Kate Hudson Debuts on the Home Shopping Network

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

kate_hudson_hair_products.bmpKate Hudson’s hair product collaboration with her hairstylist David Babaii will make its debut on the Home Shopping Network today, July 3, and will continue to be a featured product throughout the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The new line is called David Babaii for WildAid, and includes several eco-conscious hair care products and a mission devoted to wildlife preservation.
During the promotional shows on HSN David Babaii will demonstrate how he achieves red carpet hairstyles. Also, Kate Hudson will be calling in to talk about her work with the product and to answer viewers’ questions. All sessions will also be available to view online, at HSN’s Web site.

The line was created to combine two of David and Kate’s top passions in life - “the nature in beauty and the beauty in
nature.” A percentage of the revenue from David Babaii for WildAid will benefit WildAid, a global wildlife conservation organization.

Weird Connections: Ashley Judd Designs Plus-size Clothing Line for Goody’s

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Pop quiz: Name the two things that would make a weirder match than Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

If you said Ashley Judd and plus-size clothes you win!

Ashley Judd, who already has her own collection on sale at Goody’s Family Clothing (primarily in the southeastern states), is now ashley_judd.jpgintroducing her Goody’s customers to something bigger and better.

Ashley Judd Plus is a line similar to her current organic wear, but for the plus-size woman … like her sister Wynonna Judd who has talked about how growing up she battled depression and weight issues related to the fact that Ashley was the “pretty, skinny one”?

As always, a portion of the sales from Ashley Judd’s collections - available exclusively at Goody’s - will benefit Goody’s Good Deeds for Good Schools program.

Another Spears Baby Joins the World

Friday, June 20th, 2008

jamie-lynn-spears.jpgJamie Lynn Spears gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday, June 19.

The family has not officially announced the birth or name, yet, but a nurse at the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center betrayed them and secretly called CNN, who immediately reported it.

Expect pictures and more in OK! magazine - Spears officially announced her pregnancy through this magazine, and is expected to sell the rights to her baby’s first photos to them as well.

Giorgio Armani Loves David Beckham

Friday, June 20th, 2008

With the hubbub over the first ad campaign featuring an endowed-looking David Beckham in tighty-whities starting to die down, Armani goes in for round two.

The fashion master took the soccer master to Malibu Beach, California, and got him, once again, down to his skivvies. But now that Armani knows how the public reacts to a sexy, near-naked Becks, he didn’t just place this one in magazines and on billboards (though you will be able to find it there soon, as well) – it’s on the side of a Macy*s building in San Francisco.

Check out the photo here, from the unveiling of the mural on Wednesday, June 18. Now, prepare yourself to hear gossip shows and more talk about it non-stop for the next month or so.

Singers Katy Perry and Ashanti: `TRL’ Fashion Disasters

Friday, June 13th, 2008

I’m not sure what either of these young singers - Katy Perry and Ashanti - were thinking when they got dressed for MTV’s TRL show on June 9.

Perhaps celebrities see TRL as an opportunity to wear whatever they feel like? Perhaps they decided that feeling cute is more important than wearing something that flatters your figure? Or perhaps an appearance on MTV is not worth spending the money to pay your stylist?

I’m all for 1950s and 1960s fashion … but updated, and fit to flatter.

Kate Hudson + Stella McCartney = Happy Me

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I love Kate Hudson. I love Stella McCartney. So when Kate caught my eye as the “Look of the Day” on In Style, wearing Stella’s designs to her runway show, I had a moment of pure elation.

Kate wearing Stella. It doesn’t get much better (unless, of course, it was Kate and me hanging out together, both wearing Stella, while attending the runway show).

Jessica Alba’s Baby’s Name Announced

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren gave birth on Saturday to healthy baby girl. No specifics were initially told the public, though the little one’s name has now been announced: Honor Marie Warren.

Honor. With a name like that, she can totally be BFFs with True Whitaker. The sentiment is nice, but … Honor? What’s the nickname for that?

jessica-alba-and-cash-warren.jpg

When I have a baby I promise to give her or him a classic, real name … like Jane or Oliver. I recommend following this lead, not the Zowie, Zephyr, Kal-El, Ocean, Rumer … Just don’t steal my names, okay?

The photo here is of the couple - including a very pregnant Jessica - from May, at the 2008 Celebration of Mentoring.

Celebrity Carnival: Mischa Barton in Costume

Monday, June 9th, 2008

mischa-barton.jpg Although Mischa Barton looks sweet in her fairy get-up at A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival, benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, it seems that she was the only one that got the wear-a-costume memo. Either someone was playing a trick on her, or, I suppose, she was just really in the mood to wear face paint and wings.

I’ll admit to having donned fairy wings in the summer before, but I was 18, with lots of friends, and not surrounded by paparazzi.

She sure had confidence, though, I’ll give her that!

I Saw It In … `27 Dresses’

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

temperley-london-dress.jpgI may have found my favorite new fashion-based Web site: I Saw It In. The site is a collection of who wore what in which movie.

Here’s how I just used the site:

The second I saw Katherine Heigl’s 27 Dresses, I thought, “I have to have that dress that she wears to the club!” But I had no idea what brand or designer made it. Today, I browsed over to I Saw It In, clicked on 27 Dresses, and skimmed through the dozen or so screen shots to find the dress that had me drooling.

Voila!

