Like mother, like daughter.

Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio shared a selfie with daughter Anja, 8, via Instagram.

“Flower Power #mygirl #snapsave,” the Brazilian beauty, 35, captioned the image.

On Wednesday (September 7), we spotted the model mom out with son Noah, 4, for a sushi lunch in Brentwood, Calif.

And on Saturday, the mother-son duo were seen enjoying the Malibu Chili Cook-Off. They were also joined by papa Jamie Mazur.

Eva Mendes has a fashion line with New York and Company, which is of course how many celebrities earn revenue and seems smart on her part. She’s been with them since 2013 and last year they extended their agreement up until 2019 so it’s obviously a mutually beneficial partnership. Eva has a new interview with ET Online discussing her fashion line, which had a show at NYFW. ET had a brief video of the show and they had models of all sizes, which was nice to see. She talked about her love of dresses because they’re easy to get on and off and joked that her fashion sense involves finding clothing without vomit on it. Eva and her partner, Ryan Gosling, have daughters Amada, four months, and Esmeralda, who turns two next week. She also said that she’s not in talks to do Fast 8, as has been rumored. (She was in the second and fifth one and IMDB has her listed for Fast 8, but she says that’s not happening.)

ET caught up with the always fashionable actress at her New York & Company Spring Summer 2017 runway show at Academy Mansion in New York City on Tuesday, where she dished on how her fashion has changed thanks to her two daughters –1-year-old Esmeralda and 4-month-old Amada — with longtime love Ryan Gosling.

“I’ll just wear anything clean at this point,” Mendes joked. “If it doesn’t have baby vomit on it, I’ll wear it!”

The 42-year-old actress is similarly down-to-earth when it comes to her personal style. Mendes — who admits to using baby powder as a dry shampoo alternative — prefers nothing too constricting.

“I really love dresses and anything that’s really comfortable — not, like, jeans that are hard to get on and off,” she explains.

Indeed, Mendes looked chic in a lace burgundy dress at the event — a piece from her own New York & Company collection that retails for $80 — which she added sleeves to.

As for her acting career, the mother of two debunked rumors that she’ll be reprising her role as agent Monica Fuentes in the upcoming Fast 8, the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise.

“It’s not even in discussion,” Mendes said.

Eva made that joke about checking for vomit on her clothing a couple of months ago too, when she was promoting her beauty line with Circa Beauty. It’s probably true that she has to make sure she doesn’t have baby puke on her before she goes out. (I don’t miss that time!) As for what she said about dresses, I feel exactly the same. In fact Jessica at Go Fug Yourself wrote something strikingly similar that last month, and I remember it because I tweeted about it. She wrote “I personally love a dress. They are so easy! You can just throw one on and it’s your whole outfit!” And, like Jessica when she wrote that, I’m wearing a dress now too. Wrap dresses and jersey dresses are my favorite, especially in the summer because they’re light and you feel like you’re both casual and dressy enough to go anywhere.

As for Mendes’ style backstage at Fashion Week, I like the lace burgundy dress and would definitely wear that, but the stockings don’t seem like they go with it. It’s kind of overkill with the stockings because the patterns compete somewhat. Also the turban is back! Eva is wearing a turban again and I love that. She’s going to bring turbans back. Nick Cannon already got the memo. (Update: and Alicia Keys!)

This is the coat she wore with it, which – yeah, overkill.

Dear Gossips,

You know that Lukas Graham song, 7 Years? Not my favourite. In fact, I think I almost hate it. It’s SO corny. And you can’t get away from it in bathrooms that play the radio. Have you noticed it’s always playing in the bathroom? Also Ed Sheeran songs, always being played in the …

Dear Gossips,

You know that Lukas Graham song, 7 Years? Not my favourite. In fact, I think I almost hate it. It’s SO corny. And you can’t get away from it in bathrooms that play the radio. Have you noticed it’s always playing in the bathroom? Also Ed Sheeran songs, always being played in the …

As we discussed yesterday, Zendaya Coleman got on Snapchat on Tuesday and accused a Vons clerk of racial discrimination. Well… maybe “discrimination” is the wrong word to use, but Zendaya and her friend did say outright that they felt they had been mistreated based on their skin color. Zendaya was trying to buy $400 worth of gift cards at Vons and she said the Vons clerk told her that she couldn’t afford the purchase, and that the clerk threw her wallet back at her.

Hours after Zendaya’s Snapchats got widespread coverage, TMZ spoke to a Vons rep who insisted that there’s merely a limit to how much can be charged on one’s credit card when buying gift cards (which is something I theorized about in my post). The rep also insisted that the Vons manager allowed Zendaya to make her purchase. Vons later released an official statement about the incident:

“At Vons, we strive to treat each and every customer with the utmost respect. There is a policy that limits gift card purchases using a credit card. Zendaya was able to purchase gift cards up to our limit, and we apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding.”

“We respect Zendaya’s voice in the community and similarly are committed to diversity and inclusion. Moreover, we understand that race is a sensitive issue in America and view this experience as a reminder that every interaction is an opportunity to treat each customer as we ourselves would like to be treated.”

[From People]

My thing is that none of this is a concrete denial that a Vons clerk was rude to Zendaya, and that the alleged rudeness was possibly because of her race. I get that there could have been a misunderstanding about what can be charged and the limits of what you can put on a gift card – I’ve dealt with that in stores too, and it’s a pain in the ass, and I felt (at the time) that the rules were arbitrary and stupid. But Zendaya’s complaint wasn’t just about a misunderstanding about the rules of gift cards. She and her friend said outright that the clerk was rude because of their race. And I tend to believe them.

