This is SO damn sad!

The accident apparently occurred in Santa Clarita — outside of Los Angeles — when Paul's car  lost control and crashed into a tree, TMZ reported. The car burst into flames and exploded.

This is so sad. I was just jokingly tweeting about all the Fast & Furious movies a few days...life is so short! 

RIP Paul Walker!

Basketball wives star Evelyn Lozada is pregnant!!

Basketball wives star Evelyn Lozada is pregnant and NOPE the baby daddy is not Chad Ochocinco!

Per TMZ, the 37-year-old reality starlet is six months pregnant!!

Her daughter Shaniece confirmed the news via Instagram with the pic above! Evelyn's friend say she's been seeing a guy for "almost a year now and the relationship has gotten serious,” Hmm who is the mystery guy?

TMZ reports that the pregnancy was planned — it’s not a case of the whoops! And until now only a small number of relatives were privy to the news.

I see she's trying to turn a new leaf! No more Basketball Wives drama hopefully!

Congrats Evelyn!

Look at how TALL the Obama girls are?! Beautiful!

The fashion forward first daughters Sasha and Malia Obama were spotted today with the First Dog Bo getting ready to receive the White House Christmas Tree. Look at how tall they are?!? Wow!

A few days ago Malia Obama, 15 and Sasha Obama, 12 were on hand to help pack and distribute bags of food to needy children and seniors at the Capital Area Food Bank November 27, 2013 in Washington, DC. 

According to the White House, the first family was joined by family and friends and members of The Mission Continues, “an organization of post-9/11 veterans who are awarded community service fellowships.”

And if you're curious about whether or not the Obama will stay in DC after his term over, turns out it may depend on Sasha Fierce. POTUS answered the question during an interview with Barbara Walters of ABC News. The president and first lady Michelle Obama said family factors may dictate whether they remain in the capital city after the presidency.

Daughter Malia will be off to college in 2017, but daughter Sasha will still be in high school.

"Sasha will have a big say in where we are," Obama said, adding that he wants to make sure she is "doing well" in high school.

Beautiful!

Long Walk to Freedom hit US theaters tomm (Nov 29)

Long Walk to Freedom the highly anticipated Nelson Mandela movie hits theaters tomm (Nov 29) in the US! Who's going to see it? I LOVED it! Might pay to see it one more time, it was that brilliant!

Rihanna's hairstylist speaks out about that "infamous" doobie

So my friend Jess recently had the opportunity to interview Rihanna's stylist Ursula Stephen about the "doobie"....the one that Rih debuted at the AMAs. Peep the interview below and find out who's bright idea it was to wear the controversial look!

Her are the highlights from the ELLE.com interview

Whose idea was it for Rihanna to wear a doobie wrap?
It was actually Rihanna's idea. She had her mind made up! Honestly, I was a little hesitant but I knew she could pull it off, so I was all for it.

Did you anticipate the overwhelming reaction?
I knew it would get a reaction but I wasn't sure if it would be positive or negative. A doobie on the red carpet has never been done before so I knew it could have gone either way.

Do you foresee the wrap, worn outside the home/salon, becoming a universal trend?
Sure. I mean, it's already been done. I see girls on the street rocking them all the time shopping, eating, etc. It's just never been seen in a formal setting.

Some interpreted the style to mean Rihanna is nonchalant about her AMAs honor while others felt it was a unique and clever nod to her culture at a time when the world was watching. What statement were you and Rihanna trying to make?

It was a nod to fashion! This is a style that can be worn by some of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood.
The wrap actually has roots in the '30s finger waves hairstyle, and with the embellished pins, it channeled Old Hollywood.

Were the pins a request Rihanna made or your own design decision? What did they bring to the look?
Yes, the '30s were all about [the wrap]! The pins helped to elevate the look from just your average doobie.

There's been quite a bit of backlash from some members of the African-American and Latina community, who feel the wrap should be relegated to the bedroom. How do you respond to that criticism?
Everyone has an opinion. However, the doobie has been worn to Bergdorf Goodman. They just haven't been paying attention. And it's been around since the '30s. Part of my job is to know eras, trends and fashion, and to keep looks alive by adding a modern twist.

You were also behind Rihanna's iconic cut during the 'Good Girl Gone Bad' era. Together, you two consistently step outside the box and experiment with hair. Is it your goal to push the envelope further and further with Rihanna's looks? What groundbreaking style do you want her to try next? 
Of course! As an artist, you can't take yourself too seriously. It's about evolving, having fun, feeling beautiful and letting the look interpret the feeling, mood and the music! I feel like we have done everything. However, there is a mental list of "looks," not styles, that we want to try. More iconic shit is on the list.

BONUS: I met Ursula last week at a party and she was sooooooo nice! Here's our pic!

Whoop! The FAB Amber Riley is the new Dancing With the Stars champ!!!

Go ahead Boo!!!!!!!!

After a 11 grueling weeks of dance-tastic competition on the ABC show my girl Amber Riley and her partner Derek Hough were crowned the champions of the 2013 season of Dancing with the Stars.

I have been rooting for the Glee actress all season,so I can safely say this was well deserved. It came down to three teams on Tuesday night: Amber Riley from Glee, Corbin Bleu from 'High School Musical' and reality TV star Jack Osborne.

The pressure was really on for the finale. The dancers had to perform two dance styles with just 24 hours to rehearse.

