Photographer Ty Bello was snapping photos of British musician Tinie Tempah in Nigeria recently when a woman selling bread happened to walk into her shot.

Struck by the woman's beauty, Bello took to Instagram after the shoot in an attempt to find out more about her. "I'm happy to help her build a portfolio if she's interested," she typed to her followers, adding, "I'll find a way to track her down somehow."

The woman was later identified as Olajumoke Orisaguna, a local bread-seller and mother, BuzzFeed first reported. 

After Orisaguna was identified, Bello was able to get in contact and photograph her for the cover of This Day Style.

The story quickly went viral around the globe. 

"When we made the images, I hoped that people would connect with her story, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to be on this massive scale," Bello told The Huffington Post. "This is crazy-beautiful."  

She shared the images from the magazine spread on Instagram, along with more about Orisaguna's life. 

A hair stylist from Ire in Osun state but not making enough profit between she and her husband, a sliding door installer in from same village, to care for their two young children. At the invitation of a distant relative who knew someone operating a bakery, she relocated [to] Lagos with her 14 month old daughter to give bread hawking a try, leaving her husband and older 5 year old behind. As I listened to her I [wondered] if the beauty I had seen on my screen as I edited my image was a fluke [...] well until she smiled. I realized that I was wrong. I had in fact underestimated the beauty of this 27 year old woman. As always, it was her eyes and of course her perfectly chiseled features that jumped out at you when she chuckled. This lady belonged in front of my camera.

Orisaguna is excited to get her career started as a model, Bello said. 

"Olajumoke is elated and trying to take it all in," she told HuffPost. "Today she just concluded on a two-day shoot with CNN international. She's really inspired so many people out here in Nigeria and apparently across the globe. It's all so surreal."

Leonardo DiCaprio is the current frontrunner for the Oscar for Best Actor, but that doesn't necessarily mean he turned in the year's best performance. Just ask New York Times chief film critic A.O. Scott.

During a Wednesday conversation about his new book Better Living Through Criticism, Scott told HuffPost Live's Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani that while he doesn't think DiCaprio's work in "The Revenant" is bad, it does strike him as "an almost parodically Oscar-soliciting performance," and therefore perhaps not worth the Academy Award fanfare.

Shanghai-based British photographer Graham Fink considers demolition sites to be places where magic happens. He believes the rubble is where the past meets the future, and where China's graffiti artists can let their creativity bloom.

Fink has traveled around Shanghai since July 2011 to photograph buildings that were torn down to make way for modern, functional structures like office buildings and skyscrapers. His "Ballads of Shanghai" photo project is currently on display at the Riflemaker Gallery in London, in an exhibit that will run until Saturday.

Shanghai is one of the world's largest financial hubs and home to over 24 million residents, but it started with humble beginnings. Located on China's east coast, it was once a small fishing village. The words "shanghai" literally mean "on the water" in Chinese.

The city became an international port to foreign traders as part of the 1842 Treaty of Nanjing between China and Britain. Foreign powers, including France, Britain and America, began flooding into Shanghai. They took control over "concessions," or various parts of the city, to which they brought Western laws, art, architecture and culture. This transformed Shanghai into an international city with the nickname "Paris of the East."

But after Mao Zedong's Communist Party took over China in 1949, the government turned Shanghai into a chiefly industrial zone, and many of the city's foreigners left. What used to be an exciting international metropolis became culturally insular to the outside world.

Life under Mao's communism stifled Chinese creativity, Fink said. Only with the country's gradual reopening to the West through social media and travel have Chinese people begun reawakening their artistic natures, as can be demonstrated by the various graffiti sprinkled around the city, the photographer added. 

Why did you feel it was important to document Shanghai's urbanization?

There's a lot of building going on in Shanghai. They're knocking down houses and building office blocks, super structures, skyscrapers, etc. I see these demolition sites as "exchange sites," where they're exchanging the past for the future.

To a lot of Chinese people, the rubble and destruction may come off as a negative thing, but I see a lot of beauty in it. Ever since I was a kid, I feel very happy when I'm amongst rubble, things that have been torn down and derelict buildings and rubbish dumps. 

I call Shanghai a Darwinian metropolis. It just keeps evolving, keeps evolving, keeps evolving.

The sites are constantly changing, constantly evolving. I call Shanghai a Darwinian metropolis. It just keeps evolving, keeps evolving, keeps evolving. Sometimes, when I go back to a site I visited weeks before, graffiti artists have moved in. A week later, the government has painted over the graffiti with a gray roller. Then a few weeks later, more graffiti will appear; then a few weeks later, they've started pulling down the building and constructing a new one. 

