Because apparently nail polish didn’t fill the void of fried poultry-themed beauty products, KFC just launched a chicken-scented bath bomb. Now that’s one product you definitely can’t find on the LUSH menu.

Shaped like a drumstick, of course, we can’t tell you if it’s truly finger lickin’ good, but it’s probably the most inventive bath bomb scent we’ve uncovered yet. You can see what it’ll look like in the tweet from the brand below.

But before you go scoop yourself a bowl of mashed potatoes and head for the tub, we have some bad news. The bath bomb is part of a contest that KFC Japan is hosting with Village Vanguard, according to the Independent, you have to be in Japan in order to participate.

You’re entered to win by retweeting KFC Japan’s post by November 15, and the site also reports that there are only 100 drumsticks to go around.

So the winners have a very difficult decision to make—keep the chicken leg bath bomb as memorabilia, or go to bed smelling like your go-to late night dinner—or hungover breakfast, if we’re being honest.

Will it be so good? You’ll have to stay tuned. But now one think is for sure, no one does chicken like KFC.

On Monday evening, Cate Blanchett arrived at the third annual InStyle Awards and accepted the well-deserved Style Icon Award.

Of course, it takes more than just looking the part to be a true style icon—which Blanchett, 48, absolutely did in a plunging red and navy striped Givenchy gown.

The Oscar winner, who addressed sexual assault in her eloquent acceptance speech, spoke to InStyle during the evening’s festivities and shared her take on an oft touched upon subject in the film industry: aging.

While discussing the topic, the actress opened up about her philosophy on “anti-aging”: “I think to eradicate that concept from the way we talk about beauty—particularly for women. It’s kind of an oxymoron when we talk about what life is all about,” she told us. “It’s about doing the best with what you got in the time you have.”

As for her style icon status, the Australian actress maintains that she dresses for one person only: herself. “I don’t really dress to please other people,” she told InStyle. “You sort of wear what you like. You run the gauntlet a bit on the red carpet. People feel that what they wear people has to liked, but that’s not a real concern of mine. I love it.”

Cate, are you accepting applications for the Blanchett School of Life? We’re eager to enroll.

Watch her share her take on personal style and the concept of “anti-aging” in the video at top.

“Tonight, we pay tribute to Whitney and the enduring music from The Bodyguard with a performance by another artist with a mesmerizing voice with a medley from that film.”

Aguilera took the stage in a plunging black silk gown and Stephen Webster jewels with her blonde strands slicked back and a pared-down makeup look. She ditched her signature red lip and instead opted for a pink gloss.

She began with just her voice in the microphone as she took on Houston’s hit, “I Will Always Love You.” Instrumentals eventually joined in, but Aguilera’s voice truly shined in the gorgeous tribute. The medley included Houston’s hits like “I Have Nothing,” “Run to You,” and “I’m Every Woman,” and Aguilera’s incredible pipes did justice to them all through the renditions.

“This is a Whitney celebration,” she told the emotional audience, encouraging them to get on their feet. “We love you Whitney, the greatest, my idol.”

“Thank you Whitney Houston for being the best inspiration ever,” Aguilera said, concluding her tribute to the late singer.

Blake Shelton just nabbed another major honor, and it’s not a country music award. The singer and The Voice coach was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2017.

So, what did he think when he first heard the news? “That y’all must be running out of people,” he told People. “Like, Wow, we’re down to somebody who is somewhat symmetrical.” 

Surely his girlfriend of two years, Gwen Stefani, agrees with the title. “I think he’s hot. Do you?” Stefani said, confirming that she was attracted to Shelton before their relationship even went public back in 2015. She definitely does! In fact, she was the one who convinced him to embrace the crown. “She goes, ‘Listen to me, you’re going to regret this for the rest of your life if you don’t take this gift and just live in the moment,” Shelton said.

However, the best part about the new title? Being able to rub it in his buddy Adam Levine’s face. “I can’t wait to shove this up Adam’s ass,” Shelton added. “As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that’s really the only thing I care about.”

Levine took home the title back in 2013. “I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren’t, so that’s cool,” Levine said of taking home the honor back in 2013.

Congrats, Blake! Now you and Levine are both two of the world’s sexiest men alive. 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With fall seasons winding down and games dwindling, there was limited movement in this week’s NFCA Fall High School Top 25 Coaches Poll.

