Must See: Orlando Bloom Calls Out Emma Stone for Stealing His ‘LOTR’ Look

HOLLYWOOD, CA - APRIL 12: Orlando Bloom arrives to the Los Angeles premiere of 'The Promise' at TCL Chinese Theatre on April 12, 2017 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Tara Ziemba/Getty Images)
<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

A first-look photo recently surfaced from the set of Emma Stone’s upcoming Netflix series, Maniac, and while some fans are comparing her unrecognizable transformation to Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, Orlando Bloom has other ideas and he totally nailed it.

Bloom took to Instagram today to point out the totally valid resemblance between Stone’s Maniac character and his character from Lord of the Rings, Legolas. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor shared a four-photo collage featuring the La La Land star on set alongside very similar photos of Bloom from the classic sci-fi trilogy.

He captioned the post, “Elf stole my look!! When your blonde locks get a revamp…and improved upon #emmastone, a true elven sista #lordoftherings.”

The ten-episode dark comedy will feature Stone as a patient in a mental institution, and we’re just dying to know what those pointy ears have to do with the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest meets Lord of the Rings storyline.

Prince George’s Handwritten Christmas List for Santa Has Only One Thing on It

There will come a day when little Prince George becomes the king of England, but for now, he’s just a regular 4-year-old writing letters to Santa like every other kid. Except, you know, his list has only one item on it: a police car.

Prince William delivered the handwritten wish list to Santa while touring The North Pole Helsinki, Finland, earlier this week, saying, “[George] hasn’t written down many requests, so I think one request is probably OK.” The adorable future monarch made sure his dad and Santa noticed he’s been good this year by circling the words at the top of the page and signed it “Love, George.” Heart. Melting.

While little George has gotten to take joyrides in fancier modes of transportation (helicopters and airplanes galore), we respect his civilian adoration for old-school crime-fighting vehicles.

Fingers crossed that Santa comes through for you, Georgie.

Underarm Lipo and 6 Other Amazing Confessions from Chrissy Teigen

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 11: Model Chrissy Teigen attends the 71st Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on June 11, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Jim Spellman/WireImage)

We all know that Chrissy Teigen is an undercover comedian in a supermodel’s body. And over the years, she’s revealed some hilarious confessions that most celebs would sooner plead the fifth on than reveal about themselves. From underarm lipo to picking Luna’s boogers, here are seven of Teigen’s most wonderful confessions.

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

She’s Had Underarm Lipo

You know that really pleasant, confidence-boosting under-the-armpit shar-pei that magically forms when you wear a tight sports bra or put your arms at your sides? Well, Teigen revealed that her secret to blubber-free underarms is—wait for it—armpit liposuction.

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

And Underwear Isn’t Her Thing

In 2013, Teigen appeared on E!’s Fashion Police and shocked its host, the late Joan Rivers, with her panty preference, er, or lack thereof. The model explained she’s easy breezy (sorry, had to) and she’d much rather go commando than wear underwear because she “just doesn’t like it.”

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

She Gets Emotional At Weddings…but Not Her Own

Teigen has admitted that as special as the day was, she didn’t actually cry at her and hubby John Legend’s 2013 nuptials in Lake Como, Italy. She did, however, cry during the wedding extravaganza on season five of Vanderpump Rules. “Definitely just cried at Tom and Katie’s wedding on Pump Rules,” she wrote on Twitter. “Did not cry for my own.”

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

Her First Date With Legend Wasn’t As Magical As Everyone Thinks

According to Teigen, the pair met in 2007 while filming Legend’s music video for “Stereo.” After hitting it off at the 14-hour shoot, the couple feasted on In-N-Out and hooked up in the singer’s hotel room later that night (no judgment). Shout out to Teigen for turning a one-night stand into a four-year (and counting) marriage.

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

And She Blames Parking For Her Lack Of Cardio

In Los Angeles, scoring a decent parking spot is like finding a needle in a haystack. We sympathize with Teigen when she says her lack of fitness is due to the city’s hit-or-miss parking situation, specifically where she likes to workout. Because, like, why go to the gym when you can just Be Yoncé?

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

She Knows She’s Fortunate Af

From private jets to glam squads, Teigen has a lot of help, but she knows how fortunate she is and applauds the women who do it all. “We have help. It’s important for people to know that,” she said. “I have the utmost respect for mothers and single mothers who go to work and come home and make dinner. I do all these things because I have help.”

<code><p class = "instagram-media"></p></code>

And Enjoys Picking Luna’s Boogers (seriously)

We all have guilty pleasures, but Teigen’s involves a manicured pinkie nail and her one-year-old daughter’s nostrils. “I have this obsession with digging out her boogers with my pinkie,” she explained. “I try to be as gentle as possible, but once I see it, I can’t go to bed knowing it’s in there. I need to get it out. I’ve honestly thought about putting my mouth around her nose and just sucking it out.” Baby no. two has no idea what he or she is in for.

Lemon-Rosemary Sheet Pan Cornish Hens

Erin McDowell
4 servings
Photo: Liz Andrew/Styling: Derek Laughren

The only thing you need to do here? Season the Cornish hens and chop the veggies (a mere 15 minutes of your time). Then transfer everything to a sheet pan, set a timer and continue bingeing Stranger Things.