What has the photo project taught you about China's changing attitudes toward art, architecture and space?

I've lived in Shanghai for four and a half years, and I've never seen progress happen so fast anywhere else. There's a real can-do attitude in China. After the Cultural Revolution, a lot of the creativity was buried, and today, many Chinese artists are now looking into their roots to find their real DNA, find out what they really stand for.

There's a big desire to learn and a lot of Chinese want to do great work. They look and they listen. There is a tremendous willingness. I find Chinese people very humble.

I've never seen progress happen so fast anywhere else I've been. There's a real can-do attitude in China.

What drew you to photographing abandoned places, where people mostly appear as the subjects of the graffiti art painted on demolished walls?

It's kind of like discovering things. A lot of the buildings being constructed in Shanghai now are great structures with glass and steel, and they're all very functional. But to me, they're not particularly interesting. I've always liked stuff that is a bit more rough around the edges, that has a sort of grit behind behind the glamor. 

There's this picture of Mao Zedong in the wall that's flaking off. When someone painted that image, it would have been all perfect, but I like the idea that it's a little destroyed, it's a bit more decayed.

The sun came out right while I was shooting that picture, so you've got three parts to that picture. On the right-hand side, you have a cage, which could represent the Cultural Revolution and creativity being caged. On the left-hand side, you've got a ray of sunshine, which is like the future.

Is there a photo that is particularly poignant to you?

There's one where there's a knocked-through window, and behind you see all of the rubble and destruction of what has been knocked down. (The photograph, above, is named "You've Been Framed.") On the left-hand side, through the window frame, you can see, if you look really carefully, a woman in a pink jacket putting up her washing.

It's almost as if she's clinging on. Everything around her is being knocked down, people have moved out, but she is a fighter. She's determined, she's got to stay there, she's getting on with her life. She must be affected by this kind of stuff, but she's a fighter. There's something I find very beautiful about that.

It's like seeing a plant that grows through a piece of concrete. A plant is a very delicate thing, but strong enough to grow through concrete, and I think it's real determination with these people -- they're going to fight. 

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

It was announced this week that screenwriter Aaron Sorkin -- "The West Wing," "The Newsroom," "The Network" and "Steve Jobs" -- will write a Broadway adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harper Lee novel "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Seems like quite an odd pairing, given the slow pacing of the book in contrast to Sorkin's proclivity for rapid-fire dialogue and busy, quick-moving scene work.

But now your interest is piqued and you're wondering what that would be like, right? Well, we've written obtained the scripted "cold opener" for Aaron Sorkin's "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Broadway.

Photographer Mikael Theimer is a self-proclaimed romantic, the kind of guy who falls in love at first sight. 

Theimer, who is originally from Paris but now lives in Montreal, spends his time shooting love-struck people in public for his ongoing photo series, aptly titled "Street Love."

"Whenever I'm out and see a couple kissing or hugging, I'll try and snap a picture," he told The Huffington Post. 

"I just like seeing people in love, I find that beautiful and pure," he continued. "For a moment, nothing around them matters. I like to focus on the good within the human race. The more you see of it, the more you want to be a part it."

With the exception of a staged photo in front of Café de la Butte in Paris, below, all of the images are "authentic" street photography, Theimer said. In other words, they're candid shots taken in public places without the subjects' knowledge. On occasion, Theimer will approach the couple afterward to ask if they'd like a copy of the photo. 

The photos were shot both on the streets of Montreal and Paris. His favorite image from the series, below, was taken just one week after the November 13 terrorist attacks on Paris at 3 a.m.

"It symbolizes the fact that Paris remains the city of love, even so soon after such terrible events," the photographer explained.

During his Wednesday night appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Ryan Reynolds shared some personal details about the birth of his daughter James and his experience with fatherhood so far.

While his wife Blake Lively was in labor, the actor chose to play "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, he said. Lively, it seems, did not approve of his choice of music.

"It was like steak knives came out of her eyes," Reynolds recalled, adding that he must've caught her at a bad moment because she was generally calm and even "making jokes" throughout her labor.

During the interview, Reynolds also offered some post-birth advice for dad-to-be Seth Meyers. "Just do the dirty work, man, he said. "You gotta do the diapers. You gotta do the middle of the night thing... A human being will exit your wife, so she's done enough. Just change the diapers and do all that stuff."

