positive and successful direction. For me that is Bernie Sanders. Some people think not voting Hillary means voting Trump, but for me not voting Hillary means expressing my right as an American and standing my ground.”

But the fight isn’t over yet. Despite the AP’s pronouncement that Hillary is the Democratic candidate, it’s still not set in stone until the Democratic Convention. The Convention, which is where the entire Democratic party gets together to officially pick a nominee takes place July 25- 28 in Philadelphia. After that, we will have our final nominee.

Your dream-grandfather Bernie Sanders still could pull off the nomination at the convention, but he’d have to convince a sh*t load of super delegates at the convention to pick him instead of Hill. So if it’s still not Bernie, will these girls vote for Hillary to avoid Trump, or write in their candidate? For some, a third-party candidate is the answer.

“If the people want me to vote under the two guidelines of one, not Trump and two, a woman, I will be casting my vote for Jill Stein, Green Party Leader,” Tessa said. “I think that redirecting the Bernie supporters to align themselves with someone who has beliefs and policies that mimic Bernie’s will actually give us a shot at keeping the POTUS title from Hillary or Donald.”

Others will throw tepid support behind Hillary in the interest of keeping Trump out.

“I may be bummed,” Megan said, “but I don’t believe in #BernieorBust. Polarization in the Democratic party is what Trump is counting on, and it is time to be both united and formidable. I will now vote for Hillary not because she is a woman, but because she is a fighter, and the absolute best candidate to protect the rights of everyone.”

Scott Disick continues to be the gold medal champion of the Fuckboy Olympics.

When the rumor started spreading yesterday that Scott Disick got Khloé Kardashian pregnant, we were ready to dismiss it as just another rumor, but then Scott posted about it on Instagram and we knew that it was really an example of something else.

Another piece of really confusing Scott Disick news.

According to some tabloid we don’t have the energy to hunt down, Khloé Kardashian is about to announce that she’s pregnant, and the baby daddy is either Odell Beckham Jr., French Montana, James Harden, Lamar Odom, or Scott.

For the record, not that he’s confirming it or not, Scott’s got his fingers crossed that the baby daddy is him.

Got my fingers crossed!

Obviously it’s all a joke and nowhere near the confusing levels of his relationship with that 20-year-old model who looks just like his 20-year-old sort-of-sister-in-law, but it’s still a strange joke to be making about your ex’s sister.

Then again, who cares because it’s also really funny.

Okay Scott, we’ll give you this one, but still, stop being so confusing, kay?

Yesterday, Rihanna pulled off something that only Rihanna get away with.

Rihanna wore a Disney princess dress out in public, and she actually made it look cool.

Less than 24 hours ago, Rihanna went to Disney World to celebrate her baby niece’s 2nd birthday, and decided that nothing she owned would be appropriate for the occasion.

So she bought a semi-flouncy-semi-shapeless Cinderella shift dress with plenty of bows and put it on over her jeans.

While some girls take Plan B after every drunk sexual encounter (which doesn’t make you infertile btw), others are lax about using condoms — especially during that time of month.

It seems to be common knowledge that if you’re on your period, it’s impossible to get pregnant and you can go wild for a week as long as you keep some towels handy for the blood.

But contrary to what you may have thought you heard in seventh grade health class, it is possible to get pregnant while on your period.

While the probability of you getting pregnant after having sex on your period is unlikely, it’s certainly possible. It all depends on your cycle.

If you have a “normal” cycle that lasts from 28-30 days or longer, it is very unlikely that you can get pregnant after sex on your period. But, if you have a slightly shorter cycle, say 21-24 days, there is a slight chance that you could get pregnant during or directly after your period.

“[A shorter cycle] means you are ovulating earlier in the cycle,” according to the American Pregnancy Association. “Sperm can live inside you for 2, 3 and up to 5 days. You could have sex towards the end of your bleeding and then actually conceive 4 or 5 days later with your early ovulation.”

In fact, rather than designating your period as the time where your boyfriend can try cumming inside you, your least fertile time is actually directly before your period. Again, this applies more for women who have a 28 day or longer cycle. So sorry, if you have a short cycle, you always need to be extra careful (unless you’re trying to get pregnant, then consider yourself lucky).

