Pharrell Teams Up With Karl Lagerfeld For Chanel Film

Image
Karl Lagerfeld , who I deem fashion royalty, has teamed up with music's savior of the moment  Pharrell Williams for a Chanel film. WWD has learned that Karl Lagerfeld directed the musician in his latest movie, to be screened in tandem with the Paris-Salzburg pre-fall collection the designer plans to parade on Dec. 2. Filming took place in a Paris studio last week, with Cara Delevingne and six-year-old Hudson Kroenig among Williams’ costars and dance partners, Lagerfeld said. Chanel’s next Métiers d’art collection is to be unveiled at the Schloss Leopoldskron, an 18th-century Rococo palace that is considered one of the finest in Austria. Source 

Brody Jenner Lands ANOTHER Reality Show

Image
Brody Jenner would be what some consider a successful reality show star. Although every reality show he has ever starred in has been dead and gone for a while now he always seems to land on another reality show. This time around E! has given the former Prince of Malibu  a spin at exercising his dating expertise. Although Brody hasn't been too successful in the relationship department E! is still trusting him with their ratings. Reality star  Brody Jenner , Stevie TV’s  Stevie Ryan  and sex and relationship therapist/TV personality Dr. Mike Dow are set to host an untitled live weekly relationship call-in talk show for E!, which will be filming a development presentation in Los Angeles this month.   The project originated with Brody and is based on  The Brody Jenner Podcast With Dr. Mike Dow , which launched in January. Jenner sold the idea with Dow attached to E!, and Ryan was brought in as a third co-host. Jenner, his manager Eric Podwall a...

Donald Faison Reunites With Stacey Dash

Image
At the season premiere of Donald Faison 's television show a reunion also took place. Last night Stacey Dash was spotted supporting Donald at the season 4 premiere of his show The Exes in LA. Also in attendance was another former co-star of Donald's from his Scrubs days Zach Braff .

FASHION PAUSE: Beyonce Partners With Top Shop

Image
If you follow Beyonce and fashion you would know the superstar was a fan of the clothing line Top Shop if you were judging simply from how much Bey wears the brand. It seems that Beyonce has gone a step further than simply being a fan having joined forces with the designer. Beyonce together with Top Shop will produce an athletic line. “This not a collaboration. This is about building a brand and building a business — a separate, proper business, with separate overhead and a separate office,” Topshop owner Sir Philip Green told WWD in an interview Sunday. Although I'm not super excited about the athletic line I am more than excited to know this will not be a crop top and matching skirt kind of line. Beyoncé Knowles and London-based Topshop have formed a 50-50 joint venture company, Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd., to produce an athletic streetwear brand, WWD has learned. It could launch in stores and online in fall 2015 at the earliest. Have we ever seen Bey work...

Savannah James , wife to NBA baller LeBron James , gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Zhuri , on October 22. The James family now is a pack of five with two sons and baby Zhuri. Congrats!!

Get To Kooking With Kris Jenner

Image
Just when you thought the Kardashians couldn't find anything else to endorse or sell Kris Jenner comes out with a cookbook on Kim Kardashian 's birthday. Does Kim get 10%? The family chef? If you're interested in "kooking" like or for a Kardashian/Jenner you can pick up a brand new copy of Kris' book on Amazon for about 15 bucks. 

Are We Getting A 'Basketball Wives' Season 6?

Image
According to Sip The Tea we are... The original #BasketballWives (plus new faces) will be returning to #Vh1 for a brand new season Feb 2015. Will you be watching? A photo posted by Unbothered While Sippin Tea (@sipthetea) on Oct 10, 2014 at 10:12am PDT Hmmm, one would think the original faces of the show out grew this kick start of their careers but maybe they have some unfinished business we don't know about...hopefully no fighting is involved. But if  Evelyn Lozada isn't on the show they can hang it up...

Happy Birthday, Drake!!

Happy birthday, Aubrey!! You're the best!!

Sanna Lathan And Tyrese Gibson Dating?

Image
Tyrese and Sanaa Lathan were spotted together at the Cheesecake Factory in Hollywood earlier this week together. Although the two didn't appear to be together, only avoiding one another and TMZ cameras, it was obvious the two were as the drove off  in Tyrese's truck. Is this all it takes to get Tyrese to shut up? It's dayum sure not gay rumors... Anywho I just wanted to post that, but judging from how enthused Sanaa and Tyrese were when cameras spotted them together I will assume whatever they were doing they didn't want to be seen together. Truth be told they may as well come clean because they aren't doing a good job hiding their relationship ...whatever that may be.