The simplest way to explain the value of books, as I put it to the high school freshman I once mentored, is that they let you peek inside other people's heads. A good book is a stethoscope for emotions, motivations and personal histories. It generates empathy for characters you'd otherwise judge.

Which is why some novels -- especially those loaded with interior monologues, winding and multitudinous -- make for really bad TV. 

This isn’t to say that TV, especially in its current Golden Age, can’t capture nuance. Satires like Inherent Vice, social novels like War and Peace, and gothic horror stories like The Shining all lend themselves to enjoyable on-screen treatments. These books make for successful shows and movies because they’re dialogue-driven and very visual -- we don’t lose anything by nixing the narrator’s unique perspective.

Straightforward, colloquial narration can do well on screen too, as we saw last year with Room, and as we continue to see with twee, cheeky voiceovers in Wes Anderson flicks and slapstick Westerns. These narrators describe surreal events to viewers, gracing absurdities with a touch of humor. Their commentary ensures that the meaning behind the story doesn’t get lost in translation.

This is because on-screen nuance is usually found in things that can be seen or articulated, whereas slipperier subjects -- the passing of time, the tug of nostalgia we feel for listless teenage summers past, the love-hate cocktail we share with our closest friends -- are usually rendered more successfully on pages that can be savored, and paragraphs that can be read and reread.

By this measure, Elena Ferrante’s wildly popular Neapolitan novels might be the worst possible candidates for thoughtful TV adaptation -- and yet, that hasn’t stopped producers from trying.

On Thursday, The Guardian reported that Italian production company Wildside is embarking on a four-season endeavor with Fandango to bring the stories -- which center on the lifespan of a decades-long relationship between two women in crime-torn Naples -- to viewers in Italy and beyond.

We don’t know much about the series, but we do know that Fandango will likely partner with international distributors to bring the very Italian story (much of the tension results in the narrator’s warring desires to speak in dialect or “proper” Italian, for example) to audiences in other countries. Hopefully, this choice doesn’t allow the series to fall into the unfortunate tendency American filmmakers have to fetishize the feistiness of Italian women, as Ferrante’s writing did so much to undo these stereotypes.

Another trope the series will hopefully avoid: warping Ferrante’s empathetic “villains,” reluctantly violent men who assert their power in hateful, discriminatory ways, into stock mafia characters. The Guardian discusses this possibility in its coverage of the news, writing, “While mafia shows are much more common for the small screen, the story of a female friendship, especially one as intimately rendered as the one central to Ferrante’s novels, is a bit of an oddity.”

If the show does choose to focus on the central friendship that serves as the series’ glowing life force, it’s hard to imagine that any amount of narration will do it justice. Much of the Neapolitan novels’ strength lies in its expert pacing; to reflect on the stories is like reflecting on actual, experienced memories. So, on the page, Elena and Lila’s phases of closeness and estrangement don’t come off as situational grudges, but complicated, decades-long hang-ups. While portraying that sort of nuance on screen isn’t impossible, it’d be difficult to pull off. Still, this fan anxiously awaits further news.

This time last year, all Katharine Emmer wanted was for someone to see her movie. Now she needs a specific someone to see it: Common.

Emmer wrote a role for the "Selma" actor in her next film, which she describes as "Requiem for a Dream" meets "Half Nelson" meets "Blue Valentine." But first, she's begun to ride out the release of her debut feature, the dramedy "Life in Color," one year after it premiered at the South by Southwest film festival. If everything continues to go well, Emmer's newest accomplishment could help catch the attention of her ideal leading man. 

Envisioning a project that features someone of Common's stature would have been a fantasy until recently. Emmer, 32, financed most of "Life in Color" with income from nannying gigs. Initially an aspiring actress, Emmer also wrote and co-starred in the film, shot it in her clients' homes to save money and edited it single-handedly after poaching an employee from the Apple store to teach her Final Cut Pro. (The movie is about two depressed loners who find companionship. Emmer plays one, and Josh McDermitt, otherwise known as Dr. Eugene Porter on "The Walking Dead," portrays the other.)

After the South by Southwest premiere last March, Emmer courted independent studios in hopes of snagging a theatrical release. It wasn't easy. A24, the trendy powerhouse that put out "Spring Breakers," "Ex Machina" and "Room," spent 45 minutes telling her the film was great, ultimately saying it didn't "make sense" for that year's slate. Others, like the Weinstein Company and Gravitas Ventures, had similar responses. She also quickly learned that major studios' art-house divisions stipulated that, due to exhibition costs, she wouldn't see profits until the movie secured $10,000 at the box office. They would also take 25 percent of all earnings. 

