Whelp, thanks to the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion video from Entertainment Weekly, you can expect me to drop off the face of the planet for the next couple of weeks (oh, ya, it’ll only take me weeks). I will be binge-watch all of Buffy once again to satisfy my longing for the good old days when episodes were new and my teen angst was alive and strong.
Not only was Buffy relatable to my hormone-rattled brain, but Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy was one of the first female leads of a show. And you bet I wanted to be her.
Especially when, be still my heart, she and Angel found that life-altering love that I was very quickly discovering I wanted, too. Until, he got all soulless and whatnot. Then it was just utterly heartbreaking in that way that you kinda hope for in every show.
The best part of the reunion video was that the show genuinely seems to mean just as much to the cast as it did to me growing up. They all appreciate and understand the legacy Buffy has.
“I’m so incredibly proud of what we all created,” Gellar told the mag. “Sometimes you need distance to really understand the gravitas of that. I appreciate everything about that job. As an actor, all you ever want to do is leave your mark – you want to do something that affects people.”
And affect people, she has.
My teen years just wouldn’t have been the same without this show. It gave me hope that there was life after high school and sure as hell made me believe I could be anything I wanted, even a vampire-slaying warrior goddess.
Carolyn Hennesy has been stirring up trouble and sipping the tea as the smart and sassy Diane Miller on General Hospital since 2006. Her work on the show even earned her a 2010 Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
Fans love Hennesy both on and off screen for her sharp wit, trapeze tricks and her frankness about “women of a certain age.” It’s what makes her one of the most refreshing actresses in the entertainment industry.
SheKnows caught up with Hennesy, not only to ask about GH, but to find out the inside scoop on the rumored Gilmore Girls sequel.
Since fans adore the antics of Diane Miller, we gave Hennesy a quiz on how Diane Miller would respond to these pop culture topics:
The O.J. Simpson trial: “First of all, if she had been defending him, she would have incurred major bad karma points. I don’t think she would have wanted to be in the same room with him, but she would have given him the best defense.”
J.Lo dating Alex Rodriguez: “She would say, ‘Honey, stop jumping from man to man. You are not a flea going from dog to dog. Take some time and give yourself a year at a nice spa with a good therapist – reflect and revamp your whole way of doing things.'”
How to united a divided country: “Diane Miller would run for president. It’s as simple as that. Like our current commander-in-chief, I would take not any B.S., but I would do it in much more binding and bonding way. I would make a no-divisive law.”
If those answers don’t make you love Hennesy even more, how about her next big storyline on GH? She teased us with a few upcoming plot points.
“One of the main characters is going off on a nebulous, inner psychological tangents and Diane is heavily involved,” she laughed. “Frank Valentini [General Hospital‘s executive producer] loves me for a reason and it’s because I know how to spin the spoil.”
“I think Diane Miller, using Carolyn Hennesy’s trapeze skills, should descend from the ceiling of the ballroom and do a delightful little trapeze number,” she offered. “I think that would be Hi-larious!”
Her artful comedy was also seen in last fall’s Gilmore Girls reboot as Toni, one of Emily Gilmore’s friends in the Daughters of the American Revolution club. While she doesn’t think her character will be back after Emily’s evolution and move to the beach, she does have an opinion on Rory’s baby daddy.
“I’m not thrilled with that Logan in London who is cheating on his fiancée,” she said. “And I am not thrilled that Rory’s is doing that. Come on!”
We couldn’t agree more with her Rory assessment and her thoughts on women in Hollywood. Hennesy is vocal about the entertainment industry needing to share stories about women over the age of 45.
“I would love to see the industry cater to women who are not millennials,” she explained. “I understand that you need to keep that audience going, but I think there are so many women who need to see themselves, that age category that I call ‘women of a certain age.’ We need to see women over 45, over 50 and over 60 represented.”
While the entertainment industry needs to rethink how they are handling women over 45, Hennesy believes daytime television is setting the bar for how women’s stories are handled.
“I think daytime TV is doing remarkably well. I think they’re starting to explore LGBT issues, women of a certain age with great friendship issues, cougar issues and why it’s not wrong – I think they’re making the women smarter. Women are doing great!”
Kim Kardashian West has finally told the entire story of her Paris robbery, sparing no details, and it will absolutely break your heart.
