Naomi Campbell Gets Sexy For SHAPE Magazine, Dishes On Keeping That Body Tight
This chick is still slaying all over the place. As she treks along in season 2 of Oxygen's "The Face", Naomi Campbell is serving up that famous body that's covered every catwalk EVER (it seems), and pretty much every magazine cover as well, for SHAPE magazine.
She said about her first SHAPE cover:
 “I’ve been on almost every magazine in existence, but this is my first time posing for Shape, and I’m thrilled. Of course.  I wish I had done it when I was younger, but it’s an honor to be here at any age."
Indeed NaNa.

Now how does she keep her skin and bod looking like perfection?  She credits it all to copius amounts of green juice (blended and juiced green vegetables).  But she's not starving herself:
“I don’t believe in starving myself. I’ve never done it, and I never will.  I’m even more active when I’m juicing, doing both yoga and Pilates every day.”
And she also revealed she kicks off every day with hot water and lemon, and includes lots of veggies, teas and salads with fish or steak.

Her workout routine includes at least an hour of yoga most days.  And a power 10 minute workout on days she's short for time.
She's even finaly kicked that nasty smoking habit...with the help of the nicotine patch.
 “People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol.  I didn’t believe it, but you know what? It is harder.”

Check out more over at SHAPE.  The new issue hits newsstands and iPads nationwide on March 24.



Solange Knowles Brightens Up The Pages Of Harper’s Bazaar
Solange Knowles poses for a colorful spread on the pages of Harper’s Bazaar. The 27-year-old songstress pairs a vibrant Chanel dress with Jeremy Scott X Linda Farrow sunglasses - a patterned Ralph Lauren Collection sweater and matching sweater with Manolo Blahnik flats – and she rocks a floral print jumpsuit by Moschino in a couple of shots for the fashion shoot. 
Solo, who made the move from Brooklyn to New Orleans last summer, has been spending time in Cajun country over the past week, working on her new album:
I figure there’s no better way to buckle down and finish it than to be as far away from everyone as possible, cell phone and computer behind. I’m not very good at writing songs when I have a lot of clutter in my mind.

She also talked her parents being apprehensive about her pursuing a career in the industry:
My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist. They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life.
On her recent move back to the South:
I’ve thought about moving to New Orleans for years but just never had the courage to do it. Now my son is at that age where he’s really establishing friends and a community, so I feel like this is a good time to try it out.

Juelz is already showing an interest in music. Would she allow him to follow in her footsteps?
I’m constantly trying to push him to work at the U.N., or be a diplomat. I try to convince him by explaining that he wouldn’t have to wait in lines at the airport, and that he can park anywhere.

She says that at 27, she’s experienced what most speak of going through in their 30s:
In a lot of ways, emotionally and mentally, I feel far older than 27. Just going through a marriage and a divorce—which I essentially did by 21—will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.
Everyone talks about how, in your 30s, all of these growing pains transition into wisdom and you feel more self-assured and confident, but I think I had a bit of a jump-start on that at 27. For the first time in my life, I’m basing every decision around the idea of whether I want to do it or if I think it will be inspiring. And that’s paid off for me.

Lupita Nyong’o’s Father: Our Family Was Tortured In Kenya
She has been enjoying overwhelming career success all year, but life hasn’t always been Oscars and SAG Awards for Lupita Nyong'o.
The “12 Years a Slave” star’s father Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o told The Independent that back in the 1980s, their family was abused and tortured for opposing Daniel arap Moi, the President of Kenya at the time.
Mr. Nyong’o explained that Lupita’s uncle Charles disappeared after one particular attack- "Even now, no information has come to light. I know he was on a ferry in Mombasa and witnesses who I managed to talk to told me clearly that it was not an accident and he had been attacked and pushed off the ferry.”
“But the witnesses were too terrified to testify to the police... I spoke to members of the Kenyan Special Branch and someone informed me that they knew what happened. They were not willing to help in any way whatsoever because of that."

After moving to Mexico, the Nyong’o family returned to Kenya in 1987. "I was being picked up monthly and weekly. It would depend on the period. It was as often as they wanted. It was mainly psychological for me, although it was physical for others. You could not wash for days, you were harassed, threatened, you couldn't sleep and it becomes unbearable."