It was then that Emmer decided it was more important to recoup her expenses  and just get the film out there -- anywhere -- than to fight for theatrical play. So she reached out to Joe Swanberg, who started his career in the mid-2000s by casting friends in low-budget mumblecore features and now directs titles starring Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick and Jake Johnson, among others. Swanberg told her it would take a lot of work to self-distribute, partly because she'd need to manage the publicity herself too.

Armed with Swanberg's advice, as well as that of others whose movies premiered at South by Southwest, Emmer knew she needed to release "Life in Color" via digital platforms. Amazon and Netflix have begun snatching up exclusive titles out of the Sundance Film Festival at hefty rates (one of this year's breakouts, "Manchester by the Sea," went for $10 million), but Emmer didn't go to those companies directly. Instead, she hired what's called an aggregator, an enterprise that acts as liaison between filmmaker and distribution service. She paid about $1,500 in total for the aggregator, which included mandatory fees for closed captioning and other deliverables. Amazon and iTunes accepted "Life in Color" with sizable caveats: Amazon keeps 50 percent of its profits, while iTunes keeps 30 percent. Emmer will receive everything else. (The movie was made available for purchase on Thursday, and it will be rentable on Feb. 25.)

She'll also know exactly how many people have streamed "Life in Color" thanks to a dashboard that displays weekly stats. Imagine being a first-time filmmaker just hoping to recover your movie's budget (she estimates $20,000 worth of receipts stuffed into a three-ring binder) and gain exposure so Common will read your next script, and all the while you're monitoring a console that ostensibly declares your fate. 

"I’m nervous about it because it’s not conventional, but the market is being so oversaturated right now with material," Emmer said of releasing the movie amid today's ever-booming onslaught of entertainment. "Because it’s cheaper to make content, I’m really curious if this is the new direction of getting films out there because less people are going to the theater."

Oh, and then there's another dog to tackle. In a few months, after the movie has found its footing on iTunes and Amazon, Emmer's aggregator will pitch "Life in Color" to Netflix. It won't be an exclusive, like "Beasts of No Nation" was last year; instead, it would be a regular addition to Netflix's streaming library. She's hoping its two stars with name recognition -- Josh McDermitt and Jim O'Heir, who played Jerry on "Parks and Recreation" -- will bolster the site's interest. If Netflix accepts, Emmer has no clue how much money she'll see from the deal.  

Throughout the "Life in Color" process, Emmer continued to nanny, taking five weeks off to shoot the film. She now supports herself with capital earned from starring in commercials. So, no, having your movie on iTunes doesn't guarantee instant fame. But it does prove, in Emmer's eyes, that even an inexperienced filmmaker who read a book on how to write a screenplay in 10 days can find her way into the business.

"I had so many people saying you can't make a movie for less than $20,000 and how that's ridiculous, and you can't make a movie unless you have X amount of crew," Emmer said. "I was really discouraged, having not done it before and having not gone to film school. ... With the help of my little tiny team, who all were in it and believed in the message of the film, we did it. Of course, the goal for the next one is to have a bigger budget and bigger star power behind it so that it can be one of those ones that's a story out of a Sundance or a South by Southwest that gets picked up for a lot of money."

A hospital is not just a laboratory. A patient is not simply a diagnosis. And medicine is often more than a science. 

"We are pretending to be accurate scientists but we’re really social scientists," Alexandra Charrow, a resident in internal medicine and dermatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston told The Huffington Post. "We're dealing with human beings. The way we collaborate will patients will not be based on their numbers, it will be based on their non-objective data."

Charrow recognizes the importance of exploring subjective modes of thinking in her medical practice and evolution. And while art may not seem like the most essential aspect of a medical curriculum, amidst a stream of facts, diagrams, equations and machines, its value is critical. Standing before a carved sarcophagus from 350 B.C. can communicate the unspeakable magnitude of death and dying more than a textbook ever could.

As part of their humanistic curriculum, residents at Brigham and Women’s Hospital are mandated to attend what are called Art and Medicine workshops at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, located less than a mile away. The program of study is designed to help doctors treat their patients as people, not just symptoms. 

