Estréia mundial de clipe: E.T - Katy Perry

Acaba de estreiar E.T. Em entrevista para a MTV, a cantora explicou que se arriscou criativamente para compor o conceito do clipe de "E.T.".

"Com o álbum 'Teenage Dream' eu quis mostrar diversos sabores, ideas e realmente fazer um filme diferente para cada canção. Eu acho que conquistei isso. É interessante os comentários que conquistei com o meu amadurecimento. As pessoas agora dizem 'detesto admitir, mas estou no trem Katy Perry'. E eu trabalhei muito duro para que isso acontecesse. Estou me divertindo muito e explorando minha veia criativa. Eu nunca jogo seguro", disse.

 A noite, os fãs poderão assistir a um pequeno documentário "MTV First: Katy Perry's 'E.T.'" que contará com entrevistas com a diretora do clipe Floria Sigismondi e Katy Perry.

Veja o clipe:

"Não queria prejudicá-lo ainda mais profissionalmente", diz Rihanna sobre suspensão da ordem de restrição imposta a Chris Brown

Rihanna contou a revista Rolling Stone porque concordou com a suspensão da restrição imposta ao ex-namorado Chris Brown – parte da pena imposta ao cantor após ser condenado de agressão.

"Foi uma decisão que eu tomei. Isso não quer dizer que vamos nos casar, ficar juntos novamente ou até nos falar. O que ele fez comigo faz parte da vida pessoal dele. Não tem nada a ver com a carreira. Ele ser proibido de fazer performances [por estar próximo a ela] com certeza dificultou as coisas. Não precisamos nos falar nunca mais, mas não quis prejudicá-lo profissionalmente", disse.

Ainda durante a conversa com o jornalista Josh Eells, Rihanna contou ainda que gosta de ser amarrada durante suas relações íntimas. "Ser submissa no quarto é divertido. Você pode deixar o controle nas mãos de outra pessoa. Ser amarrada, apanhar de leve é divertido. Gosto de ser espontânea", disse revelando ainda que o clipe de "S&M" é quase autobiográfico.

"Deveria ser difícil ser um artista", diz Miley Cyrus sobre desconhecidos que ganham fama através da internet

Miley Cyrus não gosta nada nada de artistas que nasceram através do YouTube. Em entrevista publicada pelo site Fox News, a ex-Hannah Montana disse que "deveria ser difícil ser artista".

"As pessoas não poderiam simplesmente colocar uma música no YouTube e fazer uma turnê", respondeu Miley quando perguntada sobre o que achava do sucesso de Justin Bieber e Rebecca Black. Miley é, inclusive, adversa a qualquer rede social: "Não tenho Twitter, nem faço parte de uma rede social; Tento ficar fora disso. Eu já reclamo bastante das pessoas sabendo demais da minha vida privada, estar na web e explorar minha imagem seria hipocrisia", comentou.

Durante a entrevista, Miley também criticou artistas que usam o playback em shows ao vivo. "Eu nunca dublo as músicas. Eu prefiro que alguém diga que eu sou uma porcaria de cantora do que me verem só mexendo os lábios".

Miley se prepara para a etapa sul-americana da sua turnê "Can't Be Tamed". A cantora, que também vem ao Brasil, passa por Equador e Peru em abril/maio.

Maria Sharapova-Hot Wallpapers

Celebrity Maria Sharapova
Latest Wallpapers & Biography

Date of Birth- 19 April 1987, Nyagan, Khanty-Mansi AO, Tyumen Oblast, Russian SFSR, USSR [now Russia]
Birth Name- Mariya Yurevna Sharapova
Nickname- Masha, The Siberian Siren
Height- 6' 2" (1.88 m)

Nothing's hotter than a toned-to-perfection body, which is precisely why Maria Sharapova ranks high on hotness scale. Tennis athletes have long, lean, muscular bodies and Maria Sharapova's is no exception. Add to that her golden-blond locks and gem-like green eyes and this Russian beauty doesn't only make jaws drop on the courts.

Like many women who originate from Russia, Maria Sharapova has been blessed with magnificent features. Her face is the epitome of classical beauty. She has long blond hair, and even longer legs. This 6'2" stunner definitely doesn't leave many empty seats in the stands.
"My drive and determination comes from my Russian blood," says the 16-year-old, now attracting attention for her glamour as well as her game. However, despite her fashion photo-shoots she rejects any comparison with another Russian, Anna Kournikova.

A - Z Spring style!

