 photo ScreenShot2013-04-25at122214PM.png

Cassie chatted with FOREVER 21 behind the scenes of her recent ad campaign where she dished on her style icon, who she’d like to collaborate with and why she cut her hair to begn with.  And we probably won’t see her going back any time soon See her "10 questions" inside…..

 photo Cassie-Interview-Polaroids-21.jpg

While posing for the "FOREVER LA" Forever 21 campaign, RockAByeBaby artist Cassie answered 10 questions about a range of topics including what she loves about LA and what fashion means to her.  Oh, and that hair cut she’s holding on to for dear life.  We’ve got a few below:

What five words pop into my head when I think of LA

Sunshine, palm trees, ocean, studio, and… Disneyland!

What did you enjoy about the FOREVER LA Shoot

I knew I was going to get partially in the water, but I didn’t know how much. I was actually submerged in it! What made me feel really good though was that everybody got in the water. Everybody was soaking wet head to toe. I felt like we all came together.

What was your favorite outfit at the shoot

I really liked the look where I was on the bike that reminded me of Mr. Cartoon and I had the lace veil. That was a really cool look!

What was your most memorable F21 shopping trip

I had the best Forever 21 shopping experience when I was in New York and me and my best friends went crazy. It’s a best friend store! I think we bought a lot of the same clothes: t-shirts and print leggings.

Who are you Style influences

The music industry has definitely influenced my style. I’ve taken more chances. Be it my hair or how baggy I want to wear my pants, I’m inspired by so many other artists and people. So when I see something I like, I like to try it in my own way.

Who do you want to work with

Collab I’m dying to do…I LOVE Lana Del Rey! I love the way she writes and her swag.

Who is your Style icon

Kate Moss. She’s just so effortless.

Why did you shave your head

I had long, big curly hair for so many years and I just wanted to try something different. I actually didn’t have the intentions of shaving so much hair but when I went there I wanted to go all the way and kind of land in punk. The next day I woke up and I was like “OMG, what did I do?!” but slowly over the next few weeks got more comfortable in it. Your hair doesn’t define you. Wear your hair how you feel.

ALTER EGO: First Look At Jamie Foxx’s “Nerdy” Side Of His Electro Role In “Amazing Spiderman 2″

 photo JamieFoxxseensetAmazingSpiderman2WestV5rI7PJg0vpl_zpsfc7fcefa.jpg

Jamie Foxx‘s Amazing Spiderman 2 hair and makeup team is wrong for this.  Check out Electro’s nerdy alter ego on set for the first time inside…

Look, we get Electro’s alter ego is a nerdy electrical engineer and lineman.  But did his tacked on thinning hair need to be all waved over looking like they couldn’t decide between finger waves and a comb over?

Oh wells.  We’ve got a YBF actor in the major role of a villain this time around, so we’ll take what we can get.

In the words of Tamar Braxton, They Tried It with this hair and makeup.  But anywho, here’s the story behind his character, whose alter’s name is Maxwell Dillon for you non comic buffs.  According to the ever so informative (when it’s correct) Wikipedia:

While he was repairing a power line, a freak lightning accident caused a mutagenic change that transformed him into a living electrical capacitor. His powers were initially weak, so he spent some time stealing electrical equipment from Stark Industries to charge himself. During this time, he was approached by Magneto, who considered him a potential recruit for his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, claiming that Dillon’s power rivaled his own, but Dillon refused. The following day, Dillon was confronted by a small-time thug from whom he had been borrowing money to pay for the machinery he had needed. When the thug drew a gun on him because he had not paid back the money yet, he responded by shooting a blast of lightning through the thug’s chest- the first time Dillon ever killed anybody.  Soon taking the name Electro, he turned to a life of a professional criminal.

Can’t wait!

FIRST LOOK: Jamie Foxx GETS SCARY & Suits Up As ELECTRO For “Amazing Spider-Man 2″

 photo spj1.jpg

Onlookers got their first glimpse of Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx in his new role as the villain of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 yesterday.  Find out who he’ll be playing inside….

 photo spj2.jpg

Yesterday, comic book fans in Times Square got their first look at Jamie Foxx in his upcoming role as the villain in the next Spider Man film.  In the Mark Webb-directed action flick, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Jamie will star as Maxwell Dillion alongside Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Jamie’s character is an electrician who gets struck by lightening and develops the ability to control electricity.  As a result of the "shock", he emerges as the super villain Electro.