"We focus on the human side of being a doctor," Brooke DiGiovanni Evans, the MFA’s head of gallery learning, told HuffPost. Using artwork as a jumping off point, the residents converge to discuss the challenges of both treating patients and coping with the demanding lifestyle of a medical practitioner. 

Often the discussion will begin with a close reading of a work of contemporary art coupled with a single question: how does this work of art relate to your current life situation? In the neutral environment of the museum, doctors can discuss their pressures, fears, and hopes, exposing vulnerabilities that remain concealed during school and work hours. 

"When people realize other doctors are feeling the same thing, they're not as alone," Evans said. "Often they haven’t had a chance to voice those thoughts yet."

The workshop also contains a creative activity, often inviting the class to work together as a large group to create an image. This exercise emphasizes the importance of teamwork, with each doctor-turned-artist adding their own perspective and skill set to yield the final outcome.

This year, Evans has also added sculpture to the syllabus. For this exercise, everyone gets a small piece of clay and uses the it to tell a story about how they're feeling about their residency at this very moment. "One woman created a very long, stretched out piece of clay that was maybe six feet long, saying she felt incredibly stretched thin," Evans said.

Although the MFA Gallery Learning team are not art therapists, there is something undoubtedly therapeutic about the program and its mission. Just the physical act of slowing down, feeling clay morph and yield in your grasp, is a vital recess from the accelerated pace of life within hospital doors. For two hours at a time, the residents are not rushing, not stressed, not checking their phones. They're engaged with the feel and weight of a small piece of clay, answering to no one but a small voice inside.

"We try to bring residents back to the human side of being a doctor," Evans said. "Giving them ways to connect with their patients, have empathy and understanding for what they’re going through. It reminds them that slowing down can really help, and that the skills they bring as a doctor to that. They’re opportunities to be clear with their patients, the opportunity to connect with colleagues."

The Museum of Fine Arts also works with dermatology students from Harvard Medical School, though the program goals are distinct. With these workshops, the focus is on building observation skills that can be translated directly into dermatological diagnoses.

"A lot of the things you notice in a work of art -- the color, line, texture, shape, is similar to what a dermatologist is looking for in skin conditions," Evans said. "Using the artwork as a way to talk about what you are seeing and to building a case for what you are noticing as well. You can say you are seeing this or that in a painting, but you need to be able to explain why. That really helps doctors work on their evidence building skills and descriptive language." 

Both dermatologists and medical practitioner residents work with artwork from the MFA's collection. In one room full of ancient Buddhist imagery, the conversation touches on the importance of self care and meditation. In a contemporary gallery, a certain image can have unexpected ramifications. 

For example, Charrow mentioned a certain series of photographs by Nicholas Nixon, in which he photographed four sisters every year for 40 years. When the photos made the rounds on the Internet in 2014, the overwhelming reaction was one of nostalgia and the magic of sisterhood. For Charrow, however, the image illuminated the often tangled web of family dynamics, a particularly difficult aspect of her work. 

"It was a really haunting set of images," she said, "and hard to distinguish the relationships between the people. As a doctor, you are seeing a family in this bizarre time slice. You have a window into these weird interactions you normally would not have. Sometimes the decisions they make seem so foreign. Like in the photos, as a doctor you can feel very clueless to the dynamics of the family in some situations."

Overall, Evans hopes the workshops provide medical residents a safe space to process the intensity of their daily experiences, thus better enabling them to continue treating patients with not only accuracy but compassion and strength.

Another goal is presenting the museum as a space of refuge, an available resource to meditate, unwind and think.

From a spiraling wedding chapel in Japan to a cattle station in Australia to a health center in Rwanda, architecture around the world is innovating some of the most unlikely of spaces. We're used to hearing about skyscrapers needling the heavens at ever-frightening heights, but sometimes, it's the designs looming closer to the horizon that are the real feats of imagination.

Arch Daily, a trusted purveyor of architecture news, recently announced the winners of its 2016 Building of Year Awards. The honorees demonstrate both the beauty and service design drums up across the globe, chosen by a jury comprised of 55,000 of Arch Daily's readers. They whittled down a total of 3,000 projects to just 14 winners, showcasing the best architecture of 2016 so far -- sometimes in small packages.

Check out the buildings of the year below. While these imaginings veer on the compact side, they emphasize how important sustainability and natural aesthetics are to their designers.

Sweetie pie. Honey. Babydoll. Pumpkin. What could be more normal, more unremarkable than the common endearments English-speaking Americans use to address their romantic counterparts?