On last night’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she explained everything about the night she was robbed at gunpoint for $10 million worth of jewelry.
Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian’s stylist, Simone Harouche, were out partying with her when Kardashian West decided to go back to the hotel and rest, she said.
“What I think happened now after thinking about it so much is that there was probably a group of guys that were following us the entire trip,” she explained. “I was Snapchatting that I was home and that everyone was going to out, so I think they knew Pascal [Duvier, Kardashian West’s bodyguard] was out with Kourtney and that I was there by myself.”

Kardashian West continued, “And I was laying in bed, like ‘should I wash my face? I’m so tired. I’m in my robe, I need to get up, I need to wash my face’ and then 10 minutes later, I was like dozing, dozing, and then I heard pounding up the stairs. I thought it was you and Stephanie [likely Sheppard, Kardashian West’s assistant] drunk. I’m calling to them like ‘hello, hello, hello,’ and there’s no answer.”
That’s when Kardashian West knew something wasn’t right, she said.
“And then at that moment, when there wasn’t an answer, my heart started to get really tense… My door was open like this,” she explained, holding up her hands to show a slight opening, “and I saw two guys holding another guy down in police uniforms but right outside of my bedroom, five feet away. So I slid off my bed and picked up my phone and I’m like ‘I don’t know how to call 911 in a different country.’ And so I like called Pascal and then the guy came and grabbed the phone from me, threw me on the bed, and I was like ‘this is it.'”
The men had the hotel concierge handcuffed. Talking to him later, Kardashian West learned that they had threatened him with their guns and demanded he take them to her room. He also translated – the robbers didn’t speak any English, and Kardashian West doesn’t speak any French.
Kardashian West continued, “I was looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs. I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision. Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back – it makes me so upset to think about it – but either they’re going to shoot me in the back or if I make it and they don’t, if the elevator doesn’t open in time or the stairs are locked, then I’m fucked! There’s no way out.”
Instead, she said she pleaded with the concierge to tell the men that she had children at home.
“I have babies. Please, they can’t understand me, but tell them I have babies at home,” she said. “Please, I have a family. Let me live!”
Kardashian West explained that one of the men put duct tape over her mouth. “And then, he grabs my legs and I wasn’t, you know, I had no clothes on under. He pulled me toward him at the front of the bed and I thought, ‘OK, this is the moment they’re going to rape me,'” she said. “I fully mentally prepped myself – and then he didn’t.”
Instead, he put tape around her legs and then held up the gun, she said. “I just knew that was the moment,” Kardashian West recalled. “They’re just totally going to shoot me in the head. I just prayed that Kourtney’s going to have a normal life after she sees my dead body on the bed.”
On KUWTK, Kardashian West explained that she was sure she was going to die. She was thinking about her family and praying for them to be safe when the robbers put her in the bathtub, stole her jewels and left.
Pascal and Kourtney Kardashian returned just minutes later, and they flew back to the U.S. the next day. Kardashian West disappeared from social media and the spotlight for months, but has gradually returned.
After KUWTK aired, she took to Instagram to explain how the experience made her stronger.

“I took a tragic horrific experience and did not let it diminish me, rather grew and evolved and allowed the experience to teach me,” she wrote. “I can say I’ve become so much better because of it….thank you for allowing me to share my story tonight.”
Going into a sex shop for the first time can be intimidating no matter how old you are or what you’re looking for. Thoughts can vary from feeling uneducated or naive for not knowing your way around the store to a fear of being judged for going in at all. Although there are a lot of online alternatives for those who aren’t willing to go in person (think Jack and Jill), there are many benefits to going into an actual store.
But if you’re feeling anxious about choosing brick-and-mortar, here are some simple solutions for any pre-visit anxiety.
1. Bring a friend with you
It might sound weird, but bringing a friend you can trust with you on your first visit can not only make you feel better about being there, but it can remind you that the experience can also be fun.
Keep in mind that any sex shop is an actual business, and you don’t want to make fun of things that other people might like, but if you need to laugh your way through some of your unease with your friends, that’s acceptable too. It might also benefit you to find a friend who has some experience in shopping in adult stores, so if you find you have a question you are not comfortable asking an employee, you can defer to them.
