Bad Blood is full of Bad-Ass BabeZ.

‘Band-Aids don’t fix bullet holes.” It’s here!! After weeks of teasers & posters for Taylor Swift’s epic new video for BAD BLOOD – it finally premiered at the Billboard Awards! And it’s exactly what we expected – bad babes kicking ass. Swifties alter ego Catastrophe battles it out with Selena Gomez’s character Arsyn. 

Appearances are made by literally every top female actress, model, dancer, muse, musician & more. Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Hailee Steinfeld, Mariska Hargitay, Ellen Pompeo, Martha Hunt, Ellie Goulding, Serayah, Jessica Alba, Hayley Williams, Zendaya, Lily Aldridge, & Cindy Crawford all take their doppelgangers to the next level.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid told PEOPLE Mag, “I’m obsessed with Beyoncé. It’s a play on Jay Z and using the word ‘slay’ … because slay. Hashtag-slay!”

Interesting pick with Gomez playing the villain in a black bob… rumor has it Taylor wrote this song about her rival artist … Katy Perry (over their issue with back up dancers). The killer video was created by Joseph Kahn who also directed her smash hit clip for Blank Space. Those are just 2 others off her album 1989 which has featured numerous hits from Shake it Off, Welcome to New York, Style, Out of the Woods & more.

The music vid debuted a remix with Kendrick Lamar – some fans were bugged that it wasn’t the original song but we gotta say, we were feeling it. Other people mentioned with such a full cast of characters it would’ve been cool if it were a short film instead – which we kind of agree. But, all in all we’re all about ‘Bad Blood’. 

And if you haven’t gotten your fill of bad-a** babes yet — then catch Rihanna SLAY Bitch Better Have My Money on SNL.

Lena Dunham goes Rocker-Chic for ELLE.

‘GiRLS’ creator & star, Lena Dunham goes punk-rocker-chic for ELLE Magazine’s ‘The Women in TV’ issue — she channels a cool 80s rocker in high fashion pieces by Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana and more // photographed by Paola Kudacki.

True to her candid & honest form, she elaborates on how she uses her public image to raise awareness for serious issues:  “I realized early on that I was not going to be able to have a comfortable relationship with celebrity if I didn’t feel like I was using it to talk about things that were important to me. It was always going to make me feel gross, for lack of a better word. I was like, ‘Oh, this attention is something I’m going to figure out how to use in a way that feels productive, healthy, and smart. And not just like as an excuse to collect handbags.’ Although I love handbags.”

Even ELLE’s editor-in-chief, Robbie Myers, couldn’t hold back their admiration, “There really is nobody just like Dunham…she’s a really good actress: convincing, revealing, funny, and often heartbreaking in portraying a voice of her generation.” Adding, “It’s extraordinary to be able to watch a polymath at the start of what will be a life of incredible influence on the way women are understood and apportioned power, and to be with her simply as a fan and supporter of what she has and will have to say.”

Recently, Dunham wrote & released a memoir Not That Kind of Girl – she came under criticism for expressing difficult moments in her life, which included experiencing sexual assault, Lena spoke with the TODAY Show,  “It’s a very, very painful thing to share an episode that personal and receive criticism,” she said. “But what I received was only a small percentage of the doubt and victim blaming that most women who are sexually assaulted in this country experience.”

The 28-year-old actress / writer went on to add,  “You know, I am a celebrity with a platform and a lot of incredible support. Most women who come forward with accusations of sexual assault don’t have those benefits — don’t have my legal and emotional and financial supports.”

We love her honesty! Can’t WAIT for the new season of ‘Girls’ premiering 01/11/15 — can YOU? Who’s YOUR favorite character?

‘Girls’ Star Allison Williams Covers Allure, Talks Starring in Peter Pan.

Allison Williams for ALLURE Magazine.

PHOTOGRAPHED BY CARTER SMITH.

Williams, best known for her character on Lena Dunham’s hit HBO Show GIRLS  – looks sophisticated & fresh faced for her cover/editorial with Allure Magazine. The shoot is enchanting & whimsical, it was inspired by her upcoming role as the title character in Peter Pan Live!, (which airs December 4 on NBC). She looks elegant & fairytale-like in pieces by Valentino, Dior, Giuseppe Zanotti and more.

 

The 26 year old actress / singer / model for Simple Skincare, talks about her similar characteristics to Marnie on Girls, body image & getting offended, all before packing up a plate of brownies for her fiancé,Ricky Van Veen (Cofounder of CollegeHumor).

 

On the similarities with Marnie:“What I share with Marnie is that push and pull between accepting the way you’re wired, that you want your ducks in a row. And that is desperately uncool when you’re in high school and college and in your early 20s. It’s supposed to be this time where everyone’s sort of living on the edge of uncertainty and fine with it. And that’s just not where I feel comfortable.”

On body image: “When I did the Mad Men thing, I was graduating from college—you’re college-weight. And so when we filmed the pilot for Girls and even into that first season, I looked like someone I hadn’t looked like for four years. But that’s still the way it was set in people’s minds, so they’re like, ‘Oh, my God, you’ve lost weight.’ And I’m like, ‘This is just the way my body is very naturally.’ It’s a little bit stressful to know that there are a lot of people walking around who think I’m constantly just shaking and depriving myself.”

On the most offensive thing anyone has ever said to her: “I cut off my hair twice. It was in high school, and a boy that I had a crush on said, ‘You’ve lost your aura.’ It was, to this day, the most offensive thing anyone’s ever said to me. And it was before extensions were everywhere, and I just had to muscle through it.”

Taylor Swift Channels ‘Frozen’ For Cosmopolitan UK.

Taylor Swift – literally everybody’s darling, continues to make waves in the music & fashion industry. The Out Of The Woods singer is about to hit platinum with her latest album 1989 and now she opens up about feminism, Lena Dunham, and being happily single for Cosmopolitan UK’s December issue. Swift looks like a winter-princess for the cover and editorial.

Swift told the publication that she and her friends often talk about gender inequality,

“My girlfriends and I talk a lot about feminism and the inequality between the way men and women are talked about. The kind of things we say are: ‘Why is it mischievous, fun and sexy if a guy has a string of lovers that he’s cast aside; loved and left?’

“Yet, if a woman dates three or four people in an eight-year period, she is a serial dater and it gives some 12-year-old the idea to call her a “slut” on the internet? It’s not the same for boys. It just isn’t, and that’s a fact.”

She also chats about GIRLS creator/best-selling author of Not That Kind of Girl, Lena Dunham, “Her perspective has truly shaped me in the past couple of years. She is just so enthusiastic about life, about other women. She is like a hug in the form of a person.”

Taylor is known for gaining lyrical inspiration on past relationships but she makes it clear she doesn’t need a man, nor does she want a boyfriend now, as she’s happy & single! Lovin’ it girl,

“People will say, ‘let me set you up with someone,’ and I’m just sitting there saying, ‘That’s not what I’m doing. I’m not lonely. I’m not looking.’ They just don’t get it.

“I’ve learnt that just because someone is cute and wants to date you, that’s not a reason to sacrifice your independence and allow everyone to say what they want about you. I’m not doing that any more.”

She added, “It’d take someone really special for me to undergo the circumstances I have to go through to experience a date. I don’t know how I would ever have another person in my world trying to have a relationship with me, or a family. The best answer I can come up with now is, ‘go at it alone.’

“Life can be romantic without having a romance. I’m very attracted to happy I am now.” Preach Taylor, Preach.
