Wilmer Valderrama was one of many celebrities who marched in protest of gun violence across the country on Saturday at the March For Our Lives rally in Washington D.C. where his ex, Demi Lovato, performed an emotional rendition of her hit "Skyscraper."

The NCIS actor raved about Lovato's performance with Entertainment Tonight: "She's a hero to young men and women out there," he said. "I think that she's literally the image of recovery and getting their life together, so I'm excited that she's there and for this historic moment for young people too."

Valderrama added how excited he was to see many of his fellow Hollywood stars use their voices to speak out, even in the face of potential backlash.

"They used to tell us when we were young and entering the industry, 'Oh you're an actor, don't get involved in politics,'" he said. "But then you realize that politics affect policy and policy affects humankind. It's really interesting as citizens, as people in general, that you actually get involved. So I think that's why it's exciting to see that so many people are lending their voices, but most importantly, their platform for other people's voices, because we gotta just be amplifying the people's word and the people's spirit."

Valderrama even acknowledges that this generation of teens leading the way is more in tune with politics and the world than ever before.

"They have a tool that we never had growing up, which is the power of social media," he stated. "They're able to communicate to not only their immediate network, but they can actually make something trend. And it's cool, it's trendy to be an activist today. If you're not aware of what's happening, not only in your community but on a national level, when it's affecting you directly, you're not keeping up with your own generation."

"We're waking up to a generation that understands what needs to get done and is about to get it done themselves," he added.

Other stars including Amy Schumer, Paul McCartney, Amal and George Clooney, Connie Britton, Olivia Wilde, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, also participated in the marches throughout the country, while performers at the Washington D.C. march included Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Platt, Jennifer Hudson, Common, Vic Mensa, Andra Day, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus.

On Monday, the United States announced the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats, CBS News reports.This means that these diplomats have one week to leave the United States, and that the Russian consulate in Seattle will close.

Why are these diplomats expelled? The story begins on March 14, when Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter, Yulia, were poisoned with a Russian-made nerve agent on British soil. According to USA Today, “the United States joined a joint statement with the U.K., France, and Germany blaming Russia for the Skripal attack.” Russia, however, denied any involvement.

In response, several countries across the world expelled their Russian diplomats, in what British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson called “the largest collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers ever.” The United States, Britain, Canada, Ukraine, Germany, France, and Poland are among the over a dozen countries that have expelled their diplomats.

The White House released a statement Monday morning stating, “Today’s actions make the United States safer by reducing Russia’s ability to spy on Americans and to conduct covert operations that threaten America’s national security.”

You definitely want Tiffany Haddish in your corner.

In an interview with GQ, the Girls Trip star and comedienne elaborated on the story of her now-infamous selfie with Beyonce from last December, which she first detailed to Vulture.

After being asked about meeting Beyonce, Haddish told Vulture that their selfie came about in a... unique way.

"Okay, so what had happened was, something had went down with somebody at the party, right? I’m not at liberty to say what had went down at the party, but Beyoncé was just telling me to have a good time, and I was like, 'No, I’m gonna end up fighting this bitch!' She was like, 'No, have fun, Tiffany,' and I said, 'I’m only going to have fun if you take a selfie with me.'"

Now, Haddish is opening up about what exactly caused that almost-fight.

At the December soiree where she met Beyonce, Haddish claims that Queen B was bit by an actress, whom she later refused to name. It is also reported that Beyonce has people sign, or at least jokes about having people sign, Non Discolsure Agreements (NDAs) which Haddish could have violated by telling the story.

“There was this actress there that's just, like, doing the mostest,” Haddish told GQ. “She bit Beyoncé in the face.”

Haddish then stated that Beyonce ran to her husband, Jay-Z, and they both went to the other side of the room.

Confused, Haddish wondered what happened, and a friend of Beyonce's reportedly said, "Can you believe this bitch just bit Beyonce?"

The unnamed actress didn't stop her rampage of destruction there, says Haddish. She at one point told Haddish to stop dancing, causing Haddish to tell Beyonce, "I'm going to beat somebody ass at your party. I just want to let you know that.” 

After reiterating this sentiment, Beyonce told Haddish not to worry about fighting the actress, by reportedly saying that the actress was "on drugs" and didn't usually act that way. Haddish claims that Beyonce told her to have fun instead, which led to their selfie.

Beyonce's representative, Yvette Noel-Schure, told GQ that she could not respond to Haddish's claims because, "I have no knowledge."

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but now the selfie of Beyonce and Tiffany Haddish is worth a million words. The moral of the story? Don't bite Beyonce's face, and certainly don't mess with Tiffany Haddish.

It seems Meghan Markle has had more royal training than any of us ever could have imagined. 

When Prince Harry's bride-to-be was 8 years old back in 1990, she attended a birthday party for her pal Ninaki Priddy in Priddy's backyard. Priddy's mother recorded the event, which featured the kids taking part in creating a production called "Your Royal Highness," starring Markle in the role of the queen.

"'Your Royal Highness,' Take One." Markle says, before imitating a clapperboard. In the video, the soon-to-be real-life princess is shown wearing a red and white striped shirt, a skirt, and bright white sneakers, as she sits on a picnic blanket with some of the other kids around her. 

"Good evening your highness," one girl says as she bows to Markle. Another asks if there is anything to do around the kingdom, to which Markle responds, "Yes! Make 900,000 cookies and sew me a nice dress."

One party attendant asks what all the commotion around the party is about. "It's for this meeting I'm having," 8-year-old Markle explains. "I'm having people from Florida and Canada, Mississippi, Missouri." 

Markle then proceeds to give two girls from the party a time out for 10 minutes. Later in the video, Markle even fakes a British accent and wears a gold crown.

If this wasn't some type of indication of what lied in the future for the stunning actress, we don't know what is.

Easter is right around the corner and you know that means we’re about to eat all of the chocolate eggs and pastel candies. Have you ever wondered, though, if your neighbors are as obsessed with Cadbury eggs as you are? Or if your state is even eating them?

Lucky for us — and thanks to Mashable for clueing us in —Influenster just dropped a map of each state’s favorite Easter candy.

You’ll also want to check out Mashable’s list of which candies are good and which are bad.

Hello Giggles noted that Cadbury Egg did of course take the cake, being the most popular candy in these nine states: Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oklahoma, Hawaii, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington. It’s also clear that Reese’s in any form of the flavor are very popular around the country as well.

Is anyone else excited for the day after Easter when all the candy is 50 percent off? That's the highlight of the season, IMO.

Each spring, students at the University of Michigan have the opportunity to vote for candidates for Central Student Government (CSG). In debates, the candidates tackle important issues like diversity and food insecurity on campus.

However, this year, one candidate stood out from all the rest: His name is Reggie Bee, and although he wasn’t officially on the ballot, he got fourth place in the CSG 2018 Presidential Elections, with 1,403 votes as a write-in.

Oh, and a fun fact about Reggie? He’s a corgi.

