Ladies and Gents Meet MISS DIOR! Natalie Portman Is Stunning In New Miss Dior Campaign
Given her timeless beauty and universal appeal, it’s no wonder Miss Dior snatched up Natalie Portman for the latest advertising strategy.
The “Black Swan” beauty is gorgeous in a black garment as she flashes her doe eyes at the camera while teasingly holding a bottle of the eau de parfum. Portman’s print ad comes just after the release of her short film for the French fashion house in which she plays a runaway bride.
Director Anton Corbijn told press, "The story is about escaping, about getting away from all the things that tie you down in life. Natalie Portman was fantastic. She is real, she's genuine. You can see it on the screen, and people relate to it. I think that this 'truth' is more important than beauty. Being a beautiful woman is not enough. She's a real person, a good person, and her personality makes the difference."
SHOCKER! Will Smith Talks Falling Out Of Love With Jada Pinkett Smith?
Will Smith is still overseas on an interview confession streak and his latest revelation is much deeper than calling on Kanye West to revitalize his rap career.
Over the course of his 18-year marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith, the Hollywood A-lister has been subjected to several rumors regarding the couple’s standing with one another and if they indeed had an open relationship.
While talking with UK’s The Sun, Big Will spoke truth to those rumors, admitting that everything hasn’t always been red carpets and golden glamour along the way.
“Whatever you have is gonna die and you are gonna have to rebirth something new,” he replied when asked about to give an overall synopsis on the marriage. “You have to be willing to ride the waves. There’s gonna be some flat days and some stormy days, and that has to be OK.”
Jada agreed and even revealed that with the wisdom they gained from being together from so long, they learned that they were able to do without conventional wisdom.
“We used to have all these rules, [but] as you go on in your relationship, you just get into a flow,” she explained.
“Will, to me, encompasses everything. It’s almost as if calling him ‘my husband’ is too small of a word for what he means in my life… I think I had a very stuck idea of what a husband looks like, what a wife should be. Once I broke all of that, a whole new world opened for me and man, oh, man, I got to see him in all his glory. And so that’s what it’s evolved into. And I’m just ecstatic about it.”
The couple has never been shy in opening up with the media and that goes double when discussing their famous children, Jaden and Willow.
Will THIS WOMAN be the replacement for The Daily Show?
Rumors are flying around that Jessica Williams will be the new replacement for The Daily Show. But Jessica Williams claims she is not replacing Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. The correspondent’s name has been floated by many as a potential successor to Stewart, but Williams took to Twitter to let folks know she’s not the right person.
“Fact 1: I’m not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!”
“At this age (25) if something happens politically that I don’t agree with, I need to go to my room and like not come out for, like, seven days.”
“That being said I am super not right for it, but there are quite a few people who are! Can’t wait to stick around & see what happens.”
Other names being floated are Chris Rock, John Oliver, Amy Poehler and Joel McHale.
Wiz Khalifa files for FULL CUSTODY of his child with Amber Rose!
While Amber is slaying all things Kardashian! mber's ex-husband Wiz Khalifa is throwing his own jabs. And it reeks of set up to get full custody of their son Sebastian.
TMZ reports that Wiz recently filed court documents claiming that Amber is a bad mom. And he's giving specific examples saying:
-- Amber often stays out all night, requiring that relatives and staff take over
-- The family dog eats its own feces and then licks Sebastian's face
-- When she wakes up she'll play with the kid for 15 minutes or so and then disappear
-- Amber and her mom have a volatile relationship, laced with "shouting matches and vulgar exchanges," which upset the boy. And during the arguments the N word was hurled by Amber's mom
Hmmm. We're not totally convinced these statements are 100% contextually true. They could possibly also apply to Wiz himself since he's been known to be out on the scene OFTEN as well. Especially the "staying out all night" argument...since the reasons for this could be for work purposes, which would apply to both of them.
We've also noticed an uptick in celebrity men (who have more money than their ex-wives) taking custody rights away from the child's mother.
While Wiz has yet to file custody docs, the report states it's coming next.
Sam Taylor Johnson ‘wants OUT’ of the ‘Fifty Shades’ franchise!
