Adrienne Bailon Covers Latina Mag + Trash Talks The Kardashian Klan

Image
Like how long ago were Adrienne and Rob together? WHEN HE WAS SKINNY... Anywho, Adrienne Bailon beautifully covers Latina mag's September issue. But what's not so beautiful is her timing on slamming her ex Rob Kardashian . Although I'm sure Adrienne had tons of other things to talk about (she did mention her new man and her talk show The Real ) I almost stunned that she (or someone she pays) didn't think bringing up Rob and his family in a current publication would seem calculated and pointless. On the aftermath of Keeping Up With the Kardashians:  “To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career.  I probably realized that too late—not that it would’ve affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would’ve affected my decision to appear on the show. At the time,  I didn’t think anyone would even care. To this day, people will still say, ‘You ruined Rob’s life!’ and I’ll think, Damn, I was still playing with Bar

Persia White And Joseph Morgan Wed In Jamaica

Image
Persia White and her former Vampire Diaries co-star now husband Joseph Morgan wed on July 5 in Jamaica. "It had a very rustic feel to it," White tells PEOPLE. "There was nothing about it that was overwhelming or very huge or fabulous in that way. We tried to keep everything really intimate and beautiful and sort of going along with nature."  Awww, rustic weddings are all the rage now but the wedding wasn't too rustic with White sashaying down the aisle in a Vera Wang gown. Anywho, congrats and I can't wait for the news of  "cute mini Josephs!". Source

Sandra Bullock Celebrates The Big 5-0 With Celeb Gal Pals

Image
Who knew Sandra Bullock was even turning 50? My have the times changed with people aging so gracefully... However,  I've never been too fond of Sandy because she was always the poor man's Julia Roberts (my fav actress) in my opinion but as I grew up so did my some of my opinions. Anywho, Sandra celebrated her birthday (July 26) at a bar in Wyoming (July 24) with the likes of Chelsea Handler and Whitney Cummings along with her sister for some girly fun. Thanks to Chelsea and a few locals we now know and can see the low key fun Sandra and her girls had sans the LA sun. Although I find Chelsea to be a bit over the top at times and borderline offensive whenever I find out she's good  friends with some of Hollywood's elite I find said friend to be a bit more cool...just a bit.

Cissy Houston Is Not Fond Of Whitney Houston Biopic

Image
If I were Lifetime I would can every biopic they've been coming up with lately. These families want the big screen and to run the show...you have to let them do at least one. Anywho, Cissy Houston spoke to Entertainment Tonight regarding her dislike for the upcoming made for television movie for her late daughter Whitney Houston . "Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family's objections. No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby," she said in a statement to ET. "In the two years since Whitney's death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn't know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest.&qu

FIRST LOOK: Zoe Saldana Shows Off Baby Bump

Image
There's no denying it now. I guess Zoe Saldana was ready to tell the world this morning via Good Morning American while promoting her new flick Guardians of the Galaxy  hitting theatres THIS FRIDAY that she was in fact pregnant as a source suggested  for her   last week . E! News has a source snitching that Zoe and her husband Mark Perego are expecting twins. Photos: 247PapsTV/Splash News

Could Kim Kardashian Upstage Beyonce?

Image
According to Page Six Beyonce thinks she can...for a day. Beyoncé and Jay Z both change their cellphone numbers every two weeks. Even other celebrities aren’t immune to quality control. It’s not whom they hang out with, says the source — “it’s who hangs out with them.” According to the source, they shunned Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding because it was too low-rent for the Jay Z/Beyoncé brand . “They are guarding like hell their status,” the source says. “ Beyoncé wasn’t going to allow a Kardashian to socially climb her. And Jay didn’t want Kanye with Kim — he thinks it’s bad for business. I think Jay lost a little respect for Kanye there.” Kim Kardashian would have to climb for the rest of her life, mine and yours before she could successfully socially out clim Bey. Now I do think the production of the wedding and the Rachel Roy claims so soon after the elevator brawl had something to do with the Carters not attending. I think this was the funniest thing I'

