  • Kendall Jenner Celebrates Sunset Strip Billboard, Talks Difficulty Breaking Into Modeling Industry

    Kendall Jenner is sporting her Calvins on a new billboard on the Sunset strip. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star recently spoke to People magazine about the achievement, as well as how difficult it was breaking into the fashion modeling industry.

    “You have no idea how many doors closed on me and how many adults were either initially reluctant to take a chance working with me or who outright laughed at me behind my back,” she explains. “It was kind of hard because all I was doing was going on go-sees, trying my best to break into this business as a teenager. I am so grateful to Marc Jacobs, Riccardo Tisci, Karl Lagerfeld, and Katie Grand, who took a chance on me that first season and gave me an opportunity. My parents taught me that work ethic is one of the most important keys in life, and I believe it.”

    Kendall admits it will take a while getting used to seeing herself on that giant billboard in her Calvins–even though it’s something she’s wanted for a very long time.

    “This will be my first billboard on Sunset, which I’m ecstatic about,” she said. “It’s really humbling, and honestly, I am a pretty shy person, but being part of the Calvin campaign and seeing myself up there will be a dream come true. I might have to eat every night at the Chateau Marmont with that hanging over my shoulder. ‘Oh yeah, that little thing? I didn’t notice.’”

    Kendall recently attended a launch party for that billboard, along with good friend and fellow model, Cara Delevingne.

    Kendall Jenner recently posed for a fashion shoot with photographer Stephen Klein that will appear in the May issue of V magazine.

    “He is such an intensely talented person but he is cool and actually quite hilarious to work with,” she said. “We have some sort of telepathic mojo. This shoot was particularly fun because he brought his three Great Danes. They’re huge and one of them even slightly bit my head, that’s how gigantic he was! My head’s okay though. Any chance that I can work with animals, I’m in.”

    Are you surprised to learn that many doors closed in Kendall Jenner’s face when she first tried making her way into the fashion modeling industry? Did you think she got in on her Keeping Up With the Kardashians credentials alone?

    Fans of Kendall Jenner are no doubt thrilled about her billboard on the Sunset strip. Do you expect the fashion world has seen only a fraction of what Kendall Jenner will one day accomplish?

  • Selena Gomez Poses Topless for V Magazine, Opens Up About Justin Beiber

    Selena Gomez has posed topless for the cover of V Magazine‘s spring 2015 edition.

    Wearing only a pair of jean short-shorts, Selena Gomez says goodbye to her Disney persona in a big way, looks very grown up and is smokin’ hot.

    Selena Gomez told the magazine, as she chatted with her Spring Breakers co-star James Franco for the accompanying article, that her next relationship will be very different from the very public on-again-off-again romance with Justin Bieber.

    “I think the next time will be much different…which will definitely not be any time soon. That’s a growing up kind of thing. I was 18 years old, and it was my first love. The older I get, I’m guarding certain things more. After being put through the scrutiny, I understand what it is,” she said. “When you’re young and you’re being told so many different things…it almost felt like all we had was each other, like the world was against us, in a way. It was really weird but it was incredible. I would never take it back in a million years. You live and you learn, you know?”

    Selena Gomez said the public attention and criticism she received while maneuvering the ups and downs of young love caused her quite a bit of grief.

    “There were a few months where I was a little depressed, where I wouldn’t leave [the house] as much,” she said. “I think I drove myself crazy for a little bit. It was just easier to say, ‘Hey, do you mind running to the grocery store and picking some stuff up, I don’t want to get photographed.’ I’m finally getting a little bit more comfortable. It’s a process.”

  • James Franco To Make Film With Lana Del Rey?

    James Franco is enchanted by the lovely Lana Del Rey.

    Franco himself is an artist of many mediums and can appreciate the deep, dark crevices of Lana Del Rey’s mind that slowly become apparent in her music and style.

    But, will the two ever collaborate?

    James Franco hopes so.

    He wrote of her mystique, “I wanted to interview Lana for a book and she said, ‘Just write around me, it’s better if it’s not my own words. It’s almost better if you don’t get me exactly, but try.”

    My man, @klausbiesenbach. Much on MLK Day.

    Interesting.

    James Franco went on to talk of a possible film collaboration.

    “She has this idea for a film. I want to do it because it’s a little like Sunset Boulevard. A woman is alone in a big house in LA. She doesn’t want to go out. She starts to go crazy, and becomes paranoid because she feels like people are watching her. Even in her own house.”

    He added, “It’s like an awesome B-movie that lives in Lana’s head. It’s about her, and it’s not about her. Just like her music.”

