To debut their luxe cosmetics brand, The Makeup, Dolce & Gabbana would settle for nothing less than one of Hollywood’s modern muses. And when it came time to launch their new scent Rose The One, they turned again to Scarlett Johansson, and are sharing with DIDNTINVITEME.com the sultry star’s print campaign. The actress couldn’t be happier with the appropriately rose-hued results, which were shot by Jean Baptiste Mondino, explaining in a statement that Mondino and designers “capture all of a woman’s graces, our quiet moments. That to me, is what makes this campaign so special, and it feel wonderful to have been a part of the collaboration.” The floral fragrance, which is the final launch in The One trilogy of scents for the Italian designers, will debut next month with prices starting at $60 for a 30 ml eau de parfum spray. Tell us: What do you think of Scarlett’s sexy campaign?

It looks like Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are more than just friendly costars.

Last Wednesday, as Cyrus bid Australian actor Liam Hemsworth goodbye at the Nashville airport, the two kissed – and were "full-on making out," says Alex Emanuel, a New York actor who was a few feet away from the couple and saw Cyrus, 16, act "as giddy as a schoolgirl."

Hemsworth jumped out of Cyrus's truck with his luggage and headed for the terminal doors when "she jumped into his arms and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him and leaned back and he was dipping her," says Emanuel. "It was like a scene out of an old movie where the guy's getting on a train and they're saying their goodbyes."

The two actors recently wrapped the film The Last Song (also starring Kelly Preston and Greg Kinnear) in Tybee, Georgia, and attended the film's wrap party together on Aug. 16.

According to Cyrus' Twitter posts, she is maintaining her single status. "I do not have a boyfriend," she writes.

But she says shhe's been teaching Hemsworth a thing or two about Southern eats. "@mommytish and @auntedi and I are introducing the aussie to cracker barrel!!! Yummyyy :)" Cyrus wrote about taking Hemsworth to the restaurant chain.

She also revealed they like to stay in and nosh in front of the TV. Her Aug. 14th Tweet: "I kinda want to go see 'The Time Traveler's Wife' but I think I'll just sit around and eat sushi and watch "Liar Liar" with Liam :)"

Cyrus' publicist had no comment.

Mary J. Blige is a survivor in the video for “Stronger,” the lead single from the soundtrack to the LeBron James’ documentary More Than a Game, in stores Sept. 22. The song can also be found on MJB’s new album of the same name.

Hip-hop power couple Ashanti and Nelly are reportedly going their separate ways.


The New York Daily News reports that the lovers split because Ashanti wanted to get married, while Nelly wasn’t ready to settle down. The “Country Grammar” rapper was rumored to be seen with model-actress Melyssa Ford in Las Vegas and Miami.

Ashanti and Nelly began dating nearly six years ago. “I met her at the MTV [Video Music] Awards one year,” Nelly told Rap-Up in 2008. “And we just exchanged numbers and we started talking and stuff like that, and we just started hanging out.”

When asked about marriage at the time, he said, “Right now, we not thinking about that. It’s just all about the work.”

No official confirmation has been made from either camp.

Some fans are upset to say the least with the new GQ tribute to Michael Jackson. Fans on Michael Jackson messageboards are angry with what the cover suggests, that somehow due to the personal struggles that the singer endured that in some way took away from his talent and the impact that he has had on music, thus making him less cool or uncool. Even Jermaine Dupri has taken to his twitter to voice his displeasure with the tribute saying,

'LIFERS THIS IS HOW THE F----G GQ ARTICAL STARTS /BACK IN THE DAY Before the weirdness claimed his legacy, WOW TRIBUTE MY A--.

Keri Hilson is taking things nice and slow in the video for the latest single off her debut album In a Perfect World…


Miss Keri shot the video for “Slow Dance” this week in Los Angeles with Chris Robinson, who directed “Knock You Down” and R. Kelly’s “Number One,” in which she co-stars.

Robinson explained the concept to DIDNTINVITEME. “It’s a really sexy song, but we don’t want to fall into the typical love, love, love R&B vibe with that,” he revealed. “So it’s a misdirection, so to speak. I won’t give too much away, but it starts where you think, ‘Oh, it’s about her and being sexy.’”

But things take an unexpected turn when Hilson’s friends catch her feeling herself a little too much. “She’s in her house and by herself, and you kind of think it could be serious, but the song drops out in the middle and her friends catch her being all sexy, basically like, ‘What the f**k are you doing? You are not singing by yourself.’”

The twist portrays her as a woman who doesn’t take herself too seriously. “Keri Hilson has a great personality and is a real girl. That’s what we want to get across.”

Cameos include Chris Brown, Omarion, Monica, Polow Da Don, & Melody Thornton. Love interest for Keri is newcomer Marlon Yates!!!

Just weeks ago Solange Knowles caused an internet buzz when she shaved off her long hair into a natural, closely-cropped cut. And now Tyra Banks reveals on her Twitter that she is gearing up to go natural and lose her extensions. “Guess What! I’m rockin’ my REAL hair on my talk show September 8th.” she says. “No fake hair at all! Will be the hair coming out of my scalp! 4 all 2 C!” She continues, “no ponytails, no ballet bun head. hair will be out and free!” We are setting our TVs to record now!

We can’t wait to hear these collaborations!

