Wordpressing?

2006-02-16T03:41:00.000-08:00

I've been getting really irritated with all the pink blogger-ness of this lately so I decided to try using wordpress and see how that works out:

fluxdemots.wordpress.com

Seriously, tell me what you think---in the comments---about the new look because there isn't much choice style-wise but it's wtf (way the fuck) easier to navigate i.e. search, previous entries, categories, etc.....

Vogueland

2006-02-15T23:52:00.000-08:00

The snotty charm of Vogue:

… Vogue has to be careful. The upcomer might use the word cute instead of panache; she might talk about giving a party instead of a dinner; or describe a suede coat ‘for weekending with the station-wagon set’ rather than ‘for your country home.’ Or talk of going to a jewelry store instead of a bijouterie. Most maladroit of all, she might talk in terms of a best buy rather than an investment, or a coup. Or refer to a ballgown as — one shudders to think of it — a formal. [Source]

Well, they certainly fooled a certain sister of mine. Upon reading a little bit of In Search of Lost Time: "Yeah, I see why you like it. It sounds just like Vogue."

Seriously. Seriously.

Bad-gley Mischka

2006-02-15T23:23:00.000-08:00

These ads that las gemelas Olsen did for Badgley Mischka seriously just don't work.

Obviously, I love the Olsens and everything, but the Olsens as faces of a brand that's famous for its big events-y type dresses just doesn't make sense.

They totally look like two little girls dressing up and I don't know whose fault it us but the dresses in the picture on the left look quite fug.

Actually, the whole idea is fug.

Attack of the Clones

2006-02-15T22:51:00.000-08:00

This is from the TVgasm recap of this week's suspense-asmic* episode of Grey's Anatomy.

The Many Faces of Ellen Pompeo. Clockwise from upper left: happy Meredith, sad Meredith, excited Meredith, frightened Meredith, surprised Meredith, hopeful Meredith, angry Meredith, despondent Meredith, horny Meredith, shitfaced Meredith.

LOL. Especially funny if you actually imagine each expression with the emotion. Hint: imagine a different Meredith monotone voiceover with each "emotion".

Also, did anyone else think that Meredith looked especially cyborg-like while wearing a flak jacket? Sometimes I think Ellen Pompeo is pleasantly depressing and at other times I think she's just ABC's other Teri Hatcher.

Despite the sheer idiocy of this whole 2-episode bomb in the body plotline it did make for some hi-larious screencaps, so definitely check out the other ones in the TVgasm recap. Meredith's fabulous "acting" when the bomb squad guy explodes? Sooooo goood.

*suspense-asmic = overwrought, overacted, overthought, overbotoxed, overdumbed, and under-realistic-ized......ummmm, but it's still my favorite.

Question of the Day

[WOW Report]

I Knew There Was Something Wrong With Abercrombie*

2006-02-12T22:27:00.000-08:00

Meet Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch and one verra weird guy:

"....at A&F headquarters Jeffries always goes through revolving doors twice, never passes employees on stairwells, parks his Porsche every day at the same angle in the parking lot (keys between the seats, doors unlocked), and has a pair of "lucky shoes" he wears when reading financial reports."

Not to mention he's 61 years old and still wearing Abercrombie (if you don't find that picture of him seriously disturbing, you're probably either seriously disturbed...or from L.A.)

Innyhoo, the whole article about this freaktacular is highly amusing and worth reading. Especially the part where they say that A & F is for college students and Hollister is for high school students: lol.......fo' reals???? I think they meant A & F is for losers and Hollister is for Losers, putting the lovely moi firmly in the losers category--note lowercase "l" porfavs.

"One Foot in Gucci, One Foot in the Ghetto"

2006-02-12T22:03:00.000-08:00

The above quote made me loooove Kimora Lee Simmons so damn much that I felt compelled to share some of her life lessons on how to be fabulous (ghettofabulous?) with all y'alls.

"If you're shy, get the hell over it: You're slamming the door in your own face."

"In almost any situation, it is far more devastating to keep your icy cool while the other person gets herself in a flush-cheeked, teary-eyed hot mess yelling in your face."

"Heels, heels, heels. My motto: 4 inches, no less."

"Wear a dramatic coat that almost demands someone help you put it on and take it off."

"Laugh a lot. It makes everybody wonder if it's more fun to be at your party."

"Turn up the music in every room you enter."

Ah! I so want to write these on the whiteboard in my English class. And why shouldn't I? Everybody else writes "inspirational" shit up there.

Mwahahaha!

Just thought I should celebrate the end of the Olympic career of my least favorite ice skater that everyone else seems to love. (Everyone who sucks, that is.)

Yea for Sasha Cohen!

C'mon, she gets featured on Project Runway, how much cooler can you possibly get?

Last Week: The Recap

2006-02-12T20:54:00.000-08:00

Obviously, the only reason I have not been posting in the past week (exactly 7 days! I'm so organized!) is that I have been too busy making like Ashley Olsen in a Hanes T-shirt and being absolutely fab-ulous.

Things That I Have Been Doing While Being Fab-ulous:
* watching the Lindsay Lohan version of Parent Trap....methinks she may have peaked at age 10. (Actingwise that is. Socialwise I suppose she's moved on up, considering that in the movie she takes a picture of Kate Moss with her to summer camp and now the two are pole dancing buddies)
* getting Ds on Physics tests..............translation: NOT failing!!! GO ME!!!
* playing Snood. My puzzle high score is 94661, what's yours, Megan?

....and the #1 reason I was busy last week: Duh! Fashion Week! Where else would Ashley Olsen be but at all the most fabulous of fabulous New York Fashion Week Fall '06 shows???

P.S. Possibly celebrities did stuff last week, but probably nothing very important. You can go check.

Do you recognize these lesbians????

2006-02-05T12:21:00.000-08:00

I do!!!! It's Kim and Sarah from America's Next Top Model, walking around NYC together (fashion week, shmashion peek--as if anyone on ANTM possibly gives a shiitake about real fashion) I think we all know what this means......a reality show couple reunited postshow!!! Yea! Feel-good television!!!

Backstory (for the lametards who don't obsessively follow ANTM history): Kim was the show's token lesbian who actually got pretty far on the show despite her bloated face (looking much sleeked down here, btw) and complete inability to take good pictures. Sarah was the "straight" girl who hooked up with Kim then got kicked off the show and was promptly forgotten.

Not that it matters but I hate Kim maybe a few iotas less then I did on the show because of:

1. her outfit........pretty durned cute, and very much working for her 2. the fact that she apparently didn't rip Sarah's heart out on TV and then forget about her, because we don't really want to see another life ruined on reality tv.

Kirsten: Not only Drunkst but a Whore?

2006-02-04T15:40:00.000-08:00

Kirsten Dunst was left speechless after an old man asked her if he could lick whipped cream off her naked body. The actress was reportedly approached by the unknown man, believed to be in his 50s, as she waited for a limousine outside a Los Angeles hotel. According to onlookers, Dunst started to walk away after the man made his illicit request, and he was allegedly overheard saying: "Wait. What's the matter? I come to watch you dance every weekend."

