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!!!!!

Kanye West Makes 3 Million Dollars As The Wedding Singer

We all know Kanye is rich but he just got richer over the holiday weekend. Word on the curb is he was paid 3 million dollars for 1 event! But guess where the event was….Kazakhstan!

According to a TMZ source Kanye West was invited by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to perform at his grandson’s wedding reception over the weekend  in Almaty at the Hotel Royal Tulip.

North West daddy hit the stage and performed some of his biggest hits while the wedding guests posed for pictures in front of the stage. I guess they were more concerned with posting pictures on Instagram than Yeezy’s great performance.

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.

Lupe Wrapped Up In Drug Lord’s Soap Opera Fiasco!

Lupe Fiasco has been getting a lot of media attention lately, and its hasn’t been about his music career. Lupe is now on the receiving end of a lawsuit from a convicted drug kingpin’s estranged wife.

The wife, Inita Patton, has boldly stated that Lupe is a cohort to the drug lord, Charles Patton, and is hiding millions of dollars from her to swindle her out of gaining too much out of the pending divorce.

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.”

How special: Ciara and Future Buy Matching 2014 Bentleys

His and hers Bentleys now, can’t even imagine what’s next. Guess they can’t be like the rest of us normal folks and get matching bracelets.

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.

Perhaps, he shouldn’t have answered the question.

Andre Leon Talley To Vanity Fair: I DO NOT “Identify” As GAY!

CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! 

Andre Leon Talley Tells VANITY FAIR He DOES NOT “Identify” As GAY? Amongst Other things!

Andre Leon Talley opened up to VANITY FAIR for their September issue (HUGE deal) about his long tenure in the fashion world including his legendary stint at VOGUE and his current position at Numero Russia.  He’s also very candid about his love life, revealing that he’s never been in love with a man, but has loved two women.  Well, that’s shocker for ya.  One was a fellow student in Providence and the other a society woman whom he fell in love after a night of dancing.  

He also revealed he had “very gay experiences.”  Whatever falls under that category…

Here are the other highlights, and yes, he brings up race in the fashion world…..

On being single:  

“I just said to a friend, ‘I can create this magic, so why don’t I have a lover?’” But he adds…..“if I was a couple, I wouldn’t like to stay in the same bedroom. It is very un-chic in Europe to sleep in the same bedroom.”

On fashion advice for women:

“The world has become too casual, and people have become lazy. There was a time when people went on the airplane with gloves. It’s about gloves, O.K., darling? It’s about gloves. Listen.”

On if he identified himself as a gay man while growing up:

“No, no, no. I was just into my magazines and the drawings. I had a very strict upbringing, almost puritanical. I lived there all the way through college. I was in my grandmother’s house, and I respected that!”

On dating in the industry:

“I’ve had very gay experiences, yes, I swear on my grandmother’s grave that I never slept with a single designer in my life. Never, ever desired, never was asked, never was approached, never, ever bought, in my entire career. Never. Not one. Skinny or fat. Never.”

On his friendship with Anna Wintour:

“I wouldn’t have stayed at Vogue as long as I did without Anna being there. She was my biggest ally. There could not have been another way.”

On his weight:

“I do not weigh myself. I do not want to get on that scale. I only know what I weigh from the way my clothes fit. The people who are really close to me and know me have stopped bringing my weight up. They probably discuss it behind my back, some of them, in the fashion world. I have never felt less of a person because of my dramatic weight gain. Up or down, my confidence and sense of self never wavered.”

On whether race has affected his career:

“People stereotype you. What person of color do you know who’s in a position like that, be it a man or a woman, unless it’s Essence magazine?”

Solange Shows Off Chic Summer Style For Net-A-Porter’s “The Edit” + Talks Inspiration From Beyonce, Style & Her Career

Solange takes in the sunshine, on the cover of Net-A-Porter’s The Edit. With her long braids blowing in the Croatian breeze, the “Losing You” singer rocks pieces from designers like Emilio Pucci, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Saint Laurent, as she takes over the cover and pages of the digital magazine’s Vacation Issue.

Inside, she talks her career; touching on how having a close-up view of her big sis Beyoncé has helped mold her as a performer. She dishes on style, in general, as well as hers while at Glastonbury, where she performed. Plus, she shares if she received any tips from her sister or brother-in-law, Jay-Z - who both rock’d performances at Glastonbury themselves – prior to her time on stage.

On defining an identity outside of her sister Beyonce:

I don’t think any part of myself as an artist has ever had a moment of…intentional execution. It’s all just been an evolution. I’ve been able to watch such an incredible performer as my sister close-up. It’s molded me. And now I’m letting my son watch me.

On the importance of style:

Style in anything is very important. It’s how we express our individuality, who we are and what we believe in. It’s all a reflection of who I am.

On her & her entourage’s hot style while performing at muddy Glastonbury:

That’s just because we’re Americans, and we didn’t know the real deal – Glastonbury is not Coachella! [Laughs] We did not know the proper dress code….By the third hour there, I was wanting Wellington boots! It was amazing.  It’s a really unique environment. Everyone was so incredibly spirited and happy to be there. I dropped my phone and someone came and gave it back to me later!

