Little Orphan Zoe Talks Fame, Fortune, and Elevator Fighting

Well, well, well! Look who has gone from being interviewed by the family of moths that lives in her favorite sweater to being interviewed by Good Morning America! Why it's none other than my favorite homeless rich girl on the entire globe, Little Orphan Zoe Kravitz! LOZ stopped by the studio in order to give the lowdown on her latest projects, including a new movie called "Twelve", her dislike for the phrase "It girl" and her band Elevator Fight which GMA describes as "popular". Now this is just a question, but is a band considered "popular" if the only people buying their cds are the band members parents? I'm just asking because if that's the case, Lisa Bonet better rush her ass on over to the local record store, because LOZ's little band that could certainly use a tad more exposure. Not that I'm knocking LOZ. Her insistance upon promoting her band honestly is admirable, and certaily more well meaning than other celebutaunte endeavors. Case in point, LOZ insists that while she is grateful for the opportunities that come along with being a celeb spawn, she isn't going to rely on her parents for a free ride. When asked if she feels she has to try harder to earn legitimate respect for her movies and music, LOZ replied by saying "I feel like I should try harder because I have a lot of great connections but I also want to deliver and have the respect that any other actress would." I don't know about you, but I think LOZ is adorable and I welcome her onscreen, onstage or in the back of Starbucks digging in the dumpster for a half drank latte lite. Not because she's poor, but because getting mono from the impovrished makes her feel like a woman of the people.

Slacker Chic of the Month: Lola Blue M.

When I first selected one of my two doggies, a 4 year old little beagle by the name of Lola Blue, as Slacker Chic of the Week, I figured that she would never make it past the preliminary stages for SCOTM. After all, she may be cute but she doesn't have a successful television show on Comedy Central like Sarah Silverman does, and she certainly does not have the cult following of rock star Alice Glass. Or does she?!? Despite being the underdog (pun intended), Lola Blue crushed the competition, leaving her fellow running mates in her dust and getting more than double the votes of her competitors combined. Whether it was her floppy little ears, her spunky demeanor, or those eyes that seem to scream "I Heart Trouble", you the public have chosen the one, the only, my doggie Lola Blue to represent you to the fullest as July's Slacker Chic of the Month. Truely, if aliens had doggies I assure you, Lola is what they would look and act like. She is unpredictable, irresistable, and easily one of the most loved pups on the planet. On behalf of Lols, I thank you for deeming her worthy. Here's a big "woooooo!!!" on her Beagle behalf.
Lola Blue will now movie on to compete against the other reigning SCOTMs at the end of the year for the supreme title of Slacker Chic of the Year.

Eva Mendes in September's UK Marie Claire

I'm going to need the haters to file on over to the left, because what we have here is a mothereffing flawless, fierce female post staring the lovely, the talented, the ferocious Eva Mendes. Even in a woman's mag like Marie Claire the actress cannot help but sizzle striking some adorably infectious poses and looking as sultry and sweet as ever. I know many women want to hate on Eva because she's such a femme fatale, but personally I can't harbor any ill will towards the chick because she's such an all out girl's girl. Not only is she among the few female actresses that manage to nab juicy, complex roles onscreen, but she does so looking fabulous from head to toe therefore I simply cannot find it in my normally dark, hollow, hardened heart to hate on her even a little. That doesn't mean I can't be full on jealous of that Bardot/Loren sexbomb bedhead hair of hers. Even the best of us aren't immune to falling prey to the green eyed jealousy monster now and again.
Anyway, here's some more pics of The Spirit star in the September issue of Marie Claire UK. Enjoy!

Beyonce and Hilary Duff Unveil New Ads for Clothing Lines

In celebrity clothing line news, we have a two for one post today staring none other than two fierce females, Beyonce Knowles and Hilary Duff. Up first is Beyonce, who just unveiled this new ad for her upcoming clothing endeavor inspired by her alter ego, Sasha Fierce. The collection will be a branch off from her already existing line House of Dereon, and will feature edgier, bad girl inspired looks. Personally I think while these designs won't exactly stand the test of time (B is known for her affinity for the trendy), all in all they are cute and definitely consist of pieces I would be more than happy to wear. I especially like the pairing of the little black dress with those pink and black striped socks. (Clicky clicky for a closer look)






Another pop star turned actress turned fashion designer to release an ad for her upcoming collection is Hilary Duff, who is currently designing a collection called Femme for DKNY Jeans. Here's her latest ad for the brand:

