5 Ways Social Media Is Actually Bad for You

 

 

For most people, social media is both life-giving and "I want to throw my phone in the trash can" exhausting. On one hand, it's full of your friends, photos of puppies, and recipes you want to make but never will. On the other hand, it's full of photos of your ex with his new girlfriend, internet trolls, and Instagram photos that make you feel like

A Sneak Peek of Rihanna’s Third Collection with Stance Socks |Watch

Rihanna has definitely been working very hard recently. From releasing a hot album to selling out her Anti tour, now with this sneak peek of her third collection with Stance socks, the singer is yet again keeping us on our toes.

Mixing a sassy baby doll attitude with streetwise edge, the 19-style collection evokes the cheeky tomboy élan we’ve come to associate with the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year winner. In this video clip, get a glimpse of slinky thigh-highs, gauze ankle socks embroidered with the number eight, and athleisure-inspired ribbed footless styles. As Rihanna herself says, “It’s really me in a collection of socks.” Speaking directly to where the “Kiss It Better” singer is creatively and sartorially, the fanciful and personal collection marks another advancement in her growing Fenty fashion empire.

The world will have to wait until Monday for the full reveal (as usual), but in the meantime, enjoy this first look at the latest Fenty for Stance by Rihanna collection.

According to WWD, the singer has also confirmed a deal with LVMH for a complete makeup brand called Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, to launch in the fall of 2017.

“Africa is way cooler than I thought” Watch FADER Writer Discuss Davido & Her 4 Day Stay in Lagos

The FADER Magazine writer Rawiya Kameir, who spent four days with Davido and his crew in Lagos shared this behind the scenes video about her trip.

She went to performances with the crew and also Quilox to party, as well as saw Davido and his father’s homes in Lekki. 

In the video, she  recounts how she was picked up in the airport in a white Porsche and more. The writer who actually grew up somewhere on the continent (in Africa), says this trip to Nigeria definitely changed her view of Africa and African music. She said,

I started thinking, ‘Oh, maybe Africa is way cooler than I thought it was growing up.’ Around the same time, Davido was having a similar experience,” she says. “That’s when he decided to drop R&B and hip-hop as his primary focus and start making African music. One of the reasons that I was really interested in doing this story was because of that. We are these people who are living between multiple worlds and multiple cultures.”

Lady Gaga, Intel plan ambitious performance at Grammy

 Lady Gaga is promising a technologically ambitious, “multisensory” David Bowie tribute at the Grammy Awards she hopes will befit the famously experimental rock legend. 

The music industry’s biggest night takes place Monday barely a month after the shocking death of Bowie, who over his half-century career became one of the most influential figures in pop culture.

 Gaga Lady Gaga, known for her brash outfits and sexual openness, is among the contemporary artists who is most obviously inspired by Bowie, the pioneer of glam rock. Grammy producers have raised expectations for Lady Gaga’s tribute, saying it will be groundbreaking. “I don’t know that we’ve ever done anything quite as elaborate as this,” said Eric Cook, the supervising producer of the Grammys. “This is obviously an ambitious performance and we’re all really excited about it,” he said in a video preview. Chip-maker Intel said it developed effects for the performance at the Grammys, which will be broadcast live from Los Angeles. “We’ve used technology to almost be an extension of Gaga.
 As she moves, the environment around her is responding to her, and that’s because of the real-time technologies that we’ve incorporated into it,” said Paul Tapp, Intel’s director of technology. 
The Recording Academy, which stages the awards, said in a statement that Lady Gaga would offer “a multisensory testament to the icon’s incredible artistry and limitless creativity.” She will team up with Nile Rodgers of Chic fame, a friend of Bowie who worked with the British singer on his disco-tinged 1983 “Let’s Dance” album. – 

A headline-grabbing performance would mark a return to form for the singer born as Stefani Germanotta, who since her rise to stardom nearly a decade ago has delighted in provocative gestures and outfits, most notoriously a dress made of meat she wore to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010. Much like the chameleonic Bowie, Gaga has reinvented herself.

 In the past two years she has refashioned herself as a classic crooner, teaming up with the 89-year-old Tony Bennett for an album and concert tour of pop standards. The Grammys come one week after Lady Gaga, who turns 30 next month, won wide praise for an emotionally intense delivery of the national anthem at the Super Bowl, the most watched US television broadcast of the year. 

Lady Gaga, who plans a new album this year but has released few details about it, has said that she “fell in love” with Bowie’s music when she was a struggling artist on New York’s bustling Lower East Side. “I always felt that his glamour was something he was using to express a message to people that was very healing for their souls,” she told The Hollywood Reporter days before Bowie died. Bowie died on January 10 from a publicly undisclosed battle with cancer, two days after he released his final album, “Blackstar,” on his 69th birthday. Despite the all-out effort behind the tribute, Bowie in his life won only one Grammy besides a lifetime achievement award. He lived in New York for the final two decades of his life but always enjoyed greater mainstream success in Britain and several other European countries, with “Blackstar” his first, albeit posthumous, US number one album. – Many tributes – Bowie’s death has triggered a flurry of tributes with fresh cover albums already coming out. Amanda Palmer, the outspoken neo-punk artist, recently released an EP of Bowie covers, “Strung Out in Heaven,” that features acclaimed English singer Anna Calvi performing “Blackstar.”

 A British tabloid reported that prolific rapper Kanye West was planning his own Bowie tribute, leading fans to start a petition against the prospect. Bowie is one of a number of prominent musicians to have died recently. The Grammys also plans a performance by the surviving Eagles to honor late guitarist Glenn Frey and a tribute to late “King of the Blues” B.B. King. Living members of funk legends Earth, Wind & Fire, whose founder Maurice White died last week, will present the Grammy for Record of the Year.

Singer Essence Doesn’t Believe in Valentine – “I’m a grown woman.”

Uwale Okoro AKA Essence was a Kennis Music star in the 90s, with songs like‘Facebook Love’ featuring Jaywon and‘Sexy’. In a recent interview the singer has made it clear she doesn’t like the idea of Valentine/one day love.

When asked by Vanguard what she will be doing on Valentine’s Day this Sunday, she said,

“I will be in church that day loving my God. I’m not a loving-for-one-day kind of person. Anybody that only loves me for one day doesn’t truly love me. I don’t believe in this idea of wearing Red on one day and eating lots of cake and chocolate in the name of celebrating love. I’m a grown woman; only children wait for a particular day to celebrate love.”

When asked what her favourite Valentine’s celebration has been, she says she’s always working.

“Everyday is Valentine for me, so every day is the best as well. Besides, it’s a work day for me; I’m always working on Valentine’s Day.”
