Indeed, a recent study commissioned by online legal marketplace Avvo, Inc. found that one in six Americans has cheated on a partner at some point in their lives. Noted sexologist Pepper Schwartz at the University of Washington consulted with Avvo on the study and helped to interpret the data that was collected. The results, she explains, were illuminating about the state of relationships and fidelity in the United States.

Here are the highlights of the study, Schwartz's interpretation and a personal conversation I had with Schwartz, which might give us a glimpse into American relationships and their associated bedrooms.

More: I'm marrying the man who cheated on me

1. Americans are more open to open relationships

Times are changing, folks, and our attitudes about relationships have taken note. According to the study, only 45 percent of men and 62 percent of women are morally opposed to open relationships. These are just attitudes, though. Schwartz states that couples are far less likely to feel comfortable with an open relationship in practice, since human beings tend to be territorial and jealous about the partners they love.

2. Midwesterners are the most faithful

Oh, Midwesterners. Your winters are hell, but you're so easy to love. The study found that only one in 10 Midwesterners reports cheating on a partner, compared with the one in six national rate. It was the lowest regional rate of cheating in the entire study. The number of cheating Midwesterners dips even lower when only accounting for married respondents.

3. Northeasterners are most likely to date a married partner

Northeasterners, on the other hand, are the most likely to date a person who is already married. In fact, over half of the study respondents from the Northeast were not opposed to the idea of dating a married partner.

4. Relationship satisfaction doesn't equate to faithfulness

Here's an unfortunate fact that many won't like to hear. First, the good news. Seventy percent of U.S. adults are currently in a relationship of some kind, and more than nine in 10 of these couples are satisfied with their relationship. Great, right? Sure, except that cheating rates are the same across relationship satisfaction levels — so satisfaction isn't exactly tied to monogamy.

5. Cheating rates spike in big cities and the coasts

When in Rome, I guess. Schwartz has found that cheating rates tend to vary by location, and can reflect the values of the city or region in which a couple lives. "Of course it is true that cheating tends to occur more frequently on the coasts and big cities like New York City and Los Angeles," she explains. "They have a higher population which generally hold more liberal values." Case in point? The West Coast is the most accepting of open relationships.

6. A man's social status influences cheating

Your guy's social status and upbringing might just influence the way he views cheating, and how he would carry it out if he did it. "There are some older studies that indicate men from working class backgrounds cheated more when they were younger but quit when they were older," Schwartz explains. Men with more advanced education and higher status jobs, however, tend towards monogamy when they are young, but are more likely to be non-monogamous than blue collar guys by the time they reach 40.

These were just a few of the study's fascinating findings about relationships and infidelity in the United States. If you're still curious, check out the entire study, its methodology and interpretation by visiting Avvo's press release.

While I love traditional pasta, I wanted to switch things up and make this casserole healthier and also gluten-free. And nowadays, gluten-free products are at our fingertips at just about any place we shop.

With only a few simple ingredient swaps, you can keep the gluten out of your tuna casserole. In this dish I used macaroni-shaped quinoa pasta, but you can use any shape you desire. If you can’t find quinoa pasta, then try brown rice pasta, which is also gluten-free and similar to the pasta in this dish.

Gluten-free tuna casserole recipe

Serves 4-6

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 40 minutes | Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) box quinoa pasta (any small shape)
• 1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 (4.5 ounce) cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained
• 1 cup canned sweet peas
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F, and spray a medium baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the quinoa pasta as directed on the package until tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot, and reduce the heat to medium.
4. Add in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the cheeses begin to melt.
5. Stir in the tuna, peas, milk and seasonings, and cook for 5 minutes, until the cheese sauce thickens slightly.

To the typical person who doesn't possess a medical degree or encyclopedic knowledge of nutrition, vitamin supplements seem to make perfect sense. Your body obviously craves vitamins E, A, C, D, all of the many Bs, calcium, niacin, biotin and on and on. If it didn't, why would the foods we try our best to eat each day be packed with them, right?

