  • Kendall Jenner Talks Relationship With Kylie Jenner

    Kendall Jenner and little sister Kylie Jenner don’t engage in any sibling rivalry. In fact, Kendall says the Keeping Up With the Kardashians siblings are very close.

    “If you really want the truth, I text Kylie so many times and I look like a desperate girlfriend or something because she does not respond to me. She loves me though so it’s ok,” Kendall Jenner admits.

    Both Kendall, as a fashion model, and Kylie, as the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and girlfriend of Tyga, are used to getting all dolled up for work and play. Kendall Jenner, however, claims she doesn’t much care what she looks like on Instagram.

    “Every girl knows, for that one selfie that gets posted, there’s like a hundred that goes behind it. The worst thing you can do in a selfie, there’s not really anything you can do bad in a selfie,” Kendall says in the May issue of GQ magazine.

    She also appears on the magazine’s cover.

    Both Kylie and Kendall Jenner must wonder what life will be like one day when Keeping Up With the Kardashians comes to an end.

    “It’s actually really hard for me to think of. But that day will come, and it’ll be fine,” Kendall says.

    “I don’t think it would be worse. Everything that happens is still going to happen, just minus the cameras,” she adds.

    And Kendall Jenner will likely still be texting her little sister many times each day about all those happenings. At least Kylie Jenner no doubt hopes she will.

  • Chrissy Teigen, John Legend: Sexy, Sizzling Photo Shoot

    Chrissy Teigen and John Legend steamed things up recently with their sexy, sizzling hot photo shoot. The spread appears in February’s issue of GQ magazine.

    In one of the borderline erotica photos, Legend has his wife sprawled seductively across a dinner table, with her dress riding up and her ample cleavage front and center in the shot. In another, the two are on a bed, with Chrissy Teigen wearing a bra, underwear, and sexy heels.

    February’s GQ doesn’t feature John Legend and Chrissy Teigen solely for the sex factor, however. The two are interviewed within its pages and they talk candidly about their efforts to secure food trucks for the Eric Garner protestors in New York City back in December.

    “That was Chrissy’s idea,” Legend said, clearly proud of his wife.

    Teigen added that she booked the vehicles from a rental site herself and was worried about whether the vendors would actually show up to cook and distribute the food.

    “Obvously it’s kind of a hot-button topic–you don’t know who’s going to want to be involved,” she said. “But everybody was so down. And so for the cause.”

    The cause most readers of GQ will be seeking when they pick up their February issue is Chrissy Teigen in her various stages of undress. Sure, they can say all they want about needing to know about the brains and beliefs behind this power couple, but there’s no question what they’re buying that magazine to see.

  • Matthew McConaughey Wants The Redskins To Keep Name

    Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder does not want to change the team’s name despite pressure that many people feel that the name is racist and derogatory to Native Americans. Now, it looks like he has a supporter in Matthew McConaughey.

    The Academy Award winning actor recently sat down for an interview with GQ and talked about why he thinks the NFL team should keep its name. “Man, it’s twofold. What interests me is how quickly it got pushed into the social consciousness. We were all fine with it since the 1930s, and all of a sudden we go, ‘No, gotta change it’? It seems like when the first levee breaks, everybody gets on board.”

    Although McConaughey grew up in Texas, he became a Redskins fan because he always rooted for the Indians when he watched Westerns as a kid. “I know a lot of Native Americans don’t have a problem with it, but they’re not going to say, ‘No, we really want the name.’ That’s not how they’re going to use their pulpit,” McConaughey added. “It’s like my feeling about gun control: I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let’s forget that right. Let’s forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it’s in the wrong hands in other places.”

    Despite a petition being started, massive media backlash, and fan protests, Snyder insists on keeping his team’s name. “I’ve listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on all sides, and I respect the feelings of those who are offended by the team name,” Snyder wrote in a letter regarding the matter. “But I hope such individuals also try to respect what the name means, not only for all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native Americans too.”

    What do you think of McConaughey’s stance?

