Bustle's Editors On Melania Trump + 'The Bachelor'

by Rachel Simon

Happy Tuesday, all! It's hard to believe that there are only a few days left in August, and with that, the summer overall. Autumn will be here in a heartbeat, and I, for one, am seriously ready for those comfy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes.

This month is going out with a bang, though, as shown by all the news and events that had Bustle's editors talking today, Aug. 28:

Joel Osteen + Houston

As Hurricane Harvey continues to ravage Texas, Houston megachurch pastor Joel Osteen has come under fire for not opening the doors of his church to flood victims. Twitter users were not pleased with the news that the megachurch wasn't acting as a refuge, but whether due to the public shaming or not, Osteen's church has now become a shelter for those in need.

The Bachelor + A Big Breakup

Last week, Bachelor Nation fans were heartbroken to hear that Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi had ended their engagement. Now, the exes are opening up about the split, with Nick telling Us Weekly that he still loves Vanessa and that they're still friends. Meanwhile, Vanessa posted an Instagram saying, "It's okay to feel broken. It's okay to cry. It's okay to lean on a friend. In the end, it will always be okay." Oh, man.

Your next shopping trip just got a whole lot better.

Melania Trump + Stilettos

While visiting Harvey-affected parts of Texas alongside husband Donald, Melania Trump wore stilettos — and the Internet flipped out. While it's natural to question the First Lady's curious choice of footwear, let's not get distracted from the actually important issues at hand, namely Harvey's effects and Trump's response. Got it? Good.
