James Franco and Lana Del Rey's friendship is a likely a weird performance art piece none of us will ever truly understand. 

But that doesn't keep us from finding their whole implicating the celebrity artifice shtick extremely fascinating. So when Penguin Random House announced last week that Franco had co-written a book about the singer entitled "Flip-Side: Real and Imaginary Conversations With Lana Del Rey," we clicked the pre-order button faster than you can say, "Remember when straight James Franco interviewed gay James Franco?"

According to The Independent (and a common sense interpretation of its title), the book will include both real and fictional conversations with the Del Rey. It is currently unknown to what extent the two artists are trolling literally everyone.

To celebrate the James Franco-Lana Del Rey-ness of it all, we decided to do do some fact/fiction combining of our own with an old-fashioned "Did he say it?" quiz. Behold: Real or Imaginary James Franco Quotes About Lana Del Rey. See if you can figure out what is true (or if any of us can, ever.)

Social media has made it easier to become a model, but more difficult once you actually make it to model status. 

At least Tyra Banks thinks so. To illustrate how much has changed since her earlier modeling days, the supermodel posted a Throwback Thursday photo on Instagram last month of herself backstage at an Yves Saint Laurent show in "sneakers, plaid flannel and bad jeans." 

"Mr. Yves Saint Laurent could care less how I looked when I arrived to his show," she included in the caption, pointing out that now, thanks to social media, models constantly have to be "on." 

It's true that apps like Instagram and Snapchat drive models and celebrities to be constantly connected, open to having their photos shared all over. But as Banks told E!, that's not the only way social media has an impact. Those photos can also determine whether or not a model gets a job.   

"These gals gotta walk in and look like they’re about to do the fashion show. They have to post pictures of themselves constantly on social media. They have to make sure they have a lot of likes because if they don’t have a lot of likes they’re not going to get booked for the job even though they’re the best model," she said. 

On her throwback Instaanks also touched on the increasingly difficult beauty standards that models are expected to uphold. "When I was a young model, yeah, we had to think about our weight, but not like today. I think I was a size 6, not a size 0," she wrote. 

The Cara Delevingnes of the world seem to be fine sharing their every move on social media, but everyone deserves a break once in a while. Then again, Tyra has never shied away from sharing her realest self with the world, on social media or otherwise.

In the simplest terms, Woody Allen is a man who had an affair with a 21-year-old woman, who any rational person would consider to be his stepdaughter. The affair broke up his relationship with her adoptive mother, caused a media frenz, and then, he married her. Twenty-three years later, Allen and Soon-Yi Previn are still together and they have two daughters of their own.  

As a man shrouded in controversy and  accused of molesting his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was seven years old (which he denies), Allen rarely gives interviews. But with his new movie "The Irrational Man"  currently in theaters -- the 79-year-old writer and director decided it was time to open up to NPR, and throughly creep us out in the process. 

Allen spoke of his relationship with Previn, which began in 1992, while he was still dating her mother Mia Farrow, with whom he has one biological child and jointly adopted two other children (Farrow adopted several other children including Previn on her own).  

“I started the relationship with [Previn] and I thought it would just be a fling,” Allen told NPR's Sam Fragoso, adding that their relationship took on a life of its own. "And the age difference didn’t seem to matter. It seemed to work in our favor actually.“

Allen went on to say that their 35-year age difference really works for them because he's "paternal."  

"I was paternal. She responded to someone paternal. I liked her youth and energy. She deferred to me, and I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision making just as a gift and let her take charge of so many things," he said. 

You all read that right? Paternal, as in fatherly. As in gross in this context. 

And that's not what Previn said back in 1992 when everyone was first freaking out about her and Allen's relationship. In fact, she told Time, “To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable.”

Fragoso didn't hold back and asked Allen if he thought the molestation allegations have affected how people approach his movies (he doesn't) and if he thinks he's a "good person." 

"I would consider myself ... decent as I got older." Allen said. "When I was younger I was less sensitive, in my 20s. But as I got older and began to see how difficult life was for everybody, I had more compassion for other people. I tried to act nicer, more decent, more honorable. I couldn't always do it. When I was in my 20s, even in my early 30s, I didn't care about other people that much. I was selfish and I was ambitious and insensitive to the women that I dated. Not cruel or nasty, but not sufficiently sensitive."

