5 of the Hottest People, Places, and Trends Right Now

Fall trends are really heating up as temperatures remain high in most of the U.S. All in all, it's a pretty hot week. Here are the 5 hottest things happening now:

Texas

Sorry Californians, we know it's hot 100 degrees there, but Texas is dealing with blazing wildfires. The disaster has destroyed more than 1,000 since last November and have cost the state $5.2 billion in agricultural losses.

Ryan Gosling dating Eva Mendes

Two of America's hottest movie stars were spotted at Disneyland being affectionate (let's hope those child robots on It's a Small World weren't too scandalized!). We're rooting for this couple, and we hope they treat each other right.

NBA lockout

Basketball doesn't look like it's gonna happen this year. While some players are have signed on with foreign teams, we find Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry's decision to go back to college the most sizzle-worthy alternative. Curry promised his parents that he'd finished his degree at Davidson College one day, and now he's following through.

No makeup

Lady Gaga is gracing the October cover of old person's mag Harper's Bazaar without makeup. Gaga, known for her flashy clothes and makeup, isn't afraid to bare her true self. "Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside," the confident songtress reveals in the cover story.

Loving your new back to school stuff

Most people are still in the honeymoon period with their recent back-to-school purchases. However, if you're already feeling buyers' remorse for those colored pencils or flash notebooks, think about donating your school supplies at any local Staples store.
