Stassie Karanikolaou In Bikini Flaunts Happiness

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 08:28 AM PDT

Stassie Karanikolaou has been showing she's "happier than ever" while stripped down to a tiny bikini. The 24-year-old influencer and bestie to makeup mogul Kylie Jenner delighted her army of Instagram followers earlier this year, making January a Hot Girl Summer and showing off her killer bikini body at the same time.

Sharing a massive gallery of snaps, the blonde went brunette as she rocked a skimpy swimwear look, also highlighting her rock-hard abs and golden tan. Fans even got to join in with her whale watching.

Stuns In Bikini Showoff

Scroll for the photos. The Pretty Little Thing star gained over 940,000 likes for posing in a strapless and figure-flaunting bikini while out on the open water. Stassie opened facing the camera and was backed by blue seas and skies, plus distant land. She went bandeau style and itty-bitty in her printed two-piece, also embracing gen-z trends by going high-waisted.

The curvy beauty then shared shots from a boat as she enjoyed some whale watching, also sending out her gorgeous smile as she enjoyed a drink from a shot glass.

"Happier than ever," she wrote.

Stassie now boasts over 10 million followers and she's got muscle behind her. BFF Kylie, who ditched her former best friend Jordyn Woods in 2019, is closer than ever with Stassie, who is all over the new Hulu star's social media. In March, a photo on Stassie's Instagram also gained a like from 41-year-old Kim Kardashian.

Stassie is also earning cash via her high-profile relationships but on her own watch.

Good Squad Girl

The model has proven popular as she promotes Khloe Kardashian's Good American line, joining the inclusive Model Squad team modeling the 37-year-old's jeans.

"In 5 years I'd like to see myself more prominent in the fashion and beauty world. I would love to do a lot more modeling and many more different campaigns. But most importantly I would love to help change the world we live in. I think we need a serious change for the better and I would love to be a part of a revolution that will accomplish that," Stassie has stated.

Open About Breast Augmentation

SK has also proven an open book when it comes to revealing she's had a boob job.

"A lot of people think plastic surgery is only for cosmetic reasons, to change something you're insecure about. All my comments were saying, 'you're so insecure, you're so insecure,' which is the complete opposite. If I was insecure, I wouldn't have showed it," she told Harper's Bazaar back in 2017.

Rihanna Bares Baby Bump In YSL Puffer

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 08:17 AM PDT

At this point, we all know there's no escaping Rihanna's growing baby bump, and we don't mind. The unborn child makes an appearance in the most talked-about fashion magazine in the world this May! The singer-turned-businesswoman dished on intimate details in her latest Vogue Magazine issue, and you won't believe what celebrities deal with constantly.

As a fashion trendsetter and icon, you already know Riri's Vogue spread featured only the best designer outfits from YSL to Marc Jacobs and more! Although it wasn't the cover spread, Rihanna's black puffer coat from YSL stole our attention.

Rihanna Shows Off Her Bump

The Caribbean bad gyal posed in an oversized puffer coat wearing only Savage X Fenty briefs underneath. It exposed her big baby bump adorned with three diamond waist chains while she styled her black hair in a messy bun. It's one in a series of shots featuring oversized coats and a very pregnant Rih.

Her fashion-forward approach to maternity style has been a shifting conversation in the fashion space, and the award-winning entertainer revealed the thought process behind her style.

Nothing To Be Ashamed Of!

Rihanna's pregnancy mantra was simple, if she didn't wear it before her bump, she for sure wasn't going to wear it while pregnant. She asked a rhetorical question that upsets the traditional balance of maternity fashion, as it should. "Why should anyone hide a pregnancy?" The idea of maternity clothes is built on covering up the baby bump and not letting people know one is pregnant, which doesn't sit well with Rihanna, especially since it's not something deserving of shame.

