on the racks: miley shows her side-boob to marie claire

Tweet What does Miley do for her first magazine photoshoot since she turned 18? She shows a little side-boob in Marie Claire!

I know, I know... She's 18, she's allowed to be hott. And you're right! Minus her awkwardly and obviously pulling her dress down to show it off, she looks smokin'! But as each day goes by, her appearance becomes less and less "SO Miley." The one we know, anyway.

In the article, they addressed the bong incident:

Miley: I'm not perfect ... I made a mistake ... I'm disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans ...
MC: But do you really think it was a mistake? Obviously college kids your age all over America are smoking bongs with a lot more than salvia in them.
Miley: But they're not Miley Cyrus. They're not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for.

At least she knows why it was wrong. It's exactly why it was such a big deal. As much as I love her, and I understand everyone grows up, when you're in the entertainment business, you have to sort of live for your fans. It's what you chose to do, and what you're supposed to understand.

So put a smile back on your face, girl! Be all happy and bubbly and cheerful and OMG SOOO MILEY! I miss that girl. The girl before she became too cool.

love,

PS: Here's the video from the shoot. Again- what she says is totally true, but she's still gotta remember who's watching.

on the racks: rihanna does marie claire

Tweet I loved Rihanna. Then I was iffy. Now that she's got her long red hair and her confidence back, I love her again.

I love her even more on the cover of December's Marie Claire.

She looks SMOKIN' HOTT! Oh my goodness.

The Rihanna I know and love pre-Chris Brown is BACK ladies and gents... Just in time for her new album, LOUD, which is supposed to be released in November and have songs with Drake, Eminem, and Nicki Minaj.

I. Can't. Wait.

Check out more of the pictures from the shoot which will be in the glamour and subscriber editions of the UK magazine:

That red hair is something special. I wish I could pull it off!

Welcome back, Ri-Ri.

on the racks: christina and blake take the covers

This month seems to be a fabulous one for magazine covers! Every one that I've seen has been totally share-worthy.

The latest: Christina Aguilera on Marie Claire and Blake Lively on Esquire!

I'm a huge fan of Blake Lively and I think Christina is finally looking good again! Thank goodness!

Both are working on movies with famous co-stars [Christina with Cher and Blake with Ben Affleck] and both are revamping their image, but as to what they each have to say:

“I have a sex scene in this film and that’s never comfortable, You think, ‘Oh, this is going to be so awkward.’ But this scene isn’t supposed to be a steamy one – it’s sort of tragic. … I’m pretty much crying in it.”
-Blake Lively about her role in "The Town," which portrays her as a woman going through sexual assault

“I didn’t want to do something that was easy for me. I’ve actually had my character rewritten to be tougher and a little more spunky.”
-Christina Aguilera about her role in "Burlesque"

I'm totally rooting for both of them! I have a good feeling about them both! Then again, "The Town" is directer by Ben Affleck, and he seems to be the kiss of death in the past 10 years.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Sidenote: Ben Affleck totally has great things to say about Blake:

"She came in, did one reading, and just crushed it. Like, Boston accent — really good. I was sort of stunned. I said, ‘Jeez, you know, that was really f—ing good. Who are you?’ She didn’t mention that she was on a television show.”
