Hailey Baldwin ... Hailey BIEBER, I mean ... is the new face of Levi's 501s and we LOVE this campaign!
First off -- Hailey's not just the face of the brand, she's the only representative ever of the most iconic name in denim. That's BIG. Second, Levi's is referring to the young supermodel as Hailey BIEBER in all of their press material so it's totally official now -- her checks are being written to Hailey Bieber, apparently.
Hailey said recently of the partnership: "I’ve been wearing 501 cut-offs since I can remember… they make me feel like me." Chief marketing officer of Levi Strauss Jennifer Sey commented: "Hailey has been wearing our icons, Levi’s 501s and 501 shorts and trucker jackets, without us having to ask her to. She’s a real authentic fan."
So why is Hailey the first-ever face of the brand? Sey told WWD: "It never felt right before, but we love Hailey’s energy and optimism. It felt like the right time to associate a face with 501."
Mrs. Bieber's first big gig for the brand? Coachella! Not such a bad gig, right? Hailey will head out to the desert for the music festival next weekend to promote Levi's 501 at various parties and events surrounding Coachella including hosting the brand's fourth annual poolside brunch on April 13 with Snoop Dogg and St. Vincent. Sounds like fun; we're guessing Justin Bieber will go along for the ride!

Beyonce wants what she wants ... and good for her!
The Queen Bey is celebrating her new deal with Adidas to revive her Ivy Park athleticwear brand but a new report claims she initially spoke with Reebok and eventually turned down the heritage label.
On ESPN's The Jump on Thursday, reporter Nick DePaula said he heard Bey walked out of a meeting with Reebok because their team wasn't diverse. He started by saying the presentation to Beyonce was amazing -- everything she would normally want in a product line. But ... "... she kind of took a step back and said ‘is this the team who will be working on my product?’ And someone said ‘yes.’ And she said ‘no one in this room reflects my background or skin color and where I’m from and what I want to do.’ So she kind of took a step back and left and then did not come to terms."
So Adidas it is! The "Drunk In Love" singer will launch a new footwear line with the label as well as re-releasing her Ivy Park apparel line. Knowles bought out Topshop billionaire Phillipe Green's percentage of her Ivy Wear line back in November after the clothing mogul faced allegations of sexual harassment and racial abuse.
Beyonce said in a statement released Thursday about the new partnership: "This is the partnership of a lifetime for me. Adidas has had tremendous success in pushing creative boundaries. We share a philosophy that puts creativity, growth and social responsibility at the forefront of business." Kinda funny she'll be brand-mates with frenemy Kanye West who's gunning for the position of creative director of Adidas. Could that ever even happen?!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner touched down at Van Nuys airport Thursday after a family vacation TOGETHER in the Caribbean for the kids' spring break ... yes, TOGETHER!
These two are very successfully co-parenting their three kids -- Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel -- and taking the somewhat unusual step of continuing to do family vacations together for the sake of the kids. #Mature!
A source tells X17online the group was in Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos -- where Ben and Jen were MARRIED in 2005!!! Seems kinda crazy they went back to the site of their nuptials, more than a decade after Ben put a ring on it, their marriage has dissolved. But, no harm, no foul. It's a tough rode, but they're keepin' it together!
FIRE! Kylie Jenner and baby daddy Travis Scott are on "baecation" and it's hot!
The Lip Kit mogul posted a couple sexy snaps of the couple's vacay in an unknown tropical locale -- her straddling the rapper in the pool with an awkward third wheel taking the pic :) Sis Kendall even commented, "Who took these pics? Love a third wheel." Kylie responded, "Self timer baby." Ha!
Kylie first posted on March 29, with snaps of her wearing a revealing white see-through dress and bandeau -- with her siblings and famous pals commenting on the billionaire's look (below).
The trip comes after reports Travis cheated on Kylie -- which he denied -- and then subsequent rumors the "Sicko Mode" rapper was DM'ing girls with inappropriate messages and Kylie found out. Jenner decided not to end her relationship over the issue, but the two fought it out before making up.
So will Travis propose to his lady any time soon? He's said in the past he has to think of a "fire way" to do it -- seemingly suggesting it's a foregone conclusion that he'll put a ring on it. And reports have claimed the couple have discussed baby number two. So when will it happen???

