JESSICA ALBA COVERS GLAMOUR FRANCE -SEE THE PIC!

Jessica Alba is looking hot on the August 2013 issue of Glamour France.

The issue, on newsstands now, features the 32-year-old actress in a black bra-top (the same one as Nicole Richie and Rihanna, perhaps?) and high-waisted bottoms in a psychedelic print. She accessorizes the look with cool layered necklaces and geometric earrings. We love the ensemble—particularly the slim-fitting pants that hug Ms. Alba's curves.

The star revealed the cover shot on her Instagram page: "Hey my peeps in #France pick up the newest issue of #Glamour"—showing a cropped version of the full cover image.

This is not the actress's only Glamour feature this season. She recently appeared in the summer edition of Glam Belleza Latina (a product of Glamour) that featured Salma Hayek on the cover, an actress who Alba regards as one of her influences: "I admire Rita Hayworth, Eva Perón, Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek Pinault—all different but all notable Latinas in their own right," Alba revealed.

In addition, a recent feature in online magazine Domaine showcases the Alba-Warren abode—a romantic Tuscan-style home filled with a quirky mix of modern pieces and antique furniture (the actress admits to being a Craigslist lover).

Alba has been busy on both coasts, attending good friend Narcisco Rodriguez's wedding in New York City on June 22 and, a little over a week later, shopping in Los Angeles for a baby shower gift. We love her easy, breezy summer style—the actress has been seen rocking comfy maxis, loose button-downs and torn jeans while out and about.

In contrast, her summer event style is decidedly elegant-chic: She's worn one of our favorite looks of the season (in a yellow Atelier Versace mini-dress with tangerine-colored Celine pumps) and, if Glamour France is any indication, will continue to wow both on the red carpet and covering fashion magazines.

MY TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH PETER OKOYE- MUNACHI ABII!

Former 2007 most beautiful girl in Nigeria (MBGN) turned rapper finally speaks out on the rumoured affair with one of the P-Square brothers Peter Okoye.

Love is life and it's the most beautifil thing to happen to anybody and yes i believe in love but between me and Peter, there's no such thing.

There is no romantic relationship between us, we are just close friends and i even know his family as well, as a matter of fact i've known his baby mama, Lola Omotayo for years.I was just invited to be in his video (Ifunanya) and that was it.

I know how much Peter and Lola love each other and i respect that, so i could never bring myself to hurt them.

NICOLE KIDMAN SIZZLES IN JIMMY CHOO CAMPAIGN- SEE THE SULTRY PICS!

Nicole Kidman, is that you?

We were surprised to see the actress ditch her blonde locks in favor of a sexy red bob with fab fringe in her Jimmy Choo ads, which the brand released today. As it turns out, the new 'do actually comes courtesy of a wig, but that doesn't make Kidman's mini-makeover for the campaign any less dramatic!

More recognizable, were her Academy Award-winning acting chops, which the actress definitely put to use in the brand's autumn/winter campaign, which plays on film noir themes and draws inspiration from Hitchcock heroines.

Looking every bit the femme fatale, Kidman opens the campaign video with a seductive stare amidst a mysterious foggy setting that definitely lends the ad a cool cinematic quality. Kidman shows off the brand's fierce Dane lattice booties, as well as its glam Ciggy clutch as she steps out of a convertible in an on-trend crop top and high-waisted skirt, before we see her in a new scene giving us even more eye candy in the form of the gorgeous Talan T-strap heels.

We've got to say, we'd probably make it to the movies more often if more feature films followed in the fab footsteps of the Jimmy Choo campaign and treated us to such a stylish parade of shoes!

The video saves the most stunning shoe for last: a seriously sexy over-the-knee boot that fits Kidman's long legs perfectly.

"Nicole has perfectly captured the mood of our AW13 collection; her character portrays the multi-faceted qualities of the Jimmy Choo woman for this season—strong, sexy with a beguiling sense of mystery," the luxury brand's creative director, Sandra Choi said in a statement.

For her part, Kidman had fun playing the role of a sultry bombshell with an enviable shoe collection.

"I really enjoyed being able to play a role that was strong, sexy and in control," Kidman revealed in a statement.

And she also loved working with photographer Mikael Jansson, who has shot for such publications as Vogue and W magazine.

"I got into a relationship with the photographer and Mikael is very intuitive, he knows what I am thinking and feeling and is able to translate it through the camera."

PIERCE BROSNAN'S DAUGHTER DIES-LOSES DAUGHTER TO CANCER!

Pierce Brosnan has suffered an eerily familiar tragic loss.

The actor's daughter Charlotte died Friday at 41 after battling ovarian cancer, the same disease that claimed her mother, Cassandra Harris, in 1991.

"On June 28 at 2 p.m. my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer," Brosnan said. "She was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella and Lucas and brothers Christopher and Sean."

He continued: "Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences."