Tyga Has Some Drake Beef Up For Grabs

Image
Rapper Tyga has been distancing himself lately from not only his family and common sense but his label and label mates as well. Tyga has recently taken a break from his relationship with his son's mother Blac Chyna (his words not mine)   and although we see him out with an underage Kylie Jenner he is not dating her (his words not mine) but I don't buy it. The reason I'm even talking about Tyga now is because he's wishing to reveal NOW that he doesn't get along with  Drake and Nicki Minaj as well as he "tend" to distance himself from Young Money. Check out what Tyga had to say about his label and label mates in his Vibe cover interview. If y'all want to read his Kanye West influenced full interview go right ahead and waste about 4 minutes of your life that you'll never get back. Is Young Money a part of the creative process on this album? Nah. I tend to distance myself from them. Are you trying to break out on your own? Yeah, I’m...

Renee Zellweger's New Look Is A Shocker

Image
When I think of  Renee Zellweger I automatically think of the first time I saw her which was in one of my favorite movies Jerry Maguire . Her beauty was refreshing and very distinct something you hadn't seen in Hollywood a lot but now that's a thing of the past. An almost unrecognizable Zelleger was spotted on the red carpet at the Elle Women In Hollywood Awards this past Monday. In an instant there was uproar about just what Renee did to herself with many suspecting cosmetic surgery prompting Renee to issue a statement to People mag. "I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows,"    Calling the conversation about her appearance "silly," she says she is choosing to address it because "it seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn't exist won't get off my porch until I answer the door."     ...

VIDEO: Aretha Franklin Promotes 'Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics'

Image
This is only for those who need a laugh or simply enjoy organic comedy. Check out the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin promoting her new album  Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics  on various news media outlets. It seems as if the Queen was getting a little tired...AND aggravated from what I saw.  Now why would they make her do that much press in what appears to be one sitting? 

Tamar Braxton Helps Promote The New Season Of 'RHOA'

Image
This past Sunday the Queen of Shade (not Wendy Williams this time) Tamar Braxton visited Andy Cohen 's clubhouse for a Watch What Happens Live episode to promote the new season of her reality show spinoff Tamar &Vince . During this episode  Miss Tamar made her true feelings about two of The Real Housewives of Atlanta public. Messy Andy let a caller through who asked Tamar about her thoughts regarding Kenya Moore 's singing career and we got this response... I usually don't get with Tamar and her shade shenanigans but I liked this. Her response wasn't too out of line, the thought of NeNe Leakes and Tamar Braxton at a bar full of other Atlanta reality stars sounds hilarious and I am simply sick of people fanning out for Kenya Moore. Make sure y'all tune in November 9 for the new season of RHOA . BTW, Kenya responded to Tamar's shade almost instantly...these women know how to promote a show!!

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER: Leslie Jones Joins 'Saturday Night Live' Cast

Image
Saturday Night Live is not playing with the addition of more minorities on their show. Can someone tell me where to apply? I will sweep up after the skits? Anywho, veteran comedian Leslie Jones is the newest female comedian to join the cast and she just so happens to be an African American... mmm hmmm . You may not know her name but you've had to have seen her before in stand up or in movies where she always played stereotypical roles. But today thangs have changed. In a way I knew things were looking up for Jones having just saw her last week in the trailer for Chris Rock 's upcoming flick Top Five . Leslie's not that new to the SNL scene. She has been writing for SNL for a few months now and even made a controversial debut appearance on the sketch comedy back in May. Congrats, Leslie...you paid your dues!!

SPOTTED: Julia Roberts Out And About Los Angeles

Image
My fav (no really my favorite actress) Julia Roberts was spotted out and about last week getting her leisure on in Los Angeles in a harem jumper. It's not often we see Julia outside of awards shows or an A-Lister event sans make up and casual clothes but I must say doing see feels quite refreshing. It must be nice NAUGHT to depend on the paps and your social life in an effort to stay relevant in your career... mmm hmmm . No comment on Julia's outfit. She can do no wrong in my book...would anyone like a slice of biased pie? Speaking of Julia, her birthday is next week and being as though I'm alllllllllllllllllways late and sooooooooooo forgetful I would like to say Happy EARLY Birthday to my fav!!

And Seth knew the words!! The night was a success with Rogan and pals raising $900k for Alzheimers research

FIRST LOOK: 'Top Five' Starring Chris Rock

Image
Chris Rock 's new flick Top Five also co-starring Rosario Dawson  has been receiving rave reviews since the Toronto Film Festival. Today I finally saw the trailer for the first time and WILL be seeing this movie. Oh and if your fan the f*ck out for black comedians/actors/actresses then you'll love this movie because anyone who is anyone has a slight role in this movie...even Kevin Hart and Tracy Morgan ! I love me some Chris Rock but if it's not from the comfort of my couch I usually don't support him as I should but I will be seeing this movie and his stand up performance (on my Nosee list) if that ever happens again. Top Five hits theatres December 12.

