REPLICAS and FAKES
When it comes to Chanel logo earrings, replicas abound as is true with most any brand of popular designer jewelry or clothing these days. Replicas are fine for the lady who wants to dress up an outfit on the cheap. Fakes are less expensive and sparkle nicely, but there’s always that little voice whispering in your ear when a friend or passerby stops to admire your earrings that reminds you that they may be aware that they are not authentic. Why suffer unnecessarily with low self esteem when you can buy real Chanel earrings for such inexpensive prices online? Yes, I would buy used before I would buy fakes.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
There are a few things to watch for to be sure that you are getting your money’s worth. You don’t want to pay the current price of a pair of authentic Chanel logo earrings only to receive and be disappointed by a pair of fake Chanel CC logo earrings. Here are some tips to be sure that you get what you pay for:

• If you are purchasing your jewelry through an online auction, choose a reputable seller who sells designer brands on a regular basis with a high number of satisfied customers.
  
• Request pictures of the backs to be certain that the Oval Chanel Stamp is visible.
  
• Request a tag, a Chanel box and receipt from the store where they were originally purchased

Those are just a few ways that you can be sure that you are not fooled into buying a pair of knock off Chanel logo earrings with crystals that won’t sparkle and silver and gold metal has less shine than you expected. If you are truly confident and pleased with the seller’s history you may be willing to forego the proof of a receipt or authentic earring box in exchange for a low price.

NICOLE KIDMAN SPARKLING in SILVER and GOLD

Nicole Kidman has been one busy little bee running hither, thither and yon to promote "Australia" the film about an English aristocrat who inherits a ranch with no real clue of what ranching in the Outback is all about. This minor detail forces a liaison between stock-man, Hugh Jackman, to prevent an unwanted takeover.

The interview on David Letterman was strained and awkward as it always seems to be. What is it about Letterman that makes Nicole seem to be struggling for words? Irregardless of the less than flowing repartee between the two, her appearance was as always flawless. The mention of Sunday Rose always brings a smile to her face, but even that didn’t make the conversation flow as comfortably as we might have expected from two professionals who have been in the business so long that they should be capable of conducting interviews in their sleep.


When time came for her to be surrounded by the ladies of "The View" she seemed much more at ease and eager to share the depth of her feelings regarding motherhood, being a mom to baby Sunday Rose and marriage to hunky husband, Keith Urban. She strolled to her seat wearing a flesh tone sheath with festive red shoes. In her choice of said shoes it seemed to me that she was giving a nod to the holidays. However, the and gold metallic silver Dries Van Noten dress that she was seen wearing later proved that she had more flash up her sleeve than the nude color shift on "The View".

In closing, I’m sure Nicole Kidman and the movie, "Australia", will be fantastic, but the big thrill for this author is the opportunity to see Nicole Kidman looking fantastic (at 41 years of age no less) in one striking ensemble after another.

TINA FEY SCAR DETAILS

I can't say that I haven't wondered what the story was behind the Tina Fey scar. Apparently there are those who have been rather, shall we say, obsessive over hearing the details. Jeff Richmond, for one, admits that the origin of the scar that is on her left cheek fascinated him. He says that how it got there may indicate the way she thinks about life.

I can't be included in the numbers of fans who need to know all about the Tina Fey scar. But, I thought I'd let those nosy Nellies know that they need ponder no more. Her husband is reported to have revealed the shocking facts in an interview in Vanity Fair. And friend, they are enough to prevent you from letting your kids play in the yard ever again.

It was said that when she was only five years old that a stranger walked up to her in the front yard of her home. The little girl thought he had marked her with a pen (which is weird enough when you think about it)when in actuality, the freak had slashed the child's face resulting in Tina Fey's scar that has made so many curious. Just when you think evil idiots are a modern thing; there you go and now you know.

I have always admired Tina's spunk and spirit and to know this about her just makes me admire her positive attitude and view on life even more. If something this traumatic had happened to me, I'd probably be an agoraphobic for life. What a brave person to just keep right on going and not take a direct hit to the old self esteem.

REESE WITHERSPOON CHRISTMAS COMMENTS

In a recent interview with BBC News celebrity mom, Reese Witherspoon, allowed that she had no intentions of spoiling her kids this Christmas. She indicated that she is mindful and a little strict about that kind of stuff. She obviously feels that kids tend to appreciate and enjoy their gifts more when they receive a couple of items that they really enjoy so that they appreciate them more.

She went on to say that one of those limited items might just be a horse for daughter, Ava, who is nine years old. What little girl of that age would not want a horse to ride the rest of the year? It’s not a done deal, Reese is reported to be still on the fence.

I find it inspiring to see that celebrities with considerable means give some thought to avoiding the “spoiled rich kid” syndrome that comes with overindulgence. In the past we saw more than a few movie stars who showered their kids with too many expensive gifts and too little of their precious time. All the while we, their fans, thought the children were living in the lap of luxury in the Hollywood Hills somewhere when they were actually lonely and in need of some common sense parenting.

My hat’s off to Reese Witherspoon and the other celebrity moms who are working hard to raise kids with character and social responsibility and awareness. They will reap the rewards of their labor later and I can picture several ways that the rest of us can benefit right now. For starters we can begin by telling our kids that, "Even celebrity kids only get a few Christmas presents."

COACH HANDBAGS CARLY!

Guys! Here’s a gift that will make your diva happy, Coach handbags, Carly to be specific. Don’t wait until the last minute to try to find out where to buy Coach handbags if you want to pick up that Signature Carly at an inexpensive price.

