Kristen Bell Shares the Anxiety Advice She'd Give to Her Younger Self


May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in honor of that, the Child Mind Institute has collaborated with celebrities and activists to share the kind of advice they could’ve used when they were younger. Kicking off this very special #MyYoungerSelf campaign is Kristen Bell, who has been open in the past about the anxiety and depression she’s experienced since she was 18 years old.

On Tuesday, the Child Mind Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and young adults with mental health and learning disorders, released a video in which Bell offers her past self a few pieces of very valuable advice about embracing every aspect of her personality and no longer comparing herself to others.

“Don’t be fooled by this game of perfection that humans play. Because Instagram and magazines and TV shows, they strive for a certain aesthetic, and everything looks so beautiful, and people seem like they don’t have any problems, but everyone’s human. Everyone has problems. Everyone feels yucky on the inside sometimes,” Bell says in the video. “You deserve to feel just as beautiful on the days you wear no makeup, and the days you don’t shower, and the days you feel like you’re depressed. And you have an obligation to take care of yourself from the inside out, because that’s how you can truly feel beautiful.”

The 37-year-old goes on to encourage her younger self (and all others watching) to seek help if they need it. “You are not alone,” Bell says. “Never feel embarrassed or ashamed about who you are. There are plenty of things to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. If you forget your mom’s birthday, feel embarrassed about that! If you are prone to gossiping, feel ashamed about that. But never feel embarrassed or ashamed about the uniqueness that is you.” She added, “Because there are people out there to help. And we’re all just human. And you can do it.”

Throughout the month of May, stars like Sarah Silverman, James Van Der Beek, Gabrielle Union, and Brittany Snow will join Bell in getting candid about their own struggles, all for the purpose of eliminating the stigma attached to mental illness.

“These actors, athletes, authors, and influencers are helping to eradicate the stigma that keeps the one in five young people who struggle with a mental health or learning disorder from getting help and reaching their potential,” Harold S. Koplewicz, MD, founder and president of the Child Mind Institute, said in a statement. “#MyYoungerSelf represents our society, whether you’re famous or not, coming together to get these kids the help they need.”

Watch Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn Dance Together to Ed Sheeran During London's Jingle Bell Ball


Taylor Swift’s Reputation era is in full force: She’s performed at SNL, dropped multiple epic music videos, and will begin her world tour soon. But she still makes time to hang out with her boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn, and sneak in some romantic dates…even if those dates are actually at her work events. On Friday (December 8), Taylor performed at New York City’s Jingle Ball, and then quickly flew to London for the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball on Sunday, where she proved once again that she’s Ed Sheeran’s biggest fan. After performing new songs “Ready for It,” “Look What You Made Me Do,” and “Gorgeous” as well as older songs like “Blank Space” at the London event, the singer found Joe in the crowd during Ed’s set, according to Entertainment Tonight. Excited fans took to Twitter to post pictures and videos of the couple slow dancing to Ed’s many love songs, including “Perfect.”

It seems like this latest PDA might be the new normal for Taylor and Joe, who have been extremely secretive about their relationship until now. They were even spotted earlier this weekend wearing matching outfits and holding hands in New York City. Taylor has only given subtle hints about her relationship with Joe in the past, like wearing a silver necklace with Joe’s initials on it. Not to mention, the many songs on Reputation that are almost certainly about the British actor. Perhaps we’ll be seeing a lot more of Joe during Taylor’s tour—fingers crossed they slow dance together on stage.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's Kids Walked in on Them Having Sex


Of all of the celebrity couples, A Bad Moms Christmas actress Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are probably one of the most relatable—and transparent about the ups and downs of life in a relationship. They argue over how to furnish their home; they get flustered when they meet their celebrity crushes; and they fight like any other married couple. And in a moment that’s beyond relatable for a solid number of moms and dads, their kids have walked in on them in the middle of them getting it on. Bell was a guest on The Talk on Friday, and during one of the show’s segments, she was asked what the most embarrassing thing her kids have walked in on her and Shepard doing was. There’s pretty much one single answer that springs to mind for this for most parents, and without skipping a beat, Bell said, “Oh, they’ve walked in on us having sex.”

But they didn’t let it turn into a big deal: “That’s how they were made, it’s OK,” she told the hosts.

When another host asked how they reacted, Bell replied, “Well, we didn’t, like, continue…we sort of just went like, ‘Hey, what’s up? What do you need? What do you need?”

Then they told the kids that they were going to “nap” for a few more minutes. Yep…just napping.

Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell Just Got Matching Haircuts


Maybe it’s because we see it so rarely, but it’s pretty addictive to watch celebrities make hair decisions with their friends. It’s just so relatable—like a throwback to when your friend group would go in on a pack of Sun-In and streak everyone’s hair just slightly orange (that bad decision was universal, right? Right??). Those DIY dye jobs may have ended up only so-so, but regardless, they’re good memories. So when friends like Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams made the tipsy decision to dye Williams’ hair pink, we couldn’t look away. And today, we got some equally riveting intel on a new, friendship-inspired pair of celebrity haircuts. Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell just got matching bobs, and they look so good.

Chalk it up to friendship, having both of their hairstylists around, or cabin fever while promoting their new movie, A Bad Moms Christmas, but Bell and Kunis are now the celebrity equivalent of the matching girls emoji. Bell posted a shot last night of her and Kunis’ new styles, along with the caption, “Friendship haircuts.????.”

Gone are the days of long, mermaid-y beach waves and floor-sweeping extensions. These days every celebrity is going shorter, and both of their new cuts prove the point. Naturally, we did some sleuthing to find out just how identical their new styles really are (or if this was just a well-timed incident of both stars already having pretty short hair, like when you show up in the same outfit as someone and have to make the obligatory “twins!” joke). On Kunis’ end, she did in fact just get a haircut from her stylist, Renato Camparo.

Per his caption, they went for an asymmetrical ’60s-inspired bob, complete with sharply angled ends (but keeping the blunt aspect of Kunis’ last cut). Bell’s change is slightly more subtle.

From the photos that Bell, her hairstylist Jenny Cho, and her makeup artist Simone Siegl posted, we can glean that she might have gotten a trim (we weren’t kidding about the sleuthing). It’s still in the familiar territory of the haircut that Bell’s had for the past few years, but revamped into a shaggy, gently tousled look. If it ain’t broke, you know the drill. And looking like that, it definitely isn’t broken.

Watch Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn Hilariously Review Kids Toys


When you throw Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn in a room together and ask them to discuss what it’s like to be a kid, you’re going to get an ab workout just from laughing so hard. These are, after all, the same women who made grocery shopping funny in Bad Moms.

So in order to get into the holiday spirit early, we gathered a selection of the finest children’s toys for these A Bad Moms Christmas stars to review.Right off the bat, the women were not fans of Sweet Tears Baby (as you can tell by their faces in the photo above). Bell even went so far as to call the doll a murderer. Note to self: Avoid that doll at all costs. Holiday Barbie, meanwhile, went over a little better with the crew. Still, they thought she would look better with a hamburger. But, then again, so would everyone. The Furreal Roarin’ Tiger was the clear winner among the group. The women all thought their kids would love it, and Kunis, a grown woman, couldn’t stop petting it.

Watch, below:

A Bad Moms Christmas, the sequel to last summer’s hit Bad Moms, comes out November 1 and pays tribute to all of the hard-working moms who try to make the holidays magical for their families. “Christmas is a magical time, full of wonderful and exciting joy. A time for making lasting memories with family and friends,” Kunis narrates in the movie’s trailer. “But do you know the secret behind what makes Christmas so special? Moms. Moms working their asses off cooking, wrapping, decorating, and shopping.” We co-sign that.

Kristen Bell 'Literally Saved' 'Frozen' Co-Star Josh Gad's Family From Hurricane Irma

As Hurricane Irma makes its way toward southern Florida this weekend, people are doing what they can to protect themselves and their families. And America’s Sweetheart Kristen Bell is doing her part to help. She’s filming Like Father in Orlando right now, where evacuees from the state’s coastal areas are fleeing, and bunkering down at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, where she’s staying while she films.

On Friday, she posted a picture of her last run for Irma supplies: “Last run to the store for #irma hurricane holdover prep while bracing down in orlando- we didn’t have the option to leave so here we are,” she wrote. “Just doing our best and trying to stay positive but cautious, and trying to help those who need help prepping. Every person i passed today was assisting someone else- #neighborshelpingneighbors – it was beautiful to see. Sad that a hurricane has to bring out the best in everyone- but happy that the community will be holding hands through this. Im grateful to Gary and the team at @swandolphin in epcot for helping us feel safe while we get through this together.”

But Bell also gave back to some very special people in need: she was able to swing a room for Frozen co-star and Florida native Josh Gad’s “entire family”—niece and nephews included. “So @kristenanniebell literally saved my parents and my entire family tonight from #hurricaneirma,” Gad wrote on Instagram. “When they were stranded in Florida, she got them a hotel room at her hotel in Orlando and saved them, my brothers, my sister-in-law and niece and nephew. They don’t make them like this girl. Thank you Kristin. You are truly an angel sent from above. And thank you @ewablueeyes for bother her when I asked you not to!!!!”

He also took to Twitter to share the news. “No joke,” Gad tweeted on Friday. “@IMKristenBell just literally saved my parents, my brothers and entire family from #HurricaineIrma – you are an angel. I adore you.”

Way to rock that #neighborshelpingneighbors philosophy, Kristen.