Jaw-Dropping Fashion Style

Rihanna admitted that she thought pregnancy would change her, but it didn't. She remained the same old Barbadian girl and "none of the dials are toned down," and her show-stopping sheer Dior dress at the fashion show in France proves that. The singer dished on that moment, telling Chioma Nnadi,

"To me that dress is actually the closest thing to maternity clothes that I’ve worn so far. And we hadn’t really done lady that whole time. So I was like, Let’s do lady! Listen, they were going to see my panties regardless. So they’d better be mine." More Crop Tops To Come

She continued by saying she wouldn't be ashamed of the changes her body experienced during this pregnancy hence her tradition-defying cropped tops and low-waist jeans. In any case, she's dealt with pregnancy rumors her whole career, so now that it's true, we will see that bump!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw In Armani Makes Big Choices

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 08:03 AM PDT

Giorgio Armani's Crossroad series returns with 12 new leading ladies telling their stories in exciting interviews and cities. Episode three covered British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw as she reminisced on her acting career so far. The interviewer met her in London, and they talked about life since her graduation from the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Gugu dished on career stereotypes, especially "British clichés, career-defining moments and the power of theatre as a medium" of expression in the world today.

Early Days In Her Career

Gugu told Armani that she loves tea (very British) and started her career in Hollywood on a Hamlet production without having a fallback plan. Luckily for her, critiques loved the show launching her further into the American film market. As a biracial actress, representation is everything to her since she's always dealt with duality based on her status. The Beyond the Light actress admitted that it wasn't easy in the beginning to accept the reality of her situation, and she lived in denial for the longest time. However, now, she's ready to embrace her identity and use her voice to tell her story.

Making Big Choices"When I think about choices, I always try to tap into my instincts. It's hard in the world now. There are so many distractions, so many pressures. A lot of information, and I think to be able to distil that information, and distil your attention to really listen to yourself. And I think as an actor you're always inhabiting different emotions and personalities. So, to be able to have the tools to bring you almost back to neutral, listen to your gut and your soul. That's really what I return to when I have a big choice to make. ”'If I Wasn't An Actor...'

If she wasn't an actor, Gugu would be a painter. She said,

"I really love the state of flow that you get when you're painting. You lose track of time. It's been a really healing process for me."

She auctioned some of the paintings for some causes like Black Lives Matter, and she said, "they also gave the artwork another layer of meaning."

More Episodes Available

The first two episodes featuring Brazilian Model Valentina Sampaio and Italian Actress Matilda de Angelis already aired on Armani's YouTube channel. There are nine more episodes featuring forces to reckon with in their careers slated to drop for the year.

Determination was one of the greatest traits of the Brazilian surfer. Born in Paracuru, Ceará in Brazil, she grew up in a snack shack owned by her parents. This determination made her train herself how to surf at the age of seven. Her talent grew over the years, and she was able to take her to various surfing competitions. In 2005, she became the first woman who ever had the record of a perfect score of 10 in a competition in Hawaii. That was just a start for the pro surfer as she recorded two more perfect rides. Though she was proud of all these achievements, her greatest accomplishment to her was helping her family. She has been able to help her mother and brother thanks to her surfing career.

Lima's Injury

Being a great surfer and moving from one dangerous stage to another posed risks of injuries. The pro surfer tore her anterior cruciate ligament at a competition on the Gold Coast in Australia. She had to be put on the sidelines for the whole season in 2012. The surfer had to undergo three painful surgeries, but she was finally able to get through the pain. Lima took to the gym, had physiotherapy, maintained a healthy diet, and slept well to regain her full 100% control. Dreaming big was not hard for the athlete, and she had a dream of being the world champion someday. The surfer is not so far from fulfilling her dreams as she is the only Brazilian among the best surfers in the world.

'It's Just Not Possible': Bella Hadid In Pre-Spring Ralph Lauren Dress Talks 'Perfection'

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 07:49 AM PDT

"Fashion can make or break you and if it makes you, you have to make a conscious effort every day for it not to break you."

According to Vogue, plunging headfirst into the fashion world as a teenager took its toll on Palestinian-Dutch model Bella Hadid. She dealt with scrutiny from a young age that influenced her self-identity and body image, causing her to get a nose job at 14! Years later, that's one regret she nurses because she believed she could've grown to love her nose.

