Taylor inadvertently gave me some wisdom. Source Wenn

I never thought I would be taking sex advice from Taylor Swift, but I learned something really important from her today. Obviously Taylor has dated a lot of guys. Four albums worth to be exact. Homegirl falls in and out of love faster than I eat an entire pack or Oreos, which is like really fast.

Since her very public breakup with her very public boyfriend, Harry Styles, everyone’s been trying to figure out why it ended. Well, one insider is saying Harry ended it because Taylor’s a prude. To sum it up, Harry apparently finds the popstar “sexually uninteresting.”

My favorite part: “What she doesn’t get is that the guys keep dumping her because she’s being a prude.”

I have to sound off here. I’m not Taylor’s biggest fan in the world, but after reading this article I’m pretty ticked.

A person’s sex life is nobody’s business, celebrity or not. Taylor can have sex or not have sex with all of her boyfriends, and it shouldn’t matter. We get upset about slut-shaming all the time, but we should be getting upset about prude-shaming too, which is exactly what’s happening here.

It seems us girls can’t win either way. If we have sex with a number of people, we’re sluts. If we don’t have sex with anyone, we’re prudes. Where does it end?

If you are comfortable with the choices you’re making in your sex life, that’s all that matters. You are your own judge here, not anyone else. If you want to have sex, great (be safe!). If you don’t want to have sex, great. It’s up to you, and you should never let someone–your boyfriend, your friends or even Harry Styles–dictate how to handle your life.

If you’re with a guy and you feel pressured, speak up. You’re allowed to say no to anything you don’t want to do. It doesn’t make you a prude to say no.

Gotta love her! Source drneeb

Ms. Norbury in Mean Girls really has the best advice. And you know what? You all have got to stop calling each other prudes. It just makes it okay for guys to call you prudes.

How do you feel about people calling Taylor Swift a prude? Have you ever been called prude? How did you handle it? Tell me in the comments!

I was behind the Taylor Swift Harry Styles break up. Sorry, Haylor fans! | Source: WENN / My Facebook

I was in a pretty grumpy mood the past few days, but the cloud has been lifted: Taylor Swift and Harry Styles finally broke up.

No reason has been given or revealed for the split, but I have some insider info on the Taylor Swift and Harry Styles breakup: it was over me. And now Harry and I can finally quit the facades we’ve been putting up and be together.

The duo apparently called it quits during a vacation in the British Virgin Isles, and I couldn’t be more overjoyed. It’s only a matter of time now until my green-eyed prince comes for me, and when he does, he’ll even be tan!

The truth is, Harry Styles and I have been in love for a while. Sure, we each had our dalliances with others–me with douchebags disguised as nice guys and him with the biggest pop star on the planet right now–but it was all just biding our time, you know? Because we’re meant.

He’s English. I love English breakfast tea. He sings “Live While We’re Young.” I’m clinging onto the remnants of my own youth the way Taylor Swift does to most of the guys she dates. We both have natural curls. We both have tattoos. He looks good with his shirt off. I am no slouch in that department, either. He loves to party, I love to lurk in the kitchen and wait for parties to be over. He used to work in a bakery, I love to bake (and to eat cake). He introduced Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder, I play matchmaker for my pals so I can live vicariously through them. He travels a lot, I don’t mind airplane food. He’s sensitive. I sometimes have sensitive teeth if I drink something too cold. Can’t you see? This is destiny.

Sorry, Taylor Swift, but this is how it’s meant to be. I give you full license to use my name in your upcoming hits “One (Wrong) Thing,” “Not My Styles,” and “Wrong Direction.” Just please don’t tell anyone where I live.

Do you think Haylor were forever? What do you think was behind the Taylor Swift and Harry Styles break up? Did you really think I was serious and not delusional and daydreaming when I said I was behind the Taylor Swift Harry Styles break up? Tell us in the comments!

Niall Horan and Selena Gomez are rumored to want to have some One Direction double dates with Harry Styles and Taylor Swift–but it could get messy! | Source: WENN

Double dates can be a really fun away to let loose with pals and spend time with your boo at the same time. And with busy schedules like the ones Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and the guys in One Direction are dealing with, it’s not that surprising that Taylor would be stoked to double date with Harry Styles and her BFF Sel. The “Love You Like a Love Song” starlet is reportedly eyeing Niall Horan now that’s she’s split from Justin Bieber. Rumor has it that she and Taylor are trying to set it up!