When asked how he developed the character, he said, ‘I’m going to keep it close to the chest but I followed the Spider-Man comic books. He added, "And I would watch the television show growing up. It’s a blessing."

And while Jamie’s gearing up to play a villain on the big screen, he discovered that the internet is full of "villains" as he was viciously attacked on Twitter for wearing a T-shirt paying tribute to Trayvon Martin & the Sandy Hook school shooting victims to the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.  Unnecessary and sad.

So far, Jamie hasn’t addressed the slew of racial insults sent his way, but he did tell MTV, ‘We’re just thinking about the children… we’re just protecting our kids.’

See more pics of Jamie as "Electro" below:

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: Reginae Carter & Bria Williams’ “PAPARAZZI PRINCESSES” Promo Shoot

 photo papgirls1_zps678dcc19.jpg

The 14-year-old daughters of Cash Money Records co-founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams aka "Baby" and Lil Wayne are adding their 2 cents to the family empire.  We’ve got Bria Williams and Reginae Carter‘s first official photoshoot for their brand new book under Cash Money Content…

 

The Instagram loving young & fun pre-teens have teamed up to pen a fictitious narrative of the adventures of two teen girls, called Paparazzi Princesses.  The youngins took their own experiences of the perks and disadvantages of growing up in spotlight, then wrote a book about it all.  But under fictitious names. It seems tobe the Cash Money Content theme as Evelyn Lozada did something similar with her "fictional" novel under the publshing company.

And since the girls have probably seen a lot of what goes on behind the curtain–especially with Reginae’s mom Toya Wright starring in two reality shows–the novel is being written from a "fictional" standpoint.  Likely to protect the real life people involved.

Here’s the synopsis: 

Instead of relying on Instagram and Twitter as most of their peers do, their story is told in their new novel "Paparazzi Princesses" through the characters of Kyla Jones and Promise Walker. On their journey to becoming their own women, the novel’s main characters face their parent’s high expectations, the pitfalls of being "unintentionally famous," and, most crucially, the trials and tribulations of high school, homework, crushes, and friendship that everyone goes through. A collaboration with author Karyn Langhorne Folan, it’s bound to be a page-turner for teens and young adults everywhere.

 

Now check out their cute princess themed photoshoot:

Lil Wayne said about his baby girl’s first book, "I’ve got to be honest. It’s inspiring to see what these girls have done. It wasn’t easy, and they did it all by themselves. ‘Proud’ doesn’t even begin to describe how me and the ‘Birdman’ feel. I can’t wait for everybody else to experience their story."

Birdman said about his little princesses, "There’s no better feeling than watching Bria and Reginae make this dream come true. They took an idea, worked extremely hard, and brought it to life. It’s the kind of story that everybody can feel, and it’s only the start of much bigger things for these two wonderful young ladies."

Paparazzi Princesses comes out June 4th.  Gotta love the youngins.

VIDEOS: First Look At Gabby Union’s “Being Mary Jane” + Miguel’s “Candles In The Sun” Video

 photo Being-Mary-Jane-Gabrielle-Union_zps1a36725c.jpg

We finally get to see Gabrielle Union in action in her brand new BET project, "Being Mary Jane."  Check out the super quick promo inside, plus Miguel‘s new socially conscious video for "Candles In The Sun."

It’s almost here.  The Akil‘s newest BET creation starring Gabby Union is on its way.

Gabby told the media at a promo shoot months ago:

"Being Mary Jane" is basically about a television host, who has her own show, and how she balances her life. Between wanting to talk about hard hitting news and other stories, she shuffles through her own personal morals. It’s about her trying to stand up for what she believes in but also keeping her ratings. She also struggles with the idea of being raised with the same morals, values and opportunities, throughout her family and being the only one to make it. How does that change the family dynamic? Her family comes from the upper-middle class, but she is the only one out of her siblings that is doing well. Her lack of a love life and the poor choices that she has made are also explored.

Tika Sumpter, Omari Hardwick and plenty more also co-star in the pilot movie (that will possibly turn into a series).  We hear from those who attended the screening that it’s great!

And in music videos:

"Adron" singer Miguel just dropped another video from his most recent album, Kaleidoscope Dream.  For his "Candles In the Sun" visuals, Miguel takes a look social, religous and political issues and expresses his thoughts in his own way. 

About his bold black & white video directed by Sarah McColgan, Miguel says:

“It’s so easy to ignore what’s right in front of us sometimes.  I wanted to create a song and visual that addressed my everyday concerns of life as I know it in the world that we live in.”
