Tracee Ellis Ross Is Total Curl-Fection On Allure Cover

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Morgan Lieberman / Getty Tracee Ellis Ross is truly having her own Bad B*tch Fall . Not only did the 47-year-old stunner launch her natural hair care line Pattern , she’s back this season for black-ish and mixed-ish (a comedy she narrates, co-created and produces), but she’s been killing the magazine game. Not only was she the cover girl for Glamour UK’s November issue , but she is gracing us again on the cover of Allure . As part of their “See Yourself, See Each Other,” series partnership with Ulta , Ross looks fresh on their digital cover rocking a brown Bottega Veneta jumpsuit, a Gucci earring (worn as a brooch) and Mateo green drop earrings. Of course, she used her own Pattern products to achieve her signature curls.   View this post on Instagram “It’s about taking up space. It’s about being who you are and being supported in that and being loved for that. For that exact thing that is who you are.” @traceeellisross opened up to Allure about her thoughts on self-acceptance and how it served as inspiration in the creation of her new hair care line @PatternBeauty.

Too often, covers are aggressively lit and photoshopped, but not this one.) In her interview , Ross admits that she worried that for the initial launch of Pattern at Ulta, they were going to stock too much product, but she soon realized that within days all 1200 Ulta locations basically sold out of her line. She also shares what this line for Black women means to her. “It was about actually expanding the paradigm and allowing us to see ourselves in all of our beauty,” Ross tells Allure. “To have our beauty reflected back to us in imagery and in [a] narrative that was about who we are, and our legacy and our power.”   View this post on Instagram “You’ll spend years holding yourself to a beauty standard that doesn’t make space for you.” For this special edition digital cover, we talked to @TraceeEllisRoss about her mission as an actress, executive producer, and beauty entrepreneur. Ross shared her personal journey of self-acceptance for #SeeYourselfSeeEachOther, our ongoing mission with @ultabeauty to inspire individuals to embrace their unique beauty.

(The price ranges from $9-$42.) That and Tracee understands that for all of our hair, we need larger bottles! Who really uses only a dime to quarter-sized amount of conditioner? Not the kid. “Large conditioner sizes that actually fulfill the unmet needs of our community. Unique formulas packed with luscious & safe ingredients. Accessible pricing, because everyone should have access to their most beautiful hair in their own shower. And gorgeous packaging that conjures the legacy of our history & makes us all feel like the royalty that we are.  #RockYourPattern, ” Tracee wrote on Instagram back in September.   View this post on Instagram PATTERN is for those of us who need more than a quarter size of product.

