Amanda Bynes may be finished with acting, but the 27-year-old headline-maker has a new career plan for herself.

Bynes, who has a penchant for using Twitter to do everything from declaring her love for a certain rapper to defending herself against the paparazzi and media, to attacking other celebrities, took to the social media website to announce her plans for the future on Monday morning.

The tweet, which largely focused on her recent run-in with the NYPD, closes with Bynes looking towards a career in music. "Look forward to seeing me in music videos!" Bynes wrote. "I'm getting in shape and getting a nose job! I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful career as a singer/rapper!"

If she does pursue her dreams of becoming "a singer/rapper," it won't be the first time that Bynes has tried her hand at music. Her appearance in 2007's "Hairspray" remake included her vocals on the film's soundtrack.

Shaving is just as much a rite of passage for girls as it is for boys. We here at HuffPost Style will never forget the moment we first picked up a razor to shave our legs. Fortunately, we got much better at it and have ended up with fewer nicks. But there's one body part that still gives us pause when it comes hair removal: underarms.

Shaving your armpits requires a bit more finesse due to their hollow shape. It also doesn't help that those hundreds of tiny hairs are all growing in various directions. Waxing or sugaring are effective alternatives to tackle hairy underarms, however both methods can be quite costly and time-consuming.

To help us all get prepared to bare underarms this summer, senior brand manager of Schick Quattro for Women, Jon Jager, shares his seven tips on how to shave your armpits.

Always exfoliate first when shaving any area. Exfoliating will get rid of dead skin cells and allow for a closer shave. A mild exfoliator or your favorite body wash with a washcloth will work.
Shave at night when possible. Shaving can leave skin very sensitive, so apply lotion afterwards and use the night to let the skin recover. In the summer, try to limit your shaving routine to the night before a trip to the beach. Heading into salty ocean water or chlorine when you've just shaved can leave your skin feeling raw and irritated.
The area should be wet, and you should always use a shave gel. The moisture from a lotion, soap or body wash isn’t designed to stay on the skin for the duration of a shave. Shave gels contain moisturizing benefits that quickly get moisture into the hair and stay there, reducing the force required to cut through the hair. Additionally, shaving should be your final step before leaving the shower. The warm moisture of a shower makes hairs soft and plump and opens your pores.
Use a razor with a pivoting head and multiple blades to give you a smooth, close shave. This rubber handle razor allows for better gripability and following the contours of a women’s body.
In hard-to-reach areas ,women tend to run the blade over their skin too much, and repeated shaving of the same area of skin is a major cause of skin irritation and razor burn. A simple solution is using a rich, dense shaving gel which can be clearly seen on the skin, allowing for easy tracking of the shaved area.
In places where hair grows in different directions, such as underarms and the bikini area, try pulling the skin slightly, making it more taut and easier to shave. Then work upwards or downwards to avoid razor burn.
Don’t be thrifty! Discard shaving blades after four or five uses to avoid ingrown hairs and shaving with a blunt blade.

Memo to everyone: Don't mess with Chief Keef because he'll majorly overreact and get down right scary.

It's hard not to feel a little sympathy for Kim Kardashian since she hasn't had the easier time during her pregnancy.

The 32-year-old reality star has gracefully dealt with the tabloids calling her fat as she's gained weight the way pregnant women tend to do. Her sister Khloe recently took a stand against Kim's body critics, but it seems as though the reality star herself has had a difficult time dealing with her pregnancy curves.

In one scene from the trailer for season 8 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim asks "how the f**k did I get like this," while discussing her growing belly with her family, and in another she bares her bump while clad in lingerie.

Kim's weight has been under a microscope since she first announced her pregnancy back in December. The reality star was often seen hitting the gym early on, and rumors quickly spread that she was dreading gaining weight, though she told Cosmopolitan that she more than expected to "definitely be up there," in the weight department by the time she gives birth.

At an event in New York in April, Kardashian told Us Weekly that she was slowly learning to accept her new figure:

"It was really hard for me to accept that the body changes, and I was having a different kind of pregnancy than Kourtney did," she told the magazine. "She made it look really easy, but ever since the baby started to kick I've really embraced it. Now I love being pregnant!"

It's been almost a year since Katie Holmes dropped the divorce bomb on husband Tom Cruise (and the rest of us, for that matter). Now rumors are swirling that the 34-year-old has moved on romantically with "Mania Days" co-star Luke Kirby, with whom she was photographed grabbing dinner in New York Tuesday evening after a day of shooting an intimate water fountain scene at Washington Square Park.

The Daily Mail suggests that Holmes is "the latest actress to fall for her co-star," while the IBTimes wondered if "a special relationship is blossoming between Holmes and [Kirby]."

A case of life imitating art, or just really good acting? As suggested by its title, the film, produced by Spike Lee, follows a couple of manic depressives who start a romance after meeting in a psychiatric hospital. Kirby, a veteran television actor, most recently played the romantic lead opposite Michelle Williams in the Sarah Polley-directed "Take This Waltz."

For his part, 50-year-old Cruise was briefly linked to a New York restaurant manager in December but told "ET" that he was focusing more on work. "I'm not thinking about [dating] right now. Right now I'm thinking about the movie ["Oblivion"]," Cruise said.

Failure is OK, but continuing to work hard is more important, Michelle Obama said Friday.

That was the message the first lady delivered to students at an elementary school where the arts are being used to help boost student performance. The school is located in Anacostia, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods.

Mrs. Obama said failure was not an impediment for her and shouldn't be for them.

She also encouraged the students to "try new things and not be afraid to fail, because we have all failed."

"You're looking at the first ... I have failed at things. Things have been really hard for me at times," Mrs. Obama said at Savoy Elementary School. "But all I had to do was keep going and keep working hard."

To further illustrate her point, she pointed to Kerry Washington, star of ABC's "Scandal," as another example.

Mrs. Obama said the actress, who was sitting in the audience for the visit, is a big star these days because she chose to keep perfecting her craft instead of becoming discouraged by rejection during her career.

"She spent a lot of time practicing and working and trying out for things and having people tell her `no,' `no, thank you,' `you're not good enough, you're not pretty enough,'" the first lady said. "Could you imagine somebody telling Kerry that she wasn't pretty enough, she wasn't tall enough, she was too short? That's all performing is, is rejection."

Washington, who is the school's arts ambassador, later said she wasn't sure how that came to be.

"It might have something to do with playing Olivia Pope and having a principal Pope," she joked. Olivia Pope is her character on "Scandal" and Patrick Pope is the school's principal.

“And therefore he has been placed under arrest and will be produced before a court within 24 hours as per the law.”

The police will need to specify the specific charges against Meiyappan when they produce him in court. SOURCE

Gunmen killed four Indian soldiers Friday in an ambush outside Srinagar, sparking a gun battle in which one attacker also died.
The Indian soldiers were on a search operation during a patrol when they were ambushed in the village of Hardu Buchoo, 30 kilometres  southeast of Srinagar near the forested area of Tral. “The militants fired at the soldiers from outside the village, when the cordon was laid,” Indian army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ankur Vashist told AFP in Srinagar. “Four of our soldiers were killed,” Vashist said. The gunmen fled into the forest and the army called in reinforcements to encircle the area and try to capture them. Three soldiers were killed in the ambush and a soldier injured in the ensuing gunbattle later died, a police official told AFP.
“One militant involved in the attack was also killed during the encounter. We are ascertaining his identity,” Abdul Gani Mir, police chief, said.
The ambush comes a day after Indian forces killed a top militant from outlawed group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Srinagar during an early morning gun battle.
