Traveler’s Tip: 6 American Hand Gestures That Are Offensive Overseas

Source: DjelicS / Getty It’s easy (and almost natural) to use hand gestures in foreign countries where you know little to none of its native language. But, did you know some of our regular hand gestures, even as simple as a thumbs-up, are offensive overseas?   Esurance.com gathered an eye-opening list of hand gestures that have different meanings in different places.

Pointing Pointing can be taken as “attitude” in many countries — America, too, in some instances. Instead of pointing, experts recommend using an open-hand gesture to motion the same acts. 2. Fingers Pressed To Your Nose We often squeeze our nose when things stink, but in Southern Italy, it means “I don’t trust you.” 3. Thumbs Up Where we’re from, a thumbs up just means “ok” or “all good,” but in some parts of the Middle East, it means “I don’t really like you.” 4. Beckoning Finger Have you ever motioned someone to come your way with your finger? Well, in places like Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and some parts of Africa, it’s almost seen as an invitation to fight: “Death to you.”   5. Peace Sign A quick two fingers in the air could signify far worst than peace in the U.K., Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, depending on how you position it. When done with your palm facing inward, it means “anti-peace.” 6. High Five A high five equates to “hey” and “way to go” in America, but in Greece and other parts of the Mediterranean hub, it kind of means “talk to the hand.”   See Esurance.com’s suggestions on how to make up for your mistakes overseas here .

Aside From Their Ups & Downs On The Show, The Women Of ‘Eurphoria’ Are Absolutely Killing It Right Now

Excerpt from:

Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty The Actresses From Euphoria Are KILLING IT Both On And Off Screen If you’re not watching Euphoria right now, then you’re not only missing out on a pretty unique series–but you’re also missing a really great new group of talent that’s bursting onto the scene along with the success of the show. Everyone knows and loves Zendaya , and as the star of the show, there’s no doubt that a lot of people first decided to check out the series because of her role as Rue . Beside a few other big names like Eric Dane from Grey’s Anatomy , a lot of lesser-known models, actresses, and influencers are making their television debut with their roles on Euphoria –and they’re absolutely killing it. Before Alexa Demie was known for her role on Euphoria , she had smaller roles on series like Ray Donovan , Marina in Love , and in films including Mid90’s and Waves . Now, she’s taking over our screens every Sunday with her portrayal of the perfectly imperfect Maddy Perez , who manages to both win over the audience’s heart and piss them off at the same time. In real life, she’s always posting immaculate photos onto her Instagram page and just gifted us with her personal ’90s glam tutorial via Vogue’s Youtube channel. Her makeup looks on and offscreen have everyone talking and after her success on the first season of Euphoria , we’re sure to see her in a lot more roles moving forward. Barbie Ferreira is another actress from the show whose built herself a real cult following online–but she wasn’t exactly unknown before hitting the small screen. On Euphoria , Barbie portrays Kat Hernandez , a girl who goes from losing her virginity to developing a whole new sexual persona entirely–a lot of which has to do with discovering that men actually find her fuller figure attractive. Even though this is her first major acting gig, the world has known Barbie for a while now because of her work as a plus size model. As someone whose been advocating for body positivity for such a long time offscreen, there’s no better person to go through that journey as Kat on Euphoria . Yet another breakthrough star who found their first acting gig in Euphoria is Hunter Schafer . Always sharing screen time with someone like Zendaya–whose been in the industry since she was a child–has to be tough, but she’s so good, you’d never know this is her first time learning lines. Offscreen, she lights up any room she walks into with her light-hearted and completely calm personality. Going from the world of modeling into a starring role on a TV show can’t be easy, and even though her role as a trans person on TV shows increasing diversity, she still makes sure to vocalize her privilege while advocating for others, including trans people of color. There are so many other women on the series that are absolutely killing it in their roles on Euphoria including Maude Apatow , Sydney Sweeney , and Storm Reid . It’s clear from their interactions online that these girls have built a real sisterhood with each other while making this series, and with season 2 already in the works, it’s going to make for even better on-screen chemistry when new episodes roll around. It’s refreshing to see a major HBO production hire up-and-coming talent instead of tapping into the same talent pool already floating around so many Hollywood productions. Now that these women have made such an impression on fans, it’ll be exciting what avenues they get into next. View this post on Instagram To everyone in this photo, I’m honored and proud to be standing next to you. Love you kids @euphoria A post shared by Zendaya (@zendaya) on Jun 6, 2019 at 1:07pm PDT

