Although Kesha dropped all charges against Dr. Luke after many years, her battle isn't over.

Kesha's ex-producer, Lukasz Gottwald, wants to release more than 900 pages of the singer's medical records he obtained in an effort to disprove Kesha's allegations of abuse.

“Because Kesha made public accusations and in the case that she was allegedly harmed by Dr. Luke, the Court ordered her to produce her medical records," Dr. Luke's attorney, Christine Lepra, told People. "Now, Kesha wants to hide her records, while continuing to make self-serving, selective and misleading statements to hurt my clients publicly.”

Kesha has been trying to take her mind off Dr. Luke, and her lawyers rightfully say that releasing the records would leave Kesha vulnerable to the harm he's trying to continue causing her.

"Ms. Sebert now fears that Gottwald will seek to disclose and disseminate her personal medical records in an attempt to embarrass and harass her," her attorney, James Pearl, said in the appeal. "The files include gynecological, psychiatric and rehab records going back 10 years. Sebert worries they could become 'public fodder.'"

We don't blame her. Can we just leave her alone, and keep her medical records private—as they should be?

Divergent series actress Shailene Woodley was arrested Monday during a protest at the construction site of the Dakota Access Pipeline in Bismarck, North Dakota. Woodley streamed her arrest on her Facebook page.

“But why am I being arrested and no one else here is?” Woodley asked. “Is it because I’m famous? Is it because people know who I am?” (The officer confirmed that yes, she'd been "identified.")

Woodley posted a $500 bond and was released from Morton County Jail a few hours after she was brought in. She was taken in on charges of criminal trespassing and engaging in a riot—both are misdemeanors that could result in a $1,500 and up to 30 days in jail. In an interview with E! News, Woodley's lawyer said, "She appreciates the outpouring of support, not only for her, but more importantly, for the continued fight against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline."

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has been protesting the $3.7 billion, 1,170 mile pipeline because it runs through half a mile of the tribe’s reservation and could contaminate water supplies if the pipeline were to break.

A petition on Change.org titled Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline by Anna Lee, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, states that if the contruction of the Dakota Access Pipeline isn’t stopped, then “it will poison our river and threaten the health of [the] community when it leaks.”

According to the Dakota Access Pipeline’s FAQ page on their website, “Underground pipelines are the safest mode of transporting crude oil.”

On Oct. 10, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s appeal to block the pipeline. Despite the court’s ruling, Dave Archambault II, the chairman of the tribe, told ABC news that the tribe is “going to continue to fight. We will look at all of our legal options moving forward."

Despite months-long efforts to put an end to the project, construction on the $3.7 billion Dakota Access Pipeline is still going strong as of this weekend, The New York Times reports. Native Americans from the nearby Standing Rock Sioux Reservation are at the head of the protests against the pipeline, and they're in it for the long haul—they've constructed shelters and are preparing for a cold winter by handing out blankets and coats.

Last month, the U.S. government intervened in the battle over the project, temporarily blocking the pipeline, which is meant to span 1,170 miles, from crossing under the Missouri River. Tribal and environmental activists have claimed that the pipeline threatens water supplies for tribes along the river, and that its construction will destroy tribal burial grounds and sacred cultural lands.

This past Sunday, a federal appeals court rejected the Standing Rock Sioux’s request for an injunction against the pipeline, allowing construction to continue. The tribe has sued the federal court, using the argument that it wasn’t consulted about how the route of the access would affect their ancestral land.

On Monday, near St. Anthony, N.D., protesters gathered to pitch a tepee beside a section of the pipe. They had one very high-profile member present—actress Shailene Woodley. Twenty-seven people, including Woodley, were arrested at the protest, bringing the total to around 130 since the protests began this summer, the Times reports.

According to the BBC, Woodley and the other 26 protesters were arrested on charges of criminal trespass and engaging in a riot. Woodley broadcast the footage, and said that she was grabbed while walking back to her car. She believed she was being arrested because of her fame.

USA TODAY reports that she was released the same afternoon, following a $500 fine and a scheduled court date. 

Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Moll has been working almost nonstop since summer, and has seen protesters lock themselves to construction equipment or charge deputies on horseback, the Times reports. He says they're trying hard to keep protests from turning violent, though protesters have always maintained that they are peaceful.

