Cardi B and Offset are celebrating their first wedding anniversary together!

Since Cardi announced that she and her baby’s father, Offset, had secretly married last year, we’ve all been wondering when we would finally get to see a photo from the special day. Well, to celebrate their first anniversary together (the couple married on September 20, 2017), the “Bodak Yellow” rapper shared a never-before-seen photo from her wedding day with Offset on Instagram, Hello Giggles reports.

“TBT...September 20th,” Cardi captioned the Instagram post, which shows the couple tenderly holding hands, with Cardi wearing a white tracksuit.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

TBT ...September 20th

A post shared by CARDIVENOM (@iamcardib) on

Cardi still looks absolutely fabulous, tracksuit and all.

While the couple secretly tied the knot last September, they were able to keep their marriage a secret until June. Amid marriage rumors, Cardi confirmed the speculation in a tweet to her fans, writing, “There are so many moments that I share with the world and there are moments that I want to keep for myself! Getting married was one of those moments! Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other.”

“One morning in September we woke up and decided to get married. We found someone to marry us, and she did, just the two of us and my cousin,” Cardi also shared, adding that she tied the knot without a dress, makeup or a ring.

According to E! News, Offset proposed to Cardi in October in front of a sold-out crowd at Power 99’s Powerhouse in Philadelphia. Talking about the public engagement, Cardi told fans, “I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting for me have that special moment that every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger and he did that for me!!”

Just a few months ago, Cardi gave birth to the couple’s first child together, a baby girl named Kulture Kiari Cephus.

We are just so happy to see the couple so in love! Happy anniversary, Cardi and Offset!


Joe Alwyn Opened Up About His 'Very Private' Relationship With Taylor Swift for the First Time

Even though it’s rumored that they have been dating for two years, Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have never publicly talked about their relationship — that is, until now. In a new interview with Vogue UK, Alwyn opened up about his very private relationship with the “Delicate” singer, and admitted that he totally gets why everyone is so fascinated with hearing about their mysterious romance.

“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things. I think we have been successfully very private,” the 27-year-old actor said in his interview with Vogue UK for its October issue, according to E! News.“And that has now sunk in for people… but I really prefer to talk about work.”

Alwyn’s romance with the 28-year-old pop star, who has had multiple high-profile relationships in the past, first made headlines last year. A source close to the couple previously told Us Weekly that Alwyn“really showed Swift a different lifestyle and the value of privacy.”

“They vowed to keep their relationship to themselves and they’ve done everything they can to keep it that way,” the source told Us Weekly in July, adding that the “Look What You Made Me Do” star is “the happiest she’s ever been.”

The couple has only stepped out in public together a few times since they reportedly began dating in 2016, but the actor has been spotted at at Swift’s Reputation tour shows a number of times, Hello Giggles reports. Swift appeared to give Alwyn a shout-out at her concert.  

“[I] think there was a bit of a bait-and-switch that happened with this album when we put out ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ and we’re like, ‘Guys, this album is gonna be one thing.’ And then the album came out,” Swift told fans at her Taylor Swift NOW concert in Chicago on August 29. “It’s legitimately an album about finding love throughout all the noise.”

The actor appeared to return the favor, sending Swift a low-key nod on his now-public Instagram in May when both took photos in front of the same cactus.

We totally understand why Alwyn and Swift want to keep their relationship under wraps and out of the public eye as much as possible. Dating is hard enough, so we can only imagine that it would be even more difficult trying to date one of the most popular people on the planet.

It’s a love story, so baby just...keep it private.

HC Wake-Up Call: Ford Willing to Testify, Cohen Spoke to Muller Team for Hours & Halloween's First Problematic Costumes Have Arrived

Good morning, Her Campus! With a break-neck news cycle, there is no possible way for you to stay on top of every story that comes across your feeds—we’re all only human, after all.

But, life comes at you fast. So grab a cup of coffee and settle in for this quick and dirty guide to stories you might’ve been sleeping on (like, literally. It’s early.)

Christine Blasey Ford Willing to Testify Before Senators About Kavanaugh Allegations

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when they were in high school, reiterated on Thursday that she would be willing to testify before senators about her allegations.

