Your binge-watching habits are about to cost you a bit more than sleep — like, seriously, it's going to cost you. In a revelation no binge-watcher likes to hear, Netflix has announced it is raising its prices once again.

You may be thinking, "Wait, they can't jack up prices without telling me first, right?" And you'd be correct. However, the streaming giant does intend to alert its loyal subscribers to the change. Per a statement, those notifications should start going out in mid-October to give everyone a head's up before the changes take effect the following billing cycle.

That brings us to November and the brand-new monthly amount of moola you'll need to set aside to support your binge-watching habits.

Netflix's two most popular plans — the standard plan and the premium plan — are the ones undergoing the price hike. The standard, which allows users to watch or download on two screens at a time in HD, is being bumped from $9.99 to $10.99. Not too bad, right?

Premium subscribers, who can watch or download on four screens at a time in HD and Ultra HD, will see a slightly higher jump. Those subscriptions will be going from $11.99 per month to $13.99 per month.

If we're really being honest, that's not exactly going to break the bank either. And when you consider the fact that this is the first rate increase since 2014 and compare it to the steady roster of stellar original programming (and nostalgic favorites) Netflix supplies, it's only fair to give them a pass for the changes.

Plus, there will be no price raise at this time for the streaming service's cheapest plan. For $7.99 per month, subscribers will still be able to watch Netflix on one screen at a time in standard definition and download videos on one phone or tablet.

It does make you wonder whether or not we can expect our monthly subscription prices to continue climbing in the near future, though.

Living in a 500-square-foot apartment in New York, the notion of wine storage is laughable. While I’d love to say that I keep my wine in a temperature-controlled wine fridge or on a classy wine rack, the reality is I store my wine under the kitchen sink next to the Drano and cleaning supplies. Turns out there’s a better method to preserving your bottles, even for space-limited city dwellers. I asked Adam Fleischer, owner of The Wine Spot in Cleveland, Ohio, to share his tips on Wine Storage 101.

Why it matters

“Wine is an organic product, like food, and has a life cycle. Like food, most wines taste better with a little bit of aging.” Fleischer says. If stored properly, you should be able to enjoy a fine wine at various stages of life. “Wine stored for a longer period of time (years) will change colors and flavors. White wine will darken and red wine will lighten over time. Not necessarily a bad thing, just the natural aging process at work.”

If you don’t store wine properly, Fleischer warns, it will age prematurely. “In extreme cases, it will ‘turn’ to vinegar or develop a taste similar to nuts, like a dry sherry, when it becomes exposed to too much oxygen.” Simply put, an improperly stored wine or a wine that’s aged for too long will taste bad. That’s why at restaurants, they have you smell and taste the wine before they serve it to you — to make sure it’s not spoiled.

Short-term storage

Good news, city dwellers: You don’t need a fancy wine fridge if you plan to drink your bottles over the next few weeks or even months. Fleischer recommends storing bottles at room temperature in a dark, cool place like a basement or closet if you’re short on space. “If you keep a few bottles on hand that you plan to drink in a year or less, storing them in the closet is fine — perhaps allocate half of your shoe rack for wine,” he suggests. Avoid storing wine or Champagne in the refrigerator for more than a few weeks though. “The cold temperatures and vibration of the motor will break the wine down very quickly.” Just pop your whites, bubbly or rosé in the fridge when you are ready to drink them.

The worst spot to store wine? In a hot kitchen or next to a sunny window. So that cute wine rack next to your oven is actually a terrible idea. “Wine does not like heat or a light, especially intense sun through a window.” Fleischer says.

Longer-term storage

One of the most important things to remember when storing wine is temperature. Ideally, wine should be kept in a cool, dark environment around 55 to 65 degrees F, which helps wine age properly. For longer-term storage (think years), opt for a wine rack or shelf, a wooden or cardboard box or a wine fridge, Fleischer says. Store bottles on their sides in order to keep the cork moist — when a cork dries out it can let air inside the bottle.

“If you’re buying particularly rare or expensive wines that you do not plan to drink for many years, a wine fridge, maintained properly may be a good investment, and may help you sleep better at night.” Fleischer says.

Storing opened bottles of wine

Simply put the cork back in the wine (red, white or bubbly) and store it in the fridge, Fleischer advises. Opened bottles of wine will last for a few days or up to a week.  “White wines and rosé wines will oxidize quicker, so you may notice a subtle change in the taste, but it should be very drinkable.” Fleischer says. “For reds, just let them sit out for 15 to 30 minutes before you drink them.”

Life's too short to drink bad wine, so follow these tips and store your bottles safely. I'm off to purge my shoe collection to make space for my wine.

When it comes to getting her slot on Survivor: Heroes Vs. Healers Vs. Hustlers, Simone Nguyen has one of the most unique motivations we've ever heard. During our one-on-one interview after she became the second person eliminated, Simone explained how the election of President Donald Trump helped put her on the reality show. She also revealed that two castaways on her tribe had a secret connection and have known each other for years. Find out who they are and learn which player she thinks is most deserving to win it all with our latest in-depth chat. Enjoy!

SheKnows: How did you get on the show?

Simone Nguyen: I don't know what you do when you're stressed out, but I binge watch television. So, Donald Trump was elected and I was not feeling that. Since I was depressed, I was binge-watching Survivor. I was like, "Oh, a reality star has been elected president. Clearly this is not going to hold me back in my career." I sent in an audition video like two weeks after the election and got a call back in a few days. Before I knew it, I was in Los Angeles for the auditions. It happened really fast.