  • Anna Faris & Chris Pratt Talk Son’s Early Struggles

    Anna Faris and Chris Pratt seem to have it all: money, good looks, successful careers. However, the couple had a major scare when their son Jack was born nine weeks premature in August, 2012.

    During a recent interview with GQ magazine, Pratt was one of six people selected as the publication’s 2014 Men (and Women) of the Year, Faris explained the scary ordeal, “He was born at three pounds and we were told, Okay, you need to be prepared for raising a special-needs child. And we felt like it was devastating, but it also felt like, you know, we can do this.”

    Pratt revealed in an interview with People magazine last July how the couple coped with the situation. “We were scared for a long time. We prayed a lot.” Pratt added, “It restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it. The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect.”

    Faris and Pratt say that young Jack is healthy, his only current medical issue is having to wear glasses.

    Here’s a tweet of little Jack posted by Faris in July, 2013.

    If you’re wondering if there is going to be a follow up to the enormously successful Guardians of the Galaxy, wonder no more. Pratt confirmed that the sequel is currently in development. Additionally, the 35-year-old actor just wrapped production for Jurassic World, the fourth Jurassic Park movie.

  • Michael Sam On GQ’s Men of the Year List

    Michael Sam may never take the field in a game as a player in the National Football League. However, that doesn’t mean that he is going unnoticed. GQ magazine released a sneak peek of its 2014 Men (and Women) of the Year, and Sam will be on one of the six different covers.

    After finishing college at the University of Missouri, Sam was expected to be a mid-to-late round draft pick. However, before the draft, Sam revealed in an interview with ESPN’s Outside the Lines, “I am an openly, proud gay man.”

    The admission was revolutionary, there were no openly gay football players in the NFL. Sam was eventually drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the 7th round of the 2014 draft, even sharing a kiss on television with his boyfriend after hearing the news.

    However, Sam was cut by the Rams in August. Although the Dallas Cowboys signed the defensive end to the practice squad in September, he was released by the team in late October. He is currently a free agent and would be allowed to sign with another squad.

    GQ revealed all six covers today. There will be a story on each person released every day this week. Joining Sam on the diverse list for Men (and Women) of the Year are: Guardians of the Galaxy movie star Chris Pratt, comedian Dave Chappelle, actor/comedian Steve Carell, and The Fault in Our Stars actors Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley.

    What do you think of the list? Did GQ miss a contender?

  • Human Barbie Described As A “Racist Space Alien”

    By now you’ve probably heard stories about the Human Barbie. Or perhaps you’ve even seen a picture of Valeria Lukyanova and breezed right by because upon first glance you thought she was an actual Barbie doll, not a real 28-year-old woman.

    In a revealing interview with GQ Magazine, the veneer gets stripped back, and despite Valeria’s best efforts to appear plastic, GQ Russian editor in chief Michael Idov gets the human doll to reveal a few personal opinions.

    First, she isn’t from California, although she obviously looks like she could have come straight out of Malibu. She’s actually from Tiraspol, a very poor city in the independent country of Moldova, which is located in Eastern Europe south of Ukraine.

    Valeria is obviously totally and completely obsessed with looking like a Barbie doll. However, the only surgery she claims to have had done is breast implants.

    Valeria doesn’t want children of her own. In fact, she cringes at the mere thought of having a family. “It’s unacceptable to me. The very idea of children brings out this deep revulsion in me…I’d rather die from torture because the worst thing in the world is to have a family lifestyle.” She also added, “I’m against feminism…what would you keep the children for? So they can get you a glass of water when you’re on your deathbed?”

    When Idov asks Valeria about how the ideal of beauty has changed over time, Valeria points the finger at mixed races. “For example, a Russian marries an Armenian. They have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad’s nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it’s all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there’s degeneration, and it didn’t used to be like that. Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this.”

    At this point, Idov can’t believe that his expectations for the interview have been totally obliterated. “I realize that just like everyone reading about Human Barbie, I had had a simple narrative prepared in my head: A small-town girl grows up obsessed with dolls, etc. Instead, I get a racist space alien.”

