Maisie Williams chides a lazy internet for not making a big deal about her other tattoo.

While some celebrities act like they hate all the (granted, insane) attention avalanched upon them by every corner of the internet, Maisie Williams apparently can't get enough. On Monday, she sent a disappointed message to everyone who failed to make a tiny section of her skin one of their life's biggest priorities.

Well, that ends now.

Williams was spoiled with attention over the matching tats she got with her Game of Thronessister Sophie Turner, and now it's time to make just as big a deal about a tiny tattoo on her ankle.

Williams has yet to acknowledge that this little ankle tattoo is the fabled "other tattoo." But rest assured, if the other one is still out there, someone will spot it soon enough.

Thank you, Maisie Williams, for entertaining us through the long, long winter that is the Game of Thrones off season.

Ivanka Trump's five-year-old daughter is a hit in China.

As her Donald Trump tries to prepare to become one of the most powerful people in the world, his five year old granddaughter has become a powerful figure overseas. Ivanka's daughter, Arabella Kushner, just might be appointed ambassador to China (or Secretary of State!) after a video of her speaking Mandarin went viral.

The video of Arabella's "pre-bedtime Chinese New Year party" was posted onto Weibo, a social media platform that's allowed in China.

The video of Arabella started making the round again after the Global Times re-posted it on its Weibo account in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential win last week.

Ambassador Arabella is reciting the famous poem "Sympathy for the Peasants" by Li Shen, about the toils and strife of rice farmers.

Chinese commenters loved the video, both reveling in its cuteness and cracking jokes about the election.

According to The Washington Post,one the commenters joked, “Trump tries to know whether Chinese people secretly say bad words about him, so he lets his granddaughter study Chinese.”

Arabella's new fans have flocked to the original page.

Here's another video of her at her Sunday morning Mandarin lessons.

Arabella must love her traditional Chinese outfit. Here she is wearing it with her firefighter brother, Joseph, bopping to a Mandarin children's song.

Ivanka posts videos of her cute kids all the time. Probably because she's a proud parent, but you can't help but think how her kids' cuteness is being used to humanize the Trump #brand.

Is that too cynical? This election just might have turned me into stone.

Anyway, here's another video of cute kids, who should not be blamed for their parents' and grandparents' indiscretions!

Even professional ballerina Misty Copeland has been told to lose weight.

Misty Copeland, the first African-American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre, opened up to Self about being told that she had to lose weight in order to fit into the ballet world.

Copeland said that the American Ballet Theatre asked her to lose weight in her teens (they used the word "lengthen" in lieu of "drop the pounds"), which resulted in an eventual eating disorder. "Being told to lose weight, and being African-American, not having anyone else around who looked like me, caused me so much doubt," says Copeland. In a 2014 interview, Copeland said that at the time she only weighed 108 pounds at the time.

Copeland also notes that she has struggled to accept her body because she didn't hit puberty until she was 19 years old (which is common for athletes), at which point she was already working professionally. Dealing with changes to her body at the late stage was difficult, especially because her body was literally responsible for paying the bills.

Eventually Misty fell into healthy eating habits, noshing on fish and veggies over binging on donuts, and saw that that her improved diet resulted in more energy and better dancing. Although she didn't shed any pounds, the ABT stopped pushing her to lose weight because they were so happy with her improved performance. "You can't change your body to become something it isn't," she confesses, adding "I eat what I enjoy, just not too much of it."

Copeland notes that a lack diversity in the ballet world doesn't just apply to skin color, but to body shapes and sizes as well. Copeland's figure is different than the typical ballerina, but she is using her platform as a way to show all girls that they can make a space for themselves in whatever profession they love by loving themselves.

Fitness blogger shares side-by-side 'same girl, different angles' photos to promote body positivity.

Fitness blogger Ashlie Molstad, who runs Foodie Girl Fitness, is using her platform to spread an important message about body positivity. She recently posted side-by-side pictures of herself - one from an angle she deemed "flattering," (standing up with her arms above her head) and one sitting down, which she thought wasn't so flattering. "Same girl. Different angles," she wrote.

Molstad wanted to make sure her readers not only saw the "posed, put together, professional sides" of her, but also the "not so flattering sides." She hopes this will remind women that despite constantly being fed "ideas of perfection," everyone has flaws and deserves to love themselves exactly as they are.

