Muse of the World: Lindsay's Controversial Court Room Couture

Mar 16, 2011 - by Lester Brathwaite

I've got at least two new items to add to my Birthday/Christmas wish list and Lindsay proves it can be easy being chic while lying through your teeth under oath. And a rap icon's body turns cold without having his gat explode.

- Carine Roitfeld is coming out with a 400-page book entitled Irreverent! (I love when an "!" is included in the name) that lists among its contributors, Olivier Zahm, Cathy Horyn and (brace yourself) Anna Wintour. [Styleite]

- Nylon asks if the onepiece, a "high fashion Snuggie" is a good idea or bad idea. I ask why I'm not wearing one right now. [Nylon]

- Givenchy Couture's new CEO, Susan Whiteley is Alexander McQueen's old CEO; and Givenchy Couture's old CEO, Fabrizio Malverdi, is now running Dior Homme. And in this game of fashion musical chairs, Riccardo Tisci is still circling around Dior Couture's creative director's seat. [Fashionista]

- The New York Times compares Lindsay Lohan's court-room walk of shame to a catwalk and the red carpet, both things that Lindsay hasn't been invited near in years. [NYT]

- NBC is working on a new reality competition fashion show in the same vein as The Fashion Show and Project Runway, ingeniously titled, The Fashion Project. As usual, NBC on the forefront of innovation. [The Cut]

- Apparently Rihanna, whose Vogue cover has been compared to the little mermaid can't hold a candle to Ariel. We could also compare their singing, but Ariel would win that, too --  fins down. [The Hollywood Gossip]

- On a sad note, noted rap singer Nate Dogg has died at 41. In honor of him, my favorite quote from his classic duet with Warren G, "Regulate": "If you know like I know then you don't want to step to this' It's the G-Funk era, funked out with a gangsta twist/ If you smoke like I smoke then you're high like everyday/ And if your ass is a buster, 213 will regulate." Good night, sweet prince. [All Music Blog]
