Trend Alert: Candy Pink Lips

We already know to rock green nail polish this season, but what do we do for our lip color? Look no further than trendsetter Blake Lively who showed off candy pink lips at a Chanel benefit event earlier in the week. Makeup artist Angela Levin was the creator of the look, and Usmagazine details the process to get this fierce look: ‘To get the look, Angela lined the upper and lower lashes with shimmering black liner and stroked on three coats of mascara. She then created the perfect pink shade for lips by blending two shades (sometimes to get the best shade, you have to work a bit of magic!). First, she swiped on Chanel Rouge Allure in Mythic (a nude shade), then she layered on Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Ming to get the perfect pink shade.’ Pair your candy lips with dark eyes and have your perfect night out look.

Victoria Secret Fashion Show Minus Heidi Klum

We won’t be seeing Heidi Klum is lingerie for this year’s Victoria Secret Fashion Show. The supermodel, 36, will take on hosting duties instead for the November 19th event. Klum and husband Seal welcomed a fourth child, daughter Lou, just last month. Even though last year Klum had just two months after giving birth to get back into shape, she had even less time this year, and will instead be a host. The fashion show will air on December 1st on CBS, and The Black Eyed Peas have been tapped to perform.

Chris Brown Talks to MTV About Rihanna

Chris Brown is now talking to MTV about assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and entering a guilty plea to felony assault charges. People.com released this excerpt from Brown: “It’s like, ‘How do we get past it? How do you, Chris’ – talking to myself – ‘how do you go from point A to point B? How do you learn from your mistakes, turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation, and at the end of the day become the person that you want to be?”
Brown spoke with MTV correspondent Sway Calloway during the one hour interview, which will air Friday at 6 pm.

Khloe Kardashian Slammed with Fake Relationship Allegation

Khloe Kardashian is getting slammed by ex-boyfriend, NBA star Rashad McCants. Rashad is claiming that Khloe and her sisters faked a segment for their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s. The segment shows Kim hacking into Rashad’s home voicemail and listening to suggestive voicemails left from other women, causing Khloe to believe Rashad was cheating on her.
McCants, 25, has a different story. He told New York Post’s Page 6 that there was no way they could break into his home phone, because they never had the number. He also claimed that he and Khloe “had already called it quits” in January, before the voicemail hacking segment was ever taped.
Khloe is married to another basketball player, Lamar Odem, and is battling speculation that the marriage is fake. Usmagazine reports that reps for E! and Khloe have not returned calls or commented on this accusation.

Kim Kardashian Gets Black Eye

Kim Kardashian boxed for charity- and has the black eye to prove it! I posted earlier how some of the Kardashian family (Kim, Khloe, Robert, Bruce Jenner and Scott Disick) were stepping in the boxing ring, fighting the highest bidders and donating that money to the Dream Foundation. Kim posted her “after” picture on her website today, displaying her shiner. She wasn’t the only one that was defeated in the match- Robert suffered a concussion after being hit when his mask was falling off. Kim writes on her page: “At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts. Rob is doing fine now and my black eye will be gone soon… I hope,” she wrote. “You can try to bring the Kardashians down… but we’re a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can’t hold us down!”

No Romance for Howard and Henson

They may have hosted the Soul Train Music Awards together, but there is absolutely no romance going on between Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. Both the actor, 40, and actress, 39, are denying rumors that they are dating to Usmagazine. Howard was quoted as saying, “I’ve known her too long. She knows what I’m thinking!” I guess we will just have to wait and see on this one.
