Hey there! As usual, there has been a lot of action going on in Hollywood; so thankfully, we have condensed the top entertainment news from this past week so that you can stay up to date without having to bother yourself with reading the long articles, you’re welcome. These weekly entertainment articles will keep you in the loop, with news ranging from a variety of pop culture medias! You might be asking: What Happened, Hollywood? Well, let’s get started…
1.      Bruce Jenner journeys into womanhood!
What first seemed like a petty rumor spiraling out of control is in fact truth. It has been confirmed by People magazine that Bruce Jenner is transitioning into a woman, and many reports state that he will have an upcoming docu-series later this year that will report the entire journey. It appears that everyone in the family is supportive of his transition into womanhood – including Kanye West! Although it is shocking to many people that an Olympic Gold Medal Winner has decided to drastically change his life, so late into his life, but this in of itself sets a perfect example that it is never too late to do what makes you happy!
2.      What’s for dinner? Bieber Roast, anyone?
The roast is on! Teen pop sensation, Justin Bieber, called in Comedy Central himself to make the roast a celebration in honor of his 21st birthday! Ryan Seacrest confirmed “This is not the typical plans a soon-to-be 21 year old makes but this will definitely be a birthday to remember.
3.      FINALLY!  A curvy model!
Sports Illustrated launched a new ad campaign titled #CurvesInBikinis in hopes of breaking the norm of what is considered “beautiful,” thereby accepting that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Plus size model Ashley Graham is making history by being the first size 14 model to debut in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit edition. You heard right! She will be alongside top models such as Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, and Behati Prinsloo. The fact that a highly sexualized magazine such as Sports Illustrated is taking such a step toward embracing curves just shows that we are slowly heading in the right direction. It’s time we start bringing back the “curves are sexy” ideal and completely superscede the unrealistic desire for a “thigh gap.”
4.      Eat Like Beyonce
We all remember when Beyonce went vegan for 22 days with her hubby Jay-Z back in 2013. Well, she fell in love with the plant based diet so much that she is creating a vegan meal plan called “22 Days Nutrition” that uses nutritionist and exercise physiologist Marco Borges as a reference. Beyonce purposely chose 22 days in support of the idea that you can essentially break any bad habit and create a completely new one in 3 weeks! So WWBD?… eat veggies.
5.      Madonna is BACK
