This seems fake and made-up and silly and I haven’t seen it verified anywhere, but it also seems kind of totally plausible, so I’m going to go with TRUE. Beyonce and Jay-Z are rumored to have bought a $75k Arabian horse as a gift for Blue Ivy Carter‘s 2nd birthday (which is today!!!). IT IS ONLY BEFITTING AMERICA’S ROYAL BABY.

According to our Beyonce camp SNITCH – America’s FIRST COUPLE bought Blue Ivy what every little girl wants . . . a HORSE!!! The insider explained, “Blue loves animals and expressed interest in having a horse . . . so they bought her one.”
And it’s not just ANY horse – she got an FULL BLOODED ARABIAN – suitable for competing in equestrian. And the price tag for Blue’s pony . . . $75K. And that doesn’t include food, lodging or upkeep.

Let’s all take this moment to watch this fucking incredible sequence from The Black Stallion and pretend that this is what Blue Ivy is doing RIGHT NOW. You’re welcome. [MediaTakeout]

Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario opened up about disordered eating and self-harm.

Bellisario says she “started self-harming” during her junior year of high school. “I would withhold food or withhold going out with my friends, based on how well I did that day in school. Being a teenager is chaotic because you’re kind of coming into your own, but you’re not an adult; you’re fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom. I didn’t know what was right and what was wrong, so I think I created this bizarre system of checks and balances to create order in my world. But it really backfired.”
During her teen years, Bellisario says she felt “imprisoned” by her private pain. “I felt this sadness, and I thought if people really knew what was going on inside me, they wouldn’t want to hang out with me,” she recalls. “So I tried to keep it light and funny.”

Eventually, she says, she got help, but it’s still “an ongoing struggle.” [E!]
