• Happy 10th Birthday, Facebook!

  Today is Mark Zuckerberg’s social media baby’s 10th birthday! I’m sure he didn’t ever think Faceboook would turn out to be this big.

  Is this, as MTV News dubs it, “an #AmericanHorror love story?” Emma Roberts and Evan Peters reportedly got engaged over the holidays. She has been spotted wearing a pink gold engagement ring.
