Just in time for Father’s Day, Under Armour releases the Chef Curry ‘Dad Shoe’

dad shoe

Our fave sports dad Steph Curry is married to our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Ayesha Curry, and is having a great week not just because his Golden State Warriors NBA team are up 3-1 in the NBA Finals.

Also this week, athletic brand Under Armour released its latest permeation of his name brand shoe,  the new Curry 2 Low Chef colorways.

I think they are cute but they were re-branded by the Internet as the dad shoe. The memes and jokes are hilarious! Under Armour should take all this Twitter ribbing as a positive. Father’s Day is just around the corner.

Make lemonade.

And the red older version is cute too and an alternative to the white and grey ones.

Complex Sneaker’s Twitter Account has assembled the best. Here are some of the funny tweets and Memes.

Trending: Christina Aguilera returns to Red Hair at Hillary Clinton Fundraiser

christina aguilera red collage

Christina Aguilera trended this week on social media when she performed at a Hillary ClintonShe’s With Us” fundraiser in Los Angeles, California on Monday, June 6 with sultry red hair.

During the event, she wore a black double breasted tuxedo jacket, a black fedora and glittery tights with her fire engine hair peeping under a black fedora. She looked hawt.

The platinum-selling artist who is a coach and judge on The Voice showed off her  new look on her Instagram account to shock and awe of her millions of social media followers.

The look channeled Jessica Rabbit but is not the first time the “What A Girl Wants” singer donned red hair. In the past, she ditched her signature platinum blonde for a red wig. It worked and really made her blue eyes pop!

Love the blonde but the red is something special.

Angela Simmons flashes Baby Bump Before Beyonce’s NYC Concert

angela simmons

First-time mom-to-be Angela Simmons showed off her growing bump last night before heading off to the NYC leg of Beyonce’s Formation tour. I am officially jealous though I have been enjoying the social media and blog world’s photos of the tour.

I did also find this Boomerang gif of the baby mogul and reality TV star of Growing up Hip Hop really cute.

Simmons announced that she is expecting her first child in May. 

 

Headed to ??❤️

Celebrity blogger v. celebrity blogger v. Celebrity Blogger: There’s a Difference

25900705292_45da7ea588_z

Recently, someone asked me if I consider myself a celebrity blogger.

I had to step back and think. In my opinion, there is a difference between Celebrity blogger, celebrity blogger and Celebrity Blogger.

As a person who blogs about famous people, I consider myself a Celebrity blogger. I cover their pregnancies just like my sister blogs about hip hop stars  at Posh the Socialte and Catherine Kallon once penned the now-defunct Red-Carpet Fashion awards blog about celebs on the red carpet. Then, there are the ton of gossip blogs like Michael K’s DListed.

In recent years, some people who blog about celebrities have become so famous and well-known that they are now celebrities in their own right. I think of Jared Eng from Just Jared and Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr,from PerezHilton.com, as best-known examples.

These are celebrity bloggers with lower case letters.

Finally, some celebrities launch their own blogs. The most famous is probably Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop blog. Molly Sims, Tori Spelling, Zooey Deschannel and others have regularly updated famous blogs too.

They qualify as Celebrity Bloggers with capital letters.

Got it? Good. (smile)

Here’s Our 2016 CFDA Red Carpet Rundown

cfda red carpet

The 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards went down at the Hammerstein Ballroom this past Monday, June 6, 2016 in New York City. Several of our blog alums were present including Beyonce who took home the Fashion Icon Award. She shined in a glittery box cut pin-striped suit with a wide bring black hat.

“I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people think they can write their own story. Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even our therapist,” Bey said during her speech (via Vogue). “I encourage you to not forget this power you have or to take it lightly. We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all of your work, it goes far beyond what the eye can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award, I’ll never forget this night. God bless you all. Thank you.”

Her daughter Blue Ivy walked the red carpet for the first time with her mom and dad before the event.

