LOL: ‘High School’ Playing Actors Are Actually Really Old

Ever watch a show about kids in high school and find yourself thinking, there is NO way that person is actually in high school? Well ‘Oh No They Didn’t’ broke down six of these supposed teens for us: (from top left to right, bottom left to right)
1. 90210, Oldest Cast Member: Trevor Donovan, 30…he’ll be turning 31 next month.
2. Gossip Girl, Oldest Cast Member: Jessica Szohr, 24..this surprises me, she looks 20, and Ed Westwick looks really old
3. Glee, Oldest Cast Member: Cory Monteith, 27…I don’t even know what this show is, but that guy looks 35
4. The Vampire Diaries, Oldest Cast Member: Paul Wesley, 27…that’s more like 270 in vampire years.
5. The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Oldest Cast Member: Greg Finley, 24…turns the ‘16 and pregnant’ issue of this show to a totally different level
6. Friday Night Lights, Oldest Cast Member: Zach Gilford, 27…up until last year they had a 30 year old…ew.
Two I’d like to add to this list:
The OC, Oldest Cast Member: Benjamin McKenzie, 24. Ryan Atwood is now 31, making him 24 when the first season started in 2003..I guess when you do jail time it sets you back a few years..
The entire cast of One Tree Hill, all now in their late 20s, and in the 7th season of the show. Now they’ve been out of college for a ‘few years,’ but this would put all of them around 21 when they were supposed to be playing 15-year-olds.
Older actors playing high schoolers, your thoughts, creepy, or sexy?

Louis Vuitton Celebrates Man on the Moon

Some expeditions are so rare and fantastic that they merit a huge celebration forty years later—as was the case for last night’s Louis Vuitton party honoring Buzz Aldrin (above left) and the first successful voyage of man onto the moon. My own expedition—across the park to the Upper West Side to the Museum of Natural History—was decidedly less buzz-worthy, but I can almost guarantee my destination was more fashionable than Neil Armstrong’s forty years ago.
Because Louis Vuitton is one of the few luxury brands surviving—and thriving—during the recession, it is to be expected that they throw over-the-top, lavish parties that compete with the bacchanals of ancient Rome—after all, who’s left to do it?
I arrived early and the atmosphere outside was unexpectedly calm—no ravenous party crashers frothing at the mouth for their free Moët. Usually I walk the step-and-repeats, but I took one look at the gigantic carpet with a cluster of video crews at the end and decided to pass. I imagined later that it would have been one small step for me, and one giant rattling of my fragile nerves.
Downstairs was still mostly empty and so the full selection of hors d’oeuvres could be enjoyed without the terrible despair that ensues after you trail one of those handsome cater waiters, only to find that their silver platter has been pillaged. Food, however, lost all value when I spotted Bill Cunningham in his signature blue windbreaker, darting rapidly around the room with his camera like a lone ranger. I positioned myself strategically and waited. Sure enough, my outfit was blessed with Mr. Cunningham’s approval in the form of a few camera flashes and I quietly checked off another achieved goal on the running list I keep in my mind.

The first celebrity I spotted was Cassie—immediately recognizable by her half-shaved head, which on one side makes her look like a glamorous goddess and on the other, like a Thai lady-boy. I assumed from the star shape etched into Cassie’s bald side that she was she was celebrating the celestial occasion in her own special way.

Shortly after, Whitney Port arrived. Almost immediately, a steady stream of strangers approached Whitney—all wanting a piece of the reality star. I was guilty of this as well—but at least I was fabulously dressed, so it was excusable in my mind. I went up to the delightful Ms. Port, who’s bubbly and beautiful in person. I asked if she ever had dreams of being an astronaut while growing up.
“You know, I think everyone somehow thinks in one way or another that being an astronaut is so whimsical and amazing, but I don’t know, after fourth grade, learning about the whole solar system and doing a report on Venus, I was fine just settling with that.”
I couldn’t bait her on what she’d do if she were locked in a space shuttle with her City
co-star, Olivia Palermo. “I’d make it work,” she said. “I’m not like that; I’m not territorial.”

The most interesting interaction that night I had observed was not Buzz with the president of Louis Vuitton North America on the grand staircase, but rather between Whitney and Jessica Szhor (Gossip Girl) when the latter had arrived. Despite having ostensibly never met before, Jessica made her way over to Whitney and introduced herself. It made me wonder whether the famous share some sort of supernatural bond with one another.
Jessica was wearing Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 shoes—the ones with the sky-high crazy heel that looks like an hourglass—and that, come to think of it, wouldn’t look out of place as moon shoes. I posed the same question to her.
“I think I was always a little bit too scared of what would happen, but I think it would be amazing to go to the moon and that’s the one place I’d want to go to that’s crazy and far away because people have made it back.”
“If you could go to the moon, who would you take with you?” I asked her. “My mamacita!” she cooed.

