Jennifer Aniston Is Sick People Saying 'You Look Great for Your Age'


Did you have to re-learn how to do your hair?

I did. I had to learn how to get a blow-dryer and do all that. My mom always used to sweetly blow dry my hair.

You recently said in an interview that you don’t want gray hair. Do you think there’s still a taboo around women in Hollywood going gray?

No, I think it’s personal choice. I don’t think there’s any taboo. I mean, I think if we create one [then there will be], because that’s what people like to do—create a narrative and a headline—but I think if people want to go gray, look, go gray. It’s just I don’t want to.

You’re traveling constantly. What city or country gives you the greatest beauty inspiration?

Paris. It’s absolutely stunning. I love everyone’s carefree, chic style. The women there usually wear their hair messy in a low bun, or they’ll be in a beautiful coat. And the architecture! The whole city is like a fairytale.

You’re stranded on a desert island. What are the three products you bring with you?

Aveeno sunscreen, a leave-in conditioner, and lip balm. I love Dr. Hauschka’s. And for conditioner, it’d want anything that’s nourishing. Shu Uemura has a good mask.

If there were one thing about beauty perceptions you could change, what would it be?

That beauty has a time clock. Beauty at any age is beautiful. I think we’re taking better care of ourselves these days. We’re learning more about our internal health, and that reflects itself on our outer health and beauty. I think the cliches of “oh my God, you look great for your age,” is kind of an old paradigm that doesn’t exist anymore.

You have $20 and free roam of a drugstore. What do you buy?

This is going back to my childhood, but I’d probably go to the magazine section, then over to the makeup and look through Revlon. I’d probably find some great blush. Then I’d go look at the nail polishes.

Is there a nail color you’re loving right now?

I go between pale natural pink to a deep Bordeaux in the winter.

Who are the women inspiring you the most right now?

That young woman Greta [Thunberg]. Just the strength and knowledge of that little person, and her fearlessness and fierceness to go and confront people that need to be confronted. She’s incredible. As for who else is inspiring me right now? Hmm. Women are inspiring me right now. F*ck, they all do.

This interview has been edited and condensed.

Taylor Swift Just Revealed Which Celebs Are Making a Cameo in Her 'You Need to Calm Down' Music Video


Taylor Swift‘s gearing up to drop the music video for her new song “You Need to Calm Down” on Good Morning America on Monday (June 17)—and in true Swift fashion, she’s given us a little clue about what to expect. In uncharacteristic Swift fashion, however, she didn’t make us do any detective work: Instead, she decided on Sunday (June 16) to straight-up announce some of the A-list celebrities making an appearance in the video.

The singer shared the star-studded list of cameos on her social media accounts, which includes some very recognizable actors, singers, athletes, and YouTubers. In keeping with the anti-hate, pro-LGBTQ+ theme of “You Need to Calm Down,” many of the celebrities appearing in the video are proud members of the LGBTQ+ community.

“Asked a few friends to be in the You Need to Calm Down video. Out tomorrow at 8:15 am ET,” she coyly wrote alongside the teaser clip.

Here’s everyone who’s making an appearance:

  • Ellen DeGeneres
  • Ryan Reynolds
  • Hayley Kiyoko
  • Jesse Tyler Ferguson
  • Justin Mikita
  • All of the Queer Eye guys
  • Laverne Cox
  • Dexter Mayfield
  • Ciara
  • RuPaul
  • Billy Porter
  • Adam Lambert
  • Adam Rippon
  • Todrick Hall
  • Chester Lockhart
  • Hannah Hart

It’s quite the list. However, there’s no mention of Katy Perry or some of Swift’s other high-profile friends on the list—yet: The 29-year-old also shared that more of her famous friends will be featured.

One thing we know for sure though: Perry and Swift will definitely not be sharing a kiss in the video, despite all those internet theories. Swift debunked any and all speculation on Tumblr, confirming there is no truth to the rumors that she would never “bait” her fans that way.

“GUYS. That is ABSOLUTELY false. To be an ally is to understand the difference between advocating and baiting,” she wrote. “Anyone trying to twist this positivity into something it isn’t needs to calm down. It costs zero dollars to not step on our gowns. ?✌️”

Taylor Swift Just Hit Back at All Her Trolls With Her New Song, 'You Need to Calm Down'


Taylor Swift has some things to say about the Internet, social media, and trolls—and she’s letting it all out in the latest single from her upcoming seventh album.

