PETA's new ad campaign is set to launch next month during NYC's Fashion Week, actress Taraji P. Henson (seen-r) stated she'd rather go naked than wear fur.

The forty year old actress stated, "Before I saw that documentary, I would wear fur. But I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried. Could you imagine somebody ripping your hair out, while you're still awake, fully conscious? It's ridiculous, for the sake of fashion."

I'm sure PETA appreciates Ms. Henson's contribution to their project. Almost as much as men and women all over the world who are drooling over this photo right now! Ha!

This photo is rather captivating if I say so myself.

Anivia Cruz-Dilworth (seen-r), a plus size high fashion model for Wilhemina and Click modeling agencies, has been indicted on charges of practicing cosmetic medicine without a license. 

Allegedly, six women went to Dilworth for buttocks-enhancement injections and was told by the model that she's a trained professional. Instead of receiving a fuller posterior the six females between the ages of twenty and thirty years old, were sent to the hospital before their second treatment could occur.

Cruz-Dilworth injected six women with what she described as hydro-gel; a solid jelly-like material thought to be similar to bathtub caulk, said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Peter Sepulveda. 

Cruz used a syringe, marked the women, then injected them while using Krazy glue to seal the punctures. The effects of the injections were so serious that one woman had to undergo five separate hospitalizations and multiple surgeries. Cruz-Dilworth charged anywhere from $650 to $1,250 dollars for the injections. The 5 foot 10 beauty now faces 3-5 years in prison.

On her Facebook page Cruz-Dilworth, says she graduated from West Orange High School and Montclair State University and owns 'It’s Anivia' cosmetics and skin care line. The company’s website says the line has not yet launched.

LA's perspective: I personally met and got to know Anivia Cruz at Kean University before she had the Dilworth on her last name. From what I know of Anivia she was always very sweet, very kind, and very creative but somewhat troubled from her past. It's hard for me to believe that she would do this on her own. 

I'm not justifying what she did, just a bit confused by her far out actions. So I only hope and pray that a thorough investigation is done on her behalf, as I do not believe she acted alone.

Did you see the BET awards this past Sunday? 
  
Rapper/singer/producer Queen Latifah, hosted the show this year and I must say she did a great job opening the with an original rap song that incorporated celebrities within the audience. It was to hilarious when she landed on singer Alicia Keys and producer Swizz Beats, stating that Alicia's baby will be cute as long as it looks like her!

Ms. Keys (seen-r) gave a jaw dropping performance in tribute to the artist, formerly known as Prince. She wowed the audience while singing "Adore" and hopped her very pregnant body atop her piano, while crawling around seductively as if to say, "that's right I'm still sexy, big belly and all!

Chris Brown (seen above) stole the show with his perfect Michael Jackson performance that clearly left him bawling afterwards. A few media outlets commented that Chris Brown broke down crying as a publicity stunt, but if you were watching closely his genuineness was obvious. In my opinion it appeared that Chris was both upset over the passing of his favorite idol MJ, as well as his own hellish situation this past year with former girlfriend and singer Rihanna. 

Chris sang "Man in the Mirror", which speaks volumes regarding responsibility and change. He had a rough year after his very public bout with his ex-girlfriend, and more than anything it seems the pop singer seeks forgiveness from his fans and friends. 

I hope forgiveness isn't to far off.

ElIn NoRdEgReN tO rEcEiVe 750 MiLlIoN iN dIvOrCe!

Tiger Woods' soon-to-be ex-wife Elin Nordegren (above-r), have finally reached a divorce settlement. Allegedly, Nordegren will receive 750 million from the legendary golf player. The divorce contract bans Elin from accepting book deals and interviews, that would discuss the previous year of their marriage. The parents will share custody of both children and Elin, has already vacated their Florida residence.

In the end, was Tiger the one that got played? 

Seven hundred and fifty million is a lot of cake for a divorce settlement; what did the attorney do multiple the 16 women Tiger slept with times 50 million? Originally, Elin signed a prenuptial agreement before her and Tiger wed, but I guess somewhere in the prenup it stipulated if any affairs occur a huge payout will follow?

Amidst Tiger's cheating revelations he stated that he would need to "pull a Kobe Bryant", as a way of reconciling with his wife but as we see Elin clearly doesn't feel inclined to reconcile their differences. It was naive of Tiger to think all he had to do was buy Elin's love back after he cheated; just because it worked for Kobe Bryant doesn't mean it'll work for all. And how much did he really think of his wife, to think that it could work?

Tisk, tisk, Tiger.
