The uglier side of celebrity is definitely showing its face as we charge into a new year. Just last week, we brought you this story about how police felt the need to caution Kylie Jenner about how much of herself she was revealing on social media due to one very persistent stalker with mental health issues.  Today, it’s apparently Lana Del Rey’s turn. In what might be considered a slight deviation from what we might think of as the “normal” stalker profile (you know, white, male, nerdy…mentally ill), the “Honeymoon” singer-songwriter has been plagued by not one, but two female stalkers. The women, Natalia Krinitsyna and Luliia Vladimirovna, have allegedly been stalking Del Rey so relentlessly that she actually moved house to try to escape the...

Many of us who write for a living have been harping-on about this for a long time, but it appears that life is finally imitating art. The fashion industry, instead of hiring models who are shaped like teenaged boys to show their womenswear, has finally hired an actual teenaged boy for the job. Yes, it appears that none other than actor, writer, self-proclaimed Gallileo (and son of Jada and Will Smith) Jaden Smith will be the new face of Louis Vuitton womenswear. And no, I’m not even going to address how on his official Instagram account, Smith appears to go by the name “ChristiainGrey”, no doubt a Fifty Shades reference – because why not model your alter ego after one of the most poorly-written (although admittedly successful) novels of the last decade. It was hard...

It is with a sad heart that we announce that legendary singer and multi-Grammy winner Natalie Cole has passed away – she was 65 years old. The singer had recently been forced to cancel many of her shows due to her ill health. Cole suffered form Hepatitis C, and had recently been experiencing complications from a kidney transplant that she had undergone in May of 2009. Cole had fought long and hard with her health issues, but sadly succumbed to heart failure at Cedars-Sinai medical Center in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Cole, who was the daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, found her first big success with her 1991 album “Unforgettable…With Love”. The album featured some of her father’s hit songs, with the most popular being the title track, in which her...

Earlier this week, police reportedly got in contact with Kylie Jenner in an attempt to try to encourage her to rein-in her social media presence a bit. While seeing less of Jenner on social media sites like Instagram and Twitter is certainly a point on which we can probably all agree, the reasons behind their decision to contact the star are a far cry from the usual flood of annoying vapid duck-lipped selfies and shameless brand endorsements.  As it turns out, the LAPD have some very legitimate concerns for the young celebutante’s safety. Not unlike many celebrities who are a constant fixture in the public eye, Jenner has had to deal with stalkers. However, it was one stalker in particular who worried the authorities enough to want Jenner to take some preventative action. The man in...