"When you are forced to be perfect every day, in every picture, you start to look at yourself and need to see perfection at all times, and it’s just not possible."Wearing Pre-Fall Ralph Lauren

Bella wore a blue Ralph Lauren Pre-Spring 22 Krystina Faille Evening Dress that molded the shape of her body. The dress embodied the simplicity with which Bella deals with her life outside the cameras.

She spoke about her struggle with control within influencing her outer actions. Unlike some of her peers, Bella doesn't fancy the partying aspect of being a model. She said,

"I don’t have FOMO for parties or going out. I have FOMO for work. If I say no to something and someone else does it, that’s hard for me. I hate it."A Significant Achievement

Bella considered the Vogue cover story a significant stepping stone in her career. To date, she can't find the words to express her excitement.

"I keep writing paragraphs and paragraphs about this cover and how I feel but no words seem to define what this means to me! Will try to wrap my thoughts up by tomorrow !😂Thank you everyone …. Your support is everything to me!! This is crazy!"A Lifetime Partnership With Ralph Lauren

Wearing a Ralph Lauren dress on such a special occasion wasn't a fluke, as the model has consistently expressed her love for the brand. Last month, she walked at the Ralph Lauren Fall-Winter show in New York during fashion week.

"I get tears in my eyes when I walk this show! To work around and watch Mr Ralph Lauren work… (along with his wonderful team…) it’s one of the biggest honors of my life for me… truly … a legend in all that he does and just absolutely the most lovely human being in the world. I just feel lucky. Thank you to the entire Ralph Lauren team. I really love you all." Stepping Into Hollywood

Harper's Bazaar reported that the model plans to add another feather to her cap as she's rumored to be in a new season of the Hulu series, Ramy coming this year. There's no concrete information on Bella's role yet.

Jennifer Lopez In Coach Says She Got It From Her Mama

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 07:34 AM PDT

This year, everything is returning in trend after two long years of fashion apathy, no thanks to the Pandemic. While Coach's Pillow Bag, a.k.a. Tabby was an instant hit when it first entered the market, it took a hit during the compulsory lockdown. Luckily for the English brand, as things are returning to normal, so is the love for the Tabby Pillows.

Coach tapped brand ambassador Jennifer Lopez as the face of its reinvented Pillow bag, and she revealed that she wants one for Mother's Day.

Coach For Every Generation

JLo gives the youth a run for their money in this relaxed look featuring an Onion pink faux-leather jacket worn over a cropped white Coach top and abs baring low-riding denim pants. The loose-fitting bottoms show off her toned belly and pink cotton briefs, and she pairs the outfit with subtle nude-toned makeup, Kellie Sandal, and a blue Tabby Pillow bag.

Two Options: Tabby And Madison

The Pillow bag comes in two variations, Tabby and Madison (shoulder bag) both retailing under $500. When asked what she wants for Mother's Day, JLo replied,

"I really like the feeling of the Pillow Tabby. Feeling it as in loving it, but also as in touching it and squeezing it and hugging it. I'm obsessed with the aqua color."

As part of the promo for the Coach pillow bag, the English brand erected an inflatable "Coach Pillow" structure in London's Soho Square. The geometric design gives passersby an immersive experience of the Coach Pillow bag since it takes on its soft quilted texture. French artist, Cyril Lancelin is the creative genius behind the structure.

The Immersive Coach Pillow Experience

The Immersive Coach Pillow structure went live in London from April 10, 8 am - 8 pm until it moved to Berlin and Dubai at unspecified times. Although Coach's Pillow bag became popular amongst Gen Z TikTokers, JLo proves its beauty transcends generations. That's why Coach is marketing the "IT Bag" as a Mother's Day must-have - the perfect gift for a mother who's sacrificed everything to ensure her child's happiness.

JLo's Pick

JLo's pick - the Tabby Pillow - features the signature "C" logo on the clasp and a multi-colored chain handle with a small tag attached to the side. The chain is a removable strap making the bag versatile based on the occasion. JLo said she got her dance moves from her mom during the campaign ad video 100%.