When the 23-year-old star confronted him about what he had said the embarrassed guy apologized, explaining he had mistaken her for a local stripper.

A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Sport newspaper as saying: "Kirsten asked him what he was talking about and he said he'd confused her with a stripper from a nearby club." [Source]

Maybe when you're no longer prettier than Zach Braff it's time to start growing your hair out again....hm, Natalie?

Garden State costars Zach Braff and Natalie Portman practice making sweet music together at New York City's Public Theater on Monday, where they performed at an event celebrating show tunes.

Or is your unappealing hair supposed to go with the unappealing movie choice: V is For Vendetta???

LiMoLo Fucks Herself Up.............Again

2006-01-29T13:49:00.000-08:00

Damns, Lindsay went to the hospital for like the kabillionth time because she got like "cut by a teacup" or some bullhockey....

This girl just don't quit. She's like that woman in Gray's Anatomy last week who wanted to live in the hospital forever because she was afraid that moving into the old folks' home would make her *gasp* old.......all I can say is: Accept your fate Lindsay Morgan Lohan you are growing old, bitch! Damn, you're like 20 going on dead.

Innyhoo, I looove the way Linds's mom describes el incidente:

“Lindsay was going up the stairs, carrying a ceramic teacup,” Dina Lohan told Star. “She had just come out of the shower, so she was still wet and had some lotion on, and she completely flipped on the stairs. … The teacup went flying, it was shattered and one of the pieces cut Lindsay on her shin.” [Source]

Sheesh, Dina! ".....still wet and had some lotion on"???? Way to pull a Joe Simpson and whore out your firstborn! *le tsk tsk*

Once, Twice, Three Times My Petie

2006-01-28T11:28:00.000-08:00

Hum, Pete Doherty got arrested 3 times yesterday!

Wow, impressive, maybe I need to phase out my crush on him before he dies.

On the other hand........I kind of like him more because according to that article he drives a Jaguar too, *le sigh* how much more perfect and Britishly drug-addictly cute can he get???

First the Chronic (what!) cles of Narnia (or the Lazy Sunday rap as laaaaaaaaaaaaaame people call it)....now this Young Chuck Norris video.

On the plus side for SNL: yea! finally something funny is on the show (incidentally....something kind of hot too, right? I'm not alone there?)

On the minus side for SNL: Why the hell would I waste my time watching the whole fucking show when I can watch all the best bits on the internets?

Ooooh! and in related news.........watch Lazy Monday! It's the West Coast's response to Lazy Sunday, and it makes California seem really, um, cool.

OMFG! Celebrities Eat?????

2006-01-22T23:34:00.000-08:00

Yah, they do, and the do it really funny-style too:

"AH AM ALSO DAH GUVVANAH OF DA HAMBUGGA AN I GIVE YOU DA DEATH PENALTY!! JINGLEALLTHEWAY!"

I'm soooo in love with this site (aka faaabulous new time-waster) which is full of funny pictures of celebrities eating with hi-fucking-larious captions.

Although, apparently I'm not up enough on Cahleefornia politics to get this caption........does the governator say "jingle all the way" a lot or something? Ah, whatevs, the point is that Ahnuld looks FUNNY when he eats......even his friends laugh at him!

Lil' Lohan Red Riding Hood....

2006-01-22T23:08:00.000-08:00

...hath vanquished "Big Bad" Yoko Ono (aka "Ugly, Annoying, Greedy, Best-Band-Ever-Ruining" Yoko Ono....or UAGBBER YO for short)

See, apparently it was bothering UAGBBER YO to be "forced to watch the reenaction of her husband's murder on the doorstep of her New York City home, after failing to ban producers from filming new movie CHAPTER 27 at the location."

But when "Yoko immediately checked if the Dakota building had the right to refuse them filming the facade, and found out that legally, all they had to do was to get the permission of the city." We knew there weren't nothing she could do to stop us! [Source]

So, "Ha! in yo face Yoko!" laugh Lindsay and I "IN. YO. FACE!" and um, then she goes off to hang out with fat Jared Leto and I shake my head in dismay at the mess he hath made of himself.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is Insane

2006-01-22T09:46:00.000-08:00

Seriously. Bat-shit insane:

"Teri Hatcher is my favorite Desperate Housewife. She's just sex on legs. She's an older woman who I imagine could teach me a few things." [Source]

That's definitely crazy talk. I used to think he was marginally hot (okay, sometimes I thought he was hot, really hot, really really hot........but then sometimes he looked like this) but now he's definitely off the prospective husbands list because, let's be honest, I really don't want to take the risk of ending up with crazy babies.

Hillary Duff's #1 Fan?

2006-01-22T09:30:00.000-08:00

Let's Count the Ways in Which This is So Very Wrong:

1. Joel Madden.....nuff said
2. Public Display of Duff-love.....why exactly does he want people to know that he's with an emaciated former Disney princess?
3. Trucker hat
4. Airbrushing???????
5. Pink and Purple AIRBRUSHING?????

Chanel on the Cheap

2006-01-22T04:43:00.000-08:00

Ack! I love love love these pins! They're the next best (and waaaaay cheaper) thing to those Chanel slip-on sneakers that look like Vans* and did I mention that I'm in lurrrrrrve with them???????

You can buy various labelicious pins at ioffer.com

* I'm kind of afraid to wear my normal Vans because I feel like total poser (me, skateboarding............) but anyway, I feel like the Chanel version would be totally unposerish because what self-respecting skater would want designer shoes?

P.S. About all this shit concerning Chanel's "huge" mistake in lending Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman preworn frocks at the Golden Globes. Dude, get over it, and shut up about actresses boycotting Chanel or something. Chanel is Chanel and (erm, nothing personal against Reese or Natalie both of whom I love, but) these bitches should just shut up and be thankful for the fucking gorgeous clothes they get to wear for free.

Fat Actor?

2006-01-22T03:08:00.000-08:00

Looking at some horrifying before and after shots from A Socialite's Life, well, for his sake (and for the sake of world-hotness levels in general) I really hope Jared Leto's been wearing a fat suit as he films the new (Lindsed Loheto spectacular) Chapter 27.

I'm not the hugest Jared Leto fan (post Jordan Catalano that is) but the hotness of that first pic is undeniable. Seriously, what a step up for ol' Lindsay Lohan from Wilmer Vanderrama to that..........and then to see it all disappear? That would be really tragic. Almost as if she were destined to date chubby, annoying actors for the rest of her life. Poor Lindsay. Oh for the sake of the Lindsay in us all, please get hot again Jared!

