Justin Bieber flaunts in his Calvins, he glows in his Calvins, he dreams in his Calvins, and now, Justin Bieber even wakeboards in his Calvins, because contractual obligation is a bitch.

justin_bieber_calvin_ad_galore_mag

Over the weekend, Justin Bieber had a couple of days off from his Purpose tour, so he decided to hang out with a bunch of his friends and go wakeboarding.

While he started the activity wearing swim trunks, like a sensible human being, at some point he decided to throw caution to the wind and strip down to his Calvins, which quickly became very wet, and partially see through.

He even got one of his dumb ass friends to do it with him!

Ashley Benson, star of Pretty Little Liars who is apparently one of Justin Bieber’s close friends, was there to laugh at the boys and then get back to checking Instagram.

And why did Justin Bieber do this?

Was it because he decided to be a little shit and take his contractual obligation to wear his Calvins everywhere incredibly literally?

Was it because he wanted to try and look cool in front of his friends?

Or did whatever liquid was in that red, plastic Solo cup he was seen drinking from just make it seem like a good idea at the time?

Whatever the reason, we’re sure Calvin Klein won’t mind.

Not to brag or anything, but Justin’s made them $69 million more than they made before he started peddling their underwear everywhere.

Must feel nice to have a purpose in life.

Study: Americans Think FroYo and SlimFast Shakes Are Healthy

Ever notice how Americans are all over the place when it comes to food?

We make the top 10 list for highest obesity rates in the world, even though 77% of us insist we’re “eating healthy,” according to Forbes. We spend $60 billion on weight loss products per year, but we still can’t lose weight. Clearly, something’s not adding up.

And a new report from the New York Times highlights just how dumb we all are when it comes to the concept of healthy food.

The Times surveyed nutritionists and regular eaters on which foods they’d consider healthy. And unsurprisingly, the general public has a pretty shaky grasp on health. For instance, nutritionists are pretty much over the concept of a granola bar as a health food since most of them are packed with sugar. Only 28% of nutritionists would rank granola bars as “healthy.” But 71% of the general public still swears by them.

The jig is up on frozen yogurt, too, as only 33% of nutritionists count it as “healthy.” Even that number seems high for glorified ice cream. It’s even worse for the general public: a whopping 66% of us are still convinced that our Pinkberry habit is totally good for us.

Oh, and almost half of Americans surveyed think SlimFast shakes, which I’m pretty sure are made of sugar and chalk dust, are healthy. Cool.

In addition to not knowing what’s bad for us, we also have no clue what’s good. Amazingly, about half the general public believes quinoa, sushi, and tofu are unhealthy, while the vast majority of nutritionists classify these three products as healthy. WTF are we all thinking?!

There is one silver lining to this study: 70% of nutritionists would call wine healthy, while only 52% of the general public do. Even though, as we’ve covered in these very pages, red wine is good for your hair, can help you lose weight and won’t spike your insulin levels like beer.

So let’s all pair some wine with our sushi and quinoa like health goddesses. And for the love of god, stop drinking SlimFast products! Come on, you guys. Come on.

Why Khloé, Kylie, and Kim Are All ‘Internally Sad’ Right Now

It is my deepest regret to inform you that as of right now, Khloé, Kylie, and Kim are all “internally sad.”

TBH, we’re not really sure what “internally sad” means, except that it’s the opposite of “externally sad”? But we have a feeling that it’s very existential and makes Kim feel like pulling out that ugly crying face we can’t get enough of.

 kim_kardashian_crying_face_galore_mag

Of course, since they’re all individuals, each sister is deeply upset for a deeply different reason.

Let’s start with Khloé, shall we?

On this week’s episode of Keeping up With the Kardashians, Rob reveals to his sisters why he kept his engagement a secret from them and also drops the bomb that he knocked up Blac Chyna.

Khloé, who we’ve all counted on as being the shady sister during this troubling plot line, barely even manages to do the polite thing and tell her sock-selling brother “Congratulations.”

“I don’t know my emotions right know,” Khloé konfessed. “I know I feel, I feel more empty and more unresolved than anything else and I’m like internally sad.”

That’s deep, Khlo.

We feel you. At this point, we also don’t know what to think about Rob, Angela, and the yet-to-be-born Kardashian baby who’s destined to rule the world in custom Balmain as either a tyrant, a god, or the king of all fuckboys.

Meanwhile, later on in the episode Kylie Jenner also lets on that she’s deeply sad, only it’s not because of Rob, or the fact that she’s about to be related to her on-again-off-again boyfriend, but because she doesn’t feel like being famous, saying:

“Yeah, some people are born for this life and some people aren’t and I just know I’m not supposed to be famous, like I can feel it deep down inside.”

But out of all her sisters, the saddest of all is probably Kim, who deliberately stayed in yesterday instead of partying with her friends because she was too afraid TO BREAK HER DIET.

 kim_kardashian_diet_sad_galore_mag

Didn’t anybody ever tell Kim that calories don’t count on holidays?

Here’s hoping that Khloé, Kylie and Kim can make a full recovery during the course of this week and stop being so sad, because it’s really bumming us out, and our hangovers are already doing a good enough job of that on their own.

The Single Girl’s Summer 2016 Bucket List

$

Everyone knows that summer is the best season to be single. First off, your sex drive is way up. Secondly, there are shirtless/sweaty boys everywhere. Thirdly, you look sexy even when you’re not trying to be sexy. Unlike in the winter when you likely run into your ex as you’re wearing sweatpants with a northface and no makeup; in the summer you’re always dressed sexy and your slight tan leaves you feeling awesome even when you’re makeup free.

If you’ve entered the summer season with a bae, dump him (JK). But, sorry, this list isn’t for you.

This list is for the girls who are ready to take their summer by the horns and live up their single girl experience why they can.

1. Go On a Tinder Date

There’s a reason that you’ve seen more and more people shamelessly swiping right (or left) on the subway. Tinder isn’t embarrassing anymore. If you check out your local newspapers wedding announcements, you’ll notice that most of them admit to meeting on some type of dating app.

If you’ve never been on a real dating app date (a.k.a. you only joined for a confidence boost), you should go on one this summer. Not to find a summer boyfriend, but for the experience of it. At best, you’ll get a good one night stand or explore a part of town that you’ve never been to. At worst, you’ll get a good story.

