Jimmy Kimmel is at it again. The late-night TV host is notorious for convincing parents to traumatize their children for life by telling the kids the adults have eaten all their Halloween candy — and 2017 is no exception. The first victim? Poor Jane Kimmel, Jimmy's 3-year-old daughter. On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel Live guest host Channing Tatum introduced a clip of Kimmel pranking poor unsuspecting Jane, who handles the supposed loss of all her treats with enormous grace and aplomb.

“I have to tell you something,” Kimmel tells Jane. “Last night while you were sleeping, mommy and I ate all your Halloween candy.”

“What? Uh-oh,” she says, peering into the bag. “I still have one. Don’t worry.” (Is this the sweetest kid ever?)

“Jimmy Kimmel told me to do it,” Kimmel jokes in the clip.

Things got real, though, when Jane realized her beloved Swedish Fish were no more. “Mommy ate them,” Kimmel tells her. “Daddy only ate Skittles, M&Ms, Kit Kats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, gum and eyeballs and Twizzlers and lollipops.”

As the man who plays him on Saturday Night Live, Alec Baldwin has probably spent a fair amount of time trying to get inside Donald Trump's head, as scary as that place may be. And now, he's putting all that hard work to good use, writing a new book that parodies Trump's first year in office.

The book is written from Trump's point of view as he bumbles his way into the presidency, where he promptly makes decisions and forms opinions based on what his aids tell him and nothing else. He also spends an awful lot of time stoking his own ego, according to an excerpt published by The Hollywood Reporter.

"My inauguration, the actual legal takeover of the government with the Bible and then the speech, felt totally fantastic," the first paragraph reads. "Everybody watching, everybody listening, not just the 2 million or 3 million there on the Mall but like a billion people all over America and all over the world, on TV and online — probably on radio in Africa and India — so many watching, so many listening, no laughing, no talking (just me talking), total respect, even the haters terrified into a kind of respect, everyone focused on President Donald J. Trump. It would've been perfect if I hadn't had to read the speech, because reading always brings down my mood, both in public out loud and by myself. But they wouldn't let me wing it. Still, incredible, amazing, phenomenal."

The book then goes on to poke fun at Trump, who massively overstated the size of the crowds who attended his inauguration.

"What do I wake up to? All of the disgusting, dishonest media lying about the size of the crowd, every channel, every so-called expert," it reads. "It was like bringing a beautiful supermodel home at night: You're so happy, but then the next morning there's a rotting corpse in bed. (A figure of speech. Although that did also actually happen to a friend of mine.)"

Baldwin then goes on to write about how Trump apparently has no thoughts outside of what his staff tells him. Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus all make appearances.

"Why did I care so much about the totally wrong and fake crowd estimates? I didn't care for myself, I'm used to that, I've had 30 years of that kind of rude treatment by the vicious media. What I really cared about, as Kellyanne explained to me, were the feelings of the millions of people who traveled from all over America and stood for hours to experience the most sacred moment of their lives. I was angry, as Bannon explained to me, on behalf of the forgotten men and women the elite media wanted to keep forgotten, to erase from the historical record with their Big Lie. Reince said we could maybe create a federal Office of Crowd Size Measurement in the Commerce Department, because they're already in charge of the atomic clock that controls time. Which, by the way, I'm pretty sure my brilliant MIT engineer uncle, Dr. John Trump, invented."

Baldwin's book is satire, but after watching this administration for nearly a year, it reads pretty true, to be honest. It's the kind of satire that people post on Facebook, thinking it's legit. And if the hilarious first chapter is any indication, this is going to be a must-read. Check out the rest of the excerpt at The Hollywood Reporter.

Updated Nov. 2, 2017, 10:15 a.m. PT: Fresh off her breakup with The Weeknd, Selena Gomez is spending more and more time hanging out with her ex, Justin Bieber. The amount of time they've been spending together is enough to raise any eyebrow, but now reports are really seriously considering Bieber might have had something to do with the former couple's split.

One source told Us Weekly that "[The Weeknd] trusted Selena, but he really didn’t trust Justin."

That same source also described Bieber as Gomez's "soulmate," adding, "He always had her heart and her attention."

Meanwhile, following the months of "back and forth" about their relationship that ended in their breakup, The Weeknd seems to be settling into single life. TMZ spotted him at a club, dancing with an unidentified woman and clearly having a good time, as young, rich, single people are wont to do.

Eventually, maybe we'll get some closure on this. Or maybe we won't. Either way, we'll probably make it through.

Original story:

Ugh. One of our favorite pop culture couples, Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, has reportedly broken up. Happy Monday, everyone!

More: Selena Gomez & The Weeknd's Summer Dates So Far

Sources tell People magazine that after 10 months together, Gomez and The Weeknd, given name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, couldn't make their relationship work amid their busy schedules.

"She and Abel have been going back and forth for a few months about their relationship," one insider shared. "It’s been hard with him being on tour and her shooting in New York. That wasn’t easy on them."

Even with all that physical distance between them, Gomez was often seen attending The Weeknd's shows, but there were many that she couldn't make and "that played a part in them getting distant," an insider explained. It also couldn't have helped that Gomez has had a wild year, taking time off from her music career to have a kidney transplant to treat her lupis. We can see that being tough on any relationship.

The good news is they haven't cut each other entirely out of their lives, so maybe there's hope for reconciliation.

"It’s over for now, but they’re still in touch," a source said. "It’s been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it’s been hard for months."

Despite what you may be thinking (and admit it — you were thinking it), Gomez is reportedly not back with her perpetually on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber, even though they were spotted together over the weekend going to church and then having breakfast together in a nearby café.

Here's hoping this is the last celeb couple to call it quits this year. We're taking a break from breakups until 2018, OK everyone?

People in relationships always seem to look down on those in friends-with-benefits situations, but it turns out, those on the more casual side of the spectrum may actually have a better idea of what makes for a satisfying sexual relationship.