Reggie is a *very* good boy, and he’s a trained therapy and service dog whose owner frequently takes him to walk around campus. Most students at U of M know him by name, and he’s about as iconic on campus as Jim Harbaugh himself. In fact, he has over 4,000 Facebook friends!

Reggie’s presidential campaign began in a private Facebook group for University of Michigan student-memers, where Reggie has long been a topic of conversation. As election season ramped up, students used memes to encourage each other to write-in “Reggie Bee” for CSG President.

Eventually, Reggie’s campaign had its own Facebook page, “Reggie Bee For CSG President.” Reggie’s page quickly became the most-liked page out of all of the CSG candidate Facebook pages.

On March 17, he posted, “I know many of you have been pressing me and my staff for a platform, but there is only one thing you all need to know is I will continue to bring happiness and joy to all of my Facebook friends/followers as well as the greater UMICH Community.  May Doggo boop you all and may Doggo boop the University of Michigan.”

The news about Reggie began to spread across the country, and the meme Facebook group continued to most memes encouraging one another to vote for Reggie.

However, Reggie’s campaign came to a sad end on March 21, when he resigned from his campaign and officially endorsed human candidates.

“Because some of my good human friends are ‘truly’ running for Student Government President, I've decided to ask all my friends to get out and Vote for Them,” he said in a Facebook post. “They deserve your support in their sincere desire to become leaders of the student body. I'm now returning to simply running with my little doggo friend.”

The University Elections Commission sent out an official email saying, "At least one write in candidate (who has four legs) is ineligible to hold office. As good of a boy as he might be, he is unfortunately not a student of the University of Michigan, and therefore cannot win an elected position."

Around this time, Reggie also began to receive pushback from memers in the Facebook group.

But when students are inspired to make campus good-er again, nothing can stop them. Despite Reggie’s resignation, students encouraged each other to write him in as a candidate as soon as the polls opened.

On Friday, March 23rd, The Michigan Daily announced that Daniel Greene and Izzy Baer had been elected CSG President and Vice President. After a long and exhausting campaign, Reggie had come in fourth place. But this isn’t the end for this good boy.

“What’s next? Encourage our electors to keep a happy face on students politics,” Reggie's people told Her Campus on Monday. “We have had suggestions to run for campus ambassador. We’ve learned to put the self interest of others above our own.”

Winning isn’t everything, and we’re excited to see this doggo make a positive change on campus.

We’ve all been there: it’s either the dead of winter and our heads are snowing more than it is outside, or it’s the heat of summer and our greasy locks reflect the sun. While we may think the best idea is to jump in the shower and give our hair another good shampooing, experts say we need to think twice about what shampoo we use to avoid potentially harmful effects to our hair and face.

Common misconceptions about shampoo use:

Once we get into the shower, less is more.

Stylists from Riccardo Maggiore Salon in New York, NY claim that we don’t need a lot of shampoo to cleanse our hair. “You can actually use too much shampoo or conditioner, making it harder to cleanse or condition the hair.” More effective shampoos are more concentrated, and you’ll be better off using a smaller volume, about the size of a quarter.

If it doesn’t lather, it’s not working.

If a shampoo isn’t lathering, don’t fret and change bottles! Better shampoos actually create less lather and are much gentler on hair.

You should rub your hair when you wash it.

Rubbing your hair can do more to hurt than help. While scrubbing your scalp can be okay, rubbing the ends of your hair harshly can stress and damage the hair, even affecting its texture and color.

What to look for when choosing shampoo:

While all wish we could wake up tomorrow morning with flawless hair, the hair we want often comes at the price of the right shampoo. The first step is identifying the problem. Whether it’s grease, dandruff, breakage, or something in between, there are tons of shampoos out there that can help treat specific hair issues. However, it’s also best to check with your hair stylist about what shampoo they think is right for you. Professionally prescribed shampoo may cost more money upfront, but will save haircare expenses in the long run.

“The right shampoo will keep your color beautiful longer and along with the right conditioner will keep your hair texture in better condition. Why splurge on your cut and color services then try to save on your shampoo and conditioner that can ruin the services you splurged on?” say stylists from Riccardo Maggiore.

If you’re still looking to buy shampoo from the store, you might want to avoid shampoos with sulfates (look for sodium lauryl sulfate on the back of the bottle). According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, while they're not unsafe, they might be too harsh for colored or chemically-treated hair. Some people with sensitive skin might also become irritated by this ingredient. 

Shampoos can also cause acne in common hair-to-skin contact areas: the hairline, upper forehead, jaw, sideburn area, or chest, shoulders, and back. If acne’s found its way into these areas, your best bet is to change up your shampoo to see if it’s the root of the problem.

If you think your shampoo is doing harm to your scalp or skin, switch to a milder shampoo product such as a baby shampoo or fragrance and color-free brands. Try looking for natural ingredients in shampoos like organic virgin coconut Oil shampoo ($8.99, Puritan's Pride) or Organic PRO moisturizing organic hair shampoo ($19.99, Nature's Organics). 

If you're really going for it, try to take a few days off from shampooing to reassess the situation. 

Shampoo brands to try

For those with dry scalp or dandruff, stylists at Riccardo Maggiore Salon suggest ORIBE Serene Scalp ($44, Beautylish). For those at the opposite end of the spectrum with oily hair and scalp, Bain Divalent ($43, Kérastase) works as a balancing shampoo for hair and roots.

For everything in between, hair stylist Jona Dean from New Karma Salon in Westchester, recommends Surface ($30.50, Beauty Care Choices), a “balancing shampoo that equalizes a greasy scalp and a dry scalp.” For a more mild cleaning shampoo with a squeaky-clean feel, try Biolage ($20.25, JCPenney). You might also want to try Function of Beauty--you can create your own custom shampoo based on your hair needs and preferences. 

Regardless of your hair type, color, or texture, examining the type of shampoo you use and the way you use it can help reach the hair (and skin) of your dreams. Happy scrubbing!

The March For Our Lives, which took place this past weekend, was a historic day for students, teachers, parents and people in general all across the United States. One of the most important aspects of the march was registering as many people from across the country as possible to vote. "Voting is the only way to pressure politicians to propose legislation that would meet the movement's demands, which include universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines,"NBC reports that the students at the Washington, D.C. march said.

Because registering to vote and voting are both huge ways to create permanent change, the March for Our Lives students partnered with HeadCount, which is a non-partisan organization that signs people up to vote. According toCNN, HeadCount reported signing up 4,800 new voters across the country at 30 different March for Our Lives events.

It’s super important for young people to get involved and vote. Did you know you can pre-register to do so at 16 and 17 years old?

Voting is one of the best ways to make sure your voice is heard through the political agendas and bullsh*t. If you haven't already, make sure you're registered!

On Monday afternoon, Deadline reported that Nickelodeon would be ending its decades-long relationship with TV series producer Dan Schneider. 