Obviously, be safe about it and let your BFF know who you’re going out with or where you’re going. In fact, if you’re down to go on a double date, download an app like Grouper for a group-Tinder experience.

2. Travel By Yourself

We’ve all been inspired by the Eat, Pray, Love idea of traveling across the world all alone. Unfortunately, this can be kind of scary and/or dangerous, plus most of us don’t have the money to casually book a plane ticket to Bali.

Instead, take a day-cation (or weekend, if you’re ballsy), to a new town/city nearby. You probably won’t “find yourself” in a day, but you can certainly enjoy your alone time, explore a new place, and get to know some new people at a bar or diner or whatever.

3. Get A Sugar Daddy

You don’t have to actually sign up for Seeking Arrangement or whatever other sugar daddy site, but if you live in a city like New York, you’ve likely been hit on by an older dude who promises to take you to Fiji and buy you a Birkin.

Because he’s a guy, he probably wants something in return for spoiling you (wonder what?), but remember that you don’t owe him shit. If he wants to take you shopping or out to that five-star restaurant you might as well live a life of luxury for a night. Just make sure he knows who’s boss (you are) and that he can’t buy your love.

4. Hook Up With Two Roommates

What’s more fun that taking advantage of guys’ cluelessness and unwillingness to talk about girls? Not much.

While a guy could probably never get away with hooking up with two BFFs, a girl can get away with this surprisingly easily thanks to guys not wanting to talk about their emotions or even specifics of girls that they hook up with.

Sure, there’s a chance they might be kind of pissed if (that’s a big if) they find out, but they might not even care because they’re guys and “bros before hoes” and shit.

5. Forget About Your Type At Least Once

So many of us stick to a strict “type” without realizing it. But you know those times where you see a guy who’s totally not your type and you for some reason think he’s hot?

Say that bartender you see at your local spot who’s got a full sleeve of tattoos and a nose ring. You think he’s sexy, but have never gone for it because you usually go for Wall Street type dudes, and you could never bring a guy like him home to mom and dad.

If you think he’s hot, it doesn’t have to matter that he’s not relationship-material. He could be great one night stand material, or free drinks all night material. Have a wild night with a wild boy before you meet your basic bitch boyfriend and are stuck with him all your life.

6. Splurge On Some Sexy Lingerie

You do not need a partner to buy lingerie. In fact, if you had one they should be the one buying you lingerie so you can save dat money.

Regardless, you should buy lingerie for yourself, not anybody else. As a gift to yourself for getting through the winter, you deserve to shell out a bit of cash for some lingerie that makes you feel like a Playboy centerfold.

After you buy whatever your heart desires, take that shit home and put it on, play your favorite sex playlist, light some candles, and start feeling yourself.

7. Sunbathe Nude

Unfortunately, the US is filled with porn-loving prudes and there are very few places where you can tan topless (let alone bottomless) legally. But, with some creativity (and some balls) you can certainly find a place or two that will allow you to get some sun sans tan lines.

Try your best friend’s rooftop or your parents’ backyard pool when they’re on vacation. Maybe you’ll match with a hottie on Tinder who has a secluded balcony?

Being naked outside is risky, but super rewarding. BTW, showing your boobs outside is legal in New York and some other states. There’s nothing like feeling the warm air on your free-hanging titties, and it’ll take your body confidence to a whole new level.

8. Do Something Outside Your Sexual Comfort Zone

Having a bae means consistent sex, but being single means crazier sex. Take advantage of your time solo to try the sexual kinks you’ve always fantasized about.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to try experimenting with a girl (like for real, not like the time you made out for guys’ attention in high school), maybe you’ve always wanted to be eiffel-towered, maybe pegging tickles your fancy.

Nothing is off limits, and thanks to dating apps it shouldn’t be too difficult to find someone who’s totally down to play into your fantasy. Cross it off the bucket list now, because next cuffing season you could end up with someone who’s not quite as open-minded.

9. Date Like a Dude

Sure, fuckboys suck, but dating like a fuckgirl is an interesting way to give dudes a taste of their own medicine; or at least to ensure that you stay single and have an awesome summer without getting hung up on someone.

Make a pact with yourself (or with your fave wing woman) to date like a dude this summer. You can have hook-ups and you can go on dates, but getting attached or serious with one guy is not allowed. If a guy seems to want something more, let him know in that cliché douchebag way that you’re just not looking for anything serious right now.

Let yourself have a rotating roster of dudes to fulfill your late night booty call or to buy you pizza. You’ll feel like you have your very own hottie harem, and you’ll never let one fuckboy ruin your night.

Selena Gomez Skipped T Swift’s Squad BBQ to Sing Along to Katy Perry Songs

As we’ve previously noted, Selena Gomez skipped T Swift’s squad BBQ party yesterday.

Why?

Because Selena decided she’d rather celebrate her freedom by singing along to Katy Perry songs.

Are you upset right now?

Because we are LIVID.

If you weren’t too drunk to catch up on social media before you went to bed last night, then you probably noticed that Selena Gomez threw her own house party last night which included very fun, very normal activities like listening to Drake, jumping into swimming pools, and making your butt bounce for the camera.

hostess vibes. Happy 4th everyone!

A video posted by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on

However, the party also included singing along to everybody’s favorite Katy Perry song “Firework,” which Selena had the AUDACITY to record on Snapchat for THE ENTIRE WORLD, INCLUDING HER SUPPOSED BFF TAYLOR to see.

Obviously this is a VERY SERIOUS problem because even though “Firework” is practically a 4th of July anthem, how DARE Selena turn her back on Taylor that way?

Never mind that Selena owes Katy a solid after maybe hooking up with Katy’s boyfriend a couple months ago, she’s Taylor’s BFF first, right?!?

Some things are just sacred.

After all, if you can’t trust your best friend, what’s the point in even having a squad?

And once one squad member turns, won’t it just only be a matter of time before one by one, all your friends leave your side for greener, less regulated pastures, no matter how many red, white and blue onesies you make let them wear?

Pray for everybody involved in this very serious, and not at all ridiculously overblown feud right now.

They all need it.

