Today is...

National Spaghetti Day!

News of the Day:

+ Surprise! Cardi B and Bruno Mars not only brought us a new song to kick off the new year in style, but presented us with a video for it, too. The visual for the new single, which is a remix of Mars' song "Finesse" off his Grammy-nominated album 24K Magic, sees both artists in an In Living Color-inspired visual. It's the perfect gift for all you '90s kids out there. Groove with the duo in their new video, below.

+ Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope and Viola Davis' Annalise Keating will finally meet in a new Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder crossover, aptly titled How to Get Away with Scandal. There's no word on when the specific episode will air, but both shows will return on January 18 at 9 and 10pm, respectively, on ABC. Until then, let these adorable photos of Davis and Washington in character hold you over. 

+ E.l.f. Cosmetics just announced a brand-new pore-minimizing primer mask that will give you an Instagram-ready glow without any filters. Get yours here or at an IRL E.l.f. store for just $2.

+ Taco Bell will soon be adding nacho fries to its menu. For a limited time starting January 25, you can get your hands on fries dusted with habanero seasoning or "loaded" with beef, pico de gallo, sour cream, and nacho cheese. A regular order will start at $1, Supreme will be $2.49, and Bell Grande $3.49. The fries are the chain's first foray into its new $1 menu.