But there's just one problem. There is such a thing as vitamin and mineral overload, and unless you are incredibly diligent about your daily intake of nutrients — and I'm talking about having down to the letter knowledge of how many milligrams of everything you're ingesting — it's difficult to tell whether you're actually deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. Similar to how you wouldn't (I hope) open your medicine cabinet and kick back pills just because you suspect you might need a blood thinner or cholesterol medication, you shouldn't buy out all the calcium supplements at your pharmacy because you fear your hatred of milk will result in weak bones.

"There are some cases where vitamins may not be necessary and in fact harmful when you have certain conditions," says Dr. Scott Michael Schreiber, a chiropractic physician, certified nutrition specialist and licensed dietitian/nutritionist. "All women should not take vitamins, and their requirement for certain nutrients change throughout life. I recommend that before women start taking vitamins, they see a nutrition expert to determine if there is any need and definitely do not diagnose yourself with any diseases without the proper workup."

Exceeding the recommended daily allowance can result in mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting. Or it can cause more serious effects, like kidney stones, anemia, birth defects, liver damage and other organ impairments, according to Dr. Sherry Ross — OB-GYN and women's health expert at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "When vitamins are taken in toxic doses for prolonged periods of time irreversible organ damage can occur," Ross says. "From gallstones to nerve damage, supplements may be an over the counter supplement, but make sure you properly educate yourself from reputable sources or your health care provider."

Just to give you some idea of more specific side effects that can occur, Lindsay Langford — registered dietitian and board certified in sports dietetics at St. Vincent Sports Performance — breaks down the possible symptoms you may experience if you consume too much niacin and vitamin C (the latter is especially popular and present in lots of supplements and drinks).

"Consumption of niacin, in supplemental or fortified food form, above the max tolerance level is associated with flushing and tingling," Langford says. "Overconsumption of vitamin C may cause diarrhea, which while unpleasant is much less severe than niacin. For the most part, you only have to worry about vitamins/minerals becoming harmful when you're talking about supplementation with an individual vitamin/mineral and really when someone is taking large doses."

Most experts agree that, while it's always preferable to get your minerals and vitamins from a balanced diet rich in vegetables and protein, a once-a-day multivitamin helps cover the bases in a safe mannner. "The problem is the average diet can leave gaps in your daily nutritional requirements, which means you are missing out on vital elements your body needs to function optimally," Ross says. "Taking a complete multi-vitamin serves as a perfect insurance policy ensuring you are getting what is missing from your diet."

Other times when women should take extra vitamins include while trying to get pregnant and during pregnancy and breastfeeding — when higher amounts of folic acid, vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, iron, vitamin D and B-complex vitamins, are needed, Ross says. Women older than 50 often need additional calcium and vitamin D for osteoporosis prevention, she says.

Outside of this, and what a nutritionist says you are deficient in, you shouldn't feel a need to have a cabinet packed with supplements.

And anyone who is on medication such as aspirin, blood thinners, steroids, heart and immune-suppressing medications should always ask their health care provider if vitamin supplements are safe — particularly if you are planning to have surgery because vitamins can cause excessive bleeding and other complications.

The bottom line: "For healthy women, a one-a-day multivitamin from a reputable vitamin manufacturer would typically be considered safe and would not need a doctor's approval," Ross says. "For those with medical problems or who are taking medication, I recommend you speak with your health care provider before taking any vitamin supplements."

Though you'll get to see almost every frightening monster that kept you up at night as a kid after a long night of reading and choosing the wrong path for yourself, these are some of the most noteworthy characters that Goosebumps has brilliantly reimagined.

More: The top 10 best Halloween movies for kids

1. The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena

Though the book takes place in Alaska, the movie makes this character work with a cleverly set-up ice skating rink as our heroes in the movie fight to keep the Abominable Snowman from tearing up their town of Greendale, Maryland.

2. The Lawn Gnomes

These little pests come to the big screen and are just as annoying as ever. But they first wreaked havoc in the Goosebumps book Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes. Remember the movie Gremlins? Yup, that's about how chaotic their scene in the new Goosebumps movie becomes. Worse, they're even harder to get rid of.

