The Sochi Olympics are over, but our love for baby-faced, puppy-rescuing skier Gus Kenworthy lives on. He recently stopped by Elle for an interview, but because he is the guy who took home the Sochi strays, he also did a video Q&A with several rambunctious (adoptable!) puppies at his feet. My favorite is the pit with…

Melissa McCarthy is one of the women covering Elle's Women in Hollywood issue, and she looks absolutely gorgeous and glamorous.

An alert tipster spotted this homemade device at a grocery store in Tucson, Arizona. It's blocking what was apparently determined to be a scandalous Elle cover featuring the very pregnant body of Jessica Simpson.
