CHANEL: Lipstick is Back.

The red lips at last week's Chanel show? According to the brand's global creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, they're a little bit couture and a little bit rock 'n' roll. In other words: Coco meets Courtney Love. This video definitely makes me wanna wear a red lip more often.

Actor Michael Ealy is Back on the Scene...

Michael Ealy went missing for a while, but now he's back and he's joining the hit television series "The Good Wife" where he will play Derrick Bond, the head of the Washington, D.C. firm that is merging with the floundering Lockhart & Gardner. Michael's casting breakdown for "The Good Wife" describes the character as a casual and soft-spoken attorney who believes all people should be treated equally. 

Oh wait... How did that pic get there?! lol. This is a pic from a wedding where Michael and I served as best man (to his best friend) and matron of honor (to my cousin) a few years back. Fun times...
Michael also stars in the upcoming movie "Takers" which also stars T.I., Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Zoe Saldana and Chris Brown. The movie is about a notorious group of criminals who continue to confuse police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. Can't wait to check this one out. Check out the trailer below:
