Get to know the Patti Cake$ star

Image
Comedic dynamo (and Amy Schumer squad member ) Bridget Everett has made her name as the go-to gal for raunchy laughs. Anyone who’s seen footage of her live performances — or her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon   — knows that she is, quite simply, a force. An Amazonian beauty with a powerhouse set of pipes and a penchant for chardonnay, the woman known as the Cabaret Hurricane runs around the room motorboating and mounting audience members , whether they like it or not. (They usually like it.) The word confident might spring to mind, though it feels like a little sissy of an adjective given the off-the- wall artistic cataclysm that is a Bridget Everett show .  But when it came to playing the hard-living, not-always- nice Barb Dombrowski in the drama Patti Cake$ — about a young woman trying to escape her dead-end New Jersey town by becoming a rap star — Everett felt wobbly. We caught up with her on a rare day off. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I spoke to [ Patti ...

Things You Discover When You Move To London

What do you wish you'd known before you moved to London? What have you discovered since moving here that you'd never expected? Here are some of our favourite quotes — the good, the bad, and the ugly. You're ALWAYS in a hurry. Source Emlii If you're not originally from England, invariably you will adopt fancy Englishisms — words like “proper” or “lift” Source Thoughtcatalog Once you’ve seen all the landmarks once, it stops being as exciting. Source Buzzfeed There is a McDonald’s on every street corner. Source Buzzfeed You constantly feel the need to own an umbrella but you never really own one.

10 Ways to Practice Self Love on a College Student's Budget

Even college students need to regularly practice self-love. While there are countless articles about "treating yo’self" and practicing some self-love, it might seem unattainable to actually do it. Especially when many articles are sponsored by products that college students could only wish to afford (one day, though). After all, the whole point of self-love is to treat yourself to the relaxation and care that it deserves. It wouldn’t be very soothing if you spent your monthly budget on one pedicure. Sure, the pedicure itself would be nice, but you’d immediately regret it, because you’d be stressing out about how to afford your other monthly expenditures. Although it might seems as though college students are only limited to treating themselves to two ramen noodles packets (instead of one), there are many creative ways they can shower themselves with love. Here are 10 ways to practice self-love on a college student's budget. 1. Make yourself some coffee While you cou...

10 Things You Must Do When Moving Out of Your Apartment

Image
Facebook Google Plus Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Email When it’s time to move on from your apartment, it’s tempting to just throw your stuff in some boxes and go. But, not so fast. Remember when you initially signed your lease and paid your first and last month’s rent? That’s right….you also paid a hefty deposit. Want that money back? Of course, you do. Here’s how to reclaim that money to use for your next apartment—or as a down payment for your house: 1. Give Ample Notice Check your lease to know what’s required; on a month-to-month lease, it is typically 30 days, but make sure you give written notice at the correct time. 2. Check the Balance “Ensure that all rents and fees have been paid in full,” says Amy Groff, vice president of operations at apartment manager and developer Kittler Management. It’s not unusual for tenants to think they’ve paid their maintenance fees and realize they haven’t, for example. 3. Leave No Trace You don’t want to leave anything behind, whether it’s trash ...

The Difference Between The Two Is Subtle

Relationships happen in stages. You don't just meet someone and automatically become their significant other. I've tried that. In fact, there is a big difference between being exclusive and being in a relationship, though sometimes, it can be hard to identify. First, you meet and message. You'll go on a first date, and if there's chemistry, you'll go on more. You'll see one another for a few months, along with a few other candidates and Tinder swipes, until you finally decide your crush is the person you want to be exclusive with.  But, you're not quite boyfriend and girlfriend yet. and that's where it gets complicated. How do you know when you are truly done seeing other people, and have moved to a committed relationship with your partner? Sometimes, this confusion can make me want to come to every date with a checklist: “So, we've gone out, like, five times. Are we still allowed to send memes to other people? Also, I'm ready to be done with y...
