MAGAZINE FAB: Naomi Campbell GOES BLEACH BLONDE For The COVER Of "VOGUE Brazil" Posted: 26 Apr 2013 09:51 AM PDT Naomi Campell covers the May 2013 issue of Vogue Brazil were she daringly goes blonde! See the photo inside....
For the May 2013 issue of Vogue Brazil, 42-year-old supermodel Naomi Campbell goes bleach blonde for the daring cover. Wearing a black one-piece bathing suit with cutouts, "The Face" star shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon with her fab body and perfect poses. Reports from around the world suggest she'll spend over a million dollars for her upcoming 43rd birthday party in Ibiza next month with the Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta set to perform. And whom will they be performing for? So far, Kate Moss, Diddy, Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore and Lenny Kravitz are all on the list of invited guests. You'll recall that Naomi's boyfriend Vlad Doronin pulls out all the stops for her birthday every year with multiple parties in exotic locales...so we shall see... |
Posted: 26 Apr 2013 08:42 AM PDT Lauryn Hill has offered up an "open letter" to explain why she didn't pay her taxes and reveal her plans for new musiuc. Read the letter inside and see Drake on "American Idol" and Snoop Lion on "The Late Show".
We told you previously that Lauryn Hill has been given some extra time to pay off her massive tax bill and that she'll be releasing new music. Now, Lauryn has taken to her Tumblr page to bring fans up to speed on why she hasn't paid off her taxes and why you shouldn't believe that her new record deal was worth a reported $1 million. During her verbose rant, she lays out a politically astute explanation about not making music (the conflict between art & commerce) and for not paying her taxes (the record company made the bulk of the money and left her in financial need). This chick has more excuses than a lil bit. One thing's for sure, her letter shows she still has what it takes to pack a punch with her words. We just hope the new music and her singing voice as still up to par. Here's the letter:
Girl...pay those taxes...
And on "American Idol": Drake made a surprise appearance on "American Idol" last night to offer some words of encouragement to one of his biggest fans, finalist Candace Glover. In response to Candance's performance of his "Find Your Love" song, he told her, "You have an angelic voice. I almost wish you were there in the studio creating it with me. I feel like we could have brought it to life together." The appearance was hooked up by Drake's labelmate, "Idol" judge Nicki Minaj. Drizzy later tweeted, @NICKIMINAJ is an incredible person for setting that up. Love you always. Thank you!” And on "The Late Show":
Snoop Lion hit the stage with his daughter Cori B. to perform their anti-gun violence track "No Guns Allowed" on "The Late Show with David Letterman." The song appears on Snoop's Reincarnated disc. How cute is this father-daughter duo?! |
TV FAB: Fantasia & Anthony Mackie DRINK IT UP On Bravo's "WWHL" Posted: 26 Apr 2013 07:10 AM PDT Last night's episode of "WWHL" was full of chocolate as host Andy Cohen partied with Fantasia, Anthony Mackie and "All My Children" star Darnell Williams. See clips inside.... During a round of promos for Side Effects Of You, singer Fantasia stopped by Bravo's hit late-night chat fest "WWHL" with host Andy Cohen last night. And the drinks were flowing.

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 04:06 PM PDT Your fave party people were back at what they do best last night--partying it up on both coasts and looking pretty damn fabulous while doing so. Check out Ciara & Rocsi pouring up the SKYY Vodka in Hollywood, plus Mashonda, Angela Simmons & Yandy Smith helping JONES magazine celebrate in NYC.... Sometimes you need a good sexy drink to up your own sexy factor while partying it up with your friends. So Ciara brought her "Body Party" to Greystone Manor for the "House of Moscato event" in Los Angeles, all to help celebrate the launch of their newest infusions, SKYY Infusions Moscato Grape. "Entertainment Tonight" host Rocsi Diaz turned up in a sexy red dress as both she and Ciara had some fun with Spring Breakers star Vanessa Hudgens and the red carpet props.
Ciara looked amazing as usual in this little black long sleeved Helmut Lang dress and black Louboutin platform pumps. Rocsi had some fun on the carpet too and posed it up rocking this cute dress and Jimmy Choo sandals: Hot. Y'all know Omarion already loved this.
"Single Ladies" star (where the hell is that show anyway?) Denise Vasi made her way to the party. Ex Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton was there.
And DJ Just Blaze and Theophilus London rocked the stage with a live performance. Fun times!
And over in NYC, the 3rd Annual Jones Magazine 2013 Best in Beauty Issue Celebration Dinner went down at the über exclusive DUO Restaurant & Lounge. And some of our fave fab chicks were on hand to celebrate: Angela Simmons looked stylish as usual in super cute lime green sandals as she posed it up with "LAHH" star Yandy Smith and former "LAHH" star Mashonda with the perfect makeup as usual.
The ladies all kicked it with Sidra Smith (Tasha Smith's twin sis), Raqui Thunda and a camo loving Estelle. Estelle was spotted looking cute as usual--since we've noticed her style game has stepped all the way up--as she had some fun with party promoter Legendary Damon. Hey Sidra! "Gossip Game" stars Angela Yee and Kim Osorio were there...
And beauty queen Kamie Crawford (Miss Teen USA 2010) was there snapping pics with publisher Londell McMillan. So gorge. Fab times all around! Photo Credit: Michael Simon/Star Traks for SKYY Vodka, JONES for Jones Magazine |

Earlier today Roc Nation Sports announced the signing of WNBA star Skylar Diggins. The Tulsa Shock baller was the number three overall pick in the first round of the 2013 WNBA Draft. And she's been on the radar of Jay & his new Roc Naton Sports crew for a while. Skylar, who became the only player in Notre Dame history to be a four-time All-America selection rose to fame as both the "alleged" crush of Lil' Wayne and as a two-time recipient of the Nancy Lieberman Award, given annually to the nation's top point guard.

Nice movie Nic! |

Blue Ivy Goes UNCOVERED & Lunches With Mama Beyonce & Papa Hov Posted: 25 Apr 2013 09:52 AM PDT B.I.C. is taking over Paris...one neon Adidas Kids' Big Trefoil sneaker at a time. Baby Blue was spotted lunching in the fabulous city with the 'rents, Mr. & Mrs. Carter. Check out the completely uncovered cutie inside...

Beyonce is in Paris performing back-to-back sold out shows for her Mrs. Carter Tour, so it's only right her baby girl is right by her side, and so is papa Jay who offered up some kisses to his princess. The Carter fam was spotted out at lunch at Szptime restaurant in the gorgeous french city today, and clearly Bey and her wiggery were on "EF-it" casual mode.