The impending winter and many arrests are not holding anybody back, though. Protesters are arriving every day, with fundraisers and plans assuring the arrival of even more in the days and weeks to come.

Chances are, you've been waiting for an Enchanted sequel ever since the original came out in 2007—and we don't blame you. Turns out, the new movie has been in the works for years, and we're finally getting some details about it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is called Disenchanted. Wait, what? Is this movie just going to make us sad???

The sequel picks up 10 years after Enchanted, and Princess Giselle finds her life in Andalasia to be a bit different than she expected. Amy Adams is expected to star again, but neither she nor Patrick Dempsey, who played Giselle's love, Robert, have officially signed on.

We can't wait to see what this movie has in store—it's been too long since the original came out.

We’re used to see Kendall Jenner strutting down runways, dazzling us with her selfies and posing in front of the camera. As if she wasn’t already model wonder woman enough, Jenner has some major shooting skills too.

In July she took portraits of Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber for Love magazine, and will be shooting for them in again this upcoming issue. The best part of this? Kendall Jenner could be photographing you.  

That’s right! Jenner will be photographing an unknown model and the only thing you have to do for the application is post a selfie on social media.

Get your cameras ready ladies––you definitely won’t want to pass up this opportunity.

Just when you think election news can’t get any more ridiculous, 50 Shades of Grey has been brought into the picture. Scottie Nell Hughes, a Donald Trump supporter, has blamed the novel, the movie Magic Mike and other similar media for Trump’s completely inappropriate comments in a recently leaked video from 11 years ago, in which he described using his fame as an excuse to grab women "by the pussy.”

Cosmopolitan reports on the clip from a CNN segment, where Hughes claims that media like this have created a culture which makes it acceptable for men to speak the way Trump and Billy Bush did in the video. She says that because nobody else was on the bus, and because they were only talking but not acting, that the situation was essentially harmless—never mind that Trump was referring to times in the past when he allegedly did engage in this type of behavior.

For those, like Hughes, who evidently have no idea what they’re talking about, allow us to make one thing perfectly clear: it does not matter how famous, rich, or pretty you may (or may not) be. Touching anyone without their permission is sexual assault, and your celebrity status does not excuse you. Works of fiction and entertainment do not excuse you (Also? Not a single book or movie she mentioned did not exist 11 years ago).

Hughes went on to turn the tables on Clinton, saying that she does not stand up for other women and that illegal immigrants have caused more harm to women than sexual assault has.

Ana Navarro, a GOP consultant, blasted Hughes, calling her comments “50 shades of crazy” for comparing the presidential race to an erotic novel.

The Los Angeles Timesreports that Joe Walsh, a conservative radio host, also brought 50 Shades of Grey into play.

The Twitterverse did not disappoint as far as responses go.

Maybe one of these days, we can all learn to think before we speak.

Enter to Win the Ultimate Game Day Accessory

College may only last four years, but a lot can change from the time you step on campus as a clueless freshman to when you leave and enter the “real world.” Every year of college is a different experience, and you don’t want to be unprepared for the new challenges of each year, whether it be frat houses or job interviews. We’ve got you covered with some staples so that you can look the part every year.  

Freshman Year

Frat flats

Fraternity houses are notoriously disgusting, however they are a necessary evil for the freshman (and beyond) party scene. You really don’t want to wear your Tory Burch sandals or club heels there, so a cheap pair of ballet flats normally does the trick.

Mossimo Black Ona Flats, $16.99

A practical backpack

Backpacks kind of seem like a nerdy thing to care about, but honestly they’re super necessary in order to be a functioning college student. You can always go with something trendier, but honestly a nice, sturdy backpack will be more comfortable and more practical for day-to-day classes.

Dakine Jewel 26L Backpack in Wallflower, $75

Sophomore Year

Sweatpants

Let’s face it, the sophomore slump is very real. You’ve already been in school for a year, so you’re kind of over trying to impress everyone. No shame in being comfy though. For this year of laziness, a nice oversized pair of sweatpants is essential.

Victoria’s Secret PINK Campus Pant, $46.95

Cross-body bag

Sophomore year is also when you’re confident enough to step up your going-out game. That means you’ll need a cross-body to keep all your items secure and close by.

