Debbie Reynolds Wasn’t Just a Hollywood Entertainer, She Was Also Its Self-Appointed Costume Historian

Debbie Reynolds was just 19 when she landed a leading role in the iconic film Singin’ in the Rain alongside Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor. It was a role that jump-started the ingénue’s career in Hollywood — a career lasting several decades — which included an Oscar-nominated performance for her role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Reynolds, however, was much more than an entertainer in Hollywood. She was also, in a way, Hollywood’s enthusiastic and self-appointed art historian, helping preserve costumes from many of the most iconic films in the industry after studios had long forsaken them.


Selena Gomez’s Heartfelt Speech at the American Music Awards Reminded Her Fans Why They Love Her

Sunday was a good night for Selena Gomez. The pop singer made her first public appearance at the 2016 American Music Awards, after announcing earlier this year that she was taking some personal time to focus on her health. Gomez, with her millions of fans, presumably had at least some inkling that she might win something. After all, fans choose the winners at the AMAs. So it’s little surprise that Gomez won the award for Favorite Female Artist in the pop/rock category. But it was Gomez’s moving and sincere acceptance speech at the awards ceremony that reminded us exactly why she has all those fans to begin with. The girl has heart.

Heidi Klum Cloned Herself for Halloween

It’s safe to say that Heidi Klum sets the bar pretty high for herself every Halloween. She’s known, after all, for her fabulously creative but meticulous Halloween costumes (who could ever forget how she brought Jessica Rabbit to life last year?). But after years of sitting for hours in the special-effects makeup chair, it seems Klum has finally tired of the ordeal. Or at least that’s what it looks like, given what happened this year. This Halloween, Heidi Klum opted to dress simply as herself and instead have five other women dress up as, well, Heidi Klum. It’s Heidi Klum x Six for 2016, y’all.
