Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, Rejected $1 million Offer from LifeStyles Condoms!!

Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, 15, has rejected a $1 million (£500,000) offer form condom makers LifeStyles Condoms to become its spokesgirl. The VP of marketing for LifeStyles Condoms says:
"With recent reports showing that one out of four teenage girls has an STD and the high level of teenage pregnancy, we believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set - and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America." [Source]
They think that the Hannah Montana star could encourage teens to practice safe sex. Ummm... what is the reason for this rejection?? I would argue the real reason is Miley think she's turning into a huge skank!! HaHaHaHa... What do you think??

Janine Lindemulder






Janine Marie Lindemulder (born on November 14, 1968 in La Mirada, California, U.S.) is an American exotic dancer and adult film actress, best-known for her work in American pornographic films (typically credited as just Janine), during the mid-1990s and a 2004-2005 comeback.

After graduating from high school in 1986, Lindemulder supplemented her income by working as a stripper. In 1987, she modeled for Penthouse magazine, making her first appearance in the December 1987 issue, as the Pet of the Month. She appeared several more times in Penthouse over the next ten years, and was chosen as Pet of the Year Runner-Up for 1990.

Janine attempted to take roles in mainstream films early in her career. Her first role came in the 1988 Italian film titled Bersaglio sull'autostrada. Known as Moving Target in English-speaking countries, Janine was credited as Janine Linde and the film also starred Linda Blair of The Exorcist fame. She went on to act in other mainstream films including Spring Break USA and Caged Fury although neither was very successful. Her appearance in Penthouse led to a role in a video released by that company titled Penthouse Satin & Lace that featured various models from the magazine. This eventually led to her debut in the adult film industry.

Lindemulder made her adult film debut in the 1992 movie Andrew Blake´s Hidden Obsessions. She was featured in two more adult movies before joining Vivid Video and becoming one of their contract girls which are collectively referred to as the Vivid Girls. Within her contract, Janine worked under a girl-only policy which meant she would only do adult work with other women and this became her trademark of sorts. Her first film with Vivid was titled Parlor Games and she would go on to being featured in over fifty other titles through her run with the company.

During her tenure with Vivid, Janine continued to branch out into other forms of entertainment. She formed half of the exotic dancing duo Blondage, along with Julia Ann, and the duo headlined several videos for Vivid. Janine received a part on the Howard Stern film Private Parts as the wife of a camp director. She also appeared on Stern's television and radio shows as a featured guest. Lindemulder was the cover model for Blink-182's album Enema of the State and appeared in their video for the song "What's My Age Again?" as a nurse. She appeared in several other music videos as well.

In 1999, Janine announced she was leaving the adult film industry to pursue a career as a kindergarten teacher. She also stated her reason for leaving was to focus more on raising her child. Her retirement lasted until April 2004 when she announced that she would be making a comeback and working with men as well as women. She signed with her former company, Vivid Video, and starred in eight films under their brand. Her first film scene with a male was with Nick Manning in the film Maneater. After her contract with Vivid expired, Janine signed with Digital Playground and was featured in several films from that company. In November of 2005, Lindemulder announced on her official website's forum that she was once again retiring from adult films but in January of 2006 she won two AVN Awards and subsequently returned to the adult film industry. She still works with both male and female actors and her latest film stars another well-known porn star, Jenna Jameson, in Janine Loves Jenna which debuted in April of 2007.

Angelina Jolie is Not a Mother Nature!!

FYI, Angelina Jolie is Not a Mother Nature!! According to Us Weekly, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used in vitro fertilization to quickly conceive their lovely twins, Knox and Vivienne.
"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."

Anthony Winters Killed by Lynn Spears in 1975!!

Britney Spears' mother Lynn Spears (L), 53, has killed a boy in an unavoidable deathly accident in 1975. The 12-year-old boy, Anthony Winters, was accidentally hit by Lynne's car while riding a bicycle in Kentwood, Louisiana.

