Madonna’s Record’s Record Drop, There but for the Grace of Kelly Goes Kidman and the Wedding Gifts That Keep on Giving

- American Apparel CEO/noted scumbag Dov Charney doesn’t think that he’s “inappropriate at all” and that all those lawsuits are just “a testimony to [his] success.” His success at being completely unaware of his own inappropriateness. [Styleite]

- Thank you for tweeting a friend. Betty White has joined Twitter! [Twitter]

- Madonna has set yet another Billboard record…this time for the biggest second week drop in chart history. Madge hasn’t seen a fall like that since she bent over to look at her face in the mirror. [Paper]

- Let it be fierce, Daphne Guinness. The heiress cum style icon tweeted that she was recording at Abbey Road, leading to speculation that she may be coming out with an album. [Elle]

- Nicole Kidman is in talks to play Grace Kelly in new biopic, Grace of Monaco by Olivier Dahan, the guy who directed Marion Cotillard to her Oscar for La Vie en Rose. While the Academy warms up its trophy-throwing arm, Nikki Kids can warm up her face to start moving again. [Vogue UK]

- Marc Fisher, the CEO of Guess‘ footwear licensee grew so frustrated at the barrage of questions from Gucci‘s lawyer over the similarities between the shaded patterns over the two brand’s shoes he reportedly said, “I don’t understand why we’re spending 45 minutes discussing shading.” Ease up, Fisher. Gucci’s not being shady…just fierce. [WWD, sub req'd]

- Vogue may be taking a trip to Southeast Asia and this time it’s not to source tranny child brides. Rumor has it Vogue Thailand is happening. [The Cut]

- Kim Kardashian sent out printed cards to guests of her over-the-top wedding informing them that their gifts will be donated to charity, prompting one disgruntled guest to ask, “What is a charity going to do with a Tiffany picture frame or an onyx vase? And, this is nine months after the wedding. Why is she doing it now?” Clearly because she’s getting ready to assault us with another whirlwind fauxmance. [NY Post]

The Fashion Behind ‘The Artist’

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:00:52 +0000

They’re sweeping up at the award shows and stealing everyone’s hearts, and the cast of The Artist is shining under a spotlight that grows brighter each day. But behind the Oscar nod for Best Picture (among many other nominations it has received) is that killer fashion from the 1920s — flapper, avant garde, art deco glam. And The Artist isn’t alone – think about how Midnight in Paris, Boardwalk Empire and soon enough The Great Gatsby are full of 1920s fashion glam. Here are a few ways to channel it.

Mila Kunis Dances Her Way into the New Miss Dior Ads

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:00:50 +0000

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from one of 2011′s favorite ladies, Mila Kunis. Kunis joins her Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman in j’adoring Dior in her latest role as the new face of Miss Dior handbags.

Shot by Mikael Jansson, the 28-year-old actress gives another star turn in the spring ad campaign while bearing a striking resemblance to fellow Dior bag lady, Marion Cotillard. While Kunis claims she’s mostly a jeans and T-shirt kinda gal, she loves to feel feminine on the red carpet and with awards season gearing up, we can no doubt expect to see her in some Dior finery. Which is a shame. But let’s just hope she at least goes for the archival finery. [WWD]

Marion Cotillard Stars in “L.A.dy Dior” by John Cameron Mitchell

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:58:47 +0000

Dior turned to director and purveyor of the angry inch John Cameron Mitchell to inject the staid fashion film formula with some much-needed schtick for its latest short, L.A.dy Dior. Marion Cotillard does what she does best — cry and act hysterical, but this time sans the gravitas — as a tortured actress named Margaux on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Pulled this way and that for a photoshoot by her overbearing manager, a gossipy makeup artist, a lascivious photographer and a fabulously turbaned stylist, Margaux finally loses her composure and throws both caution and a Dior handbag to the wind. Best line, courtesy of that queen cosmetician:

“You know what this reminds me of, Demy? Remember? The Academy Awards! Oh my gosh, Margaux, you won’t believe this. I went in to put the eyeliner on Ms. You-Know-Who. Her glass eye pops out onto the makeup table. I’m totally serious. Rolls around in the dust, she picks it up, wets it in her mouth, pops it back in. Goes on to win the award. Doesn’t even hold a candle to You-Know-Who at the Emmys.”

See — schtick. Check out the film for a little ladylike afternoon delight.

Kate Moss Named The Best Dressed Woman of the Decade

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:23:58 +0000

The oughties were quite a decade for Kate Moss, full of coked-up highs and coked-up lows, but through it all she looked impeccable. And it is that resilience and relentless style that led Vogue to crown her the “Best Dressed of the Decade”.