The Sundance Swag

2006-01-21T18:16:00.000-08:00

Life is sooo unfair:

"The Sundance Channel Gift Bag is being given to 250 pre-selected individuals, including cable and satellite affiliates, film and TV makers, talent, and strategic marketing partners, according to Kirk Iwanowski, SVP of marketing at the network. And what's some of this year's loot for the lucky group? Kenneth Cole returns with a full grain leather duffel bag containing the new Apple video iPOD (60 gb); an AMC entertainment card worth $150; Block head-ware; a full year membership to the chic David Barton Gym, including five private training sessions; a visit to Exhale Spa; a $100 gift card to China Grill; Grey Goose Vodka; J Crew cashmere gloves; a 'day of skiing' at the Sundance resort, including ski rentals and passes for two; a two-night stay at a W Hotel and more including an DVDs from ThinkFilm and Sundance Channel as well as a Leonard Cohen CD" [Source]

Really, all I can think when I read this is that it is so unfair that people don't give ME swag. Well, that and why the fuck is it such a manly swag bag? Really, doesn't it seem very macho to you.....are they saying that women can't make it onto the top 250 list????????

Adrien Brody & The Thug Life

2006-01-21T18:04:00.000-08:00

Hm, Adrien Brody, appears to be really racially confused or something. How does he remain so attractive despite the fact that he talks like an 11 yr. old boy? No matter how badly he disgraces himself with this article in Mass Appeal magazine (no, I've never heard of it either) I still have to say that he does rock the head tilt pretty well:

Mass Appeal: So you were in Bullet with Tupac, right?

Adrien Brody: Oh, yeah. I went bombing with Tupac. Get the fuck outta here. I went bombing in Brooklyn with Tupac. On the wall, he was writing “Thug Life” before any Thug Life albums were out, and he had it on his chest. I was like, What the fuck is Thug Life? That’s cool. I think some of it might be on the wall in a scene in Bullet. I forget what I wrote.

Mass Appeal: Did you spend a lot of time with ’Pac?

Adrien Brody: Mickey [Rourke] and ’Pac’s boy had this fistfight, so we’re all just chilling, drinking in Mickey’s trailer. ’Pac would come out in a blaze of smoke, and we would all hang out a lot. One night, we shot all night. I finally got one take or two takes, because the sun was coming up. I just came through in the crunch. It was independent guerilla film making, craziness. Afterwards, I was hanging under the Major Deegan [Expressway] in a limo at like four in the morning when I played my ’Pac my beats on cassette! I remember chilling with ’Pac, just cruising on the way home in the back of the car, sun coming up—it was a dream come true. It was just one of those moments." [Mass Appeal Magazine via The Corsair]

If Your Aunt Minnie is a WHORE!!!

2006-01-21T17:52:00.000-08:00

On the one hand, it's funny that Woody Allen would give Scarlett Johanssen fashion advice, because, well....he's Woody Allen* and since when has he been such a fashionista(o?). On the other hand it's also funny because he's so right:

FWD: What do you think of Scarlett’s style?

Woody Allen: I have had many conversations with Scarlett on this subject. The main thing I tell her is to simplify. I think that she dresses older than she should. I would tell her to wear her hair looser, to lessen the makeup and heavy red lipstick. Be more natural. It’s a starlet thing. She is a beautiful girl but I have told her to tone it down.

FWD: Are there any specific designers you would recommend?

Woody Allen: I wouldn’t go that far. But I have told her to dress her age, instead of dressing like my Aunt Minnie." [Fashionweekdaily]

*Although the FWD article does make his look sound a lot classier than it's alway appeared to the naked eye, describing his outfit as "a trademark slouchy green cashmere jumper" and leaving out any mention of his lovely trademark Groucho Marx glasses.

I Spit in the Face of PETA: Ptooey!

2006-01-20T16:42:00.000-08:00

OMFG! I love when Mary-Kate whips out the furs, they look so good! (No sarcasm there guys, I get that certain (stupid) people don't understand MK's look---and yes, Mr. Blackwelll, with his stupid little "worst-dressed list" is one of those dumbasses--but the point is that I like the way she dresses and her look has nothing to do with the tack-ay imitations that give her such a bad name....)

Innyhoo, that was just a long intro to this little gem of an excerpt from today's Gawker Stalker:

I saw Mary-Kate Olsen at Galaxy Deli on 10th street and 3rd ave. around 10:30 pm tonight. She was wearing a fur jacket, black leggings, black platform high heels, a big gold ring and a silvery snake ring, and a black sunhat-shaped hat made of velvet or felt. She’s actually pretty, with a heart-shaped face. She was at the cash register taking her sweet time picking out lots of candy: Twizzlers, Starburst, Tootsie Rolls. She kept talking about the Tootsie Rolls to the chubby, fey boy she was with. He said something about kids from his acting class to which she responded with a comment that I didn’t catch, but the inflection in her voice is what I like to call the slack-jaw-ennui-up-talk. Then he said sarcastically: “You’re getting cold-hearted in your old age.” One or both of them smelled like booze.

See! Proof that Tootsie Rolls are truly her favorite candy! I mean we all read the rumours......but I still had my doubts. I feel much more at peace now that I know it's for real.

Okay, plus I just liked it b/c her outfit sounds cute in that special MK way: love the black leggings with black platforms......and obvs. the fur. Um, the hat though? Seriously? That's venturing onto dangerously J.Lo infested territory, right?

Dear Misters Masterson,

2006-01-18T23:11:00.000-08:00

First of all sorry about your shows (That 70's Show for Danny Masterson and Malcolm in the Middle for Chris Masterson) getting cancelled. Boo fucking hoo, I hated both of these shows anyways.

My real point was just that I think it's super cool and random that you guys are brothers.

Damn It Feels Good to Be a Hamster

Dear Georgey Porgey Pudding & Pie,

2006-01-18T22:40:00.000-08:00

Please tell me you did not kiss this girl or I will cry. Ew. Gross. George Clooney, if you're for reals dating this hag then you're for reals off my Hot Old Guys list. (Which will leave Clint Eastwood pretty f'ing lonely)

TERI HATCHER and GEORGE CLOONEY are playing coy about their rumoured romance, by refusing to chat about their reported date.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star Hatcher is staying quiet about the ‘date’, while Clooney insists “it’s a good rumour”.

The actress says, “If I went on a date with George Clooney I would not be talking about it.”

And gentleman George adds, “She is my neighbour, though, and she’s beautiful.” [Source]

Oh wait, never mind, apparently you already cleared the air about this frightening rumour (You can go hang out with Clint again). Still.....calling that creature beautiful? Not hot man, not hot.

How To Study For Finals

2006-01-16T22:01:00.000-08:00

1. Watch Cheaper by the Dozen 2 even though you said you never would. Give me a break, it was Hilary Duff's first movie as a skinny minnie (for some reason that always runs through my head when I think of her....maybe it's the Disney, maybe the fact that mice have big teeth?) Anyhow, my (un)tasteful self enjoyed it despite the fact that its humour was "....as malnourished as Hilary Duff appears to be" Ha ha, eat that Hil.D......hmmm, maybe I should call her Hil. D. it has a nice "horsedfaced Hildie" ring to it while still retaining that sugary Disney popstar vibe.