The song, “You Need to Calm Down,” dropped at midnight, and its message is clear just from the title: We must chill, guys. Musically, the new song feels very in line with the first single from the album, “ME!” And though it’s laying out a clear message to trolls and those who drag Swift and her friends online, the overall tone is positive. The actual video for “You Need to Calm Down” will be released next week. “I wanted you to hear the song first, then see the video,” she said during an Instagram livestream on Thursday, June 13. “Because the video is very worth the wait. There’s a lot going on in the video, so I wanted that to be a separate discovery.”

So let’s break down what Tay’s got to say on this new song.

She sets the tone with the first verse, calling out the difference between saying something to someone’s face versus putting it on social media: “You are somebody that I don’t know/But you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s Patrón/And I’m just like, damn, it’s 7 AM/Say it in the street, that’s a knock-out/But you say it in a Tweet, that’s a cop-out/And I’m just like, “Hey, are you OK?”

Swift goes on to say she’s not against self-expression, but she’s learned to let it go because “snakes and stones never broke my bones,” seemingly a reference to the pre-Reputation Kim Kardashian drama.

There’s also more than one reference to the LGBTQ+ community in the song. At one point, Swift sings, “Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)”. GLAAD is the organization formerly known as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation that describes itself as being at the “forefront of cultural change, accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ community.” Later she says, “And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate/’Cause shade never made anybody less gay.” This is in line with a newly more politically active Swift, who recently released a letter she wrote to her Tennessee senator about protecting LGBTQ+ rights.

Paula Pell: People Used to Tell Me 'You Could Be a Knockout.' My Mistake Was Listening to Them.


I was born round and without a waist. I practically came out of the womb wearing a shapeless shirt with a loud print over leggings, donning bold earrings to draw the eyes upward. I had good teeth, a nice face, and a big happy Midwestern head full of dreams. I was a joy bomb who lived to make people laugh. I was heavier than everyone around me.

I prefer to say I “held gravity” because it sounds like a super power. In some ways it was. I realized early on that because I was big, I was no threat whatsoever to my female friends when it came to boys. They would always trust me more than their normal-weighted pals, and I would become their beloved confidants. I loved being mama to the pack, the wise comfort, le grande teat.

I could sense that my fat was looked down upon, that I was different. But instead of being wounded, I would spin it. “I like being different! Being a potential love interest sounds like a royal pain in the ass!” I brought the support and the slumber parties and the laughs. I was the one to help you pick out your tiny prom dress or write you a poem when you had a bad break up or hold your purse full of gum while you were being a cheerleader. I had so many tender souls relying on me. I got the better deal because my life had meaning.

As I grew older and fatter, people began to point out my physical potential. “What a shame that you can’t capitalize on your pretty face!” My family loved me completely, but to many others it seemed to be frustrating that I had a head that was killing it, yet the rest (fat) was a wash. That’s why plus-size clothing sections used to be (and still are in some cases) next to the mowers in Lawn and Garden. Many of the clothes were designed like grill covers. Just tether in a couple spots and let the rest billow. Great hair. Nice makeup. Good teeth. Look at the top part, blur the rest. It’s not good, and it makes us sad.

By the end of high school I figured out why I didn’t mind being left out of the romance club with boys. I was hopelessly in love with my best girlfriend with whom I was inseparable. I was no longer excluded from love and sex and having a person. I just couldn’t tell anyone because it was a girl. I remained an “other.”

We painfully broke up in college, and I decided to explore dating men because I knew I wanted to have a baby someday. Rosie O’Donnell wasn’t on TV yet talking about adopting children, and I wondered if my first love meant I was gay or it was exploration. Excepting that I was gay would likely mean no kids.

So I took my broken heart on a two year stroll down Penis Boulevard. I dated a few nice guys but mostly hooked up with acquaintances. During this time I became truly ashamed of my size. I got into a cycle of losing large amounts of weight. 90 one time, 75 another. Each time I would get tiny and lose my curves, people who knew me before would flirt with me. I was now suddenly amazing. But I had no idea who I was, and I hated being obsessed with my food intake. And so, I’d quickly eat my way back to my safe body harbor. Mama the comforter has come home even heavier in body and soul.