Let’s take a look, shall we, at some of the Super’s greatest hits:

Going Grecian with Stella McCartney in Stella McCartney

Bombshell in Balmain

Letting the fur fly

A sequined jumpsuit and a fur, also known as my “around the house look”

Call her mellow yellow

Lamé and loving it in Marc Jacobs with Marc Jacobs

The rest of Vogue‘s list reads like a who’s who of couture:

The Bombshell: Blake Lively

Screen Siren: Marion Cotillard

The Independent: Michelle Obama

American Beauty: Jessica Biel (I don’t really get this one since she’s not really known for wearing clothes)

Street Cool: Alexa Chung

Haute Bohemian: Sarah Jessica Parker

Conscious Chic: Liya Kebede

Free Spirit: Carey Mulligan

New Classicist: Shala Monroque (the Editor-in-Chief of Pop…I had to look her up too)

The Visionary: Lady Gaga

What do you think of Vogue‘s list? I would say it’s pretty accurate, though I wouldn’t mind swapping out Jessica Biel for Freida Pinto or maybe Zoe Saldana.

Glee Recap Episode 2.7: When It Rains, It Paltrows

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 17:43:51 +0000

“The Substitute” gave us a pretty horrible plotline but also gave us a reason to finally like Gwyneth Paltrow and some of Sue Sylvester‘s best one-liners to date. Case in point: “Sometimes you gotta give the inmates what they want. You throw ‘em a comb and hope they stop beating each other long enough to whittle it into a shiv.”

The Monkey flu, from Borneo where, according to Sue, it had been “festering in a small clutch of loud bisexual primates, not unlike [Schue's] very glee club,” has taken Principal Figgins out of commission, leaving Sue interim principal.

Once Mr. Schue too falls victim to the flu, he has to call in sick, leaving the glee club unattended. Enter Holly Holliday (Paltrow), a quirky substitute teacher Kurt fondly remembers singing (one of my all-time favorite songs) Schoolhouse Rock’s “Conjunction Junction,” while subbing for an English class.

She eagerly takes on the task but the club is initially wary of her presence. However she shows a willingness to incorporate more current songs in their repertoire, as opposed to wanting to only do Journey songs as the student’s descriptions of Mr. Schue’s musical tastes suggests, by performing a sassy rendition of Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You,” cleaned up to a primetime friendly “Forget You.”

Will’s much-hated wife, Terri, returns to take care of him while he suffers from the flu. She brings him his favorite movie, Singing’ in the Rain which prompts a fever-induced fantasy of he and Mike Chang performing the acrobatic classic “Make ‘Em Laugh.” Lulled into a false sense of security, and feeling lonely after things fell through with Emma Pillsbury, they have sick sex – just below hate sex, break-up sex and revenge sex on the ‘Acceptable Sex with an Ex’ totem pole – which Will immediately regrets.

Sue, mad with power, tries to disband the football team, but is thwarted once Coach Beiste presents a plausible argument that Sue’s Cheerios would then have no one to cheer for. So in order to gain some respect, and to strike fear into the hearts of any one who would dare oppose her, Sue adopts another cause: teen obesity, banning tater tots from the school cafeteria. This decision really taters Mercedes tots, leading her to pull a Norma Rae on a cafeteria table.

But are the tots the real reason behind her anger? Kurt and his platonic gay friend Blaine have been seeing a lot more of each other, leaving a void in her life for Kurt’s affections. After joining Kurt and Blaine on a date, she feels even more isolated when they fag out over Prop 8, Patti Lupone’s new book (which I have yet to read), the year’s best Vogue cover (Marion Cotillard?…a pretty shallow bag to choose from, but what are they teaching in that fictional school?; try Giselse, kids).

Mercedes at one point imagines a tiny purse literally falling out of Kurt’s mouth. Thus Mercedes must learn to face what every hag dreads – being pushed to the wayside once their fag finds someone else to obsess over. Meanwhile, Kurt is still being harassed by Karovsky who threatens to kill Kurt should he tell anyone about their kiss. Ah, teenage romance.

Holly has won over everyone in New Directions, everyone except Rachel Berry, who does not care for her teaching methods. But Holly indulges her desire to do “an upbeat, glamorous number with a good dance beat,” with a game duet of “Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag” from Chicago. Sue becomes the permanent principal at William McKinley High and her first order of duty is to fire Will, citing the substitute’s success with the glee kids.