2. Have an idea of what you’re looking for before you go in
Most sex shops have a lot to choose from, from the basic selections of safer sex supplies and vibrators to more advanced toys, costumes and literature. Even if you don’t intend to purchase anything and just want to check the store out, having an idea of what you want to see can save you some confusion and prevent you from feeling too overwhelmed.
If it’s your first time buying anything from an adult store, starting simpler is usually safer. Find something that you’re already familiar with or have already researched and work your way up so if you do need advice, you can work from a basis of knowledge.
The employees are there to help you. There is no question that will embarrass them or make them think less of you, because even if it is your first time there, it’s not theirs. The employees are used to answering questions, and keep in mind that if you don’t ask questions, you risk ending up with a product that isn’t what you’re looking for or even something you’re not sure how to use.
If you find you just can’t work up the nerve to ask your questions directly, some shops have FAQ pamphlets that can help ease you into the process.
Regardless of your comfort level, just know that most sex stores work to create a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment for all of their customers and that no one will look at you differently for being there or for asking for help.
Begin this look by swooping all hair down onto the nape of the neck.
Step 2:
Make a low ponytail, but don’t pull hair all the way through. There will be a loop of hair and a “tail” hanging underneath.
Step 3:
Divide the loop of hair into two sides.
Step 4:
With bobby pins, pin each side of the loop against your head. Make sure the sides look symmetrical. Don’t worry about them being perfect though – our hair bow is a little loose and carefree.
Step 5:
Braid the “tail” hanging at the nape of your neck and tie off with a hair tie.
Step 6:
Bring the braided “tail” up and tuck under to hide the end. Bobby pin into place.
Step 7:
Tweak bow as needed and you’re finished – so cute.
Fashionista ponytail
Step 1:
Begin by adding a light wave to your hair.
Step 2:
Next, make three ponytails stacking them top to bottom – one high at the crown of your head, the other in the middle and the last one at the nape of your neck. Be sure to give each ponytail a good tug to ensure it’s tight.
Step 3:
Add a texture spray and lightly back-comb each ponytail to pump up the volume.
Step 4:
Take very small sections of hair and braid each section. Be sure to scatter the braids around sporadically so it doesn’t look contrived (3-4 small braids are perfect).
Step 5:
You’re finished. Making three separate ponytails keeps your hair looking full and long – you won’t lose any length like you normally do with a regular ponytail – this ponytail is sassy.
Crown braid
Step 1:
Start a loose braid at your bang area. Keep this braid hugging the crown of your head. If hair falls around your face – leave it! We want this look to be easygoing.
Step 2:
Once the braid is complete, pin it low at the back of your head.
Step 3:
Add a matching braid on the other side and bring around to the back of the head to meet the first braid. Pin the second braid into place (be sure to hide the pins under the hair so they’re not seen).
Step 4:
Take the ends of each braid and tie them in a knot like you’re tying a shoelace – same concept. Double knot the ends (like you would a shoelace) and pin to hold into place – be sure to hide the pin.
Step 5:
Give hair a light spray of hairspray to hold. Next, prepare for compliments!

And then I answered my own rhetorical question: It doesn’t matter. The more I watched it, the happier I felt. I’ve watched it eleven times now and I’m fucking euphoric. Watch it again. Seriously, do it. I’ll wait.
Don’t try to analyze it. Don’t try to figure out why? or for what? or Jayden Smith what are you smoking and can I have some, FFS?
If you ask these questions, you’ll ruin it, you’ll fucking ruin it, and I just can’t handle that right now.
With this video, Jayden Smith proves that he is the only thing pure in this world, with his hair looking like a low-budget The Weeknd, rocking that blank expression better than every stoner out there. Trust me, guys, we need this.
Donald motherfucking Trump is president, an accountant ruined the Academy Awards, and that lady who pretended to be black is still pretending to be black even though she is super, super white. She’s completely white and everyone knows it! The jig is up! End this nonsense!
Everything is fucked and nothing makes sense, so why wouldn’t Jayden Smith shoot a two-minute-and-nineteen-second video for Vanity Fair for no apparent reason while reciting a string of random facts that you’d typically find printed on novelty toilet paper?