Other of our “Bellyitch Bumpwatch” alums spotted on the red carpet included: Heidi Klum in Rolan Mouret, Jennifer Hudson in Prabal Gurung,  Alessandra Ambrosio in Michael Kors Collection, Olivia Wilde in Rosie Assoulin, Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection, Jourdan Dunn in Jonathan Simkhai, Ciara in Roberto Cavalli, Adriana Lima in Marc Jacobs and Alicia Silverstone and Selma Blair, both in Christian Siriano, who attended the event with his design muses.

From Ivy Park to FableticsWe Picked Our Fave Celeb Athletic Brand Pieces for You

celeb athletic

Beyonce is the latest celeb to launch into the athletic clothing brand with her Ivy Park named for her daughter Blue Ivy.

Bey has said the the 228-piece collection aims to promote a powerful message of self-assurance, confidence, inclusivity and diversity, the cornerstones for a generation reared on mindfulness – and it is democratic and accessible.

According to reports, Beyoncé found it depressing that up to 80 per cent of girls give up sport at the age of 13, thus why the line caters to young girls and has a slouchy and comfy aesthetic but with style. The brand was launched in collaboration and partnership with TopShop.

Within hours of the release in April, the brand sold out.

 

The collection ranges in price from $15 to $265, according to the Topshop website. Here are our fave pieces.

Actress Kate Hudson is a co-founder of Fabletics, which launched in October 2013.

The line is sold online exclusively. Shoppers can purchase individual items or join a VIP membership for lower pricing and outfit recommendations. Hudson has said of the line that she hopes that Fabletics will inspire women to embrace a healthy lifestyle. “That was a huge goal for us, to inspire women to empower themselves by getting active and taking care of their gorgeous selves, not as a fad or a quick fix, but as a way of living that promotes health, community, determination, passion and joy,” she said.

These pink and grey Fabletics leggings run $75 retail.

The Fabletics Salar Space Dye Capri runs about $65.

Carrie-underwood-CALIA-007

Grammy-award winning singer and brand new mom Carrie Underwood launched her athletic clothing line CALIA in 2014 while expecting her first child.

The brand was first available at Dick’s Sporting Goods retail stores and then started selling online last March 2015. The name is inspired by the Greek word for beauty, “Kallos”, as well as calla lilies.

CALIA’s collection includes mid-range priced capris and pants, tops and bras as well as accessories such as tote bags, headbands and water bottles. Functionality and design were key; some pockets in CALIA gear were optimized to fit smart phones.

calia carrie

These Essential Printed Panel Capris runs for $70.

 

carrie jacket

Her women’s Essential Fitness zip up Jacket is a big seller perhaps because of its slimming effect. It has wicking technology pulls moisture away from the skin and boasts a rapid evaporation time so you stay dry, cool and comfortable. It’s just $75-$85.

 

 

#CongratsSavannah: TODAY ‘s Pregnant Host Opts Out of Rio Brazil Coverage

guthrie

TODAY host Savannah Guthrie has opted out of covering the Rio Olympics this summer, per doctor’s orders.  The 44-year old and her husband Mike Feldman are expecting their second child.

#CongratsSavannah was trending on Twitter this morning after the host made the announcement this morning.

She gathered in her co-hosts by pretending to play a game of Tuesday Trending Fishbowl and drew the question, “Are You Pregnant” to which she answered, “Well yeah, I am pregnant.”

Feldman and her husband are parents to 21-month old Vale, who showed up on the set shortly after the announcement wearing a big sister shirt declaring her status. “I was here first,” her yellow shirt read.

vale-was-here-first-split-inline-today-160607_696ad05b61df6ccbc65ceeb03c7e2957.today-inline-large

This morning, Guthrie blogged about the news and “the thought of getting to add ” to her family now.

It “is beyond every hope, dream and prayer I have ever had. It is not simply double the joy — it is joy multiplied infinitely,” she wrote.

