EVENT FAB: Michelle Williams & June Ambrose Get Glam For Broadway

Former Destiny's Child groupmate turned theater maven Michelle Williams is stylist June Ambrose's newest project.  For June's upcoming "Styled By June" show, the fashion guru gave Michelle a fab new look for her big event last night.  Get a sneak peek inside...

The ladies hit up the Drama League's 28th Benefit Gala event last night in NYC. It was all in honor of Tony and Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth at the historical Pierre Hotel.  And the decor was done by famed YBF interior designer Preston Bailey.

Michelle rocked a pretty look of long wavy hair and a soft grey strapless cocktail dress with a heavily embellished rosette detail bottom:

Nice.

And June rocked a floor length black sparkling deep V neck gown for the occasion with a swept up do.  Fab.

FRESH MEAT: Meet Model Haitian Sensation WILNOR TEREAU

Feast your eyes on Haitian model Wilnor Tereau.  As always, we love featuring fresh new faces on the industry scene.  And here's one.  The 27-year-old is new to modeling world and definitely leaves an impression.  Meet Mr. Tereau inside......

Growing up in poverty in Haiti, Wilnor Tereau has an interesting story.  For years, he survived living in a homemade two bedroom shack of mud with sugarcane leaves used as a protective roof top.  And with no access to electricity, clean water, or food to eat.

After living with his grandmother in Croix-Des-Bouquets (which was affected by a massive cholera outbreak) he eventually moved to a poor city in Port-au-Prince called Cite Soleil. 

But things began to look up for Wilnor after he moved to Chatham, Massachusetts to live with his father and step mother.  He recalls bullied for being Black in a lily white environment.  But he eventually became a superstar athlete on the school’s soccer team. After graduating, he enrolled in college, with aspirations of becoming a physical therapist.

And now, this damn near perfect specimen of a man is on the model tip.

Currently, Wilnor is exclusively signed to BIENAIME AGENCY where he is pursuing his career as a fashion model. 

What does the muscle ridden model have to say about his story?

“Modeling really means a lot to me. It keeps me occupied and helps boost my self esteem and confidence. It has opened doors for me that I never thought were possible. It plays a big factor in my health because it motivates me to work out and stay fit. I am so blessed at this moment of my life right now. I thank God everyday for giving me this wonderful opportunity. My goal is to bring hope to all the people in Haiti!”

And we love it.

Wilnor can be found on Twitter and Facebook.

VIXEN IN RED: Meagan Good Talks Becoming Whitney Houston, Going Crazy In Love & How To Be A Sexy Christian

She's single, 30, a veteran in the game, and screams sex without even trying.  The uber beautiful Meagan Good is covering the brand new digital issue of VIBE VIXEN.  And she's revealing all about her dream role playing Whitney Houston (yeah, she said it), having a few deep loves but never losing herself in the relationship, and how she keeps her good Christian girl values while constantly playing the sexpot.

 

Meagan's cover and interview highlights inside....

She's had a few boyfriends (most recently NFLer Thomas Jones whom she's no longer with), is very vocal about her love for God, and made a bold announcement that she wants to do Whitney Houston's life story.  And we can't believe it's been 16 years already since the "Californication" co-star burst on the scene in her Eve's Bayou days.  Peep Meagan Good's interview highlights:

On Her Dream Role Playing Whitney Houston:
"I want to do Whitney Houston's life story. I think that would be an incredible story to do. I talked to Whitney a little bit about it, and she's open to it, so I want to see what happens with that. Hopefully, in the very, very near future. She has Sparkle coming out, and I've heard good things about it already. I heard she looks beautiful, she sounds beautiful, she looks healthy and she's the Whitney that we know and love. And so I think that would be a great place for her story to end and really just be beginning, if they were to do her life story right now."

On Flexing Her Singing Skills

I always said that I didn’t want to sing because I wanted to be considered a very serious actress, not an entertainer, but singing is a passion of mine, rapping is a passion of mine, and in the way that we decided to do it, it’s very fun. We’re not taking ourselves too seriously, and our vibe is kind of like Beastie Boys mixed with Gwen Stefani. We kind of just do what we want to do; that’s what I love about it. The music is fun, and I think that the audience that we’re trying to reach will definitely be receptive to it. It’s not negative; it’s not saying ‘Boy, you want me’ and all this other crazy stuff. It’s about girls having fun and respecting themselves and being fly, doing their thing.

On her crazy moments in love:
"I mean, when you find yourself walking out on the side of freeway in a different state at three o'clock in the morning because someone has pissed you off, and you are completely convinced that you're walking to the airport that is over an hour away, you've pretty much lost your marbles there. [Laughs] Yeah, I'm not crazy like I'll bust the windows out your car. I don't like to be vindictive, but I am the type of person that'll be like, 'You know what? Nigga forget you, and I'll be on my own!' [Laughs] I'm one of those people who will mentally check out when I get so mad."

On Playing Uber Sexualized Roles While Maintaining Her Good Christian Beliefs

I think that [sexual activites] natural things. I think that, for me, it’s about portraying a character creatively and artistically as an actress. I believe that God has gifted me as an actress and intends for me to use that gift, but He also intends for me to use it to glorify him. So, if I’m playing the most perfect, religious girl then nobody gets anything out of it. It’s like being a Christian and only hanging out in church. When I play a character, I try not to judge her because ultimately it’s about where she ends up and what she learns from the journey, no matter what happens along the journey. Does she become a better person?

On Keeping Her Skin & Looks Close To Perfection

You know, my mom and my dad look fairly young now too. My mom always taught me as a young girl to stay with over-the-counter products, so I’ve been using Clearasil since I was a teenager. The only thing I use that’s not over-the-counter is eye creams. There’s this one, Peter Thomas Roth, and it is incredible. It takes the bags away, it takes dark circles away, it makes it so smooth under my eyes. It trips me out how good this eye cream is. Then, I’m trying to make healthier choices when I eat, I’m trying to work out a little bit and I’m trying to drink more water. You know, the usual things. Mainly, I try to stick to a facial regimen that I do morning and night. At this point, it’s about being preventive. Everything I do from here on out is about keeping it the way that it is.
