Emily Bustamante’s KONTROL Magazine Photo Shoot Is Out Of…You Know


We’ve said it before but Emily Bustamante is having an excellent year, and a great season two on Love And Hip Hop so we’re kind of fixated on her at the moment. Emily’s no stranger to appearing in magazines, but we thought this feature she shot for KONTROL Magazine was especially hot. Check out this clip as Emily gets her hair and makeup done and then works that model magic for the photographer at the shoot. Her issue of the magazine is out on January 4 — check after the jump for one of the amazing photos from the shoot.

Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Hosts Paul Scheer And Rob Huebel Keep Making Promises They Can’t Keep


When you think award shows, you don’t typically imagine that they take place underwater, or that they include tigers fighting eagles, or the entire national audience winning a hundred thousand dollars apiece. But that’s exactly what’s going to happen at the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards on January 12th, according to hosts Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel. Wait, weren’t these the same guys who tried to convince us they were Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy? Yeah, so maybe we’ll take these claims with a grain of salt. Tune in at 8 p.m. ET/PT on January 12 to see just what these guys can deliver.

The Three Words That Describe Kimbella’s Head To Toe Style: Vibrant, Beautiful And Fashionable

Love And Hip Hop star Kimbella made a big impression on us right from the start. After getting into a fight in her very first episode on the show, the first thing we saw her doing was primping in the mirror and telling herself she “still looks pretty!” When she swung by the VH1 office recently to film this Head To Toe video segment with us, we wanted to know how she stays pretty (fight or no fight). Here’s what she told us about her style” “I’m from Miami so of course I love to be vibrant and pretty much stand out…You’ve gotta always have a poppin’ color.” When it comes to accessories, she explained “I’m really big on gold, platinum, anything blingy, anything that makes noise.” And as for her shoes, she said of those six-inch heels “If you wear these, you gotta know how to walk in them.” Watch Kim’s video above, and for a list of all the brands shes wearing, click after the jump.

VH1 Stars Pick Which Scenes Were Their Favorites To Film In 2011


As an outsider watching a show, we never quite know what scenes are really “real,” what’s staged to help move the plot along, or whether or not certain trips our casts take are truly enjoyable for all involved parties. (cough*Basketball Wives*cough) At the very least, we now know what scenes were most fun for the stars who were in them. We asked the casts of several of our shows which moments were their favorites to film, and the answers are surprising. (Seems like that Basketball Wives L.A. Hawaii trip was more fun than it seemed!) Read on to find out how they answered.

T.I. And Tiny Show Off Their Style From Head To Toe


After only a few episodes of T.I. And Tiny: The Family Hustle, it’s safe to say that the family onscreen is our favorite TV family of the year. From the adoring and committed relationship T.I. and Tiny have with one another to their insanely cute and talented brood, we can’t look away when this show is on. And it’s impossible to be a fan of these two and not pay attention to their appearance. Yes, Mr. Clifford Harris is one good-looking, well-dressed man, but his wife, with her ever-changing hair, super-high heels, and amazing jewelry is nothing to sneeze at either. When they swung by the VH1 offices recently, we took the opportunity to take a few photos of them for a feature we call Head To Toe, in order to find out what they’re wearing and get a close-up look at their street style. Of course everything Tip has on was his own brand, Akoo, but he does mix it up when it comes to his shoes and jewelry. And we talked to Tiny about her favored brands (which are listed below), but when we asked about her jewelry, her answer was simple: “Just diamonds.” Check out our gallery for all the pics of the clothing and the diamonds, and stay tuned for T.I. And Tiny: The Family Hustle tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

    Blog Exclusive: Mob Wives Star Carla Facciolo Has Very Strong Feelings About Online Dating


    Carla Facciolo, who was so quiet and calm for so much of the first season of Mob Wives, tells us that after the reunion, she spoke to her ex-boyfriend (and the root of her big blowout with Renee), but surprisingly enough, she hasn’t spoken at all to Renee. Sure, they’re working together on season two at the moment, but that makes us a little sad to hear for some reason.

    Carla is no longer with the boyfriend, and she says she’s not back together with her ex-husband Joe either, she’s just enjoying the single life. However, she says “I do NOT online date.” Find out more about what Carla’s been up to since last season in our exclusive interview, and tune in to the season premiere of Mob Wives on New Year’s Day at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

    We Asked Our VH1 Stars And They Answered: What’s The Best News You’ve Heard All Year?


    So much has happened in the past year that even just thinking back six months feels like a lifetime ago. But for a lot of our VH1 stars, 2011 was the year that they hit it big and their shows premiered on the network and they were beamed into our homes. When I asked some of our talent what the best news of the year was to them, almost no one went with actual news news, rather, everyone here celebrated their personal and professional triumphs, and rightly so. This is a successful group, and they’re proud of their accomplishments. Let’s see what they all had to say about the best thing they heard all year. (And of course there had to be a smartass in the group…OLIVIA.)
