She just keeps getting better with age!
Mariah Carey shared her new cover art for her single "The Art of Letting Go" with her 14 million Facebook followers yesterday, and the singer has never looked hotter!
The 43-year-old seductively posed in a sexy crochet swimsuit that showcased her amazing physique, and the shot totally reminds us of vintage Mimi!
The new tune is set for release on November 11.
"As a songwriter, I never like to be too totally specific, because I like people to be able to make it about their own life experiences. [But] there is an art to learning how to let go of things in your life, people in your life, things that are not good for you. Whatever the case may be. There's an emotion to it, as you listen to the song start to finish, that you can tell that it's me if it's anybody that's ever met me or been listening to music over however long," she explained to
CNN of her musical aspirations.
We can't wait to hear it!

Kanye West sat down for a chat with Ryan Seacrest on Kiss FM on Tuesday, and the rapper unleashed yet another batch of awesome quotes about drinking (and how this puts him on the same level as William Shakespeare), why Kim Kardashian deserves a
Vogue cover and how he wants to design churches. We love how we can always count on the rapper to entertain us!
Here are our fav lines from the interview:
- "Kim is definitely not around me to be famous and I’m not around her to be. I’m around her because she’s awesome and she looks amazing and she’s a sweet person … It’s an unfair level of awesomeness in one person to be that smart, to be that nice to be … blatantly fine as hell. Like, one of the most beautiful people of all time. She’s not hard to wake up to.”
- "Now for me, what I want to create isn’t about black and white, but the reason why I’m not able to create what I want to create is about being black and is about classism. And that’s that wall when I took [Kim] to the Met Ball and they put it up on Vogue.com and tried to say she wasn’t there because they didn’t want a reality show girl there. Or like with the Hollywood Walk of Fame … it’s not the walk of singing … it’s the Walk of Fame."
- "We have our cool table … and there’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue. She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday … and collectively we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President] Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day … so it’s to say when we are there and [editor-in-chief of French Vogue] Carine Roitfeld supports my girl, that’s a breakthrough … there’s a wall of classism that we are breaking through.”
- “Just drink! I’m sure I’m not supposed to say that, but I drink Grey Goose. And I’m not getting paid anything from them, but I’m going to tell you as a man – and they said Shakespeare was like a drunk and yes, I said that to blatantly compare myself to Shakespeare – you know, I’m not perfect. And certain mornings or in the evening, and I’m not a falling over drunk, but I’ll pour a little Goose, grab some ice cubes, and just practice patience.”
- "[Regarding the Taylor Swift incident at the 2009 VMAs] I would not want some crazy drunk rockstar cutting my daughter off also. But, my daughter would 100% also be like, ‘Yes, Beyonce did have the best video.’ That’s what my daughter would do!”
- “[When I proposed to Kim] I was nervous. I was talking to her cousin. I was like, ‘I don’t know, what do you think she’s going to say?’ I’m not arrogant about love and feelings at all. I’m confident in the work I put so much work into, but this is someone else’s feelings. You never know what someone else may feel at the time. I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time. I remember I saw a picture of her and Paris Hilton … and I remember telling my boy … ‘Have you seen that girl Kim Kar-dijon?’”
- "I want to design churches. I want to use everything I did to design Watch the Throne to design new churches.”
- "The problem isn’t whether or not you are the best – it’s the way you’re saying it. People get really hung up on the way I word things. But I am the best. That’s the bottom line.”

Um, Jessica Biel can't possibly be happy about this sexy onscreen hookup!
Justin Timberlake has released the music video for his new single "TKO," and not only does he get dragged around in the dirt behind a truck for a good portion of the video, but he totally sucks face with Elvis' granddaughter (who is wearing nothing but a pair of panties and one of JT's shirts)! Scandalous!
Wonder how Riley snagged this role in the vid?

Does this mean they're working on their marriage?!
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom reunited last night at Kanye West's concert at the Staples Center in L.A., and although there are no known pics of the pair together, sources confirm the estranged couple caught the show with members of the Kardashian clan, including Kim, Rob, Kendall, and Kris Jenner.
Although you would think the Clippers star would be on the outs with his wife's family after his reported cheating and drug abuse, he seemed friendly with the family matriarch according to witnesses.
"[Lamar] got up at one point and hugged Kris, who embraced him with open arms and a big smile," a source told
People.
Don't count on a reunion for Khlomar just yet, though!
"The family is supporting his recovery so they wanted to invite him [to the show]. But he and Khloe aren't back together," the source added.
Thank Yeezus they are on better terms!

