I don't even think I need to comment on this, Natalie Portman's Harvard Commencement Speech, Harvard Commencement 2015, is the most moving and amazing speech.
Her comments on how acting makes her happy are things that I feel and am striving to follow. I hope people will follow my journey to becoming an actress.
Not many people have heard of Orthorexia Nervosa and it's not currently recognised as a clinical diagnosis in the DSM-5, like Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa
Orthorexia is a term coined by by Steven Bratman, MD to describe his own experience with food and eating. It describes people who have an “unhealthy obsession” with otherwise healthy eating. The term "Orthorexia Nervosa" literally means “fixation on righteous eating.” Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat healthier but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity.
They become consumed with what and how much to eat, and how to deal with “slip-ups.” Incredibly strong will-power is needed to maintain this rigid eating style. Every day is a chance to eat right, be “good,” rise above others in dietary prowess, and self-punish if temptation wins (usually through stricter eating, fasts and exercise). Self-esteem becomes wrapped up in the purity of orthorexics’ diet and they sometimes feel superior to others, especially in regard to food intake.
It starts by cutting out certain food groups- protein, dairy, gluten etc... Eventually food choices become so restrictive, in both variety and calories, that health suffers – an ironic twist for a person so completely dedicated to healthy eating. Eventually, the obsession with healthy eating can crowd out other activities and interests, impair relationships, and become physically dangerous.
If you know anyone who show this kind of behaviour, suggest they see a nutritionalist and not take advice from blogs and untrained health advocates.
Watch this interesting report from SBS2.
I will be here, eating a nice dirty burger and fries...
A videographer from Sydney, Luke Eblen, had the awesome opportunity to film A$AP Ferg on stage while he toured around Australia and New Zealand. He managed to get some pretty rad footage of the A$AP Mob kids having a sick time and killing it at tour life.
If, like myself, you weren't lucky (or rich) enough to go to Groovin' The Moo or any of A$AP Ferg's side shows then [apparently] you missed out on an 'electric' show. Luke Eblen interviewed A$AP Ferg, Marty Baller (Ferg's lifelong friend/hypeman) and TJ Mizell (Ferg's DJ), as well as ridiculously including some really impressive aerial shots of the Townsville & Maitland crowds.
Now, lucky for me I work at a club in Melbourne who hosted him and the A$AP Mob for their after party. It was a pretty great show, he had everyone signing along with him and the club was jumping.
This short vid shows the whirlwind that is touring with the TrapLord, the beautiful and intimate moments where the A$AP Mob reflect on their eternal remembrance of the A$AP founder A$AP Yams, and how grateful they are to be touring as musicians.
"Ferg shares the stage with Marty Baller and TJ," said Eblen. "All three are interesting as individuals, but they're a powerhouse on stage together."
Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton (co-vocalist & keyboardist of The Klaxons) have welcomed their first baby into the world. BIG congratulations for them on the birth of their non-confirmed-gender child, I'm sure it will be the cutest baby, they're both very attractive people. (Will update with details once released).
Keira and James married in 2013 at a private ceremony in the south of France – recently moved into a five-bedroom house in Canonbury north London. Knightly has spoken of her desire to have children in the past but maintains that she wont be giving up her career after she does have kids.
Check out Keira's most recent interview with Ellen here:
Also... Keira got baby advice from Jimmy Kimmel. Watch it here:
While we were sleeping Roberto Cavalli's latest muse has been released.
Ciara is quoted as being "so excited" to be the face of Cavalli for the Fall 2015 Campaign. The match came about when the two were dancing in Dubai, “I had a marvelous night dancing with Mr. Cavalli last fall in Dubai, and now my dream of being in one of their campaigns has come true,” Ciara told Style.com.
This isn't the first time Ciara has bee the face of a fashion label or top fashion magazine. Back in 2009 she became a Givenchy muse to Riccardo Tisci, and more recently she worked with Vogue Italia’s Franca Sozzani on the cover of her newest album, Jackie.
We are super stoked that CC is joining the likes of Rita Ora and Nicki Minaj, whom have also featured in Roberto Cavalli Campaigns.
Hillary Clinton is one badass bitch! I want this woman to be the next President of the United States so much that I am considering registering and voting in the U.S. in the next elections.
