Generally speaking, I like and enjoy Victoria Beckham. I think in the last four years especially, she?s softened a lot and seemed to loosen up a bit. She even smiles in public now, and occasionally wears shoes which don?t have a three-inch heel or higher. Her fashion line is going well, and she has stores around the world. Her family life seems better than ever, with an adoring husband, three growing sons and a much beloved daughter. So who is Posh at 42? As it turns out, she learned a lot in her years. She sat down and wrote an open letter to her younger self for British Vogue?s February issue, and I found it mostly charming. Even the ?that?s crazy? moments are couched in Posh?s explanation that she is fundamentally insecure about herself. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
On beauty, plastic surgery & diets: ?Your complexion will sort itself out (in fact you will launch your own make-up brand); as soon as the Eighties are over, your perm will die down, and your weight will settle itself. At school you eat Super Noodles and boxes of Frosties because they say they are fat free, and you will endure many other silly fad diets (including an addiction to green juices). Instead, learn to embrace your imperfections ? that is what I want to tell you. Let your skin breathe; wear less make-up. (And don?t ever let that make-up artist shave your eyebrows! The effects last forever.) You will always be addicted to Elnett hairspray but you will tone it down. Less of the ?Hello! I just got stuck in a wind tunnel?, please. And I should probably say, don?t mess with your boobs. All those years I denied it ? stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you?ve got.
Fashion lessons: ?You are going to have so much fun with your clothes ? PVC catsuits; chokers that say absurd things; weird spiky blonde hair. It will never occur to you that you appear ridiculous. You will turn up at awards ceremonies resembling a drag queen. But I look back at you and smile. It will add interest to your life to go from one extreme to another. I love the fact that you will feel free to express yourself. Fashion will take on added stature one day, but try not to be stifled by it. You will learn, as you mature, to swap heels for Stan Smith trainers, minidresses for crisp white shirts. And you will never be one of those people who just roll out of bed. Wear sunglasses a lot. Even inside. Especially at airports. They turn a nothing-outfit into something quite pulled together and cool.
On boyfriends and lasting love: ?Learn more about football, especially the offside rule. And yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players? lounge ? although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He?s not even in the first team at this stage ? you are the famous one.) And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He?s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.) I?m afraid that most of your first dates will be in car parks, which is not as seedy as it sounds. It is because your manager, Simon Fuller, will warn you, ?Don?t let anyone see you out together or you?ll get hounded.? At the time, you won?t understand why.
On marriage: Have patience. Bite your tongue. Be supportive. And preserve a bit of mystique. Never let yourself go completely (at least brush your hair, clean your teeth, have a bit of a brow going on because you will always want him to look at you and feel attracted). Always make time for each other. Because if you don?t, everything will revolve around the children and I?m not sure how sexy that is! And do not forget the person you fell in love with. You will follow your man around the world, moving from Manchester to Spain, and then America. In Spain you will revel in watching him enjoy some of his best footballing days. Spain is also where you will lay the foundations for your own fashion brand by collaborating with others on denim and sunglasses.
The hard times: ?But I need to warn you: a lot of your time there will be really hard. I?m not afraid to say now what a horribly difficult time it was. People will say awful things. You will be a laughing stock. Every time you turn on the television or look at a newspaper it will seem as though someone is having a go at you and your family. You will learn how mean other women can be. (And it will teach you always to support the women around you, to take them on a journey with you.) Others would crack under the pressure, but you won?t. Use that time to close off, to focus, work hard and protect the children. In relationships people will throw obstacles in your way, and you either manoeuvre around them or you trip up. You will never discuss with David how many children you both want; you don?t say to each other, ?Where shall we live?? You don?t discuss any of that because you will be young and in love. Even when you don?t necessarily want the same thing, your support for each other will mean that you will stick together and grow up together. And it will be worth it.

?And preserve a bit of mystique. Never let yourself go completely?? Yeah, no. I mean, I get it. She confesses her insecurity pretty openly, and I understand that she always wants David to think that she?s beautiful and sexy. But here?s the thing: I bet if she asked him, he would tell her (honestly) that he likes the way she looks straight out of shower or whatever. It?s like Gwen Stefani saying that she liked to wear a face full of makeup at all times for Gavin Rossdale ? how can you be married to a man for so many years and never let down your guard? And I?m sorry, ?You will never discuss with David how many children you both want; you don?t say to each other, ?Where shall we live??? Er, really?
As for the breast implant thing ? we knew she once had them and we knew she had them taken out. I always thought she probably got smaller ones put in, but maybe she just had them taken out and now she?s all-natural?