  • Pharrell Badly Wants Hillary Clinton For President

    Let the celebrity endorsements begin.

    In an interview with GQ magazine, singer, rapper, and producer Pharrell Williams said he loves the idea of Hillary Clinton possibly running for President in 2016, and if she does run, she has his full support.

    Plus, Williams believes the former First Lady is going to win. He almost guarantees it.

    “Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win,” said Williams.

    “Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Blood; you got the Crips. Everything is red and blue in this country. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red.”

    “That means there’s unity,” he added. “There’s gonna be unity, so when you think about a night where there’s a late-night talk show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world, right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women….That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins.”

    In addition, the 40 year old Virginia Beach native said Hillary’s potential presidential run represents a changing of the guards in America–just like Obama’s victory did–and he also believes that more people want change in this country than not, and it’s that collective desire that will put Hillary in the oval office, says Williams.

    Plus, he says that he loves Bill Clinton and he’s happy that the American people could possibly have both minds running the country.

    “I can’t say but so much, but Hillary’s gonna win,” he stated. “Trust me, and it’s a two-for-one: Bill is the coolest dude in the game. Still plays saxophone, and every woman in the world wants him. It’s a two-for-one…..Everybody laughed at me when I said Obama was going to win, but I knew what he represented. But I know what Hillary represents: She represents a woman in power, and she did great as the Secretary of State. She’s gonna win.”

  • Katy Perry Won’t Check Out Your Instagram Page

    It seems that people are still buzzing about the interview Katy Perry gave GQ magazine for it’s February issue, especially the parts about losing her virginity and praying to God for large breasts.

    So it’s likely that buzz will grow even stronger since GQ released some of her answers that weren’t used in the article. For example, Perry said she doesn’t like to look at people’s Instagram page and gets bothered when she’s asked if she’s seen a certain photo or not.

    “There’s too much self-importance in this world,” she said.

    “God knows, I hate an entitled [expletive]. Like, when people say ‘You didn’t see my Instagram? No, I didn’t see your Instagram. I’m doing something else. I’m living my own life. Send it to me if you want me to see it,’” which is a bit ironic considering Perry posts tons of images on her Instagram account, and it’s safe to assume that she expects a lot of people to view them.

    Also in the interview, the “Dark Horse” singer said that she loves dating musicians, because they understand what goes on in a musician’s mind. Plus, she said the first CD she ever bought was Incubus’s “Make Yourself” album in 1999.

    “The wonderful thing about dating a musician is that they understand the shoes I’m walking in,” she noted. “When both of your first love is music, there’s so much that you just don’t have to explain. You can save your energy.”

    Perry also told the story about her Incubus CD breaking in two, after she hid it from her parents. Apparently, she wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music back then.

    “I brought it home at the bottom of my knapsack, with stuff on top of it,” she explained. “My parents never searched my bag, but my mom has got a pretty good intuition and a great connection with God, so I thought she’s going to know something’s up.

    “So I remember going up to my room and I put my comforter in the crack of the door to make it hard to get in. And I opened it up and tried to pull the CD out and it breaks in two like the Ten Commandments, and I was like, ‘Maybe this is a sign. I should never be listening to this music.’”

  • Duck Dynasty: #ISTANDWITHPHIL is Back on Twitter

    Phil Robertson’s hashtag is back on Twitter #IStandWithPhil. The social media forum has apologized for “accidentally” blocking the link for the website for Robertson’s petition after his supporters expressed outrage and cried censorship.

    Now that the Twitter link is once again up and running, Robertson advocates can easily access the website for the petition. The header for the site: PETITION TO THE A&E NETWORK DEMANDING THE IMMEDIATE REINSTATEMENT OF DUCK DYNASTY’S PHIL ROBERTSON – #ISTANDWITHPHIL. The goal of 250,000 signatures is currently just a few thousand short.

