Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham & Hailey Clauson Cover ‘SI’ Swimsuit Issue!
Looks like congratulations are in order for not one but three very sexy ladies!! The super sexy Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson were all made 2016 ‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Issue cover girls!
Holy hotness! Just when we thought the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue couldn’t get any sexier, the publication went and gave us three different covers! SI revealed on Feb. 13 that Ronda Rousey, 29, Ashley Graham, 28, and Hailey Clauson, 20, are the drop-dead gorgeous cover stars!
Seriously, is there anything sexier than the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue?! But the fact that there are three different covers has our heads spinning.”It’s a nod to female empowerment,” a source told E! News. Ronda doesn’t wear an actual swimsuit, it’s actually painted on! Check out this sexy video here of the girls!
We are so happy that Ashley has a cover because she is the first plus size model to grace a SI cover! Her sexy cover shows her laying on the beach, also wearing a purple bikini. Hailey appears topless with a pair of green bikini bottoms too.
With their hot new covers they now join an elite rank of models who’ve all stripped down and bared their best assists in the name of the franchise. As you might recall, Hannah Davis was the lucky star of last year’s titillating cover, which saw her standing very proactively and pulling her bottoms down very very low. The year prior, we also saw supermodels Lily Aldridge, Chrissy Teigen, and Nina Agdal all shed their tops for a cheeky joint cover. And don’t even get us started on all of Kate Upton‘s historic cover shots!
In addition to their risque new pics, this year’s SI Swimsuit issue also features a host of other knockout beauties including veterans like Irina Shayk, Emily Ratajkowski, Kelly Rhorbach, and Gigi Hadid, and SI Rookies Ashley Graham, Barbara Palvin and Tanya Mityushina. Congrats to all of this year’s SI Swimsuit models!

#RHOA: Can we talk about Kandi Burruss Tucker Post-Baby Body; What Is Her Secret To Shedding Pregnancy Pounds?
Kandi Burruss Tucker gave birth almost six weeks ago and this momma is on cloud nine. Kandi’s storyline this season on The Real Housewives of Atlanta revolves around her life as a working mom, and mom to be.

Fellas, Who Is that Bootylicious The Life Of Pablo Cover Model Sheniz Halil?
Sheniz Halil just became a household name after her glorious assets made the cover of Kanye West‘s The Life Of Pablo album. Although West is married to a woman with one of the most famous bottoms in the game, it was Kim Kardashian who actually picked out Halil to be featured on her husband’s highly anticipated project.
Halil, 27, states on her Instagram page that she’s been published in magazines around the world. She also adds that she was Miss Swimsuit USA London’s winner and was also a brand ambassador for Bally Singh‘s Rich List Showstoppers. But while Halil has seen her career growing at a respectable clip, the Yeezy and Kim K cosign has been her biggest boost to date.
As reported by TMZ, West’s art team put Halil on Kardashian’s radar and she made the final selection among several photos from the model’s IG stash. One glance at the photo and it’s not hard to tell why she did so. And of course, there is the obvious look-a-like theories abound on social media bringing more attention to the matter.
Halil is taking it all in, even though West didn’t ask permission for the photo. Taking to Twitter, Halil tweeted, “Nope no permission it’s awesome but no idea.”
Lil Kim Denies Lightening Skin: She says ‘Some of you are miserable’!
Lil Kim is responding to criticism that she’s lightening her skin and/or filtering her photos. In particular, she’s received backlash over a photo that she took with Kim Kardashian at Kanye West’s Yeezy 3 fashion show/listening session. Kim took to Instagram, with the following explanation on Instagram:
Uhunuh it’s a damn shame. The Lil Kim hate is a different type of hate. This video is from the exact same day of the Yeezy fashion show. I’d like to see y’all try to filter this. Videos don’t lie idiots! Some of you are just so miserable and unhappy with yourself that you have nothing else to do than to come on my page and just hate and talk about me on the blogs. It’s clear that I’m lighter in this video than the picture that Kim posted.
Which is still a very gorgeous photo. I lightened up the picture because I like when the makeup pops a little more and you can see the beauty of the makeup that @tasha_mack_mua did.
Kim wanted the picture to look a little darker, because that’s the way she liked it. Kim is my boo and I wanted to repost it but I saw it in a different way. Either way both pictures are completely gorgeous and are a matter of expression of preference of photography. IG is a way for people to express themselves and have fun through pictures and videos! And I love photography, on that note moving right along me and @mainohustlehard got that heat coming ???

