Zendaya Lands FIRST European Cover With HUNGER

She's an actress, a singer, a spokesmodel and NOW she's ready to become a household name in Europe. A few weeks ago we spotted Zendaya in London posing with fans and we suspected her team was aiming to turn her into an international superstar. And we were right! They've just scored their first victory.....

Zendaya has landed her FIRST European magazine cover, and she's fronting the magazine HUNGER. The good news doesn't end there. The folks at HUNGER were so impressed by her that they gave her FOUR covers. #catchthat.

Each pic was shot by Rankin and shows Zendaya wearing the clothes of one of her fave designers Vivienne Westwood (she's also one of the design house's spokeswomen). Inside the magazine, which drops tomorrow, Zendaya opens up about being "respected" as a businesswoman in spite of her age. She told the mag,

“Of course I’ve had a problem with people taking me seriously because of my age. People are always going do that because you’re less experienced, you haven’t lived as much. And in a sense it is true that there are certain things that you only learn with time. But I think that there are also a lot of things that young people know that older people don’t, and older people will never understand again because they’re in a different section of their lives. I think when you’re young you’re a lot more open-minded, and sometimes you’re a lot more perceptive about what’s going on in the world.”

In other Zendaya news, she's just started filming a new family-friendly flick named Duck Duck Goose.

Gorgeous shots!

Kenya Moore isn’t here for you bringing up Boyfriend's Criminal Past!

Last month there were rumors that Kenya Moore's new fake boyfriend was hiding a criminal.

This month mainstream media caught wind of it and Kenya is fed up…

Earlier this week Radar Online reported on Kenya's new ‘alleged’ BF, Eugene Casciaro's, criminal past which consists of a series of misdemeanors that have since been dismissed.

Kenya was not here for it.

OOPS!

HUH? Terrence Howard Says He’s Broke Because Ex Wife Is Garnishing His “Empire” Money

Terrence Howard is staple in the “Damn, this n!**a got into ANOTHER fight??!” news. His history of violence and temper tantrums have lead him to several divorces and near blackballing from the entertainment industry.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the epitome of lightskinnededness (yes, that’s a word) keeps it a buck about his current financial situation as well as the physical altercations he’s had with the the women in his life.

“You know, all my checks from Fox are being held for garnishment, because of my ex. I’m broke as can be. But my wife, she did well for herself, so she’s covered us. This place, she’s renting it. I’m suffering. There’s nothing worse than being a broke movie star.”

Pak says that they’re soon going to be buying a house of their own. “In Winnetka,” she says.

“The suburbs,” Howard says, “as soon as they free up my money.” He goes on, “It’s always been a hard road for me. I run into bad luck. But I run into good luck too, so it’s even-steven right now.” He nods at Pak: “I’ve got a good wife.”

We’re gonna take the last part about having a good wife with a grain of salt as we reported just a couple weeks ago that Terrence and his “good wife” might be splitting.

Really?

WTF?? Kanye West’s New Collection Looks Like Something Out Of The NYC Gutter!

Kanye West debuted his new clothing collection at New York Fashion Week and folks on social media are not thrilled.

On Wednesday, the rapper sent his Kanye West X Adidas Originals Collection down the runway, but sadly, it was not received well by his fans.

One meme already circulating the Web suggests that the collection, which consisted of jumpsuits, leotards and coats all in the beige/brown family, looks like it’s something out of the Walking Dead or Star Wars.

And although it was made very clear on social media that the line wouldn’t be suited for everyday attire, the rapper’s family completely had Yeezy’s back. The 37-year-old’s family, including the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan, sat front row with a few other familiar faces; Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Lorde and Michael Strahan to name a few.

Earlier this week, West came under fire for adding his show at the last minute to the NYFW schedule. The addition angered many designers, including Anne Bowen, who was set to launch her anticipated street collection, Nomad VII by Anne Bowen at the same time. “We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labor- and commitment-cost to our company. Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks,” Bowen told WWD on Sunday. “We went through all the proper channels to make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours.

IT’S OFFICIAL her name is now Caitlyn Marie Jenner

Caitlyn Jenner was spotted refueling her Cadillac Escalade before heading to the courthouse to file papers to change her name and gender. Jenner asked a judge to sign off on her new name and gender yesterday. The process normally takes about a year. But since Jenner is so high profile, his application will probably be fast tracked. Jenner signed the documents “Bruce Jenner”.

She really is now Caitlyn Jenner!

Lifetime will do UnBreak My Heart The Toni Braxton Story (Biopic)!

R&B icon Toni Braxton has given the network the greenlight to air an upcoming biopic based on her bestselling memoir Un-Break My Heart. We're intrigued...

There was LIFETIME press release that revealed that Toni will serve as the film's executive producer (smart move) and the network will be sending out casting notices very soon. While some sites are reporting Toni will be appearing in the movie, this was not confirmed by Lifetime's press release.

Here's the network’s synopsis: Based on Grammy® Award-winning singer Toni Braxton’s popular memoir, Un-Break My Heart is the authorized life story of the wildly talented artist, who has fought through a severe chronic illness, financial troubles and divorce while navigating her son’s autism and family struggles. Un-Break My Heart is the never-before-told story of the measures Braxton took to make herself and her family whole again, serving as an inspiration to people around the world. Braxton will executive produce the film, which begins production later this year. Un-Break My Heart is also executive produced by Craig Baumgarten (Twist of Faith), Erik Kritzer (The Runaround) and Marcus Grant, written by Susan McMartin (Mom, Two and a Half Men) and produced by Link Entertainment. Vondie Curtis Hall (Abducted: The Carlina White Story) will direct.

HOPEFULLY......the network does right by Toni and casts a fabulous actress.

#IStandWithAhmed: Teen Arrested For Homemade Clock Teachers Thought Was A Bomb

Teachers, and cops, are supposed to be intelligent, right? Well 14-year-old Ahmed Mohammed’s can’t be too bright considering they arrested the teen for making a homemade clock that they mistook for a bomb.

Reports the Dallas Morning News:

Ahmed Mohamed — who makes his own radios and repairs his own go-kart — hoped to impress his teachers when he brought a homemade clock to MacArthur High on Monday.

Instead, the school phoned police about Ahmed’s circuit-stuffed pencil case.

So the 14-year-old missed the student council meeting and took a trip in handcuffs to juvenile detention. His clock now sits in an evidence room. Police say they may yet charge him with making a hoax bomb — though they acknowledge he told everyone who would listen that it’s a clock.

In the meantime, Ahmed’s been suspended, his father is upset and the Council on American-Islamic Relations is once again eyeing claims of Islamophobia in Irving.

Islamophobia and stupidity clearly go hand in hands. Mohammed claims he was searched and interrogated, and wasn’t initially allowed to call his parents.

Since news of this farce broke, the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed has become a trending topic, with notable celebs like ?uestlove chiming in.