AEO Tassel Mini Crossbody Bag, $14.99

Junior Year

Pencil skirt

Time to become an actual adult and get an internship, which means you’ll need to buy some uncomfortable but necessary work attire, i.e. a pencil skirt. After all, nothing says “I’m a young career-oriented adult” like shopping at Banana Republic.

Banana Republic Crossover Canvas Pencil Skirt, $78.00

Going-out heels

Junior year is also usually the year you turn 21, which means more bars and clubs for you. While you might already have some heels for going out, you’re going to need a new pair that tells the world you’re a legal adult.

Steve Madden Roebella Pump in Black Nubuck, $109.95

Senior Year

A mature LBD

Skin-tight bandage dresses are a no-go if you’re trying to be taken seriously in the world, but you have to have some kind of an LBD. As an up-and-coming young professional, you’ll need a little black dress that can transition from interviews to going-out effortlessly. Throw a blazer over it and you can meet with companies, but wear some funky heels and you’ll blend in at a bar.

ASOS Y.A.S. Pencil Dress, $89

A work bag

Despite your best efforts, you can’t stay in college forever and eventually you’ll need to invest in a career bag. You may want to go ahead and buy the classic briefcase, but there are a lot of briefcase-esque bags that can also serve the same purpose, but look way trendier.  

ZARA City Bag with Charm, $49.90

It's time to come to grips with the fact that you're the stress eater of your friend group if these 15 things are true.

1. When you get home at 2 a.m. from a night out, you're the first one to crack open the fridge.

2. You prolong the conversation after dinner so you can procrastinate and eat dessert instead of going back to your homework.

3. When you're having a cozy movie night in, your friends roll over candy wrappers while laying on your bed.

4. During finals week, when everyone else is enjoying their egg whites and avocado, you're pigging out on pancakes and bacon because that's your brain food.

5. When you take a break from stressing about your schoolwork and go out to lunch, your friends take half of their sandwich home because "that's dinner tonight." You're staring at an empty plate that used to be filled with fries and thinking about what you're going to order on your pizza tonight.

6. You have to make weekly trips to the grocery store because you run out of food much quicker than your housemates.

7. Your excuse for barging in the door and heading for the Ben and Jerry's is "It's been a rough day" or "I'm just so stressed—I need this!" or "I took two tests today—I deserve this!"

8. You never understand the phrase, "I was just so stressed I couldn't eat."

9. You plan your studying around meals.

10. You reward yourself after certain homework accomplishments with the best trophy: food. 

11. Even better, you place candies periodically through your textbook to reward yourself for reading…and sometimes say, "Screw it, I'm hungry," and eat them all immediately. 

12. When people try to plan group project meeting times near meal times, you're like, "Will there be food there? Otherwise, I'm out." 

13. During crazy, stressful times such as midterms and finals, you can't distinguish between hatred of group members, panic for an upcoming test or just straight-up hunger. 

14. You take eating-your-feelings-away to a whole other level. 

15. Stressed spelled backwards is hungry, right? 

Being passive-agressive is a blessing and curse. On the plus side, you always look calm, kind and supportive, and people can't get enough of you. Little do they know that inside you're a salty bitch who never lets go of grudges and wants to watch the world burn. If you embraced conflict, you know life would be so much easier…but you can't. Being passive-agressive AF is just your style. 

1. You mask your resentment with a smile

2. You can’t ever have a meltdown because your image is too important

3. If someone confronts you through text message, you pretend you never saw it

4. There’s no such thing as a direct answer

5. Even though you avoid confrontation, you’re always feeling salty

6. Your name is written on all your food to keep your roommates from eating it

7. You’re basically the queen of passive-aggressive notes

8. Revenge is your middle name

9. You’re subtly bitchy, but deny it

10. Which is why you relate to Taylor Swift, the most passive-aggressive person in the world

11. You keep changing your Netflix password so your friends can’t use it

12. You only give roundabout compliments

13. You keep score, especially with the people you love most

14. You bump the back of people’s seats in movie theaters if they’re bothering you

15. Nobody understands the art of manipulation like you and Regina George

16. You’ve 100 percent left someone out of plans on purpose

17. If someone near you is chewing loudly, you chew louder

18. You tweet melancholy quotes so all your friends indirectly know just how upset you are

19. When you do ~finally~ reach your aggression limit, you explode

Halloween is not only great for candy and themed parties, but it’s also a great way to spend time with your roomie. Looking to take your roommate bonding to a new (and more creative) level? Try one of these roommate Halloween costume ideas!