Don’t get caught red handed and gift free or suffer the consequences! Or worse yet, put your shopping off until the last minute and be forced to pay full retail. Even the most seasoned procrastinators know that once you know the particular style of Coach handbag that you need, the key is to cruise the outlet stores and auctions.

The preferred styles and colors in Coach purses
can shift as often as we change our lingerie so always check to see what is considered to be fashionable (read: hot) in the designer purse line. One minute this desired item could be a duffle and the next a messenger. At the time of this article your best bet in Coach handbags, Carly.

You heard it here, my friend. Signature Carly Coach purses and bags are one of the most sought after in the entire line at the moment. That may sound very simple until you see that they come in suede leather as well as tonal fabrics. Coach handbags, Carly included, come in many different colors as well. Red, blue, brown and black to name a few. And lest we forget there are Coach baby bags in pink and blue.

This is where you have to do a little homework to personalize your gift. Match your Coach handbags, Carly or otherwise, to your friend’s wardrobe and shoes. Take the time to dig through her closet and see what she likes, what is lacking or what kind of designer purse that she can’t live without. Not that everything in her wardrobe has to match perfectly, but chances are if there is no article of clothing in blue to be found a navy or pastel blue Coach handbag,Carly or any other style will be appreciated. The same rule of thumb goes for other colors. Another tip is that if she has no suede shoes; nix the suede leather patchwork purse.

Your may even find a few knockoffs in the closet while you are on your search and destroy mission. Replica or inspired Coach handbags are cheap and some are high quality items that don’t try to pass themselves off as the real deal. However, I would only buy an authentic coach signature Carly handbag, purse or bag as a gift. There is just something cheesy about giving a fake Coach Carly purse as a gift unless it is specifically requested.

Believe me, the rewards will be worth the trouble.

FAITH HILL HAIRSTYLES and FASHIONS

I have to say this may be one of the best Faith Hill hairstyles yet? What do you think? The only thing that I do not like is how she was constantly batting at the bangs. It made me want to run for a bobby pin or barrette.

She apparently is making the rounds of the talk shows to promote her Christmas CD "Joy to the World" that has been in the stores since September or October of this year. I know, enough about the new CD, visitors to this celebrity fashion website want to know what she was wearing.

What do all the blonde celebrity beauties seem to be wearing this winter? Why something long, lean and basic black. Faith Hill was right in line with Reese Witherspoon who recently appeared on the same show. However, Faith went with opaque, black stockings or fashion tights which created a continuous, slimming line from her shoulders to her toes. Has anyone else noticed that celebrity pantyhose is becoming noticeably darker?

There were, however, two bright pops of color. One at the top of her lovely head which was no less than the crowning glory it was meant to be; the latest celebrity mom, Faith Hill approved, new hairstyles. The other was visible after Dave greeted her and she made her way to her seat by his desk. You guessed it, when she gracefully seated herself there was the signature flash of the bright red soles of designer shoes. Another celebrity wearing what appeared to be a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.




Because of the black tights, ascertaining whether or not they were Louboutin slingbacks or peep toes was kind of tricky. But I believe that what she was wearing was a pair of platform pumps with closed toes and heel. This style is extremely popular with movie stars at the time because of the added height that the hidden platform (double platform?) gives them. Most ladies go for this style because it is so slimming. But why this blonde beauty would feel the need to cover her celebrity feet escapes me as she has one fine pair of celebrity legs. Faith Hill had absolutely no reason to search for footwear that made her look slim. Have you seen those Faith Hill bikini pictures? This is not a chick that needs help from the crew on "How to Look Good Naked."

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SLINGBACK SHOES

Who wouldn’t love to find a pair of the latest Christian Louboutin slingback shoes in that beautifully wrapped package that we saw lover boy hiding in the top of the closet? Even though we know in our heart of hearts that it is quite possibly another example of the men in our lives doing something that gives them great pleasure all the while claiming that they did it just to make us happy. Do you see where I’m coming from?



If that pair of Christian Louboutin double-platform slingbacks with the spike heels didn’t make his pulse race, would he have been so eager to rush out ahead of the discount sales and pay that expensive price? So what if he had ulterior motives for making sure your pretty toes were wrapped in the ultimate of designer footwear. You will reap the rewards at the cocktail or Christmas party when the men (and more than a few ladies) zoom in on your sexy feet in those Christian Louboutin slingback shoes or a brand that is comparable .

Why are the Louboutin slingbacks so popular? The answer to that is that there is only a thin strap that breaks the long, lean lines of your leg rather than a fully enclosed heel. Spike heels do an amazing job of lengthening and shaping your calves, but many feel that the strappy, near naked heel is so much nicer.

Plus, it’s a sad fact that every girl’s toes are not perfect. Even with a professional pedicure and the best nail polish on the planet, some toes are best left unexposed. The open heel camouflages the fact that we might be hiding a part of ourselves that may be somewhat lacking in beauty or total perfection. A good rule of thumb among fashion advisors is when in doubt, find something beautiful to wear on top of our flaws.

Christian Louboutin Numero Prive Glitter Shoes

WHAT’S HOT FOR COCKTAIL PARTIES AND THE HOLIDAYS

When it comes to sparkling crystals and black satin, Christian Louboutin slingback shoes have got you covered. There are styles with square toes with an elegant bow decorating the toe as well as slimming pointed toes in ivory or winter white that would be stunning with a dress or handbag in silver. If black satin, gold and silver glitter are too tame for the wild child in you, there is a multi-colored style know as Numero Prive Glitter Shoes that are an explosion of rainbow colors with a slim metallic gold spike heel and platform soles.


