Brad Pitt may not have been nominated at the 93rd Annual Academy Awards, but our favorite actor still came out and did his part to get America excited about the biggest night for film and TV after a long year of no red carpets, no parties, and not much to look forward to at all. Pitt came on as a presenter to introduce the nominees for Best Supporting Actress before handing out the award — when he did, to Minari star Youn Yuh-jung, she made history as the first Korean actor to win an Academy Award....

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Outlander Season 5, Episode 7, “The Ballad of Roger Mac.” Last episode, Claire fended off a creepy stalker, and learned Bonnet was near. Jamie and Claire got in a fight, had angry stable sex and made up in a pile of hay. Murtagh chose war over Jocasta and changed his relationship status to: It’s complicated. And Roger had a big win, when he exterminated bugs....

Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has wound to a close, the first in the reality TV series’ history without unofficial ringleader Lisa Vanderpump — and, the first with a Black cast member, the fabulous Garcelle Beauvais. (Also the first on Zoom. Thank you Covid.) This year, Kyle Richards was the favorite to rise up and take Lisa’s place, but early clashing with Garcelle and a surprising late-in-the-game alliance with Brandi Glanville against Denise Richards wound up fracturing the group into tenuous teams (full disclosure, I’m #TeamDenise)....

Pay attention, ’80s babies and ’90s kids! Reese Witherspoon is reminiscing about her first movie role — the 1991 cult classic Man in the Moon — and what it was like shooting a movie at only 14 years old. But more importantly to all of us who watched the film roughly a zillion times during our formative years, Witherspoon spills her feelings about having her first on-screen kiss with teen heartthrob Jason London....

When I want to distill my existential dread into a household object, I’ll turn anywhere but houseplants. Globally, I’m in the minority — amid the pandemic, plant sales are up and the backgrounds of Zoom calls have become progressively greener. So, here’s my unpopular opinion: I hate houseplants, and I don’t intend to change. I think they’re pretty, sure, but a piece of decor that comes with a to-do list is a no for me, full stop....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. The teen years caught me off guard. Yes, I realized my daughter was going to turn the big one-three, but it didn’t register that she was officially a teen — until she was. Many of my friends have kids who are older than my four children, and I’d heard all the warnings....

Updated March 13, 2020: As of Friday morning, several states are taking the unprecedented move of closing all K-12 public schools in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Michigan have all announced statewide closures, with Washington expected to follow shortly, according to CNN. Previously, it has been up to cities or school districts to make this decision, which has been a difficult one for many, since concerns over the virus have to be weighed against the loss of services to students who rely on school meals and the lack of childcare alternatives for working parents....

I’ll never forget the day I figured out that Santa wasn’t real. My little sister and I were playing in my parents’ bedroom, deciding that we would crawl under their bed and hide. It was there, on the carpeted floor, that we found two rolls of wrapping paper — the wrapping paper that “Santa” used for our gifts. We confronted my mom, who reminded us that first, we had a little brother who was enamored by Santa....

Removing body hair has been a part-time job for me since I was a tween. I don’t mean professionally — I mean that I spend about the same amount of time as I would a part-time job removing my body hair, from my legs to my pits to my pubic hair. I’m 5’10 and Greek, so body hair for me is like a mile-long celebration of dark wiry weeds. I think I saw a goat grazing in my armpit once....

The pandemic has had a crushing effect on children’s academic performances, according to a recent article from The New York Times. The results of national tests show that 9-year-olds’ grasp of math and reading has slipped to the lowest it’s been in more than 30 years. Diving a little further into those test scores, it was determined that students are struggling with basic math skills, like adding fractions with common denominators, and reading comprehension abilities, such as understanding a character’s feelings in a story....

Reddit is siding with the in-laws in the latest parenting dilemma posed on AITA forum. A new mom took to the platform to share a problem she’s run into around visiting hours and her own boundaries. Here’s how it all started. “In order to help while I was on bed rest, my mom came to stay with us,” the Reddit user wrote. “She came when I was about 8 months pregnant, right when I went on bedrest....

For anyone who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, the Super Bowl halftime show was a delightful time warp into our youth. If you circled must-have fashion items in a dELiA’s catalog, ever touched a hacky sack or a slap bracelet, had a binder full of CDs, and/or remember feeling like Breyer’s Viennetta ice cream was the height of sophistication, you were probably as giddy as we were. But our children only know us as the people who keep multiple bottles of ibuprofen, hoard a stash of plastic bags inside other plastic bags, and fund their extracurricular activities and school lunch accounts....
