Olivia Wilde reveals the ritual that makes her feel close to her baby whenever she travels.

In an interview with People, Olivia Wilde shared that when she's not able to actually be with her one-year-old son Otis, she uses the same baby lotion that she uses on him, so she can still feel close to him.

She told the magazine:

I love the smell of all the baby stuff. It’s all so lovely. Otis been using the same lotion since he was tiny. And actually, when I go away for work and I can’t be with him for a couple of days, I bring a little tub of it and wear it. I don’t know if this sounds super creepy, but I wear it as moisturizer on my arms so I vaguely smell like him. People are probably like, "Why does this lady smell like diapers?"

That's really sweet, and actually not creepy at all. It's not like she's carrying one of his used diapers or a jar of his urine around with her or smearing that on her arms, because that absolutely would be creepy.

Wilde is currently pregnant with her second child with fiancé Jason Sudeikis, and in the interview she spoke a bit about how being pregnant makes her feel pretty:

There’s something really beautiful about pregnancy. It is a time when you feel very connected to your body so right now—not having reached the point where I am definitely physically pregnant —I feel beautiful being in that space. This is what makes me feel best: when I can be in that space and be pregnant, but also be living my life and running around and working hard and being a good mom to my son and just feeling like, "Wow, I have all these internal and external factors that are making me feel great."

Some women, while they might be very happy and excited about the end result of the pregnancy, do not actually enjoy the pregnancy at all. So it's nice to hear about the women who enjoy the whole process. And once a woman has given birth, she is absolutely allowed to do whatever she wants to with that diaper lotion, although eating it might be ill-advised.

Alanis Morissette is expecting her second child, and she celebrated with a very serene pool party. Posting her pregnancy portrait on the 'gram, Morissette raised the bar for the art form by going underwater.

She captioned the pic with a cute quote from her feminist four-year-old son, "You have to be extra gentle around ladies because they are the most helpful people in the world 'cause they make persons."

Underwater, Morissette looks like Sarah Silverman, which is ironic, dontcha think? (Well, as ironic as anything in the song "Ironic.")

It's like a grown up version of Nirvana's "Nevermind" cover, but with a swimming adult (and a swimming fetus).

Alanis wasn't swimming after a dollar bill, but Instagram likes.

Teachers resign after they're caught mocking 'idiot' students on Slack.

$

Time to revert to shit-talking the old-fashioned way. The private group chat app, Slack,was hacked, and the first to go down were some annoyed teachers at a prep school.

Rhode Island charter school Blackstone Valley Prep's Slack conversations got hacked via a teachers email address on Monday, and that address was used to email the school's students, faculty, and staff a Google doc containing 18 pages of screenshots of private conversations between teachers.

And. They. Were. Mean.

Student Hudson Deighan opened the email and found a conversation in which a teacher she considered to be a mentor mocked her to another teacher.

“Here’s how Hudson spelled Ta-Nehisi Coates: Tonahese quotes.” her mentor wrote.

Minutes later, another teacher responds: “[expletive] idiot.”

Come on! Who amongst us knows how to spell Ta-Nehisi Coates? Who amongst us just had to Google who that is??

It's not often you'll want to defend a prep school teenager, but give this girl a break, she's 16 and she's trying.

Here are some other excerpts of conversations teachers allegedly had over Slack, as reported by the Providence Journal:

"Man I wish we could hit them," writes one teacher. Another responds, "Move to Arizona. Though really no school districts allow, by state law you are allowed to. Start your own charter and commence with the flogging." She responds: "lol"

"Did you ever hear from Hudson's mom?" asks one teacher. "I did not," responded another. "What a loser. Truly. There is more to success than where you go to school. Clearly Columbia doesn't provide access to parenting programs, or if they do, she didn't take advantage," he writes back.

"Lying [expletive] scum," writes one teacher of a failing student's parent, using a Spanish curse word. She continued, in all caps, "I CANNOT WITH HER I HOPE HER STUPID SON FAILS ALL OF HIS CLASSES."

"HE IS FAILING FIVE CLASSES," writes one teacher. Another responds, "[Expletive]IDIOT. Let him know if he [expletive] up again he will be in my HR. And I will not be so pleasant."

And all those students saw that. Hudson's dad, who spoke to the Journal, said of the school's leak, “the hacking is not your problem, the problem is the aggressively toxic environment your teachers have created for your youth.”

While the school hasn't released the names of any of the teachers involved, three teachers have already resigned in disgrace. Just goes to show, if you don't have something nice to say, say it face-to-face.

Leslie Jones got ghosted by designers who wouldn't dress her for the 'Ghostbusters' premiere.