Her post reads:

Same girl. Different angles.

If I'm going to show you the posed, put together, professional sides of me, I'm gonna make damn sure you see the not so flattering sides too. Because, contrary to what society has taught us to think, our worth isn't measured by how many belly rolls we have, or how many dimples on our booty, or how much jiggle hangs out on our arms.
.
Loving ourselves exactly as we are is hard. Because we've been told for years that we're not good enough until we {insert any of the thousands of ideas of perfection that has been fed to us over the years}. But I call BS. I say that the real magic happens when we embrace who we are, at every angle and size.
.
This doesn't mean I don't also struggle with embracing this body I was given, but it does mean that I understand working on loving me is the most important job I will ever have.
.
Our bodies aren't broken. The message society is trying to tell us {by airbrushing everything, erasing dimples and rolls and fluff} is.
.
So even though its really hard, lets remember we are worthy and beautiful and special and ALIVE. Go on and love yourself today, because THAT shit is whats inspiring.

Instagram star creeped out by user who meticulously imitated all of her photos.

Jack Morris and Lauren Bullen travel to exotic locales all over the world and share their "work" (as Bullen describes it) on hisand her Instagram accounts to their 2 million combined followers. You can hardly blame someone for wanting to copy the couple's lifestyle. But you can blame someone for imitating their photos so meticulously that it verges on stalker-like.

Bullen shared a blog post this week showing how a user went way too far in imitating their photos, down to exact locations, clothing and details. She shared pics of their photos side-by-side and you can see why she is creeped out:

Uhh..... WTF?

"We work extremely hard to create the work we do & know so many of our followers appreciate this and respect what we do, but this was just next level," Bullen wrote in her blog post, which she titled "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery." She explained that she reached out to the user, who responded by claiming "everyone copies" the couple already, and adding that she only has 1000 followers. "But that’s not at all the point," wrote Bullen. "It’s not about how many followers anyone has- you are copying and stealing someone’s art to a ridiculously creepy level."

She said the user, who calls herself Diana (but is that even her real name??), has received some backlash from Lauren and Jack's followers. But we don't know if she'll continue imitating them at this point, or not.

What do you think: creepy? Or flattering?

(This isn't even all of them)

If you ask me, the most ridiculously creepy aspect of this entire scenario is how much money all of these people have. If only there was a way to copy that.


This teen saved a child from being sexually assaulted by a 'demonic' man at Target.

A teenager just rescued a young girl from being sexually assaulted at a Target store in Boston. Score one for humanity.

17-year-old Cameron Cook told CBS that while he was out shopping with his mom in South Bay, he noticed a "demonic" looking man eyeing a small girl and touching himself.

I seen the guy grabbing himself, and my mom goes, ‘Cam let’s go, keep walking,’ I was like, no, something’s going on.

At that moment, the man thrust himself on the girl, and that's when Cameron stepped in.

“So I went up to him, I was like, ‘Excuse me sir, do you know her?’ And then the first thing he said was, ‘I’m not a pervert, I’m not a pervert.’ I was like, I didn’t ask you that sir."

Sounds like the drunk asshole doth protest too much. Then Cameron told the suspect to leave the store, and, guess what? He did.

"I could smell the liquor coming from his mouth."

Cameron Cook and mom Heather Cook.

"He was big, and Cameron had no fear at all," says Heather Cook. "He just stood firm on the fact that he knew that was this man was doing was wrong."

Video surveillance has the man muttering to himself that he didn't do anything wrong before leaving the store to enter a waiting car.

The mother of the little girl is said to be very thankful for the intervention, she was in the bathroom at the time.

Just another reason why women travel to the bathroom in groups. There won't always be a Cameron Cook around to make things right.

Hey, Happy Tuesday! How was your day? Oh, god. Same. At least tonight is guaranteed to be better than last Tuesday night. It's hard to beat that one in shock and horror.

Anyhow, here's what you missed on the Interwebs!

1. Of all the men alive—and there are billions—Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was been declared to be the sexiest one.

The Rock and is pecs the size of your person have won People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive alive award, coincidentally a week before his new movie Moana comes out.

He gave his acceptance speech on Twitter, where he assures as that he is taking care of his babies "sexily ;)."

2. An Instagram star has an imposter recreating their pictures down to the very last detail.

Lauren Bullen, a professional Instagrammer, recently discovered that she was being discovered from exotic locale to exotic locale, as a 'grammer ostensibly named Diana relives her life and wears her clothes.

