The Internet is a wonderful place: Some genius human has created the ultimate Taylor Swift mashup, putting “We’re Never Ever Getting Back Together” from the 2012 album, Red, and “Bad Blood” from Tay’s latest record, 1989, together for our listening pleasure. And it’s really so, so good.
The Bachelorette: Breaking up is hard to do – but only if you’re Clint. If you’re JJ or Kaitlyn, it’s actually super easy.
Monday’s episode of The Bachelorette continued its well-worn tradition of picking up in the middle of the previous episode’s rose ceremony cocktail party cliffhanger, making every cocktail party seem like a unending daymare. Read more at People…
The Sign of a Bitter Divorce: Celeb Chef Bobby Flay got a big honor Tuesday with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it was not exactly a banner day for the famous chef.
As Bobby raised his fist in victory, someone else gave him the fist … in the form of a flying indictment, calling him a “Cheater.”
The banner — tethered to an airplane high above Hollywood — clearly refers to allegations in his super bitter divorce with estranged wife Stephanie March. The actress has alleged in legal docs that Bobby cheated on her.
We don’t know who commissioned the banner, but it flew around the area for about an hour. More photos at TMZ

Caitlyn Jenner opened up about her split from ex-wife Kris Jenner in her Vanity Fair profile, revealing their marriage fell apart because of mistreatment and not gender issues.
Caitlyn and Kris Jenner married in 1991 and were together 16 years before their home life morphed into a pop-culture phenomenon with the 2007 premiere of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” As Kris Jenner became more financially independent because of the show’s success, Caitlyn Jenner said, things changed.
“The relationship was different. I think in a lot of ways she became less tolerant of me. Then I’d get upset and the whole relationship kind of fizzled,” Caitlyn Jenner told Buzz Bissinger for Vanity Fair, per Us Weekly. “A lot of times she wasn’t very nice. People would see how I got mistreated. She controlled the money … all that kind of stuff.” Read more at Huffington Post

No matter the circumstances, breaking up is hard to do. Things to keep in mind though? Everyone goes through painful breakups at some point (you’re not alone!), and relationships have a funny way of helping you learn about yourself (even if they end terribly). We’ve got a few Teen Vogue-approved tips for helping you get through that initial rough patch.
Embrace the wallow.
You’re allowed (nay, encouraged!) to indulge in some self-pity. This is one of the few times in life when it’s OK to wear sweatpants 24/7, eat horribly, and not want to leave your room, all while analyzing every single detail of the breakup. It’s totally fine. Take some time to commit to the sadness. Revel in it even, because after that you gotta…
Start the move-on period.
Thoughts of “If only I had done/said that one thing, we’d still be together!” and “It’s all my fault!” can consume all of your brainspace after a breakup, but only if you let them. After the mourning period is over, it’s time to get back to being the real you. Even if you don’t feel like it. Even if you need just a little more time. Because here’s the thing: You don’t. The only thing that’s going to truly mend your broken heart is distance from the situation, so you need to do anything and everything to get further and further away from it.
Talk to your friends. (But not about yourself.)
Ask your friends about their lives! Chances are while they were being your shoulder to cry on, you didn’t realize what was happening with them. Your friends were so good to you after the breakup, now it’s your turn to be supportive—not to mention distract yourself a bit. If you can involve yourself in their goings-on, it’s easier to forget about your own troubles for a little while.
Two words: music therapy.
Music can have a huge impact on your psyche, and there will always be those songs that remind you of that person. Fight the urge to listen to the tunes that conjure up thoughts of you-know-who, and instead make a playlist of the songs that you know will lift your mood! Blast it in the car, have a solo dance party in your bedroom, belt out some jams in the shower. Like Gloria Gaynor, you will survive.
Sweat it out.
In the words of Elle Woods, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy!” One surefire way to banish breakup malaise is to get moving—literally. Accompany your mom on her morning power walks, shoot some hoops with your dad, try a new class at the gym, or sign up for a 5K with your friends. When you start working your body in new ways, your heart will follow suit in no time.
Mix things up, OK?
When the dust settles after a breakup, you may feel like a different person. This isn’t a bad thing! Think of it as a new beginning, and honor it by doing something a little unexpected. Any change goes, big or small. Try out for that a cappella group, experiment with a new shade of lipstick—whatever thrills you.