SNL star Leslie Jones recently tweeted that no designers wanted to help make her a dress for the Ghostbusters premiere. Jones is an incredible force to be reckoned with in real life, and not just on Twitter, so she was sure to mention that she never forgets it if someone disrespects her:

It didn't take long for a highly influential and experienced designer to raise his hand, though, albeit in emoji form. Christian Siriano, the winner of the fourth season of Project Runway, gladly offered to help design a dress for Jones:

Some of Siriano's celebrity clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Rihanna,Victoria Beckham and Christina Hendricks. So basically, Jones will be in good hands. She still contemplated a little revenge to designers that declined to help:

But she ultimately took the high road, and is now all smiles thanks to Siriano:

Hell hath no fury like Leslie Jones, period. So it's best to stay on her good side.

BBC anchor too busy texting to realize she's on live TV.

Pretty much the only reason to actually watch TV in 2016 is the possibility of catching a real live blooper, and on June 27th, the BBC delivered. Giving distressed Brits some much-needed post-Brexit giggles (that don't include man-on-coin satirical erotica),anchor Joanna Gosling was caught chillin' on her phone during a broadcast. This caused her to miss her cue, much to the delight of everyone on the Internet who hasn't watched TV in years.

Fortunately for Ms. Gosling, most people have, at one time or another, been caught zoning out at work or with family. It just doesn't happen to most of us on TV. It was a humanizing moment that most found endearing.

Gosling quickly regained her professionalism and segued directly into the news. Later, she thanked people on Twitter for their well wishes.

Relive the brief-but-magical moment in GIF form.

She might be reading this post at her desk right now.

Scheiffer Bates' 'Game of Thrones' impressions are so good, he must be a Faceless Man.

Welsh voiceover actor Scheiffer Bates has gone viral with a video of his uncanny impressions of the characters from Game of Thrones. In the clip, the extremely talented 24-year-old covers all your favorite characters, living and dead: Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Tormund, Littlefinger and even Hodor (speaking of which, SPOILERS). His impressions are so good, you could listen to the video without watching and know exactly who each one is. (This author did.) Granted, you wouldn't be able to appreciate his Rickon-esque hair and White Walker-blue eyes.

You may recall Steve Love, a Canadian impressionist who went viral in 2014 for his Game of Thrones impressions. It's interesting to compare both videos—each man's impressions are slightly different, but very impressive. Love's career also bodes well for Bates' future—he so impressed the GoT showrunners that they invited him to appear in a cameo in the most recent season. Here he is having the honor of getting his head removed by Sandor Clegane.

It's every fan's dream.

If Scheiffer Bates plays his cards right, he could get torched by a dragon or something. Reach for the stars, Scheiffmeister!

6 celebrities who wrote ill-advised children's books.

$

So many books for children come out each year that publishers have to find a way to stand out somehow. A shortcut to that is celebrity. And yet, what's the purpose of children's books written by famous people? Kids don't really know who these celebrities are. Here are some of the most baffling kids' books by famous people.

1. Tori Spelling, Presenting… Tallulah.

Wait, is Tallulah supposed to be TORI SPELLING HERSELF?

It doesn't seem like the kind of people who would follow Spelling's career outside of Beverly Hills, 90210—people who watch her various reality shows based around puns on her name—would be real big on childhood literacy. Tallulah is about a fancy rich girl who does whatever she wants. So, you know, Tori Spelling. Or Eloise.


2. Bethenny Frankel, Cookie Meets Peanut.

Watch as they compete for Mommy's love!

Kids don't know what Real Housewives is. But real housewife Bethenny Frankel is all about empire-building, which means people must have bought this book because they also liked Frankel's low-calorie Skinnygirl wine. The story itself is about a lap dog who must deal with not being the center of attention when "Mommy" gets a new accessory: a real human baby.


3. Will Smith, Just the Two of Us.

"It's called After Earth and it's going to be HUGE!"

Smith (well, some editors) took his 1997 cover/interpolation of the 1981 Bill Withers hit "Just the Two of Us," (a tribute to his pre-Jaden and Willow son, Trey) and turned it into a book. The lyrics were slapped over some pictures, and it was done.


4. Jay Leno, If Roast Beef Could Fly.

Have you seen this, folks? Have you heard about this?

Imagine a world in which Jay Leno is a boy (really just a shorter adult Jay Leno), retaining his smirky grin, "What a crazy world!" mannerisms, and giant chin. It's probably a perfectly serviceable book for kids, but what six-year-old wants to know about a crazy childhood story from the guy who hosts a show that's on five hours after their bedtime? What six-year-old doesn't prefer Conan anyway?


5. Mario Lopez, Mud Tacos.

The next great concept in food trucks.

The former star of Saved By the Bell and current host of Extra (possibly Access Hollywood?) wrote this book with his sister, Marissa. It's a fond look back at how Mario used to make fake tacos in their backyard out of leaves, worms, and mud. But then they learn to make real tacos, you guys, out of foods. It's the perfect gift for a child who has somehow never heard of tacos.