SK: So can you credit Donald Trump with the reason you were on Survivor?

SN: No. I won't credit that man with anything [laughs.] My own response to the political and social climate is the reason I was on Survivor. You're not given any news even after getting voted out second. I was hoping I would come home to see he was impeached. But that didn't happen.

SK: You bring up Donald Trump. Was he a topic of conversation in the game?

SN: Nobody talked about politics at all. Let me just say, there was more than one Trump supporter on my tribe. Everybody on my tribe was either conservative or apolitical. It was just kind of tough, because me, this progressive from New York, comes in and has a living talking about difficult topics nobody wants to talk about. Yeah, let's talk about race. Yeah, let's talk about social inequalities and economic inequality. Nobody wants to talk about that. It's not a surprise to me that I didn't fit in.

SK: Did you have any idea your elimination was coming?

SN: Yeah. Being on my own tribe was like watching a play. I could see all these other people connecting and finding common ground before me. Lauren and Ryan were connecting over the fact they have unconventional body types. I didn't have any moments like that. You see Devon goofing around with everybody. Ali and Patrick obviously knew each other. It was like I was watching Survivor in front of me, but I couldn't break that wall. That coupled with the fact I didn't do well on the puzzle, it made me feel like I needed to scramble.

SK: But going into that vote, did you know what was going to happen?

SN: I thought it was 50-50 me or Patrick. I thought the person who would've decided that vote was Ali. She's the one that Lauren followed like crazy, but also the one who got along best with the guys. Patrick is so difficult to live with. I love him, but he's so difficult. He gets up in the middle of the night yelling, "It's morning! Everybody wake up!" You have no idea how tough that is. You get like three hours of sleep a night and you're hungry all the time. I really thought there was a chance people would vote out Patrick instead because he made it so difficult to live with him. I kept telling people that a tribal swap was coming and they would want people who would be loyal. I thought if I could convince Ali to get me to stay that I was set. I wasn't able to do that, and I wasn't able to go deep.

SK: The others were having conversations about getting rid of Patrick. That being said, who do you blame for your elimination?

SN: Even though I was so completely charmed and taken in by him at the time, I would say Devon. He basically sacrificed his arm to give us a challenge lead. He came back with a bruise that was almost the size of Ryan. Of course you want to do well in the challenge, but he sacrificed his body to give us the lead. I lost that lead during the puzzle. I think he felt my performance in that challenge was worse for him than anybody else. I think he felt like a lot of the alpha guys feel about performing well in challenges. I wasn't able to do that. Patrick is really hard to trust, but he's a mover and a big guy. He's tough and he's strong. They kept a person who was a real physical asset.

SK: At this point, who is running the show on the Hustlers tribe?

SN: It's a split between Ryan and Ali. Ryan is charming everybody. He was even charming me, and I didn't want to be charmed because I was too busy suffering [laughs.] He would say a pun, and I would start laughing a crazy amount. He would entertain Patrick and Devon. He was putting on a show for everybody. He wasn't doing as much work at camp, but nobody even cared because he was just so lively and lighthearted. It's so fun to be with a person like that because you're bored 100 percent of the time out there. From a social point of view, he had forged the best bonds. Then there's Ali. She had the most decision-making power. Lauren attached herself at the hip to Ali. Devon trusted her. The group looked at her and thought she is somebody they wanted to work with. She was fun, but you look at her and think this beautiful goddess of a woman is somebody you want to work with. Ali was running the show because she had Lauren in her pocket and she was the strongest female.

SK: What was it like hearing Ryan say on the show that you're too weird?

SN: It's kind of funny. This guy who has never gone on a date in his life, he's in love with turtlenecks and doesn't drink. He's the oddball calling me weird. You can't even be mad at that because you fit in with who you fit in with. I wasn't lying about myself. I was completely open with people. I know the Asian stereotype is that Asians are sneaky. I was being completely open and told everybody about my background and what I do for a living.

SK: What was your strategy going into the game?

SN: I knew I was gonna be weaker than everybody else, so I was going to let people think they could control me. If you're going to drag me to the end, yeah, drag me to the end! If you want to take me in and think I will be loyal because I'm physically weak, yeah, do it! That doesn't hurt my pride. I'm playing the game to get to the next day. I think it would've worked, but Ali picked Patrick in the end because they've known each other for a long time. They went to college together, which is obviously why she lied about not going to college.

SK: Wait. Ali and Patrick had a previous connection before the game?

SN: Oh yeah. They kept it really quiet out there. I was as shocked as anybody. They're like neighbors from college. It's not like they were best friends or anything like that. They weren't even Facebook friends. They weren't super tight or anything like that, but it's easier to trust somebody who you've known for six years vs. six days.

SK: Did you belong on the Hustlers tribe? Do you feel that was the right designation for you?

SN: I was flattered to be on the Hustlers tribe. Even though I work for a nonprofit and I live my life trying to lift up others, I grew up really poor. I've hustled my entire life. I worked really hard to get a full ride through college. My parents are refugees who worked so hard to bring us to this country. I know the value of hard work, and I'm never going to underestimate it.

SK: If you could pick one person right now from the Hustlers tribe to win, who would it be?

SN: Ali. She wanted it the most. You could tell she was smart and willing to cut anybody's throat. While Ryan played the best social game, Ali hustled the hardest. She did tons of work around camp. She just got people to trust her, and she really impressed me with her work ethic.

