Stefani and Natali Germanotta, known to the world as Lady Gaga and — in some parts of the world — Baby Gaga, are reportedly in talks to launch their own fashion line that will be — get this — “relatively normal and wearable.” In the Gagaverse, “normal” and “wearable” are always relative, but when the standard is a sheer Mugler bodysuit perched atop a 12-in tranny heel, how normal and wearable can we possibly get?

There she was, award-winning singer-actress Neil Patrick Harris, doing her darndest to make the Tony Awards interesting — you’ll get ‘em next time, sister — sweating and belting her way through a song about how Broadway is not just for the gays anymore — meanwhile, that bird won’t fly, mostly because its weighed down my eight pounds of sequins — when she soft-shoed her way over to a still stunning and statuesque Brooke Shields, who Suddenly forgot her lines. Way to babble, Brooke.

The 2011 Tony Awards took place at Beacon Theater in NYC last night, and we would like to congratulate all of the talented actresses, actors, writers and crew members who were nominated and took home Broadway’s most prestigious award. Not only are the performances wonderful in all the winning musicals, but the costumes are also at the top of our list. We took three winning musicals – Catch Me If You Can, The Book of Mormon and Anything Goes – and discussed why the costumes make the productions that much better.

Sometimes a boy falls in love with another boy and they start dating. Then, if avoiding the usual pitfalls of gay romance – such as open relationships, meth addiction, and generally being a human male – they may travel to one of the five states where they’re allowed to legally recognize their union and/or travel to an African or Eastern Asian nation for their pick of needy orphans. Other options include paying their way through the American adoption system or finding a willing lesbian with a free uterus, but no matter the method of conception, eventually there is a baby and it is showered with love and attention from various uncles and aunts of varying gender identities. And that baby will, if avoiding the usual pitfalls of adolescence – such as puberty, meth addiction and generally being a human teenager – they may turn out to be well-adjusted member of society. So after all that work and all that love and all those years bringing you up with a full knowledge of the Liza Minnelli canon, shouldn’t you show your appreciation with the best gifts possible for your gay dad(s) this Mother’s Day?

- Alexander McQueen‘s Sarah Burton — whose wedding dress for Catherine, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge (I’m seriously only referring to her as that from now on) is (rightfully) a big, fat critical hit — issued a statement re: designing for the Royal Wedding, saying that it “has been the experience of a lifetime” and that she “enjoyed every moment of it.” Funny, so did I!

Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway looked stunning in every single look Rachel Zoe put her in last night. The only dress I did not like was the Valentino Fall 2002 Couture dress she wore on the red carpet, but we’ll just pretend it didn’t happen. Check out Anne’s top three Oscar looks in the Red Carpet Report Card.

Oscar co-hosts, Anne Hathaway and James Franco lead the pack, along with Hathaway’s Love and Other Drugs co-star, Jake Gyllenhaal and the unlucky in love and other drugs Ryan Reynolds on the cover of Vanity Fair‘s 17th annual Hollywood Issue. The special issue features the best and brightest of young Hollywood. And Robert Duvall. He’s the creepy old bartender peeking out over Mila Kunis‘s arm as she completely owns this photo.

Really?! We’ll believe it when we see it!
Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical may actually be seeing the light of day on the Great White Way!
Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming both dropped out of the production in recent weeks, leaving only relatively unknown Reeve Carney to play Spider-Man, but supposedly the show will go on!
Rehearsals are scheduled to start in the summer followed by previews in October and an official opening in November!
We’re still not too wild on this whole idea.
What do U think?

British soul singer Adele play her part and snagged the Grammy award for best new artist. So, how did Anna Wintour do styling her? Adele walked the red carpet in a custom made Barbara Tfank flared dress and a satin green jacket with tuxedoed Hamish Bowles. Wait…are we sure Wintour styled with Adele in mind or her own personal fashion taste? This looks exactly like something Wintour would wear! Either way, I think the whole look is a bit matronly. The jacket isn’t exactly flattering and the black/green color combo makes me wonder why Adele is on the red carpet and not the Broadway stage of Wicked. Well Wintour, you tried…and failed. Moral of the story: never try.
Thanks for the photo Fashionologie!

Yeah, you heard me. I think I am just about done wasting an hour of every Wednesday night watching Season 5 of Project Runway. The fashion is awful, the drama is ridiculous and I think that the producers have just about run out of creative challenges. Let’s have a little rundown of the designs (from left to right), shall we?”:
Jerrell won last night’s challenge. How? I didn’t know that crumpled grocery bags constitutes as appropriate material for an evening-gown. Not only is the material awful, so are the hems. This dress looks completely thrown together and unfinished. The boobs are totally out of place, and if you ask me, it looks like Jerrell closed his eyes and threw jewels at them. Where will they land…nobody knows.
I think Kenley missed the memo…this is Project Runway, not Project Ursula for The Little Mermaid on Broadway. This dress isn’t at all reminiscent of a flower, maybe a nightmare where Godzilla made an appearance, but definitely not a delicate flower. Oh, and Kenley’s attitude last night was one I’ll never forget: “Wahhh my life was so hard. My dad was a tugboat conductor.” Boo hoo. Go cry yourself a river and ask your dad to sail you away from the fashion world. Perhaps you’d be better at acting.
Korto started out with the right inspiration, but it all went downhill from there. Her tangerine orange gown screams “bad prom dress” and doesn’t seem to have any sophistication at all. The tailoring on the bust was all off…her model seemed cold, if you catch my drift. Much thanks to Korto for hiding her extra tulle and beating Kenley in WWF smack-down backstage.
Leanne probably had the best design of the night, although periwinkle and the random chunk of purple fabric spilling out of the model’s butt didn’t do it for me. The dress looked a little too Disney princess and not enough high fashion gown.
Of course, the producers “surprised” us again and sent all four designers home to complete their collections. I might have overreacted and I probably will watch the last two episodes, but let’s pray that the 3 months the designers are alloted to complete their looks bring some fashion sense into their lives. Amen.
Thanks NY Magazine!