"She seems to have an illness." "Maybe she's drunk." "Maybe she took some pills with drugs or stuff like that."

Those are not the feelings typically expressed by adults when they see a fashion campaign. But get a group of kids together, and the not-so-pleasant truth comes out. 

Yolanda Domínguez , a Madrid-based artist, showed a group of 8-year-olds a series of fashion ads for both men's and women's brands. The kids noted that the men, standing tall and confidently, looked "like heroes," "bosses" and as though they were "studying to go to university."

The women, on the other hand, were shown slouched over and even sprawled into the street, and conjured up some very different responses. Some of the kids even said they would stop to help that person if they met her on the street. 

Despite its adorable stars, the striking video sheds light on the broader issue of sexualizing and degrading women in mainstream media. Take, for example, what one of the kids said about an ad featuring Cara Delevingne sitting in a garbage can: "The lady is laughing ... I don't know why."

At second glance, we're not sure why, either.

Caitlyn Jenner is slowly but surely making her way to style icon status.

The 65-year-old has been widely praised for her sartorial choices, namely her form-fitting selection of dresses. But when she stepped out for dinner in Los Angeles on Wednesday night in a super-chic, strapless, perfectly tailored jumpsuit, she took it to a whole new level.

Jenner finished off the look with a cropped black jacket and strappy sandals, which she most likely grabbed out of that enviable shoe closet. 

Jenner has previously asked the fashion Ppolice to be kind to her, admitting she's "new at this." At this rate, we'd say she has nothing to worry about.

In today's Pinterest-filled world, it's hard to come up with an original birthday party theme, but 2-year-old Grayson Dobra from Prairieville, Louisiana has defied the odds.

The toddler celebrated his second birthday with a Morris Bart-themed party -- a nod to the personal injury lawyer whose ubiquitous television commercials have made him somewhat of a fixture in Louisiana. "I'm attorney Morris Bart" is a familiar sound in households across the state. 

The local celebrity has clearly had an effect on little Grayson. “Before he could walk or talk, every time the Morris Bart commercial would come on, he was just fixated,” the toddler's mom L'erin Dobra told The Acadiana Advocate. “You couldn’t talk to him. You couldn’t do anything with him. He would just sit and stare at the TV. You could call his name, give him a toy. He didn’t care. He just wanted to watch the Bart commercial."

Dobra added some of Grayson's first words and phrases were "Morris," "Bart" and the lawyer's signature catchphrase -- "One call, that's all." 

When it came time to plan the toddler's second birthday party, choosing the theme was a no-brainer. The mom requested some photos of Morris Bart from his marketing assistant and made a cardboard cutout and t-shirt with his face on it, the attorney told The Huffington Post.

According to The Acadiana Advocate, when Dobra called to order a Bart-themed cake from the local Gambino's Bakery, the employee on the phone thought she meant Bart Simpson. When she received the photo of the Bart who was to appear on the cake and discovered the party theme, the employee said, "OK, that's a first."

News of Grayson's unusual party theme trickled across local news outlets and law-related publications and even reached a global audience online.

When Morris Bart himself read about the birthday party, he was delighted. "It brought a big smile to my face," he told HuffPost, adding, "It's nice to be embraced in such a flattering way."

Bart has invited Grayson and the whole Dobra family to visit his law offices and meet him in person. "I would love the opportunity to meet him," he said.

As for why he think the story has gone so viral, Bart looked back to his childhood and remembered his own fascination with certain local commercials. "Think of how many millions of people were fascinated by some local jingle or local commercial on television when they were growing up," he said. "I think that's why this story has really resonated with so many."

At the end of the interview, Bart had one final takeaway to share: "Watch out sports heroes -- here come the lawyers!"

Sometimes, being constantly glued to your phone can pay off.

Marketing on Instagram offers social media enthusiasts the opportunity to land a side job where they get paid to post pretty pictures and acquire free stuff.