3. King Jellyjam

King Jellyjam is probably the most unexpected horror of them all. A viscous goo that will suck you up and not spit you out, it is faster than you'd expect. Not only do our heroes in the movie have to save their town from all the monsters, they have to do it before the Jellyjam eats them up. The Horror at Camp Jellyjam is the book to read if you want to refresh your memory on this grossness.

4. The Werewolf

Though werewolves cropped up a lot in the Goosebumps world, you can expect this one to be rocking some gym shorts, paying homage to The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. This scene in the movie goes down in a grocery store — specifically, the meat aisle where the steaks get more mauled than any of the characters.

5. The Giant Praying Mantis

This antagonist understandably appears in the book titled A Shocker on Shock Street. Let's just say a giant praying mantis is definitely a shocker and definitely something we'd like to keep in the pages of a book rather than on the streets, as happens in the film.

6. Slappy the Dummy

Probably the most infamous and baddest of the bad, Slappy the Dummy was like the kid-appropriate version of Chucky. Although, I wouldn't say he was any less terrifying. He most notably appeared in the Goosebumps book Night of the Living Dummy, starring Slappy himself as a troublesome ventriloquist. He's just as menacing in the movies and he's got a bone to pick with R.L. Stine himself.

7. The Ghost Next Door

This one gets a surprising Goosebumps-appropriate homage that we don't want to ruin, so just go see the movie, which hits theaters Oct. 16. It is the perfect way to get yourself in the nostalgic Halloween mood.

Which character are you most excited to see in the new Goosebumps movie?

1. Rudolf Abel's wooden nickel mishap

Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), whose real name was Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher, moved to New York City to work as a KGB agent. Like a scene straight out the spy show The Americans, Abel would receive encoded information at predetermined "dead drop" locations. At one point, he received a hollowed-out nickel, but either lost it or spent it before opening it. The hollow nickel was exchanged throughout New York City for nearly a year before a 13-year-old newsboy received the nickel as payment. When he accidentally dropped it, the nickel opened and revealed a microscopic photograph with a series of numbers. The boy turned it over to a police officer, who gave it to the FBI. The FBI was never able to decode the message.

2. James Donovan's trip to Cuba

James Donovan (Tom Hanks) was sent to Cuba in 1962 to negotiate an exchange of 1,113 prisoners for $53 million in food and medicine, which he successfully completed. Castro was impressed that Donovan had brought his son with him on the trip. However, when the CIA asked Donovan to give Castro a scuba diving suit contaminated with lethal chemical agents and a diving regulator loaded with tuberculosis germs, Donovan refused, and instead gave Castro his own diving suit as a gift.

3. A cold welcome home for spy Francis Gary Powers

Francis Gary Powers' (Austin Stowell) U-2 aircraft was hit by a Soviet missile, forcing him to eject. He was captured by the Soviets, convicted of espionage and sentenced to three years' imprisonment and seven years of hard labor. After he was traded for Soviet spy Rudolph Abel, Powers was not given a hero's welcome back in the U.S. because he didn't activate his aircraft's self-destruct mechanism to destroy the plane and camera equipment.

4. No death by shellfish toxin

Powers was also faulted because didn't take his own life with the "scratcher" the CIA provided him, which was a sliver dollar loaded with shellfish toxin, called saxitoxin. Though using biological warfare was later outlawed by President Nixon, the CIA admitted to keeping a secret stash of saxitoxin and snake venom. This stockpile was later dismantled.

5. Crash No. 2 would be Powers' last

While working for Los Angeles' KNBC news in 1977, Powers was killed in a helicopter crash while covering the brush fires in nearby Santa Barbara. His engine ran out of fuel and he maneuvered the helicopter to the Sepulveda Dam to avoid crashing into children playing in the area. He died on impact.

6. Powers' son makes a cameo in the film

Francis Gary Powers Jr., plays a CIA agent involved with the training of the U-2 pilots, more commonly referred to as “drivers” at the time.