All-Day Pajamas

This spring, you will welcome more than just warm weather. You will also welcome beautiful, comfortable clothes that make you feel like you're dressed up in pajamas all day. Say hello to flowy peasant tops, wide-leg silhouettes, sheer layers and mixed prints.

By Malene Birger Flachet Peasant Blouse ($79.50 at TheOutnet)

Biker-Chic Vests

The moto-biker trend has been around for a few seasons now, and it's still in style. You can keep your leather jacket on the hanger because this spring, we're going to try sleeveless. To keep it feminine, pair it with neutral pieces, or try a flirty dress layered underneath.

Robert Rodriguez Robbi & Nikki Herringbone Biker Vest ($175 at Zappos Couture)

Crochet

Crochet, lace, macrame... All of these dainty, embroidered patterns are on point this season, and they are decidedly un-frumpy. (Seriously, do not insert snarky tablecloth or bed-cover remark here.) We like the crochet cardigan in particular because it's lightweight and versatile -- kind of like the springtime equivalent of winter's go-to cashmere sweaters.

Paul & Joe Crochet Cardigan ($340 at Net-A-Porter)

Down-to-the-Floor Dresses

Thank you, spring 2011, for bringing back the trend Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe started -- the effortlessly fabulous boho style. Maxi dresses are back this season. Wear them printed, in nude shades or with a '70s-inspired halter neck.

Quiksilver Maxi Dress ($59.90 at Quiksilver)

Evening Jumpsuits

On the more daring side of spring's fashion trends: the evening jumpsuit. Rompers to sleep in are harmless. Rompers to frolic in during the day are doable. Rompers made of sumptuous silk to wear out at night sound downright scary though. But, when they are so beautifully made and luxuriously soft, they might just convince us to give them a try.

Reiss Silk Jumpsuit ($206.50 at Reiss)

Full Skirts

Perfect to wear to a picnic, fitting for a romantic dinner and a movie, exactly right for dancing... The full skirt is having a moment, so put away your minis this season, ladies. Twirl around with a beautiful skirt that boasts a longer hemline and more fabric.

Mango Ditsy Skirt ($62.58 at ASOS)

Garden Floral

Is it warm out? Throw on a floral snood or scarf, and add a floppy hat and some sandals. You get to feel glamorous and be in the sun -- that's the best kind of mood-lifter.

Pink Spring Floral Print Snood ($32 at Topshop)

High-Waisted Bell Bottoms

If there has ever been an item of clothing to worship, it's the J. Brand Love Story jean. The super flare, paired with stacked brown boots or sky-high sandals, makes them universally flattering, and they're so comfortable you will never want or need to take them off. We promise.

J. Brand Love Story Jeans ($178 at Bloomingdales)

Intricate Jewelry

Jewelry trends this year, summed up: The bigger/bolder, the better. Try geometric shapes, play around with ropes and chains and always say yes to tassels.

Radiant Medallion Tassel Earrings ($58 at Ann Taylor)

Jangles of Bangles

An armful of bangles never goes out of style. And since our jewelry motto this season is bigger, bolder, and better, we're going to forgo silver and try out some alternatives, like stacks of wooden or colorful bracelets mixed with gold.

Mixed Bangle Pack ($30 at Topshop)

Kimono Sleeves

There is something alluring about a kimono sleeve. It's subtly sensual, and we just love the allusion of a traditional Japanese dress. Try a flowy cardigan in an exotic print, or wear a detailed tunic over black leggings.

Embroidered Top ($24.80 at Forever 21)

Ladylike

Even though we've mentioned biker-inspired pieces, armfuls of bangles, and other non-ladylike trends, this spring is actually a time of celebration for ladies. Feminine blouses, pencil skirts and pretty pumps are in season as always, so flaunt that girl power!

Nine West Noella Ruffle Pump ($99 at Nine West)

Mixing Prints

Throw the rulebook out the window -- no black and brown, no black and blue, no prints and prints? Prints over prints have somehow become fashionable this spring with restraint, of course. Don't wear leopard print with zebra print -- actually, don't mix animal prints at all. But, you can experiment with stripes and dots.

Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Tie Belt ($185 at TheOutnet)

Neutrals and Nudes

A personal favorite for us is wearing beautiful, neutral pieces. A nude dress will not be defined by its color, but rather by its construction or silhouette. A nude boot will subtly elongate the legs. Find something you love and invest. The best part is, neutrals last forever.

