• Rihanna is releasing a second fragrance, Rebelle, this December.
The pop star hopes this probably only slightly different-smelling scent will do as well as her first offering, Reb’l Fleur, which made her $80 million since its debut in January. Do you think you’ll buy it, or are you over celebrity fragrances? (WWD)
• The Versace for H&M collection has already released in Europe and Asia, and it has caused all the madness one could imagine. A fight broke out at an H&M store in Shanghai minutes before opening when a shopper thought someone was trying to cut in front of him. (The Cut)
• In what is truly the shock of the century, it turns out Beyoncé‘s wedding dress, which she recently revealed to the masses in her new video for “I was Here,” was designed by none other than Miss Tina Knowles. If only Ms. Tina could bring that sort of elegance and class to a certain clothing line that shall not be named. (The Cut)
• Hello Beautiful has a tutorial on how to keep your natural hair moisturized this season. (Hello Beautiful)
• Australian model Shanina Shaik walked in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show for the first time this year. She recently sat down with The Cut, discussing her journey from reality TV star (she was featured on Make Me A Supermodel, where she met her current boyfriend, Tyson Beckford,) to VS model. “It doesn’t do well for models to be attached to a reality show. Being on the show, it came to a point where it wasn’t about modeling anymore; it was about the drama. I wouldn’t say I regret it because it did start something for me. Also, I met Tyson because of the show. Let me just tell you, reality TV is not real.” Wha– what? You mean all those situations on Real Housewives of Atlanta are set up? They seemed so real! (The Cut)
• Vogue takes a look back at their favorite covers, from as early as 1902 to as recent as this year. The cover with First Lady Michelle Obama is among the 25 that made the cut. It’s one of our favorites, too! (Vogue)
• Jennifer Hudson and her scrumptious curves cover this month’s Ebony magazine. In this issue, she talks about the size 0 debacle: “I am going to finally address that size-zero thing that Joy [Behar] said on The View. Hell I wasn’t even on the show. I never said I was a size zero. I got crucified by I don’t know how many people who cussed me out because they said I’m putting out the wrong message and telling people to be a size zero. I got called every name under the sun and was told, ‘You should be ashamed of yourself for talking about being that size.’ Well, honey, when I do say I’m that size, then give me that speech. I never said that.” (Beauty is Diverse)

Sucks to say it, but that looks like a Tina Knowles, (Miss Tina if you’re nasty) design. There’s nothing special about it, we can just be happy that she didn’t take her glue gun and bedazzle it to death. No more celebrity fragrances!!!

That Michelle Obama cover is bad. They did a horrendous Photoshop job on her face.
November 18, 2011 11:57 am
I’m not feeling King B’s dress at all and as for J.Hud your weight loss seems to be the only thing keeping you relevant right now and it’s getting tired
November 18, 2011 11:59 am
Wow….they made Michelle Obama’s face look like she smells something bad…she got the stanky face….and tell ‘em JHud….Joy Behr always stirring the pot with over exaggerated comments….
November 18, 2011 12:23 pm
Both the Vogue and Ebony covers could have been done a whole lot better.
November 18, 2011 1:17 pm
OMG its about time we saw Beyonce’s dress! Now waiting on more pictures…lol
I’m happy for J-Hud!
November 18, 2011 1:40 pm
Totally agree with Zimbabwechic about J.Hud and the weight loss thing. I’m kind of getting tired of hearing about it, and her attitude is even worse. I’m starting to miss the heavier Jennifer Hudson. She seems like she was nicer. And why would Vogue put the First Lady on the cover with her hair sticking up like that??? I’ve see so many glamorous photos of Michelle Obama and you’re telling me that Vogue couldn’t style her better…Come on now, smh. Just lost some respect for Vogue…
November 18, 2011 5:49 pm
I thought Beyonce dress would have been better than that.
November 19, 2011 9:09 am
I agree with ZimChic…J-HUD is soooo tired right now…Next!!!!
November 19, 2011 12:15 pm
j hud looks disgusting. there is nothing sexy about saggy baggy skin and if anything she needs a boob job and those stretch marks tended to
November 19, 2011 6:22 pm
I agree w sun kissed and Gigi Young’s comments. Beyonce’s dress looks unfinished …nothing special looking about it. I’m not a big fan of her style anyway…but the dress she wore in the Best thing video was actually really nice and elegant looking.
And that Vogue cover is NOT the business! Her hair is all out of place and she does have the “what is that awful smell” face.
November 20, 2011 2:12 am
If Rebelle is as nice as Reb’l Fleur, I’m all for it. Reb’l Fleur is the best affordable fragrance I have smelled in ages. It goes on so nicely, doesn’t smell like chemical and lasts all day. I was so surprised by it.
November 20, 2011 6:13 pm
jihan, i love your section. please do continue to shade the mess outta these bishes for our entertainment purpose, yes gaawd!
November 20, 2011 6:51 pm
j hud’s weight loss is getting more attention than her singing. smh
of course bey got her mom to design her dress. she had to keep it close, she couldnt risk a designer telling people they were working on something for her. too bad the dress is blah.
i wouldnt mind smelling rihanna’s fragrance in store but i doubt i will buy it. im very picky when it comes tot he fragrances i buy and her last one didnt impress me enough to purchase so i have high doubts that this will wow me.

The comments on here about JHud are disgusting. I haven’t seen any “attitude” from her but it seems sad that all people want to talk to her about is her weight loss which is probably the least interesting thing about her – I think that since she refuses to sensationalize her family’s murders, they chose to focus on that instead of her talent. Anyway I think she’s beautiful & clearly enjoying herself so I, for one hope God continues to bless & keep her.
November 20, 2011 9:05 pm
…why the fizzuk would anybody with a normal brain sensationalize on several of their closest family members being murdered??
that doesn’t make her special. i think it’s nice that she’s got her child and work to focus on. it’s the best way to deal with tough luck in life.
that being said. she is not beautiful to me. i thought there was something special about her when she was bigger. like raw emotion. i’m glad she’s healthy. but she doesn’t interest me anymore like she did before
November 21, 2011 6:49 am
I like J hud… let me start by saying that… but i too agree that her weight loss has totally taken over her career. I really need her to re-focus on her singing career. Anyone can lose weight but not everyone has her talent! We have accepted your new size now let’s get back to making great music!
November 21, 2011 9:12 am
I wouldve for sure thought that Bey’s dress was by Ines Di Santo but I guess not! Go Miss Tina Go!
November 21, 2011 9:54 am
So over J. Hud and the whole weight loss stuff…WHO REALLY CARES! NEXT!
November 21, 2011 9:57 am
Loved Reb’l Fleur. I will be checking out Rebelle! Beyonce’s gown was so elegant and that sweetheart neckline is to DIE for! JHud looks great!
