Mariah Carey’s Gained Confidence from Precious
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Style,
Mariah Carey thinks playing a dowdy social worker has boosted her self-confidence.
The singer - who is married to Nick Cannon and was previously wed to record company chief Tommy Mottola until 1997 - shed her glamorous image for her role in Precious and says having to spend hours in front of a camera with heavy lighting and no make-up makes her feel more comfortable with staying natural at home.
“I think it was crucial to dress down. It was tough because making music videos is so different with the costumes, the angles, the lighting, stuff like that,” she explained. “In Precious, we sat in a fluorescent dentist’s office and it was the worst-lit scene of the movie. The over-lighting emphasizes the dark stuff under your eyes. I guess now I’ll feel better about myself when I’m dressed normally at my house and walk past a mirror and see myself. I’ll be like, well I’ve looked worse.”

High-Maintenance Mom Victoria Beckham
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Clothing, Style, Rumors,
International fashionista Victoria Beckham used to spend two hours getting ready to take her sons to school.
The singer-turned-fashion designer - who has children Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, seven and four-year-old Cruz with her soccer star husband David Beckham - insisted on sticking to an elaborate grooming routine in order to look her best when performing everyday tasks in Los Angeles.
A source said, “She was spending over two hours getting ready, just to take the kids to school!”
However, the 35-year-old star has now embraced a more relaxed dress sense during the day time to help her avoid the constant media scrutiny.
“You wouldn’t believe what a difference it’s made to her life. Cooling her love affair with high heels has been the latest big development. She still cares about her image, but it was becoming a real burden. At first, it was hard for her to accept that in Hollywood, A-list stars go out of their way to dress down to avoid attention. Only wannabes dress up to try and generate interest in themselves. In many ways, she was undermining her credibility with the locals. She just didn’t fit in.”
From now on, Victoria has vowed to take a more laid back approach to her appearance. The friend added, “Victoria doesn’t regret the way she looked, but by the same token she certainly doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of what she calls the ‘Posh and Becks days.’”

Questionable Outfit of the Day: Kanye West’s Girlfriend Amber Rose
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Clothing, Fashion Police, Style,
Hey, Amber Rose! Rose McGowan - you know the other Rose - called from the 1998 Video Music Awards and she wants her look back.
I’m not sure if Kanye West is still looking to maintain a low profile, but appearances like this one with his girlfriend sure won’t help.
My question is: If you’re going to wear something that tacky, why even bother with the nude bodysuit?

Ashley Greene Finds Being a Role Model Scary
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Clothing, Style, Meltdowns, Rants,
Ashley Greene had a “mini-breakdown” over the scrutiny her wardrobe received.
The 22-year-old actress admits she still feels uneasy that fans of the The Twilight Saga - in which she plays Alice Cullen - view her as a role model but refuses to put on an act to please other people.
“There was a moment in time where I was kind of having this mini-breakdown because it was all very new, and it was all being thrown at me really quickly, and I was going, ‘Why are people reporting on this? Why do people care what I’m wearing or what I’m eating, and why are people looking down on me because I’m not wearing high heels?’ That’s the downside to being in the public eye. When girls come up and say, ‘You’re my role model,’ it’s really flattering, but it’s also really scary because I’m not perfect and I’m going to make mistakes. I’ve just decided that I have to continue to live my life and do what I do. Hopefully, people love me because of who I am, not who I pretend to be.”
The actress was working as a waitress when she landed the role and is still amazed at how quickly her life changed because she hasn’t yet had time to reflect on her success.

Curvy Shakira claims she owes her sexy figure to chocolate.
The singer sticks to a strict healthy eating and fitness regime to stay in shape, but says it’s crucial to treat yourself to your favorite foods on occasions.
“I think it is important that you are in balance. I really like to eat, I love chocolate and all kinds of sweets. I’m absolutely addicted to it.”
Shakira, 32, also revealed she is constantly changing as a person and if her new album She Wolf seems to be focused on sex, it’s because she is a more sexual person than she was in her 20s. The pop beauty - who is engaged to Antonio de la Rua - added to German newspaper Bild, “I think that’s how life works: You’re changing and you’re constantly looking for an improved version of yourself. In my life there is one fixed constant - the connection between my music and soul. My performances are always an expression of how I feel. If I appear at the moment more sensual than before it is because this aspect plays a greater role in my life than a decade ago. I’m a woman and I think that this femininity is reflected in my new album.”

Coordinated Look of the Day: Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Clothing, Style,
It appears that Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) and Joshua Jackson (Fringe) have taken a page out of Halle Berry’s book.
Although the two weren’t exactly color-coordinated (it wasn’t bad though), the pair did obviously shop from the same fedora rack before entering LAX yesterday.
What is that saying again—the couple that flies together must come off the airplane looking like they are together?

Cindy Crawford Prefers to be MILF Over Cougar
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Pregnancies, Style, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Cindy Crawford wants to be a “MILF.”
The 43-year-old supermodel - who is married to Rande Gerber - hopes people still think she’s sexy, even though she is now mother to two children, Presley, 10, and Kaia, 7.
“I don’t want to be a cougar, I want to be a MILF. I hate that word cougar and what it represents. MILF is a word I absolutely love. I like that tag because I think there is a worry for all models that the moment you have kids the perception of you is going to change.”
A MILF is an abbreviated slang term used to describe a sexy woman who has children. Cindy says her personality has been affected by the aging process and doesn’t believe people find her as attractive as they once did.
“Age can be daunting, but you can’t stop it. I know 20-year-old guys don’t look at me anymore. I don’t feel it like I used to. I remember walking down streets in New York at the height of my modeling career, my hair up, and all the construction guys would go crazy. It’s different now.”

Not only does Rihanna enjoy taking nude pictures, but she also enjoys randomly walking around her house in her birthday suit!
The “Hard” singer recently admitted that a few rumors regarding her pool guy catching her in the buff are true:
“Oh my God! These are all true rumors. I don’t, like, flaunt my stuff to him. I just have no idea what day it is ever, so I never remember what day he comes and I’m always just walking around my house. He comes one day a week. I’m never in LA so when I come, I’m not thinking, ‘There’s a pool guy that’s going to come.’ I come in, go to the refrigerator, grab a bottle of coconut water and then I turn around and it’s like, frozen. Freeze.”
What was Chris Brown thinking? His loss and the pool man’s gain!