1. Piper and Alex from Orange Is the New Black

Orange Is the New Black completely exploded last year, so Halloween is the perfect opportunity to go as a prisoner without having to pick that overused pinstriped jail costume. Try this costume from Spirit Halloween. Brownie points if one of you wears a pair of black, thick-rimmed glasses to channel Alex!

2. Hannah and Marnie from Girls

girls

If you’re up on pop culture and want to be two millennials for Halloween, you and your roomie could dress up (and act) like the ever anxiety-ridden Hannah and Marnie from Girls!

For Hannah, dress up in your favorite hipster duds: loafers, colorful prints, a baggy T-shirt and high-waisted pants. For Marnie, channel your most chic and put-together self! Wear a body-hugging dress, heels and your hair slicked back in a clean ponytail.

3. Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner

Dressing up as Hollywood’s biggest divas is a great excuse for you to act sassy and get dressed up in something sexy, especially if you’re going to be Kim. Some key pieces you should definitely include in your costumes are large sunglasses, oversized handbags, at least one item with animal print and high heels. If you’re going as Kim, wear a bodycon dress or really any outfit that hugs your curves. If you’re going as Kris, be sure to wear some big hoop earrings. Kudos if you manage to find a prop to act as little North.

4. Max and Caroline from 2 Broke Girls

Max and Caroline are a great duo to dress up as. You and your roommate may be best friends, just like they are, and you both may also be on a budget! To channel Max and Caroline in their signature diner uniforms, you can either purchase a waitress costume or try and scrounge up one from your closets. An oversized yellow T-shirt or dress paired with a red apron made from a towel would work.

5. Betty and Wilma from The Flintstones

betty and wilma flintstones

This costume idea is a great excuse to show a little skin while dressing up as a blast from the past! You can make your own costumes from scratch or find outfits for both Betty and Wilma at a costume store.

6. Tina and Louise Belcher from Bob’s Burgers

You don’t have to be siblings to go out as Tina and Louise this Halloween, as long as you both do your best to nail the kooky girls’ mannerisms (Tina’s classic moan!). Louise’s most classic feature is her bunny-ears hat, but she’s best known for her shrill voice. Tina’s outfit is pretty easy to put together – a blue T-shirt and a navy skirt — so that gives you the chance to focus on conveying her awkwardness!

7. Elsa and Anna from Frozen

If you and your roommate experienced (or are still experiencing) Frozen fever, this costume idea is a no-brainer for you two. Whether you want to go all out and match every single part of the duo’s costumes or you just want purchase certain pieces, like a wig or a sparkly dress, don’t worry, because there are plenty of options out there.

What are you and your roommate dressing up as for Halloween?

YES to inclusion! Yesterday, CoverGirl announced their first-ever male ambassador, 17-year-old James Charles, whose love of makeup landed him the groundbreaking new role. 

"I was shook and didn’t believe it at first," he said in an interview with Cosmopolitan.com about the moment he found out. "When I found out it was a real opportunity, I literally screamed and then cried, I was so excited."

It's a highly coveted role—James will be appearing in ads alongside Katy Perry, and his partnership includes the launch of CoverGirl's So Lashy! mascara.

James told Cosmopolitan.com that it was his love of drawing and all things creative that made him pursue makeup in the first place. As for where he picked those skills up? "YouTube videos and practice have taught me all I know," he claims. But even with over 430k followers, he isn’t always able to escape the inevitable haters. He doesn’t spend time caring about it though: “I’ve got way more important things to worry about!” Yeah, like starring in CoverGirl shoots alongside Katy Perry.

It's no surprise that his fierce attitude and flawless talent got him recognized by CoverGirl. His bold personality and fearlessness is exactly what made the makeup giant so excited to bring him on board.

“All of our CoverGirls are role models and boundary-breakers, fearlessly expressing themselves, standing up for what they believe, and redefining what it means to be beautiful,” CoverGirl revealed in a press release. “James Charles is no exception. One year ago, he boldly chose to launch his Instagram to the world, using transformative, dynamic makeup looks to showcase the many facets of his personality, serving as an inspiration to women, men, guys and girls who might have been afraid to do the same.”

Follow James's #COVERGIRLJames journey at @JCharlesBeauty—and don’t be surprised if you have major makeup-envy.