Since Grey's Anatomy just shot down the possibility of a Cristina Yang cameo, it only seems fair the show would gift us with a few new faces to make up for the bad news. Well, ask and you shall receive, friends! A new sneak peek ahead of this week's episode reveals a cocky new doctor will soon be making the rounds at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

More: ABC Reveals Whether Sandra Oh Is Returning for Grey's Anatomy's 300th Episode

The clip may only be 37 seconds, but it's plenty of time to make a snap judgment about the brain surgeon who Amelia called in to size up her tumor — and that judgment is that he's smug.

He's a brain surgeon who isn't Derek Shepherd and a visiting doctor who isn't Cristina Yang so, admittedly, the guy's already at a disadvantage when it comes to winning over fans. The cockiness may not score him any early points.

More: Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Will Feature a Blast from the Past

In the sneak peek, Amelia introduces the new doctor to DeLuca, saying, "DeLuca, this is Tom Koracick, head of Neuro at Hopkins." To which Koracick cuts in, "Oh, he's heard of me. See these hands, DeLuca? All me. I should charge every time she uses them."

Oy! This one's full of... something.

Still, he isn't the first cocky doctor to appear on the flagship ABC drama. Remember how obnoxious Sloan seemed when he first came onto the scene? He grew on fans, which means there might just be hope for this new guy.

Whether he becomes a beloved regular down the road or simply alienates everyone in a recurring role, what we can essentially count on is that the acting will be excellent. That's because Dr. Koracick will be played by Greg Germann, who you'll likely recognize from popular shows like Ally McBeal, House of Lies, NCIS, Once Upon a Time, Law & Order: SVU and Friends from College.

Besides, if Dr. Koracick ends up being as grating as this first look would suggest, at least we have another far more pleasant newcomer to fall back on: the lovely Dr. Carina DeLuca, played by Stefania Spampinato.

You couldn't swing a stick in the '80s or '90s without hitting an iconic movie starring Winona Ryder. Lucas, Beetlejuice, Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids, Reality Bites, Little Women... the list goes on. After a sticky-fingered scandal sidelined her in the 2000s, though, Ryder faded into seeming obscurity. But thanks to the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, the 45-year-old actress is having another pop culture moment — and in a revealing new interview, she admits she isn't exactly sure how to handle her reclaimed fame.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and Ryder's even has a name: the "Winonaisssance," as fans have dubbed it. And while Ryder is grateful for Stranger Things resuscitating her career, she doesn't hide the fact that fame is a double-edged sword for her.

"It's so overwhelming," she told Marie Claire. "I don't know what it's like for really famous people. I keep hearing that people are dressing up like me [as her character, Joyce]. I'm like, 'What?'"

Throughout her career, Ryder has eschewed the typical hoopla that comes with celebrity. So when her career quieted down, she turned her attention to other interests, she told the magazine.

"I'm not in any way comparing myself to Daniel Day-Lewis [who recently retired from acting], but you do become interesting in other things," she said, referring to pursuits such as sitting in on constitutional law lectures at Berkeley College and sleeping in a redwood tree with environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill.

"I'm grateful that I got to start at the time I did. As much as I love it, I don't know if I would even have become an actor [if I was starting out now]. I wouldn't know how to [handle it]. I do worry about the massive exposure at that age," she said with a nod to Stranger Things' child stars.

Still, Ryder acknowledges that experiencing two pop culture moments in one lifetime isn't the worst problem to have, underscoring, "There are women who are facing much harder things all over the globe."

High-profile film executive Harvey Weinstein is facing shocking allegations of sexual harassment lodged by Ashley Judd and multiple other women. The New York Times detailed the troubling claims in an expose piece Thursday, citing that their research found undisclosed allegations against Weinstein stretching over nearly three decades.

According to The Times, these claims can all be corroborated through interviews, legal records, emails and internal documents from the two companies Weinstein has been head of: Miramax and Weinstein Company.

More: Harvey Weinstein Was Slapped with a Shocking Sexual Allegation

Two company officials — who reportedly spoke to The Times under condition of anonymity — allege that Weinstein previously reached at least eight settlements with women who complained of unwanted physical conduct and other sexual harassment during which Weinstein was naked either fully or to some degree.

Ashley Judd, one of the women alleging abuse, says that Weinstein invited her up to his room two decades ago, presumably for a business breakfast. However, upon entering the room, a bathrobe-clad Weinstein instead asked Judd if she would watch him shower.

"Women have been talking about Harvey amongst ourselves for a long time," she said, "and it's simply beyond time to have the conversation publicly."

The Times also reported that Scream actress Rose McGowen reached a $100,000 settlement with Weinstein following an incident in a hotel room in the late '90s. Shortly after The Times article broke, McGowan posted on Twitter, "Women fight on. And to the men out there, stand up. We need you as allies. #bebrave."

When The Times reached out to Weinstein for comment, he said, "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I'm trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go."

In the lengthy statement (read the entire text here), Weinstein said he was a product of his times. "I came of age in the '60s and '70s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different. That was the culture then. I have since learned it's not an excuse, in the office — or out of it. To anyone."

He pointed out that Marchesa fashion designer Georgina Chapman, his wife and mother of two of his five children (he has three with ex-wife Eve Chilton), is remaining by his side.

"She stands 100 percent behind me. Georgina and I have talked about this at length. We went out with [attorney] Lisa Bloom last night when we knew the article was coming out. Georgina will be with Lisa and others kicking my ass to be a better human being and to apologize to people for my bad behavior, to say I'm sorry, and to absolutely mean it."

