Overalls, they’re back and in full effect, his we know.  But did you know that the overalls that are making a comeback, aren’t just the jean overalls from the 90s.

Oh no, the 2013 little numbers have a new spin!  Some are even fancy enough to wear out  to an important event!

Ashley Madekwe shows us just that!  The Revenge star attended a Topshop/Topman event in a pair of patterned overalls from the brand.

She made the look elegant with simple jewelry, strappy sandals and a black clutch.  These accessories allowed her overalls to be the center of attention; and the simple gold necklace and bangle added a delicate feel to the ensemble!

The look is oh so cool and effortless and yaaaasssss… we LOVE it!

2 May

Five years later, and Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are still going strong!  The twosome just celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary!

Sticking to the tradition of renewing their vows every year, Nick and Mariah did it up like only they could.  The couple had a fairy tale wedding at Disney Land after hours!

Mariah was dressed as her own version of Cinderella and Nick of course was the  Prince.  However, the festivities weren’t just about the happy couple, it was also about, in the words of Mariah, “Dem Babies.” 

You see, the couple’s twins, Morocco and Monroe, also known as “Roc and Roce” were born on Nick and Mariah’s wedding anniversary two years ago, so they made sure their special night was also very kid friendly in order to celebrate their love and the twins second birthday.

Mariah tweeted, a picture of the couple and their adorable twins who were dressed in matching prince and princess costumes with the caption…

“Celebrating our anniversary @ #dembabies birthday (can you believe they’re 2??),” Carey tweeted.

The self-proclaimed “eternally 12-year-old” couple held the posh ceremony in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.  Mariah arrived to the castle with Roe courtesy a horse-drawn Crystal Carriage ride down Main Street.

Entertainment Tonight was the only entertainment news agency invited inside the festivities, and they reported that he Royal Footman from Cinderella, Major Domo, served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

Afterwards the 250 guests toasted Mariah and Nick at the reception at Fantasyland.  However, the night wasn’t all fairy dust and make-believe.

There was also some raw “get your groove on” fun as Nick got on the ones and twos and turned into a DJ for his own party.  But still remembering the kids, the party featured a who’s who of Disney characters such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and even better guests were able to roam the park freely all the rides without a crowd.

Sounds like a hell of a lot of fun to us!  And they said it wouldn’t last.

Well, keep proving everyone wrong Nick and Mariah you guys are obviously in love and so darn cute together!  And happy birthday beautiful Roc and Roe, based on this latest fairy tale story you guys are truly loved!

The End!

Kriss Kross rapper, Chris Kelly dead at 34

It’s a sad day in hip hop because one half of the popular rap group Kris Kross has died.  According to FOX 5 in Atlanta, 34-year-old Chris Kelly was found unconscious in his home in Atlanta.

He was taken to the Atlanta Medical Center where he was pronounced dead around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday evening.  Kelly, best known as the “Migity Migit Migity Migity Mac Daddy,” sky-rocketed to success and super stardom when he was just a teen in the 90s.

He was in the group, Kriss Kross with Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith.  The group turned out mega hits, like I Missed the Bus and Jump.

But it was the backwards wearing clothes trend started by the two that got them noticed the most.  We don’t know about you, but we definitely tried to wear our fair share of clothes backwards.

Speaking of backwards, in a throw back move the “Mack Daddy” (Kelly) and the “Daddy Mac” (Smith) recently reunited as a group for a performance back in February.  The twosome performed for a 20th anniversary concert for So So Def Records.

There was even talk through the rumor mill that the two were hoping to produce a new album, and we all know we would’ve been on board for that!

Let’s be honest, if that is true, deep down we all were hoping that the album would be just like their music in the 9os.  You know, that “bubble gum” kind of rap we all loved and listened to as kids.

It would’ve felt good to go back in time to that feeling just for that moment.  That feeling of innocence and not a care in the world other than, getting a note from the boy you liked, getting a new outfit for the school dance, and getting a fresh new pair of Air Jordans.

It was a time when our favorite rap songs didn’t have curse words in it, but instead they consisted of words like “Jump Jump!”  Kriss Kross’ music helped us to be hip as kids without growing up too fast.  So, rest in peace Chris Kelly and thanks for the memories.

At this time, the cause of Kelly’s death hasn’t been released.

Rap genius, Lil Wayne has another seizure that sends him to the hospital.  The Grammy Award winning rapper was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles late Tuesday-night after suffering a single siezure.

However, the 30-year-old’s stay in the hospital wasn’t a long one like his past visits.  TMZ reports that Wayne was treated and released early Thursday morning.

Wayne, who’s real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. has had quite the battle with these seizures.  This is his third hospital visit in just a couple of months.

Back in March, he was hospitalized for nearly a week for a similar issue.  It was after that incident that Lil Wayne admitted that he was indeed epileptic.

Even with the recent health scares, Wayne is still working hard to promote his new album, I Am Not A Human II.

