Billboard Music Awards Worst Dressed

The Billboard Music Awards were last night, and I don’t know because I’ve already stopped caring. Suffice it to say, the fashion certainly reflected the general milieu of the evening, “crap.” Leading the charge was Madonna, in a unfortunate combination of netting and no shame. Not since the days of The Heart Break Kid Sean Michaels have I seen such blatant display of crotch-centricity. Fail.

Angelina Jolie had a Double Mastectomy and Other News

Angelina Jolie double mastectomy

In a New York Times op-ed piece called “My Medical Choice,” Angelina Jolie revealed that she underwent a double mastectomy after genetic tests showed she had an 87% risk of developing the breast cancer that killed her mother at age 56. People Magazine says:

The 37-year-old actress had the surgery in February and completed the last of the follow-up procedures in April.

“I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy,” says Jolie in the column appearing Tuesday. “But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”

Jolie, who has six children with Brad Pitt, says the actor was at her side every step of the way.

“I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive,” she writes. “So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition.”

Pitt was with her “for every minute of the surgeries,” and even during the difficult times, “We managed to find moments to laugh together.”

“We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has,” she writes.

Jolie describes in detail her surgery and follow-up procedures, including receiving implants, and that now her children “see nothing that makes them uncomfortable.”

“They can see my small scars and that’s it,” she writes. “Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can.

“On a personal note,” she continues, “I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

I just hoped they kept a tight reign on whoever cleaned up after the surgeries, because I have a feeling genuine Angelina Jolie breast tissue would make a mint on eBay. I know the fake Angelina Jolie breast tissue I put up last week broke twenty bucks before the jerks made me take it down.

SI Covergirl Kate Upton in Vogue

Kate Upton’s photo shoot in the June issue of Vogue has a real “Eva Herzigova in her Wonderbra heyday” look about it, and it really works for her. It’s a lot better than her photo shoot for V magazine, which had more of a “would you like us to stay on the line until help arrives” feel to it.

Suri Cruise Launches a $3 Million Clothing Line and Other News

Suri Cruise, the seven-year-old celebrity offspring of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is reportedly launching her own clothing line this fall in New York. The Sun says:

The daughter of Tom Cruise has just inked a £1.5million deal and her label has been imaginatively named Suri.

If successful, the Suri brand will be rolled out in shops across North America next year.

The line will cover everything from dresses, tops and jeans to shoes and accessories.

Plans for a fashion range have been in the pipeline since last year, after several firms approached Katie.

The initial idea was for Suri to have a fashion blog, but the concept was extended after she started to talk about special designs for her clothes.

It seems a bit much, a seven-year-old with a fashion line, but if the Kardashians and Avril Lavigne can “design” clothes, then a second-grader is probably more than qualified.