He also noted to The Times that he was taking a leave of absence to "deal with this issue head on."

Despite the frequency of allegations against him, Weinstein managed to maintain his status as a sought-after producer, collecting six best-picture Oscars. He has also been the recipient of awards for humanitarian work.

"From the outside, it seemed golden — the Oscars, the success, the remarkable cultural impact," Mark Gill, former Miramax Los Angeles president told The Times, adding of Weinstein's treatment of women, "But behind the scenes, it was a mess, and this was the biggest mess of all."

Since The Times piece went live, Weinstein has hired hard-hitting LA attorney Charles J. Harder, who is known for landing a $140 million verdict against Gawker after the site published a Hulk Hogan sex tape. Weinstein, via Harder, then announced his intentions to sue The Times. Although a specific figure wasn't given, Page Six estimates the amount in the ballpark of $50 million.

In a statement on Weinstein's behalf, Harder told Page Six, "The New York Times published today a story that is saturated with false and defamatory statements about Harvey Weinstein. It relies mostly on hearsay accounts and a fault report, apparently stolen from an employee personnel file, which has been debunked by 9 different eyewitnesses. We sent The Times the facts and evidence, but they ignored it and rushed to publish. We are preparing the lawsuit now. All proceeds will be donated to women's organizations."

Lisa Bloom, a lawyer advising Weinstein, issued a statement as well, saying that Weinstein refutes "many of the accusations as patently false" and referring to the movie mogul "an old dinosaur learning new ways."

For decades, the pain that women have experienced from their periods has been discounted and disregarded. But finally, it looks like doctors are starting to take this seriously — in the U.K. at least.

New National Health Service guidelines in the U.K. are now urging medical professionals to take note of people who attest to intense period pain, as this could be a sign of endometriosis. These guidelines have noted that people wait on average seven and a half years for a diagnosis. Until then, most are forced to suffer in silence, relying on painkillers like ibuprofen and Paracetamol for slight relief, but leaving the source of the problem untreated.

The masking of the pain with medications could also be making it more difficult for doctors to warn people with uteruses that endometriosis could potentially impact fertility if left untreated for an extended period of time.

According to The Telegraph, the All Preliminary Group on Women’s Health reported that “40 percent of more than 2,600 women who gave evidence to it reported they had seen a doctor 10 times before being diagnosed.”

More: What OB-GYNs want women to know about endometriosis

This new guidance is helping doctors be more vigilant in understanding how endometriosis manifests and affects patients as well as how to properly address patients’ needs and pain management. This includes considering how endometriosis symptoms can affect not just fertility, but everyday activities and that it can take a toll on the patient’s overall quality of life.

Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that lines the womb is found in other parts of the body. In this case, the lining can create a variety of health issues, covering other important body parts such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes or bladder. There can also be increased pain with everyday activities like sitting or exercise, but this can also impact how the individual can enjoy and participate in sex.

John Guillebaud, a professor at University College London, studies reproductive health. He remarked on the importance of not taking period pain lightly, according to Quartz, stating that “period cramping can be just as bad as having a heart attack. Men don’t get it and it hasn’t been given the centrality it should have. I do believe it’s something that should be taken care of, like anything else in medicine.”

For those who are unsure of whether or not they could have endometriosis, it’s important to take note of the symptoms of your period. Possible symptoms include chronic pelvic discomfort, extremely painful periods and pain during bowel movements or during or after sex. If you're experiencing any of these, it’s important to reach out to a health care provider to confirm whether these are signs of endometriosis.

The sun-kissed days of summer are on hold until next year, and as you swap out your summer clothes for winter layers, your skin care also requires a seasonal update. With the sweat and humidity of hot weather, you need a stripping cleanser and minimal moisturizer, but come fall, it’s an entirely different story.

“I always tell my patients that fall is a great time to adjust your skin care,” says Dr. Anne Chapas, who counts celebrities like Rachael Ray as clients. “If you change your products now and prepare your skin for winter, you’ll have less chance for the irritation that winter brings.”

We asked Chapas and three other celebrity dermatologists for the tips they’re giving to their A-list clientele so we can also live the glowy, radiant skin life.

Reverse damage

It’s not a matter of if, but rather a question of how much the summer sun affected your skin. “After summer, my patients are always seeking to repair the damage done all season long by the sun’s UV rays and city pollution,” says top NYC dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe. Keep restoration top of mind when considering new skin care products for fall, which means looking for products packed with antioxidants.

“Layer your skin care,” says Bowe. “Use an antioxidant-packed serum underneath your daily face cream and start using a cream with richer moisturizing ingredients rather than the lightweight formulas that are perfect for summer.”

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

“Winter comes on suddenly with plummeting humidity — it goes from 80 percent in summer to a mere 20 percent in winter,” says celebrity dermatologist, thrice Harvard-educated and Yale Medical School professor Dr. Macrene Alexiades. “This means you must be on deck to change to a more hydrating and moisturizing regimen.” Look for products heavy with healthy lipids and ingredients like vitamin B, jojoba esters and cocoa glycerides, which work to seal in moisture.

