Jennifer Lawrence is the biggest actress in the world right now; do you know why? It is not because she stars in two mega franchises. It is not because she has an off screen personality that makes her accessible and endearing. It’s not even because she is an Oscar winning actress at the sprite age
It has come to my attention that we have reached a critical juncture in our society. People, and by people I mean celebrities, have been engaging fans and haters alike on social networks to some foolish to disastrous results. From the Ian Bohen tomfoolery to Dylan O’Brien casually replying to a fan who said they wanted to rape him if The Purge was real, things have just gone to shit (well not really but go with me here). I found myself the past two days, wanting it to go on forever cause I found it hilarious and wanting it to end out of mercy for their mentions. However, I’m a giving person, so I decided to help these social network challenged celebs out with a few tips to maximize your potential.
Beyonce has been everywhere the past few weeks from those fake rumors about her pregnancy to her lead single Grown Woman leaking. Now she’s indulging her more ratchet side by joining with hit-maker The Dream and couthless rapper 2Chainz on ‘Turnt’. When I heard the snippet for this song two weeks ago, I instantly started body rolling and I am happy to report that the rest of the song lives up its potential. The single comes from The Dream’s new album IV play which is set to drop soon. Check it out after the jump!
To start off, I love me some Angelina Jolie. She’s perhaps the only actress I will line up opening day to see, she’s incredibly sexy, a great celebrity whose life is endlessly fascinating, and she’s extremely philanthropic. In short she’s this generation’s Elizabeth Taylor and we all stand in awe of her. Yesterday, she released an op-ed in the NY Times speaking about how she arrived at the decision to have preventative double mastectomy surgery after taking a test that revealed she had the gene for breast and ovarian cancer. She speaks at length in the article about her mother who died from the disease, her children asking her if she would have the same fate and her partner Brad Pitt sticking by her side. Angie ends the piece by talking about how women should be proactive in their health as well as subtly critiquing the health care system for the cost of this test.
Of course what’s a 10 best dressed list without a companion piece about the 10 worst dressed people. I thoroughly enjoy this event specifically because since everyone comes looking a fool you have so many options to choose from! But let’s be honest, there was only one person that could conceivably be named worst dressed of them all. I include 10 full people but the person who takes the cake is Kim Kardashian. I mean look at the picture to the right. Kim K, Kimmy Cakes, Kimberly Kardashian, girl, Ma’am, what is this look? Whyyyyy did you come outside looking like a botanic garden? You are wearing a gigantic floral print dress with matching gloves??? If it weren’t for the crook in your elbow in this pic we wouldn’t be able to tell if you had any arms. I can’t believe that’s what Kim K wore to the MET Gala, given this was the first time she’s ever gotten to attend and was only there cause she’s Kanye’s plus one. I can’t even…let’s just move on.
The MET Gala is fashion’s biggest night celebrating the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s costume exhibit. It’s also the place where anybody who’s anybody attends and shows out fashion wise. This year’s exhibit, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, will examine punk’s impact on high fashion from the movement’s birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition will include original punk garments and recent, directional fashion to illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk’s visual symbols. With that theme in mind, let’s check out who dressed the best!
