Hello Hello Baby!

Lady Gaga has been pushing her new video for "Telephone" back so many times I wish she would just release it already! The suspense is killing me! There's been quite a few postings online of teaser pics from the video shoot. This appetizer is good but I'm ready for the entree!

Supposedly she's going to finally reveal the video on E! at 11:30 pm this Thursday. We'll see...we all shall see! But for now enjoy the teasers compliments of necolebitchie.com.




Dissappearing Act!




Can we say transformation? Kelly Osbourne is looking great and feeling even better! Her weight has been going going and GONE! She revealed to In Touch magazine that she lost 15 pounds and lost the weight by becoming “more conscious of what I eat and what I don’t.” She explained that her dieting consists of cutting back on soda, microwave use, and by keeping a positive frame of mind.

“I find that when I get depressed, that’s when I gain it all back. But as soon as I start working and I’m productive and I feel good about myself, the weight just goes.”

It's funny because it sounds so easy and simple but like she stated to In Touch everyone is different and everyone has a different shape. It's hard to believe that only 15 pounds has made such a huge difference already with her appearance, and by the looks of it, she's definitely much healthier and much happier! Keep it up Kelly!

Oh Oscar!

Yes I know it's been waaay too long since I made a post [please refrain from the side eye pweeeease]. But what better time for me to return than during the Oscars! Hey, what can I say? I couldn't stay away too long of course! =)

So the Oscars were a snore-fest for the most of the evening, like usual, but who really watches for the awards anyways? Ha! Actually, I do, but I digress...the most important part of the Oscars is the FASHION! This was a toughy because there were a lot of great looks on the Red Carpet this year. I loved Cameron Diaz's glam look, Rachel McAdams earthy gown and Kristen Stewart won me over with her chic and sophisticated gown. but there can only be 1 winner, so after much deliberation [with myself of course] I finally picked my best and worst dressed humans who happen to be celebrities. Check them out!

BEST DRESSED FEMALE: Demi Moore! I love the flesh blending color, the fit, and who can resist light and airy ruffles that resemble a silk ocean of waves.





BEST DRESSED MALE: Tom Ford of course! He always looks dapper and oh so handsome. If anyone knows how to pull off a suit, it's the former Gucci designer himself! And I love that he's one of the few men who can pull off a carnation on his lapel.




WORST DRESSED FEMALE: Sarah Jessica Parker. This was a total dissappointment for me because I love SJP but then again some of her looks have been questionable throughout her career. You either love it or hate it and this time...HATED IT! The fit is so awkward and unappealing. She would've been better off just going naked. OUCH!




WORST DRESSED MALE: Robert Downey Jr. First of all I can't stand anyone who wears shades on the red carpet. That bow tie...NO! The sneakers with the suit... double NO! NO and NO! That is all. And did I say no? On the bright side...his date looks lovely. :)

Really? That's It?



Ummm, I'm going to need a little bit more of an exciting teaser than that. Eh, either way I'll go see it. I almost feel obligated to since I've seen all the episodes and the last movie. I just hope it doesn't dissappoint. I mean what else could possibly happen after the last movie's "happy ending". Hopefully some kind of dramz or else I may have to ask for my money back! Hey... going to the movies ain't cheap now a days! I could buy 2 combo meals at any of my favorite delicious fast food restaurants Richmond has to offer for 1 movie ticket!

Rih-vealed



The beloved style icon and pop star that is Robyn Rihanna Fenty covers GQ mag this month and reveals more bout her life after "the incident" and her new album "Rated R". She is coming back harder and stronger this time around and is making it clear that she is not a "victim" but she is actually victorious. As you can see, she definitely revealing more than just information in this month's issue of the men's magazine, but hey, it IS a men's magazine, right? So it only makes sense, if only this was the only half naked spread she's done recently. You can see she is finally shedding that good girl image that lots of record execs favor with new artists and is feeling more and more comfortable in her own skin, especially when everyone is watching. Peep some of her interview below.


On her reaction to her face after "the incident":

"Initially. I would say the first…the first seventy-two hours after I realized, it hit. The entire thing was kind of a daze. I was confused. It was a little weird, but…but then, after, I was getting bored of being in the house and sittin’ around. I called Jay Brown—he’s my A&R—and I was like, “I want to get back to the studio. I want to get back.”

If she will ever speak to Chris Brown again:

"Mmm. Maybe in like ten years, you know? But it’s not something that I’m depending on. I’m not depending on his friendship".


What she would tell other victims of assault:
"Um…really really really that love is blind… After everything happened, it was a wake-up call to me… I didn’t realize how much of an effect it had on young girls’ lives, and that’s part of the insight that I wanna give. Stop blaming yourself for that outcome. There’s nothing you can do, ever, to excuse a man’s behavior like that."-


How her mentor helped her get through it all:

"Me and Jay-Z, we have a very close relationship, so he was there helping me through it and giving me advice and guidance, and just words of support. Like, strength".


On people's misperceptions about her:
"They just don’t understand me. I just think people straight up don’t know who I am; they just know what I look like, they know the idea of me. But—they’ll learn more this time, because now I let my guard down, and I’m more comfortable just being myself. That’s exactly what I want to be. And even on the album, you definitely get a gist of my personality".


On her cover shoot with GQ:
"It’s very sexy, yeah. At one point [chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group] L.A. Reid came into the shoot, and he was like, “Rihanna, put some fucking clothes on!”


LOL, that was definitely my fave part of the interview. To see more of her interview pick up a copy of GQ on stands now!






Wowzers!

Style Spotlight: Cassie



Cassie Ventura is one of the most stylish artists of our generation. With her exotic beauty and savvy sense of style, one would say she's the complete package, an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Her swag is so off the meters that it's incomparable. I don't mind Cassie as an artist, there's a few songs she's come out with that have made me sway or nod my head, but it's her sense of style that has really captured eyes. She masters the essence of urban chic with a little edge, a little glitz, and a little... half shaved head. With a mixed ethnic background of Filipino, Mexican, and African American, it's no doubt Cassie's got the whole LHLS [long haired, light skinned] dream girl down to the "T". Not everyone can pull off a half shaven head and still be beautiful and make it chic enough to even inspire other celebs [LaLa Vazquez] and regular Janes to daringly take the same fashion risk. Not only does she not fear a pair of hair clippers, but she's fearless with her style choices like mixing prints and bright colors together, rocking studded and endlessly strapped shoes that are 5 inches tall, and even pairing leathers and faux furs like a true rockstar.
