PEDICURE PRETTY

Spending the afternoon getting pampered with a pedicure at a Los Angeles salon on March 15, Ciara was photographed heading to her car in a casual ensemble. Since LA has been unseasonably warm the past few days, Ciara opted for a pair of distressed cut off shorts (take your pick between Tag Jeans' Lima Cut Off Short in Canyon or Work Custom Jeans' Beatnik Short in Medium Riviera) with a slouchy oversized t-shirt (like Bobi's Slub Tee in White), and then wore a pair of tough motorcycle boots. Accessory wise, C toted a black bag (like Jalda's Fabric Masha in Black) and then loaded up on beaded bracelets on her right wrist. Are you into Ciara's look here, readers? It seems like C has been having tons of fun lately, as after she got her salon fix she headed out for a girls' night on the town. Ciara was seen having a girls dinner at STK in LA last night, and was joined by her gaggle of famous friends including Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams, Lala Vazquez and Brittny Gastineau. Kim even tweeted a picture of all of the lovely ladies at dinner. Sounds like a fun night was had by all!

SHIRTLESS SKATEBOARDER

Going for a shirtless spin on his skateboard in Manhattan Beach, CA on March 9, Zac Efron definitely caught the shutterbugs' attention as he flaunted his fine physique for all to see. The epitome of a stylish California beach boy, Zac rocked a pair of cut off Levi's shorts with a pair of Calvin Klein underwear peeking out. Then, ZE tucked a red plaid shirt into the back of his jeans, wore a pair of white sneakers and a few bracelets on his left wrist. To get a summertime look that's totally Efron, try taking a pair of great fitting jeans (such as Joe's Jeans' Classic Jean in Baz or Citizens of Humanity's Sid Jean in Cipro) and turning them into shorts by cutting them at the knee. From there, opt for a casual red plaid shirt, like either Shirt by Shirt's Woven Shirt in Red Plaid or Tankfarm's Plaid Woven Shirt in Red. It seems like Zac is all about showing off his body ever since bulking up and gaining 18 pounds of muscle for his latest role as a Marine in The Lucky One. However, since shooting wrapped, People reports that "Zac's lost weight, but is keeping up his fitness routine. He loves exercising outside." This definitely seems to be the case, I wonder how many calories Zac burned with his skateboarding session?

Rihanna: My Haircut Transformed My Style

Rihanna‘s hair isn’t the only thing that’s red-hot these days: the star is bigger than ever, from her Grammy wins to her ad campaigns to her new fragrance. And now, she’s opening up in April’s Vogue about becoming a style icon — and learning to love herself in the process. Fashion, she says, has “become more about taking a risk. When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work.” Key in her style evolution was her major hair chop a few years ago, which she says transformed her look: “When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.” Another recent realization for the pop star? Coming to terms with her figure. “Over the holidays … I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy,” she says. “For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.” Tell us: Are you a fan of Rihanna’s style?

Cox is on the Cover

The "Cougar Town" star is the April cover model for Harper's Bazaar. She tells the magazine she would have "waves of pain" if she decides to divorce her husband, David Arquette, who checked out of rehab in January. The two are separated and have a daughter, Coco, who is six.

Eminem's Daughter In Twitter Hoax

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade Mathers is at the centre of a Twitter hoax, after it was revealed that a fake account was set up in her name.

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade, who features in a number of the rapper's lyrics, does not use the social networking site Twitter and an account purporting to be hers is fake, according to E! Online. In recent weeks, a user calling herself 'Angry_Blonde' has claimed to be the daughter of the multi-award winning rapper. The twitter user fooled fans of the singer by sending tweets to her 'mother' '@kimmathers' and claiming to know Chris Brown. However, the individuals' elaborate prank was foiled after Eminem's publicist and label representative Dennis Dennegy confirmed that the account is fake, noting that Hailie has never had a Twitter page. Recent tweets by 'Angry Blonde' include, "What are some good books to read? Teen/ romance", and "Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a persons character lies in their Own hands".

Hailie is Eminem's daughter from his marriage to Kimberley Anne Scott. The couple divorced in 2001 but remarried again in January 2006. Their second divorce was finalised in the same year, with the couple agreeing to share custody of Hailie.

Biggie Smalls & Shaq: A Larger Than Life Friendship

Whenever September 13 or March 9 roll around, it has become custom to expect a slew of articles, videos and everything in between paying respect to Hip Hop’s fallen giants: Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. The concept has been beaten into the ground long ago, but it serves as a true testament to the unwillingness of pop culture to let go. And that’s fine.

ESPN’s Outside The Lines somehow gave the old dog a new trick when they focused their attention on the close friendship of Shaquille O’Neal and B.I.G. It also tied into the fact that The Diesel celebrated his 39th birthday today. Given the fact Wallace referenced Shaq in “Gimme The Loot” and even appeared on their 1996 collaboration “Can’t Stop The Reign,” the fact they knew each other was apparent. What was not, however, was how much the future Hall Of Famer often blames himself for Big’s death. Losing a close friend is one thing. Not being their when they passed knowing you were supposed to is something you never get over, regardless of time and prayers.

It was interesting to see a usually exuberant and boisterous Shaq become the exact opposite when reflecting on one night that changed music forever. At that point, he was like the rest of us when speaking on memories of Biggie; even though his were from a closer vantage point. For all intents and purposes, the bond appeared to be real. The perplexing element of the story is the question Shaquille asks himself all the time: What if he had been in the car? Would the outcome have changed? And if it didn’t, how much different would the landscape of basketball look? Thankfully, life spared us from having an answer for the last two.

Justin Timberlake Was "Miserable" For Years with Jessica Biel

Last week, Justin Timberlake and his beau of two years, Jessica Biel, announced to the world that the two had officially parted ways. Now US Weekly claims to have an insider who has the true scoop behind the split.


Timberlake, 30, “had been aggressively trying to end things” with the actress, 29, since the Golden Globes Jan. 16, one source close to the singer tells the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.

Justin’s pal goes on to add:

“…He hasn’t been happy with Jessica for close to two years.” (The couple got together in January 2007, shortly after Timberlake’s split from Cameron Diaz) “You’d be surprised at how soon the love was lost on this one,” the friend continues. “Justin said he was miserable.”

Timberlake allegedly finally fessed up to his feelings about the relationship shortly after his birthday on January 31st.

“He just said he didn’t want to marry her and it didn’t feel right,” another source says. Biel, the source says, was blindsided. “It just stung her in the heart. He didn’t admit the cheating, even though we all knew it,” claims the insider.

Whew, that’s a mouthful right there! If this blabbermouth truly is Justin’s friend, we’d never want to meet Justin’s enemies…
