Sources Say Chris Rock’s Oscars Joke About Jada Pinkett Smith Not In The Script
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MediaNews Group/Boston Herald via Getty Images / Getty The ongoing controversy stemming from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars has gained more fuel, as it has been revealed that the joke that started it all wasn’t in the official script.

There’s a New Diamond of the Season: Meet Bridgerton Actress Charithra Chandran
Chandran’s road to Bridgerton was not without a plot twist worthy of a show itself, though. “Oh my God, it is a very complicated story. At the time, it was filled with lots of dread, but obviously, it’s worth it now and maybe worth it for the cool story,” she exhales, preparing to recount her lengthy audition process. “I first auditioned for the role of Kate back in November 2020 before the first season even came out [and] when the first trailer had literally just dropped. My agent was like, ‘I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but I have attached a trailer to this new show. Let me know what you think. They want you to audition.’ I saw it and was in love. I thought, ‘Oh my God, firstly, this is so fucking cool. Secondly, this is just going to be a megahit.’ So I auditioned in November, had a...
J.Lo Wore the Jeans-and-Tee Combo Perfected By French Women
Although it’s completely true that there’s nothing we love more than a full-blown Jennifer Lopez look (we’re talking about her iconic Versace jungle dress and, more recently, her bridal minidress by Giambattista Valli), it would be wrong for us to discount the Hustlers star’s more laid-back outfits. After all, whether it be a sundress or joggers, J.Lo really can make anything look good. Her latest one is no exception. While out and about in L.A., Lopez was spotted wearing the easygoing denim look that French girls have been donning for decades. Specifically, she combined a basic white T-shirt with high-rise, wide-leg jeans à la Jane Birkin back in the 1970s. Keeping with the theme, she added a pair of sky-high ...

Okay, I Can’t Get Over the Thigh-High Slit in Lily James’s Oscars Dress
After a few virtual award-show seasons, I couldn’t be more excited for the 2022 Academy Awards. Of all of the glamorous gowns I’ve seen so far, one look has really stolen my heart. Lily James, the star of the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, hit the carpet wearing a stunning light-pink Atelier Versace gown. The dainty dress with elegant lace detailing looks as pretty as it sounds, and James paired it with a gorgeous diamond necklace and matching pink Versace platform heels. When I first saw this look, my heart stopped. James looks like an absolute princess, but what really takes this gown to the next level is the thigh-high slit. This slit comes all the way up James’s thigh, showing her bubblegum-pink platforms and amazing legs. T...

Kendall Jenner Just Endorsed This Affordable Spring Trouser Trend
In the last year, arguably no fashion item has been spotted more times on the A-list crowd than leather trousers. From Gigi Hadid to Rihanna, the celebrities who rule Hollywood’s street style scene can’t seem to get enough of the sleek alternative to jeans (and we can’t blame them).

Now, we can’t think of anything else. For the occasion, Jenner styled a Y2K-esque long camisole (the sort that was once rife at Tammy Girl) with a pair of ultra-flare leather t...

To slightly trend it up, she added a pair of semi-sporty sunglasses from Balenciaga and her usual body chain, but...
