Lizzie<br />

A psychological thriller based on<br />

the infamous 1892 murders of<br />

the Borden family.<br />

Kylie Jenner becomes the youngest<br />

self-made billionaire ever<br />

H o RoScope<br />

ARieS<br />

(March 21 - April 20) : Simplifying<br />

and reducing waste in your professional<br />

life can be especially helpful to<br />

you with Saturn transiting your solar tenth<br />

house, and today, this task comes naturally.<br />

Self-improvement efforts seem to tie in with<br />

your long-term or career goals at this time.<br />

tAURUS<br />

(April 21 - May 21) : A realistic approach to<br />

your relationships wins favor. The key is holding<br />

modest or regular expectations, since<br />

expecting too much, either of yourself or others, can lead<br />

to ups and downs. This can also be a time for getting a nice<br />

little window into what may have recently been tripping<br />

you up so that you can now make some improvements.<br />

GeMini<br />

(May 22 - June 21) : Simplifying is usually<br />

in order when Saturn is strong as it<br />

is today. You might also discover that<br />

using a bit of strategy rather than throwing too<br />

much energy into an endeavor is the most successful<br />

approach at this time. Today, it can be very satisfying<br />

to make the best of what you have.<br />

In mid-November, Kylie Jenner<br />

marked a milestone moment<br />

with a visit to a strip mall. For<br />

the past three years, her Kylie<br />

Cosmetics had only sold its<br />

makeup online and briefly in<br />

pop up shops. But after signing<br />

an exclusive distribution deal<br />

with Ulta, the beauty retailer,<br />

Kylie Cosmetics was rolling its<br />

$29 lip kits-a matte liquid lipstick<br />

and matching lip liner-into<br />

Ulta's 1,000-plus stores. And<br />

Jenner showed up to the<br />

Richmond Avenue Ulta in<br />

Houston to greet customers,<br />

sign autographs on lip kits and,<br />

of course, pose for selfies with<br />

her fans.<br />

Over the next six weeks, Kylie<br />

Cosmetics sold $54.5 million<br />

worth of products in Ulta,<br />

according to estimates from<br />

Oppenheimer. "I popped up at a<br />

few stores, I did my usual social<br />

media-I did what I usually do,<br />

and it just worked," she says.<br />

Fueled in part by the Ulta<br />

expansion, Kylie Cosmetics' revenue<br />

climbed 9% last year to an<br />

estimated $360 million. With<br />

that kind of growth, and even<br />

using a conservative multiple<br />

from the booming makeup<br />

industry, Forbes estimates<br />

Jenner's company is worth at<br />

least $900 million. She owns all<br />

of it. Add in the cash Jenner has<br />

already pulled from the profitable<br />

business and the 21-yearold<br />

is now a billionaire, with an<br />

estimated fortune of $1 billion.<br />

She's the youngest-ever selfmade<br />

billionaire, reaching a tenfigure<br />

fortune at a younger age<br />

than even Mark Zuckerberg<br />

(who was 23 when he hit that<br />

mark).<br />

"I didn't expect anything. I did<br />

not foresee the future," says<br />

Jenner, who is the youngest billionaire<br />

in the world. "But [the<br />

recognition] feels really good.<br />

That's a nice pat on the back."<br />

"It's the power of social media,"<br />

Jenner says. "I had such a strong<br />

reach before I was able to start<br />

anything." JAMEL TOPPIN<br />

FOR FORBES<br />

The beauty of Kylie Cosmetics,<br />

which Jenner started in 2015, is<br />

its minuscule overhead-and the<br />

outsize profits that go straight<br />

into Jenner's pocket. Her<br />

empire consists of just seven<br />

full-time and five part-time<br />

employees. Marketing is done<br />

mostly through social media,<br />

where Jenner has a massive following.<br />

She announces product<br />

launches, previews new items<br />

and announces the Kylie<br />

Cosmetics shades she's wearing<br />

directly to the 175 million-plus<br />

who follow her across Snapchat,<br />

Instagram, Facebook and<br />

Twitter. "It's the power of social<br />

media," Jenner says. "I had such<br />

a strong reach before I was able<br />

to start anything."<br />

When Kylie Cosmetics<br />

launched in Ulta in 50 states, the<br />

reaction was a real-life version<br />

of the online rush Jenner created<br />

years earlier, when her initial<br />

kits sold out online in less than a<br />

minute. Ulta shoppers went<br />

wild. In some stores inventory<br />

was gone in hours. "It sold out<br />

faster than we planned," admits<br />

Tara Simon, Ulta's senior vice<br />

president of merchandising.<br />

"She did well online, but there's<br />

only so far that that can take<br />

her," says Shannon Coyne, an<br />

equity research analyst at BMO<br />

Capital Markets. "She probably<br />

realized: 'If I want to get big, I've<br />

got to scale, and to do that, I<br />

need a partner.' Ultimately, she<br />

wants to grow her brand, and<br />

she needs this store presence to<br />

do that."<br />

For now, Jenner is focused on<br />

expanding her product range to<br />

include a setting powder, and<br />

bringing eyeshadows, powders<br />

and bronzers to Ulta. "I see<br />

[Kylie Cosmetics] going very<br />

far," Jenner says. "I work really<br />

hard." Whatever happens next,<br />

one thing is certain. Jenner will<br />

share it all on social media,<br />

much to the delight of her tens<br />

of millions of fans.<br />

LiBRA<br />

(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) : Today is good<br />

for productivity and organization<br />

toward these ends, and you're likely<br />

to find it easier than usual to make a few sacrifices<br />

now if it helps you later. You're feeling<br />

a little more grounded and secure, and it suits<br />

you well today!<br />

ScoRpio<br />

(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) : It also helps that both<br />