Schneider created and worked on shows like Drake & Josh, iCarly, Victorious, The Amanda Show, Sam & Cat, Zoey 101, and more.

"Following many conversations together about next directions and future opportunities, Nickelodeon and our long-time creative partner Dan Schneider/Schneider’s Bakery have agreed to not extend the current deal," Nickelodeon told Deadline. "Since several Schneider’s Bakery projects are wrapping up, both sides agreed that this is a natural time for Nickelodeon and Schneider’s Bakery to pursue other opportunities and projects."

Nickelodeon also thanked Schneider and his team for their "immeasurable contributions," and wished them well in their future endeavors. 

Despite the split between Nickelodeon and Schneider appearing amicable, it's rumored that there had been "multiple complaints of abusive behavior against Schneider filed by members of his staff," according to Deadline. 

Jeff Sneider, editor-in-chief of The Tracking Board, also reported on abusive complaints.

Nickelodeon has not yet commented on the abusive allegations.

On Sunday night, Stormy Daniels sat down with Anderson Cooper for a highly-anticipated 60 Minutes interview. The spotlight was on the porn star's alleged affair with President Donald Trump — one that Daniels was allegedly paid hush money for, by Trump's personal attorney, to keep quiet about.

Cooper initially noted that for even appearing on 60 Minutes, Daniels could be fined one million dollars. However, that risk obviously didn't stop her.

While she was perfectly fine with remaining silent, Daniels expressed that she was not okay with being made out to be a liar. She wants people to know that she is not a victim in this situation. When Cooper told Daniels that many people are using her for specific agendas, such as the #MeToo movement, Daniels got straight to the point:

"They're trying to," says Daniels. "Like, oh, you know, Stormy Daniels comes out #MeToo. This is not a 'Me Too.' I was not a victim. I've never said I was a victim. I think trying to use me to further someone else's agenda, does horrible damage to people who are true victims."

Daniels seemed to be motivated by one goal: to set the record straight. So, if you missed it, you're probably wondering: WTF happened?! Here's the breakdown. 

They met in 2006.

So, how did Daniels even meet Donald Trump? The 39-year-old actress, director and writer of adult films, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was introduced to Trump in 2006 at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. She revealed that he invited her to dinner, and later, she met him at his hotel suite and things took a different turn.

While Daniels described their initial conversation as mostly centered around Trump himself, she seemed to have brought out a different side when she asked if talking about himself "normally works" for him (i.e., is being self-absorbed a major kink of his?). Daniels took the magazine that Trump was showing her, featuring his image on the cover, and swatted Trump a few times on the behind with it in a joking manner. From that point on, Daniels describes that he was a "completely different person."

Daniels told Cooper, "You know, he was like, 'You're smart and beautiful, and a woman to be reckoned with, and I like you. I like you.'"

The pair had dinner in the room that night, where their conversation varied from Trump's show The Apprentice and whether Daniels would be interested in being a contestant, to wife Melania Trump and the fact that she had just recently given birth to their son. Trump brushed off the latter, noting that the two slept in separate bedrooms.

Daniels described that after their dinner, she used the restroom, only to come back to find Trump perched on the end of the bed. When asked about her thoughts, Daniels responded:

"I realized exactly what I'd gotten myself into. And I was like, 'Ugh, here we go.' [laugh] And I just felt like maybe, [laugh], it was sort of, I had it coming for making a bad decision for going to someone's room alone and I just heard the voice in my head, 'well, you put yourself in a bad situation and bad things happen, so you deserve this.'"

The pair had unprotected sex.

Cooper then confirmed with Daniels that the two had sex, pointing out that she was only 27 at the time, while Trump was 60. While Daniels noted that she was neither physically attracted to Trump nor wanted to have sex with him, she doesn't identify as a victim because she didn't say no.

While the absence of the word "no" doesn't indicate consent, Daniels confirmed with Cooper that the sex was consensual. Cooper asked if Trump had used a condom, as the use of protection and barrier methods in the adult porn industry can be an issue. Trump had not used a condom, and Daniels did not ask him to. In fact, she reveals that she didn't say anything. 

The two parted, and Trump expressed he hoped that Daniels would be willing to see him again, and that they would discuss what they had talked about earlier, which Cooper confirmed meant talking about being on The Apprentice. 

The two continued to stay in touch, and Daniels pointed out that Trump had never advised her to keep this a secret. Trump would even call Daniels, and while he gave her updates of being on The Apprentice, Daniels admitted that part of her didn't always believe it (and that Trump was just using it as a way to keep her coming back), but she thought of the potential opportunity as a business deal.

Trump attempted to continue their sexual affair.

In 2007, Trump asked Daniels to meet him in private again — this time at his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. While Trump said that discussing her appearance on The Apprentice was on the agenda, Trump instead kept her for hours watching a shark documentary during Shark Week. While the two didn't end up having sex, Daniels could tell sex was what Trump wanted by the way he was touching her hair and legs and referencing how great the last time was. So how did Daniels get out of having sex with Trump again?

"Well, I'd been there for, like, four hours," Daniels told Cooper. "And so I then was like, 'Well, before, you know, can we talk about what's the development?' And he was like, 'I'm almost there. I'll have an answer for you next week.' And I was like, 'Okay, cool. Well, I guess call me next week.' And I just took my purse and left."

The two never met again, as Daniels was informed by Trump a month later that he was not able to get her a spot on the show. In 2011, Daniels agreed to tell her story to In Touch for $15,000, but that story never ran, and Daniels was never paid. Two former employees of the magazine told 60 Minutes that Trump's attorney Michael Cohen threatened to sue after the magazine contacted Trump for comment.

Daniels was threatened by an unknown man.

A few weeks later, Daniels was threatened by a man in Las Vegas.

"I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter," Daniels said. "Taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, gettin' all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom.' And then he was gone."

Daniels didn't go to the police out of fear, but even to this day she swears she'd be able to recognize the man who threatened her if she saw him.

Trump's lawyer offered hush money following his presidential nomination.

A few months after this incident, a gossip website reported that Daniels had an affair with Trump. She publicly denied the story. The interview then fast-forwards five years later down the timeline, when Trump won the Republican nomination for president. This is where the hush money comes in. 

"Suddenly people are reaching out to me again, offering me money," Daniels said. "Large amounts of money. Was I tempted? Yes, I struggle with it. And then I get the call. 'I think I have the best deal for you.'"

Daniels reveals that her lawyer had called, and Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was offering $130,000 dollars for Daniels to sign a non-disclosure agreement. 60 Minutes said that Daniels signed the agreement 11 days before the election.

"I was concerned for my family and their safety," Daniels explained. While the money was a nice perk, Daniels wouldn't have to worry about her daughter finding out about the affair on the news, and she wouldn't have to worry about any danger or threats. While Cooper said that some people might be skeptical that Daniels was really concerned for her family by taking the money, she says all the proof she needs lies in her actions.

"I think the fact that I didn't even negotiate, I just quickly said yes to this very, you know, strict contract," Daniels explained. "And what most people will agree with me extremely low number. It's all the proof I need."