Her rep said:
“Anthony Winters and his friend were in the road on a curve on a bicycle. As Lynne rounded the curve she could not avoid the boy in the street as there was oncoming traffic in the opposite lane.”
A friend of Lynne added:
"She is still haunted by the incident. To this day, Lynne hasn’t gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it. She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, ‘Please don’t think I’m a bad person."[Source]

"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk... that's one reason i asked you to turn off TV cameras... It got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is, how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?" [Source]
Poor Bush... you do say some amazingly stupid things!! HaHaHaHa...

STYLE TIDBITS WITH NNENNA, ESTELLE AND FATIMA

Cate Blanchett and Nnenna were seen in this Jil Sander silk chiffon S/S 2008 dress.



A then pregnant Cate attended the Sydney premiere of her film "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" back in March while Nnenna wore the same dress for a recent fashion magazine spread.

This fashion faceoff may seem as slightly unfair because Nnenna wore her dress for a photoshoot whereas Cate wore her look at red carpet event. I couldn't resisted matching up Nnenna with Cate's look.



The Jil Sander Spring 2008 dress in question:

Estelle jumped right on the latest shoe trend when she attended the latest "Indiana Jones" film premiere in a pair of bronze Yves Saint Laurent Tribute platform sandals. Golden Brooks, Jenny McCarthy and Keri Hilson were all seen in this fashion forward footwear.



Shortly after, I noticed this particular shoe a whole lot on the red carpet. Case in point, Kelly Rowland, Heidi Klum, an Olsen twin, Mariah Carey, and two Danity Kane members all wore this popular shoe:



That YSL price tag ($770) is sort of steep, so try this Steven Madden Aileenn shoe for $99.95!!



ONTD posted up these recent photos of Fatima Siad...



Fatima best known for being a Cycle 10 finalist on "America's Next Top Model." As you can tell from the photos, Fatima switch up her hair from long to short. Check out loads of Fatima's fashion photos over at ALL-ANTM.NET.

One-name wonders Iman and Sade were ranked as two of the top 20 Sexiest Black Women over 40 according to Black Voices Blog. Iman came in at # 19 and Sade's #16! (Angela Bassett was #1 followed by Halle Berry.)



19. Iman
Millionaire model and entrepreneur Iman remains seductive and glamorous at 52. A pioneer as an African fashion icon, Iman carries the torch today by speaking out for equality for newer black models. She's got her game on lock, and nothing is more sexy than power.



16. Sade
Singer Sade has been beloved for her intoxicating voice and elegant style for many years. A child of two continents, her background lent an exotic ambiance to songs like 'Smooth Operator' and 'Sweetest Taboo,' making them totally authentic -- and incredibly sexy. At 49, she's still got it.
I couldn't agree more with the list. While you and I are on the topic of Miss Sade, I think I speak for all her fans when I say - DO COME BACK TO MUSIC!

Djimon Hounsou supported girlfriend Kimora Lee Simmons' Fabulosity for JCPenney launch.

I think I speak for many when I say damn Kimora, just damn! I say this just from outside looking in. Djimon has stood besides her throughout her divorce and her kids seems to like him. Can we freeze frame on Djimon's salt and pepper beard. -sigh!- Anyhow, I do love her Dolce & Gabbana dress.

If you've been reading this blog, you know how much I love posting up these fun 'got IT better' posts. Liya Kebede may have been onto the Givenchy open-toe booties trend several months prior. The runway model wore this look straight from Givenchy's Spring 2008 collection back in January at 10th Annual amfAR New York Gala. This look has been seen on Rihanna twice.



Due to high demand, the short style of this shoe is sold out! So, anyhow which fashionista has the better style -Liya or Rihanna?

Rants/thoughts:
Planning any wedding is hard and time consuming but planning a Nigerian wedding is a trip! I'm not the one getting married but I sure feel like I am, lol! From making your outfit from the lace to last minute arrangements... oh my goodness! One more month to go! Maybe I posted up photos from the wedding on here because you and I know that the fun part is the actual wedding reception. I cannot wait to see the cultural dance groups and of course the fight for the bride's flowers.

Can you believe I'm apart of the blogging community for 2 years in just two days???
