The battle royale over how much weight you are or are not allowed to gain during pregnancy rages on: In one corner of the Internet, a "stick-thin" mom says having a baby is just an excuse to get fat. In another, a woman argues that no woman has ever said the best thing about pregnancy is getting fat. They are both…
A woman who just wanted to get some damn exercise says she was accused of "intimidating" fellow members at her local Planet Fitness. Her crime? Daring to wear a crop top that bared a too-toned stomach while working out. An outrage! Nay, rank villainy!

On the Emmy Awards red carpet on Sunday night, Lena Dunham wore a teal floral-print Prada gown and Claire Danes showed up in Armani. One's sartorial choice was panned, the other's lauded.