Terry Richardson Shoots the Gossip Girls for Rolling Stone And All They’re Worried About Is the Prop Hotdog!?!

Oh Terry, what we must do to make a buck. The posterboy of hipster sleaze and debauchery was forced to make some capital by photographing the oh so boring girls of that show that was really, really good for a while, but is no becoming redundant and not offering much in the way of story line or character development, Gossip Girl.
I actually do still love the show, but was totally disappointed by the last episode. Really? The Age of Innocence? Really? You couldn’t tell the uber gay director was gay Serena? Really? Dan’s still being on the show?!?
Anyway, back to Terry. His edge is off. He’s using big, pretty expensive camera’s now and I miss the old stuff, the gritty stuff, the stuff that didn’t look and feel like everyone else. I get that he’s now this brand, but stop with the diffusion lines and get back to the art (aka, have some real fun and actually make these girls do something with that hot dog). Basically, I feel let down Terry. I’m always rooting for you, but now I’m just hoping for a comeback.
(P.S. NO ONES READ ROLLING STONE SINCE THE 80’s YOU SUCK UPS!!!)

Before They Had Stylists: Jessica Szohr
This Gossip Girl is a natural beauty, but her killer style was something learned. Every time she has hit the red carpet lately, I’ve been wondering who’s been putting Szohr’s looks together. Whoever it is, they are doing an amazing job; she quickly turning into one of today’s most popular style stars.
Fashion Indie’s Top 25 Best Dressed Indies
Vanity Fair released their list. Here is ours!
Top 25 best dressed:

Tavi, the 12- year-old blogger, always takes a dose of fashion daily. Starting at young age, it’s clear fashion is in her roots. Embracing her style, the blogger takes a picture daily for all to see her stardom.

Walking off the Gossip Girl set Blake Lively never steps out of her fashion forward character. The actress is always looking trendy and perfectly put together.

Camilla Belle never fails to strut her success with the perfect outfit. Camilla always accessorizes perfectly for her unique outfits.

Taking after her mother, Lourdes Leon never fails to make a statement. It’s clear Lourdes is just one step away from becoming the daring icon, who’s footsteps she follows.

Zoe Kravitz never fails to impress us with her fashion choices. She’s a gal who certainly knows how to accessorize while choosing bright colors to make a statement.

Demi Lovato emerges into fame the right way with fashion at the forefront. Demi always looks dressed to impress with the latest trends, while bringing her personal style to the table.

Katy Perry’s fame hit us from the blindspot, but we’re not complaining. We like a girl who isn’t afraid of expression; Katy’s always been a girl who speaks, or sings, her mind; her fashion choices reflect this as well.

Joe Jonas takes no backseat to fashion. The trendsetter is always looking on his game in ties, jackets, and our favorite hats!

Our man Kingston Stefani always has his fashion cap on. Kingston doesn’t need Gwen! He’s been a trendsetter since day one.

Suri Cruise, the emergin fashionista herself, is always looking ready to strut in her adorable dresses and skirts. I don’t think this gal has ever repeated an outfit!

Bijou Phillips doesn’t just look style ready in her ad campaigns. The supermodel’s always in character with elegant skirts, coats, and our favorite chic dresses.

Emergin teen actress Selena Gomez hits the scene with the perfectly trendy outfits. We love that this girl knows how to dress her age while still keeping her unique sense of style in mind.

Emma Watson has shed her Harry Potter gettup nowadays and she’s ready to hit the streets as an icon for current fashions. We think she’s doing a good job! Keep the cute dresses coming.

Though Mary-Kate Olsen is often judged for her “out-there” fashion choices, we like that she knows how to make an entrance. She’s not afraid of her style and she certainly knows how to put together an outfit.

Jessica Szohr may look simple, but she always looks trendy. The actress is always camera ready with her fashion foot forward.

Taking after his father, Jaden Smith never fails to impress. When the 10-year-old enters a room all eyes are on him because he’s the trendsetter.

Known for being self-induldged and overly confident teen on Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick has style with a voice. Talks of Ed’s own clothing line are emerging, and if it features his own style, we can’t wait!

15-year-old Taylor Momsen has stepped into the limelight lately, and she’s done so with the right idea. Known as “Jennie” on Gossip Girl, Taylor’s always looking fabulous in the perfect variety of dresses that never ends.

Starring in Weeds, Hunter Parrish doesn’t ever forget where the cameras are. Hunter’s always looking great in suits, jackets, and colors that work wonders.