Fergalicious Utopia Pumps ($34.99 at Famous Footwear)

Orange

So you can't have an entire closetful of nude-colored clothing. This spring, why not try orange? Yes, you aren't likely to wear orange trousers or an orange blouse often, so experiment with accessories like shoes and bags.

High Fashion 4939 Tote in Orange ($198 at Lori's Shoes)

Peasant Dresses

Peasant dresses easily top the list for accessible bohemian-chic style. They are comfortable, adorable and can easily transition from day to night. Every fashionista should have one ready for a special occasion this season.

Belted Peasant Dress ($59 at Arden B)

Quartz

Quartz crystals are semi-precious gemstones that come in the colors of the rainbow. They can be made edgy (a la Pamela Love), or delicately refined (like Coralia Leets). Pick up the gem in your favorite color and wear it all season long.

Pamela Love Cobra Sterling Silver Quartz Necklace ($230 at Net-A-Porter)

Rosegold

Another accessory trend for the spring is rosegold, a red- or pink-tinted hue that adds an unexpected oomph. You can go big with a chunky watch or geometric bangle, or subtle with stud earrings or a pair of shades.

Just Cavalli Aviator Sunglasses ($215 at Endless)

Seventies

By now, it probably goes without saying that this spring is a hardcore '70s flashback. Take a style cue from Penny (Almost Famous), and stock up on white dresses, halter tops, flared jeans, and big round sunglasses!

Embroidered Halter Top ($165 at Nordstrom)

Tassels on Bags

Tassels, fringe, all things that dangle and have bohemian flair = so hot right now. We like the trend on bags because they achieve the look without also making us seem like we're trying too hard.

Elaine Turner Stacy Suede Hobo ($162 at National Jean Company)

Understated Underthings

This one should go without saying... But since sheer layers are so popular this season, we think it's perfectly rational to splurge on a special something to wear underneath.

Juicy Couture Cami Short Set ($88 at Net-A-Porter)

Vibrant Colors

Show off your shape this spring with a pretty dress in a pretty color, like pink, yellow or blue. Actually, whatever color you like! Hello, color overdose. See you later, drab winter closet.

Jersey Cross-Front Maxi Dress ($29.50 at Old Navy)

White Eyelet

Gasp! This is not the season of LBDs? What's a girl to do?! It's the season of LWDs (little white dresses). You can add an E between the W and the D for little white eyelet dresses to be specific. We saw them at Dolce & Gabbana, and we haven't looked back since.

White Eyelet Dress ($44.50 at Delias)

Xtreme Colorblocking

Okay, so there's no way a normal person can pull of this season's crazy color-clashing Prada looks, but you can wear the trend toned down (or as toned down as colorblocking can be!) with an attention-grabbing alternative.

Jonathan Saunders Block-Color Jersey T-Shirt Dress ($93 at TheOutnet)

You

This goes without saying -- no matter the season, no matter the trend, you should always incorporate you into the mix. Wear the pieces that flatter your body, your tone and your personality. You can never go wrong.

Zesty Accessories

So you've probably got it in your head by now that bright colors are the way to go this season. But if you still aren't convinced you can wear a bright pink dress or orange sandals, then why not try bringing the zest with your accessories? A fun belt or bold-hued jewelry is certainly enough to spice up your work outfit for day and guaranteed to make you the life of the party at night.

Kenneth Jay Lane Enamel Necklace ($225 at Zappos)

Spring wardrobe needs

The Colors of the Rainbow

Don't be intimidated by bright hues like yellow, green, red and blue this spring. Mix and match them (to a point -- don't go too crazy now) or wear the bold colors with this season's tried-and-true neutrals.


Halston Heritage Silk-Satin Shirt Dress ($147.50 at TheOutnet)


Miu Miu Polka-Dot Silk Crepe de Chine Scarf ($245 at Net-A-Porter)


Red Frill Bandeau Top ($55 at Topshop)


Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Tapered Satin Pants ($101.25 at TheOutnet)

 

A sandal that boasts both height and comfort? Fashionistas can't ask for anything more! This season, the "flatform" has been born in the form of chunky sandals that will go great with maxi dresses, full skirts and flared jeans.


Wynn Black Suede Wooden Platform Wedges ($135 at Topshop)

 

 

Unconventional Trenches

Your classic trench coat will never go out of style, but a new trench trend is entering the mix this spring. Not only will they come in baby-doll and cropped versions, you can also wear them as dresses.

