Lorde Ditches The Purple Lips For The Cover Of Elle

by 7 mins ago

“I don’t think there’s a time in your life when you’re more intelligent or interesting,” reads the Lorde quote on the cover of October’s Elle, which also features the 17-year-old singer looking fresh-faced and serious. Don’t trust anyone over 30 — or, rather, 20 — am I right?

Lorde’s team announced via Instagram on Wednesday (September 10) that the singer would cover the upcoming fall issue of the fashion magazine, sharing both the cover and a shot from Ella’s photo spread. Ella in Elle? I guess it’s only fitting.

Although we’re itching to get our fingers on the story — perhaps she’ll spill more info on new music and that “Hunger Games” soundtrack — the cover itself gave us a new view of Lorde. She’s sporting a much more natural look than usual in the magazine’s pages — devoid of goth makeup and purple lips.

New music and a new look? Makes sense to us.

2 Chainz, Rita Ora, Dakota Fanning, And More At NYFW

by 19 mins ago

We’re nearing the homestretch for New York Fashion Week, but that doesn’t mean our enthusiasm has dampened in the least. We’re just as excited as we were on Day 1 (which seems so far now…) and can’t wait to tell you about all of your favorite celebs making the rounds at major shows and parties. LEGGO!

Rita OraGetty


We’re starting to think Rita Ora might actually be a superhero after all. Girlfriend is everywhere, and she constantly kills it on the style front. One of our favorite looks was at at Diesel Black Gold earlier in a black and white striped blazer, a deep v, black skinny jeans with gold zipper details, and slate gray boots. Perfection.

2 ChainzGetty


Whoa, can we talk about 2 Chainz at the Skingraft fashion show? There are some layers to this. Literal ones, as the rapper layered a monochromatic overcoat, over a black sweater, and baggy white jeans. The finishing touches were a flat-brimmed fedora, and Versace Medusa Head sneakers. I’d say more on the matter, but my internal monologue is basically: “Swag, swag, swag, swag, swag…”

Fabolous Lands A Starring Role As Brand Ambassador For Rocawear BLAK

by 22 mins ago

If you’re a hip-hop head, you can probably remember seeing Jay Z dressed from head-to-toe in his Rocawear clothing line during the Roc-A-Fella Records heyday, but it’s a new day for the brand.

With the launch of the new Rocawear BLAK line, their brand ambassador Fabolous is helping to further their reach.

“BLAK is mixture of LA and BK,” Fabolous explained to MTV News (in the video above). “Those two places are the melting pot for culture and diverse ethnicities, and [BLAK] is trying to take Rocawear from being looked at as just urban street wear, to show evolution and growth, into being an all around line.”

The Brooklyn rapper was a pretty great fit for the campaign, since fans have been able to watch his own evolution throughout the years.

“One of the things I’m trying to execute in my music is [to show] my evolution, more growth, different styles, different flows, and that’s the same thing Rocawear is doing.”

The Rocawear BLAK collection will hit stores in time for the holiday season.

Outside of his fashion endeavors, Fab is currently working on two albums: Loso’s Way 2, plus Young OG.

A native of Grenada, a product of Brooklyn, a student of hip-hop.

Channing Tatum’s Biggest Fear? Porcelain Dolls

by 6 mins ago

Wanna take on Channing Tatum and win? Bring porcelain dolls.

No, seriously. The star of “Magic Mike XXL” popped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where, among other things, he revealed that he’s absolutely terrified of those creepy figurines. “They’re really super freaky,” he told the host — which, agreed.

The good samaritan that she is, Ellen set out to help the noted “dick graze” enthusiast conquer his fears the best way she knew how: by shoving two extra-terrifying, gothy-looking porcelain dolls in his face.

C’mon, Ellen, why you gotta do the Chan Man like that?

Bad at filling out bios seeks same.

Maroon 5’s V Gets Them Back To #1

by 11 mins ago

It’s been a while, but it must feel nice to be in the #1 spot again. Maroon 5‘s V will get the Adam Levine-led group back to the Billboard promised land this week when it debuts in the top spot of the album charts, something M5 hasn’t done since 2007 with their second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.