Before Fifty Shades of Grey was released, Sam Taylor Johnson was already talking about the sequels. She made it sound like the studio was already exploring the possibilities and that she, Sam, would be up for directing the sequels if that’s what the studio wanted. But now that the film is a smashing financial success, everyone involved is reassessing. There’s a UK report that suggests that no, Sam doesn’t want to direct a sequel, especially if E.L. James still gets to exert the same level of control over the script/story.
The Sun has reported that Sam Taylor Johnson is keen to leave the franchise due to her constant on-set feuds with the author, despite previously claiming that she had ‘signed on’ to work on the sequels. A senior film insider told newspaper’s Dan Wootton: ‘Sam won’t be back for the Fifty Shades sequels. She wants out and Universal knows that’s the right decision. Her relationship with Erika has become absolutely toxic – they despise each other and blame each other for the problems with the film.’
Sam and E.L. – who signed a £3 million deal with Universal and Focus Films giving them the rights to her trio of books, which also gave her creative control of the movies – are said to have clashed numerous times about sex scenes as the author wanted to make the movie racier. The source also claimed that most of the rows between the two were due to the author’s wishes for the film to be as explicit as the book.
‘But Sam pushed back because she wanted the movie to be more than just a collection of S&M scenes,’ they added.
[From The Daily Mail]
It makes sense. It’s not even that unusual – most of the time, when a smaller-budget film has become a smashing success, the studio usually changes directors. Think of what happened with the original Twilight franchise: the original director, Catherine Hardwicke, was pushed out quickly in favor of a series of male directors.
Oh, and Sam’s rep has issued a statement about all of this too, saying: “The studio have not committed to a sequel as yet….All press reports are pure conjecture as the studio have not committed to a sequel as yet. We will not be making any further comment.” Meaning that the studio hasn’t let Sam into their discussion yet. Of course Universal is going to make a sequel – they’re minting money. But they’re totally going to find a new director – probably a man! – to direct the sequel. And they haven’t told Sam yet, which is depressing. I hope Sam doesn’t get screwed over after she managed to “handle” E.L. James and make a financially successful and watchable film based on terrible source material.
Audemars Piguet Says Ray J Is Selling Knock Off AP’s
Ain’t nobody got time for Ray J to sell knock-off designs of an extremely high-end watch — especially the famous Swiss timepiece company he’s allegedly ripping off.
According to TMZ: Audemars Piguet watches are faves of LeBron James, Jay Z, and Arnold Schwarzenegger — but the company’s fired off a cease and desist letter to Ray J to block him from hawking what it calls a full rip-off of its Royal Oak watch.
AP says the watches have multiple similarities — including hexagonal screws placed at the corners of an octagon face. The legal docs even include tweets from consumers calling out Ray J’s watch as a “blatant ripoff.”
By the way AP’s piece sells for more than $25,000 … and Ray’s between $150 and $500.
Audemars gave Ray a deadline of February 3 to yank his watch, but Ray J’s manager, David Weintraub, tells us he’s pushing forward with the release.
Tick tock until the lawsuit.

Anna Wintour Scolds KimYe About North West
After North West threw her second fashion week front row temper tantrum, just as auntie Kendall Jenner was about to walk for Alexander Wang, Anna Wintour warns Kim and Kanye to leave the baby at home…
From The Fix
TheFIX has learnt that the queen of fashion, Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna told Kanye, 36, and then later Kim, 33, that the front row of fashion week is no place for a baby.
"They’ve been toting her all over town like she’s a new handbag, and Anna doesn’t think it’s right to force her to go to everything."
Ms Wintour stepped in when Nori brought the champagne festivities at an Alexander Wang party to a screeching halt with a full-on arm thrashing, leg kicking tantrum.
Her advice for the Wests? Act like Victoria Beckham, show your united force as a family for a quick photo-round and then let the nanny take over.
She said: “Anna said if you want to emulate Victoria you have to be respectful of their family principles. But Kim was embarrassed that she was scolded by Anna."
Get Over it Kim!
Lil Mo Isn’t Surprised At Claudette Ortiz’s Departure.