7. Steven Spielberg's personal connection to the story

Director Steven Spielberg's father Arnold visited Russia when Spielberg was a boy, just shortly after Francis Gary Powers was shot down. Spielberg's father and three of his colleagues from General Electric waited in line to get into the country. The line was long because Soviet officials were setting Powers' flight suit, helmet and the remains of the U-2 on display. The Soviet officials, according to Spielberg, "got them to the head of the line, not to convenience them, because after they got to the head of the line this Russian pointed to the U-2 and then pointed to my dad and his friends and said, 'Look what your country is doing to us,' which he repeated angrily several times before handing back their passports."

Spielberg never forgot that story, and it's clearly what inspired him to want to make a film about the event.

8. Propaganda films shown to children

In Bridge of Spies, we see Donovan's young son Roger (Noah Schnapp) preparing in case of a nuclear bomb. Historians generally agree that these efforts to prepare schoolchildren to survive an atom bomb was mostly propaganda. Here is a real "duck and cover" educational video shown to kids in the early 1950s.

9. Steven Spielberg on casting Shakespearean actor Mark Rylance

Spielberg had been following British actor Mark Rylance's career for years, hoping to one day cast him in a film. "Mark is one of the most extraordinary actors working anywhere. I saw him in Twelfth Night and that pretty much cinched it for me," said Spielberg. Rylance recently starred in the Emmy-nominated PBS miniseries Wolf Hall.

Whether it's actors, singers or sports stars, the people who show up on the covers of magazines in the grocery store checkout line have more chances than we may even realize to influence how our kids think. Not buying it? Take a look at what happened when the Hatch kids were given quotes from some of the biggest feminists in Hollywood (and Washington!) and how words from folks with star power affected them:

Powerful words from celebrity feminists. Even more powerful takeaway from the kids! They're not just listening, but they're thinking about what it is these words mean and really taking them to heart.

1. Trump tantrum

Donald Trump is threatening to boycott the next GOP debate unless CNBC agrees to make it no longer than two hours and includes opening and closing statements from each candidate — you know, basically impossible things when you have more than 10 candidates on stage and have to include commercial breaks. The reason behind the kerfuffle is Trump wants more time to talk about his platform unchallenged. Ben Carson heard about Donald's tantrum and basically said "me too." No word yet on whether more GOP candidates will join in, but you know how it goes. When one baby cries, the whole nursery gets excited. — CNN

2. Well, that's embarrassing

Wayne Simmons, who's appeared on Fox News dozens of times as a "former CIA operative," was arrested yesterday for, well, not ever being a CIA operative. Turns out he's been lying about his background for decades and even used it to get government security clearances and a job as a defense contractor. Fox News reps say they never paid for Simmons for his appearances, but they refused to answer a question about how exactly they verified his background. Simmons has been charged with fraud and could face up to 35 years in prison. — Washington Post

3. Power Ranger

Today, Major Lisa Jaster becomes the third-ever female soldier to graduate from the Army Ranger School. She is the last in the group of 19 women who started the training in April. Two others completed the training and graduated, while the other 16 were dropped from the course. As of September, the school is open to any qualified soldier, but graduation does not mean automatic entry in the regiment. That has its own requirements and assessment. — USA Today

4. Thanks for flying

US Airways will have its final flight tonight. The company has merged with American and will now fly under that name. To commemorate the occasion, passengers will be treated to "gate-side festivities" at both departure and arrival. They'll also cheer the US Airways name with an onboard Champagne toast. By Saturday morning, US Airways signage will be gone from airports across the nation, and a brand we've all grown up with will be gone. — Charlotte Observer

5. The circle of life?

A Danish zoo publicly dissected a lion and people are freaking out about it. Officials at the Odense Zoo in Denmark killed the lion to avoid inbreeding among their lion population, then dissected the body as an "anatomy lesson" in front of a group of parents and school-aged kids. The locals don't seem to take much issue with it, but many from other countries took to the zoo's Facebook page to voice their concerns. Said one Dane in response, "This isn't the Disney Channel. Get over it." — ABC News

6. Rest in peace, sort of

Airbnb, the travel accommodation rental website, is holding a contest to let one lucky winner spend Halloween night in the catacombs in Paris. The catacombs contain the remains of more than 6 million people, but only a very small portion of the underground tunnel system is open to the public. The winner of the contest will receive access to the tunnels overnight, as well as a private underground concert, bedtime storytelling and some posh accommodations set up in one of the open spaces. They'll also probably get haunted. Like, a lot. — BBC

10. Irish wolfhound

This gargantuan sweetie may look like a werewolf from Harry Potter, but it's actually a loyal and quiet pooch with an ancient history (as old as 7000 BC). They're imposing in size but have a sweet smile that belies their size. That smile is what's perfect for your fam, but the size will keep all but the bravest intruders at bay, which is probably why one of these puppies costs around $1,900.

