Comments

Rihanna debuted a new tattoo on Twitter yesterday and it’s, well, interesting. In an apparent homage to 2Pac, she now has “Thug Life” across her knuckles in pale-pink ink. First thought: we’re really into her her pale-pink pointy nails! Second thought: the red lipstick she’s wearing is also pretty! (Can you tell we’re trying to distract ourselves from really taking in the fact that Rihanna—with her millions of dollars and many mansions—wants to play like she’s a thug?) Anyway, she’s not interested in what anyone else thinks, telling one fan who called her on it to “shut up” and then proclaiming she was “#overit.” Read more »

Lady Gaga is a powerful force in both fashion and music–one that Black Book says could take on Anna Wintour in numbers alone—while the “Bad Romance” video has 30 million hits on YouTube, an issue of Vogue has a circulation of about 1.2 million copies. Racked’s recent reader’s choice poll of the best Photoshopped image of Gaga suggests the public’s obsession with her bizarre everything is here to stay. By the way, the Mona Lisa Gaga won with 44% of the vote. [Racked, Blackbook]

Marc Jacobs is rumoured to have a reality show in the works for gay network Logo. The show would play like a gay version of The Real Housewives, centred around Jacobs’ life at home and in the office and starring other “high-powered (openly gay) playboys.” Please, please, please let this be true.

The Hills, in pastels

There is something of the Mona Lisa in Lauren Conrad’s signature half-smile, hovering between certain boredom and smug knowingness. We’d just never realized it until last week, when we heard that The Hills are alive again, and in portraiture? No kidding: Karin Bubaš (karinbubas.ca), a Vancouver artist known for photographic work, has created a whole series of drawings of TV’s favourite California girls—mascara running, collagen lips trembling, looks killing from across da club.

After starting Canada’s Next Top Model as the not-Heather blonde with braces, Winnipeg’s Meaghan Waller came into her own during a round of New York go-sees and made it quickly to the top. The very top. We chat with the Cycle 3 winner about her favourite moments and future plans.

What have you been up to since filming ended?
“I’ve actually gone back to my life, gone back to my friends, gone back to work. I’m trying to play it low key because going out is pretty hard.”

You must get recognized a lot. What’s the reaction been?
“Almost all of it has been very, very positive. Everyone in Winnipeg has been so supportive.”

Have you been able to tell anyone yet?
“Nope. My parents are having a big party tonight at their house.”

Have you been watching the show?
“I think it’s really awkward to see myself on TV. I don’t watch it unless my parents force me to come over. They always have my friends over every Tuesday. I’d go over and give them some behind the scenes.” Read more »

After breaking down in tears at the sight of her picture, Nikita Kiceluk’s drifting confidence was enough for the judges to lose faith in her too.

Which part of this experience was the most fun? Which was the most stressful?
“The most stressful would definitely be the long hours. It just plays on you like crazy and you’re so tired all of the time. It’s probably the most stressful, aside from eliminations because oh man, I could pull my hair out at those things. Read more »