Phaedra Parks Answers Hard Questions On 'Ellen' + Confirms Divorce

Image
Naught!! Don't you just love misleading titles...shout out to TMZ !! Anywho, Ms . Phaedra Parks appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week (Oct 15) where she was asked a few infamous questions that have been looming on the minds of fans and non-fans concerning her husband Apollo Nida 's legal issues, imprisonment, status of their marriage and even adultery on HER end. But if you're fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta you know   Phaedra answered the questions like a pro...a professional lawyer with her "5th college degree". The Georgia divorce laws make it realllllllllllllllly easy divorce your incarcerated spouse. What a way to certify next season's storyline and the potential of new man...go 'head Phae!! Am I the only one surprised that Ellen DeGeneres even went there ? This clip proves that you don't have to nasty and shady to get all up in some one's business when that is your business. I would love to know if any of...

Find Out Who's Making What In Hollywood + Not So Famous High Paying Entertainment Careers

Image
Now this is the stuff I want to know. And for the record I know these are guesstimates for the most part but pretty close at least...they better be. Anywho, The Hollywood Reporter in their Money Issue gathered the salaries for some of your favs and not so favs in Hollywood including a few behind the scene gigs and you'd be surprised to see who's taking in what and how some aren't getting quite enough. Click to Enlarge How bad is the decline in actor salaries over the past decade? Despite the huge sums still being raked in by such superstars as  Robert Downey Jr.  (his $75 million comes from his 7 percent, first-dollar slice of  Iron Man 3 , as well as his $12 million HTC endorsement deal) and  Sandra Bullock  (a 15 percent, first-dollar deal on  Gravity  and about $10 million more for her summer hit  The Heat ), most actors are feeling a definite squeeze, especially those in the middle.  

NeNe Leakes Stops By 'The Real' And 'WWE Raw'

Image
I guess Wendy Williams burned a bridge, road and nose talking shit about Mrs. Leakes ... Anywho, NeNe Leakes stopped by Fox's The Real yesterday (and not The Wendy Williams Show ) where she promoted herself most importantly and dished a little about her Real Housewives of Atlanta cast mates...most notably Kenya Moore and former friend Cynthia Bailey . In a nutshell, Cynthia has changed and Kenya should be happy that anyone is even acknowledging her right now which NeNe usually doesn't like to do. And speaking of The Real , major kudos to the ladies for beating out former The View alum Meredith Vieira 's self-titled NBC talk show in "ratings". The Warner Bros. talk show featuring five ethnically diverse women has blasted out of the gate with a 0.7 rating among women 25-to-54 (the key daytime demo). That's is as good as or better than all of the half-dozen new entrants, including  Meredith Vieira 's talk show.   The Real   also is att...

NEW HAIR ALERT: Beyonce Debuts New Bangs In Paris

Image
Hmmm , maybe Blue got a hold of Beyonce 's wig and some scissors before there was time  to fix it or Mrs. Carter is trying a new style for your fav to try and steal next. The Carters were spotted arriving at the G are du Nord train station in Paris today. Although Bey's bangs are beyond noticeable I think Blue Ivy is the real star of these photos looking just like her Dad in his arms with her hair pulled back in an updo. I'm not going to say much more about those bangs Bey's rockin'. I'm sure it's a reason, hopefully not personal and not for too much longer. And that's all I'm going to say...

GYM MOTIVATION: Jennifer Lopez

Image
Do I even need to say it? As a matter of fact, don't go to the gym today. Results may very. We won't look like this anyway if we miss a day or two... Looking real good, Mama!!

SLOPPY SECONDS: Kylie Jenner Gets Some New Wheels Courtesy French Montana?

Image
What do you get when your sister and her leaching rapper boyfriend break up? A set of new wheels if you're sister is a Kardashian . From the looks of thangs Kylie Jenner is the proud new owner of the Jeep Wrangler Sahara French Montana gifted his then girlfriend her sister Khloe Kardashian with back in July for her 30th birthday.  Now that the two are publicly done Kylie has publicly begun whipping around town in the jeep. I'm of the honest opinion that the Kardashians not only swap their cars between one another, like the Mercedes G Wagons and Range Rovers for instance, but they're also probably loaners. I'm sure the lease will be up on this jeep before Kylie's legally able to date Tyga. This was a cute way to drum up publicity though...keep the 15 mins going!! I'll help them out a little as well...who gets to keep the emerald ring and gold grill (also birthday presents ) AND is this Diddy's jeep French simply tricked out? ...