Instagram "influencers," as the industry calls them, team up with businesses to promote products or brand campaigns on the photo-sharing platform. These promotions take the form of photos, hashtags and captions, and compensation depends on the brand, scope of the project and influencer's bargaining power. While some brands pay between $5 to $10 per thousand followers, others offer $100 per 100 followers and still others pay only in free swag. 

The Instagram brand promotion business is a large one. Companies across all industries combined spend between $1 billion and $1.5 billion per year on sponsoring content on the platform, Thomas Rankin, CEO of Dash Hudson, a company that sources Instagram influencers for brands, told The Huffington Post.

Want that life? Here are five ways you could profit from your Instagram posts, too.

A promotional post by social media influencer and author Peg Fitzpatrick. 

1. Actively reach out to brands you like and want to work with.

While many businesses directly reach out to influencers for help promoting their content, bloggers can also apply to brands or companies that connect Instagram influencers with brands.

Be warned, though, that the application process to become a brand influencer is competitive. Rankin told HuffPost that Dash Hudson accepts about 1 percent of influencers who apply to represent the brands it manages, such as Gilt and Bebe. The company generally sees between 25 to 50 applications per brand campaign, he added.

2. Post consistently and stylishly on Instagram.

Your feed is your social media "résumé," which brands use to determine whether or not to hire you as an influencer. A good Instagram presence means consistent, tasteful photo posts and captions. The bigger your Instagram portfolio, the better.

Brands also look for influencers whose Instagram style matches that of the brand.

Rankin gave a few examples of Dash Hudson's criteria: "What does the content look like? Does the feed have beautiful, original photos? Is the style of content what we're looking for [for] the brands we're working with? What's their follower number and engagement rate?"

3. Maintain a strong presence on other social media sites.

In her blog, influencer Peg Fitzpatrick -- author of the book The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users -- emphasizes the importance of maintaining an "active" and "professional" social media presence across platforms, especially LinkedIn.

"[A]ll the brands and agencies that I've worked with and talked to check LinkedIn to find out more about people before working with them," Fitzpatrick added in an email to HuffPost.

One of photographer Tim Melideo's promotional posts. 

4. Have at least 5,000 followers.

The number of followers that brands require their influencers to have depends on the company, campaign and project, but most brands generally require that their influencers have at least 5,000 followers. Dash Hudson tends to select influencers who have at least 10,000, according to Rankin. Skinny Bee Tea, a small detox tea company that launched this past February, requires its ambassadors to have a minimum of 5,000. (Make sure you're not buying any of your followers, though.)

For users with larger followings, the process of becoming an influencer can be a fairly smooth one. "A lot of times a brand will contact me and want me to promote a product, event, show or anything," Tim Melideo, a photographer with 31,000 Instagram followers, told HuffPost. "I have rates that they pay in addition to sending me the product."

And the more established an Instagrammer is, the more they can charge for their posts. "I rarely promote products for free anymore," Melideo wrote. "I am now able to utilize my social influence to help pay for food and to live."

In May, Harper's Bazaar reported that Danielle Bernstein, the fashion blogger behind @weworewhat, which has 1.1 million followers, charges anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000 for a single branded Instagram post.

5. Become an unpaid brand ambassador.

No luck finding gigs as a paid influencer? There's another way to get compensated for your stylish Instagram posts. Bloggers can apply to be unpaid "brand ambassadors," to whom businesses send freebies for promotion. 

Skinny Bee Tea, for example, has a brand ambassador program, through which it sends bloggers a 14-day detox package to promote on their social media accounts. Other small brands offer similar programs.

The application process for unpaid brand ambassadorships is the same as for paid influencers, but the odds of getting accepted to be an unpaid brand ambassador tend to be more favorable. Skinny Bee Tea receives two to eight applications per month and accepts about one-third of them into the ambassador program, Kristen Zahodne, the company's owner, told HuffPost.

Think you have what it takes to get money or freebies for your content? Start snapping and good luck!

Iris Apfel, who at 93 years old is fronting major ad campaigns and even recently starred in a documentary about her fabulous, fashionable life, continues to dish out sound advice for achieving great style. And maybe the best takeaway? You should stop taking it so seriously. 