Top-ranked, two-time defending state champion East Coweta (32-0) remains No. 1 for a ninth straight week, and returns to action in the Georgia state Class 7A final four starting today at the South Commons Complex in Columbus, Ga.

No. 2 Papillion-LaVista (36-0) kept pace again this week by winning the Nebraska Class A championship for the second time in the last three years. The Monarchs completed their unbeaten season with a pair of victories over 11th–ranked Elkhorn — 8-0 in last Thursday’s semis, and 15-2 in Friday’s final — has now been in the state final five consecutive years.

Elkhorn (30-5) had moved up to Class A following its B state championship last season.

The only change in the rankings this week came toward the bottom, as fellow Nebraska schools Beatrice (32-6) and Skutt Catholic (29-4) swapped places at No. 23 and 24. Beatrice, who lost to Elkhorn in last year’s Class B state final, beat Wayne, 1-0, in this year’s semis, but lost both the rematch and the winner-take-all championship game with the Blue Devils, 6-1 and 5-3, respectively, to close out its season. Skutt Catholic, meanwhile, was eliminated from the state Class B tournament with a 4-2 loss to Seward.

In the only other action involving ranked teams, Missouri’s Raymore-Peculiar (23-5) won all three of its games to maintain its spot at No. 25.

After a snowstorm on Wednesday in Colorado, teams are hoping state tournament games scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Aurora Sports Park are not affected. Officials have already said games will be pushed back as needed until they can be played, and said delays of several hours could occur before utilizing the next available day.

State rankings submitted by NFCA member coaches are used to compile the NFCA Fall High School Top 25 Coaches Poll. Teams are chosen based on performance, roster quality and strength of schedule. Five states — Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri — play a fall fastpitch schedule, while Iowa recently completed its summer season.

The world’s second richest man is a little anxious over Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s tax plan.

Speaking at the New York Times DealBook conference Wednesday, Bill Gates spoke about the Democratic presidential candidate’s proposed wealth tax — what she calls an “Ultra-Millionaire Tax” — which would directly tax multi-millionaires’ net worth, as opposed to their income. (Sen. Bernie Sanders has unveiled his own wealth tax.)

“I’ve paid over $10 billion in taxes, I’ve paid more than anyone in taxes,” Gates said. “If I had to pay $20 billion it’s fine. But when you say I should pay $100 billion, O.K., then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over.”

The Microsoft co-founder tried to soften the comments, adding, “I’m just kidding.”

Gates also expressed that he wasn’t sure Warren would be willing to take the needs of people like him into account, or even hear them out. “I’m not sure how open-minded she is, or that she’d even be willing to sit down with somebody who has large amounts of money,” he said.

Warren responded on Twitter Wednesday night. “I’m always happy to meet with people, even if we have different views. @BillGates,” the politician wrote. “If we get the chance, I’d love to explain exactly how much you’d pay under my wealth tax. (I promise it’s not $100 billion.)”

Given that wealth consolidation has been such a hot topic this election season, it’s no surprise that Gates’s comments reverberated online almost immediately, with some expressing anti-billionaire comments and others defending him. At least a few people also attempted to calculate exactly how much wealth Gates would have “left over” if Warren’s tax plan went into effect.

Gates noted that he believes wealthy individuals should pay more taxes than they currently do. “I’d love somebody to find a middle ground approach [between the two parties] because … the government does need more resources than it has today.”

But he added that his perspective might not necessarily reflect broader sentiment in America. “Somebody can say I’m very biased since I’ve been a prime beneficiary of the existing system,” he said.

Gates, along with his wife Melinda Gates and famed investor Warren Buffett, is a founder of The Giving Pledge, a campaign encouraging the ultra-wealthy to give most of their money to philanthropic causes.

More millennials in the U.S. are suffering from chronic health problems, potentially restraining the lifetime economic potential of a generation of young adults.

A spike in conditions like depression, hypertension and high cholesterol among younger people could increase health-care costs and lower incomes in coming years, according to a report Wednesday from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, a federation of 36 independent companies that together provide coverage for 1 in 3 Americans.

Between 2014 and 2017, rates of depression among millennials surged by 31%, while hyperactivity rose 29% and hypertension increased 16%, according to the report. High cholesterol and tobacco-use disorder also increased.

Without change, the effects of those trends could be game-changing for the U.S. and its economy, the report warned. Health-care costs in the U.S. are already high and climbing, on track to make up nearly 20% of gross domestic product in coming years.

