Chrissy Teigen can't stop using the Snapchat coconut bra filter.

What Oprah is to bread, Chrissy Teigen is to coconut-related products and/or Snapchat filters.

Teigen took to Snapchat on Wednesday to announce her new partnership with Vita Coco Coconut Oil, among other coconut-related shenanigans (like posing topless). First came the announcement...

Complete with a li'l cross-promotional product placement...

The Snapchat coconut takeover quickly moved to a coconut-related topless snap. Well, a sort-of topless snap. Does a filter count as clothing?

She even served food topless in a filter.

And provided proof that sometimes pet owners do start to look like their pets.

Teigen even showed that you can shave with coconut oil. Wait, is this true? I'll get back to you on that.

OK, I just googled it. Yes, you can shave with coconut oil! Who knew?

Olympic athlete explains why she's sick of being told she's 'too pretty to wrestle.'

Reigning world champion, three-time gold medal female wrestler Adeline Gray has a problem. "I absolutely hate the statement 'You're too pretty to wrestle,'" the 25-year-old told ESPNMagazine in their annual body issue. What followed in the interview is Gray, a current member of the 2016 United States Olympic team, proving how badass she is and that she's an inspiration for every woman that feels marginalized.

Gray told the magazine:

I'm a three-time champion and should, in my eyes, be kind of all over the place. But there are still people who are like, 'I didn't even know you guys were in the Olympics.' Yep, we are.

And:

I think people used to view female athletes as very butch, masculine—you kind of had to disregard your femininity to excel at an elite sport. Now it's just a different world.

And then broke it down:

When I talk to young girls, I tell them you can have the best of both worlds. You are allowed to be a female and be considered beautiful and still be an athlete and still be badass in that realm.

She also spoke to the importance of finding the weight that works for you:

There's definitely something to be said about wrestling at your natural weight... Everyone is so focused on losing weight—​your body likes to fit within a certain range, and if you force it to go one way or the other, it's difficult.​

Finally, she dropped the mic with this:

I want to impart some dreams to young girls who haven't had opportunities in the past. Boys really have a leg up on us because they have these professional leagues that they can dream about. So if I can be like Serena Williams or like some of these main stars out there who are being iconic and groundbreaking and are role models for this next generation, it would be an honor and a blessing.

You can read the entire interview here. Someone give Gray another gold medal: for winning at life.

Emily Ratajkowski claps back at Piers Morgan's sexist tweet about her horse photo.

Piers Morgan is proving, yet again, that's he's a human dud. Remember when he shammed Beyonce? Oh and that time with Ellen DeGeneres! Who could forget the Susan Sarandon one? He deserves a prize for his long track record of attention-seeking online sexism.

This time, he went after model, actress, and activist Emily Ratajkowski. On Thursday, Ratajkowski tweeted a professional and artistic pic taken to accompany a profile of her in Harper's Bazaar.

Because Morgan is the ultimate sexist fuddy duddy, he felt compelled to shame her.

But then Ratajkowski replied by tweeting what's literally obvious to everybody about Morgan.

Basically:

Teen finds a uniquely thrilling way to come out to her family.

This is Gina. She's a 16-year-old who lives in California. She told BuzzFeed News that she'd known she was gay for about a year, but hadn't figured out a way to tell her family yet. She explained, "I am not the type of person to have a deep, sit-down conversation, so I wanted to tell them in a lighthearted and fun way." So she decided to go with the ol' "funny ride photo." Classic.

On a trip to Disneyland, she rode Splash Mountain with her mom, and at the end of the ride, when the picture is taken of the flume making the big descent, she held up sign written in rainbow colored letters that read, "I'm gay!"

When her mother saw the picture, she sent it to Gina's dad and brother. Her family reaction to her announcement was "so positive." Apparently her dad and brother were already "70% sure I was gay," but her mother had no idea. Gina knew her family would be supportive and accepting—otherwise she probably would've gone with a slightly more subtle approach.

Gina also posted the picture on Twitter, where it's been retweeted almost 6,000 times since June 20. She told BuzzFeed:

I never expected it to blow up like this. This Twitter account was just my spam account where I posted random fangirl stuff but I decided it couldn’t hurt to post it and the result was absolutely amazing. . . People have responded saying I’ve inspired them to do the same thing, which I think is the coolest part of it all.

Looks like her sign really (waaaait for it) MADE A SPLASH (nailed it!). Good job, Gina!

Yes, you can get addicted to sugar. Here's how to figure out if you have a sweet problem.