NBA News: ESPN Insider Shares Details Of Kevin Durant-James Harden 'Conflict' In Brooklyn

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 07:18 AM PDT

The Brooklyn Nets traded for James Harden last summer with the hope that pairing him with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant would strengthen their chances of fully dominating the Eastern Conference and winning the NBA championship title. However, in the middle of his first season as a Net, Harden realized that he doesn't want to stay long-term in Brooklyn. Before the 2022 NBA trade deadline, "The Beard" talked to Nets owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks to express his desire to be traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Instead of losing him in the 2022 NBA free agency without getting anything in return, the Nets have agreed to send Harden to the Sixers in exchange for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two future first-round picks.

Interesting Revelations About Kevin Durant-James Harden Relationship

When he arrived in Brooklyn, everything was expected to go smoothly for Harden since he would be reuniting with Durant, his teammate on the Oklahoma City Thunder for three years. However, it turned out that Harden and Durant weren't on good terms in their brief time together in Brooklyn. According to Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN, Durant and the Nets weren't thrilled to see Harden "out of shape" when he joined the team.

Knowing that he's still chasing his first NBA championship title, they were expecting Harden to be committed to conditioning and self-care. Unfortunately, the All-Star shooting guard didn't put much effort into improving his physique which Durant believed has contributed to his lack of explosiveness and sluggish play.

Nets Fail To Resolve Conflict Between Two Stars

As the season went deeper, the relationship between Harden and Durant worsened. Arnovitz revealed that no one inside the Nets' organization found a way to fix the issue between the two superstars which made them decide to engage in a blockbuster deal with the Sixers at the 2022 NBA trade deadline.

"Harden, sources say, found Durant's slant grating and self-righteous. The two never resolved the conflict, and there was little that teammates, coach Steve Nash or Marks could do to mediate it. With each passing week, Harden became more isolated, with staff and teammates increasingly frustrated by the static."James Harden Not A Fan Of Nets' Offense

It wasn't the first time that rumors surfaced about Durant and Harden's controversial relationship with the Nets. Aside from his physique, it seems like the two superstars also have issues regarding the Nets' offensive scheme. Days after the Nets and the Sixers completed the blockbuster trade, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report revealed that Harden would "roll his eyes" whenever the Nets designed a play for Durant.

"Durant and Nash wanted a free-flowing offense, which Mike D’Antoni had helped install last season, but Harden preferred his patented iso ball. Brooklyn coaches noticed Harden would roll his eyes when an after-timeout play was designed for Durant, sources said."Kevin Durant Knows Why James Harden Left

Despite the issues surrounding their relationship, Durant seemed to understand why Harden decided to demand a trade from the Nets before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. With his health issues earlier this season and Irving's vaccination status, Durant thinks that Harden has started to have doubts about the Nets' chances of reaching the NBA Finals and contending for the 2022 NBA championship title.

“You can try to look at it from his perspective: Kai’s not playing, and I’m injured. He hasn’t won a championship before,” Durant said, as quoted by Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News.

NBA Rumors: Anthony Davis & Russell Westbrook Could Be Traded To Bulls For Five Players In Proposed Blockbuster

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 07:12 AM PDT

After suffering a huge disappointment in the 2021-22 NBA season, most NBA fans are eager to know what the Los Angeles Lakers are planning to do this summer. The Lakers may have missed the 2022 NBA Playoffs but with LeBron James still on their roster, it is highly unlikely for them to consider undergoing a full-scale rebuild. Instead of taking a different route, the Lakers are expected to add quality players who would help James bring the team back to the NBA Finals and capture the Larry O'Brien Trophy next year.

Proposed Lakers-Bulls Trade

One of the most intriguing trade partners for the Lakers this summer is the Chicago Bulls. In a recent article, James Piercey of NBA Analysis Network discussed a hypothetical blockbuster trade idea that would enable Anthony Davis to join his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls, in the 2022 NBA offseason. In the proposed trade scenario, the Lakers would be sending Davis, Russell Westbrook, and a 2027 first-round pick to the Bulls in exchange for Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, Troy Brown Jr., and Tony Bradley.

Bringing Two Former Lakers Back

The proposed blockbuster trade would feature the return of two former Lakers to Los Angeles this summer. Ball and Caruso may not be as accomplished as Westbrook, but Piercey believes that they would be a much better fit alongside James.

