Rihanna’s “Interview Magazine” Cover Reminds Us She’s A Good Girl Gone Bad

RiRi’s back. The mother of two has her hands full at home with little RZA and Riot, leaving her with much less time to hit the studio or grab dinner with her gal pals. Nevertheless, the blonde beauty has still been spending time outside, donning consistently fabulous outfits no matter if she’s with her family or rolling solo. We’ve seen some sultry Savage x Fenty snapshots on her Instagram lately, and today (April 9), Rihanna took us back in time to her Good Girl Gone Bad era with photos from her Spring 2024 Interview Magazine cover shoot.

On Tuesday morning, the 36-year-old’s social media lit up with images and videos lensed by Nadia Lee Cohen. For the main snap, Rih channelled her inner nun with a black and white headdress, though she still showed some skin in an oversized white top. Mel Ottenberg was on deck for styling, as well as asking fans’ burning questions to the “Rude Boy” hitmaker. When asked what her favourite part about Los Angeles is, she answered, “My gynecologist, truthfully,” and also dished about wanting to undergo a breast lift after having her babies.

As she often does, Rihanna and her creative team played around with gender expression in this shoot. Some pictures see her smoking a blunt in a white button-up shirt and black leather tie – something her man ASAP Rocky would look equally as dapper in. Another photoset shows the multi-talent looking like a roughed-up housewife. “Literally how I feel in postpartum with two under two,” RiRi wrote in her caption, earning praise for being so vulnerable.

Michael Jackson Estate Claims Thriller Jacket For Sale Is Actually A Fake

Is there a more iconic piece of clothing in pop music than the Thriller jacket? No there isn’t. Michael Jackson’s red and black jacket is as classic as it gets, which is why fans were surprised to see it up for sale. It seemed too good to be true, and evidently, it was. The auction house who made the offer has been criticized by Jackson’s estate for misleading buyers. It appears that the jacket up for sale and the jacket MJ actually wore in the “Thriller” video are not the same.

The auction house in question, Gotta Have It Rock And Roll, listed the jacket as an authentic piece from the set of the classic music video. According to Jonathan Steinsapir, the attorney for Jackson’s estate, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The King of Pop only wore two Thriller jackets during the making of the video, and one of them sold for $2 million over a decade ago. Steinsapir pointed out that the sale of the “real” Thriller jacket was 20 times more than what Gotta Have It Rock And Roll is offering. In other words, the auction house knows they are hocking a random red and black jacket.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller Jacket Is NOT For Sale

Steinsapir’s primary concern is misleading buyers. If an auction house like GHRR can sell an inauthentic piece as authentic, then it compromises the value of real Michael Jackson memorabilia. This would then hurt the pop star’s estate. The attorney demanded the auction house alter its description to reflect the truth, and GHRR obliged. It now reads: “The jacket is similar to the jacket worn in the Thriller video.”

This is not the first time Jackson’s estate has had to keep GHRR in check. In December 2023, estate lawyers took legal action to pull unreleased demo recordings from an auction. Litigator Alex Spiro threatened to get a restraining order against the auction house unless they released the “unquestionably stolen” recordings. The threat proved successful. The recordings have never seen the light day, and have been removed from the official GHRR website.

Kevin Gates Obliterated Online For His Tight-Fitting Outfit

Kevin Gates is an artist who has always said and done things outside of the box. Overall, he has made numerous statements on radio shows, podcasts, and interviews that make you question the reality you live. At the end of the day, it is the Gates experience at this point.

Shirley Ju was one of these reporters as she got some snaps of her interviewing the artist. However, no one could have predicted the social media frenzy that would take place soon after. Below, you can see it stemmed from Gates’ tight pants that were complemented by some high socks and a lack of a shirt.

He need to chill,” said another. The comments were all very similar, and it just goes to show that Gates has left some people polarized. That said, skinny jeans might just be coming back in style.

“COWBOY CARTER” Streaming Numbers Set 2024 Record, Beyonce Glows In Western Garb: Photos

Beyonce hinted before unleashing COWBOY CARTER that she had much more than just a country album in store for us, and she didn’t disappoint. Throughout the 27-track LP, the Houston native explores genres like bluegrass, Jersey club, pop, rock, hip-hop, and even mixes in some operatic runs just to flex her vocal range. Since she first confirmed that the second act of her RENAISSANCE trilogy would pay homage to her Southern roots there’s been a lot of curiosity – so much so that COWBOY CARTER has already managed to break records on various streaming platforms.

As Billboard reports, Bey’s eighth studio album is Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day so far this year as of Friday (March 29). One of its first singles, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” had already racked up over 200M streams before COWBOY CARTER‘s big debut. Elsewhere, Amazon Music is celebrating some major wins for the mother of three on their platform. “[It has] the biggest debut to date earning more first-day streams on Amazon Music globally than any of her previous albums. The album also marks the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist in the history of Amazon Music,” the outlet declares.