With more and more states instilling ridiculous regulations on abortions, it’s important to stay safe. Even if you’re going to go sans condom with your boyfriend or long term partner, convince him to go for the pull out method rather than ejaculating inside of you. Contrary to what your conservative sex ed teacher  may have told you, the pull out method is actually super effective. Just remember that condoms are the only thing that can protect you from STDs.

Justin Bieber got into a fistfight last night, and it definitely could have gone better for him.

Although TBH, what can you expect when you get into a fight with some random guy off the street who’s not only taller than you but bigger than you too?

The fight, which took place shortly after 11 outside the hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, where the Biebs was staying, began as some random guy off the street threw a light punch at the side of Justin’s head, which prompted Justin to immediately clock him in the face.

Things kind of unfolded from there.

Obviously Bieber had a security detail around him who stepped in to make sure things didn’t end too badly for the Biebs, but still, seeing as how the clip ends with the rando wrestling Bieber to the ground, things could have worked out better.

It’s unclear what started the fight, although it’s possible that it could have had something to do with the Cleveland Cavaliers shirt that Justin was wearing.

Just in case you didn’t spend last night in a sports bar, yesterday was Game 3 of the NBA finals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers ended up beating the Golden State Warriors, so maybe this random guy was just a big Stephen Curry fan.

Watch the video below and laugh as the guy who films it says, “Oh shit, I’m getting on TMZ.”

At least one person scored a win off this whole thing.

Anyone who’s ever dated a massive pothead who swears he’s not addicted to weed probably knows: marijuana’s gotta be at least a little habit-forming, no matter how often weed apologists insist it isn’t.

Long-term marijuana use disrupts the brain’s normal reward processes, which may lead to dependence on the drug and a change in how the brain processes pleasure, according to a new study.

Among 59 weed-using adults and 70 non-users who participated in a study completed by researchers at the University of Texas, in which participants were asked to rate their urge to partake in weed-related activities when presented with various images, it was determined that for long-term weed smokers, the mesocorticolimbic reward system was more active when presented with cannabis cues than with natural reward cues.

Translation: people got more excited looking at drug paraphernalia than they did looking at actual clues. Sad.

Visual cannabis cues included things such as a pipe, bong, joint or blunt, and natural reward cues included self-selected images of preferred fruit, such as a banana, an apple, grapes or an orange.

Although marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in America, with nearly 22.2 million users in the past month, an increasing number of states are legalizing its use for recreational or medical purposes.

However, Dr. Filbey and colleagues note that there is limited information on how the drug might lead to problematic use: “We found that this disruption of the reward system correlates with the number of problems, such as family issues, individuals have because of their marijuana use,” Filbey said. “Continued marijuana use despite these problems is an indicator of marijuana dependence.”

The research, which was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, also collected self-reports from study participants to measure problems associated with marijuana use. On average, marijuana participants had used the drug for 12 years.

“This study shows that marijuana disrupts the natural reward circuitry of the brain, making marijuana highly salient to those who use it heavily,” Dr. Francesca Filbey, director of Cognitive Neuroscience Research in Addictive Disorders at the Center for BrainHealth, said in a press release. “In essence, these brain alterations could be a marker of transition from recreational marijuana use to problematic use.”

While only a small number of studies have investigated how marijuana use impacts the neural circuits of the brain to trigger cravings for the drug, the most terrifying part of this study is its suggestion that the mesocorticolimbic reward system is involved, a system which incorporates several brain regions that release dopamine – a neurotransmitter that regulates the reward and pleasure centers – in response to certain cues.

Okay, so now what? Is cannabis really that bad?

“This seems at least somewhat overblown,” Tom Angell, chairman of Marijuana Majority, told Complex Wednesday. “But even if you think marijuana is dangerous, you have to acknowledge that keeping it illegal only increases all possible harms. Drug cartels and gangs on the black market don’t test and label their products for potency and purity. As a result, consumers generally have no idea what they’re actually putting into their bodies.”

In light of this new research, the number of studies performed annually on marijuana’s impact on the brain, the body, and everything else will most likely see a drastic increase. So, that’s at least comforting.

Sort of…

The word fuckboy is a new and incredibly useful term.

Back in the day, your neighborhood fuckboy was probably referred to as a “playboy,” “bachelor,” or “man’s man.” Those are all compliments, btw. There was literally no insult for a guy who liked to manipulate and fuck over women.

But nowadays, men don’t control the media, especially not online. And that’s why we finally have the word “fuckboy” for putting these assholes in their place.

