Australian magazine NW (which is, like most tabloid magazines, highly respected for its journalistic integrity**) reported that Jamie Dornan does not want to return as Christian Grey in the next Fifty Shades film. The reason? Dornan's wife, Amelia Warner, is uncomfortable with him participating in the series' famous sexually explicit scenes. The scathing** rumor has since been picked up by Mirror UK, yet another revered publication, leading many middle-aged women to take a personal day filled with innumerable tears and over-used Kleenex. And while we can't confirm or deny the validity of this devastating rumor, it seems unlikely that Dornan would quit the high-grossing franchise at this point in time.

Before Dornan was cast in the film, the role of Christian Grey was reportedly accepted and turned down by multiple actors. The fact that Dornan chose to sign onto the film (and follow through with his decision) most likely signals his committment to the franchise as a whole. To add to that, the Irish model-turned-actor has previously said, "There's some stuff that my family and friends won't have seen that side of me before, but it wasn't enough for me to not do it or anything, no." 

So pick yourself up off the floor, wipe your tears away, and get it together. Life (and the Fifty Shades franchise) will most likely go on.

We love stomping the streets in our chunkiest winter boots, but after what seems like a long, sludge-filled winter, we're looking forward to the day when we can slip our feet into some lighter kicks.

Luckily for us, Keds has launched two new spring collections with Taylor Swift and Kate Spade New York. Both collaborations feature a wide array of bright patterns and happy colors that encompass everything we love about Taylor Swift and Kate Spade, from personality to style. The springtime prints and textures are perfectly fitting for warmer temperatures to come. Because even though March is in like a lion, it's supposed to be out like a lamb, right?

After the Hollywood glamour of the Academy Awards comes the less formal, more fun after party, hosted every year by Vanity Fair. But the lack of formality didn't prevent the stars from rolling up in some serious fashion statements. In fact, we found ourselves admiring these outfits more than the gowns that preceded them—which we didn’t think could be possible. Click through for our favorite picks, and please join us in a moment of FOMO. 

For everyday style inspiration, we need look no further than the NYLON office. This week, we interviewed Katherine Martinez, our Director of E-commerce. A former fashion blogger who lives by the motto "Wear all the things," we chatted up her personal style, the return of the ugly sandal, and the real struggle to get dressed every morning.

As much as Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff tried, there was no celebrity rivalry quite like that of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. The two former Mickey Mouse Club co-stars both rose to fame around the same time (Aguilera's self-titled debut and One More Time were released in '99), seemingly took on more "adult" personalities simultaneously ("Slave 4 U" was released in '01, "Dirrty in '02), and made out with Madonna in the VMA's most memorable performance to date. And although the two pop icons have allegedly buried the hatchet (they both are living their own lives and raising children—it would be a little sad if they didn't), that doesn't stop the media (or late-night talk show hosts) from fishing for drama.

Last night, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Aguilera and the comedian played "Wheel of Musical Impressions." In between impersonating Cher and her Voice co-star Shakira, the "random" generator pulled up Spears' name. "You know Britney Spears, right?" asked Fallon. "A little bit, a little bit," laughed Aguilera. She then went into a dead-on impersonation of Spears singing "This Little Piggy." The best part about it all? There were no nasty jokes made—it was all in good fun.

This morning, BBC Radio 1 premiered RiRi's new song, "Towards the Sun," from the upcoming DreamWorks film Home. If you thought "FourFiveSeconds" signaled an entirely new sound for Rihanna, well, think again: Looks like the singer isn't abandoning her signature dark pop notes, and we couldn't be more excited. The track is a soaring, bass-focused synth anthem—one that you would play after climbing to the top of Mt. Everest, or before going into a massive Game of Thrones-esque battle. Or, you know, while getting ready for work in the morning. As Idolator points out, it sounds remarkably similar to her Coldplay collaboration, "Princess of China." Listen below.

Lizzy Caplan is the latest celebrity to contribute a bow tie design to Jesse Tyler Ferguson's LGBTQ rights organization, Tie The Knot. Sold exclusively at The Tie Bar, Tie The Knot's spring collection of bow ties is inspired by Chicago's famous landmarks and streets. Caplan's bow tie, though, is inspired by a fox's tail, because, why not? It's a pretty literal interpretation of that inspiration, too: The pattern on the tangerine-colored bow tie just looks like a tail. Obviously, it's adorable. 

