For those of you who have never seen a picture of me, I am pale. Pale pale. I also don’t sun myself, I don’t self-tan, I don’t spray tan. I tried that stuff in high school, but I have long ago resigned myself to a life of fair skin, sunscreen and wide-brim hats. That’s just how things have to be. I’ve been genetically blessed with very good skin, texture-wise (which I guess partially makes up for not getting the skinny gene), but still, it’s nothing compared to the radiant glow [...]

I think it’s almost beyond argument at this point that the Beverly Hills cast is the best Real Housewives has to offer, no matter if you love them or hate them. Not only are most of the ladies legitimately rich, which gives us a nice inside look at their lavish lifestyles, but they seem to have the most genuine drama. Even if I felt a little bit weird watching last season with Taylor’s domestic abuse and Russell’s suicide, I couldn’t pull myself away. That’s the only time I’ve ever been [...]

You guys know me: I don’t like to blow up someone’s spot without just cause. Most stars do a perfectly reasonable, if not amazing, job of dressing themselves, and as long as that’s the case, I generally don’t take issue. On the other hand, I totally take issue with Vanessa Hudgens. Did you guys watch the “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say” YouTube video? The one where the guy says, “Everyone at Coachella looks like Pocahontas went to Burning Man?” That’s what Vanessa looks like every day of her life. At first [...]

If you’re one of our regular readers, you know how obsessed I am with Alanis Morissette‘s apparently gigantic bag collection. Alanis has such a down-to-earth, normal public image that I never expected to see paparazzi pictures of her at all, let alone paparazzi pictures of her carrying fabulous accessories along with her jeans and flats. That Alanis carries everything from Proenza Schouler to Gucci to Hermes gives me a joy that I can’t quite explain. I haven’t seen any pics of Alanis from our photo agency recently, but yesterday I [...]

How do people walk around all day in towering six-inch platforms, you ask? Easy: they don’t, or at least the women who are at all concerned about their longterm health don’t. Need I remind everyone how painful a broken ankle is? Because I’ve broken one, and it’s terrible. The worst. From these photos, it would appear that Vivica A. Fox knows of which I speak and doesn’t plan on wearing her sky-high Giuseppe Zanotti Peep Toe Pumps any longer than absolutely necessary. In half of these photos, Fox is heading [...]

I once read an interview with a paparazzo that called out Sarah Jessica Parker in particular for being very savvy in how she deals with the always-looming photographers that want to profit on her merely leaving the house. If you notice, the only time that SJP bothers to get dressed like most celebrities do is when she’s promoting some kind of new movie or project, thereby making it easier for photographers to sell pictures of her to publications that want to gossip about her clothes. When the attention doesn’t benefit [...]

Why does this news make me so happy? I can’t quite say. I’m sort of ambivalent to Kim Kardashian and her travelling circus, but I may be one of the only people who still loves Kanye West. In fact, the more ridiculous and narcissistic and self-involved he gets, the more I love him. Criticizing Kanye for being a jerk is like criticizing Kermit the Frog for being green. IT’S JUST HOW HE IS, OK? Ahem. Anyway. Part of the reason I think that Kim’s (seen here carrying a seriously sick [...]

Isn’t Alyson Hannigan just the cutest? I may be biased because not only did I love her on Buffy, but I also think her character Lily on How I Met Your Mother is hilarious, but I have the distinct feeling that she’d be a really nice, down-to-earth person if you were to meet her randomly. Not only that, but Alyson seems to be devoted to her adorable daughter, not to mention her baby on the way. I can’t resist a cute family – it’s the same reason I really like [...]

Not only do I remember when Hilary Duff was the adorable, fresh-faced Lizzie McGuire, but as a tweener at the time, I was actually in her target audience, if a little on the old end. I never watched her show, but I remember having friends who were obsessed with it, and that period of my life doesn’t seem like all that long ago. Duff’s guest turn on Gossip Girl seemed like a natural career progression – she went from a tween idol to a participant in a guilty pleasure for [...]

Is there any more appropriate visual representation of the foofaraw that is New York Fashion Week than rapper Nicki Minaj? I think not. She’s colorful, in-your-face, over-the-top, unrelenting and begging to be noticed, just like most of the people, both designers and showgoers alike, inside the tents at Lincoln Center. Ms. Minaj and the fashion industry are a match made in heaven. It’s no surprise, then, that fashion has embraced her with open arms. From sitting next to Anna Wintour at the Carolina Herrera show last season to hosting this [...]

18 Jan 2012
This is another one of those times when I’m incredibly happy to write about someone I actually like, not just someone who is carrying a handbag worth seeing. If you’re one of the four people on the planet who doesn’t watch How I Met Your Mother, may I suggest that you check it out on Netflix Instant? It’s light, funny and a nice palet-cleanser after rewatching the entirety of Mad Men for the fifth time. (Not that I’ve done that.) Plus, Alyson Hannigan is on it and she’s totally adorable. [...]

By now, you might have heard that Lady Gaga took over New York City earlier this week to launch a small, err, venture in conjunction with Barneys New York. You see, Gaga is a veritable product-generating machine, and from hair bows (and we mean that literally) to custom NARS lipcolor, there are apparently a lot of things we could all own to make our own lives a little more Gagafied. Surprisingly for Barneys, many of the things in Gaga’s Workshop seem to be more-or-less reasonably priced. In order to introduce [...]