Lizzo’s British Vogue Cover Proves, Once Again, She’s 100 Percent That B***h

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lizzo continues her domination of the year 2019. Case in point: The “Good As Hell” rapper just scored her very first British Vogue cover! For the December issue of the UK’s Fashion Bible, the 31-year-old slayed in a black fitted Versace gown, an Adrienne Landau feather boa and a perfect beehive on top with tresses flowing down the sides hairstyle. Literally flawless! View this post on Instagram Making her regal debut as the star of the second of #BritishVogue’s two December covers is @LizzoBeeating. More than a musician, Lizzo is a movement. Her messages of power, positivity and self-love have earned her a cult following of millions around the world. In the December issue, the star spends time with @Miss_Zing discussing coming full circle as one of the world’s biggest solo rap artists, female empowerment and being crowned this generation’s queen of body-positive pop. Read the full interview in the new issue, on newsstands Friday 8 November. #Lizzo wears a @Versace dress, @AdrienneLandau feather boa, @Chopard earrings, @Wempe and @VerduraJewelry rings and @TiffanyAndCo bracelet. Photographed by @Kloss_Films, styled by @DenaGia and DoP @GaryBardizbanian, with hair by @YusefHairNYC, make-up by @ReneeGarnes and nails by @NailsByMarySoul. A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 8:56am PST   The “Cuz I Love You” singer opened up in the interview, speaking candidly about a range of topics including how anxiety fuels her as a performer. “When I get really, really anxious before a show, I just go harder and harder and harder when I’m performing and I just go crazy,” she says. “I don’t know why, but my anxiety sometimes fuels who I am as a performer and who I am as an artist – and I know that is not the case for everyone. I don’t know if my body just, like, out of a desperate need to find a place for my anxiety or find a use for it, takes it and puts it there,” the Houston-raised rapper admitted.   View this post on Instagram “I want you to know that if you can love me, you can love your goddamn self.” Born in Detroit to a religious family and raised in Texas, Melissa Jefferson, a.k.a. Lizzo’s special brand of influence act like an antidote and in today’s image-obsessed age. In her first cover interview for #BritishVogue, the star opens up to @Miss_Zing about all things fame and fortune, learning to nurture her own needs and navigating global fame. Read the full interview in the new issue, on newsstands Friday 8 November. #Lizzo photographed by @Kloss_Films, styled by @DenaGia and DoP @GaryBardizbanian, with hair by @YusefHairNYC, make-up by @ReneeGarnes, nails by @NailsByMarySoul. A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 9:16am PST   On the lack of plus-sized representation in pop culture growing up: “I would watch things on television and I would look at magazines and I would not see myself. When you don’t see yourself, you start to think something’s wrong with you. Then you want to look like those things and when you realize it’s a physical impossibility, you start to think, ‘What the f**k is wrong with me?’ I think that took a greater toll on me, psychologically, growing up than what anyone could have said to me.”   View this post on Instagram “I’m not trying to sell you me, I’m trying to sell you, you.” In today’s image-obsessed age, @LizzoBeeating is a megawatt beacon of self-assurance – so utterly herself that it is impossible for it not to rub off on you. Read the full interview with @Miss_Zing and see the full story in the December 2019 issue of #BritishVogue, on newsstands Friday 8 November. #Lizzo photographed by @Kloss_Films, styled by @DenaGia and DoP @GaryBardizbanian, with hair by @YusefHairNYC, make-up by @ReneeGarnesa and nails by @NailsByMarySoul. A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue) on Nov 7, 2019 at 10:02am PST   On people ( perhaps Azaelia Banks ) who believe Lizzo is using body positivity to gain popularity, Lizzo had this to say: “Anybody that uses body positivity to sell something is using it for their personal gain. That’s just it. We weren’t selling anything in the beginning. We were just selling ourselves and selling ourselves on the idea – selling ourselves on ourselves, you know? I’m not trying to sell you me. I’m trying to sell you, you.” LOVE IT! You better tell ’em! In an accompanying video, Lizzo keeps it 100 about her “first acts,” which she shared that she was hungover shooting her Vogue cover, that her first memories of music were gospel music and the first album she ever bought was Destiny Child’s “Survivor.” Take a look: Congrats Lizzo!