"A reunion with Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso makes for a feel-good story, but it may make practical sense as well. They’re both high IQ guards that provide value both on defense and off-ball. They’re both anti-Westbrook players, meaning that they can play with LeBron James."Lakers Swap Anthony Davis For Nikola Vucevic

The Lakers are expected to explore the trade if they no longer believe that the tandem of Davis and James could help them win another NBA championship title. By sending Davis to his hometown, the Lakers would be acquiring an immediate frontcourt replacement for him in Vucevic. Though he's not as good as Davis, Vucevic could still make a huge impact for the Lakers on both ends of the floor.

Vucevic would give the Lakers a more durable starting-caliber center who can score, rebound, facilitate the ball, protect the rim, and space the floor. This season, the 31-year-old center is averaging 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.0 steal while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Bulls Add Two Veteran All-Stars

The proposed blockbuster deal would make a lot of sense for the Bulls if they suffer an early exit in the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Instead of running it back next season, the suggested trade would enable them to overhaul their roster around Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. Davis may have dealt with injuries this season but when he's 100 percent healthy, he would be a massive upgrade over Vucevic in the Bulls' frontcourt.

Meanwhile, the Bulls would be taking a huge gamble on Westbrook in the hypothetical trade. If he could regain his MVP form, Westbrook would provide a major improvement in the Bulls' backcourt. If he struggles once again next season, the Bulls could simply let him walk away when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2023.

NBA Rumors: Knicks Could Get Bradley Beal For Package Centered On RJ Barrett In Proposed Blockbuster

Posted: 13 Apr 2022 07:03 AM PDT

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal is expected to be one of the biggest names on the trade block in the 2022 NBA offseason. The Wizards may not have shown a strong indication that they are planning to move Beal but if they fail to build a legitimate title contender around him, most people believe that Beal may finally consider following in the footsteps of other superstars and find his way out of Washington this summer. Once he demands a trade, the Wizards would be left with no choice but to listen to offers for him on the trade market.

Bradley Beal To New York Knicks

One of the teams that could express a strong interest in acquiring Beal from the Wizards is the New York Knicks. In a recent article, James Piercey of NBA Analysis Network created a list of trade packages that the Knicks could build to land a superstar on the trade market in the 2022 NBA offseason. In the hypothetical blockbuster deal that would send Beal to New York, Piercey suggests that the Knicks could offer the Wizards RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Evan Fournier, a 2022 first-round pick, and a 2024 first-round pick.

Bradley Beal Passes Wizards' Throne To RJ Barrett

The proposed blockbuster deal would make a lot of sense for the Wizards, especially if Beal is no longer interested in being the face of the franchise. By sending him to the Knicks, the Wizards would be receiving the assets that they need to undergo a full-scale rebuild. Barrett would give the Wizards a new centerpiece of the next title-contending team that they will try to build in Washington. Barrett may not be as good as Beal right now but in his first three years in the league, he has shown huge superstar potential and the capability to lead a team.

Wizards Get Another Young Player & Draft Assets

Aside from Barrett, the Wizards would also be receiving Reddish and two future first-round picks. Reddish is another talented prospect that the Wizards could develop alongside their young core of Rui Hachimura, Deni Avdija, and Corey Kispert. Being traded to a rebuilding team would benefit Reddish as they could give him more time to improve his performance on both ends of the floor.

Meanwhile, Fournier is only included in the deal for salary-matching purposes. With his ability to efficiently knock down shots from beyond the arc, the Wizards could easily flip Fournier for a young player and/or a future draft pick.

Knicks Finally Acquire A Legitimate Superstar

Trading Barrett would be a tough decision for the Knicks, but it might be worth it if it means acquiring a player of Beal's caliber. The successful acquisition of Beal this summer would fulfill the Knicks' dream of adding a legitimate superstar to their roster. He would give the Knicks one of the league's best active scorers, as well as a good playmaker and a decent floor spacer.

This season, the 28-year-old shooting guard is averaging 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 30.0 percent from beyond the arc. However, before going all-in for Beal, the Knicks should first get an assurance from him that he intends to stay long-term in New York.