That is, they seem relatively normal, since we're so used to them. But shift the lens a bit, and suddenly they're positively bizarre. What is a sweetie pie? Why would you address your beloved as a bulbous orange squash? (And that's not even getting into the idiosyncratic pet names that many people bestow upon their partners: A -- um -- friend of mine sometimes calls her fiancé "sweatpants boy.")

It's not typical, in American English, to refer to your bae as "fatty," or "crumb of gold," but in Spanish and Finnish, respectively, it wouldn't be out of the normal to do just that. These romantic idioms from other languages can sound ridiculous when translated literally, but that's part of the fun -- just like "sweet cheeks" or "love muffin," their actual meaning has little to do with the exact denotations of the words.

Why do we so often call our loves "my cabbage" (French) or "little fish" (Russian) instead of simply their given names, or even the more literal honorifics like "wife," "boyfriend," or "beloved"?

Last year, several sex and relationships experts spoke to Bustle about the pet-name phenomenon, which tends to spring up in the context of a whole universe of "relationship speak" -- shorthands and phrases reminiscent of baby talk exclusively used between a couple. Using silly names for each other, experts theorize, signals that a couple feels safe and cared for in each other's company, able to become vulnerable and show their inner childlike side. Even less ridiculous pet names, like the more established "sweetie" or "babe," connote a special level of intimacy; everyone else uses a person's given name, but only their partner would be allowed to refer to them as "babe." 

These warm and snuggly forces may be at work reinforcing relationships, too; one often-cited study from 1993 found that married couples who used pet names more reported higher satisfaction with their marriages. Carol J. Bruess, who led the original study, told Scientific American last year that she believed these silly names and other relationship speak allowed couples to keep the dynamic in their marriages sweet and fun, potentially alleviating tense situations when they crop up.

Most couples, including those that don't last, have their own idiosyncratic pet names that no one else would understand, so trying to catalog all the ways humans have come up with to say "my darling" would be a futile task. Looking at the more common ways people express their affection in different languages from around the world, however, is a beautiful reminder of the joyfully playful nature of romance, even for the most grown-up adults out there.

We asked our editorial staff from around the world to share their favorite terms of endearment, and we were buried beneath a wave of devastatingly cute pet names.

The moment a parent meets his or her new baby can only be described as full of emotions. 

Touched by the profundity of that time in a person's life, Dutch birth photographer Marry Fermont put together a series of beautiful images called "The First Moments." The powerful photos depict the first time moms and dads in the Netherlands met their newborn babies. 

Fermont, who has photgraphed 105 births in her career so far, told The Huffington Post, "There is no moment more special in life than the moment you see your baby for the first time. No matter how your delivery went." 

“There are so many emotions in this moment: joy, relief, amazement, pride, love, euphoria, contentment, and so many different reactions: smiles and tears," she added in her blog post about the series. "Moments of silence and moments of extreme joy. Time after time after time, this is a magical moment, a moment in which you shed a tear yourself.”

Keep scrolling and visit Fermont's website and Facebook page to see her stunning "First Moments" photos.

My name is Matthew Jacobs, and I'm a writer who pretended to be a competent broadcast interviewer for approximately four minutes last weekend. 

It was for a good cause: Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell. Together! 

I sat down with the pair at the television junket for "Zoolander 2," in which Ferrell reprises his role as Mugatu and a camouflaged Wiig joins in as his partner in evil. With limited time, I fired off a series of fun questions inspired by the new movie. You don't need to be aware of the (rather wild) plot to follow along, though you should know that dead pop stars and bohemian sex parties are part of the ride. Prepare to hear Ferrell's foolproof method for conquering the Syrian crisis.

There's no shortage of female curators making their mark on the art world.

Here's a small sample of just a few women to keep your eye on this year, as we look forward to exhibitions such as "Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible" at the new Met Breuer in New York, the Beatriz Santiago Muñoz show at the New Museum, "Women of Abstract Expressionism" at the Denver Art Museum, and more.

1. Kelly Baum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

When Baum joined the Metropolitan Musem of Art as curator of postwar and contemporary art in the museum's department of modern and contemporary art in June 2015, her timing couldn't have been better.

Baum has become a key player as the museum prepares to unveil the new Met Breuer space (aka, the old Whitney Museum), curating "Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible" withher predecessor, Nicholas Cullinan, and the Met's European painting curator, Andrea Bayer. Baum comes to New York from Princeton University Art Museum, where she was the curator of modern and contemporary art.

