Blind Item
Posted on March 23, 2008 at 9:02 AM
Whenever Ted Casablanca has some time, he always write up these long winded blind items. And you’d think with pages and pages to read, I would be able to figure it out. But alas, I am lost yet again. See below and tell me who you think he is talking about. Oh and it isn’t Renee Zellweger, Tilda Swinton, or Catherine Zeta Jones. But they are all Oscar winner’s for supporting actresses. Is that a clue?
Browhilda Frown-Free has just about everything a once desperately ambitious, unknown actress could desire: fame, wealth, notorious love, Academy Award notice, great bone structure, fab hair, free cosmetic procedures for the taking – “everything but the freedom to love the one she’s (really) with. Don’t worry though, babes, Brow’s been down this fake-amour alley before. She’s a friggin’ pro at navigating the affectionless twists and turns of the overly photographed.
Howev, BFF’s latest man experience – “heady as it all may be – “has become slightly more than Browhilda’s used to, what with her past liaisons of coolly arranged get-togethers. You know the age-old ersatz Hollywood plan: A couple goes out for a red carpet whatever; then they go in for separate, much more private dalliances with their same-sex partners. Brow’s had this setup with almost every man she’s hooked up with before.
But Ms. F.F.’s latest dude – “who’s more than happy to bed every slobbering femme he can find – “has turned out to be far messier than Brow-babe would prefer. Not only does he womanize with indiscretion, he’s stupidly starting to make a loud and rather visible stink about Brow’s increased devotion to her current g-f. How does that Shakespearean saying go? Oh what a tangled guy web we weave, when at first we hetero deceive? Watch out, Brow, we be onto ya!

OK – so who is dating someone who is a playboy? And might potentially be gay? Here are the last few supporting actress winners:
- Jennifer Hudson
- Rachel Weisz
- Cate Blanchett
- Jennifer Connelley
- Marcia Gay Harden
- Angelina Jolie
- Judi Dench
- Kim Basinger
It can’t be any of those…can it?
Shopping In Malibu
Posted on March 23, 2008 at 8:49 AM
Denise Richards looked like she had money to burn during this most recent shopping trip with a pal. I HAVE to wonder if she bought all of this stuff for her new reality show. I see a camera man following her, but is that just regular paparazzi? And those shops aren’t cheap. If I had that many bags, it would be Target, Old Navy and maybe Esprit. But Lisa Kline and Ron Herman? Can anyone else make out what type the rest are?
Also in Malibu yesterday was Kate Beckinsale with her family. They made a stop to look at some bunnies. So cute!! I’m loving Kate’s outfit. Right up my alley. The other day someone left a comment on the Dove post and said that I dress very boring. And I DO — I know that. Solids and jeans… that’s about it for me. So this outfit is whispering in my ear…. “buy me“.

Happy Easter!
Posted on March 23, 2008 at 8:29 AM
What better way to celebrate Easter on a gossip site than with some church going celebrities? Miley Cyrus and her family attended Montrose Church’s Easter services and then headed to the Cheese Cake Factory in Pasadena. In one of the shots, Miley is eating McDonald’s french fries, so perhaps she needed a little snack before she went in for the ceremony.Last night, I colored eggs with my daughter for the first time who then proceeded to crush them all when I wasn’t looking. So my husband had to eat like 27 hard boiled eggs in order for me to justify the whole experience. We also made cupcakes and put peeps on top of them to get into the spirit. Today we are going to my in-laws where a full meal is just waiting for me already prepared. You have to love holidays.
What are your plans for the day? And if you don’t celebrate Easter – I want to wish you a Happy Sunday!

Underground NYC Launches Runway Series
Posted on March 23, 2008 at 6:16 AM
On March 20th, Underground NYC, the much talked about emerging designer marketplace and style venue in SoHo, kicked off its first installment of, Over Under, a monthly runway presentation, featuring the world’s most innovative designer collections. Over Under provides an open venue for underground design pioneers to most recognizable names in the industry, to express their most unique point of view at no cost to them. I couldn’t make it as I attended the Shinnyo-en Peace gala at Cipriani’s the same night. Instead, I sent Elyn and this is her summary of the night.
—
It was a very small show with only 25 or so pieces, representing the work of 4 different collections (Tara Jarmon, Nature Vs Future, Sinner/
Saint, Linda Loudermilk).
THE GOOD: The collections were all well edited & stood out as solid representations of the 4 different designer’s work, and they also worked very well together so the switch between design houses was not jarring. The accessories (Thea Grant Jewelry, Mink Shoes, PF flyers) were all lovely & innovative, but didn’t overshadow the focus of the show — the clothing. And the clothing itself was quite lovely. All the designers used a mix of colors & materials, and though there were some heavily constructed pieces they all veered towards a more fluid style in dresses, additionally (& this is a rare compliment) the collections were all wearable ‘as-is’ right off the runway!
THE BAD: They weren’t very clear about the switch from collection-to-collection, so there was some confusion about which designer’s collection we were watching. Also they never announced the actual beginning of the show, so we were a bit confused about whether the dry run was still going on or the show had begun. But all in all these glitches were MINOR compared to some of the major glitches I’ve seen at major fashion shows & did not distract from the clothing itself, and since this was their first show I’m sure these kinks will be corrected at the next show!
OUTAKE: I didn’t see a future Zac Posen in the mix, but I DID see collections that could easily be picked up by Sak’s, Neiman-Marcus or
Intermix, and do very well without the need to change from ‘runway’ to ‘real life’ (many designers show a collection in various extremes –
skirt lengths, skirt & shirt slits & sheerness of material — that they have to completely change or tone down to sell to store buyers) … & seeing 4 well crafted, distinct & wearable collections on the runway at once is a rare treat!
—————————–
Let me set the stage … I brought my friend (they let me know in the morning, it was no problem) & we showed up a bit early, so they were
still setting up when we walked in. The PR team & production team were super sweet, gave us some water (a yuuuummy Mango/Peach flavored & vitamin enriched water by Sonu who I think were one of the sponsors), & sat us in the front row. The also gave us little rubber
ducks to hold in case we left our seats — they gave everyone in the front row/reserved seats rubber ducks so the assistants would know
where to put us.
There were drinks downstairs, but we stayed locked in our seats (I was wearing 5″ platforms & when I sat down, I STAYED down), playing with our rubber ducks & we got a rousing version of “Rubber Ducky” started with the production team (no more sugar tonight for me
watched the run-through & while that was going on people were brought in & then the show started. There was a bit of confusion about
whether it was still a run-through for the first 2 dresses, but then we realized the show had officially begun, the photographers all
started clicking away & the room quieted down. I had room between me & the runway, so I sat on the floor to get better angles & a few
photogs followed me (once again, the Getty photographer, was totally helpful & one of the funnest people there!).
Since they kept it to the normal time for a fashion show (after all the hype pre-show, they usually last 30 minutes), the 4 collections
were edited to a few important pieces & it was done really well, with collections flowing together brilliantly!
Must- See PHOtos!










Looks like Jerry O’Connell was running low on garbage bags as he was photographed leaving a supermarket with a bag full. Here he is with wife Rebecca Romijn and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The pair were spotted shopping at Gelsons before heading out to meet some friends at a private Easter party in the hills. Doesn’t Rebecca seem like she would be a lot of fun to hang around with?
