Halle Berry to Cover September Vogue and Star in Shoe Addicts Anonymous

Halle Berry isn't just showing off her bikini body on the beach with little Nahla these days. She's also covering Vogue's "biggest issue ever" and signing on to star in the latest fashion flick, "Shoe Addicts Anonymous."

The comedy, which is scheduled to release in Fall 2011, is an adaptation of Beth Harbison's best-selling book. I love Halle in comedies (so fun! so uninhibited!) so I'm sure it'll be hit. Are you guys looking forward to this?

And if her stunning beauty in Paparazzi shots is any indication, Halle will look ravishing on the cover of Vogue. Our only wish is that little Nahla in a matching outfit, could get some Anna Wintour love as well.

Are you looking forward to Halle's cover? (Here's her old Vogue cover...)

Kelly Rowland's Perfect Body in Her Album Promo Pics

For all intents and purposes, Kelly Rowland will henceforth be referred to as Black Barbie. That is the only way to aptly capture her perfect body.

Milelong legs, a true flat stomach and gorgeous skin, Kelly Rowland stuns in her promo pics for her album, which has now been pushed back to late October for release. (She says she's still recording.)

How did they manage to hide/downplay all this beauty during her Destiny's Child years?

While I'm not crazy about the look in the leather jacket photo, I have to say it inspired me to get up early and do ab work before going to the office today.

What do you think of Kelly's pics? Are you excited for the album?

Call The Glambulance: Taylor Momsen Really Doesn't Brush Her Hair And Smears Black Eyeliner All Over Her Eyes Daily!

Ok, Glamazons, this is a topic that has been much speculated on in the beauty world: does Taylor Momsen ever comb or brush that straggly mess of a weave on her head?

The 16-year-old Gossip Girl star recently revealed to the world (via MTV) that no, she doesn't brush her hair. Now we can stop wondering why her extensions look a hot sizzling burning mess.

Note to Taylor: weave must be brushed (or combed) so it won't look like this:

Also, we can stop wondering who does her makeup. Shortly after revealing that she fired her stylist, I immediately started thinking that her makeup artist should be fired as well. But, oh wait, she does her own makeup! Hence why that also looks a sizzling mess. Here's what she had to say about her makeup application:

"I put a ton of black on my eyes, then I put on lipstick on and a little bit of blush and then, I don't brush my hair. [I use] whatever black eyeshadow and liner - that isn't empty- in my makeup case and charcoal it on."

Really Taylor?! Now, don't get me wrong, I totally respect people's desire to assert their individuality and all that jazz, but why hasn't she realized that smearing black eyeshadow all around your eyes like that is just not attractive? Sigh.

Well, she's young. I'm sure that this is a phase....on the bright side, at least she doesn't have weaveless patches showing like Britney.

What do you think of her beauty regime (and look!), Glamazons?

Katy Perry Reveals News Of Her Fragrance, 'Purr'

Not to be outdone by the rest of celebrity America, Coutura's BFF Katy Perry (see them hanging out above) donned a purple wig and fitted mini with music notes Thursday and revealed her latest creation: a new scent called Purr.

And from the looks of it, she worked pretty hard to get it just right. Calling herself a "pain in the ass" when it came to working on the fragrance, Perry told WWD that about 90 percent of it was done.

"You can put all the bells and whistles on things, and it can still smell like sh*t," she said. "I was very particular about this....I couldn't put out something that I didn't 100 percent believe in. Even my cat Kitty Purry, like it."

Well said, Perry! WWD also reports that she jokingly told one reporter to "go to hell" when asked how her wedding plans were going. (She's engaged to equally-as-crazy Russell Brand.) Now, that's my type of gal.

As for why she decided to name it 'Purr', Perry had the below to say:

"I'm a very lyrical-based person, and the whole 'purr' thing kept coming back - [the sound is in] perfume perfect, even Perry if you say it a certain way."

Citing that she wanted her fragrance to be "completely unlike anything I'd smelled before," her new juice will include notes of peach nectar, apple and green bamboo, freesia, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid. All of this will accordingly be packaged in a cat-shaped bottle inspired by her very own Catwoman costume.

Today she's slated to be holed up in a studio somewhere shooting the ads in what we're guessing will involve a lot of colorful, latex costumes.

No info as to how much 'Purr' will cost, but it's set to launch in November at Nordstrom stores.