2. Watch Tristan and Isolde even though it obviously wasn't going to be supa dupa (considering the fact that I saw most of the previews on TV) and drool over James Franco. I love him because a) He's pretty. b) Basically any cookie cutter "hot guy" is like 5 bazillion times hotter in an ancient warrior costume. c) He comes from Palo Alto which has a severe lack of interesting famous people (No! The Donnas are not interesting)

3. Watch (so fucking overhyped) 24 because people talk about it so much that it must be good, right? Wrong. What a waste of 4 hours of precious TV space this week....and really, WTF with the 2 day/4 hr season premiere, a little full of ourselves are we? Surely that's more than anyone could stand?

Actually, the absolute crap that is 24 kind of brought home the fact that TV is a lot less inspiring lately than usual...............I look back fondly on the early days of Alias, the O.C., Sex and the City, even as recently as Lost. Lately my favorite show is Grey's Anatomy and frankly, that's just because there's nothing better at the moment.

They wonder why we're so addicted to reality TV, huh? Give me Laguna Beach any day over 24! What's stupider: watching superficial people (successfully) act funny and superficial or watching superficial people (unsuccessfully) act important and exciting?

4. Watch a lot of other crap TV and then bitch about it all. My life is so hard.

You'll Never Get to Heaven If You're Scared of Getting High....

2006-01-15T16:59:00.000-08:00

....yeah, according to Kylie anyway.

Um, and maybe to like every celebrity. Here's a nice lil' compilation of pictures of famous peoples getting high.

Hmph, and they say Kate Moss isn't a good role model??? Geez, at least she gets high in the privacy of her own recording studio.

Question: Does Bush still have game? (I'm assuming we all agree he was pretty much hot stuff back in the day.......c'mon when he put on that cheerleading uniform.....)

Answer: Hellz to the yah! C'mon, I think Angela Merkel (the German Chancellor) looks pretty flustered when he gives her the ol' college try.

WTF of the Day

2006-01-10T21:44:00.000-08:00

WTF?

Sienna Miller has been painting with her breasts. The on-again-off-again sweetie of Jude Law has been in character to play Edie Sedgwick, one of Andy Warhol’s entourage, in “Factory Girl” and she’s been using her breasts to paint large canvases, which she has displayed in her London home. She explains: “I’ve got rooms covered in [bleeps].” [Source]

Blargh. I hate Sienna......like we really nee to know this. Ooh, she's such a trendsetter (and such a better role model than Kate Moss, if only we could all be as edgy and method as her.) Double Blargh.

But he's bringing the fans with him (another maybe, since I doubt Pete Doherty's fans are the court going types....y'know, like lawyers and stuff)

Innyhoo.....he interrupted a concert to invite his fans to court with him (and help him fight for the right to party?)

P.S. Wow, it was a huge oversight on my part to omit Pete from the post below! He's mos defs a contender for my favorite cokehead.

2006-01-09T21:11:00.000-08:00

Hm, it seems that I haven't really been keeping y'alls updated on what's going on with Kate "the Great" Moss

....this because I'm so ovah all this "blah blah blah she's a bad role model and a cradle robber" shite. Or as (another) London Cokehead would say....

Note to the British Police : Leave Kate the fuck alone , she hasn't done anything wrong apart from snort a few lines " Ooooo is that illegal or something ", do something useful like arrest some crack dealers or street muggers. If I can sit in a cafe on Portobello Rd and watch them operate, surely you can.. Or is that too much like hard work nowadays for you all ??

P.S. I'm kind of totally addicted to this Cokehead guy......he's fucking hilarious.

SARK ATTACK: PART DEUX!

2006-01-08T19:42:00.000-08:00

Um....it's part deux b/c when I typed in "Sark" the little prompt-y thing was all "hows about 'Sark Attack'" and I was like "Damn, that's clever.....too bad I already used it!" Wait......I have an idea of how I could make a whole new popular MTV series without coming up with another title because I'm LAZY! Um, I mean blog post title.....y'know what I haven't had ANY caffiene ALL DAY.....I think I'm just naturally like this. *Le Sigh*

TV Guide’s Shawna Malcom of has learned that the producers of the newly cancelled “Alias” are mulling a spinoff series:

Among the formats Pinkner and Abrams have discussed is a spin-off series revolving around villains Sark (David Anders), Peyton (Amy Acker) and Sloane (Ron Rifkin). "It's the triumvirate of evil!" Pinkner says. (No official discussions with ABC have taken place yet.)

Brokeback Moustache

2006-01-08T16:08:00.000-08:00

I finally went to see Brokeback Mountain
yesterday and after having heard many reviews both positive (Perez Hilton) and negative (Ted Casablancas) I must say that I was shocked (shocked!) that no one said anything about that crime of a moustache inflicted on Jake Gyllenhaal's face about 1/2way through the movie.

My point being that if you're going because you want to see two hot cowboys, you may be sorely disappointed. However, if one hot cowboy is good enough for you than feast your eyes on this! I <3 Heath 4eva!

P.S. If sad endings are too much for your tender soul (or your unwaterproof mascara) I suggest you walk out say....10 or so minutes early and read Simon Doonan's alternate happy ending instead.

Yup, it's not Kimberly Stewart it's not even Paris Hilton: it's Mischa Barton giving the two aforementioned skanks a run for their "terrible terrible taste" money.

Ew, not to mention she's also wearing a T-shirt from her incredibly lame boyfriend's incredibly lame band. Talk about a bad day.

Um, apparently my ability to make snappy post titles has been sucked out of my like schools sucks away my happiness: SLUUUUUURP

Innyhoo, according to People

Lindsay Lohan was admitted to a Miami hospital Monday night after suffering a severe asthma attack and is now “resting comfortably,” a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE.

An asthma attack, hm? So I guess "asthma" is the new "exhaustion". And if you ask me, lil' LiMoLo looks like she's been hitting the asthma pretty hard lately, begging the question: will 2006 usher in some more hot rehab action. I mean 2005 was pretty rehab-apaloozaish itself what with (off the top of my head) Kate Moss, Donatella Versace, and Pete Doherty (sorta) all heading to Arizona. Still, I think we can expect even bigger things from 2006!

Yea! Just returned from loooong vacay involving cranky family, bitchy airport personnel, missed connections, and lost luggage....what's one thing that can make 2006 look better?

JUNK FEUD IS FINALLY BACK!!!

Yea! I've missed Junk Feud soooo much and I was worried she wasn't coming back.....although, orange? Is that really better than pink? I think not, but (other than that one little quibble) I have no complaints.

So, um that's all I know about what I missed while I was gone, but really I think that Junk Feud's relaunch is the only important thing that I could have so missed.

This cell-phone shaped flask is Style.com's Item of the Week (click for larger image so you can read the caption, it's really quite reasonably priced) as perfect for, "quick nips in the limo" and "spiking inadequate punch at a New Year's party."