6. Perez Hilton, The Boy With Pink Hair.

His hair is pink.

The guy who got famous by drawing penises on celebrities' photos was given money to write a book for children. It's an allegorical tale about being different and being proud of the way you're born, and that's all well and good—noble and important, even. But for someone to buy this book for a child, they would have to know who Perez Hilton was, and if they knew who Perez Hilton was, they'd be aware of the whole drawing penises on photos thing.

Kourtney Kardashian posted a picture of herself in a bikini on the same day that Khloé admitted why she only wears one pieces. And that, readers, is the definition of synergy. First, the bikini shot:

Kourt posted that on a Tuesday afternoon, in case you weren't already jealous of the idle life of the Kardashians. But then, her sister Khloé spoke out against bikinis on the very same day! Whoa! Here's what Khloé said to the British TV show Lorraine, which probably didn't waste a ton of time asking for the youngest Kardashian sister's views on Brexit:

I love one-pieces. I think one-pieces can be super-sexy. I don't think you need to show everything for it to be sexy. And now one-pieces [include] high European cuts and I think they're great and I feel really comfortable in them. So for me I'm always a one-piece girl. [...] But I think if you got it, flaunt it. I wish I was one of those girls who could just walk down in a bikini all the time but I don't feel comfortable.

Naked, though... she's comfortable with naked.

Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles reveals that Bey hated the wedding dress Tina designed, but wore it anyway.

Beyoncé is perfect; we know this. She's also a good sport. In fact, she willingly walked down the aisle on her wedding day in a wedding gown that she secretly loathed, so as not to offend her mom, who designed it. Awkward. That's right, Tina Knowles Lawson, the person responsible for dressing Destiny's Child in the '90s, shockingly didn't deliver a tasteful wedding dress on her daughter's big day. But if there's one thing Queen Bey excels at (other than everything), it's keeping her mouth shut and then dropping a well-timed truth bomb at just the right moment, long after the fact.

Bey “wasn’t so excited about [the dress] at the time," said Lawson on Today last week. But she didn't find this out until after the wedding when Beyoncé revealed the news in the sweetest, or most passive-aggressive, way possible. "She came back later one day and she said, ‘You know, when my daughter [Blue Ivy] gets married, I’m going to let her pick out her own dress.'" Aww! Or...ouch?

Lawson added, "Maybe she wasn’t so excited about [the dress] at the time, but she’s a sweetheart." This whole interaction reads as either majorly adorable, or major shade, on both sides. It's hard to know for sure; mother/daughter relationships are complicated. But one thing is certain in this world: don't let Tina Knowles Lawson design your wedding dress unless you are a big fan of the duds worn by Destiny's Child circa 1998. In which case, embrace who you are, you glorious, special snowflake, you.

Golf course community haunted by 'dumpy' woman soliciting strangers for '10 man train.'

Arranging an orgy on Craigslist can be so impersonal. Presumably, that's why one "dumpy" middle-aged woman is cruising the Barnehurst Golf Course southeast of London to find unsuspecting (or way-too-suspecting) new participants to join her in a "10 man train."

Warning, her hair is bushy af.

The description of the dog-walking pervert is less than flattering, and at first seems almost like a joke:

WARNING

PLEASE BE WARNED ABOUT THIS WOMAN

WHITE, 5FT 4IN, DUMPY BUILD, MIDDLE AGED, DARK BLONDE SHOULDER LENGTH BUSHY HAIR, WEARS GLASSES AND WALKS A GREY DOG.

Calling her "dumpy" seems uncalled for, but maybe that was just the best way they could think of to describe her so that others would recognize her. Not only did this woman dare to be dumpy, she was also allegedly sexually assaulting people under the guise of being an innocent woman walking her dog.

To wit, here is the rest of the warning:

THIS WOMAN IS A DISGUSTING PERVERT

FRIENDLY AT FIRST BUT BE WARNED SHE HAS AN AGENDA. BOTH SHE AND HER PARTNER ARE DOGGERS, TRYING TO TEST THE WATERS TO SEE IF YOU WANT TO JOIN IN THEIR DIRTY ANTICS.

I AM WARNING YOU AS I WAS NAIVE AND THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST OVERFRIENDLY. SHE MAKES ACQUAINTANCES THEN MAKES REMARKS AND ADVANCES THAT ARE SEXUALLY MOTIVATED. INVITING YOU TO MIDNIGHT WALKS WITH THE "DOG" EXCEPT THERE IS NO DOG!!