Not to mention, Daniels knows that if she really wanted money out of this whole situation, she could have made it by selling her story.

The Wall Street Journal published a story about the hush money in January 2018.

Fast-forward again to only a few months ago, in January 2018. 60 Minutes said that the Wall Street Journal published a story with anonymous sources about the exchange of hush money for silence between Cohen and Daniels.

Once the story was published, Daniels felt pressured to sign statements denying the affair with Trump, which she said were pushed on her by her former attorney and former business manager. Cooper asked Daniels, "You thought that there would be some sort of legal repercussion if you didn't sign it?" to which Daniels replied, "Correct. As a matter of fact, the exact sentence used was, 'They can make your life hell in many different ways.'"

The big problem here is the fact that this monetary settlement was made 11 days before the election, which 60 Minutes said may be against campaign finance laws. While Cohen said he used $130,000 of his own money to pay Daniels, Trevor Potter, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, told 60 Minutes he doesn't buy it. 

"It's a $130,000 in-kind contribution by Cohen to the Trump campaign, which is about $126,500 above what he's allowed to give," said Potter. "And if he does this on behalf of his client, the candidate, that is a coordinated, illegal, in-kind contribution by Cohen for the purpose of influencing the election, of benefiting the candidate by keeping this secret." And if Trump never paid Cohen back for this money, then this makes the situation even stickier for them both.

While Cohen did not respond to 60 Minutes for comment, he did respond to to both The New York Times and Vanity Fair, saying that he paid Daniels out of his own pocket. 

Michael Avenatti, Daniels' attorney, sees the situation as "ludicrous." 

"It's just a coincidence that, in the waning days of the campaign, he thought to himself, 'Oh, you know, I know I've been thinkin' about this for years. Perhaps now is a good time to get that NDA executed with Stormy Daniels,'" Avenatti told Cooper.

Daniels' attorney says this is all about threats, intimidation and covering up the truth.

Cooper and Avenatti continued to discuss Cohen's true motives behind this payment.

"This is about the cover-up," said Avenatti. "This is about the extent that Mr. Cohen and the president have gone to intimidate this woman, to silence her, to threaten her, and to put her under their thumb. It is thuggish behavior from people in power. And it has no place in American democracy."

Avenatti also drew attention to Cohen's recent court filing claiming Daniels is liable for damages "in excess of $20 million" due to violations of the agreement.

"You threaten someone, with a $20 million lawsuit, it's a thuggish tactic," said Avenatti. "It's no different than what happened in the parking lot in Las Vegas."

Avenatti is currently suing President Trump to declare the non-disclosure agreement as invalid because Trump never signed the agreement on the lines provided for his alias, "D.D.," David Dennison. Cohen, however, disagreed and said that only Trump's signature is required. He also said that the agreement required from Daniels all "video images, still images, email messages, and text messages" involving Trump. Daniels chose not to comment whether she complied, as her attorney recommends she doesn't discuss it.

Trump's attorney Charles Harder wrote a letter to 60 Minutes, requesting that they read on air one of the statements Daniels signed in January. 60 Minutes noted one part that read, "My involvement with Donald Trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more." 

Cooper asked Avenatti that if Daniels denied the affair in 2011, early January 2018 and late January 2018, what does that do to her credibility?

"I think there's no question that it calls into question her credibility," Avenatti explained. "I also think that there's no question that when the American people take all of the facts and evidence into consideration, that they are going to conclude that this woman is telling the truth. And Anderson, to the extent that Mr. Cohen and the president have an alternative version of the facts let them come forward and state it unequivocally."

Ultimately, he understands where Daniels was coming from.

"If the president of the United States' fixer made it clear to me, either directly or indirectly, that I needed to sign it, and I was in the position of Stormy Daniels, I might sign those statements," he said.

Daniels says that she felt intimidated and has no reason to lie.

And again, Daniels explained that she felt pressured.

"I felt intimidated and honestly bullied," said Daniels. "And I didn't know what to do. And so I signed it. Even though I had repeatedly expressed that I wouldn't break the agreement, but I was not comfortable lying."

Bottom line, Daniels points out that she has no reason to lie.

"I have no reason to lie," said Daniels. "I'm opening myself up for, you know, possible danger and definitely a whole lot of shit."

The Huffington Post reports that Daniels' interview with 60 Minutes earned their highest ratings in nearly 10 years. Excerpts that didn't air can be watched below.

It seems as though there's been rumors about a romance between Riverdale co-stars Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse ever since the show's premiere. The two have managed to neither confirm nor deny a relationship in the past, but things got awkward over the weekend when they were directly asked about it — on tape.

During a Riverdale Q&A at PaleyFest, an audience member used her opportunity with the microphone to say, "Cole and Lili, there’s been a lot of rumors of you guys dating. Are you dating?"

The second part of the girl's remark — the actual question — was harder to hear, and Cole initially only responded to her lead-up.

"Was that the question or a statement, because you're right," Cole said of the rumors.

Madelaine Petsch, however, heard everything. "That is such an inappropriate question," she said. Meanwhile, Lili appeared embarrassed as she smiled and covered her face.  

Cole's response apparently wasn't good enough for the audience member. She then yelled, "Are you dating?"

"No comment," Cole replied in a throaty voice. He was smiling awfully big. 

The audience seemed to like his answer as it sent them into screams and claps. 

Though Cole definitely took the awkward moment in stride, I'm with Madelaine — it was an inappropriate question, especially for the setting. Props to you, Cole!

Your resume is the first thing a potential employer sees, so standing out is crucial. However, for many collegiettes, overcompensating for lack of work or school experience by filling up a resume with meaningless credentials can lead to a dead-end road for the job hunt. Therefore, taking the extra time to craft and critique what is valuable and what is not valuable on your resume will truly set you apart, and might even land you your dream job. Here are five things that should no longer be on ­your resume.

1. High school experiences

It can be easy to fill up your resume with extracurricular activities from high school, but if you’re applying for a job in journalism, your future employer will not care if you played JV golf when you were 17. Instead, focus on relevant activities from college, which for some may include coursework.

Lindsey Allen, a junior at University of New Haven, notes, “When I applied for a journalism job, I used the space on my resume to put all of the journalism and communications classes that I took. I feel like employers are more impressed with that, than if I wrote down that I was a contributing writer for my high school newspaper my sophomore year.” Use this space to showcase particular classes you excelled in, this will give future employers a better idea of who you are and your areas of interest.  

Courtney Pearson, the Career Development Specialist for the College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, says,“My response would depend on the student and whether they were involved during college.  For a student who had at least one internship, had a part-time job, was involved in student organizations, did community services/volunteer work, I would say there would no need and most likely no space in a one page resume to include coursework taken during college.  For a student who wasn’t as involved in college, I would recommend to the student to include relevant coursework/courses taken and to include a skills section to highlight their knowledge of different software platforms, social media, theories, etc.”