Tekashi 6ix9ine Could Be Entered Into The Witness Protection Program

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital It’s no secret that Tekashi 6ix9ine has become the most famous snitch in pop culture since Salvatore “Sammy The Bull” Gravano flipped on J ohn Gotti and the Gambino crime family back in the late 90’s. With countless memes having been made comedically highlighting his dime dropping ways, Tekashi’s name has become synonymous with snitching across the Hip-Hop world with little to no sympathy for the troll turned government informant. But what will become of the rainbow-haired rapper once he gets out of prison and presumably thrown into the witness protection program? Will he still have a career in rap? Would artists and producers be willing to work with him as he walks around with that bright as his hair scarlet “S” on his person? Could he even live a normal life in the age of social media? The New York Times recently published a piece exploring what could await Daniel Hernandez once he gets out of prison and possibly leaves his Tekashi 6ix9ine days behind him. Minya Oh, best known as Miss Info, the founder of the hip-hop news website MissInfo.tv and a former host on the rap radio station Hot 97 in New York, called the 6ix9ine saga a “Greek telenovela tragicomedy,” and predicted that he would face a complex conundrum upon being released: curiosity would be at an all-time high, but within the hip-hop community, so would animus. “In the attention economy, just knowing that 6ix9ine might open his mouth somewhere is like shipping platinum,” she said. “But nobody with any of their own value will ever stand next to him. So he has to exist in a vacuum and can’t leave his house. All doable things for an artist in 2019 and beyond.” Labels would be reticent to allow their artists to work with him, Ms. Oh added, “But they all think when he gets out of jail, he will be a big draw.” But at what cost to the reputation of the label or the artist they pair with Hip-Hop’s “Henry Hill” ? Should Tekashi try and find that there is no path for him to get back into the rap game on the monumental scale he was at the height of his pre-snitch career, he can always go about the life of an everyday civilian getting by on a 9 to 5. Such a path would not be unprecedented. The government has successfully relocated and protected high-profile witnesses in the past; mobsters have started over as bakery owners, and reformed assassins have found new careers as doll salesmen, two former federal law enforcement officials said. “Despite how connected we are, and the appetite for social media content in this country, there are places where, if this kid gets a haircut and wears normal clothes, no one would know or care who he is,” said Jay Kramer, a former F.B.I. official who worked on organized crime cases. He might have to come out of pocket to get rid of his very recognizable face tattoos though as it doesn’t seem like the US is going to be coming out of pocket for cosmetic purposes. There is almost nothing in Mr. Hernandez’s background that suggests a capacity for discretion, and it is unlikely the United States Marshals Service, which runs the witness protection program, would pay for the removal of Mr. Hernandez’s signature face tattoos. If Tekashi decides to keep his facial features intact he might as well be signing his own death warrant because that alone is that visible scarlet letter that the world has become familiar with.

Kylie Jenner Naked of the Day

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kylie Jenner is repulsive. These pics of her on some promo tour that started a few days ago and that clearly is intended to make her money is repulsive… Just so much Kylie and her fake young body…out there doing her marketing hustle that involves everything wrong with society, social media, pop culture….celebrating trash that is just born into the trash and perpetuates the trash with all the fucking trashy shit she does…that is all mapped out for her because the family empire knows the way to manipulate the media… I assume they have a staff of 100 or more people just working at their marketing agency all day and these are their key cast members to elevate that. Kylie’s cosmetics are making billions of dollars….or at least hundreds of millions…and the fact that this is the most important creature, cuz she’s barely human, seen as hot, relevant, interesting when she is none of those things…is a fucking problem…or a symptom of the fucking problem….so look at this shit with that in mind…or just look at the fake weird Jenner ass that she got from her father, or from her father’s plastic surgeon, or maybe from her father’s dick skin, you know graphed to her ass giving her that super athlete power it gave him in the 70s. Who knows. Here’s Kendall Jenner’s nipples.. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Kylie Jenner Naked of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Joe Giudice: Free from Prison! Set to Be Deported!

