Celebrity Style: Jessica Stam French shoe brand Repetto celebrated the launch of its Repetto Foundation last night, and model Jessica Stam was among the fabulously dressed guests. Usually, the mix of metallic and ruffles has the potential to be a fashion tornado, but Jessica manages to look playful and chic in her Zsa Zsa frock.
This morning we showed you the latest cover of OK! magazine, featuring Britney happily posing with the boys. Britney hired photographer Dani Brubaker to take the photos in November for private use. At the time, Britney neglected to sign a confidentiality agreement about the photos. Brubaker sent out a press release saying the photos were not for sale and wrote to Britney's fansite breatheheavy.com that she would never sell the photos because it would compromise her integrity. Obviously Brubaker had a change of heart, putting them on the market and even telling OK! about how loving Brit was with her kids. So tell us — was it out of line to release the photos?
Tara Reid looked a little (okay, a lot) worse for the wear after a night out in London this week. She stumbled out of the nightclub Mahiki in her fur coat, and was barely able to hold herself up before pouring herself into a cab and heading to a friend's house. It was a sloppy scene to say the least. Considering those scary, skinny photos of her in a bikini from last month, methinks Tara's tolerance may not be what it used to be. She recently talked to OK! magazine about her weight (it's fine!) and party-girl ways (nonexistent!), here are highlights:
On that party-girl reputation: "What have I ever really done? Dance on a table? Who doesn’t drink with their friends and have a good time? I don’t understand why people punish others for being happy. . . . If I have a drink in my hand, it doesn’t make me an alcoholic. If I want a glass of wine, I want a glass of wine. I shouldn’t be afraid of it because of what the media might say. Anything you do, you’re screwed. That’s the lesson I’ve learned."
On her weight: “I’m not too thin. . . . I go up 10 lbs., I go down 10 lbs. . . . I was thin for a movie that I just finished [the upcoming horror film Vipers]. Now they’re going to see me and say I’m too fat because I’ve gained 10 lbs. . . . I can’t win!"
While I'm sure it's true that it's hard, especially for Tara, to get positive feedback in Hollywood, she's not looking so healthy these days. And as for her wild ways . . . well, at least she's not ashamed to say she likes to have a good time.
Do Tell: Would You Do Anything Differently? Tony Parker and Eva Longoria have unfortunately had a rough start to their marriage. In case you've missed all the headlines, Tony's been accused of cheating on his wife within days of saying "I do." Since this is all speculation of course, they've been going about their daily business like nothing ever happened; although, who knows what's happening behind closed doors!
Amy Winehouse may have caused a stir by vacationing in Barbados with her ex-boyfriend, but we're more interested in the new hairdo she was sporting back in the UK. Not only did she ditch her signature beehive, but she decided to go in a completely new, blonde, direction. Maybe she's working on staying off the lists for worst hair and worst dressed for 2008. We're not so sure this is an improvement at all, but how do you feel about Amy's new look?
P.S. Check out Amy's random T-shirt featuring vintage Johnny Depp.
Even though Orlando Bloom wasn't attracting quite as many b*tches as he does at the dog park, he was still looking pretty cute and comfy out with a friend for lunch in LA yesterday. After a rough end to last year with a car accident, Orlando's got a wide-open schedule for now. He's been working nonstop for the past few years and now it's time for a break in his LA mansion that his neighbors just love. He recently painted it gunmetal gray, which is certainly an aggressive color choice. Pleasant for the neighbors? Maybe not. But I guess Orlando loves it.
Mini Me: Julianne Moore and Liv Helen Freundlich The Broderick boys aren't the only look-a-likes running the streets of New York lately. Actress mum Julianne Moore picked up daughter Liv Helen Freundlich and a friend from school on Tuesday afternoon.
Rihanna bundled up for her appearance on The Late Show and looked perfectly chic while waving to her New York fans. She kept things simple in all black but mixed patterns and textures to create a unique look.
