Everything Sucks! launched globally on Netflix last week.

John Legend Debut’s “Under the Stars” in Collaboration with Stella Artois

For the holiday season, Stella Artois & John Legend came together to Give Beautifully. Together they are gifting the creation of “Under the Stars,” the first ever duet with the sound of actual stars.

This exclusive original holiday song, written and performed by Legend, was created to pay homage to the brand’s name, “Stella,” which directly translates to “star.”

Inspired by the raw emotional connections family and friends yearn for during the holidays, “Under the Stars” is written to convey the feelings people experience when they gaze at the night sky; stars are a source of inspiration, optimism and dreams.

America can stream this free musical gift from Stella Artois exclusively at www.StellaArtois.com.

Stella Artois teamed up with one of my favorites John Legend to set the mood for a summer of sophisticated hosting experiences with the launch of the brand’s ‘Host Beautifully’ campaign.

The brand partnered with Legend to kick-off the program by throwing a chic soiree in a beautiful ranch just outside of Los Angeles to unveil “The A-Z Guide to Host Beautifully,” an expert-developed guide to inspire the next generation of great hosts.

The award-winning singer serenaded guests with an intimate, musical performance, which included chart-toppers like “Ordinary People” and “All of Me” as he raised a Chalice to months of entertaining during the summer ahead.

The crowd later ended the night with a toast in a spectacular hot air balloons over the skies of Southern California at dusk.

Legend was heard discussing his tips on how to “Host Beautifully” from setting the mood with music to his personal BBQ tips, to cooking with his wife Chrissy Teigen, and their upcoming move from NYC to LA.

He also discussed his new HBO documentary, “Southern Rites” and new summer tour plans.

Tamra Judge of Real Housewives of Orange County has taken fitness to a new level.

The soon-to-be fifty year old blonde hottie, one of the most exciting cast members of the hit Bravo series, looked beyond fantastic at the world premiere of The Emoji Movie at Regency Village Theater in Westwood, CA this week.

After rigorous training, Judge reinvented her body after opening a fitness studio with husband Eddie, and even competed in her first Musclemania Competition last year, amazingly placing first in her division.

Ed Sheeran: “I don’t think I’ll be living this life in 10 years’ time”

ed-sheeran-inside-cover-story-ftr
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran‘s songs showcase his acoustic soul, heartfelt lyrics, and some pretty wicked rapping skills.
Over the past few years, Sheeran has taken America by storm, starting with his 2012 mega-hit “The A Team,” which was followed by a spot on Taylor Swift‘s 2013 tour.
In some ways, Sheeran’s a male version of Swift: young, talented, ambitious, supremely confident, and unafraid to leap across musical genres and write songs inspired by people in his life.
”In the June 29 issue of Parade, Sheeran opens up about his new album, rise to fame, his love life, and why he doesn’t think he’ll be “living this life in 10 years’ time.”
The song “Afire Love,” off his new album, x (a.k.a. Multiply) [just released], is about his grandfather Bill. “I finished writing it on the day of his funeral,” Sheeran, 23, tells Parade contributor David Browne, “and played it for my whole family. Before it went any further, I needed to get the blessing of the people I care about.”

And if you’re wondering, “Don’t,” a bitter song of romantic betrayal, is “about someone who’s well known, but not Taylor,” says Sheeran, who has denied ever dating Swift (rumor has it that fellow Brit pop sensation Ellie Goulding is the song’s subject).

He’s even got a 10-year plan. “I know this isn’t going to last forever. Now is the time when I’m making my musical statements and being cool and going to parties. But I don’t think I’ll be living this life in 10 years’ time. If I am, please slap me.” Where will he be instead? “Back home, bunch of kids,” he says without hesitation. “At 33, I should be starting to settle down.” He won’t name his current girlfriend, though he says she’s a chef.”

Also, Sheeran dishes on trashing a hotel room (then putting it all back together!), making friends with Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, and much more in the June 29 issue of Parade.

What’s Ed’s most embarrassing moment? And when was the last time he cried? Find out, watch Parade‘s behind-the-scenes exclusive video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM8vqzvg0DE

Harper’s BAZAAR Food Diaries “Everything Kate Hudson Eats in a Day”

Here is one of the latest videos on Harper’s BAZAAR’s YouTube Channel.

Harper’s BAZAAR

The latest episode of Food Diaries features actress, businesswoman, co-founder of Fabletics and mother to three, Kate Hudson. Kate breaks down a typical day of eats—from celery juice and soft-boiled eggs in the morning, to creamy pasta dishes and roasted chicken for dinner, and a few of Goldie Hawn’s favorite recipes, too.

Harper’s BAZAAR recently followed ‘Insecure’ creator and star Issa Rae as she prepared for this year’s unorthodox Emmy Awards. Instead of watching from the comfort of her home, Rae and her co-stars gathered at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood California, where they tuned in to the remotely filmed ceremony while dressed to the nines. While getting ready for the special night (‘Insecure’ had eight nominations), Rae spilled secrets about her co-stars, looked back at her favorite red carpet looks, and spoke on inclusivity and representation in the television industry.