We wish Linds had jumped in the pic!
Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus reportedly partied together at 1 Oak nightclub in N.Y.C. recently, and that's great and all, but Lilo is supposedly sober and Miss Miley is underage!
"Lindsay Lohan was at a nearby table and came running over to Miley's table. The girls started giggling and whispering. They made several trips to the bathroom together and then left out a back exit, so they wouldn't be spotted by the paparazzi," a source dished to
Radar.
The former Disney stars were also partying with Magic Johnson's son E.J.
"Miley and E.J. were at 1 Oak... Miley was drinking alcohol in the club," the source added.
They don't seem like they'd be the best influences on each other!

The Jonas Brothers are dunzo! We'd say, "Say it ain't so, Jo Bros!" -- but honestly we aren't 14-year-old girls, so we aren't really that broken up about it.
The break-up news doesn't come as that much of a shock since the Jo Bros cancelled their 19-city tour in early October amid rumors of dissent among the band and of Joe's drug use. While they didn't officially announce that the group had disbanded at the time they cancelled the tour, the musical trio have just confirmed to
People magazine that they have "unanimously" agreed to call it quits.
"It's over for now," said the oldest Jonas, Kevin, 25.
Despite the reports of 24-year-old Joe's substance abuse and of feuding, the brothers insist they are on good terms and are moving on to work on solo projects.
The decision to part ways allegedly came after the youngest brother, Nick, 21, has major concerns about the upcoming tour,
People reports. "I was feeling kind of trapped," who fronts the band Nick and The Administration. "I needed to share my heart with my brothers."
As to whether or not the boys will ever be getting back together, "It's really hard to say 'forever,'" said Nick. But added added, "We're closing a chapter, for sure."
The Jersey-born boys formed their band in 2005 and gained teen dream notoriety with Disney Channel films like
Camp Rock and
Camp Rock 2.

This whole situation sounds terrifying!
Camille Grammer was just granted a restraining order against former boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos after revealing that he bruised and battered her in a Houston hotel room days after her cancer surgery.
The
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star claims the pair got into a heated argument, which led to her beau pulling her hair and repeatedly smashing her head against the headboard of the bed.
The blonde bombshell alleges she tried to call for help, but her enraged former lover smashed her iPhone, so the abuse lasted for about 40 minutes and she feared he would kill her.
The Greek lawyer also plugged her nose in an attempt to prevent her from breathing and said, "I wanna smash your head in. I'll give you a reason to call the cops."
Charalambopoulos has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Grammer and her two children.

Victoria Beckham better duck -- there's about to be a cell phone thrown at her head! The former Spice Girl turned designer has incited the ire of legendary phone-throwing Naomi Campbell when she only featuring one non-white model in her 30-person fashion show during London Fashion Week.
After noting the lack of minority represented on the catwalk recently, the unruly model has waged a campaign exposing discrimination in the fashion industry, including writing a letter naming designers whom she felt showed a lack of diversity. Victoria was one of the offenders on the list, and apparently Naomi even personally called Victoria to discuss the issue after the designer was included on a letter listing all the offending design houses.
The statuesque 43-year-old told the UK's
Mirror: "I called Victoria and I spoke to her. I don't want to pin-point anyone. It isn't a blame game. Everyone's name was on that letter because they'd done it.
'It could have been completely unintentional. She is one of the designers on there like everyone else."
The fashionable duo have a storied friendship. They were friends in the late '90s and then had a falling out when Naomi questioned Victoria's nickname "Posh." Mrs. Beckham responded to the jab by calling the supermodel a "massive cow" on her British TV show, Victoria's Secrets.
Despite the cat fight, the leggy ladies made up eight years later when Victoria got involved in Naomi's Fashion for Relief Flood campaign and since then the twosome have remained close.
In 2010, Naomi even complemented the mom of four, "I love Victoria Beckham's dresses. I've worn many of them before. I've also got her jeans. I love her work and she's a great friend and mother."
Victoria better make it right by having her next show chock full of lovely ladies of color, otherwise she is going to have a very skinny nemesis on her hands.