It’s a Temperley London dress and is currently on sale for half of the original price, making it … darn … it’s still a $630 dress. But at least now I can scope out their other designs, linger in the clearance section, and gather inspiration to make my own.

(In the movie, it was a jade color. This shade shown here is the only color left.)

Lauren Bush’s Feed Bag Hits the Red Carpet

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Okay. I love your Feed Bags, Lauren Bush, but don’t you think that there is a time and a place for self-promotion, even if it is for a good cause?

lauren_bush_feed_bag.jpg

I’m just not sure that 1. the bag goes with red carpet wear, or 2. a pink, Swarovski-studded carpet for a movie premiere (Sex and the City) is the perfect location for bringing up the topic of starving children.

Adam Sandler and Paul Mitchell Offer You a Free Hairdo

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Would you like a free haircut and style this weekend? All you have to do is be lucky enough to live in one of the ten cities nationwide that will be visited by a Paul Mitchell Mobile Salon.

Oddly enough, this random promotion is for an upcoming movie release - go figure. Adam Sandler wrote, produced, and starred in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan that will be in theaters June 6.

The connection between an Adam Sandler movie and free haircuts? The movie is about an Israeli commando that fakes his own death in order to pursue his dream of doing hair. Apparently, he also makes extra dollars by performing “special services” for his clients, in a back room.

Curious how this plot comes together, but also super jealous of people that live inadam_sandler_don__t_mess_with_zohan.jpg one of these ten locales and can take advantage of a free Paul Mitchell ‘do:

* Belmar, NJ at D’Jais on Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

* Boston at EarthFest on Saturday, 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.

* Miami at South Beach, 12th and Collins, on Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m. - 7 p.m.

* San Francisco in Golden Gate Park on Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m.

* Las Vegas at the Freemont St. Experience on Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. - 10 p.m.

* St. Louis at the Rib America Festival on Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.

* Los Angeles at the Venice Beach boardwalk on Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

* Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Motorway on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, time TBA

* Seattle at the NW Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center on Saturday, 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.

* Chicago at North St. Beach on Monday, time TBA

In Brief: Lindsay Lohan and the Fur Incident

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Oh, Lindsay …

Here’s a rundown on what people are talking about these days when it comes to Disney-bred Lindsay Lohan:

1. End of January, beginning of February Lindsay is photographed wearing an elaborate fur coat.

2. Come March, Lindsay is seen wearing one of the Humane Society’s anti-fur buttons (while carrying a leather coat).

Controversy #1: Does she support or is she against fur as fashion?

LINDSAY_LOHAN.jpg

Concurrently, away from the media’s eye this is happening:

1. On January 26, Lindsay sits next to Masha Markova, a rich college student, and her $11,000 mink coat at club 1 Oak.

2. Surprised that leaving an $11,000 coat laying around a bar was not safe, Markova wonders where it went.

3. Masha sees Lindsay wearing said coat in an issue of OK! magazine.

4. Masha’s people call Lindsay’s people and ask “WTF?” Lindsay’s people mail the coat back on February 14, sans apology, and in less than perfect condition.

5. Masha sues Lindsay.

Controversy #2: Are you or are you not a klepto who doesn’t realize that someone will recognize their stuff when the paparazzi take a photo of you?

But wait, there’s more. Post all this drama, the club owner speaks up.

1. 1 Oak club owner, basking in the free press attention that his venue is receiving, offers to take Lindsay on an shopping spree and buy her an $11,000 mink coat of her own because he feels bad for her.

It’s in the Manhattan state Supreme Court’s hands now. But returning the coat seems like an admission of guilt to me. The lawsuit is for unspecified property damages.

Fergie Rocks NBC’s `Today’ Show

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Poke fun at Black Eyed Peas alum Stacy Ann “Fergie” Ferguson’s rapidly aging face all you want, but when it comes down to the end: girl can move. This a 33-year-old woman doing cartwheels and otherwise jumping around NBC’s “Today” show stage … while singing!

bep-fergie.jpg
stacy-ann-ferguson.jpg

Plus, she looks gorgeous even after a wild performance!

fergie_on_today.jpg

FYI: This is how to bring back the ’80s color block look. Use bold, bright colors that are similar, and non-neon.

Mila Kunis: From Cute to Sexy

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

I’m not sure where people are getting confused, but let me spell it out for them:

1. Mila Kunis was hot on That ’70s Show but still maintained more of a cute look, being that she was only a teenager.

2. Cute-hot teenagers tend to grow up to be sexy-hot 20-somethings.

3. Mila Kunis is now, at the age of 24, sexy-hot.

mila_kunis.jpg

Why is this hard to comprehend? Why are people speculating about her having had surgery? She grew up. And now she’s even hotter than before (although not according to Maxim magazine who dropped her from #47 on its 2006 Hot 100 list to #81 this year).

Get over it. She’s hot, happy, mature, funny, and successful. Stop trying to build a scandal.

Nina Garcia to Continue Relationship with ELLE

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

NINA_GARCIA.jpgSpeculators (a.k.a. gossips) can lay their guesses, rumors, and lies to rest today over Nina Garcia and her relationship with ELLE magazine.

It has just been announced that Madame Fashion Garcia has been named ELLE’s editor-at-large, and that she will continue representing the magazine at least through this season of Project Runway (which starts in July).

Nina has a contract for being the large editor at least through September 1, 2008.

Previously, she was the magazine’s fashion director for eight years.