DrEd conducted a survey of 500 Americans and 500 Europeans to examine the popularity of friends-with-benefits relationships and to see if they're actually a good idea. And it turns out, not only are they super-common — 57 percent of respondents have been in one — but they're also more sexually satisfying than traditional relationships.

More: Why LGBT Erotica Novels Are an Important Part of Exploring Sexuality

Fifty-one percent of Americans in a FWB arrangement said they were sexually satisfied, 30 percent were somewhat satisfied, and 19 percent were dissatisfied.

Comparatively, only 43 percent of Americans in traditional relationships were satisfied, 26 were somewhat satisfied, and a whopping 31 percent were dissatisfied.

Then again, it kind of makes sense. In a romantic relationship, sex is just one part of what makes being together worthwhile — but if the sex with your FWB isn't any good, then what's the point? You might as well just go back to being friends and find someone else to get your jollies with instead.

Another surprising statistic? Though there's a stereotype that Europeans are more casual about sex, when it comes to FWB arrangements, Americans overwhelmingly prefer them compared to our friends across the pond. Fifty-eight percent of Americans say FWB arrangements are more convenient than a traditional relationship, while just 34 percent of Europeans agree.

So the next time your married friend tries to judge you for hooking up with your pal instead of investing in a "real" relationship, you can rest easy knowing you're not alone in how you get your rocks off. To each their own, for sure, but it's clear there's at least some benefit to keeping things casual in the bedroom.

Updated November 2, 2017, 10:45 a.m. PT: The identity of Meghan McCain's fiancé has been revealed! After lots of us were left wondering who the lucky guy was, it was actually Page Six that broke the news McCain is engaged to Ben Domenech, a conservative journalist for The Federalist. Domenech seemingly confirmed this when he tweeted Page Six's story and captioned it with: "Love you bae, @meghanmccain."

According to Page Six, Domenech "is a former speechwriter who also co-founded the RedState conservative blog and regularly appears on Fox News and CNN." While we don't know for how long they pair have been dating, it's presumed they met while McCain was working at Fox News.

McCain also opened up about the engagement on The View on Thursday morning, giving the full rundown about precisely how long she's been engaged and how it came about. "We have been together for years and we have been engaged for a while and it was a secret," she said. "I was hoping to get married and people wouldn't find out, but people talk sometimes. And I love him very much and I'm very happy and, you know, we have been together, and everyone keeps asking me, like, 'How did you get engaged? How did you get engaged?' I'm, like, well, we were at the Mayo Clinic and my father had his scan and we got engaged because we decided to sort of celebrate life and celebrate being alive and all these things."

Original story: It's an exciting time to be Meghan McCain, that's for certain. She's recently joined up with The View, moving from the more intense work she did as a pundit on Fox News into something with a bit more fun and ease. Of course, she's been making quite the splash in her new gig (and that's a good thing!), and it's only natural that this stroke of good fortune would carry over into her personal life. And earlier this week, it was announced that McCain is engaged. Exciting!

More: Who's Taking Over for Jedediah Bila on The View?

This is certainly super-exciting news, but honestly, we have some major questions. Primarily: Who is she actually engaged to? McCain keeps it pretty darn private on her social media, and the only time we really get any insight into her personal life is when it involves her immediate family, especially her father, Senator John McCain.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, "Meghan and her fiancée are well into wedding planning." But that tells us diddly-squat about who the lucky fella is — and we want some answers! McCain has referenced him very slyly on social media, with perhaps her most blatant post showcasing just how well her significant other can make brunch. Hey, if we can't see who he is, then at least we can take comfort in the knowledge he makes a mean brunch, right?

More: Barbara Walters Is Spilling All the Secrets From Her Time on The View

For years now, it's seemed as if McCain had put all of her focus and energy into her career, which is totally fair. She's been on the steady climb upward and deserves all the success that's come her way. That said, an engagement is also a sincerely happy occurrence, and we can't help but wish her anything but the best as she preps for her big day.

Full disclosure: For a nonsmoker, I have taken a lot of smoking breaks. This is mostly because I once had a job where I worked with a close friend who was a smoker and I couldn't resist this acceptable way of taking mini-vacations throughout the day for a quick chat with her. Sure, these "vacations" took place huddled behind a dumpster on the side of a cafeteria where we were blasted with cooking fumes, but at least they were a little respite from the workday.

Turns out, at least one company has caught on to how these short breaks can add up to major time off over the course of a year. Piala Inc., a marketing firm in Japan — known for exceptionally high smoking rates — is now giving nonsmoking employees an extra six days of time off each year to make up for the smoking breaks their colleagues regularly take. This happened after an employee submitted a complaint about how smoking affects productivity.

More: How to Quit Smoking by Tracking Your Period

Hirotaka Matsushima, a spokesman for Piala Inc., told The Telegraph, "One of our non-smoking staff put a message in the company suggestion box earlier in the year saying that smoking breaks were causing problems."

Furthermore, the company's CEO, Takao Asuka, told Kyodo News that he hopes it will prompt those employees who do smoke to quit, saying he hopes "to encourage employees to quit smoking through incentives rather than penalties or coercion."

And it appears to be working. So far, four of the company's 42 employees who smoke have already reportedly quit.

Remember when it was the norm to follow tons of fashion rules? You know — don’t wear white after Labor Day. Don’t mix gold and silver jewelry. Don’t show your bra. Don’t wear oversize clothing if you want to flatter your body, and don’t pair clashing colors together… Ugh.

Thankfully, those rules are widely considered way outdated, and most modern fashionistas appreciate the fact that creativity and dressing differently is what expressing yourself through style is all about — not following some arbitrary rules set years ago. In 2017, rule-breaking is on trend.

Wearing clashing colors is one such rule that more people seem to be comfortable doing lately — but that’s still kind of tricky to pull off. From a young age, we were told by fashion magazines and perhaps our parents that colors like black and brown, navy and black and red and green shouldn’t mix into one outfit.