It begs the question, though: which studs of yesteryear were down-low fuckboys who got away with shady behavior because they were hot and famous and no one knew quite what to call them?

Forget the man-bun wearing, hype-beast douches of today! These hunks were all the rage before the modern day fuckboy ruined lives in their Roche-Runs. We’ve gathered 10 of the baddest fuck-boys of the past.

1. Clint Eastwood

The now 86-year-old actor used to be one of Hollywood’s most notorious womanizers (and still is really). The actor has been married twice, has kids with FIVE different women. and has an unconfirmed amount of children. Dude got around.

He also had a 14-year affair with co-star Sondra Locke while STILL married to his first wife, Maggie Johnson. In her memoir, Locke says that Clint “persuaded her to have two abortions and a tubal ligation under false pretenses,” according to ABC. She also “accused him of sabotaging her directorial career after they split up and revealed that he secretly fathered two children with another woman during the last three years of their relationship.”

And the list goes on from there. Zamn, imagine his holiday season.

2. Joe DiMaggio

While his short-lived (and by short we mean 274 days of marriage) all-American romance with Marilyn Monroe was coming to an end in 1954, a jealous Joe DiMaggio followed in Frank Sinatra’s footsteps by hiring a private investigator to follow her around, just hoping that he might catch her cheating on him.

One night, Sinatra and DiMaggio, backed by five mafioso dudes in suits, went to an apartment complex in West Hollywood,  DiMaggio knew Monroe was having an affair with her voice coach, and he wanted to catch them in the act. Marilyn and Joe also got into several altercations, many of which ended with Marilyn being abused.

After their marriage officially ended, Joe was rumored to have slept with all of the 1950s Hollywood starlets that looked somewhat like Marilyn. If Instagram was around back then, you know he would’ve uploaded pics of himself with all of them.

3. John F. Kennedy

JFK might be the most iconic fuckboys of the bygone era. Before the Oval Office, he was getting down with one of the most celebrated strippers of all time: Blaze Starr. While in office, and still married to Jackie, he had several affairs with White House secretaries and interns, and most famously, Marilyn Monroe.

Another one of his rumored side chicks, Mary Pinchot Meyer, was shot dead one year after JFK’s assassination. Many people think it was part of the giant coverup and conspiracy theory surrounding his death, but many people also believe in chemtrails, so we’ll withhold judgment on that part.

4. Marlon Brando

Known for his good looks and screaming “STELLLLLAAAAA” and muttering “I’ll make an offer he can’t refuse,” Marlon Brando was revealed to be insanely addicted to sex.

In a documentary that was recently released, Marlon confessed to this addiction, and according to the Daily Mail, “he says his sex drive was so high he was like a ‘beast’,” with women. He apparently had “women coming in the door and going out the window.” Aside from a brief relationship with James Dean, he was also rumored to have an affair with Marilyn Monroe and several of his co-stars.

He also reportedly said this in 2004, before his death: “Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me.”

A true fuckboy never discriminates.

5. Frank Sinatra

This one really shocked us: not Frank too!

Here’s just a small sampling of the crazy shit he did: Sinatra hosted sex parties in casinos, he was once arrested for sleeping with a married woman (which used to be considered a crime back then), he once starred in a porno, and according to one of his four wives, Ava Gardner, he was gifted in the dick department.

He also had an affair with Marilyn Monroe (anyone else seeing a pattern on this list?). His one rule? No gang bangs. Aw, well at least he was kind of considerate!

When he started getting along in age, he also married Mia Farrow when she was 21 and he was 50. Handling your midlife crisis by taking a borderline child bride? You can’t get much more fuckboy-ish than that.

6. Humphrey Bogart

In his biography, the Casablanca star was estimated to have slept with over 1,00o women. That number is ridiculous. The book also details his “voracious sexual appetite,” and affairs with some well-known starlets including Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Ingrid Bergman, a co-star in the famous movie “Casablanca.”

During his second marriage to Mary Phillips, he was really depressed and was afraid he was gay, and even contemplated suicide. Then he met actress Lauren Bacall, who he thought of as the love of his life after three unsuccessful marriages. Fourth time’s a charm?

Source: The Telegraph 

7. Charlie Chaplin

The funny guy with the mustache was apparently into the whole age difference thing. He hooked up with many of the co-stars in his movies, most of which were young girls around the age of 16.