The bottom line is that if you can find a more exquisitely designed pair of slingbacks than Christian Louboutin slingback shoes, by all means enlighten us. Especially if you can find a comparable pair offered at knockoff prices.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SHOES

I was pondering how celebrities keep the soles of Christian Louboutin shoes
red after seeing more than a few of those slingback wonders flashing their shiny red soles to the camera on recent talk shows. Not that I actually own a pair, but common sense tells me that there is no way to keep them perfect and unblemished unless you avoid walking outside with them. Only wear your Louboutin shoes when you will be inside walking on carpet or suffer the consequences of scuffed designer soles.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

Some of you may wonder why everyone is making such a fuss over Christian Louboutin shoes. To those inquisitive soles without a clue, I would have to ask, “Have you seen these shoes?” In my opinion, which is shared by many celebrities, they are one of the most beautifully designed examples of lady’s footwear available in boutiques today.

HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?

This depends on whether you want a pair of espadrilles or a pair of peep toe boots covered in luscious suede leather fringe from your ankles to your knees. The former can be found at one of the upscale retail stores for five hundred dollars, give or take a few bucks. The latter is approximately eighteen hundred plus tax which is cheap to those who never thought they would find a combination peep toe pump and knee boot.

If you are a hip and savvy shopper and know your way around in the world of online auctions, you know that you can cut those prices in half or even less if you have no qualms about buying a used pair in good condition. So what if your Christian Louboutin shoes been worn once or twice when you can do the same and be so fashionable at a deep discount?


WHERE TO BUY

My favorite place to window shop for the latest styles in Christian Louboutin shoes is Neiman Marcus. They can also be found at Barneys, Bergdorf-Goodman and on Ebay.


CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN KNOCKOFFS

Wherever you find expensive designer shoes, purses and clothes a line of fakes will follow. That’s the drawback of taking advantage of those tempting discount prices in an online auction; you never know if the item will be a knockoff, a replica or whatever nice name they are using to camouflage the shame of counterfeit merchandise.

It’s hard to tell what you are buying at times as (allegedly) there are sellers that post pictures of authentic Christian Louboutin shoes in the auction description, but mail out knockoffs (often in an authentic looking Christian box like that makes up for the deception) that always fall short of the real thing. You can reduce your risk by shopping with a trusted seller who has built a good reputation that is backed up by a high number of positive customer feedbacks. However, the best way to know that you are getting genuine Christian Louboutin shoes for your money is to shop at the Louboutin Boutique in Beverly Hills or Las Vegas.

MOST POPULAR STYLES

This information changes as often as you change your outfits and purses, but at the time of this article, Louboutin slingbacks are highly sought after. But the truth is that his pumps (with spike heels and without) never go out of style. The same is true for flats and sandals with wedge heels.

ADVICE

Celebrities have unlimited budgets and don’t have to worry about the longevity of a particular style. The average fashionista diva such as myself has to calculate how much bang I will be getting for my bucks so I limit my purchases of Christian Louboutin shoes to classic styles like the DECOLLETE peep toe pumps I picked up for less than five hundred dollars from a reputable Ebay seller. Even at that low discount sale price, you can bet that I will wear them till the red soles are no more.

REESE WITHERSPOON's BLACK DRESS

Reese Witherspoon's black dress that she wore on David Letterman's show last night just knocked me out. I did a search for some pictures and found one from a few days ago taken at the premiere of Warner Brothers holiday film 'Four Christmases' and she was wearing a similar outfit. The neckline of the black strapless dress is the same in the earlier pics, but there are some subtle differences in last night's black, fitted cocktail dress and one that I admired on Letterman including a more figure flattering fit. The lacy slingback peeptoe heels were an improvement on the black ribbon tie shoes that she was wearing a few days ago as well.

Reese Witherspoon's black dress is topped off with a feminine chin length hairstyle that in combination with the smoky eye shadow makes her lovely eyes really shine.

Are those real diamonds in the earrings and large pendant of the necklace? Anybody care to name the number of carats contained in the jewelry? The pendant almost looks like an antique, but it could be a replica. If it is, I would love to know the designer, especially if the stones are simulated so that those of lesser means might be able to afford them! Wouldn't it be lovely if celebrities would give paparazzi that are taking their pictures handouts listing the brand names of the clothes, shoes and purses they are wearing?

SEQUIN DRESSES

Some women use food to lure men. But why work so hard when
sequin dresses
are so much more alluring than even the most fragrant and flashy dishes? We have been informed that the way to a man’s heart is through his over bloated abdomen but believe me when I tell you there are other options. Whoever the artist was that produced those painted vintage signs that accomplished cooks display in their kitchens announcing that "Loving Don’t Last but Cooking Do" or some such nonsense did not have much fashion sense nor did he have a clue as to how to turn a man on.

He or she obviously does not realize the effect that slinky, black sequin dresses, purses and spike heels with the right gold jewelry can have on a man. How gratifying it is when your date picks you up to escort you to a party that he probably was not looking forward to attending smack dab in the middle of football season only to see his eyeballs pop out on their stems when you answer the door.

Savvy chicks know to spray a cloud of his favorite perfume to walk through around fifteen minutes or so before he is due to arrive so that it will have time to settle on their bodies and mellow. When the door is opened, the first sensory treat is his favorite scent and then the visual delight of yours truly in scintillating sequins and beads.