We can thank the street-style goddesses for changing the game and giving us a little motivation to say screw it and mix whatever prints, colors and textures our hearts desire. Take a look at how these street-style stars have worn unconventional color combos with flair, then raid your closet and create your own gorgeously clashing outfits.

Black & blue

This combo is perfect for fall and winter, and it gives you an opportunity to break up your all-black ensemble.

Black & brown

This one can be tricky, but when pairing these two colors together, focus on fun textures, prints and dimensions. If you’re trying out this combo for the first time, opt for a camel or pale, nearly nude brown, which will pop against black and appear less heavy.

Complementary colors

Complementary colors are typically reserved for sports teams, bold fashion week statements or in some cases, a holiday. Take a look at how to wear our favorite complementary color combos.

Red and green: Move over December, because we only have Gucci-inspired vibes for the red and green combo. An easy way to wear these two colors is by adding in patterns, neutral accessories or metallic embellishments.

Purple and yellow: Wear it all over or just as a shoe embellishment, but this color combo is great for making a powerful and feminine statement.

Navy and orange: This color combo is probably the easiest to start out with. It’s a great pair for fall and looks great in solids or patterns.

Other clashing colors

These are other color combos that people typically avoid, but when done right, are beyond cool. When mixing these bad boys, play up the volume and dimension of the pieces or add a neutral or contrasting pop of color (for instance, a red boot with a yellow outfit).

Updated Nov. 2, 2017, 10:30 a.m. PT: Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini's upcoming rom-com has its male lead! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Milo Ventimiglia will play Lopez's boyfriend in Second Act, a movie about a woman who works at a big-box store and tries to reinvent herself in her middle age.

We already know from watching This Is Us that Ventimiglia can pull off the most romantic of boyfriend/husband roles, so we're pretty excited to see how this goes. However, since it's a rom-com, we're a little confused about the fact that he's been announced as her boyfriend. Shouldn't he be her love interest who becomes her boyfriend later? Just don't tell us he's a sucky boyfriend who dumps her in the beginning. Ugh, our hearts can't take that.

Original story:

Excuse me, world, but were you aware that Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez are best friends in real life? Somehow, I did not know this despite being possibly Leah Remini's No. 1 fan.

More: Leah Remini Dedicates Her Emmy Nomination to Victims of Scientology

In case you need proof, here's an adorable Instagram Remini posted while having a "family dinner" that Lopez attended, because they're such close BFFs, they're actually family.

And here's one Lopez posted showing her posing with her "peeps," one of whom is, of course, Remini. They are snuggling and it looks like a truly delightful BFF-hood they have there.

More: Leah Remini & Kevin James Are Back Together for Good

Because they are best friends forever IRL, it would make sense for them to play best friends forever in, say a movie. Like a rom-com, because Lord knows we are overdue for a Jennifer Lopez rom-com. That would be a wonderful turn of events, now, wouldn't it?

Well, surprise! It's totally happening. The Hollywood Reporter just revealed that in their upcoming film, Second Act, Lopez will play a middle-aged woman looking to reinvent herself and prove to the snobs on Madison Avenue that she don't need no college degree. Remini will play her best friend and co-worker at a big-box store.

More: Leah Remini's Got a Lot Planned for the Second Season of Her Scientology Series

Supposedly this is a rom-com, but there's no male lead that's been announced yet, and we don't know whether Lopez of Remini will find love (or both? Please let it be both). All we do know is that this is a movie we can't wait to see with our own real-life BFFs.

Yet another classic movie is getting the series treatment, and this is one we're genuinely excited about. Four Weddings and a Funeral, the classic 1994 British rom-com starring Hugh Grant, is being developed into an anthology series by Hulu, and there are already some big names attached to it — according to Deadline, Mindy Kaling is on board as a writer and executive producer. Unfortunately, Grant isn't involved as of now.

Kaling, who is currently expecting her first baby, has been with Hulu since the streaming service picked up her show, The Mindy Project, after it was canceled by Fox in 2015. That show is now in its sixth and final season, and while Kaling has some big things coming up in her personal life, we're not surprised to see her looking for another project to attach herself to.

And she won't be alone in this. Kaling is joined by Jonathan Warburton, who executive produces The Mindy Project alongside her. They've already proven they can make a great show together, so we really can't wait to see what they do with this.

The movie version of Four Weddings and a Funeral followed a group of friends and the ways their lives intersected as they all attended (you guessed it) four weddings and a funeral. The TV show, according to Deadline, will be similar, but it's possible that only the lead character will remain the same between seasons, while the locations and other characters change.

More: Mindy Kaling and Senator Cory Booker Are Basically in Love

Hulu should be making a decision on whether it wants to commit to a full Four Weddings and a Funeral series sometime in early 2018. We'll be rooting for this, but if it doesn't work out, we're sure Kaling will find something else to satisfy our Mindy cravings once The Mindy Project is over.

Bodyform isn’t new to breaking barriers when it comes to accurately depicting a person’s menstrual cycle, but now they’ve taken their commercial one step further. Their new 20-second ad clearly presents a real menstrual pad and uses red liquid to represent blood and prove absorbency. The blue liquid we’ve all grown so accustomed to seeing? Consider it the beginning of the end of the need for it.

“We know that the ‘period taboo’ is damaging,” said Traci Baxter, marketing manager at Bodyform to Cosmopolitan. “It means people are more likely to struggle with the effects of period poverty, whilst others struggle with their mental health and wellbeing. As a leader in feminine hygiene, we want to change this by challenging the taboo and ultimately removing the stigma, making it even easier for anyone to talk about periods, now and in the future.”

Like Bodyform, actor, Meghan Markle has taken to advocating on behalf of those who menstruate and working to undo the stigma that exists with speaking openly about menstrual cycles.

“During my time in the field, many girls shared that they feel embarrassed to go to school during their periods, ill equipped with rags instead of pads, unable to participate in sports, and without bathrooms available to care for themselves, they often opt to drop out of school entirely,” explained Markle in an essay for Time.