Why Model Diana Veras Wears ‘Feminism’ Around Her Neck

diana-varas-2-galore-mag

Diana Veras, 20 — better known as @mynamesdiana — is killing the game right now with over 200,000 social media followers, and a contract with Jag Models.

We sat down with Diana to hear her thoughts on diversity in the modeling industry, what it’s been like for her starting out, why she thinks its important to wear a necklace with the word “feminist,” and why she thinks Instagram models should get more respect.

When you were young, did you ever see yourself becoming a model?

It’s funny because my grandparents used to take pictures of me every month in different outfits. I grew up with them in Dominican Republic until I was seven, and moved here to be with my mom. But no, I didn’t realistically think I could be a model because back then. I thought all models were blonde pretty, and white.

How did you get your start as a model, and what made you want to pursue it as a career?

I got my start from this guy I used to date who knew a casting director by the name of Douglas Perett. I was 15 or 16 and he booked me for the Opening Ceremony show but at the time modeling was the last thing on my mind, I was super in love. But last summer I kept getting interviewed and everyone kept calling me a model. I was like, I guess I am? But I didn’t really consider myself one until I got signed.

How can you be in a relationship and still maintain your independence especially after being single for so long?

I still do whatever I want, it just allows me to have someone whose there to listen to me. We’re both very supportive of each other and in tune with each other. But because we’re both super vibrant people we need our own space at times.

Me and my friends are obsessed with you, Sel, and Elizabeth. You guys are all doing great things in the fashion industry. How would you describe the dynamic between the three of you?

We’ve been friends since high school, those are my home girls, and it’s amazing because we all do our own things. Sel is like so into designing, Eli is super into styling and I have my modeling so we all give each other input and they help me to care more about things that deal with fashion because even though I model they help me focus on stuff that has to do with styling and clothing. It’s so great though because we all go hard but we can do it together. We’ve definitely glo’d up together.

You seem super confident and unafraid, where would you say your confidence comes from and how do you respond to people who hate on you or to being told no?

I honestly used to be really self-conscious and insecure, I wanted to fit the mold that my best friends are in and they’ve always been super confident, so I distanced myself from them a little. Not like in a bad way, but it made me stop giving a fuck about what others think. I took time to get to know myself and was able to find myself and then I decided to just really be myself. People started liking me way more once I stopped giving a fuck and just decided to be my true self.

Whether or not you realize it, models like you, Jordyn Woods, and Barbie Ferreira are pioneering the fashion industry. How do you think the modeling industry is changing and what do you think it will look like in the next 5-10 years?

Maybe there will be like two or three curve models walking the runway but nowadays big designers still don’t want to work with us. I got so frustrated the other day to the point where I almost cried, I was going to a huge dinner and was struggling so much to find something to wear. I wanted to wear something designer but nothing fit. Then I went into Topshop and the jeans there didn’t fit me either, it’s just like, at what point are designers gonna take curve models seriously and make clothes for us? So many curvy women want to wear designer clothes but they just aren’t made. As a result it’s hard to tell where the industry will be in 5-10 years, but I like to live in the moment and focus on what’s happening now.

Jordyn Woods did a video for us about how much she hates the term “plus-sized,” how do you feel about the term and what do you like to be called?

I personally don’t care for the term “plus-sized” because people are always categorized, it’s like high school and like the movie Mean Girls, thats how real life is. If you’re gonna categorize me you can, but I don’t care. Regardless I’m still a model, why can’t I just be referred to as just that? You don’t see a skinny model being asked what kind of model she is.

Do you ever feel like people talk about Instagram models in a derogatory way, and do you feel like there needs to be a divide between what people consider to be an “Instagram model” versus a “real model?”

Instagram models are doing it! Instagram opened up so many doors for me, that’s where you find people now, people always generalize Instagram models as people who do crazy stuff and categorize them as one specific kind of woman. I feel like people are talented at all different kinds of things. If makeup and contouring is what someone is good at, why hate on it? Let them express themselves freely. Usually the people saying shit have no idea what’s going on. I also feel like with Instagram you don’t have to fit into one aesthetic, there are so many different things to be in the world and so many different people, we don’t all have to be the same. If you wanna be artsy and dress that way you can. If you’re interested in makeup you can be.

Why do you think its important to wear a feminist necklace?

I think its important because it shows that I don’t give a fuck. A lot of people I’m around think feminism is such a bad thing but wearing my necklace is a sign I don’t care about what anybody else thinks. I also have a sweater that says “don’t touch” across my boobs and I wear it proudly.

Your hair is so signature to your look, what products do you use in it?

I use shea moisture products, I can’t think of the names but I buy the peach-colored bottle — the curling cream and lotion I think, and then I use a diffuser for volume.

Do you feel pressured to have to use your platform as a model to help others?

Yeah, because I feel like it’s so many people watching me so I have to make something meaningful out of all of this. But sometimes I’m like, can I just be normal? I try to make my posts as real as possible. Like sometimes I’ll post something about my acne, my belly, or my stretch marks. However I am feeling that day I try to post about it because I’m still super normal. I want people to be able to relate to me and I want to normalize what being a girl is like and what girlhood is all about.

What Your Guy’s Tattoo Placement Says About Him

guys_tattoos_galore

Sometimes it’s not about what a guy’s tattoo is, but where he chose to get the tattoo. Seriously, is a guy’s fraternity tat less douchey if it’s on his leg vs. on his chest? And what can you decipher about your Tinder date that has a very questionable lower back tattoo?

If your latest bae has got a tat or two or has inked his whole body, it can say a lot about him. Let Ryan Reynold’s questionable leg tats or Zac Efron’s shameful YOLO tat guide you through deciding if your new tatted bae is worth your time.

1. On His Legs (And Only On His Legs)

Just Jared

Sorry, but guys who only get tatted on their legs (a la Ryan Reynolds) are fucking weird and the epitome of white privilege. This look essentially says “I want to look like a badass when I’m in summer clothes, but also still be able to pass as a typical white man in the corporate world,” explains Galore senior editor Molly Mulshine.

Sorry dude, but no matter how many skulls or quotes in Old English font that you get on your thighs, you still look like a loser in flip flops.

2. On His Back

Just Jared

A common tattoo that you’ll see on male backs all summer is a last name inked across a dudes upper back, perhaps inspired by every girl’s first crush, Ryan Sheckler.

