America's Next Top Model winner, Jaslene Gonzalez shares words of wisdom for this season's contestants




Whether it's fights with celebrities, snarky judges, or a transgendered model, America's Next Top Model always knows how to attract controversy -- and ratings! But that's exactly what makes Jaslene Gonzalez, who won the show in 2007, such an anomaly: she brings zero drama!

Throughout the show she was cool, calm and actually friendly, proving that nice girls can finish first. I caught up with her at a private party in New York City and after marvelling over how good she looked in a simple tee and jeans, I had to ask her what winning strategy the contestants can use this season. "Take it as a learning experience. That's what it is. Go in there like a sponge, be open minded. But at the same time be confident and know what your objective is. My objective was to win."

Opening Ceremony's Olympic activities still rage on


While the most of us have been glued to the TV for the last couple of weeks watching some the world's best athletes compete at the Beijing Olympics, there's another group of people competing in a very fierce retail competition stateside.

In honor of the summer Olympics, Opening Ceremony released a limited-edition run of metallic gold and silver Air Max 1 and the Nike LunaRacer. They also threw a really big party, too, and even had jewelry designer Philip Crangi host a ping pong match in their store.

Luckily, the good people at Style.com went and documented all of the madness for those who are more into Micheal Phelps instead of Marc Jacobs right now. In this clip, watch as a slew of guests breakdown their funky outfits, amongst other things.

Eva Longoria at the ALMA Awards


Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



It was a sunny afternoon at the Pasadena Civic Center, where the 10th annual ALMA Awards hosted by hot housewife Eva Longoria in 15 different dresses, all my Latin designers. My Favorite was this over-the-shoulder shot wearing Venezuelan designer Armando Piquer.

Hayden Panettiere's Closet won't sell underwear


As many of you may already know, Hayden Panettiere has a website called Panettiere's Closet, that auctions off items from the actress/singer's wardrobe to raise money for charity. But, don't expect any scandalous finds on the site anytime soon. Hayden has put her momager on an underwear ban.

Olympic hotties


There's no doubt that much of the advertising shown during the Olympic games targets women -- have you noticed all the commercials for osteoporosis meds, baby products, and women's razors? And there's reason -- research has shown that women tune in to the Olympics for many reasons. They enjoy the "occasion," and all the pomp and circumstance; they appreciate the dedication and commitment the athletes have to their sports; plus, it's great family programming.

However, we think many women have another reason for tuning it -- the male athletes.

Sarah Jessica Parker says shoes trump sex and men



(Click the photo to see which shoes are "better than sex")

We love it when life imitates art. Just like her wildly popular Sex and the City character, Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker has a serious thing for shoes.

Book Review: "Edward Steichen In High Fashion"



Students of photography know that some of the most stunning examples of the craft come from advertising work. Edward Steichen In High Fashion is literally a beautiful illustration of this truth.

Although Steichen might not exactly be a household name, his subjects were. In his distinguished career, which included 15 years as the chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, he snapped stars like Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire, Gloria Swanson and Charlie Chaplin.

Duffy at the All Points West Music Festival - From Red Carpet to Your Closet:


There's something really refreshing about seeing a celebrity rock a trend in a way that's 100% accessible to the rest of us. There's nothing over-the-top about Duffy's take on this season's nautical trend -- she's taken a number of simple pieces and put them together in a way that really makes a statement.

This look is something you could pull off for school, a date, or just out on the weekend because it's casual yet totally pulled together. Check out the gallery for tips on making Duffy's look your own!

Another reason to think of Brad Pitt in the shower


You now have a good excuse to think about Brad Pitt while you're in the shower -- the ecologically-minded A-lister is teaming up with Kiehl's Since 1851 to raise money for the JPF Eco System, a part of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

All the net profits from sales of Kiehl's Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser will go to JPF Eco System. The cleanser, which will run $16.50 for a 6.8 ounce bottle, will be a permanent addition to the Kiehl's lineup and should bring in $1 million or more for the charity.

Back to school hair: 5 ways to shorten your morning routine


Whether you're a stylish sixth grader or a fashionable college freshman (or a mom to either of the above), chances are that you're not a fan of having to make it to your 8:00 class. When we were in school, it took us forever to do our hair in the morning, and trust us -- we weren't going to school with bad hair.

Emmy Rossum has PiNKiTUDE



PiNKiTUDE sounds like the overwhelming urge to do an Elle Woods, but really it's the name of MGM's new cause related marketing initiative. The campaign, which aims to to educate young women about the importance of early detection and a healthy lifestyle, will run between now and October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The campaign includes a clothing line, improbably inspired by the Pink Panther. It gets some fashion cred from having the reliably classy Emmy Rossum as the official spokesperson. A percentage of the proceeds from the lines will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

There was a big launch on Saturday, with a PiNKiTUDE "Pop Up Store" private event at the XIN boutique on Melrose Ave. We're all for fashion that supports a great cause like this, so we hope it's a big success, and doesn't get too confused with Victoria Secret.

Ho'roscope for the week of August 18, 2008 - Olympics Edition

The stars rule the stars. So what's in store for your favorite celeb? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The glamor, the sex, the money troubles can all be understood through the astrological powers that really run Hollywood.





This week: we salute the Olympics with all signs represented by Team USA. The stars are active in Houses of Gold and Consolation, plus a much needed visit to the House of Booty Boost.

SNL Jeans: A video collection



Urlesque just made our day. They took the time (and we're guessing they enjoyed it) to put together this collection of the "Top 5 SNL Skits About Jeans."

We couldn't help but noticing that all of the videos are fairly old. The Mom Jeans clip is already considered a classic at this point and everything else is from even older casts. Where's the love SNL? Aren't jeans still funny? Where's Andy Samberg's jean short about jean shorts? Laser Cats can't touch denim blue gold in a box!

At least we have these gems. SNL and Urlesque, we thank you from the bottom of our Bad Ideas.


The two we featured are our favorites, but they're all good. See them all at Urlesque!

Kendra Wilkinson ain't classy enough for the Olive Garden



Playboy hottie and lady friend to Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson has plenty of admirers. With her So-Cal looks and willingness to express herself toplessly, she is a truly American brand.

You could say that Olive Garden, another "only in America" classic, is a natural match for Kendra, both of them pre-fab, bland and over-processed. In other words, easy to like and available in every mall in America.

But this is a story of unrequited love.

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin to become major brand


Nastia Liukin is an undeniable star. Watching gymnastics you just can't take your eyes off her. Aside from the fact that she's physically beautiful, the young girl also seems to possess a self awareness and a maturity that not every young athlete has. Sports agent, Evan Morgenstein, wants to capitalize on the public fascination with this Olympic gold medalist before it dies down.