Given all the warnings about Zika virus in the Caribbean and South America, it was a no-brainer that she’d miss it.

“The doctors say that we shouldn’t because of the Zika virus so I’ll miss it,” Savannah said. “You’re going to have to go to female beach volleyball without me, Matt. Try to carry on.”

She’ll be busy with all the Presidential election circus anyway. ha! Congrats again!

 

 

 

 

Which Celeb Kid Threw the Best Shade at Papps?

celebrity shade

Children of celebrity are often stalked by the press, public, media and paparazzi.

Some kids are better able to handle all of the flashing lights than others. We thought it was adorably cute when a video of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s daughter North told papps “I said no pictures” while being pulled along by her nanny to ballet class one morning.

Over the years, we think in their prime, Prince George (Prince William and Duchess Catherine (nee Kate Middleton)’s son); Blue Ivy (Jay Z and Beyonce‘s daughter); and Suri Cruise (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmesb’ daughter) gave THE best Shade at the papps.

Who do you think, based on the pic above, gave the best shade in one photo?!

Is Aoki Lee What Happens When a Celeb Child Grows Being Called Ugly by Public?

aoki lee and ming lee simmons

Ming Lee and Aoki Lee Simmons plant a kiss on their dad Russell Simmons.

Kimora Lee Simmons first two children, daughters Aoki Lee and  Ming Lee have grown to be beautiful young ladies, but having grown in the overly critical public eye has not been easy. This is especially true considering the overemphasis of beauty for young women and how mean the public can be. Social media has been a blessing and curse for celebrities.

On one hand, it gives them access to fans and helps them prove their brand relevance and importance by enabling them to quantify fans.  It can be used as a tool to keep them famous and relevant. On the other hand, social media make it too easy to get direct contact with people in the public eye and along with the good of being able to show off their  filter-free and authentic selves, celebs also open a window and let in all the insecure, petty, jealous and downright meanies who love to troll and diss them too.

And people do not stop when it comes to commenting on the beauty of a celebrity child.

For example, I was doing some online research recently and bumped into Aoki Lee’s Instagram page. I immediately noticed that she doesn’t ever show her face in any of her photos. Now it could be because she wants to de-emphasize her looks seeing as though she is a self-described historian and coder on her page.

It is a contrast from her sister Ming who is as statuesque as their mom and is perfectly fine flossing and showing off her fab self and her fab life that goes with on her Instagram.

We like to drink tea ☕️ A photo posted by Ming Lee Simmons (@mingleesimmons) on

But then I thought that perhaps Aoki hides her face to shield herself from all the negativity that litters the comment section under celebrity social media pages. It’s the type of stuff that has led many to quit social media.

I remember bumping into a lot of shady comments about Kimora’s daughters’ looks on the gossip blogs.

simmons

Thus, there is no wonder some celebs elect to hide their children’s faces from the public. You’ve never even ever seen Kerry Washington or Eva Mendes’ children… ever.

And as I moved over to Ming Lee’s photo, I see that one of the first comments on a really beautiful beach photo comes from a couple of girls calling her ugly and talking bad about her looks.  Most people however reply about her beauty in most of her posts.

And that is a shame that all we care about is the attractiveness of famous people.

It also explains why Beyonce famously shielded her daughter Blue Ivy‘s face when she shared photos of her during her infancy to toddler years. Zoe Saldana is yet to share a photo of her twin boys, Cy and Bowie,  either. Over the pond, singer and TV presenter Rochelle Humes features many snaps of her daughter on Instagram but none of her face.

And those who do like Tia Mowry and Solange Knowles have found themselves having to snap back and put mean trolls in their place who called both their sons ugly, as recently as last year.

Celeb parents can do what they can as long as they can to shield their kids from public scrutiny for as long as possible. It is essential considering the kids never asked for the spotlight. But…the minute they grow into their own and open up their own social media account, they”ll have to face it on their own.

And Aoki’s faceless Instagram page could be an example of one outcome.