As the world continues to enjoy act ii, Beyonce has been filling her Instagram feed with all the Western outfit inspiration we’ll need this summer. Her W Magazine cover shoot is particularly eye-catching, with textures like ruffles and leather drawing us in. As of now, the “Baby Boy” songstress doesn’t have any visuals for either RENAISSANCE album. Still, we can’t wait to see what she’s planning for those and the rumoured rock-centric act iii.

If you’re reluctant to listen to COWBOY CARTER but still want to see what all the hype is about, we suggest streaming “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN.” The infectious song connects Beyonce with Pharrell Williams and Shaboozey to give us a taste of the former’s femcee side that we’ve been craving. If she releases a remix, fans are hoping to hear Megan Thee Stallion jump on the beat. Tap into the new song at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Bianca Censori Flaunts Her Curves In Sheer White Bodysuit On Lunch Date With Ye

Bianca Censori is certainly not a stranger to turning heads with her scandalous fashion statements, and a recent lunch date with her husband Ye was no exception. Over the weekend, the couple was spotted at what’s become one of their go-to restaurants, the Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in L.A. While Ye opted to rock a comfy pair of sweats and a hoodie, the Australian model took things up a notch with a sheer white unitard, leaving little to the imagination.

She completed the eye-catching look with a simple pair of white heels, an understated makeup look, and a sleek updo. This isn’t the first time Censori left patrons at the Cheesecake Factory in awe, however. Earlier this month, she and her man hit up the hotspot again before it even opened. They waited outside patiently until the staff allowed them in. Luckily, Ye was able to pull a few strings, and they got in about ten minutes before opening time.

As expected, Ye went for his signature baggy black fit. Censori, on the other hand, stunned in a nude see-through bodysuit and a pair of tiny matching shorts. She again complimented the minimal look with a chic updo and heels. It remains unclear exactly what it is about the Cheesecake Factory that has the high-profile pair so invested, but it’s safe to say there are more lunch dates in their future.

Ice Spice Will Hit New York City In A Super-Sized Collaboration With Alexander Wang

Earlier this month, fashion brand Alexander Wang announced their new collaboration with Ice Spice. The breakthrough rapper had a viral moment last year during her appearance at the MET Gala. And now she’s once again dipping her toes into fashion by serving as an ambassador for the brand. But now according to HipHopDX they’ve announced the next step in their collaboration and it’s a big one. According to a new press release, they’re hitting NYC with an impossible to ignore promotion next month.

“Starting in Times Square, a super-sized inflatable of Ice Spice will drive around NYC for the whole day, offering city-dwellers a look at Alexander Wang’s latest collection and campaign. The inflatable will be driven throughout the city, hitting up high-foot traffic areas for all to see,” their press release reads. It’s reportedly due to get underway on April 6. The ambition mirrors what Spice herself was seeking in her statement earlier this month. “As an artist, I’m always challenging myself on how I can contribute to culture in a way that drives things forward, and Alexander Wang is a great vehicle for that with this incredibly bold and global campaign,” she said. Check out their collaboration announcement below.

Earlier this week, Ice Spice became the most recent celeb to appear on Hot Ones. The famous interview show puts celebs to the test while they’re forced to taste test increasingly hot wings. While Spice held up admirably, she eventually caved to the heat and had to tap out.

Earlier this month, Ice Spice stepped out wearing a Dolce look at the Oscars. Some fans criticized the look for being predictable or plain, but Spice took to twitter to clap back at the haters shortly after. What do you think of Ice Spice teaming up with Alexander Wang? Do you think driving a giant version of the rapper around New York is a good way to promote the new line? Let us know in the comment section below.

Amber Rose Claims Ye Pressured Her To Dress Provocatively Despite Her “Conservative” Values

It’s no secret that Amber Rose is known for her seductive image, but according to the personality, that wasn’t entirely up to her. During a recent appearance on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, Just B, she opened up about her high-profile relationship with Ye. She says the partnership cemented her image as “this sexpot type of girl.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t necessarily align with the “conservative” person she is deep down.

“That was my first relationship with a celebrity ever but also in the public eye,” she described. “And he knows a lot about fashion and he always wanted me to dress very sexy… I would have producers saying, ‘We want to do this video for MTV and we want you at the pool, with a bikini on, martini in your hand.’ And I’m like, ‘Ugh, I’m so not her. Like I’m so not her and I get what I come off as but I am so not her.’ And they’re like, ‘Well I guess you don’t want to do it then.’”

Amber Rose Looks Back On Her Relationship With Ye

This is far from the only time Ye’s been accused of encouraging his partners to dress a certain kind of way, however. He’s frequently under fire for his current wife Bianca Censori, for example, and her head-turning looks. Reportedly, the Australian model’s family members have even expressed concern over her outfit choices as of late.

Last week, a source even told Page Six that her father has invited her and Ye to Australia to discuss her recent fashion statements, and that she’s “hesitant” about the conversation. What do you think of Amber Rose claiming that Ye pressured her to portray a certain image during their relationship? Are you surprised?