SEQUIN DRESSES

There’s very little to say on this subject except I never met one that I didn’t like. When I was little my mother said when she went to the mall and took a stroll through the holiday and cocktail outfits, that I insisted that she find some children’s dresses that were sparkling and festive.

Throughout my high school years, the number of sparkles and beads may have fluctuated according to what was considered to be fashionable at the time. But you can bet that the number of sequins on my clothes pushed the limits. Whether the occasion called for a formal prom dress or mini dresses I wanted sparkle and dangling beads then and I still want them today.

SEQUIN PURSES, BELTS and More

A beaded evening purse has a way of transforming a plain black shift into something memorable. Black dresses accessorized with the right earrings and strappy sandals go from the office to the cocktail party in a flash. Never discount the power of a purse with sequins, sparkling beads and metal discs when it comes to cheap, holiday party clothes.

In closing, please don’t think that I’m mocking those who like to cook a good meal for their man. I just think that he will appreciate it even more if you are wearing one of your favorite sexy black sequin dresses and shoes to set the mood while you are setting the table.

Sarah Palin Turkey Video

The Sarah Palin turkey video may be an indication that we have not seen the last of the satire surround the lovely Governor of the great State of Alaska just because the race to the White House has come to a close. She states in the video that a little bit of levity is a good thing. I wonder if her sense of humor stretches to the point of being alright about being set up to be interviewed in what appeared to be a turkey slaughterhouse while granting one bird amnesty.

I don't know about you, but because of the Sarah Palin turkey video, I may boycott turkey this year. It may take longer than a week to get a taste for turkey and dressing after watching the film. That may sound hypocritical to some, but I'm of the out of sight out of mind mentality. I prefer not to see where my meat comes from. Governor Palin on the other hand has been reported to be a hunter she is more than likely not the squeamish type. Getting up close and personal with the butchering process may not turn her stomach as it does mine.

Seeing this pic of Tina Fey panning for the camera at the 2008 Museum Gala held at the American Museum of Natural History one can't help but wonder is she relieved that the whole Sarah Palin thing is over in time for Thanksgiving turkey or does she miss all of the attention she got via the vice-presidential hopeful's look alike engagements? I wonder if she will be approached to give a satirical representation of the Sarah Palin turkey video?

She had reportedly mentioned in a joking way that when SNL was attempting to contact her to do the Sarah Palin act on the show that she was dodging their calls. This is not surprising as she probably has more than enough on her plate with her successful sitcom. However, I'm glad they finally were able to schedule her for the SNL appearance as it was without a doubt one of the best episodes ever!

In this pic, Tina has lost the signature eyeglasses and therefore much of the faux Palin personality. I wonder if it was as easy to drop the accent that she had perfected in her Tina Fey as Sarah Palin role? She had her speech patterns down pat and knew just how deeply to accentuate the telltale touchpoints without going into comedic overload which would have undermined the effects of the performance.

So, has the Sarah Palin turkey video convinced you to become a vegetarian?

Ashlee Simpson Baby Born in Time for the Holidays

One celebrity couple has an excellent reason to give thanks; Ashlee Simpson’s baby is here just in time for the holidays! I can think of no better reason to celebrate the season than with a precious newborn baby. If the bundle of joy happens to belong to one of my favorite celebrity moms it is without a blessing worthy of thanks.

The reported facts on Ashlee Simpson baby, etc. are as follows:

1. Thursday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles
2. The baby boy is named Bronx Mowgli Wentz
3. He weighed in at a perfect baby weight of seven pounds plus eleven ounces and measured twenty and one half inches in length

I have not read the rhyme and reason behind the name Bronx, nor the middle name Mowgli. There was some mention that proud daddy, Pete Wentz, informed Ryan Seacrest they had been advised by a friend to select a name that would be appropriate regardless of whether there was a career as a rock and roll star or a seat in the United States Senate in the newborn’s future. No tips or clues as to who this secret friend was that offered this tidbit of sage advice, but you have to admit that he shows wisdom in the process of choosing names for babies.

In my opinion this celebrity couple will be interesting to watch. They have just the right mix of off the wall originality as was displayed in their gothic wedding ceremony and the rumors that their baby’s nursery theme might be based on the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas" and thoughtful sentimentality.

On the traditional side, Ashlee Simpson has been quoted as saying that her pregnancy was one of the most amazing experiences of her life and that she was focused on a healthy pregnancy and baby. She managed to keep a very low profile during those months and we might assume this was to reduce the stress that public appearances put on celebrities. Another nod to tradition was the recent Winnie the Pooh baby shower.

Many find the flip flopping from one camp to the other perplexing. However, I find it captivating, healthy and can’t wait for the first installment of the Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson baby pictures. Will they do a big spread in a major entertainment magazine and donate the proceeds to charity? Or will they take the more personal, private route and make us all suffer? It will be interesting to see what this intriguing couple plus one has up their sleeve.

JENNIFER WESTFELDT - SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

I would love to hear your opinion on actress Jennifer Westfeldt’s royal blue dress. Could the number of fabric rosettes that are encircling the scoop neck of the dress and slipping over the shoulder gilding the lily a bit on the excessive side? Or are the embellishments a fitting and suitable frame for this blonde haired beauty’s lovely face?

Could we have done without the continuation of the swirling fabric down the front of the dress (which with the covered belt could almost be called a modified shirtwaist style) and around the knee length hemline?