Because according to my sources, Kendall’sworking for La Perla now, and these are some of the pictures from her latest lingerie shoot for the company. And don’t get me wrong, they’re not bad, but she’s still not exactly supermodel […]

| Zoe Saldana on why Trump won: 'We got cocky,' we became 'arrogant bullies' | Added 7 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

After Donald Trump got elected, many progressives and liberals turned inward, or they turned on each other, trying to put their finger on just who was at fault. I understand the desire to simply look for answers, to gauge your own level of responsibility. Just know that I don?t feel like it?s my fault at all ? I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary and the general, and I openly despised Trump throughout the election. I stand by everything I said, wrote and did. But other liberal/progressives felt differently. Jon Stewart was one of the first prominent progressive voices to basically say that liberals live in an echo chamber and that?s why we lost, that we were too busy scorning Trump and his supporters to realize that we were alienating a lot of ?real Americans? or whatever. Anthony Bourdain said something similar too, that coastal elites are smug and contemptuous and that?s why so many Midwesterners and Southerners voted for Trump. And now we can add Zoe Saldana to the mix ? she blames ?cocky and arrogant? liberals too. Ugh.
It isn’t an opinion heard frequently in the famously liberal Hollywood, but sci-fi queen Zoe Saldana has spoken out against the acting community for bullying abrasive Donald Trump. The “Star Trek,” “Avatar” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” star — who is not a supporter of the Republican president-elect — believes insults flung at him during the race for the White House turned off much of middle America.
“We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies,” the 38-year-old actress said of Trump, who has been frequently berated himself for bullying tactics, including seemingly mocking a reporter with disabilities. “We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong… and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises.”
The Trump campaign that defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was criticized for stoking racial tensions with its rhetoric against Mexicans and Muslims, but Saldana is hopeful the country will never return to the dark days of segregation.
“I’m learning from (Trump’s victory) with a lot of humility,” the mother of two-year-old twin boys told AFP. “If we have people continue to be strong and educate ourselves and stand by equal rights and treat everyone with respect, we won’t go back to those times.”

I feel like so many people are still grieving and that?s what this is about too, this inward blame-game. The What-Ifs of it all are part of the stages of grief. What If we weren?t so contemptuous of everything Trump said. What If we didn?t call out Trump supporters for their tacit or explicit support of racism, misogyny and hatred. What If we had done a better job of arguing why Trump should never become president. But here?s the thing? Trump earned our contempt and he?s still earning it every g?damn day. His supporters earned our contempt when they voted for him given everything he said, everything he promised. And I followed the election closely ? our side did a really good job of detailing every reason why Trump should not be president. If people chose to believe that was ?bullying? or ?arrogant,? then they?re the ones with the problem. Is it arrogant or bullying to say that a sexually assailant, a pervert, a racist and an idiot should not be president? Really?

| Amber Heard & Elon Musk are ready to go public with their new romance? | Added 7 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In the heat of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp?s divorce drama last year, we heard some stories about Elon Musk. Apparently, Amber had met the Tesla billionaire several years ago and he perhaps became ?infatuated? with her. The Hollywood Reporter had the email evidence ? Elon was dying to spend time with her in any way but she had just started up with Johnny Depp at that point. Once Depp and Heard split up, Amber was reportedly spending some time with Elon in seemingly group situations, and it even seemed like Elon was looking out for her in small ways, letting her borrow his hotel room in Florida and such. Perhaps he was playing the waiting game, thinking that eventually she would be ready for him to formally romance her. Or maybe they were hooking up this whole time. Now the Daily Mirror claims that Elon and Amber are actually dating.
She was granted a well-publicized divorce from Johnny Depp last year amid shocking allegations. But it looks as though Amber Heard is starting 2017 with a new lease of life, after it was reported she is besotted with new rumoured flame Elon Musk. The American actress, 30, was first linked to the 34-year-old billionaire businessman last summer, after he was said to have pursued her for ‘years’.
A source told The Mirror: ‘Amber is over the moon about her divorce but she is even happier about being able to go public with Elon. She was telling friends over Christmas how smitten she is with Elon. They are already planning a lot of adventures together and she’s relieved she can move on with her life. It’s an exciting new chapter for both of them.’
MailOnline has contacted Amber’s representative for comment Elon, who is reportedly worth an eye-watering 9.2billion, was spotted in the company of Amber Heard multiple times in August amid reports the tech billionaire has had an interest in the newly divorced actress for years. The Hollywood Reporter spoke with a source who claims that Musk ‘became infatuated’ with Heard after the two appeared in the 2013 film Machete Kills. The duo did not have any scenes together or get a chance to meet on set, so Musk began to email director Robert Rodriguez repeatedly in hopes that he could set up a meeting between himself and the actress – despite the fact that she was with Johnny Depp at the time.
[From The Daily Mail]
Whenever I think of Elon Musk?s love life, I always think of the Marie Claire essay written by his first ex-wife. That piece totally soured me on the idea that Elon is a catch. He may be brilliant ? in fact, I?m sure he is some kind of savant ? but he seems douchey in his romantic life. My hope is that Amber isn?t in the market for another husband, but if she wants to have fun and go on adventures with Elon, so be it.
