Who knows makeup better than a man?

Uhhh…

Well, Nigel Barker better hope that's true or else he's in for a huge wakeup call. The former America's Next Top Model judge is going from snapping pics to glossing lips as he plans to launch TWO makeup lines next year!

Ummm, this is going to be so beyond ridic, riiight??

We've all seen Effie Trinket's insane makeup style in the first Hunger Games movie, and admit it, you've tried to copy it!

Blakey recently signed the Giving Pledge, which states that she’ll give 50% her money to philanthropic causes. She stated:

Selena Gomez isn't taking this one lying down!

In her newly filed countersuit, Selena's lawyers say

Lil' Kim sued for being a diva?

Get outta town!

The rapper has been slapped with a lawsuit by her former business manager, Andrew Ro, who claims his company, International Rock Star Corp, lost around $15 million after she backed out on a plethora of endorsement deals that included a clothing line, a shoe collection with Steve Madden, a fragrance, and a honey maker.
