Nathalie Dolivo, a write for French Elle Magazine has caused public outrage and a boycott of the magazine after they wrote that Africa-American’s didn’t have  a clue about style until the Obama family entered the White House.

In the article Dolivo writes:

“For the first time, the chic has become a plausible option for a community so far pegged [only] to its street wear codes.”‘

The article titled “Black Fashion Power” goes on to call Obama’s style “chic” while noting that it embraces “white codes”  while still making “a bourgeois ethnic reference (a batik-printed turban/robe, a shell necklace, a ‘créole de rappeur’) reminiscent [of] the roots.”

After the post went live on the website commenters quickly attacked the hack piece, one commenting party wrote:

 ”How, in 2012, in a France where there are at least three million blacks and mixed people, can you write such nonsense? You are too kind when you write that in 2012 we have incorporated the white codes … what do you think, in 2011, we dressed in hay and burlap bags?”

While the post was removed from the Elle website following public outcry the promise to boycott the magazine is still being heard loud and clear as other fashion writers have taken a stance against Dolivo’s comments including Alex Rees of The Cut who called the piece “misguided and prejudice.” Sarah Nicole Prickett of Canada’ Fashion Magazine took the jabbing one step further by calling the article a piece of “white supremacist” filth.

In a huge misstep for the magazine a real apology has not been issued, in fact Frence Elle’s editor-in-chief Valerie Toranian simply called the article “misinterpreted.”

In the meantime a new Facebook group has emerged that asks readers to boycott French Elle Magazine with the message:

“Say stop in order to not let the press, media etc…. publish such horror without apologizing” [Translated from French]

Are you shocked that the editors at French Elle would allow such comment made by a writer to be published to a mass audience, especially when a global audience is already focused on the country for Paris Fashion Week?

Matt Damon has not been President Barack Obama’s biggest fan lately.  The actor campaigned for the President in 2008 and had such high expectations that he would lead a liberal revolution.

Now Damon has taken to the pages of Elle Magazine, where in an interview he gave this week he told them that he doesn’t see the President as having a pair of balls.

“You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better,” Damon said

He went on to criticize Obama for the Occupy Wall Street Protests, claiming that due to his lack of leadership people, literally, were forced to just sit in the street and scream for change.

Last year Damon also too the President to task for what he had said was Obama “misinterpreting” his mandate by giving in to Republicans on the Bush Tax Cuts.

The President did have some funny come backs to Damon’s comments last time, ripping the Hollywood heavyweight at the White House Correspondent’s Ball.

“I’ve even let down my key core constituency: movie stars. Just the other day, Matt Damon – I love Matt Damon, love the guy – Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw “The Adjustment Bureau,” so right back atcha, buddy.”

Is Obama a leader or just a typical useless politician?

According to numerous media outlets, Aniston was so dead set on having a little one that she reportedly had even given up alcohol and smoking to better prepare her oven for a bun.

In an attempt to squash the gossip, the 42-year-old actress spoke out in the November issue of Elle, where she revealed that she is “at peace” with her current personal situation and wouldn’t be too upset if she never has children.

“It’s not what you read. There’s no desperation,” Jennifer explained. “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I’m at peace with whatever the plan is. But will you hate me if I say I don’t want to talk about my relationship?”

While Aniston chose to remain tight-lipped regarding her current relationship, she did open up to reveal a hot-tempered run-in she once had while on set.

“I threw a chair at a director,” she admitted in excerpts from the interview released by the magazine this week. “It wasn’t my proudest moment. He was treating a script supervisor horribly… When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him. I missed, of course. I was like, ‘You can’t speak to people like that.’ I can’t tolerate it.”

In addition to Jennifer Aniston, the November issue of Elle features mini interviews with a number of Hollywood’s other leading ladies including: Naomi Watts, Freida Pinto, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Evan Rachel Wood.

Miley Cyrus appears on the cover of the August Issue of Elle Magazine, looking really grown up for her age in a black top, black bra and showing plenty of cleavage.

Elle also interviewed Miley and asked her a few questions about her new line of signature clothing she’s promoting with Max Azria for Wal-Mart. She was also asked about what it’s like to be a child star and how it affects her life and friendships with other young stars:

“It’s hard for all of us. There are so many people that could be using you. So me and Nick and Demi, we don’t need anything from each other. We got our own thing going on.”

You can check out more photos of Miley Cyrus at the Elle Magazine site here.

Jessica Simpson, besides trying to lure as many country music fans as possible on the cover of Elle, may have actually undergone a transformation (I know). Nope, not just on the outside. . . she was convincingly humble as she talked about her relationships.

Jessica first admitted to trying to change herself for the men in her life, including being “artsier, more intellectual.” She got even more honest as she continued to talk about her past not-so-good times:

“I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run. I know that I sing it with experience.”

Then she had to go and ruin the moment by talking about Papa Joe. Nobody said she as perfect.
