Maluma

HEY- WHAT’S THAT ON MALUMA’S HEAD ?

Here’s something you don’t see very often – a famous singer in a suit wearing a babushka. Of course, Maluma is not the FIRST famous guy to wear a headscarf in this Eastern European grandma style – the first was rapper ASAP Rocky, who took considerable teasing for it. Colombian born singer Maluma, 28, who has performed with Madonna, loves unique and colorful fashion, and he’s not above wearing pearls, but he draws the line at skirts, so the babushka is a surprise. Lately he’s been bleaching his hair a fetching platinum blonde so maybe he’s got his hair covered today to conceal black roots…

MALUMA GOT AN AWFUL MAKEOVER THANKS TO HARPER’S BAZAAR

The first time we saw Colombian singer Maluma, 25, was in May at the Billboard Awards when he performed with Madonna. She toyed with him while they sang Medellin from her Madame X album. He was undeniably hot and we could easily see why Madonna “discovered” him. Today we got the new Harper’s Bazaar magazine and here was Maluma looking like a whole new person! Suddenly he didn’t seem so sexy – was it the blonde hair and black beard? The jewelry? The saddlebag and pants? Harper’s Bazaar made him a lot less appealing…

PETE DAVIDSON AND MALUMA HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON – AND IT’S NOT SOCKS

You never know who you’re going to be sitting next to in the front row at a NY Knicks game. Notoriously single SNL comic Pete Davidson was seated next to Colombian heartthrob/singer Maluma (Madonna is a big fan) – we’re not sure if they knew each other before the game, but they attracted lots of paparazzi. Both guys are currently single and have a preference for models. Pete has been keeping company with Kaia Gerber. Maluma looks like he doesn’t like the smell of whatever Pete is eating. Maluma’s handsome looks are somewhat spoiled by the no-socks look he favors…

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND OWEN WILSON ? REALLY?

Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson are filming a romantic comedy, Marry Me, in New York, and of course there’s a bulldog in the cast. The plot deals with a pop star who finds out her fiancé is cheating, minutes before their huge wedding at Madison Square Garden. Furious, she instead marries a random guy from the crowd – most likely played by Owen. Colombian singer (and Madonna favorite) Maluma also has a role in the film – we’re guessing he’s the wayward, but gorgeous, fiance…

THE TWO THINGS WE FOUND MOST MEMORABLE FROM THE BILLBOARD AWARDS

First of all, Halsey. The show was loaded with special effects and huge, extravagant performances, but Halsey’s ultra-simple but exquisite and perfectly choreographed romantic song Without Me is the one we found amazing. Her voice was powerful throughout the acrobatic dance and the fact that her partner was a woman only made it more intense.

Second, Maluma. Leave it to Madonna to find the most delicious Hispanic male singer as a performance partner. Suddenly everyone has discovered Colombian Maluma, above, thanks to Miss M, and we can just IMAGINE Madonna conspiring to seduce this 25 year old cutie!
