Fashion at the Met Costume Institute Gala

Stars of film, fashion, television and music were at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Costume Institute Gala last night which honoured the late, great, Alexander McQueen.

Naomi Campbell (who's made it onto a few worst dressed lists) said of him: ‘He was a very sensitive, very instinctive and intuitive person - private and a very affectionate and lovely man. He was a monstrous talent.’

Celebrity attendees included SJP, Gisele, Rihanna, Jessica Alba and Beyonce and Jay-Z who were booed by photographers for failing to stop for extra pictures!

We’re more interested in who did stop!
















Jennifer Lopez in Gucci. The colour looks gorgeous on her. The shoulders take the floral trend to a new level!
































Rihanna in Stella McCartney. As usual she shows a lot without showing a lot. Not sure about The Little Mermaid inspired hair.























Beyonce is curvy perfection in Emilio Pucci. It looks really tight - how did she walk? Or breathe? The things we do for fashion! Feeling Jay's lo 'fro.




























Tamara Mellon, Thandie Newton (who never looks bad) in Stella McCartney with Freida Pinto in Chanel.




















Kerry Washington in Escada. Gorgeous dress and we love the 80's inspired hair.


























Solange in Dries Van Noten. Umm...we like her hair. That's it.

































A very serious Ciara in Prabal Gurung. Beautiful, beautiful dress.































Alicia Keys in Givenchy. Too much brown drowns her and the jacket brings the dress down.































Eva Mendes smoulders in Stella McCartney. This lady certainly knows how to work a red carpet.
































Rashida Jones underwhelms in Stella McCartney. It's not a bad dress, it just doesn't have much wow for an occasion as wow worthy as this.


























Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein. Simple and elegant and love the easy waves in her hair.






























Janelle Monae in The House of Chanel. We're getting a bit bored of this look now.































Iman in Stella McCartney. She looks stunning but we don't recommend matching your outfit with your hair.



























Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang with Vera Wang. It's a little bridesmaid'y.































John Legend and Christine Teigen. A little too 'showgirl' for us but fitting for an event like this we suppose.





























Nicole Ritchie in Jason Wu. Very 'old Hollywood'.
































Joan Smalls in Tom Ford looks supermodel perfect.































Serena Williams in Oscar de la Renta. Could have worked sans the hat.

Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Into You" Video Is Putting Me To Sleep

The premiere of Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Into You" video went down on the Today Show this morning, and now that we're all privy to the full clip, it feels like a total non-event.

Yes, J.Lo is beautiful. Yes, the visuals are beautiful. Yes, my cat is beautiful. Yes, I'm going to take a nap now.



P.S. Where the hell is Lil Wayne? He shot scenes for this snoozefest, no?

Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Into You" Video Preview: Why Doesn't This Song Suck More?

I think that even if some itchy-fingered fucker put a Luger up to my temple I probably wouldn't admit to having a slight like for Jennifer Lopez's new single "I'm Into You." But at any rate, below is 18 seconds of the song's upcoming music video (full thing out May 2).

It features Cuban actor William Levy, who's thankfully got less clothes on than J.Lo.



See what I mean? Not bad. Shhhh.

U.K. Singles Chart: Britney Spears Tanks With 'Femme Fatale'

Let's forget the fact the Jennifer Lopez's "On The Floor" has debuted at #1 in the UK, thus giving the American Idol judge her first chart-topper across the pond in six years—because Britney Spears' Femme Fatale has completely flopped in its first week on the chart in Old Blighty.

Wigney's seventh studio album bombed its way in #8 in the UK. Even Christina Aguilera's massive flopzilla of an album Bionic debuted at #1 there last year. And it's really not that surprising, given that Femme Fatale's lead singles "Hold It Against Me" and "Till The World Ends" charted at a disappointing #6 and #21, respectively.

Meanwhile, Adele has racked up a 10th week at the top of the chart in her home country with 21, giving her the longest stretch at #1 in the UK since Dire Straits achieved the same feat in 1986 with Brothers In Arms.

Oh, well. At least Britney can be happy that her album is #1 in Australia—a first for her.