If you've ever cried into a bar of chocolate or sprayed a box of Oreos with Windex to keep from eating them, you might have a sugar problem. Sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine, according to one scientific study. Maybe that's why you always hear people say "I can't keep cookies in the house" but rarely "I can't keep cocaine in the house."

Much like other white powders with more street cred, when sugar hits your bloodstream, it stimulates your brain's pleasure center, releasing dopamine, as this article in the The Daily Mail explains. Dopamine is that crazy chemical that makes you feel anywhere between "good" and "a golden god who can feel no sadness or pain."

But just as quickly as these chemicals spike, they fall. So by the time you've scraped the sides clean of your pint of Ben & Jerry's, you're going through a mini sugar withdrawal. This can trigger a craving for more. And so begins a vicious cycle that is not so different from the vicious cycle that drug addicts and alcoholics go through.

Think you might be addicted? The Daily Mail has published a helpful (read: life-ruining) quiz with fifteen yes-or-no questions, including: "Do you ever eat sweets when you are feeling sad or upset?"and "Do you plan to eat a small portion, i.e. 'one serving' of ice cream, but then end up binging on the whole pint?" (If you answered: "duhhh" and "I thought a pint WAS one serving!" you may have a problem. But take the whole quiz to find out.)

If you have ever cried into a chocolate bar, you may be a sugar addict.

If if turns out you're addicted, the good news is you're not alone. Sugar addiction is super common. To break the vicious cycle, experts recommend going cold turkey. And that includes cutting out fake sweeteners and diet drinks, which actually boost sugar cravings.

You may experience withdrawal symptoms, like headaches, tiredness, and foggy vision, but those should pass in a few days. And then? Congratulations. You now have a boring, sugar-free life.

The best cities to use as the backdrop for your Tinder fairytale.

It's no secret that Tinder makes dreams come true. One of the newest features of Tinder Plus (the version you have to pay for) is called Passport. It allows you to scope out potential dates in cities you're going to visit before you actually get there. Today, the app released a list of the most-swiped Passport destinations around the world. We've taken the liberty of imagining how your fairytale Tinder romance would go down in a few of the cities that made the list's top 15.

London

It's raining. You meet up with a strapping young gent for a cup of tea. He doesn't seem as interested in talking about the Queen's corgis as you are, but who cares? He has a cute accent. You kiss him in the shadows of Big Ben, and then make your way to a quaint little pub, where you get to second base with him in the bathroom (or "the loo," as he calls it). Later, "God Save The Queen" plays softly in the background as you say goodnight outside. "Cheers," he whispers. Then you part ways, never to see each other again.

New York

A dapper young finance bro takes you to an overly crowded bar in the East Village where you can't hear anything he's saying. You get super drunk on the gin and tonics he keeps buying you, and pretend to hear every word. Later, in an ultimate gesture of New York love, he buys you two dollar slices and a can of Diet Coke on the way back to his place. You wake up in his apartment in a luxury building overlooking the East River and think to yourself, "He's my age, right? How does he afford this?" You order yourself a $35 Uber to get to the airport in time for your flight home. On your way out, you leave a note on his dresser that says, "Thanks for the pizza," and pray that you don't run into his roommate on the way out.

Paris

Ah, the most romantic city in the world. Swiping right on the handsome Frenchman seemed like such a good idea a few days ago, but now you realize that he speaks no English, and all you can remember from high school French class is how to say, "Hello" and "Where is the restroom?" He buys you a glass of wine at a cafe. The two of you sit in awkward silence, literally unable to communicate with each other. Eventually, you somehow mutually agree to get up and go for a stroll along the Seine. As you pass the Eiffel Tower, you get separated and a sea of tourists carries him away from you forever. Not all Tinder fairytales can have happy endings.

Los Angeles

You swipe right on a mustachioed aspiring screenwriter. He picks you up at your hotel in Santa Monica and insists on driving you to a pretentious coffee shop in Silverlake that has, in his words, "the best Nitro cold brew on the West Coast." There's construction on the 405 so you sit in standstill traffic for two hours, stuck in the car while he explains why Back To The Future is just a tad too mainstream for his tastes. You finally arrive at the coffee shop. Though by now you've grown to hate him, you figure, "Eh, what the hell. He might be famous one day," and make out with him in the parking lot.

None of these sound good to you? Not to worry. Tinder Plus's other top Passport cities include Barcelona, Dublin, Berlin, Sydney and Stockholm. Pick one! No matter where in the world you travel, Tinder can help all your casual hookup dreams come true. Your fairytale is just a swipe away.


