Morning sickness is an extremely common side effect of pregnancy.

Each year the Academy Awards brings its own set of drama — from nominations to what happens out there on the stage. There’s no telling what this year’s show will bring, but you can bet that the 2020 Oscars will have their own, unique brand of crazy, whether the hosts mix up envelopes again or the winners decide to go rogue in their speeches. This year, the Oscars nominations gave us major flashbacks to last year’s controversial Green Book win: a film created by and heavily focused on white men, at a time when the Academy has already become notorious for lacking diversity (and seeming reluctant to do anything about it)....

Reddit is calling out a dad hard for unequal treatment of his two children. He took to the “AITA” forum to pose his dilemma to the community, starting out by explaining he has a biological daughter named Darla with his ex-girlfriend. The couple broke up before she found out she was pregnant, and the Reddit user says that he is skeptical that he’s even the father (“I know it’s a possibility but also there’s a possibility she’s not my daughter,” he wrote)....

Actors (and beautiful humans) Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are notoriously private about their family life, including their kids — daughters Esmeralda, age 5, and Amada, who just turned 4. They don’t post their photos on social media; they don’t even really talk about them much in the media, period. So when Mendes opens up just a little bit on her Instagram about what it’s like parenting a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old (birthday girl, no less!...

Thursday night’s GLAAD Media Awards looked a little different than in years past, held virtually, with prerecorded segments from presenters’ and recipients’ homes. But one thing unchanged about the ceremony was how it provided a platform for LGBTQ+ stars and their allies to make some beautiful, empowering speeches. Presenters Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade used their presenting speech to give a shout to their transgender daughter Zaya Wade for what she has taught them....

We may never know how many women former Hollywood producer and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has attacked and abused in his lifetime. It seems like nearly every actress who came in contact with him has a story of their own to share, and Kate Beckinsale is the latest to join their ranks. The Underworld star took to Instagram to share an emotional story about the aftermath of the Serendipity premiere in 2001 when Weinstein verbally abused and berated the star for not choosing a sexy enough outfit....

The first time I ever experienced complete, self-directed and intentional solitude was at age 15. It happened during the “solo” portion of an Outward Bound course I completed on Table Rock Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina. Equipped with a backpack full of the bare essentials of a tarp, sleeping bag, water, a map, a compass, a journal and portable food I became very acquainted with myself. I listened more and watched more closely — to both my external surroundings, as well as to my internal geography....

I’d always secretly wanted to be a sex worker. I just didn’t think I could actually do it. While most people who say this are squeamish about the idea of paid sex with strangers, what I actually meant was, “I don’t think anyone would want to pay to have sex with me.” My self-esteem wasn’t as bad as it sounds. I’d found my niche in the queer community where I felt hot and sexy and desirable....

Hulu’s limited series Pam & Tommy tells the real-life story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape being stolen by electrician Rand Gauthier and circulated via the internet in the late ’90s — but not every scene the series includes actually happens.

Is there a worse feeling than waking up early in the morning only to realize that you are completely out of coffee? We certainly don’t think so.

The easiest solution to make sure you always have coffee on hand and doesn’t have you running to the grocery store every few days is to simply have your coffee delivered right to your door....