Olivia Jade is still pissed at her parents and amid the family feud, it's quite possible Aunt Becky could go to PRISON!
Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman were among the parents who showed up at a Boston courthouse yesterday to face charges of mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud after being busted by the FBI for a wide-reaching college entrance scam.
A law enforcement official with knowledge of the case has said Loughlin and Huffman, along with 31 other parents charged in the case, face between six and 21 months behind bars if they plead guilty or are convicted at trial, according to CNN.
It's likely Loughlin and Huffman will strike a plea deal over the next few weeks -- it's reported ten of the parents are expected to do so. So that means the other 23 are going to trial?! Good luck!
So back to Olivia Jade ... the YouTuber is reportedly not speaking with her mom, with whom she was very close before this whole scandal broke. A source tells Us Weekly: "[Olivia] was passionate about her career, and now everything she built has imploded before her eyes. She feels [her parents] ruined everything."
A second source tells the mag: "Olivia blames her mom and dad for this scandal and for the downfall of her career."
We can't wait to see how all these players end up trying to make a comeback!
Wow! Is this TMI? Guess you have to give credit to the over-sharing Hilaria Baldwin for also over-sharing when things aren't great ... the yogi/journalist/wife of Alec posted a pic to Instagram, on Thursday, in which she's cradling a teeny tiny bump, with the caption: "I want to share with you that I am most likely experiencing a miscarriage. I always promised myself that if I were to get pregnant again, I would share the news with you guys pretty early, even if that means suffering a public loss. I have always been so open with you all about my family, fitness, pregnancies…and I don’t want to keep this from you, just because it isn’t as positive and shiny as the rest.â€
"I think it’s important to show the truth,†she continued, “because my job is to help people by being real and open. Furthermore, I have no shame or embarrassment with this experience. I want to be a part of the effort to normalize miscarriage and remove the stigma from it. There is so much secrecy during the first trimester. This works for some, but I personally find it to be exhausting. I’m nauseous, tired, my body is changing. And I have to pretend that everything is just fine — and it truly isn’t. I don’t want to have to pretend anymore. I hope you understand."
Then she got into the details ... "So, this is what is going on now. The embryo has a heartbeat, but it isn’t strong, and the baby isn’t growing very much. So we wait — and this is hard. So much uncertainty … but the chances are very, very small that this is a viable pregnancy. I have complete confidence that my family and I will get through this, even if the journey is difficult.â€
"I am so blessed with my amazing doctor, my dear friends, and my loving family,†Baldwin wrote. “My husband and my four very healthy babies help me keep it together and have the perspective of how truly beautiful life is, even when it occasionally seems ugly. The luck and gratitude I feel that I am my babies’ mommy, is wonderfully overwhelming and comforting.â€
Then -- and it's sad she has to ask for this -- she begs commenters to have a heart: "In your comments, please be kind. I’m feeling a bit fragile and I need support. I’m hoping, that by sharing this, I can contribute to raising awareness about this sensitive topic."
Hilaria and Alec are VERY busy -- they already have four kids: daughter Carmen Gabriela, 5½, sons Romeo Alejandro David, 10 months, Leonardo Ãngel Charles, 2½, and Rafael Thomas, 3½.
"Kevin commends Britney for recognizing that she needs to take a step back and that she is taking reasonable steps to dealing with her situation in a responsible way," Mark Vincent Kaplan told Entertainment Tonight of his client Federline.
Reports claim Federline is seeking an increase in child support payments while he cares for the former couple's sons Sean Preston, 13, and Jayden, 12. Gee, nothing like adding insult to injury!
Obviously Britney experienced mental health issues back in 2007/2008 when we snapped her in the new infamous umbrella attack on our photographer's car and of course, that time she shaved her head ...
Brit seemed to hint that something was up in her last Instagram. She posted this meme that reads, "Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind body, and spirit."

Oh no! Our favorite lady Britney Spears has checked into a mental health facility amid her father Jamie's heath issues which reportedly stressed the singer to the point of seeking help for herself.
Britney is staying in a "wellness center that prioritizes physical, mental and spiritual well-being and Britney will be there for a few weeks," a source tells Us Weekly.
Jamie Spears has been battling serious colon issues over the past year, which caused Brit to take a hiatus from her Las Vegas residency in January. Now, after complications following two recent surgeries, Jaime isn't doing so well and it's clearly wearing on Brit. She checked into a facility to deal with her apparent depression a week ago, according to TMZ and the site's source says Spears will be there for 30 days.
Jamie recently became the sole conservator of his daughter and her estate after lawyer Andrew Wallet resigned as co-conservator in October.
Stay tuned for more news on Brit as we get it ... You're in our thoughts and prayers, Britney!!!