Markle saw the girls’ experiences first-hand during a mission trip she took to India.

She continued, “To break the cycle of poverty, and to achieve economic growth and sustainability in developing countries, young women need access to education.”

The same is to be said for the U.S., where honest conversations around menstruation may prevent individuals from speaking about anything from potential menstrual problems to the inability to purchase menstrual products as a whole.

According to HuffPost, a person could spend close to $18,000 over their lifetime on menstrual products — this includes additional underwear and tampons, among other things.

With its ad, Bodyform hopes to help further normalize the conversation.

“Contrary to popular belief, women don’t bleed blue liquid, they bleed blood. Periods are normal. Showing them should be too. #bloodnormal,” read a tweet from the brand’s official Twitter account.

Oh, we are sinister here at SheKnows. Don't believe me? As part of Hatch, our initiative to empower kids to use media and technology to create cool, responsible content representing their very unique perspective on life, we devised a social experiment. We decided to see what would happen if we invited a dozen preteens and teenagers to talk about their favorite apps — and then told them they would have to go without their beloved phones for a week, all with their parents' blessing. Cue evil laughter. Yeah, we're awful like that.

At the onset of the group interview, the kids were more than happy to rave about their plugged-in lives. "I do a lot of things with my phone each day," said Reed. That's putting it mildly. Most of the kids we interviewed cited a ton of apps they use on the daily, from Snapchat to YouTube to Netflix to Instagram — and they're also checking texts, of course. Lots and lots of texts.

"I use my phone a lot as a stress relief because there are a lot of things I have going on in my life," Henry explained.

"I feel like I wouldn't have any friends if I didn't have my phone," Sabine laughed.

When asked how much social media they're consuming on their phones or laptops, the kids offered up answers that ranged from an hour and 45 minutes to a whopping five hours a day. Gulp. (Not that we adults are any better. Don't look all high and mighty there. We see you scrolling.)

"How many [of you] think you could go without your phone for one day?" our producer asked the group. Most kids raised their hands, though with some hesitation.

"For one week?" the producer continued. A few more hands dropped and looks of consternation crossed the faces of the group.

"For one month?" Now the worried looks are in full force, poor things — although a few die-hards still kept their hands raised.

Then we dropped the bomb: "We're going to ask you to give up everything for one whole week." That's all social media.

"Nooooo!" Jojo shrieked.

"I'm crying," howled Henry.

"I don't like this," one boy said, looking genuinely traumatized.

A few kids wanted to be clear on parameters. "Like, can we group text, like, two people?" Lily asked. Uh-uh. Nope.

Bad news No. 2: "Your parents have signed off on this. How does that make you feel?" our producer asked. "Betrayed," "stressed," and "nervous" were just a few of the responses. In the end, only 10 out of the 12 kids assembled agreed to the experiment. Who would make it through the week?

Good Morning America was pretty stoked about our social experiment, and host Michael Strahan even wants to try it on his kids (sorry, Strahan posse, our bad).

More: These "Texts From My Teen" Are Even Funnier Than "Texts From Mom"

And so the experiment began. By Day 3, the very creative (and hilariously dramatic) Reed was so desperate, she scribbled "death note" on her face and constructed a fake phone. "I need it, I need it, I need it... It only has one app... the app is Grey's Anatomy," she said, showing a "scene" she had drawn on the faux device.

Henry was nearly in tears. "Why are you upset?" the producer asked. "Because I logged into my YouTube," he said. The Force is strong; we get it.

Other Day 3 responses showed technology's clear perks and pitfalls. "I think the hardest thing about it is not being able to text my friends when I see something funny," and "Just doing this digital detox is showing me how much I use social media." So maybe that's a good thing?

More: Are We Parents Massive Hypocrites When It Comes to Limiting Screen-Time for Our Kids?

By Day 6 of the #DigitalDetoxChallenge, the kids seemed more adjusted — or resigned — to their fate.

"I feel like the only real problem is Netflix... but I've gotten used to not being able to watch it," said Jack.

"I haven't cheated this whole week," Julia claimed proudly. "As the week goes on, it's been easier for me," said Sabine, looking pretty chill about the whole thing.

Sure, there were some slip-ups. Instagram, Snapchat and a few errant texts were named as cheat moments. But a few kids said they were seeing real benefits to the experiment. "It's actually much nicer because when we're hanging out, we're not on our phones as much," Lily explained. Ta-da!

"I usually just sit at home on my phone all day, but I actually went outside," Evan said, looking surprised. Henry added that he used the mandatory digital-free time for "playing basketball" and "playing tennis." Wow. Blatant replacement of screen-time with active-time is kind of... even better than we hoped for.

When the group reconvened for a sit-down wrap up of the experiment, the producer asked, "Do you think your mom or dad could handle this challenge?" A resounding, "Nooooo," erupted from the room.

Would they like to see us try? Oh, hell yeah. Reed said with glee, "I would nominate my mom... so she stops stalking my friends on Instagram." Valid, kid.

Try not to laugh too hard. We might be coming for your phone next.

Updated Nov. 2, 2017, noon PT: Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexual harassment by another woman. This time, playwright Wendy Riss Gatsiounis has come forward, saying Hoffman reached out to her in 1991 saying he wanted to adapt a play she had written, but during a meeting, he asked her probing, personal questions.

"[Hoffman] says, ‘Before you start, let me ask you one question, Wendy — have you ever been intimate with a man over 40?'" she told Variety. "I’ll never forget — he moves back, he opens his arms, and he says, ‘It would be a whole new body to explore.'"

Screenwriter Murray Schisgal was also present at that meeting, Riss Gatsiounis said. When Hoffman then asked Riss Gatsiounis to go shopping with him, Schisgal encouraged her to do it. She refused, Hoffman left, and Schisgal scrapped the play, saying it was too "film noir."

Riss Gatsiounis said she told her agent about the meeting, and was assured it wasn't her fault.

"[My agent] said that she didn’t want me to think that it was something I had done," she explained. "She had heard rumors about him for years."

