this is for the girl who can rock her pretty dress and limited edition kicks...the lady who watches the best music on mtv, then flips right over to bbc news...the chick who is ghetto fabulous and a sweet suburbanite...the woman who is street smart and holds a degree...oh, and this is also for the male who diggs THAT type of female...
Here's the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine featuring Jon Hamm and the leading ladies of "Mad Men." If you don't watch this show, please round up the previous seasons on DVD and get yourself up to date on the first cable drama in history to ever receive the Emmy for best TV drama three years in a row. Tell them ms.rea sent you.
The gentlemen's magazine is paying tribute to the fallen 'Angel' on their new cover. Would this be considered a tribute or a sleazy way to make money for the publication?
The gorgeous Fawcett has appeared in the magazine a few times from 1978 to 1995.
Above is the cover subscribers will receive, and below is the cover that will be featured on newsstands.
In Janet Jackson's first interview since Michael's passing, she talks about her strength, the term "Princess of Pop", and her brother's love of all things shiny.
Gwen Stefani, one of my top favorite gals, looks soft and fresh on the cover of Glamour magazine. As the magazine puts it: Like any good girlfriend, Gwen Stefani spills her secret style resources, her favorite chic cheapies and what she loves about her new Harajuku Lovers fragrance collection. She even hangs with GLAMOUR to talk about the husband and kids. Listen in—she’s as cool as she looks.
Today I was blessed to finally find the UK Q magazine at Barnes & Noble. It was the LAST magazine MJ posed for before he passed on. The mag printed the article in the present tense and then followed up with some tribute pages. This will be a bittersweet read because it's safe to assume this was done to promote his comeback tour in London.
After a long stint at B&N listening to the "Off the Wall" album being played in the Starbucks section then catching a classical instrumental rendition of "Smooth Criminal" as I perused for books, I came home and found an Amazon.com box waiting for me. I knew I recently ordered ONE item and it was a pre-sale item due to be released in August. To my delight it was the biography of MJ's life, "The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story". The 700+ page bio is written by an author/journalist who's known Michael since he was 18 and interviewed him and his family numerous times. I can't wait to start reading this and hopefully it will put to rest my MJ obsession.
First off, I'd like to go on the record and say that in no way am I trying to gossip or trash talk. All I'm doing is giving my opinion and I hope that I don't offend anyone who happens to read this.
So, in the new issue of OK! magazine, their cover story is saying that Michael Jackson's three children want to stay/live with their Aunt Janet. The mag reports that Prince, Paris and Blanket “...just melt into [Janet's] arms when she walks into the house.” Honestly, I think that Janet taking them on would be a wise choice. She's the youngest of the Jackson siblings and she doesn't have any other children to care for, therefore she would be able to give them the attention that they need.
Although MJ's wishes involved his mother Katherine and Diana Ross, my opinion is that he looked at those women as maternal figures because that's what they were to him [at one point he said he and his brothers stayed with Diana for a while] ]and they made him feel comfortable. So, it was a natural choice on his part to nominate them as the guardians for his children.
I don't have any doubt that Katherine could handle those kids. Except for Blanket, the older two are at an age where they can help. Not for nothing, but Prince will be able to legally drive in about 3 years. My point is, they aren't infants and I'm not saying that their age and being able to help outweighs their emotional state.
But as I said before, I honestly do think Janet would be the best fit for them if anything at least after Katherine feels as though she could not handle it anymore.
Now, on a lighter note , after going back and listening to some MJ songs on his album "HIStory" and watching his interviews where he's bashing the "tabloid" media I won't be purchasing this magazine. The "Be Our Mommy" caption makes me cringe because I know this is a far cry from the truth of the matter. But I do believe that where this is smoke there is fire, and most of the time these rags are the smoke and fire. So I guess we will have to see how this all plays out.
MJ's fans just want what is best for the kids, and I think that would be for them to remain with the Jackson family-sans Joe...I'm just saying.
Allen graces the cover of the August issue i-D magazine. According to her website she was "Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Kate Moss." In the i-D article she discusses fame and which Spice Girl she would choose to be. I'm a big Lily fan so this magazine will definitely be making its way into my periodical collection!
ps. Check out her new music video for the single "22" on With or Without You!
This friday I will be seeing my FAVORITE BAND-NO DOUBT live for the first time! I'm more than excited, I'm jumping out of my skin. This was the band I'd send some cash to (via my mother because I was too young to work at the time) just to receive autographed pics, stickers and tees. Posters, magazines, CDs, even cassettes-I got 'em.
And remember that classic Spin magazine that only displayed Gwen on the cover?
Yup! bought it and still have it :)
And on there most recent issue of the magazine, the whole band has graced the cover.
Also, Gwen is featured on the latest issue of Elle (cop it) and it's all about women in music. Great issue.
So, if you'll be at the PNC in Jersey screaming your head off to every single song like me, I hope you have an awesome time. I can't wait to see all of the Gwen-a-bees' style from the 1990s up to the present day. It's going to be great. Ps. Janelle Monae and Paramore are the opening acts... I'll be there early and ready.
Nicole Richie and beau Joel Madden were at the Santa Monica, CA grand opening of Esprit (my bread and butter). They were a part of the 'How We Met' campaign and 10% of all the sales went towards their Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.
I must say I've been obsessing over my favorite socialite lately and have also picked up mags with Ms. Richie as the cover girl.
ps. the scarf she's wearing is Esprit and in stores now!! LOVES ITTTTTTTTTTTT! ;)
i got my hands on this tonight and i'm sooooooo happy! it's super thick and i'm saving it for friday night when i get to cool down after a long week :)
ps. Michelle Obama is the 2nd First Lady to ever be on the cover of Vogue. the first was Hillary Clinton.
this just came in the mail about 30 minutes ago and i had to scan it and post (i couldn't find a pic of it online). i breezed through it and it talks about M.I.A.'s clothing line, has some collages of CHANEL and talks about... what else? IT GIRLS!
