HEIDI KLUM AND SEAL HEADED TOWARD SPLITSVILLE



Yes, I'm completely surprised by this! Heidi Klum and Seal are announcing their split after seven years of marriage and five children, four with one another. I mean no one saw this coming! In public this couple were always talking about their love and lust for each other, even renewing their vows every year!




But word is circulating that it was Seal's anger issues that have become more frequent that had Heidi decide to leave. Though everything seemed happy on an exterior level, behind the scenes there were some intense arguments. It was when these arguments appeared in front of their children that Heidi decided she needed a change of scenery.




Here is their joint statement, "While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children¹s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."




Though they have split, they are still on good terms. As I mentioned before, I was very shocked at this news. Everyone is divorcing! Why isn't marriage such a sanctity like it used to be? Has to be Hollywood right? Regardless, I always felt Heidi Klum was a lot prettier than Seal, like no comparison, but their public love for one another made up for it. If this marriage that was completely unexpected ended, what saving grace is there for other couples in the Hollywood spotlight?

AT LAST, ETTA JAMES RESTS IN PEACE

This morning, Etta James passed away after suffering from leukemia. The soulful singer with a unique voice will always be remembered, especially for her infamous rendition of the classic love song "At Last". That song is played in numerous weddings to signify the long found love between newlyweds and forecasting a beautiful life together.




Etta James did not only suffer from leukemia, she actually has been battling health issues for quite a few years now. In 2009, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease; 2010 she had a dangerous staph infection; and May 2011 had a blood infection. Two weeks prior to today, she was also terminally ill, before she passed away at the age of 73. Though she is gone from this earth, Etta James will always be a memory that WILL LAST. See what other stars had to say about this incredible idol:





Will.i.am: "Showing respect appreciation and love for all the wonderful music and joy #ettajames brought to the world...#ettajamesforever."

Emmy Rossum: "RIP the beautiful Etta James."

Harry Shum Jr.: "'At Last' is and always will be in my playlist for songs I can hear a million times and feel like it was new again. R.I.P. Etta James."

Amber Riley: "RIP Etta James :( such a unique & beautiful voice."

Kirstie Alley: "At last my love has come along..my lonely days are over....RIP Etta James"

Holly Robinson Peete: "RIP legendary diva Etta James ... Rest with angels Etta. Well done."

Taylor Hicks: "RIP Etta James. What a talent. She was a true non conformist in music and that's what legends are made of. #tellmama."

Denise Richards: "so sad to hear Etta James passed away.....my heart goes out to her loved ones."

Haley Williams: "I will be forever grateful for your voice and your soul. Rest in peace."

MC Hammer: "When she sang she had the Gift to become 'The Song,' the pain, the love, the Glory."

Gabrielle Union: "We've lost another treasure."

Tamera Mowry-Housely: "At last was and will remain ICONIC."

Adam Lambert: "RIP Etta."




Besides the celebrities that were effected, here are some of my FB friends who did a shoutout to the soulful singer. It just shows that, no matter where in life you may come from, music can transcend everything and have such a powerful effect on someone.

Jellica Jasmine: Etta James

Katie Cisneros: RIP Etta James

Feli Dominguez: Rest in peace to the wonderfl Mrs. Etta James

Diamond Carter: RIP Etta James...At Last you're free





May you forever Rest In Peace...

GOLDEN GLOBES FASHION RECAP 2012

The Golden Globes came and went...but here's who made my Best Dressed List for the night!

Kate Beckingsale glowed in a nude strapless Roberto Cavalli gown.



Sofia Vergara was VA-VA-VROOMING in a navy blue gown that hugged all her Latina curves.



Nicole Kidman looked amazing in this dazzling gray Versace dress embedded with gold studded stones. Seriously look at her statuesque figure! That dress fits her like a glove!



Laura Dern looked great in this emerald green embroidered gown by Andrew Gn. I just love the style and color of it!



Emma Stone looks so sultry in this burgundy and red Lanvin gown.



Reese Witherspoon's outfit reminded me of Elle in Legally Blonde. She chose a caliente red strapless Zac Posen gown.




Jessica Chastain had a very old cool retro feel in this white embroidered Givenchy gown. Perfect for her nomination for "The Help".



You definitely need to see all aspects of Claire Danes in a very modern J. Mendel column gown. Absolutely amazing!



Charlize Theron looked like a mirage in this nude Dior Couture gown. I absolutely love it, and not many people can pull this look off.



Jessica Alba was my best dressed for the night. She looked amazingly gorgeous in this pale lavendar embroidered Gucci gown. When I saw her, I was seriously WoW'd!



Evan Rachel Wood is so freakin beautiful. I seriously might have a little girl crush on her. She looked so gorgeous in a feather and sequin embellished Gucci gown. Okay, she's definitely my other best dressed of the night!



For the fashion trends portrayed at this year's Golden Globes, nude was definitely a trend. Lace is still here to stay, especially nude colored lace. And if you didn't know already, Curves.Are.In. Show off that womanly figure of yours!