"I was happy to represent the straight female's perspective on gay marriage bow ties," Caplan jokes, when NYLON asks her how she got involved with the organization. "We have been left out of this conversation for too long, and it's just not right." More seriously, though, she and Ferguson have been friends for years, and Caplan says she jumped at the chance to get involved. "This cause will be on of the few truly great things my generation will be known for, and I'm honored to help in any small way I can." 

Her personal connection to the cause, of course, extends beyond just her friendship with Ferguson. "So many people I love happen to be gay," she says," And I obviously think they should be afforded the right to stare disdainfully across the den at their partners, cooking up murder plots to collect their life insurance, same as straight couples." 

As for whether or not Caplan herself actually wears bow ties? "I don't, really, but wearing more bow ties is one of my New Year's resolutions, so hopefully I will be answering this question differently come 2016," she says. 

Tie The Knot's first bow tie line, released in November 2012, sold out in less than four weeks, so we have a feeling the Lizzy tie won't be available for very long. As for where your dollars go? $20 of every $25 tie purchase and $25 of every $35 cufflink purchase is given to Tie The Knot—who uses the money to fund an international public education campaign to help garner support for marriage equality. Because if you're going to fight for equal rights, might as well look dapper while you do it.

If the wedding ceremony wasn’t proof enough of his love, then Benji Madden’s new ink will certainly do the trick. The 35-year-old Good Charlotte frontman (and aughts tattoo icon) got Cameron's name written in script across his chest. Earlier today, he showed it off to the world via Instagram with the caption "Thinkin bout you <3 <3 <3 #luckyman," reminding us that his new relationship is going really well. 

The 35-year-old Good Charlotte guitarist married our favorite blonde-bombshell, Cameron Diaz, in early January. (And yes, we are all still a little bitter that we weren’t invited.) If this tatt is any indication, this Charlie’s Angel will forever be in, and on, his heart. And ours, for that matter. 

Tonight marks the series finale of one of TV's most honest, hilarious shows: Parks and Recreation. To celebrate the comedy's general oddness, we're switching it up and throwing it back to our September 2010 interview with the actors behind the show's most peculiar couple, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt. Throwback Thursdays are so last week.

Of the many comedies posing as documentaries, Parks and Recreation sounds the least relatable on paper; while we’ve spent time in odd office environments (The Office) or had to deal with insane family members (Modern Family), few of us have logged hours as a mid-level bureaucrat in Pawnee, Indiana. Nevertheless, the show has proven to be a hilarious and endearing gem. That has quite a lot to do with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt, whose apathetic April Ludgate and clueless Andy Dwyer have come into their own in the second season of the NBC show (they have also come together as a couple onscreen). “If [viewers] are smart, they’ll get it. Some people don’t, and that’s why they’re stupid,” jokes Plaza. Adds Pratt, “They’re just stupid people. Idiots!” Although, they’re as funny in person as they are on TV, Plaza insists that there’s far less improvisation that you’d expect from a cast that includes comedy all-stars like Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari. “We really follow the script, and the scripts are really strong, so there’s not really a need to make it any funnier. But they always allow room for us to play.” Does she have anything in mind? “I wrote [an April spin-off] already. I have, like, 20 episodes of April running for office,” Plaza deadpans. “April’s president and she takes over the world.”

AUBREY PLAZA
How would you describe April?
There’s a lot more to her than meets the eye. I think she comes off as really jaded and disinterested, but she really does want to be there or else she wouldn’t be.

How would April describe the show?
“It’s a show about a bunch if weirdos that work in the most boring department of local government.”

Is April too apathetic to fall in love?
No, definitely not. She’s like, obsessed with Andy. I have so much fun with that because I have to pretend like I don’t really care, but I really care so much.

Why should people watch Parks and Recreation?
Because it’s the best show on TV. And the second season ended with a cliffhanger— are [April and Andy] going to get together or not?— and season three answers that question in a very big way.

CHRIS PRATT
How would you describe Andy?
He’s kind of on the verge of funny and real, somewhere in between there. Not everything he does is believable, but if it’s funny, it’s OK.

How would Andy describe the show?
“The most amazing portrait of American music in the world.”

Is there a lot of one-upping each other with jokes on set?
There’s not a lot of that, thank God. If you ever hang out in the back room of a comedy club, it’s the worst place ever because comics are generally not very giving with their laughter. They don’t want to laugh because heaven forbid you be funnier than them. But on our show, Amy Poehler is so giving with laughter—she laughs at everything.