9. Landseer

A sweet disposition makes this variant of the Newfoundland a popular choice (and one expensive pooch at an average $2,000 per pup). Good swimmers, Landseers are affectionate family members, and as an added bonus, they don't drool as much as some giant-breed dogs. The higher price point may be related to having the same likeability of their Newfoundland cousins but with comparatively lither bodies making them quicker, more tireless and easier to train — and a less dense coat is always a bonus for grooming.

8. Norfolk terrier

They may be tiny, but Norfolk terriers are fearless… maybe even stubborn. But don't call these little guard dogs ankle-biters. They actually aren't as vocal as most small dogs are either. These happy, confident and spirited pooches, valued at an average of $2,000, are worth every penny to big dog lovers who need a small dog.

7. Black Russian terrier

The gentle giant known as the black Russian terrier is multitalented, excelling in obedience, agility, guarding and more. It looks in many ways like the typical Scottish terrier we're all accustomed to, but it's a much larger dog than most think of. It's good with kids and a great guard dog but has plenty of pizzazz, which could explain the $2,000 average price per puppy.

6. French bulldog

The Frenchie, as it's oft called, has the kind of personality that's a dream for an apartment dweller with a size to match. It's laid-back (some might go so far as lazy), but it can be playful and is easy to train. As with many a small, strong dog, it can be a bit stubborn, but for all these strengths, if we had to guess, the average of $2,050 you'd pay for a puppy has to do with its natural sense of humor that's earned the breed another nickname: clown dog.

5. Olde English bulldogge

No, Charles Dickens didn't take over writing this article. This is actually not the same thing as the old English bulldog. This American version has only been around since the 1970s. It looks very much like its cousin with the more modern spelling, but it was just accepted into UKC as an official breed in 2014, perhaps contributing to the puppies being a bit spendy at $2,150 each on average.

4. Berger Picard

This may look like a scruffy little mutt to some, but the Berger Picard has a fancy price tag to go with a fancy name (it's pronounced "bare-ZHAY pee-CARR"). At an average of $2,250 per puppy, the Berger Picard is lively, playful and intelligent. It's known to be pretty laid-back but has a stubborn streak that may catch some off guard given its otherwise loyal behavior. It's our guess that its undying commitment to hard work and its human (and even animal) companions explains the high cost but beware: This seemingly unassuming pooch has quite the picky palate.

3. Portuguese water dog

At first glance, the Portuguese water dog may look like a big, lumbering dodo. Some may even be intimidated by its size. But it's actually a very affectionate pup with a cheerful and energetic nature known for its courage and intelligence. It is good at a variety of athletic and intelligence competitions like agility and obedience. Perhaps its multiple talents and bubbly nature explain its average $2,500 puppy value.

2. Tibetan mastiff

One of the more ancient breeds, the Tibetan mastiff isn't a true mastiff, despite the hefty price tag of around $3,000 per pup. This breed was made for working but is also a born protector. Courageous, loyal and protective, this is the guy or gal you want with you if you happen across a bear in the woods. But it really isn't appropriate for smaller homes or yards as it needs plenty of room to play.

1. Dogo Argentino

Dogo Argentino, aka the Argentine mastiff, is a large, muscular dog with a short white coat bred for hunting (especially wild boar). Some have spots, but those spots, while adorable, are not breed standard and considered a flaw (meaning you could probably get a discount by pointing out you could connect the dots).