But they should all be careful of the drama that can come with double dates, especially when there are zillions of cameras around–and when one half of you are an established couple and the other are just getting to know one another for the first time. Here’s our advice to Selena, Niall, Harry, and Taylor–and to you–on what may happen when a double date gets awkward or weird and how to deal.

1. You may spend more time chatting up your bestie than your boyfriend, and he could get jealous.
Let’s be real. As awesome as your guy is, you probably have at least a bit of an easier time talking with your friends, right? You have more inside jokes, less of a filter, and they totally get you. As a result, it’s easy for your dude to feel left behind, especially if he’s never met or isn’t close with your BFF’s BF. A good bet is to try to stay on topics that you all have an opinion on (Anchorman 2) rather than inside stories (like how Carly’s hair looked so weird at her Sweet 16).

2. Your best friend and your boyfriend might not get along.
This is pretty common in part because of scenario 1–everyone loves you so much that they don’t want to share you! A good bet? Talk both of them up to other. Let your boyfriend know how awesome your friend is at Guitar Hero, and let your BFF know how great your boyfriend was at tutoring you in chem. Considering they both love you, that’s something they have in common, and they’ll be stoked that the other is so good to you.

3. You may feel pressured to move faster if the other couple is too hands-on with each other.
If you’re all at the movies and they’re making out and rounding second–awkward! PDA in general is weird, but it’s especially uncomfortable if, like Selena Gomez and Niall Horan, you’re just getting to know each other in the presence of Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, who openly make out in restaurants. A safe bet? You can try letting your pal know before you leave to go out that you don’t want to be put in that kind of situation. If it’s already too late? Try making a joke about it (“Hey, looks like they’ve met before!”) and change the subject. Hopefully they get the hint, and if not, feel free to step out for air!

4. There may be issues with who foots the bill.
When you’re in One Direction or as loaded as Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are, it doesn’t really matter who pays. But most of us aren’t. If you’re going on a double date and don’t want to be stuck splitting the cost for your friend who ordered a steak when all you had was a milkshake, ask the waiter or waitress for separate checks as soon as you sit down. Your guy may offer to foot yours too, which is nice–but don’t always bank on it. Bring enough to cash to cover your share just in case!

5. What if you’re having a miserable time and don’t like your date?
For the sake of your friendship, try to stick it out at least until the movie or meal is done. And don’t badmouth the guy afterward, because it will get back to him and cause more drama later!

Have your besties ever set you up on a double date? Have you ever had double dating drama? Do you think Selena Gomez and Niall Horan should get together? Tell us in the comments!

A good night’s rest will improve your grades better than an all-nighter of studying–here’s proof!

Of course, the only ones who know what’s totally up is Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and the other four-fifths of One Direction, but it brings up an important relationship topic. When you start dating a guy, you start dating his world a little bit too. You can usually put off meeting the family until you’re a little more comfortable, but meeting his friends is bound to happen pretty darn quick. Just like we can get a little territorial about our friends when they introduce a new person into the mix, his friends can feel the same way.

The fact is that both you and his friends love hanging out with your boyfriend, so it’s important to make sure you are respected as the new girlfriend, but also that his friends aren’t cast aside. We’ve come up with some dos and dont’s to help you stay on the good side of your boyfriend’s friends – and hey, hopefully you’ll get to make some new friends in the process!

Do Respect Guy Time

Allegedly Harry chose to fly to London with Taylor, rather than in the company of his band mates. Now, Harry did choose to hang with Taylor, so we're not faulting her. We're just saying his friends may not appreciate if you interrupt what they see as guy time. Don't expect him to hang out with you every waking moment, and if your guy has plans with his friends, don't be constantly checking in. His friends will appreciate that you trust your BF and you respect their time together.

Do Be Social

It can be a little awkward to hang out with his friends if you don't know them well, but do your best to not just sit there. It can give off the impression that you're bored or disinterested and that isn't a good vibe to send to his friends or to get you future invites with the whole crew. Just be your usual awesome, funny self and you'll get more comfortable in no time!

Don't Try To Get All Their Inside Jokes

While you should definitely be social, don't try to overtake the situation. The inside jokes and stories he shares with his friends have a history. If you start acting like you get them or trying to one-up all their stories, that could annoy them or make them uncomfortable, which you don't want to do. Plus, you shouldn't feel like you have to change yourself to be just like one of them anyway. It's about getting to know the real you and creating your own inside jokes with them.