I mean, as I see it we have two options after seeing that video. We can sit here asking questions like
But that would be stupid because these are stupid questions. I think we know in our hearts that we don’t deserve to ask these questions.
You think you’re better than Jayden Smith? Wrong. You’ll never be as awestruck by your nose as Jayden Smith is by his. You’ll never have a purer appreciation for the simple facts of our universe than he does.
Just go back and look at his face as he struggles to grasp these most basic of observations about our planet and our species (I’ve watched it sixteen times now). He can’t even handle it. And if you can, it means that you’ve lost the sense of wonder that makes life worth living.
Our reaction to this video shouldn’t be to ask stupid questions like Seriously, though, are you promoting something? or When did your hair get so long? or Do you use special products on your skin to get it to look so perfect or is it just because you’re still young while I grow increasingly decrepit as the days pass?
Don’t do that. Instead just close the blinds, grab a bag of Doritos and play this video on repeat with the volume cranked to 11.
Let the feelings wash over you. Let go of your ceaseless need for logic and reason. Give in. Give in. Give in.
There are many things to love about Last Week Tonight: hard-hitting political commentary, British wit and outreach efforts related to issues highlighted on the show. Now, we can add catchy tunes to the list.
During the latest episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver continued to skewer Donald Trump for his administration’s long, long list of shortcomings. Of particular interest was Trump’s concerning relationship with Vladimir Putin and why it’s not really a good idea to be buddy-buddy with Russia these days.

Oliver’s usual in-depth research and clever humor would have been more than enough to keep us informed and entertained, but he stepped it up with a hilarious musical number about Putin. And no, we’re not talking about he typical Broadway-inspired performance we’ve seen on so many late night political shows. This time, Oliver and his team pulled out all the stops with techno music. Looking for something new to add to your workout playlist? Look no further – the latest John Oliver song is perfect!
Oliver’s techno masterpiece (named “A Man Like Putin”) included hilarious visual effects, lots of dancing and a surprisingly catchy melody. The lyrics included such memorable tidbits as, “A man like Putin only wants power, he’ll fake a tape of your golden shower.”
A Man Like Putin
A Man Like Putin
The song also offered a new reason journalists such as Oliver best be wary during a Trump administration: “Critics like Oliver better run far because he’ll track you down and he’ll shit on your car.”
This is all part of Oliver’s efforts to package information in a way that might actually make sense to Donald Trump and his ilk. Last week, it was all about short, easily digestible advertisements for cable news (where, as you may recall, Trump seems to obtain the majority of his often incorrect information). This week, song and dance is the preferred form of communication.
It’s great to see John Oliver mixing things up. The world can use more silly techno music in these troubling times. We can’t wait to see what John Oliver and the team at Last Week Tonight delivers next.

When you have naturally red hair, people seem to think it makes it OK for them to do certain really annoying things. Women constantly grab strands of your hair, hold them up to the light and exclaim about how people pay all of the money to get that hair color and so you should never, ever complain about anything in your life because you couldn’t possibly have problems because you have naturally red hair. Men, particularly in places where alcohol is served and/or on the middle school basketball court, ask if the carpet matches the drapes.
As a relatively well-adjusted adult, I find myself able to brush these things off as minor annoyances. But as an incredibly shy child, they pretty much ruined my life on the regular.
Enter Ariel from The Little Mermaid, who was a strong, independent woman and who had the voice of an angel and whose hair looked just like mine. Suffice it to say, Ariel was a pretty important figure in my childhood life. Normally, when it comes to casting movies, even if I don’t agree with the actors who land the roles, I shrug and move on with life because there are more important things to worry about. But when it comes to Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, the idea of Lindsay Lohan in the title role simply will not stand.
Lohan posted a side-by-side comparison of herself and Ariel to Instagram, presumably because she’s pitching herself for the role.
Lindsay Lohan wants to play Ariel in Little Mermaid 2

Lohan definitely looks the part, which is great. If this were based on looks alone, she would nail it, and I would shut up and happily buy my tickets to see the movie. But there is one really, really big problem with the idea of Lohan playing Ariel. She can’t sing Ariel’s music. I know that saying that is going to irritate some Lohan fans out there because she did take a respectable stab at a music career. But Lohan simply doesn’t have the right sound for the delicate soprano songs that Ariel sings. I don’t want a pop-punk version of Ariel. I want the songs I used to dance around the kitchen singing as a little girl. I don’t think Lohan can deliver that.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the previews that have come out for Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast remake, it’s that the music cannot be an afterthought to casting a famous face for the role. Emma Watson is an incredible actress, but her extremely heavily auto-tuned version of “Something There” is an irritating mess of a great song. Disney, don’t make the same mistake twice.