Charlie was also involved in several affairs during his marriages, had an insane amount of estranged children, and there were also many allegations of abuse against him from actresses that were half his age. When he was 50, his fourth marriage was to an 18-year-old Oona O’Neill, another aspiring actress.

8. John Wayne

America’s favorite cowboy was also a womanizer! During his three marriages, he had multiple affairs, and seven children. Two of the affairs ended up being long term, and overlapped marriages.

One lasted three years with Marlene Dietrich, who was a German actress. The two didn’t even try to hide their affair while filming their movie, “Seven Sinners.”

“When Wayne arrived daily on the movie set, Dietrich would leap into his arms and wrap her legs around him,” according to The Daily Mail. He also had an affair with Maureen O’Hara, another actress famous for western themed films.

9. Elvis Presley

Ughhh, the heart-throb of all heart-throbs.

Elvis apparently had a thing for taking girls’ virginity. He slept with many fans, taking advantage of all of the sex that his fame could bring him. According the author of his biography, Joel Williamson, “Elvis was skillful in the wooing process. When he wanted, he could make a girl — an audience of one — feel that she was the only one in the whole world for him.”

He also had a thing for watching couples make love through a two way mirror, and after Priscilla gave birth to their daughter Lisa Marie, Elvis did not want to have sex with her anymore. Their marriage fell apart after that, he invited Miss Tennessee 1972 Linda Thompson to move into Graceland with him.

Violet Overn was inspired by Sally Field’s Oscar acceptance speech — “You like me! You really like me!” she famously exclaims in her triumphant moment — to create “Mile Stone,” a photo series that aims to capture how girls feel inside, instead of focusing on moments created for the camera.

“My work reflects the idea of tainting memories to be what they sometimes are not, to color them in only the parts we want to remember,” Violet explains. “I’m interested in exploring how we remember our past.”

Violet took all of the photos, set up as “purposeful portraits from events,” by herself, with her iPhone. The household props she used were all important as well; even the milk she spits out in her “Sweet Sixteen” photo is reminiscent of the moments that are supposed to feel important, but are just uncomfortable.

“Through capturing the woman archetype, I’m revealing the ridiculousness of how much we focus on a woman’s looks and what, as women, we are supposed to aspire to and achieve in our lives,” she said.

She spoke to GaloreTV about “Mile Stone” so check out the photo series, and watch her interview below.

You’d think comedians would mercilessly mock all things spirituality-based. Personally, whenever I think of comedy and woo-woo-hippie shit intersecting, that one Jackass clip where Johnny Knoxville destroys an entire yoga class by farting throughout comes to mind.

But in New York this month, two of the city’s most hilarious up-and-coming comedians are holding a stand-up comedy “Moon Ritual,” complete with chanting, crystals, and story-telling. Dead-ass, you guys.

Sara Armour and Jessica Brodkin are not only professional stand-up comedians, but also work as a reiki healer and a life coach, respectively. The Moonual is their monthly comedy show, to be held every full moon at Caroline’s Comedy Club starting this June 22, where they’ll combine stand-up and spirituality in a way that surely no one else has been crazy enough to try before.

“Our Moonual will honor mother nature and her divine lunar cycle, tap into the humor, intuition, and healing that comes with this historically ‘hysterical’ time,” the ladies explain, “and leave you feeling refreshed, lighter, and as bright as the moon that guides us.”

Talking to Jessica and Sara when they stopped by Galore HQ to talk about their show this week, it’s not hard to see how they’ve turned improbable careers like coaching and reiki and stand-up into their bread and butter. They’re both determined, smart, and hilarious. And far from the Xanaxed-out hippie chick personas you might expect from two such spiritual ladies, they’re witty af and whip-smart.

In a city full of comedians at all stages of development, Jessica and Sara have to be the only ones who also spend their downtime getting in touch with people’s inner whatevers. And that connection’s not lost on them.

“When I call Jessica to hang out,” Sara said, “she’ll like, ‘I’ll be over in an hour, I have to go to the McDonald’s at Park Place and release Dawn, she’s a spirit that’s been living over there since the 1800s and she said she needs me.'”

Sara and Jessica whole-heartedly believe in and practice what they preach. They don’t scoff at spirituality (well, most of the time), and they insist that no matter what your beliefs are, as long as they make you feel better, that’s all that matters.

