you'll never guess who nabbed the top-earning female in prime-time title (as compiled by forbes magazine) it's model turned TV queen tyra banks - who raked in a whopping $30 million bucks! (between june '08 and june '09) the money of course came from her highly successful daytime talk show and america's next top model - plus she made some extra dough for playing producer on true beauty and stylista! (coming in 2nd is grey's anatomy star katherine heigl with $18 million) below is ms. banks on a photo shoot earlier today in NYC - of course girlfriend was smizing all over the place (it's the sacred tyra practice of 'smiling with your eyes') i think she wants to trademark the term smize! although she can start to get on my nerves - overall i do like tyra - she's definitely totally over the top & super campy - two things i can't help but take to! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
good evening! for some damn reason i have that stupid ass song tardy for the party stuck in my head - ever since i heard it last week on the real housewives of atlanta - it's wig-loving kim zolciak's attempt at trying to become a one-hit wonder - and she might have actually succeeded since i literally can't stop hearing the stupid chorus don't be tardy for the party over and over again! (have a listen below yet be warned - it might literally drive you insane!) the track got me thinking about who would never be tardy for the party and i immediately thought of party animal & super model kate moss - she probably shows up early to parties because we all know how she likes to get down (ms. moss must be a total blast to get crazy with) girlfriend was out & about in london last night with her (sometimes sexy) boyfriend jamie hince hitting up a couple of fancy soirees - she finally called it a night around 2am - i seriously don't know how she does it - her celebratory stamina is something to behold! (and let's not forget - she's a mom too!) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
PS i hate to say this but kim zolciak needs her very own show ... even though she's totally tacky and wacky - i'm hugely entertained by her - she's like the ultimate reality train wreck! that scene last week when she was all injured - smoking her cigarette - jamming to her lame single - i was all 'oh my word!'
good evening! to celebrate the arrival of london's fashion week - wax figures of tyra banks and kate moss which reside at madame tussauds got mini-makeovers (i'm not sure what they looked like before) no botox was necessary here - probably just a bit of touching up their paint and i bet those are new outfits they're wearing! i wouldn't say these are the worst wax figures ever - but they're not that great - tyra looks a little bit like vanessa williams and ms. moss looks way too innocent - we all know she's a wild child! yet i do hold a special place in my heart for kate - we happen to share the same birthday - capricorns totally rock! as for ms. banks - somehow i got sucked into the latest season (#13) of america's next top model - it's a total guilty pleasure - all those small girls are a bit crazy - you guys know i can never keep my eyes off a train wreck! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
PS doesn't tyra look a little pissed off in the picture below? she's so not smiling with her eyes!
good evening! last month i introduced you guys to dannii minogue's hot boyfriend kris smith in my just because he's cute column - and just today i ran across these pictures of him hitting the runway down under in sydney, australia - of course girlfriend was there to cheer him on - i'd be glowing from head to toe too if he were my boyfriend - excuse the language - but he's fucking super hot!
anyways on a whole different and personal note - the past twenty-four hours were drama filled (again) sadly my elderly neighbor passed away last night (he was 76) and my boyfriend and i had to help his lovely wife deal with the police and the coroner - i really don't handle those types of situations well at all - so i decided to still go and see tracy chapman (she put on an amazing show) god bless my sweet boyfriend ivan for being able to deal with the very sad situation - i was so damn proud of him - he was really strong and supportive! (he actually had to check his body for a pulse)
as for me - i thought i was going to pass out - when i was on the phone with 911 - i told them i felt faint - not good times! (many thanks to all my twitter friends for their kind words and support) right now my neighbor is doing as well as can be expected - they were married for 33 years - and sadly they don't have any family or friends here in los angeles - i'm glad we were able to help out during an intense time - i'm still a little spaced out and way tired ... the whole incident totally threw me for a loop - thank heavens tomorrow is friday! i seriously need this weekend to recharge and relax! popbytes over & out for tonight - much love to all - as always! xoxo
good evening y'all! over in NYC tyra banks was filming her guest appearance for the upcoming third season of gossip girl - i'm not sure if she's playing herself but she's definitely playing the role of 'serious sally' - her outfit is so overly dramatic (except for her shoes - what's up with them?!?) she looks like a glamorous grim reaper ready to snatch the souls of 'blair waldorf' and 'chuck bass' - those two better watch out! even though i didn't enjoy the second season as much as i did the first one - i'll definitely be tuning in come this september to see what's in store for the GG gang this time around! although i'm not really happy about hilary duff making an appearance - i don't mind her but if i never saw or heard about her again - i wouldn't even realize! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning & happy friday! we all know tyra banks is the lady of 1,000 expressions and yesterday during a photo shoot in NYC - she was talking with some people and put on her look of extreme shock & awe - her eyeballs look like they're about ready to jump ship! i'd love to know what she was so damn expressive over - you know that's totally her 'O' face! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! i don't know about you - but i'm still dying to know what bridget moynahanreally thinks about supermodel gisele bündchen - as you may recall bridget was pregnant with footballer tom brady's baby when he broke up with her and it wasn't long at all before he was all shacked up with ms. bündchen - who is now married to mr. brady - plus she's pregnant with his 2nd child! i'm sure bridget puts on friendly appearances for the sake of her son but i know she probably can't stand gisele! especially when she sees her looking all super sexy ... just check out the new campaign for london fog that was shot after her pregnancy was announced - i've never been a huge fan of her look but oh my gosh - she looks gorgeous in the shots below - girlfriend totally has her glow on! this will probably be one of the last campaigns we see her in for awhile but i bet once she has her baby she'll be able to drop the mommy weight really quickly and get right back to work! (she turns 30 this summer - girlfriend still has a couple of modeling years left) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
"Nobody is sexier or more beautiful than Gisele Bündchen in nothing but a London Fog trench coat, even with her visible baby bump," said Dari Marder, Chief Marketing Officer of London Fog. "This London Fog campaign features a classic portrait of Gisele in an iconic London Fog trench; it is a very fitting image for this timeless brand." Marder added, "Although Gisele was photographed while pregnant, most of the shots have been retouched to respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life."
hey hey! i'm heading out again tonight (last night's fritz helder & the phantoms show was awesome ... they'll be featured on popbytes soon) for the opening night of spamalot at downtown los angeles' ahmanson theatre - now i will be the first to admit i'm not a huge fan of monty python humor but i've heard really great things about the show - plus it's a musical ... you guys know me by now ... i can never pass one of those up! but before i leave - i had to post these pictures of halle berry's super hot baby daddy gabriel aubry - the couple was vacationing down in south beach - hanging out with their adorable little girl nahla ariela (who just turned one-year-old back in march) mr. aubry's body is simply to die for - he's definitely giving cutie david beckham a run for his money ... just check out all the hot shirtless pictures below! popbytes over & out tonight ... xoxo
hey everyone! here's a first look at the brand new barbie doll - made in the likeness of german supermodel heidi klum - which will be available in stores this coming september - i'm loving that sequined dress! (the new doll is part of barbie's blonde ambition collection ... celebrating iconic blondes in both fashion and entertainment) even while being pregnant with her fourth child - ms. klum has been quite involved with the whole project and was even on hand recently to help style barbie (pictured below) for her very first photo shoot as ms. klum - i bet she also gave her a couple of tips on how to work the runway! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning! i came across this picture of supermodel kate moss being carried onto an airplane ... i immediately thought ... oh no - kate must have got her party on and can't even stand up - but then i found out what was really going on ... find out for yourself after the jump!