Senior year can be hard, especially if your senioritis has set in. It's difficult to focus in class, homework seems so unimportant, and all you want to do is spend time with friends. Plus, college is so close that you just want to pack up the car and get there already. But, your final year of high school is important, so it’s essential to stay focused and involved. Here are some tips to finish strong, even if you’re ~so~ over high school. 

1. Keep up the hard work that got you here

You’ve worked too hard for over three years to let things go now. Keep your head up and your planner updated! Stay on top of assignments and tests to keep your grades up ––remember: your future college can still revoke your admission if you let you’re grades go too much.

Jessica Albano*, a collegiette who graduated from high school in 2011, says she and her classmated suffered from serious senioritis. "I was an AP/honor student in high school, which basically means I had the same 30 kids in all of my classes," Jessica says. "Collectively, we developed senioritis and caused a bit of havoc. We switched dates of exams and papers to extend our procrastination time because if 30 kids said the date was different than the one the teacher said, how could she/he possibly think we all made a mistake? We also would decide on food party days and just have pot lucks and bring in movies to class and surprise the teacher."

Some of Jessica's friends even stopped doing homework and taking exams. "One of my friends told me that her physics class always curved all their exams," she says. "For the final exam, the seniors showed up, wrote their names on the papers and handed them in blank knowing they'd still pass." This is the epitome of senioritis. 

2. Make the most of your time with your family

Sure, you’ve been waiting 18 years to get out of your town, your house and away from your family. However, once you move away next fall, you’re going to miss having your family right there at all times. You’ll miss having your mom do your laundry or your dad killing spiders or your siblings bugging you to no end. Plan a family movie or game night every couple of weeks and make the most of the time you have left with your family under the same roof. 

Shannon Nolan, a 2014 graduate of Tinley Park High School, misses her mom while at school and wishes she had spent more time with her when she lived at home. Now, she visits home whenever she can just to get some mother-daughter time in. "I ditched a home game one weekend to have dinner and a wine night with my mom," she says. "As much as I'll miss football games, I'll miss nights in my jammies with her even more." Sometimes, family has to come first!

3. Knock things off of your high school bucket list

Is there a club you’ve always wanted to join at your high school? Is there a store in your hometown that you’ve been dying to shop in? Is there a fancy restaurant downtown that’s gotten amazing reviews? Join the club! Go shopping at the store with your sister! Hit up the restaurant with your besties! These places won’t be within reach once you leave for school, so take advantage of the opportunities you have to try new things right now.

Shannon's hometown is home to a major concert venue, and she never took advantage of it. "I've lived next to a concert venue for 21 years and have never snuck into a show," Shannon says. "Rascal Flatts, I'm coming for you!" Now, she has plans to take control.

4. Take advantage of your comfortable bed – and time to sleep!

Dorm beds aren’t the comfiest (to say the least), and college schedules don’t always allow a lot of time for sleep. While you can, take advantage of your bed at home and sleep as much as you can ––all-nighters and lumpy dorm mattresses aren’t that far off.

Audrey Wood, a 2014 graduate of Waukee High School, remembers getting very sentimental during her last couple of weeks at home before her freshman year of college. "I just kept thinking, 'What if this is the last time to go to THIS McDonald's? What if this is the last time I drive my car?'" she says. "I knew I was going to miss those things when I left." Taking advantage of homely comforts goes beyond your boxspring. While at school you'll miss your mom's home cooking, watching sports with your dad on the weekend and sharing clothes with your sister.

5. Spend plenty of time with your friends

Chances are, you aren’t going to the same school as all of your friends. Spend as much time with your friends as you can. You’ll miss grabbing coffee or lunch with them on weekends or breaks. In college, you’ll have to get used to relying on texting or FaceTime dates to communicate with them. Soak up all of them that you can!

Though you'll meet new friends in college, it's important to maintain the high school and home friendships you value. You can keep these friendships alive with effort, so be sure to talk about these things with your friends during your senior year. Whether you plan trips to visit one another, FaceTime dates or "open when" letters, enjoy your bestie time and make the most of it that you can!

6. Plan for your freshman year of college!

While it may be hard to get through the rest of high school, it only means that you’re excited for what comes next! Keep pinning to your “College Life” Pinterest board and chat with your roommate if you can. Freshman year is crazy and emotional and something totally new, but it’s also an exciting time. So, keep looking forward to it and planning it!