2. Personal information

While this may seem like a no-brainer, including personal information that does not pertain to the job you are applying for, like your gender, marital status and religion, can be too much for an employer. The resume is the first phase of the hiring process, therefore, including your name, address and the best way to contact you, is as much information as one should give. Don’t get too personal, too soon.

Pearson adds, “For every student I work with, regardless of major, I suggest they include their contact information and any social media links or a link to their professional portfolio or LinkedIn. I of course stress to only include social media links, if their accounts are professional and updated. The same goes for their LinkedIn accounts and portfolio. Employers will Google you as a candidate anyway, but it looks better for the student, if they supply their social media links, willingly. I also discourage students from including anything more personal than what I mentioned above. Personal information like hobbies listed on a resume is unnecessary information for employers. Anything personal beyond contact information could come out in an interview or maybe be touched on in the cover letter, so long as it’s relevant to the position.”

3. Objective statement

You may be eager to fill up your resume, but decide if writing an objective statement is what is best for the position you’re applying for. Your resume should list your credentials and outline your work experience, while your cover letter is where you can explain in greater detail your objectives, goal, hopes and why you want the position. Amanda Goecke, a junior at Carthage College, recommends, “Double check with your school’s career services to decide whether or not an objective statement is necessary on your resume. I think it just comes down to what will work best for you.” Ultimately, it is your decision, but if you’re unsure, seek out advice from a professional.

4. A second page

We all know the overused phrase, “Less is more,” but it certainly applies to your resume. Keeping your work experience, contact information and credentials concise is crucial. Employers scan several if not countless resumes for a single position, therefore keeping everything to one page will keep their attention and not overwhelm them. Chelsea Jackson, a junior at Iowa State University, says, “Likewise, any experience that is irrelevant to the job you are applying to should be omitted from your resume.” Therefore, crafting your resume for the specific job you are applying for, will aid you in keeping to a one page limit and show your potential employer all your qualifications.

5. Typos

This is a major faux pas, and a mistake that might have your resume in the trash before it makes it way to the second round. Your resume represents your best self, and misspelled words or a missed comma, poorly reflects your attention to detail and accuracy. Pass your resume around to friends, family members and professors and let them edit it for you. Use this as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes, and fine tune your editing skills

Above all else, remember your resume is a reflection of yourself, so craft it in a way that best represents you. Good luck, collegiettes!

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.)

Linda Brown, the Student Who Was at the Center of Brown v. Board of Education, Passed Away at 76

Brown v. Board of Education ended legal segregation in American schools after nine-year-old Linda Brown was blocked from enrolling at an all-white school in Topeka, Kansas, and her father sued the Topeka Board of Education.

It was also in Topeka where Brown passed away on Sunday afternoon, CNN reports. 

Gunmaker Remington Files for Bankruptcy

Remington Outdoor — which, according to The New York Times, is one of the oldest firearm manufacturers in the U.S. — filed for bankruptcy on Sunday. 

The company is allegedly hundreds of million dollars in debt, and sales have continued to decline, TIME reports. 

A Remington AR-15 was used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, which prompted public outrage and a lawsuit from families of the victims.

Marvia Malik Just Became Pakistan's First Transgender News Anchor

Kohenoor News hired Malik, a recent journalism graduate, and her first broadcast was last week. According to the BBC, Malik was moved to tears by the job offer.

"Our community should be treated equally and there must not be any gender discrimination," Malik said, adding that she hopes her new position will help improve the lives of Pakistan's transgender community.

What to look out for...

Any developments in the scandalous "Who bit Beyoncé?" case. Tiffany Haddish, please just tell us who it was already!

Buckle up kids, because it’s time to talk about something of the utmost importance: the imminent demise of April Kepner. Plenty of characters have gone out with, shall we say, big bangs—I mean, Lexi Grey was eaten by wolves for God’s sake—but I believe that April has the potential to be the biggest bang of them all.  

This poor girl has been in a steady downward spiral for most of season 14 of Grey’s Anatomy, turning to alcohol and anger in her time of personal and spiritual strife. The beginning stages seemed so positive, with April standing up for herself and owning her new position as judge of the surgical competition, but with each episode since she’s become more and more unstable. I didn’t know how much worse it could get after game night, but it definitely came to a head in this week’s “Caught Somewhere in Time,” as April took control of the intern’s trauma certification, running the whole thing into the ground before backing out of her parental duties for the night, and breaking down in a supply closet.

I’d really like to have hope that this was a turning point in her story, and that April is going to start coming back to herself for the remainder of the season. She seems to be realizing how not okay she is, but it’s highly unlikely that a sane April Kepner is going to leave Grey Sloane of her own accord—not without Harriet—and we know Jackson isn’t going to have that. In light of these musings, here are six possible ways that April Kepner will take her leave:

1. She’s involuntarily committed or sent to rehab

If April continues down the path she’s currently on, one of the next steps is probably showing up to work drunk. While her behavior as of late seems like that of a drunk woman, I don't think this has actually happened yet. While the rest of the crew has taken note of her odd behavior, nobody has really stepped up to help her. I bet they'd be pretty quick to stage an intervention, though, and then she’d finally get the help she clearly needs.

2. Her mental health continues to deteriorate, and she disappears

If April doesn’t get the help she needs, I could see her pulling a Meredith and going completely MIA. Unfortunately, she’s not likely to return once things have settled down for her, and we’ll be left with a number of questions.

3. She realizes the trouble she's in, and she goes away to find herself

On the other hand, she could head off on a soul-searching mission, or rejoin the military, in an effort to better herself. She's still unlikely to return, but at least we'll know that she's out there doing something good for herself. 

4. She causes an accident and is sentenced to prison

If April does stick around, I could see her poor judgment taking it a step further and putting her behind the wheel of a car, a la Derek after his shooting. But where Derek spent a night in the drunk tank and learned from that mistake, April probably won’t have a friendly officer keeping her off the road. It wouldn’t surprise me if she caused an awful accident, leading to her incarceration and even further separating her from her faith and her family.

5. She causes an accident and is killed

Alternatively, the accident leads to her untimely, terribly depressing death. Denny, George, Reed, Percy, Lexi, Mark, Brooks, Derek who?

6. She turns herself back around, but is killed in a freak, non-breakdown-related accident

Just when we think everything is back to normal, and that maybe, just maybe, Sarah will stay, a classic Grey's disaster will strike. Ferry boat crashes? Don't make me laugh. Bus explosions? Ha. Hospital destruction? LOL. What’s left??

I’m not particularly fond of any of these options, but unfortunately Shonda didn’t put me in charge of April’s fate. Given my lack of control, the best I can do is hope for either 1 or 6. I absolutely want to see April get back on her feet, though having to see her die, especially after overcoming everything that was pushing her down, might kill me, too. If she’s sent away for treatment, at least we’ll know she’s still there, still fighting, and we’ll probably get to hear about her every now and again, like Cristina.