the Sun and Saturn are harmonizing<br />

with your sign, encouraging an appreciation<br />

for order. Stable and solid energy is with you<br />

for applying yourself to creative pursuits and hobbies<br />

or to productive types of recreation. You see<br />

more clearly the benefits of hard work.<br />

SAGittARiUS<br />

(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) : Small efforts to connect<br />

with family can go a long way<br />

towards strengthening ties, and a moderate<br />

approach can be most appreciated. Slowing down<br />

can improve the quality of your work, and highlights<br />

your appreciation of the simpler things in life. This is<br />

a time for conserving energy and building strength.<br />

The actor who played Jack<br />

Black's guitar-playing prodigy<br />

in "School of Rock" was arrested<br />

and accused of swiping several<br />

expensive guitars in Florida<br />

in the past five weeks, authorities<br />

said Wednesday. Joseph<br />

"Joey" Gaydos Jr., 27, who<br />

played Zack Mooneyham in the<br />

20<strong>03</strong> movie, has open theft and<br />

shoplifting cases in Sarasota,<br />

Venice and North Port, police<br />

and arrest records showed.<br />

On Jan. 31 in North Port,<br />

Gaydos asked a store clerk if he<br />

could play an $800 Les Paul<br />

Epiphone Prophecy guitar - and<br />

he did, before dashing out without<br />

paying, according to a probable<br />

cause affidavit prepared by<br />

Officer Ralph Casselli. The<br />

heavily redacted report didn't<br />

show how police tracked down<br />

Gaydos, before his arrest on<br />

Feb. 25.<br />

Gaydos was inside Troll<br />

Music store on Feb. 7 in Venice,<br />

when he strapped on a guitar<br />

and casually walked the floor<br />

while playing it, according to<br />

security video posted by that<br />

city's police department. "When<br />

Academy Award (R) nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry, "Big Love") stars as<br />

Lizzie Borden, the notorious woman at the heart of one of the most enduring mysteries<br />

in American history. After a lifetime of loneliness, Lizzie finds a kindred spirit<br />

in housemaid Bridget Sullivan (Kristen Stewart) and their secret intimacy sparks<br />

an unthinkable act. Director Craig William Macneill (The Boy (2015), "Channel<br />

Zero: Candle Cove") explores the days leading up to the savage crimes in a dark tale<br />