Kanye West’s big NYFW show was held yesterday. Apparently, it was a huge, humid, hot mess. Kanye bused people onto Roosevelt Island, or they could take the F-train, and there were some crazy delays. USA Today and the Daily Beast, along with other outlets, described the terrible conditions involving people being trapped on buses, models fainting after being left out in the sun for too long, and everyone getting progressively hotter and tired of the delays. Only Billboard gave Kanye the benefit of the doubt, theorizing that perhaps the whole thing was some sort of meta commentary on fame and performance art.

A few more things, because there are like a million new pieces of Kanye-news. He is working on an album with Drake. Kanye signed Tyga to his label. Kanye is doing an infant/kids line with the Yeezy collaboration. Adidas is making a larger investment in Yeezy too, and there will be brick-and-mortar Yeezy stores coming to a city near you. And Kanye gave a pre-show interview to Vogue where he dropped some additional news/corrections. Like, people were so mad about his model casting call for “multiracial women” and apparently the actual casting call was a huge mess too. Some highlights from Kanye’s interview:

The Yeezy collection: “I want to make pieces that can be timeless. Pieces that you can pick up out of a vintage store in 20 years and say, ‘Wow, I’m happy I have this.’ ”

Invisibility: “When people asked me, ‘if you could have a superpower, what would would it be?’ I said the ability to be invisible. And this was before I was famous. Because there’s absolutely no way for me or my family to be invisible, I’ve put that longing for invisibility into the clothes.”

Yeezy stores: “I believe the first one will be in California, since that’s where I stay now. I can go by there most often, check in, get the vibe. But I want to do 200 stores in the next year. That’s just me saying what I want. I’m not saying what can definitely happen but you might as well just state out loud what you want. That’ll put you one step closer to getting it.”

What he meant by “multiracial women only”: “How do you word the idea that you want all variations of black? How do you word that exactly?”

Trying to be more conciliatory: “That’s always the place that I was in. I was just saying the wrong things out loud.”

[From Vogue]

Well, you have to give him *some* credit – everyone thought he was delusional, but the Yeezy collection is really popular. As for the terrible show… Kanye loves big drama, and it probably irritates him to no end that everything didn’t go perfectly. He needs to find a balance between his love of big drama and, you know, efficiency.

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian out and about in NY yesterday. With bonus Saint! Kim’s modeling some of Kanye’s collection.

Here are some photos of Taylor Swift out and about in New York yesterday. She was photographed leaving her gym during the day, then she went out to dinner with Lily Aldridge in the evening. Taylor wants you to know that she’s fine. She wants you to know that she controls this breakup narrative. Sources told The Sun – the same paper getting some surprising Snake Emoji exclusives – that Tay-Tay isn’t “losing sleep” over the Tiddlesplit, and “Taylor is in her mid-twenties and enjoys dating men. So what? She’ll carry on until one of them turns out to be the real deal. She’s not pressing any panic button yet.” Those will be the song titles: Losing Sleep, Panic Button, The Real Deal. Viral marketing.

As for the Tiddlesplit, there are still mixed reports about what actually went down between Tay-Tay and Tommy Hiddles. Us Weekly still seems to indicate that Taylor dumped Tom because he’s such a famewhore, but Taylor “feels a little embarrassed that the whole world saw them so serious and now it’s over.” Still, the source tells Us Weekly that “They could get back together when Tom is done filming and comes back to the States. It’s possible they will see each other and make it work. She had an amazing time with him.” My opinion: Us Weekly is getting their info from Team Swift (thus, their cover story) and Taylor trying to play it like “maybe we’ll get back together” is Classic Dumped. She did the same thing with Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles too, tried to play it like she didn’t get dumped, and tried to stalk both of them into getting back with her. Remember when she went to London to follow Harry Styles around just after he dumped her? Remember when she stalked Jake at the VF Oscar party?

Speaking of Classic Dumped, sources now tell Heat Street/DM that yeah, Tom Hiddleston dumped Taylor. Because he was bored.

He was said to have been ‘humiliated’ after being dumped in the midst of their very public love affair. But now friends of Tom Hiddleston have come forward to claim it was in fact he who decided to give Taylor Swift the flick as he had grown ‘tired of her.’ Indeed the 35-year-old Thor star is said to be so fickle with women that he dumps them all with monotonous regularity, a development which led his associates christening the time frame as ‘the three month rule.’

A theatre producer who worked with the wannabe James Bond on Coriolanus told Heat Street: ‘The reports are wide of the mark and come as news to all Tom’s friends. He grew tired of Taylor, it wasn’t the other way round.’

Team Taylor had mooted the idea that she decided to get rid of Tom after he demanded she walk the Emmys red carpet with him, in what would appear to be a transparent attempt to boost his career. But the friend said: ‘Tom drifted from her and it had nothing to do with her being put off by the publicity. It’s more to do with the fact he’s a commitment-phobe who gets bored very easily.’

As if that was not enough, the footloose and fancy free star is supposedly noted by friends for a ‘three month rule’ which dictates when he gets sick of his latest romantic partner. His pal said: ‘Even his sisters affectionately chide him on his lack of relationship staying power.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Before Taylor Swift, no one really knew much about Tom’s love life, so I don’t know if the “three-month” thing is historically correct for him. It seems like Jane Arthy lingered for a lot longer than three months, and Tom and Elizabeth Olsen were bringing the covert drama for more than a year. Is it possible he was “bored” with Taylor? Sure. But getting dumped by guys after three months is sort of her M.O. as well.