In Ryan’s defense, he was actually an athlete (skaters are athletes, right?), so it made a little more sense to get the sports jersey inspired tat on his back. As for the average Jersey Shore bro who got “DiNicola” written across his muscle-bursting back?

He’s either really dedicated to his fam, or really dedicated to himself (have fun figuring out which one). He probably posts shirtless selfies on Instagram and hasn’t realized that it’s no longer cool for guys to get their ears pierced. On the plus side, if he is dedicated to his fam, he could be just as dedicated to you; just make sure you never hate on his mom’s cooking or his 40 year old brother that still lives at home.

3. All Over

Cloud Pix

While society is becoming more and more accepting of tats, there are still jobs that a fully-tatted person probably won’t be hired for.

If, like Wiz Khalifa, a dude sings about how he wants to “ink his whole body” like he don’t “give a motherfuck,” it’s only chill if he actually has a successful rap career, not if he’s slinging burgers at Five Guys.

If the tatted dude you happen to be banging actually has his own business, is a successful artist, or is killing it at whatever career path he’s chosen, that’s cool. But watch out. A guy who’s always looking for a new tattoo for a thrill might also always be looking for a new chick.

4. On His Face

Resting up for the show in Philly it’s gonna be a good one mark my words

A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

The dude who gets tatted on his face is either really ballsy, or really stupid; and 90% of the time it’s the latter.

Justin Bieber may have felt really cool when he got a cross tatted on his face a couple months ago, but if he wasn’t a billionaire pop star everyone would look at him like a total idiot (many of us still do regardless).

I’d challenge you to find a guy who planned out his face tattoo for more than a week, because chances are nearly every guy with a face tat got drunk one day and thought it’d be a good idea to get a flame under his left eyeball. This guy can’t make plans or rational decisions, and half the time his charming spontaneity is actually pretty idiotic. There’s a reason that the place you see most face tattoos are in mugshots.

5. On His Bicep

Wired

Marky Mark took his DILF role seriously and got his ugly-ass bicep tattoos removed while making his kids watch the whole thing in 2012, but we thankfully still have the photos to relive the memories.

Both of Mark’s previous tattoos, a Bob Marley portrait on one bicep and his own initials on the other bicep, look like they’re really bad henna tattoos, like the kind you get on the boardwalk on your family vaca to the Jersey Shore. Maybe this is because tattoos have evolved since Mark was young, or maybe because the bicep is the most cliché place to get a tat when you’re a little kid.

A guy with bicep tattoos likely lacks originality and will win you over with his big biceps rather than his wit. He’s sure to be a fun fuck and look great in your Instagram beach pics together, but you’ll probably have to eventually teach him to stop wearing boxers under his board-shorts and explain that working at Gold’s Gym isn’t a career path if you want things to last.

6. On His Crotch

Gawker

Instead of getting a tat on their crotch, guys should just get the words “fuckboy” emblazoned on their head.

Once I had the “pleasure” of hooking up with a dude that had the words “lucky you” tatted right above his crotch area. He claimed that the tat was a mistake that he had gotten done when he was an alcoholic, but even though he was now sober it was clear that the reason he got a tat there was because a new chick sees it every night.

Alex Pettyfer, who has “thank you” tatted above his pubes, is a perfect example of a dude with a crotch tattoo because I have no clue who he is other than the fact that he has a crotch tattoo that says “thank you.” According to Google, he’s an actor and model, which means that he’s famous enough to convince girls to go home with him even though they shouldn’t.

Guys don’t get tatted on their crotch area so that they can keep it discreet, they get tatted on their crotch because they want their frequent one night stands to remember them, but Lord knows that they won’t remember you.

7. On His Ass

Digital Spy

While a dude who gets tatted on his ass can also be a player, he’s way less douchey and way more hilarious. A guy with a tat on his ass doesn’t take life too seriously and likes to grab the bull by the horns (or the ass? IDK).

Like, sure, this Geordie Shore reality star posed for a fake ass tat solely to make fun of Cheryl Cole’s equally insane tat, which is not that chill. But a non-celeb dude with an ass tattoo def knows how to YOLO and is a great fuck buddy… just don’t try to get him to tat your name on his ass.

8. Hands/Feet

Buzzfeed

A guy who only tats up his feet or hand is kind of like the male equivalent of girls who have one tattoo (likely a quote or infinity sign) on their ribs. He’s the bro version of a basic bitch. Chances are he’ll try to explain a serious and profound meaning for the star on his foot, but in reality he just got it because all his friends were getting tatted and he was too much of a pussy to get a more visible one.

If he’s got a banging body and fruitful career like Zac Efron, you may be able to forgive him for his pathetic “YOLO” tattoo and just have him wear socks/gloves more than usual… but never forget that your boo is basic.

Why a Remake of the Spice Girls’‘Wannabe’ Is Going Viral

If social media was big back in the 90s, the Spice Girls would have been going viral af 24/7. In fact, a remake if one of their videos is going viral as we speak.

This morning, on the 20th anniversary of one of your favorite Spice Girls songs, “Wannabe,” Victoria Beckham shared a remake of the video from Project Everyone, on her Facebook page, and it’s now blowing up.

At the time of writing this article, the video had already been watched 6.9 million times on Victoria’s Facebook page alone, and had been shared 124,591 times.

But at the risk of sounding like an asshole (Project Everyone is a charity after all), why remake a classic Spice Girls song that was already perfect anyway?

As it turns out, it’s just another example of really smart marketing.

project_everyone_galore_mag

See, there’s nothing sexy about “The Global Goals” that Project Everyone is supporting.

In 2015, the world leaders at the UN General Assembly agreed on 17 global goals, ranging from eliminating poverty and world hunger to promoting gender equality and economic growth, and the whole purpose of The Global Goals is to make people actually care about this and hold all the world leaders accountable to their promise to work towards achieving these 17 goals.

Important? Yes.

Something anybody would try to get involved with besides sharing a link on Facebook? Ehhhh.

Trying to capitalize on the viral nature of the video, Project Everyone introduced the #WhatIReallyReallyWant movement, which thankfully is so simple that people might actually do it.