Sheesh, the O.C. and Vogue both are just such bad influences on me. I should go back to watching Gilmore Girls instead.

Kate (The Only "Moss" In Our Woods)

2005-12-22T16:56:00.000-08:00

I am totally obsessed with this necklace (and its name) Plus, I think it's time my jewelry collection expanded beyond the constraints of Urban Outfitters, I mean the Laguna Beachers buy jewelry at Urban Outfitters and even I know better than to follow their fashion example.

Anyway, considering that Kate's price is quite reasonable ($54) I think I should buy myself the gold one for Hannukah and the silver one for Christmas.

Ah, the joys of being a halfsie

Fashion Disaster

2005-12-22T16:13:00.000-08:00

"THE cost of a transit strike to department stores and designer boutiques in New York during the week before Christmas and Hanukkah will undoubtedly be staggering. The cost to the greater cause of fashion could be even worse."

When perusing the NY Times, I rarely actually read the articles because of the air of droning voices and and utter boredom that their little blurbs manage to exude.......yet occasionally I run across something so frighteningly important that am I persuaded to actually click through the kajillion pages the article consists of. Really, with a hook like this, how can I resist?

In this time of trouble the NY Times is spotting a resurgence of terrible fashion faux pas such as "weird, leotardy types of things and oversize purple Patagonia sweatshirts." You think that's silly? Are you thinking that the Times is being just a tad overdramatic, but wait,

It was, after all, the transit strike in 1980 that led millions of New Yorkers to walk to work wearing business suits with running shoes, usually white. It was a look born of practicality, but one that commuters refused to cede when that strike ended, as if their long-term comfort was another chip on the union's bargaining table. Thus was born one of the worst fashion trends ever.

White sneakers with business suits! Arrrrrghhhhh, we cannot let another national disaster like that one occur! Damn unions! Those kerflingin' ungrateful socialists are at the root of all fashion evil.

I totally take back what I said about feeling sorry for Leonardo DiCaprio because Gisele had moved on to someone who is actually hot.

Leo is supposedly with this 20 year-old Victoria's Secret model.
Um, so I guess that means Leo is over it too.

The Worst Best-Dressed

Vogue, how could you do this to me?

Sienna Miller "starring" in your best dressed January issue.........is this how you want to start off our year? On a lame, copycat, slept-her-way-to-fame note?

Oh, and when you refer to her as a "Headline Maker" and a "Rule Breaker" I assume you're referring to the headlines she made when her famous boyfriend cheated on her and the rules she broke by following Kate Moss's style down to every last hat, flat, and jean.

I assume Vogue just stuck Sienna on the cover because she's a "famous actress" who is more likely to sell magazines than say, someone with original style, but it still hurts.

Not to talk about only Chanel or anything, but how gorgeous are five black Chanel outfits all in a row? Certainly too gorgeous to leave languishing on Teen Vogue's hit or miss page, because sometimes I doubt your commitment to annoyingly undersized magazines.

(Ashley Olsen, Mia Maestro, Diane Kruger, Lindsay Lohan, and Amanda Hearst) It almost makes me not hate Mia Maestro (not quite though, I still kind of blame her for the downfall of Alias)

Dear New Face of Chanel,

2005-12-20T10:31:00.000-08:00

First of all, puh-leeze don't get used to me calling you that all the time or anything because I'm getting very tired, very fast of you flaunting this new contract in our faces all the time.

Rule #1 As a face of Chanel you are expected to look good all the time.

Rule #2 Yes, you are expected to show some Chanel love, but (and this is a big butt) never at the risk of making it look ugly.

That said, please never pull a stunt like this one where you drape your self in advertisements, and fail MISERABLY at making it look good! Now, I know this sounds a little harsh, Linds, but you are no longer representing yourself, you are representing CHANEL.

No Lindsay, DON'T try to explain yourself. You are a bad enough influence on your little sister as it is--btw, EW, ALIANA, go to your room and change NOW--and I think we all know how hard it is to overcome sisters with bad taste. Besides (since I refuse to sully this post with pictures of you making a fashion victim of yourself) I posted a picture of you doing the Chanel right, and you look very purty here. Thank you, that is all.

Seriously, this lumberjack is here for you in your time of random breakdown and on top of the paper towels he offers to wipe your teary eyes (Uh, no word on way such a sensitive guy doesn't have something softer like, say, Kleenex lying around the log cabin....but I guess the best ads aren't really the best ads if you know what I mean) Never mind those rough towels though, the Brawny man will also soothe you with tiramisu and the ol' six string.

Dear LiMossLo,

First things first: congratulations on figuring out that you two of the only cool celebrities (although Kate: you're obviously about 10,003 times as cool as Lindsay) and getting together for a little dinner at Mr. Chow's.

Quick note to Linds: smart move figuring out who's hot and complimenting them so as to get in their good graces: “She looks great. She wears things that could take hours to put together, but she probably doesn’t take much time.” -LiMoLo....yes, Lindsay I see the way your Machievellian little mind functions and I know that you were taught well by the Mean Girls.

Now, Kate, obviously you look gorgeous. You own the skinny jeans with flats look, other celebs who try it get compared to you, as Scarlett Johanssen learns from Elle: "...trend-setter Johansson's chic black skinny [jeans] set off a cavalcade of covetous glances among the assorted stylists. Think Kate Moss...." [Source] yet you're not one to rest on your laurels. Props for your innovative little leather jacket/capelet thing!

Now & Then

2005-12-14T19:35:00.000-08:00

(With "Now" on the left and "Then" on the right, in case you couldn't figure that one out.)

Okay, obviously I'm firmly on the Lindsay side in that little feud, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate Hillary for her more saccharine take on the Disney princess.

In fact I just watched her most recent movie, The Perfect Man (craptastic, but cute guy and cute little sister--isn't that how it always goes?) Aside from these cuties (the former a comic book geek and the latter a spelling bee champion........wow, the Duffster is so original) what was notable about the movie is that Hillary is beautiful. Granted, it's in the aforementioned saccharine Disney princess way, but she's still incredibly gorgeous---or was gorgeous anyways.

In contrast, in the recent picture (taken some time in the undistant past at the Cheaper by the Dozen 2 premiere....btw, that's one Duffster movie that even I wouldn't subject myself too) Hillary looks like absolute CRAP. Sheesh, when did she become a 40 y.old crack whore? Yeah, we noticed that you lost weight Hil, but it was so not worth it when we take into account those enormous undereye bags you gained and those horrendous new veneers you seem to be struggling to hold in your mouth.

My advice? Lay off the drugs, the Good Charlotte, and the monstrous orange earrings. Then, go get some sleep, eat something wholesome, (may I suggest blueberry pancakes?) dye the hair super-blonde again, and you'll be back to normal in no time. Good Luck!

The Imitible Sinead O'Connor

2005-12-14T06:25:00.000-08:00

Gawker noticed this picture of Natalie Portman appears in a Village Voice review with the caption,

“The inimitable Sinead O’Connor.”