Switch up your cleanser

“The most important skin care move from summer to fall is to decrease the intensity of your cleanser,” says DC-based dermatologist Dr. Lily Talakoub, who has treated former and current White House politicos (special back office door included for discreet Secret Service agents). “Cleansers, by nature, are products that lather up and strip oil, bacteria and grime off the top level, and you want a heavier one in summer. But in the dry winter months, you want to use a cream-to-oil cleanser.” A great rule of thumb, according to Talakoub, is “the less lather, the better.”

Cool it

Turn down the temp when washing your face, says Alexiades. “When it’s cold, we tend to spike up the water temperature to compensate,” she says. “And this causes the blood vessels in the skin to dilate in order to release heat; this also results in more water evaporation from your skin contributing to dry skin in winter.” Major no-no.

Introduce an oil

“Another key change is to use products that have oil contents in them to rehydrate the skin,” says Talakoub. “Anything labeled ‘lotion’ is a water-based product with just a little bit of oil, which is good for the summer, but a ‘cream’ label is oil-based, with just a dash of water and much more hydrating, not just for your face, but for your whole body, and will make a huge difference.” Labels are key here, so know what to look for.

Shelve harsh acids & retinols

Beware the seriously stripping skin care — you don’t need the extra irritation. “Get rid of your acids and high-potency retinoids, which will excessively peel the skin and break down your skin barrier,” says Alexiades. Instead, rely on nourishing, heavy creams that combat the cold air and wind.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, country music's unofficial king and queen, have been married for more than 20 years, had successful individual careers and have charmed us all while doing so. Now they've gone and done the one thing we were hoping they would do and it's going to bring such joy to your heart. On Friday, Oct. 6, McGraw and Hill announced they're releasing an album together.

More: We Can All Agree Tim McGraw & Faith Hill Are the Cutest Country Couple Ever

Now, for those who may not exactly be up-to-date on the movements of McGraw and Hill, you might have already thought they'd made an album together. I mean, it's understandable: they've been together for more than two decades and have appeared as guest vocalists on each other's singles over the years. A joint album should have materialized by now, logistically speaking.

But alas, the time has finally come and a dream has finally been fulfilled. McGraw and Hill released similar album announcements on their social media pages. On his Twitter, McGraw released a teaser video of their song, "The Rest of Our Life" and this caption: "We are excited to announce our new album and new single, The Rest Of Our Life. We appreciate all our fans and thank you for being a part of our journey!"

E! News was quick to note that these country music legends made this special announcement on an extra special day: their 21st wedding anniversary. Y'all, can you feel the love right now? Additionally, E! News reports that fans of the singers can scoop up the album on Nov. 17.

Also included on the album is the song "Speak to a Girl," which the duo released back in June.

Talk about some great news to finish the week off, right?

When we consider our favorite guilty pleasures, layers and layers of Italian pasta is right up there. And when we dream of whom we would like to prepare that pasta, Giada De Laurentiis is at the top of the list.

More: Giada De Laurentiis' got a new recipe

While we get plenty of De Laurentiis via the Food Network and her cookbooks, we’re really excited about the news her cooking is about to get a lot closer to home. She may be planning to open up a national pasta chain.

"I've been wanting to do a fast-casual for forever," the chef said in an interview with PopSugar. "I've learned from having a restaurant in Vegas that people love pasta and they love pasta at all different price points, to be honest."

While these goals are in their "very, very early stages," she’s testing the concept at a pop-up dinner at Chefs Club Counter in New York City on Oct. 15. Ticket-holders can enjoy a simple dinner with two pasta options — rigatoni with pork ragù or fusilli with jumbo shrimp — that will mirror the idea she has in mind for fast-casual restaurant plan. "I'm hoping that I get some really great feedback from people as to whether or not this is something that people would like," De Laurentiis said.

Following that, she hopes to do more pop-up dinners nationwide before opening the first location of the chain, probably in the Midwest. But that’s not all she has going on. She’s also working on a quick-service restaurant slated to open in Las Vegas in early 2018 as well as another full-service fine-dining restaurant in Baltimore later that year.

One Little Project details the construction how-to: Wrap two black pipe cleaners (cut in half) around a Tootsie Pop or lollipop of your choice; bend the legs and then hot-glue some googly eyes on there. Voila, creepy treat.

Fall bucket list

This craft from Our Messy Table for Craftaholics Anonymous will ensure you get your whole fun fall to-do list done. Have everyone in the family write (or dictate) what they want to do most this season on a painted craft stick. Apple-picking, pumpkin patch, watch a Halloween movie, whatever. Then simply drop them in a decorated bucket. When you need a family activity, draw out a craft stick until you’ve gone through them all. Bucket list success.

Candy corn pom-pom garland

Pom-poms are the best, and they're actually pretty easy to make. Grab some yarn in classic candy-corn colors — yellow, white and orange — and follow along with Live Laugh Rowe. Then use a pom-pom maker or the fork method (detailed here on Mimi Codd — Makes). Put all three colors together, trim your pom-poms, and string them together. Halloween barn wedding, anyone?

Chances are vegans aren’t spending a ton of time at McDonald’s — generally, you are limited to a side salad if you are seeking food that fits into your dietary needs. However, McDonald’s is testing a new burger that just may change everything.

McDonald’s is testing a new vegan burger, and it’s all very exciting — except most of us will never get to try it.

The burger is, as we’d imagine, called the McVegan; however, it’s only being launched as a test run and only at one location: in Tampere, Finland, from Oct. 4 through Nov. 21. The McVegan is made of a soy patty and topped with the usual fixings — except for cheese, bacon or mayo, of course. As of now, there are no plans to expand it stateside. Still, it’s absolutely an inclusive step in the right direction.

