Perhaps looking to pass the time while washing a load of delicates (or to show her solidarity with the 99%), Miley Cyrus, makeup artist/pal Denika Bedrossian and big sis Brandi decided to have a spontaneous laundry-themed photo shoot. The pop starlet sported a Beatles tee, button-fly acid-washed jeans (that appear to be from the ’90s — how vintage!) and some bling. Brandi shared via Twitter, “It may look like a photoshopt, but we were legit doing laundry.” Ok! We wouldn’t let anyone photograph us in our laundry day attire (a.k.a. “sweatpants”), so kudos to this trio for managing to look fierce while they fold. Tell us what you think of Miley’s laundromat-inspired photo shoot in the comments!
Kelly Rowland has teamed up once again with “Rose Colored Glasses” video director Rankin, only this time it’s for the famed photographer’s biannual magazine, Hunger.

Check out the recent X Factor performer’s pics and tell us how you think they compare to Kelly’s recent Marie Claire pictorial. More »
Though our specialty is reviewing music, we’re often distracted from an artist’s tunes by their amazingly awful album cover. In 2011, there were 10 (mostly) high-profile releases with cover art so ridiculous, so badly designed, and just so straight-up weird that we had to share them with all of you. Last year, MGMT nabbed the highest honor here for their hallucinatory surf’s-up-kitty album cover art for Congratulations — but even that hot mess looked like it should be hanging in a museum compared to this year’s entries. Check out our 10 picks for worst cover art for albums and mixtapes released in 2011 (with one exception), and check back tomorrow for a palate cleanser of the year’s 10 best. More »