If that's the case, it's entirely possible that more women will continue to come forward now that Hoffman's name is out there. What was initially a handful of accusers turned into dozens in the case of Harvey Weinstein. We just hope that isn't the case with Hoffman, as well.

Original story:

The onslaught of accusations against powerful men in the entertainment industry continues, proving yet again how ingrained the culture of sexual assault and harassment has always been in Hollywood. This time, a former production assistant is accusing Dustin Hoffman of harassing and groping her when she worked on set with him in the '80s.

More: All the Celebrities Who Have Accused Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Misconduct — So Far

Anna Graham Hunter was only 17 when she worked on Death of a Salesman, which starred Hoffman. In an essay for The Hollywood Reporter, quoting letters she wrote to her sister at the time, she details Hoffman's frequent harassment of her and other PAs.

"[Another PA] and I were discussing why he is so nice to us," she wrote in one letter. "One reason is because he likes girls. Jenna is in eighth grade. Another is probably because he gets tired of all the kissy-assy people."

By her second week on set, Hunter wrote that Hoffman had asked her, a high school senior, about her sex life. She alleged he had also groped her multiple times. She reported his behavior to a supervisor, who told Hoffman she had complained.

"Later, I was delivering lunches when John, Stephen, and Dustin came down the hall and he shouted, ‘Anna! So you think I’m a sexist pig, huh? Anna!’" she wrote. "The whole fucking studio heard him. So I told him that I didn’t appreciate his wandering hands or his comments. He apologized and said he would stop."

Hunter also wrote that her supervisor victim-blamed her and told her harassment was something she would just have to tolerate because it came with the job.

"The bad news is [my supervisor] said it’s too bad [the harassment] became an issue. Hell, I didn’t make it an issue. He did," she wrote in a 1985 letter. "She said that for the sake of the production we have to sacrifice some of our values and just let it roll over our heads. She said we should try to have a sense of humor and just giggle and slap his hands or something."

In her essay, Hunter explained that she was charmed by Hoffman's behavior at first, but her attitude quickly turned sour when his advances became physical.

"My heart aches for the awkward virgin with the bad hair who had only been kissed three times in her life, laughing as the man her father’s age talked about breasts and sex. I want to weep that she found this charming," she wrote.

Hoffman has responded to Hunter's accusations with a statement, saying, "I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am."

Hunter now joins literally hundreds of women who have come forward in recent weeks to expose deeply rooted sexism and violence in Hollywood. Just this week, Kevin Spacey and director Brett Ratner have also been accused.

I’m 26 years old. Although I’ve been married for almost 10 years (not a typo), I don’t have children. In fact, I’ve spent most of my adult life thinking that having kids would probably be the worst thing that could happen to me even though I did want children… someday. Now that I’m closer to 30 than 20, I can’t help but wonder: When, exactly, is “someday”? And how, after years of being panicked by the idea of pregnancy, do women make the switch from “not yet!” to “maybe”?

There is endless conflicting advice about when to have a child. Every year, more women are delaying pregnancy, simultaneously creating a panic about fertility and a growing stigma toward women who choose to have children “early.”

I started reaching out to parents asking them how they decided they were ready to try for a baby. On first response, most people told me what had been true for my parents, “Well, we didn’t exactly plan…”

But what I really wanted was to hear from the people who had taken the leap on purpose. And their answers were not so much about checklists or life milestones as I’d suspected, but other factors. Sasha, a writer and yoga teacher who has three children, said it was essentially an act of nature. “Biological clock,” she explained. “Went from not wanting them to wanting them right now.”

Medical issues also had a big effect on timing. Kim Boniorno of New Jersey and her husband knew they wanted kids because they came from families with multiple siblings. She also knew she had a medical condition (PCOS) that might make it difficult to conceive, which made planning a family a priority. “We married when I was 27, and I began taking care of myself, physically, to prepare for TTC while my husband was managing the finances of becoming parents. I ended up having our first child when I was 29.”

A cancer diagnosis sped up Lea Grover’s timeline. “My husband has terminal cancer, but after an experimental treatment, he was doing great. We had no idea how much time he had. So we decided to have kids immediately, because we figured the longer he had with the children, the more likely it was they would be able to form meaningful memories of him,” she told me. She was 23 when her husband was diagnosed. She had twins at 24, and later another child. They’re now 8 and 5, and her husband is still doing well.

Lindsay, who had her first child at 30, said jealousy started her down the path of having children. “I started getting a tad bit jealous of all my friends and cousins who were having babies,” she told me. She knew her husband wanted children, but she’d never felt a particular urge until she felt this bout of envy. She spent a few years getting sober before actively trying, but it was this initial emotion that lit the spark for her.

And she’s not alone in feeling a kind of indifference toward the idea of having children. Pam of Colorado felt similarly. “If anything, I think having friends with kids and hearing how their lives and marriages had changed made me not want to have kids,” she said. But she knew her husband wanted children definitively, and so decided to wait a year after getting married and then start trying. “Once I got it into my head that we were going to do it, I forgot about being afraid of messing up my life.” They followed their plan, and she was 33 when she had her first child.

For others, it was a subtle shift, a kind of, “Why not?” Rachel, who had her first child at 23, said she and her partner had graduated college and had relatively stable jobs when they decided to stop preventing pregnancy. They’d both been born to young parents and wanted to be young parents themselves. “One day, my mother-in-law said to me, ‘If you wait for the right time, you'll never have children.’ And just like that, we jumped in before we started overthinking things.”

“I can't pinpoint that moment to any one event, just a feeling that grew the longer we were married,” Andrea, who was 29 when her first child was born, told me. Her close friends weren’t having children or making plans to have any. She didn’t feel like something was missing, but found herself considering the idea and talking about it with her husband, Matt. “I think I felt like it was an adventure I was ready for and when Matt and I talked and he felt the same, we just went for it. Although we thought it might take longer than it did!”

