Justin Bieber Gets Booed at the Billboard Awards - Understandable or Unnecessary?

Lauren Turner — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:45:02 PDT

Justin Bieber took the stage multiple times at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards - but fans may remember one appearance in particular. Justin got in front of the microphone to accept his milestone award, which was one of two that he picked up, and declared:

"I'm 19 years old, I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I really just want to say it should be about the music, the craft. This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken of."

His words were presumably in response to the recent controversy surrounding the star, including his tweet about Anne Frank, the cancellation of an Oman concert, his attempt to illegally bring a pet monkey into Germany, and his relationship status with Selena Gomez. The crowd responded with a mix of cheers and boos, with the boos apparently much louder than what can be heard in the video. Watch the clip and tell us - do you think the backlash was understandable or totally unnecessary?

Surf Rat Hoods For Beach Babes: Ga Ga or Gag?

Lisa Horten — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:04:53 PDT

When it comes to kids apparel trends, hooded scarves have been hot for a few years now. They serve multiple functions on chilly Winter days, keeping little heads, necks, and hands warm all at once, and with the added kiddie appeal of coming in a variety of different animal themes, these hooded scarves have naturally taken off as a trend. But what about when Winter's over?

A new line from Spirit Hoods Kids is offering a solution to working your kids' favorite accessory into their Summer wardrobes. Surf Rat Hoods are cotton and terrycloth variations of the standard hooded scarf and are meant for pool or beachside use. The one-size-fits-all (ages 4 to 12) hoods retail for $49 each and come in pink or blue. A portion of the net proceeds from all of the brand's sales go toward the conservation of endangered animals, making the hoods a purchase that you can feel good about and turn into a learning lesson for your children.

We have to admit - the hoods are pretty cute, and plenty of kids out there would love wearing them on their summertime adventures . . . but do they serve a purpose? Would you buy a Surf Rat Hood for your kids?

The dreamy clothes at the Christian Dior Resort 2014 show didn't stop at runway's end. The collection, which was presented in Monaco over the weekend, also played host to one very stylish front row. Jessica Biel chose this stunning Fall 2013 dress - a look that perfectly encapsulated ladylike glamour with its houndstooth-print bustier and draped black skirt. Meanwhile, Marion Cotillard chose a no-frills white pre-Fall 2013 leather trench coat, only to spice things up with a pair of neon cap-toe pumps. And Liv Tyler went with an all-black - and navy - approach in a Dior bustier. Now that you've got the fashion facts, who gets your best-dressed vote in the Dior showdown?

Billboard Awards Beauty: Ke$ha's Makeunder

Jaime Richards — Sun, 19 May 2013 19:15:47 PDT

Forget bold hair color, glittery eye shadow, and neon lipstick; Ke$ha's 2013 Billboard Music Awards beauty look was anything but wild. Donning a neutral makeup palette and simply pretty ponytail, the songstress was almost unrecognizable. There's something to be said about low-key beauty, though. What's your take on Ke$ha's makeunder?

Billboard Music Awards: Madonna

On the heels of her Met Gala appearance, Madonna is at it again at the Billboard Music Awards. The (first) Queen of Pop received the top touring artist award, and while she may have skipped the red carpet, her Givenchy Haute Couture outfit was certainly worth the wait. Dressed in some recognizable pieces courtesy of the aforementioned Met Gala, Madonna took the stage in a black fishnet dress, topped with a texturized, cropped, and feather-collared bomber jacket. But the look didn't end there. She wore it all cinched with a grommet-embellished wide belt and finished with thigh-high stockings, which were fastened with a garter belt. As for the last bit of accessories? She also rocked her monogrammed padlock choker, statement sunglasses, and black platform pumps. Did she nail it?

Billboard Music Awards: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez flaunted her figure in a Zuhair Murad gown that showed off her stems with sheer, embellished fabric and a neckline that plunged toward her navel. It was all about gold, too - the dress sparkled thanks to metallic scales, and the effect was finished with ankle-strap pumps and a clutch in the same hue. Do you like it all together?

Billboard Music Awards: Taylor Swift

Marisa Tom — Sun, 19 May 2013 18:02:09 PDT

Taylor Swift is no stranger to wearing Zuhair Murad's sexy dresses (the proof here and here), and tonight's Billboard Music Awards reminded us why we love when she does. Her electric blue Pre-Fall 2013 look showed off the singer's long legs, but the skin-baring elements didn't stop there. The long-sleeved mini also gave way to sheer insets and symmetrical cutouts on both the neckline and back. Swift polished it all off with a knuckle ring, pewter-colored earrings and heels, and sultry eye makeup to match. Are you into it?

Billboard Music Awards: Emmy Rossum

Long sleeves and a floor-sweeping silhouette didn't mean Emmy Rossum's velvet Zuhair Murad look was buttoned-up. Far from it! Sheer, spotted fabric let the actress flash some skin, and from the back, it was positively sultry. Do you like the hourglass effect Emmy achieved?

Billboard Music Awards: Miley Cyrus

Marisa Tom — Sun, 19 May 2013 17:28:04 PDT

Miley Cyrus is on a hot streak, with the Billboard Music Awards as her latest reason to stun in something equal parts sexy and rocker chick. Her black-and-white Balmain jumpsuit featured an intricately woven texture and some serious all-over checkerboard print - which meant she needed only a pair of Givenchy heels and a bold red lip to finish. Perhaps it's the bleached pixie cut, being named No. 1 on Maxim's annual Hot 100 list, a little leftover inspiration from her Met Gala getup, or all of the above - either way, Miley knows how to make a red carpet statement these days. Do you agree?
