Kate Upton Is sizziling as Marilyn for Vanity Fair’s 100th Anniversary Episode!

Kate Upton is a modern-day Marilyn in lingerie and lipstick for Vanity Fair's 100th anniversary issueBy

Kate Upton has channeled her inner Marilyn Monroe for a special 100th anniversary edition of Vanity Fair.

On the cover, the 21-year-old supermodel, who was named 2013's Model of the Year yesterday, dons siren red lipstick, cascading blonde curls and a gold bodysuit, holding a cake lit with a candle in one hand.

Shot by famous photographer Annie Leibovitz, the stunning image marks just how far Miss Upton has come since appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2011.

Within the magazine, the blonde bombshell is pictured lounging on a crescent shaped moon, a photographic tribute to Vanity Fair's first ever cover illustration in 1913.

She puts her famous curves on show in a low-cut golden dress with a thigh-high slit and pointy white stilettos.

The event will celebrate her career thusfar, from being named Sports Illustrated's Rookie of the Year in 2011, to covering Brazilian and American Vogue - and now Vanity Fair - this year.

Her rise to stardom hasn't come without its difficulties, though.

Indeed, while she is one of the most coveted models now, Miss Upton was once slated by Victoria's Secret for her distinctive look.

The brand's model booker, Sophia Neophitou, was quoted in the New York Times saying Miss Upton was 'too obvious. She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and the kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.'

Not only has she proved she has what it takes to be a top model, but she has also recently showed off her acting skills.

The buxom blonde is set to appear alongside Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz in comedy film The Other Woman, which will be released in theaters in April 2014.

The October issue of Vanity Fair will hit newsstands on Today!

Reality Star Omarosa is now dating WWE Wrestler Titus O’Neal

That was quick! It looks like reality star Omarosa has finally found love after the death of her fiancee Michael Duncan Clark.

This past weekend blogger Twana Tellz spotted Omarosa and her new boo WWE wrestler Titus O’Neil hanging out in Orlando at the Tom Joyner Family Reunion. They looked like they were having a good time as they took in a few concerts and walked around the convention center holding hands and chatting with fans.

Omarosa was previously engaged to actor Michael Clarke Duncan, however he passed away last year on September 3rd after he went into cardiac arrest.

The word on the curb is Omarosa and Titus met last year in Orlando, at the Tom Joyner Family Reunion a day before Michael passed away. She was also feuding with his family because a few months before Micheal passed away he changed his will and made her the main beneficiary. And according to the family Micheal was not of sound mind when he made Omarosa his beneficiary…

Things that make you go hummmmmmmm!!!!!

Bravo’s Andy Cohen and Retired NHL Down Low Player Sean Avery “Engaged?”

First of all Andy Cohen is very private about his personal life and I see why, his beau Sean Avery who is a NHL hockey player is gay, but DL.. I guess the league didn’t know and if they did it was supposed to be hush, hush until now.  Sean used to date model Rachel Hunter and Alisha Cuthbert. A person in Sean Avery’s camp tipped information about Andy and Sean’s secret engagement and when Andy was asked on twitter if the engagement to Sean Avery was true he said this…

Here is Sean Avery with Elisha Cuthbert….  When they broke up he talked about her real bad stating that she talked too much and had a huge mouth, like who does that? Plus he was on the fashion police just giving off vibes.

But wait het this Andy already admitted to being a top on Wendy so that will make Sean a bottom. Omfg Andy Cohen A TOP????? LOLOL. All those women he dated . GURL BYE!

Terrence Howard jets out of LA amid new claims he threatened suicide during fight with ex-Wife

Terrence Howard was seen catching a flight out of Los Angeles on as new details in his current court case emerged.

The actor’s ex-wife Michelle Ghent was granted a temporary restraining order against him last month following an almighty row.

In a new filing, Ghent has claimed Howard threatened suicide during the dispute.

Ghent alleges that the argument began in a Toronto hotel room on April 23 after she questioned Howard upon finding six women’s phone numbers in his bag.

Ghent claims the 44-year-old threw her laptop out of a window and lifted her up by her clothing before slamming her back down to the ground.

According to the documents obtained by New York Daily News he threatened suicide and said: ‘I’m just thinking if I should kill you first before killing me.’

Ghent won the temporary restraining order amid claims Howard ‘sucker punched’ and ‘kicked’ her on June 29 during a fight in Costa Rica.

Howard denies the allegations and claims 36-year-old Ghent was the one who lost her temper during their holiday together.

Accused of cheating: It came after a row in April which started when Ghent found six phone numbers in Howard's bag

In his own statement, the Hustle & Flow star alleges: ‘(She) suddenly went crazy for no apparent reason, said “I told you not to f*** with me,” and she took out a canister of mace/pepper spray and proceeded to spray me with it.’

He goes on to claim that Ghent left while he was flushing out his eyes and she allegedly had no noticeable injuries when he saw her the next day.

In addition Howard claims Ghent timed her court filing in order to ‘ruin’ his reputation ahead of the release of his new movie The Butler.

Howard was in fact about to board a plane to Toronto when he was seen arriving at LAX on Tuesday.

The Oscar-nominee, who portrayed Nelson Mandela in 2011’s Winnie Mandela, was carrying a bag with a photograph of the icon printed on it.