Welcome back to Parental Advisory, where I answer all of your social media and IRL parenting etiquette questions. This week, let’s talk about “baby bump” pictures on Facebook.
Question:
I’m 8 months pregnant. Let me start out by saying that I am not that person that uses social media as a cry for help/sympathy, political stances, or to say “never forget.” I just use it for fun. You won’t find many selfies of me. My pics are mostly of the city or my dog, and once I have my baby girl, I’m sure there will be pics, but in most of them she will have a stupid hat on, or adult sunglasses. I never wanted to put pics up of my ultrasound, the same way I never wanted to put engagement pics up, or even have them taken. It’s the same reason why I won’t put up a bump pic. Actually, I’m lying, I do want to do one because at this point, my husband and I have just about the same size gut, but he’s not going for it. I would just do it in jest or in a self-deprecating way, because why not?
People ask me, actually ask me, “Where are the bump pics?” There is one picture of me 5 months pregnant from my cousin’s engagement party. I posted it because I was wearing a great dress. I’m 5’9′ so I didn’t really start to show until about almost 7 months. I had someone comment, who was at the party with me, and ask why she hadn’t seen any other “bump pics.” I told her it was because I don’t want to put them on Facebook. Mind you, I can appreciate the excitement, don’t get me wrong. I’m not a Mommie Dearest type, but it’s just not in me to react the way she wanted me to, or the way she would have. Maybe I don’t like the attention, maybe I just don’t want it. I’m not about crying out, “Look at me, I’m pregnant!” I definitely have some pictures that I have taken, but those are for me to send to my husband or sister, family, etc…privately.
When people have questioned me, I am proud to tell them that I don’t feel the need to do it. Maybe it’s out of spite for every idiot that I have to deal with on Facebook on an almost daily basis, pregnant or not. You always hope that people would respect your answer and opinion and I stupidly think that people will share my thinking, that it’s a breath of fresh air that I am not caving in, but no, it’s where the shaming begins. “Why not?” “You have to!” “Don’t you want everyone to know?” My question is: When did Facebook become the end all/be all? When did people start living their lives by it, as well as the lives of their unborn child? I missed that train.
In many ways, K., your questions are a reflection of what so many of us are thinking but dare not say on Facebook. To criticize how people use Facebook today is to admit that you’re not entirely comfortable with the highly performative aspects of social media, which is a sentiment that drifts further and further away from acceptability. Perhaps 10 years ago, Facebook didn’t so closely resemble a theatrical production, with everyone “playing their parts,” but it’s since blossomed into, essentially, a 24/7 soap opera in which we are all the players. Some people have leading roles – we all know who they are – while the rest of us remain in minor roles until something big comes along, like a job promotion, a cross-country move, an engagement, a wedding or – everyone’s favorite! – a baby announcement.
Most people are bit players in the never-ending Facebook production of our lives, and they seize the opportunity to rise in the ranks. They’ve been meagerly liked, always anticipating a big announcement or “reveal” of some kind, and they’ve been waiting for their time to shine. They want the likes, the praise and the 35 comments that all say, “Congrats!” and they cannot, and potentially will never, understand why anyone in their right mind wouldn’t carpe diem the shit out of a pregnancy, which lasts a whopping nine months. Even if a woman doesn’t announce her pregnancy until the second trimester (which I personally recommend, and which was discussed here), she has ample time to (over)saturate Facebook with belly pics and soak up all that superficial love. Who wouldn’t want in on that, right?
Image: STFU Parent
And yet, there are actually a lot of women just like you, K., who are turned off by the hype, feel awkward about being celebrated (on Facebook, at least) just for getting knocked up and who don’t necessarily want to share images of their bodies just to rake in all of that fleeting adoration. You’re certainly not alone in recognizing that this is all a dog and pony show; it’s just that we haven’t yet entered the era in which people can be critical of such things aloud without suffering some kind of consequence.
