If you thought that time, or Chris Brown’s reconciliation with Rihanna , might make Miranda Lambert temper her distaste for the singer, then think again. The country crooner, who slammed the R&B star and started a Twitter beef with him after he won big at the 2012 Grammy Awards, isn’t backing down. “I don’t get it. He beat on a girl… Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen,” Miranda tweeted in February 2012. In the new issue of Redbook , she explains: “I wanted everyone to know I don’t agree with the message it’s sending to young woman. It’s not okay. At all. To be celebrated after doing something like that.” “Yeah, I didn’t feel right about not saying something. The loudmouth that I am, I say what I think,” she says. “I’ve got these pistols tattooed on my arm, for God’s sake!” “I don’t think it’s right,” she said, adding that she doesn’t regret slamming Chris Brown . “I never will, and I will stand by what I said till the day that I die.” Lambert doesn’t consider this a celebrity feud, however. “There was no feud. I’m right, they’re wrong!” Bam. Team Miranda Team Chris View Poll »
Grigor Dimitrov is a 21-year old Bulgarian tennis player ranked among the top 50 in the world. But this up-and-comer sits atop a far more important list than the ATP ranking: he’s number-one in the heart of Maria Sharapova! Reporter Darren Rovell Tweeted on Saturday that Sharapova is “off the market” because she is dating Dimitrov, a rising star who has earned the nickname Baby Federer due to his fluid strokes and one-handed backhand. That’s an impressive accomplishment. Not as impressive as the fluid strokes he is apparently earning from Sharapova… but still. Maria , 25, was previously engaged to ex-NBA player Sasha Vujačić before the pair broke up in the spring of 2012.
We’ve been discussing that shady French Elle and their comments about black folks all week , and now they have finally decided to respond: French fashion magazine Elle has denied charges of racism after unleashing a storm by suggesting that a black American elite, inspired by the Obama couple, was finally embracing “white” fashion. The January 13 blog post entitled “Black fashion power” has drawn volleys of angry protest on both side of the Atlantic, with the New York Daily News tabloid saying it managed to “insult black Americans as a whole”. In the piece, which has since been removed from Elle’s website, journalist Nathalie Dolivo cited singers Erykah Badu or Rihanna and the actress Zoe Saldana, as black Americans who understood “the importance of style”. “In an America governed for the first time by a black American president, chic has become a plausible option for a community up until then bound by its streetwear codes,” she wrote. “In 2012, the ‘black-geoisie’ has integrated all the white codes … but with a twist, bourgeois with an ethnic reference that recalls their roots,” she argued. The US website Huffington Post slammed the piece last week, saying a clumsy attempt to praise black style had “unravelled into a string of controversial, stereotypical and insulting statements”. “So, being chic and sophisticated beyond jeans and a T-shirt has only been an option for black people since 2008 when Michelle Obama became First Lady?” it asked. French star journalist Audrey Pulvar, one of the rare black faces in France’s media landscape, also called the article “racist and imbecilic”. In a statement issued on Wednesday night, the body representing journalists at the style weekly defended their title. “No Elle is not racist,” the Societe Des Journalistes said in a statement, insisting the magazine had “never stopped campaigning for the dignity of all women for more than 60 years”. Elle editor Valerie Toranian also published an online apology, saying the weekly was “deeply sorry” to have caused offence, and has invited an anti-racism body to take part in a debate about the article. In a new post on Elle’s site, Dolivo also apologises for the article, saying it was an attempt to take a “positive” look at US society and style. SMH. We call bullsh*t on this one.

Has Serena been getting her cougar on with a much younger tennis pro??? Has Serena Williams moved on from her romance with Common to another tennis star? The former women’s No. 1 was spotted out in Paris on Monday with Bulgarian tennis pro Grigor Dimitrov. A spy tells us the pair had lunch at hip restaurant L’Avenue, and then left together for a romantic stroll on the streets of Paris, where Williams has an apartment. They were also spotted visiting the Eiffel Tower. Despite the age gap — Dimitrov is 20 and Williams 30 — the spy said, “They were laughing and seemed to really enjoy each other’s company. It looked like a first date.” Williams and rapper/actor Common dated on and off for a few years before splitting in 2010. Williams was back in Boston Tuesday night for Fed Cup matches against Belarus. Serena has swirled before so we can’t dismiss the possibility. Hit the flip to see the photo she tweeted with Grigor…
