We See Chick Flicks: Cadillac Records

Starring Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright, Gabrielle Union, Columbus Short, Cedric the Entertainer, Mos Def, Beyonce Knowles

I took myself on a date yesterday to see “Cadillac Records” because I’m a history buff and love a biopic. Plus, I get fashion inspiration by seeing how people dressed in the past. I read very few reviews of the film before watching it because I wanted the movie to speak for itself. I was rather entertained, but, since I’m not a real blues fan or scholar, I didn’t notice the historical inaccuracies. Keep reading »

    Tyra Banks’ Wedding Gift For Beyonce

    Today on “The Tyra Show”, Ty-Ty had on Beyonce/Sasha Fierce and conducted one of the most annoying interviews of all time, filled with puns and inane questions. But Beyonce did perform both “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” — which Tyra tried to ruin by dancing along — and was such a good sport when Miss Crazy Lady gave her a belated wedding present. Clip above! Keep reading »

    The Not-So-Secret ‘Stache

    Women in the Western World have waged war against face fuzz because, let’s face it, facial hair on women is not sexy nor flattering, unless it’s a well-groomed brow. That’s why the best job the Bearded Lady could get was at a carnival. But there are some women (and men) who have embraced the female mustache. Whether you like the look or not, you have to admit that these women have a sort of attraction because they buck the beauty norm. Continue reading for women whose mustaches have gotten them noticed.

    Quick Pic: Sasha Fierce Got Some New Accessories

    Speaking of injury-related accessories, did Beyonce/Sasha Fierce go and hurt her eyes like Rihanna AND sustain a concussion? [On the set of her video shoot for "Diva", Los Angeles, 11/23/08] Keep reading »

    Injury Accessories: Celebrity Trend?

    Something strange is going on in the world of fashion, and we’re hoping it stays within the realm of daring performers so we don’t have to participate. Both Beyonce and Rihanna have recently worn accessories that a person who has lost a body part might wear. First, there was Beyonce and her bionic gling, a hand-encompassing ring that bears some resemblance to a high-end prosthetic hand. Then, at last night’s American Music Awards, Rihanna performed “Rehab” with a shiny eyepatch covering her right peeper. We know she didn’t cut her lens, because the thing was gone by the time she started in on the second verse. Why are these two singers sporting these “bodily harm” accessories, and is Lady Gaga wearing a leg brace covered in rhinestones next? Only their stylists know. And speaking of stylists, Bey and Ri either share a stylist or both saw this fashion story in Vogue Italia, which featured a gling AND a silver eyepatch. Coincidence?

    Video Parodies: “Single Ladies (And Men) Put A Ring On It”

    We’ve really caught Sasha Fierce fever here in The Frisky offices. At least once a day, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” blares from one of our computers. And some of us plan to learn the choreography this weekend. After watching the “Saturday Night Live” skit with Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, we knew there had to be other parody videos. And we were right (we really love when that happens). There are videos of men and women of different sizes and ages “performing” the choreography from “Single Ladies.” We even found a video in which “Mexican Breakfast” video was redubbed with “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” As you know, Bob Fosse created the dance routine for “Mexican Breakfast” and Beyonce borrowed it for her video. After the jump check out the best of the rest of the parody videos. Keep reading »

    Sweet Release: What’s In And Out The Week Of November 19th 2008

    MUSIC

    • Beyoncé I Am…Sasha Fierce
      With this two disc release, Beyonce is all about fantasizing. She’s been slipping on her gling and calling herself Sasha Fierce. The first disc she’s still Beyonce, imagining what she’d do “If I Were A Boy.” Yet she’s got something to say to the gents, “If you like it, you should put a ring on it.” Hm, wonder if that’s the line she used on Jay-Z? But truly, the Queen B is going deeper on her record. Soft songs like “That’s Why You’re Beautiful” are atypical for the happenin’ hit maker, but they beautifully subtle, for once. As Sasha Fierce, on disc two, she throws the dance floor some bones with hot tracks like “Diva” and “Radio.” There’s something for everyone, from club bumpin’ “Say My Name”-esque booty jams to adult laments.

    Star Couplings: Britney Spears To Tell All In MTV Documentary

  • There are three previews out for Britney Spears’ MTV documentary which airs November 30. Above is one of them and Perez Hilton has got the rest. Is Britney really going to explain what the hell was going out during her bizarre meltdown period? [Perez Hilton]
  • According to Us Weekly, she confesses in the doc, “I think it’s too in control. If I wasn’t under the restraints I’m under, I’d feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it’s like they hear, but they’re really not listening. If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I’m having to pay for a long time. I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free.” Aww hell, FREE BRITNEY! [Us Weekly]