Oh, the irony. On a related note, when is Natalie going to grow back her hair? This "edgy" thing is getting kind of tired and she kind of reminds me of a concentraton camp survivor--or possibly Natalie Portman in a movie where she plays a concentration camp survivor: the shorn head, those dark, hollow eyes, that courageously jutting chin.

HiDefinitely Hot or Not

2005-12-14T00:06:00.000-08:00

TVPredictions has compiled a list of the top 10 HiDef hotties......as well as the top 10 notties. Not that I'm likely to be getting a HiDef TV anytime soon, but at least I know now who's been hiding behind the fuzzy flattery of the cameras. C'mon, who doesn't like to hear about celebrities being ugly????

The HiDef Hotties: Eva Longoria, Mischa Barton, Nikki Cox, Jennifer Garner, Alexis Dzenia....um, I don't care who hot these random girls look in HiDef, I have no idea who half of them are! So on to the more interesting part:

The HiDef Notties:
1. Teri Hatcher (duh, she's a bag of bones wrapped in loose saggy skin no matter how you look at her...I do have to admit that she's got nice bone structure, though)
2. Demi Moore (another duh, even that much plastic surgery can't combat the effect that gravity and keeping up with her boy toy seem to have had on her face)
3. Donald Trump
4.Heather Locklear
5.David Letterman (amazingly Dave is also incredibly unfunny in HiDef)
6.Bush
7.Ray Liotta
8.Sandra Bullock
9.Clinton (Whoa, I like Clinton and all but considering how godawful he looks in grainy newspaper photos I can only imagine what those undereye bags of his look like in High Definition....*shiver*)
10.Clint Eastwood (TVPredictions says his skin looks like rawhide, but you can't hate on that, it's part of his weathered cowboy appeal!)

Down in Albion

2005-12-13T15:36:00.000-08:00

Now that I kind of love Pete Doherty (the "kind of" being my loophole in case tomorrow he does something really unflattering) I now kind of want Babyshambles' new album: Down in Albion. Which the NY Times called:

"...an obscure and somewhat mysterious and ultimately lovable album"

With music that that is "mysterious and subtly seductive"...wow, I guess the NY Times' Kelefah Sanneh hasn't learned about the handy automatic thesaurous in word documents. Frankly, I think it's pretty scandalous that Kelefah gets away with this when he/she(?) could have said "enigmatic" or "divine" or "insoluble"---never mind, I guess Kelefah just figured out quicker than me that the computer is not actually very good at offering usable synonyms. (Huh, perhaps this is why my essay grades suck recently)

Besides the mystery factor, this album has Kate Moss singing backup on "La Belle et la Bête"!!!!! How can this lovable album remain so obscure when it has only the best model ever singing on it? These are the true mysteries of life I think: why do Americans get excited about Paris Hilton singing and yet don't care about a duet sung by this (currently hot) and tragic pair?

Besides, it seems quite likely that P & K were recording this anthem of "...a coked-up pansy/ Who spends his nights in flights of fancy." when the infamous Kate Moss cocaine video was recorded, since we know that took place in a recording studio. And how appropriate is it that they were singing about cocaine as this happened? I guess we're fine with celebrities broadcasting their drug-love to the world as long as there's no photographic proof.

Cannon presented Lohan with her honor, and the two have been spotted out together lately. Previously, Lohan was linked to Jared Leto."

Not okay, Lindsay. Nick Cannon is not cool. Do you even see what he looks like? Did you see the failed preppy look with the completely incongruous white beanie???

Don't you dare let me hear anything more about this, Linds.... Not a word, okay?

Dear Sienna,

2005-12-12T15:48:00.000-08:00

Huh. I still think you get more out of this relationship than Jude since you totally only became successful due to him....but I can't really say he's the hot one anymore.

First of all he's totally doing the greasy, dirty, British look which doesn't really work with his pretty boy look. And then that silky looking scarf against the chest hair????? Is he kidding?

Hm, I see you're going for the pretty girl with sleazy man look, and I do have to point out that you're a still a step behind Kate Moss since she seems to be way over Pete Doherty by now.

On the other hand, I have to say that (despite my long history of Sienna-hatred) You look gorgeous here. That coat is totally hot and I love the boots and headband too.

The Making of an Addict

2005-12-12T04:35:00.000-08:00

If you're interested, go read the whole MK article in W online, but it really just boils down to "College is hard" blah blah blah "Paris is a man-stealing ho" blah blah blah, this is the good stuff where MK opens up about her addiction:

"...Indeed, even more so than the motorcycle purse, it's the Starbucks cup that has become Mary-Kate's most identifiable accessory. When I first meet her at 4:30 in the afternoon, she's nervously clutching a mug of coffee, then it's on to a Diet Coke. Before 10 p.m., she will drink two more Ventis and smoke several Marlboro Reds with her publicist, Michael Pagnotta, who has worked with her since she was five. (Of the two to four giant Starbucks beverages she downs a day, she says she generally alternates between chai latte and skim latte—though she recently discovered the red eye, a potent mix of coffee and espresso. "Those will wake you up," she says, chuckling.)

"When I was younger, on weekends, my mom would make us pancakes with our initials on them and then a tiny cup of coffee," says Olsen. She quickly became an addict. "I remember at 10 sneaking my own coffee and pouring a ton of sugar in and going up to the playroom and drinking it."

So it's not such a surprise when the highly caffeinated actress lets on that—over and above her never-lived-in $7.3 million apartment in the West Village, beyond her tricked-out black Range Rover and even more than her enviable collection of designer bags—the possession she prizes most is her new espresso machine. "It's the most amazing thing I've ever had," she says dreamily. "It makes cappuccino all day long.""

That's pretty hot, right? Sneaking up to the playroom with her coffee? "Chuckling" about her Starbucks habit and talking "dreamily" about her espresso machine. Also what is this "red-eye" thing she's talking about, it sounds intriguing.....especially as I sit here chugging cup after cup of my Peet's holiday blend, it's a lot of work making my own coffee. I wish I had one of those espresso machines like MK has. It would just sit at home making me coffee ALL. DAY. LONG. and when I got home from school, man, would I have catching up to do.

Oh god, Mariah, you are too crazy for words sometimes. I think only a picture with a caption can do you justice:

The singer — famous for her outrageous demands — stunned fans by being too lazy to lift the cup herself. A brunette assistant had to perform the task at regular intervals while the singer signed copies of her album The Emancipation of Mimi.

Sigh, and we thought she was getting a little full of herself when she had her driver drive her dog across the country in a Mercedes.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Mariah, and don't call it a comeback because she never really stopped....except for that brief stint in the hospital for 'exhaustion'....."CAN'T. LIFT. A. SINGLE. MORE. CUP......Mariah collapses in a heap.

According to Babel Fish my (hot) title is how you say Project Runway in German...the language of Project Runway's lovely leader Heidi Klum (Methinks somebody is copying Ty Ty Baby, but I don't mind because ANTM is drawing to a close and I desperately need a some new false reality to keep me going from week to week.)