From now until September, Project Everyone invites people to use the hashtag #WhatIReallyReallyWant to share pictures of things that people really, really want, which will then be assembled into a dossier to hand to the world leaders at the next UN Global Summit.

We’re assuming they’ll filter out all of the thousands of pictures of giant piles of cash and hot shirtless men that assholes (like me) will undoubtably post on social media over the next couple of months.

Like we said, there’s a reason why Project Everyone built their entire PSA video around an incredibly popular throwback song.

It’s literally the only way they thought they could get people to pay attention long enough to get involved.

For her part, Victoria Beckham could not be more stoked about this “partnership,” if you can call it that.

“I think this film is a wonderful idea,” Beckham said in a statement. “How fabulous is it that after 20 years, the legacy of the Spice Girls’ ‘Girl Power’ is being used to encourage and empower a whole new generation.”

Pretty fucking fabulous, Posh.

Or that is, it will be pretty fucking fabulous assuming Project Everyone’s viral gamble actually pays off in the long run and we don’t all just forget about #WhatIReallyReallyWant within the next 24 hours.

Fingers crossed.

There’s a Hot New Conspiracy Theory About Taylor Swift & Tom Hiddleston

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s relationship is probably fake.

Or at least it is according to this theory, which maintains that Taylor and Tom are actually just shooting a series of music videos together, which is so out there that the majority of our staff could totally see it being true.

Allow me to walk you through it, because I can already FEEL your heads spinning backwards.

Point #1: It’s time for Taylor to come out with a new album

Every two years, Taylor Swift puts out an album.

“1989” came out in 2014, “Red” came out in 2012, “Speak Now” came out in 2010, and the list goes on and on.

As of yet, T Swift hasn’t announced anything official for 2016, which has people wondering if she isn’t planning a Beyonce-level surprise for all of us.

Like shooting an entire visual album that tells the story of her whirlwind romance with a totally fictional boyfriend.

Is your interest piqued yet?

Point #2: Taylor and Tom have spent the bulk of their “relationship” hanging out in scenic locations

They’ve gone to the beach, they’ve gone to Rome, they’ve gone to the beach again, but the one thing all their photo op destinations have in common is that they look like they could be stills taken out of sappy, romantic movies like “The Notebook” and other box office smashes adapted from the literary novels of Nicholas Sparks.

http://lost-in-taysland.tumblr.com/post/146876277218

Point #3: The same paparazzi company has been following Taylor and Tom around the world

Either this is one big coincidence, or they’re putting Goff Photos on the payroll to help convince everybody their relationship is real.

Point #4: Tom Hiddleston is an actor

This is a fact.

It’s also a fact that he’s currently being considered to play James Bond.

Could the publicity of being seen as a romantic, globe-trotting Romeo hurt his chances of snagging the role?

Nope.

Just like grabbing the attention of Taylor Swift’s considerable fan base wouldn’t hurt box office sales.

Point #5: There’s no other way that Tom Hiddleston wearing an “I <3 T.S.” shirt makes sense

Actually, we can’t really see this fashion choice making sense within the context of the video either, unless it occurs during the portion where we see Taylor wanting to move on and be with her friends, while her boyfriend is still hopelessly in love with her, desperate to try anything that might make her want to stay with him, which only makes Taylor realize that she really has to break up with him.

Point #6: Taylor has yet to Instagram a picture of the two of them together

Okay, so this point is my own, but if Taylor had really moved on, wouldn’t she have Instagrammed a picture of the two of them together yet?

Do you know how many photos she posted from her 4th of July party today? And so far, Tom Hiddleston isn’t in a single one of them.

Does that not strike you as a little curious? Especially taking into consideration that she announced her relationship with Calvin Harris at her 4th of July party last year?

Like, in what kind of world is your relationship serious enough to meet the parents, but not serious enough to post a picture on Instagram?

Really makes you think, doesn’t it?

Maybe this is a sign we should spend less time speculating over the romantic lives of celebrities.

Nah.

Who am I kidding?

The Off The Shoulder Shirt Trend Needs To Die

Every time I leave my Los Angeles apartment, I’ll see at least three women wearing off-the-shoulder shirts. I don’t hate the apparel for what it is, but I do find it problematic when everyone on planet earth looks exactly the same. That’s also why I’m not a racist.

I blame Kendall Jenner.

Even ManRepeller, the style blogger who’s probably responsible for the whole trend in the first place, knows it’s time to retire these tops.

Don’t know what vineyard living is like but know that posing in a vineyard is pretty similar to posing anywhere else

A photo posted by Leandra M !!!Cohen!!! (@leandramedine) on

She wrote an article — a whole two months ago! — entitled, “The Spark Is Gone: What Comes After The Off-The-Shoulder Shirt?”

In it, she unknowingly touches on one of the exact reasons I can’t stand this trend anymore.

“Lucille Ball, Brigitte Bardot, Natalie Wood and Grace Kelly — the original collarbone queens! These women collectively proved that a parenthetical swoop of fabric from shoulder to shoulder could magically make your décolletage look like the best thing since sliced Wonder Bread.”

They do look good on literally everyone.

Anyway, her article also offers a number of other options that all of us should consider, including some some one-shoulder numbers, bow-tie straps, and a return to long sleeve shirts.

You don’t need to wear stuff just because it looks good on you. Would you hook up with any guy, just based on the terms that he’d hook up with you? No, you wouldn’t.

Keep your off-the-shoulder shirt for special occasions, or for when people least expect you to bare your shoulders. Like when you babysit (jk)!

The Beginner’s Guide to Crystal Healing

crystal_healing_galore_7_5

We have no shame in carrying Garnet in our bra and Tiger’s Eye in our Levi’s. Here’s why.

Crystal healing has been traced back as far as ancient civilizations, but it recently made a major cultural comeback. Even celebrities have caught on to the trend — Kylie Jenner publicly displayed her interest in this holistic healing, Victoria & David Beckham have admitted to carrying Pink Quartz and Black Tourmaline with them for spiritual and superstitious support and sibling duo Willow and Jaden Smith even started their own indie crystal lab to create “vibe cleansing” gems.

To help further our insight on crystals and their healing properties, we spoke with spiritual consultant & energetic healer, Tatianna Tarot.

