Paramore’s Hayley Williams Is Coming Out With A Beauty-Music Series

Paramore’s lead singer,  Hayley Williams, is putting a twist on makeup tutorials. Williams has teamed up with Popular TV to create a DIY series called Kiss Off, where beauty meets music. Williams and her makeup artist Brian O’ Connor will be recreating iconic looks from the comfort of her own home.

Williams recently chopped it up with MTV to discuss what separates her new series from the rest of the beauty channels on YouTube and why she believes it will invoke a positive change with today’s younger generation.

” I see so many beauty blogs and sites tweeting headlines about contouring your nose to make it look smaller or how to line your lips to make them bigger,” said Williams to MTV. “Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we do feel like we wanna fix something, but how much of that is because we keep getting signals that what we have isn’t good enough? Our show is a baby, and we are still learning as we go. I don’t think we have perfected the art of the how-to quite yet, but that’s not the point! We want people to look in unexpected places for inspiration and not be afraid to try things just for the hell of it. You’d be surprised at what makes you feel beautiful and how strong you feel when you break a few rules.”

Rihanna Debuts Snippets Of Her New Song “BBHMM” On Dubsmash

Yesterday (March 25), Rihanna teased fans on her Instagram by revealing subtle hits about her new single “BBHMM” also known as B***h Better Have My Money. First she previewed the cover art for the single which featured a black and white image of the Barbadian singer flaunting thick eyebrows, chandelier earrings, and a hot leather motorcycle jacket. To the side of the photo is the title of the song written in brail.

Rih Rih then channeled the 1988 Blaxploitation film, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, when she posted a scene with Fly Guy spitting the infamous line that goes hand-in-hand with her single title, “BBHMM.”

Rihanna took a different approach to releasing her music, by exclusively debuting it through the popular mobile app, Dubsmash. Dubsmash allows people to create short dubbed videos with popular/famous soundbites. Unfortunately, fans will still have to wait to hear the entire song, because the “Four Five Seconds” singer only released a snippet of the intro and outro to the app.

“BBHMM” will be featured on Rihanna’s forthcoming eighth studio album R8. In the mean time, check out the snippets below:

Tamar Braxton Breaks Down On ‘The Real’, Adrienne Bailon Responds

Yesterday (March 25), the ladies of the syndicated talk show The Real explored the controversial topic of bullying and the long term effects they can leave on a person. Talking about their personal experiences with “mean girls” evoked buried emotions within each host, thus causing a ripple effect of tears. Tamar Braxton couldn’t help but breakdown on television as she revealed how a certain “nickname” given to her by two r&b singers, really upset her.

Sometimes people construct these hard exteriors to protect themselves, but shielding yourself from being vulnerable will only make it harder open to those you care about. Braxton is known for being slick with the tongue and quick with the comebacks, but that doesn’t mean her feelings are non-existent. So when she began to get emotional, it shocked not only the audience, but some of her co-hosts as well.

On the show, Braxton recalled an incident back in 2012 when fellow singer K. Michelle called her a “muppet” and alluded she wanted to fight. Since then, Braxton haters have coined the phrase using it against her whenever they got a chance. The term resurfaced with Braxton’s most recent feud with singer Chris Brown. Last November,  after the hosts discussed the status of Brown’s relationship with former girlfriend, Karrueche Tran,  on the show, the “Ayo” singer took to Instagram to call out Braxton and Adrienne Bailon, Brown called Braxton a muppet amongst other derogatory terms.

“I was just asking my husband the other day,” said Braxton. “A particular person started saying I look like a muppet. People say it so much that sometimes, I start to believe it. And so, I even asked Vince, ‘Do I look like a muppet?’ and he said ‘Absolutely not.’ But this person has the whole world calling me that and it’s just so devastating because it takes me back to high school and there’s nothing I can do about it, but what I can do is what Jeannie does. Thank you Jeannie. I can act like the world is all peaches and cream and taste like strawberries, so I’m going to take that with me today. Thank you.”

Co-host Adrienne Bailon spoke out on her Instagram account to support Braxton and rule out the negativity she’s received since the episode aired.

Vogue Asks Iggy Azalea 73 Questions About Her Life

For Vogue‘s upcoming April 2015 “Shape Issue,” the iconic fashion magazine visited Iggy Azalea in her Los Angeles home to discuss her recent breast augmentation, as well as, take her shopping to explore what it’s like to style her new body shape.

Besides hitting up Barneys for some early spring shopping, Vogue and pop/rock band, The Scene, decided to kick the interview up a notch by asking the Australian rapper 73 back-to-back questions about her life, likes, and dislikes. The questions ranged from chicken or macaroni to what song she wish she wrote. The interview also opened up the 24-year-old’s vulnerable side as she divulged information about modeling agencies turning her away because of her size.

“When I first got to the States, people told me I should think about modeling,” said Azalea. “So I went to a few agencies, but once they measured my body they didn’t like me anymore.” Once they told her she should lose weight and get a nose job, Azalea’s confidence began to change. “I was looking in the mirror a little differently.”

Check out the full article here and the entire 73-question segment above.

Happy Birthday Big Sean!

Today marks Big Sean’s 27th birthday!

The Detroit rapper who brought you hits like “IDFWU,” “Blessings,” “Clique,” and “Mula” has had an amazing career thus far. Producing chart-topping music and albums, collaborating with Adidas, and becoming romantically involved with pop princess Ariana Grande, are just some of the great things that have spurred from his career.

In celebration of another year of life, check out the interview Big Sean, real name Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, with The Coveteur. The website explores the behind-the-scenes aspect of fashion, lifestyle, and culture with today’s hottest artists, stylists, and celebrities alike. The Coveteur dives deep inside his closet, unearthing his fashion secrets and little quirks you wouldn’t believe he has, like using mint face wash and loving to meditate.

“I feel like my style changes as I go,” said Big Sean. “I find myself coming back to things, but exploring them in a different way. I pick up a jacket from, like, four years ago and just wear it with something completely different. I have key pieces that I make sure stick around but other than that, yeah, it definitely changes.”

Check out the full interview here and some photos from the feature below.

Jamie Foxx Denies Katie Holmes Dating Rumors

Paparazzi caught up with Annie actor, Jamie Foxx, to discuss dating rumors surrounding him and Katie Holmes. Amused by the constant allegations, Foxx laughed and immediately shut the rumors down, stating the two are “just friends.”

Foxx was leaving the bank in Westlake Village near Los Angeles when paparazzi spotted him. The actor/singer was in good spirit about the whole thing, explaining him and Holmes are working on a project together and their relationship is strictly platonic.

“Oh come on you guys have been trying to make that stick for three years, we’re just friends,” said Foxx about the accusations. “As a matter of fact Anthony Zuiker, creator of CSI, he offered us an animation project and we’re working on that.”

Foxx revealed the media has been alluding the two were romantically involved for three years now. Guess the false stories come with the territory of being a celebrity.
