Marilyn Monroe's Long Lost Love Letters Head To Auction

Marilyn Monroe's Long Lost Love Letters Head To Auction: Long before a certain notorious bombshell attempted to break the internet, Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate American sex symbol.



Though many lusted after her from afar, a few choice individuals -- including second husband Joe DiMaggio and third husband Arthur Miller -- got the chance to actually love her. If you're aching to know what kind of relationships transpired between these individuals and Ms. Monroe, you're in luck. A selection of Monroe's personal love letters is heading to Julien’s Auctions, along with an assortment of memorabilia from Monroe's life and work.

"I love you and want to be with you," DiMaggio wrote in a 1954 letter, just after Monroe informed him she was filing for divorce. "There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me."



The objects up for auction from "Marilyn Monroe's Lost Archives" also include letters from friends including Cary Grant and Clark Gable. A particularly adorable note from Miller ends: "Please, if I've ever made you cry or made you even more sadder, ever for a second, please forgive me, my perfect girl. I love you."

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world," Monroe wrote in her unfinished biography, "not because I was talented or even beautiful but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else." While the reigning view of Monroe is of a woman hungry for love and belonging, the notes on sale show that in fact Monroe's life was rich with passion and romance.



Before her untimely death at 36 years old, Monroe willed her archival materials to her acting coach Lee Strasberg, who then gave the bounty to a friend who wishes to remain anonymous. Whoever has been keeping track of the some 300 items from Monroe's stash has done a fine job; most appear to be in nearly perfect condition after all these years.

According to the Associated Press, auction owner Darren Julien estimates the pieces could sell for $1 million or more when they hit the auction block on Saturday, December 6. This also includes the actress' "favorite coat," velvet cocktail dress, makeup and sheer lingerie.



Take a look at some of the loot below and visit the Julien's Auctions website to learn more. The auction takes place December 6, 2014 in Beverly Hills, CA.

Taylor Swift Says 'Women Who Are Killing It' Should 'Motivate You,' Not Threaten You

Taylor Swift Says 'Women Who Are Killing It' Should 'Motivate You,' Not Threaten You:



tswift



 Taylor Swift seems to have settled comfortably into her new feminist identity -- and a recent profile of the 24-year-old pop star only confirms it.



In an interview with Time Magazine published on Nov. 13, Swift discussed the women she looks up to and how the sexist double standards female celebrities face impacts her.



Time's Jack Dickey asked Swift what it's like to have her "body picked over" and constantly compared to other famous women's in a manner that most of her male peers don't experience. "I refuse to buy into these comparisons, because you don’t see it happening to men. All you seem to see is 'Which New Mother Is Sexier?' 'Who’s the Hotter Mama?' 'Who’s Got The Better Booty?'" she said.



While the media often insists on comparing women to reveal their flaws, Swift explained that surrounding herself with inspiring women motivates her to be better:

If we continue to show young girls that they are being compared to other girls, we’re doing ourselves a huge disservice as a society. I surround myself with smart, beautiful, passionate, driven, ambitious women. Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you rather than threaten you and make you feel like you’re immediately being compared to them. The only thing I compare myself to is me, two years ago, or me one year ago.

Swift added that it's hard to find a female celebrity who hasn't been "picked apart by the media, or scrutinized and criticized for aging, or criticized for fighting aging -- it just seems to be much more difficult to be a woman in music and to grow older," she told Dickey. "I just really hope that I will choose to do it as gracefully as possible."



She also touched on the sexism that she and other artists, such as Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea, experience in the music industry, having to repeatedly prove that they write their own songs.



"My friend Ed [Sheeran], no one questions whether he writes everything," Swift said. "In the beginning, I liked to think that we were all on the same playing field. And then it became pretty obvious to me that when you have people sort of questioning the validity of a female songwriter... It’s a little discouraging that females have to work so much harder to prove that they do their own things."



While it's never fun to witness such sexism, T-Swift is doing an awesome job shaking off all the haters. (Because haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate.)



Head over to TIME to read the rest of Swift's interview.

Hilary Duff Tells Health Magazine She Was 'Way Too Skinny' As A Teen

Hilary Duff Tells Health Magazine She Was 'Way Too Skinny' As A Teen: As cover star of Health's December issue, Hilary Duff told the magazine that she's at a very comfortable place in her life -- with motherhood, her career and her body. But the singer and actress, who rose to fame at a young age thanks to her leading role on Disney Channel's "Lizzie McGuire," says she didn't always feel that way. The 27-year-old got candid with Health about her struggles with her weight as a teen:



When I was 17, I weighed, like, 98 pounds. I was totally obsessed with everything I put in my mouth. I was way too skinny. Not cute. And my body wasn’t that healthy -- my hands would cramp up a lot because I wasn’t getting the nutrition I needed. That constant pressure of wanting something different than I had? I regret that. I feel like there was way too much time spent thinking about that.