The UK Top 10:

1. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull *new* *1 week*
2. "Someone Like You" - Adele
3. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO
4. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
5. "Don't Hold Your Breath" - Nicole Scherzinger
6. "Black And Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa

Jennifer Lopez's New Single "I'm Into You" Doesn't Exactly Suck, Either

First Jennifer Lopez's surprise comeback hit "On The Floor" didn't suck (though, don't get me started on the video). And then that "Invading My Mind" song Lady Gaga and RedOne generously worked on together for the American Idol judge showed even more promise with regards to J.Lo's upcoming Love? album.

And now we have "I'm Into You," which, despite the lyrically uninspired rap from Lil Wayne, somehow doesn't exactly make me want to force a rusty railroad tie into the front of my skull either.

Below is the official 30-second tease of the song. I'd post the full thing, but it's been getting yanked down left and right all day.



"I'm Into You" will be tossed onto iTunes next week (April 5). A press release issued today notes that Love? (out May 3) features production work by RedOne, Stargate, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Danja, D-Mile and Radio.

In addition to "Invading My Mind, Lady Gaga co-wrote the song "Hypnotico" for the album.

Listen To "Invading My Mind," Jennifer Lopez's Collab With RedOne And Lady Gaga

I have to admit, now that J.Lo has been washed up for about the past seven years, I'm actually liking her a lot better. She's a surprisingly able and tolerable judge on American Idol, her vapid dance hit "On The Floor" isn't as mind-numbingly annoying as some of her past hits and "Invading My Mind," her new collaboration with Lady Gaga and RedOne, is kind of a jam.

Who knew Her Thin-Voiceness could turn out something this semi-hot? This is apparently one of two songs Gaga and RedOne worked on together for Lopez's upcoming album Love?

It's Jennifer Lopez's "On The Floor" Video

What more can I add to the Jennifer Lopez "On The Floor" dialogue than was already said yesterday, when I recounted the epic myth of her evil menace? Not much. So just sit there and suffer through her insanely boring video for the song—which has now jumped to #2 on iTunes.

U.S. Chart Roundup: The Epic Story Of Why There Is An Evil Force Called Jennifer Lopez

Pop Kyds, there once was a dark and loathsome time, many, many moons ago, when Jennifer Lopez employed her tenuous voice to chirp out flimsy tunes that would fly to the upper reaches of the chart—garbage like "Jenny From The Block," "Love Don't Cost A Thing" and "I'm Real." On occasion some rent-a-rapper was Scotch-taped onto the trash to make J.Lo's treacle more attractive to the chyldryn.

But in the year of our Pop Lord 2000 and 5, a giant flapping bird named Mimi and a horrendous vulture called Madge—both of whom had been exiled to the Island Of Flop Divas for a spell—returned home. Mimi tended to her nest, bumping all the other whores who dared sit in it while she was gone over the edge, to plummet to their death. Madge picked at their flesh with her evil beak, desperately searching for any usable scraps with which she could fashion something fancy for herself.

And this is what happened to J.Lo...


While she floundered in Hell, she occasionally dragged others' careers into the gutter with her—Jane Fonda here, Marc Anthony there. As for Matthew McConaughey, well, he was already in Hell, chyldryn.

But something happened—some calamitous collision of forces and alignment of dark stars—and The Lopez was ironically granted a position by which she could now judge the talent of others on a television show called Republican Network Singing Kids You Vote For To Make The Bland Shit You Are Too Cheap To Buy Anyway.

Eventually, Lady Gaga dispatched her most powerful warrior RedOne to breathe new life into The Lopez, so that she could have someone awful to stand next to on the Planet Of Pop, someone to make Gaga herself look better by comparison.

And that, Chyldryn, is how "On The Floor" debuted at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and became her first Top 10 hit in eight years. Resist, if you must. But Fate is undeniable.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga *3 weeks*
2. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
3. "Grenade" - Bruno Mars 
4. "Fuckin' Perfect" - Pink
5. "S&M" - Rihanna
6. "Firework" - Katy Perry
7. "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)" - Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris & DJ Frank E
8. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
9. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull *new*
10. "I Need A Doctor" - Dr. Dre feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey

Moving on, Rihanna must have friends in high places as she arrived in a John Paul Gaultier gown that was only on the catwalks of Paris last month! Nice. We also much prefer her new sleek hairstyle over the Sideshow Bob creation she had been sporting.
