I just went back and checked, and this is the first post I’ve done onCandice Swanepoel in months. Practically a full year. And I think that tells you all you really need to know about the state of the modeling business right now. When we get weekly photoshoots from wannabe fake models like Bella Hadid […]

Here are some photos of Freida Pinto at “For Your Consideration” event for Guerrilla in Beverly Hills on Thursday. I don?t have an issue with Freida in a dusty Pink shade, but doesn?t this suit look really dated? I think I just have an issue with the double-breasted jacket. If this was single-breasted, it would have been a much more interesting look.
Anyway, as we discussed before, Guerrilla is a miniseries event airing on Showtime (in America) and Sky (in Britain). It?s about racial tensions in London in the 1970s, a time when any non-white immigrant in Britain was considered ?black,? at least according to this show. Which means that Freida is playing the lead in a miniseries about the black-power movement in Britain. Which has caused some legitimate concerns that American writer-producer John Ridley (an African-American man) has ?erased? black women from the narrative of a black-power movement. While there?s been a significant outcry in Britain, there doesn?t seem to be much conversation about the erasure of black women in America with regards to this series. Which means Freida has mostly been doing press in America, including this new piece with the NY Post. Some highlights:
Her character protests the infamous Immigration Act 1971, which aimed to send nonwhite British residents out of the country: ?It seems the most natural thing in the world to protest against the immigration act. Today, you have Occupy Wall Street, or the Women?s March on Washington. But something happens at the rally that shakes them up when their friend Julian [Nicholas Pinnock] is wrongly framed by the cops. They need to make an example of someone because he?s outspoken.?
She met with Farrukh Dhondy, a novelist, playwright and activist in the British Black Panther movement. ?We learned a lot about the Black Power movement and what it meant. Anything that was being suppressed, including the Irish, was considered to be blackness.?
Commonwealth citizens came to Britain to work post-WWII: ?A lot of people came from the colonies with their fair share of education and were relegated to jobs below their station. Jas is not feeling fulfilled. She?s trained in the medical field. She could be a real nurse. The same thing for Marcus. They want him to be a driver.?
[From The NY Post]
Again, I have no doubt that this series is a representation of the kind of oppression felt by minority communities in Britain. I have no doubt that the Indian community was just as oppressed, just as maligned and just as active as other minority communities. But? the series is still problematic because there doesn?t seem to be an accurate representation of the black women in the movement too. Is that on Freida? Or is that on John Ridley?

| | Gwyneth Paltrow gave the peasants a 'Goop Guide to Fast Food' | | Added 7 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

For a few months now, I?ve gotten the feeling that Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to make her Goop more appealing to the peasants. Even more specifically, I think she?s trying to appeal to those ?flyover states? which she has, historically, written off in previous years. While Gwyneth is just as clueless and ridiculous as ever, now that she?s running Goop like a for-real business, she?s trying to increase her market. That?s how I explain this new Goop post about fast-food. Gwyneth doesn?t even call anyone a fattie or tell anyone to simply NOT eat anything, both of which are her baseline pieces of advice. So what fast-food recommendations is she giving us for ?clean? or ?cleanish? food? You can see the full Goop post here. Some highlights:
Dairy Queen: The Goop recommendation is a ?50-calorie fudge bar,? but if you?re at DQ, how are you not getting a blizzard, for the love of God?
Chipotle: Goop recommends ?A salad bowl, with some brown rice if you?re hungry. Load up on the veggies, skip the dairy, add black beans, and you?re good to go.?
Wendy?s: Surprisingly, Goop seems fine with Wendy?s and she recommends the ?Power Mediterranean Chicken Salad? with no hummus (which is insane because chickpeas are great for you). She also recommends getting the baked potato (with no sour cream) instead of the fries.
Subway: Basically, order a veggie-heavy sandwich and then don?t eat the bread.
Panda Express: get grilled Mandarin chicken with brown rice and no sauce.
[From Goop]
She goes on to list some other places, like McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, etc, and inevitably she recommends some special order of ?I?d like this salad but take off half the stuff,? which generally defeats the purpose of fast food, but whatever. I feel like Gwyneth just compiled this at gunpoint, actually. It goes against every one of her instincts. Basically, her advice for every fast-food joint is ?JUST ORDER THE SALAD AND DON?T EVEN EAT HALF OF IT.?

| | Jennifer Aniston in a Givenchy LBD in Paris: avant-garde or awful? | | Added 7 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux?s magical Parisian holiday continues! They arrived in Paris earlier this week, seemingly to mix business with pleasure by doing a series of appearances in between some relaxing tourist stuff, like shopping and going for romantic dinners. Last night, they attended the eighth annual (?) Series Mania festival at the Grand Rex in Paris. These are photos from the red carpet, where it seemed like Justin and Jennifer were the only stars in attendance.
While I?ve been enjoying Jennifer?s fashion in Paris in her other outings, I can?t say I like or respect this Givenchy dress. Then again, I rarely like Givenchy these days. There are times when a really crazy/architectural Givenchy will end up on a woman who can really carry it off, but those times are few and far between. This Givenchy isn?t even all that special – it?s just a high-neck tube dress with a cheap-looking ruffle. I think the ?cutout? at the knee is supposed to be high-design, but it makes it seem like the dress is falling apart and/or unfinished. Aniston?s jewelry here is by Jennifer Meyer.
Something nice: I do think Justin and Jennifer look nice together. I would like to see Justin wear a flatter heel though? His wife is short, even when she wears heels. There?s no need for him to wear all of these lifts and heeled boots.