Do Invite Them Along

Don't just wait around for them to invite you places — make the suggestion yourself! One-on-one dates are awesome, but there's a lot of things you do as a duo that his friends can join in on. Do you really need to watch a movie just you two? Let his friends come along and ease their worries that you're trying to keep him away from them. Plus, your friends are pretty great too, so invite them along and let everyone mingle and spark some new friendships (or maybe even romances!).

Source: Shutterstock.com

Don't Make Them Uncomfortable

Now, if you DO invite them along, don't suddenly resent them for being there or act like they're invisible. Engaging in over-the-top PDA or not acknowledging them is basically just as bad as excluding them from the get go. If a night out with you guys turns into them feeling like an unnecessary third wheel, they'll probably not want to hang out with you two again, which could lead to a divide or resentment.

Source: Shutterstock.com

Don't Judge Their Interests

Close friends do weird things when they are together. You probably do it too. Judging their activities though is a straight ticket to trouble. Maybe you don't get why they have to do certain sports rituals or why they like certain TV shows, but the worst thing you can do is to act like it's stupid. Make an effort to understand it, but if it's not your thing, that's totally fine. Just let it be their thing.

Source: Shutterstock.com

Do Try To Make Them Your Friends

Just because your boyfriend is the link between you doesn't mean that should be the only topic of conversation. Only talking about your boyfriend can get old pretty quick, but talking about the history class you take with his friend is a way for you to bond over things besides your boyfriend. Being able to consider them your friends rather than just your boyfriend's friends will make for a closer relationship.

Source: Shutterstock.com

Do Bring Something To Share

In my experience, food is a great icebreaker. What sort of hang out doesn't get better with a snack? Plus it shows that you thought about the well being of the people you're about to see. You don't have to make a five course meal, but contributing some snacks when you see the gang is a great way to be remembered as an awesome addition to the group.

Source: Shutterstock.com

Don't Make Him Choose

If you give your BF a "me or them" ultimatum, it's only a matter of time before his friends find out and that won't go over well. If you feel like you're not getting quality time with the BF, it's totally valid to talk about it - just be very careful to not phrase it in a way that undermines his friendships. That said, if you feel like his friends don't respect you, he should be willing to stand up for you. His friends shouldn't be the only important relationship he values.

Is Taylor Swift dating Harry Styles from One Direction? Sounds like it! | Source: WENN

As if money, fame, success, and a great wardrobe weren’t reasons enough for us to be jealous of Taylor Swift, now she has One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles. Yes, girls. “Haylor” May be a thing. And yes. We are devastated.

Right now it’s a lot of rumors that no one is officially confirming, but they’re pretty convincing. When she performed on X Factor last night, a source actually said that Harry was with her at rehearsals. “Harry is there with her now,” the spy spilled. “She is doing rehearsals this afternoon. And he is in her group. He watched her onstage going through her performance. He was sitting with her mom and the rest of her entourage.”

It didn’t end there, either. Ready to pour salt in your wound? Brace yourself, because we’re ripping off the Band-Aid: “After she finished, he went up to the stage. They were joking and laughing. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her off.” We’re simultaneously cringing and in awe of how cute it is. It’s making us a little sick.

To be honest, from the sound of her vocals during her performance, he may have distracted her a little too much. You can watch her sing “State of Grace” here:

There’s some more evidence that something’s up, too. Taylor’s been rocking an airplane necklace (you can peep it in that pic above, though it’s a little small) that Harry usually wears all the time–and he hasn’t had his on in a while. (You can see more photographic evidence here.)

Taylor’s been rumored to have had a crush on Harry from before she dated Conor Kennedy. In fact, they were actually said to have dated briefly back in the spring–but Harry supposedly broke her heart when she saw pics of him smooching another girl.

Say it ain’t so! Until their camps issue a statement or there are photos, we’re going to stay in denial. Who knows? We heard she’s thinking of buying a house in London, and we all know how that real estate thing worked out for her last time.

Do you think Taylor Swift dating Harry Styles is a good idea? Who would you set Taylor Swift up with? Do you think Taylor Swift dating Harry Styles is just a rumor or that there’s more to it? Tell us in the comments!

On the bright side, at least Taylor Swift dating Harry Styles means she’s probably having safe sex.