In a letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ford’s attorney says her client “would be prepared to testify next week,” as long as conditions are considered to be “fair and which ensure her safety.”

Ford’s attorney asked to discuss the terms of her client’s testimony via a phone call on Thursday, adding that Ford still had a “strong preference” that “a full investigation” take place before she testified, USA Today reports. The attorney also said Ford's safety is a high priority and a hearing on Monday “is not possible,” adding that the Judiciary Committee’s “insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event.”

“As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home,” the email states.

Since Ford came forward publicly with her allegations in The Washington Post on Sunday both Ford and Kavanaugh have been the target of death threats.

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee requested that the FBI investigate the threats and the alleged hacking of Ford’s email, which was seen to “intimidate” her and “potentially prevent her from testifying about her credible allegations of sexual assault,” according to a letter sent to the FBI.

Kavanaugh sent a letter to the committee Thursday, accepting the invitation to appear before senators and give his testimony on Monday. The Supreme Court nominee wrote that he would like to have the hearing as soon as possible so “that [he] can clear [his] name.”

“Since the moment I first heard this allegation, I have categorically and unequivocally denied it,” Kavanaugh wrote. “I remain committed to defending my integrity.”

In a letter sent to Ford’s attorney urging her to testify, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said he “reopened the hearing because I believe that anyone who comes forward with allegations of sexual assault has a right to be heard.”

“By hearing out both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh, the Committee will endeavor to discover the truth of the matter, and will be better able to make an informed judgment about Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination,” he wrote.

Grassley has said both Ford and Kavanaugh need to be heard.

Michael Cohen Spoke to Special Counsel About Russia & Possible Collusion

President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has participated in multiple interviews lasting several hours over the past month with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, sources told ABC News.

Mueller’s questioning of Cohen reportedly focused primarily on all aspects of Trump’s dealings with Russia, from Trump’s financial and business dealings with Russia to the investigation on possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and it’s ultimate effects on the 2016 presidential election.

Special counsel also asked Cohen if Trump or any of his associates discussed the possibility of a pardon with him, sources said.

Cohen’s meetings with special counsel, which have taken place in Washington D.C. and New York City, have been voluntary, without any guarantee of leniency from prosecutors, ABC News reports.

Sources also told ABC News that Cohen is cooperating with a seperate probe by New York state authorities into the inner workings of the Trump family charity and the Trump Foundation, where Cohen served as an executive vice president and special counsel to Trump for nearly 10 years.

Last month in New York, Cohen plead guilty to eight felonies, including bank fraud, tax evasion and two campaign finance violations for making hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, who both claimed to have had affairs with Trump.

The First (But Probably Not the Last) Problematic 2018 Halloween Costume Has Arrived & People Are Not Having It

Another Halloween, another costume that completely sexualizes women. Yandy, a woman’s clothing brand, is drawing anger from the internet over their recently released “Brave Red Maiden” costume inspired by the Hulu series The Handmaid’s Tale on its website. And the costume is guaranteed to make you cringe.

Yandy description of the costume reads: “An upsetting dystopian future has emerged where women no longer have a say. However, we say be bold and speak your mind in this exclusive Brave Red Maiden costume featuring a red mini dress, a matching cloak with an attached hood, and a white bonnet headpiece.” To make matters even worse, the keywords “sexy Halloween costumes” is included in the tagged categories.

The hit Hulu show, which is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood, focuses on a dystopian society and follows a handmaid named Offred (played by Elisabeth Moss) as she navigates this society where women are owned by the government. According to Hello Giggles, The Handmaid’s Tale recently earned 20 nominations at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 17th, and Samira Wiley, alum of Orange is the New Black, took home an Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series award for her role as Moira.

The show’s iconic red cloak, however, has become a symbol of women’s rights. Just earlier this month, women dressed in the red cloaks stood outside Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing in silence.

So it’s completely understandable that Yandy’s decision to sexualize an ensemble that has come to represent something so important would upset people.

Here’s some of the reactions on Twitter over the costume.

A word of advice to Halloween costume producers: Just don’t.

What to look out for…

Someone found Meghan Markle’s old pump-up playlist from her former blog, The Tig, and it will definitely get you through to the weekend.