ASOS Swing Back Trench ($116.55 at ASOS)

ASOS Maternity Double-Breasted Trench Detail Dress ($60.07 at ASOS)

ASOS Short Buckle Cape ($86.06 at ASOS)

Envelope Bags

Although you can't fit too much into an envelope bag, they'll be a go-to carrier this season. Perhaps this is your cue to purge your purse? That wouldn't be such a bad idea!

ASOS Boxy Flat Lock Clutch ($28.69 at ASOS)

Orange Contrast Leather Pushlock Satchel ($100 at Topshop)

Ciara Sport Envelope Clutch ($95 at Last Call)

Wide-Leg Trousers

With the flashback of '70s style this spring, don't forget to get yourself a pair of wide-leg pants. Both denim and trousers will be "in" this season.

Twenty8Twelve '70s Jack Flared Jeans ($145 at MyTheresa)

Apricot Wide-Leg Trousers ($90 at Topshop)

Blue Linen Wide-Leg Trousers ($80 at Topshop)

Super Stripes

Although stripes don't work for everyone, you can work the trend into your wardrobe multiple ways this season. Try a maxi dress, a purse, even shoes! Which way works best on you?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Cream/Bright Yellow Multi-Stripe Silk Dress ($685 at Stylebop)

Coach Poppy Legacy Stripe Glam Tote ($228 at Lord & Taylor)

Isabel Toledo for Payless Striped T-Strap Vespadrille ($59.99 at Payless)

Full Skirts

We couldn't be more excited for the return of the full-skirt trend. Not only is it super-pretty and ladylike, it is also universally flattering.

Independent Press Skirt in Navy ($49.99 at ModCloth)

Vintage Game Room Skirt ($34.99 at ModCloth)

Recut Classic Skirt ($64.99 at ModCloth)

 

Snazzy Sweats

We've showed you how to dress up a $7-pair of sweatpants... (How's that going, by the way?) Now, we're suggesting you add "dressy" sweats to your spring wardrobe. They're snazzy and with the right jewelry and footwear, can look so on trend.

Diesel Cowl Neck Sweat Dress ($161.37 at ASOS)

A.L.C. Trouser Sweatpants in Charcoal Heather ($335 at Blue and Cream)

VPL Aluvion Sweat in Charcoal ($225 at Blue and Cream)

 

Antique Accessories

Inherited grandma's hand-me-downs? Scour vintage shops like a champ? Or, just have an affinity for all things old? You're lucky -- vintage jewelry is still hot this season. From the '20s to the '70s, incorporate something old or borrowed into your wardrobe this season. And if you don't have anything from the past, not to worry -- there are antique-inspired finds out there, too.

Burnished Medallion Necklace ($88 at Ann Taylor)

ASOS Vintage Style Structured Enamel Drop Earrings ($14.34 at ASOS)

Secret Garden Bracelet ($8.80 at Forever 21)

Crop Tops

Wear a cute crop with drawstring trousers, cropped khakis or this season's "it" denim. Dress it up with a pair of pumps and the right accessories, or keep it casual with flats and a laidback attitude.

Dohosan Cropped Shirt ($100 at All Saints)

Pale Blue Crop Tab Sleeve Shirt ($70 at Topshop)

Cropped Button Up Top ($15.80 at Forever 21)

Chic Capris

They're not the sloppy capris our lazy selves have grown to love (in secret). These cropped trousers are more chic than what we've seen. Even better, they're just as comfy! You'll be proud to sport these to the office.

Relaxed Utility Capri Pants ($78 at Ann Taylor)

Resin Wrist Candy

Stacking bangles is still hot this season, but there's a new twist. Mix plastic bracelets in with your gold and silver, and you've got yourself an easy update.

Kenneth Jay Lane Yellow Natural/Polished Gold Dots Bangle Bracelet ($84 at Zappos)

Non-Black Blazers

Store your black boyfriend blazers and tuxedo jackets. This spring, blazers have color! Try a pastel pink, baby blue or navy with shorts or a mini skirt. If the jacket has a pattern, even better!

Silk Film School Blazer ($129.99 at Madewell)

MICHAEL Michael Kors Blazer ($130 at Michael Kors)

Mock Denim Blazer ($22.80 at Forever 21)

Whimsical Whites

Laces, bows and eyelets in basic white are closet staples this season. As long as they're girly and frilly -- not casual or plain -- you'll be in this spring.

Bell Sleeve Lace Shift ($95 at Topshop)

Tibi Cream Floral Applique Shift Dress ($220 at Stylebop)