He was also dressed smartly in a grey suit, white shirt and navy tie with white polka dots, along with mirrored aviator sunglasses.

According to TMZ, Inita believes that she has uncovered the money trail and Charles has Lupe moving in excess of $9 million to various bank accounts, and she is suing because she wants what’s rightfully hers.

Lupe’s lawyer responded to TMZ saying that Inita’s allegations will be proven to be wrong at trial. “There are no secret accounts and no illicit instructions.”

Michael Douglas Says He & Catherine Zeta-Jones “Are Fine” Amidst Divorce Rumors

Despite all those divorce rumors it seems, Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones are just fine.

In fact, it’s just what the actor stated while promoting his new film, ‘Behind the Candelabra’ in Germany

“I have a crisis at home? No, I think the press has a crisis,” Douglas told a reported.

He didn’t exactly dispel rumors of a separation, however. He adds,”We, we are fine. My wife and I are, are fine. We take a temporary separation, but the press, it gives you stuff to write about.”

So to further “clear” things up. The Douglas’ may or may not being headed to divorce.

Guess, the press didn’t exactly get this one wrong.

Ciara is interviewed in PAPER Magazine!

In the latest issue of PAPER Magazine "I'm Out" singer Ciara sat for a stylish photoshoot where she evoked a few "punk-meets-Donna-Reed looks" and talked about her close friendship with designer Riccardo Tisci and her work with the Givenchy fashion house (she rocked Givenchy to last night's VMAs).  And if she can't do anything else, this chick can rock a photoshoot.

Also, the "Body Party" singer chatted about making herself more transparent to her fans and shares how her spirituality has allowed her to become more comfortable about her career choices.  Here are the highlights:

On her rapper boyfriend Future:

"He's very understanding. And he's my best friend. It's important to have a feeling that you can talk about anything and know a person's going to be there and support you. When we're together, it's not about who we are. I feel very normal, very safe and loved.

On speaking about her relationship:

"Being able to speak about it is a whole different thing for me. I'm not thinking or caring too much about what anybody has to say anymore. Once you start over-thinking and worrying, you start getting close to insanity. I want my sanity and a life and happiness."

On her style choices:

"I don't wear a dress regularly....but even if I do, you have to put some attitude into it. I like a leather skirt, which gives you some toughness, but a feminine touch too. I like the androgynous thing with a hard edge: I make things rock 'n' roll -- but still pretty."

On her Ciara disc:

"The album is light and upbeat. There's a lot of love in it -- a lot of heart and passion. It reflects the spirit and energy that I'm feeling right now. What people are hearing is my true self-expression and the energy I'm living."

On letting her guard down:

"I thought it was better to be private. You need to live more. If you worry so much about things, your head is going to explode. Just live. Something has to give. I was holding back so much that I wasn't letting myself explore and live."

On the direction of her career:

"I'm making choices I feel good about. It definitely feels good to get love from my fans. I work so hard. I'm hoping to share with other young girls, and even men, to never give up. And I feel like my journey's just beginning. On this journey, there's much I haven't done. I still feel like a little kid. I still have my youthful energy and spirit. I'm super excited by my future."

Cute photoshoot  Fab.

Another Day, Another Chris Brown Twitter Rant!

 NEWS Don’t you just love when Chris Brown goes HAM on twitter? This time his rant was aimed at the “racist a**” Los Angeles District Attorney…who happens to be a Black woman.

Clearly, Breezy is pissed off! It was all good just a week ago when Chris’ hit and run case was dismissed but in order to have his probation reinstated the “Look At Me Now” singer had to agree to do an additional 1,000 hours of community service. Prosecutors believed Brown didn’t complete his initial 180 days of service stemming from his 2009 assault incident with Rihanna.

Brown has to complete his community service in Los Angeles, unlike last time when he had the option of doing it in his hometown in Virginia. Chris’ probation ends in August 2014. h/t Hip Holywood!

Nicki Minaj VS Iggy Azalea

Look all we do here at The Chronicles is CONJURER! Sometime back in May, Iggy Azalea was asked about Nicki Minaj's album "Pink Friday" in an interview with Sony Digital. And according to Sony, this is what Iggy Azalea had to say below:

"I could see both sides and I’m not saying it has to be that way, but it was very rigid in the way that it flipped between the two [sounds]. I like to make the music flow like a river – I’m like, ‘You have to listen to the album from track one to ten!”

Later, it was reported that Iggy Azalea had got heated with Sony Digital stating that they twisted her words. Fast forward to the present, and Nicki Minaj is featured on a Swizz Beatz track titled "Hands Up" which many are saying is a verse directly aimed at Iggy Azalea.

Take a listen to the song here: 

Hmmm? Could that snow bunny Nicki was referring to be Iggy? Lets no be racist Nicki!

According to Crazy Days and Nights:

Blind Items Revealed

June 4, 2013

Everyone thinks this C list celebrity with almost A list name recognition has reunited with someone from her past because of want. It is because of need. For the past year and a half she has been fighting off her uncle. The uncle would just take her out to go shopping, and then would kiss her and hug her at the end of the day. That progressed to taking her to lunch and holding her hand during it or taking her shopping for bras. They have gone to dinner and he even had her spend the night at a hotel room several times. In the past few months as she has matured, his advances have been getting stronger and stronger and she has no choice but to stay away.