SHE MUST BE AVOIDED - WHEN SHE TRIED TO TOUCH ME IN MY SPECIAL PLACE I KNEW THAT SHE WAS A DIRTY PERVY DOGGER. SHE GOT VERY ABUSIVE WHEN I CHALLENGED HER ON HER ACTIONS

Dogger is perhaps the most perfect way to describe this woman. The number one result for the word on Urban Dictionary is "a person who jogs with their dog." The second most popular is "a person who like to have sex in public." This woman is both.

At first blush, the bizarre language of the sign makes it seem like a joke. It reads at first like it was written by a judgmental man who was offended at being hit on by a middle-aged woman, but upon closer inspection, there's a lot more going on.

This part, in particular, changes the tone of the warning from "funny ha ha" to "funny restraining order."

SHE GOT VERY ABUSIVE WHEN I TRIED TO CHALLENGE HER ON HER ACTIONS. SHE IS TRYING TO ARRANGE SEEDY GET TOGETHERS ON THIS FIELD - IF SHE OFFERS YOU A 10 MAN TRAIN OR ASKS IF YOU LIKE PEARLY RAIN YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO WALK AWAY!

WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE STOCKINGS ON THE BUSHES. GIVE HER A WIDE BERTH.

Let's just say that "pearly rain" isn't a song Prince is writing in heaven. As amusing as this warning is, this sounds like the for-real attempts of a horny woman to solicit people (probably women, but maybe men... hopefully not dogs) into participating in her serious group activities. Not that there's anything wrong with a 10 man train ending in pearly rain, but it's not something that normally comes up in the course of a dog-walking conversation.

Besides which, why is she soliciting others? Is she too dumpy to be the recipient of 10 dicks? Is she required to bring fresh meat before she gets a whack at them? Or has she just reached a point in her middle-aged life where the thrill comes from the proposition and subsequent voyeurism of nervous young strangers?

If we ever want the answers to these questions, we know what we have to do: find those stockings on the bushes at Barnehurst and stay the course.

Summer is truly here now that some genius has started selling rosé-infused gummi bears.

There's a new summer refreshment to go with your cooling glass of afternoon wine: rosé-flavored gummi bears. The bears are being sold by the luxury candy purveyor Sugarfina, because of course someone sells "luxury" candy. The initial offering of the Rosé All Day bears sold out in just 24 hours and generated so much traffic that it crashed Sugarfina's website.

Even if you missed the initial sale, you can still get added to the waitlist for when they get another shipment (if you're the sort of person who joins a waitlist for rosé-infused gummi bears). While they're sold by Sugarfina, the bears are actually made in Germany, where they are now presumably poised to become the country's greatest export after beer and Kraftwerk (and maybe cars).

Even if you can't get your mitts on these bears, Sugarfina does have a bunch of other booze-flavored offerings. So, you still have an excuse to get that special jar labeled "Mama's Candy" (if you're the sort of person who would get a jar of alcohol-flavored sweets labeled "Mama's Candy," of course).

Sophie Turner speaks out on the rumors that Sansa Stark is pregnant.

One persistent rumor among Game of Thronesfans this season was that Sansa Stark was pregnant with her rapist Ramsay Bolton's child. That horrifying scenario never played out this season, but some fans suspect that it will next year. In particular, they point to dialog that may foreshadows this, like Ramsay's line "I am part of you now," which he says to Sansa shortly before she murders him. But Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa, told The Hollywood Reporter that she disagrees with this interpretation:

I think some people have taken it very literally, thinking that she might be pregnant. Personally, I think it's more figurative, especially because months and months have gone on and Sansa really hasn't developed a baby belly. So I think he means he's going to forever be imprinted on her in a way that he's done such a terrible thing to her. He's taken something of hers that's so precious. I think he believes that will always be a part of her, but I think he underestimates just how strong she is, and just how easily she can forget him. Now that she's killed him she can forget him, and she can move on with her life.

If several months had indeed passed from the start of the season until now (which makes sense, given how far the characters travel), it seems unlikely that Sansa is pregnant. Of course, even if she did get pregnant, she'd probably just take some Moon Tea, because for some reason it's easier for women to get abortions in Westeros than it is in America.

Matt Damon pranked people into acting like Jason Bourne while he giggled at them over the phone.

Matt Damon could hardly contain his joy as he pranked random people, Jason Bourne-style, to raise money for his charity (Water.org). Damon turned strangers into spies by having them answer a random ringing phone and sending them on bizarre missions, which sounds like something people would never actually buy into, but luckily some did.

Much to the unadulterated glee of Damon, these newly-minted spies played along as he gave them instructions over a burner phone from a secluded room where he could giggle like a school girl while watching them on a live feed. You haven't seen Matt Damon this happy sans Ben Affleck pretty much ever.

At the end, the participants who stuck it out got to meet Damon and won tickets to the premiere of his new movie, Jason Bourne, which (let's be real), no one was really planning on seeing in the first place. Win-win for everyone.
