GLAM SCOOP: Beyonce Wins Journalism Award, Anna Dello Russo for H&M and Michael Jackson and Nicki Minaj for Pepsi

Happy Thursday, Glamazons! Hope you’re enjoying your day! I’m excited to celebrate pre-Friday by toasting one of my favorite bloggers, Micah Jesse, on his 5-year anniversary. Pretty glamazing, right? Check out my interview with him here.

Before I dance the night away, let’s get to today’s Fashion & Beauty news!

People Magazine‘s World’s Most Beautiful woman Beyonce can now add award-winning journalist to her resume! The new Mom is being heralded for the cover story she wrote for ESSENCE Magazine‘s July 2011 issue entitled “Eat Pray Love.” The article chronicled the 16 Grammy-award winner’s time away from the spotlight, where she did things like discover her love of artichokes and go undercover as a Harajuku girl.

She will be awarded by The New York Association of Black Journalists for her writing at a May 15 gala. One of MY favorite editors, ESSENCE Magazine‘s Cori Murray said: “She’s a real writer. We had to edit her, but everyone gets edited except Toni Morrison.” Congrats Writer Bey! – iluluonline

Announcing…Anna Del Russo for H&M! Our favorite style icon is producing a fab line of accessories including jewelry, sunglasses, shoes and bags! Glamazons, you know this collection will be to-die-for and thankfully, reasonably priced.

Woohoo! I will be first in line to pick it up starting October 4th when it officially launches. Check out video below:

Of her first capsule collection, Anna said: “I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M have involved a Fashion Director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorization is essential: it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day.” Seriously, no one knows that better than her. Loves! – Beauty Is Diverse

The first official image of Nicki Minaj‘s collaboration with Pepsi has been released. Very Nicki! Love it.

The company also tapped the late Michael Jackson for their new campaign. Yes, you read that right. PepsiCo is going on a reunion tour with the King of Pop (with the approval of his estate) and will use his likeness in a TV ad, special edition cans (with his image, below) and chances to download remixes of his most famous songs.

I’m not sure how I feel about that yet… – Huffington Post

Adrien Brody shows off his yummy handsome face for Lacoste Spring 2012 menswear ad campaign. Check out the video below:

Whatever he’s selling, I’m buying. – OhLaLa Mag

The inimitable Iris Apfel (aka Glamazon Andrea‘s best friend) is designing versions of her iconic huge glasses for eyebobs. Of course, I’ll need ten pairs and a load of jewelry just to look like the MAC collaborator. – Racked

Vogue is pledging to no longer work with unhealthy-looking or under-16 models. About. Time. – Fashionista

If KW earrings aren’t enough, you can now snag Kanye West‘s “Yeezi” nameplate necklace, a collaboration from Jacob & Co. spotted at his Spring 2012 runway show (and on Anna Dello Russo) at Collette in Paris.

Because everyone wants to walk around wearing Kanye’s initials and nickname on their body…right? (Sideeye). – High Snobiety

Until tomorrow!

Kisses,

Glamazon Jessica
