Kesha’s Book My Crazy Beautiful Life: Exclusive Details!

Nov 20, 2012 @ 4:00 pm

Ke$ha is 25, and she already has a memoir! Available today, My Crazy Beautiful Life (Simon & Schuster, $23) tells the story of how she became the glitter-covered wild-child figure she is today. “I wanted to make a scrapbook for my fans, and share this crazy story with the people who have made it all possible,” she told InStyle.com. In turn, the 192 pages show a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the at-times risque singer (who just this morning performed on the Today show) “tik-tok,” with a mix of backstage photography and first-person anecdotes. It also shows her growth as a woman. “I try to keep everyone on their toes, but I’m certainly embracing a bit more femininity in my style,” she told InStyle.com. That said, she’s not quieting her wild ways any time soon—her current style icon is Willy Wonka, and she says she normally takes “an entire semi just full of glitter” on tour with her. Well, she certainly keeps it interesting! Click here to pick up her book, available starting today, and keep an eye out for her new albume Warrior, in stores December 4th.

Saks Transformed Its Building Into a Super Cool Holiday Movie

Nov 20, 2012 @ 2:30 pm

Saks Fifth Avenue transformed its New York flagship store into a movie screen at last night’s holiday windows unveiling for a two-minute film called “Snowflake Spectacular,” and spectacular it was! To create the mesmerizing lifelike 3D images that altered the look of the building itself—which included windows looking like they opened and closed to the music and gifts stacked to the sky, all set to the upbeat portion of “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo” by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra—Saks used a custom-made six-projector system. And you don’t have to be in New York to watch it! See the projection above—it will certainly put you in the holiday mood.

Dancing With the Stars: Karina Smirnoff on Her Semi-Finals Looks

Nov 20, 2012 @ 1:34 pm

Five couples remain on Dancing With the Stars—and two of those will be eliminated tonight! With the semi-finals pressure on, we caught up with Karina Smirnoff to get the inside scoop on how she made her double dose of costumes stand out on the dance floor with partner Apolo Anton Ohno. “I wanted to make the songs match the outfits and the themes,” she told InStyle.com of her inspiration. Their first number, a Big Top Jazz routine to “What You Waiting For?” by Gwen Stefani, featured red, white, and black circus-inspired outfits topped off with thematic face paint. “I really wanted to take in the character in my outfit in this dance,” Smirnoff said. “It was called Big Top Jazz for a reason!” For their second dance, a rumba to “Man in the Mirror,” she wanted her look to have a “sensual, sexy, with a touch of innocence” feel. “I really didn’t want the dress to stand out for this dance,” Smirnoff said of her all-white look, which featured accents of embroidery, beats, and cut-out sections. “The song, dance, and dedication of it was the most important. I hope audiences saw and felt that.” We certainly did! Tune in tonight on ABC at 8/7c to see if Apolo and Karina make it to the finals.
