Kim Kardashian REJECTED by fashion designers!

Kim Kardashian is one of the most recognized women in the world; she has several reality shows, knocked herself up by Kanye West, and has a money tree planted in her back yard. You would think that whatever Kimmy wants, Kimmy gets. Well, think again.

The reality TV starlet trusted stylist Nicola Formichetti to transform her style for an Elle Magazine shoot. Formichetti, who has styled other A-list celebs such as Lady Gaga, admits that dressing Kim was a challenge. “People wouldn’t lend me the clothes. But that’s fashion snobbery,” he explained in the issue.

Fashion snobbery aside, Tom Ford, Oscar De La Renta, and Roberto Cavalli all lent their clothes, and Kim looked gorgeous from head-to-toe (but we’re not so sure about the drag queen makeup).

With a baby on the way, this could be one of Kim’s last shoots before she starts some serious baby bumpin’.

Kim said it was a dream working with Formichetti, and it was “so inspiring and interesting to see someone else’s take on me” in the Elle behind-the-scenes interview with the stylist. Watch the video here!

Oh Kim.

The beautiful Mila Kunis covers the March issue of Elle Magazine!

Mila Kunis lands the March cover of Elle Magazine, and the actress looks beautiful in the accompanying photo shoot! The actress has a new movie coming out in March, ‘OZ: The Great and Powerful’, and I’m really hoping the movie doesn’t suck. It looks really interesting, but previews can be deceiving (case in point: “Identity Thief” – but I’ll talk about that a bit later).

New! Urban Decay OZ the Great and Powerful Palettes

Here are some highlights from the interview:

Being single after dating Macaulay Culkin: “For four years I was single. An amazing time. An amazing time. I love being single.”

When she was shown a photo of Ashton Kutcher: “I didn’t think this was going to be about my friends. Happily about myself! Not about who my friends are, who I’m dating, or who I may have ever dated. That’s not talking about myself!”

On privacy and the paparazzi: “You can look (online) and see what Starbucks I go to. You can look and see what gym I go to. You can go online and look at my daily activities. And they have no concept of what kind of danger that puts people in. … You’re constantly worried that something’s going to get out that’s going to put your life in danger or your loved ones.”

On weight loss for Black Swan: “Unfortunately, the only way I could play a ballerina was to look like a ballerina . . . fit and bony.”

On on-screen nudity: “I showed side boob. I don’t need to show a–. You get one or the other. You don’t get both,” she said as she smirked.

I wonder if she was asked about dating Macaulay Culkin – and she didn’t answer – or if they just asked her what it was like AFTER dating him. I find it hard to believe they didn’t go for some quote on his rumored serious drug problems, and that being the cause of their breakup. I wish she would have said something about dating Ashton. Enough already! Spill the beans!

Taylor Swift lands the March cover of Elle Magazine: “I never chase boys. They don’t like it!”

This month, the stunning Taylor Swift covers the March issue of ELLE, on newsstands 2/19. The We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together songstress dishes about her middle school insecurities, her ex-boyfriends, and her songwriting process.

On her insecurity:

“Middle school was what programmed me be to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time.  I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in.  That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.”

On ex-boyfriends:

“I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend.  Ever.  I’m not a yeller.  I’m not a fit thrower.  If something is done, it’s done.”

On the speculation surrounding her songs and famous exes:

“To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have.  It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right, but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started.  It’s just something I do to feel better.”

On dealing with rumors:

“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me.  They’re like ‘Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.  I never chase boys.  They don’t like it!’”

Victoria Beckham lands the March cover of Elle UK!

Victoria Beckham is the cover girl for Elle UK’s March issue. For the issue, Victoria modeled all Burberry, which kind of surprised me. I wonder why she didn’t wear her own line? Anyhoo, there isn’t much that’s been released from the issue, just a couple quotes.

On her employees:  “You’ve got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that’s difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can’t hand over. But I’m trying to do that more. It’s hard because I have such a specific vision.”

No one pays attention to her: “When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me. And when I go out with David and people take pictures I think, ‘They’re here to take David’s picture.’”

She has good worth ethic: “I don’t have to work, I need to work. But I have a good work ethic. David has an incredible work ethic. I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.”

Her clothing line has taken off like crazy, and she’s going really well for herself. I never thought I’d like her clothes, either, but as the years go by, I’m finding myself recognizing her pieces on celebs – and LOVING them. She has great taste, and I think it’s really cool she’s made a name for herself other than being a Spice Girl.

Is it just me, or does she look like she’s sucking her thumb in this picture below.

Naomi Campbell opens up to Elle Magazine about her new show, ‘The Face’

Naomi Campbell strikes a fierce pose in a new interview with ELLE February, on stands 1/15. She dishes about her new show The Face on Oxygen, that cell phone incident, and her relationship with Tyra Banks.

On mentoring girls on Oxygen’s The Face:
“When I first got Yves Saint Laurent couture, I didn’t know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma – the real divas of the runway – ‘Can you show me?’ I’ve never been afraid to ask for help… I care for my girls [on the show]. Every single one of them. I’m not here to put anyone down.”

On the infamous cell-phone-throwing incident:
“I’m never gonna get away from it. It’s part of my history. I was remorseful and regretful. I’ve served. I did that time. And I never want to be in that position again.”

On if she watches Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model:
“I don’t watch the other reality model shows. I’ll never have anything to say. If you ask me about Tyra Banks, I’m proud of her as a woman of color. She’s given girls opportunity, and God bless her.”

Who’s going to be watching Naomi’s new show??



Claire Danes covers Elle Magazine’s February issue!

An 8-months-pregnant Claire Danes glows on the cover of ELLE February, on newsstands nationwide January 15th. In the issue, she opens up about being a working mother, her relationship with husband Hugh Dancy, and even meeting President Obama.

On waiting to have children:

“I’ve always wanted to have kids, but I’m glad I didn’t until now. When I was thinking about [working and being a mother] originally, I was really nervous about it…I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn’t suit me. I feel so fortunate, in that I’ve had this arrow-straight focus…that I wanted to act.”

On her relationship with husband Hugh Dancy:

“Hugh was just the right partner for me. I got very, very lucky. There’s only so much credit you can take when it just sort of works, you know? And obviously we work hard at maintaining our relationship – that is central to both our lives – but at the same time, it’s just this kind of ease that I can’t really account for.”

On meeting President Obama (a fan of Homeland) with her husband Hugh at the White House Correspondent’s dinner:

“Hugh was like, ‘We have to meet Obama,’ and we walked over before we could think and found ourselves shaking hands with him.  Hugh realized that he’d forgotten to actually properly introduce himself, and [President Obama] was like, ‘And you are?’ And Hugh was like, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. President.’  I said, ‘I’m Claire Danes,’ and he said, ‘Oh, you’re a fine actress.’ And I said, ‘You’re a fine president!’  And he said, ‘Oh, you’re a finer actress than I am president.’ I didn’t have any retort.  Hugh and I went immediately to the bar and had a big shot of vodka.”

On teenagers growing up in Hollywood today:

“When I was younger, I was a little bit more restless, but there weren’t as many eyes. There weren’t as many tabloids or the number of cameras that everyone’s armed with. I feel huge sympathy for teenagers who have suddenly found themselves as public figures now, because it just sucks for them.”

Since the interview, 33-year-old Claire gave birth to her first child, son Cyrus Michael Christopher.