Her campaign merch is super cool and I definitely want a t-shirt! She's "shattering the glass ceiling" with her awesome campaign merchandise, check them out...
The ladies tee is a print of Hillary's classic, bold and powerful suit. 'The Everyday Pantsuit Tee' is for when you want to keep your reputation up as a stylish, badass, boss-bitch, who runs a country.
I'm also loving this plastic drink tumbler. Great for juices, weekend icy mojitos, or a gin a juice. It comes complete with matching straw.
Kids can keep stylish and political in this adorable Hillary logo jumpsuit. I think the kids pretty freaking adorable too!
She also has some badass homewares, like this pillow. It just creams "#BossBitch" and I can honestly say I want one of these on my bed so boys know I'm a boss, don't mess with me!
Anyways, if you want to get some of your own Hillary Clinton merch and support another great to run the United States of America, buy something cool here: https://shop.hillaryclinton.com/collections/all
Last night on Q&A it started out with humour on its side. (You can watch the full show on ABC
Subeta Vimalarajah, the studentwho started a petition urging the government to remove GST on tampons (and sanitary pads), recorded a video question for Hockey, then showed up in the audience.
She put him on the spot and got him to agree to raise the issue with his colleagues, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully Subeta gets her way, this will make a huge difference to something we (women) cannot control nor do we have a choice in the matter.
GST should NEVER have been introduced on sanitary items, its such a disgrace that women have to pay more for something they NEED. According to the government, sanitary products, such as pads, tampons, and moon cups etc... are a luxury. Like new shoes. Like a holiday. Like nice, shiny jewellery. UMMM NO!
France has passed a wonderful new law, that every country should follow. France has made it ILLEGAL for supermarkets to throw out edible food. Supermarket managers that disobey the new law could face jail time and fines up to $80,000 (U.S.)
The Government wants supermarkets to enter into contract with local shelters and charities instead and donate rather than waste.
Nearly one third of all food produced in the world is wasted. (world resources institute), this is a sad figure when there are so many mouths this could feed.
I praise France for creating this law, lets hope they can 'police' it and make a real difference in the world.
In breaking news there has been some recent controversy around a V.I.P. event at the Kookaï in The Emporium, Melbourne. There were comments swirling around of racism but from reading the original post (below) and the Managing Directors apology I feel as though the issue has been misconstrued.
This appears to be more of an issue of pure disrespect not of any particular racism and a very low level of customer service. This is very unfortunate for the brand as this is a HUGE black mark for so many shoppers who have already been disgruntled after shopping by experiencing their own poor customer service. I know I have had both ends of the spectrum and when I first moved to Melbourne, I really wanted to work within the Kookaï brand.
I respect and appreciate the Managing Director stepping up and releasing a statement but it just feels as though he has pushed the blame onto the 'external security company'. You can read the 'apology' here www.facebook.com/Kookai.
I, for one, appreciate that Serena had the courage to step up and openly state that she was unhappy with what happened. I hope she feels she got the apology she deserved.

My good friends from Perth, Tired Lion showed us what their made of on Triple J's Like A Version by performing Violent Soho's 'Saramona Said' with a bit of The Smashing Pumpkins' '1979' thrown in.
I can honestly say I am so proud of them and the amazing performances they do! Well done friends

So ICYMI the word was spread at the 2015 Billboard Awards that H&M's next designer collab will be with Balmain!
We can thank the stunning Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn for wearing pieces from the new collection on the red carpet to showcase the collab. I am super excited to see what else they have designed for the launch and I really hope they produce a few more pieces than the Alexander Wang x H&M collab, H&M Melbourne sold out wayyy too fast.
Such a great launch Jourdan x Kendall with a little bit of Olivier. Image source Instagram: @balmainparis
The Balmain's creative director, Olivier Rousteing, sat down with Style.com to talk about how the collaboration came about, and revealed a very specific reason he thinks Balmain's H&M collection will be different from the ones that have come before: The couture nature of Balmain's products.
"It was a big challenge and a good challenge. I don’t want to lose the craftsmanship, and I don’t want to lose the richness and the glamour of the house," he says. "I kept the glamour and richness, but we twisted it. You can find in the collection so many different garments, and I think that’s going to be the beauty of the collection. My collaboration is different from the others. H&M really challenged themselves with craftsmanship, with the high couture level of France, and the results are great."