Safaree Recalls Viral Nicki Minaj Diss While Plotting “Pink Friday 2” Tour Look

Safaree Samuels has never claimed to be perfect, but one thing we can always count on the 42-year-old to provide us with is entertainment. From the salacious content on his OnlyFans account to his rollercoaster of a love life, it’s hard to know what to expect from Saf. As of late, his name has been frequently linked to one of his exes, Nicki Minaj, for several reasons. First, there are hip-hop heads finally giving the New Yorker credit for his hilarious adlibs on Nicki Minaj’s “Did It On ‘Em,” which only elevated his then-girlfriend’s iconic NSFW bars.

More recently, Safaree is reminding fans of the time Minaj dissed him for his fashion choices as he tried to critique hers. “I’m definitely going to a Gag City concert in full disguise,” he wrote on Twitter/X on Wednesday (March 27). “Y’all will not even notice me and I will enjoy the show!! Can’t wait!! Ima document it too and drop a video after 😂😂😂,” the reality star laughed. Minutes later, he returned with another post, adding, “Imma wear a jean vest too! Can’t wait!!”

Safaree Wants to Take a Trip to Gag City

If you’re not familiar, during the making of her E!: My Truth special in 2012, Minaj put Safaree on blast for donning denim that didn’t meet her standards. “The jacket…” he begins to criticize his partner in one viral snippet as the “Starships” artist enters into a room wearing a white blazer. “The jacket looks great, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but every woman in here loves the jacket,” the Trinidadian lyricist tells Samuels off before adding, “Please… You wore a jean vest!”

Cardi B & Stylist Kollin Carter Grace The Cover Of “The Hollywood Reporter,” Highlight Their Most Iconic Looks

The Hollywood Reporter recently unveiled their “Power Stylists” issue, and gracing the cover is none other than Cardi B and her stylist Kollin Carter. The issue works to shine a light on some of the most iconic looks of the recent past and the minds behind them. The outlet highlighted the showstopping Chenpeng gown Cardi rocked at the 2023 Met Gala honoring Karl Lagerfeld, which took roughly 300 hours to create.

“Karl Lagerfeld was such a force, so I wanted to pay tribute to him but also incorporate elements of Chanel, one of Cardi’s favorite houses,” Carter said of the look. “We’ve given look after look, year after year, we’ve reached into archives that are impossible to reach into. We caused a cultural shift. I don’t think there were many women like Cardi who existed in the fashion space. Now there are a ton of other rap females who aspire to be in that space because they see what’s possible. We set trends.”

Cardi B also noted the hurdles they were up against along the way, which they ultimately overcame as a team. “There are so many obstacles against us. For example, this body is not meant for a size 2. I’m very hips, a**, and that’s me,” she explained. “It was not easy, but we make it look easy. Our door was closed many times … but we’re here because we do it well. I’m not going to be humble about it.”

The “Enough (Miami)” performer shared some photos from the fun shoot on Instagram earlier today alongside a heartfelt caption. “Soooo happy to do this cover with my fashion partner in crime @kollincarter,” she wrote. “We might make it look easy but we worked so hard for all of this… WE knocked down doors together and forced those no’s to eventually turn to YES. Ladies and gentlemen… WE MADE IT!!” What do you think of Cardi B and her stylist appearing on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter? Which of their looks was your favorite?

Kim Kardashian Might’ve Copied Bianca Censori’s Look, Some Fans Speculate

Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori are two fashion icons in their own right, albeit in very different ways in very different eras. However, their link through their common partner Ye extends beyond the relationship realm and into their style choices, or at least, that’s what some fans are alleging now. Moreover, the reality TV star’s most recent IG post shows her with no top in a large fur coat, along with sleek shades, slicked-back hair, and brown tights. A lot of folks compared this to a recent look from Censori, who also wears her hair like that, recently donned a similar coat, and is known to be more revealing and lewd with her presentation.

However, when has Kim Kardashian ever been a symbol of conservative clothing, and have we really forgotten how she often breaks the Internet with her tantalizing beauty? To be clear, this isn’t a bad thing at all, but it seems a tad out of touch to paint her as the more shy or traditionalist fashionista in this case, and it’s not right to villainize Bianca Censori either. Furthermore, you can draw these connections between plenty of celebrities, most likely, but Ye unites these two in a unique way, leading to comparisons. It’s an understandable conclusion, but still an odd one.

Kim Kardashian’s New Look, Fans Think It’s Copying Bianca Censori

Still, it seems like they might actually be in a position to talk about fashion, at least a little bit. The two have been spotted together at various of Ye’s recent events, and while they didn’t speak much, fans speculated on what the energy must’ve felt like. There’s no legitimate news on how they actually feel about her, something that will likely develop over time. But we hope that Bianca Censori and Kim Kardashian find more commonalities than differences and keep up some amicable relationships.

Meanwhile, this is adds to other recent comparisons between these two, which are for your to determine their worth. Is there really some biting going on here or are these just fans being rowdy for the sake of it? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts on all this down in the comments section below.
