Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are going to be sentenced today. Previously, they had only worked out a plea deal with federal prosecutors, all part of Operation Varsity Blues, and dozens of parents scheming and scamming their kids? way into college. Lori and Mossimo were two of the worst offenders, and they were also two of the parents who refused a plea deal the longest. Lori was still running to People Magazine on a weekly basis to simper about how faith-based she is up until the point where she just accepted the plea offer. And now a judge has to formalize it:
Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are set to be sentenced Friday for their role in the widespread college-admissions scandal, bringing their made-for-TV saga to a close. The celebrity couple will appear via videoconference in Boston federal court, where US District Judge Nathaniel Gorton will decide whether to accept a plea deal the duo struck with prosecutors in May.
They admitted to paying $500,000 to scam mastermind William ?Rick? Singer in order to get daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose accepted into the school as crew recruits ? even though neither girl was a rower. Under their plea agreement, Loughlin, 55, would be sentenced to two months behind bars, while Giannulli, 56, would get five months. She?s also agreed to pay a $150,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service. Her husband would pay a $250,000 fine with 250 hours of community service.
Unlike most plea agreements ? where the judge is free to decide on the sentence ? the couples? proposed prison terms are binding if the deal is accepted. If the judge doesn?t accept the terms, the whole deal would be void.
Loughlin was ?feeling nervous? on Thursday, ahead of her sentencing, though also ready for the ordeal to end, a source told Us Weekly. She and her hubby are ?anxious,? but ?looking forward to closing this chapter of their lives,? the source said. Unlike other prominent parents charged in the scheme, they also did not submit letters expressing their regret or notes of support from family and friends to the court.

That?s funny that they didn?t submit notes of support OR express regret. Felicity Huffman was a wreck when she pleaded guilty and she submitted tons of letters of support. I wonder if Lori?s friends have mostly abandoned her. Maybe for her ?notes of support,? she can just submit all of those stupid People Magazine covers she organized to fluff up her image.
Meanwhile, the sentencing is happening in the same week that additional details have come out about Olivia Jade?s complicity in the fraud. Olivia was CC?d on at least one email between her parents and Rick Singer, and she was coached on what to say (and what not to say) to her high school college counsellor so he wouldn?t catch on to the fraud. Which? I mean, we always knew that Olivia Jade and the other daughter were actively involved in the fraud. They were lying their asses off and posing for fake rowing photos and all of that. The news here is that prosecutors totally knew that Olivia was in it up to her eyeballs.

Katie Holmes has been out and about this week in NYC, wearing her mask at all times like a good citizen. But Katie is Katie and she likes some wacky fashion. Earlier this week, she wore an ensemble with wide-leg jeans, a blue-and-green plaid shirt and $430 Birkenstocks. People have strong feelings about Birks but I?ve had cheap off-brand pairs and they?re fine. But I?m saying that as a comfortable-sandal lover. I love flip flops and sandals. I actually love the colors she?s working with in this ensemble I love when people mix blue and green, and I love the combination of jeans and plaid/flannel (I?m a ?90s girl), especially with her coordinated mask and shopping bag. That being said, I had to do a close examination on the jeans because these are like optical-illusion mom jeans. I swear, from certain angles, it looks like the waistband is elastic. Also: I will be so happy if wide-leg jeans come back into style. Truly.
Katie also stepped out on Thursday in this ensemble. She?s really feeling lighter-wash denim for the late summer/early fall I guess. I?m fine with the skirt and I love a pencil skirt, always even in denim. But the sweater! OMG. I hate that. I hate the fussy puckered detail on the shoulder seams. I hate the neck. I hate the billowy sleeves. You know Katie probably got paid to wear this! And you know the sweater probably costs like $600.

I tend to be a night owl who stays up to about 1-2:00 a.m. While I have found several new shows to watch, during my late nights I like to watch Youtube videos, especially the skin and hair care routines of celebrities from Vogue. Half of the time I want to try everything if I haven?t already. It is also a way I keep up with beauty and makeup trends since I no longer do makeup professionally.
So I was excited when I saw the newest Vogue video featured Kat Graham, whom I have loved since she played Bonnie Bennet on Vampire Diaries. She starts the video off talking about part of her hair care journey then shares her skin care regimen which consists of Anastasia BH brow gel, L?Oreal?s Unbelieva-Brow (which I?d like to try), but I currently use L?Oreal?s Makeup Brow Definer Stylist. She also uses Aveeno Makeup Remover Wipes (love these) and Dior?s Capture Youth Serum (which I?d really like to try but at $95 it?s a bit out of my price range) instead I use Peptide Complex Serum by Eva Naturals. Below is the order she uses the products and why as well as the complete video.
?When I first wake up, the first thing I want to do is my eyebrows,? Graham says with a smile. She starts off by shaping them with Anastasia brow gel, followed by L?Oral?s Unbelieva-Brow (which keeps them in place even through her daily workout). Now, for cleansing time: Aveeno?s makeup removing wipes ensure any excess dirt gets removed, while Dior?s Oil Cleanser goes the extra mile to deep clean. She follows up with Dior?s Capture Youth serum for moisture.