Frankly, the dress is lovely but the minute I laid eyes on these pictures of Jennifer Westfeldt something seemed “off” to me. The color worked, the decorative touches that I mentioned in the previous paragraphs were not too heavy or out of place and the overall look was okay. So, what was it that kept bugging me?

Dark black tights have been overdone as fall fashion trends in my opinion. This outfit would have been much prettier (again in my opinion) with nude stockings, but without a doubt the black hose were fashionable. But then I zoomed in to get a better look at her black peep toe shoes and what became evident to my surprise was that the stockings were not silky black, but black fishnet tights or stockings!

I love fishnet tights or stockings, but do they work with this dress? Somehow I’m having a difficult time trying to mesh the curves of the delicate dress that Jennifer Westfeldt is wearing so gracefully with the diamond shaped patterns in her stocking no matter how sexy men consider them to be.

So what do you say? Do the black fishnets make or break this look?

MARCIA CROSS - Proof That Women with Red Hair Rock!

Marcia Cross may not have natural red hair, but unlike most women with red hair she knows how to work it. She has a keen eye for what colors to wear with her hair color that include just the right shades of green and as seen in this picture, lavender.

Her porcelain skin and eyes are those seen on red headed women who came by it the natural way as indeed she may have earlier in life. Who cares if she gets a little help from her hair stylist? Believe me when I tell you that Marcia Cross' long red hair could be on any number of women without those spectacular results. I, myself, have tried Loreal hair color Feria shades of red and auburn with less than attractive results. My skin color was suited for dark red dye nor the light strawberry blonde look.

These Marcia Cross photos show her long red hair as a carrot orange color which may have been due to the sunlight at the time the picture was taken because at other times its a much deeper, richer shade. You have to hand it to her, not many modern ladies are bold enough to venture into that area of the color spectrum. Even fewer could look as beautiful as this celebrity does after the deed is done. It's a sad fact that all women with red hair are not pretty. But I'm confident that nobody will deny that Marcia Cross is drop dead gorgeous with a stylish look beyond compare.

PAULA GOODSPEED PICTURES FROM 2003

I'm not sure that I even remember Paula Goodspeed from her American Idol audition, but I am sad to hear that she was found dead in her car nead Paula Abdul's home. It was reported that she appeared on Idol in 2006 (or they mentioned that the show was the most popular on television in that year. The phrasing was not clear), but I found this pic of her that was dated 2003.

Camilla Belle and Joe Jonas

Could there be any cuter couple than Camilla Belle and Joe Jonas? Could this be what motivated Joe to bust it up with one of America's favorite country singing stars Taylor Swift only to be connected so very quickly with this beauty that he was reported to have met on the set of a music video?

Or are they dating at all? If indeed they are, they must be keeping it lowkey. This might indicate that they are just enjoying spending time or perhaps they are being private out of respect to Taylor who has stated publicly that she was pretty heartbroken after the breakup.

JACKIE SANDLER and ADAM WELCOME SUNNY MADELINE

Jackie Sandler is reported to have added a new daughter to the family that she and celebrity, Adam Sandler, having been working on for a few years. The new Sandler's name is Sunny Madeline which without a doubt is an excellent choice. With such an upbeat mother and father how could she have anything other than a sunny disposition? Welcoming sister, Sunny Madeline, is daughter Sadie pictured above with Jackie and Adam last year.


Celebrity mom, Jackie gave birth to this beautiful baby girl last week on November 2, 2008. All parties are reported to be happy and healthy. We wish the couple love, luck and happiness and many happy moments with Sunny and Sadie. Hopefully they will grace us with some pictures of the new baby soon.

Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon Nude Photos

Cheetah girl, Adrienne Bailon, has learned a nasty lesson. It's never a good idea to carry around a laptop computer with nude pics of yourself (and probably anyone else) on it.

Will this hurt, maim or mangle her career? Why should it? From what we have heard, she wasn't doing anything wrong. Weren't there just some pics of her naked? So, what?

Now when it comes to the person who stole the computer with the photographs and invaded her privacy; their life should be changed and not in a positive way.

IS FRANK GIFFORD PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE?

Can Frank Gifford be held responsible for the premature aging that some smokers experience because of his promotion of cigarettes when he was young? Of course not. But does this picture of Kate Moss prove that lung disease may not be be the only downside to smoking? You be the judge.

A lot has been made lately about those old cigarette ads that Frank Gifford did back in the old days. How this stuff is relevant to our world escapes me. After all, wasn't this back in the dark ages when if you had a cold some of the sage advice you received was that you should run out and switch to menthols until the illness ran its course? Were people honestly crazy enough to think menthol cigarettes were some kind of breathing treatment?

I'm sure that Frank as well as millions of others have realized that it was STUPID to think that smoking could be a cure for anything other than to help you end your life. If shortening your time on earth was your goal, then baby you were on the right track. Of course, there would be the gasping, coughing, shortness of breath and nasty coughing to contend with before you got what you wanted, but there you go. Models and movie stars may rather hack and cough than get wrinkles and a ragged complexion.

GWEN STEFANI's CELEBRITY NURSERY

It struck me that since Zuma Rossdale has been born that we have seen several photos of him, but not one pixel of the baby nursery design that was reported last summer to have walls painted solid black which caused much speculation on whether or not a dark as a dungeon room for baby was beneficial or not.