Pres. Obama, Kobe Bryant & the former fiance’e of Jason Collins support his decision to come out of the closet

It was the shock heard around the sports world when NBA basketball player Jason Collins decided to come out of the closet as a gay man.  Now, the support for this brave athlete’s decision just keeps pouring in; proving more and more that we are becoming kinder and more accepting as a nation.

The Washington Wizard’s center came out as the first openly gay basketball player in an article and on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  And so, far the news of Collins sexual orientation has garnered him support from  Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi to the President himself!

In his press conference Tuesday about Healthcare, President Obama was asked at one point what he thought about Jason Collin’s decision to come out of the closet and the admit that he was gay and the Pres said he couldn’t be prouder of him.

Jason’s even getting love in the Twitter-sphere.  Before the big announcement, Jason only had about 4,000 followers, but since making the bold move, his followers number increased to 86,000 plus!

Speaking of Twitter, a lot of his peers are taking to the social media site to show their support.  Kobe Bryant tweeted,kobe bryant's tweet

While his teammate, Bradley Beal of the the Washington Wizards wrote…

bradley beal's tweet

In a surprising measure, Jason’s ex-fiance’e is even getting behind him, and this is shocking to a lot of people.  You see, Carolyn Moos (who played a few seasons in the WNBA) dated Collins for seven years and was engaged to him until they broke up in 2009 when Collins pulled the plug on their wedding.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Carolyn said she never once suspected he was gay, so the news is shocking.  But she said before coming out, Collins confessed everything to her last weekend admitting that his homosexuality was the real reason he ended things with her.

She went on to say,”I care about [Jason] tremendously and only want the best for him. I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out.”

So, it seems like there’s no hard feelings.  Good for you Carolyn!

Now, to steal a line from Neil Armstrong, all of the support Jason Collins is getting right now is “one small step for man, one giant leap for humanity!”

Years after a bitter divorce and with more money added to his already mega fortune, NBA great, Michael Jordan has decided to take the big leap of love and walk down the aisle again!  MJ, as he’s lovingly called by fans, got married over the weekend to Yvette Prieto in front of 300 of their family and closest friends.

Jordan, known for his crazy perfect career with the Chicago Bulls, his famous sneakers, Air Jordans and as the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats exchanged vows with the 35-year-old former model on Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla.

And in case you were wondering, Michael Jordan is 50, so that makes him 15 years older than Yvette, but as Aaliyah said, age aint nothing but a number honey, because before marrying, these two have been together ever since their eyes locked in a night club five years ago.

The wedding took place at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea.  Guests in attendance included Tiger Woods, Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee and Ahmad Rashad to name a few.  The ceremony was followed by a reception of 2,000 at the Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Fla.  MJ, owns a home near the course.

Now, let’s get down to the fashion orgasm and discuss Yvette’s dress!  Michael’s new bride wore a French silk voile corseted sheer sheath gown by J’Aton Couture.  The dress had an ecru palette with accents of flesh tones and handmade silk lace created especially for her.

The dress was also enhanced with Swarovski crystals. The gown featured French seamed crinoline borders, which cascaded into a dramatic cathedral train finished in the lace, with accents of a peacock-feathered design.

To sum it up, it was stunning!  As for the entertainment, well, 2,000 of their family and close friends danced to music spun by, late 80s/early 90s popular rapper turned DJ, MC Lyte.  And when Lyte wasn’t spinning, singers like K’Jon, Robin Thicke and Grammy-Award winner Usher and The Source entertained wedding goers along side an 18-piece band.

Much like the entertainment, the desert wasn’t short stepping either!  The guests were served an all-white, seven-layer white rum wedding cake that was covered in white fondant and sugar crystals, and adorned with crystal brooches and the couples’ monogram on the top layer.

The couple ended the night with a bang when fireworks topped off the celebration!  Sounds fabulous!

Congratulations Mike and Yvette, and if you guys decide to do a vow renewal, keep us in mind because we’ll be waiting for our invitation!

Justin Bieber’s tour bus raided in Sweden!

25 Apr

Justin BieberIt sems like one Pop music sensation’s bad boy image is slowly inching up to the next level.  There was just a raid on Justin Bieber‘s tour bus!

SAY WHAT NOW?!

That’s what we said, so Let’s Dish!

A rep for the Stockholm Police in Stockholm, Sweden told TMZ, an officer was patrolling in the area of the Grand Hotel around 7:10 p.m. Wednesday night when he smelled a little ganja.  After sniffing around a little more, the officer noticed that that weed smell  was coming from Bieber’s bus that was parked in front of the Grand Hotel.

However, the big bust didn’t go down outside of the swanky hotel.  It all unfolded once the bus got back on the road and headed toward the Globe Arena where Justin was performing.

Once parked, the officer sneakily contacted a special narcotics unit, who swooped in and issued a warrant to search Bieber’s bus.  Local papers in Stockholm said police allegedly found a small amount of weed along with a taser.

At this time, a suspect hasn’t been named and the bus hasn’t been impounded, but Justin Bieber, is speaking out about this ordeal.  Taking to Twitter, you know the social media website that seems like every star’s sounding board for speaking out against allegations, Justin tweeted,

“Some of the rumors about me … where do people even get this stuff?  Whatever … back to the music.”

