"RUMBLE" singer Kelis models eyewear for "Grey Ant" while Wiz Khalifa stars in new ads for ELEVEN PARIS. See pics inside....
In a photoshoot that merges 60s flair with modern eyewear, Kelis throws a little "shade" on the summer for a new "Grey Ant" ad campaign. And she does it fabulously.
During an interview with Elle.com, she revealed that her best friend asked her to pose for the Mad Men-esque shoot and she's a fan of blonde wigs!
How did you get involved in this campaign?
One of my best friends works for Grey Ant, so when she called me, it was basically a no-brainer. You don’t say no to your dearest friend. But I’m so glad I got involved, because when I got to the photo shoot, I saw what they had planned: these incredible wigs, this totally ‘60s makeup. It was really cool.
Is your personal style less retro?
Oh, it’s way more subdued, especially with the makeup. I don’t really use a lot on my face. Sometimes my skin gets a little dry, but unless I’m performing, I keep it really natural. So to get all 'Mad Men' for the ads was fun… and I kept the wigs. They’re coming on tour!
Would you ever go blonde for real?
Uh-uh. Why do all that when you can use a wig? Some people get a little nervous about them, I guess, but why? Go for the wig. Don’t be afraid. [Laughing]
With her "Saucy & Sweet" show airing on the FOOD Network, Kelis also touted her line of sauces. "I went to culinary school [at Le Cordon Bleu] and my sauces are called Feast. Do you like ribs? You should try the jerk sauce and make jerk ribs. They’re my specialty."
Yum!

"Roll Up" rapper Wiz Khalifa puffs out a haze of smoke in a new ad campaign for French design company ELEVEN PARIS.
The new ads were shot by Terry Richardson and also feature top model Kate Moss.
Oriel Bensimhon, one of the two founders of Eleven Paris, told the Daily Mail that Wiz and Kate were chosen to represent the brand because 'We recognize ourselves in their indolence, hedonism and naturally grunge attitude, and I think that they, too, recognized themselves in our collection." He added that they're both"as fascinating as they are scandalous.'
Wiz follows in the footsteps of rocker Lenny Kravitz, who's also starred in an ELEVEN PARIS campaign.