And their back stories are insane. Jessica worked for the CIA for 10 years before an illness led her to try reiki healing. It worked, miraculously, even though modern medicine had failed her. She’s now totally healthy and has turned in her spy card (they have those, right?) to do stand-up and clear other people’s chakras full time.

She’s also a medium, a talent she discovered when she was in the shower one day and she heard a message from Patti Stanger’s dearly departed uncle. No joke. So she emailed info@millionairematchmaker.com to tell Patti she had a message for her, heard from Patti the next day, and had her first of several celebrity clients lined up.

You might think her background as a CIA worker, and the multiple heavy-duty degrees she had to complete before clinching the job, would make her skeptical — and they did. But she’s made peace with her calling and she believes whole-heartedly in what she does for a living.

Sara, on the other hand, started life coaching after college, when she realized she was providing so many hours of free advice to friends and acquaintances that she simply had to start charging. She now provides guidance to clients in the form of creative workshops for corporations, one-on-one coaching, and more. A conversation with her is like a perpetual pep talk in the best way possible. It’s not hard to understand why she literally makes people feel better for a living, whether it’s through comedy or coaching, 24/7.

They also have serious feminist street cred. Not only is the show being held at Caroline’s on Broadway — the swankiest comedy club in town, which also happens to be run by yet another boss bitch, Caroline Hirsch — but one time when Sara was performing there, feminist legend Gloria Steinem stopped by and heard Sara tell a story about a guy plopping his naked dick on her head.

See the below photo for proof. Sara has helpfully circled Gloria Steinem.

Sara and Jessica’s comedy cred is unquestionable, so I know their show will be a totally non-corny gathering of hilarious women and a few dudes.

So what’s the deal with the spirituality part?

A skeptic by nature, I wasn’t sure what to think when Jessica started pulling crystals out of her massive purse during our meeting. It was like the loaves and the fishes — she pulled out rock after rock, seemingly out of nowhere, and explained which ones were for love, which ones were for money, and which ones did or didn’t need to be “charged.” And I have to admit that I definitely picked up on all the vibes she was talking about. Picking up a pink 3D-star-of-David-shaped crystal, I really felt like my heart chakra was doing something.

Whether you believe in spirits and self-help and mindfulness or not, one thing’s for sure: laughing cures literally anything, and laughing with a bunch of badass babes like Sara, Jessica, and the audience their show will attract is even better. Reserve tickets for the Moonual here.

Cam girls have been performing live sex shows since internet-connected cameras first came into the world. But thanks to a new era of easy-to-access technology, the camming profession is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. “I’m my own boss,” says @AlexxxCoal, a working cam girl, on why she prefers her occupation to past jobs. “One of my biggest focuses has been shooting things that I’ve wanted to see in porn,” says @OUSweetheart of her thought process behind creating cam girl content. Galore TV went inside the hidden world of cam girls to find out the truth about camming. Here’s what we found out:

More good news for red wine lovers!

When consumed at moderate levels, red wine provides a wide range of benefits to health, skin and hair. Yes… I said hair! The benefits of red wine are used to help treat an array of hair problems. But unfortunately, you won’t achieve lustrous hair by drinking the wine, you have to apply it directly to the hair, according to celebrity hairstylist John Blaine.

In fact, Blaine has a new haircare line, Vine de la Vie, which was created with the belief that red wine promotes healthy hair. Blaine took to science to develop his brand’s signature wine extract, containing active polyphenols, which are used to aid in combating issues from cancer to inflammation.

It provides similar aid for hair, “healing damage, boosting strength, detoxifying, and neutralizing the oxidation process.” That means thicker, healthier hair is possible, and easier to achieve than you might’ve thought.

Blaine’s products range from $35-$45 — the brand currently offers a shampoo, conditioner, mask, styling elixir, and serum, each housed in a wine-colored bottle.

Wine isn’t just for drinking, it’s for your hair too! Our products contain wine extract, that leave your hair feeling soft, sexy and smooth. #VineDeLaVie

So yes, external use of red wine is actually healthy and fun! Cheers!

Although butts may be the current cultural commodity, it’s never not been “in fashion” to have a small waist.

Consequently, the history of woman’s fashion could be subtitled, “Corsets: Yup, They’re Still Here.”

