Michelle Obama Glamour Cover December 2009

Michelle-Obama-Glamour-Cover-December-2009

Michelle Obama, the First Lady with style and class, covers Glamour magazine for December 2009.

The December 2009 Glamour is the magazine’s annual Women of the Year issue.

This issue is dedicated to women who have done something positive, or have influenced young women in the past year in a positive way. Her fashion, her status as a role-model, and a positive African-American matriarch figure, is matched by her intellect and role as the first ever African-American First Lady.

Michelle Obama is the first wife of a President to grace the magazine’s cover, in its 70-year history. And it’s something well-deserved. As the magazine points out, you can’t talk about the women of 2009 without also discussing Obama.

View under the cut for snippets from Michelle Obama’s, interview in which she offers advice that women can really use in their lives and with their families.

Taylor Swift Does a Retro Photoshoot in London

33513PCN_RedSwift12

Taylor Swift did a retro-style photoshoot in London’s trendy Notting Hill area, earlier in the week. The 19-year-old singer wore a striking scarlet dress with a matching colour lip stain and nails. She also wore a floral, beaded headband reminiscent of those worn by flapper girls.

She was seen snacking on cupcakes and drinking out of the cool old-school glass coke bottles. This style of dress is outside of the usual styling for the country music star, and is more the kind of look one would expect from someone like Katy Perry or Lily Allen. But, she pulls this off well. Actually, she wears the look very well indeed.

Kat Von D Without Her Tattoos for Sephora

Kat Von D recently did a photoshoot for Sephora, with full body make-up, in order to hide her tattoos.

The Miami Ink star is kat-von-d-without-tattoos-photoshopped-for-sephora-2doing a campaign for their new fragrance. This chica is fierce and has been playing around with her look a lot lately. If she is not changing the weave to a new blonde colour, she is experimenting with going tattoo-free.

Here is what Von D had to say about her being faux tattoo-free for Sephora.

“Aside from that, I am proud of the tattoos Corey, Dan and I did for the show – and I finally get to reveal to the gang photos from my Sephora shoot for the new fragrances I’ve been working so hard on!!!” (From her official MySpace)

Solange Knowles New Shaved Haircut

solange-knowles-shaved-head

Solange Knowles has a new haircut and showcased it earlier today. She took the “haircutting” a little too seriously and actually took the whole lot off. But it’s a fresh new look and it’s hard to be mad at her. Solo Orange still looks cute without any locks and I bet not having to deal with that lace front weave mess feels great. There are conflicting reports of when she got this done, as she could have been hiding a shaved head under her weave for some time. Orange must need some media love today, as she has chosen now to show her cropped head off.

Hayden Panettiere Details August 2009 Pictures

Hayden Panettiere covered and gave an interview with Details for their August 2009 issue. The 19-year-old opens up about her paparazzi paranoia, having a high profile personal life and getting beat up in middle school.

  • On being different: “It wasn’t like I suddenly started feeling different. I always knew that I was. I never felt I missed out – in fact, it was like, ‘Oh, thank God I’m not that.”
  • On being bullied in junior high school: “I was tortured, emotionally tortured by these girls. Every time I came back from filming, it would be me trying to find my way back into the clique. And they weren’t having it.”
  • On her failed romance with pedo bear (Milo Ventimiglia): “When it comes to relationships, it’s nice to have something that is your own and not everyone else’s. That’s not part of my job. I never stood up on a podium and said, ‘Vote for me – I’m perfect. I’ll be this for you and never do anything wrong.’”
  • On her father’s arrest: “It’s turned my life upside down and shaken it,” Hayden stated frankly. “It was very tough, especially since it’s my family. It’s one thing if you do it to me. I get frustrated, but I can handle it. But when it involves my family, my friends, forget it—I lose my… I learned the game. The more I react, the angrier I get, the more satisfaction they get. That’s exactly what they want.”

The star’s new comedy, I Love You, Beth Cooper, is in theaters today (July 10).

What is That Thing On Lady GaGa’s Head?

FP_3210843_BARM_Lady_Gaga_062909

Lady Gaga was spotted out wearing a hair covered hat in the shape of a large button in Whalley Range, Manchester, UK.

This hat is right on that terrifying line, between the horrors that will haunt your dreams at night and brilliance. I’d rock that bish and look as clownish as Parasite did when she tried to rock this chica’s hair bow. As well as the hat, gotta give some fashion props where they are due – the backless black suit is fierce, as are the glasses she is wearing. 7 out of 10.

Some more shots of Lady GaGa’s button shaped hair/ hat thingy below.
