‘VOGUE’ RESPONDS TO KAMALA HARRIS COVER CRITICISM – (01/12/2021)

Vogue has responded to the criticism they’ve received for their recent cover featuring Vice-President elect Kamala Harris, who wore Converse sneakers, with a black blazer. There was an additional cover with Kamala wearing a powder blue suit, which was the digital cover. 

According to Entertainment Tonight, the magazine said in a statement, “The team at ‘Vogue’ loved the images Tyler Mitchell shot and felt the more informal image captured Vice President-elect Harris’s authentic, approachable nature — which we feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden/Harris administration.” They added that they will celebrate both covers digitally.  

Meanwhile, Kamala’s team said in a statement, “In this moment where the country is so divided, where we need serious leaders, the blue and gold shot represents that. That would never have been approved, and Harris’ team is extremely disappointed.”

Meanwhile, Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and current co-host of The Talk spoke on the controversy, saying, “Here’s why the intention didn’t match the impact. There is a larger, cultural context here. Vogue has a history of not representing Black women in the best light, literally and figuratively. So there isn’t an innate trust within this community.” She added, “The problem is, what we’ve come to expect from a Vogue cover when they’re covering a presidential person is regal, elevated, sophistication…I think this was Vogue’s attempt at refreshing, modernizing, staying with the times, but I think Black folks haven’t seen ourselves like this on the cover…And I think a lot of people go, Vogue, they didn’t get it here.”

“Happy to see you back but will miss Kim/Samantha,” one commenter wrote, to which Parker replied, “We will too. We loved her so. X”.

Parker also shot down the rumors of a feud between herself and Cattrall. replying to one fan who said that the 55-year-old actress, who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the series, “disliked” Cattrall. 

“No. I don’t dislike her. I’ve never said that. Never would. Samantha isn’t part of this story. But she will always be part of us. No matter where we are or what we do. X” Parker wrote.

VICTORIA BECKHAM LEFT THE SPICE GIRLS BECAUSE OF ELTON JOHN – (01/12/2021)

Victoria Beckham reflected on her reason for leaving The Spice Girls in a letter to her future self, published in British Vogue on Monday (January 11th). 

She wrote, “Remember years ago, watching your dear friend Elton John on stage in Las Vegas. He performed ‘Tiny Dancer,’ as if it were the first time, and you realized this was like oxygen for him.”

The 46-year-old continued, “It was a life-changing moment—while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion. That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl. For the first time, you were venturing out on your own, and it was terrifying.”

She launched her fashion label in 2008 and her beauty brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty, in 2019.

WHO WILL GET WHAT IF KANYE WEST AND KIM KARDASHIAN GETS A DIVORCE? – (01/11/2021)

If Kim Kardashian does file for divorce from Kanye West, who will get what? According to Page Six, the couple’s financial situation has changed a lot since they married in 2014. Kanye is now worth $1.3 billion and Kim is worth $780 million.  The couple’s prenup guarantees that Kim gets $1 million for every year of marriage. She also gets to keep all of the gifts that Kanye gave her, including her million dollar engagement ring.

It’s unclear if Kim gets to keep includes the “$5 million in art, nearly $4 million in vehicles and $3.2 million in jewelry” that Forbes has reported they own together.

Beverly Hills lawyer Joseph Mannis of Hersh Mannis LLP told the site, “If they haven’t kept things separate, God knows what happens with the accounting issues. That could be a gigantic pain in the neck to figure out what you’re doing.”

As far as custody of their four children,  Aimee Gold, a high-profile family lawyer in Los Angeles, told the site that the courts will likely start with both parents getting “50/50″ physical custody. Gold added that each camp could litigate for more time if they prove that a situation would be “detrimental to the kid,” like if one parent will be away on tour for a year.”

News of Olivia Wilde’s romance with Harry Styles shocked many, but it especially hurt her longtime former fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, Page Six reports. News of Wilde and Sudeikis’ split hit in November; the pair share two children.

But sources tell Page Six that Wilde and Styles got together in October. While reports have claimed that Wilde and Sudeikis broke up in early 2020, others tell Page Six that they broke up after Wilde and Styles got together. 

“Olivia and Jason were having issues, like any other couple, but Jason loves Olivia — he completely adores her, and that’s what makes this so sad. He’s always been committed to making their family work,” the source close to the couple said.

The source added: “People have tried to make out that Harry and Olivia have only been dating for the past few weeks, but that’s not right. Jason found out about Harry and pushed the conversation. Olivia then asked for a separation and news of the split was made public.”

‘VOGUE’ MAGAZINE DRAGGED FOR KAMALA HARRIS COVER – (01/11/2021)

Vogue Magazine was dragged yesterday (January 10th) for what many are calling an extremely underwhelming magazine cover featuring Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. The cover features Kamala in front of a wrinkled up pink backdrop, wearing a black blazer, jeans and converse sneakers. A second cover, which many thought was a more stylish cover, will be release digitally.

People on social media were not shy about how they felt about the cover. One person wrote, “PLEASE DO HER JUSTICE and REDO this cover! Put her in a background that is regal like she is! Your old drape from the CEO’s office is insulting.” Another wrote, “The cover on the left (with the Chuck Ts) had no business being selected or even offered as an option. This speaks volumes of how you view our Madam Vice President.”

A Twitter user by the name of @stilletoroyalty wrote, “Anyone shocked by the poor quality of Kamala’s Vogue cover hasn’t paid attention to Anna Wintour’s bullsh*t w/people of color. It spans decades. Team Kamala should’ve known better. Anyway, enjoy this pic that effortlessly shows her beauty w/o stripping her of her power(suit)😉.”

KAMALA’S TEAM WAS ‘BLINDSIDED’ BY ‘VOGUE’ COVER

Meanwhile, journalist Yashar Ali revealed on Twitter that Kamala’s team was blindsided by the cover, saying, “The February Vogue cover featuring VP-elect Kamala Harris has been widely criticized on social media this evening. But according to a source familiar with the publication plans, this is not the cover that the Vice President-elect’s team expected.”

He continued, “In the cover that they expected, Vice President-elect Harris was wearing a powder blue suit. That was the cover that the Vice President-elect’s team and the Vogue team, including Anna Wintour, mutually agreed upon…which is standard for fashion magazines.” He added, “So folks feel blindsided this evening.”

A source said, “Neither of them want to seem like the loser in this divorce and they both will fight hard for their kids.

Two more Taylor Swift songs made their streaming debut on Thursday (January 7th).

Evermore is Swift’s second album of 2020, following the July release of folklore

She said, [“I’ve never put out an album this quickly in succession after a brand new album, but then again I’ve never had a concept like this come to me before where I wanted to continue exploring even after an album was released. I didn’t want to move on to something else, I just wanted to keep on digging.”]

The singer continued, [“So, evermore is out, Ithink it’s four-and-a-half months after folklore came out, but this is a year where I threw out a lot of rules that I used to have in my head – ‘Oh, you only put out an album once every so often’ – whatever, like I think we need music. I think I want to connect to my fans. This is stuff that I’ve written, and I’m so, so proud of it. So, I figured I’d just put it out.”]
