Jason Derulo Speaks Out About Jordin Sparks Breakup: "Everything Is Cool"

Al Powers, Powers Imagery
Presumably those who were rooting for Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks to make it last are crushed—but the newly single Derulo is keeping his head up.

He told KDWB-FM's Big D, during a phone interview with the Twin Cities station today, that everything is "cool" between him and his ex. At first the "Talk Dirty to Me" artist said he'd "rather not" comment on the breakup, which E! News was first to report earlier Thursday, but Big D coaxed it out of him.
"Yeah," Derulo said when the DJ asked if he and Sparks would at least stay friends.

"Yeah, everything is cool, man," he continued. "It's not a bad situation. You know, it's not one of those kinda things."
He and Sparks were first romantically linked three years ago, and then went public as a couple in January 2012.

It's unclear when, exactly, the musically minded sweeties split up. They hit the red carpet together at the MTV Video Music Awards just a month ago, and Sparks was cheering him on from the audience when Derulo sat in as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance earlier this summer.

Asked at the beginning of August if he was planning on popping the question anytime soon, Derulo told E! News, "When the time is right, for sure."
"I knew that [he wanted to be with her longterm] pretty early on," he also said at the time. "I felt that when I was in the hospital with my neck injury...I felt different…I felt like I needed her in my world."

A source told us in confirming the split that it was mutual, but that they both care about each other and will remain in each other's lives as friends.
As for Jordin, she was apparently making music yesterday, tweeting, "Stu. Di. O."

News/ Kim Kardashian Prankster Vitalii Sediuk: I Hope She Won't Be Mad at Me After Paris Fashion Week Stunt

You may be asking for a little too much there, Vitalii Sediuk.
The infamous red carpet prankster is currently on damage control after pulling yet another one of his notorious stunts, this time against Kim Kardashian. The E! star was attacked while trying to make her way through the pandemonium outside of Balmain's Paris Fashion Week show when a man (who has been identified as Sediuk) dived for Kim's legs.

In a video that captured the encounter, Kris Jenner can be heard yelling, "Stop it," as she realized what was happening, while Kim seemingly yells, "Babe!" at Kanye West. Luckily, her security team was quick to subdue the individual and pull the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star to safety.
And now, Vitalii wants to make amends.

WATCH: See Vitalii Sediuk grab onto Kim Kardashian!
"The prank with Kim was my protest that US banned me from entering the country," Sediuk says in a statement to E! News. "I hope Kim is ok and won't be mad at me as I didn't mean any harm. Kanye is one lucky man as Kim is a Goddess!"
It was claimed that he had pulled Kim's hair, but a source close to him told The Daily Mail, "The information about Vitalii pulling Kim's hair is untrue. Vitalii hugged Kim which caused a big crowding with the security that pulled him down to the ground. Because of the mess, Kim may have lost her balance. But Vitalii didn't mean any harm."

Vitalii echoed similar sentiments when he posted a selfie with the famous trio's ride beside him and captioned the snapshot, "Kanye, you are one lucky man! Kim is Goddess!! #Balmain #PFW #KimKardashian #NoOffence #LOVE #KanyeWest #VitaliiSediuk #parisfashionweek #prankster #Paris@kimkardashian."

How to Get Away With Murder series premiere recap: 'Pilot'

• 
  

THIS IS WHERE I INTIMIDATE YOU Professor Keating (Viola Davis) keeps up her "Can you believe my teacher did that!?" reputation by using a class assignment to choose four students to work for her firm during the school year. The assignment prize is a statue of Lady Justice, which can be exchanged for extra credit and/or homicide.

"I don’t know what terrible things you’ve done in your life up to this point, but clearly your karma’s out of balance to get assigned my class. I’m Professor Annalise Keating and this is Criminal Law 100, or as I prefer to call it, How to Get Away with Murder." HEY-O! ANNALISE KEATING HAS SPOKEN.

Now, first things first—if you don’t immediately know how to pronounce the phrase How to Get Away with Murder, then you probably didn’t watch the show. Viola Davis says the phrase approximately three and a half times in the pilot and each utterance is more dramatic and eerie and fabulous than the last. If you don’t know how to pronounce the phrase, then you may not recognize that HTGAWM is meant to be your newest guilty pleasure roller-coaster ride, custom built for you to enjoy on Thursday nights paired with an entire pint of ice cream, a well-assembled cheese board, or your favorite toasted artisan crackers and Sauvignon Blanc (twist-cap only). And if you still don’t know how to perfectly over-pronounce “HOW to get a-WAY with MUR-der,” then you clearly aren’t buckled in for what’s going to become your new favorite legal thriller/Shondaland drama/time-wasting watercooler theory-fest.

