Celebrities’ Punk Rock Selfies From Last Night’s Met Gala

By Chloe Pantazi on

Selfies aren’t just for the layfolk. Even celebrities take them now and again, and last night’s extravagant, punk-themed Met Gala — corresponding with the museum’s latest Costume Institute exhibit, Punk: Chaos to Couture — was an opportune time for the glitterati to take to social media with pictures of their dresses, hairdos, nails, and other accessories (including friends and other fabulous people). We scoured Instagram and Twitter to bring you the best of last night’s selfies. Take a peek through the images below, including a sufficiently punked-up Madonna sporting tartan and rocking a black bob, a very pink Debbie Harry, Katy Perry’s bling-tastic nails, and Zooey Deschanel’s pretty (if questionably punk) hairdo. Oh and, erm, Alicia Keys in a bathrobe. … Read More

By Emily Temple on

Just what is it about “Call Me Maybe”? In a trend that shows no sign of stopping, Carly Rae Jepsen’s sugary sweet hit has spawned hundreds of tribute videos, lip dubs, parodies and covers across the web, created by celebrities and civilians like, and with as much variation in quality as you might expect. But just when we thought we couldn’t watch even one more version, we saw an adorable, pared-down version of Jepsen singing the hit backstage at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with Jimmy and the Roots accompanying her on toy instruments. Here we go again. In order to keep everyone else from burning out, we’ve collected the most worthwhile “Call Me Maybe” tribute videos below.

Celebrities are always dyeing their tresses one color or another. The normal ones usually keep it to colors that are found in nature on human heads, but then there are those other ones, who like to spice it up a bit.

What Celebrity’s Memoir Would You Like to Read?

There’s nothing juicier than a celebrity memoir. And according to this article in New Statesman, the genre is a big part of what has been keeping the UK’s publishing industry alive while everyone holds their breath for the next Dan Brown book. But here’s what I find interesting: a quick look at some of the buzziest celeb tell-alls last year in the US (Chris Ciccone’s Life With My Sister Madonna; Valerie Bertinelli’s Losing It; George Hamilton’s Don’t Mind If I Do; Tori Spelling’s sTori Telling; Kirk Cameron’s Still Growing) suggests that this kind of book doesn’t have the same clout Stateside — unless you factor in Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father, which didn’t come out last year, but certainly became increasingly relevant. … Read More