Can anyone direct us to pics of Gwen Stefani's nursery? And another thing, can somebody fill me in and tell me, is black and gothic the "it" baby nursery theme for celebrities? We hear rumors that Ashlee Simpson's decorating the nursery with Nightmare before Christmas posters and art yet she had a Winnie the Pooh baby shower theme! How on earth could somebody associate the two as they are on completely opposite ends of decorative tastes and likes?

ANGELINA JOLIE "BEARS" ALL - KUNG FU PANDA BEAR THAT IS!

Angelina Jolie, Bears and Jack Black; what a killer combination! This celebration had all the bases covered; the gigantic Kung Fu Panda bear took care of the "cute" factor, Jack Black and his crazy Kung Fu moves provided the comedy and then we have long, lean and lovely cast member, Angelina Jolie, sharing her aura of elegance and cool refinement.



Speaking of which, is she amazingly thin? I am so completely jealous it's sickening! Who else could carry off a simple black dress with elbow length sleeves and a pair of plain tan peep toe pumps with such style? Speaking of the tan heels, they were okay. But here I go playing celebrity dress up; I would have loved to see her with that dress and these suede peep toes with the leopard print spike heels just for fun. The animal print on the heels would tie the outfit together in my opinion.

JACK BLACK'S KUNG FU PANDA PHOTOS

In Jack Black's Kung Fu Panda photos Jack was really showing off some serious moves. The cute Panda bear himself was warily watching in the background at the DVD release on November 9, 2008 at where else but at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood CA.

The Kung Fu Panda t-shirt that Jack is wearing is pretty cool and I would love to own one. But the turquoise and black athletic shoes really take the prize for style in my book. As enticing as the outfit may be, I'm actually more excited about Kung Fu Panda and Po's new adventure Secrets of the Furious Five. Stay tuned for reviews and meanwhile I'm off to frame a few Kung Fu Panda posters for the game room to celebrate the release.

SIENNA MILLER and GETTY GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS?

Have you heard rumors of a Sienna Miller Getty split? According to usmagazine, they are not rumors. She told them at the Hollywood Dominoes: VIP Launch in London that she was single at the the moment and perfectly happy about it and that it was nice to take a breather from the press's constant relationship scrutiny. She was reported to not take kindly to the public being made privy to the topless pictures that were taken of her last summer. To say that dating is difficult for celebrities would be a major understatement.

We noted in the pictures a day or so ago that Sienna Miller had a sassy look in her eyes on that day and looking back at the picture that we included in this article; she seems to be almost confidently defiant doesn't she?

ALICIA KEYS, KID ROCK PICTURES and MORE

Alicia Keys, Kid Rock, Uma Thurman and Pink were all part of the lineup of a German television show that believes in booking entertainment to fit any and all musical as well as visual tastes. There was something for everybody here from Kid Rock and Pink rocking hard only to be soothed and entertained by Uma and Alicia.

Uma Thurman paid homage to the fall season dripping in stylish beaded necklaces that layered over what appeared to be a large gold leaf at the neckline of her diaphanous black gown. The dress would have been perfect except for the knee high boots that looked too much like knee high stockings or knee socks. This unusual addition to the ensemble was visible where a peek at her pretty legs would have served better in my humble opinion.




Pink favored a less feminine look achieved with a modified, black and white pinstriped zoot suit with a ruched, short jacket and spike heel black patent leather (can't be sure if they were ankle boots or knee high) boots. Pink, never one to stick to the norm, at one point was riding what appeared to be a John Deere green and yellow lawn mower although I didn't spot the logo.

With the neckline of her elegant black gown dipping to the waist, Alicia Keys was the epitome of elegance. Knowing that this lily needed no gilding, she wore simple hoop earrings and no necklace.

PICTURES OF JESSICA ALBA REVEALING HER FRUGAL SHOPPING SKILLS

These pictures of Jessica Alba, revealing her earth mother side with baby stroller and all, were probably taken earlier in the fall as her feet were practically bare in thongs peeping from under her long denim skirt. When I came upon them, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to showcase this celebrity mom and give her credit for shopping in the discount stores even before it was common knowledge that the economy was not that great and bargain shopping might be a good idea.

One might think that celebrity mom, Jessica Alba, also proved her savvy shopping skills in her choice of basic black baby diaper bag that we see hanging on the handles of the stroller. Except, I believe that the diaper bag might be the Mommy Chic baby diaper that was part of the huge presentation of baby shower gifts that were given to her on the Tyra Banks show.


In that vein, would anyone like to play the "Name That Celebrity Baby Stroller" game?



Ok, imagine the buzzer just went telling you that time is out for you to guess what kind of stroller the pictures of Jessica Alba is pushing about Tar Jay on that day a few months ago. Here's the answer to our Celebrity baby stroller question; it's an Orbit. It was reported that she had an Orbit stroller in mocha, but in this pic the stroller looks black like the one in this photograph.



No, she did not pick up this upscale stroller at Target as this store does not carry this expensive brand.

BABY SURI'S TRIP TO THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM

Here are some photographs of baby Suri Cruise and mom after baby Suri may have become a little tired. One can only wonder if she was weary of posing for pictures or if she didn't consider a trip to the New York Metropolitan Museum to be nearly as much fun as playing in the park. In this photo she is still wearing the pewter shoes, black leggings and velour top and mom, Katie Holmes, is still in a cable knit short sleeve sweater so we can imagine that it's later in the day and the little girl may be ready for a rest.