The judges loved Amber as much as we did, with one of them calling her "absolutely dazzling."

She told the audience after her win:

"When I first, first started it wasn't necessarily to win anything cause I'm not normally a competitive person but when you put so much hard work in, you start wanting it. For me I always enjoy the experience of you know for them, it's their win. You know really," 

Congrats Amber!! Way to break those barriers!

Lupita Nyong'o, Oprah & more featured on the cover of True Hollywood Reporter's Actresses Roundtable!

My girl Lupita is having the BEST year EVER. Like seriously, girlfriend is everywhere and is not missing a beat in the fashion department. She slays every red carpet and photo shoot that she does...the latest series of the pics is no exception. Lupita Nyong'o was photographed on Nov. 9 with with Amy Adams, Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer, Emma Thompson and Julia Roberts at 5th & Sunset Studios in Los Angeles. Peep the pics and highlights:

The Yale grad says "I grew up in Kenya, and a lot of our programming was from all over the world, and we didn't see ourselves onscreen. It was very rare that you'd see people that look like me. And there was Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah and everything. It's so meaningful to be sitting here beside you," 

Winfrey's memorable advice on her first movie, The Color Purple: "So that night, I was in my motel room, crying. [Actor] Adolph Caesar heard me on the other side of the wall. He comes and knocks on the door, and says, 'What is all of this goddamn noise?' He gave me the greatest acting lesson. He said: 'You need to learn to give yourself over to the character. Let the character take control. And if she wants to cry, she'll cry, and if she doesn't, not even Steven Spielberg can make her"

On how her career changed after she had children: "Well, it certainly decreased a great deal, but I had been working for 18 years when I had Hazel andFinn almost nine years ago. So I felt like I earned that time in my house and in my kitchen and in bed all day with these two little people. I felt that was my present to myself. I was fortunate to work a lot, and I worked hard, and I was very devoted to that, and then I earned this jewel box of a life that I felt completely entitled to. It still is really important, but it has made me take more things into consideration."

"I'm a short, cute, chubby woman," says Spencer about her character on NBC's remake of Murder, She Wrote. "There are fewer and fewer roles that I haven't done already, or archetypes that I haven't played, and to break out of that box, the most interesting stuff is television."

Other actresses featured in the issue:

Amy Adams

Emma Thompson

Michelle Obama shines on the cover of Ladies Home Journal!

How stylish and chic does First Lady Michelle Obama look on the cover of Ladies’ Home Journal! The 49-year-old FLOTUS tells the mag  that she loves celebrating the holidays in the White House with her daughters — and that includes lots of baking! “It’s one of the major activities the girls do when they have friends over. If they are bored and they’ve run out of things to talk about or do, I usually get a request: “Can we go down to the kitchen and make cookies?” And of course, the answer is always yes,” she said.

Ever wondered what music the First Family plays during the holidays. The First Lady spills the deets saying "usually it’s the tree in the Yellow Oval room. We’ll have hot chocolate, light a fire, no matter what the weather is, get out a basket of decorations and then I’ll put on the first holiday music of the season. I have a phenomenal playlist that includes, of course, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” as well as James Taylor, Mariah Carey, Boys II Men and Nat King Cole.”

“Christmas has always been a special time in my household. Growing up, we lived in a little-bitty apartment, but my mom put her heart and soul into decorating that house. She would take cardboard and make a chimney over our radiator because she wanted us to feel like we had something for Santa Claus to come down,” 

Beautiful! They have come a long way from that little bitty apartment Hunty. This gorgeous spread has me ready for the holidays!

Why was NeNe Leakes hospitalized? Deets on her scary prognosis!

This is so scary! 

Real Housewives star NeNe Leakes says she's lucky to be alive after doctors found blood clots on her lung.

She wrote about her trip to the hospital on her blog: "I know my body and I know when I should be concerned," she said. "After some routine tests I was diagnosed with blood clots on my lung. I'm told this happened to me because of the constant traveling around the country that I do for my job." 

Even rich bitches need rest NeNe!

She posted a picture of herself in her hospital bed with her granddaughter Bri'asia, 17 months, admitted she was "thankful to be alive."

"Contrary to reports I did not have a heart attack,I'm thankful to be alive as the doctor advised me that most people don't recognize the symptoms of blood clots and don't go to the doctor and that's when the big problems start happening."

Get well soon NeNe!

Kate Hudson looks radiant in Harper's Bazaar spread!

Actress Kate Hudson is the latest celebrity to cover the December issue of Harper's Bazaar!  

Her spread is just as gorgeous as the cover! 

My favorite is this Robero Cavalli swimsuit 

Stunning right?

Even though Kate Hudson was born into Hollywood royalty - her Mom is Goldie Hawn..the celebspawn had some interesting thoughts on expensive red carpet clothes. She says “people think we own all these dresses. But we borrow them. I can’t afford to buy that stuff. There are certain things I splurge on, but it’s very rare, especially when you have two kids and school tuition. I’m not a big high-end fashion shopper. I wish I could but the truth is things are just so expensive. Before Isabel Marant was a million dollars and famous, I used to go to her store in Paris and go crazy, it was so affordable.”

How refreshing! A star that keeps it real about borrowing clothes..

The 34 year old Mom of 2 looks great!

Lovely!

Thoughts on the high fashion pics!?
