It’s OK to Be Fooled by the Rocks That She’s Got, Jenny’s Not Stepping Foot on the Block

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:53:20 +0000

A friend of mine always sees red whenever the Fiat 500 commercial with Jennifer Lopez comes on. As he puts it, ”Give me a break, bitch. Why don’t you just own the fact that you are not still ‘Jenny from the Block,’ that you have no clue where the hell this block is, but if you did you would buy it and burn it down?” Well turns out J.Lo used a body-double in that ad since she refused to go anywhere near the Bronx.

Crawling through the Boogie-Down, Lopez extols the virtues of her hometown and getting back to one’s roots — “They may be just streets to you, but to me they’re a playground.” – but in truth, those streets aren’t streets to her either. While her body double was braving the hood, La Lopez was comfortably sitting inside her Fiat some 3,000 miles away in Los Angeles. Thanks to some innovative post-production, no one was any the wiser.

But now that the fox-fur-trimmed cat is out of the Gucci bag, this only proves that you can take the diva out of the hood, but you can’t make that bitch go back without a body double, some digital manipulation and a multi-million dollar endorsement deal. [The Smoking Gun]

Bieber Outsmells the Competition

Turns out a lot of tween/teen-aged girls want Justin Bieber sprayed all over them. Breaking the bank with $3 million in sales in just 3 weeks, some are calling Bieber’s Someday the “most successful celebrity fragrance launch in history.” Sure, that someone is Selena Gomez, but still…

Someday is on track to become the number one selling ladyjuice of 2011. Karen Grant of market research group, NPD, even has the audactiy to liken it to other diva-fronted fragrances, claiming:

“We haven’t seen anything like it since [Jennifer Lopez’s] Glow and [Britney Spears’] Curious.”

Bieber also sacrilegiously broke Macy’s‘ previous celebrity scent sales record set by Beyoncé in February 2010 for Heat by finishing one week ahead at the $3 mil mark.

Ouch, B. Who run the world now? Biebs. [WWD]

Haley Werqs Lady Gaga on American Idol. Judges are Douches

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 05 May 2011 20:07:41 +0000

Last night, Haley Reinhart got me hot and bothered for Lady Gaga‘s new single You and I as she busted it out in that sultry tone of hers. It was a bold move, as this song hasn’t even hit the airwaves yet, but with Mother Monster’s personal blessing, she gave this tune its national debut. I could hear Gaga in every corner of the song, even though I’ve never heard the Lady sing it. Yet Haley totally owned her performance. I clapped in my living room. Instead of the expected “She’s in it to win it!” from Randy, the ever niceties of J.Lo, and the weirdly phrased praises from Steven Tyler, the three went around dissing her schtick. I watched shocked. Outraged! For shame. That girl is a monster!

How dare the judges bash Haley like that?! And whilst doing Mother Monster’s obvious bidding? Atrocious. The song choice was ballsy and impeccable.

In other Idol news, Jacob went oddly pitchy in the much anticipated No Air, but then took it to church on Love Hurts. James Durbin’s tears for Without You was only matched my my tears of him doing a slight injustice to Harry Nilsson. Though I’m no country fan, when Scotty hits those low panty dropping notes…. well… NO he’s only 16! But he worked that stage last night like a pro.

Meanwhile, Haley closed it down with her heart stopping rendition of House of the Rising Sun. Judges recognize.

Jennifer Lopez might be in another back up plan…the kind where you make a movie just in case your album fails miserably!

THE TEN: Best Celebrity Clothing Lines

Princess Glover — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:41:27 +0000

Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, having become so unreasonably commonplace that it might be safe to say you’re not a real star unless you manage to churn out one (though you couldn’t even dress yourself without the help of a professional). I’ll be the first to say leave it the ones who know what they’re doing, but I will also say that there have been a few, very few that not only have managed to stay relevant as far as fashion is concerned, but exemplifies the true spirit of design: originality, creativity and quality–a rarity amongst the famous. Here are the exceptions:

1. Elizabeth and James by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen- because they don’t try so hard.

2. L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani- the shoes are beyond dope.

3. J.Lo, Sweetface by Jennifer Lopez- even though Sweetface went belly up, she’s the one that started it all, and don’t act like you’ve never owned (or wanted to own) at least one pair of her jeans or one of those ghetto fabulous velour sweatsuits. Guilty.

4. Kate Moss for Topshop- a fashionista’s wet dream

5. House of Harlow by Nicole Richie- hate the girl, love the jewelry.

6. Benjamin Bixby by Andre 3000- gettin his grown man on.

7. Twenty8Twelve by Sienna Miller- Does she still qualify as a celebrity? Nonetheless spring/summer 09 is looking pretty good…

8. Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony- hipster chic at its finest.

9. The Victoria Beckham Collection- this shameless clotheshorse knows her shit.

10. William Rast by Justin Timberlake- I think we were all surprised that this didn’t turn out as bad as we had assumed.

SPREAD UM: Vanity Fair Celebrates West Side Story’s Return to Broadway

Amanda Gabriele — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:00:10 +0000

I absolutely adore this spread. Vanity Fair always thinks of the most clever little ways to show off fashion. To celebrate the return of West Side Story to Broadway (which I’m so excited about, by the way), the magazine shot this spread as a tribute to the musical. It stars Camilla Belle (as Maria), JLo (as Anita), Rodrigo Santoro (as Bernardo), Chris Evans (as Riff) and Ben Barnes (as Tony). Others including Brittany Snow, Jay Hernandez, Robert Pattinson, Ashley Tisdale and Drake Bell make cameos throughout. Great musical, great fashion and great line-up for this spread have made me very happy. Now if only I could get “I feel pretty” out of my head.
