Jessica Alba for Women's Health Magazine!
Jessica Alba, 39, is looking flawless! The Honest Company CEO looked sensational in a white crop-style bikini top and matching bottom as she posed on the Jan/Feb 2021 issue of Women’s Health magazine, which is on newsstands Dec. 29. In the interview, the Fantastic Four star revealed her diet secrets — including the one thing she’s completely eliminated. “Four days a week, I try to eat plant-based, and I don’t drink alcohol,” she confessed.

The actress, who is mom to daughters Honor, 12, Haven, 9, and son Hayes, 2, doesn’t completely deprive herself, though. “Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all bets are off. That feels like moderation to me,” she explained. Jessica’s toned abs were on full display in the photos, which she also credits to pilates. “I feel every muscle in my core. I never even knew I had those things,” Jessica noted, confessing her attitudes have changed towards exercise over the years.
“I always thought, I need to sweat out my weight in water, I need to have muscle failure, I need to feel like I just ran a marathon—that’s how hard I needed to work out. I’ve learned to mix it up and not feel like a failure if I’m not, you know, killing myself,” she said to the magazine. On the cover, the brunette rocked her highlighted hair blown out and center parted, accessorizing with a pair of Jenny Bird‘s 80s inspired Toni Knocker earrings ($95). She kept her makeup light and neutral, with an earthy toned shadow, lipstick and nude manicure.
In addition to being in fantastic shape, the 39-year-old is also known for her flawless complexion. After launching the Honest Company as a baby-based business in 2011, she transitioned to beauty and skincare in 2015. “In the mornings, I put on a face mask and a thick swipe of lip balm so I can be under this layer of hydration while I’m getting my coffee,” she said. “My son [Hayes] is always like, ‘Mommy, what’s that?’ Every time he looks over at me when I’ve got the mask on, it’s like he’s seeing me for the first time. But it reminds me that I’m allowed to take care of myself as well. It’s a little bit of tender loving care to start the day,” she added.
Jessica has been active on social media throughout the pandemic, sharing some sweet moments with her kids on TikTok and Instagram! 12-year-old Honor is already taller than her mom, towering over the Dark Angel alum in recent videos. The mom-of-three and entrepreneur added that she’s taken this year to focus more on her family life, including husband Cash Warren, 41. “The pandemic has forced me to be comfortable with things not being completely buttoned up, with allowing myself to not always have the answer, for mistakes to kind of stay as is,” she said.
“It’s also reinforced that real joy comes from the moments when, you know, we’re playing a game with the kids at dinner, or when [son] Hayes wants to show us his latest trick on the scooter, or from our family walks. That’s the stuff that truly matters,” Jessica concluded.

#HipHopNews: John “Ecstasy” Fletcher Of Trailblazing '80s Hip-Hop Group Whodini Dead At 56!
A who’s-who of the hip-hop community took to social media Wednesday to mourn the death of John “Ecstasy” Fletcher, best known as the charismatic, Zorro-hatted co-vocalist of the trailblazing Brooklyn rap trio Whodini. Questlove of the Roots was the first to break the sad news via his Twitter and Instagram accounts, posting, “One love to Ecstasy of the legendary #Whodini. This man was legendary and a pivotal member of one of the most legendary groups in hip hop. This is sad man.” The group’s Grandmaster Dee later confirmed the news to Variety, but no cause of death was given at press time. Fletcher was 56 years old.
Fletcher formed Whodini with vocalist/lyricist Jalil Hutchins and turntablist Drew Carter, a.k.a. Grandmaster Dee, in 1982, and they quickly became breakout stars of the ‘80s New York rap scene alongside Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, Afrika Bambaataa, Run-D.M.C., the Fat Boys, and LL Cool J. Managed by Russell Simmons, they released R&B/electro crossover club hits that laid the blueprint for the New Jack Swing movement, including “Friends” (which went to No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart), “Freaks Come Out at Night,” “Five Minutes of Funk,” and “The Haunted House of Rock.”