On whether she received any tips from Bey or Jay prior to her Glastonbury performance:

You know, we actually never even talked about it. But both of them had such incredible, iconic Glastonbury performances – I was really proud of them. And I thought that Jay opening with [Oasis’ song] Wonderwall was pretty kick-a–!

Pilar Sanders Lands Role on New Reality Show, ‘Atlanta Exes’

The dirty south continues to be the HUB for all things reality TV and this week, proves it even more. As you know, all things reality TV live, breathe and shine in Atlanta, GA. Shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and ‘Married 2 Medicine‘ have propelled in the popular city. This week, we (along with a number of other outlets) shared news of a brand, spankin’ new spin-off to VH1′s ‘Hollywood Exes‘. Titled (obviously) ‘Atlanta Exes‘, two cast members Tameka Raymond (ex-wife of Usher Raymond) and Christina Johnson (ex-wife of Cee Lo Green) are rumored to be on the show, along with Sheree Buchanan (ex-wife of Falcon’s player Ray Buchanan), Kim Elba (ex-wife of Idris Elba), Monica Ambrose (ex-wife of former NFL’er Ashley Ambrose) and Monyetta Shaw (ex-fiance of singer NeYo).

But guess who has ALSO snagged a seat on ‘Atlanta Exes’?None other than Pilar Sanders, the wife of ex NFL’er Deion Sanders. We’ve been sitting on this ‘skinny’ tryna stalk and confirm our inside sources (who we had to beg, plead and torture for the dets LOL). Anywho, rumor has it that the recently divorced mother is currently in negotiations w/ her contract. Our sources also claim that obviously, she’ll be with viewers life after her tumultuous divorce and how’s bouncing back, full throttle from their marriage.

Reality TV is nothing new to Pilar, as she’s done stints on ‘Football Wives’ and did the show with her ex hubby Deion called ‘Prime Time Love’. What’s more? Deion has ALSO landed a non-scripted show on OWN called ‘It’s Prime’s Time‘, which will have a few cameos from his GF, Tracey Edmonds.

To date, no official description for ‘Atlanta Exes’ has yet been released. Stay tuned as we continue to ear hustle and celebrity stalk (on your behalf of course!). BTW, would Pilar be a good fit for the show and are you interested in seeing her again on reality TV?

Female Model/Rapper Puts Jay Z on Blast for Trying To Hit On Her For A Come Up?

Meet Rapper Liv a Model/Rapper who is doing an interview discussing the industry and how people get down.. Now she spills the beans on how Jay Z tried to make her one of his side pieces for when he comes into town, but she turned him down. Now she is putting the business out there for all to find out, but why? it’s around the 6 minute part she stated that Jay said he will reach her when he gets into town, but she got all of that out of him wanting to have sex? Why must people hate on the carters so much? Every relationship has their issues, no one is perfect, but why side pieces are getting so out of pocket. 

Check theinterview HERE.

If she knows how ruthless the game is, then she should have no problem expecting not to ever get put on anywhere. Good that she has dignity, but her need to run her mouth will cost her. That’s how ruthless the industry can be.

Love Is In The Air Mitches!!!: Kevin Hart And His Boo Thang Celebrate Their 4 Year Anniversary In Fiji… HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?

It’s really been 4 years… wait a minute! Sounds like some overlapping to us.

Little human Kevin Hart is chillin’ over in Fiji with his girlfriend Eniko Parrish celebrating what he says is their 4 year anniversary?!? Hold up… He filed for divorce in 2011 and they just finalized it…

Something’s not right, lets do the math! In a recent interview, Kevin Hart’s ex-wife, Torrei, explained why they even got a divorce in the first place.

I told him if divorce is something that he really wants, because I’m not going to sit around and wait for you to sell your oats, and think that you can run around town and then come back to me. I’m not that type of woman either. So I said ‘If you really want a divorce, I think you should file the divorce. File the papers.’ And he did that about a year and a half later, he finally filed the papers. And I guess I kind of pushed him to file the papers, because it’s either you’re going to file, or you’re gonna you know, come back home….

Let’s take a look at this timeline shall we:

1. Torrei expressed for Kevin to file for a divorce in 2009.

2. Kevin finally filed in 2011.

3. In 2013 the divorce is finalized.

Now Kevin is in Fiji with his new love celebrating their Four Year Anniversary… Does that make Eniko a home wrecker?!? We smell home wrecker…

Hello… is Gabrielle Union in, oh she’s busy at the moment, we’ll hold?!? We always felt that Kevin stepped out strong with a new love so quick after just filing for divorce. We were thinking… that’s a really long time to hold on to a rebound chick and come to find out, she wasn’t a rebound after all. Eniko patiently sat and waited her turn and now she’s in Fiji.

Kevin Hart just gave a lot of mistresses that “Pretty Woman” hope!

SAY WHAAATT?: JACKIE LONG HINTS ABOUT A SEQUEL TO ATL