What do you think, Glamazons? Does this sound like a fragrance you'll be purchasing when it launches?

Jennifer Aniston Renames (And Launches) New Fragrance

So, this is kind of like the equivalency of having a child, naming it, announcing it's birth, and then (after much thought) deciding that maybe it should have a different name. Which means that you would then have to send out a new set of announcements saying that what you thought was the name wasn't really!

Ok, so I'm not pregnant or having a child (wait, neither is Jennifer Aniston!) but I am talking about her choice to change the name of her fragrance at the last millisecond. It's like the equivalency of the above (you know, the whole having a child scenario that I described).

The 41-year-old actress launched not Lolavie (the fragrance's previous name) but Jennifer Aniston the fragrance.

Yawn.

At least Lolavie was an interesting name, but I guess that the marketing geniuses behind the fragrance decided against it at the last second. This might have been ok if they hadn't already released the news and had it splashed all over the cover of WWD. Ugh.

But, onto the fragrance news: the actress recently launched her signature scent at overseas at Harrods in London wearing a strapless, nude colored mini Valentino dress and sporting some rather sleek tresses. As previously reported here on The Glamazons, us Americans will have to wait until later this year to get our hands on a bottle.

Oh, and did I mention that new shots from advertising are out for it as well? Unsurprisingly, she's topless at the beach in one of her fave spots: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I do have to admit that her body is banging, right?!

What do you think of the new name of Jennifer Aniston's fragrance? Don't you think the name LolaVie was much more interesting? Do you think maybe she's hiding something? (I do!) Hmmmmm.....

Best Beauty News Ever: MAC Is Launching A Wonder Woman Collection

Hey Glamazons! Oh, this just makes my adult Ferocia life!

MAC announced Wednesday that it will be teaming up with DC Comics to release a limited edition line of color cosmetics inspired by Wonder Woman Spring 2011. This line will include lipsticks, eyeshadows, blush and nail polishes ranging in prices from $13-$49.50.

Oh magical comic figure glee! From the age of three to about seven, I thought I was Wonder Woman...I even wore the magical golden wrist bands! (Ok, they were only rubber bands, but in my five-year-old head they were the real things.)

Isn't this the best news ever, Glamazons?! Are you just as excited about this collection as I am?

Target Celebrates East Harlem Launch with Kelly Rowland, Selita Ebanks and...the Target Dog!

Target is heading uptown to Harlem. The launch of the new East Harlem store has come with much fanfare from exclusive designer collections from Stephen Burrows, Isabel and Ruben Toledo (Michelle Obama favorite) and Marcus Samuelsson to a star-studded VIP fete to celebrate the opening.

The latter took place yesterday evening with celebrities like Kelly Rowland, Selita Ebanks, Tyson Beckford, designer Tracy Reese and style maven (and Glamazon favorite) Bevy Smith. Oh and did I mention the official Target dog was there?

Check out the pics:

I love Selita's draped moment. She's gorg!

Tyson Beckford and his straw hat were there.

Tracee Ellis Ross was the picture of summer chic in a green, floral maxidress.

Tracy Reese glowed in one of her own designs.

Uncle Russ came through to support.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Target dog made an appearance on the red carpet. Historic, really.

The party was ultra-glamorous but I'm more excited about the fashion. The designers, Isabel and Ruben Tuledo, Stephen Burrows and Marcus Samuelsson dreamed up vibrant, colorful pieces that capture the spirit of Harlem. What's your verdict on their looks?

Check out some of Stephen Burrows' pieces and Isabel Toledo's swimwear below:

The fab pieces are available at East Harlem Target, 517 East 117 Street, (212) 835-0860 starting July 25th and at other select stores and on www.target.com in limited quantities starting August 1st.

GLAM OR SHAM?: Rihanna's Ruffled Polka-Dot Jumpsuit

In a D&G Pre-Fall 2010 polka dot ruffled jumpsuit, Rihanna made sure all attention was on her at the afterparty for her "Last Girl on Earth" show last night.

She is the latest star to rock polka dots (Amber Rose gave us a spotty, swinged skirt moment last week), and the look is certainly bold, youthful and fun.

As usual, her vibrant red hair sets off the outfit and she accentuated her long legs with a pair of black pumps. Green eyeshadow brought a pop of color to the look (as if it needed any).

