Here lies your book boyfriend…naked.

OMG. Just watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes with James Franco. If you rooted for the ape in King Kong you will love this movie. Caesar the ape was a total gangster. For the record I am sooo against animal testing. If it was left up to me…

Nicki Minaj rocked the green with a lil bit of ombre a la fabu wig for the new issue of Paper magazine. Warning, if you read the interview, prepare yourself for some politically motivated filth. It’s a short interview, and the filth is almost an aside, but it’s still kinda raunchy…she was…
