Holy motherfuckin’ cow. Beyoncé posted her NEW BLONDE PIXIE CUT on Instagram late last night, while we were all sleeping or making fierce, yet tender love or watching the last episode of Frasier — and the Internet has become a house divided.
There is some speculation that the chop is the result of the Great Hair-In-Fan-Snag Incident of 2013. I love the cut, but I have to say, I am not thrilled about the blondeness, which makes it reminiscent of that “edgy” Miley pixie everyone seems to be getting these days. Can’t wait for the next level when Jessica Biel gets Skrillex hair. [Today; images via Instagram]
Drake finally responded to Amanda Bynes’ pre-5150 Twitter flip-flopping in regards to his sexual appeal (“Drake is hot.” “Drake is ugly.” “Drake is hot.” “Drake is ugly.”) in XXL Magazine. It is relatively tactful and roughly what you would expect.
“I don’t even know who that is doing that or what that’s about. If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going.”
Anderson Cooper’s boyfriend Benjamin Maisani, co-owner of the gay bar Eastern Bloc, is opening a new joint called Atlas Social Club (A.S.C.) in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s being described as a:
“gay speakeasy and a retro athletic club…” with old boxing, wrestling and bodybuilding photographs to be displayed inside.
So basically its clientele will be comprised of 99% gay 1930s ghosts with handlebar moustaches and old-fashioned wrestling outfits and 1% my friend Michael. Carry on. [Page Six]
Lady Gaga stars in a strange Kickstarter video to fundraise for the Marina Abramović Institute (you know, that obscure woman who is friends with Jay Z, I thinks she does performance art or something), which is “dedicated to the presentation and preservation of long durational work, including that of performance art, dance, theater, film, music, opera, and other forms that may develop in the future.”
In it, she does a series of Abramović-taught exercises, totally naked. [E!]
