Beyonce behind the scenes of her new music video-- Freelance model/photographer/retoucher Felice Fawn defends and provides proof of her Facebook conversation with Terry Richardson, which (not surprisingly) perpetuated his sleazy image.

Some Thoughts on Justin Bieber’s Love Cover

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

Justin Bieber's Vanity Fair cover was only the beginning. The teenage pop phenomenon has affirmatively infiltrated the fashion magazine world, snagging the alternative cover to Kate Moss and Lea T's version of Love's androgynous issue. Terry Richardson shot the 16 year-old, whose gender seems to have saved him from the photographer's sexually-hyped signature. Here are some burning questions I had when I came across the cover:

What is with the robotic-borderline-serial-killer expression?
 
Will someone hire him a real hair stylist?

Items Du Jour: Natalie for Dior, Sasha for Miu Miu, Leighton for Missoni

Quote of the Day: Anja Rubik on Terry Richardson

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Models, Rumors,

Anja Rubik as Hermes in the 2011 Pirelli calendar

"Only because I know he would push it a little bit more, in a way that would be very naked and I know that I wouldn’t go there probably. So that’s why it was stupid to accept the challenge because I thought I wouldn’t be capable. And you think...how it’s going to come out, because he has a different kind of take of that, a little bit more on the edge of, you know, I don’t want to say vulgar but on the very, very slight edge of it. There were supposed to be a lot of girls and he likes to shoot a lot of girls with girls and I just didn’t think I’d feel comfortable, that’s why."

-- Model Anja Rubik, who appears in Karl Lagerfeld's 2011 Pirelli calendar, on why she turned down fashion photographer Terry Richardson's Pirelli calendar the year before.

Terry Richardson shoots Christina Hendricks for Harper's Bazaar

In what is slowly becoming the infamous interview in which defends her Christian Siriano dress from the vicious words of Cathy Horyn, the television starlet also happens to have a gorgeous, fierce editorial that seems to match her attitude.

Terry Richardson shot Hendricks for Harper’s Bazaar (more pictures after the jump), who wears classic, tailored looks from Stella McCartney, , Yves Saint Laurent, and Dior in the spread.

I’m really glad that he didn’t resort to using food as suggestive props again!
