The past week in the world of fashion, celebs and all things publication worthy has been somewhat unusual. There aren’t any really juicy new scandals, no adoptions, no deaths – not that I hope for deaths – but things are kind of slow.
But, before I rant and bitch about how boring our celebs have been over the past seven days, a little old news.
Versace Couture
Everyone knows I adore Versace. I worship Donatella Versace and pray each night that I’ll wake up to discover that my life is nothing but a sad dream and that I’m actually Donatella’s second son. Needless to say, I’m still praying.
When Donatella presented the Spring/Summer 2010 Atelier Versace collection during haute couture week (the end of January), Hamish Bowles (European Editor-at-Large for Vogue) spoke about metallic gowns adorned with “chunks of Swarovski crystal, swags of fine silvery chains and hologram discs to give a Paco Rabanne-esque edge.” The collection, modelled by Polish model Kasia Struss, is a masterpiece. The phenomenal dresses are viewable by appointment only but you can see pictures of the heavenly dresses at Fashionologie.com.
Katie’s Cup Cakes
Katie Holmes (the better half of Tom-Kat) is currently working on her newest flick, The Kennedys, a History Channel production where Katie plays Jacqueline Kennedy. The thirty-one year old actress is apparently a fan of Isabelle’s Curly Cakes, as she had the Red Velvet and Grasshopper flavoured cakes delivered to her at the Toronto set.
See, I wasn’t joking. Slow. Who cares if Katie Holmes likes cup cakes?! Seriously. Why do the American media report such boring crap?! My guess: Tom lets Katie eat something that isn’t designed, manufactured and endorsed by the International Association of Scientologists.
Too Cool For Schouler
Proenza Schouler’s label creators and design team, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, opened their Autumn/Winter 2010 show with eccentric, graffiti covered jeans, which are the product of a design collaboration with high end denim label J Brand. The jeans come in black or blue, are high waisted and of the skinny variety, appealing to Proenza Schouler’s already young demographic, and cost $550 from New York high end department store Bergdorf Goodman (which is constantly references in the CW’s hit show, Gossip Girl).
Fun fact about Proenza Schouler: the name for the label, launched in 2002, came from the maiden names of the creators, Hernandez and McCollough. It’s always nice to see people who care so much about their mothers, especially when in almost every American TV show, the characters loathe their mothers and dread their visits.
LiLo: Dancing Her Way Back To Stardom?
Carrie Ann Inaba, judge on the American version of reality show Dancing With The Stars, would like to see Lindsay Lohan dance her way back into Hollywood’s good graces.
Carrie Ann was at the Dizzy Feet Foundation’s celebration of National Dance Day in L.A. on August 1st when she told People magazine, “Lindsay is my number one pick [for next season]… I want her so bad.”
The reality show judge proceeded to fall to her knees and clasp her hands in prayer and pleaded, “Please, Lindsay Lohan, come on our show!”
I’m thinking someone is a little desperate, or a serious attention seeker.
Carrie Ann continued to explain, “I think it would be great for her. She’s so adorable. I think she needs a second chance and it would be a wonderful way to show the world she can pull it together.”
Uh. Americans and their second chances. I do feel quite sorry for Lindsay, being in prison and all, but honestly, is she ever going to cop on to herself? She’s so young and it’s such a shame that she’s such a car crash.
Apparently, judge Inaba hadn’t heard the rumour about Mel Gibson’s estranged ‘baby mama’, Oksana Grigorieve, trying to get on Dancing With The Stars.
People magazine concluded their piece by saying, “Perhaps it’s time for a DWTS spinoff. Let’s just call it Dancing With the Trainwrecks.”
I couldn’t agree more.
Spotted – In True Gossip Girl Fashion
This made me sick. This is the type of stuff that you hear about people eating up but don’t actually believe that anyone really cares about.
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was spotted enjoying dinner last night with her long term boyfriend, fellow Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley, at the Market Table restaurant in Greenwich Village in NYC.
Aren’t they supposed to be a ‘happy couple’? Like, why would you go out to a restaurant notorious for paparazzi with your lover when the two of you look like a pair of sour grapes? That’s just asking for gossip. You’d think Blake and Penn would have had enough drama while filming the fourth season of the hit CW show. By the looks of things, I’m thinking these young starlets are either on the verge of breaking up or their relationship is all for publicity. They never look happy when they’re spotted together. If I liked Blake or Penn, I’d care. Turns out, I despise Serena and actually get angry when Dan takes up valuable Blair time on the show.