Interestingly, McDonald’s fries made in Finland are vegan as well, while those in America, not so much.

Here’s hoping these vegan offerings are so popular there they eventually make their way over here as well.

While fans are excited about the new Maroon 5 album, the reveal of the title on Wednesday didn’t go as well as the band planned. Their new album, Red Pill Blues, will drop on Nov. 4 after last releasing new music in 2014.

More: Where the Cast of The Office Is Now

Once the image and the title were posted on Instagram, the media began picking up on the meaning red pill has taken on in 2017. Maroon 5 was happily referencing a moment from the 1999 film, The Matrix, where Neo (Keanu Reeves) has to make a decision of taking a red pill — to go back to the real world — or the blue pill — to keep him in the computer-simulation mode.

Outside of Hollywood, the reference has been adopted by men’s rights activists who are not down with feminist ideals. The red pill references their own “awakening” to modern-day feminism — they hate it. In fact, the entire ideology is called the “Red Pill Movement.”

The activists have been cropping up online over the last two years and one of the most offensive Facebook pages is entitled, “No Hymen No Diamond.” Their philosophy is summed up in one line on their About page, “Promoting awareness of the importance of female virginity and why men should marry virgins!”

Clearly, Adam Levine and the rest of the Maroon 5 group members were not in support of this movement, right? DeathandTaxesMag.com went straight to the band’s PR representative to get the inside scoop.

“The title references a term popularized in The Matrix,” said Maroon 5’s rep. “It was never the band’s intention to reference anything else. The band is shocked that this has even come up.”

Now that the group is aware of the reference, will they change the name of the album? With less than 30 days until the album’s release, it seems like it would be a monumental task on the business side of things. When it comes to the social side of things, aren’t they obligated to change the title? It is offensive to women on so many levels.

The band has yet to comment on the accidental faux pas, but it would send a strong message if they changed the title — stat!

Harrison Ford has never been the easiest interview in Hollywood. He is sometimes a reluctant celebrity, but one interviewer hit a sweet spot with the actor and Ryan Gosling while they were promoting Blade Runner 2049 in London, England.

More: Jared Leto Tells Us What Harrison Ford Is Really Like

While the two actors were getting their microphones on for the interview, Alison Hammond, of ITV’s This Morning, mentioned that her crew brought in the highball glasses from the original Blade Runner film. She thought the attention to detail was a nice touch for the fans.

Gosling then jumped in with a question.

“Are you a fan of the original?” he asked.

“No, sweetie,” Hammond chimed in.

“I appreciate your candor,” laughed Gosling.

That set the tone of the interview and it relaxed both of the actors to the point of bursting into a fit of giggles, which lasted for much of the interview.

Hammond proceeded to ask him what Ford’s reaction was when he got the phone call to do the latest Blade Runner film.

He dryly responded, “So what?”

That’s when she cheekily poured herself a drink from a mini-bottle of alcohol into one of the prop Blade Runner glasses. Hammond them clinked glasses with Gosling and said, “Cheers, Ryan! I needed that. I’ve warmed up.”

Then Harrison and Hammond broke down into a fit of laughter when they agreed that his real question was “How much?” and “Show me the money!”

Hammond also discussed Gosling’s affinity for knitting sweaters on his film sets.

Gosling replied, “Oh, we are gonna go there? It’s going to be like that?”

It was really hard for them to keep a straight face during the interview and that’s what makes the entire video so enjoyable. Anyone who gets the serious and focused Ford to laugh nonstop for a four-minute interview is a winner in our book.

Can Alison Hammond interview every celebrity from here on out? We are so here for that.

On Wednesday, Olivia Wilde posted a sweet photo of her kissing her 3-year-old son, Otis, on the lips as he splashed around in a bathtub. But as adorable and innocent as the snap was, of course some trolls on the internet found the actor's behavior “inappropriate” and decided to shame her for it.

More: Olivia Wilde & Lena Dunham Speak Out Against White Supremacy

The mom-shamers accused Wilde of inflicting long-lasting psychological effects on her son by kissing him “like how she kisses her husband” (really?). Some simply called her “gross,” while others warned her of passing diseases, such as herpes, to her son by having such close contact. A few of the comments are below.

“Ehhhhh gonna give the kid lip aids.”

“Yeah but it’s gross. That’s how kids get lip herpes. From adult lip kisses.”

“We don’t kiss on the mouth a child. The kid think 'mum kiss me like she kiss dad' it’s not normal.”

Still, a majority of Wilde’s followers defended her picture, arguing that there is nothing perverted about kissing your child on the lips. “Giving your kids a peck on the lips does nothing to them, wind your neck in you perv,” one eloquent user responded.

Wilde is not the first celebrity mom (or mom in general) to be shamed for the simple act of kissing her kids. A few months ago, Kourtney Kardashian clapped back at online bullies by posting a series of photos of her smooching her kids on the mouth.

Likewise, Hilary Duff responded to her own shamers by telling them to back off. “For anyone commenting that a kiss on the lips with my 4-year-old is ‘inappropriate,’ go ahead and click a quick unfollow with your warped minds and judgment,” Duff tweeted.

Wilde has yet to respond to the bullies, and regardless of whether she addresses them or not, we’ll never be here for random people on the internet policing a celebrity — or any — mom’s parenting. At the risk of stating the obvious: Wilde, Kardashian, Duff and every other parent clearly knows what’s best for their kid better than anonymous Instagram trolls do.

