Naomi Campbell’s Sci Fi Home By Zaha Hadid

Naomi Campbell seems to have an exquisite taste in architecture. Remember we already talked about a certain house of hers shaped like an Egyptian eye? Well, it’s not sci – fi time as her longtime boyfriend, Russian Billionaire Vladislav Doronin had built a very special home for Naomi in Russia, reportedly designed by Zaha Hadid (Gizmodo has a video of the construction process here). A lot of space for a mobile phones throwing arena, huh?

With Gossip Girl wrapping up, it would appear that Leighton Meester felt it was time for a change. And a radical one! The lovely young actress chopped off her long locks (or simply ditched her extensions, we never know who’s got real hair in Hollywood and who’s going on borrowed hair) and she even showed up at two different events with different hairstyles. Same haircut.

I completely feel her new cut and I think it suits her way better than her old style. Below an image from the wrap – up party of Gossip Girl and another from the very recent ‘Flaunt’ dinner event. The young actress also revealed to JustJared that Lizzie Reilly (Gossip Girl’s hairstylist) is the one who’s responsible for the new short cut.

How do you like Leighton Meester’s new short hair? Do you prefer she’d style it naturally wavy or straightened? (hint – personally, I like it more natural) {image Justin Campbell; justjared}

With the latest glam wedding going on, it would appear the world has forgotten about Kimye… Unless… we take a look at the new headlines claiming that Karl Lagerfeld met with Kanye West on Wednesday.

NYPost reported they were seen talking over lunch at the Mercer Hotel and that they even compared gadget notes and exchanged design ideas…

Could Kanye be shopping for his bride’s dress or maybe just another sneaker’round the corner? {image FilmMagic; nypost}

Like in strangler – odd. I know, I may be making too much out of this pose, but really, Revlon? Wasn’t there any other position to showcase your new yellow nail polish? I like Emma Stone, I also appreciate Revlon (not so much the yellow nail lacquer), but this is wrong in so many ways!

I know, it’s practically just a low – profile ad campaign and probably won’t go further than the supermarket beauty counter, but it’s disturbing nevertheless and shouldn’t see the light of day. Or store shelf. Also: the excessive use of Photoshop is discouraging, Emma having lost almost any resemblance to her real life persona. Marketing is aiming so low sometimes! (image found here)

Although her current line of work is radically different, Lady Gaga may just entered history through the biology door. 19 species of fern were named after her! Kathleen Pryer, Duke University biology professor and study leader reportedly compared Lady Gaga to the various plants and decided they’re definitely alike. Hence names ferns: Gaga Germanotta, Gaga monstraparva and so forth. {psfk}

You know, I like to wear my beloved velour tracksuit pants every now and then. They feel so comfy and so cozy and so… feminine? What? As opposed to ordinary gray cotton college tracksuits? Yeah, I’d say velour tracksuits are pretty girly! But I enjoy that in the comfort of my anonymity and in the intimacy of our home or in the imminent rush of a school run.

I’m not Jennifer Lopez. But Jennifer wasn’t not supposed to be JLo anymore either. Wearing a pink tracksuit (with golden ‘Angel’ written on the side of her pants) and matchy Hermes Birkin is a Jersey shore move, girl! Paging Marc Anthony! It’s a fashion emergency! (what’s Casper doing to you, Jennifer? Oh, and did you notice her daughter emerging with that Vuitton bag? Clearly, money doesn’t buy style.)

As you well know, besides having a huge passion for movies, I really appreciate backstage details. All that’s going on before a movie is delivered on the big screen seems fascinating to my curious little mind. As such, here’s a little video of how 4K digital movie images can be retouched into a surprisingly flawless final result. Reality is so yesterday!

It’s been a while since we last talked about the magnificence that is Galadriel. Ahem Cate Blanchett! But I’ll make up for that with a little Empire talk! For the December issue, Empire magazine has cooked an amazing collection of covers celebrating the launch of The Hobbit!

This December, my dahlings, the first movie from The Hobbit trilogy is being released into theathers. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey gathered round your favorite hobbits, elves and wizards for a round of seriously amazing Middle – Earth adventures. Galadriel (Cate Blanchett)’s cover is by far my favorite Empire cover this month. However, the other five covers (four more for the newsstand and one for the subscribers issue) aren’t bad either (Bilbo – Martin Freeman, Gandalf – Ian McKellen, Gollum – Andy Serkis, Thorin Oakenshield – Richard Armitage). Especially since they come in 3D depth!
