Is Mariah Carey Getting Too Old for the Sexy Teenager Stick? Judge for Yourself

Come on, Mariah Carey, we know you love rainbows and butterflies and all that other girlie stuff, but aren’t you getting a little long in the tooth to carry on this teenaged charade?
The 41-year-old “Dream Lover” singer has debuted the new ad for her latest Elizabeth Arden perfume, and it’s a odd one. Mariah, in a lace-trimmed tank top, is sucking on a hot pink lollipop to hype the fragrance, not-so-coincidentally  called Lollipop Splash the Remix.
Why the remix?

Because the first one was called Lollipop Bling. That one was dreamed up by the singer after Nick Cannon proposed to her by hiding a 17-carat diamond ring in a Ring Pop wrapper.
Mariah’s new scent is described as having hints of raspberry, jasmine, orange and mango aromas and the bottle is topped with her signature butterfly.
All you need to supply is the come-hither look.

Shenae Grimes Talks Teen Vogue Internship and…Leaving Showbiz?

Shenae Grimes is pulling a Lauren Conrad.
No, she isn’t doing an MTV reality series, but she is toiling as an intern at Teen Vogue this summer, just like L.C. did back in the day.
“It’s going really well. I’ve been there a week so far, but I’ve gotten to do a little bit of everything already,” Shenae told me Sunday night at the Axe Lounge in Southampton, N.Y.
So why exactly would the 90210 starlet decide to intern at a magazine…and is she planning to ditch the starry showbiz world for the fashion industry?

Scarlett Johansson Channels Hollywood Idols for Eye-Popping Photo Shoot

Scarlett Johansson has never been afraid to tackle diverse roles. From Ghost World to Match Point and even Iron Man 2, she’s shown she can pull off a wide array of characters.
But now Scarlett’s taking it even further and transforming her look for a photo shoot with W magazine.
Check it out…
We barely recognized her!
During a 14-hour shoot reportedly dreamed up over a champagne-filled dinner in France, ScarJo got in front of photographer Tim Walker‘s lens and lost herself in a series channeling some of Hollywood’s biggest icons.
She starts off with a classic Marlene Dietrich pose (above) before trading those pencil-thin eyebrows in a for a trumpet and face paint to rock her finest Giulietta Masina. And consider us surprised to see that Scar can nail one solid Buster Keaton when outfitted with a pinstripe suit and a straw hat. But the real fashion denouement comes with an homage to French actress Sarah Bernhardt.

Jessica & Ashlee Simpson New Tween Fashion Line: Is It Any Good?

Talk about a sister act!
Jessica Simpson is expanding her $ 1 billion fashion empire with a tween clothing line that’s set to launch the end of this year. And little sis Ashlee Simpson is getting in on the fashion action, too.
How will Ash be involved?

The erstwhile Melrose Place star is cocreative director of the line—aimed at trendy 7- to 16-year-olds—alongside her big sister, reports Women’s Wear Daily.
“I’m excited to bring my sister…to this division,” Jess tells WWD, “because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today’s tweens.”
And Ash chimed in, “My goal…will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion.”
Check out some of the Simpson sisters’ leggings, tees and faux fur vests from the collection below (no Daisy Dukes or bowler hats in sight, whew!) and tell us, would you buy these for the little sister/niece/daughter in your life?

Kim Kardashian and Fiancé(!) Kris Humphries Make Grand Debut in Monte Carlo

Kim Kardashian is already looking the part of the blushing bride!
The E! star was radiant in white Friday as she and fiancé Kris Humphries attended the Amber Fashion Show at the Meridien Beach Plaza hotel in Monte Carlo, just one of the annual soirees held in conjunction with the Monaco Grand Prix.
This was their first public appearance together as an Engaged Couple—and a particularly striking one, at that, with Kris proving that he cleans up awfully nice off the basketball court.

Bitch Stole My Look: Jennifer Lopez vs. Salma Hayek

Someone’s been sprinkling a little extra Miracle-Gro on this floral shrug.
Jennifer Lopez was the first to plant this Gucci bolero on her shoulders at the 2011 Met Costume Institute Gala atop a sweeping key-hole gown.
Salma Hayek followed her lead a week later, wearing this fall foliage version to the Puss in Boots photocall in Cannes with a burnt orange leather dress.
(In Hayek’s defense, she’s not just being a red carpet copycat. The actress is also supporting hubby’s company since he owns Gucci.)
So what do you think? Are you digging Jenny’s high-drama interpretation or do you prefer Salma’s autumn-inspired look? Weigh in below!

Naomi Campbell Dissed by Chocolate Ad, Pulls Race Card

Naomi Campbell is looking for a piece of Cadbury chocolate.
The company is the latest target of the feisty supermodel’s anger following a new ad campaign, which features a chocolate Dairy Milk Bliss Bar resting on a pile of diamonds with the text: “Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town.”
Campbell seems to think that likening her to chocolate is outright racism.

Everybody’s favorite cellphone-tossing supermodel said in a statement that she is considering “every option available” in her fight against Cadbury, which is owned by Kraft, after the company refused to yank the ad that ran last week in newspapers across the U.K.
“I am shocked,” Campbell said. “It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people as a race. I do not find any humor in this. It’s insulting and hurtful.”
Campbell’s mother even joined the battle, calling the ad an insult to black people and saying, “Shame on Cadbury.”
The campaign group Operation Black Vote backed the supermodel in her anger over the ad, calling for the company to apologize, as well as encouraging a boycott of the company’s chocolate.
A rep for Cadbury told CNN the campaign a “light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss,” adding that the company has no plans to repeat the campaign in the future.