I can't wait to see this movie starring Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway.

3. A powertripping TSA agent f*cked with this mom's breastmilk, but women know what's up.

Yesterday was my first time flying with breastmilk. I'd done my research beforehand and asked TSA (locally) what was...

Posted by Juliana Barrett on Monday, November 14, 2016

Mom Julie Barnett didn't cry over spoiled breastmilk, but she made a great, angry post about it. A TSA manhanted her bottles at the Houston airport, resulting in an airport experience even worse than the usual one.

People have got to read up on their own rules.

4. Ivanka Trump's five-year-old daughter has gone viral in China, making her the frontrunner to be the next Secretary of State.

With almost as much diplomatic experience as actual frontrunner Rudy Giuliani, little Arabella Kushner just might be the new face of American-Chinese relations. Videos of her speaking Mandarin were posted to the Chinese government-approved version of Twitter, and people are going nuts, and cracking anti-Trump jokes of their own.

5. Tony Bennett's love story is basically this SNL sketch.

Tony Bennett, 90, met his wife Susan Benedetto, 50, while she was merely in the womb.

The nonagenarian singer met her parents when he was a spritely young forty-year-old, and Susan was incidentally in utero. They seem to be very chill about it.

6. A super teen saved the day when a child was on the virge of being sexually attacked at a target.

Seventeen-year-old Cameron Cook was shopping at Target for those sweet deals when he saw a "demonic" looking man masturbating in front of a little girl (oy).

Cook stepped in and talked to the pervert,

This story has a happy ending, simultaneously showing how sh*tty and heroic people could be.

7. And on a lighter note, here's just some great tweets.

Here's why Kelly Clarkson turned down two record deals before 'American Idol.'

We all remember when Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol (and captured the hearts of a nation), but it turns out if some record company execs had been a little kinder to her, she may not have needed the show to launch her to fame. In a recent interview with Good Housekeeping, Clarkson revealed that she actually turned down two record deals before even appearing on Idol because the producers were pressuring her to lose weight.

She told Good Housekeeping:

[The record companies] were like, "You have to lose 20 pounds and basically sign your life away" — and I was small then, by the way. I don't want to start a relationship with somebody who says something like that. And this is my gift, and they wanted to take all the profit from me working my butt off. Why would I?

When asked how she found the courage to turn the record deals down, Clarkson said that growing up in a small town where "everybody always has something to say," helped her "develop a thick skin."

She explained that she learned not to worry about what others have to say. "This is my life; these are my fingerprints; I'm unique; this is what I want to do," she said. "You worry about your own front porch and what's happening in your own world."

And hey, now she's super famous. Bet those record company guys regret ever telling her she needed to lose weight.

Nicki Minaj, an immigrant, lays into Donald Trump in new track 'Black Barbies.'

Nicki Minaj, the Queen of beefs, is ready to take on the president-elect. The rapper released a remix of Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” (which is the No. 1 song in the country right now), called Black Barbies. And she's got a few words for our next Commander-in-Chief. Not nice ones.

Minaj previously shit talked Donald and Melania Trump at a pre-election Tidal concert, so we know she's not a fan. In the new track, she targets his immigration policies with lyrics like: "Island girl, Donald Trump want me go home/Still pull up with my wrist looking like a snow-cone,” and, “Praying all my foreigns don’t get deported.”

You can listen here:

Unrelated (it seems) to politics, Minaj also shouts out El Chapo and Joan Rivers. And says she's "too high to give a shit about PETA," in case you were wondering. You can read the full lyrics here.

One silver lining to a Trump presidency: it could usher in a lot more anti-establishment music like this. At least that's something fun to listen to while the world goes up in flames.

Carrie Fischer reveals she had an 'intense' affair with married 33-year-old Harrison Ford when she was 19.

It actually happened. Carrie Fisher, AKA Princess Leia, finally admits that she had an affair with co-star Harrison Ford while filming "Star Wars," and her description of it is better than anyone's fan-fiction.

Fisher was only 19 when she took that breakout role but admits that, to every fan's delight, she and then-married 33-year-old father Harrison Ford had an affair during their three months of filming.

"It was so intense," Fisher writes in her new book, The Princess Diarist. The spicy excerpt was gifted in an exclusive to People.“It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend."