“Crystals, on the surface, are a compilation of rocks that may seemingly appear to have no personal affect on us but this is far from the truth,” she said. “These ‘stones’ each carry a particular frequency and attract a specific vibration that brings about a positive energetic result into our lives. Not one stone is the same and they can all be mixed for a variety of effects and functions.’

With that said, it’s essential to know which stone will cure your needs and stimulate your desires. Here’s the remedy.

Health & Well Being

Quartz enhances one’s well being by increasing and cleansing their energy. Specifically, Smokey Quartz helps rid negative energy including illness, pain and discomfort. Lithium Quartz reduces stress and tension.

Bloodstone can be used to boost self-esteem and life force energy, allowing you to be your most radiant self.

Love, Relationships, Passion & Sex

Garnet, known for being the stone of passion, can help align sexual power, love and lust. Garnet will enhance your attraction level — ultimately making you even more irresistible. It is also known to bring commitment to relationships.

Rose Quartz is said to contain ‘love-inducing’ properties. It is used to open the heart for attracting and healing love (within yourself as well as your relationship with others). Also, Rose Quartz is an aphrodisiac; it stimulates sensuality.

Tip: place these stones in your bra for even more steamy juju. Tatianna explains that “crystals work best with direct skin contact” and she “find the effects of wearing them directly on me to be extremely helpful.”

Inner Peace, Clarity & Contentment

Turquoise induces inner peace, calmness and a sense of security within yourself. It also reduces anxiety, self doubt and helps prevent panic attacks, exhaustion and depression.

Lepidolite aids in healing depression, emotional discomfort and major mental health issues (i.e. addictions, traumas, phobias, rage) by triggering a feeling of relaxation and self acceptance. Also, it’s said to initiate synchronicities (those things that happen that seem too relevant to just be coincidence). These occurrences can help bring meaning and clarity to the unknown.  

Angelite nurtures peace, awareness/realization and balance within one’s life. It helps bring clarity and contentment.

Prosperity, Abundance & Success

Citrine is ideal for generating abundance into your life in the form of success and prosperity. Citrine is believed to guide manifesting your desires, increase will power and bring upon unexpected luck. Additionally, it can be used to help remove fear and obstacles that may come in the way of your success.

Tiger’s Eye is known for focusing the minds and energizing intentions. Tiger’s Eye also provokes inner talent and charm to shine through. This mixture can help one accomplish their dreams.

And now a word from Spencer…

It’s no secret that “The Hills” star Spencer Pratt loves himself positive energy. We had to know his secret to being so damn vivacious (honestly if we can get even half way on his energy level, we’d be more than happy) so we asked him to weigh in for this story.

“I’ve already had five espressos this morning so I have more than enough energy,” he said. Got it. One Pratt approved espresso coming our way.

But if Spencer ever needs a boost, he consults crystals — primarily Rose Quartz and Kunzite, which are “love-inducing” stones. These crystals are used to open your heart and attract love into all areas of your life. When he wants to amp up his vibe, he reaches for his go-to high frequency rocks such as Moldavite and Phenakite. These stones are only used for when he is feeling really dynamic.

He’s “convinced that if you cover your body in crystals, there’s going to be some wild energy.” This is why Spencer rarely wears crystals outside the house — that and “[he] already walks around with tie-dye shirts so crystals all over [him] would be a little much.”

“But in a world with no judgements,” he said, “I would totally rock a crystal crown but I try to be low key.” Spence suggests you start slow and chill — once you get start with crystals, it can become highly addictive (not to mention expensive, he advises you purchase from a wholesale retailer) and “take you down the rabbit hole.”

Lastly, like many others, Spencer simply uses crystal healing as a spiritual practice. “If you are into love, you are into love.” Simple as that.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Spence.

One of Hip Hop’s Biggest F*ckboys Came Up With the Best Line in ‘Formation’

beyonce_formation_true_story_galore_mag

No matter what your feelings about Beyoncé’s Lemonade are (which probably range from positive to gut-wrenchingly positive), we all love “Formation.”

But did you know that “Formation” was written in maybe the most random way ever? And that it’s most iconic line was written by one half of noted fuckboy duo Rae Sremmurd?

In an interview with The New Yorker, you know, that magazine adults who like to seem smart always complain about not being able to finish, producer Mike Will Made-It recounted the entire saga of putting Bey’s hit together.

Surprisingly, it started at Coachella when a 21-year-old boy just so happened to say, “Okay ladies, now let’s get in formation.”

That 21-year-old boy’s name is Sae Lee, a.k.a. one of those Rae Sremmurd boys who rap about unlocking the swag and being “up like Trump.”

At the time Mike Well remembers thinking, “Dog, we got to do that ‘get in formation’ shit. That could be a hard song for the ladies. Some woman-empowerment shit. Like, ‘Ladies, let’s get in line, let’s not just fall for anything.”

Then, after Mike Will and Beyoncé just so happened to cross paths at a HOTEL PARTY, she fell in love with the female empowerment message he was selling, and after a week in the studio together, a hit was born.

“She takes ideas and puts them with her own ideas, and makes this masterpiece. She’s all about collaborating. Thats what makes her Beyonce,” Will elucidated. “Being able to know what she wants. A lot of people don’t know what they want. To the point where you can bring them some hot shit, and they’re like, “This shit ain’t it. I need a hit, bro.” And I’m like, “Man, this is a hit. If you don’t like this line or that line, you should take this line out and put your own lines in there, and we doctor it up.” Some people want it cooked. They just want to put a little icing on it and bite it. But it’s really a process to make one of these great songs. It’s layers. Layers and layers and layers.”

Read the entire thing here, or just go back and listen to the song with the knowledge that the most iconic part of the chorus was written by a 21-year-old goofing off at Coachella.

7 Terrible Fashion Sins Guys Will Definitely Commit This Summer

swim_sins_guys_galore

In case you weren’t aware, straight guys aren’t exactly the most fashion savvy group out there. While there are certainly exceptions to this rule, the majority of dudes look like total idiots when they try to put together their own look without the help of a salesperson or their mom.

You’d think that dressing for the summertime would be easy enough, after all, how can you go wrong with a pair of swim trunks? But guys have still managed to fuck this one up. Send this list to your boo who’s still rocking drawstring board shorts like it’s the 90s or wearing flip-flops to the bar.

