Monday May 1, GRAMMY nominated artist Jhené Aiko celebrated the launch of her Teva x Jhené Aiko collection with a private event at NeueHouse in Los Angeles, California. The ethereal cool girl wore an ATM bodysuit paired with Moussy denim and a Thompson Street Studio by Susan Cianciolo and Kiva Motnyk kimono from the Hammer Museum. Jhené mingled with guests at the private event that took place on NeueHouse’s posh penthouse rooftop where she previewed the collection for an intimate crowd ahead of its May 2 public launch. Guests also enjoyed a vegan dinner with the artist who talked about the inspiration behind her second collection with Teva. Beau Big Sean also showed up to support and celebrate her new collection. The Teva x Jhené Aiko collection is a fusion of Teva’s most iconic sandal silhouettes and the singer-songwriter’s daring yet eclectic style. Built with the adventurous soul in mind, the three exclusive shoe styles are available beginning May 2 at Teva.com , starting at $75. Check out more photos on the flip!

Tara Reid was at my friend Steve Aoki’s event at Wet Republic in Vegas this past weekend, and not only did he get a nice long hug from her, but he got her into one of his props, an inflatable dingy to ride the sea of people, like they were a sea of water…in some new generation crowd surfing, done by the old generation, because at 37, despite being tight bodied and big fake titty busty, she’s like the grandmother of Spring Break pool parties…a veteran since that’s all she’s been doing the last 2 decades, longer than most of the people at the party have been alive….I guess the kids still respond to her in ways they don’t respond to my old ass at pool parties, where I’m just there to creep on people, because I am not a celebrity… I prefer Tara Reid holding onto her youth with more vagina lips…but I’ll take this adventurous old lady who may not be 40, but might as well be 40…and I’d still have sex with her as often as possible if I could. There’s just something about drunken messes I love that comes from how preserved they are from all the fumes they are riding off of… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS FOLLOW THIS LINK

Peter Jackson is currently experiencing the direct opposite of the CinemaCon Oscar Hype phenomenon explored here last week, with his Hobbit — shot at the adventurous rate of 48 frames per second — drawing more than a few skeptics out of the geek woodwork. This calls for damage control. “Nobody is going to stop,” Jackson told EW late Friday, days after his 10-minute Hobbit preview was dismantled by the CinemaCon press corps. “This technology is going to keep evolving.” That wasn’t all, and oddly or not, Jackson’s admonitions didn’t sound so different from those of CinemaCon darling Ang Lee , who would really rather you just wait and see the entire movie before leaping to conclusions: “At first it’s unusual because you’ve never seen a movie like this before. It’s literally a new experience, but you know, that doesn’t last the entire experience of the film–not by any stretch, [just] 10 minutes or so,” Jackson tells EW. “That’s a different experience than if you see a fast-cutting montage at a technical presentation.” So what does he say to people who just decide they don’t like the glossy new look of the format he’s using? “I can’t say anything,” Jackson acknowledges. “Just like I can’t say anything to someone who doesn’t like fish. You can’t explain why fish tastes great and why they should enjoy it.” When it debuts Dec. 14., The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be the first major performance for 48-frames, while this week’s showcase was just an audition. Jackson says those who remain unconvinced should wait to see more before closing their minds completely. “There can only ever be a real reaction, a truthful reaction, when people actually have a chance to see a complete narrative on a particular film,” he said. Now watch it sweep the Oscars . I’m just saying. [ EW ] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
Dean McDermott is only famous because he’s married to Tori Spelling and the couple exploits its cute children on a nauseating, utterly contrived reality show. It’s rather disgusting. Still, we wish no physical harm on McDermott, which is why we hope he recovers quickly from this week’s dirt bike accident. As of this writing, he’s in the intensive care unit of a California hospital with a punctured and collapsed lung. “He’s in a lot of pain,” Spelling said, adding that her husband has finally concluded his adventurous hobby isn’t worth such consequences. “He’s taking this as a sign and realizing family is too important to risk his life.” McDermott was taken to a Los Angeles hospital after crashing on Tuesday. He was bleeding severly at the scene, but was fortunately able to Tweet today: Thanks for the well wishes. A collapsed lung is no fun, and is a lengthy heal. Feeling pretty bad today. Day 2 is always the worst. Because Dean is injured, we’ll refrain from asking the obvious question here: Who on earth is following Dean McDermott on Twitter?!?!? Because Tori and her man had often argued about his dirt biking riding, she relayed the exchanged they shared soon after she arrived by his hospital bed: “When I first saw him he just softly said ‘I’m so sorry.'” I just held his hand and cried. That’s when he said, ‘I’ll never do this again. You and the kids mean everything to me.’ ” The married pair has two kids: Liam 3; and Stella, 2.