Because they were bred from the extinct Cordoba fighting dog (and look very much like the much-maligned pit bull), they're banned in many countries. However, the modern Dogo Argentino is actually bred to be gentle. They're good with children and other animals if socialized early. Fortunately, they're perfectly legal in the U.S… that is, if you can afford one. They go for an average puppy price of $3,900.

On Thursday, Jessa posted a sweet picture of Seewald holding Anna and Josh Duggar's newborn, Meredith Grace. She captioned the picture, "Awww, melts my heart! He got the baby to sleep! He's gonna be such a good daddy! @ben_seewald #MeredithGrace."

"Both of you are going to be wonderful parents jessa [sic]," stacey.mcmahon.35 shared. Another fan, hopingfortheday97, shared similar sentiments, writing, "I can't wait to see how Ben reacts to his baby. Y'all will make amazing parents!"

3. Burgers stacked with flavor

These days, anything you can put on or stuff into a burger has seemingly been done. But what about the bun? Burger King may be bringing us to the next frontier of flavor with its A.1.

We're all for flavor, but another trend that seemingly won't die is the colored burger bun — McDonald's just introduced a gray bun in China, and this year black buns finally made their way from Asia to the U.S. Can we advocate for combining the trends and creating an orange Doritos Locos bun?

The Environmental Working Group recently discovered 86 breads and baked goods that contain potassium bromate, a possible cancer-causing additive. Potassium bromate is used to give commercially baked goods a firm texture, help them rise and to give them a bright white color when baked, but the substance has been linked to cancer and tumors in studies done on animals. Several countries have already banned or begun to regulate the use of the substance, but California is the only state in the U.S. that requires a warning label on food that contains the ingredient. — Los Angeles Times

Finally, after a nearly crippling listeria outbreak, Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream is returning to store shelves by Oct. 22.

Luckily the company has cleaned up its act and was able to survive the financial hurdles thrown its way in the meantime, and it will be back just in time to start selling its seasonal fall flavors. — Eater

Like every other proud parent, Ashton Hamner of Hamilton, Alabama, had posted photos of her 16-month-old daughter Lennox to her personal Facebook page. It wasn't until Hamner was scrolling through Facebook later that she found the same photos of her adorable daughter — Photoshopped with offensive messages and turned into Facebook memes.

More: Facebook found my mother in 2 days

The pictures of young Lennox were altered with cruel messages, like, "When you find out your baby has cancer and realize you're gonna get your old life back," and, "When your baby has cancer, don't love it, dump it on Nan."

One photo even said, "When the cancer treatments are stopped but they've turned your baby retarded."

Once the mom in this case discovered the offensive images, she did everything right. She reported the memes containing stolen pictures of her daughter to Facebook, and they were immediately taken down. Hamner has also changed her Facebook privacy settings so that Lennox's photos are no longer visible. While it's acceptable and even encouraged to share photos from other users on Facebook, it's illegal to alter an image and repost to another profile or Facebook group.

Another mother found her 4-year-old daughter's photos making rounds on Facebook, when she was "digitally kidnapped" by a man pretending to be her father. Teens and tweens have been known to steal cute baby pictures from social media to create a virtual fantasy life with baby role-play.

If this isn't an alarm bell for parents to increase their Facebook privacy settings, we don't know what is.

There is a reason this breakdown keeps happening again and again. Most of us made our Facebook profiles back in the early days, as many as 10 years ago. And boy, have things (and especially Internet rules) changed since then. And then we grew up, and we had kids and we completely forgot about our original privacy settings. The default Facebook privacy setting we signed up for in 2005 is most likely the privacy setting we use today.

But if you are a parent who is sharing pictures of your child on Facebook — as it is safe to assume that 99 percent of parents do — this is the time to tighten the privacy controls on an account you may have created a decade ago. The Facebook Help Center makes the process extra easy for you:

1. Click the triangle icon in the upper-right corner of any Facebook page.
2. Click "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
3. Click "Privacy" in the left side bar.
4. Choose a preferred setting under "Who can see my stuff?" (Allowing only Friends to see posts and images is recommended.)