The tides soon change for Holliday, though, when her reckless attitude lands her in hot trouble after she fails to punish Mercedes for stuffing Sue’s tailpipe of her Le Car, a car so rare that only seven have been made, full of tots (girl does have a history of vandalizing cars). Holly has no idea how to react when things turn serious and so turns to Will for guidance. Just then Terri finds them and has a blow up, only to have Will tell her to never come back again.I’ve yet to encounter anyone who likes the character of Will’s ex-wife and it seems the writers are really trying to get rid of her for good. I don’t dislike her, she’s just a one note character – an unabashed bitch who lacks Sue’s wit or cartoonish villainy.

Kurt eventually confronts Mercedes, flaunting his budding romance in her face and telling her she needs to find a boyfriend and stop filling the void for love with food. Kurt had, to his credit, tried to set her up earlier with hunky football player Anthony (“one of the five black guys in school”). This is the second storyline involving Mercedes and food, and unlike last season’s empowering “Home,” which actually had something to say about eating disorders and body image, this week’s plot felt more like an insult to the talented Amber Riley. Big girl fears losing gay friend, eats her emotions, rebels in a ridiculous way.

You’re better than that, Glee. Constantly resigned to the background and occasionally given a solo, Mercedes is a character we still no little to nothing about. Hopefully, this Anthony will give her a role beyond sassy sidekick. And speaking of big girls, what was up with the Precious (Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire)-esque character that attacks Holliday in her flashback?

Anygay, Holliday resigns as director of New Directions, but not before she, the kids and Schue can perform a limp mash-up of “Umbrella/Singin’ in the Rain.” Perhaps a good idea on paper, the number lacked the spark and energy of previous group numbers and mash-ups (see last week’s: “Start Me Up/Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your Mind.”

Now I’d never thought I’d say this, at least not without a gun to my head, by Gwyneth Paltrow was definitely a highlight of last night’s episode. She showed off her comedic chops (dressing up as Mary Todd Lincoln for a history lesson she exclaims, “My husband is probably gay” and “That teapot is spreading lies about me!”), she has a nice voice and can shimmy for a white girl. But her role seemed more an act of stunt casting than anything intricate to the myriad plotlines that continually seem to fall to the wayside as the season progresses.

At least we’ve seen the end of the Terri Schuester, for now, though I feel bad for poor Jessalyn Gilsig who does the best she can with a character that’s really plain awful.

Next week, get ready kids. Comedic legend Carol Burnett will guest star as Sue’s mom, which means the world will explode from hilarity.

Marion Cotillard Gets No Photoshop for Vanity Fair

I know people stress the need for less photoshop, but when you see a star like Marion Cotillard looking tired and haggard on the cover of Vanity Fair you start to wish they did a few touch ups.

Interview Needs An Infusion Of Inspiration

The Fashion Web — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:46:46 +0000

Clearly, Interview magazine has a bit of a creative issue. The editors seem to be in a slump with their designs because, as the ladies at Fashionista pointed out, more than a few of their recent covers are beyond similar. Instead of switching up their look month to month, the glossy has instead been opting for close-up, black-and-white shots for their covers. In the past two years, four issues from 2010 (those featuring Marion Cotillard, Megan Fox, Madonna, and Carey Mulligan) have been shot this way, as well as SIX covers from 2009! What’s the deal, Interview? What would (founder) Andy Warhol say? Fashionista

Red Carpet Rundown: The SAG Awards

Top 5 Best Dressed:

#5. Kate Hudson in a phenomenal backless Pucci gown. The Cartier back-drop necklace is the icing on the cake!

#4. Nicole Kidman is reminiscent a Morroccan holiday in her beaded Oscar de la Renta. The Fred Leighton bangles are perfection!

#3. Drew Berrymore in a stunning sapphire Monique Lhuillier… although we’re not to sure what happened to her hair…

#2. Diane Kruger channels MObama in Jason Wu. We don’t think Diane is capable of not looking good. Lucky.

#1. Miss Marion Cotillard in Elie Saab Haute Couture. We don’t care if Andre Leon Talley compared you to a rejected Laduree macaroon, we think you stole the show. Now when you’re done with that dress, we’d like to borrow it…

The Ones who REALLY Missed it…

#3. Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We know you’re wearing D&G but you must not be one of their A-list clients because you wouldn’t have ended up with such a badly made dress if you were. Those horizontal strips of cheap-looking tulle are doing nothing for your midsection, and that drop-skirt hem?!?! GIRLLL.

#2. Julie Bowen in god knows what. There is really NOTHING flattering about this dress. It looks as if the designer ran out of white fabric to finish the dress, so he just had to make do with the black! She looks like a chessboard gone wrong.