Thankfully, these days the mother of one says she's confident with her body:



“This is the body that I have. I have a very athletic build, and I am so proud of what my body has done for me. I had the best, healthiest, strongest pregnancy. And I feel good about myself."

Solange Knowles knows how to throw a wedding.



Knowles married video director Alan Ferguson at the Marigny Opera House in New Orleans Sunday. The couple said "I do" in front of about 200 family and friends, including Beyonce and Jay Z.



Beyonce shared photos from the gorgeous party, showing Solange wearing a long white dress with a cape by Humberto Leon for Kenzo, according to Us Weekly. She stood surrounded by other attendees all decked out in white for wedding portraits taken by photographer Rog Walker.



“Everyone I worked with on the wedding are friends who I love,” Solange told Vogue. “Everything was a labor of love.”



Later in the evening, they took the party to the streets of the French Quarter where they danced and lit sparklers.



This is the second marriage for the 28-year-old singer. In 2004, she married Daniel Smith. The two share a son, Daniel "Julez" Smith, born that same year.

Charli XCX Doesn't Care If You Think She's Cool

Charli XCX Doesn't Care If You Think She's Cool:

charli

Sometimes, you just gotta break the rules. We learned that from Charli XCX, who has won over fans and famous musicians alike with her edgy flair and general badassery.



She's the mastermind behind the insanely catchy "Fancy" hook and Icona Pop's totally addictive track, "I Love It." And now, the musician's the center of attention in her very own photo spread and interview in the December/January issue of Seventeen Magazine.



Scroll down for highlights and photos from the feature. Check out the rest of Charli XCX's interview online or in Seventeen's December/January issue, which hits newsstands November 25.



On the future of her career:

“I’m going to build an empire. I'm always writing for someone else. I want to be someone who has her fingerprints all over the pop charts.”



On how her parents coped with her performing at raves:

“My parents knew and would actually come with me. So it was like a weird attempt at rebellion that turned into a family outing. But these were like real, full-on raves and there were lots of drugs and stuff. My mum was kind of freaking out, but they would stand at the back and watch me perform from afar. It was kind of strange, but also cool that they wanted to be a part of it and they were looking out for me.”



On coolness:

“When you’re growing up I think there’s this idea that the coolest people are the ones who are really rude and feverish. But I’ve come to realize that isn’t cool. I think the best people are the ones who are just as nice and fun. This is really cheesy, but you only have one life -- why spend most of it pretending to be cool?”

Ariana Grande opens up about Big Sean relationship

Ariana Grande opens up about Big Sean relationship:



Young, beautiful and talented star Ariana Grande really is the girl of the moment right now, with her career soaring to huge heights recently, while her personal life is also going very well. Ariana is enjoying huge success on the music scene right now, with some big hit singles being released this year, while she is also confirmed to be dating Big Sean, so how is she managing to juggle everything that is going on in her life?


Ariana Grande doing her thing

Grande told InStyle, "I have conflicting feelings about it. On the one hand, I feel like I’m growing up and realise my life is my life and some things don’t need to be shared. But I’m very spur-of-the-moment, very open with my fans. And if there’s a cute pic I like that’s a little personal and I want to share it, maybe I will."

There had been quite a few rumours going around over the past few months, about Ariana Grande and Big Sean dating, with the couple making things official by going public a few weeks back. Ariana has now stated that they were never hiding the fact that they were dating, as they are actually very happy together.

She also recently told The Sun, "We were never really hiding it. We just didn’t feel any need to announce it. But I could sit here and gush all day if you want me to. I’m just really happy and very safe." It will be interesting to see just how long this romance lasts.

Do you think Ariana Grande and Big Sean make a cute couple?

Phoebe Tonkin reveals her cleavage in gutsy denim ad

Phoebe Tonkin reveals her cleavage in gutsy denim ad:



Phoebe Tonkin’s sexiness makes hearts race in her recent black and white denim campaign promotional video.  The actress casually unbuttons her shirt to reveal her cleavage in a dressy white bra, proving that she has quite a measure of sex appeal in the video. The ad is one of three clips which promote Frame Denim brand and Tonkin joined other famous names which the company used in their ads, like Miranda Kerr and Taylor Swift.