Summer calls for spending time outdoors and soaking up the sun at beaches, lakes and parks. It’s also the time of year when bugs come out to play, so bug bites and itchy rashes are more common than usual — unless you know how to stop them in their tracks. Here’s how to prevent bug bites and rashes and treat them quickly if they do occur.

Why bug bites & rashes are so common in summer

Just like beach days and ice cream, bug bites and summer are the perfect match. Bugs thrive in warm weather and humidity, so they’re naturally more active in summer. Dr. Ryan Harvey, clinical director of House Call Doctor, says summer rain also encourages insects to breed, leading to population explosions. The more critters that are out, the higher the chance of getting bitten.

The same goes for rashes — many rashes (such as heat rash and swimmer’s itch) are associated with summery activities, while others develop as a result of bug bites.

How to prevent bug bites & rashes

Let’s talk prevention. To some extent, exposure to bugs is inevitable — but there are some measures you can take to reduce your chances of being bitten. As Harvey explains, “The best way to do this is by forming barriers between yourself and any insect that may want to bite you.”

He suggests installing insect screens to stop bugs from entering your home, especially in tropical areas, and maintaining your garden and lawn. Also, he advises emptying containers that are pooling water, as those are excellent breeding grounds.

Dr. Nava Greenfield of Schweiger Dermatology Group says insect repellent is effective and safe to use.

“Deet is a controversial ingredient, but I find it is the only repellent that really works,” she tells SheKnows.

Rashes are more diverse, but our experts’ advice is simple: Be careful, and be conscious of your surroundings. To combat inflammatory rashes like heat rash and photosensitivity, protect your skin by wearing long-sleeve yet lightweight clothing and choose shade over the harsh sun. For plant stings and swimmer’s itch, take some time to research the natural environments you’re planning to explore (like bushlands and beaches) for advice.

As for fungal infections like athlete’s foot, Greenfield says it’s important to keep your feet cool and dry and to avoid direct contact with “warm and moist environments where fungus likes to grow and thrive” with your feet, such as gyms, saunas and locker rooms. In other words, wear shoes when you can.

The best treatment for bug bites

So, you’ve been bitten — now what? In most cases, bites heal on their own with a little help from topical steroids and pain-relieving medications. If something looks or feels out of the ordinary, Greenfield says to consult a doctor or dermatologist.

“If the bite looks larger, more swollen or more painful than usual, it’s best to have it evaluated by a dermatologist,” she tells SheKnows.

More: 10 Ways to Remedy Summer Skin Disasters

“Sometimes, stingers need to be removed from the skin, so if a bite is feeling very irritated or painful, have it evaluated,” she says.

Harvey offers this advice for specific bites:

• Mosquito bites. Use analgesia for the pain, antihistamines for the itch, and apply cool compresses to the bitten skin. He points out, “Some mosquitos can carry infectious diseases and viruses, and if you show signs of fevers, lethargy, body aches or headaches after mosquito bites, it’s important to get checked by your doctor.”
• Bee/wasp stings. A bee leaves its stinger embedded in the skin, so it’s crucial to remove the stinger “and hence the venom from your skin.” Harvey says most bee and wasp stings can be treated with cool compresses, pain relievers and antihistamines.
• Fire ant bites. After moving away from the nest, Harvey suggests seeking pain relief such as Paracetamol or ibuprofen and seeing a doctor for a stronger prescription if the pain doesn’t subside.
• Chigger bites. Treat the irritation and inflammation with steroid-based creams.

Treating common rashes

“The best way to treat any rash is to have it evaluated by a dermatologist. That way, it can be properly diagnosed and treated,” advises Greenfield.

She explains that while most rashes go away on their own, such as heat rash, others, like athlete’s foot and poison ivy, don’t.

These are the best ways to treat summer rashes:

• Poison ivy/oak. Remove the sting and apply a topical steroid to reduce inflammation. Pain relief may be required, adds Harvey.
• Athlete’s foot. Dry your feet properly and apply an antifungal cream or ointment directly to the rash, Harvey says.
• Heat rash. Cool down by moving to the shade, drinking water and icing the area.
• Sun allergies/photosensitivity. Treat this the same as heat rash. If the area is very itchy, Greenfield advises using topical steroids and antihistamines.
• Swimmer’s itch. Remove yourself from the freshwater lake/river/ocean and rinse the parasites off your skin. The rash should then resolve on its own, but you can use anti-itch creams and oral antihistamines.

What not to do

“Don’t wait! If you’re uncomfortable, go see a doctor!” advises Greenfield.

“And don’t use prescription creams that you have at home on a rash that has not yet been diagnosed," she adds. "It can alter the presentation of the rash, which will make the diagnosis and treatment more challenging.”

If you have enough power on the set, you can shut down the entire show just for your wedding. That is what Kit Harrington asked of his Game of Thrones producer since he’s marrying his co-star, Rose Leslie.

"I rang him up, and I said, 'I'm getting married, and it's your fault, actually,' " Harington explained to Ross on the show. "I was like, 'You need to factor in a Game of Thrones wedding, by the way.' They [the cast] have all got to be there, so the whole thing has got to shut down."

Given the fact that Harington met Leslie on the set in 2012, it is a fair ask. Since the cast was there to witness their love story, it’s beautiful that they want to be surrounded by their co-workers. Now, will the set shutdown actually happen? That remains to be seen, but Harington promised the TV host that it will not be a GoT-themed wedding.

