Now You Can Study Lady Gaga

Eva Mendes

Lady Gaga has schooled the world about the “Love Game” and “Bad Romance” but now a US college is offering students the opportunity learn even more about the singer.

Students at The University of South Carolina are now being offered a course called Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame which they can take as part of their degree requirements.

The professor Mathieu DeFlem said he wants his students to understand what being famous means in today’s modern culture

And who better to do it than Lady Gaga, who rose from obscurity two years ago to dominate not just the music but the fashion industry and pop culture.

When DeFlem sold the University on this idea, he must have had one epic “Poker Face.”

Celebs who need fashion styling help

Eva Mendes

We heart these celebrities for their talent, but not their
style. From their red carpet looks to street sightings, we contend this gang of
stars can do so much better! Here is our list of celebs that should get
wardrobe stylist, crack the whip on their stylists, or fire them altogether.

Tyra Banks was an in demand fashion model who turned into
fashion victim. Her style is frightening with over the top red carpet gowns,
ill-fitting attire, and tacky taste. She needs serious help to get back to the
“top model” she once was…

Britney oh Britney…She is a star on stage or in Candie ads,
but her street style is atrocious. Her country bumpkin chic attire and bad hair
extensions make Miss Spears in need of a stylist assistance to get her out of
the house!

We love her as Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, but Taylor
Momsen’s Marilyn Manson inspired look has a lot to be desired. Taylor recently
fired her wardrobe stylist and is now dressing in age inappropriate fashions
consisting of leather, lace, and dark eye makeup. We wish her parents would
intervene and hire someone to tame her image.

Jessica Simpson has a knack for dressing others with her
successful fashion line, but has no idea how to dress herself. Jess chooses
unflattering frocks that make her look full-figured. We can’t forget her mom
jeans or this boxy sparkly dress from fashion week. She needs stay away from
loud tacky prints and focus on tailored cuts that accent her waist.

Attention gentleman: Gym attire is not suitable for the red
carpet! Both Eminem and Adam Sandler can’t seem to get away from hoodies,
jerseys, and baggy pants. C’mon guys leave the collegiate gear for the
youngins’.

Hope the stars take note and shape up their style!





Taylor Swift Strums Around The Truth

Eva Mendes

Taylor Swift appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show to discuss the rumors regarding the country singer and her recent fling with Jake Gyllenhaal. 

Although Ellen has been able to get the Swift truth before, it’s reported that the country star is happy without confirming any of the details, however she certainly isn’t denying anything either. 

When Ellen asked if there is anything serious going on between the 20-year-old song writer and 29-year-old actor, no confirmation was given, Swift just said “you have a picture of us on screen, don’t you?” 

Whether they’re just hanging out, or something more serious is budding, we might have to wait to hear it in one of her songs. 



Christina Aguilera New Perfume Makes Perfect Scents

Christina Aguilera channels her inner Marilyn Monroe in an advert for her perfume.

The newly single pop star showed off a curly blonde hairstyle and full red lips to promote her fragrance Royal Desire.

Aguilera, 29, follows in the footsteps of a string of stars who have paid homage to the late screen goddess.

Michelle Williams hopes to capture some Monroe magic through her performance as the Some Like It Hot star in forthcoming movie My Week With Marilyn.

Scarlett Johansson stuck a Marilyn-esque pose in a 2009 advert for Dolce & Gabbana.

And troubled actress Lindsay Lohan emulated the sexy blonde in a 2008 photoshoot for New York magazine.




Portia de Rossi Was Eating 300 Calories A Day

Eva Mendes

Actress Portia de Rossi is now living with a prosperous career, healthy life and is happily married to Ellen DeGeneres. But things weren’t always so structured, de Rossi suffered from eating disorders and limited herself to around 300 calories per day. 

She opens up about it in her new book, Unbearable Lightness

The extreme diet left the actress weighing 82 pounds at her lightest, and facing health issues associated with being so thin. De Rossi mentions she’s not proud of it, but says it’s a testament to her willpower that she was able to follow such a strict diet plan. 

She also added that it would be all she thought about, and it was all she was holding on to.

Eva Mendes

Lily Allen has been forced to pull out of Elton John’s AIDS charity ball due to illness.

The pregnant singer was expected to perform at Elton’s annual fundraising event but has had to cancel after coming down with an infection.

The twenty-five-year-old singer is expecting her first baby early next year and is following doctor’s orders to stay home and get some rest until the infection clears.

She regrets not being able to make the AIDS benefit but donors and attendees will be in good hands as the Rocket Man himself will take the stage instead and perform in her place.

There has been speculation as to what character the performer will portray with her cameo, however producers of the show have hinted that it might be somewhere in the cafeteria. Subo is rumored to be playing the part of McKinley High School’s singing lunch lady.

Will Ferrell And Tina Fey Join The Today Show’s Annual Halloween Celebration

Eva Mendes

Will Ferrell and Tina Fey appeared in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza dressed as their animated characters in the upcoming 3D family film Megamind at the Today Show’s Annual Hallowen Celebration.

The comedians weren’t alone. The cast of the news program didn’t hold back either, notably Al Roker saving the day as Superman, Meredith Vieira growling at her Little Monsters as Lady Gaga, and Natalie Morales performing as Justin Bieber.

We wonder what neighborhood they’ll be trick or treating in.
