I’m assuming the only reasons she’s being shot by Elle Magazine is cause we’re nearing Thanksgiving and the “gobble, gobble, gobbles” in her song “It’s This One Thing” had Joe Zee thinking turkey…

You don’t need me to tell you that it’s a scary time for Condé Nast. With several of their publications being closed or reduced, the Condé Nast family is in dire need of a little gimmick, and that gimmick may very well be Elle Magazine! Company CEO, Charles Townsend, has showed interested in the publication in the past and “in [their] quest to fill their lineup with broader offerings,” Elle may be the next move Condé Nast makes. We must admit, Elle has been on an impressive incline (probably thanks to the impeccable taste of Kate Lanphear) and will most likely do Condé Nast some good!

Thanks Blay Report!

Five different covers, and the only one I’m even mildly excited about is Zoe Saldana. Katie Holmes looks pretty good, though!

For the longest time I wasn’t sure if I liked Katy Perry, I mean she’s really hot, but personality wise I was on the fence. After seeing this interview with Karl, however, I think I have a new found love for Miss. Perry. She seems a bit nervous, but comes across as very cute. As for Karl, I don’t think that senile bastard has any idea where he is or who he’s talking to (I kid I kid, but seriously how is that dinosaurs ponytail still attached to his head?).

I just got back from the G-Star Raw Spring 2010 show, and while I should be left with impressions of the clothing, I can’t help but wonder why Kate Lanphear, style director of Elle Magazine, was seated behind celebrities Juliette Lewis, Kat Von D, Eric Balfour and Leonor Varela, let alone on the side runway (yep, that’s her in the upper left corner!) I admire Lanphear’s support of fashion, as I’ve seen her at numerous shows and throughout the tents this past week, and I feel like her influence is far more important than an actor’s or tattoo artist’s.

If I learned one thing during this season’s fashion week, it’s this: DAMN PUBLIC RELATIONS PEOPLE NEED TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER.

Twilight meets Gossip Girl in this vampire friendly shoot for Elle.

Rachel looks hot again on the cover of Elle Magazine. Wonder if Ross would still hit that? More photos after the jump.

Miley Cyrus talks ‘why she’s not a kid anymore’ with Elle for the August issue. She certainly doesn’t look like a kid.

Lady Gaga chat’s about her  inspiration for her album and her two favorite topics: sex and fashion.  The one outfit the clotheshorse would perform in (if there was only one for the rest of her career – let’s hope the recession don’t make things that bad!) is revealed. Hint: it’s something she claims she can’t dance in… 

“Mix shades of cream and white for a pristine pairing”, their words not ours.

The problem with street style is that very few people who are chosen by magazines seem to have any. Case in point, this dude spotted by the folks at Elle.com. Aside from looking like Brandon Flowers long lost twin, this guy posses about as much “style” as mid-american preachers wife dressed down for soccer practice.

Please get your eye for fashion checked Elle.com cause you just failed to identity a failure, which makes you about as useful as Vogue.

The numbers are in from magazine land and we have our list of best selling and worst selling celebrities. Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, and Lauren Conrad on the cover sold the most issues in 2008. Issues with Nicole Kidman, Carrie Underwood, and Rachel Weisz on the cover sold the least. So if you want to make cash, skip out on Kidman and give us more Conrad.

Gwennie wears Fall 2009’s most mainstream looks in this ELLE shoot. Seriously, your only indie is Rodarte!!! Shame Elle, shame. You didn’t make her wear the Louis bunny ears. It’s Easter guys and the baby Jesus is now officially going to chuck colored eggs at your asses. 

One of the reasons I adore Kate Hudson is that no matter what the mood of her photos may be, she always has a playful and mischievous air to her. This spread shows the actress in a seductive manner; she looks beautiful, and her clothes look amazing. My favorite has to be the one where she’s sitting on the floor wearing those killer silver shoes. Love you Hudson… keep up the good work.

Thanks to ICYDK for the photos.

As part of her attempt to remain relevant, Ciara gets all avante in a spread for the January issue of Elle. I may have been a little more impressed had it not been for the literal composition: the pseudo subtle poses, the offbeat hair and makeup, the captivating, yet impractical wardrobe. It’s somewhat trite, but also refreshing, since I’m enjoying the fact that more hip hop and R&B artists are embracing high-fashion couture, whether its self- imposed or at the heedfulness of their publicist. I’ll give Ciara some credit though…it was probably her idea.

Masculine femininity. It isn’t exactly the easiest trend to pull off, but it has got to be my favorite one of the season! I’ve always envied guys who get to dress up in their fancy layered suits and tuxedoes, but with the recent move towards masculinity, formal menswear has become yet another thing for women to rock out in.

This trend is all about the layers and accessories…button-down shirts, sweater vests, blazers, ties, bow ties, oxford shoes, dress pants and chunky watches are just some of the items necessary to pull off this trend. But don’t just slap all of these items together and expect people to think you look sexy and chic. You need to balance out the boldness of the masculine items with pieces like miniskirts, tights, heels, jewelry and, of course, simple makeup and hair. Kate Lamphear (pictured in the third photo), fashion editor for Elle Magazine, is the world champ for rocking this look. If you need some inspiration, take a gander at this stylish lady!