Charlotte, who died in London, was one of Harris' two children from a previous marriage whom Brosnan adopted after their father passed away in 1986. He and Harris had another child together, son Sean, and he has two sons, Dylan and Paris, with wife Keely Shaye Smith.

Brosnan, who plays a widower dating a woman battling cancer in his latest film, Love Is All You Need, talked to Britain's Daily Mail in March about his role and Harris' death—a loss that he acknowledged he is still grieving to this day.

"I went through it all, very publicly," Brosnan told the paper. "Such things draw a mark across your heart and it's always a part of your life. To watch someone you love have their life eaten away—bit by bit, by this insidious and horrid disease— becomes an indelible part of your psyche. It certainly did for me and, of course, when I received this script, the challenge of playing this part was not lost on me."

There is no indication in the story that he revealed what his family was again going through at the time.

"I've sat in rooms with doctors and awaited the outcome of examinations, for results to come back," Brosnan said. "I've opened letters with bad news in them. I know what it's like, I really do."

"Cancer is a very sad thing but you can always take something from every experience. This film is proof of that," the erstwhile James Bond continued. "I've always been a positive thinker. I suppose Keely is my North Star, always looking out for me. And I guess that makes me more thankful and more up for it, up for taking on whatever life throws at me and whatever parts my career now puts my way."

ROYAL BABY WATCH! CAMERA'S LINE UP WEEKS EARLY AT KATE MIDDLETON'S HOSPITAL!

Hurry up and wait!

Photographers have already begun lining up at St. Mary's Hospital, where Kate Middleton is set to give birth to her first child with Prince William.

The cameras may be getting warmed up, but the Duchess of Cambridge's due date isn't for another few weeks.

It appears that British media is so ecstatic about the impending birth they can hardly wait!

The hospital, which is located in London's Paddington district, is making the final preparations to house Middleton and the future royal heir.

St. Mary's is the same hospital where Kate's husband was born 31 years ago, as was her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, a few years after that. William was actually the first future king of England to be born in a hospital, his father, Prince Charles, was born at Buckingham Palace while Charles' sister, Princess Anne, was born at Clarence House.

Middleton is slated to set up shop in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's, which is quite literally fit for a queen. Each suite offers a satellite TV, radio, safe, bedside phone, Internet access and a refrigerator. There is also a hotel services team which will personally cater to Kate's dietary needs. A wine list is also offered in the Lindo Wing, for when family and friends want to share a toast to their special delivery.

A "normal" night at the Lindo Wing requires a £5,500 ($8,600) deposit, and rates run £1,000 ($1,560) per 24 hours stayed over any originally scheduled time.

So what are the cameras lining up for exactly?

History would have it that the world gets its first glimpse of the royal baby when Kate and William bring him or her out in front of the hospital to meet the press, just as Princess Diana did with her two boys.

Everyone wins it seems: Mum and dad are prepared about what to expect (total madness, most likely) and we don't have to wait! However, should the new parents decide to go against tradition and not go that route, an official picture of the baby will be forthcoming.

It's only a matter of time before everyone gets to meet the latest addition to the royal family!

TOBY KEITH, TAYLOR SWIFT AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD TOP FORBES HIGHEST PAID COUNTRY MUSIC ACTS LIST!

Forbes has tallied up the top earners in the country music scene for the first time, and there are a few surprises on the list.

Toby Keith landed at the top, raking in an estimated $65 million in earnings. The singer has been in the game for a while now and has written a No. 1 song every year for the past two decades. To add to his already-lucrative career, he hits the road and tours the country every single summer.

That's one hard-working country star...Keith also owns a restaurant chain that boasts 18 locations across the nation.

Coming in at the No. 2 spot is none other than country songstress Taylor Swift .

The "22" singer took in a staggering $55 million in earnings thanks to her smash success and multiple endorsement deals with Sony, Diet Coke and Cover Girl.

The multi-platinum crooner also can credit her growing fragrance line to her profitable businesses.

Swift's latest album Red also helped push her into the second spot. The smash success sold 1.2 million copies in its first week alone.

Between the new tunes, business endeavors and her months-long tour, Swift's bank account is landing her in the big leagues.

Meanwhile, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw took the prize for the No. 3 and 4 spots, respectively.

Carrie Underwood made the top five with her estimated $31 million in earnings. The former American Idol winner saw her last album go platinum, which contributed to her success this year. She also went on tour and played over 100 shows during the period that Forbes tracked.

Brad Paisley came in just after Underwood with $30 million, and the Zac Brown Band landed at No. 7 with $26 million.

Rascal Flatts, George Strait and Jason Aldean rounded out the top 10 big moneymakers of the year. All three acts saw major album sales and sold-out shows as part of their recipe for success.

There seems to be no slowing down these country stars. Between mega-business deals and never-ending concert tours, the top earners are putting in the work to secure their spots on the list.