SIENNA MILLER'S STYLE SHINES IN LONDON PHOTOS

Sienna Miller showed impreccable style and taste from the chic, sleeveless dress with zipper details right down to the toes of her basic black shoes that matched her black clutch purse and hose.


Photos were snapped of Sienna Miller as she arrived at Mossimans Belfry for the Hollywood Dominos VIP launch today (on November 07, 2008) in London, England. Showing a healthy amount of leg and lots of smiling enthusiasm she posed prettily before continuing to breeze by the onlookers.

JENNIFER GARNER'S BABY BUMP

Take a look at the beginning of what appears to be a baby bump under celebrity mom, Jennifer Garner's pale blue sweater. The large, round sunglasses may hide her eyes, but the days of camouflaging a pregnancy may have passed her by. Daughter, Violet, and friend are following closely while mom carries the backpack. At least the lady carrying the baby is smiling for the camera!

George Stephanopoulos and Wife Alexandra Wenthworth

Flashback to December 2003. Political commentator George Stephanopoulos and wife Alexandra Wenthworth were attending the premier of Cold Mountain. How can this guy look younger now than he did five years ago? It's amazing how he's kept his cute, baby boy look. Could it be the windswept hair that always looks like he was just riding his bike without a helmet or ran his fingers though it?

Karissa Shannon and Kristina Shannon - How Did I Miss this Pic?

How I let this picture of Karissa Shannon and Kristina Shannon as well as and Laura Beth and Heather Renee Smith checking out the wares at the Beach Bunny Swimwear Spring 2009 fashion show in Culver City, California during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week that was held at Smashbox Studios last month is beyond me. But for those who may have missed it, check out the gold sandals the girls are wearing. They fall right in line with the post that I just did on Karina Smirnoff and her strappy gold sandals!

KATIE and BABY SURI and MR. BEAR OUT FOR A STROLL

Katie Holmes and daughter Suri are seen out for a stroll on this fine fall day in their neighborhood in New York. The celebrity mom and daughter duo stopped off at a nearby park for a little outdoor fun. Once again, Suri was fashionably dressed in black leggings.




Today, instead of being bright as a button in red, she was sporting a brown velour smock style top and pewter or silver Mary Jane shoes. She was also manicured with some cute, red polish on her little fingernails that matches Berenstain Bear's perky red hat.
Far be it from me to question a celebrity's clothing choices, but you have to wonder if baby Suri came up with this outfit on her own or is the color combination of black and chocolate brown something trendy that was previously unacceptable?

KARINA SMIRNOFF - Identify the Gold Sandals and Pray for the Legs

Most of us can only wish for Karina Smirnoff legs, but the shoes are another thing altogether, IF you can identify them. These strappy gold designer sandals with (rhinestone?) buckles and ankle straps pull the polished red toes and amazing single shoulder red dress that Karina was wearing when posing for pictures with brunette beauty, Toni Braxton. But can you identify the designer of the shoes and evening bag?

The gold sandals cover more of her pretty celebrity feet than other styles that I have seen. They are similar to many of the top designer's creations, but there are unique differences like the charm, the buckles on the ankle straps, etc. The width of the straps compares to Stuart Weitzman gold python sandals but again, not quite the same.




If anyone wants to take a guess at identifying the brand of the strappy gold spike heels and gold evening clutch; go ahead take your best shot!

FALL FASHION TIGHTS

Fall fashions are in a constant state of flux, but you can always bet that tights will figure into the equation in some pattern, shape or form. Some years they lurk in the wings practically hanging their heads that they are good for little more than compression or support in the legs of professionals that have jobs that keep them on their feet for long hours at a time.

Then when you come around to a comfortable acceptance that they are good for layering under pants or boots for additional warmth in a pinch where black tights that go with anything is as good as it gets, out comes the latest in pantyhose tights in funky colors and patterns that haven’t been seen since the late 1960s when fishnet and windowpane stockings in crazy colors.

The history of tights goes way back but their most shining moment was in the days of flower power Haight Ashbury in the 60s was dominated by crazy outfits and out of this world fashion trends. There were young girls as well as grown women wearing cool, fashion tights under their mini-skirts that Twiggy and models of the day made so very popular without much emphasis on coordination. Plaids were lumped together with mod outfits and feather boas of contrasting colors that would give Liberace a headache, but there was method in the madness and somehow it all managed to work. We are still talking about the fashions worn in the era of Peace and Love so if nothing else; the styles were memorable.

The major complaint that was made about early fashion tights was that in the beginning before Lycra and Spandex came along was that by the end of the day the nylons were bagging in an unattractive manner at the knees. Even today, if you sit long enough you may find that your hosiery doesn’t spring back as quickly as you might like. Another fact is that most tights of days gone came before pantyhose was widely available. Whether you were trying to be sexy or not; your stockings were held up by a garter belt.

What I find funny is that every fall young girls head out to the discount stores to pick up the latest in hosiery in colors they are told are hip, trendy. They are fully convinced that they will not be able to properly dress without a particular pair and what is even more humorous is that they believe they are the first to appreciate tights as a fall fashion accessory.

GOTH MAKEUP IDEAS - EYE MAKEUP TIPS for the GOTHIC GIRL

There is a school of thought that any time is a good time for goth makeup ideas. Not being a person who likes the heavy feel of gothic makeup, I tend not to give it much thought until September or October in preparation for making appearances at fall harvest festivals and Halloween parties where wild eye makeup and hairstyles are the norm.