Here’s a brief history of corsets from ancient times to today, tracing their journey from the sexual pagans who first dared to constrain to the Kardashians and the re-emergence of a waist training-obsessed society.

The Humble, But Very Sexy Beginning of Corsets

While the exact origin of corsets remain unknown, there’s proof going back as far as 3,000 BCE that Cretan, Sumerian and Minoan women were wearing open-fronted bodices which framed their bare breasts (scandalous) paired with flounced skirts that emphasized the shapely hips stemming from their tiny waists.

There’s no real evidence to suggest that this was a wide-spread fashion trend, however, and it’s generally agreed upon that these daring pioneers were priestesses related to the fertility cult, hence the insistence on freeing the nip and emphasizing their birthing-ready hips.

Corsets in the Middle Ages: Welcome to Slut-Shaming, Ladies

Now it was common in Europe for women to wear clothing, and by clothing we mean dresses, that exposed the top of the neck, chest and cleavage.  Just because it was common doesn’t mean that everybody was on board the “let’s show off the goods our mamma gave us so we can get a good husband and have a chance to have sex before we die at a very young age because antibiotics isn’t a thing yet,” train. There are references in Dante of the writer slut-shaming the fine women of Florence for wearing clothing that “showed their bosom and breasts” in public.

Men, am I right?

Then in the 1400s, over in France, Agnes Sorel, the mistress to Charles VIII, started the trend of wearing décolleté gowns in French Court, which is just a fancy word for dresses that show your décolletage.

And just like when Kim started wearing waist trainers, once Agnes started wearing hers, every fashionable woman wanted to do it, and thus the first wide-spread corset-involved fashion trend was born.

The Renaissance Happens, And Corsets Become A Major Status Symbol

Huzzah, between 1500 and 1550 the first rurl corset is invented, only it was called a bodice.

Just in case you didn’t grow up being dragged to the Renaissance fair by your parents, Huzzah is dorky Renaissance slang for “fuck yeah!”

Made out of rigid materials like whalebone and animal horn and fancy fabrics with detailed stitching, corsets, and the ample bosoms they emphasized, became a symbol of status and beauty among the aristocratic and upper class women of the Western world.

Ooooh, look at all the beautiful bodice patterns.

Catherine de Medici is commonly credited with introducing the fashion to France, at which point corsets were everywhere from Italy to the English court, as is evidenced of portraits from Queen Mary II, Henrietta Maria, and Queen Elizabeth I.

Good News For Women Who Like To Breathe, The Georgian Era Is Here

Just like shoulder pads in the 80s, a regrettable fashion trend cropped up in the late Georgian period, and if you’re at all familiar with the novels of Jane Austin, then you already know what it is.

The empire waist.

By 1796, bust lines and waistlines had moved way way way up, and seeing as how women’s torsos were now hidden under a pile of shapeless fabric, corsets didn’t need to be so constricting anymore, and began following the natural form of the body.

Seriously, Gwyneth Paltrow could have been pregnant with Brad Pitt’s baby while she was filming “Emma” and we never would have known.

But you know what did need to happen?

Breasts needed to be lifted and separated.

So, for the first time, cups get added to corsets, which officially become considered underwear, a.k.a. that thing that nobody besides your husband, your sisters, God, and your servants are EVER supposed to see.

Since there was less form shaping going on, people started calling the undergarments by the French term for lightly boned bodices — you guessed it, “corsets.”

The Victorian Era Prudes Ruin Corsets For Everybody

Just when women thought they’d be able to breathe while being fashionable forever, bam, the Victorian era comes to town.

Waist lines for dresses return to their normal position on the body and corsets become more popular than ever.

And more intense than ever before.

Don’t your bones hurt just looking at those waist lines?

Around this time, corsets started being made out of not just whalebone, but other horrible materials to have around your body like steel and wood.

And to make matters worse, literally everybody with any social standing whatsoever was wearing them because everybody wanted that Barbie hourglass figure, even though the Victorians were legendary prudes.

Not that emphasizing your figure constitutes a willingness to engage in sexual behavior of course, it’s just interesting that an era so concerned with holding everything in was equally concerned with making their waistlines look as hot as possible.

This also marks the first time that physicians and heads of state like Napoleon Bonaparte started warning women about the dangers of corsets, with Napoleon going so far as to call them “the murderer of the human race.”

