Nosee Rosee

Photographed by Caitlin Cronenberg. The art themed issue of W magazine teamed up with Drake who they deem their "muse" for the issue. Recently, Drake has become involved with the art world: He was commissioned by  Sotheby’s , in New York, to create a soundtrack for an exhibition and private sale of works by important African-American artists, including  Theaster Gates ,  Wangechi Mutu , David Hammons , and  Jean-Michel Basquiat , at the auction house. “The art at Sotheby’s moved me like a song would,” Drake said. “I saw music in those paintings. I now try to treat each single as a piece of art. I try to attach the sound that I’m making to an image in my mind.” Lynn Hirschberg:  What was it like being a muse for this project for  W? Drake:  It’s the first time I’ve ever been a “muse,” but I’m used to collaborating. Curiosity is the best part of working with any kind of artist. You want to see how somebody else’s process works. It’s like l...

New York magazine has made a bold attempt to once again, like many others, publicly charge Bill Cosby with the rape of over 46 women. Of those 46 women 35, including models Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickerson, are featured on the cover of the magazine's latest issue with one empty chair said to represent the women who can't tell their story. All 35 women were interviewed individually and not only share the same alleged rapist but their stories are all said to be similar in nature. Below are two GRAPHIC stories told by two of Cosby's accusers...and they are as stated very similar in nature. Barbara Bowman met Cosby through her agent allegedly in 1985 when she was 17: "I felt like a prisoner; I felt I was kidnapped and hiding in plain sight," she tells the magazine. "I could have walked down any street of Manhattan at any time and said, 'I'm being raped and drugged by Bill Cosby,' but who the hell would have believed me? Nobody, nob...

I mean, Tina Knowles Lawson , celebrates her red hot July cover of Ebony magazine with a champagne toast hosted by the mag in Los Angeles. Alongside the cover star was her husband and actor Richard Lawson . At the glamorous age of 61 Miss Tina served up a pitcher full of sexy for the July 2015 cover story. Inside the mag she gave us insight to what we could expect to see in a couple decades from her pop star daughter looking understandably like  Beyonce all   while donning outfits some 20-year-olds couldn't pull off. Miss Tina is no doubt #foreversexy!

Kim Kardashian is giving us old face Kim on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stones magazine. Inside the magazine she talks about the many aspects of her life to include her family of course. One touchy subject turned sour was when Kim spoke of younger brother, Rob Kardashian , who has been in "hiding" for a few years due to what the family says is embarrassment for an abundant amount of weigh gain. Check out what Kim had to say about her MIA brother and what she believes to be his issue. Kim says her brother Rob exited the spotlight because he got heavier. "It's not that mysterious, what's happening with Rob," Kardashian says. "He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and that's OK. Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes." I wonder how Robby will feel to know that his sister still isn't that sympathetic to his issues and also ...

The Lyon brother's from Fox's hit show ' Empire ' are covering the sizzling June 2015 issue of Essence magazine . I don't care if y'all judge me but Jussie Smollett , Bryshere Gray and Trai Byers all look sexy as HAYLE on this cover. I've begun to hate Tuesdays ever since the season finale of  ' Empire '...but this cover shot will do for now.

Who is this woman and what has happened to Messy Wendy ? Wendy Williams is a prime example of how a quick zip of the lips can make a world of a difference in not only your personality but appearance as well. This is by far Wendy's best look ever . Maybe it's Ebony's glam squad, some airbrushing and that fact that she is not talking which makes this look timelessly gorgeous either way it's GORGEOUS. Do I even want to know what she is talking about in this mag? Nope. Let's not ruin a good thing... You can grab Wendy's May cover issue this Friday, April 24.