Johnny Depp hanging out with One Direction would give us a serious Oedipus complex if we were Lily-Rose. But we’re not. Dammit. | Source: Twitter

Let us explain. Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose, is a huge 1D fan (like the rest of us). When Johnny Depp found out that One Direction were going to be in Los Angeles where he lives, he invited them over. Let that sink in: Johnny Depp invited One Direction to his house. When they were there, they jammed in his recording studio together and just chilled out–and rumor has it that Johnny actually invited them to come back to drink whiskey with him once they can all imbibe legally in the U.S.

When we heard all this, we were immediately jealous of Lily Rose, because when your dad invites One Direction over for a playdate, well, you really love your freakin’ dad. And chances are when your dad is Johnny Depp, it’s a lot less awkward and embarrassing to have him hang out with the biggest boy band on the planet. So as soon as we heard the news, we immediately wanted Johnny Depp to retroactively adopt us (or to get our hands on a Flux Capacitor so we could go back in time and somehow be his real babies with Vanessa Paradis).

But then we felt a little weird. Because we really want to make out with One Direction, but we also wouldn’t mind making out with Johnny Depp. Like, at all. Ever. In fact, we’d love to. And if Johnny Depp was our dad, that would be really weird. And possibly illegal. And also gross. This is where the Oedipus thing comes in–it’s a theory that we all want to secretly date (or worse) our opposite sex parent. Guys, like the ancient Oedipus himself, want their moms, and we want our dads (like the mythical Elektra, not the Daredevil Elektra).

Johnny Depp and One Direction both have fame, good looks, and charm in common, but they appeal to us for different reasons. Johnny Depp is like the older guy who doesn’t look it (at least not that much): He’s sophisticated, worldly, and smart, and the fact that he’s so thoughtful to his little ones makes us think he’d be a rad boyfriend.

On the other hand, One Direction are young, fun, and adorable and OH MY GOD THAT HAIR (or in Liam’s case, THOSE BICEPS).

So here’s our issue: Is it really an Oedpius complex when your dad is Johnny Depp? Because for Niall Horan’s sake, just look at him. Take in that bone … structure. Ahem. In any case, if you’ve never seen the Back to the Future movies, Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, goes back in time, and his mom winds up falling in love with him. This is sort of like that. Except with much better looking people.

In any case, this made us happy that we’re not blood related to Johnny Depp. But it also gave us an idea: you guys are super smart. So we’re imploring you build a time machine to let us go back a few years so he can adopt us. Because we figure, it will end one of two ways (ideally, anyway): One, he’d invite One Direction over and Harry Styles would fall in love with us. Or two, Johnny Depp would pull a Woody Allen and marry us when we were legal. When it comes to 1D and Johnny Depp (1Depp?), we’re down for whatever. Suck it, Oedipus. We got this.

Who do you think is hotter: Johnny Depp or One Direction? If you were Lily-Rose, would you feel weird having One Direction hang out with your dad (even if he’s Johnny Depp)? Would you want Johnny Depp to be your dad if it meant you could hang out with One Direction? Tell us in the comments!

One Direction are releasing a 3D movie–so you’ll be a step closer to reaching out and touching them. Ow! | Source: WENN

Get ready for 1D in 3D! One Direction are releasing a 3D movie, and we’re already shaking, crying, and refreshing Fandango to order tickets.

The band announced the news live on the Today show this morning (November 13), where they were on hand to perform and celebrate the release of Take Me Home. “We’re going to do our first ever movie,” Niall Horan said, looking joyous and dazed at the biggest-ever Today crowd. “It’s gonna be in 3D and it’s coming to a theater near you on the 30th of August, 2013!”

The band are following in the steps of pop superstars like their pal Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and Katy Perry. Except we think One Direction’s 3D movie may wind up being bigger than the rest–there are more band members to drool over, and it’s already going to be a hit overseas since they’re British (except the lone, adorbs Irishman Niall!).

Avid and longtime Directioners may remember reports back in May that the band were releasing a concert film, but their team was quick to quash those rumors. We’re guessing that it’s because the details and kinks weren’t worked out yet. And if rumors are true, it won’t be the only time we’ll be seeing a certain One Direction member on a silver screen. Harry Styles was rumored to be in talks to play none other than a young legendary Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in a biopic about the band!

It’s safe to say that we’d be content to hibernate from now until August. But since we can’t (stupid responsibilities and the whole “not being a Kodiak bear” thing), here are their performances from this morning to tide us all over!

Who’s your favorite member of One Direction? Are you excited for One Direction’s 3D movie? Do you plan on seeing One Direction’s 3D movie when it comes out? Tell us in the comments!