Cristina, who had her first child this summer, had been married to her husband for over four years. “We'd reached a plateau of comfort and stability, so we felt ready — or as ready as we'd ever be — for the massive life upheaval that is having a child. Plus, as early 30-somethings, we're no longer spring chickens and it felt about time.” She said her decision could mostly be summed up by a quote she remembers Jerry Seinfeld saying. “Something along the lines of, ‘Life gets so predictable, you go, 'What’s next?' So you have a kid.’”

If anything, what it comes down to is that nobody can tell you when the right time to have a child is — early or late, with intense baby fever or with a shrug of the shoulders. The timing for when to have children seems to be as unique as the children that timing produces. And at a certain point, one just has to leap.

How did you and your partner decide on timing when it came to children?

Hey, so here's a bonkers thing that happened when we weren't looking: Jason Momoa got married. That's right; he just up and married his longtime partner of 10 years, actor Lisa Bonet, and just forgot to tell us about it. It's not like I'm salty or anything, but, like, I would have loved to be let in on the on the news, Mr. and Mrs. Momoa!

More: 8 Things to Know About Jason Momoa & Why We're So Obsessed

Us Weekly was the first to break the news that Momoa and Bonet got hitched a few months ago, despite the news just breaking now. It was commonly thought that Momoa and Bonet have been married for quite some time, but that might just be the heteronormative patriarchy talking. I mean, after 12 years in partnership (the couple met in 2005) and having two children together (Lola, 10, and Nakoa-Wolf, 8), we'd be forgiven for automatically assuming a marriage happened at some point. But alas, Momoa and Bonet did things on their own terms and have now decided to tie the knot.

A source confirmed to the magazine, "Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet had an official wedding a few weeks ago at their house in Topanga, California. Apparently, they weren’t officially married until then! They said they ‘made it official.'" This is backed up by a reported secondary source who said the couple obtained a marriage license on Oct. 2, one week before they said I do.

The details about the wedding are thin, but from what we do know, it certainly sounds like a fun time was had by all. Among those in attendance were Zoë Kravitz, Bonet's daughter with Lenny Kravitz and one of the stars of Big Little Lies, as well as newlyweds Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender. Additionally, it's reported that, according to a source who saw some photos on Facebook, Momoa wore his hair in a man bun with a loose, unbuttoned white shirt while Bonet was the picture of wedding chic. In a fun addition to the traditional proceedings, some of the guests also performed a traditional Maori Haka.

She thought Ryan Ulrich was somebody she could trust, but he proved her wrong twice. In our one-on-one interview with Ali Elliott, she discussed her current feelings toward Ryan and his betrayal on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers. Is she angry? She also revealed why she still doubts everything Chrissy Hofbeck ever said to her during the game. Plus, Ali explained what her initial thoughts were when learning the season had been titled Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.

SheKnows: You seemed very surprised by your elimination. Was it a true blindside or did you have an idea it was coming?

Ali Elliott: I wouldn't say it was a blindside. I think my emotion came from just knowing it was over. I had a gut feeling on the way to Tribal that it was gonna be me. I was hoping there was a chance for me to stay, but I had a pretty good inclination it was gonna be me.

SK: How did you know?

AE: The obvious thing was being left out on the last vote with Roark. Me and Ryan seemed so close the first few days of the game. You would've thought he was going to fill me in. After that, it was him publicly saying he no longer wanted to work with me and he didn't need me in this game.

More: Roark Luskin applauds Ryan Ulrich for betraying her on Survivor

SK: After that, did you get any trust back in Ryan leading up to your elimination?

AE: I was hopeful. I don't know if I would call it trust. After our blowup, we mended very quickly. We were very close, almost like brother and sister. We talked about it, and he said, "Hey, I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you." I was still very confused. I did hope that the words I was hearing would be true, but I was hoping he just made a mistake in not telling me the plan to vote out Roark.

SK: Do you think Ryan is playing a smart game or is he making mistakes?

AE: I think he's set himself up OK. I think if he would've filled me in on the vote, he would be a lot stronger. He could've said, "I already had a super Idol relationship with Chrissy. We're tight. I'm taking you along with me." I would've trusted Ryan completely from that point because of that knowledge. I think he would've had both of us trusting him rather than just having Chrissy on his side and J.P. hanging out.

SK: Why do you think the tribe targeted you instead of somebody like J.P.?

AE: JP is going to vote whichever way Chrissy tells him to vote. I think for myself, and that's the reason why they didn't think they could control me as much in that moment. Maybe J.P. was a bit more under wraps and he was more predictable. They didn't really know after the merge where I would go.

SK: Are you bitter toward Ryan or Chrissy?

AE: I don't think that I'm bitter. I understand it's a game. I think Ryan is playing a good game, but I don't think he's playing a great game. He's very smart, though. Maybe Chrissy isn't as strong socially as me, so we'll see if she will be able to create the connections I would have to benefit me and Ryan after the merge. I'm not bitter, even toward Chrissy. I just don't think I know Chrissy. Being with someone for that many days, I think all of what she told me was just a lie to get me to stay calm. She didn't want me to find the Idol I was looking for. I didn't ever see myself aligning with her after having a few conversations. She always seemed like she had an ulterior motive. I couldn't ever tell if she was lying or telling the truth. We go out there and make great friends, but because of her choice of play, I'm not sure if I really know the real Chrissy even to this day. Nothing against her. We talked a lot about family and stuff like that. Maybe that's the real Chrissy or was that her way to draw me in? Thinking back, you start to weigh out what was real and what wasn't.

SK: Is there anything about Chrissy in particular you really doubt?

AE: There were times I thought she was just lying to me to calm me down and keep me on the outside. But there was one thing she said that I thought maybe I was appealing to her. She told me that after the merge we would be set up. She said, "Ali, you have nothing to worry about. You stick with us. We're gonna be great." I was like, "OK. Sure." We had talked about family, and she told me her husband was coming to the family visit. I told her it would be my sister. She knew my sister and I are great friends, and Chrissy said something along the lines of, "We're so good. I can't wait to see you run and jump into your sister's arms." I was wondering if she was starting to believe I was willing to work with her. It seemed like something so heartfelt to say. Why would you lie about something like that? I understand the game, but when you make a lie personal, just don't say anything about my family. That was probably the only thing I can say that really had me thinking I had a small chance with Chrissy. I don't know.