Life is unpredictable and messy. You can never predict how your circumstances will affect your mental health and overall well being. Whether you’re picking up the pieces from a significant tragedy or managing a mental illness you’re already aware of, learning to take care of your mental health is a daily battle, but a battle that you’re capable of winning.

1. Reach out for help

This may seem obvious, but for many there is still a huge stigma attached to admitting you are struggling with mental health. The Mayo Clinic defines a nervous breakdown as "a stressful situation" where you are "temporarily unable to function normally in day-to-day life." Though pride or fear of rejection may cause you to turn inward, you don't have to carry your struggles alone and there are people who are trained and willing to help you. According If reaching out to a mental health professional feels overwhelming, talking to a close friend or family member can help ease you into the process.

Psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman recommends asking friends of family for referrals to a therapist who has been helpful to them.

"If you don’t want to tell them that you’re looking for a therapist, you can go to your school’s mental health clinic. Or, if your school doesn't have one, you can look in directories (such as Psychology Today) or call your local university hospital or psychoanalytic institute for a referral. You can’t really count on the quality of the therapists that your insurance lists. You may need to try more than one therapist until you find one who is helpful. Medication (such as an antidepressant) will not cure your depression. It can help with symptoms while you are undergoing therapy from a psychiatrist or psychologist."

Vanessa Rinker, a graduate assistant at the University of Central Florida, experienced a deep period of depression when she struggled to find work after finishing undergrad.

“I felt isolated especially because I graduated early so all my friends in school didn’t understand,” she explains. “If I wasn’t at work, I honestly just slept and had no interest in anything—I didn’t hang out with friends or talk to my parents, just stayed in my room all day. The more I looked for jobs the more depressed I became.”

Dr. Lieberman recommends  "things like exercise, flowers or plants on your desk, aromatherapy, self-help books and so on" to change your daily routine.

Vanessa says she started gaining confidence by getting outside and talking to people, even something as simple as asking to pet someone’s dog.

“I felt better to the point where I reached out to one of my old professors just to see how a paper she had been working on was going,” Vanessa says. “Upon doing so she replied asking for my phone number and called me to offer me full funding to the MA program that I had applied for. It’s weird to say because it’s said so much but there really is a reason for everything that happens. I look back now and if I would have gotten that internship or a job right at the start I wouldn’t have gotten the better opportunities presented to me. I wouldn’t have strengthened my friendships here or met my boyfriend or have gotten a masters degree.”

2. Build a support group

Kayley Ingle, a Florida Gulf Coast University grad and public school teacher, battled depression when she became the main caregiver for her grandmother who was on hospice.

“I put my two jobs on hold and essentially my future on hold to come home and care for her. When she passed away, summer was almost done and I was supposed to be starting my career teaching,” Kayley says. "The best resource was the people around me...I think we sometimes I underestimate the power and kindness of people but that was the best resource I could’ve asked for."

If you can’t access an in-person support group, online forums are an alternative.

No Stigmas, is a free mental health community that provides peer support and allyship to members. 

“There are a variety of roadblocks—simple lack of understanding and resources, access to treatment, and the stigmas that are still associated with mental illness. We want people to remember that they are not alone in their mental health journey,” says Kate Summers, No Stigmas Communications Coordinator.

No Stigmas connect members through Facebook groups and offers and online learning center and resource directory for free and low-cost counseling across the country. Organizations like the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance and Mental Heath America also offer support group networks.

No Stigmas also launched an Ally Training program last year, which has trained nearly 1,500 volunteers to organize and facilities support groups in their communities.

“It’s been really exciting to see people come away from it with more knowledge about supporting others who are struggling, but also their own mental health and self-care, and having the confidence to take that knowledge out into the world,” says Kate. “The hope is that Ally Leaders will take the tools they learned in the training into their own communities.”

3. Seek professional help

Counseling is expensive, and the cost alone is enough keep people from receiving the help they need. If you are still enrolled in school or employed by your university, many colleges offer free counseling to students and employees. If you have a job with a benefits package, or are covered by a parent, guardian or spouse's insurance, see if their plan includes mental health coverage or if vouchers are available for a certain amount of sessions. 

Mary Kent experienced several breakdowns because of financial hardships when budgeting her first year as a teacher.

“There were times that wouldn't leave the house other than for work because I was exhausted or afraid to spend money,” Mary says.

“I never sought out free counseling because I’m new to the area and didn’t know where to go. Asking for services like those is still seen as such a negative thing.”
Luckily, Mary says was able to a counseling session through her employer’s health insurance. If you are uninsured consider signing up for a state-sponsored health care plan which could offer income based tax credits that would lower your monthly premium  and out of pocket costs.Some clinics offer an income-based pay scale, and if you qualify, you could even receive free treatment. Though it may take some time to find help within your budget, it is possible.  

4. Be kind to yourself

Dr. Lieberman says the best thing to do when you're feeling overwhelmed is to take it easy. 

"When you’re feeling anxious or depressed, the first thing to do is to simplify your life. Perhaps you can drop or take an incomplete in a class until you’re feeling better. Or you can stop working at your job and cut your expenses instead. Rid your life of toxic people who make you feel bad and make your life more difficult. "

Maggie Smith, a University of Florida grad and Peace Corps volunteer, felt extreme anxiety when starting to plan life after the spending two years overseas.

“Straight after graduation, I went to serve in the Peace Corps which essentially postponed entering the real world for 27 months. At one of our conference training there was a session about looking for jobs after Peace Corps and I nearly had a panic attack then. Since then I've had lots of anxiety about returning to America,” Maggie says.

Maggie was able to attend counseling through her program to help her cope with the stress.

“Anxiety about entering the real world is completely normal. It's hard and even though it looks like I'm doing fine I'm not. Its exhausting to be depressed and always anxious. Getting out of it takes time so be patient.”

5. Find your outlet

Taking time to self-care is crucial to managing your mental and emotional health. For Vanessa it was reading and going outdoors. For Kaley it was going to gym. For Mary it was talking to her mom. For Maggie it was was journaling. What calms your nerves or brings you joy? Carve some moments of peace and reflection into your day to take a step back and just be.

Where in the world is Camen Sandiego? She's with Gina Rodriguez.

Deadline reports that the body positivity star will be taking her talents to Netflix as the star of a live-action Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Rodriguez will also serve as a producer through her I Can and I Will production company.

Though it was announced last year that she would be starring in the animated remake due in 2019, this live-action film is a standalone story, according to Buzzfeed. These Carmen Sandiego projects are still in the early stages, as neither a director nor a writer is attached—but the excitement of both is enough to please any 90s kid.

For those who still remember, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? was a half-hour game show that was based on the popular computer game of the same name. Three contestants had to answer questions to determine where in the world the shady Carmen Sandiego was located. It aired on PBS from 1991-1995.

Who's excited for not one, but two Carmen Sandiego remakes with the lovely Gina Rodriguez?! I know I am.

