While watching the fiasco that was Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s two-hour wedding special on E!, I couldn’t help but wonder how a man who was dating and reportedly proposed to actress Taraji P. Henson earlier this year, rebounded so quickly and married Khloe, whom he had only known for a few weeks?
Call me cynical, but I don’t believe in popping the question at first sight.  And no offense Khloe, but Taraji is a real Hot Mama!  Well, she is most of the time. In these photos, the Academy Award nominee flaunts her enviable curves and shows off her new …read more

The MTV Movie Awards wasn’t that eventful…except for “Twilight” winning a bunch of awards and Sacha Baron Cohen giving Eminem, um, an eyeful during an awkward stunt.  The red carpet fashion and hairstyles, however, were anything but boring.  
Here are a few celeb looks that caught Hot Mama Daily’s attention:
 
Taraji’s flirty frock reminds me of a naughty chambermaid… 
…and her pixie haircut is sassy and sexy.
I love the girly cut of Monique’s dress; it nicely accentuates the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant’s lovely legs.
And I’m all for sisters wearing natural hairstyles, but is Monique’s Afro Hot or Not?

Kick your spring style up a notch with some arm candy.  Chunky cuff bracelets are one of the hottest accessory trends of the season, and the perfect way to jazz up a casual or dressy outfit.

Celebs like Taraji P. Henson can afford bold, beautiful and most likely expensive cuff bracelets (see above photos), but we can get the look for less at retailers like Banana Republic and Forever 21.

Penelope Cruz, pictured with Best Actress favorite Kate Winslet, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her funny and passionate portrayal in Woody Allen’s “Vicky Christina Barcelona.”  And she did it in style.  Cruz’s dress is a 60-year-old vintage couture gown.

Nominated for her touching portrayal of a conflicted and a protective mother in “Doubt,” Viola Davis wore an Oscar-ready gold gown.

“Slumdog Millionaire” co-star Freida Pinto looked like an Indian princess in her one-sleeved, beaded blue gown by John Galliano.

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” nominee Taraji P. Henson looked like Cinderella in her cream Roberto Cavalli gown and …read more

Taraji P. Henson looked like a real movie star at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.  If you’ve been following Hot Mama Daily recently, you know I wasn’t a fan of the metallic, frayed mini dress she wore to the Golden Globe Awards (click here to read my post about the outfit).
So this form-fitting, Marilyn Monroe reminiscent white halter gown is a big improvement.  She’s becoming quite the red carpet head-turner, and I can’t wait to see what Taraji — who received a Best Supporting Actress nod for her role in the poignant “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” – wears to The Academy …read more

It’s award season and the stars are hitting the red carpet dressed to impress.  Inevitably, there will be a few misses to accompany the fashion hits.  I loved up-and-coming actress Taraji P. Henson’s portrayal of Brad Pitt’s adoptive mother, “Queenie,” in the excellent “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”  For that moving portrayal, Henson recently received a Best Supporting Actress nod at the Critics’ Choice Awards.

I’m certain that Henson, who also stars in the film “Not Easily Broken” (see the above clip) with perennial hottie Morris Chestnut deserved the nomination, but I’m not sure about her dress selection for the …read more