No one should be surprised whose bikini body was voted the best of all time.

In honor of the 70th anniversary of the bikini, Swimwear 365 commissioned a survey of 2,000 women to find out who was the "hottest bikini babe" of all time. Shockingly, none of the top three rocked an ab crack.

Cool cool cool.

These brave 2,000 women chose as their winner someone who could make any woman's sexuality fluid: Raquel Welch.

I might be a lesbian!

Welch became an instant star when she wore that fur bikini in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C. Ray Harryhausen​, the man who created the dinosaur puppets for the film, has said that while Welch was on set, she would take her nail scissors to cut her bikini even shorter. Thanks, girl.

The runners-up to Welch were also classic movie icons. The number two spot went to Ursula Andress, who wore a knife bikini in James Bond's Dr. No.

More like Dr. Yes, amirite?

Andress famously emerges from the water singing like a darling before pulling her knife on dude like a bad-ass. This scene was later recreated by Halle Berry in Die Another Day, but in orange, 'cause a girl has to make a look her own.

Shit, for this look she at least deserves a mention.

In third place we have the woman whose hourglass could stop time, one of the most classic babes, Marilyn Monroe.

Don't be shy; you're a star!

​Other top 10 winners included Kelly Brook, Michelle Keegan, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez, but none of our modern stars could crack that top three. Congratulations, Raquel, its been fifty years and no thigh-gap, ab-crack, paper-waist model has been able to dethrone you.

And to the rest of ya'll, you're all beautiful and I love you. First to DM bikini pics wins the even more prestigious Myka Fox Might Become a Lesbian Bikini Babe Award.

Ashley Graham wasn't too happy about Amy Schumer's plus size comments. Schumer responded.

Ashley Graham has been everywhere lately (in a Christian Louboutin campaign, in the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and in a Joe Jonas music video, just to name a few) and come August, she'll be on the cover of Cosmopolitan.

In an interview with the magazine, Graham, 28, talks about why she doesn't like the term plus-size, about being in a relationship with an abusive alcoholic (not now, but in the past), and about how she felt when Amy Schumer protested being added to a list of "inspiring" plus-size women (which also included Melissa McCartney, Adele, and Ashley Graham) featured on the cover ofGlamour's "Chic At Any Size" issue in April.

Schumer, 35, obviously has nothing but admiration and respect for the women on the list, who do fall into the "plus-size" category (which in the U.S. is technically size 12 and up) but she took umbrage at being included in that list, because Schumer is actually a size 6 or 8. She wondered what implications there would be for a young girl to see someone her size and think that that's a "plus-size" body. The magazine admitted its error and apologized. Graham talked to Cosmo about her thoughts on the matter and why she found it a little hypocritical.

I can see both sides, but Amy talks about being a big girl in the industry. You thrive on being a big girl, but when you're grouped in with us, you're not happy about it? That, to me, felt like a double standard.

Schumer responded quickly (via tweet) once word of the interview hit the streets (internet).

So there it is. Kind of a roundabout response, and not really addressing Graham's point, but it's a nice thing to say and at least she cared enough to say it. And in the end, both women are talented and gorgeous and that's what really matters, right?

Mischa Barton reflects on why black lives matter from a yacht in the French Riviera.

Mischa Barton decided to join the social media conversation regarding the shooting of Alton Sterling, who died after being shot by Baton Rouge police late Tuesday. In an Instagram post she has since removed, she took time to reflect on the tragic loss of Sterling, and went on to encourage others to take action and elect a president who can help bring about change. She also included a photo of her thoughtful reflection, in which she's on a yacht in the French Riviera, daintily holding a glass of booze. Basically, she used a picture that looks like an ad for Ralph Lauren.

Here's the photo:

The sea was angry that day, and so was the internet after she posted this:

I'm truly heart broken to watch videos like the #altonsterling execution. This may have been going on forever in the United States but thank god the pigs get caught on camera now. Its unthinkable and an embarrassment to America. The country I was brought up in. Somebody make change. We need gun control and unity. And a real President so think about that when this election is around the corner. The world is a precarious place right now.#stop #reflect and #act appropriately.

The flood of negative comments she received on her Instagram post probably almost sunk that yacht she was on. They disappeared along with her post when she removed it, but the top response says it all:

Like the sentiment, but hard to take you seriously while you post a picture of you sipping alcohol on a yacht....