#1. Sophia Loren in Armani Prive. So bad I don’t even have words.

THE TEN: Worst Dressed Celebs at the Golden Globes

Rebecca Alexander — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:42:56 +0000

Fashion people love award shows, gives us something to gaga over/make fun of. Here is our list of the ten worst dressed celebs at last nights Golden Globes.

1. Mariah Carey in Herve Leger by Max Azria

What a mess! How many people did it require to get her to fit into this dress?

2. Jennifer Aniston in Valentino couture

Jennifer needs to do something different to her hair, and wear something other than black with a slit!

3. Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano

Way too many shades of red, with the hair, lips and dress…the ruffles add weight to her body and the boobs are so distracting and in your face!

4. Anna Paquin in Stella McCartney

Maybe it’s because I just don’t like her, but this full sequin dress is very overwhelming on her little frame.

5. Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent

An overall boring look, I expected more from her!

6. Mo’Nique in Reem Acra

Not loving the gold, or the way it fit her, seemed really tight on top!

7. Julia Roberts in Yves Saint Laurent

I’m not a fan of short dresses on the red carpet, along with how boring the cut of this dress was, mixed with the overwhelming jewels, the entire look was just badly styled.

8. Courtney Cox in Victoria Beckham

A bit too safe as well, I always expect celebs to go all out when they are nominated for an award…

9. Heidi Klum in Roberto Cavalli

I always look forward to seeing Heidi, this time I’m disappointed, really don’t like the hair, color, or fit of this dress, looks like a last min choice…

10. Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior

Not sure why I don’t like this look, but the peek a boo slip is really bothering me.

Bonus: What the F*** is Cher wearing???

These Marion Cotillard advertisements for Lady Dior (above – old, I know!) are here to stay but models and traditional advertising are gone. Fall 2009′s seasonal ads have been replaced with “star power” that is supposed to “give more meaning” and will more successfully “represent the values of a company”.

Considering all her recent topless, beer belly shots its amazing that Kate Moss was able to vomit up enough cocaine boogers to squeeze into this gold thingy. Seriously though, have you seen her naked lately, it’s like she went from model to mom. I hate to say I miss Pete Doherty, but at least he kept the girl thin.

Sidenote to Marc. Dating a hot Brazilian hombre does not make you a hot Brazilian hombre by association. One more shade of brown and you’ll just about burn the jew out of you and well officially start calling you Valentino Jr.

I only enjoy looking at Anna Wintour when she’s standing next to her hot step-daughter Bee. This editor seriously needs to consider a new look cause she’s getting grannylicious on us. You were the shit in 2007, now you’re just shit. Get something done immediately cause your magazine is just bleeding ink right now and there’s nothing exciting about it. Just a thought from one editor to another.

P.S. Can we get more tits in American Vogue? Paris Vogue is getting way to expensive on the monthly.

Dear Jessica Biel,

Justin looks like a total douche. Please call me.917-450-5238.

Wait, was this year’s theme “Bridge and Tunnel” or “Jersey”? It’s so hard to tell.

In Malowi wearing Playboy bunny ears above the age of 30 is equivalent to assassinating the president. Just thought you should know.

WARNING: Getting slapped around by your man will turn you butch. Spread the word.

HOLY FUCK, Fran Dresher still gets invited to SHIT!!!

KKK robes are SOOO much more stylish nowadays.

Brillo Pad + Sheet Metal + Helena Bonhan Carter = Mary-Kate Olsen

HOLY FUCK, Kirsten Dunst still gets invited to SHIT!!!

Last week I was walking my dog Foxy and she spit from her ass a giant, steaming pile of what Tyra Banks has on her head.

Ivanka Tafetta Trump.

Andre Leon Tally looks like he’s part of some super secret society like The Skulls or that one from Eyes Wide Shut Gossip Girl expect instead of accepting members based on their status and cool, they only accept fat asses who wear muumuu’s to cover up their jelly rolls.

SIDENOTE: How many desperate gay interns to you think fit under that thing?

Nothing says “NOTICE ME” better than wearing a wedding dress to the gala.

Great job Elizabeth Hurley on not seeming at all desperate.

SIDENOTE: How many desperate pr interns do you think fit under that thing?

Straw hat and drawstring dress pants?!? Yup, the theme was definitely “Jersey”.

Marion Cotillard, a French actress who made history by becoming the first to win an Academy Award for the French cinema, as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose, is the new face of Lady Dior. Look out for the first campaign image featuring Cotillard later this year. Among other famous women who have carried the Lady Dior in advertising are Monica Bellucci, Diane Kruger and Carla Bruni, now the First Lady of France.
