- Marchesa is launching a lower priced contemporary line with prices ranging from $150 to $750. [Styleite]

- Now that her body is allegedly back, Mariah Carey has turned to legendary bod-con designer Azzedine Alaïa to design an exclusive wardrobe for Mimi’s upcoming events. But for Mariah, an event can mean anything from an awards show to a trip to the laundo. Either way, she’ll be doing it in style. [Vogue.it]

- The fact that Linda Evangelista commands $100,000 for a runway appearance may explain why she laments that “There’s not a lot of demand” for her these days. [ELLE]

- That’s certainly not the case at this year’s Met Ball, however, where Evangelista will be the guest of the star of the show, Miuccia Prada. [Modelinia]

- In other Costume Institute Gala news, Elsa Schiaparelli‘s eponymous label is being relaunched with Farida Khelfa as brand ambassador, though the designer won’t be revealed till October. *cough* John Galliano. [Refinery29]

- Perry Capital is now the majority owner of Barneys New York after agreeing to reduced the luxury department store’s debt from a staggering $590 million to a far more manageable $50 million.

- Tyra Banks and Drake went on a date to Disneyland wearing disguises, but when has a fake mustache ever worked outside of a Bugs Bunny cartoon? But honestly, it would probably be more effective if Drake wore it next time. [Global Grind]

- France will soon have a new First Lady as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy‘s incumbent husband lost to Valerie Trierweiler‘s socialist candidate boyfriend. [Huff Post]

- Kris Jenner, the “World’s Greatest Mom” (now that Dina Lohan is…where is she again?) has decided to countersue the makers of Frownies, the anti-aging skincare line for which Jenner was supposed to be the lift-free face, after they initially sued her for getting a facelift for her daughter’s publicity stunt wedding. [Huff Post]

You can get a YOLO set a rings as well as tongue-in-chic phrases from the  WENDYB by Wendy Brandes collection.

Also if you have no idea what YOLO is (aka you live under a rock OR are over the age of 30) you should check out the vid below:

RiRi acknowledged her pot proclivity when she tweeted*, ”Kush rolled, glass full…I prefer the better things!” quoting Drake‘s opening lines from “Up All Night.” Her fans are also a bunch of stoners, it seems, as many responded quite positively with tweets along the lines of ” I wanna smoke a blunt wit @rihanna”, “lol she is so high ! love that girl” and “Island gal for real!!!!”

Being from the Barbados, Rihanna probably started  ingesting high levels of THC through her mother’s breast milk so it comes as no surprise that she likes to toke up, particularly on vacation. And it’s not like we have to worry about the smoke negatively impacting her voice since she can “oh-na-na” on — or at least near – key without really trying.

*Sidebar: Can we talk about how earlier that day Rihanna urged oher Twitter followers to “show some love” for Martin Luther King Jr. and then demonstrated said love by quoting Lil Kim lyrics? Rihanna is nothing if not a study in extremes. Extreme what, however, I’m not sure…

Among the precocious pissants are designers Joseph Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, Chris Benz, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Pamela Love; musicians Adele, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna and most of the Young Money roster — Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj; actors Chloe Moretz, Jennifer Lawrence and Community‘s Donald Glover; and hiding out in the media category is Tavi Gevinson. And while Jaden Smith made the cut, his hair-whipping, fireball-throwing sister, Willow, is nowhere to be seen. Other notable exclusions include Glee‘s leading ladies Lea Michele and Chris Colfer, as well as tween fashionistas Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld. Guess they weren’t being disruptive enough.

Nicki Minaj‘s latest single from her platinum Pink Friday, the mid-tempo jam “Moment 4 Life” features Nicki as Cinderella and rumored beau Drake as Nicki’s Prince Charming.  Nicki is a variety of looks, from fairy godmother to some couture-esque creation with a lot of bustle and a lot of cleavage. And like all fairy tales, they both live happily ever after, wedding and all.

Robyn’s video for “Bad Gal,” a bonus track from her Body Talk Pt. 2 EP, is a more subdued affair. The clip was filmed in the south of France and features adorable producers Savage Skulls and Douster of Diplo‘s Mad Decent label. The video sees Robyn gyrating in a body conscious dress and cut-out jean jacket while Skulls and Douster randomly gallivant about the French countryside.

Check out these stylish ladies work it out and try not to shake your body at least halfway to the ground.

A source tells Life & Style:

“Right after the clock struck midnight, Drake left his party at the W South Beach and dashed over to Nicki’s Moët & Chandon-sponsored bash at Mansion.”

They proceeded to dance and cuddle til 4 a.m. and were even spotted leaving together. Aww, cute!

Meanwhile, imagine what that wedding would be like; Lil Wayne officiating, Kanye as best man and a pink taffeta wedding gown that comes right below Nicki’s little Minaj.

Stunning.

If you’re at all like me (read: drunk), then you’re probably wondering “Where in gay hell is Robyn?” Well, luckily (or not depending on your view of winning a Grammy) our pop maven from Sweden is nominated for Best Dance Recording for “Dancing On My Own,” i.e. “The Best Song of 2010.”

The Grammys really don’t reflect what’s going on in music today therefore they don’t matter. Hell, I can’t remember the last time then was the Grammys did matter?

Oh, that’s right:

and obviously you know we’re kidding, although it isn’t Michael Cera…out of all the people on the  LIST they cho0se this guy? RYAN REYNOLDS.. um no, he doesn’t even fall under my mildly attractive list… and can’t even pull off the hot seductive look… gross, that’s all.

Do you hear the buzz building? Just weeks after dropping his first album, The Push, Shane Eli, the producer behind Diggy Simmons’ first single, is already commanding attention. Critics are raving over the album, which he wrote, recorded and produced entirely by himself out of his L.A apartment. Along with compliments are coming comparisons to another entrepreneurial rapper: Drake. At first glance it might seem like they look and sound the same, but for his first Swarm column, Eli digs a little deeper to show us that while both are talented, he offers something different.

I was born in Ottowa, Canada, and then I was out. My parents divorced soon after I was born and my mom raised me by herself. We had a lot of ties in the Bahamas, so we bounced back there. Then she got into a masters program in L.A, which is where I eventually grew up. She was doing it all. More than anything though, she developed a serious love of music in me. We had a wide range of influences in the house, from old-school vinyl records to more contemporary music. It inspired me to take my sound into a bunch of different directions.

I loved it music, but in the beginning I thought I might be a pro-athlete. I played sports my whole life, so it wasn’t until early college that I really started to fall in love with music. I recognized how it can take you the furthest and fastest emotionally. You can be in  a bad mood and be in a good mood again. It transforms you. At the same time I saw friends who played at school and didn’t make it into a pro-team just fall apart. They had nothing. I thought music would be a better outlet for me. It seemed like something you could create your whole life.

Find out what Eli has to say about his sound and Drake on the next page…

I can’t really stand hip hop and I really never listen to it, but if you let Travis Barker remix the song I’m in! The man is a genius when it comes to playing drums, and his rad drum set just makes him look even better.