Season 3 of R&B Divas LA has officially begun and the show’s break-out star — Lil Mo — is weighing in on a few elephants in the room. For starters, the casting for the season has changed, with a missing Claudette Ortiz. In her personal TV One Blog, Mo says Claudette’s absence really won’t affect the success of the show:
She wasn’t really vocal. She wasn’t really animated. I think she had a great story, but she never told it. She never voiced her opinion. She never had to resolve anything. I honestly kind of saw it coming.
However, Diva newbie, Brave, seems to be a more appropriate fit. Brave has more of a personality. She is just open. She will give you her honest opinion. I think she can be safe some times. Maybe if there’s another season, she’ll step out of that safety zone.
Viewers will see more of Mo’s new husband, Karl, but she admits that she did have reservations about introducing her to man to cast mate, Michel’le on the last episode.
It’s not out of shame, embarrassment, or fear. This is number three for me and this is the first one for Karl. In the entertainment world, you don’t owe anyone an explanation.
Mo hints, that fans can expect entertainment and drama:
You will see people for who they really are: those who endured, those who came to put on a show and those to who came to keep it real.
The Folks Show up and Showed Out At The "Celebrity Apprentice" Finale
Kenya Moore, Vivica A. Fox, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Terrell Owens reunited at Trump Tower New York City for the live tv finale of "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Naturally, the show had some dramatic moments. Mainly....rivals Vivica A. Fox and Kenya Moore. They threw a few jabs at one another about #Phonegate. While Kenya still denies stealing Vivica's phone, it was clear that these ladies will likely never be friends.
How do you know when Kenya Moore is lying? Vivica quipped, "As soon as the hands start going, you know she's lying".
Vivica looked great in an Herve Ledger suit, Jimmy Choo pumps and Candy Ice Jewelry.
Vivica posed with tv personality Leeza Gibbons whom Donald Trump named "The Celebrity Apprentice" winner during the live show.
And look who's back! Keshia Knight Pulliam, who was fired on the first episode, returned to brave the cold NYC weather in a spiffy trench cape.
The "infamous" Kenya Moore returned in a George Miguel dress and Tom Ford shoes. he looks great as usual. But Kenya's #toxictrick fight with Vivica might go down as one of the nastiest battles in Celebrity Apprentice history!
Former reality star and NFL player Terrell Owens returned for the finale to reflect on his performance. We hope he can book a few gigs based on his participation.
After all He does have a boatload of kids to support....

So 50 Cent seems to be upset by the fact that Epic Records has, in most ways, decided to not stand by their young signee Bobby Shmurda during his case. Click MORE to see details.
So 50 Cent took to Shade 45 to say this:
“You know what I would really like to see, though?”
“I’d like to see that check from Epic. How they didn’t get Bobby out? Why didn’t they bail Bobby out?”
The Hot N*gga rapper recently posted bail after being locked up along with his GS9 crew members who now face over 100 charges and Bobby will see up to 25 years if convicted. Not cool.

Would You? Hood By Air Debuts Men’s Thigh-Slit Dresses At NYFW!
Hood By Air, A$AP Rocky’s least favorite brand, managed to differentiate themselves from all other brands during New York Fashion Week by voraciously embracing gender-bending fabrics.
Shayne Oliver’s tenured fashion line has been pushing the limits for some time, and as Yahoo has learned at his recent Fall 2015: “Daddy” show, the boundaries have officially been broken.
For his fall/winter 2015 collection, Oliver included draped furs, plunging necklines, low-backs, and very high-slit dresses (think Anja Rubik at Met Gala or Angelina Jolie at the Oscars in 2013). Sounds like Hood by Air will be dressing a lot of actresses on the red carpet, perhaps? Probably not because the 27 year-old designer showed these looks for men, not women.
Take a look at the images in the gallery below and do let us know if you would rock
Hood by Air is NYFW’s favorite gender-bending brand. And along with Oliver’s anything goes aesthetic, the designer always incorporates some outrageous performances on the catwalk; last season, he sent a model on crutches hobbling down the runway (how Derelicte!); before that, men in blonde weaves were sent twerkin’ down the runway for a hip-hop drag extravaganza.
This season Oliver ditched the theatrics, and let these wild clothes speak for themselves.
Not to be outdone, Public School revealed that they would be offering a line of cashmere mini dresses for males come next autumn.
UMMMMM NO
