SNEAK PEEK: Chanel Iman Gets Cutesy For Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Fitting

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 06:51 AM PDT

Gorgeous model Chanel Iman is gearing up for the upcoming 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.  Check out a couple of the looks the 20-year-old will be rocking on the runway as she gets fab for her first fitting inside...

Before any fashion show, the models try on the looks they will be rocking for last minute alterations.  And the folks at Modelinia got to check out the Angels' fitting recently.   They said about the burgeoning supermodel who, by the way, is the only YBF chick walking in the show this year.:

Chanel was looking better than ever this morning for her multi-look fitting. Despite the early hour, she was dancing around, gushing over her outfits for the show. “I love each piece for its own original character. I’m just so blessed to be able to rock out with VS and be a part of this whole thing!” Chanel said.

Her first look is a romantic, yet sexy, pink tutu with gorgeous feather detailing and a sculptured silk bodice. Her second look is about as rockstar as it gets with a light up bra and wings with oodles of bracelets and other bits and baubles. While she said she loved all her looks equally, the entire room fell in love with the second look; after all, who doesn’t love a pair of neon lit wings!? Although we didn’t get a chance to see her in her third look, we caught a glimpse of the drawing and were totally blown away!

A few more pics:

Can't wait for the show!  Kanye West and Cee-Lo will be performing and it airs Tuesday, November 29, 10/9c on CBS.

PREGGERS WATCH: Alicia Keys Shows Off Suspicious BUMP At 2011 Black Ball

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 09:13 PM PDT

We posted pics last night of Alicia Keys hitting the red carpet at her 2011 Black Ball.  We spotted a suspicious bump in the belly area that appeared to possibly be just camera angles and post-(first) baby weight.  But after seeing this bump in this fitted black dress, Mrs. Beatz-Keys is officially on Preggers Watch.  Again.

 

Deets inside...

Her husband Swizz Beatz holding her tummy area on the red carpet raised our eyebrows a bit.  But when video and pics of her performance inside the Ball surfaced, the bulge in this fitted black dress makes us think that the mother of 13-month-old Egypt may be preggers again.  You be the judge:

Hmmm....

Lance Gross Finally Confirms He's Off The Market...

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 07:55 PM PDT

In what-we've-known-for-like-ever news of the day, actor Lance Gross just confirmed his sexy self is off the market.  Check out how he let the world know about him and his girlfriend Rebecca Jefferson inside...

After first being spotted out hand-in-hand shopping at The Grove in L.A. over a year ago, Lance denied being in a relationship with Rebecca...or anybody.  Barely even admitted he knew Rebecca, who's a stylist in L.A., despite being seen with her on several occasions.  Maybe it was because he was fresh off his breakup with fiancee' Eva Marcille.  But all that's changed.

He just changed his status on his personal Facebook page tonight from "Single" to "In A Relationship."  And we all know what that means when you're Facebook Official.  Aaahhhh.....real love.  By the way, Lance wil also be starring in Tyler Perry's upcoming movie The Marriage Counselor as "Brice" alongside Jurnee Smollett (who plays his wife), Vanessa Williams (who plays his mother-in-law), Brandy, and Kim Kardashian.

Check out Lance skydiving with girlfriend Rebecca on his birthday this past summer (4:05 mark)...in case you missed it.

 

Did Kelly Slip Up And Reveal That Beyonce & Jay-Z Are Having A......

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 01:30 PM PDT

Kelly Rowland reportedly gave an interview to UK's BANG Showbiz recently.  And she slipped up about the sex of the baby. Check out what she said inside...

 

 

It's a BABY GIRL for the Carters!  According to BANG Showbiz that is.  They report that Kelly Rowland slipped up about the sex of Jay-Z and Beyonce's baby during an interview with her last night in the UK at the 2011 Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards as she accepted the award for Ultimate TV Personality.

We were busy checking out the validity of BANG Showbiz before reporting, and they don't publish their articles on their own site for free public consumption.  Seemed a bit fishy, until another valid newspaper reprinted their whole interview article.  Here's what Kelly had to say about Baby Carter on the way:

"I'm so happy for my sister and her husband. They're so happy in this moment right now, as they should be. They've made a little bundle of love, I'm so excited for them.

"I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won't be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after.

"I'll be on hand for babysitting duties and I'm actually very good with messy diapers!"

Bey is about to snatch a wig for spilling the beans!  Oh wells, congrats if true. 

The "X-Factor" judge was also just named this year's BBC 1Xtra Live tour headliner. Kelly's management has not yet responded to our validation requests about the interview.

HAIR WOES! Bad Hair Days...& How To Fix Them!

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 11:46 AM PDT

We've seen celebs with bad hair days.  And we've all had our own.  Now check out how SoftSheen Carson's new Optimum Care product line can ixnay the foolishness inside....

Whether it's a wig, a weave, or au natural, hair woes can make their presence known.  Here's how to fix them to get the hair we all envy:

Over processing with color and applying tons of heat to get curls, bone straight, or even mini-crimps like Tyra can leave hair stiff, dry, lackluster, and frizzy.  Optimum Care's Deep Conditioning Masque, Essential ointment for dry scalp, the Heat Protection Polisher, and Whipped Hair Moisturizer can quench this brittle problem.

Damages!  Bald patches, hair line issues, and broken hair can be treated with Optimum Care's Replenishing Shampoo and Fortifying Conditioner.  Both perform instant breakage reduction for damaged hair.  And you can handle up right at home.

 

When having a head full of hair like Diana Ross, it's hard to keep every strand conditioned and shiny.  Using Optimum Care's Replenishing Shampoo and Fortifying Conditioner can help repair any damaged locks hidden in your mass of gorgeousness.  And the Optimum Care Mineral Oil-Free Sheen Spray can add that shiny, extra moisturized look.  And spraying on the moisture is easy on lots of hair than massaging it in.