Grey’s Anatomy Spoilers: Everything We Know About Season 16

Grey's Anatomy is the show that will never die.  It has been renewed for TWO more seasons — and will likely continue for several years beyond that, as long as Ellen Pompeo is on board. As we look ahead to Grey's Anatomy Season 16, we've rounded up everything we know about what's on tap. Consider yourself SPOILER WARNED and read on… 1. There’s No End in Sight ABC handed out a renewal for two seasons, meaning Grey’s Anatomy will be on the air until 2021. 2. Ending the Show Will Be Ellen Pompeo’s Decision to Make Worried about Pompeo leaving and the show going on without her? That’s not going to happen. Series creator Shonda Rhimes told E! News in an interview that she’s following Pompeo’s lead on this one. “Ellen and I have a pact that I’m going to do the show as long as she’s going to do the show. So the show will exist as long as both of us want to do it,” Rhimes said. “If she wants to stop, we’re stopping. So I don’t know if we’ll see 600 [episodes], but I want to keep it feeling fresh. As long as there are fresh stories to tell and as long as we’re both excited about the stories being told, we’re in. So we’ll see where that takes us.” 3. There Will Be More LinkMelia Chris Carmack has been promoted to series regular, meaning that there will be more of Link’s relationship with Amelia. 4. There Will Be More Koracick Greg Germann has also been promoted, meaning he will be sticking around as Tom Koracick for longer. 5. There Will Be More Glasses Levi is in it for the long haul. Jake Borelli has been upped to series regular for Season 16. 6. Who Will Teddy Choose? Teddy was in a love triangle between her, Amelia, and Owen at the beginning of Grey’s Anatomy Season 15. By the end, however, she was in one with Tom and Owen. But will Kim stick with Owen after seemingly choosing him at the end of the season? “I think Owen has done a lot of work on himself,” she commented to People on the cliffhanger. “I think they’re in a really great place for this to be an amazing, amazing relationship. Of course, they did have poor Tom there doing the baby crib and eating a sandwich. I was like, ‘Really?’” View Slideshow

Kate Hudson Fitness Erotica of the Day

Kate Hudson is some nasty mom bodied bitch doing a workout in white leggings to try to sell those leggings as she’s a huge shareholder in the fitness company she’s wearing… Who knew Kate Hudson was the object of fitness, or someone who could sell fitness products to the ladies who like her as an actress… I always saw her as some connected bitch, thanks to her mom and dad and stepdad, who never had to really do much to achieve what she’s achieved. She basically just got the parts Goldie was too old for…from friends of Goldie, cuz she’s Goldie.. I also saw her as some broke, Hollywood kid who filled her emptiness of having everything she wanted, including Daddy issues with a baby at a young age, on some teen mom shit. But more importantly, as the DEVIL woman who pushed Owen Wilson…our friend…into Sucide attempts…because she is just that shitty…and apparently so is her “fitness” body…cuz bitch is a drunk.

Khloe Kardashian: Jordyn Woods Banged James Harden Just to Hurt Me!