1. Boxers Under Board-shorts

Mens Wear Review

After reading this Hypebeast forum asking dudes whether they go commando or not under their trunks, I realized something important about guys who wear boxers to the beach, and it’s that they probably have little dicks. Seriously, a guy admitted it.

Not only do guys who wear boxers under their swim trunks look like idiots, but they are also trying to cover up their tiny junk. Just like pre-teen girls with smaller boobs opt for padded bikini tops, guys with a small package apparently wear boxers to hide the outline of their small dick from showing through their thin swimsuit.

Another dude said that he wore boxers because he gets “too much attention” from girls when they see the big outline of his dick, which is fair, I guess. After going to the beach with my BF and my family this weekend he had the same concerns about his dick. But c’mon, it’s the fucking beach. Girls’ nipples are out half the time and so are their pubes unless they’re a perfectly waxed VS model. The golden rule is this: guys can make up for having a small dick, but they can’t make up for wearing boxers to the beach.

2. Capri Swim Trunks

Contrary to popular male belief, it’s no longer trendy to wear the drawstring-waist, below-the-knee style shorts of the early 2000s. You look like you’re wearing gaucho pants. You also are making yourself look way shorter and stumpier and chode-like, which really isn’t a good look for anyone. If you had to choose on extreme for your beach wear, I’d say Speedos still trump these long-ass board short things that should’ve been burned along with trucker caps.

3. This

E!

Okay, we’re pretty sure these two British reality stars are only rocking these asymmetrical thongs by Inderwear because they were paid to, but you never know when some buff party boy is going to lose a bet and have to wear one of these to your local pool. If not one of these, perhaps it’s a Borat suit. Either way, it’ll prob make you disgusted and slightly turned on at the same time.

4. Flip Flops Anywhere But The Beach

Just Jared

Now that we’re done with barely there denim-skirts and bedazzled wife beaters, flip-flops have also been past their glory days for some time. While women like Jennifer Aniston can still occasionally get away with it, guys absolutely cannot.

Seriously, the only place a guy should ever wear flip-flops is the beach. Seeing a guy’s nasty, hairy toes with a thong wedged between them is a sight that we women can only truly handle when obscured by sand and the smell of the nearby ocean.

5. The Farmer’s Tan

What is it with dudes’ aversion to sunblock? I know it’s not “manly” to stock any sort of lotion in your apartment, let alone rub it on your body constantly; but do guys realize how dumb they look with a farmer’s tan or even worse, a farmer’s burn?

DILF Marky Mark is only a slight offender considering his farmer’s tan isn’t too horrible and his pectoral muscles make up for it, but not all non-celebs are as lucky as Wahlberg.

6. Swimming In a Shirt

Guys expect chicks to bare it all in tiny bikinis on the beach, so why do guys think it’s okay when they hide their dad-bods under a T-shirt while not only on the beach, but in the water?

Sorry dudes, but your now see-through T-shirt isn’t hiding much, and you’re only drawing more attention to your non-toned body. If you’re that self-conscious about your beer belly, go to the gym.

FYI, we’re aware that Tom Hiddleston actually has a nice body, so we’re not sure why he’s rocking this “I <3 T.S.” tank in the ocean, but we’re thinking it could be part of the Hiddleswift conspiracy.

7. Bonus: Wearing Boxers Instead Of Swim Trunks

Guys who wear boxers under their swim trunks are serious fashion offenders, but what about dudes who want to be like Justin Bieber and wear boxers instead of swim trunks? We hope Biebz didn’t start a trend, because we really don’t need to see guys in see-through tighty-whities all summer, and Beliebers on the beach aren’t getting paid to rock CK like Justin is. See more photos of Biebz in his undaroos while wake-boarding here.

6 Booty Workouts You Can Do In Your Bedroom

Back when boobs were the center of attention, it was easy for every high schooler to spend $60 on a Victoria’s Secret push up bra.

But now that pop culture is all about the booty, it’s much less socially acceptable to wear push-up underwear (although, they do exist).

Instead, we have to actually work for a perky butt. But, you don’t have to tackle the intimidating-looking squat rack or even leave your house to get a quick booty workout in.

We got Karena of Katrina of Tone It Up to show us some awesomely effective lower body workouts that you can do without leaving your home. All you need is a mat and some dumbbells. Karena and Katrina recommend doing the routine 2-3 times for “maximum booty lifting and toning.”

1. Plank Leg Lifts

What it does: Tightens your booty, hamstrings, shoulders, and core!
How to do it: Begin in a plank position with your hands directly below your shoulders and core engaged. Lift your right leg into the air, squeezing your booty. Slowly lower back down. Complete 20 reps then switch sides.

2. Laying Hip Abduction


What it does: Sculpts your outer thigh, booty, and obliques!
How to do it: Begin laying on your left side with your left hand supporting your head, right leg straight, left bent behind you. Slowly raise your right leg directly into the air so that its in line with your body. Lower back down. Complete 20 reps then switch sides.

3. Back Lunge + Shoulder Raise


What it does: Tones your shoulders, quads, arms, and booty!
How to do it: Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet together, arms down, dumbbell in front of your hips. Step your right leg back and lower down into a lunge. Make sure your knee doesn’t go past your toes. As you step into the lunge, raise your arms straight in front of you until they are parallel to the ground. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows. Return to start. Alternate legs with each rep. Complete 20 total reps, 10 per side.

4. Deadlift + Upright Row


What it does: Tones your booty, hamstrings, shoulders and upper back
How to do it: Begin standing with your feet hip-width apart and a slight bend in your knees. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms down, weights in front of your hips. Hinge from the hips and lower your chest and arms down, tracking the weights past your shins. Make sure your toes don’t go past your knees. Reverse the move to return to standing. From here lift the weights up to your chest with your elbows out. Lower back down. Complete 15 reps.

5. Knee to Ankle Taps


What it does: Tones your outer booty. You’ll really feel the burn with this one!
How to do it: Lay on your right side with your right hand supporting your head and bend both your knees. With your knees still bent Lift your left leg and tap your heel to your right heel. From here, lift your leg again and tap your left knee to your right leg. That’s one rep. Complete 15 reps then switch sides.

