First Listen: Carly Rae Jepsen Releases A New Single Titled ‘Take A Picture’

Carly's Crowdsourced Single Is OUT!
Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 4 Comments
"I take a picture of you / Taking a picture of me"

Carly Rae Jepsen is back with a new single that was created with a little crowdsourcing help from the Coca-Cola Perfect Harmony program … or something like that, I’m not entirely sure of the details but they seem irrelevant to the fact that OMG CARLY RAE JEPSEN IS BACK WITH A NEW SINGLE! Jepsen debuted her new single Take A Picture on American Idol last night but in case you missed it (or want to hear it again and again) you can hear the song in full above. I dig the song but I think it’ll take a few more listens before I decide whether I’m in love with it or not. Do try to not pay attention to the lyrics, it may aid in your enjoyment of the song. Give is a spin and let me know … is this new Carly Rae track a hit or a miss?

If you like, Coca-Cola is giving the song away for FREE download HERE until tomorrow.

'I’ve never wanted to grow up too fast.'
Posted by: Shannon on May 16, 2013| 9 Comments

As many of us know by now, post-Harry Potter Emma Watson is on a whole ‘nother level, and we all need to get mentally prepared for it. She’s got a pivotal, bad girl-esque role in Sophia Coppola‘s new flick The Bling Ring and she’s looking all grown and sexy in the latest issue of W Magazine. W always has really bomb photo shoots (we last saw Tilda Swinton on their cover, and it was awesome), and it looks like we won’t be disappointed by their June/July issue. Click inside to see Emma‘s spread, and to read a few excerpts from the interview. Emma talks Julia Roberts, fame, and her cinematic crush (you’ll never, ever guess who it is).

'The Angelia Effect'
Posted by: Trent on May 16, 2013| 10 Comments

Angelina Jolie is featured on the cover of the new issue of Time magazine this week in the wake of her stunning decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy after she tested positive for the BRCA1 gene (which gave her an 87% chance of developing breast cancer). Because Jolie is arguably the most famous, most high-profile person to spark this level of conversation regarding BRCA1 testing, Time felt it was appropriate to highlight in their magazine the “Angelina Effect“.

Carey Mulligan Dons Christian Dior At ‘The Great Gatsby’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere

Fashionably Late
Posted by: Shannon on May 16, 2013| 1 Comment
View the Gallery / 9 Photos »

Carey Mulligan has been looking pretty fabulous just about everywhere– at the NYC Great Gatsby premiere, spotted outside of her hotel, and recently in a Flaunt Magazine cover story. But this look from the Cannes Film Festival opening night premiere of The Great Gatsby is definitely one of my faves. The actress showed up late to the red carpet wearing a gorgeous duchesse Dior Couture gown, and the simple, elegant look totally blew me away (though the bold, red lip is probably a huge help). Peep the gallery for more! Do you love this look or what?
