Prince: Krazy B


Super sane, Prince appeared on the super popular Tavis Smiley show last night. He touched on some hard hitting issues like, the role of prophecy in government, chemtrails, why he never votes, and epilepsy. Don't you think he's gotten too serious? What happened to the motorcycle riding, fun loving guy I used to know?? He's got MJ syndrome, just ask Kevin Smith

Louis Vuitton Sued for Fraud!


At a boutique set up inside the 2007-08 Takashi Murakami exhibit at LAMOCA, up to $4-million in "limited edition prints" were sold. It turns out however, that what the buyers were actually getting, were factory leftovers from handbag production. Oops! Buyer Clint Arthur is so peeved that he has filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Dean of Parsons: Will the Real Thakoon Please Stand Up?


It seems like everyday a new designer announces a diffusion line with an affordable retailer like Payless, H&M or Target, and with all these lower price point pieces running around, it got the Wall Street Journal thinking; how big is the difference and how easy is it to tell the real Thakoon from the Bergdorf's Thakoon for Target? The Journal recruited two experts— Simon Collins, dean of fashion at Parsons the New School for Design, and Randi Rahm, a designer based in Manhattan — to help them find the answer. Mixing a $1,145 dress with some pieces (all under $100) from the Thaikoon for Target line, the experts were asked to identify the expensive one. While Rahm was able to tell the difference, Dean Collins was not. Maybe he should sit in on a garment construction class this week.

McDowner!


A couple in eastern Arizona was attacked by a pair of McDonald's golden arches! While parked outside the restaurant in their Chevy Trailblazer, snowbirds Russell and Carolyn Janke, on their way back to their home in Chicago, became injured and trapped by the toppling sign. Thankfully, both survived the incident and will probably have free Big Macs for life.

Dead Horses :(

21 horses mysteriously dropped dead one-by-one at the U.S. Open polo match in Florida. Many horses reportedly had trouble breathing before being transported to the match location. As they stepped off their trailers, the horses began keeling over in front of the crowd. Suspects include: hay, water, vitamins, drugs, poison. I think it's god/ the plague.

Yay For Arizona!

Pulitzer Prizes were announced today and guess who came up with an underdog victory?! Proving that there is more in Mesa, Az. than just Mormons, the East Valley Tribune won a Pulitzer for its series on the evil Sherif Joe Arpaio. The paper is being awarded for its "adroit use of limited resources to reveal in print and online, how a popular sheriff's focus on immigration enforcement endangered investigation of violent crime and other aspects of public safety." Hooray! The NY TImes came out on top with 5 Pulitzers, while the The Las Vegas Sun, The Detroit Free Press, St. Petersburg Times and The San Diego Union-Tribune all came away with prizes. ConGrAtS!!

Important Thingz

1) In the worst news for her since the Fornarina disaster, LiLo has created a fake (?) eHarmony add to make fun of/promote herself, shamelessly.


2) Could Whit be leaving her post at DVF after being beat out by the evil Olivia for a promotion?! Rumor has it the star will be back at Peoples Revolution fr the next season of The City. It's ok, I'll take watching Ms. Cutrone's biting wit over the blah DVF staff any day.

3) Drew Barrymore's hair at the Grey Gardens premiere: take it or leave it?

4) Kanye's ad campaign for his Louis Vuitton sneaks drops (complete with bare bottom of girlfriend, Amber Rose).

5) Speaking of Grey Garden's, check out this gallery of sketches from the costume designer, as well as fashions from the real Beale family.

Sara Ziff Guides Us Through Modeling's Seedy Underbelly

Ex-model Sara Ziff debuted her tell-all documentary, Picture Me, at the Gen Art Film Festival in New York last week. The documentary, which addresses the ins and outs of the modeling industry, features interviews with Nicole Miller, Gilles Bensimon and many young models who have a lot on their minds. Basically, Picture Me tells us what we already know about the industry--the girls are too young, too thin, too overworked, and too rich/poor. Quick, someone call the wambulence.

Matthew Mcconaughey: You Can't Trust a Reptile


In an interview with Elle, the Mc daddy divulges the secret to winning the fight with a grizzly,

If you can catch eye contact with a mammal, you can buy yourself some time—because as another mammal, you can communicate. You can’t trust a reptile. But I have thought about how to win that fight with the grizzly.

I believe right as that grizzly gets to you, he’s going to rear up, open his paws, and come down on you. You’re going to have to shoot the gap, go in straight to the chest, and take your bowie knife to the gut and pull up through the rib cage. If it’s a death shot, that grizzly’s going to fall on you. The real trouble’s going to be getting out from under it.

If You Like Cats, and Muppets, and Humans That Look Like Muppets...

Or does Zac Effron need to chill on the eyebrows? It looks like two caterpillars crawling on his forehead, no?

Rachel Roy Diffuses Herself!

A far cry from her ethereal, sharp silhouetted fall 2009 collection, Rachel Roy is creating a diffusion line for Macy's, called Rachel-Rachel Roy. The collection, which Rachel is calling "the younger sister to the Rachel Roy collection," will be filled with brightly colored and patterned separates, and will, thankfully for us, hit that lower price point that we so thoroughly enjoy.

