John Mayer and Katy Perry still strong despite rumors from London

By Kat Giantis

We’ve long suspected that John Mayer walks around in a permanent cloud of unsavoriness scented with a hint of Axe body spray, not unlike the dirt haze that hangs over Pig Pen from “The Peanuts.” So, it’s not too surprising that anyone who gets too close to the Katy Perry-dating crooner might end up covered in that airborne schmutz, which is apparently what has happened to “Girls” star Allison Williams.

Last Friday, the London Daily Mail spied the 25-year-old actress (and daughter of newsman Brian Williams) at a New York shindig with Mayer, 35, who just happens to be buddies with her boyfriend of two years, CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen.

Arianna Huffington’s Smith College Commencement Speech On ‘Redefining Success: The Third Metric’

Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, delivered the commencement address at Smith College Sunday, where she dared the graduates of the all-female college to change how they define success.

Success has largely been determined by money and power, Huffington argued, but we need a third metric. That should include be one based on “well-being, wisdom, our ability to wonder, and to give back,” she said.

In her speech at Smith in Northampton, Mass., Huffington told graduates not to settle just for breaking through glass ceilings, but to change the system by “going to the root of what’s wrong.”

“Don’t buy society’s definition of success,” she said. “Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it’s not working for men, it’s not working for polar bears, it’s not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, diabetes, heart disease, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.”

Similar to a look I created for Bergdorf Goodman, this rising star nail will add a metallic pop that makes your nails look just like a little piece of jewelry. To create the star, you will need a nail art polish with a striper brush in the metallic of your choice. Paint a point coming out diagonally from the corner of your cuticle. Then draw a perpendicular line from bottom of your nail to the other side. Fill in the outlines and you’ve made a rising star!