As my colleague Melissa Maerz writes, the show is campy and colorful and solely intended to send you flying into a world of escape, which entails wild cliffhangers, unrealistic legal procedures, and shocking developments likely to spur a host of all-caps tweeting. True Detective this is not; I like to think #HTGAWM is a juicy mix of Pretty Little Liars ("We have to hide this body, girls!") and Legally Blonde ("FOUR of you will come join me at my firm!") with just a little hint of A Few Good Men to keep things classy.

And so, with those descriptions in mind, it’s my honor to be guiding you through these weekly recaps wherein we’ll laugh, cry, reveal our deepest fears and crippling insecurities, and try to unravel a few answers to the two major mysteries that were introduced in the pilot. Sometimes we’ll move chronologically and I’ll give you a solid play-by-play. For this jam-packed pilot, I think the best approach is to lay out exactly what we’re dealing with.

Season 1 will chart two murders—college student Lila Stangard and professor Sam Keating—and they’re cases which, I’d wager, are undeniably connected. And that’s about the extent to which I will wager anything from here on out because, much like visits to Taco Bell, you simply must plan for twists.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF LILA STANGARD
FACTS: Looming over the episode is the disappearance of a popular, pretty sorority girl named Lila Stangard who, according to flyers trumpeted all over campus in a very uncreative font, was last seen at a Kappa Kappa Theta party on August 30. The campus mourns and holds a vigil—in which her athlete boyfriend Griffin delivers a heartfelt speech—but shortly after her disappearance, Lila’s body is found floating in the water tank on the roof of her sorority house. (Fact: Sorority houses apparently have water tanks on their roofs.)
SUSPECT #1: Annalise Keating (Viola Davis)

Shocked? Our main conduit into the world of How to Get Away with Murder is Professor Keating, a fiercely terrifying yet wildly intelligent law professor who exercises sketchy moral ambiguity in the courtroom and a sick sense of humor about her awful reputation in the classroom. (Being so brilliant, you might wonder why she’s spending her time teaching a 100-level course, but she’s probably one of those teachers who gets her kicks frightening the young’uns at an early age to instill a proper threshold of fear, like a George Bluthian tiger mom.)

Now, I don’t believe that Annalise killed Lila, but I do think Annalise killed her husband Sam and Lila is the reason why. At the end of the episode, the news report announcing the discovery of Lila’s body appeared to distress Mr. Keating, but it left Annalise relatively blank-faced. (The wistful, vague Guess-My-Emotion expressions are a staple in Shondaland.) So, Lila is clearly a touchy subject in the Keating household. Was she Sam’s mistress, and Annalise found out and did something about it? Or will she take her vengeance out on Sam himself? Or, as Michaela foreshadows when she's presenting a case defense in class, "What better way to get revenge than to kill your cheating husband and pin it on his mistress?" (Watch out, Bonnie?)

If her cavalier attitude toward guilty clients and her ambiguous moral compass don’t already suggest Annalise's willingness to break bad, her dubious motives were, to me, on major display at the Dean’s cocktail party. Remember when she corners Wes in the bathroom? When she cries and confesses that she and her husband have been trying for a baby? When she rubs Wes’ chest and shoulders and arms in that slightly creepy, horny weeping willow way? I submit to you that it’s all an act, a calculated effort by Annalise to paint herself as a lonely married woman who fell victim to cheating in a moment of weakness—a helpful portrait for Annalise should Wes ever find himself talking about her to someone important. Granted, I could be wrong about whether those tears and that story are fake—but I believe Annalise had something to do with one of the murders. Because, like, let’s all just be up front and admit that on a show called How to Get Away with Murder, the main character is proooobably getting away with murder.

Red is the traditional color of Asian bridal wear

For a traditional bride who wants an Asian wedding dress it can be a daunting task to find one; you may have to order online and then find a seamstress to finish it to your personal specifications.

Here are some interesting facts about the beautiful Asian wedding dresses.

Red is the traditional color of Asian bridal wear; the dresses are made of rich fabrics in bright colors and adorned with ornate embroidery and beading.

The dresses are representative of traditional dresses worn by the brides of that culture.

The Asian bride usually doesn't wear a veil that covers her face, instead an ornate headpieces is what they most often wear.

While each Asian country has their own form of traditional dress and style they do all tend to be ornately detailed and use rich fabrics.

Shiro-Maku

The traditional dress of the Japanese bride is actually two kimonos: a white brocade kimono which is worn during the ceremony and a separate colorful kimono called a uchikake for the reception.

In a very traditional Japanese wedding, the bride's hair is done with a number of gold combs which is covered by a white headpiece called a tsuno kakushi; the covering of the gold combs symbolizes obedience.

Cheongsam

A Southern Chinese bride, as is custom, wears a bright red dress; in China this symbolizes luck.

The Cheongsam is a two piece gown.

It is embroidered with dragons and a phoenix and typically done for the most part in gold; the edges of the skirt and jacket usually have a gold trim also.