Whodini’s debut single “Magic’s Wand,” co-produced by British synthpop pioneer Thomas Dolby, was the first rap song to be accompanied by a music video, and Whodini were pioneering onstage as well: Their live performances were the first rap concerts to feature the dance crew UTFO, and future super-producer Jermaine Dupri got his start in show business as Whodini’s backup dancer at age 12. Dupri was of course one of the many artists to pay homage to Fletcher, posting a flashback tour video on Twitter with the heartbroken caption: “My God, this one hurts me so bad, I can’t even believe I’m posting this, Ex you know I love you, thank you for every word, every conversation every good time, may your soul rest in power.”
On their official Twitter account, Public Enemy wrote, “Ecstasy was my brother. Been on the phone all morning. Ecstasy was one of the greatest to ever rock a microphone. Whodini broke barriers, set trends and looked out for us as we came up. PE returned the favor we sampled Whodini, and brought them on tour. We had a real brotherhood,” while that group’s Chuck D also posted, “1987 I entered the @Defjam tour w PE. I tended to be nervous looking at 15000 fans in front of me every night. There were 2 MCS that directly mentored my calm that summer. 1 was @RealDougEFresh, the other was Ecstasy of Whodini. Always there to reassure w advice.”
A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip called Fletcher “one of the most under-appreciated voices in hip-hop,” LL Cool J called Fletcher “one of the most important people in this culture to me,” and Ice Cube thanked Fletcher “for showing us how to do it.” Other musical heavyweights paying their respects included Ice-T, Snoop Dogg, and Sheila E.
Over the course of their career, Whodini released six studio albums, four of which were certified platinum; their final LP, 1996’s Six, was issued on Dupri’s So So Def label. Whodini were also one of hip-hop’s most-sampled artists; “Friends” alone was sampled more than 150 times, most notably on tracks by Kanye West, Nas, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, the Pharcyde, Public Enemy, Nipsey Hussle, Will Smith, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Fabolous, Nate Dogg, and E-40. The group appeared on 2007’s VH1 Hip-Hop Honors and received the Hip-Hop Icon Award at the Black Music Honors in 2018.
Rihanna Hit With Copyright Lawsuit Over Fenty Video!
Rihanna is being sued for copyright infringement over a Fenty video. King Khan and Saba Lou, a father-daughter musical duo, filed a lawsuit alleging Rihanna used their song “Good Habits (and Bad)” in an Instagram video promoting her beauty brand Fenty, according to TMZ and confirmed by Pitchfork.
The song is the B-side to Lou’s 2012 single “Until the End.” The duo is reportedly claiming Rihanna pulled the song off streaming without permission, and that the subsequent video got over 3.4 million views. They’re seeking an unspecified amount of damages, along with asking Rihanna and Fenty to stop using the song. Just last week, Rihanna released a new, heist-movie-inspired Fenty Skin ad, which is not the one in question for this suit.
Ashlee Simpson Ross Shares Sweet New Photo of Son Ziggy Blu, 8 Weeks!
The singer said she was looking forward to the "newborn phase" since "babies smell so good"
Ashlee Simpson Ross is keeping her baby boy close! The "Safe Zone" singer, 36, shared a sweet new photo of her 8-week-old son Ziggy Blu on Instagram, Tuesday, captioning the post simply, "Peek-a-boo." Ziggy is the second child for Ross, 32, who shares 5-year-old daughter Jagger Snow with Simpson Ross, as well. She is also mom to son Bronx Mowgli, whom she shares with ex-husband Pete Wentz.
She holds the baby in the pic, as little Ziggy stares off-camera over her shoulder.
Last month, the "Pieces of Me" singer shared the first sibling photo of her three kids, featuring Bronx cradling his new baby brother as Jagger sported a giant smile, standing in front of the pair.
For Bronx's birthday later in November, the proud mom debuted the first photo of their new family of five for the occasion. "Happy Birthday Bronx!!" Simpson Ross wrote, addressing her son. "You are the coolest, kindest, deep, soulful kid (almost teen) and I am so lucky to be your mom! We love you so much! Happy twelfth 🥳"
Simpson Ross announced her pregnancy in late April, sharing photos of herself and her husband, who is the son of Diana Ross, holding up a positive pregnancy test on Instagram.
"He's going to be amazing with his outfits," added Ross of his new son's future sense of style. "I'm already starting to create pieces. I can't wait to dress him up in top hats and trench coats!"