Coming close to the release of her new movie, Alexis Bledel is looking better than ever! The actress has been seen in a vartiety of elegant dresses looking red-carpet ready constantly.

Being Leo Dicaprio’s girlfriend certainly has its perks. Now, not only does the supermodel have the camera on her during shoots, she has the camera on her nearly all the time. Bar Rafaeli keeps her style alive as she pursues a unique spin on popular trends that always turns out on a positive note.

Becki Newton certainly knows how to accessorize. The actress loves her dresses and numerous styles of shoes, which she brings to the red carpet in confidence.

Keira Knightley knows what it’s like to be famous on two fronts. Keira’s not only known for her acting talents, but she’s a fashionista in her own right. Keira loves her elaborate dresses, and so do we! She’s always in iconic character.

Designer’s daughter on Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester certainly follows up her character’s fashion choices in real life. Leighton always picks the right ensemble. Whether its pencil skirts with heels or chic dresses with the perfect handbag, Leighton never fails to impress
Top 15 Worst Dressed:

“Do, Do You Got A First Aid Kit,” for her face! This Danity Kane singer is always wearing to much makeup and not enough clothes. Aubrey O’Day used to look good, but she has really been a tranny mess of late.

Amy Winehouse used to be such a cute innocent girl from England. She used to dress well, and fairly conservative too. Now she is a cracked out drug and alcohol abuser who spends more time “powdering her nose” than getting dressed (if she event puts clothes on).

She started out as a “Heroine Chic” hipster forerunner. Now Cory Kennedy is just a heroine user who just blends in with all the Williamsburg hipsters. She has become surprisingly unoriginal, and could seriously use a shower.

I can’t stand the fact that Rihanna is tricking the impressionable minds of the American youth that leather leggings are fashionable. We give her props for trying to support smaller indie designers, but when you look like that you’re almost giving them a bad rep. Let us not forget that week span where she was photographed wearing the same outfit everyday.

What did we really expect from the offspring of a professional wrestler and 2008’s cougar of the year. I think it is safe to say Brooke Hogan doesn’t know best.

Kim Kardashian has really lived up to her sex tape making reputation by continuing her slutty appearance off camera. You know your dad always says how you may give the wrong impression to guys with the way you dress? Well this is what he was talking about.

There is someting ironic about dressing like a tough rocker and then proceeding to threaten transexuals like Trace Cyrus does. If you were ever confused on what an “emo” kid looks like, well here is your answer. I personally have never had problems with tattoos, but facial piercings are a totally different story.

I thought we were over the guy liner and flat ironing our hair phase, but Pete Wentz just won’t let it go. Not that I don’t occasionally enjoy wearing a comfortable hooded sweatshirt. But when thats all you wear and you always have the hood up, it gets old fast. Lucky for him his wife isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, or she might force him to change his look for once.

Is it bad that “Little Miss Sunshine” makes me want to puke every time I see her? Yes, she may be twelve but regardless Abigail Breslin dresses like crap. We live in a decade where twelve year old girls are supposed to look eighteen, and well it’s no fun when you actually look twelve. Can someone say stylist?

When you are following in the footsteps of Cory Kennedy (who is already on this list), what did you expect? You are a wannbe hipster who spends your C-list celebrity paycheck on coke and alcohol. Oh and the OC wasn’t even that good! Guess this is what happens when you have to go back to shopping at Urban Outfitters because your career is over.

This Canadian punk wannabe, Avril Lavigne, should be deported immediately. The pink, black and white color scheme was done years ago, right along with pink streaks in your hair. You tour is doing terrible and so is your stylist.

Sam looks decent for a guy, but still not even that good. We are over the whole fedora and high top sneakers everyday. I would pay to see her in a dress, but I guess one of them had to be the man of the relationship, and it seems like Lindsay wouldn’t give in.

Since her boy toy Spencer came out and said how he gets paid to go places and gets all this free stuff, we can’t help but think that the disgusting clothes Heidi wears were free. Heidi is exactly what fashion shouldn’t be. Her style is terrible and as fake as her chest…and nose…and hair color…and reality show!

Well Tila Tequila does dress right for the job of being the biggest MySpace whore of all time. She is the only one with bad enough style that both guys and girls don’t want to date her.

This self proclaimed “trendsetter” couldn’t be any further from that in my eyes. When you show up to red carpet events in graduation gowns and turbans claiming to be fashionable you know you have a problem. You know you aren’t looking so good when every other poorly dressed person on this list is complimenting you, and every one on the best dressed list is laughing at you from a distance. I will say his best accessory is his little “mushroom cut” rocking friend Anna Wintour, but only because it dumbs down his awfulness. Fashion should be different and outlandish at the time, but practical at the same time. Andre doesn’t have that.