6. Side Lunge + Twist


What it does:Tones your booty, hip flexors, quads and obliques.
How to do it: Begin in a lunge with both feet facing forward, your left leg bent and right leg straight. Make sure your knees don’t go past your toes. Push off your left leg to a standing position, lift your left knee and twist your torso to have your right elbow meet your left knee. Slowly lower back down to a lunge. Complete 15 reps, then switch sides.

Britney, Selena Gomez and J Lo Recorded a Cheesy/Moving Song For Orlando

Star-fueled charity singles are always equal parts beautiful and Cheez Whiz, and “Hands,” whose proceeds will go towards raising money for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, is no exception.

The song features Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Mary J. Blige, RuPaul, and a bunch of minor music celebrities, who all got together to record one song with a very important goal.

And by they all got together, what we actually mean is, they all holed up in different recording studios around the world and sent their tracks in to one person.

“Mary J. Blige recorded in New Orleans. Britney Spears in Thousand Oaks, I think. Pink in Santa Barbara,” Justin Tranter, who co-wrote recalls. “Selena recorded in her studio bus… everyone just got it done.”

According to an interview Tranter gave with Billboard, the song came together in less than 48 hours after the shooting.

Tranter had been on the road with his songwriting partner when news broke of the tragedy, and that afternoon he signed up to volunteer in Orlando.

“I called them up and said, ‘If I fly up is there something for me to help with?'”

Their response?

“We need all the hands we can possibly get.”

And lo and behold, an idea for a song was born.

Even though “Hands” isn’t the kind of song you’d ever want to add to any playlist, it’s at least worth a listen, if only for the five seconds at the end when RuPaul says, “Take my hand, baby. Everybody say love.”

Even the hardest of hearts will melt a little.

Study: Yes, Potential Baes Are Judging You By Your TV Preferences

When you’re on a first date, specifically a first Tinder date, there are only so many things you can talk about before crossing the line.

Generally it starts with the basics: your career, where you live, where you went to college, etc. Then, it shifts to your “hobbies.” Do you play sports? What do you do when you’re not working? What shows do you watch?

When I was a dating app aficionado, I always immediately killed my poor Tinder date’s innocent TV question by answering, “Oh, I don’t really watch TV.” He’d then correct himself, thinking I misunderstood, and said “Oh yeah, me neither. I meant Netflix, I watch Breaking Bad and Bloodline.

Then I had to ruin all of his Netflix and chill dreams by admitting that I don’t watch shows on Netflix either. Apparently, that may have been why I never found a relationship through dating apps, according to a new study.

About 30% of single millennials have chosen not to date someone based on their TV viewing preferences, according to the study, conducted by Xfinity.

You’re already worrying about wearing the right outfit, or saying the right things, or making sure you don’t seem to prude or too slutty; but now you also have to worry about if your date is judging you for the fact that you watch re-runs of Gossip Girl from 2006 instead of “Orange Is The New Black.”

Just kidding, I mean, you can worry about it if you want to. But honestly, not having the same TV preferences doesn’t seem like the worst thing. It only means that instead of sitting on the couch and watching TV and snuggling like every other boring couple, you guys will actually be forced to go outside and do things!

Seriously, 75% of millennial couples say watching TV together has strengthened their relationship according to the same study. I guess that’s good news for those of you who Netflix and chill, but it’s also kind of pathetic. Perhaps it’s because we’re all broke and can’t afford real dates anymore? Or maybe we’re just lazy.

Either way, if your date really cares that much about the fact that you don’t love watching “Ray Donovan” with him, he might not be the right guy for you anyway. Besides, isn’t the whole point of Netflix and chilling that you don’t actually watch TV?

Rebel Wilson Says She Felt Like She Had To Gain Weight To Get Famous

Whenever a star is born in Hollywood, it only takes a second before the plastic surgery and diet rumors start flying around, but Rebel Wilson made a name by doing the opposite.

Instead, of losing weight to get famous, Rebel Wislon says she actually gained weight.

See, before Rebel Wilson was famous, she describes her build as “athletic.” In a new interview with The Daily Telegraph, she reveals she had strong arms, and legs built for running around a tennis court, but she wasn’t “particularly fat.”

And then, one day while she was doing a play that she wrote in Australia, Wilson cast herself opposite a woman who was just a bit heavier than she was, and had an epiphany.

“Oh. That girl’s getting a lot of laughs, a lot easier than me,” Wilson recalls. “Why is it? Because I don’t think there’s much difference in talent. And I remember distinctly thinking: ‘I think it’s because she’s fatter.’ And then, I don’t know if it was mega-conscious, but I thought: ‘How can I get more laughs? Maybe if I was a bit fatter….’ And then suddenly I was fatter, and doing comedy.”

While on the one hand, it’s empowering to hear a woman offer an alternative to round-the-clock dieting and brutal sessions at the gym, it’s also disheartening because at the end of the day, Rebel Wilson still felt she needed to change herself in order to make it.

And the sad thing is, she’s probably right.

I remember being told in an audition class back in college, that if you’re ever struggling with your weight, you should either make a decision to lose 10 pounds or gain 10 pounds, because it’s much just easier to get cast that way.

Which is fucked up, but then again, very Hollywood.

It’s an inconvenient truth that in comedy, a person’s fatness is often used as its own joke, and if you’ve seen Pitch Perfect, you know that Wilson plays a character whose name is literally Fat Amy.

We just can’t win, can we?

Yesterday, Margot Robbie achieved a pinnacle of success, loosely referred to as “bosshood.”

Allow me to explain.

At the London premiere of Robbie’s new movie most of you probably have zero intention of seeing, The Legend of Tarzan, she decided to wear a stunning cream and black patterned Miu Miu dress with a high slit, an open back and sheer paneling.

Spoiler alert: she looked amazing.

But then, something unfortunate happened.

Her dress came undone, leaving her inches away from a SERIOUS wardrobe malfunction.

But instead of freaking the fuck out about it, or shyly clutching her breasts as she demurely walked off the red carpet, Margot Robbie simply nodded* at her handsome co-star, Alexander Skarsgard, and he immediately appeared behind her to button her back up.

Seriously, from now on, whenever anybody asks me the standard icebreaker question, “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?,” I’m answering: the power to make hot guys do my bidding.
