Anna Wintour Bans Rihanna from Vogue Cover

May 29, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Thanks to the recent leak of nude photos of Rihanna (see the alleged photos by clicking here), Rihanna won’t be gracing the cover of Vogue any time soon.

Anna Wintour is a notoriously picky with her cover stars. Stars and models of the African American decent rarely get a shot at the feature and must pack a huge pull or A-list following. A flaw in it’s own as Oprah and Michelle Obama have squeaked by on the cover along with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Wintour first made Oprah loose 20 pounds before the cover shots were taken. So when Rihanna was rumored to be the next starlet to land the mag’s feature it was due to be a rare buy.

However, after RiRi’s photos leaked to the internet, any chances of her face appearing on Vogue were gone.

Via Celebitchy per Star Magazine:

“It could have been Rihanna’s shining moment: the cover of Vogue! But when the nude pictures hit cyberspace, her once-in-a-lifetime chance was gone in a flash. Rihanna and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour had been talking for weeks about doing the cover and an inside spread, says a close friend of the singer, who adds that the two even chatted about it at the Met Costume Institute Gala on May 4. “Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic!” But since the photos came out, says the friend, “Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset!”

Aww…too bad. I think it would be good for Anna to pull the broom stick out of her hindquarters.

Lady Gaga Nude on Rolling Stone Cover

May 27, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

It’s no surprise that Lady Gaga is wearing a clear corset and gracing the cover of Rolling Stone’s June 2009 issue. The “Poker Face” singer is synonymous with risqué and odd fashion choices. She often walks the street sans pants and isn’t afraid to let her crazy run rampant.

Per Rolling Stone:

“The truth is, the psychotic woman that I truly am comes out when I’m not working,” she says (during Hiatt’s time with the star, she rocks a massive radio concert, takes advice from Cyndi Lauper at a photo shoot and suffers a brief breakdown at a Walmart.com taping). “When I’m not working, I go crazy.”

She is so into her music and art that she hasn’t got time for messing with men. During another interview she stated that all she looks for in mean is a “big d**k.”

The bit where she calls out the reporter for a stupid question is priceless.

Jessica Simpson Talks About Failure in Vanity Fair – Photos

May 4, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Jessica Simpson took time out from her failed country music career to do a spread for Vanity Fair. The “With You” singer even landed on the cover. (I am guessing all the cool kids were busy.)

Simpson has faced a lot of downfalls lately. Her musical endeavors have plunged as she attempted to reinvent herself in the Opry world. The album failed to even reach the 200,000 marker in sales and 2 of her attempts at films also went down the crapper. “Blonde Ambition,” which barely made $1,771 it’s opening weekend, was followed by “Major Movie Star” going straight to DVD. While on tour she also flubbed many of her live performances. Most assumed she was having a break down.

Via Vanity Fair:

“When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself – literally train myself – to ignore. Because I’m the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn’t one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place.”

(Hmm….there’s a thought.) Despite the failures she seems to be becoming synonymous with, Jessica seems to have faith that things will turn around.

“There will always be another opportunity,” she says, “another door to walk through.”

Awww…she’s like the little engine that could. Only a little less astute.

Megan Fox ‘Jonah Hex’ and ‘Esquire’ Photos

April 28, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

Some pictures of Megan Fox have leaked. The “actress” is seen on the set of her latest film, “Jonah Hex” which co-stars Josh Brolin and Will Arnett.

I am doing my best not to hate on this girl. It’s easy, right ladies? I mean she’s smokin’ hot but chooses to bang Brian Austin Green. That alone is enough. Brian Austin Green wasn’t even close to hot when he was on “Beverly Hills 90210.” Such a tool. And she took that unbelievable body of hers and covered it with completely random tattoos such as Marilyn Monroe’s face that adorns her forearm. I guess this is why guys love her: smokin’ hot, not a lot of sense, and willing to bang complete tools. She’s a dreamgirl.

So the film is about some comic book anti-hero who has a scarred face and a bad attitude. However, I am sure if you are looking at the pics, you could care less about the dudes in the film. The costume department has laced Megan into corset making her look like a real live version of Jasmine from ‘Aladdin’. Urg! Is it not enough that she is skinny on her own?!?

Also, the Fox is being featured as the first live-action cover of ‘Esquire’ magazine.

Via ‘Esquire’:

“You probably noticed there’s something different about this Megan Fox cover tease for our next issue: It wasn’t shot with a camera. At least not a still camera. For the first time in Esquire’s history (and, we imagine, magazine history in general), a cover image was shot as a video. Using the RedONE, a video camera that captures images at four times the resolution of high-definition, photographer-director Greg Williams recorded ten minutes of loosely scripted footage with Fox — getting out of bed, rolling around on a pool chair, inexplicably lighting a barbecue.”

Great. As if the teasers of her flashing her lady bits and garter belt isn’t enough to set my self-esteem back a few years.

The issue of ‘Esquire’, in which Megan tackles such tasks as rolling around, will be out in May.

Michelle Obama’s Vogue Spread – Photos

February 11, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

The First Lady of Fierce is on the cover of Vogue.

Michelle Obama is the second Presidential wife to graced the cover of the Fashion Bible. Hilary Clinton was first to make the cover in 1998. Annie Leibovitz was the photographer for the shoot that took place at the Hay-Adams Hotel. This was the Obama family’s digs before the official inauguration.

On the cover she is wearing a bold magenta dress by Jason Wu. (He was also responsible for her inaugural gown.) In the issue she also wears a simple little black dress by another of her personal favorites, Narciso Rodriguez. Inside she address a few questions one was about trying to keep her role as mother first in her life.

Via The Washington Post Per Vogue:

“I’m going to try to take [our two daughters] to school every morning – as much as I can,” she says, according to the Post. “But there’s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids’ school. I want to know the teacher; I want to know the other parents.”

Anna Wintour also sang her praises. (This speaks volumes as Wintour is a bit…well…picky.)

“Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama’s election campaign, though I don’t think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama’s wardrobe … It’s inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style.”

Thank God Annie let her keep her top on. What? Too soon?

Britney Spears Rolling Stone Cover Photos and Video

November 25, 2008 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Everyone is all squishy about Britney Spears starting to get her life back together. Rolling Stone got a hold of Spears after “jumping through hoops” for an interview. The cover is simple and features the popstar in a more casual and candid pose. Wearing a grey t-shirt and men’s jeans she looks….happy.

Meredith Vieira interviewed Britney’s interviewer. Jenny Eliscu sat down with her and had a “normal” conversation. I guess she expected Spears to be toting her Justin Timberlake shrine and asking for a goat head to sacrifice. Jenny was also “impressed” with her demeanor.

Good to see Ol’ Britney working it again. The issue comes out November 28th.