Marc Jacobs: A Good Friend to Have in Prison


In a recent interview with stylelist.com, Dancing with the Stars phenom, Lil' Kim discusses her close relationship with designer, Marc Jacobs. During her 10 month stint in prison for perjury, her bff "wrote her every week" and even created Marc Jacobs <3 Lil' Kim t-shirts to benefit a youth development organization. Looks like the rapper has finally expressed her gratitude in the form of artistic expression. "I decided to buy a coloring book — I'm a huge Bratz fan — and I painted the Bratz and made them all wear Marc Jacobs, and sent it to him. He blew it up and framed it, and now it's hanging in his house. So Marc Jacobs is the best." What I wouldn't give to have some Lil' Kim prison art of my own.

Swede Emotion


The Swedish sensation, Lykke Li has always seemed to have a utilitarian chic sense of fashion. From oversized blazers to her black-on-black stage look, it comes as no surprise that a house like ACNE would chose her as the face of their New Standard line. Inspiration for the line, says creative director Jonny Johansson, came from a woman he saw riding her bike in Tribeca who "effortlessly mix[ed] a formal suit jacket with sporty leggings and cycling shoes, she wore her heavy bike chain as well as a sober leather bag around her chest." Mixing form and function, you can find all the basics at ACNE, and all for under $400.

Here's What's Wrong With Your Outfit: Heidi Montag

Is it just me, or have Heidi's outfits gone from bad to wtf were you thinking? In this new segment, I will dissect celeb's outfits in order to pinpoint exactly where they went wrong.
'
1) I feel sorry for the cockatoo that gave its life for that bag.
2) Where is the rest of your shirt?! What is it with you and 1/2 sweaters?!
3) 1997 called, and they want their Tommy Hilfiger belt buckle back.
4) Q: Are you a waitress at Oregano's? A: No. THEN WHY WOULD YOU WEAR ROLLED UP JEAN SHORTS?!
5) PLATFORM SNEAKERS?! Are you kidding me.
6) Worst accessory possible: flesh colored beardfriend.

Separated at Birth?!



You decide.

Stars Sans Fards!


This months issue of French Elle will feature various celebrities who have agreed to appear sans fards (without make-up or retouching). The issue will finally prove that, no ladies, even without the help of make-up or photoshop, celebrities are still better looking than the rest of us.
Happy Saturday!

Kim Gordon: Loves T-Shirts, Hates (by Default) Christian Siriano


I first fell in love with Kim Gordon about ten years ago when I started listening to Sonic Youth. A couple years later I watched her flutter around stage, flailing her guitar and arms around, nearly lighting an amp on fire, yet somehow managing to make it all look cool. She had that je ne sais qua, that effortlessly chic look that I would spend most of high school trying to emulate. My little rock godess has now partnered with Urban Outfitters on a limited edition line called Mirror/Dash.


The line comes as no surprise, as Gordon is no stranger to fashion. In the mid 90's she designed a line of clothing called, X-Girl, modeled for Calvin Klein, and even performed at the Marc Jacobs show at last years Fashion Week. Read her interview with New York Magazine to find out all about it.

...In Other Marc Jacobs News


What is Anne Hathaway so happy about you ask?! Well, after getting red wine spilled all over her white dress by Valentino Garavani last week, she kicked him to the curb and seems to have a new bff...and it's MaRc JaCobS! The two have "forged a fast but very intense friendship and they're going to start doing public appearances soon." YES, I love public appearances. So, move over Victoria Beckham, looks like Marc has a new muse.

Ceyute 2 Deth


This tiger mommy, lost her babies after being born prematurely at a California zoo. When her health began deteriorating rapidly, although she was physically fine, the vets attempted to find tiger cubs of the appropriate age to introduce to her. After being unable to find the right cubs, the vets took these little piggies and dressed them up in tiger print to see if the mommy would love them, or just love to eat them. Now they are one ceyute 2 deth family! It WoRkeD!

LoHose

For those of you hwo didn't already know, LiLo has been developing a legwear brand for a while now called 6126. Not only is the brand going to include five different styles of spandex (that she will assuredly wear as pants), but is now going to include hosiery! Each pair will run about $18 and be available in July. So bust out your long and loose tanks, ladies and start workin on that cellulite so you too can have the lohan look.

I ['m Not Sure If I] Heart Ronson for JC Penney

So quite like the Alexnder McQueen line for target (which,sorry ladies, I found dissapointing), I was excited to hear about the I "Heart" Ronson line for JCPenney. The ads that have been popping up in every magazine I read however, are ATROCIOUS. They make me want to stab my eyes out just about as much as the Nora Roberts Lifetime move ads .


I mean, I'm sorry, but whoever the fuck styled these ads needs to be fired, or at least needs to be sternly spoken to. The girls in the background are whatever but the girl in the foreground?!? Who the eff is this b?! why is her hair geled back? Why is her eye shadow so blue and her lipstick so red? Why is she so angsty? Are tormented, high-school-outsiders the only demographic JCPenney is trying to reach?

I'm giving C. Ron the benefit of the doubt and placing the blame on the Penney ad staff because I am a fan not only of her, but of her whole fam. The Ronson clan came out strong and sexy at the launch party Saturday night in LA.


I'll hit JCP soon and get the in person scoop.
