Ellen Gives Brilliant Homeless Girl Totally Deserved Scholarship

Luke Malone — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST

A week ago we posted a story about Samantha Garvey, a 17-year-old student from Long Island and finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search. While we love a smart and driven teen girl around these parts, her story is extra interesting because she's homeless and has been living in a shelter with her parents and brother while shooting these amazing academic goals. So it is five hundred shades of awesome that we can give you the update to end all updates: Ellen DeGeneres and her friendly sponsors over at AT&T awarded her a $50,000 scholarship to the college of her choice. Teamed with the fact that Samantha and her family are due to move into their own place any day now and you've got yourself a heart-warmer to start the day. Spend your seven-minute coffee break watching the video at the link — it's not inspiring because it's a sad, struggle-town story, but because Samantha is so well-spoken that she makes you feel like you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Awesome. [Ellen] More »

Celebs Somehow Manage To Make Chanel Bags Look Tacky

Jenny Zhang — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:00:00 EDT

The Veuve Clicquot held its Second Annual Polo Classic in Los Angeles on Sunday, which begs the question: What exactly is a Polo Classic? Is it like the more elitist, West Coast version of the Kentucky Derby? Are you supposed to wear breezy lawn dresses and hats? We're going to assume not, seeing as most of the attendees wore unimpressive clothes and carried Chanel purses that, unfortunately, looked like plastic under the October sun. More »

Zoe Saldana Looks Back On Her Breakdown

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 18:20:00 EDT

"The year after Avatar was just emotionally overwhelming. I was traveling all over the world, waking up in different time zones. Your body gets exhausted, and by the end of the year I just collapsed… I was in Paris training for Colombiana, sitting in my hotel room, and I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't stay awake. I must have slept for an entire month. It took me the rest of the year, even as I was working and shooting Colombiana, to pick myself up. Thank God my family was there." More »
