FINALLY Kelly Rowland & Matthew Knowles Split





Kelly Rowland and her manager, Matthew Knowles, are going their separate ways.

Kelly released a statement, saying, “Matthew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance–both as a member of Destiny’s Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family.”

Matthew Knowles also says in a statement: “After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny’s Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost and as a dad I can only have love for Kelly.”

Rowland – who turns 27 next month – did not say who her new manager will be.

The City Signed For Season Two

Surprise Surprise "The City" on MTV Starring Whitney (from "The Hills") and my favorite (give her, her own show) Olivia Palermo has just signed on for season two. MTV has ordered another season of the hit show, following a stellar season-one debut. The show is suppose to be about Whitney's move from L.A. to the big city of N.Y, but not for nothing Olivia makes this worth the watch. Besides the drama (not interested) the restaurants, and clothes (on Olivia) are ridiculous not to mention their great job at DVF. If you think I'm lying, check it out Mondays, at 10 on MTV.

Vogue's September Issue Photoshopped

So there has been a lot of buzz at the Sundance Film Festival about R.J Cutler Documentary "The September Issue" Here's a brief description of the file "The September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine weighed nearly five pounds, and was the single largest issue of a magazine ever published. With unprecedented access, The September Issue, directed and produced by R.J. Cutler, tells the story of legendary Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and her larger-than-life team of editors creating the issue and ruling the world of fashion".

Sienna Miller graced the September cover and the film includes a glimpse at the Photo shopping that went into the cover. The Daily Mail writes Miller was "airbrushed within an inch of her life."
Apparently Anna Wintour calls Miller "toothy," while her staff worries she has "too many fillings" and "unruly hair." They also wound up Photo shopping one shot of Miller's head onto a different one of her body.

I can't wait to see this film, I am a magazine-o-holic. I will by the lastest magazine before I pay for lunch. (Sad, I know)

Taylor Swift to Launch Dress Collection

Taylor Swift will be collaborating with l.e.i. to develop her own line of $14 dresses, which will launch at Wal-Mart next month (Look out Miley). The 19-year-old explains that she is not a designer nor want to become one, she has respect for the craft and knows her place in life as a musician. Taylor says "I like people who have worked their entire lives to become designers. I think that they have their place as designers and I have my place as a musician, and I'm going to pretty much stick to that." Thanks goodness, if only other musician felt the same way.

Christian Lacroix Couture Spring 2009

Lacroix titled his show “The Designs of her Nature,” and in his program notes listed such moods as mischievous, elated and poised. Certainly Lacroix has neither Dior- nor Chanel-scale resources behind him, but his tempered approach seemed rooted in something apart from, or in addition to, the economy. It made for a quizzical collection. Lacroix showed some beautiful work - a deftly draped vermilion chiffon goddess gown; flamboyant bohemian layerings of painted gazar and chiffon - he doesn’t know how to make a bad dress. I LOVE the collection! View some of the pieces below, with Chanel Iman working the runway as well.












Kimora's Growing Belly

Tom Ford releases $990 jeans

Recession. What recession? If you live in the world of Tom Ford than it doesn't exist. And to prove it, he just launched a line of men’s jeans that will retail for a jaw-dropping $990! The jeans will be made of pre-washed/pre-shrunk Japanese selvage denim that will have the look of raw denim, but without the side-effects such as indigo bleed. In addition, the pockets are lined with the finest silk and the button closure is plated with 18-karat gold. Men will have the option of black or white as well as the traditional indigo color to compliment their wardrobes. We are dying to see what a pair of $990 jeans looks like. The fashion world was never in sync with reality, and it looks like Tom Ford is taking it to a whole new level.

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man



In Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve Harvey lets women inside the mindset of a man and sheds lights on concepts and questions such as:

– The Ninety Day Rule: Ford requires it of its employees. Should you require it of your man?
– How to spot a mama's boy and what if anything you can do about it.
– When to introduce the kids. And what to read into the first interaction between your date and your kids.
– The five questions every woman should ask a man to determine how serious he is.
– And more...

Sometimes funny, sometimes direct, but always truthful, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" is a book you must read if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships.

Rihanna, a Charlie's Angel?

Rihanna might be fitted for a role in the third installment of 'Charlie's Angels' ! Rumor is Rihanna is being considered for a follow up to the blockbusters 'Charlie's Angels' and 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' that have starred Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore. Making the statement that actresses should start pitching for a role as a fourth angel in the film, Nancy Juvonen, one of the producers says "I'm having a Rihanna fixation myself". It's no secret that Rihanna has been eying Hollywood. Recently dismissing her role in the flick "Mama Black Widow" Rihanna admitted she's open to looking at scripts and admires Angelina Jolie's work on screen. The last Charlie's Angels flick, titled 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' was released in 2003. Can you see Rihanna in Charlie's Angels alongside Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz ?

First Lady Michell O. to Cover VOGUE




It appears Vogue has finally landed First Lady Michelle Obama for a cover — and it could be out in the next few weeks. Thank Obama’s hairdresser for confirming the news: Frédéric Fekkai stylist Johnny Wright. A Vogue spokesman stayed on script about whether Michelle Obama will make a cover appearance, saying simply, “We’re very interested in working with the First Lady.” Nevertheless, all signs point to go for Mrs. Obama’s cover turn. Photographer Annie Leibovitz, who shoots for many Condé Nast titles, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, was spotted in Washington last week leaving the Hay-Adams Hotel, where the Obamas were staying before their eventual move to the White House. And since the March Vogue’s spring fashion issue, which hits newsstands in mid-February, is one of the thickest of the year, most observers suspect that would be the most likely one to feature the new First Lady (and family).
