Jessica Alba Scorches In A White Bikini On The Cover Of Entertainment Weekly

Whew! Jessica Alba is heating things up on the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly. The star of Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is already setting summer ablaze before the season even begins by getting wet and wild in a teeny-weeny white bikini and a smoldering smokey eye with a red hot lip.

But even though the 33-year-old actress is smokin’ on the cover of the magazine and as the “lasso-swinging stripper Nancy Callahan in the hyper-violent, hyper-sexy, hyper-everything sequel” to the 2005 film, Alba revealed that sexy is not her style:

“I don’t watch sexy movies, it makes me uncomfortable!” 

The irony.

Quvenzhané Wallis Is Officially The New Face Of Giorgio Armani Junior

10-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis has been named as the new face of the Fall 2015 Armani Junior campaign ads this summer. Do you know what we were doing at 10 years old? Not being nominated for, like awards and starring in critically acclaimed films like Beasts of a Southern Wild and 12 Years a Slave, that’s for sure. And not only is Quvenzhané, who will play Annie in the remake this December, the youngest Oscar nominee of all time, she’s the first major child celebrity to ever be the face of a luxury brand.

In the first photo of her in her new role, exclusively shared by Hollywood Reporter, pint-sized performer replaces her puppy purse with a real-life puppy as she strikes a pose in a beautifully tailored black suit. And as we all know, she’s no stranger to the brand–because who could ever forget how adorable she was in her blue Armani gown at the 2013 Oscars?

Not even Giorgio Armani himself:

“Quvenzhané is so talented, despite her young age,” he said in a press release Thursday. “Her kindness, curiosity and openness toward others really struck me, as they are all traits I admire. It is for this very reason that I wanted her to be the face of Armani Junior. With her insatiable energy, Quvenzhane made the clothing come alive, interpreting it in her own singular way.”

Quvenzhané added:

 “I’m so happy to be chosen by Mr. Armani to be his ambassador for Armani Junior. I felt the same excitement when I got cast for a major film. Me? Wow! I was honored to wear his custom gown to the Oscars. It made me feel like a princess. When I saw Mr. Armani’s Prive show in New York, the dresses were so pretty … I had too many favorites. Afterwards when I met him, I realized Mr. Armani is such a nice man. I liked that that he was so thoughtful. It’s fun to wear Armani Junior since I really like the clothes. It’s young. It’s cool. My friends are going to want to borrow all my clothes.”

You go girl.

Double The Pop! Katy Perry And Madonna Cover V Magazine

Is the Queen of Pop passing over her crown to this pop princess? Not exactly. Madonna isn't going anywhere. She’s just into a little submission sometimes. That’s all. She was willing to kneel down to Katy Perry for an editorial she shares with the California Gurl in an upcoming issue with V magazine. And get all tied up by her, too.

Yep, it’s as kinky as it sounds. Madge and Katy share the cover of the glossy’s summer issue, and they’re heating things up in a super sexy spread, S&M style. On the front page, both of the ladies are laced in leather as Madonna sits with her legs wide open and Katy straddles her from behind. Although there aren’t too many shots out yet of their editorial inside the issue, we do know that things got pretty provocative between the bondage babes who channeled sexy sirens of the 1950s:

“I was sore in my upper body and in my butt area from all that squatting,” Perry said of her shoot with the pop icon. Madonna quipped, “It’s good to be sore in your butt. My neck is sore from that wonderful moment when I was sucking on your heel.”

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2015 Collection

Oscar de la Renta showed his attention to detail in this Resort collection. Many of the sportswear pieces hit the mark; undeniably luxurious but still appropriate for multiple uses. The evening wear however was classically opulent, and covered in delicate embroidery. 

“Resort means nothing. Who buys clothes exclusively for going to a resort?” Says the designer. This sensibility echoes a new take on luxury designer items. Once sought out mostly for their status, now there is an increasing demand for these to be more versatile.

I bet Rihanna would wear the piece above if offered, which would you wear?

Channing Tatum Covers GQ Magazine, Reveals His Penis-Kissing Bet With Jonah Hill 

Although the man also known as Magic Mike is all covered up on the cover of GQ, inside, Channing Tatum is baring it all. his. In his cover story, one of Hollywood’s hottest hunks isn’t afraid to get a little intimate and share some pretty revealing things about himself. Like how Jonah Hill bet him to kiss his penis if their film 21 Jump Street broke $35 million during its open weekend.

Keep on reading for excerpts from his interview.

On his drinking habit:
“I probably drink too much, you know. My wife, that’s what she bought into.… I’m probably a pretty high-functioning, I guess, you know, I would say, alcoholic, I guess. There’s probably a tendency to escape. I equate it to creativity, and I definitely equate it to having a good time.”

On his bet with Jonah:
“I haven’t made him do it yet. For obvious reasons. That’s a bad bet to lose—it’s not too good to win, either. But definitely the shame of it would be enjoyable. It’s my trump card, for sure. He tries not to bring it up at all costs. Unless he did something horrible to me, I don’t know if I could ever cash it in. It would change our relationship forever.”

On his invisible friend:
“His name was Boy. I think I just lived in an imaginary world. I was always playing war in the woods, people are chasing me… I wasn’t doing it because I was desperate for friends. I had friends.”

On the TV show, The Biggest Loser:
“I really do love it. It’s terrible and it’s bad, but I really do think it’s because I have an inner fat kid in me. I can completely lose myself into just absolutely satisfying things—a really amazing cheeseburger, a pizza, good fries, a beer. I enjoy being comfortable and eating whatever the hell I like.”

On his love of cake:
“I just love cake. Confetti cake, to be specific. It has little colored candies inside the cake, and then you get the confetti icing, which is really hard to find sometimes. It’s really hard to explain to people, because it’s not icing with sprinkles on top. It’s icing that actually has candies inside of it. It’s Funfetti icing. It’s a beautiful mix. It is an angel sent from heaven.”


The issue hits stands May 27.

Jennifer Lawrence Covers Marie Claire June Issue

Jennifer Lawrence covers the June issue of Marie Claire with a serious glare, and inside, JLaw gets real about her role as Hollywood’s outspoken sweetheart. the silly star knows that America will one day grow out of our obsession with her shtick, just like that pixie cut of hers

“Nobody can stay beloved forever,” she reasons. “I never believed it, the whole time. I was like, just wait: People are going to get sick of me. My picture is everywhere, my interviews are everywhere; I’m way too annoying because I get on red carpets and I’m really hyper, and I can’t not photo-bomb somebody if it’s a good opportunity. But it’s something I always tell myself: ‘You need to calm the fuck down. You don’t want to constantly be a GIF”.

On whether or not she really tripped at the Oscars–twice:

“I’m trying to do the right thing, waving to the fans, trying to be nice, and there’s a traffic cone. The second I hit it, I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, ‘You’re fucked. They’re totally going to think this is an act.’ If I were Jared Leto, I would completely agree. But trust me, if I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch Homeland—I’m craftier than that!”

On her outspoken openness:
“I’m not like, ‘I’m a rebel; I’m out of control.’ I just don’t think about things before I say them or do them.