The View From The Top
After coming in at #2 with their last two efforts, Maroon 5 are Billboard 200 chart kings again after selling 164,000 unit according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. Propelled by the singles “Maps” and “It Was Always You,” M5 easily bested the #2 debut from Jeezy‘s Seen It All: The Autobiography, which sold 121,000 copies.

It was a major comedown for Ariana Grande, though, whose My Everything lost 75 percent of its debut week business as it tumbled down to #4 on sales of just under 42,000.

Legend…ary
After selling 11 million copies in the U.S. in the past three decades and spending more than 300 weeks in the Billboard 200, Bob Marley‘s greatest hits collection, Legend, will make its top 10 debut this week thanks to a Google Play 99-cent sale. Already one of the best-selling albums of all time and a mandatory purchase for every college freshman, Legend moved up 95 spots to #5 as sales ballooned by 1,166 percent to 41,000.

Fitz Looks Miserable Without Olivia In These ‘Scandal’ Season 4 Pics

by 10 mins ago

At the end of “Scandal”‘s madcap third season, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington, obviously) boarded a private jet bound to places unknown, and earlier this week, we finally got a glimpse at where she might be.

Now, the lovely people at ABC and “Scandal” creator Shonda Rhimes are giving us even more goodies from the September 25 premiere, titled “Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia” — we have no idea what it means, either — and it looks like Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) will have an even tougher time moving on from Olivia than we initially thought. Smile, buddy!

“Nearly two months after Olivia and Jake boarded a private jet to stand in the sun together, everything has changed,” reads ABC’s official description of the episode. “With another four years in the White House, Fitz and Cyrus are doing everything they can to make a positive impact on the nation. Meanwhile, Mellie struggles to cope with the loss of her son and the gladiators feel the impact of Olivia’s absence.”

LOL at “positive impact on the nation.” Check out brand new pics of the episode — as well as a couple from the show’s official glamour shot day — below!

See The Full Batmobile In New ‘Batman V Superman’ Set Pics

by 9 mins ago

Filming on “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been going on in Detroit for a while without anything too scintillating leaking onto the web. A few weeks ago, we got a look at Superman’s new suit, but the Batman hasn’t appeared in public, just lame Bruce Wayne.

Well, finally someone has found something good near the set. Instagram user amacro13 took these pictures of the Batmobile, parked and dusty in Detroit.

The design isn’t all that surprising based on the looks we’ve gotten from Zack Snyder. The tires and angular design of the body screams of inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s tumblr (my new band name, btw), but it also borrows the longer, flatter look from Tim Burton’s movies.

Basically, the new Batmobile is designed as a happy middle ground between two very popular versions of the iconic ride, which seems like a good call on the production’s part.

“Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” opens in theaters on March 25, 2016.

Guys, A Selfie Hairbrush Exists

by 35 mins ago

On the heels of the iPhone 6 (and Apple Watch!) release yesterday, we totally have all-things tech on the brain. So, we thought this would be the perfect time to let y’all know that we discovered something very, um, interesting on the internet last night. Are you sitting down? Good.

Selfie BrushSelfie Brush

It’s called The Selfie Brush, and it’s basically iPhone case that doubles as—you guessed it—a hairbrush. For just $20, you can “easily take the best selfies ever,” according to the website. “The Selfie Brush is a fabulous paddle brush and cellphone case in one. Have your best hair in every selfie.” But we have so many questions. First, how in the world do you properly use an iPhone that has giant bristles sticking out the back?

Selfie BrushSelfie Brush

Oh, apparently like this… while holding tons of shopping bags. But doesn’t it feel huge and cumbersome to carry around a brush in your bag?

Selfie BrushSelfie Brush

They claim the large handle makes it “easy to find in your pocketbook” (true!), but why would you need a mirror next to a self-facing camera? Can’t you already see yourself? Also, wouldn’t you look like a crazy person talking into a giant brush?

Guess the verdict is still out on that. To take the Selfie Brush for a spin, swipe one up in purple, pink, or black on