With all the socializing the actors of The Twilight Saga are doing in Vancouver, it's easy to forget that the cast is cranking out two feature films this year. But the second trailer Summit Entertainment has released of New Moon proves they've been hard at work.

Taylor Lautner narrates the action-packed trailer, which features glimpses of the 17-year-old actor shirtless, showing off the chiseled torso he worked on to land the role of Jacob.

"Jacob has changed in a lot of different ways," Lautner says in the trailer. "He's bigger, he's 30 pounds bigger!"

The actor, who is currently with the cast in Vancouver and set to begin filming Eclipse, says his physique isn't the only thing in New Moon that's different from Twilight.

"New Moon is a lot more complicated than Twilight was," he says. "As time goes on, the heat starts building. New Moon is going to be stepped up a whole other notch. There's going to be a lot more action, especially with the werewolves involved."

He adds, "I think the fans are really going to be happy."

Britney Spears hasn't appeared on The Late Show in nearly three years, but Tonight she'll deliver one of the show's classic bits: the Top 10 list.

Spears last appeared on David Letterman's show when she made a surprise cameo in November 2006. The singer, who recently finished the European leg of her Circus tour, begins another string of concerts in America on Aug. 20.

No need for her castmates to do any digging! The outspoken Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes is coming right out with a revelation from her past: She was a stripper. And she’s not ashamed.
In her new memoir, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, in stores now, the reality star opens up about her struggles with abusive relationships and the trials she endured. At one point, Leakes writes in a chapter called “What You Won’t Do, You’ll Do For Love,” she took a job as a stripper at an Atlanta club.

“Yes, I was a stripper, a woman who took her clothes off and danced for dollars,” she writes. “Let the judgment ensue. I mean, it’s easy enough to do, right?”

Leakes explains that she had just ended her relationship with the father of her eldest son, Brice, and she was living with her son and a roommate. “My son was in private school, his father wasn’t chipping in for pull-ups or food, I had no job and no money coming in, the rent was past due, and the super told me and my roommate that our condo owner was about to put us out,” she writes. “So I did what I had to do.”

After answering an ad in the newspaper, Leakes nabbed the job at “the most glamorous upscale gentlemen’s club in Georgia” on the spot – though she didn’t have any experience taking off her clothes or dancing in public.

Following a learning curve — and some very lurid details about her costumes and fellow dancers — the Atlanta Housewives star, who performed under the name “Silk,” writes that she came to feel comfortable and powerful on stage. “I felt powerful in front of those men,” she writes. “They were obviously there to see what I had, and I quickly realized that those men weren’t there to make me feel bad about myself.”

“Quite the contrary,” she continues. “They were there to make me feel good.”
Still, Leakes reveals that career as a dancer took a darker turn for a time. She quit the high-profile club after her family heard about her dancing and worked at a seedier establishment. “Men can do some really filthy things in the club,” she writes. “I can tell you this much.”

After quitting her job there, Leakes says she returned to another upscale establishment but eventually met her now-husband, Gregg, who persuaded her to stop dancing. “He was good to me,” she writes.
So, does Leakes regret her dancing past? Not at all. She calls the experience “the ultimate power trip,” explaining that it built up her self-esteem. “With every piece of clothing I took off, the more I got my life back,” she writes. “I worked this body like a well-oiled machine, and every movement got me closer to my goal of financial independence for me and my child.”

For Céline Dion, getting pregnant with her second child means more than any Grammy award, platinum album or sold-out Vegas show.

"You know, I'm not really a singer," Dion told PEOPLE in 2007. "My life is to be a mom. It is what I enjoy the most. I will take a chance with my music. I don't take risks with my family."

To that end, the singer, 41 and her husband, René Angélil, 67, tried to have their first baby for six years before turning to in vitro fertilization. The fertility treatment was successful and the couple welcomed their first child together, Réne-Charles, now 8, in 2001. They also saved frozen embryos from that treatment.
"We'll try and hope for the best," Dion said at the time. "If it's given to us again, we'll be more than blessed."

Now that the family is expecting a new addition, Réne-Charles will assume the role of big brother – something he's been planning on for some time.

"I've asked him if [he prefers] a little boy or a little girl," the singer has said. "He said, 'a little sister.'"

Boy or girl, baby No. 2 is all Dion could ask for. Motherhood, said the star, "is my most amazing reward."

Day 26 member Willie Taylor has gone on the record about an alleged leaked nude photo that surfaced a few days ago. He is not denying that the face in the photo is him, but that the act in question was photoshopped. Here’s the full statement: So there it is.

“It is very unfortunate that someone would try to degrade my name by posting a fake photoshop image of myself on the internet holding what is alleged to be my penis. The alleged picture is my face, but the holding the penis part is not.
I am a man that has a family and have a tremendous amount of respect for myself, my son, my group and all of my fans across the world and I would never put them through such a predicament. So, in a nut shell, that picture is not me.”

In other news, Willie and his group, Day 26, have released a video album today, entitled “Forever In Your Eyes”. It is available digitally through iTunes and is led by the official single “So Good”.

Hello, hello, hello, aloha. Fat Joe, clad in a Hawaiian shirt, basked in the Miami heat while shooting the video for “Aloha,” the new single off his ninth solo album J.O.S.E. 2 (Oct. 6) featuring Pleasure P and Rico Love.