If you can, try reach out to your roommate or other future classmates. Your college probably has a designated Facebook page for incoming freshman for students to use to mingle. It will be fun to talk with other high school seniors who will be attending the same college as you about your excitement and worries about the upcoming year. More than likely they share your same feelings. Plus, it will be fun to get to know other students before you actually move to campus!

You may be so totally over high school, but don’t be too quick to move on. Eighteen years of your life were spent with your family and friends by your side ––you have a lot to owe to these places and people. While college is exciting and something to definitely look forward to, don’t forget where you’re coming from and what you have right now. 

*Names have been changed.

Dressing up as a cat for Halloween has become such a collegiette stereotype, right? If you’re wearing a latex catsuit, then definitely yes. So ditch that lame (and extremely uncomfortable) getup for one of these 4 ultra-chic cat ensembles.

For the cat lover of the bunch, the subtle meow-factor on this collared LBD is tops. A cute cat clutch and cat-eye shades hint at your obsession with felines, too. Frilly socks that play peek-a-boo at the top of your ankle boots and a floppy fall hat ensure a feminine edge.

Which of these looks is your fave, collegiettes?

After the drama of last season and of the season premiere, it was nice having The Mindy Project gang all back to normal. While Morgan got himself into some shenanigans while trying to form a nurse's union, we finally got to see a whole lot more of one of our favorite characters: Leo! 

Since Mindy turned down both Danny and Jody in the last episode, she's completely single as a pringle. However, this episode doesn't focus on that—although it does introduce a totally cute pediatric nurse that we wouldn't mind seeing in the future, *wink wink*. There's definitely a connection there, as Mindy inevitably forgets cute nurse's name and he forgives her for it anyways. In the end, he saves the day by helping out a sick Leo and giving Mindy some pretty good parenting advice. 

Even though there could be something between Ben the Nurse and Mindy, she spends this episode focusing on Leo, the main man in her life at the moment. Mindy's an awesome mom (although she has her ups and downs) so here are five times Mindy totally made us say, "this is me as a mom." 

1. She watches his favorite shows with him.

Whether it's "Entourage" or "Dora the Explorer," they can binge-watch anything together. 

2. She wants the best for him—including his own space.

When Jody tries to take away the apartment upstairs (AKA Leo's new room), Mindy does whatever she can to get it back. 

3. She's still getting used to the whole baby thing. 

Comforting a crying kid is totes hard, even for a mom. Also, Mindy, please don't put Advil in your baby's pancakes. 

4. She does embarrassing stuff for her kid's happiness.

Working as an on-call doctor for the midwives is Mindy's worst nightmare, but since it's the only way to get the money for Leo's baby room, she does what a mama has to do. 

5. She focuses on her son—even if it means ignoring hot guys.

We can't get over the adorable Nurse Ben and his baby skills, but we understand that right now, Mindy needs to focus on herself and her family, even if it means giving up staring at that beautiful single dad's face. 

Ugh, Leo. What a stud. 

Flashback to not so long ago when the news broke about Kylie Jenner’s lip injections. The world just about lost it. (Side note, what does it say about society when most of the population wants to tear a teenager down for her looks??) Flash forward to now, and Jenner’s explanation for why she started using lip fillers has us feeling like we can definitely relate.

In an interview for the October/November 2016 issue of Complex Magazine, Jenner says that her insecurity about her lips stems from when she was in middle school.

She told Complex, “This guy I kissed was like, ‘Your lips are really small but you’re a really good kisser. I didn’t think you were gonna be good at kissing. It was so rude. From then on, I just felt like I saw guys staring at my lips. I felt like no one wanted to kiss me.”

For someone like Jenner, who has been in the spotlight for a huge amount of her life, it’s almost surprising to hear how affecting comments like that can be—and it's refreshing to see how honest she can reflect on it now.

The lip kit guru also told Complex that she initially denied the lip injection rumors because of the responsibility she felt she carried, based on her place in the spotlight. “I didn’t want to be a bad influence. I didn’t want people to think you had to get your lips done to feel good about yourself,” she admitted. “But they thought it was crazier that I was lying about it because it was so obvious. I wish I had just been honest and upfront.”