Last week, reports said that Jordyn Woods was spotted hooking up with James Harden , another basketball-playing ex of Khloe Kardashian. This seemed like a direct swipe at Khloe, but a report claimed that Jordyn bumping into James was pure coincidence. Apparently Khloe isn’t buying that for a second. HollywoodLife reports that Khloe Kardashian knows in her heart that Jordyn’s hookah bar meetup with James was deliberate. ” Khloe   Kardashian  is truly confused as to why  Jordyn   Woods  was hanging  out  with  James,” the insider expresses. ” Khloe  feels  Jordyn  is hanging  out  with  her  exes  deliberately,” the source adds. According to the insider, Jordyn may be doing this simply ” to get a reaction  out  of  her.” ” And,” the source speculates, Jordyn “truly doesn’ t  care about  her  or  her  family’s feelings.” “She does not believe she accidentally ran into him at all,” the insider emphasizes. People coincidentally run into each other all of the time, but Khloe just can’t see this particular meeting happening as a mere twist of fate. “To  Khloe ,” the source continues. “This was not a  coincidence .” It looks — or at least feels — like Jordyn is trying to hurt her. “It’s really disheartening,” the insider expresses. “And she wishes she would stop.” “She honestly thought after Tristan, she would never be seen with a  Kardashian   ex ever again,” the source says. “And,” the insider continues, Khloe “feels this is really a low blow and not cool.” From Khloe’s perspective, Jordyn has already done her enough harm by “ruining her family” (lol), so hooking up with an ex is uncalled for. From Jordyn’s perspective, she’s been quiet and respectful for months without it getting her anywhere. Maybe she was tired of being respectful and wanted to remind the Kardashians that she still exists. “She just doesn’ t  understand why  Jordyn  is doing this, still,” the source complains. “And,” the insider continues, Khloe “wishes she’d find someone not connected to the family to go hang  out with.” To be fair, finding hot eligible basketball players to bang who haven’t been connected to the Kardashians is no easy feat.  “She knows Jordyn  knows what she’s doing,” the source asserts. “But,” the insider continues. “Why she’d go  out  of  her  way to be so hurtful,  Khloe doesn’ t  get.” “Kylie was so upset when she heard Jordyn was out with James Harden,” the source reveals. “So,” the insider continues. “She decided to unfollow Jordyn on Instagram.” “It was the final straw for her,” the source explains. “She still followed Jordyn,” the insider clarifies. “Because she still had just a little bit of hope.” Kylie’s aspiration was “that with time, they could talk and try to rebuild something.” Perhaps Jordyn realized that rekindling a friendship with someone who tossed her out like leftovers wasn’t worth bowing, scraping, and begging for scraps. Maybe Jordyn decided that she didn’t feel like acting like she’s on probation anymore. It’s awkward for anyone to see their ex hook up with someone, especially if it’s someone whom they resent. But maybe Khloe would be less confused by Jordyn’s behavior if she tried seeing things from her perspective. View Slideshow: Keeping Up with the Kardashians Finale: Khloe Goes KABOOM!

Jenelle Evans: Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer are Totally Scissoring!

With her kids back under her roof for the time being, one think that Jenelle Evans would be content to just sit back and enjoy this time with her children. But then one who thinks this would not really know Jenelle Evans very well, would one? The former Teen Mom star is incapable of just remaining silent. She always has to be on the attack, always has to be stirring up some sort of trouble. The latest case in point? What Jenelle just wrote online about Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry, two women with whom she definitely does NOT get along. Scroll down to see what we mean… 1. Leah and Kailyn are Good Friends This is just stating the obvious and it shouldn’t actually mean very much, but the Internet is a wild place. 2. They Went on Vacation to Costa Rica Together This Spring Looks like fun, right?!? 3. But Was It Good, CLEAN Fun? This was the question many observers asked after seeing snapshots of the reality stars together. Such as the one above. 4. Could They Actually Be a Couple? The answer clearly seemed to be no, but try telling that to websites that fueled rumors of a sex-sex relationship . 5. There Was One Reason to Perhaps Believe the Rumor That reason being that Kailyn is bisexual. She’s been in a real relationship with a woman. 6. She Has?!? Yes, for several months. Lowry is pictured here with ex-girlfriend Becky Hayter. View Slideshow

Peter Weber: I’m Misunderstood! I Never Ghosted My Ex!

