Rihanna’s no stranger to racy pictures. However, they’ve become even more outlandish lately. Aside from an "accidental" nip-slip pic a few days ago, RiRi has recently posted pics of her insane time a Coachella last weekend. The Instagram photos included her mounted atop her bodyguard's shoulders, and rolling what appears to be a joint off his bald head. Say what?! Another pic featured her partying with Snoop Dogg and Warren G with "thug life" written on her stomach. Both sets of pictures appeared to contain a certain smokeable substance. She deleted the post shortly after, but not before thousands of her followers commented on what they assumed the substance was. Under the photo she posted the quote, "Memories don't live like people do #coachella.”
Fashion Week is notoriously known for having an infestation of who’s who in the industry; with a-list style enthusiasts among the large crowd of important people. With 100-and-something-thousand people attending this whirlwind, where does one even begin looking to spot these show stoppers?
Here at Joonbug, we have come up with 3 magnetic force fields that celebrities and models never fail to gravitate towards.
First on our list: The Front Row at Lincoln Center. Anyone who is anyone will be sitting in this V.I.P section of the shows. It’s a perfect place to look for well-known fashion editors, celebrities, other designers and fellow model competition. Though getting to this roped off gold mine is impossible, on-lookers will have just as great a view of them as they do on the show itself. Let’s face it; the front row seats are just as much a part of the show as the collections being presented. And a quick tip with that note, study what they are wearing as well! The front row’s fashion sense is usually very complimentary to what is in style at the moment or trends that will start coming our way. Even if you don't have access to the shows, you can stake out near the tents and check out who's going in and out. It's worth a shot to get a glimpse of your favorite designer/model/star.
Last month, New York Times Magazine gathered the year's best film performers to create a short series of beautifully chilling videos directed by Alex Prager called A Touch Of Evil. Killers, crooks and crazies are just a few of the villianous archetypes that were selected and portrayed by our favorite actors. (Watch the whole series here.)
There's Brad Pitt as the madman, where he says he was channeling ‘‘Peter Lorre — with a dose of Kramer.’’ He was praised last year for Moneyball and The Tree of Life. Mia Wasikowska becomes and axe-weilding home wrecker reminiscent of The Shining. Her best performances include Albert Nobbs, Jane Eyre and Restless. Rooney Mara, leading "lady" in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, dresses as the sociopathic Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Gary Oldman imitates a creepy ventriloquist dummy in his spooky spot. Quite a different role from his performance in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
That’s a naked man...oh, no wait a sec!
While spending some time at her Scotland vacation home, actress Emma Thompson received a surprise call from the local police. The police had informed Emma that there was a naked male intruder seen running around her property.
As you may guess, the Nanny McPhee star was terrified to think that there was a crazy, nude man threatening the safety of her family. Her fear quickly turned to embarrassment when her daughter realized that it wasn’t man her neighbor had seen...it was her mother!!
Every year, Art Basel seems to become more packed with A-listers. This year's 10th Anniversary event was no exception. Maybe they like the warm respite from your typical December weather. Or maybe it's the exclusive dinners, events and parties. Or maybe it's because they are some of the few that can afford to drop serious dough on the expensive art pieces for sale (especially in this economy). Here is a sampling of the more famous actors, models, designers, socialites and of course artists spotted at this year's festivities.
The Exclusive Ferrari-fueled party at the top of 1111 Lincoln attracted the likes of Flo Rida, Solange Knowles, Val Kilmer and a surprise performance by Janelle Monae.
With your hipstamatic prints, you’re able to capture everything. You’ve even been asked to photograph your niece’s birth. (Why you’d want to capture that, we’re not sure...)

Photographer Annie Leibovitz has been working with Disney to bring us our favorite characters reimagined as celebrities. She was called in to do a project called the Year of a Million Dreams campaign. Her photos are, as always, fantastic, and she works extremely hard to bring the original scenes to life.
The real draw, however, is the huge celebrity cast and costumes. Leibovitz has JLo and Marc Anthony and Princess Jasmine and Aladdin, soaring high on a magic carpet in homage to the “A Whole New World” world scene of the movie. Jennifer’s costume breaks away from Jasmine’s blue, but the gold accentuates her skin tone and highlights the sunset Leibovitz carefully captures in the background. Penelope Cruz poses majestically in Belle’s yellow ballgown, lifted by Jeff Bridges as The Beast against an ominous background. Olivia Wilde is Snow White’s frightening evil step-mother with Alec Baldwin as the Magic Mirror. Snow White herself is Rachel Weisz.
This is Not Porn collects some of the most charming and previously unseen photos of celebrities and legends. From presidents to famous authors to musicians, the array of pictures is overwhelming. Little is known about the original photographers or the whens, wheres, or hows of the photos taken besides what the pictures themselves tell us. It’s a minimalist site that simply displays these rarely seen moments in celebrities lives.
Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn, Ernest Hemingway, John F. Kennedy, James Dead, John Lennon, Marlon Brando, Freddie Mercury, and Heath Ledger are only a few of the giants captured in these old photos. Ranging from hilarious to bittersweet, there is something about these pictures so plainly presented that evokes strong emotions from their viewers.