The world is a "precarious place right now," so to "act appropriately" probably includes not making posts like this from the French Riviera.

Lonnie Turner has no problem with self-esteem, or with getting women to like him—he's apparently got both a wife and a mistress. What he does have a problem with, unfortunately, is getting those ladies to not hate each other. What's a guy to do, right?

🤓 These two better learn to get along. I work extremely hard, and I think I deserve to have everything my little heart...

Posted by Lonnie Turner on Friday, June 24, 2016

On June 24, Turner wrote about his situation on Facebook, including pictures of both women, and his post started to get some attention, having been shared almost 1,500 times.

Here's what he wrote:

These two better learn to get along. I work extremely hard, and I think I deserve to have everything my little heart desires. Why have a cake & can't eat it??? I want multiple cakes‼️ #Wife #Chic #BestOfBothWorlds

There was also that little "100" emoji at the end of his post, but it seems like maybe his situation is more of a 70, 75 tops. The comments on his post reflected that, basically ranging from "lol" to "huh??" to "oh no he didn't."

This prompted Lonnie to write a couple of comments of his own:

The main question here, out of all the important questions, is: what's with the leftover taco meat and soup? Is that a euphemism? A single woman thing? A minor stroke?

The other big question is: what now, ladies? The #choice seems to be yours. No matter what you decide, seems like ol' Lonnie is still going to be 100.

Jesse Puryear recently proposed to his girlfriend while white water rafting on the Ocoee River in Tennessee. He nearly lost the ring, if that's not already obvious, and the entire emotional roller coaster was caught on camera. The ring had been originally secured to his life vest, but he was still holding onto it after he popped the question, and then they went through a monster rapid. There's probably a metaphor in there somewhere for engagements or marriage:

Good thing she said yes after that ring almost disappeared into class IV rapids.

21 questions I had about this tween girl's wild revenge video after the 21st time I saw it.

The TV Guide description for this 10 second video, which we bravely covered yesterday, would be "sassy tween takes revenge on dumb ex." But that is underselling it. It deserves Oscars. It's perfect. It's the Citizen Kane of 10 second videos, and if you disagree, you're probably a Ryan.

It is the only thing I've ever loved on the internet, and here are 21 questions I have about it.

1. Are "Ryans" the male "Beckys?"

2. Did Ryan get that bracelet from a quarter machine?

3. Or did he buy that bracelet in bulk, maybe wholesale? Like he has a bag of bracelets at home that he hands out to all his ladies?

4. Ryan definitely wears a puka shell necklace, right?

5. Whose house is that that she throws it toward? Is it Ryan's? Her duplicitous best friend's?

6. Who's filming this? That is some steady camera movement.

7. How much do you want to bet she goes back to that yard and picks up the bracelet later?

8. Do you think Ryan straight up told her that he wanted to date her friend when they broke up and that's how she knows all this?

9. How soon can we all start saying "Have fun with her, Ryan" as a catchphrase for when we want to be spectacularly dismissive?

10. Is "Have fun with her, Ryan" better than "Bye, Felicia"?

11. How long will Ryan stay with her best friend until he moves onto his next victim?

12. Do you think her best friend finds this bracelet and then pretends Ryan gave it to her?

13. How long until the intern that runs Hillary Clinton's Twitter tweets "Have fun with her, Ryan" at, like, Paul Ryan?

14. When she does, will you fave?

15. Will this girl parlay her inevitable appearance on Ellen into a tween singing career/Disney channel contract?

16. Like do you think there's some gross executive salivating now over the prospect of making this girl into a tween Meghan Trainor?

17. Ryan dumped her via text message, didn't he?

18. Wait, is there a stream behind those bushes? Was she throwing this thing into water?

19. If she was throwing the bracelet into water, does that make more sense?

20. Do you think this actually managed to hurt Ryan's feelings?

21. What Zayn song is helping her get over this breakup?


Ever wondered what taking LSD on a plane would be like? Because it's not good.

$

Did you know that if you have leftover drugs at the end of your vacation, a good option is to throw them away? This dude on Reddit didn't!

This isn't Charlie Sheen's story, but then again, its an anonymous dude on the internet, so maybe.

This guy took an LSD-addled flight across the Pacific because he figured the best way to smuggle drugs onto a plane is by eating all of them. Fortunately, he lived to tell the story, which seems inevitable now because, as we will learn, all of life's possibilities are happening at once. This isn't just a story about a thrifty burnout, it's about a man whose whole value system was altered after getting some much needed Lasik on his third eye.