Tia Mowry-Hardrict Claims Charlize Theron Is Rude As Hell

Image
More like Charlize gave her the " little girl go away " speech we already know how emotional those Mowry twins can be. Get into how Tia says Charlize snubbed her at a SoulCycle class. “She wasn’t very nice to me,” Tia, who has long admired Charlize’s work, dished to  In Touch . “I said ‘Hi,’ and she actually rolled her eyes and said, ‘Oh my God.’” While Tia tells the mag that she understands that anyone can be caught on a bad day, the exchange was still a disappointment. “I wasn’t over-the-top. I know how to approach another celebrity,” she adds. “Charlize was just mean. I’m just being honest.” All Tia had to do was ask her what the freak was up with her attitude and/or a simple " eff you " but she didn't because she's a good girl. My main question has to be: whys this news? I hope Charlize was just having a bad day and never responds to this claim...and I hope the Mowry twins grow a pair together. Y'all know I love their emo asses tho.

NeNe Leakes Has A Bone To Pick With Wendy Williams

Image
Y'all remember that customized raunchy ass Birkin bag NeNe Leakes showed off last week on Instagram? Well it seems Messy Wendy had a few choice words about the bag and now NeNe is sounding off in her blog against the talk show messy queen. Chile NeNe tilted the post simply " Wendy Williams "... Wendy I am sure people think that I’ve done something to you, maybe we had a beef or I slept with your man but none of that is true! I’ve actually only been nice to you! I gave you a beautiful black $3,200 Celine Phantom Bag to celebrate your 500th show but you haven’t spoken of that! But what you have chosen to do is constantly speak negative of me and lie on me! What you need to do is stop spewing hate! When it comes to gossip you are the lowest of the low! I know you hate because I turned down the chance to come on your Talk Show and I am sure you’re scared I will take your place (I know you have heard! Ummhmm wink wink) BE SCARED! I have a clothing line on HSN

WHAAAAAAAT: Naya Rivera Weds Ryan Dorsey

Image
Yup, that's right!! Kim Kardashian's stalker Naya Rivera after recently calling off her engagement to rapper Lil Sean this past April is now a married woman. Naya wed actor Ryan Dorsey over the weekend (July 19) in Cabo in an intimate ceremony among  family. The two have reportedly been friends for about four years. Unlike Kim, I hope Naya doesn't become a serial dater/bride. The writings on the wall though so we shall see... Congrats!!! Source

Trouble In Paradise For Kimye?

Image
According to In Touch there is... Kanye is too in love with Kim Kardashian for me to believe this story. Especially when it's almost evident that In Touch was on Kris Jenner 's speed dial at one time. Could there be trouble in I scratch your back you make me money paradise? Anywho, Kim would leave Kanye before he leaves her... Ironically, Jay Z and Beyonce are making headlines for marital issues as well. Maybe Kimye could use a referral for their marriage counselor.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER: Zoe Saldana Expecting First Child

Image
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin A source has revealed to Us Weekly that Zoe Saldana and husband Mark Perego are expecting their first child. "Zoe is about three months pregnant," the insider tells  Us  of the  Guardians of the Galaxy  actress, 36. " But she will only announce the news when she's ready ." So why is the source announcing it?! Source my ass!! Zoe is reportedly three-months pregnant and I'm sure she knows who could have told this story. "When she's ready"!!! So You (soure) should shut up!! Anywho, the two married last September in a hush hush ceremony in London. I wish them the best ass parents and hopefully Zoe is a moody preggo chick...we know how she can get. FameFlynet Pictures

A Teenage Bindi Irwin Covers People Mag

Image
For those of you unfamiliar with Bindi she is the daughter of the late Steve Irwin  affectionately known as the  crocodile hunter . Bindi was captured on screen many times with her father as he did what he loved before his untimely death involving a stingray in 2006. Almost 16-years-old (her birthday is tomorrow) Bindi is opening up to People magazine about her coping and life now as she continues her father's legacy. "I remember after we lost Dad, so many adults came up to me and said, 'Honey, time heals all wounds,' " Bindi, who turns 16 on July 24, tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "That is the biggest lie you will ever hear. It doesn't."  She continues, "That kind of sadness never goes away. It's like losing a piece of your heart that you never get back."