If you say out loud, “Bump pics are stupid,” or, “I think bump pics are a cry for attention,” you’re at risk of offending a large percentage of your Facebook friends. After all, the original target age group that’s grown up with Facebook is the demographic that’s been procreating like crazy for the past decade. Mark Zuckerberg himself now has a baby, and his sister Randi, who was a Facebook executive for years, has written a children’s book and now speaks about “modern day etiquette on the internet” after becoming a parent. Everyone and their mother (soon-to-be grandmother!) has or is having kids, and many do choose to participate in over-the-top pregnancy announcements, baby bump pictorials and/or elaborate professional photo shoots. Some people even update Facebook on behalf of their fetus, ’cause they know all that self-promotion has an end date (i.e., the start date of a new cycle of post-birth baby spam), and they want to savor those moments right up until the minute their water breaks.
Image: STFU Parents
The issue, as you said, is that you’d think more people would be in favor of a friend choosing not to amplify her pregnancy by shining a literal spotlight on her belly. And it’s possible that day may be just around the corner. We’ve really all seen plenty of baby bumps by now, haven’t we? Even Beyoncé couldn’t resist a maternity photo shoot, and not just because she’s Beyoncé, but because it’s what the internet demands. I assure you, if Beyoncé hadn’t released a series of images that include being surrounded by piles of gorgeous flowers and swimming underwater draped in chiffon, her own friends would’ve been like, “Hey, Bey, you gonna do a photo shoot or what?”
No one can escape the madness of the bump pics. That said, I do believe there’s a lurking, undeniable desire for fewer bump pics, and certainly not more bump pics. Sure, your mom friends or friends from high school or whatever might be encouraging you to post a new belly picture each month, but if the inherent honesty of internet memes is any indicator, the majority of the people you’re friends with can go the rest of their lives without watching their friends’ pregnant bellies expand on a month-to-month basis, day after day, year over year.
Image: STFU Parents
Therefore, I think you’re doing everything right, K. You’re “living your truth,” which is not to draw extra attention to the baby you’re about to give birth to simply because you’re not into it. Sticking to your guns during the pregnancy will serve you well, because if you think people are on your ass to post more photos now, just wait until you have the baby. People will try to convince you to post a new picture every day, if not every hour, because they’re… I don’t know… bored at work? Really into pictures of swaddled infants? Happier to see an innocent child in their newsfeed than stories about our new nightmare administration?
Even if these reasons are all valid, you don’t have to succumb to pressures on social media, and it’s helpful that you already know and practice that. People can continue to revolve their lives around Facebook and judge others based on how little or how much they reveal about themselves or their kids, and you can just sit back and watch without reservation. You also have a unique opportunity before you, which you can choose to take or not, to freak out your friends to the point of wishing they hadn’t bothered to ask for bump pics in the first place. You’re almost full-term, so if the mood strikes, don’t be afraid to take the bump pic of all bump pics as a hearty response to all those lingering requests.
Image: STFU Parents
Sometimes in life, we must be careful what we wish for.
Congrats on embarking on motherhood, K.! Good luck fending off your future baby’s fans.

A Twitter account that has long been rumored to be Bynes’ secret personal account has been posting photos and updates claiming to be engaged to someone named Matt and expecting a baby.
The account isn’t Bynes’ verified @amandabynes account, but it has some pretty personal photos, you know, like Bynes hanging out with an ultrasound wand at a doctor’s office. A lot of the posts on the alleged personal account have been deleted in the last few days, and tweets from Bynes’ verified account insist that she is not the owner of the @PersianLa27 account, which allegedly hacked her personal Instagram to steal the photos.

Right after those tweets were posted to Bynes’ verified account, though, @PersianLA27 came right back, insisting that she was the real Bynes and posting photos to prove it. The account holder also claims that Bynes’ parents run the verified account, and that it can’t be trusted.
There’s not really any proof one way or the other whether the account is legit. It has some pretty personal photos, but it’s true those could have been hacked from Bynes’ phone or another social media account. The most definitive proof that it’s not Bynes comes from Ary Morales, a recent graduate from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, who claims the account was tweeting once while she was in class with Bynes, who wasn’t using her phone at the time.