"Being well dressed is a wonderful thing, but I don't think it should be life threatening," she told Harper's Bazaar UK in a new interview, admitting that the fashion press doesn't do much to put anyone's minds at ease. "There's always a list of the 10 things you must have, the 10 things that are out," she said. 

Apfel is easily recognized by her over-the-top style, but as it turns out, her method of choosing what to wear is pretty simple -- she just wears the things she loves, regardless of what season they're from. "I'm still wearing a beautiful dress that I wore when I had my first date with my husband, which was 68 years ago," she said.

Moral of the story? Stop worrying so much about the things you wear, and if something works, keep it. Forever.

Mariah Carey, star of the universally panned 2001 movie "Glitter," is giving Hollywood another shot, only this time, she'll also be behind the camera.

According to the Associated Press, the 45-year-old singer will co-star and direct in "Mariah Carey's Christmas Project," which will air on the Hallmark Channel. 

Naturally, the film is scheduled to air in December to ring in the holiday spirit as part of the network's annual  "Countdown to Christmas" lineup. 

No word on what the scripted film is actually about, but it doesn't really matter, does it? Didn't think so.

You should probably just stick to listening to "All I Want For Christmas Is You," because that's all the Mariah Carey-Christmas content you really need.

It's hard to resist a real, bonafide Internet mystery. Particular when said mystery involves a hashtag like #‎FindTheGirlsOnTheNegatives‬. 

We have Richmond, Virginia-based photographer Meagan Abell to thank for this latest effort in crowd-sourced sleuthing. According to a Facebook post submitted to the World Wide Web on Wednesday night, Abell is searching for the identities of the two women who appear in the found vintage snapshots featured here.

Abell came across these photos at a thrift shop on Hull Street in Richmond a few weeks ago, nestled happily in a box full of plastic sleeved images. She guesses that the retro photos date back to the 1940s or '50s, but she has no idea who the mysterious women might be. 

"NOW this is where I need the Internet's help," she wrote on Facebook. "I would absolutely love to find the women in these photographs/the photographer who took them." She describes the photos as medium format, and no, the owner of the thrift store has no idea where they came from either.

"I'm posting the best/clearest scans of the images, so if y'all could share this around, HOPEFULLY we can make it go viral and find the original photographer/subjects!!!!" she added.

And viral they may go. Jezebel writer Jia Tolentino wrote about the curious women, one dressed in a light blue dress, the other in red. Both are either peering into the ocean or eerily walking into the water, clothes and all.

"The most beautiful thing about this photo set isn’t the women," Tolentino wrote, "it’s where they are, what is saturating them, the alchemical earthbound psychedelia of where the light and water meet. These photos were taken at a moment when day and night were slipping into each other, but this moment, simultaneously heavy and weightless, seems paralyzingly total ... "

So, do you recognize these women? Though their faces remain obscured in most of the picturesque shots, Abell remains hopefuly that someone, somewhere, will be able to identify these two anonymous ladies. Why not help her out? Spread the word, and don't forget the hashtag.

Meet Matteo and Chase, two stylish brothers who probably have more clothes than you.

The New York-based boys (ages seven and four) are both signed with Zuri Model & Talent and have the swag to prove it. All their cute looks and fierce poses are captured on their Instagram account, which is run by their mom, Paola Berry.

Berry started documenting her boys' outfits when her first born, Matteo, was little, but she quickly grew frustrated with the lack of fashionable boys' clothing. Once she managed to track down stylish options for her kids, her friends began asking her where to shop, and so her blog, BerryChicBoyz.com, was born. "A sense of style can boost a kid’s confidence and really allow their personality to shine," Berry told The Huffington Post. "Why be exclusive [about sharing shopping sources] when you can make the world a more stylish place?" Amen to that. 

Check out some fashionable snaps of her boys below and tell us you don't want to copy their outfits.

Her story might sound similar to Kelly Clarkson's or Elisabeth Hasselbeck's -- become a beloved reality star and maybe strike stardom. But Witney Carson's journey to success began on a dance competition show, grew on another and ended with an Emmy nomination. 

The 21-year-old pro-dancer of "Dancing with the Stars" fame received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Choreography for her routines -- "369," "It's Not Unusual" and "Sing with a Swing-Apache" -- with celebrity partner Alfonso Ribeiro on Season 19 of the show. And she was shocked. 