This is going to solve the majority of our image-stealing problems right here. And in the event that a random Internet troll is able to steal a picture of a child, despite stringent privacy controls, it's important to report the stolen image to Facebook immediately so that it can be taken down, as Hamner did.

As horrible as this story is, it's easy to think that it couldn't happen to you or your kids. But given the fact that Facebook is ever-popular among parents, and that over 11 million young users have quit the site since 2011, the risk is real. No, everyone on Facebook isn't out to get you, but taking basic privacy precautions just makes sense. Like you would buckle your child's seatbelt before driving, take a quick second to change your privacy settings. You won't regret that you did.

During a recent interview with Billboard magazine, the "Born This Way" hit maker revealed she's struggled with depression and anxiety her whole life, and she feels the rapid evolution of technology may be to blame for so many kids feeling this way, too.

"There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated," she told the publication. "They read all of this extremely hateful language on the Internet. The Internet is a toilet. It is. It used to be a fantastic resource — but you have to sort through shit to find the good stuff."

Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, may be in a good place in her life right now: She's been producing music she's really passionate about and has found the man of her dreams, Taylor Kinney, but that doesn't mean she isn't still suffering.

"I've suffered through depression and anxiety my entire life, I still suffer with it every single day," she confessed. "I just want these kids to know that that depth that they feel as human beings is normal. We were born that way. This modern thing, where everyone is feeling shallow and less connected? That's not human."

We applaud Gaga for being so brave and opening up about her struggles while encouraging others in similar situations to do the same. It's also fantastic that she can share her personal trials and tribulations in a bid to raise awareness for mental illness.

From The BreakWomb comes this hilarious look at what it would look and sound like if moms talked to one another the way they talk to their kids. From not getting more wine until you finish what you've been given to being scolded for interrupting someone when she's speaking, they touch on some phrases with which most moms are more than a little familiar.

As funny as it is, it really does make you stop and think about how we speak to our children, how maybe we can take the condescension down just a notch at times. We can't always treat them like adults — because they're not adults — but perhaps even though we've told them not to do something 852 times, we can attempt to muster up just a little more patience when they do it for the 853rd time.

The baking genius at Oh, Bite It! revamped the cupcake, taking it out of its paper wrapper and actually putting it into a glass — along with a ton of frosting, some powdered sugar and an overturned mini bottle of rum. Part cocktail, part cake, all good.

To get that classic rum and Coke flavor, you simply replace the liquid called for in a boxed cake mix with some Coke. Then you pile on some salted caramel frosting (the perfect match for gold rum), sprinkle it all with powdered sugar and plop in a bottle of rum.

The overturned bottle slowly drips into the glass, mingling with the salted caramel frosting and chocolaty Coke cake. It's actually really simple to make, but the presentation has a wow factor that's hard to forget.

It's the perfect boozy adult treat, for parties or just for nights when you feel like indulging. And you can choose your favorite kind of rum, though spiced, gold or even coconut rum sound the best to me. Either way, I think we can all agree that this is one boozy treat that's a must-try.

The U.K.-based model has since been overwhelmed by the support and solidarity she’s received. Models, young women, mothers, agencies, photographers and the press have all written to her about the pressures of the fashion industry and how it has made them or their friends feel, she wrote in a follow-up letter. “Being you, or the best version of you, is not enough for the majority of agencies.”

Without naming the agency, Howard aired her anger at the hypocrisy: “I refuse to feel ashamed and upset on a daily basis for not meeting your ridiculous, unattainable beauty standards, whilst you sit at a desk all day, shovelling cakes and biscuits down your throats and slagging me and my friends off about our appearance. The more you force us to lose weight and be small, the more designers have to make clothes to fit our sizes, and the more young girls are being made ill. It's no longer an image I choose to represent.”

With the prevalence of body-image disorders in the fashion industry, it’s heartening to see Howard able to clearly distinguish between the agency’s expectations and her own self-worth. “In case you hadn't realised, I am a woman. I am human. I cannot miraculously shave my hip bones down, just to fit into a sample size piece of clothing or to meet 'agency standards'. I have fought nature for a long time, because you've deemed my body shape too "curvaceous", but I have recently began to love my shape. I don't have big boobs, but my bum is ok plus, a large majority of my clients are ok with this."