After her Bachelor debut in 2015 on Chris Soules’ season, Ashley Iaconetti, better known as Ashley I., has taken the world by storm. Not only has she starred on two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise and the first season of The Bachelor Winter Games, Iaconetti successfully hosts two podcasts, The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast and IDon’t Get It, and has created her own seven-episode talk show series, “The Story of Us.” Since her graceful public breakup with Bachelor in Paradise contestant Kevin Wendt, she’s been keeping busy with a variety of ambitious projects and recently took the time to speak with Her Campus about her retirement from reality TV, her favorite Bachelor couples and her experiences with dating in the real world.

Her Campus: You’ve recently started your own mini talk show series called “The Story of Us.” What are some things you’ve learned about love and relationships from the couples you’ve interviewed?

Ashley Iaconetti: The thing that just came to my mind is to have a good sense of humor about your relationship, because all of the couples were kind of laughing at each other and those little idiosyncrasies. Everything was just a really light-hearted feeling.

HC: You were inspired to start this show by your inability to find love on reality television—why do you think it was so hard for you to find it? In general, why are so few couples successful in staying together?

AI: I feel like for me, I've definitely found people that I've had strong feelings for on the show. It's just a matter of them feeling it back at the time. As far as why I think some of the couples make it, I think it's a great atmosphere to start a relationship in because you're forced to talk about lots of things that you probably wouldn't normally and are kind of uncomfortable to talk about in the early stages of dating, but these couples kind of have to. It's a blessing even though at first it can be a really awkward feeling, but in the end you're definitely stronger. The foundation of your relationship is stronger off the bat. You can really tell you like somebody a lot if you can be with them 24/7, basically in a Bachelor in Paradise setting, and not have any distractions like phones or TVs or internet. That's why I think they're successful, because if they're successful in the moment and survive that portion of a relationship, real life may be easy or it may be harder. It just kind of depends, and that's why I feel like couples are either together in the real world for a brief amount of time or forever.

HC: Which Bachelor couples inspire you to keep searching for The One?

AI: Definitely Jade and Tanner, and Kaitlyn and Shawn. They just have the cutest relationships ever, and I always tell Jade and Tanner this. I think they just complement each other so well.

HC: Do you foresee yourself going back onto Bachelor in Paradise or are you retired from the franchise?

AI: I definitely say that I'm retired as cast member for sure, but if they want me to come and make a little appearance on a date, I'd love to.

HC: You’ve been very open about your breakup with Kevin Wendt after Paradise. Have you been leaning on Jared throughout this breakup, or has he helped you in any way?

AI: Jared is always in my life. He's always a very positive force and somebody who makes me happy. As far as the breakup goes, I don't talk about that stuff with Jared too much. But I'm glad I was able to talk about it pretty publicly because I want people to know that Kevin and I do adore each other as people.

HC: It’s fantastic that you and Kevin are still friendly. What advice would you give a young woman who wants to try being friends with her ex?

AI: It's really a case-by-case basis, that's all I can say. Some people you can be friendly with afterward, and some people it's probably not good for one of the people to be in a friendship environment. It can still be leading the other person on. For a lot of people, it's easier to be friends afterward because they're just going to miss that component of their life as that person played such a big role.

HC: Now that you’re single again, are you enjoying your time alone or are you back on the market looking for that special someone?  

AI: I think I'm just enjoying my time alone right now. I think it will be a little bit before I really start being out there with somebody. At the moment, I have a lot of work. I'm back at ClevverTV, which I took off for The Bachelor Winter Games season. I also have my two podcasts still going on and then a whole bunch of miscellaneous. There's always something. The other day I covered one of Becca's dates for Cosmopolitan, and a couple days before that I interviewed some of her new guys for Access. All these little things pop up.

HC: Is it hard to date in real life after all this TV dating?

AI: The funny thing is that being on TV makes real life dating easier because you're like "Oh, I've dated on TV before," so it can't really get more nerve-wracking than that. Also, all the things you go through on the show basically allows you to really embrace yourself and be completely yourself when you're on a date with somebody. You're like, "Eh, I love me. If you don't love me, then see you later." It actually makes dating pretty easy.

HC: When you meet a guy, what’s the first thing you notice about him?

AI: Definitely eyes and mouth. He's got to have a good mouth and pretty eyes, or I probably won't be into it. I tend to like guys with really nice bone structure, just classically handsome. After that, I think it's about conversation. I feel like that's easy, if conversation is good and I feel comfortable being around him. I can tell pretty much right off the bat if I'm going to be myself with him, unless I really like him and he makes me really nervous in the beginning. Then, all I do is hope and pray that I'll be able to get over that hump. If I'm nervous initially, that probably means I like him a lot.

HC: What are some things that turn you off or find unattractive in a man?

AI: This is really situational, but when somebody says, "What's your flaw?" and then I tell them my flaw. Then they go, "Oh, we're going to change that." I'm like, "Mmmm, no." I just realize this is part of me, and it's a part of me that's probably never going to change. You're going to have to love and accept me for me, or it's just not going to work. Also, any guy who's too controlling or super possessive, or insecure is obviously a complete turnoff.

HC: Along those same lines, what’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?

AI: It was probably a date I went on over the summer. It was so bizarre because it was a dating app date and the guy asked what I did. I told him, "Oh, I do this and that," and he said, "How do you have the following to do that?" I said, "Well, I was on The Bachelor." Then he said, "Oh, one time I watched that show because my girlfriend used to watch it. There was this girl on there, and she was a virgin. I'm like, 'What a liar.' That b*tch wasn't a virgin, and she just lied to America." I thought, "Wow, that's really interesting because that b*tch is me." But I didn't say that. I didn't admit to anything. I'm just like, "Okay! We're going to power through this date as fast as I can." And that was it. That guy was a total d*ck. After completely having like zero chemistry, he said, "Let's go to Taco Bell." Then we're walking to Taco Bell, and he's trying to make out with me along the way. I'm like, "Are you joking me right now?" That was a bad one.

HC: We know your plate is pretty full already, but are there any future projects or endeavors you’ve been thinking about starting or have already started?

AI: I definitely want "The Story of Us" to be a success, so that maybe I can do that again with some more couples. I'm having couples email me their stories all the time. I had this one amazing girl email me a couple days ago about how she fell in love with guy at work. His girlfriend broke up with him, and then his cancer came back. She spent the first two months of the relationship in the hospital with him. It was such a sweet story. I want to really highlight those stories again, so I really want "The Story of Us" to continue on. I'm always trying during The Bachelor/Bachelorette off-season to put together some sort of charity event. Right now I'm trying to do "The Bachelor Girls Yard Sale." I want to get all the LA girls together and all of our clothes that are too nice to throw away into the donation pile, and have the fans come and basically shop. It would be like a Bachelor mall. We can only wear things a certain number of times because we're photographed, so I thought let's give these clothes away and give the money to charity. It would be awesome, so that's what I'm trying to put together now.