"Waking up, I think I got three calls and 10 texts from random people with everyone saying, 'Congrats,' and I had no idea what was going on," she told The Huffington Post. "Then I put two and two together and figured it out!"

Carson was nominated alongside some of her idols, including fellow "DWTS" pro and Emmy winner Derek Hough and his sister Julianne, as well as some of the choreographers she worked with during her stint on "So You Think You Can Dance," Sonya Tayeh, Travis Wall and Spencer Liff. "It’s an absolute honor," she gushed. "I feel super blessed and grateful for this nomination, especially being alongside choreographers I’ve looked up to for so long, all people that I grew up kind of idolizing -- it means the world to me."

Yes, Carson got her start on that little known dancing show that launched the careers of superstar dancers including Stephen "tWitch" Boss, Allison Holker and Kathryn McCormick. "'So You Think You Can Dance' is kind of a stepping stone for dancers in the industry, so it was always something in my mind that I was going to try and pursue," Carson said. Raised in Utah, the dancer was a dental assistant at the time she auditioned in 2012. 

"I was 18 years old and I had just graduated high school," she told HuffPost. "I trained my whole life as a dancer. Every day after school, I’d come straight to dance. It was just always something that I had my mind set on -- that I would audition." 

After some pressure from her mom, Carson did audition and ended up landing a spot in Season 9's top 20. "It sort of shifted my career in a way," she said. 

Carson made it to the final six before being sent home while her partner Chehon Wespi-Tschopp ended up winning the competition. But, she did get to go on tour with the "SYTYCD" dancers, which is possibly where she made an impression on ABC producers. 

"Toward the end of the tour, I ended up getting a call from this producer from 'Dancing With the Stars' asking me to be on troupe," Carson explained. "I didn’t have to audition or anything, they just kind of said, 'Come in, let’s interview a little bit.' They know that they want you on, but they’re not sure where exactly you fit in, so the troupe is kind of the audition process."

Carson was a part of the troupe for two seasons before she emerged as a pro with celebrity partner Cody Simpson on Season 18. Although she and Simpson only made it to Week 5, she really picked up steam on Season 19 with Ribeiro. In 2014, the pair won the competition and took home the Mirror Ball trophy. Carson, of course, also nabbed an Emmy nod. 

During Season 20 this past spring, Carson was partnered with "Bachelor" star Chris Soules. He wasn't as experienced as the Ribeiro, who made waves with The Carlton Dance.

"Alfonso is super talented and naturally knew how to dance, so with him, I was able to express myself with my full potential because he was so good. We were able to kind of connect in that way and create some pretty cool numbers," she said. "I think with Chris, it was a little bit of a different story because we had to start from ground zero. He didn’t know how to count music and he wasn’t a performer, he’s a normal guy, so we literally were just trying to figure out the steps. Choreographing takes a lot of time," she added. "People sometimes forget that choreographers have a lot to deal with -- we’re focused on our celebrity while trying to think of the theme, wardrobe, music, and just everything that plays into the dance." 

 Soules and Carson finished in 5th place, surely garnering votes from the solid "Bachelor" fanbase. 

Speaking of "The Bachelor" franchise, Carson is pretty sure another familiar face from the reality dating show will be a celebrity contestant next season, as well as another name who has been making headlines across the world. 

"They don’t actually call us until the last minute, so I don’t even know if I’m going to be a professional yet, but I’m crossing my fingers!" she told HuffPost. "As for celebrity rumors, I haven’t heard much, but they usually put on the Bachelor or Bachelorette, so Kaitlyn [Bristowe], I feel like, will probably be on, which would be fun. She has a great personality. And also I heard Caitlyn Jenner might be on, but then again it’s just rumors!"

As for Emmys night on Sept. 20, Carson couldn't be more excited. 

"I’m looking for dresses and what to do with my hair and makeup," she gushed. "I’m super, super excited. I’ve never been, so it’s going to be a special experience. I really want Alfonso to come, and I’m going to tag along with him." 

Season 21 of "Dancing with the Stars" premieres Monday, Sept. 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