In a follow-up letter in The Huffington Post, she says she does plan to continue modelling — but on her terms. "I will continue to do it, but only on my terms. My mental and physical health is of more importance than a number on a scale, however much you wish to emphasise this.”

Before the video was removed from photographer Mico Abrigo's Facebook page earlier today, it had been viewed over 750,000 times.

Unfortunately, it's nothing new to see a video clip of a racist monologue on social media. But this one is a little different, with many of the comments focusing on the fact that the abusive woman is black.

"I don't understand how second/third generation immigrants can say things like 'go back to your own country' when that is the kind of prejudice that our ancestors faced," one ethnic minority Londoner commented.

"She's going on like she's English herself. Go back to your country and we will go back to ours," commented a user from a Muslim background.

"Wasn't a white women this time, turns out people from other races have a nasty racist streak in them," said another.

"It's shocking and worrying to see this happening. This is a reminder that prejudice can come from any direction," Sunder Katwala, Director of British Future, an independent think tank that works on identity issues, told BBC News. "The fact the woman is black does not make it more or less acceptable. In a diverse society, we need to fight against this type of behaviour no matter where it's coming from."

TMZ also reported that Odom is showing signs of improvement in the functioning of his heart. And that it is a good sign that a vital organ is on the mend.

Unfortunately, TMZ's sources are reporting that Odom is not communicating, unlike the reports from ET. Rather, the outlet says there are body movements including eye opening, but doctors are stating that they are all involuntary.

Being a mommy is so rewarding but hard work so we need to stick together and help each other out.”

Supplies:

• Nail dotter
• Essie's Blanc
• China Glaze's Liquid Leather

Directions:

Step 1:

Start with a white base coat.

Step 2:

Using your nail dotting tool, make various eye and mouth shapes on each nail and let dry. You can make large oval eyes with a small circle mouth for a spooked look, and small eyes and a large oval mouth for a screaming look, etc. Let dry.

Step 3:

With white polish on the dotting tool, put a white dot on each eye of a few of the faces to add some personality. Have them on the edge of the black eye to make them look to the side, or place the white dot in the center to make them look forward. Let dry and follow with a top coat.

I mean, that is why the show invited controversial — and very conservative — political commentator Ann Coulter to discuss her views on immigration reform, right? It's highly unlikely producers expected the group to sit down and chat over tea and crumpets; their only goal was to pit the women against each other and grab a bowl of popcorn for themselves.

Coulter and The View host Raven-Symoné did not disappoint.

As Coulter proceeds to make inflammatory comments about immigrants being mostly low-wage workers — one of the points in her new book, Adios, America — she's met with calm opposition from The View guest hosts Padma Lakshmi and Ana Navarro. Coulter seems game to engage in debate over the topic with Lakshmi and Navarro, but when Raven-Symoné attempted to enter the conversation, Coulter wasn't havin' it.

"I have a question," Raven-Symoné interjected. "My mom taught me when I was younger, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all,' and, why do you think that it's important to mud-sling and have these words that obviously touch the hearts and souls of so many people in America being said, when we're taught something different as a child? Can you explain that to me? And why do you think your success is based off of that?"

After the briefest of pauses, Coulter emphatically answered, "Well, I'm at least talking about policy. You have a position on what people's names should be. Watermelondrea... I mean, you'll insult people for their names. I'm talking about a government policy that affects all Americans, and immigrants, and the people living here  — and it's harming our country. So you don't follow it."

Coulter, of course, was referring to recent racially charged comments made by Raven-Symoné while talking about a recent study that found people linked "black-sounding" names to aggression.

“Can we take back racist and say discriminatory?” Raven-Symoné said on the show last week. “Because I think that’s a better word. And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in the video. I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you.”

Ann Coulter schooling another person for being racist is a concept that's kind of hard to wrap your head around, and the irony wasn't lost on Twitter users.

At least the messy exchange does have a silver lining: some of these Twitter responses are seriously LOL-worthy.

Watch a clip of Coulter's appearance below.