The traditional bridal crown has beading and fabric balls on top, it's very ornate is often one of the most expensive pieces of the outfit.

Jeogori and Chima

The Korean women's wedding attire includes a jeogori, which is a short jacket with long sleeves and two long ribbons which are tied to form the otgoreum.

bride is becoming a part of his family

For a Chinese wedding, just like in every other country, there are customs and traditions that are upheld. Traditionally, in China, the wedding is not about the bride, but the groom. It is his family that hosts the ceremony, as the bride is becoming a part of his family. Modern Cheongsam, it is custom that the bride and groom host the wedding and they become a part of each other's families.

Some customs do still take place in China, such as arranged marriages. Once the bride has been chosen for the groom, they are to be married on a lucky day according to the lunar calendar.

With all of these other traditions to be upheld, it is no surprise that the dress a Chinese bride wears is also part of the tradition. Depending on where in China a bride is from will determine the dress that she will wear. A bride in northern China will wear a one piece gown embroidered with silver and gold called a Qi Pao. Whereas the bride in southern China wears a two piece gown, Cheongsam, embroidered with a gold phoenix and dragons symbolizing male and female. However, what these wedding gowns do share is the Chinese color of luck - red. In the Chinese culture, it is believed that red will keep away evil.

Chinese Cheongsam has become a mainstream dress style

Another option for shopping online for a Chinese Cheongsam is to hit up American retailers and/or auctioneers. This can be a bit more expensive as far as individual item cost, but in many cases buyers save a substantial amount of money on shipping. Not to mention time when it comes to waiting for their item to arrive. Because domestically mailed packages often qualify for flat rate shipping, many shoppers are able to order multiple Chinese Cheongsams and have them delivered in a timely manner for a reasonable flat rate.

If you are more traditional when it comes to shopping for articles of clothing and prefer to try before you buy, you are going to want to look at brick and mortar stores rather than online. The problem is that the vast majority of traditional clothing stores simply do not carry Chinese Cheongsams. If this is the problem you are encountering, you may want to look at Chinese specialty shops instead. These types of outlets can be found at most larger shopping malls, and they often carry a wide array of inexpensive imported Chinese goods, including decorative items and apparel. If you are lucky enough to live in an area where shopping in this manner is a viable option, you will be rewarded with a physical inventory selection, the ability to try on your purchase, the ability to walk out of the store with your Chinese Cheongsam and the ability to know exactly the quality of item you are purchasing. These can all be excellent selling points.

Sleek, exotic and sexy, the Chinese Cheongsam has become a mainstream dress style. A fashion statement in itself, it is fast becoming a dress of choice for many women in the West as well. Visit our online Chinese Clothing store to check out more dresses available at really great prices.

The name "cheongsam" means simply "long dress"

All entrepreneurs have their own stories of how they started their own businesses. This article will tell the story of one amazing entrepreneur, who embarked on her journey 30 years ago. Under the recommendation of a close friend, I was fortunate to be able to meet with Jade, the proud owner and designer of Jade Collections, a boutique which specializes in cheongsams (or ciao) with intricate details and exquisite workmanship.

Jade was a freelance seamstress for several years before she started her first boutique at a tourist district well-known for tailoring services. It was difficult to make money out of the business then as the rent of the boutique was very high. In addition, most people of the time find it hard to accept cheongsams that can be bought off the rack, believing that made-to-measure cheongsams are of better quality.

Jade's break came when she was invited to lease a boutique at a newly built shopping mall, at a much more affordable rent. After several years of hard work and perseverance, Jade is now collecting the fruits of her labor. The impeccable workmanship of the cheongsams at Jade Collection has earned the boutique a good reputation among both new and regular customers, which consisted mainly of working professionals, brides, bride maids and mothers of the brides. New customers are built on a regular basis as more people are becoming aware that the quality and fit of a ready-made cheongsam can be as good, if not better, than one that is custom-made.

In my opinion, cheongsams from Jade Collections are dreams come true for modern women who are looking for designs which retain the traditional edge and appeal in the ever changing fashion industry. For busy women who are particular about finding a cheongsam with a good fit but who simply does not have the time to meet a tailor, cheongsams from Jade Collections may provide the best alternative solution to a custom-made piece. As many of the embellishments on the cheongsams are painstakingly hand sewn, the designs come in very small quantity and are truly unique.

For those of you who have never worn a cheongsam before, you will be amazed by how beautiful, elegant and charming a well-made piece can make you look once you put it on. The silhouette of a well-fitted cheongsam is made to accentuate the best of your figure and to express your feminine side. Interestingly, woman of many shapes and sizes (including plus-size) can wear a cheongsam, as long as the size is right. Minor alterations may be necessary at times but it is definitely worth the time and effort for a more glamorous look.

It is a myth that cheongsam is only meant for the perfect bodies
Cheongsam can be made with different materials to present different styles
