Jaden Smith Is All Of Us During Kanye West's VMAs Speech
Great news, world. Kanye West just announced his presidential run for 2020. Now, in even better news, no one was more into it than Jaden Smith.
Listen to the kid, bro! The actor stood stoic with his fist raised during West's epic speech, pretty much summarizing all our feelings in one image. Hey, quotes about "fresh juice" can do that to you.
The camera cut back to Smith a couple times, and his look didn't change. For all we know, his arm is still in the air.

Hey, it's about ideas, bro! And here's one for ya, Kanye: How about a West/Smith ticket in 2020? Make a decision quick, Ye. Jaden can't keep his arm up all day, all day.
Then again, maybe he can.

Amandla Stenberg On Science, Activism And Her Idols
She schooled the world on cultural appropriation, and even called out Kylie Jenner as an example of it. She took Jaden Smith to prom, and didn't bat an eye when he decided to wear a dress. She has been outspoken about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and has been called a voice of a generation.
Now, the cooler than cool 16-year-old actress Amandla Stenberg has broadened her activism efforts to include encouraging more young women and girls to pursue their interests in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields.
The Los Angeles native served as the celebrity co-host of electric utility company ComEd’s second annual Icebox Derby Race Day in Chicago on Saturday. At the event, six teams of teenage girls raced cars that they spent the past four weeks building out of recycled refrigerators.
Sitting in a town car before the event, Amandla looked up from her signature black Converse sneakers and floral pants, which were thrifted from Crossroads Trading Co., with a sincere expression -- and she said matter-of-factly that the science behind the derby is really cool.
Amandla -- whose name means “power” in Zulu -- sat down with The Huffington Post for a wide-ranging interview before joining the race day festivities, touching on everything from how to get more girls involved in science, to the power of activism, to where she’d like to go to college and who she admires the most.
Getting young women excited about STEM is a big part of the Icebox Derby. Why do you think more girls should be involved in STEM and how can we make that happen?
I think it has to do with the way that we raise girls and boys differently, and it’s not like girls are not intrinsically interested in math and science and in STEM fields. But ... we teach them that they are not capable or that they won’t be good at it, and therefore they’re kind of deterred from pursuing interest in those fields.
So it’s really exciting to be here and I think the way that we can work on this is by having more events like this, and I think it’s also really important how girls are raised. I don’t really believe in, you know, gendered childhoods. I don’t really believe in teaching boys and girls that they should have separate interests. So, I think it really has to do with how you raise your kids.
What advice would you give to a young girl who may feel as if she’s “incapable” of succeeding in a STEM field, or who may even see science and math as “uncool?”
I think it’s really cool! I mean, my only advice is just to pursue anything you’re interested in. And it’s easier to say, "Don’t care about what anyone thinks," than it is to actually not care about what anyone thinks. But honestly, anything you’re passionate about, that’s what you’ll be the best at.
Why do you think it's important for young celebrities -- like yourself -- to speak out about this lack of women in STEM and other social issues?
Often we look to celebrities as role models and celebrities have the most visibility, therefore they’re able to dictate the media and share messages, and those are the messages we look at the most.
Hopefully by being here and talking about girls in STEM fields and talking about feminism, I can somehow impact girls who might follow me on Instagram and be interested in STEM but are feeling kind of insecure about it, because they don’t think they can be good at it.
The lack of women in STEM is a big issue for your generation, because in these fields are where we're seeing projected job growth, and the potential for future innovations that could transform our country. But what other issues do you think are facing your generation?
I think it’s a really critical time right now, especially for millennials, because we’re facing sexism and we’re facing racism and police brutality. And I feel like we’re one of the most passionate generations in terms of combating that. It’s really inspiring how social media is used as a tool for social justice and activism and spreading the message about events like this. So I feel like we’re the generation that’s really going to make a change.
It seems like you’re playing a huge role in that change, especially with the cultural appropriation video that you posted online that recently went viral. Were you shocked by the strong response that your video received or were you kind of expecting it?
Yeah, I was not expecting that response at all. I made the video for school with a friend of mine, her name is Quinn Masterson, and I just posted it on Tumblr one day because I thought Tumblr’s a cool community of people who care about social justice and therefore they’d appreciate it -- and it just blew up on Tumblr.
Then it was put on YouTube and turned into this ginormous thing. It really made me realize how we really do want to talk about these issues, and how I actually do have a say in social justice and the visibility of issues that we talk about. It was just an eye-opening experience for me. I didn’t realize I could really contribute to such broad conversations like that.
If I’m receiving hate about something it must mean that I’m saying something that’s important.
Do you think sometimes young celebrities shy away from making statements about or speaking out on certain issues because they fear how the public may react? Is it hard as a young celebrity to speak out because of that?
Yeah, definitely. It’s hard for anyone to be an activist. It’s really difficult because you’re going to face ignorance and you’re going to get hate. Mentally that can be challenging to ignore and overcome, but I feel like, if I’m receiving hate about something it must mean that I’m saying something that’s important. Because, for anyone to care about it, it must be kind of controversial or it must have significance in weight. When I get hate, I’m almost like, "Cool, I’m doing something right."
So it’s something to celebrate rather than shy away from.
Yeah.
I saw that you recently tweeted that you’re balancing being a voice of a generation and applying to college. What are the top schools on your list?
My top choice is NYU. I’m applying to the film school. I also want to study psychology, so I think I would take that as a science course. And I want to make projects that empower, specifically, young black girls.
I also read that you want to study under Spike Lee …
Yeah! Spike Lee is just so incredible. I remember watching “Do the Right Thing” when I was younger and it really impacted me, and I rewatched it recently. It’s a timeless movie. There are just so many messages in it that are applicable to what’s happening right now.
That’s so interesting to watch it now and compare it to everything going on in our country.
Right, so that movie to me is like my favorite movie of all time because of the messages it has about police brutality and race relations. Also, just the culture of the movie and the style of it is just so cool.
So, Spike Lee is someone you admire. Who else do you look up to?
Ava DuVernay is one of my biggest role models of all time, and we actually met a few months ago and had this conversation about going into fields of directing as a black woman. She’s just so dynamic and so wise and I’m so lucky that I could even meet her and have her be a part of my life.
Now I want to know, what do you like to do in your free time?
I’m in a band called Honeywater and we actually just released an EP on iTunes. So, I play the violin. I’ve been playing since second or third grade.
Me too! I started playing at a young age, and studied Suzuki.
Suzuki method?
Yeah.
I did Suzuki method for a little bit, and then I got tired of it and I quit violin for about a year. Then I started up again but just doing covers of songs I liked -- like, Beatles covers and R&B covers, and then I ventured into folk. So, it’s been a very interesting violin journey.
A journey that we'll continue to follow.