Trump Tweeted About The Kavanaugh Allegations & Got So Much Wrong About Reporting Sexual Assault

$

In a series of tweets published this Friday, President Donald Trump questioned the seriousness of Christine Blasey Ford's allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, based on the fact she did not report the attack to the police when it occurred. 

In his attempts to support Kavanaugh, Trump's tweets proved just how uninformed he is in regards to the nuanced realities of sexual assault reporting. The fact of the matter is, most sexual assaults go unreported — and even when incidents are reported to the police, charges are usually not filed. 

According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN),only310 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to the police. There are numerous reasons incidents of sexual assault are not reported including fears of retaliation and not wanting to relive such a traumatic event over and over again during the course of an investigation.

Yet another reason is the belief that the police would not take any allegations seriously. It's easy to understand how this suspicion of the police come about; for one, according to RAINN, only six perpetrators out of every 1,000 rapes are incarcerated, making many cynical about the legal process.

According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN),only 310 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to the police.

Blasey herself referenced this concept to the Washington Post: “Why suffer through the annihilation if it’s not going to matter?” she said.

An issue related to this is that many victims feel that it is their fault the assault happened, a feeling that many police officers and defense lawyers will exploit. They, and others, feel a sense of doubt about what actually occurred, even though the reality is, only two to eight percent of sexual assault allegations are false, according to Vox

“There’s something really unique about sexual assault in the way we think about it, which is pretty upside down from the way it actually operates,” Kimberly A. Lonsway, a psychologist and research director of End Violence Against Women International, told the New York Times. “In so many instances when there’s something that is characteristic of assault, it causes us to doubt it.”

The Senate planned to vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation on Sept. 20, but the decision has been delayed until both Blasey and Kavanaugh could testify. Though Blasey declined an invitation to testify on Monday, she has said, through her lawyer, that she was open to testifying later under several conditions including the requirement that Kavanaugh is not in the hearing room when she speaks.

A Yale Professor Reportedly Said Brett Kavanaugh's Law Clerks Usually 'Looked Like Models'& It's Pretty Creepy

A pair of Yale University law professors has reportedly been advising female law students for years to focus on their ‘appearances’ when applying to clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, according to Slate and The Guardian.

These reports come in light of the sexual assault accusation against Brett Kavanaugh by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who alleges he assaulted her in high school. Dr. Ford has agreed to testify next week under fair negotiations, according to The New York Times.

Professors Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld, both vocal supporters of Brett Kavanaugh amid sexual assault allegations, reportedly informed female law students that it was ‘no accident’ Kavanaugh’s clerks looked like ‘models.’

Both Chua and Rubenfeld, who are married, encouraged young female law students to look traditionally attractive when interviewing for a clerkship with Kavanaugh. Chua, known for her book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," is regarded at Yale Law School as an essential asset to securing vital clerkships.

According to Slate, students often took Chua up on her advice—with one student reporting that Chua requested photos of her interview outfit. Another student claimed she was so uncomfortable with the process that she decided not to pursue the Kavanaugh clerkship.

Chua’s husband Rubenfeld, another Yale law professor, also told female students that Kavanaugh liked clerks with a "certain look."

Rubenfeld is currently the focus of an internal investigation at Yale Law School regarding accusations of ‘harassment’ and ‘inappropriate conduct’. He has denied the allegations.

Chua and Rubenfeld continue to support Kavanaugh throughout the investigation. The confirmation vote on Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination has been delayed as Dr. Ford has agreed to testify in front of the Senate Panel next week, pending FBI involvement.

Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown is responding to backlash coming from her reveal, during an interview with Access on the Emmys red carpet, that she and Drake text all the time.

"Ahh, I love him," Millie said when asked about her unlikely friendship with Drake. "I met him in Australia and he's honestly so fantastic and a great friend, and a great role model."

"We just texted each other the other day and he was like, 'I miss you so much,' and I was like 'I miss you more,'" she continued. "He's coming to Atlanta and I'm definitely going to go and see him. I'm so excited. [Drake gives me advice] about boys, he helps me. He's great. He's wonderful. I love him."

