We Found 12 Moschino Runway Looks On Actual Barbies From eBay

by 1 min ago

We were only told one thing before seeing Moschino’s spring/summer 2015 show tonight in Milan: “Think pink.” Welp, that ended up being the understatement of the century. Creative Director Jeremy Scott designed an entirely Barbie-themed collection that nailed the doll’s signature look down to every last detail. From the voluminous platinum blond hair to the statement handbags to the solid stilettos, Jeremy stayed true to the ’80s and ’90s generations of Barbs in every way possible.

For the show, he even created his own Moschino doll that was an exact replica of the opening look, which totally got us thinking: haven’t we seen some of these other looks on Barbie before? After a long (longggg) deep dive into the depths of eBay, the answer is resounding “yes.” Check out some vintage Barbies who totally sported these ensembles in years past (and when you’re done, you can swipe ’em up at Moschino.com!).

This head-to-toe, classic pink pencil-skirt-and-jacket look is giving us some serious Elle Woods vibes, and we like it. (Bruiser would probably agree.)

Dang, are we seeing double? These metallic twinsies are glowing in all-gold pieces paired with a pale pink lip.

We have to admit this gold trench and black mini dress ensemble is pret-ty dead on. Well, minus the fact that one is for humans and one is not.

Iranians Arrested For ‘Happy’ Video Sentenced To Six Months In Jail And 91 Lashings

by 2 mins ago

Back in May of this year, six Iranians were arrested for making a video of themselves dancing around the city of Tehran to Pharrell‘s irresistibly upbeat song “Happy.

The video was deemed to be offensive because men and women appeared together and the women were unveiled. The group was arrested, and the government forced them to apologize for the clip on state television. The nonprofit International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran explained that they were considered guilty for “participation in the making of a vulgar clip” and “illegitimate relations between members of the group.”

Now, they have been formally charged for the crime. The Iran Wire reports that their punishment, which was issued on Wednesday (September 17), is six months in prison and 91 lashings. One member, assumed to be video’s director, was given the increased sentence of a year in prison plus the lashings.

However, there is a catch: the sentence is a suspended one, which means as long as they don’t commit a similar offense within the next three years, their punishments won’t actually be carried out.

“A suspended sentence becomes null and void after a certain period of time,” the group’s lawyer Farshid Rofugaran told Iran Wire. “When it’s a suspended sentence, the verdict is not carried out, but if during this period a similar offense is committed, then the accused is subject to legal punishment and the suspended sentence will then be carried out as well.”

For his part, ...

Here’s The Recipe For A Perfect Marriage, Courtesy Of ‘Snack-Off”s Chrissy Teigen And John Legend

by 24 mins ago

With nine Grammys and a smattering of high-fashion editorials between them, there’s no denying that John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are a Renaissance couple. But does their artistry extend into the kitchen, too?

On tonight’s “Snack-Off” celebrity episode, judge Chrissy watched intently as her hubby competed against the likes of Melanie Iglesias and Big Black for a $1,000 prize for charity. John put up a good fight and wowed the judges with his made-from-scratch “Sloppy John,” but his Butterfinger-battered fried chicken ultimately fell short, and it was Big Black who took home the Golden Spork in the final round.

Though John had to settle for second best, it was very clear throughout the competition that he and Chrissy had a flavorful rapport — and hey, when you’ve got a smart, clever supermodel wife to console you, you could certainly do worse. Look back at the couple’s recipe for romance below, and tell us your favorite part of the celeb episode!

Your Old Droog Blows ‘Secondhand Gunsmoke’ On New Track

by 26 mins ago

Timing is everything.

So Your Old Droog is striking while the iron is still hot with his latest release, “Secondhand Gunsmoke.”

The Coney Island rapper premiered the Superblack-produced track on Sway’s Shade 45 morning show Thursday (September 18).

Not surprisingly, Droog rides the nostalgic bass line with lyrics that highlight his dexterity with metaphor and prose that lives up to all the previous comparisons to Nas.

“Who am I? The relative unknown, who killed 8,000 birds with one stone/Who you? Son you just a waste of breath, and I don’t give a eff,” he raps.

For more from Droog, check out his video “Just Rhymin’ With Skizz” that proved once and for all he was not Nas.

Listen To Prince Get Funky On New Single ‘FUNKNROLL’

by 10 mins ago

Whenever Prince releases a new song, it’s a sonic event.

His latest, “FUNKNROLL,” is no different.

The uptempo track finds the Purple One at his funkiest, crooning about what else, having a good time.

“Finally beloved we meet at last, middle of the here, never mind the past/ Only way to get you where you never been, is party like you ain’t gonna party again,” he sings.

As much as the Planet Earth singer delivers during each verse, it’s the chorus that really takes the “feel good” up a notch.