Phoebe Tonkin’s is a real beauty

Sporting a pair of jeans and getting close to nothing else, “The Originals” actress shows a rakish attitude and a smiling face, making us think that she really enjoys being herself and that she feels like a fish in a pond wearing that denim.

Tonkin teases the audience by showing a generous view of her cleavage and performing sexy, sultry moves, while she delivers the slogan of the campaign and the camera focuses on her attractive lips. Getting more into her steamy character but not losing her “girl next door” pose, the actress adopts a rebellious sexy attitude, biting her lower lip and shaking her head and roughing out her hair.

Tonkin has been dating her co-star for over a year
Tonkin has been dating her co-star for over a year

Past all doubt, this is one sexy and provoking appearance of the actress who plays a tough cookie werewolf in “The Vampire Diaries” spin-off “The Originals” and we can’t help but wonder what her boyfriend’s, Paul Wesley, reaction might have been or if he enjoyed it as much as we did. Tonkin has been dating her “The Vampire Diaries” co-star for over a year now and they pretty much keep their relationship  away from the public’s privy eyes. But this doesn’t mean that the actress doesn’t come up now and then with supporting remarks for her boyfriend, as it happened last month when she congratulated Wesley for his  new movie première, “Amira & Sam” by posting a photo of them two together on her Instagram account

Taylor Swift accused of diss at Rihanna and Miley Cyrus

Taylor Swift accused of diss at Rihanna and Miley Cyrus: When you are one of the biggest stars on the planet and you are giving an interview, you really do have to be careful about what you say, as people love to take your words out of context and read more into your comments than is actually there. That is exactly what has happened to singer Taylor Swift, her recently gave an interview to Time magazine.


Rihanna has shown a lot of flesh over the years

During the interview, Taylor Swift spoke about public image and how she wants to be perceived as a person and how she wants her gandchildren to see her in the future. However, some of the comments that Taylor has made have been taken completely out of context, with some people claiming that she is having a dig at the likes of Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.

Swift explained, “I’m sure there will be things that my grandkids make fun of me for no matter what, but I’d really rather it be, ‘Look how awkward your dancing was in the ‘Shake It Off’ video! You look so weird, Grandma!’ rather than ‘Grandma, is that your nipple?’ We’re taught to find examples for the way we want our lives to wind up. But I can’t find anyone, really, who’s had the same career trajectory as mine."

Miley Cyrus has also flashed the flesh

Taylor then went on to talk about women she likes to have around her, adding, "I surround myself with smart, beautiful, passionate, driven, ambitious women. Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you rather than threaten you and make you feel like you’re immediately being compared to them."

As you can see, Taylor Swift does not even mention Rihanna or Miley Cyrus and once again it is just people trying to make beef that just is not there.

Charlize Theron shows she is no pushover in handling son's tantrum

Charlize Theron shows she is no pushover in handling son's tantrum: Charlize Theron showed that she is no pushover when it comes to disciplining her child Jackson during a recent incident on a picnic which only because she is a celebrity brought her attention but it also may have made her more popular with fans and mothers worldwide. 


Charlize Theron modelling black low-cut dress

What parent does not know the 'joy' of their young child who may be under the age of 5 years old throwing a temper tantrum in a public place and drawing the attention of 'concerned' onlookers? For many parents it is almost a rite of passage for their child to attempt to embarrass them in public and then when the child is given a 'timeout' the child then takes that opportunity to become even louder. Some parents 'fold' under the pressure and pick up the child but others stay 'strong' because they understand that if the child thinks they can get away with it once it will become the norm.

The beautiful Academy Award winning actress was with son Jackson and partner Sean Penn on a picnic when she had to put her 2 year old on a 'timeout'. However, things became a little bit 'interesting' after someone walking by heard the wailing of Jackson and approached him but Charlize Theron asked her to stay away because her son was on a timeout. The lady called the police and they came, visited and left after talking to 'Mom' and realized that the child was fine but just on a timeout.

Charlize Theron, who just finished filming the movie "The Last Face" with Sean Penn in South Africa is used to media attention for her projects but she probably never anticipated receiving attention for having to do what almost every parent in the world has been forced to do at some time but she handled it like she acts in her movie roles: fabulously.

Welcome to the 'parent' club Charlize Theron. I'm loving your work both on screen and off as are many of your fans and from one parent to another, "stay strong and keep doing what you are doing".