It’s likely that a tough economy has played a role in millennial health, since the group entered the workforce in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis and is grappling with burdensome student-debt loads, said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, which prepared the report using Blue Cross Blue Shield data. Zandi called it a self-reinforcing dynamic and “vicious cycle” that needs to be disrupted.

“To address this brewing crisis, it’s going to take action not only from the perspective of the economy but also from the perspective of health care,” he said in an interview.

Biggest Generation

Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996, meaning the oldest turned 38 this year. The generation is known for its technological savvy, generally high levels of education, and demographic diversity. There are roughly 73 million U.S. millennials, and this year, they are expected to become the largest U.S. generation as more baby boomers die, according to the Pew Research Center.

The new report didn’t provide a precise estimate for the effects of worsening millennial health on U.S. economic output. Instead, it predicted the generation’s lower levels of health could eventually cost the oldest millennials more than $4,500 in annual income.

Under the worst-case scenario, millennial health-care costs could climb 33% compared with the prior generation, according to the report. If nothing changes, current trends could also indicate an increase of more than 40% in death rates among millennials as compared with Generation X, the group born between millennials and baby boomers, the report found.

A prior analysis from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association in April focused on the increasing prevalence of the 10 most common conditions among millennials, a list that included hyperactivity and diabetes, finding that they were more frequent among millennials than the previous generation.

Opioids, Wars

Other research has also raised concerns about millennial health, particularly mental health. Drug-related deaths among the group have surged in the past decade, as have alcohol-induced fatalities and suicides, according to an analysis this year by the groups Trust for America’s Health and Well Being Trust.

Health problems have afflicted earlier generations, influenced by factors like the Vietnam War and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the report said. But the breadth of millennial health issues makes finding a specific cause trickier. Along with the shadow cast by the financial crisis, Moody’s Zandi pointed to the opioid crisis and said extended wars in Afghanistan and Iraq could also be important.

The report relied on five years of data from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Index, which is based on health-insurance claims from more than 41 million Blue Cross Blue Shield members who are commercially insured.

George Clooney was notably one of the first of Hollywood’s leading men to condemn disgraced film exec Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct. And, now, the Ocean’s Eleven star continues to call for change, echoing Blake Lively’s assertions that rampant sexual harassment and abuse need to be curbed in every industry, even in the legal field of his wife, Amal.

While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the 56-year-old stressed a need to bring other perpetrators, like Weinstein, to justice by overturning the conspiracy of silence. “I will say that somebody knew and if there was a reporter that sat on a story for years and didn’t write it,” he said. “I want to know who took women up to a hotel room and then left them there for Harvey. There are other people involved in this and the whole culture of this is gonna have to stop.”

Clooney also claimed that particular “culture” unfortunately pervades countless other professions, including wife, Amal’s, work as a well-known barrister.

“She’s faced those exact kinds of situations in law,” he said of the British human rights lawyer. “It’s everywhere and so it needs to be addressed as if it’s a problem for all of us. And we have to take it on full force ’cause the kind of assault that we’re talking about now is – it’s so infuriating that this was allowed to go on as long as it did.”

But the Academy Award winner is hopeful that a break in silence will allow for a brighter future. “We have to, moving forward, we have to make sure that now there has to be something good that’s gonna come out of all of this,” Clooney stated. 

He continued: “And the thing that’s good that could come out of this is that women feel safer in talking about these situations, and in doing so, that it makes it much harder for men who would behave like this to do it, [knowing] that they’ll get outed… they could lose their job or even go to jail if it goes that far. I think it’s important that that’s gotta be the step forward from this. There has to be something good that comes out of it.”

Keep fighting the good fight, George!

More than a year has passed since Ryan Reynolds made his debut as the superhero Deadpool in the eponymous blockbuster movie, but we’re still learning new things about what it took to get the adaptation from script to screen. And one of those new things? Well, it’s kind of gross TBH.

When a fan tweeted an impressive Deadpool Halloween costume to Reynolds on Tuesday, he responded in a way that we think would make Deadpool himself pretty proud.

“My son is ready for Halloween @VancityReynolds,” the parent tweeted alongside a photo of a child in a Deadpool suit.No idea how he is supposed to use the washroom. Any tips Ryan?!!”

Tips? Not really. New costume information? Definitely.

“Everybody knows the Deadpool suit is also a toilet,” Reynolds tweeted. “Get it together.”