The line, which is slated to drop in the fall, was inspired by the Duffster's personal style and the tough city style of New Yorkers. The campaign “takes to the streets with style observer/street fashion photographer Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist. Framed with manipulated polaroid edges, the campaign images have a literal and visceral connection to the street style of New York City.” Femme for DKNY Jeans will include a whole line of fashion items, including jeans, sweaters, tees, dresses and more. Prices range from $39 to $129. The Femme for DKNY Jeans ads, as shown below, will be running in National magazines such as Teen Vogue and Seventeen. Personally I think the clothes are cute and all, but I must ask where the hell is Hilary? All I see is some 6 foot tall Amazonian with legs for days and the whittled waist of Gisele. I mean honestly, are we to believe that HDuff miraculously grew an entire foot and changed her body structure overnight? Who is this ad fooling? We all know she doesn't look like that! Besides, if I'm going to buy clothes from Hilary Duff, I want to buy them from Hilary Duff. Not some freakishly watered down, anoed out, photochopped version of what DKNY wants her to look like. I mean, if DKNY wanted Nancy Fowler Archer, they should have hired Khloezilla.

First Look at Lily Allen for Chanel

Ok so I know that in the past I have been guilty of speaking ill of both Lily Allen and the casa de Chanel. However I'm not a stubborn Suzy. I won't just continue to say I loathe something simply because I said it in the past and do not want to look like a fence rider. Because while I will readily admit to still hating Karl Lagerfeld with every fabric of my being, I must admit that La Allen looks pretty freaking cute in her newly leaked ads for Chanel. Although I still find the direction of the brand to be a tad bland and stale, I will say that Lily was a great choice to spicen up their slightly AARP reputation. She brings this sort of fresh, saucy naughtiness to the brand that has been seriously lacking for a while. Perhaps the Smile singer is just what Chanel needs to usher in a new age of young Chanel fans who can revolutionize the way we look at tweed. Or maybe that's just because I'm on my ass with the worst migraine in history and riding the vicodin wave of approval. Either way, I even like the obvious homage to the fataley fashionable Holly Golightly. All in all, I have to say I kind of love these ads, and if anyone could tell me where I can go to nab that tiara, I would love you forever.

Sienna Miller in August's Nylon

Sienna Miller. This is a name that conjurs up many different adjectives, depending on who you're talking to. Husband stealer, fashionista, homewrecker, actress, model, girl who was publicly humiliated and cheated on by Jude Law, designer, Brit-whether you love her or you hate her, one thing is almost certain: nearly everyone has a strong opinion on Sienna. Everybody I have ever spoken with either wants to crawl inside her broken in boots and be her, or gather together in the town square so that they can brand her with a scarlett letter and burn her at the stake. Personally I carry no ill will towards her ass. Unless of course G.I. Joe bombs, in which case I shall blame her for the remainder of eternity for having a part in ruining a childhood classic.
But back to business. Here's Sienna in all her husband thievery in the August issue of Nylon in what can basically be described as the same damn editorial they do every month. I swear to God, if I see one more picture of a hipster chick in ripped jeans, combat boots and Lolita glasses, I cannot be responsible for my actions which will most likely include nausea induced vomiting and rioting in the streets. Ok so I probably won't take it that far, but I will definitely roll my eyes and verbally express mild disgust. Because I am sooooo gangsta.

Twiggy is the New Face of Olay

Proving that you're never too old to be a timeless beauty, supermodel Twiggy, 59, has just been tapped as the newest spokeswoman for Olay. This isn't the first time the two have paired up though. Twigs, who will star in a series of print ads over the next year, first became their spokesperson back in 1985 when she was a wee lil lass of 35. And while some aging beauties might be afraid to flaunt their faces, Twiggy says loud and pround that she is jazzed to be affiliated with the brand. "I am delighted to be fronting the new advertising campaign for Olay Definity." said the model. "Like many women I trust Olay to meet my specific skincare needs.'
Twiggy, whose androgynous look single handidly revolutionized the fashion world, has made it perfectly clear that while she may rely on skin care products to keep her face silky smooth, one thing she does not approve of is the American fascination with botox. In fact, unlike most of her peers, Twiggy has sworn off the paralyzing procedure vowing to never, ever have it done. "I don't trust anything like that." says the model. "I really don't think I'd ever be Botoxed. People say that venom disappears but where does it go? It has to go somewhere."
As for Olay they are equally as pleased to have a classy, natural broad like Twiggy on their payroll. A spokesperson for the brand praised the supermodel saying "We were thrilled to welcome Twiggy back to the brand. She is a true beauty Icon who continues to be an inspiration to millions of women across the UK."
I don't know about you, but I think Twiggy is the perfect choice for Olay. She is pretty much synonymous with everything the brand stands for (taking pride in your appearance but not having unrealistic expectations) and is a rare example of how to age gracefully under the hot lights of fame. In fact I must say, I have been pleased as punch to see brands like Olay and Cover Girl using natural beauties such as Twiggy and Ellen Degeneres to show woman that being beautiful means trying to be the best version of yourself-not someone else. Twiggy is fierce as hell, one hot mama, and I can't wait to see the glamorous ads she churns out over the next 12 months.
And just for fun I've added some old school Twig pics. For the nostalgic fashion supa luvah inside of you.

