Beyonce's Jorts Really Shrunk in a Span of a Week, Huh? How Short Would You Wear Your Denim?

Another benefit of not one but two weekends of Coachella: a double sighting of Beyonce, who was on hand in all her music-festival fabulousness to support both hubby Jay Z and sister Solange on the stages. But obviously Queen Bey is not going to repeat looks like some people. Her hairstyle drastically changed in between the weekends, and her shorts also looked to be dramatically smaller!
Exhibit A: During weekend one, we see a tumble of gorgeous curls and shorts so short the pockets were hanging out. (Still, no visible undergarments.)

Exhibit B: One week later, Beyonce's rockin' some fringe and cutoffs so brief that her silky granny panties actually cover more surface area.

I mean, we're talking about Beyonce and coachella. So the superstar (who we've definitely seen in shorty-shorts before) wants to totally dress in the spirit of the festival, right? And when does she ever not look good? (Answer: never.)

Watch One Direction's New Music Video for "You and I"

When it comes to opinions on One Direction, I know you guys are all divide (into two directions, one might say?). I wasn't prepared to like 1D because when it comes to boy bands, my heart will always belong to NSYNC--then they were so cute on the cover of Glamour, I love listening to "Story of My Life," and I may or may not have found myself getting outfit ideas from Harry Styles.

 And now their brand-new music video for "You & I" just dropped today, and...well, I like it. Maybe it's because that gray sweater looks so dam cozy. (Remind me to ask the ladies over at Dressed where I can get it.) Maybe it's because the freeze-frame bit had some cool special effects. Anyway, watch for yourself and let me know what you think.

Kate Middleton Does a Ponytail

Kate Middleton put her perfect hair in a perfect ponytail yesterday at a wreath-laying service at a war memorial in New Zealand, and, of course, the whole thing was perfect.

The ponytail itself was smooth and tight, but there are two noteworthy things to discuss:
1)Her ends are slightly flippy so the "tail" looks extra full.
2)A rather substantial lock of hair was wrapped around the holder, holding it our from her head quite a bit. It was simple, but all very Duchess Catherine. A royal ponytail indeed.

Naya Rivera and Big Sean Have Called It Quits

Naya Rivera and her fiance, rapper Big Sean, have broken up, Big Sean's rep confirmed in a statement to People. The couple had been together--at least publicly--for about a year, and confirmed their engagement back in October.

Referring to recent reports from Star that Big Sean cheated on the Glee actress, the rapper's rep states that "The recent rumors and accusations reported by so-called or fake sources are simply untrue. Sean wishes Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privatel." We're sad to see this couple end, but can't deny that their song together, "sorry", now has a totally new meaning.

Let's Discuss Miranda Kerr's Highlights

Spring has sprung for Miranda Kerr, it seems. Not only is she on a sex diet, but she appears to have gotten some slightly lighter-than chunkier caramel highlght around her face (which you could see yesterday while she was promoting Reebok Skycraper shoes in Japan).

They brighten up her overall tone just a touch. It'sa very subtle shift but definitely a beachy move fro the change in season.

Kim Kardashian And Kayne West - On the April Cover Of Vogue

Kim Kardashian and Kayne West are on the April cover of vogue. Kim in strapless white dress and Kayne in a suit.  Check out the lovely couples.

So, This Is Happening: Monica Lewinsky's Clothing, Lingerie Up for Auction

Monica Lewinsky's wardrobe and personal effects from her time spent as a White House intern are on the auction block. The raciest item is a black negligee, but there are also a few button-down shirts, blazers, an Ann Taylor jacket, navy blue DKNY pants, letters written on official White House stationery and old boxes of M&M's with the presidential seal. One item not on sale: that infamous blue dress. All of the items were originally obtained as part of the federal investigation into Monica's affair with President Bill Clinton.
If you thought this story was weird, get a load of this: Apparently some of the items, at some point, were given by Monica to her former lover Andy Bleiler as gifts, but now they are all owned by his ex-wife, Kate, according to ABC.

There are so many unanswered questions here that my head is spinning. Why would Monica give some of these items to her old boyfriend? Why would his ex-wife have possession of them now?

The entire lot is allegedly worth $25,000 and $50,000, and bidding ends on Thursday. ABC reported that Monica lives in the U.K. now and wasn't available to comment.