I was flying home across the Pacific and didn't want to smuggle drugs through the airport. I also didn't have the heart to just throw away a couple of really strong tabs I had gotten on my vacation. So I decided to take them all before going through the airport security, figuring it would kick in pretty nicely in time for the flight. It did.

At first I was just lying with my face down seeing pretty things inside my eyelids. Women, music, wonderful colors. It was a blast. Then I felt as something was ontop of me, so I opened my eyes. And there was a very old lady on top of me, apparently I had sort of dozed off and not noticed that the lady on the right of me had to pee so she had to climb over me and sort of got stuck over me. That's when things started going south.

Anyone who has done psychedelics knows exactly what this means.

I realized a commercial airliner is an extremely irresponsible place to do recreational drugs---what if there's a turmoil in the plane? As a healthy male, you need to be able to able to support women and children on the plane. But there I was sitting, just tripping cause I couldn't be arsed to sit through a boring 12h flight.

Forget helping other people, isn't it enough that tripping balls while a plane is crashing would be scary as hell?

So I had what you call "sonder", a moment of clarity where I realized that I wasn't the center of the universe, that everyone is just as important as me, everyone has loved ones, stories of lost love etc, they're the main character in their own movies.

That's when shit went quantum. All these stories begun sinking in to me. It was as if I was beginning to experience their stories simultaneously. And not just their stories, I began seeing the story of everyone I had ever met in my entire life flash before my eyes. And in this quantum experience, there was a voice that said something about Karma. The voice told me that the plane will crash and that I will be reborn again until the quota of my Karma is at -+0. So, for every ill deed I have done, I would have an ill deed committed to me. For every cheap T-shirt I purchased in my previous life, I would live the life of the poor Asian sweatshop worker sewing that T-shirt. For every hooker I fucked, I would live the life of a fucked hooker.

If everyone who ever had sex with a hooker became a hooker in another life, the world would become a hooker-only planet. And then we would finally experience world peace.

And it was as if thousands of versions of me was experiencing this moment. It is hard to explain, but in every situation where something could happen, both things happened and I experienced both timelines simultaneously. As I opened my eyes, I noticed how smoke was coming out of the top cabins in the plane. Luggage was falling out. I experienced the airplane crashing a thousand times, and I died and accepted death a thousand times, apologizing to the Karma God for my sins. There was a flash of the brightest white light imagineable and the thousand realities in which I died began fading off. Remaining was only one reality in which the crash didn't happen. Where I was still sitting in the plane. I could still see the smoke coming out of the plane and as a air stewardess came walking by I asked her if everything was alright. She said "Yes, is everything alright with YOU?"

And I thought about if I was alright for a moment and realized that yes, I am infact all right, I am alive, but I needed to take a horrible horrible shit.

Ah, the moral of the story presents itself. With the mind's greatest awareness comes the colon's greatest shit.

It was like a demon inside of me who was causing me to hallucinate all this Karma bullshit. So I made my way to the airplane toilet where I shat the nastiest diarrhea shit I ever shat, took several hours. I knew it was either me or the shit---either it would destroy me or I would destroy it. I finally got the shit out and flushed it down those airplane toilets that just suck the shit out into nothingness.

Then I felt alot better and got back to my seat and watched Ice Age 3 for the rest of the trip. At times, I still feel like in reality, I died on that plane. I am merely just experiencing a timeline in which that didn't happen---an anomaly, that shouldn't have happened. The timeline which death and Karma forgot.

So, would he do it again?

All in all, a great, powerful experience, but I feel really reckless and irresponsible for attempting this on a commercial airliner around other people.

I think we've all learned a lesson here. If you're ever going to take way too many drugs, wait until you are rich enough to do them on a private plane equipped with a really dope toilet.

In what will surely leave you saying, "Seriously, people freaked out about that?" Hayden Panettiere caused a bit of a virtual uproar when she was spotted without her engagement ring. Yep, people actually spent time being concerned about this.

She took to Twitter to set them straight.

To their credit, it's been a rough year for Panettiere. After the birth of her first child with fiance Wladimir Klitschko, she checked into rehab twice for postpartum depression.

She recently tweeted:

"The postpartum depression I have been experiencing has impacted every aspect of my life. Rather than stay stuck due to unhealthy coping mechanisms, I have chosen to take time to reflect holistically on my health and life. Wish me luck"

So like, calm down Panettierians (or Haydenators?), your homegirl Hayden has got it all under control.

Always working.