SK: So you're still uncertain if she was lying to you or was genuinely sincere in that moment?

AE: Exactly. I have no idea if that was a true feeling or maybe she said it like it was nothing. Maybe lying about that didn't matter to her. Maybe it was something she thought I wouldn't find hurtful after.

SK: Do you feel hurt by either Ryan or Chrissy?

AE: I don't feel hurt by Ryan. He was doing what he thought was best for his game. That's it. Honestly, one thing that has been kind of shocking to me is people saying Chrissy is playing such a great game. Chrissy has only got to this point because of everything Ryan has given her. Ryan has carried her so far to the point of where she is. If Ryan wouldn't have given her that Idol, there would've been no connection. I think she would've been voted out instead when Roark went home.

SK: Would you vote for Ryan to win at this point?

AE: I don't know at this moment. A lot happens through the merge. I wasn't planning on starting my winning game until I hit the merge. As of now, I think there's a lot of top contenders, and Ryan would definitely be one of them.

SK: Did you have a final-three scenario in place?

AE: I did not have a final three yet. It would've come after the merge because everything can change at the drop of a dime. I did plan on getting back with Lauren and Devon. Me and Lauren were really close, and I trusted her completely. My goal was to get back with them. If Roark was still around, I would've teamed up with her too. I don't think I ever saw myself working with the Heroes.

SK: What's your take on J.P.? Many other contestants we've interviewed have said he doesn't deserve to be there. What do you say?

AE: I think that J.P. was on the wrong show. I think J.P. is a survivor, just not on Survivor. He could go on Naked and Afraid, where you're just with one other person. He could make fire. He will find food. He will build shelter and survive for three weeks. He is made for that. To have to interact and create these bonds with people, I'm not sure how much game knowledge he actually had going in. I just don't think he was prepared in that aspect.

SK: How did you get on the show?

AE: I am a die-hard fan. My mom has 10 brothers and sisters, and that side of the family is all die-hard Survivor fans. My uncle tried out twice. My sister tried out. My mom and my cousin have also tried out. Finally, one day I was at home and said, "It's time for me to apply." Some of my family had gotten to finals, but nobody ever made it. I sent in one video and the rest is history. My uncle actually was an alternate one year. He passed away about four years ago before he ever got the chance to play. He tried out in Boston Rob's year, and it was his dream to play the game. That was another reason my heart was so in it. I was finally the person in the family that got this chance everybody wanted. I can't even be upset about my experience. It was amazing. I had so much fun. I met so many great people. I loved every moment of it, the good and the bad. Watching last night, I was laughing and crying. I loved every minute.

SK: Being a self-described die-hard fan, what were your thoughts when you heard the title of this season was Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers?

AE: [Laughs.] Yeah, I was a bit shocked. It was hard for me to understand where it was going. I could see myself being a hustler, but at first, I was like, "Drugs? Hustler? What do I hustle?" I understood afterward they meant hard workers. I did think the hustlers, just looking at us, we were oddballs. If we would've had to stay as a group the whole time, looking at the tribe setup, we did not have strength. We didn't have anybody confident in puzzles. We were just not well-rounded whatsoever. I think now as the season has gone on, the idea of Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers has grown on me.

SK: Which is your favorite season?

AE: That's really hard to say. I loved Worlds Apart [Season 30]. It was interesting from the beginning to the end. For Mike to come out and win it all after he was on the bottom for, like, nine people, that's what a real Survivor looks like.

SK: Would you do it again?

AE: Oh, in a heartbeat. If they said, "Hey, Ali, we're leaving tomorrow," I'm there.

Would you like to see Ali play the game again? Join the conversation by leaving a comment in the section below.

My family is a big fan of the show America's Got Talent, especially my 10-year-old son. The other evening as we were catching up on episodes, during a very emotional singing performance by one of the contestants, he turned to me and said, "Mom, why do we get a lump in our throat when we feel like we want to cry?"

His question made me get a lump in my throat, of course, but it did make me wonder. What is this thing we always feel bubble up in our throat? Do we get it because we are trying to fight against our emotions?

I've not only felt it when I am about to cry, but I've been known to try and swallow down that annoying lump when I'm nervous or anxious. It is especially hard to deal with when speaking in front of crowds. It just seems to stick there and can make speaking very difficult — you can't cough it up or clear your throat, and it makes swallowing extremely hard.

More: These Are America's Weirdest Injuries

Dr. Jennifer Stagg, a biochemist-turned-naturopathic physician who authored the book Unzip Your Genes: 5 Choices to Reveal a Radically Radiant You, says it isn't a lump at all. "In medical terminology, it is referred to as ‘globus sensation.'" So really, we just have a feeling there is something (it usually feels like phlegm) lodged in our gullet, but there is nothing there at all.

The fact that it makes swallowing more difficult is not in our heads, though. Stagg adds if you do have that feeling in your throat, you are better off trying to have a few sips of water or trying to eat something, since it's easier to swallow with something going down our esophagus than it is to dry swallow.

The causes for this globus sensation don't just sneak up on us during emotionally stressful times. According to Stagg, in some of these cases, the condition may be linked to inflammation, reflux and problems with the esophagus, epiglottis or thyroid. So be aware if this is happening to you on the regular and you don't think your emotions are a contributing factor, it's best to consult a doctor to get to the bottom of what may be a bigger problem.

Unfortunately, Stagg says there really is no treatment for the emotional throat lump. It's part of being an emotional being.

More: You Should Be Pooping in This Position

She did mention that people who suffer from anxiety and stressful events in their life "are more likely to be affected by chronic globus sensation, and there is no known way to prevent it."