4 Cornish hens

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 lemons, thinly sliced

1 head garlic—4 cloves peeled and crushed; remaining cloves separated and left in the skin

½ bunch rosemary

1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered

1 pound marble potatoes, halved

1 pound butternut squash, diced

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 55 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Season the inside of the Cornish hens with salt and pepper. Place the lemon slices, 1 crushed garlic clove and 2 sprigs of rosemary inside each hen. Tie the legs of each hen together with twine, and season the outside with salt and pepper.

3. On a baking sheet, toss the brussels sprouts, potatoes, squash and remaining garlic cloves with the olive oil. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper, and top with the remaining sprigs of rosemary.

4. Nestle the Cornish hens into the vegetables and then transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Roast until the hens are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the Cornish hens reaches 180°F, 50 to 55 minutes.

The Best Gifts for People Who Don’t Have a Lot of Space

As much as we’d like to receive a fancy-as-hell espresso machine or a Gucci chair, our tiny apartments aren’t exactly welcoming to sizable gifts. With itty-bitty abodes in mind, here are six gifts that take up virtually no space.

Food That They’ll Eat Quickly

Sally’s Baking Addiction

Oh no, I wish you hadn’t given me a tin of utterly delicious peppermint bark, said no gift recipient ever. Food gifts are a no-brainer—especially for those who are short on space. Not only do these not typically take up a ton of room, chances are they’ll be gone so quickly it won’t matter anyway. Here are a few (um, 17) more things to make.

A Movie Subscription

If you live in a tiny space, it makes sense that you’d want to get out a lot, yes? Our favorite escape is the movies, especially with MoviePass, which lets you see unlimited films for less than $10 a month. Gift subscriptions start at $30 for three months and go up to $120 for a full year.

Cooking and cleaning up in a tiny kitchen can be a drag. Keep the focus on the food with a gift card to a food delivery service like Seamless, no cleaning, slicing or sautéing required.

An Experience

Twenty20

Tickets to a Broadway show or sporting event, a fancy dinner, a spa day. The possibilities here are pretty much endless. Plus, an experiential gift takes up zero space, save the space in their mind where they’ll always remember what a cool, thoughtful gift-giver you are.

Twenty20

A Donation In Their Name

Twenty20

Speaking of thoughtful gifts, a donation to a charity that’s close to his or her heart is an excellent, no-stuff option. Whether they’re passionate about animals, clean water or the environment, do a little research to determine where your money will be most useful, then make a donation in their name. It’s a gift pretty much everyone can feel good about.

The 7 Best Beauty Breakthroughs That Made Our Year

To be considered a “beauty breakthrough,” a product has to, first, excite us from the moment we see it. (Must. Try. Now.) But to really earn the accolade, it also has to make our lives better, easier and a little more beautiful. That’s a tall order—we know—but these seven picks exceeded our expectations.

Light Therapy Mask

@Neutrogena/Instagram

Laser treatments are undoubtedly the gold standard in combatting acne and scarring. But they aren’t exactly cheap—which is what makes this drugstore mask such a game changer. For $30 you get the same skin-clearing benefits of an in-office procedure (LED lights and all), without ever having to leave your couch. If only we had this when we were in high school…

Neutrogena ($30)

@Neutrogena/Instagram

False Lash Applicator

@FlirtCosmetics/Instagram

Why is it that every time we go to apply false lashes, the damn glue sticks to everything but our eyelids? One blink and the whole strip goes awry. The experience used to stress us out until we came across this nifty little dispenser that negates the need for tweezers—or finicky strips, for that matter. Each one comes preloaded with small (read: natural-looking) clusters of lashes that feel light as a feather on.

Flirt Cosmetics ($28)

Cat-eyeliner Stamp

Come to think of it, 2017 was a great year for beauty. Brands finally took note of our daily grievances and decided to create products to address them. Case in point: an eyeliner stamp. Getting the flick even on both sides used to be a near-impossible task. Now it’s elementary. Seriously, a first-grader (OK, a first-grader who colors within the lines) could wield this rubber stamp to cat-eyed perfection.

Dry Shampoo Blotting Sheets

Nunzio Saviano; Background: Anagram/Getty Images

You know that moment when you tip overboard on the dry shampoo? Yeah, no coming back from that. With dry shampoo blotting sheets it’s no longer an issue. Each highly absorbent paper soaks up extra oil along the hairline and roots, while leaving behind a trail of perfume and volumizing rice starch that you brush through for even distribution.

No more spills or over-spraying ever again. The new way to apply your perfume is to paint it directly onto your skin. Just click the bottom of the brush to dispense a clear, fast-drying gel fragrance and sweep it on wherever you need freshening up.

Foam Conditioner

This conditioner defies gravity. OK, not quite, but it certainly comes close. With a whipped texture, it looks and feels like shaving cream or mousse—and it dissipates just as quickly once the water hits it. If you’ve been looking for a lightweight styling option, you’ll love how much easier it is to run a brush through your hair and how smooth of a finish you get when dried.

Thank you, Revlon, for making it possible to (finally) master the at-home blowout. With a ceramic-coated chamber that splits open (sort of like a flat iron), it quickly dries each section of hair from both sides. Less dry time equals less damage and ceramic plates ensure the type of glossy finish that’s typically reserved for salons.