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

From Jersey Joe to Italian Inmate, the transformation is nearly complete for Joe Giudice. Much to the chagrin of his four daughters. And the apparent delight of his really terrible wife. On Thursday morning, Joe Giudice was released from Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania after serving his time behind bars for his role in a bankruptcy scheme several years ago. The development was confirmed by his attorney, James Leonard Jr., via the following statement: “Mr. Giudice has finished serving his federal prison sentence and was transferred early this morning from the Bureau of Prisons to a facility in western Pennsylvania which houses immigration detainees. “His lawyers and his family are hopeful that justice will prevail and Mr. Guidice will return home to his wife and four daughters who love him and miss him.” This seems very unlikely to happen, however. Joe is currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He’s set to be transferred to an immigration detention center, where he will await a ruling about his possible deportation to his native Italy. Back in October, a judge decreed that Joe had lost his right to remain in the United States because he committed a felony as a non-U.S. citizen. As difficult as it may to believe, Joe never bothered to become a citizen, despite having resided in America since his youth. His fate now rest in an appeal that has been filed by his legal team. “We are optimistic that once his appeal is heard, he will receive the appropriate relief and will be able to come home and remain there with his family,” the Giudice family lawyer said in a statement last week, concluding at this time: “They love him, they support him and they miss him tremendously.” This last part is true for Joe’s kids, at least. His daughters have made emotional pleas for their dad to remain in their native country… but Teresa hasn’t sounded quite as passionate. The couple has been married for 19 years, yet Teresa isn’t even considering the notion of moving to Italy with Joe. “I mean, unless my kids say, ‘Mommy, I want to move to Italy,'” she told Andy Cohen last week. She then elaborated, in rather cold fashion: “It’s like starting a whole new life. And they’ve been through so much already. So, I mean, I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. I’m just not doing it. I want somebody with me every day. “I know exactly what happens, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing? It’s not going to work. I’ll be like, ‘Bye bye.'” Bye bye . Those are the harsh words Teresa has on the subject of leaving her husband, which has earned her the ire of some social media users and co-stars. There’s been chatter that Teresa has met with a divorce attorney already, along with Bravo producers as she pitches them a spinoff about her oh-so-challenging life as a new single mother. But those negotiations may need to be put on hold while Joe’s future is decided. He could remain in ICE custody for up to a year while his appeal process plays out.  “Joe isn’t going to go down without a fight and is going to appeal the decision,” a source told Us Weekly in October ahead of Giudice’s appeal filing. “This isn’t over, not by a long shot.” Which is really too bad. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! We feel for his four girls and all. But the elder Giudices brazenly broke the law and haven’t seem to have learned many lessons at all. They remain rich, spoiled and very entitled. We’re just about ready for them to be canceled from pop culture relevancy forever.

Noah Cyrus Titty Shake of the Day

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I know that the Cyrus family is pure white trash, they just happen to have a lot of fucking money, but at least when Miley was getting her start off her Achy Breaky trust fund, to do her own thing, she was cute about it…. She brought cultural appropriation of pop culture to the masses in the right way, with a bit of her country hick spirit, and a lot of her nudity….and it was a good time for all. It helped push the culture, perpetuate the trend of naked being alright and the whole thing was a success on many levels…plus I got to see her Labia.. But her sister…Noah Cyrus…is just fucking ugly, has no real edge, or appeal…is just mooching off her name…and her slutting out on social media is hardly believable as being anything more than a cry for attention. She’s grabbing at her tits…it’s nothing special..if anything, it’s even gross…but it happened..or is happening so watch. Here’s Miley’s tits JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Rachel McAdams Breast Pump Porn for Fashion of the Day

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I guess this is the most interesting thing that has happened in pop culture today…some Rachel McAdams breast pump erotica…because she had a kid in November, probably when this was shot, and because she’s a woman standing up for the rights of all mothers everywhere, the right to breast feed in public….for fashion…because this is for a fashion magazine…that I guess is overhyping this moment….and making a big deal out of pretty much nothing…but it’s the internet and the era is about that…clothing companies and Lena Dunham and other fat chicks making moves because they pretend to care about the issues people like to pretend to care about even though I know you are all full of shit… I was never a fan of Rachel McAdams, she is Canadian, I haven’t met her at the Igloo party over some Beavertails after going out for a rip with my buds…I never saw the Notebook…so I’m just indifferent on the whole thing… I am not entirely a breast milk fetishists, I haven’t ever drank breast milk, not even as a baby cuz my mother, the mexican Prostitute who died of AIDS wasn’t into that nurturing shit..But I am into watching moms breast feed in public, I mean any excuse to bust a titty out…right. Doing it for fashion, as a political thing, is just dumb though…but the world is dumb so run with it… The post Rachel McAdams Breast Pump Porn for Fashion of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