Tyra Banks Debuts New Son On "Happiest Valentine's Day" Ever
New mom Tyra Banks debuted the first photo of her new son on the "happiest Valentine's Day" of her life on Sunday (February 14).
The America's Next Top Model host and her photographer boyfriend Erik Asla surprised fans last month by announcing they had become the proud parents of son York Banks Asla, via a gestational surrogate.
And on Sunday, the supermodel posted the first shot of her baby boy on Instagram, with a striking photo of her cradling the tot in her arms.
"This is the Happiest Valentine's Day of my life," she captioned the image. "York, Daddy @erikasla and I send you so much love."
Baby York was nothing short of a miracle for Banks, who divulged last year (15) that she and Asla had been trying to start a family together, and had undergone in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment after struggling to conceive naturally.
When Banks, 42, shared the baby news on her Instagram.com page in January (16), she wrote, "As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world."
Your First Look at Kerry Washington In "Confirmation"
Attorney Anita Hill's famous/infamous story is getting the HBO treatment. With Wendell Pierce as Clarence Thomas and Kerry Washington as Yale Law grad Ms. Hill herself, we will relive the time where workplace sexual harassment first became a topic of discussion. It all started with the then attorney-adviser/assistant's testimony during Thomas' Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
The process was long and dirty, to say the least, especially when it came to the attacks on Anita Hill as she came forward about the sexual harassment she says she endured while working for Clarence Thomas.
The hearings introduced all types of discussions involving sexism, the definition of harassment in the workplace, and the blatant advantages men of a certain stature often receive.
Check out the first trailer for "Confirmation," a tv movie based off the Anita Hill documentary, HERE:
The movie also stars Jennifer Hudson, Greg Kinnear as Joe Biden, and Jeffrey Wright. It premieres April 16th on HBO
Here's what went down at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammys bash
At the 40th anniversary of the music mogul's annual pre-Grammys bash at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, Davis was surrounded by his celebrity friends — and made sure everyone knew it, as the host spent much of the evening at the podium, pointing out the many famous faces filling the ballroom around him.
Once again, the event reaffirmed Davis' enduring legacy in music, with a room full of major names from Ringo Starr and Herbie Hancock to former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles and Zayn Malik gathering to spend Valentine's Day with the legend. They were joined by stars from movies (Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx,) politics (Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer), sports (the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson) and more.
But in between all of Davis' Hollywood who's-who talk, as he went around naming friend after famous friend, there were the performances, a hallmark of his yearly celebrations. Ahead of Lady Gaga's David Bowie remembrance at the Grammys Monday, Beck, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic honored both David Bowie and Kurt Cobain with their version of The Man Who Sold The World to kick off the show, and Adam Lambert and Bleachers' Jack Antonoff gave their spirited take on Let's Dance to end the night.
Glenn Frey of the Eagles was remembered at the gala in addition, with Melissa Etheridge remembering the band's late co-founder with a performance of Take It to the Limit.
Among the other noteworthy performances was Barry Manilow, who recovered from surgery just in time to sing a medley of songs (one, a duet with archival footage of Judy Garland); and Carly Simon, whom David convinced to fly out just in case Manilow dropped out of his performance that evening. He made the show, but the audience still got to see Simon perform anyway, as she did "a song I haven't performed in a while" — her classic You're So Vain.
Younger artists also had their time to shine, as Davis invited Fetty Wap for a quick run-through of Trap Queen, and introduced three new artists that particularly stuck him for one song each: Audra Day, Tori Kelly and Elle King.
Another hallmark of Davis' pre-party is the President's medal, granted to one notable industry veteran every year, including Herb Alpert, Richard Branson and David Geffen in the past. This year honored legendary manager Irving Azoff, whom Recording Academy chair Neil Portnow called "a man that inspires many words: visionary, innovator, protector, bold, savvy," someone responsible for crafting the careers of performers from classic-rock greats like Chicago and Guns & Roses to more contemporary names like Christina Aguliera.
In Grammys tradition, the honoree gets to choose two artists to play at the gala, and Azoff's choice did not disappoint; Chicago, who will celebrate their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year; and the legendary funk pioneers Earth, Wind & Fire.
And as the band said their medley of hits wasn't just dedicated to Azoff. "We’re going to be paying homage to Maurice White, who recently passed away. Our leader, our mentor," the bandmembers said on the red carpet. "Tonight’s going to be a very special night to us.
