RIHANNA: INTRODUCING MAKEUP FOR CHILDREN?

We found this glamorous photo online and since this is NOT Rihanna’s child, we couldn’t help but wonder if this as an ad for Fenty Beauty– Rihanna’s cosmetic company that offers “Beauty Created For Everyone.” And what ELSE could it be promoting except for mother- daughter makeup products? The little girl looks very pretty – and a LOT like Rihanna. But we’re not convinced that we like the idea of makeup for toddlers…

FRAN DRESCHER MEANS BUSINESS

HERE’S a first: Fran Drescher without makeup! According to a source, Fran’s makeup free appearance yesterday to announce the SAG/AFTRA strike was deliberate. Fran, who is the president of the actor’s union, took a lot of flak when she was photographed last weekend at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show hanging out with Kim Kardashian. Some union members complained that as the president of the union, she should have been hard at work at contract negotiations and not halfway around the world at a fashion show. Fran, who rarely leaves the house without make-up, deliberately appeared at today’s press press conference au naturel with messy hair and bags under her eyes to give the appearance that she’s been hard at work. Fran, who is usually in designer outfits, completed the serious at work look with a T-shirt and an unflattering hoodie. This was no slip up, she wanted to silence her critics. (we love her either way)

JOHNNY DEPP: TAKING A GROOMING TIP FROM DONALD TRUMP?

 

When we saw this photo of Johnny Depp at the Cannes premier of his movie Jeanne du Barry, we immediately wondered if he had started using the same Clinique for Men bronzer that Donald Trump uses .  Depp usually looks rock n’ roll pasty and considerably rougher when playing with his band. Today we learned from Page 6 that since he represents Dior fragrance, the company sent an expensive  crew of beauticians to give him a total makeover at the hotel before he hit the red carpet. They worked on his hair, his face, and dressed him up head to toe in custom made Dior finery.  Some people have all the luck…

JANET JACKSON ALWAYS HAS A FRONT ROW SEAT

Janet Jackson had an interesting companion for the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. She and shoe designer Christian Louboutin have actually been to several red carpet events together in the past year. It does NOT look like she’s wearing his boots, however. Janet is wearing a Vuitton silver sequin puffy jacket that isn’t doing her any favors. But again it’s her hair that we take issue with. She deserves better than those two large heavy ponytails. And her makeup is way too vivid for daytime. We know how good she CAN look. When Janet and Christian went inside, SHE sat in the front row and he went to the back.

THE REAL KIM KARDASHIAN

Kim Kardashian got up early on Oscar morning to attend her son Saint’s soccer game. Little Saint looks like a mischievous handful (takes after his father?) and you can bet Kim has help with her to keep things under control. That’s Kim’s daughter North behind her, pulling a sweatshirt over her head. But most interesting is the fact that Kim has no visible makeup on and she looks just fine. In fact, she looks years younger. Looking extremely fake has long been the Kardashian template – wouldn’t it be nice if they took a tip from current fashion models and tried to look natural!

VICTORIA BECKHAM WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR MAKEUP DOLLARS

Victoria Beckham is putting all her efforts into promoting not only her fashion line, but her makeup collection. She’s in Paris now for Fashion Week and beautifully dressed in her own designs, as usual. She’s also sporting some freshly enhanced lips to better advertise her Victoria Beckham Beauty makeup and skin care products. There happens to be a LOT of competition in the makeup field right now: Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber are all hoping to be as successful as Rihanna. So Victoria must try harder…

JENNIFER ANISTON FLAUNTS HER TAN

It helps to have a nice tan when you’re posting a no-makeup selfie on Instagram. Jennifer Aniston, 52, blamed “the humidity” for her tousled hair in this bath-towel photo. Keep in mind, the Kardashians are considerably younger and they would not be caught DEAD posting a photo unless they are made up, photoshopped, and styled to the nines…

JEFFREE STAR IS SMARTER THAN HE LOOKS

At first glance, YouTube superstar Jeffrey Star (born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger Jr) might not seem that appealing (personally, we are somewhat appalled by tall men wearing extreme makeup) but he does set a good example in one way. He worked very hard for years, and made himself a YouTube entrepreneurial success. He is now selling his cosmetic collection online to 18 million subscribers and rakes in around $4000 a day. (Imagine that many people wanting to look like him!) This photo says it all: Jeffree is in Beverly Hills sitting in his new custom pink Rolls Royce SUV that cost him over half a million dollars. Inspiring – if he can do it, so can YOU!

LADY GAGA IS GETTING THAT KARDASHIAN LOOK

Hate to mention it, but it seems like ever since Lady Gaga came out with her cosmetic collection Haus Laboratories, she has started looking more and more like a Kardashian. Extremely glamorous and artificial. Hopefully she will ditch the fakery in the movie role she just landed opposite Brad Pitt. She’s costarring with Brad in a thriller called Bullet Train, and the premise is interesting. Five hired assassins find themselves on a bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops. Their missions are related to each other – who will make it off the train and what awaits them at the terminal? Remember, Lady Gaga got an Oscar nomination for her last movie A Star is Born.