For those new to the scene, you might be a smug little novice to the realm of darkness and firmly hold the belief that the key to the successful application of goth makeup and eyeliner requires nothing more than lots of black eyeliner and shadow. So what if you are partially correct in your assumption; do not underestimate the imagination and artistry necessary to present yourself with a seamless and totally coordinated look from the top of your spiked hair to the tips of a beautiful pedicure with sharp, pointed toenails that have been painted with the blood red polish of your choosing.

There have been years when I had worn my hair bleached white for the summer and I took advantage of this time to use creative streaking with amazing colors for my hair. The hot pink or electric blue really looked cool with the platinum blonde in the background and the colors wouldn’t have been as eye catching on my dark black hair which resembles a raven’s wing in its natural state.

You may be amazed to find that gothic makeup tips for blondes and brunettes are worlds apart. There’s no rule that says that goth chicks with bleached blonde hair can’t use the same dramatic black eye makeup application ideas as ladies of the night with natural or dyed black hair, but it’s my honest opinion that blondes might explore the possibility of matching the colors of their eye shadow and liner to the neon streaks in their hairdo.

Black may be the color of choice for most goth makeup, but try purple, red, bold pink or even electric blue shadows and see what it does for your look. If it’s not your favorite look; so what? In the fall of the year there’s a party every night and you wouldn’t want to wear the same look more than once.

TRENDY, NEW WOMEN'S ANKLE BOOTS

At first glance, the trendy, new ankle boots for fall may not seem that evolved from the shoe booties that were so hot last fall. But, digging deeper you start to see the details that are going to make the new offerings so unique and fashionable you will be motivated to get out and make a few installments to your shoe closet's inventory.




As you can see, the use of metal studs, buckles and big zippers is in our faces. These babies might not make it through a metal detector, but they are zipping up and down the runways where stylish bomber jackets and messenger bags are carrying those metallic details all over the models' bodies.

For the stylish diva who maintains a wardrobe of leather bomber jackets, Roxy may be the brand to monitor. Cheap at less than $100 this cute faux leather jacket will leave you room to buy sexy, designer boots where inexpensive is not the best option.
The open toe ankle boots with a row of silver buckles up the side is simply crying out for beautiful toes fresh from a professional pedicure with flashy coats of eye catching polish.

PERMANENT EYELINER - Eyeliner Tattoos: Cool or Too Painful

I have really been considering permanent eyeliner but there a few things holding me back from jumping on board and getting my eyeliner tattoos done. First off there's the issue of pain (anybody that tells you that tattoos don't hurt at least a little, depending on the area of application, is lying to you!) and I'm a sissy when it comes to pain.

Go Here to See More

The idea of a tattoo artist working my wrist, my arm or my ankle is one thing, but the idea of burning sensations on my sensitive eyelid is slightly more daunting.



Why would a panty waist such as myself even consider getting an eyeliner tattoo?

EXCELLENT REASONS TO GET PERMANENT EYELINER


REASON 1. I am afraid that I'm going to have crepey (read: creepy) eyelids if I keep pulling them tight in the everyday process of eyeliner application.

REASON 2. I hate those smudgy raccoon eyes that must be dealt with the morning after. We don't always have it in us to practice proper skincare procedures at 2am, do we?

REASON 3. A tattoo would naturally be the best waterproof eyeliner ever!

So what's holding me back on getting tattoos on my eyelids?

EYELINER TATTOO NEGATIVES


REASON 1. The possibility of pain. I understand that some artists apply a numbing gel, but why do some of my friends say it hurt like hell and others say that the painkilling concoction does the trick?

REASON 2. I am told that the ink has a tendency to fade and the application of cover up eyeliner may be necessary to make your eyes always seem even and identical

REASON 3. I worry that what I want today in eyeliner fashions may go out of style and I'll be stuck with a Cleopatra eyeliner technique when the trends run toward a minimalist or natural look.

I would like to hear your opinions. Vote yes or no or whatever; just tell me what I should do before all of the elasiticity goes out of my eyelids!

Kate Spade Handbags and Wallets

I'm not waiting until I pick up on that telltale hint of fall. Kate Spade handbags tend to sell out and disappear from the marketplace only to show up on the arms of stunningly dressed females that outpaced me in the competition for the latest in stylish purses and wallets.


Last year I had my eye on Kate Spade black patent tote handbag except I couldn't find what I had in mind. I either waited too long and missed out or I dreamed that this bag existed and it was only available in my dreams. Of course, there might have been such a purse in 2006 that was not sold in 2007.

That would not be surprising in the least because when I see a stylish bag that I like, it tends to stay in my mind even if I forget exactly when or where I saw it.
You might ask if a particular purse made such an impression why I wouldn't make a beeline to the store and buy it immediately. The answer to that would be that it's rare that I buy a big ticket item like a Kate Spade handbag and wallet on impulse.

Occasionally, there are high quality Kate Spade knockoffs or imitations for a super cheap price (in comparison) that work fine for everyday use. If there are designer lookalike purses that don't cheat by pasting on a fake designer logo and that are nicely done; who am I to pass them by? Each winter, summer, spring and fall I will pick up one or two of the latest authentic designer purses (no matter how expensive and I have the credit card bills to prove it), cruise through the offerings of Kate Spade handbags, wallets and purses in online auctions.

If it's a bag that I truly love, I'm not too proud to buy a used one in excellent condition if the seller can prove that it's genuine. Fakes are fine, but don't try to slide one by me under the selling price of a real one.
