On the evening of November 8, 2016, a lot of people were devastated to find out the results of the presidential election. Donald Trump was thought to be way behind Hillary Clinton but he surprised many American citizens and even other countries. Due to this, some celebrities are planning to boycott the inauguration of Donald Trump's presidency.

The day after the inauguration which is set for Jan. 20., citizens plan to flood the streets of Washington D.C. for a Women's March. About 100,000 people are expected to join the protest. Female stars such as Cher, America Ferrera, Scarlett Johansson, Chelsea Handler, Debra Messing, Julianne Moore, Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, and more are expected to show up and take over the Women's March.

Chelsea Handler wrote a piece on the subject and stated, "One of the saddest things about November 8, aside from the very presence of Donald Trump on the ballot as a major party American presidential candidate, were the women of America who somehow managed to vote for Donald Trump," following with, "We don’t just have a problem with men supporting women in this country; we have a problem with women supporting women."

CNN exit polls recored that more than 52 percent of white women and 25% of latino women voted for Donald Trump.

Cher also had much to say on twitter about the presidential results.

She has posted countless updates expressing her feelings about trump. She's even had some backlash for it. Piers Morgan, born in England and known for being a judge on America's got talent, was one of the more obvious ones. He replied to Cher's posts on twitter telling her to "pipe down" and called her an "absurd specimen".

Other celebrities such as Mark Ruffalo, Alec Baldwin, and a Michael Moore have organized a March of their own, a guys' march, outside of trump tower the same night of the inauguration.

Some say celebrity protesting wont do much while others are hopeful that they will have a larger impact on the American people.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