So the pic below got me kind of irate as well. It shows Beyonce pouring, what appears to be, $20,000 Ace Champagne into a hot tub.
I would like to think that she is smarter than to pour ACTUAL ridiculously expensive Champagne into a hot tub and that its just an empty bottle with water in it but on the off chance its not... it's very disappointing.
Beyonce and the infamous Ace Champagne
I'll admit, it totally appear bad-ass and honestly, if anyone has the money to do this AND give to charity is Bey. Still loved the 'Feeling Myself' video and Beyonce but I ask, please no more [appearing to] pouring peoples education into a spa... its gets people worked up.
The way I will always remember watching David Letterman
The time has come to farewell David Letterman. He has been a wonder on the air for 33 years and has kept us entertained in the wee hours of the night. Comedians, rock stars, and Bill Murray.
33 years ago ... David Letterman and guest Bill Murray appear at the taping of the debut of "Late Night with David Letterman" in New York. Picture: AP/Nancy Kaye Source: AP
David Letterman will be replaced by Stephen Colbert in September. Letterman made Top Ten lists and ironic humour staples of television comedy and influenced a generation of performers and it was made evident by the list of celebrities who came to see him off. The list included Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Barbara Walters, Peyton Manning and Alec Baldwin along with Fey and Martin.
It was also reported that a few audience members were seen leaving teary-eyed after the show. It is, indeed, a very sad sight to see a legend retiring.
Surprise! ... Bill Murray jumped out of giant cake on his final appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Photo by Jeffrey R. Staab/CBS via news.com.au
As for Colbert, I think I'll stick to watching Jimmy Fallon and Ellen.
Here's a new, trippy clip for you. This ones from A$AP Rocky's upcoming album At.Long.Last.A$AP.
This new album has reportedly had a few people dabble in the producing including Kanye West, with other production credits going to Danger Mouse, Clams Casino, Mark Ronson & more.
This track "LSD" is more in line with A$AP Rocky's earlier tunes but more refined, giving it an easier listening vibe. Super chilled and I'm loving it. Dexter Navy did a bang up job on the visuals giving it the perfect mix of real life and trip. I have no doubt that A$AP Rocky did his homework on this track.
You can get your grubby little mitts on this album on June 2, 2015.
Jimmy Fallon is a GOD when it comes to bringing out the best in people and making everyone (especially me) laugh my tits off, wet myself, and just literally ROFL.
This has got to be one of my all time favourite games he has played, especially because I love, love, love Jamie Foxx (I think he's an absolute babe and a half).
I most certainly just lost my shit laughing and I hope you will enjoy...
Being half Australian and half American, I have this issue and debate with people (mainly friends and family in the States) about Vegemite. It truly is a delicious salty treat for your mornings, you just have to know how to eat it right.
Hugh Jackman has given Jimmy Fallon the 411 on how to eat Vegemite and this is possibly my favourite interview to date (people knowing how to eat and enjoying Vegemite makes me happy).
For all those who still haven't tried it and are interested, please watch this Public Service Announcement below.
Taylor Swift is a badass! The new video for Bad Blood Ft. Kendrick Lamar and everybody else...including Cara Delevigne, Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt, Jessica Alba, Gigi Hadid (okay, basically every awesome Victorias Secret Angel is in this), Lena Dunham, Hailee Steinfeld, Zendaya, and the leader of the Secret Hot Girls Club: Cindy Crawford.
Behind the scenes with the #BossBitches
This boss bitch, action packed video is too hot to handle! We love a good Taylor ballad and this one is amazing because this feud allegedly began when three of Tay's backup dancers, who she considered essential to her Red tour, were lured away and hired by Katy in Sep. 2014. In Katy’s defence, she allegedly had worked regularly with these dancers before and she felt that Taylor had done the initial stealing. Wowza....
Anyways, who cares how it started because it created something magical.
Okay so my two favourite people in the whole world (outside of family), Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé, have just released their music video for 'Feeling Myself' and I could not be more in love with it.
Feeling Myself Video Fashion Credits: Beyonce and Nicki Minaj in Philipp Plein, Givenchy, Moschino, Chloé, and more! Here's a link to a run down of what our gals wore: CelebCartel