Beyonce Rocks Tom Ford Dress In Amsterdam
We all know that Jay Z doesn’t pop Molly’s he rocks Tom Ford!! Right?! Welp… His Boo thang does too. Beyoncé rocked a dress from Tom Ford’s new collection at her concert in Amsterdam. It was the first time the Mollie sequin dress was worn straight off the runway.
The outfit bearing the number 61 and the word Molly crossed out was designed by Tom Ford in tribute to Beyonce’s rapper husband Jay-Z. It was a knock-off of the jersey Jay-Z had worn while performing his tribute song Tom Ford during his Magna Carter World Tour last year.



Kenya Moore Admits She Had Ulterior Motives With Phaedra’s Husband Apollo: I wanted closure.
Is it EVER appropriate to have a one-on-one with your cast mate’s husband–especially when you two have a semi-history?
That type of scenario took place on Sunday’s episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. While the cast took a couples trip to Mexico, a conversation between Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks’ husband, Apollo, went down.
In short, the two attempted to discuss rumors surrounding their alleged inappropriate behavior. A few have criticized Kenya for initiating the conversation, but the ‘Gone With the Wind’ star admits that she had an ulterior motive. On a personal BRAVO blog post she explains that she really wanted him to admit his wrong-doing. She writes:

All the women were invited to the lounge, but of course they were all late so Lawrence and I joined them. I did have an ulterior motive in hanging out with them and that was to get the truth out of Apollo. You catch a rat with peanut butter not salt.  Once they were relaxed, it was my moment. I wanted an admission of guilt, an apology, and a resolution from Apollo and I succeeded. As a result of me being non-threatening, Apollo admitted that he felt he could have slept with me yet I never offered him sex (“I can say how I feel you don’t have to offer.”)
She continues:
Apollo’s fictional stories about LA and anything else were retaliation for me making him look bad because I revealed his texts to me (“You took a jab, I took a jab regardless of whose head got knocked off.”) I wanted closure and to move on. I can’t do that without a conversation. We have never had that and Phaedra deserves to know the truth as well. However, it was Phaedra who decided to go on a national platform and recite Apollo’s lies without ever speaking to me or fact-finding. So not only did he try to hurt me but she willingly participated.
Kenya however does take full responsibility for sending what she calls ‘friendly’ text messages to Apollo. She explains:

With that said, I am guilty of one thing and that is responding to Apollo’s friendly texts. I have wholeheartedly apologized as it was inappropriate. Additionally, my poor choice opened the door for these types of people to drag me through the mud outside the prism of RHOA. But liars never win and karma is a bitch. Stay tuned for the conclusion next week.
Anywho, BRAVO knows how to drag a story line! Next week, Phaedra reacts to the conversation above and it doesn’t look to pretty.



Lindsay Lohan’s List Of Lovers Is Longer Than Before!
Though it’s not likely that she’ll ever fess up to it, Lindsay Lohan's catalog of alleged gentleman suitors keeps getting juicier.
In addition to the first list of beaus she’s bedded, a new round of revelations names Orlando Bloom, Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro among the ranks.
Furthermore, LiLo supposedly laid with Danny Cipriani, Aaron Voros, Mattio Cipriani, Stavros Niarchos, Josh Mond and Petey Wright.
And when added to the previous list of Justin Timberlake, James Franco, Heath Ledger, Colin Farrell, Max George, Joaquin Phoenix, Adam Levine and Wilmer Valderrama, it sounds like Miss Lohan has an abundance of inside information on Tinseltown’s hottest studs.

Eudoxiee Hints She & Ludacris Have Taken The Next Step....And Checks A Commenter About The "Baby On Break" Drama
Love is (still) in the air for Ludacris and girlfriend Eudoxiee!  The twosome appear to have moved to Miami after finishing the decor on a new home.  And is Eudoxiee also hinting that an engagement went down?
After posting a cutesy pic of her and her man Ludacris, Eudoxiee hinted that the twosome are beginning a "new chapter" of their lives saying:
She confirmed via social media she now lives in Miami.  So...either they've purchased/rented a home together, got engaged, or both.

Eudoxiee has been talking about "living the Miami life" for the last week or so.  And she posted a pic of her newly decorated home (above) saying:

And while Luda's cousin and Eudoxiee's friend Monica Brown had nothing but love for the two:
There's always that one person who comes with the shade about his cheating ways, or should we say "his having a baby on their fake break":

Oh...
The twosome have been eating good and living it up in the M-I-A for a while now, so it looks like they're moving on VERY much together, despite the side baby.  And despite the financial woes Luda claims he has when it comes to paying child support for his new baby.