What do we think of her outfit? Sure polka dots are charming and playful, but does she look like a fashion icon or a clown?

Glam or a Sham?

If you're a fan of polka dots (like me...in moderation lol), shop some cute looks here:

A Walk Down (Celebrity) Mug Shot Memory Lane...

Now that Lindsay Lohan is in the clinker, I thought it'd be fun to make fun of her mug shot. But, aside from the fact that her lips look a bit plumper than usual, she doesn't look bad at all. In fact, I kind of like that she's giving us attitude in the picture..as if maybe this is all a joke to her. (Which, according to this article on people.com it clearly isn't as she's reportedly been crying her face off.)

So then I thought, why not look at some other fairly famous celeb mug shots and make fun of them instead?!

But, before we start, let's rewind back to 2007 when Lindsay was first arrested. Besides the fact that she looks a twisted mess, her eyebrows are in pretty great shape! Oh, and her hair looks fuller in this picture. I hear that they don't let you wear extensions in jail or prison so I bet she had to take it out before taking the shot above. Did I mention that she was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving and cocaine possession right after she was released from rehab when this photo was taken? Can you see the highness in her eyes?!

And here's the lovely Paris Hilton who was booked last year on June 3 and out by June 7. But, wait! She was ordered to return back to jail (which she did screaming and crying) to serve her 23 day sentence and was finally released on June 26. Nothing to really be said about her looks in this photo; except I couldn't figure out why all of her hair was swept over to the side like that..weird.

And if we talk about Paris, we can't forget about Nicole Richie! Without her long blonde weave, she looks rather non-celeb in this mug shot, wouldn't you say? Although she has two, this is her first one that was taken in December 2006 when she was charged with driving under the influence of drugs. And, before you start thinking "Oh, that's not too bad!" let me point out that she was driving down the road going the wrong way...while high on marijuana and Vicodin.

Is there anyone else that is skeeved out by R.Kelly's mug shot? I mean, I love his music (well, most of it anyways) but he himself always gave me the creeps. Taken in 2002, he was finally found not guilty of having sex with a 14-year-old girl in May 2008. The only word I have for this is just EW.

It's a man! It's a tranny? No, it's Amy Winehouse! Huh? Yes, Glamazons. This tragic burning sizzling hot mess of a mug shot is the singer herself. Now, I love her music (can't get enough of the stuff!) but I just don't agree with her looks...and this is one reason why. Although being arrested is nothing new to her as it's been happening for at least half of her adult life, this one was taken in May 2008 due to suspicion of drug possession. She was caught by a British tabloid on video smoking crack cocaine. Hence the reason she looks like a crack head in this mug shot.

GLAM OR SHAM?: Paul And Joe Launch Lipsticks In The Shape of Kitten Heads?

Yes, Glamazons, you read that title correctly. Paul & Joe Beaute will soon be launching these lipsticks featuring the shape of kitten head on the top. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like cats, but I don't think that I want one staring at me when I'm about to swipe it over my lips. Ew. Plus, if you really use the lipstick, wouldn't that shape last all of 5 minutes? Talk about weird. I'm not a fan of this.

But what do you think about it, Glamazons? Would you ever purchase something like this and actually wear it?

Call The Glambulance: Britney Spears Steps Out With A Huge Patch Of Her Weave Missing

Oh Britney. Sigh. You've done it again.

Just when we think that maybe Britney Spears is really ok and that she's finally in a better (more sane!) spot in life, pictures like these crop up. Apparently, the pop singer was at a Crate and Barrel store in Sherman Oaks, California yesterday when this picture was taken.

I mean, I kind of get it in that I've been in the process of getting extensions done in college and took a break to go get food. However, I'd always put on a scarf or hat so no one would know that I had only half a head full of weave. Apparently, Britney thinks it's OK to walk around with patches of her weave missing. And, the biggest mystery here is why has her real hair not grown anymore than that?! (I'm assuming that those scraggly little darker pieces are her real hair.) She shaved her head in 2008 so she should have a head full of hair by now and not even need to wear the weave. Maybe she's really just as bald as Naomi Campbell? Gasp!

Whatever the case may be, I think the girl still needs help. And no, I will not just "leave Britney alone" because if you're a high profile celebrity (such as she) then this is not ok.

Ah, well, I guess the silver lining on this hot mess of a cloud is that at least she's not locked up in jail like Lindsay Lohan.....
