Winona Ryder Under Investigation for Missing Jewelry

Uh oh… Winona Ryder is under investigation after claiming she ‘lost’ a Bulgari bracelet and ring worth over $125,000.

Ryder, who was convicted of shoplifting in 2002, wore the jewelry to the Marie Claire party Prix De La Mode 2008 Awards at the French Embassy in Madrid. She said she gave the pieces to a hotel employee for safekeeping. And, yes, this was the party she was on her way to when she OD’d on Xanax on a flight.

Get your act together, Winona; it’s not looking good lately!

Indies to Watch: Kendra Spears

Kendra Spears for Ford Models contest.

Like any sane person, I deleted my Myspace account once I realized that I wasted at least four hours each day changing my layout design, took pathetic photos specifically for new Myspace defaults and stalked my ex-boyfriend to see who he was macking on that week. Now granted, I’ve been Myspace sober for over three years (thanks to Facebook. damnit) but Kendra Spears, the new face all over the runways, owes her whole aspiring career to Myspace. 

Say sayonara to the typical college co-ed and hello to the winner of Ford Models’ Myspace.com contest! So she didn’t win the $100,000 contract with Ford Models, but who can complain walking for Gucci, Hermès, and Valentino in Paris and Milan? Recently the 20 year old Portland State University student has been working on shoots for Dazed and Confused, Italian Marie Claire and an upcoming BCBG ad campaign. 

Anyone else wondering why Kendra Spears didn’t wind up in New York Fashion Week last month? Well, according to bookers, they aren’t too keen on Spears’ Cindy Crawford lip mole. Well too bad for us here in the States, it looks like European bookers know a pretty face, mole or no mole, when they see one! 

Thanks NY Mag!

Kate Takes On Ms. Vivienne Westwood

Rumor has it there’s a new movie in the works! Production is underway about the life of Vivienne Westwood. Who will play the star-studded designer? None other then Kate Winslet! According to British Marie Claire, the designer’s managing director made a few comments about the upcoming film to guests at Vivienne’s show.

“Kate Winslet will play Vivienne from the 70s to present day.”

Though no one has quite caught the film in action or behind the scenes, it seems as though it’s pretty definite. Universal has been rumored to be picking up the film, but there was no confirmation on part of either party (Universal or Winslet).

Thanks NYMag!

Be Like Nina!

Us Weekly took the time to ask former Elle editor and almost-current Marie Claire editor Nina Garcia how she stays stylish 24/7. Here’s a hint it has to do with all the expensive jewelry her husband bought her….Oh and just remember this simple fashion equation: converse + aviator sunglasses=instant cool factor

Unless Nina’s scowling at a PR contestant and giving them the fashion glare of death, I don’t really care.