    Here’s a look at the petition’s first few paragraphs:

    Dear A&E Network,

    I am writing to you regarding your network’s intolerant, discriminatory, and punitive treatment of Mr. Phil Robertson, star of A&E’s #1 hit show, Duck Dynasty.

    Mr. Robertson’s comments in GQ Magazine are simply reflective of a Biblical view of sexuality, marriage, and family – a view that has stood the test of time for thousands of years and continues to be held by the majority of Americans and today’s world as a whole.

    Many members of the LGBT community may not agree with this view, but the notion that a free-thinking American should be discriminated against simply for expressing a perspective that is in conflict with another is patently un-American and flies in the face of true tolerance and civility. A&E’s position, which in your own words is “championing” the gay and lesbian community — which I believe you have the freedom to do — excludes the views of Faith Driven Consumers and effectively censors a legitimate viewpoint held by the majority of Americans.

    Robertson was suspended from the uber-popular A&E reality program, “Duck Dynasty,” after making anti-gay remarks in an interview with GQ magazine. “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

    “Duck Dynasty” averages about 14 million viewers a week. It is the most watched reality cable show in the history of television and is a bonafide pop culture sensation and marketing machine. Its fans are obviously quite loyal to Phil Robertson, since his A&E suspension, supporters have flooded the internet.

    Mr. Robertson’s suspension has also brought up the boundaries of free speech. Even non-“Duck Dynasty” fans, like Sarah and Bristol Palin are coming out in his defense. The crux of their argument centers upon the idea that unpopular or “non-politically correct” speech should not be swept under the rug for fear of its potential consequences.

  • Bristol Palin: “Leave Phil Robertson Alone!”

    Bristol Palin: “Leave Phil Robertson Alone!”

    Two days ago former Vice Presidential candidate and Tea Party leader Sarah Palin spoke out in favor of “Duck Dynasty” reality star Phil Robertson. Now, her daughter Bristol Palin is doing the same.

    Bristol, 23, responded to the controversy in a blog post which she titled, “Leave Phil Robertson Alone!” Her main argument in coming to Robertson’s defense was the nature of free speech. “I hate how the LGBT community says it’s all about ‘love’ and ‘equality.’ However, if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, they spread the most hate. It is so hypocritical it makes my stomach turn. They need to learn how to respect others’ opinions and not just jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn’t support homosexuality and gay marriage is homophobic.”

    The controversy started when Robertson expressed some rather non-politically correct sentiments in an interview with GQ magazine. “It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there!” Robertson would also add, “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there—bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”

    After the expected outrage, A&E decided to put Robertson on “indefinite hiatus.” Bristol Palin then took to her personal Facebook page in response to the cable network’s decision.

    Post by Bristol Palin.

    “Duck Dynasty” is a huge hit show for A&E, averaging about 14 million viewers weekly. Those numbers make it the most watched reality cable show ever, and it does better in the Nielsen Ratings than most network television programs. It is also a pop culture sensation. In case you’ve never seen the show, it provides a look into the life of a Louisiana clan who became wealthy making products for duck hunters.

    Tell us what you think? Is the world becoming too politically correct?

  • Dylan Penn Shows Cleavage & Talks Robert Pattinson

    During a recent interview with GQ magazine, Dylan Penn opens up about her love-life rumors pertaining to Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson. She is also seen, in a spread, showing some (or a lot) of cleavage wearing extremely short shorts and a plunging neckline. You may not immediately recognize Penn, but if you take a closer look, you will see a mixture of movie stars Sean Penn and Robin Wright.

    “We’re talking about Rob here?” she said when asked about the increasing amount of attention she has been receiving. “That’s been very foreign to me. But actually kind of funny, because it’s all bullshit.” Although there hasn’t been an official boyfriend/girlfriend title put on any of Penn’s relationship yet, she has also been seen with Vampire Diaries’ Steven R. McQueen. Maybe Penn has a thing for these vampire boys.

    So, what kind of pick-up line will get Penn’s attention? “It has to be funny. It has to make me laugh. It can be crude, it can be lighthearted, it doesn’t matter. It just has to be funny,” Penn admits.