So, to get down to business, I'm here to tell you that YOU SHOULD WATCH PROJECT RUNWAY, because it's a fucking fantastic show.

1. Fashion designers as well as models compete. (And these models actually look like models unlike um, certain other competing models on a reality TV show)

2. Heidi Klum is pregnant and has a German accent...I'm not sure if that makes the show more or less attractive to you, but I thought it was only fair you should know.

3. Last season = super hot fashioneality drama (enjoyable whether you enjoy real fashion or not, much as reality tv is enjoyable whether or not you are in touch with reality)

4. This season looks to be even hotter and has the added allure of some super fantastique recaps from TVgasm (Of which 2 luverly ones have already been posted)

My Love is Cruel...

2005-12-11T00:37:00.000-08:00

...."My Love" being Joaquin Phoenix of course.

Apparently my love is not only really hot and really crazy but also deviously cruel, if you trust everything you read on the internets, which of course I do. According to my (totally trustworthy, I swear) source:

"Joaquin Phoenix reportedly had a steamy on set affair with co-star Ginnifer Goodwin while filming the Johnny Cash biopic 'Walk the Line'.

But the handsome method actor is said to have cruelly dumped the actress - who played his wife in the film - the day before their break-up scene." [source]

How hot is that? In unrelated news, I decided this picture of Joaq was so hot that I had to make it my background. So far, the relationship is working out quite well (when I'm shirking, his angry glare admonishes me to GET BACK TO WORK! and when I've been working well his smoldering gaze says I LOVE YOU and then I am happy)....um sorry about that little digression. Haha, I was just messing, I totally never have long in-depth conversations wiht my computer.

Dear Ashley Olsen,

2005-12-10T23:29:00.000-08:00

It being the holidays all, I figured this is probably a good time to spread peace and love and goodwill (of the conceptual and cheap clothing varieties) so I thought it was important to remind you that I think you are super-cool.

I know you probably feel a little left out sometimes and maybe even a little insulted by the way you get tossed aside in favor of MK, please don't. Ash, the truth is I <3 you too and when I ran across this picture of you it really reminded me of some of your great qualities:

1) Love the shoes, Ash! You have gorgeous clothes. I may think MK has better style (not that many, many, many people don't disagree with me) but sometimes she can take the dumpster chic thing a tad far, and in those cases you are refreshing because you're a little more glam, a little more label-conscious, a little more polished....in a nutshell you're bling-blingin'.

2) Love, love the super skinny pants!! Um, I don't have anywhere I was planning on taking that, I just love your pants. They're pretty.

3) Love, love, love the venti Starbucks!!! And that's really what reminded me of how much I like you, because people who always drink venti are just way cooler than people who drink lame 'grande' and ultra-lame 'tall'. Please, don't even get me started on the pretentious fucks who refuse to use Starbucks' sizes and ask for a 'medium' coffee. Anyway, I know that you understand how I feel when I'm stuck in line behind one of said fucks and am about to be late for school, and it feels so good to have a fellow venti-drinker to talk to about this!

In conclusion, Happy Holidays!
<3 LCP

Innyhoo, an interesting tidbit from the Defamer's latest Privacywatch...

"...There was a Johnny Knoxville sighting at the Troubadour last Monday. It was a free night with a couple of local bands but who shows up with Johnny Knoxville with none other than Lindsay Lohan. He proceeds to try & buy her drinks the whole night while the staff tells him repeatedly, no she is underage. I guess he got what he came for without the drinks as they then proceeded to make out in the front bar at the end of the night. Just writing this feels as creepy as those two together.

What? Not all bars serve Lindsay Lohan drinks???? Do they not know who LiMoLo is? Do they not know that laws do not apply to celebrities? Re: the whole Knoxville thing, that doesn't really bother me because I watched Jackass the other day and I decided he's super hot.

Another One Bites the Dust

2005-12-07T18:37:00.000-08:00

And this time it's actually kind of sad because they were such a cute couple. (Okay, it's not sad exactly but of all annoying celebrity couples, these two were very low on the annoyingness list and very high on the cute-color-coordinating outfits list...so that will definitely be missed) Here's Us's official announcement:

Us Weekly has learned exclusively that Nicole Richie, 24, and fiance Adam ‘’D.J. AM'’ Goldstein, 32, have called it quits. ‘’They have decided to break off the engagement,'’ Richie’s rep Cindy Guagenti confirms to Us. ‘’The decision is mutual.'’

And here's Perez's (way more interesting) take on the issue:

"Adam was fed up with Nicole," said one source. "Her issues with her weight, I'm reluctant to say 'anorexia', caused her behavior to be very erratic and moody lately."

Another source said that...Adam found out that Nicole was 'partying' when he was away, and he does not tolerate that."

....Surely he's not mad at her for getting suddenly skinny? Granted, she used less orthodox methods to achieve it than him (cocaine vs. surgery?) but still, talk about the (ex-fat) pot calling the (ex-chubby) kettle black (skinny)!

Let's just say that Ryan and Marissa ended up moving their happy couple-ness (Hm, have they ever remained a happy couple for the duration of even one episode?) to U.C. Berkeley.....they could totally continue the show and just change the name to the U.C.

However, I'm wondering whether the show is going to continue at all next year. The only way they could possibly continue it is if the gang all went to the same school, right? And that would put the kibosh on Seth's dreams of turtlenecks and furry hats. Oh well, Northern California would probably end up being way more foreign than he expects, after all L.C. and Kristin both noticed how extreme Bay Area weather gets when they visited San Francisco.

Tinsley Mortimer is the New Paris Hilton

2005-12-05T06:16:00.000-08:00

...and she's been thus dubbed by the New York Social Diary and all I can say is: Ha Ha....that's what you get for flaunting your spoiled self in the the pages of the NY Times. Hmph, now all the little jealous people (like me) who hate you for getting free clothes can at least laugh at you because YOU'RE THE NEW PARIS HILTON mwah ha ha ha.

Here are the (remaining) differences between the two blonde camera whores (admittedly one much more whore-ish than the other):

"Oh there are differences. Mrs. Mortimer tends not to show as much flesh as Ms. Hilton. And although she looks more like a rich girl, the lifestyle is not as luxuriously flamboyant (i.e., Mrs. Mortimer Yellow Cabs it while Paris travels by Bentley or her parents’ SUV). And Mrs. Mortimer comes without the mystique of being an actual “heiress” (quotes intended). Although on the social scale in New York, with the name Mortimer, she’s up there. And on some social scales, way up there, far above her predecessor who, after all, is a California girl. "

Boo, to dissing California girls. After all, don't we wish they all could be California girls? Besides aren't those "sun-kissed" curls a total California girl wannabe thing happening? That's what I thought.