Fisher explains she decided to come clean about her moments between the sheets after digging through her old journals from that time 40 years ago.

Apparently, they started hooking up one night after Director George Lucas' birthday party, and she felt v insecure about the whole thing.

“I looked over at Harrison. A hero’s face — a few strands of hair fell over his noble, slightly furrowed brow,” she writes. “How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me?”

Unghhhhh. That is just. So. Hot.

The relationship found a natural end when the filming was over, making it the perfect co-star romance if you don't think about Ford's wife and two children at home.

People reports that Ford was given a warning about Fisher's book, but hasn't offered up any comments of his own. But we can imagine.


These celebrities are wearing safety pins to make a controversial statement.

Celebrities like Olivia Wilde and Patrick Stewart are showing off the safety pins they've pinned to their clothing for a reason that has nothing to do with missing buttons. The pins are meant to symbolize solidarity with people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, women and other groups who have been targeted or threatened by Donald Trump and/orhis supporters.

Why safety pins tho? The symbol started in the UK, as a response to Brexit:

Of course, a number of celebrities jumped on board, like Sir Patrick Stewart:

And Olivia Wilde, who seems like maybe she thought this was a competition. If it was, she clearly would have won:

👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿 #safe

A photo posted by Olivia Wilde (@oliviawilde) on

But though the movement is well-intentioned, it hasn't been entirely welcomed by some of the people it is supposedly meant to support. Some opponents, many of them people of color, have pointed out the pins are a form of "slactivism" or an easy way to "alleviate white guilt" (you may have noticed all of the celebrities above are white):

Oh, and one woman took things entirely too far when she decided to try and build a safety pin empire on Etsy. She got massively schooled on Twitter:

These are all good points. But if safety pins are a not actually helping people, what will Olivia Wilde do with the Costco-sized vat of them she apparently bought? Does no one think of the celebrities' well-being in all of this??

NFL star Von Miller claims he's being extorted for 'millions' over Cancun sex tape.

NFL star Von Miller might be having a worse week than you. The Denver Broncos linebacker is facing extortion by a woman who is demanding he pay her $2.5 million or she will leak a sex tape from their one-night-stand in Cancun, TMZ reports.

This is according to legal docs being filed in LA under the name "Doe," which "multiple sources" are saying is a pseudonym for Miller. The legal docs describe him as "one of the most talented people at his craft in the U.S. and the world."

😈

A photo posted by Von Miller (@vonmiller) on

According to the documents, Miller says he met a woman named Elizabeth Ruiz while he was visiting Mexico this past June. They had sex, which Ruiz recorded on her phone, after assuring him it would remain private. Turns out, you can't always trust strangers you have one-night-stands with.

After the trip, Miller claims he reached out to Ruiz and asked her to destroy the recording. She replied: "Gotcha."

Oooof.

Miller also alleges that Ruiz tried to sell the video to TMZ, but they turned it down. So now, according to the court docs, she's trying to sell him the tape for $2.5 million and Miller is asking a judge to block her from making it public.

I feel bad for the guy, so let's revisit some of his happier moments. They all happen to involve dancing:

Von, I believe you will get through this. And YOU WILL DANCE AGAIN.

'Modern Family' star Ariel Winter shares her new tactic for dealing with cyberbullying.

Ariel Winter has dealt with more than her share of cyberbullying since breaking into showbiz at age 11 as a star of Modern Family. This week at a panel during Glamour's Women of the Year Summit, the eloquent 18-year-old discussed her struggles with cyberbullying and shared her secret for dealing with the criticism: ignoring it.

“I realized when I was 16 and a half or so that I had wasted so much time trying to please everyone else,” said Winter. “I had to take that time to be happy, and I really did. It was the best decision I ever made. I stopped reading comments.”

Smart move, especially given the amount of vitriol that has been hurled her direction. The 18-year-old actress has come under fire for everything from her breasts to her "inappropriate" attire. Her response? Ignore the hate and keep posting. “I don’t police what I post because I think it’s unnecessary,” she said at the summit. “I don’t care. I post what I like. I post what’s going to make me happy.”

As a tip for others dealing with online harassment, Winter said: “You don’t respond to the harassers—you talk to everybody and you start a conversation."

Wise words! We all could take a pointer from her and stop reading online comments. That's #goals for me (please comment if you liked this article).