What got me emotional was around the 2:44 5:15 part of this video. She starts talking about her hair and how wearing it in a big afro was like therapy for her. For those who do not know, Graham is biracial with a white Jewish mother. She says her mom did not know how to do her hair so she would drop her off at the hair salon every week after she turned nine. But because of social distancing protocols she had to learn how to do her own hair. She also talks about her favorite products that she?s been discovering for her hair and around 5:00 she tears up when talking about how her hair stylist Rachel Lee sent her Cantu?s Avocado Leave-In Conditioner at the beginning of the shut down.
Graham?s quarantine hair journey was partly inspired by her hairstylist, Rachel Lee. Before quarantine officially began, Lee gave her Cantu?s Avocado Leave-In Conditioner. ?It?s almost like she knew I was going to be on my own. And I?ve never had to be on my own with my hair before,? Graham says with tear-filled eyes. ?This was the product that really helped me figure out that my hair will work with me, if I don?t give up on it.? She then slicks her curls back into a bun with Briogeo Curl Cream, the second holy grail product that has transformed her relationship with her hair. Otherwise, it?s all about oils: Manuka, Argan, and Black Rice are her favorites, along with her own concoction of Mustard Seed oil and Jamaican Black Castor. ?You only need a little bit over spots that have given you trouble,? she notes.
I love Cantu products but right now I personally use Suave Leave-In Conditioner with Shea Butter and Coconut Oil which defines my coils making them soft and a bit bouncy and I combine Black Cumin Seed Oil and Chebe Powder mixed with Jamaican Black Castor Oil or Bronner Bros Super Gro Thickener with Sage and Sulfur (I have dermatitis on my scalp).
I like how she keeps her makeup simple, but love how she learned how to do her makeup from Drag Queens in West Hollywood when she used to do music. She said she would also hire them to do her makeup earlier in her career but learned to tone it down over time. I, too, was trained by the Wonder Woman of Drag, Kelly Kline in Austin, TX, who was instrumental in getting me hired at Mac Cosmetics back in 2004. Queens know how to snatch the face for real. But when you live in a humid place, lighter is definitely better. For my foundation I use the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer with Fenty Beauty?s concealer. But enough about me, below are what Kat says she uses daily on her face.
Now, on to makeup: Graham does hers so that it lasts all day?and takes a layered foundation approach to ensure it does. ?We women have hormones. Our skin changes. Sometimes we have dark spots and light spots.? Dior?s Skin Correct foundation, L?Oral?s lightweight foundation, and Fenty?s Match Stix do the trick to shade match the nuances of her skin tone. After concealing, she contours her nose with a technique she learned from her days performing music in West Hollywood drag clubs. Her liquid blush from Benefit gives her a rosy glow while still allowing her freckles to shine through. Next, it?s her favorite part: Doing her mascara. ?To the point where I ask to do it myself when I?m on set,? she says. A flick of shadow from her favorite Dior palette, a swipe of lipgloss, and a swoop of the baby hairs helps to tie everything together. ?Hopefully you guys have enjoyed my self-care routine and have learned a little bit more about my journey,? Graham says, glowing. ?I love you guys.?

Watching this video has made me stan Kat more and it warms my heart to see her fall in love with her African hair. Trust when I tell you, black hair is an emotional thing and learning how to deal with it can be at times frustrating and enlightening. I?ll definitely try some of her recommendations in the future, when I get my coin together. I am looking at you Dior Capture Youth.
Heres Kats video!

| | Olivia Wilde to direct a female-centered Marvel film for Sony | | Added 4 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Olivia Wilde has been tapped by Sony Pictures to direct a female centric Marvel project. Most of us know Olivia as an actress who also did some Broadway work but moved into the directors chair for last years coming of age movie Booksmart. Since then she signed on to direct the psychological thriller Dont Worry Darling which started a bidding war and was eventually sold to New Line Cinema.
Wilde almost passed on this Marvel project because she became quite busy signing on to direct other films but she couldnt miss this opportunity to develop her own female superhero. It is rumored that the secret project will be based on the Spider-woman character. Below are some highlights on the report from Deadline.
The Spider-Woman character has actually been the alter ego of several characters in the Spider-Man timeline over the years including Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson and Jessica Drew, who was the first to sport the costume in the late 1970s. Since the concept is being completely revamped by Wilde, it?s unknown the direction the studio will go with her.
The project has been a high priority since the top of the year and Wilde came close to passing on it as her dance card has begun to fill up quite quickly. At the end of the day, the idea of having a chance to launch her own female superhero was too hard to pass up, and she eventually came around to fully committing to the project.
This marks the second film based around a female character in Sony?s universe of Marvel characters to land a director after S.J. Clarkson was tapped to direct a Madame Webb movie. Sony is also developing Black Cat and Silver Sable movies and is clearly making the effort to diversify the universe.
Around the industry, more and more female filmmakers are getting their shot at directing big-budget comic book movies. Nia DaCosta most recently landed the Captain Marvel 2 job at Marvel and along with Wilde and Clarkson will follow in the footsteps of Patty Jenkins, Cathy Yan and Chloe Zhao, the latter who has the upcoming The Eternals.

Like Ive been saying, 2020 is the year of the woman. With Nia DaCosta signing on to direct the Captain Marvel sequel and now Olivia, the superhero and action genres are going to be lit the next few years. I havent seen Booksmart yet but I will watch it over the weekend. In fact, I didnt even know Olivia had started directing but I am looking forward to this secret project. As a superhero and action film geek I am super stoked that these big studios are starting to sign on women to direct and produce these big budget films. It is about damn time. I feel they were missing out on half the voices in the world by not entrusting women with these opportunities.
Not only are women directing these big action films but they are now starting to be centered in them and that too is exciting. Of course I will be stalking the MCU and Sony twitter accounts for the announcement on what the project is. Olivia posted a hilarious tweet letting us know that she wont be spilling the tea. I guess we will have to wait to find out like we have to wait until next year to see Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman 84, but I am cool with that. If nothing else, Rona has taught me patience. I swear.
Also, I dont know much about Spider-Woman, but if the rumors are true it will be pretty cool to see a woman don the costume. It should be interesting to see what they do with the character and how she fits into the MCU, but for the love of puppies dont make her into a sidekick, that would be very annoying.