2. Johanna Burton, New Museum, New York

Before joining the New Museum as director and curator of education and public engagement in January 2013, Burton was the graduate program director at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.

She organized the museum's current Cheryl Donegan exhibition, the first solo museum show for the artist, as well as the upcoming Beatriz Santiago Muñoz show.

3. Kalia Brooks, independent curator, New York 

Formerly the exhibitions director at Brooklyn's Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, Brooks teamed up with New York's Gracie Mansion Conservancy in 2015 to curate a historically-minded art exhibition at the mayor's home. Currently, she is co-curating the 2016 edition of Jamaica Flux, a public art project from the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning that will bring site-specific work from 19 artists and collectives to unconventional locations along Jamaica Avenue in Queens.

Brooks is also collaborating with Hank Willis Thomas on the Philly Block Project, a year-long community-based photo project at the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.

4. Gwen Chanzit, Denver Art Museum 

As the Denver Art Museum's curator of modern art, Chanzit is well-versed in the Abstract Expressionists. Her upcoming offering, "Women of Abstract Expressionism," examines the movement from a new point of view, casting the spotlight on the unsung female artists who were part of it, as well as such big names as Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, and Helen Frankenthaler.

5. Federica Chiocchetti, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London

As a woman wearing many hats, Chiocchetti serves as a photography critic and editor, as well as the founder and director of Photocaptionist, an online platform exploring the overlap of photography and literature.

Chiocchetti curated Nottingham Castle's recent exhibition "PH Emerson: Presented By the Author," which included a lost print by the British writer and photographer that she discovered in the castle archives, as part of the V&A's Curatorial Fellowship Program.

6. Lauren Cornell, New Museum, New York

After co-curating the museum's well-received 2015 Triennial with artist Ryan Trecartin, Cornell was brought on board full-time in June 2015 as curator and associate director of technology initiatives. She was previously the executive director of Rhizome, and arts organization for Internet art.

Cornell's latest initiative is Open Score, and annual art and technology conference co-presented by the museum and Rhizome, which held its first sold-out session in January.

7. Astrid de Maismont, Gertrude and ArtList, New York

Proving that the role of curator is constantly in flux, de Maismont curates Gertrude Stein-inspired "salons," which act as sophisticated events which blur the lines between social and educational spheres.

The salon series takes its name from writer, art collector, and social connector Gertrude Stein. De Maismont's upcoming salons include an evening enjoying Alejandro Guijarro's large format photography at a secret location in Tribeca.

8. Amanda Hunt, Studio Museum in Harlem

Hunt joined the Studio Museum as its assistant curator in summer 2014, after a three-year stint on the West Coast as curator of Los Angeles's LAXART.

Hunt curated the museum's current exhibition, "A Constellation," on view through March 6, which pairs the work of eight important 20th-century artists of African descent with that of 18 emerging artists.

9. Clara M. Kim, the Tate Modern, London

After curating Frieze's Spotlight section at the London fair's October edition, Kim, the senior curator at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, was chosen by the Tate Modern to be their new senior curator for international art.

In her new role, Kim will focus on art from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

10. Koyo Kouoh, RAW Material Company, Dakar

The founding artistic director of Dakar's RAW Material Company, Kouoh is currently curating the upcoming EVA International, the 37th edition of Ireland's Biennial.

11. Christine Macel, Centre Pompidou, Paris

Macel joined the Pompidou as its chief curator in 2000, and was responsible for founding the museum's department of contemporary art.

This past month, she was appointed chief curator of the next Venice Biennale, which will open in May 2017.

12. Piper Marshall, Mary Boone Gallery, New York

After running the Three's Company gallery with current ICA Miami curator Alex Gartenfeld out of his New York apartment, Marshall spent six years at the Swiss Institute before being tapped by Boone in 2014 to curate monographic exhibitions.

Marshall's partnership with the gallery has been so fruitful that the initial six-show term of her engagement with the gallery has been extended. By the end of the season, Marshall will have organized no less than 12 shows for Boone, including the upcoming "You the Better," featuring a 1983 film by Ericka Beckman, and a summer group show featuring four female artists.

13. Ceci Moss, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco

After serving as the senior editor for New York's art and technology nonprofit Rhizome, Moss is now the assistant visual arts curator at the YBCA.

Currently, her exhibition "Metahaven: The Sprawl," from Amsterdam-based design studioMetahaven, explores the dissemination of propaganda in the social media age. Next on tap, Moss has a Samara Golden show opening in March.

