Taylor Swift dresses for girls, not boys

I don’t know that anyone would, by any stretch of the imagination, refer to Taylor Swift as a fashion plate or anything of the sort. She’s incredibly tall and thin, making her a great vessel for great clothes, and she always looks nice in what she wears, but she’s not presenting us with groundbreaking fashion or anything. Still, ASOS magazine, put out by the fashion retailer of the same name, seems to think she’s a worthy candidate for their cover and they’ve brought us one of the tackiest photoshoots I’ve seen in ages. Seriously – what in 1970s discotheque hell? Photos aside, the feature also has an interview in which Taylor insists that she’s never dressing up for boys with what she wears and in fact she’s more concerned with what her girlfriends think: “When I’m getting dressed, it’s always based on what my friends will think. They are my number one priority and the opinions of girls are more important to me at this point in my life.” Well, it’s good that she’s not dressing for boys, but how about only dressing for YOURSELF? Girls can be judgmental as shit, as well, even your “friends”, so the best way to ensure that you’re looking and feeling your best is to wear what YOU feel most comfortable and confident in. Then again, I get that this quote is just furtherance of her “Girls rule, boys drool” message she seems to be pushing in the past couple of years, so I guess I’ll give her a pass for now.

Ariana Grande responds to Bette Midler on Twitter (of course)

Remember how Bette Midler told Ariana Grande to stop acting like a whore in an attempt to get ahead? Ariana heard about it, obviously, and considering what a diva she is, you’d think she’d throw a tantrum, right? WRONG! Ariana has some common sense, however, as she knows to stay in her place and never challenge the Divine Miss M, and instead she tweeted the following: all love here ???? pic.twitter.com/BocrzJEgUj — Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) November 25, 2014 I love that this chick still has the nerve to call Bette Midler – several decades her elder – “my love”. How condescending and up your own ass can you be? I get the whole feminism means no slut shaming and all of that, which is fair enough, but Bette telling it like it is doesn’t mean she’s no longer a feminist or that she’s a shadow of her former self because she’s not stripping off as a 68-year-old woman. Get a grip. Bette is still standing by her original comments, though, and tweeted the following: About my screed on @ArianaGrande , all I can say is, "Spoken like a reformed old whore! She does have a beautiful voice, on a couch or off." — Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) November 26, 2014 Get it, Bette. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Reminder: Kendall Jenner is a real model now

Kendall Jenner has absolutely taken the modeling world by storm this year. She went from being a bit of a joke to being the most sought-after and well-employed model in the business, arguably. With success has come stories that her family history – you know, the fact that she’s part of the tasteless Kardashian clan – caused her to be bullied by other, more successful women. That rumour is untrue, says Kendall. From Dazed: “That has never happened, ever,” she says. “I would see rumours of girls bullying me backstage and putting cigarettes out in my drink, and none of that has happened. Everyone’s been really cool to me. I’ve never had one girl be mean… so far.” Well, that’s good to know. Either way, I kinda dig this shoot (Dazed does some good ones) and I actually think Kendall is a really good model. I don’t know why, but she’s come a long way and is actually doing more with her life than anyone in her family is. Not that modeling takes “talent”, per se, but you know what I mean.

Liam Hemsworth sent Jennifer Lawrence a “love koala”

Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth are two young, attractive people at the height of their careers. They’re also co-stars in The Hunger Games franchise and happen to be pretty much BFFs off camera, as well. However, there may be a new development to report in their relationship, since apparently Liam sent Jen a “love koala”, whatever the hell that is. Via The Independent (which pulled this from Heat, so grain of salt and all): “They’ve always had insane chemistry, but they’ve never been single at the same time before. In fact, when they first met on the set of The Hunger Games, Liam’s then-fiancé Miley Cyrus flew out, possibly to keep an eye on them, I think, because she was jealous,” the insider said. “Jen and Liam have been friends for years and she’s always confided in him about the drama in her love life. She’s really leaned on him during all the drama with Chris. ” Even before promotional duties the pair have apparently been spending time together. Jennifer reportedly invited Liam to see her in Los Angeles so they could go over strategy for their media tour, but it led to a more personal conversation. “Jen started pouring her heart out about Chris and things got personal. Liam knows Jen loves koala bears so, the next day, he had an enormous stuffed toy koala sent to Jen with a note saying, ‘Hold out for the perfect man,’” the source explained. I’m going to go ahead and call complete and utter bullshit on this one, but whatever. Maybe it’s true. Maybe they’re the next “it” couple. I don’t think so, though (even if they do sorta work well together, from an outside perspective). Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

The ‘Jurassic World’ trailer is here and I’m not sure how I feel about it

Look, Jurassic Park was an absolute CLASSIC, guys. I loved it, you loved it – I don’t know anyone who didn’t love it. So popular was the dinosaur movie that DJs even made techno remixes of the theme song! It was a glorious time to be alive. However, like most good things, they must all come to an end. Unfortunately, studio execs are greedy as shit and don’t know when to call it quits, so they keep making sequel after sequel, each installment of which is progressively shittier, and it’s embarrassing for everyone. Is that the case with Jurassic World? Eh, I’m not sure yet. The technology for special effects has certainly got better since Jurassic Park 3 or whatever that disaster was called, and this one has Chris Pratt, and he’s all the rage right now, so I suppose it has that going for it, but like… really? You had THREE major fucking disasters with your experiment of bringing back dinosaurs and you’re seriously opening a THEME PARK for a shit ton of adults and kids to come to and get up close and personal with these things? You’re REALLY going to create a “hybrid” dinosaur, which is OBVIOUSLY going to get out and kill everyone? REALLY? I mean, I know it’s suspension of disbelief and all, but… What do you think? Will you see it? I mean, all bullshit aside, I will be on this like white on rice, despite its ridiculousness.