Following the shock and distaste from fans and others on social media to the Stranger Things star saying that she receives dating advice from Drake, Millie went on her Instagram Story to share her thoughts. "Why u gotta make a lovey friendship ur headline? You guys are weird… for real," she wrote. "I'm lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance. I'm very blessed to have amazing people in my life. You don't get to choose that for me. It's nice to have people who understand what I do. Now get back to talking about real problems in this world other than my friendships… jeez."

The two first met at a Drake concert in Brisbane in November 2017, when Millie went back stage. They later shared a snap on each of their Instagrams. "This guy...", she wrote to her 17 million followers. Drake later also shared a picture of the two of them with the caption,"Hawkins Very Own".

Try Not to Weep As You Watch This Google Doodle Tribute to Mister Rogers

Growing up, I remember feeling a sense of happiness and warmth whenever I saw Mister Rogers wearing his cardigan and switching his shoes on the television screen. So it comes as no surprise to me that I'd shed a few tears and get goosebumps after seeing Google's tribute to children's TV icon Mister Rogers on its search page today, celebrating the 51st anniversary of the first episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

The stop-motion animation starts with a recreated introduction to the TV show, featuring Mister Rogers strolling through the neighborhood singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" The Google Doodle's YouTube channel, where the video lives, states that the Doodle "aims to be a reminder of the nurturing, caring, and whimsy that made the show feel like a 'television visit' between Mister Rogers and his young viewers."

According to CNN, while the Doodle honors the filming of the first episode on September 21, 1967, the show did not air nationally on PBS until February 1968.

The Doodle ends with Rogers teaching one lesson: "You help to make each day a special day by just your being yourself. There's nobody else in the whole world who's exactly like you, and people can like you exactly as you are."

Try holding back your tears while watching this nostalgic Doodle (I know I can't).

Lili Reinhart, Ashley Judd & More Join #WhyIDidntReport Movement in Light of Kavanaugh Accusations

Trigger Warning: This article contains mentions of rape and sexual assault.

Sexual assault survivors are taking to Twitter to share the various reasons why they didn't immediately, or ever, report what happened to them with the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport. Celebrities like Lili Reinhart, Ashley Judd, Whitney Cummings, and more were among those who participated. 

The hashtag began trending on Friday after President Trump questioned why Christine Blasey Ford didn't disclose that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh forced himself on her back when it happened, when the two were in high school. 

After Trump's tweets, Alyssa Milano responded by sharing her story and inviting others to do the same. 

Ford told The Washington Postthat she kept quiet about Kavanaugh's alleged assault because she didn't want her parents to find out that she was drinking at the age of 15. 

Her choice not to reveal what happened to her isn't an usual one for survivors. According to estimates from the federal government, nearly two thirds of rape and sexual assault victims don't report it. 

Keeli Sorensen, vice president of victim services at RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), told ABC News that there are many reasons that people don't report. 

"If I am someone who believes there is going to be retaliation, or the person who committed and perpetrated the events against me is well-respected, has a high profile within a community, a community I care about, I am going to see a lot of risk related to reporting, particularly because it will instigate an investigation, and that might be a risk I'm not willing to take," Sorensen said. "So that might be a big part of it."

Six Siblings of an Arizona Republican Endorse His Opponent in a Brutal Political Ad

Arizona Democrat David Brill, who's challenging current state representative Paul Gosar, unveiled a series of ads last week that feature none other than six of Gosar's siblings endorsing Brill, and denouncing their brother. 

One video released Friday features David, Gaston, Grace, Jennifer, Joan and Tim condemning the Republican representative's positions on immigration, the environment, healthcare, and more. At the beginning of the clip, some of the siblings admit that they don't necessarily want to speak out against their brother, but they have to. "I couldn't be quiet any longer, nor should any of us be," Grace Gosar says.

According to CNN, Rep. Gosar "has a long history of controversial remarks and actions," including his promotion of the conspiracy theory that last year's white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was a leftist plot financed by George Soros.

The Phoenix New Times reported that another ad features Grace Gosar saying that it's difficult to see her brother "as anything but a racist."

"We gotta stand up for our good name," David Gosar says in Friday's video. "This is not who we are."

He told the New Times that he and his siblings are not trying to seek attention. "None of us are doing this for publicity. None of us even want to do it," David Gosar said.

