Reese’s Book Club by Reese Witherspoon

In 2012, Witherspoon aimed to tell more stories by women, for women in Hollywood, co-founding a production company called Pacific Standard. In the years that followed, she bought adaptation rights to a slew of bestsellers by female authors, including “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn, “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed, and "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty, turning the first two into box office gold and the third into a critically acclaimed HBO miniseries that was instantly renewed for a second season.

But she's not stopping there. The actress' media company, Hello Sunshine, has several page-to-screen adaptations in the works for 2018, so it's pretty clear that the “A Wrinkle in Time” star absolutely loves to read — and knows what's good in the literary world.

Though it started out as a casual social media endeavor, Reese's Book Club has turned into an Instagram sensation, with over 400,000 followers and counting. And with Witherspoon at the helm of some of the most beloved book to movie adaptations  in recent years, we totally trust her expertise.



Belletrist by Emma Roberts

In her online book club, Belletrist, Roberts teams up with her best friend, producer Ka rah Preiss, giving followers new literary goodies to sink their teeth into every month.

Not only do the pals discuss their favorite new releases, the "American Horror Story" star often sits down with her favorite authors for exclusive interviews, and highlights a new independent bookstore each month where bookworms can snag a copy of that month's picks.



SJP Picks (as part of Book Club Central) by Sarah Jessica Parker

Though we've followed the "Sex and the City" star's fashion advice for decades now, it seems she's also got a love of books up her stylish sleeves, serving as the Honorary Chair of the American Library Association's Book Club Central since 2014.

Parker recommends her favorites on SJP Picks, making us toss our Manolos to the side as we run to our local libraries to grab her novels of choice.

Kim Kardashian and Madonna are unexpectedly collaborating on a beauty project and it could be huge

madonna kim kardashianKim Kardashian West and Madonna are on the brink of a collaborative beauty project.

  • Kardashian West helms a successful makeup brand, KKW Beauty, while Madonna covers skin care with MDNA Skin.
  • The two women posted photos together from an Oscars after-party and hinted that a collab was on the horizon, writing, "A foreshadowing of things to come."
  • Yesterday, Madonna released a teaser video on her Twitter with the phrase "coming soon."


  • What happens when two pop culture icons join forces to create the beauty and skincare collaboration of our wildest dreams? Pure magic, that's what. Enter Kim Kardashian West and Madonna, who are apparently coming together to release an epic new beauty line. Ladies, get your credit cards ready.

    Both entrepreneurs have been enjoying the sweet success of their recent collection launches. KKW Beauty, for example, has routinely sold out after it nearly broke the internet and made more than $14 million dollars in less than three hours. Meanwhile, Madonna released her skincare line, MDNA Skin, in the US last fall after successfully dominating the Asian market for three years.

    But all the while, the two moguls have been quietly collaborating on an MDNA Skin and KKW Beauty partnership. Though few details are known at this point, Madonna and Kardashian West wasted no time at a post-Oscars party, snapping pictures with the likes of Cardi B and hinting that a collab was on the horizon, writing, "a foreshadowing of things to come."

    Then, two days later, the two teamed up for "a serious chat about skin care" at Barney's in Los Angeles, discussing everything from how they first met (it was when Kim and Kourtney were in grade school) to their morning beauty routines. And, of course, they posed for pink bunny filter selfies for fun.

    And we make cute 🐭🐭! Thank you @kimkardashian and all the folks @mdnaskin 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

    A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on Mar 6, 2018 at 11:17pm PST on

    The "Vogue" singer hinted the release on her Twitter account with a 12-second clip that briefly shows the duo walking together, with the cryptic comment "coming soon." Eep.

    We cannot wait to hear more about this illusive KKW Beauty x MDNA Skin line, but we already know it's going to be huge. With KKW Beauty falling in a mid-range price point (most products go for $18 to $160) and MDNA Skin at the higher-end ($50-$600), we're sure these moguls will find a sweet spot. All we know is that we are ready for it.