    Even back in December, James Franco was gushing about Lana Del Rey and her music to Howard Stern. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that she is absolutely beautiful, either.

    “There’s a weird thing with creative types,” James Franco said. “Sometimes I love a person’s work and, like, I’m just so enamored with that and their persona in their work. But outside of that, it’s like, our dynamic is we’re just kind of friends, we get along so well. But all this sexual attraction is for the person and the work.”

    What do you think? Would you love to see a collaboration between James Franco and Lana Del Rey?

  • Christina Aguilera Has A New Baby, Shares “Lil Diva” Photo On Twitter

    After welcoming her latest bundle of joy last August, Christina Aguilera shared over Twitter the first photo of Summer Rain Rutler, the superstar’s first daughter with fiancé Matt Rutler. The five-month-old baby was snapped by her proud momma while crawling away from the camera. Summer was wearing a cute pink dress and an adorable diaper cover with the words “Lil Diva” embroidered on it.

    “Watch out…another one’s getting ready to conquer the world! #driven #diva2,” Christina Aguilera captioned the picture which now has more than 2,000 retweets and 5,000 likes.  Summer is the second child for the blonde singer. She has a seven-year-old son with her previous husband, music exec Jordan Bratman.

    During at the height of her pregnancy with Summer, the singer famously posed nude for V Magazine. The article, “Christina Aguilera is Giving Life!” was a hit on social media when it was unveiled last year. Aguilera revealed in the interview that she’s extremely proud of her body, saying: “As a woman, I’m proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store.”

    Baby Summer was also present in the recording studio as the hit-maker was seen working hard at preparing for her upcoming album even with the baby bump in full view.

    Christina Aguilera will be sitting pretty on the revolving chair when the hit reality singing competition, The Voice, returns next month. The singer will be dishing out on all the best performances with Pharrell Williams, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine for the show’s groundbreaking 8th season.

    For now, the “Say Something” singer is spending quality time with her little ones before her hectic schedule kicks into full gear. Will Baby Summer be like Beyonce and Jay-Z’s Blue Ivy who debuted her singing career by appearing in one of his father’s tracks? We sure can’t wait for Christina Aguilera’s next album which is slated to be released this year.

  • Christina Aguilera Gives Birth to Baby Girl

    Christina Aguilera and fiance Matt Rutler are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on Saturday August 16th at a hospital in Los Angeles. A rep for the singer and past coach on The Voice has confirmed the birth. Mom and baby are said to be doing just fine.

    This is the second time in the birthing room for Christina Aguilera. Son Max, from her previous marriage to Jordan Bratman, is now six years old.

    It was this past February when Aguilera announced her pregnancy–just a week after announcing she had become engaged to Matt Rutler.

    The almost-dual announcement was very exciting–not only for her and her fiance–but for her fans from The Voice as well.

    Summer pregnancies can be difficult, given the extra heat and humidity. That didn’t seem to be the case for Christina, however.

    And she made sure Max knew he was still her main man.

    This pregnancy definitely didn’t put a damper on Christina Aguilera’s profession either. She spent time in the recording studio just a few days before this baby’s birth.

    Pregnancy definitely didn’t keep the singer from her lifestyle of living on the edge. She made time to pose nude for V magazine.

    “As a woman, I’m proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store,” she said at the time of the nude photo shoot.

    If Christina Aguilera managed to do all that while pregnant with her baby girl, just imagine what she’ll do now that the baby is here. Hopefully she will take some time off and simply be a mom to both Max and her as-yet-unnamed daughter, and maybe enjoy a little down time for herself.

    Is that even possible, however, for a mom with a new baby and a 6-year-old?

  • Celine Dion: Photo Shoot Involves Nudity, Stuffed Animals

    Celine Dion is not the first person you think of when you think “wild” (although her Vegas show is certainly imaginative); she always looks glamorous and well put-together and is soft-spoken in interviews, her French accent adding a delicate lilt to her voice.

    But in a new interview with V Magazine, the songstress lets her wild child out and gets naked for a photo shoot…except for the pants covered in stuffed animals, that is. And she insists her real life isn’t too far off from what’s portrayed in the shoot.

    “I’m like this in my real life. I was scared a little bit because this was so different for me, but I’m glad I did it,” she said. “Usually there’s always a reason when I do a photo shoot, there’s not the opportunity to go crazy. With this it was two in the morning and I was still jumping on the trampoline. In the house, in my normal life, we are always playing. It doesn’t seem this way on stage, but I’m playing a lot.”

    Odd fashions aside, I think this could be the best Celine has ever looked.