of repression, exploitation and thwarted dreams.<br />

with stealing guitars<br />

asking for the public's help.<br />

That "video of him allegedly<br />

police spokeswoman Lorraine<br />

Anderson said on Wednesday.<br />

Then in Sarasota, he was arrested<br />

on Feb. 11 for allegedly swiping<br />

a $1,900 guitar from the<br />

Sam Ash Music Store, according<br />

to police. Gaydos had<br />

walked out of the store with the<br />

Walt Disney Studios announced<br />

on Wednesday. The fantasy<br />

adventure is moving its release<br />

date up by seven months. It had<br />

previously been slated to debut<br />

on May 29, 2020.<br />

The new date pits<br />

"Maleficent: Mistress of Evil"<br />

against an untitled film from<br />

paying and got into his car<br />

before employees surrounded<br />

the vehicle and called police,<br />

Joey Gados Jr. was arrested<br />

after allegedly trying to steal guitars<br />

and amplifiers in Florida. "I<br />

need to be arrested. I stole the<br />

guitar," Gaydos allegedly told the<br />

arresting officer. Gaydos has been<br />

charged with two counts of grand<br />

theft and one count of shoplifting,<br />

according to Sarasota and<br />

Manatee County Sheriff's jail<br />

records.<br />

"School of Rock" is the only<br />

acting credited listed for<br />

Gaydos, according to IMDB. In<br />

a where-are-they-now piece<br />

about "School of Rock," the<br />

Hollywood Reporter said this<br />

past October that Gaydos was<br />

concentrating on a music career<br />

in his native Michigan. Gaydos'<br />

father answered the phone at<br />

the family's listed Florida number<br />

on Wednesday and told<br />

NBC News that his son hadn't<br />

yet hired a lawyer and did not<br />

want to discuss the cases.<br />

horror-maker Blumhouse. It<br />

will also have to contend with<br />

the second weekends of "The<br />

Adams Family," the adaptation<br />

of Donna Tartt's "The<br />

Goldfinch," "Zombieland 2,"<br />

and "Gemini Man," a futuristic<br />

thriller that unites Will Smith<br />

and Ang Lee. If it had opened<br />

on its original date in May,<br />

"Maleficent: Mistress of Evil"<br />

would have been facing off<br />

against the sophomore weekends<br />

of "Fast & Furious 9" and<br />

"The Spongebob Movie."<br />

In the film, Angelina Jolie<br />

reprises her role as the villainous<br />

enchantress Maleficent. The<br />

cast also includes Elle Fanning,<br />

Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton,<br />

Juno Temple, and Lesley<br />

Manville, who appeared in the<br />

first installment, as well as franchise<br />

newcomers Michelle<br />

Pfeiffer, Ed Skrein, Harris<br />

The first "Maleficent" was a<br />

box office smash when it<br />

opened in 2014. It grossed<br />

$758.5 million globally on a<br />

$180 million budget.<br />

-VARIETY<br />

cAnceR<br />

(June 22 - July 23) : Patience with<br />

others has strong rewards for you.<br />

It's a good time to build your faith<br />

in a person or relationship, as well as for<br />

showing your value and strength to a special<br />

someone, especially through practical<br />

displays of affection.<br />

Leo<br />

(July 24 - Aug. 23) : Your sense<br />

of tomorrow is strong and dominant,<br />

and working on making<br />

today more secure makes the most sense<br />

now. Look for activities that help anchor<br />

or ground you, as they may be precisely<br />

what you need right now. Feeling useful<br />

serves a need.<br />

ViRGo<br />

(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) : Make a decision,<br />

solve a dilemma, edit a project, or<br />

organize an area of your life. Benefiting<br />

from someone's wisdom or experience can figure<br />

strongly now. The Moon's move into your intimacy<br />

sector also suggests a more serious and considered<br />

approach to the day.<br />

cApRicoRn<br />

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) : Those things that fell<br />

out of view or that were neglected can<br />

now demand your focus. People may still<br />

be looking for your help, but it seems best that you<br />

focus on some personal affairs that need sorting.<br />

Mind you, this is a good time for being taken seriously,<br />

and getting organized comes naturally to you.<br />

AQUARiUS<br />

(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : There are benefits<br />

to looking into ways to improve<br />

your finances, business, or practical<br />

affairs now, and simplifying seems the key to<br />

success and happiness under the influence of<br />

a Sun-Saturn aspect. As you clear the decks,<br />

you discover that you can be more productive<br />

and organized.<br />

piSceS<br />

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : A logical, orderly<br />

approach to what you do yields the<br />

right results. Perhaps most important,<br />

the ability to accept things for what they<br />

are leads to success now. The Moon's transit of<br />

your resources sector is another sign that<br />

you're seeking to feel grounded.<br />

John Cena<br />

posts picture of<br />

Ranveer Singh's<br />

Gully Boy<br />

John Cena continues to confound fans on<br />

Instagram. His latest post is of Ranveer<br />

Singh's Gully Boy. Wrestler-turned-actor<br />

John Cena has posted a picture from the<br />

film Gully Boy on his Instagram. Cena frequently<br />

posts random images on social<br />

media, keeping with his bio, which reads,<br />

"Welcome to my Instagram. These images<br />

will be posted without explanation, for your<br />

interpretation. Enjoy."<br />

The image of Gully Boy seems to be the<br />

cover image for the song Apna Time Ayega,<br />

performed by actor Ranveer Singh in the<br />

film. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy is<br />

based on Mumbai's underground rap scene,<br />

and tells the story of Murad, a young man<br />

with aspirations of making it big in the<br />

world of music. The film was warmly<br />

received by both critics and audiences.<br />

Several fans reacted to the post in confusion,<br />

but also with pride. "Boht hard boht<br />

hard," wrote one person. "John cena is fire,"<br />

wrote another. Cena has previously shared<br />

random images of comedian Kapil Sharma<br />

and singer Daler Mehndi. The actor has previously<br />

quoted Shah Rukh Khan on both<br />

Twitter and Instagram, the most recent<br />

coming earlier this week. He had previously<br />

quoted SRK in July, writing, "Neither power<br />

nor poverty can make your life more magical<br />

or less torturous." Shah Rukh responded<br />

to Cena and wrote, "Thanks my friend for<br />

spreading the goodness. It's important to<br />

inspire so many kids who look up to u as<br />

their hero."<br />

In December, Cena had written that he<br />

felt fortunate to have stumbled upon one of<br />

Shah Rukh's speeches online. "Your perspective<br />

on life is one I strive to attain," he<br />

had written. "I cannot tell you how fortunate<br />

I am to have so many Indian fans. Every<br />

day, I go on to my social media accounts,<br />

and I see so many fans from India wanting<br />

to talk to me," Cena, who visited India in<br />

2005 as part of the WWE, had told<br />

Hindustan Times.<br />

Cena most recently appeared in the<br />

Transformers spin-off, Bumblebee. He has<br />

also signed on to a new Netflix film, to be<br />

directed by Jason Bateman. According to<br />

Variety, the film revolves around a family<br />

stuck in an old abandoned movie studio<br />

where the sets come to life.<br />