It’s been nearly a year since Camila Cabello left Fifth Harmony to focus on her solo career. Before the BA girl group changed their name or welcome another fifth member to join their chorus, the fans of group filled in as the fifth member. After all, fans have always been a part of the band (basically). Now, about a year since Cabello’s departure, Lauren Jauregui has plans to go solo—but she’s cerebrating all the lyrical endeavors that she’s accomplished with Fifth Harmony.

As Jauregui orchestrates her stag career, Fifth Harmony will take a brief hiatus because Normani, Dinah Jane and Ally Brooke are also curating their own singular careers. However, we aren’t the only fangirls who are screeching along to all of Fifth Harmony’s hits on our bathroom floor reminiscing Fifth Harmony’s melodic success, as Jauregui tells Playboy about her time with the group. (Because Jauregui can be a member of the group and a fan of it.)

Jauregui tells Playboy, “We tried our best to be ourselves, [but] we were also adolescents, so you have to think about who you were at that age and being thrown in front of cameras. When you’re really disconnected from who you are and you’re ashamed of it, you can write and tell a story, but you can never really tell your story.” Even before we all became Harmonizers, all the members of Fifth Harmony were super young and just finding out who they were as individuals. As Playboy adds, Jauregui was only 16 years old when she joined the group.

If you’re somehow unfamiliar with how Fifth Harmony became a reigning women-led troop, Vulture reports that all five members met on the second season of the American X Factor. Initially, they all auditioned as solo artists, but the show’s producers matched them all into a group (obviously dubbed Fifth Harmony). While re-watching their journey through X Factor is making our eyes leak, it’s quite fitting that the members would revert to their solo careers.

Playboy notes that Jauregui has also collaborated with Marian Hill, in “Back to Me,” as well as in Ty Dolla $ign’s “In Your Phone.” Which, TBH, could have foreshadowed her maybe-permanent solo musical tenure. According to People, Jauregui also dabbled in her hit single“All Night” back in Nov. 2017—shortly after her duet with Marian Hill. Nevertheless, it seems like Lauren Jauregui is looking forward to her future ventures.

The Miami-born singer, who tells Playboy that she doesn’t want to note-cast into one genre, says, “It’s definitely different than my work with Fifth Harmony. It’s me.” Understandably so, because working in a girl gang is a group effort—plus, different is good.

Regardless of where Jauregui's harmonic path takes her, we know we’re going to be bopping along to all her hits.

The reigning princess of rap has given us a true gift. That's right, Cardi B has posted the album artwork for her debut album on Instagram.

Her album, Invasion of Privacy, is slated for release next week, April 6th—so soon! The cover features a very '80s-inspired shot where she is seen wearing checkerboard print and bold sunglasses, and it is absolutely perfect for the rap star. It's bold and in your face, just the way she is, and gives you an idea of exactly what you can expect.

After having what many perceive as a meteoric rise in 2017 with "Bodak Yellow," her debut record is sure to be a great work of hip-hop perfection. As Cosmopolitan points out, she has since continued skyrocketing to success, being featured on Bruno Mars'"Finesse (Remix)," and performing it with him at the Grammys where she was nominated for two awards, and winning the iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Artist in Hip-Hop. As she prepares to launch her first studio album, Cardi is also set to make her Saturday Night Live debut along Black Panther's Chadwick Boseman on April 7th.

2018 is looking just as good as 2017 for Ms. Cardi, if not better!

Tuesday, March 27th, marks the second annual Muslim Women’s Day, a holiday meant to celebrate and amplify the voices of Muslim women.

Not sure what that is, or how to celebrate it? Here's what's up:

Why Muslim Women’s Day?

This past year was undoubtedly the year of the woman. We celebrated International Women’s Day, we took a stand against sexual harassment with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, we watched incredible young women like Emma Gonzalez take a stand against gun violence. However, if there’s one area that the feminist movement can improve upon, it’s intersectionality (which is a term, coined by black feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw, for the idea that different forms of oppression are interrelated). The feminist movement tends to elevate the voices of privileged white women over those of women of color. This form of “white feminism” isn’t really feminism, it’s just white privilege picking and choosing parts of feminist idealogy. In order to ensure that our feminism is actually feminism, we have to ensure that it’s intersectional.

So last year, in March 2017, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh decided to create a Muslim Women’s Day at the end of Women’s History Month. Al-Khatahtbeh told Bustle, “It seemed natural and necessary to create an occasion like Muslim Women's Day for this Women's History Month ... We're on the heels of widespread conversations surrounding the Muslim Ban and even the women's movement, and it comes at a time when Muslim women are being increasingly targeted for their practice. Muslim Women's Day is a positive response to this critical moment by celebrating a marginalized community that needs the public support right now.”

How did it get started?

The creator of Muslim Women’s Day is Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, the 25-year-old founder of MuslimGirl.com who is the absolute definition of a #GirlBoss.

Al-Khatahtbeh grew up in New Jersey and was less than ten years old when 9/11 occurred, as CNN notes. The post-9/11 climate was particularly difficult for Al-Khatahtbeh and her family, and she found herself hiding her Muslim background from her friends to avoid judgment. When she was thirteen years old, the violence against Muslim communities in the United States became such a large threat that Al-Khatahtbeh and her family moved to Jordan, her father’s home country.

In Jordan, Al-Khatahtbeh developed a newfound pride for her religion, so much so that when she returned to New Jersey a few years later, she decided to wear a hijab as a protest against Islamophobia. At age seventeen, Al-Khatahtbeh started her blog, MuslimGirl.com, which now gets over a million visitors each year.

Last March, Al-Khatahtbeh launched Muslim Women’s Day for the first time, in order to ensure that Muslim women’s voices are recognized and represented in the media.

As she stated on her website, “This day is all about centering Muslim women’s stories and voices. We call upon our allies to pass the mic to Muslim women by elevating their narratives online for the day ... We think it’s important to elevate Muslim women’s voices, especially in this moment ... it’s time to hear from a community that’s often talked about but rarely given the chance to speak. In the age of social media and the internet, we’re only one click away from changing that.”

What is this year’s theme?

This year, the theme of Muslim Women’s Day is “Muslim Women Talk Back To Violence.” This goes hand-in-hand with the pervasive conversations on sexual violence and gun violence in our culture. This past year was the modern peak in assaults against Muslim people, and it easily surpassed even the number of assaults in 2001, when Islamophobia was particularly rampant after 9/11.

Muslim Women’s Day’s response to this violence is amplifying the positive voices within the community. As it says on the MuslimGirl.com website, “We’re teaming up with our friends at some of your favorite online destinations to pass the mic to Muslim women. We’re centering Muslim women’s voices in the conversation, from those impacted by gun violence, to sexual assault in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, and much more. With the dialogue unfolding around us, it’s so important to center the narratives we don’t always get to hear.”

How can I get involved?

Everyone can embrace the opportunity to celebrate Muslim Women’s Day, and amplify the voices of the incredible Muslim women in our communities.