Evelyn Lozada And Jennifer Williams Friends Again?

Image
Naught ...well not quite yet but judging from a recent PUBLIC tweet from Evelyn Lozada I think she is ready to be Jennifer Williams ' friend again. I had a dream about Jennifer last night 😳 Felt so real! #ItWasFunny — Evelyn Lozada (@EvelynLozada) July 20, 2014 In my world, this is like extending an olive branch BUT in my world after all the shit and antics that went on between Evelyn and Jen a public tweet wouldn't suffice for ME. But I hope they get it right then Evelyn can make an appearance on Jen's reality show...I need to see it to care.

Jonah Hill Officiates Adam Levine's Wedding

Image
Ramey  Over the weekend (July 19)  Maroon 5 frontman  Adam Levine married Victoria's Secret model  Behati Prinsloo in Los Cabos, Mexico. Although I think it's rather unique that Adam married an South African hottie the fact that Jonah Hill officiated the ceremony is very unique in itself also. "Adam knew that he was putting himself good hands by having Jonah officiate," another insider tells Us. "He and Behati set out to make this the most fun wedding that anybody had ever experienced and they truly did just that." Source Jonah and Adam have been friends since childhood as have their fathers who met in the Principal's office in middle school per Jonah. Jonah's brother, Jordan Feldstein , is Adam's manager as well. Also in attendance was a slew of VS models some included the bridal party, Robert Downey, Jr . and Stevie Nicks just to name a few. The bride wore Marchesa. You learn something new everyday...congrats to Adam

PREVIEW: Beyonce "Blow" Video

Image
Instagram This weekend Beyonce had the opportunity to stop by the skating rink in Houston where she shot her " Blow " video. Bey was in town for her and Jay Z 's On The Run tour where she took a break to get her skate on once again. How ironic were these two events? " Blow " has yet to be officially released but if you have the Beyonce visual album you should have seen it by now. And as if her music wasn't enough to keep her busy, Queen Bey just may be lending her vocals to the highly anticipated movie Fifty Shades of Grey ...if you use her IG as evidence.

Kanye West Speaks On Beyonce And Jay Z Not Attending His Wedding

Image
Ten days after his nuptials to Kim Kardashian Kanye West sat down for an interview with GQ . It is inside the mag that he speaks on what all of us have been wanting to know deep inside: How he feels about his friend and mentor Jay Z along with his wife Beyonce missing his big day. But if you read a lot of the tabloid coverage, the implication is: Kim and her family are bringing you down. Jay Z and Beyoncé didn't show up at your wedding because of them. That kind of thing.  All that, I wouldn't even speak on. It doesn't even matter to me whatsoever, who would show up. Because the most important person to show up there, to me, was Kim. And that's all that matters to me. I had to fight for that for seven years. But the fact that these other people showed up that are from such different worlds but have done such dynamic things—they're all, in a way, equal to what Kim has done in TV or what I had done in music. I was so moved that I just wanted people to stop

11 Questions With Nia Long

Image
In  11 Questions ,  The A.V. Club  asks interesting people 11 interesting questions—and then asks them to suggest one for our next interviewee. 1. Who would be your pop-culture best friend? Nia Long:  [Without hesitation.] Rihanna. We’re both from Barbados—my family is Jamaican—and I just love a hot little island girl. [Laughs.] The A.V. Club: Would you say that’s Rihanna on one particular album or on the whole? NL:  Just who she is. She’s fearless, she does it her way, she’s sexy, she’s beautiful; I live my life vicariously through her. She has no kids and no husband. Just amazing. Free as a bird. I remember those days. AVC: Have you told her you want to be her best friend? NL:  Well, I met her before she became a superstar. We were at the Kids’ Choice Awards and she came and sat down and talked to me and it was just cute. Now she’s a woman and she’s all grown up and can do no wrong in my book. 2. How would your enemies describe you? NL:  [Sighs. Laughs.] Probab

Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Add Wedding Dress Designers To Their Resumes

Image
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen  had the honor of designing the wedding gown of their long-time friend and stylist Molly Fishkin (her godmother is Stevie Nicks ) who recently married producer/director Asher Levin . "They are very close friends of mine and have been for the last 15 years,” Molly explains. “The minute I got engaged, they said they would love to design my wedding dress. I was thrilled—their taste is impeccable, and I really trust them. Their team was so incredible and patient with me. They were always so calming and made the process incre dibly enjoyable. I will never forget what they did for me.” - MF   Let's get into the gown... Photographed by Heather Kincaid What do you guys think? Are Ash and MK on to something here?