Melanie Fiona Marries Fiancé Jared Cotter After Postponing Their Wedding Three Times!
After postponing her wedding three times this year, singer and songwriter Melanie Fiona decided to marry her long time beau, Jared Cotter, at a small Los Angeles chapel. Like many couples who planned to wed in 2020, the pandemic has forced them to postpone their nuptials or get creative. The duo ultimately opted for the latter and their wedding did not disappoint.
The lovely couple posted a video to Instagram sharing the beautiful day with their followers. Set to the tune of John Legend's "Who Do We Think We Are", the video opens with their 4-year-old son, Cam busting his best celebratory moves and linking up with mom and dad for a stylish family photoshoot.
Melanie looks stunning in a fitted mini flare white dress, with her hair styled in loose curls. Jared wore a grey suit and a pair of white and grey Nike Blazer sneakers. The couple then enjoys a toast and fixes the other up to get ready for their big day. As they get into their car, Jared puts directions into his GPS for LA Wedding Chapel, Same Day Marriage.
The Canadian-born songstress didn't want to wait any longer to marry Jared. Her caption read: "Anything is Possible...✨If you're willing to adjust your perspective. We had to postpone our wedding three times this year. We had to accept that a full ceremony with our loved ones could not be possible until 2021. But we also knew we wanted to be married this year. So, we made it happen!!! We took what was in our control and saw it through. On 12-12-2020, I married my best friend, my partner, my twin flame, in the most perfect possible way. ✨💜✨"
She continues, "Remember, things might not look the way you envisioned, but if you're willing to surrender... to detach from your ideals and expectations, you can joyfully find your way back to the intention... The reason you started in the first place."
The touching video closes with the newlyweds stopping at a local liquor store to enjoy a champagne toast on the sidewalk.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Tiffany Haddish Explains Why She And Common Are Not Spending Christmas Together!
Tiffany Haddish and Common won’t be spending the Christmas holidays together, but that does not mean there is trouble in paradise. In fact, the famed comedian has confirmed that their relationship is still going strong. However, during an interview with People magazine, she explained their holiday break.
Haddish revealed this Christmas will be dedicated to spending as much time as she can with her grandmother.
“We’re not up under each other every day anyways,” Haddish said on Monday, Dec. 21. “He’s recording his album right now, I’m working on a television show right now. Even before when the pandemic first happened, we weren’t together every day. It was three, maybe four days out the week.
The Girls Trip star also admitted that she views “space” as a healthy necessity.
“That’s kind of how I like it, because I need space,” Haddish said. “I like to be able to create whatever I’m trying to create, and if I’m with somebody, I want to focus on them a lot and it can become a distraction. That’s also what I like about him. He’s like, ‘If you need to go, you can go. I’m not trying to hold you back.'”
She noted that the time apart makes time together more significant.

According to the victim, Toktam Jorshari, she says the incident took place over a parking spot. As reported by Complex, Jorshari claims that Rondo and his girlfriend approached because they accused her of being parked too close to Rondo’s Rolls Royce.

LA Lakers Honor Kobe Bryant In Design of 2020 Championship Rings!
Kobe Bryant is being honored by the Los Angeles Lakers with their 2020 championship rings, including 2 touching tributes to the late NBA legend in the design.
Before the season opener against L.A. Clippers, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, and other 2019-20 squad members received their massive rings. The rocks are made of 16.45 carats and 804 stones and made by Jason of Beverly Hills.
The most memorable parts of the design paid homage to the NBA legend who passed away tragically in a helicopter accident earlier this year.
The first tribute is a snake wrapped around each player’s jersey number on the side of the ring … representing Bryant’s “Black Mamba” moniker and mentality.
The rings also feature a detachable top, which reveals each retired number in the franchise — with Bryant’s #8 and #24 jerseys in the team’s Black Mamba uniforms worn during their title run.
Another cool thing is that the design has LeBron’s actual handwriting of the team’s playoff motto “Leave a Legacy” etched on one side.
Due to the shortened offseason, Jason of Beverly Hills told ESPN that he completed the entire project in just 4 weeks.