Just When You Thought Things Couldn’t Get Worse For Women, Some Asshole Invented The S-Line Corset

Towards the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of the Edwardian era, fashion pundits decided they needed to devise a way to torture women even more than they already were, so some asshole devised a more extreme version of the corset that was already tyrannizing a generation: the S-line corset.

S-Line corsets forced your bells and your hips backward, which made standing up straight literally impossible.

Yeah, we don’t even want to think about how uncomfortable wearing one of these bad boys was.

Byeeeeeeeee, Corsets. Hello, 1920s Rebellion!

In a rebellion against the thousands of years of women’s fashion that came before them, cool, liberalized women decide to stop wearing the S-line corsets of their parents’ generation and start wearing corsets made with elastic inserts, or better yet, start saying “hell nah” to the idea of wearing corsets on the daily… or ever.

During WWI, women began to stop wearing corsets all together in accordance with the brand-new fashion rules which deemed that corsets and elegant dresses were no longer synonymous with each other.

Meanwhile, the flapper fashion trend began to take hold of the more adventurous women in society.

Look at those sexy ass feminists strut!

Around this time, pliable girdles were introduced to help obtain the new fashionable boyish body image: flattening the bust and emphasizing the long, slender body shape.

Dior Changes the Game, Makes Waist Shaping Necessary Again

In 1947, two years after the end of WWII, Dior introduces their “New Look,” which of course wasn’t actually new at all, but very old.

And just like that, having a small waist became just as fashionable as it had been for pretty much all of history.

Only, instead of returning to wearing corsets, people just figured out how to make different girdles and bras. You know, so women could be slightly more comfortable while barely being able to breathe or move without hating themselves.

Burn Your Bra, Burn Your Girdle, And Pass Me The Acid, Man

We don’t even have to tell you what happened in the 60s and 70s to restrictive underwear, do we?

High Fashion Makes the Corset Cool Again

Jean Paul Gaultier successfully mounts a campaign to bring back the corset starting in 1983, the year he walked his first corseted dress down the runway.

Suddenly, people wanted to wear corsets again, and they stopped being seen as mandatory underwear and instead as fashionable outerwear.

Then in 1987, Vivienne Westwood follows suit, using old 18th century patterns to present her own version of the corset, transforming what used to be a symbol of female oppression into one of female empowerment.

Obviously, Mandonna wore both of their creations, thus ensuring that the new corset revolution trickled down to the masses from the high fashion world.

Welcome to the Present: Spanx, Waist Trainers and Kardashians, Oh My!

Although it would take nearly a decade to become an ubiquitous product, in 2000 the clothing company Spanx was launched by Sara Blakely out of her apartment in Georgia.

For years, Spanx were something you didn’t talk about and went to great lengths to hide, and then the Kardashians happened.

Just like nearly everything else in their lives, the Kardashians weren’t ashamed to admit that they wore Spanx on a regular basis, and that those shaping underwear were part of the secret behind their enviable shapes, which is as true today as it was in the early 2000s when they found fame.

Then in 2014, Kim changed the game again when she posted a picture of herself on Instagram wearing a corset and told the world that she was officially in the waist training game.

Obviously, it didn’t take long for the trend to catch on. And even though waist training is something that mostly just celebrities and other Instagram famous people do, just like corsets and the small waists they created were seen as a status symbol when they first emerged in the English and French courts of the 1500s, so are waist trainers and the Kardashian-size waists we’ve all been trained to envy today.

For better or for worse, so long as we live in a society that puts so much emphasis on the way women look, corsets, or some form of them, will always be there, waiting to help us and harm us on our quest to the perfect, or at least fashionable, body.

Festival season is upon us; which means cute crop tops, hot Instagram selfies, and sexy DJs.

California native MAKJ has played some of the world’s biggest music festivals in the past few years; including Ultra, Coachella, and TomorrowWorld. He also earned a spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 List last year. We talked to MAKJ about his festival essentials, how he maintains his long distance relationship, and his secret taco spot.

What’s your favorite music festival?

Probably Coachella 2014 when I got to play and bring my parents who had never seen me perform before. It was definitely eye opening for them.

What’s the sexiest thing a girl can wear to a music festival?

Sexiest? I would say what’s the most comfortable thing a girl could wear. Going to a festival and trying to be “sexy” doesn’t necessarily make you sexy. Being able to rock a plain tee, shorts, and some Vans is the look I always find attractive.

