Famous and Hated...Negative feelings keep them on the Spotlight...

Kelly Ripa
Here’s the deal; I love Kelly Ripa. I would be her if I could. She’s my celebrity girl crush. In fact, when people tell me I’m a lot like her, I feel so happy on the inside I could burst, but some people really hate her. They find her vile and annoying. They hate how skinny she is, they hate her parenting skills, her talk show hosting skills and the fact that she’s the one married to Mark Consuelos.

Why I Quit Modelling- CHRISTY TURLINGTON BURNS...


Image result for christy burns Christy Turlington Burns has revealed why she stepped back from modelling at the height of her career to pursue her studies.

Spotlight: Givenchy’s Pre-Spring 2016 Menswear Collection...

For his Pre-Spring menswear venture—a season complementary to his Resort women’s showing—Riccardo Tisci imagined a one-stop shop for Givenchy’s male customer. For day, he presented sweatshirt casuals in bold graphics in line with his collections past: The roaring Rottweilers of Fall 2011 have become baboons, while the graphics of his recent Fall 2015 menswear lineup were reimagined in an acid green color. (Both these looks were worn with snap-front skirts—not for the wallflower gents out there.) Tisci also mined his denim archive, offering light-wash, distressed separates with leather trim—items that his cult of young fans will swoon over, if they don’t snap up a holey logo sweatshirt (seen last season sans distressing) first.
