The New Face of…

Singing, dancing, and starring on the big screen is simply not enough if you want to remain hot in Hollywood these days. Apparently, when you are not hitting your mark on a movie set you need to be strutting your stuff as the new face of some hip, hot fashion brand. Just ask the following Hollywood fashionistas: GWYNETH PALTROW You can catch her steaming up the screen in this summer’s “Iron Man” and when she is not turning up the heat on the red carpet Gwyneth Paltrow is hard at work at her new job—acting as the face of luxury … Continue reading →

Fashion Files: Celebrity Designers Strike Again

In a previous blog I ranted about the growing number of celebrities who are cashing in by having their names and faces connected to random beauty products and fashion items. For example, Patrick Dempsey has his own scent with Avon, while Spider-Man star James Franco recently paired with Gucci as the face of their new men’s fragrance. Now, it appears country music star Tim McGraw is jumping on the smell-good bandwagon too by teaming up with Coty to launch his first-ever fragrance this summer. According to company spokespeople, McGraw by Tim McGraw will be a “down-to-earth, woodsy scent with touches … Continue reading →

Celebrity Fashion Designers—-Gimme a Break!

It’s no secret that Hollywood A-lister’s don’t have to have knowledge of fashion design (or fashion sense for that matter) to have an entire collection created in their name. These days you can buy leggings by Lindsay Lohan, jeans by Justin Timberlake, dresses by Madonna and tank tops by Jude Law’s ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller. But the latest round of celebrities turned fashion designers has me rolling my eyes in ways I didn’t think possible. Take for example Britney Spears. The reforming popwreck had custody of her two young sons stripped from her following her public meltdowns, yet she’s now in … Continue reading →

Hold Those Wedding Gifts for Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

Well, that is at least until the wedding is legal. While the couple appeared this week on the cover of US Weekly with the title “Heidi & Spencer Elope!” we find out now that the wedding wasn’t legal. The two finally acknowledged today that their “wedding” ceremony that was held in Cabos San Lucas last week was symbolic and not legally binding. I should have known these two attention hogs would not just quietly elope because they loved each other. Oh, by the way, a spread of the “wedding” was featured in this week’s US Weekly. Wonder how much the … Continue reading →

‘The Hills’ Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Elope

Fans saw Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s relationship go from on-again to off-again on the show. Their romance drove a wedge between former BFFs (best friends forever) Heidi and Lauren Conrad. In fact, at one point, no one seemed to know if the two were really engaged or not. But now, the two from “The Hills” seem on-again – for good! The two announced to the press that they quietly eloped to Mexico last Thursday, November 20. The marriage occurred at the One & Only Palmilla Resort outside of Cabos San Lucas. These two usually seem to love the attention … Continue reading →

China’s Most Popular Export Milking the Olympics

You don’t need to have in-depth knowledge about China to know how much actor Jackie Chan means to the country. Chan and basketball superstar Yao Ming are China’s golden boys and its most popular exports (along with Mu Shu Pork). Right now all eyes are on Beijing as the Summer Olympic Games enter week two and no surprise, Chan is in the middle of all the action. The Chinese government recruited the movie star as an Olympic ambassador and he has been busy promoting the Chinese culture at various sporting events. “The Forbidden Kingdom” star was also given the honor … Continue reading →

Stars Branching Out… In Places We Don’t Want Them

If I have to hear about one more Hollywood celeb who has decided to “branch out” into the world of fashion I might just hurl all over my pleather JLo coat. I’m kidding about having the coat… not about hurling. So I’m not sure what to do about my lunch given the fact that actress Lindsay Lohan has just announced that she is interested in launching her own perfume line. The 21-year-old free spirit says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and JLo and come up with a scent that is uniquely her own. … Continue reading →

Getting Axed in Hollywood—-Lindsay, Anne, and “The Sopranos”

So much for getting into the mind of a menace… At this point the role wouldn’t be a stretch for derailed actress Lindsay Lohan, but alas, studio bosses thought the risk for them would be far too significant. According to reports, Lohan has been axed as the star of an upcoming biopic of murderer Charles Manson. The repeat rehabber had signed on to play Nancy Pittman – a member of Manson’s “family” – in the independent film “Manson Girls.” That was more than a month ago. Now, reports say Lohan’s contract has been cancelled because studio big wigs fear the … Continue reading →

Pretty Girls Guest on “Ugly Betty”

They might be pretty on the outside but two big name divas preparing to make their debuts on ABC’s “Ugly Betty” this month have track records that call into question their inner beauty. First up: Supermodel Naomi “I-use-my-cellphone-to reach-out-and-touch-people-in-all-the-wrong-ways” Campbell. The former jailbird reportedly felt right at home on the fashion-friendly “Ugly Betty” set. But forget about how Campbell felt, I’m more interested in knowing how her notorious reputation preceded her on the job? Shockingly, nary a bad word was uttered about the diva’s guest stint. According to series regular Michael Urie, Campbell was “awesome” the entire time she shot … Continue reading →
