While we understand the need to discipline a child, some tactics are abusive. Allegedly, The Kinder Care Daycare in Eagan, Minnesota put a 4-year-old girl in “time out” for screaming in class. She was made to stand outside of the building where it was merely 3 degrees. The added windchill made the frigid air feel like -9.

Rihanna and The Clara Lionel Foundation Host 2nd Annual Diamond Ball
Move over, Adele.
Just when you thought Rihanna’s reign was getting a little rocky, the Roc Nation pop star surprise-released her eighth studio album this week, and managed to move over a million units.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Rihanna’s ANTI album is officially platinum.
Due to the impact digital has had on music over the past few years, RIAA counts Rihanna’s 1.4 million digital downloads towards her overall album sales. However, Billboard and Nielsen are not counting the TIDAL downloads.
So fans will have to wait until next week to see how ANTI really performed on the charts.

5 Days, 5 Ways: Victorian Fashion Is Back—in a Big Way

Dakota Johnson, ESC: Victoriana
Fashion is all about reinvention, and these five stars (and the designers they're wearing) are doing just that.
If you're unfamiliar with the Victoriana trend, it's all about ruffles, high necklines, shirt buttons and neck ties. It's an easy way to add femininity and elegance to any wardrobe (your everyday habit of wearing jeans and a T-shirt won't fly forever) and it can be as significant or as subtle as you'd like. No wonder the historic period had a lasting impression on fashion, right? Clothing circa the Victorian era is going to look so good on you circa right now.

Empire's Jussie Smollet Identifies as Gay but Hasn't Ruled Out the Possibility of Falling in Love With a Woman

Jussie Smollet, Out
Jussie Smollet is making waves. And not just as a result of his critically lauded role as Jamal Lyon on Fox's Empire.
The actor and self-proclaimed activist graces the cover of Out magazine's March issue and his perspective is arguably just as on-point as his acting chops. Jussie sat down with the magazine to discuss his role on the hit show, his identity as a gay man in Hollywood, and what he calls a "conversation that deserves to be had."
So, what did the actor have to say for himself? A lot. Jussie revealed in an impressively forthright interview why he felt it was time to come out publicly when he did and how he regards his Empire fame as a catalyst for stimulating a dialogue that is often set to the back burner.

Liquid Lipsticks: The Key to Pouting It Out Like Lupita Nyong'o

ESC, Liquid Lipsticks
Lipstick has always been the best way to instantly (and easily) transform any look. No wonder beauty powerhouses are constantly coming up with new ways to reintroduce it. There have been everything from lip creams to lip crayons to lip tints, but none of those hold a candle to what liquid lipstick can do.
From classic shades of red and pink to Lupita Nyong'o's midnight blue lip, this genre of lipstick is really for everyone. It gives you the color of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss (unless it's matte, of course) and the best part? You only need one coat for the product to do what it intended. Say goodbye to reapplying and hello to your new favorite makeup staple!

Adjusting to life after having a baby is not easy. On top of learning how to take care of this tiny human, you also have to learn to juggle the numerous responsibilities you had before becoming a mother for the first, second or third time.
Some employers offer family or maternity leave for their colleagues who recently had children. The standard time off for a new mother is typically 6 weeks. During this time, the new working mom is allowed to spend this allotted break to bond with her new family, make arrangements for childcare, and (most importantly) rest.

Expectations were pretty high when Juice Beauty came out with its new organic Phyto-Pigments™ makeup line. What made them even higher? Finding out Gwyneth Paltrow was their creative director. #Casual
Like with most celeb beauty lines, E! Style Collective put the products to the test. Makeup artist to the stars Julianne Kaye brought the line with her to Sundance for a full examination. Note: Winter was in full-force, so depending on your climate results might be slightly different.
The Packaging: At first sight, the packaging "screams organic," noted Julianne. "The silver/grey logo is super simple without being generic, so that's a plus."
There were various products for Julianne to try: the Phyto-Pigments Illuminating Primer, Precision Eye Pencil, Lip Crayon, Liquid Lip and Lip Cream. All of which she wore on separate occasions.