Sometimes it can feel like the Kardashian-Jenner clan is so far removed from any sort of normal life—but it would do us all good to remember that words can hurt, famous or not.

On Wednesday night, We Will Rise: Michelle Obama's Mission to Educate Girls Around the World premieres on CNN. We Will Rise comes to us from the same team that developed the film Girl Rising three years ago, which followed nine girls from developing countries on their quest to follow their dreams.

We Will Rise focuses on one of the most important tools to help girls around the world take charge of their own lives: education. We forget that in some parts of the world, girls have to sacrifice so much to get to school, while others can only dream of weekly spelling quizzes and uncomfortable school uniforms. Getting an education is truly a privilege.

First Lady Michelle Obama has been a fearless advocate for girls around the globe who are fighting for the right to education. FLOTUS' Let Girls Learn Initiative campaigns for female equality and empowerment in developing countries, where certain cultures and customs prevent girls from receiving the proper education that they deserve. Let Girls Learn (and Her Campus) recognize that there are over 62 million girls worldwide who do not have access to education. 62 million girls who risk becoming victims in a cycle of poverty and violence. 62 million girls who just want to learn.

In an article for CNN, Michelle Obama wrote, "A few years ago, when I had the honor of meeting Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head just for trying to go to school, this issue got really personal for me." 

The film chronicles her travels, along with celebrities Meryl Streep and Frieda Pinto, to Liberia and Morocco, where they met many school-aged girls. In discussing their dreams of being doctors and teachers, the first lady wrote, these girls revealed the adversity they faced in trying to get a good education—from dangerous commutes to school and families suffering from poverty to cultural pressures to be married and have children. We Will Rise places the viewer as characters in these girls' stories, in order to understand the difficulties they face every day to get something most of us take for granted.

CNN Films' We Will Rise: Michelle Obama's Mission to Educate Girls Around the World premieres Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. on CNN.

With Halloween right around the corner, the rush is on to find the best costume. Or better yet, one for each night of Halloweekend! You don’t want it to be too scandalous or expensive – hello college budget – but you definitely want it to be original or at the very least, somewhat clever, so you’ve probably already started brainstorming with your friends. Will it be a classic twist on iconic Disney cartoons? Maybe your favorite character from a must watch show? Or, perhaps, a scarier costume that satisfies your horror-film obsession?

We know how difficult it can be to find the perfect costume, but maybe Halloween makeup doesn’t have to be as stressful. These tutorials will help to inspire your artistic side and hopefully your wardrobe choice too!

1. Fairy Makeup

This magical forest fairy look will have you wishing you could wear this makeup every day. Blue eyeshadow with sparkly accents? Yes please. We love the added jewels as the finishing touch but you can easily make this look unique in your own way too.

2. Masquerade Makeup Mask

Throwback to all the drama that occurred at the masquerade ball in Gossip Girl. This look will always be mysterious yet alluring and now you can try it out yourself! Who knows, maybe you’ll even find your very own Chuck Bass in disguise.

3. Werewolf Makeup

The yellow contacts definitely bring this look to a whole new level of scary. The hairy face might not be your ideal look, but the teased hair is a must. Simple enough to create, this is a great makeup idea for those who like to live a little more dangerously.

4. Classic Skull Mouth

There are so many different ways to create this popular look. The smoky eye and winged liner give it that daring edge you need for Halloween. Make this skull mouth your own by playing around with the design and don’t be afraid to ask your friends for help!

5. Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad

Are you always wishing you were a bit more tan? Well this could be the perfect look to embrace your pale skin. It’s also a great way to unleash your inner crazy self - you know you want to. And if you haven’t seen Suicide Squad yet, you’re missing out!

6. Mermaid Makeup

Need we say more? Mermaids have intrigued us since we were little girls and now we get the opportunity to look like one – hell yeah! The shiny scales are by far our favorite part of this look.

7. “Hooked” Mermaid Makeup (for a scarier look)

This is a slightly morbid twist on the mermaid makeup; it’s not your typical Little Mermaid look. A mermaid caught by a fishing hook isn’t something we’d want to see IRL, but it’s definitely a look we’d want to try! Deceivingly beautiful, what could be better?

8. Halloween Pumpkin

This tutorial is for all you Halloween fanatics. A classic Halloween pumpkin that you can make as scary or as pleasant as you wish. The all-over orange look may seem a tad distasteful but this tutorial shows you how to really make your features pop!

