Beats x Naomi Campbell - THE HERO SHOT

As one of the world’s most renown supermodels, Naomi Campbell‘s career continues to shine bright. It’s entirely apt, then, that the model-mogul has teamed up with Beats By Dre to offer a golden salute to World Cup winners Germany.

Together, Campbell and Beats have presented the entire team with 24 carat gold dipped Beats Pro headphones

To celebrate the win, the unique campaign tapped famed photographer Rankin to lens a shoot titled GoldenThe snap, which features above, see’s Naomi stun as the World Cup trophy adorned in gold high-fashion and wearing the the 24 carat Gold Beats Pros. 

Needless to say, she looks divine!

Speaking on the project, Campbell gushed…

“Working on the ‘Golden’ project with Beats by Dr. Dre was so much fun.  The shoot was loud and energetic…I even got to practice my football skills! This was the first time I’ve had the chance to work with the legendary Rankin, so it was a dream shoot. The ‘Golden’ project is the perfect way to celebrate the German victory and I’m glad to be a part of this campaign.”

Peep a behind the scenes look at the shoot below…

lil-mama

Lil’ Mama may have garnered favour and acclaim for her performance as Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in ‘Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story’ last year, yet that hasn’t stopped a select set from targeting her online.

The rapper/actress, who has been the subject of ample jabs since her infamous stage crashing of Jay Z’s VMA performance in 2009, is now being slammed by internet trolls for her looks.

Fed up, she took to Instagram today to address claims that she’s been bleaching her skin.

Convenient?

That’s what many are whispering after Cheryl Cole announced her secret marriage to her boyfriend of three months today.

Taking to Instagram, the British chart-topper revealed that she and French lover Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini tied the knot this month; news that comes a week before she releases her comeback single…the aptly titled ‘Crazy Stupid Love’.

Details below…

rihanna-world-cup

With Beyonce dominating her own lane and now Rihanna‘s too (see: racy antics), one would think the latter would be spend the mass of her time working on her…everything.

No such luck. After all, this is Rihanna.

The vocally-challenged model was spotted at Brazil’s Maracana Stadium tonight celebrating Germany’s win against Argentina in the World Cup final – seemingly without a care in the world.

For her sake, we hope her Rio break is brief and a return to the studio is nigh. Granted, it’s clear she doesn’t have much of a hand in the making of her McMusic, the microwaving of her new album is taking awfully long. Then again, after the obliteration that was December 13th 2013, we’re not surprised at all.

Your thoughts?

Shakira-La-La-La-world-cup

Like the antics on the pitch, the musical aspect of the Brazilian World Cup has been action-packed.

Indeed, though Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte‘s ‘We Are One’ was christened the soccer competition’s “official anthem”, most preferred the unofficial offering by Pop superstar Shakira.

So much so was the magnetic pull to her song ‘La La La’ that organisers FIFA seemingly had no choice but to draft her in to perform at today’s Closing Ceremony.

So, after all the ado, how did she fare? Find out below…
