Here's a story straight from a heist film: our heroine Lupita Nyong'o, whose gorgeous pearl-encrusted Calvin Klein gown swept the Oscars, is now no longer in possession of said gown because she has been ROBBED!
In troubling internet rumors that won't go away, the chances of a Lupita Nyong'o/Jared Leto courtship is looking more and more like a real possibility. According to sources, Nyong'o "isn't ruling out" a romantic relationship with Leto, but first he has to get his shit together.

Everyone thinks the Oscars are the diamond-glitter-dust Awards Ceremony, but that's a bit of a misnomer: sure it's all fancy and frou-frou but the Screen Actor's Guild Awards is where you can see your favorite A-list movie AND television stars, frolicking together like it's nothing. Like Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o…
This was a truly exceptional week in erroneous shade usage. My list of cases was long, but as Chief Justice of Shade, it was my duty to select only the most egregious cases. The docket was so full that I couldn't even cloud Andy Cohen's sad-sack usage of shade. He, of all people, truly should know better.
Stumbling off course during the swampy haze of a Golden Globes after-party, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o was unfortunate enough to encounter Bravo strega Kenya Moore. "Take a picture with me," Kenya cackled, but Lupita said no, because she had heard tale/seen episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and knew that…
Much like your parents, Mathew Knowles—the estranged father of Solange and Beyoncé—is having a garage sale. And also like your parents, he's using said garage sale to hawk his kids' old tour merch. (Remember how much fun you had while working the "Destiny Fulfilled...And Lovin' It" tour?)

David Oyelowo will star opposite Lupita Nyong'o in the film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 2013 book Americanah, a story about a Nigerian couple's emigration to the U.S. and U.K. Oyelowo recently landed a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Ava Duvernay's Selma.

Lupita Nyong'o, who really needs to give a seminar on public speaking, was among the women who delivered a keynote address at the Massachusetts Conference for Women in Boston on Thursday night. Another day, another amazing speech.
Monday night at Glamour's annual Woman of the Year Awards in New York City, many of our most important cultural and political luminaries, and Tinsley Mortimer, walked the red carpet in the name of Empowerment.

Perfect human Lupita Nyong'o has made her debut on the American version of Sesame Street, and, as could be predicted, she's perfect.
Lupita Nyong’o thinks that black hair "is like clay," among other things she said when sharing her favorite beauty secrets with Harper’s Bazaar; unsurprisingly, her list included a number of Lancôme products. You might remember she’s the face of the beauty brand these days but not even her product peddling can start…

These days, we are constantly being sold products and experiences but now, companies are getting more trixsy. Instead of just airing a commercial selling a trip to Las Vegas, the city’s Convention & Visitors Authority is collaborating with shows like Logo’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing in fans of the program and…

Lupita Nyong'o is on the cover of French Elle and she makes me want to live my best life, which can obviously only be attained by emulating her fabulousness. This cover follows the actress' appearance on the cover of American Vogue.

Good news for those of us who love Star Wars and diversity in film. The movie has just added an Asian actress to its lineup, up-and-coming British thespian Christina Chong.

As many of us know, Lupita Nyong'o was featured on the the cover of Vogue's July issue, and the pictures in her spread were absolutely gorgeous. One of the most striking images was her intensely staring down a cobra that was a mere feet from her face.

Following up her cover for the magazine, Vogue has released a video of Lupita Nyong'o showing off her braiding skills on six of her best friends. Is there nothing this woman can't do?

Last summer, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — AMPAA, aka the folks who hand out Oscars — elected a new president: Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the Academy's first African-American president, and the third woman to hold the position. And now we can see that Isaacs is making some changes.