9. Peppermint Princess

Every woman wants to be treated like a princess, so why not be a peppermint princess? It reminds us of Candy Land too, which is another reason to get excited about it. This chilling look can be made even more fun by adding lots of glitter and bright colors! 

We wish you all the best of luck in your costume decision-making. Don’t be afraid to try something new and be daring with your makeup! The outcome will surely be greater than you expect if you follow along with these tutorials.

Sometimes you want something so bad that you trick yourself into believing it’s within reach. Like being able to afford traveling the world, eventually marrying Zac Efron and kicking ass at this whole adulting thing. Unfortunately, most of your cash is going to student loans, your dating record consists of Tinder creeps and this whole “adulting” thing is kicking your ass instead. Here are some other ways that you probably convince yourself you’ve got it all together, when that couldn’t be further from the truth.  

1. You put on pants multiple days in a row.

Well, you had work (AKA no choice), but still, that has to count for something.

2. You carry a planner with you at all times.

Even though it's mostly filled with doodles instead of to-do lists.

3. You own (and sometimes even wear) workout clothes…

But don’t actually work out in them.

4. You pride yourself on never leaving your place without a book or magazine.

Girl, you know the most you read on a daily basis is the label on your Starbucks order.

5. You plan a bunch of productive activities.

Like: eating, sleeping and finally catching up on Luke Cage. 

6. You made your bed this morning.

Which may explain why you ended up jumping right back into it and napping for three hours.

7.You drink wine out of an actual glass, rather than a cup.

Oh you fancy, huh?

8. You reduce clutter by placing crap in random places.

How else would seven bobby pins and a voodoo doll of your ex end up in your laundry bin?

9. You’re not ashamed of inviting friends over, despite your messy room.

Even though everyone jokes that it looks like a set piece from Stranger Things.

10. You figure that a healthy meal cancels out eating an unhealthy snack.

Green smoothie for breakfast? You deserve an entire sleeve of cookies as a reward!

11. You enjoy baking, which makes you totally domesticated.

It also gives you an excuse to eat raw cookie dough like the wild, sweet-toothed animal you are.

12. You make it a point to donate items you don't want anymore.

Giving back feels good…and so does making room for the things you DO want.

13. You post about any social gathering you went to recently.

Truthfully, you only bothered to go because you knew there'd be cute people and free food.

14. You can make takeout last for more than a week.

If that doesn’t make you a superhero, you don’t know what will.

15. Most of your clothes smell clean even though you haven’t washed them.

Then again, you've probably adjusted to the scent of filth and laziness.

16. You’ve convinced yourself that drunk-bar dancing counts as cardio.

Pouring in shots while pouring out sweat. It's a win-win.

17. You occasionally update your LinkedIn profile.

Just not as much as you monitor your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat.

18. You own a beautiful, decorative plant.

But not a real one—otherwise that shit would die.

19. No one else knows your Netflix password.

You may not always drink responsibilty (see #16), but at least you date responsibly. 

20. You factor naps into your reccomended eight hours of sleep.

Your parents would be so proud.

21. You do lots of “work” in local coffee shops.

Which basically means: surfing the internet and people-watching while you inhale your macchiato.

22. You cut back on alcohol, excluding special occassions. 

Like happy hours, work events, watching the presidential debates…basically, perfect excuses to drink. 

23. Most of the produce you bought last week hasn’t died in your fridge yet.

This is why you only buy non-perishables like trail mix and chips SMH.

24. You can cook without burning the food…or yourself.

Even though nine out of 10 times you’ll say screw it and eat cereal instead.

25. You always manage to find lost items just in time.

It’s not your fault your wallet and keys grow legs and frequently run away from you.

26. You create a budget and stick to it…mostly.

You just can't resist a makeup palette that screams INGULDE at you.

27. You incorporate veggies into your diet.

If a pizza has spinach leaves and tomato sauce, that counts as a serving, right?

28. You prioritize important appointments.

Hair and nails today, doctor and dentist…eventually.

29. You’re easy to get a hold of.

Which means you get yelled at for always being on your phone. Sigh.

30. You don’t go to work with a hangover…often.  

This means you’re maturing into a real adult, right?

31. You match your bra with your underwear.

You’ve got to do something to make it seem like you have your shit together when you don’t.