Taraji P. Henson , who will probably be known as Cookie for years to come now, graces the cover of Uptown magazine's Hollywood issue where she dishes on her role as Cookie Lyon on Lee Daniel 's hip hop drama on Fox ' Empire '. In the article, Cookie takes over mostly but the bubbly DC native does offer us some classic Taraji even dishing on her life in Chicago with her cast mates. “This is the happiest I’ve ever been in my career,”  Taraji P. Henson  says from her temporary residence in Chicago—the city where Hollywood mogul Lee Daniels tapes Fox Network’s new record-breaking series,  Empire , which he created and brought to Henson. “The cast is family. Bryshere [Gray] is always over here rattling through my pots and Jussie [Smollett] came over here the other day and spilled red wine all over my area rug,” she laughs. “I wake up the next morning, come out here and Gabby had told him to put salt on it. Salt is everywhere!” “I played a lot of characters that...

With the season two premiere of BET's ' Being Mary Jane ' set to premiere early in February I'm gearing up for an abundance of all things Gabrielle Union  kicking things off with the February cover of Uptown Magazine. Inside the issue Gabrielle Monique Union is candidly hilarious as usual while also providing great imagery for the mag. Union speaks on moving back to California one day, her collard greens, the idea of not having children one day and why she lives so below her means. “I feel like Dwyane provides for us in Miami and I should provide for us in L.A. I bought a really great house and we’re remodeling. What I wanted is really in Bel-Air, but I have a deep Valley budget, so I’m there,” says Union of her real estate realities. “I got a lot of what I wanted, but I had to reevaluate my priorities.” “[My] collard greens have pork, not this new age Negro-like turkey neck shit, and [for my] honey cornbread, I add, a half a thing of honey to the Jiffy m...

Oh it's just another day at the office for Rihanna as the covergirl for Esquire UK's December issue which also means another reason to show off her naked body. In this food and drink special issue Rihanna dishes about a few of her favorite recipes including shepherd's pie and rum punch. Check out Rihanna and all her sexiness draped in little to nothing paired (at times) with granny pannies .

Sitting pretty in the her true beauty, Kerry Washington is the cover girl for November's Allure magazine. CARTER SMITH/ALLURE 😊 Thank u for your awesome feedback on the @Allure_magazine cover! Cant wait for u 2 c & read the inside! Feels very vulnerable. Very... me. — kerry washington (@kerrywashington) October 17, 2014 Kerry's serving that morning after Olivia Pope face and we love it.

This chick, Cara Delevigne , is really growing on. Before I figured she was typical young hot supermodel it girl of the moment who happens to rub shoulders with some of Hollywood's hottest celebs but that's sorta changing. British model Cara can be seen on the cover of October's Best of Beauty Allure magazine issue while totally nude serving model face. The more and more Cara is shoved down my throat (for work) I am beginning to notice how model perfection she is. Not only can I not open a magazine without her face representing some high end brand but she's picture perfect gorgeous. Her looks are classic of a supermodel with the distinction of her dark brows separating her from the rest. Of course the first thing we asked about was the brows. For the record, our October cover model, Cara Delevingne, does exactly nothing on the average day, except "make sure they are there." And for a big night out? "I use an eyebrow comb and eyebrow ge...

Beyonce flicked it up for former Vogue Paris EIC Carine Rotitfeld 's most recent CR Fashion Book issue.

I n case you didn't know Bey wrote a poem (he made her statements into a poem) with  poet and Pulitzer Prize finalist Forrest Gander aptly titled Bey The Light which is featured in this fifth issue of the  fashion book.

What a seductive cover with a random pairing. In this month’s  cover story , writer Ericka Blount Danois caught up with  Common  who recently released his 10th album,  Nobody’s Smiling . The rapper-actor touched on his sex-symbol status (he’s not working at it), Serena Williams (he really loved her) stopping the violence in Chicago (he’s a soldier) and where he fits in music today (he feels like a new artist).   But before we jump into the world of Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. , check out the making of this sizzling hot cover shot on location at  The EWOW Penthouse Suite at The W Times Square –  plus a special message from Common and Selita Ebanks.   I was wondering why the hell Selita was on the cover...they look great together tho. Mmmmm hmmmm ... Source

Michelangelo Di Battista My fav of fav actresses Julia Roberts has the honor of being InStyle magazine's September 2014 cover girl where she is also serving as guest editor. Every year, choosing a star to grace  InStyle ’s September  task  but this year’s selection had a special significance: The issue officially celebrates the magazine’s 20th anniversary.