Candy Spelling Blasts Tori in Open Letter to TMZ

Is there something you feel you need to tell a loved one, but aren't sure what would be the most eloquent, appropriate way to broach the subject? Sure you could send a Hallmark card, but that is sooooo 1985. You could also go on the Maury Povich show, but who's got time for all that? In this day and age, you need a venue to unleash your most intimate of opinions. A forum to discuss what should only be discussed behind closed doors. A forum like TMZ. Sure we have had celebrity parents and hanger-ons write memoirs, sell their story to the rags, or publicly call their offspring psychotic (eh hem, Jon Voight), but truely there is not better way to say I love you or I hate you, then penning a heartfelt, eff you bitch letter to your daughter through a celebrity gossip website. And if you don't believe me, just ask Candy Spelling.
Candy, aka Mother of the Year aka Botoxy McPWW, decided that she has had enough of seeing daughter Tori's face on the Oxygen network, so she took pen to paper and spew forth this little gem bashing Tori for bashing her on her show. In the letter, Candy calls Tori "Middle Aged" and chastises her for publicizing and allegedly exploiting their hot and cold relationship on Tori's reality show. Because nothing says "I don't want to be exploited" like writing a letter to TMZ. Anyway, here's the letter. Try not to weep too many tears over the unraveling of the greatest mother/daughter relationship since Joan and Christina Crawford:
EXCLUSIVE TO: TMZ.COM TO: MIDDLE-AGED REALITY SHOW STARS (LIKE MY DAUGHTER)
FROM: CANDY SPELLING I Know many middle-aged people have issues about their parents and their upbringing. I did. My memories didn't match all those of my mother, and, funny thing, it's the same way with my daughter. Life has consequences. What you say is on the record. Other people have feelings. I have a vested interest in this subject. My daughter, Tori's, two-part season finale revolves around my granddaughter's first birthday party and how she has made what seems like an agonizing decision to invite me. Cue music. Cue sideways glaces. Clue Lights. I did get an invitation just in time for the RSVP deadline. I'm sure its delivery will be on next week's episode with some comment about my house or driveway or street or something they won't like. I wonder if that will be spread out over one part or two. Sigh. A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too. At the time I emailed "yes," I didn't realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter's reality show. Spoiler alert. Don't read this if you plan to sit through an hour of people looking at their watches and saying "she's late." I decided my first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending. Back to other reality stars. My husband taught me that the plots have to be fresh and updated. The same old whining gets tired after a while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it. For all the reality show personalities, please remember that real life doesn't get edited to make things better or worse or get better ratings. You're responsible for what you do. Life isn't just a show. And your families can't just be props. Make your own season finale without creating conflicts you will regret later."
Uh...all I have to say is....

Evan Rachel Wood in August's Blackbook Magazine

Ok so please do not beat me with a wooden spoon for saying this, but I think Evan Rachel Wood might actually be growing on me. You know, like a fungus. Or warts. At first you're all like "Ugh what IS this?!? Make it go away!", but after living with it for quite some time you eventually start to become fond of the annoying little feller. Same goes for ERW. At first I could not stand her ass because she was basically becoming a low, low, low rent version of former flame Marilyn Manson's ex Dita Von Teese. From her hair to her makeup to her clothes, everything was very Jennifer Jason Leigh ala Single White Female, even down to sleeping with the same two timing nogoodnik. However, all that seems to be taking a back seat to Evan Von Rachel Teese's actual talent and ability to take one hell of a picture. In fact, some of her more recent photoshoots have been the strongest of most of her peers, and some of my all-time favorite. So she ruined a marriage by sleeping with someone old enough to be her father. Who hasn't?!? Ok so maybe most of us haven't, but then again, she's 21. And I'm pretty sure you're obligated at that age to royally fuck up at least a few times and get away with it. Especially if you're as hot as ERW.