What are the top five things everyone needs to bring to a music festival?

An extra Grapes The Cat rechargeable battery for your cell phone, comfortable shoes, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, and good friends.

You’ve tweeted that “tacos are life,” what are your favorite type of tacos? Where’s your favorite taco spot?

Honestly, I shouldn’t even be telling you guys my spot I go to, but it’s. Tacos El Franc in Tijuana. Honestly, it might have the best Tacos Al Pastor you can find in the world. Go ahead and quote me on that.

You’re from Cali, but you spent time in China during your teenage years, how do you think that shaped you as a person?

It helped me learn how to fend for myself. I was 15 years old in a foreign country, which was scary at first, but ultimately an amazing experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. It taught me a lot about other cultures, it made me grow up.

You originally were pursuing race car driving, but then decided to go into DJing, what do the two activities have in common? Why was DJing your ultimate decision?

Racing and DJing have only one similarity I’ve come across, which is mind over body. Being able to focus while going 170mph is similar to playing in front of 40,000 people. Having the ability to just focus on the task at hand is what I’ve learned from both professions. I actually fell into DJing while I was racing in Macau, China. After the race, the team and myself all went out to a club and low and behold DJ AM was playing. I had never seen anything like it before, the next day I went out and bought some turntables and the rest was history.

What other passions keep you busy when you’re not focusing on DJing?

I love to exercise and eat. Eating definitely keeps me happy while I’m away on tour.

What’s the toughest thing about dating while being a DJ? How do you keep your relationship strong albeit your constant traveling?

You first have to meet the right woman. I got really lucky finding my girlfriend, she also works in the night club scene so she knows how the “DJ life” works. Traveling and spending weeks at a time away from her has to be the hardest part. We do what we can to stay connected, but I also try to fly her out to as many gigs as possible.

What’s the most awesome thing your girlfriend has ever done for you?

On our first date she asked me if I had a passport, I said yes. So, we drove to Tijuana and ate at that tacos spot I mentioned above. Best date ever.

Why the giraffe logo?

Well, my neck is long and some fans kept calling me a giraffe via Facebook. Other people started to realize after reading that comment that I actually kind of do look like a giraffe. Ever since that… I really just went with it.

We’re huge proponents of women who brag at Galore. And some news out of Google totally backs our hypothesis that if we all shouted our accomplishments from the rooftops a little more, we’d get a serious leg up in the world.

During an interview for NPR’s Hidden Brain Podcast this week, Lazslo Bock a.k.a Google’s head of human resources discussed an aspect of their hiring process that highlights why women need to brag more.

Bock says that Google poses this question for prospective engineers: “On a scale of one to five, rate yourself as a software engineer.”

Because while Google’s apparently famous for asking crazy interview questions — “How would you explain a database to your 8-year-old nephew? How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? Why are manholes round?” New York Mag reported — they’ve recently undergone changes to streamline their hiring process. But it’s Google, so you can assume simple questions aren’t always so simple.

If you’re a dude, Bock says the answer they’re looking for is a “4.” Why?

“Men tend to overestimate their capabilities, on average, [and] men tend to be less self-aware, on average, as [compared to] women,” he said. “And for a man to say four was a signal — not the only one, but a signal — that this guy’s a little more self-aware, maybe he realizes he has something to learn, and that was positively correlated with success here.”

Women were rated differently. Bock explains:

If you’re a woman, however, the score that was most predictive was a five out of five. And our hypothesis there was because there is so much societal pressure on women to be self-effacing and humble and hang back and be modest, and wait till they’re certain rather than raising their hand at the first opportunity like men, on average, do — that if a woman says she’s a five, first of all, she’s probably going to have higher EQ and social perceptiveness on average. And second — she’s gonna be amazing! And, indeed, that’s what we see.

That’s cool, but it also seems like the pressure to say “5/5” when asked to rate yourself might be a bit overwhelming for anyone, much less a woman in an industry that’s totally male dominated. In 2014, Huffington Post wrote an article about why it’s difficult for women to brag about themselves; it’s largely because society doesn’t always respond well to women who don’t portray themselves as modest.

The result is such that telling women not to be modest could end up causing us more anxiety. Then again, if the trade-off for anxiety is getting hired at Google, I suppose there are worse outcomes in the world. Moral of the story? Know yourself, know your worth. Like another successful guy named Drake said.