Rumors about the duo tying the knot were floating around, but Harington and Rose didn’t go the modern social-media route for an engagement announcement. The couple’s engagement was confirmed last week with an old-fashioned announcement in The Times, a U.K. publication.

“The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire,” read The Times’ engagement post.

Harington eventually spilled the engagement story on The Jonathan Ross Show.

"I did have some plans to do it, I was going to string up some lights in some trees and do all the romantic stuff. But we were in the country, and we were under this beautiful night sky and had a log fire burning and red wine, and I blew my load early," Harington shared. "Sorry, that’s a really bad expression... I meant to do it the day after with the lights. What I meant to say was, I popped my question a bit early. Not blew my load."

Well, that’s quite a story to share with his kids down the road — after the birds and the bees conversation.

Calling all gladiators: It’s time to celebrate a momentous occasion. Us Weekly reports that Scandal’s Katie Lowes and her husband, Adam Shapiro, announced the arrival of their first child just in time for the show’s final season. With one chapter closing, it looks like Lowes is ready to start a brand-new one: parenthood.

More: Scandal's Katie Lowes Is Leaving Gender Up to Her Kid

“Baby’s‪ ‬first #Scandal Thursday‪! @shappyshaps and‪ ‬I‪ ‬are thrilled to welcome Albee Shapiro to our family! We’re happy & healthy! #BabyGladiator,” she wrote alongside a sweet photo of little Albee’s feet and the requisite TGI Thursday trappings: popcorn, red wine and...a power drill? Is Lowes giving fans a sneak peek into something coming on one of Thursday night’s soapy hits?

And though Lowes’ shoutout to her Shondaland pals is pretty cute, the little guy’s name may leave some fans scratching their heads. Of course, celebrities are no strangers to unique baby names, and we can't wait to hear the story behind Lowes’ choice of Albee. Inspired by Flight of the Conchords' racist dragon, perhaps? Probably not. Since both Lowes and her husband are actors, it could be an homage to playwright Edward Albee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning scribe behind Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Sandbox, who died in 2016. According to BabyCenter, the popularity of the name Albee was actually on the rise in the past few years, though it has dropped since 2016.

Lowes announced her pregnancy last year during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, though one particular person figured it out beforehand; the actor explained that Shonda Rhimes could already tell something was going on.

"I told her five minutes from being pregnant," Lowes explained to Kimmel. "She already knew — she's a genius."

Where have Shakira and Gerard Piqué been lately? It seems like they haven’t been with each other. According to the Spanish website Cotilleo, the couple has broken up.

More: Scandal’s Katie Lowes Welcomes First Child & You'll Never Guess His Name

The rumors were floating around the last week, but let’s take a look at the evidence: social media. Fans have to go back to a July 1 post to find a photo of the singer and Piqué together.

In the photo, the couple are smiling at the camera and dressed up in their formal-wear best. There is no sign of tension in their body language. So, what could have happened in the last three months?

Cotilleo is reporting that Shakira ended the relationship and has moved out of their Barcelona, Spain, home. There are a lot of questions to be answered because the couple have two children, Milan, 4, and Sasha, 2.

If a breakup did occur, this happens at a very big time in both of their careers. Shakira is headed out on a four-month tour, and Piqué is focused on vying for the 2018 World Cup with his soccer team.

Shakira and Piqué were never married, but there is a 10-year gap between their ages. While this certainly isn’t a recipe for disaster in any relationship, the two could be different paths in their lives right now.

The couple have yet to confirm any breakup news, and their social media accounts continue to be upbeat and positive. She’s sharing her music, and he’s been posting photos of his life on the soccer field.

Since Shakira and Piqué are currently keeping mum on the split, they might be taking some time off to think, or they might be trying to reconcile behind the scenes. With two big careers and a young family, Shakira and Piqué are wisely keeping this private — for now.

There are few things in life as comforting as the music of a cat's purr. The combo of the rhythmic sound and the soft vibration is hypnotizing — plus, purring equals total kitty happiness, so what's more blissful than that? Well, we hate to rain on your parade, but it turns out a purr does not necessarily a happy kitten make.

But if cats don't purr just because they're happy, then why do they?

More: Why Do Cats Knead? There's Actually 7 Ways to Answer That

The truth is there isn't one good reason. According to Leslie Lyons, associate professor at University of California-Davis school of veterinary medicine, “I would think maybe it's very similar to a human when we hum. We can hum when we're very happy, but also we hum when we're a little nervous and frightened to calm ourselves down. So maybe that's how a cat uses their purring.”

Kittens begin to purr when they’re just two days old and they can purr while they’re nursing. Behaviorists believe purring helps them communicate to their mother that all is well. That’s the type of purring you and I are most accustomed to — the little motor that runs when you’re playing or cuddling and petting a cat.

But purring can take on different meanings as a cat ages. Cats that are very frightened may purr. Female cats purr when they are delivering their kittens. Cats can also purr when they’re very ill or close to death. Many think it’s how cats help comfort themselves.

More: Do Cats Fart?

It’s not only your standard pet cat that purrs. Dr. Benjamin L. Hart, distinguished professor emeritus at UC Davis vet school, notes that cats that purr cannot roar, and cats that roar cannot purr. Large cats that don’t roar, like pumas, cheetahs and mountain lions, also purr!

The truth is there are probably a lot of reasons that cats purr and it doesn't have to have a defined purpose. So just enjoy the comforting hum.