Well, that’s that.  Oh sweet little Justin, we’re not saying you had the weed on your bus, but as a fan, please head our advice and stay out of trouble so you can continue to make, and we’re going out on the limb and will probably lose street cred by saying this, but please stay out of trouble so you can continue to make good Pop music that we can sing loudly in our cars to.

Clint Eastwood’s wife checks into rehab

25 Apr
Dina and Clint Eastwood

Dina and Clint Eastwood

One of cinema’s biggest bad asses’ is more focused on his wife than telling someone to “make his day” because Clint Eastwood’s wife Dina just checked herself into rehab.  Dina, who stars in her own E! reality show, Mrs. Eastwood and Company with Clint’s daughter Francesca reportedly entered an exclusive facility in Arizona for help with depression and anxiety, according to TMZ.

However, Dina’s NOT being treated for substance abuse.  Dina, 47, is a former news anchor who has been married to Clint for 17 years now.

She and Clint, 82, who’s 35 years older than her have a 16-year-old daughter by the name of Morgan together.  Their daughter Morgan, along with Francesca, Clint’s daughter from a previous marriage are constant fixtures on the show.

Now, Morgan and Francesca aren’t the only kids of Mr. Eastwood’s.  In fact, the man who’s a great director, but likes to talk to chairs has seven children with five different women!

And the word on the gossip street is that Clint use to be a bit of a womanizer, that is until he settled down with Dina, but could Dina’s depression and anxiety be due to a shake up in the Eastwood household?

The Daily Mail seems to think so, so Let’s Dish!

Well, according to the online gossip site, Clint and Dina are rumored to be in an ongoing feud!  The Daily Mail reports that the couple have not been photographed in public together since 2011, and were reportedly seen in a heated argument at his daughter Alison’s wedding back in March!

Oh no!  Say it aint so!

Now, the Eastwood camp hasn’t commented on this, so all we can say is we hope not because from what we’ve seen on the show, these two are so cute together and there seems to be a good family dynamic there.

So, get well Dina, and we wish you nothing but the best.

Reunited and it feels so good?  Brace yourself “Beliebers” because it looks like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez may be back on!

On Thursday, Selena, 20, jetted off to Oslo for a rendezvous with the Biebs, 19, who was performing there on his world tour.

“They were holding hands, hugging and they kissed on the lips,” an eyewitness told People. “They looked really in love, like no fights ever happened before. It definitely looked like they were back together.”

And if this wasn’t enough to assume the on again off again couple who began dating in late 2010 was back together, the picture Justin tweeted the Instagramed pict of him and Selena cozying up on Friday, April 20th.

Since sending the cute pict of the two out into the atmosphere, Justin has taken it down, so it sounds like the two are no where near ready to let the cat out of the bag.  Whatever it is, we hope it leads to a reconciliation because the two are just so darn cute together!

Say it aint so! Reese Witherspoon and husband get arrested!

21 Apr

Well, that’s it!  It’s official!  Everyone look outside because we’re pretty sure pigs are flying right about now.  They have to be because one of America’s sweethearts just got busted!

Ms. Legally Blonde herself, Reese Witherspoon was cuffed in Atlanta, GA Friday night for disorderly conduct of all things!  Who would’ve thunk it?!  Not us!

So what happened to land Reese behind bars?!  We’ve got all of the details along with the surprising comment Reese made during the ordeal, so let’s Dish!

Word on the gossip street is that Reese got into a war of words with the officer who was arresting her husband Jim Toth.  Why was her husband being arrested you ask?!  For a DUI, that’s why!

According to sources of TMZ, Reese started talking smack to the officer who was arresting her husband because she was annoyed at how long the arrest was taking, so she proceeded to get out of the car.   The Atlanta cop told her not to get out of the car, but our little Reese didn’t listen and she did.

Big mistake Reese because that action right there caused you to sign your own arrest warrant.  And get this… according to Variety… as the officer was arresting Reese, who’s sporting a new darker hair do for a role, in The Good Lie, which ironically enough, she’s shooting in Atlanta; Reese allegedly shouted, “Do you know my name?” When the officer said he did not, Witherspoon responded, “You’re about to find out who I am.”

Reeeaaalllyyy?!?!?  Oh no Reese, please tell us you didn’t pull the “don’t you know who I am” card?!

Obviously, that didn’t faze the officer because both Witherspoon and her husband were booked into jail.

But not for long, the couple was released on bond early Saturday morning.  It was just enough time for Reese to make her way to NYC to hit the Mud red carpet premiere along side co-star Matthew McConaughey.  Our girl Reese dressed in all black as she greeted the photographers and posed for pictures on the red carpet, but the southern belle didn’t answer any questions.

The indie film, Mud is due in theaters April 26th.  In the meantime, Reese and Jim will be back in an Atlanta courtroom to face the judge at 8am Monday morning.