14. Selene Preciado, the Getty Foundation, Los Angeles

In addition to her work as a program assistant at the Getty Foundation, Preciado also works as an independent curator.

15. Lauren Ross, Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Contemporary Art, Richmond, Virginia

Big things are coming to Richmond with the construction of the Virginia's ICA, and Ross, as the inaugural curator, stands at the ready.

When she was the curator of modern and contemporary art at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ross organized "Nir Evron: Projected Claims," the first museum exhibition for the Israeli artist. The show, which debuted at the Philbrook in 2015, just completed its run at the ICA, in the museum's temporary on-campus gallery space.

16. Jennifer Scanlan, Oklahoma Contemporary, Oklahoma City

Along with co-curator Ezra Shales, Scanlan brought much-needed attention to postwar female artists working with alternative materials in the exhibition "Pathmakers: Women in Art, Craft, and Design, Midcentury and Today," currently on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts following a successful run at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.

After five years as an independent curator, Scanlan recently accepted the post of curatorial and exhibitions director at the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City.

It could be described as the most expensive basement party ever, and it included Anna Wintour, A$AP Rocky passing around blunts, the entire Kardashian family, Lamar Odom's debut appearance after his hospitalization, Naomi Campbell and an exclusive Adidas collection. Yes, we're talking about Yeezy Season 3 and we were there to watch it all go down -- standing right behind Kanye West. 

On Thursday, West debuted his eighth studio album, “The Life of Pablo," before a frenetic crowd at Madison Square Garden and 20 million viewers watching a live stream. 

Say what you want about West, but when he releases music, he has our undivided attention. The long-awaited debut of "TLOP" doubled as the launch of West's third collaboration with Adidas, making for a mind-blowing marriage of music, fashion and celebrity.

Kanye was a DJ/God who guided us through the journey that was Yeezy Season 3:

Watching Kanye slip an aux cord into a laptop and play tunes from what he touted as the "greatest album of all time," is definitely a surreal experience to say the least. Equally surreal is watching Kylie Jenner's boyfriend Tyga subtly bop his head to the music while smoking one of the many blunts that was passed around. And only at YS3 would one overhear a harried MSG employee shout, "Lil' Kim needs napkins or tissues ... any kind!" 

All of this is fitting since fame and celebrity were a major theme throughout the event and West's newest album, which includes a track titled "Famous." Despite all this, the show itself managed to feel extremely personal. Many of the the close to 1,200 models even shed tears as they stood in West's designs, perhaps moved by the breathtaking grandiosity of the presentation that managed to relay a strange sense of intimacy. 

West opened up to the audience about his late mother, his dreams of being creative director of Hermès and the way the Kardashian family has adopted him as one of their own. West also previewed his forthcoming video game, at which the Internet has already scoffed, but the game's objective -- helping his late mother Donda West fly to heaven -- does tug at the heartstrings a bit. 

As Kanye did his thing at MSG, the presentation was simultaneously being shown on nearly 800 movie screens across 26 countries. At the listening event at AMC Kips Bay in New York City, which one of our editors also attended, Yeezy fans of all types waited with bated breath to get a taste of West's new music. If the MSG performance was meant for the music and fashion elite, than this screening was for the people. 

From the group of high schoolers who couldn’t stop repeating the now infamous #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch to the young woman who scarfed on movie theater nachos as she bumped to Kanye’s new beats, people were into it. At one point, a man led the audience in a “turn up” cheer to compel the audio engineer to boost the volume, which was unfortunately way too low to do the album justice.

When the smell of marijuana started to waft through the theater, a particularly vocal individual demanded that the audience match his level of enthusiasm. “C’mon, y’all, this is Kanye. We all paid $35 for this shit.” By the end of the screening, “Real Friends” wasn’t just the best song off “TLOP,” but a mantra of shared camaraderie among Yeezy fanatics hearing West's new gospel for the first time.

While some inarguably feel removed from the fashion world and look on West's project with disdain, the most impressive feat of all was accomplished at Yeezy Season 3. He lifted his veil. Despite bombarding us with Twitter sprees and dropping claims about every industry under the sun, Yeezy still is that backpack rapper from Chicago who is just really hyped about music.

There wasn't a moment during the show when the audience wasn't entranced by every track from "The Life of Pablo." Not even standing among Hollywood's biggest names could seduce someone from the energy and rawness that totally defines Ye's music.