Blake Lively Gets Third Vogue Cover For August 2014

Image
Blake Lively brings her unerring eye, Southern roots, and love of storytelling to her latest venture—a Web site called Preserve. Jonathan Van Meter heads West to meet up with the Gossip Girl turned Internet entrepreneur. I know there has to be some behind the scene reasoning as to why Blake Lively keeps getting these covers  and a lifestyle website launch is not one of them. Don't get me wrong, she's a beauty (American poster girl for many) but some other deserving celeb /artist/activist/anybody that would be a breathe of fresh air for the mag and a decent read. I'd like to see some other faces receive the opportunity to be able to grace the cover of the fashion bible. I love me some Serena Blake tho... Photographed by Mario Testino,  Vogue,  August 2014

FASHION PAUSE: Draya Cleans Up Well At The 2014 ESPY Awards

Image
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin I thought she and Orlando were broken up? Anywho,  Draya looked amazing and almost sophisticated last night in Michael Costello at the ESPY Awards she attended with her beau pro football player Orlando Scandrick . The dress was rather revealing but was a much needed improvement in Draya's wardrobe. I even liked the dress better on Draya than Tamar Braxton ...them hips don't lie!! Source

Linda Perry Discredits Beyonce's Writing Skills

Image
And there goes life as Linda knew it...   Linda Perry is legendary for being the front woman of 4 Non Blondes  and  penning hit records for many of your fav pop stars like Pink and Christina Auguilera . These days Linda is still practicing her craft while adding VH1 star to her resume with her new musiccompetition show. Linda along with VH1 together have created Make or Break: The Linda Perry Project (just think American Idol with a little funk and just Linda). Anywho, I'm not here for the show but Linda warrants my full attention just as much as I'm sure she just got Beyonce 's. During a recent interview to promote her VH1 show Linda was asked about Beyonce's songwriting skills. In a Reddit AMA  promoting her new show on VH1,  Make or Break , songwriter (and 4 Non Blondes frontwoman) Linda Perry got lots of questions about Christina Aguilera, P!nk and the Beyoncé songwriting ( or lack thereof ) controversy. Despite having songwriting credits all over h

NEW COUPLE ALERT: Lil Wayne & Christina Milian?

Image
For the sake of The Dream 's sloppy seconds I pray not but the rumors have been swirling for a while and even moreso now that Christina Milian called off her engagement LAST MONTH to Jas Prince ...who has ties to YMCMB most notably Drake . Anywho, last night Wayne and Christina were spotted at the ESPYS holding hands as they walked to their seats and appeared more than cozy while watching the show. I don't know what to say because I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing. I hope Christina gets the album of her desire finally out of this one ...or some decent advice from her friend Lauren London and ignore all of Cassie 's advice. I'll wait to hear what happened to Lil Wayne's engagement to the Dhea chick... If she even knows!!

SAVE THE DATE: 'Scandal' Returns In September

Image
Shonda Rhimes sat down with TV Guide to dish some semi deets on everyone's favorite guilty pleasure Scandal . As most of us know Harrison ( Columbus Short ) will not be returning to the show. In this recent interview Rhimes divulges a little more info about what we the viewers can expect to see in Season 4 when the show returns September 24 to ABC. Is there a time jump going into Season 4? Shonda Rhimes:   When we leave, she's on a plane headed to God knows where. When we come back into the season, we find ourselves is a surprising place both time-wise and location-wise.   Papa Pope all but tricked her into getting on the plane. How will she feel once she finds out she was duped and played right into her father's hands? Rhimes:   Do you think that she finds out? I hope that she finds out, but perhaps she does not.   Will we see more of Maya and Papa Pope this season even though Maya is locked away? Rhimes:   Definitely more Papa Pope. How can you live with