The ads aren't the first time the Gosar siblings have condemned their brother. After Rep. Gosar's comments about Charlottesville, they published an open letter in the Kingman Daily Minerlambasting him for his "deceit" and "antisemitic dog whistle." Around the same time, David Gosar also told the New Times that his brother is "an embarassment" to the family. 

Rep. Gosar's campaign has yet to respond to the ad. 

Beyoncé's Ex-Band Member Is Accusing Her of Using 'Extreme Witchcraft'&'Spells of Sexual Molestation'

Kimberly Thompson, who had once worked as a drummer for Beyoncé, claims the singer is wrapped up in the practices of “extreme witchcraft” and has been using her spells to run surveillance and control her finances. Oh, and she wants a restraining order against the "Single Ladies" singer, too. 

According to very bizarre court documents obtained by The Blast, Thompson first explains how she used to work for Beyoncé: “I worked for her as her drummer for her band for 7 years.” Along with performing alongside Bey, she has also released several albums with her own record label and has played with The 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

She claims that for reasons currently unknown, Bey has started a campaign of harassment against her, which includes “extreme witchcraft, dark magic” and “magic spells of sexual molestation.” She has also accused the “Lemonade” star of murdering her kitten. 

Uhhh?

It’s unclear why Thompson believes Beyoncé is doing all of this, but so far, she's been very adamant in her claims. Thompson even emailed Pitchfork, confirming the accuracy of the documents posted by The Blast. “All accusations... I survived are real,” she wrote.

According to The Blast, Thompson’s request for a temporary restraining order was denied by a judge, most likely because of the non-sensical rantings about witchcraft. However, there's currently a restraining order hearing scheduled for October 11.

Do Yourself a Favor & Look at Eric Stonestreet's Hilarious 'Modern Family' Meghan Markle Halloween Costume

It may still be September, but there's already a Halloween costume that's going to be hard to beat: Cameron Tucker's on Modern Family

Played by Eric Stonestreet, Tucker is apparently dressing up as Meghan Markle. The costume is both timely and hilarious – and not to mention, an extremely good imitation. 

Instead of mimicking Markle's Royal Wedding look, Tucker opted to recreate the Duchess' outfit from the Trouping the Colour parade in June. The off-the-shoulder skirt suit, hat, and wig are beyond fabulous on the both of them!

Of course, Stonestreet's on-screen husband, Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), dressed up as Prince Harry. 

Aside from Phil Dunphy's fly (?) costume — which can be seen next to Tucker's — the rest of the Modern Family cast's costumes are unknown at this point. 

Season 10 of Modern Family premieres September 26 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. 

Leighton Reveals Mixed Feelings About 'Gossip Girl' and Says It Wasn't the 'Healthiest Environment'

In a new cover story with PorterEdit, Leighton Meester revealed she has mixed feelings about her time on Gossip Girl.

"I'm not haunted by that time, but it's been interesting and helpful for me to look at it and examine it as an adult and go, 'I don't know if it was the healthiest environment," Meester told the magazine.  

The actress, most-known for her role as Blair Waldorf on the CW show, started acting at a very young age. She even relocated to L.A. at age 14, and got her high school diploma at 16. Gossip Girl was her big break, but the filming of the show was on a pretty tight schedule. 

"I would get there at 5 a.m. and leave at 8 p.m.," Meester told PorterEdit. "A lot of days I didn't see the sun."

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by PORTER magazine (@portermagazine) on

In addition to the stressful schedule, the show turned Meester into an overnight sensation — something the young actress wasn't prepared for. 

However, Meester told the magazine she wouldn't trade the experience for anything: "It's sort of a time capsule. A lot of the questions that come from it are: 'Do you miss it?''Did you love what you wore?' And I understand that, but—and I say this with nothing but love—it is like saying, 'High school was an amazing time for you. Do you wish you could go back?' And the truth is, it was so special and such a unique, amazing experience, but no, I wouldn't wanna go back to it. I was a kid!"

Meester will return to TV this fall with ABC's new series Single Parents. We hope she finds this environment to be a lot healthier!

In a new cover story with PorterEdit, Leighton Meester revealed she has mixed feelings about her time on Gossip Girl.

"I'm not haunted by that time, but it's been interesting and helpful for me to look at it and examine it as an adult and go, 'I don't know if it was the healthiest environment," Meester told the magazine.  

