Ariana Grande: I wear ‘more fake hair than every drag queen combined’

[Beeyotch]

That is totally, totally fucked for a person that young to get a brow lift.

This apparently just came out from Fishwrapper and is a quote from Giuliana Rancic:

“I think she does have a little bit of a diva thing going on, I don’t know if that’s just part of the image she wants out there, like ‘I’m a young Mariah, I’m a diva,’ because I remember, I think it was at the AMAs, she came up on the platform, and normally I stand on this side [her left side] to the camera — I had to fight 13 years to get this side to the camera, it’s my good side, but I fought 13 years for this, OK? Little Ariana comes over, I feel like BING, elbow in my side, I’m like ‘what’s going on?’ and they push me to the other side. So I had to be on my ugly side. But I felt like a little bit of a, you know it was like ‘you either get on the other side or we don’t do an interview,’ and I just felt like it’s one thing if it’s Mariah, you know, I’ll get on any side, I’ll bend down, I’ll climb a ladder, whatever it takes to get Mariah to do an interview. But when you’re new on the block, when you’re trying to earn your stripes, you’re young, you just gotta do what you gotta do, try to get a great reputation, try to go overboard to please people.”

Thread jack alert - then help me out. I am from the generation of over plucking. Any secrets to make the brows look fuller without looking like the were drawn on?

I overplucked too and am a "filla", they are drawn on but I don't think it looks too obvious. Use a pencil lighter than your hair colour and use short strokes. Also make sure the pencil isn't too soft or it looks cakery/waxy when you apply it. I use Cover Girl Brow and Eye Makers, good colour for me and consistency. Powder never works for me because I don't get enough definition with it.

i never leave home without my eyebrows on!

If you over pluck, does it never come back or something?

Giuliana Rancic has a good side, who knew?!

[greysfang]

Giuliana Rancic is a worthless, parasitic, stick bug.

Rogaine helps some people.

[MohandasKGanja]

Rogaine helps some people.

They could sell it in a tiny bottle with an applicator and call it Browgaine.

[greysfang]

Brow Effect works for eyebrows. Its kinda like Latisse for eyelashes. A friend of mine used it, she has a mild form of alopecia and had no brows or lashes. She went on a Latisse/Brow Effect combo and has some now. They're not thick or luscious or anything, but I think she's jsut happy to have something, enough to where she can fill in the blanks with powder and mascara without looking like an overly made up fool.

[witchcurlgirl]

And charge twice as much. You're a marketing genius!

Some friends of mine go the tattoo route. It's done with a semi-permanent dye, with a "hair stroke" line/application to make them look fuller/natural (not chola sharpie-esque). Lasts up to a year - year and a half.
They don't have to worry about make-up smearing and they also use hair growth supplements which helps disguise the new growth/patching.

Here are some random examples I just found googling "Semi-Permanent Eyebrow Tattoo"






Just to compare the different applications: Here's an example of the "sharpie/just-fill-them-in" tattoo technique...

[Froogy]

I'll raise that thread jack alert and say I've never plucked my eyebrows as they are blonde and you can't tell. I love dark arched eyebrows and wish I had them.

Dye, Dye, Dye.....

I cant help with the shape, but I have blonde hair every where but my head. I pay a ton of money to have blonde head hair.

No joke, this is what I do. I buy cheap permanent hair dye (colorsilk) Apply the Dye to a Qtip and coat my eyebrow. I leave it on for about 15 minutes and take it off with a cotton ball. Make sure after you coat your eyebrow that you clean it up with a clean Qtip so that your surrounding skin isnt dyed.

A Full History Of Ariana Grande’s Alleged Diva Behavior

Twenty-one-year-old singer Ariana Grande dominated the charts in August with her sophomore album, My Everything, which debuted at No. 1.


But a spate of recent bad press begs the question of whether the former Nickelodeon actress is handling her transition from child star to pop idol well.
Let’s look at some of the accusations:



Kevork Djansezian / Reuters

We’ll start last year, when the former Broadway star’s Nickelodeon show with Jennette McCurdy, Sam & Cat, was put on hold, allegedly due to behind-the-scenes drama.


This was despite the sitcom having the network’s biggest live-action launch in three years, with over 4 million people tuning in.

Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande, stars of the Nickelodeon series Sam & Cat.

Much of the drama behind the hiatus was related to salary negotiations — Grande was allegedly earning quite a lot more than her blonde counterpart.
But in June, McCurdy penned a lengthy vent on TwitLonger about a friend who was a bad influence in her life, called “Letting Go of Someone.” The letter was considered to be a thinly veiled rant about her co-star, with inflammatory sentences like this:

We aren’t better friends because being friends with you takes the “better” out of me. In fact, I might possibly be the worst version of myself when I’m around you.

and

Where did I go? As far away from you as I can get. You won’t be hearing from me anymore because sweetheart, being a friend to you was doing so much more for you than it was doing for me. You sucked the life right out of me, and I want my life back. …

Grande didn’t respond, but did shoot off a vague tweet:

Ariana Grande @ArianaGrande

one of those days where u need that venti knowwhummsayn ☕️

After Sam & Cat was canceled this July, Grande shared an emotional farewell letter. As Grantland pointed out, it was “very sweet on the surface, but [its] thank-yous conspicuously left out any mention of McCurdy.”