Peter Weber is garnering a lot of attention at the moment for having f–ked Hannah Brown four times inside of a windmill a few months ago. Yes, FOUR TIMES , Hannah admitted on the latest episode of The Bachelorette. But Weber has also garnered a lot of attention of late for allegedly f–king over his ex-girlfriend in a very cruel manner, just so he could go on this reality show and try to make a name for himself. For those unfamiliar with this story, a quick refresher: Model Calee Lutes told Entertainment Tonight two weeks ago that she was in a serious relationship with Weber for six months, from the midpoint of late year toward the end. She claims the two had been talking about moving in together … when Weber abruptly broke things off around Christmas. “I thought there was another girl, so I looked at his recent followers on Instagram, and noticed that a Bachelorette producer had recently followed him,” she explained to ET. Lutes added at the time that she had no idea Weber had even applied to be on The Bachelorette until she saw his name and photo released in March by ABC. “He absolutely betrayed me,” Lutes continued, saying simply: “He interviewed for a reality dating show while simultaneously planning a future with me. I trusted him entirely and he pulled the rug out from under me.” Weber didn’t address this accusation while speaking to Hannah and Chris Harrison after his elimination on Monday. But he’s finally broken his silence in a talk with People Magazine . “There was a lot of truth to what she said in her story, but there is also a lot of truth that wasn’t mentioned,” Weber now says, shooting down the main charge that’s been leveled at him as follows: “The show had absolutely nothing to do with me ending that relationship.” So… why did it come to an end? Peter actually says he was the one who wanted to be serious with Lutes, y et his efforts were rebuffed. “I was very serious in trying to progress that relationship and move it forward,” he tells People, adding: “And she wasn’t on the same page as me. That being said, I wasn’t going to waste her time or my time. But the casting process and my first interview was months after we broke up.” This is clearly a case of He Said/She Said. We have no idea when the couple split and/or what their status was at the time Weber applied to be on The Bachelorette. With Hannah set to husband tonight, however, and Weber likely not wanting to sully his sort of well-known name, it’s clear Peter doesn’t want to stir up any more controversy. He wants to come across as fair and understanding, concluding to People: “It’s obvious that I hurt someone that I really did care about. That was never my intention. And for that I’m sorry. Breakups suck!”” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: How Will it End? Who Will Hannah Pick?!

Jed Wyatt: Is He Really Working as a STRIPPER to Pay the Bills?!

It’s possible that no contestant in Bachelorette history has fallen from grace as swiftly as Jed Wyatt. Like, we all hated Luke P. from the get-go, but there was a time — not all that long ago — when Jed was a bonafide fan favorite. The soulful crooner with the penchant for grand romantic gestures won over not only Hannah, but millions of viewers, many of whom were likely eager to spend real US dollars to download his music, which could best be described as easy listening for people who find John Mayer a bit hardcore for their taste. But Jed’s time as one of Hannah’s most beloved suitors was very short-lived. The first blow to his reputation came when the world learned that Wyatt had a girlfriend waiting at home during filming. Not a good look when you’re on a show whose only casting requirements are being 1. a dude, and 2. single. And on the first installment of this week’s two-part Bachelorette season finale (Side note: Can someone please start a petition to producers to stop drawing these damn finales out for four hours?) Jed’s family joined the crowd of nay-sayers when he got trounced by Tyler Cameron during the “meet the parents” round. A big part of the problem was that Hannah’s folks don’t believe that a struggling musician has what it takes to give their daughter the lifestyle she’s accustomed to. (Thankfully, Hannah pointed out that it’s 2019, and she’s planning to launch a career of her own.) Jed offered a rather unimpressive resume to Hannah’s dad, citing as his career highlight the jingle he wrote for a dog food commercial. But it’s possible that Jed was selling himself short. In addition to crooning about kibble, Wyatt also pays the bills by gettin’ his Magic Mike on as a member of Nashville’s Music City Male Revue. Yes, because there are like 8 people actually making money in the music industry these days, Jed — like millions of “nursing students” before him — was forced to turn to exotic dancing. Here he is with some colleagues and a fan following a performance from earlier this year: To be fair, the Music City Male Revue doesn’t involve full nudity and is billed as a “PG-13” experience. Still, it’s not hard to see why Jed downplayed this aspect of his career while conversing with Hannah’s father. Of course, we can’t help but wonder if Hannah is aware of Jed’s ab-flaunting past. If you’ve been following our Bachelorette spoilers all season, then you already know who Hannah picks tonight — but Ms. Brown promised a surprise during the live portion of the episode, so it’s really anyone’s guess what will happen. The only thing we know for sure is that it’s gonna be long, and tease-master Chris Harrison is gonna do his best to keep you guessing (and tuned-in) until the very end.