The actress, most-known for her role as Blair Waldorf on the CW show, started acting at a very young age. She even relocated to L.A. at age 14, and got her high school diploma at 16. Gossip Girl was her big break, but the filming of the show was on a pretty tight schedule. 

"I would get there at 5 a.m. and leave at 8 p.m.," Meester told PorterEdit. "A lot of days I didn't see the sun."

In addition to the stressful schedule, the show turned Meester into an overnight sensation — something the young actress wasn't prepared for. 

However, Meester told the magazine she wouldn't trade the experience for anything: "It's sort of a time capsule. A lot of the questions that come from it are: 'Do you miss it?''Did you love what you wore?' And I understand that, but—and I say this with nothing but love—it is like saying, 'High school was an amazing time for you. Do you wish you could go back?' And the truth is, it was so special and such a unique, amazing experience, but no, I wouldn't wanna go back to it. I was a kid!"

Meester will return to TV this fall with ABC's new series Single Parents. We hope she finds this environment to be a lot healthier! 

Justin Theroux Broke His Silence on His Split from Jennifer Aniston

Since Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux ended their two-year marriage in February, Theroux has remained relatively silent about the split. But in a recent interview with The New York Times, the actor finally opened up about what happened, and how he and Aniston are still "best friends." 

"The good news is that was probably the most—I'm choosing my words really carefully—it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity," Theroux said. 

He later added, "Again, neither one of us is dead, neither one of us is looking to throw hatchets at each other. It's more like, it's amicable. It's boring, but, you know, we respected each other enough that it was as painless as it could be."

Naturally, the split was still "heartbreaking,"— but "only in the sense that the friendship would not be the same, as far as just the day to day."

Theroux continued, "But the friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we're both very proud of."

Aniston also recently discussed the breakup. "The misconceptions are 'Jen can't keep a man,' and 'Jen refuses to have a baby because she's selfish and committed to her career.' Or that I'm sad and heartbroken," she said in an interview with InStyle. "First, with all due respect, I'm not heartbroken. And second, those are reckless assumptions."

The former couple initially announced their split with a joint statement: "In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship. Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else's fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."

There's a 'Ghosted' Halloween Costume & I Feel So Seen

Ghost Halloween costumes are nothing new — what's more classic than a sheet with two holes cut out? — but thanks to a term that's recently risen in popularity, there's a new costume that combines the horrors of both ghosts and getting ignored. 

Yes, there's really a "Womens Ghosted Costume," courtesy of Party City. The website's description says it all, really: "If someone's blowing up your phone, ghost them in a Ghosted Costume for women! The costume is a hooded white dress designed to look like a ghost with a series of unanswered texts on the front." 

ICYMI, "ghosting" is basically ending a relationship by cutting off all communication without any explanation. 

The costume is $24.99 — a small price to pay for being hashtag relatable. 

Twitter (as always) had mixed reactions. 

Ellen Pompeo Hinted at the End of 'Grey's Anatomy'& I'm Already Crying at the Thought

Even though some people find themselves shocked that Grey's Anatomy is still making new episodes, for fans, the mere thought of the show ending is upsetting. Ahead of this week's season 15 premiere, Ellen Pompeo spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what to expect, other castmembers, and more — including the dreaded end of the show.

EW asked Pompeo if she sees herself sticking with the show beyond season 16, which her current contract runs through. "I’m clearly not prepared right now to make any formal announcement about what my future is on the show, but I am really feeling like we have told the majority of the stories that we can tell," she said. "It’s about time that I mix it up. I’m definitely looking for a change."

Pompeo has been the show's star (Meredith Grey) since the first season, which aired in 2005. This means that it'll be hard to continue the show without her. She previously told Us Weekly that any decision she makes regarding Grey's will be made with the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes. 

But even Rhimes has moved on from Grey's. She ended up handing off her showrunning duties to Executive Producer Krista Vernoff. Rhimes still plans to return to write the final episode, though.

"I have written the end of the show at least six times," Rhimes told EW. "But we just don’t end. Every time I thought, ‘This is how the show should end,’ we’ve gone past those moments, so I’ve stopped trying. I have no idea now."

Season 15 of Grey's premieres September 27 on ABC.