“Let’s funk / Let’s roll / Get it turned up, get it out of control / Get into the rhythm, it’s good for the soul,” he sings.

“FUNKNROLL” is the third single to be released from Prince’s upcoming LP, ART OFFICIAL AGE, which is set to drop on September 30.

Connie Britton’s Hair Is Adorably ’80s In This College Throwback Picture

by 23 mins ago

Well, thanks to a Senator Kirsten Gillibrand we officially have the best throwback pic of Connie Britton in existence.

In a strange twist, Connie aka Coach’s Wife on “Friday Night Lights” and spotlight-stealing powerhouse Rayna Jaymes on “Nashville” was once college roommates with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

Gillibrand recently published her memoir Off The Sidelines that reflects on her experience as a woman in the Senate, but this adorable ’80s pic is from way before Gillibrand ever walked the halls of the Senate.

The photo is taken from the pages of that book, the pair attended Dartmouth together and the picture is from their time studying abroad in Beijing, China.

And Connie had nothing but kind words for her former roomie.

“I’m so intensely proud of her and it’s really inspiring to watch her because I do know what a powerhouse she is,” Britton told Huffington Post Live about Senator Gillibrand. “She was like that when we were living in China together. She was already at that time a real leader amongst our students there and, you know, almost larger than life — even back in college.”

But maybe that’s the best thing about this photo, it shows both of these strong, talented women back when they were just two normal college girls. But is Connie ever going to live this haircut down?? It’s definitely a contrast to her current, flawless Nashville-diva ‘do—Connie Britton’s hair even has ...

Nicki Minaj Will Be ‘Controlling’ Trey Songz In ‘Touchin, Lovin’ Video

by 13 mins ago

When Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj teamed up for “Touchin, Lovin,” from the R&B singer’s recent album Trigga, we got exactly what we expected: a dope collaboration. But it sounds like what the video will offer is a bit unexpected.

“We actually have an extra surprise in the video, where there’s an interactive feature,” Trey told MTV News recently when we visited him on set. “I know my fans are very engaged on the computer and very much social savvy, so when we give them options to watch the video, I’m sure they’ll watch it probably 20 times when you realize you can go this way, that way, this way.”

It sounds like a concept that we haven’t really seen before in a music video, and the clip’s director, Jason Zada, thinks it’ll be something that fans love.

“This idea of all your fantasy choices available to you at any point in time, it was kind of this really great way of sort of personifying all these fantasies that we all have floating around in our heads,” he said.

And while we don’t see Nicki in these behind-the-scenes shots, she will definitely be in the video — playing a special role.

“Nicki’s playing the dominant figure,” Trey added. “She’s basically controlling my dreams. And each portion of what you see is what it is she wants to happen.”

When the two first collaborated four years ago, they delivered “Bottoms Up,” a track that jumped to #1 on the Billboard ...

This Lyric Video Will Help You Keep Up With Eminem On ‘Guts Over Fear’

by 7 mins ago

As Eminem has proven time and again, he’s one of the best lyricists of all-time. And whether he’s singing, like he did back on “Hallie’s Song,” or rapping at a frenetic — and, at times, nearly indecipherable — pace, like he did on “Rap God,” his words are worth catching.

He made that process a lot easier on Thursday (September 18), with the release of a lyric video for his latest single, “Guts Over Fear,” featuring Sia.

Though it’s not Em at his toughest to keep up with, the track does get a bit of a new life when the rhymes can come off the page (or, actually, the screen), like they do here. Navigating an animated cityscape, the Detroit native’s syllables bounce, bend and float, crossing streets and scaling buildings.

The song was not only included in the trailer to the new Denzel Washington film “The Equalizer,” but it also serves as the lead single for the upcoming Shady Record album, Shady XV, which is due out on November 24.

Taylor Swift And Lorde Have Melded Minds And Become One

by 24 mins ago

You know that moment when you and your best friend start finishing each other’s sentences and planning how you’ll be little old ladies together, laughing on wicker rocking chairs as you stroke your cat’s fur on the porch of a lovely cottage while watching the sun set through your garden of dreams? Now you know how Lorde and Taylor Swift feel.

The pop starlettes engaged in possibly the most bizarre-yet-adorable Twitter exchange I’ve witnessed today. It all started when Lorde landed in Raleigh, North Carolina for her tour and suddenly realized where she’ll be spending her retirement years.

And she was dead serious about all of that “paper doll” stuff. The “Team” singer proceeded to spend the rest of her day playing with headless dolls and creating faux personas for her new “Headless High Society.”

That’s when Taylor Swift stepped in and took complete ownership over her BFF’s crazed doll-play. Clearly she’s invaded Lorde’s mind and they are merging into one, completely ethereal being.

Save us some scones, gals.
