Guess Who's Starring In An Ill-Fitting Photoshoot...

Posted: 13 Oct 2012 09:47 AM PDT

Guess which camera lover pulled off a photoshoot with ill-fitting shoes & an ill-fitting mini skirt?  The answer inside...

 

 

It's Adrienne Bailon.  Yesterday in Tribeca in NYC, the reality chick/singer smushed her toes into a pair of way too small Louboutins for her photoshoot.  Ish looked painful.  This is how chicks get their feet looking like gremlins.

Beauty is pain right?

And y'all know Adrienne loves herself a mini skirt.  So her second look was a black beaded one that barely covered her ASSets.  This is giving us the vibe of that sheer tragedy from March.

She's still a pretty chick nonetheless.  Everyone has wardrobe malfunctions...right?

Iggy Azalea UNVEILED As The Face Of House Of Holland Eyewear + Kanye's "White Dress" VIDEO + Marsha Ambrosius' Controversial "F*ck N Get It Over With" VIDEO

Posted: 12 Oct 2012 04:00 PM PDT

Iggy Azalea is the new face of House of Holland Eyewear and promo stills of the rapper rocking the glasses have been released.  See the pics inside and watch Kanye West's "White Dress" video.

House of Holland has jumped into the eyewear game and they've chosen Iggy Azalea as their new face.

The 22-piece collection features 11 different shapes and names such as Raise The Roof, Sideburns and Cagefighter.

Designer Henry Holland said, "I think the time is right for us to launch eyewear. It's our first real accessories range and will hopefully lead the way for further lines".

And in addition to modeling,  Grand Hustle's fave Aussie released her Trapgold mixtape yesterday.

 

Also in music........

Kanye West has released a video for "White Dress" which appears on RZA's Man With the Iron Fists soundtrack, in stores October 22. The clip features stills and video of artsy folks and things they might love. And the song features veiled shout outs to his girlfriend Kim K.

The song was produced by Kanye and the RZA with Tapez and Boogz.

 

Also in music......

 

Marsha Ambrosius has released a video for "F*ck N Get It Over With." The Erica D. Hayes-directed clip features the singer talking about sleeping with an ex and knowing the relationship won't work.

And speaking of sex, she recently revealed that just like male singers, she also has her groupies but there is a double standard about female artists talking about their conquests. So she's unsure of where all the controversy behind the song and video comes from.  She said,

"Double standards! Any male artist can openly brag about how many groupies he gets! Can u imagine how many men AND women have come on to me??? Listen to my music! I tell it! Always! I am not a lesbian! I am straight! I will never say I haven't fantasized or had sexually explicit dreams about women before! That would make me liar!

I've been called a lesbian since I got into the entertainment business! You're no one till someone calls you gay lol I'm so comfortable with myself, I'm not afraid to tell the story from all perspectives! I've done so from the very beginning! Ppl hear what they want to hear! I make you listen to what I feel!"

Adam & Tamera Mowry-Housley LASH OUT At Twitter Bullies ATTACKING Her Political Beliefs

Posted: 12 Oct 2012 01:38 PM PDT

Reality tv star and actress Tamera Mowry-Housley was attacked last night for her "alleged" political beliefs on Twitter causing her husband to attack back and defend her honor.  And then things turned racial.  Get the deets on what happened inside....

 

It all started last night as the very pregnant actress Tamera Mowry-Housley spoke on the 2012 Vice Presidential Debate and Rt'd a follower who said that it was hard to watch because of the candidates constantly interrupting each other.  Well.....you would have thought that she pulled a Stacey Dash as folks on Twitter jumped ALL over her. 

Folks on Twitter assumed that because Tamera's husband is White and works at FOX News, that it meant she was attacking Biden and voting for Mitt Romney...and they weren't happy.  As hate tweets flowed in, Tamera tweeted:

Her husband Adam wasn't about to sit around and let her be attacked on Twitter so he jumped in the mix saying,

But this isn't the first time Tamera has been attacked regarding Adam as she revealed during a recent interview with ZAP 2 It.  She said,

"There were certain Websites who were saying horrible things about the fact that we're an interracial couple. It's like, really? About that? it's 2012 -- at that time, it was 2011.

"We didn't even know the people. It was just a site that allows people to comment on a picture. ... More than one person was saying cruel things. So, we got it from both sides, and it's like, 'Oooh, that's weird.'"

But Tamera has been developing a thick skin when it comes to the critiques on her marriage.  And she says she's had to deal with many outside opinions due to her hit reality show "Tia & Tamera." She said,

"Doing a reality show, you're open for the world to see. People are open to judge, and you're open to judging. As an actress, they're judging your talent; they're judging how you play your role. Whereas this, they're judging you as a human being. Fortunately, with our show, we have more positive than negative."

You can catch her and sister Tia when "Tia & Tamera" returns to the Style Network on Tuesday, Oct. 16. Also, she'll star in the Gospel Music Channel movie, "Christmas Angel," premiering Dec. 1.

Jennifer Hudson Channels Whitney Houston For GRAMMY Tribute + Halle Berry, Taraji, Usher & More CLEBRATE

Posted: 12 Oct 2012 11:16 AM PDT

A formal Whitney Houston tribute is on the way.  The GRAMMY organization hosted a big tribute that was taped last night at the Nokia Theater in L.A., and will air next month.  Check out Jennifer Hudson channeling young Whitney, plus Usher, Halle Berry & more celebrating the diva's memory.  And, of course, Bobbi Kristina with her fiancee Nick Gordon...

 

Last night in L.A., celebs were on hand for the We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston event.  And J-Hud stole the show by channeling one of Whitney's 80's looks as she performed in honor of the late star.  And we're sure she did it right.

She rocked the stage with a medley of "I'm Every Woman," "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody".
 

Jenny also posed backstage with Britney Spears who was on hand, and Brit said Whitney's "I Have Nothing" started her own music career.

Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina arrived in a red Herve Leger dress and strappy black sandals.  And with her new fiance, Nick Gordon, on her arm.

Krissy switched out her sapphire engagement ring for her mom's diamond rings for the occasion.  And the twosome held hands and got extra cuddly while getting teary eyed during the show:

Meanwhile, Halle Berry took the stage to salute Whitney in the show's introduction:

Gorgeous LBD for her.

LL Cool J hit the stage to offer up his memories.

And Taraji P. Henson and her questionable hairdo were there.

Usher performed "I Believe In You And Me."

And CeCe Winans performed with BeBe "Count On Me," which brought the whole crowd to tears.

Clive Davis was there to remember one of his closest friends, as well.

Celine Dion was also a part of the tribute, but had to tape her rendition from Canada of "Greatest Love of All," which was played on a screen for the audience.

"We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston" will be broadcast on CBS on November 13. The new reality show "The Houstons: On Our Own," premieres on Wednesday, October 24.