Why should people watch Parks and Recreation?
All of my reasons for wanting people to watch the show are really selfish—I want to do it forever.

BONUS: When we interviewed Plaza this past September, she talked to NYLON TV about the ending of Parks and Rec. "We're doing our last season this year, which is so sad and bittersweet," Plaza said. "And I'm gonna miss Chris Pratt in my life because he's my TV husband and sometimes I forget that he's not my real husband." Watch below.

Margot Robbie skyrocketed to the A-List on the strength of her gutsy performance in Wolf of Wall Street, standing out despite a scenery-chewing performance by Leonardo DiCaprio. For her next trick, the Australian actress is going up against no less than one of the biggest movie star on the planet. In the snappy, highly entertaining Focus, Robbie stars opposite Will Smith as a thief who, after some initial friction, teams up with Smith's suave con man to pull off one of those glitzy international heists that movies like this specialize in. After that, Robbie's hot streak will become scorching when she takes on two iconic roles: as Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgard's King of the Jungle in the recently-wrapped Tarzan, and as the Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn in the eagerly anticipated Suicide Squad. We caught up with her recently to talk shop. 

You went globetrotting in this movie.
I just found the energy in that city we filmed in, Buenos Aires, was infectious. I wanted to stay up all night, it was so much fun, it was really great. And as Will said, it was instrumental to the way we ended up playing the scenes. You couldn’t help but have that seep in to what we were doing.

Have you ever been in a real situation with a thief?
I have been robbed a bunch of times. And now that I know how to pickpocket, I understand why I have been pick-pocketed so many times, because I am the perfect mark. I am unobservant, I walk around and I am looking up at the sky and my bag is open, so I have been robbed a couple of times.

It looked like you were having a blast during filming.
It was incredible. I had the time of my life. I didn’t want it to end. You get so close to everyone you are working with, but this one was particularly hard to let go of. People would hang out, the shoot would be over and you would see people still hanging around to see what everyone is doing afterwards.

They said you came to the set in Croatia and you didn’t have a chance to change and you lost your clothes.
I wasn’t naked, just to clarify. I had been swimming right before going and I had to quickly rush to New York and so my clothes were actually still damp, and I had a pajama top on and ripped shorts and my shoes were wet. And I had no hair and makeup done.

What about all those beautiful costumes?
It’s so much fun. I can get really girly about this. That is an awesome part of the film, where you get to try on designer clothes, wear them, and have professionals do your hair and makeup and make you look stunning. It’s equally as fun on other films where you go to the other end of the spectrum and wear rags and have dirt painted under your nails and your teeth painted yellow. It’s really quite incredible and it’s really part of the process and it’s kind of integral to creating your character. But for this film it was nice to get a little dolled up.

When I last saw you, you were living in London.
Yeah, I am still living in London. I just really love the city, and I spend time in New York, that’s my other favorite city to live in. The humor is easier to relate to, and there’s more of a bridge between Australian personalities and English personalities and Australian to American for example, so I feel like it’s an easy transition for Aussies.

If her latest photos as the face of Dior are any proof, Jennifer Lawrence is doing better than ever despite her absence at this year's Academy Awards. Looking fresh as a daisy with her hair whisked back into an ever-so-effortless bun, the 24-year-old actress brings a lighthearted youthfulness to the label's most recent campaign, titled "Be Dior."

A vision dressed in modest yet elegant shift dresses and toting the dainty new "Be Dior" bag, JLaw has once again proved that though she may be an actress by trade, modeling comes to her as second nature. After all, the Oscar winner did pose for Abercrombie & Fitch early on in her career. Now she's just moved on to bigger, better, and more timeless things. Though let's be honest: the Hunger Games star would look drop dead gorgeous in a trash bag (or posing naked with a boa constrictor).

With a touch of French style enhancing Lawrence's all-natural vibes, this campaign reminds us that no matter how much she talks about her passion for pizza and love of profanities, the actress is one of the most lovely starlettes we've laid our eyes on. Flip through the gallery to see JLaw's latest looks.

Zendaya appeared on the Oscars' red carpet with her hair in long, gorgeous dreadlocks (landing her a spot on our best beauty list). Unfortunately, not everyone was supportive of the hair change: Specifically, as reported by MTV, E! red carpet host Giuliana Rancic said during Fashion Police, “I feel like she smells like patchouli oil and weed.”

