Publicity Stunt’n

Although this sequined Proenza Schouler tee that  Gwyneth Paltrow wore on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar  is not a dress, shockingly all these other looks are. Although they have a striking resemblance to a t-shirt, the people have spoken and they say it’s a DRESS!

Rachel Bilson dressed down, and Kristin Cavallari dress up this Riller and Fount t-shirt dress dress.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen each rocked a t-shirt dress with matching Christian Louboutin patent leather heels. While Ashley (left) is representing summer, Mary-Kate slides this look into Fall, by wearing black tights under her dress. In addition to tights for Fall, you can always rock the t-shirt dress with your favorite pair of skinny jeans.

Beyonce will grace the cover of Marie Claire Uk for their October issue. She looks Amaaaa-zing on this cover. She needs to hire whoever styled her, because I haven’t seen B look this chic in quite a while.

Here is what the star had to say about who the song ‘Irresistible’ is about.
“he obvious person is not the person at all. (duh!)

On being a pop star:
“There is a time limit on being a pop star yes, being a legend, an icon, absolutely not. I’m over being a popstar, I don’t wana be a hot girl I wana be iconic. (I heard that B!) There are responsibilities that come along with this life…trying to have a romantic meal without someone sneaking in to film the whole thing. I have to work really hard and it’s fine because I like it, I love it, but it’s a lot of sacrifice.”

On being a role model:
“I think I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me.”

On Barack Obama
“I’m really proud, I think we’re making a bit of progress, it’s an exciting time. We all feel part of our country now.”  (damn skippy!)

I can’t wait to read more!

How cute is baby Nahla. Halle took her baby girl to the zoo, and photogs jumped at the chance to get the first pictures of her daughter. Halle is among the elite group of Hollywood stars that have not pimped out their baby’s pictures out to tabloid magazines for dough . Although I commend her for not selling Nahla’s pics, I am really excited that we finally got to see her beautiful baby.

At first glance it appears that Maria Sharapova decided to take a chance with a tube dress, and throw on a random black puff sleeve. But as I take a closer look I see this outfit is much worse than I had first anticipated, the sleeve is actually attached to the dress. It’s held together by some sort of nude sheer material, kind of like what ice skaters costumes are made with. Why would someone want to wear an ice skater inspired dress on the red carpet?…and  don’t let me start on those high end porn star shoes. It’s just horrific.

Nail down the fuzzy toilet seat cover, because nothing in Paula Abdul’s house is safe when it comes to her fashion. Clearly she snatched down some beads off the chandelier and wrapped it around her neck. And looking at the  bottom of the dress, I think it’s safe to say that there are no more bed skirts left in her house. So sad.

Aubrey O’Why showed up to the premiere of Traitor looking like…well her usual self. How appropriate that she would come to the Traitor premiere, considering she herself is a traitor style, a traitor to class, oh and a traitor to talent.

Rap and reality show star, Da Brat was sentenced to 3 years in prison for hitting and slashing a women in the face with a bottle of rum last year in a night club owned by friend and mentor Jermaine Dupri.  After getting into an argument with a waitress, Da Brat picked up a bottle of rum and smashed it into the face of the waitress, who was taken to the hospital and suffered permanent scaring to her face

If you ask me, Da Brat got off easy. Isn’t sticking some one with a bottle, assault with a deadly weapon? That’s just despicable. I hope the victim comes at her with a couple of civil suits, Lets see how much Da Brat likes hitting, when she gets hit in her pockets.

The word on the street is that despite her disastrous performance at last years VMAs, Britney will dust herself off and try again. I don’t even know what to think of this. On one hand, I would love for Britney to come back and smash her performance, and have the come back she needs. However, if she bombs that will just be the saddest end to her little story. There will be no coming back from it, especially since now she’s supposedly gotten her wits about her.  Everyone’s expecting/hoping to see more than a few glimpses of the old Britney…Ok now I’m getting nervous, my stomach is flipping as I type. Whose idea was this? Is she ready? Oh Lord, somebody smack me….Ah that’s better.

I’m thinking this time around she has enough people around, who actually give a shit about her and won’t allow her to make a complete ass out of herself. Here’s hoping for the return of our pop star.

Gwen Stefani gave birth to her second baby boy with hubby Gavin Rossdale, who they named Zuma Nesta Rock. Nesta was the middle name of reggae legend Bob Marley. Their first son also happens to be named after the birth place of Marley, Kingston . Coincidence I think not, I think we have some futboyure Reggae on the River attendees on our hands. Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side!

Ellen and Portia De Rossi both wearing Zac Posen, tied the knot Saturday night in front of a small group of family and friends. The couple who has been together for four years,  shouted out, “Amazing,” and “Married.” when photographers asked them about their marriage. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

I really don’t know what goes through the minds of these celebrities. What posses them to wear such monstrosities in public, I can understand private, but public? NO! Is it the need for attention? Are they playing a practical joke on themselves? Or is it just plain old bad style?

Take Ashanti here. She looks Minnie Mouse’s slutty cousin Trampie Mouse. I can’t say WHY enough. But I will, WHY would you do that to yourself?

And here we have Miss Raven-Symoné, who looks like she was rummaging through a garage sale, at the home of a hooker from the 1980’s. But, seriously looking at this outfit I can’t even say anything mean about her, I just feel sorry for her. I think we need to take a moment of silence for her “outfit”.

We all heard the sad news of the passing of comedian and actor Bernie Mac this past Saturday. Mac had been hospitalized for pneumonia, a rep for the star released a statement last week that Mac was responding well to treatments, and denied that Mac chronic sarcoidosis(rare autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, lungs, heart, brain and nervous system, eyes, and other organs) was a factor. People magazine revealed that Mac was indeed in much worse condition than his rep let on. Apparently, he was in ICU for much longer than actually reported, and had contracted a second strain of pneumonia while hospitalized. Although Mac’s sarcoidosis condition was not the immediate cause of his death, the condition greatly affected his immune system.

My prayers and sincere well wishes go out to his family.