'Metropolitan' Star Carolyn Farina Says She Stopped Getting Film Offers Because She Wasn't Blond
In October 1990, People magazine labeled Carolyn Farina a "critics' darling." The 26-year-old actress had found acclaim for "Metropolitan," the Whit Stillman comedy about a clique of elitist, college-age Manhattan debutantes and the outsider who infiltrates their preppy circle. Variety called Farina's performance as Audrey Rouget "sensitive" and "perceptive," and The Baltimore Sun ran a profile of the actress with the headline, "A new Audrey Hepburn?"
But Hollywood, apparently, didn't feel the same way. Farina was still working as a salesclerk at Macy's and living with her mother at the time, an unsurprising tidbit given that "Metropolitan," her first movie, was made for a paltry $225,000. But the film's $3 million in grosses -- an impressive figure for a Sundance indie with no name stars -- did little to buoy her career. Farina had a tiny role in 1992's "Little Noises," starring Crispin Glover and Tatum O'Neal. She acted in plays and appeared in Martin Scorsese's 1993 period piece "The Age of Innocence" -- a "dream come true," the actress told The Huffington Post during a conversation about the 25th anniversary re-release of "Metropolitan." But except for cameos in a couple of Stillman's other films, that's about all we've seen of Farina in the years since. The reason, as she perceives it: She's not blond.
"I got to the point where I was getting a little long in the tooth to be an actor, according to the Hollywood standards that women are supposed to be funny and blond and beautiful," Farina said. She was 29 when "The Age of Innocence" came out and didn't appear in another film until she reprised her "Metropolitan" role in 1998's "The Last Days of Disco," when she was merely 34.
"It was certainly the nature of the business that forced me to choose something else, although in my heart I’m still an actor," she said. "I’d gladly accept any opportunity to return to work again. I think actors are born and there’s not much you can do about it, so you either live a life full of loss, at a certain point, or you’re fulfilled. Unfortunately, many of us live a life of that feeling of loss, and that’s kind of a shame."
Farina, who'd studied acting at the famous Lee Strasberg Institute, has since returned to college and earned a Master's degree in psychology. She works with children and has appeared in only one film since "Disco," Stillman's "Damsels in Distress." (Its grosses didn't even recoup the 2012 comedy's $3 million budget.)
Still, Farina, who was in bright spirits during our brief phone conversation, took pride in reminiscing about "Metropolitan," for which she earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
"It's so exciting to get to experience this again, just because it’s always something that’ll be within me, just like how I have brown hair and brown eyes. It’ll never change," she said. "From my perspective in being Audrey, even though our backgrounds were quite different, we were similar in the fact that the human experience was very similar. I was very excited to be able to live this for the amount of time that I did."

Sofia Vergara Channels The Kid In All Of Us With Sweet Mustache
Sofia Vergara knows that nothing makes those lazy hazy crazy days of summer sweeter than cotton candy.
The "Modern Family" star also knows that cotton candy can be a great fun form of disguise. And a mustachioed Vergara was caught pink-handed playing with the sugary treat on Sunday, evidence of which she later posted on Instagram.
The cotton candy was merely the cherry on top of a very sweet Sunday afternoon tea that included a fruit-topped cheesecake and traditional tea-time miniature treats.
Vergara may be making time to indulge her sweet tooth, but her lazy days of summer will soon come to an end. The "Modern Family" cast had their first table read last week and the seventh season of the Emmy-winning ABC series will premiere on September 23.
If the wedding date reports are true, Vergara will be very busy while filming this new season. Sources told US Weekly late last month that Vergara and fiance Joe Manganiello will tie the knot in Florida on Nov. 22.
The actress can at least look forward to the sweet task of wedding cake tasting. Frosting mustache, anyone?
