The Most Dramatic Season Yet


On Monday night, Ben made the biggest decision of his life on the Bachelor. After ten weeks, he finally made his decision and chose his wife. Not only did viewers get to see Ben propose on the show, but they got to see him propose again, live, in front of their family and friends on the after show. According to Chris Harrison, “This has been the most dramatic season yet.” Although that may be an exaggeration, Ben has been one of the most popular and lovable bachelors on the show.


The two girls with whom Ben claimed to be in love were Lauren Bushnell, a 25-year-old flight attendant from Marina Del Rey, CA; and Jojo, a 24-year-old real estate developer from Dallas, Texas. Before the proposal, Ben spent three months getting to know the girls, including a trip to the girls' hometowns, where he got to meet their families. Jojo’s hometown was a bit dramatic - she received flowers and a love letter from her ex, and her protective brothers gave Ben a hard time. At Lauren’s, her sister questioned whether or not Ben was good enough for Lauren. Ben developed strong feelings for both the girls and really struggled when it came to deciding who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Throughout a season of goodbyes and “blindsides,” Ben claims that there was something special from the very beginning of his relationship with Lauren - something so special that Ben had to say goodbye to Jojo in order to propose to the love of his life, Lauren. However, not to fear! Jojo is now the bachelorette, and America is in for another dramatic season of The Bachelor.

Andy to Lilly: A directors transition

     “I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.” - Neo from The Matrix.
Co-Director of the Blockbuster icon, formerly known as Andy, is now Lilly Wachowski. “You know, when you’re living as an out transgender person, it’s … kind of difficult to hide. I just wanted – needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable. But apparently I don’t get to decide this.” Wachowski says. The last part of this statement is regarding a Daily Mail reported who pushed her into coming out, but whether Lilly came out by choice or not she just made huge progress in the film community.
     The Daily Mail seems to think it is a conspiracy due to the fact that Lilly’s sister, Lana Wachowski, did the same thing four years ago. It may seem odd, but it was simply their decisions.
     Though a recent Oscar nominee, The Danish Girl, highlighted a transgender love story, the filmmakers themselves are not as diverse. So, the fact that a director of such high esteem voiced her change is a really big step. She has seemed to follow words from her biggest production, “Don't think you are, know you are.” - Morpheus The Matrix

Why Kate and Leo Should Be Together

After starring in the movie Titanic together and their unmistakable rendezvous at the Oscars, the chemistry between Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio is really heating up. Honestly, there is no reason why these actors shouldn’t be together. There are so many reasons and so much proof that they love each other - why don't they date?

Their love is unmistakable and goes way back to when they were filming Titanic, when Leo said, "She's such a terrific person in general that our chemistry naturally happened on screen. We just like each other as people. As far as doing a love scene, though, we laughed about it a lot." This seems like a reasonably nice thing to say - there’s nothing about it that's extremely telling - but the quotes just get better and better.

On The Oprah Winfrey Show, Leo said, "In a lot of ways, Kate and I have really grown up in this industry together; we've been a support mechanism for each other for such a long period of time. We've been there for each other and helped guide each other." It’s clear they both think a lot of each other and are there for each other which is really sweet.

After filming another movie, Kate confessed to an interviewer, "We're really lucky to have each other, because we've known each other for such a long time; we were really excited about how far we could go emotionally. And knowing that we have a certain trust level, there are no boundaries; we could keep pushing it and pushing it, and that was a real luxury to have that," to which Leo added "It's great to work with one of your best friends, it really is. I'll always be looking to work with her again."

After Kate joked with him about his filling out, he even returned this by looking at her fondly and saying "She's still as beautiful and radiant as the day I met her. She is the consummate professional; she keeps pushing herself to an emotional truth when she's working. That's why I keep saying she's the best."

By now, in spite of the lack of Kate quotes and the abundance of Leo’s, it should at least be obvious that Leo has a soft spot for her... but the best quote came up during Kate's Academy Award speech, when she tearfully told him, "Leo, I'm so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you and how much I've loved you for 13 years. I love you with all my heart, I really do." There's no way that his feelings are unrequited!

If anyone can look at all of this evidence and honestly say, “Leo and Kate don’t even like each other. I think they’d be terrible together,” that person has no soul.

Top 5 Rocking the Red Carpet

The Oscars are one of the biggest events of the year where actors and musicians come together for one night. With the Oscars comes all of the makeup, hair and most importantly the dresses. Here are the top five best dressed from the Oscars.

Alicia Vikander- Alicia was known as the Belle of the ball. Alicia’s dress was a light yellow strapless dress with a balloon hemline. The dress is embroidered with silver jewels. Her dress was designed by Louis Vuitton. Some critics didn't like the balloon hemline but she still made multiple top ten lists for her dress and her dress is being talked about by everyone.



Cate Blanchett- Cate wore a dress similar to one that she wore a couple years ago. Her dress was a sea-foam green mermaid gown. Blanchett’s gown had hand sewn clusters of Swarovski crystals and white feathers. She paired her gown with a pair of diamond earrings and a bracelet from Tiffany's. Cate’s dress was designed by Armani Prive.

Brie Larson- Wore a beautiful blue ruffled gown that was custom made for Brie Larson by Michele (of Gucci) and was topped off with a pearl-encrusted belt. Her gown showed just enough skin to make it sassy yet classy. And the deep blue color made this dress get to the top of everyone’s list.

Chrissy Teigen- Chrissy rocked her baby bump in a red laced floral Marchesa gown. The gown was slim fitting and showed all of her curves and her baby bump. Chrissy paired the dress with a small red clutch and stud diamond earrings.

Rachel Mcadams- Rachel was wearing a gorgeous teal gown that is so new, it hasn't even debuted yet. Her halter neck, open back August Getty Atelier design will be shown on the runway in a matter of days at Paris Fashion Week as part of the Fall 2016 collection.