Stagg adds that some ENTs (ears, nose and throat doctors) believe the sense of a lump in the throat "is the result of an altered sensory pathway (similar to ringing in the ears), which would make more sense, knowing the link to emotional status and mood disorders."

It looks like it may be something we are stuck with (no pun intended), but keeping water or food nearby when we feel it coming on is a small thing we can do the ease the sensation, because unfortunately, we can't avoid stressful or emotionally charged situations all the time. But at least now you know it's not just your imagination.

The truth is finally out and now we'll have to wait for justice to run its course if it does indeed choose to do so.

In an unsettling but brave turn of events, Corey Feldman named his abuser on daytime television. After many years and various speeches made to the public about his belief that there is an insidious group of men targeting minors in Hollywood, Feldman sat down with Dr. Oz and named one of the men who he claims sexually abused him when he was a child actor in Hollywood, fellow actor John Grissom.

Feldman claims he was assaulted by Grissom when he was around 13 or 14 years old, according to USA Today's report, but that there were "multiple people" who abused Feldman early in his life. He did not appear willing or able to name those other names publicly. The actor also claims that he contacted the Santa Barbara police in the early '90s about the abuse, but that the police department was allegedly unwilling at that time to cooperate.

In one of the few clips that remain up and available to watch, Dr. Oz sits in a room to discuss who Grissom is and his exact whereabouts these days. While the set-up of the video looks a bit sketchy and it's hard to verify just how true or factual the information about Grissom is, as derived by Dr. Oz's team, there were some shocking things revealed about the actor, who appeared in License to Drive alongside Feldman, including the fact that he has a long arrest record and the fact that his two acting credits (the other being Dream a Little Dream) star Feldman.

While it appears that Grissom may have a long-running interest in Feldman and may have a pattern of abusing children (see Perez Hilton's further reporting here), Grissom has not issued a statement at this time. Feldman is currently raising funds to create an exposé-style documentary about pedophilia in Hollywood.

All righty, folks, gather 'round, because I have something I need to talk to you about. You may laugh at first, but I think it's high time, on the eve of the premiere of Guy Fieri's new show, Guy's Big Project, that we talk about the reasons why Fieri is actually a cool dude. That's right; I said it. I like Guy Fieri, and I don't care who knows it.

The thing is he's become a bit of a punchline over the 10-plus years he's been in the public eye. Sometimes, it's all in good fun, and sometimes it's just for the purposes of turning him into a caricature so we can all make fun of him. Listen, I know that it's fairly easy to find ways to take Fieri down a peg; I have to resist the temptation sometimes myself. But the fact of the matter is that Fieri is more than just a punchline, and in fact, he's actually doing some pretty cool things with his celebrity status.

Just look at his upcoming TV show

The prime example of how cool Fieri actually is is evident in the trailer for his new show, Guy's Big Project. The flame shirt is gone (a prime example of the easiest way not to take Fieri seriously has been through his clothing), and yes, the platinum blond hair is very clearly here to stay, but this new show is proof Fieri is not about simply furthering his own brand; he wants to help others. The premise of Guy's Big Project is that he wants to give one person the chance he had at creating their own show. The trailer clearly indicates Fieri is thinking about helping give someone else their big break and using all the good fortune that's come his way to help them. That, my friends, is pretty damn cool.

He's charitable

Fieri is a total sweetheart, and that starts with his charitable side. One of the projects he's behind is Cooking With Kids. On their website, Cooking With Kids states that they are there to "encourage and educate young people to learn how to cook for themselves, their families and their friends, while instilling self-esteem, self-reliance, and a healthy lifestyle." Fieri founded the initiative in 2010 in the hopes of helping kids to realize their potential in the kitchen and to make better choices for their health. I mean, how freaking cool is that?

He's a self-made man

Fieri is where he is today because he worked hard for it. According to The Daily Meal, "He never attended culinary school but got his bachelor’s degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Hospitality Management in 1990. [...] After graduating, he took a job at a popular California restaurant chain [...] before opening his first restaurant, Johnny Garlic’s, in Santa Rosa, California."

Fieri is where he is today on his own merit. While some of his endeavors have earned him bad press, he's pushed on and persevered. He now hosts multiple Food Network shows. He owns multiple restaurants. He's has his own successful cooking show. The dude knows how to work it, friends.

He's helped shine a spotlight on small businesses across America

Say what you will, but one of the most popular shows on Food Network, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, is essentially the best marketing a small restaurant can get. And it's not that these restaurants owe Fieri and his crew, but rather, Fieri's innovative new show spotlights these businesses and helps get them seen by people across the nation.

As if this weren't enough, just consider the fact that Fieri is relatively scandal-free. He is a genuinely affable public personality, and he legitimately doesn't engage in any feuds or other nonsense with fellow celebrities. Instead, he does cool stuff like go on trips with his son, Hunter, where they bond over food and new locales or he officiates weddings. That's right, "weddings" is plural because in 2015, he officiated 101 same-sex marriages in Miami once the law officially allowed it because he's a damn boss, y'all.

All I'm saying is that Fieri has made success look like a cakewalk, but it's very clear he's a workhorse. He deserves to be more than just a joke, especially when it's clear he dedicates a noticeable and not-at-all negligible amount of time helping others in any way he can. Let's give him the respect he deserves, OK?

We're willing to bet you're all about that spiked hot chocolate and hot toddy life during the colder months, but we're about to rock your world with a whole new treasure trove of winter cocktails. Mulled wine may sound like a nasty drink they guzzled back in the Middle Ages, but it's actually a truly tasty drink that'll warm your cold winter bones — and give you a pretty healthy buzz in the process.

Mulled drinks vary in their ingredient lists, but the process of making them is pretty much the same. Add a combination of wine, juice, liquor and aromatics to a pot, and simmer until fragrant. The longer you simmer, the stronger the flavor of the spices and add-ins will be. In general, 20 to 30 minutes of simmering is ideal. Strain, and serve in a mug you can wrap your hands around to keep warm.