Grande eventually admitted to People that she had some creative differences with the show. “For a long time I was attached to a character that was nothing like myself. It was a little frustrating,” she said.
For her part, McCurdy has been somewhat petty since the show ended, making a web series with an obnoxious character named Glorianna and posting this shade-filled Instagram.

Sam & Cat was not the first show on which the Florida native has had some co-star drama.


On her Ask.FM account, she also blamed the cancellation of her first Nickelodeon show, Victorious, on co-star Victoria Justice wanting to do a solo tour.
“If we had done a cast tour Nickelodeon would have ordered another season of Victorious while Sam & Cat filmed simultaneously but she chose otherwise,” she wrote in 2013. “I’m tired of this bs.”

To which Justice responded with this tweet:




Grande responded with this since-deleted tweet, and later apologized.




Fast-forward to last month, when a dad’s blog post accusing the 21-year-old starlet of being an icy diva around a few teens who won a contest to meet her went viral.

In the letter, Dan O’Connor described how MTV, VH1, and Pepsi arranged for his daughters, Jen and Kelly, to meet Grande in the days ahead of MTV’s Video Music Awards after Jen won a contest by creating artwork inspired by the singer.
Much of the bad experience O’Connor blogged about could be considered the fault of MTV and Pepsi (the girls were shuffled around for hours and not fed). But when it came time to meet with Grande, he wrote that she spent about 15 seconds with the contest-winning fans:

She never bothered to even ask anyone their name. She didn’t inquire as to who the contest winners were, as opposed to their guests, or what they created to win the right to meet her.

According to O’Connor, Jen took one selfie with Grande, and her sister Kelly also took a photo of Jen giving Ariana her contest-winning drawing of her and Iggy Azalea, which the organizers had said wouldn’t be allowed. Grande allegedly demanded the sisters delete their photos.

“Delete those pictures, please” was all Ariana said.
“Can I just keep the one of my sister showing you the drawing?” asked Kel.
Ariana turned to her security and ordered, “Make sure she deleted those.”

The MTV reps’ alleged response after she walked out? “Sometimes celebrities are like that.”

When one of Grande’s fans DMed her on Twitter to address the blog post, Grande claimed that the contest winner presented her with a picture of her and her grandfather, and that it made her upset.


Twitter: @GrandeDuet









But in a second blog post, O’Connor said the painting of Grande and her grandfather wasn’t presented to Grande until after she demanded other pictures be deleted. “Her excuse holds no water,” he told BuzzFeed News.


He said she demanded the pictures be deleted after she was presented with the drawing of her and Azalea, but before the artwork of her with her grandfather.
After the original blog post got hundreds of thousands of views, Joseph Carozza, vice president of media relations at Grande’s label, Republic Records, contacted O’Connor to ask him to amend the post saying that they now understand she acted that way because she was “in mourning.”
O’Connor wrote:

When I asked him why I should do that considering that everything noted in the blog occurred BEFORE she saw the drawing, he responded that this post had become a legitimate news story and that it was Ariana’s album release week, and the story was making her uncomfortable.

O’Connor told BuzzFeed News that Grande has still not reached out to the family. He added that Carozza refused his request to have the star contact his daughters in a brief phone call or a tweet, saying she is “too busy,” but he was followed on Twitter by Grande’s manager, Scooter Braun.
Carozza has not responded to a request for comment.

Grande, for her part, sends messages to other fans constantly.

Meanwhile, other reports have been circling that Grande can be controlling on set.

“She demanded to be shot only on her left side and told the lighting crew that if they used red light, she would ‘kill herself,’” one source said in late August.

This week, another report claimed that Grande issued a photographer a long list of demands.



Getty Images for Clear Channel Kevin Winter
Australian photographer Chris Pavlich said Grande refused to be photographed from her right side or with natural light, eventually abandoning their session mid-shoot.
According to the report, the singer was “checking each frame after it was taken and asking for shots she wasn’t pleased with to be deleted. After a few minutes she left the hotel suite, complaining to her reps that she was unhappy with how her top looked in the poses.”
Reportedly, Grande’s rep eventually demanded that Pavlich delete all of his photos.
After he refused, he claims he “was later approached by a member of the singer’s security team who attempted to prevent him from closing the tailgate on his car as he stowed his equipment.”
Pavlich declined to comment to BuzzFeed News.

In an interview with an Australian radio station following the report, Grande defended herself:


“It was just a photographer or something who got mad at me because I left to change my outfit mid-photo shoot because I didn’t like my top,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll be right back!’ and then I came back and he had left. I was like, ‘Oh, shit!’”
She added, “Then he came out and said all these ridiculous, untrue things about me. I was like, ‘That’s not real. That’s nonsense!’”

Grande isn’t alone among celebrities who issue a long list of demands or who have been accused of being brusque.



Danny Moloshok / Reuters
Mariah Carey, who Grande is constantly compared to (and, according to Pavlich’s report, is on Grande’s list of off-limit topics) is notorious for her demands. Grande’s peers Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Frank Ocean, and Iggy Azalea have also been accused of being unkind.

update
Commenters pointed out this tweet from The Cab’s lead singer, Alexander DeLeon, which has been up since 2011. Sept. 10, 2014, at 6:48 p.m.

Alexander DeLeon @alexanderdeleon

hope none of my fans ever have the displeasure of meeting @ArianaGrande. most stuck up, disrespectful person I've ever met in this industry.