First of all, this is an offensive thing to say to anyone. But to make the comment in regards to a woman of color’s hairstyle? It reinforces negative stereotypes and perpetuates racism; it says, your hairstyle makes you inferior. Zendaya had a poignant, powerful response:

 

A photo posted by Zendaya (@zendaya) on Feb 23, 2015 at 8:20pm PST

Rancic, for her part, tweeted an apology, saying, “Dear @Zendaya, I’m sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!” 

It’s possible that Rancic really believes that her statement had nothing to do with race, but ignorance to the racist implications of one’s words doesn’t make them any less offensive. And, as a relatively high-profile television personality, she has a responsibility to be educated about institutionalized racism so as not to uphold it. 

This comment sadly proves that we have a long way to go before black women’s hair can be free from stigma and stereotype. Dreadlocks have a real cultural meaning, and that meaning does not make you a pothead, slacker, or a thug. (Neither does smoking pot, of course, but that's another discussion.) Yet, seemingly offhanded remarks like Giuliana's do nothing but affirms the weird, destructive, and mystifying "fascination" that many have with the hair of a black woman.

Since this month is almost over and the next one is almost beginning, it's time to talk about what Netflix is bringing to the table for March. We're very, very jazzed about Tina Fey's new show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which drops March 6. Ditto for Kyle Chandler's return to TV in the brooding family drama Bloodline (March 20). Season 7, Part 1 of Mad Men drops on March 22, leaving you just enough time to get caught up before AMC starts running the final episodes on April 5. In terms of movies, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (March 9) isn't terrific, but it does star Mila Kunis and Robin Williams in one of his final roles. Life Itself (March 9) is a tender portrait of the late film critic Roger Ebert, Aziz Ansari Live at Madison Square Garden (March 6) is your chance to see the comic's buzzy MSG show, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 (March 11) needs your love after losing out on the Best Animated Feature Oscar a couple of days ago.

There are few things that can turn us into shameless fangirls quite like the promise of an aughts signature-show reunion. So, obviously, when we saw that a sizable portion of the Gossip Girl cast met up at the 23rd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, we squealed like a prep school freshman who just laid eyes on Blair Waldorf for the first time IRL. 

 

So happy to see these beautiful people (inside and out) last night. Chase, Michelle and Jessica #GG #PostOscars ❤️

Given the photos, it may seem like Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald), Kelly Rutherford (Lily van der Woodsen), Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina Sparks), Willa Holland (Agnes Andrews) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa Abrams) just so happened to run into each other. But as any loyal GG insider knows, nothing involving the press and Manhattan's elite is pure coincidence. Sure, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, and a few other pivotal cast members were missing—but they were probably too busy making albums, raising babies, and launching lifestyle websites to join the night's most exclusive party.

Besides, Lonely Boy (a.k.a. Gossip Girl) was probably lurking in the background, waiting to report on whatever misshaps attendees got themselves into. We're still waiting on our report... XOXO, NYLON.

The Korean beauty industry is pretty much always one step ahead of the game. After all, one of our holy grails—the BB cream—comes from Korea. And, luckily for our product-loving souls, Korean cosmetics are increasingly easier to come by in the US: They're now sold at Urban Outfitters and on many websites like Soko Glam and Amazon.

In fact, there are now so many products available that it can be overwhelming. So, we’ve rounded up all the need-to-know Korean brands and their top products that will forever change your skin care. Read on, and prepare for your bathroom cabinet to never be the same. 

We'll be honest: There's enough pretty electro pop and experimental synth music circulating around the Internet to last us four lifetimes. So it takes a lot for one of these Hype Machine-approved acts to not only catch our attention, but also make us really excited about the future of music. Cue G, the brainchild of producer Jimmy Giannopoulos (LOLAWOLF, Reputante, MOTHXR) and former Band of Thieves singer Genevieve. Recorded last year in Jimmy's Brooklyn apartment, their debut EP (premiering below) is essentially an amalgam of every imaginable production technique and genre: rock, electro-trance, hip-hop, jazz, and pop. According to Jimmy, the project was about rediscovering music in a different way, "using turntables, scratching up tape, noise and melody," said Jimmy. "Really digging into what made me fall for artists like Edan & J Dilla, while having Genevieve splash paint over it." It's the type of vibe-y track that will make you contemplate other-wordly ideas—just don't take it too seriously.
