35 Most Awkward School Photos EVER: Clarinets, Keyboards and <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 06:00 AM PDT

If there's one good thing about living in the digital age - where every single moment of our lives can be documented on Facebook and Instagram for the world to see - it's that we have the power to delete terrible photos instantly!

In Ye Olden Days of Photography, such was not the case - and there are more than a million awkward and ill-timed photos to pay homage to the decades where pics were taken with film and no one was quite sure what the image would look like until it was developed and way, way too late.

Hence, terrible school photos forever capturing childhood and adolescence were born. The only way to get rid of them is to burn them, and we're pretty sure that's what a lot of these people wanted to do.

Actually, we're pretty sure a lot of people were proud of these photos at the time they were taken, and we can't quite decide if that's a good thing (yay self-esteem!) or a bad thing (boooo delusional people!). 

So you decide. Take a look at the 35 most awkward school photos EVER in the gallery above, and know two things:

  1. Your photos probably AREN'T as bad as this.
  2. EVERYBODY had an awkward phase.

Just in case awkward school photos weren't enough humiliation, some parents actually went all the way and included everyone in these awkward family photos:

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed: Living Together!! - The <b>Hollywood</b> <b>...</b>

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are certainly not wasting any time. The sexy vampire couple is already living together, according to multiple reports.

Ian Somerhalder & Nikki Reed: An 'Electric' Connection

Not only that, they reportedly took this step just three weeks after they started dating, with the Twilight actress moving in with Ian in Atlanta, Ga.

That's where he lives when he's filming his hit CW series, The Vampire Diaries Season 6. With his ex-girlfriend Nina Dobrev. Not awkward at all.

No, really, sources say it actually isn't awkward.

"[Nikki] goes to set every day," the source says, adding that the lovebirds plan to also share a Los Angeles place when he's not filming TVD, too.

While living under the same roof is a big step and took place very quickly, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed have been serious from the very beginning.

Unlike his very private relationship with Dobrev, the 35-year-old actor has been uncharacteristically public with Reed, on social media and in real life.

They even adopted a horse together. A horse!

Reed, 26, filed for divorce from husband Paul McDonald after two years of marriage in May. The couple used to double date with Ian and Nina.

Rather than an impediment, though, this is seen as a positive. "There was always an attraction," a mutual pal says of the former friends, "so it was easy to slip into dating."

Ian Somerhalder is featured here as part of a spread for August Man. That's a magazine.

Selena Gomez Snaps #PassengerSelfie, Shows Off New Weave <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT

For months now, Selena Gomez has been weaving in and out of the life of Justin Bieber.

And in perfect segue news, the singer now also has a weave in her hair!

Gomez showed off this extension herself via an airplane selfie over the weekend, posting the photo below along with the following caption:

"Weave is back. :) hehe #901 #seatbelt #passengerselfie #hashtag."

Looking good, Selena!

It's nice to see the artist making news for something that doesn't involve her romance with Bieber, which, yes, is back on AGAIN.

Neither side has spoken on the relationship, but Justin recently published (and then deleted) a picture of him kissing Gomez on the cheek, while an insider says Bieber is happier than ever with Selena.

That's great and all - but will it last? Or will Bieber soon grow bored and restless and enamored with some supermodel?

Let's just hope Gomez doesn't have her love blinders on and that her fake hair doesn't also mean she has fake, unrealistic expectations for what a future with Justin Bieber will look like.

Selena Gomez rocks a bikini in this Instagram photo. She says in the caption that she is "taking" her "power" back.

Taylor Swift: I&#39;m a True Feminist! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 08:33 AM PDT

Taylor Swift, feminist icon? Before you raise your eyebrows, the singer opens up in a new interview about why she believes this has always been her M.O.

Even if she doesn't overtly say so or ardently push feminism, she credits Girls' Lena Dunham for opening her eyes in this regard. Allow her to explain:

Cute Taylor Swift

"As a teenager, I didn't understand that saying you're a feminist is just saying that you hope women and men will have equal rights and equal opportunities," Swift says.

"What it seemed to me, the way it was phrased in culture, society, was that you hate men. And now, I think a lot of girls have had a feminist awakening."

Now, she says, having clearly not met Farrah Abraham, "they understand what the word means." Taylor says she is not anti-men and neither is feminist ideology.

"For so long it's been made to seem like something where you'd picket against the opposite sex, whereas it's not about that at all," she tells The Guardian.

What (and who) changed her perspective and understanding?

"Becoming friends with Lena [Dunham], without her preaching to me, but just seeing why she believes what she believes, why she says what she says, why she stands for what she stands for."

That, more than anything, says the 24-year-old songbird, "has made me realize that I've been taking a feminist stance without actually saying so."

While you aren't likely to envision Taylor Swift when you hear the word "feminist," her songs have moved away from being all about boys in recent years.

Taylor has also been hanging out with friends Karlie Kloss, Lena Dunham and Lorde, and has been a single lady for as long as we can ever recall.

Even when Taylor Swift was at her peak Taylor Swift-ness, her songs showed that she wasn't afraid to speak out against men and wouldn't let one define her.

Good for her for being able to "Shake It Off" when it comes to guys mistreating her, and preconceived ideas of what it means to be a feminist, we say.