FINALLY TVgasm has started recapping Grey's Anatomy (the only good show on Sunday nights these days....excepting Family Guy of course)

This is an issue very close to my heart because I don't think that Grey's gets talked about nearly as often as it deserves (unlike some other crappier shows starring aging middle aged scarecrows)

I'm wondering what TVgasm will make of this show that I've been watching faithfully from the veeery first episode (I was in a hotel room in Vermont at the time, and actually that's the same trip where I saw my first episode of Lost too....see, college visiting trips are good for something!)

My current Grey's peeve: Izzie's scrubs! They're just waaay too tight and sooo unflattering! Sheesh, they're almost as fugly as (female) Dr. Shepard's salmon colored scrubs.

(If the title didn't instantly make sense to you, you should take more high school english classes so that you can do LAME activities which involve you pinning construction paper letters to your clothing and feeling like a kindergardener)

Anyway, the reason Scarlett should be wearing a 'P' is because according to the whores of fashion's analysis of her NY Times article,

"Ms. Johansson showed up for an interview looking all Kurt Cobain (converse, ripped jeans, cardigan, Truman Capote's In Cold Blood) only to talk about her Tiffany's jewelry, antiques, cashmere, and micro-dogs."

Whatever, that's totally what I would do if I was rich...except for the parts about converse and books and dogs because those things are all dumb and boring.

1. Matching super dark hair....I'm not even going to bother to comment on LiMoLo's color issues at the moment, she knows what color hair she is meant to have, she's just being a rebellious teenager, sigh.
2. His and Hers huge shades
3. His and Hers tight dark jeans
4. Then the gender issues: she's wearing a big menswear-ish plaid shirt--which is really nothing new--but I like how he took the look to the next level by putting on one of her tight cardigans. It's so girly and tight and he obviously thinks he's pretty cool...could this be the next "guys wearing pink" trend?

LiMoLo is the "Most Beautiful Star"

2005-12-02T20:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm not sure she's really the most beautiful, but Teen People is possibly one of the worst magazines ever, so we should be thankful they didn't pick someone truly horrendous like Fergie or something.

“Beauty is grace and confidence. I’ve learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me,” Lindsay has said.

It’s no wonder everyone’s obsessed with this 19-year-old actress-singer-beauty chameleon. Not only is she confident, gorgeous and talented — her brand-new album, A Little More Personal (Raw), is her latest bid for showbiz dominance — but she’s fearless when it comes to switching up her look. Whether she’s blonde, brunette or her natural red, she’s always distinctively Lindsay. “She’s so amazingly confident — that’s the key to any hair color,” says New York City colorist Sarah Gold, who regularly works with Lindsay. “Most girls her age would be crushed if people said they didn’t like her hair color, but Lindsay really has the confidence to pull it off no matter what anyone else thinks.”

Um, whatevs, Lindsay. If you truly appreciated what nature gave you your hair would still be red. Yes, you're pretty with all hair colors but you can stop experimenting because nothing will ever look as good as the red did.

Scandaleuse Beauté

2005-12-02T19:57:00.000-08:00

Obviously, I should've posted this the instant I heard, but better late than never: Kate Moss is on FOUR covers of French Vogue!!! Also, Kate's guest editing the special December issue...which I'm soooo buying.

Ha! Eat that, you stupid people who:
a) don't think she's gorgeous
b) thought the cocaine meant she was over
c) are stupid

Seriously, isn't it hard proof that Kate is gorgeous when magazines can't shoot a cover with her without shooting multiple ones? (See W's NINE covers September 2003)

Details on the issue from fashionweekdaily.com are after the jump...

(NEW YORK) Kate Moss has proved why she’s worth a million bucks.

In the special December issue of French Vogue, which hits newsstands in Europe later this week, the supermodel utilizes her guest-editing skills in a series of couture-centered stories that peg her as the “scandaleuse beauté,” or scandalous beauty.

In a firsthand look at the issue, a Daily exclusive—of which four covers were created based on director Jean Cocteau’s 1946 French film, La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast)—the magazine’s creative director, Fabien Baron, offered a simple reason for choosing multiple covers instead of the traditional single. "We couldn’t make up our mind which one we liked the best,” he offered.

Indeed, it pays to judge a book by its cover. At least this time. Moss is photographed by Craig McDean wearing a series of different ensembles—a Chanel couture cape; a Valentino couture gown; a Giorgio Armani Privé dress with Dior Homme bolero and Givenchy couture boots; and a Dior Homme embellished jacket and Superfine skinny leg jeans—portraying Christmas in what Baron describes as a very French Christmas way.

“Cocteau was one of the founders of the surrealism movement,” he noted. “And at the same time that we came up with this concept, Kate happened to be recording this music also called Beauty and the Beast.” Additionally, on two of the covers, there is noticeable white writing, like that of a child’s handwriting, across the photo, which came directly from Cocteau’s film. “We projected the words La Belle et la Bête onto the cover as an homage to him,” Baron said. As for keeping the covers simple, the choice of black and white was a no-brainer. “We thought it’d look and be different,” Baron said. “It was very much in keeping with the look of the film and the idea at the time.”

While the French Vogue team—led by editor in chief and stylist Carine Roitfeld—encountered no problems producing the cover images, some of the inside stories were, well, a different story. After Moss’ unfortunate drug allegations generated a worldwide scandal, the model, who had designed the initial structure of the stories, sought rehabilitation and as a result, became unavailable to finish several of the main fashion wells. As Baron noted, a couple of pages had to be reinvented and “one of the stories should’ve had all photos of her, but it wasn’t her in the end.”

Baron didn’t want to give away too much, but he did touch upon some highlights. The issue’s longest article, written by Sheryl Garratt (a freelance English journalist who was once editor in chief of The Face), traces Moss’ life, career, and her rise to fashion icon status, and is accompanied by a series of photos Mario Testino shots, along with Moss’ own personal pictures, as well as French Vogue’s own portraits. A portfolio homage to Moss was also created, where major photographers from Bruce Weber to Steven Klein to Patrick Demarchelier to Testino, each dedicated one photo and quote about Moss and how inspiring she has been to each of them. And, of course, there are the requisite fashion stories that were inspired by Moss’ much-emulated aesthetic. “Where in Sofia [Coppola] you could feel all different things about her, this mixture, Kate is more fashion, more stylish, but not to say Sofia isn’t stylish, but Kate’s was more about style,” Baron said, comparing the Moss issue to that of Coppola’s, who guest edited the December 2004 edition of French Vogue.

But even with all the pretty dresses and sugary quotes, what’s most potentially touching is the picture Moss herself selected for the issue’s opener. The image features Moss, her hair flying in the wind, right after she departed from rehab in Arizona. “This was not a paparazzi photo; Kate took it herself and gave it to us,” Baron stated. “We feel that it was very important for the magazine to support her during that time, to not abandon the idea that we had to use Kate. We like Kate because there’s an idea of danger about her. We weren’t going to throw the rocks at her because she got into some trouble. It must’ve been really, really hard for her and I’m proud that French Vogue, and Vogue as a brand, supported her through this. It was honorable of us and very responsible for her to deal with things and to put herself where she is today.”
