TORI SPELLING AND DEAN IN TROUBLE

Source: Known People Added: 1 day ago

They’ve always seemed like a solid couple, but recent footage from their reality TV show suggests Tori Spelling and Dean Sheremet’s marriage may be in trouble. Clips from season five of “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood” reveal that tears, tension and screaming matches have become common in their once-cozy household, according to Life & Style. "What changed with me?" Dean pleads with his wife in the footage that was filmed last year. "It's like you got more and more unhappy and angry," while Tori cries back to her husband. "I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much." Apparently, Dean is not the attentive man he once was as he has been spending a lot of his time motorcyle racing, leaving his “90210” star wife left home alone to tend to the kids. However, according to an insider, "She won't leave Dean right now. It would be very embarrassing for her and her family. She's stuck."

Has Sandra Bullock fallen victim to the Best Actress Oscar curse already

Source: NY POST Added: 1 day ago

It wasn't even 48 hours ago that I worried for the future of Sandra Bullock's marriage in light of fellow Best Actress Oscar winner Kate Winslet filing for divorce. See, it's become rather common for women who snag the top female acting Academy Award to split from their boyfriends or husbands not long afterwards. Today, InTouch Weekly is reporting that Sandra's husband, Jesse James, has been cheating on his wife for the past 11 months! According to the magazine, Jesse has been sleeping with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee since Sandra began shooting her Oscar-winning film "The Blind Side" in Atlanta. It all began when Michelle innocently contacted Jesse about a modeling job at his company and Jesse allegedly replied to the e-mail personally. “He started saying, ‘Do you want to hang out,'" Michelle tells InTouch. After repeated advances on his behalf, Michelle said she traveled to Jesse's West Coast Choppers in LA, and following a brief tour, they ended up on his couch. “He wanted to watch movies, but I asked him, ‘What’s going on with you and Sandra?’” Jesse was evasive. “He said, ‘She doesn’t live here. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it.’” According to Michelle, she entered the relationship because Jesse led her to believe he was single. “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,” Michelle tells In Touch. Strong morals in check, Michelle began having unprotected sex with Jesse, who she refers to as Vanilla Gorilla because he was so "well-endowed." Now, I wouldn't typically lend much credence to reports like this one, which is perfectly timed at the height of Sandra's popularity. But the actress just canceled her appearance at "The Blind Side's" UK premiere at the last minute. A spokeswoman for Warner Bros. told UKPA that "unforeseen circumstances" were behind the last-minute cancelation. Personally, I'm hoping this is just some tatted-up famewhore's desperate attempt to mooch off Sandra's limelight. However, if it turns out that Jesse did in fact cheat, Sandra would become the Oscar-winning actress with the smallest gap between win and split. The previous titleholder, Gwyneth Paltrow, broke up with Ben Affleck less than two months after she wrapped her hands around the golden guy.

Oprah Winfrey on Trial

Source: iVillage Added: 1 day ago

When you're the most influential woman in media, you can make a book an overnight bestseller -- or kill someone's career in one fell swoop. And the woman who's putting Oprah Winfrey on trial claims that she did just that. Nomvuyo Mzamane, the former headmistress of Oprah's South African Leadership Academy for Girls, filed a lawsuit against the media mogul back in October. Mzamane claims that Oprah destroyed her career and reputation by blaming her for the sexual abuse allegations against the school that surfaced in 2007. Winfrey's lawyers tried to have the case dismissed, saying that the talk show host's negative comments were simply a statement of opinion -- but a federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Mzamane has enough evidence to make Oprah stand trial. The trial will take place in Philadelphia beginning on March 29. Oprah is expected to spend two weeks on the stand, defending statements such as, "It was my intention by putting somebody in charge who was African, and was female, I believe that (Mzamane) would care as much for these girls as I do myself. I'm sorry I was let down." Abuse of young girls is shockingly common in Africa, and Winfrey "cleaned house" by firing staff members after her school became part of the problem. The Leadership Academy now has more than 300 students and has inspired a heartwarming celebrity trend: Madonna is launching a girls' school in Malawi, and Angelina Jolie is funding a girls' school in Afghanistan. Hopefully they'll learn from Winfrey's mistakes, and keep a close eye on how the students are being treated.

Bachelor Revelations on 20 20

Source: iVillage Added: 2 day ago

ABC's promos for The Bachelor have a long history of insulting our intelligence. Remember the clip of Tenley Molzahntelling Jake Pavelkashe's pregnant? Which turned out to be a tossed off joke? So I hardly reacted to ABC's tease about its 20/20 special,Inside The Bachelor: Stories Behind The Rose--which promised "the most shocking and memorable moments in Bachelor history" and "some never before seen Bachelor surprises." But of course I watched the show anyway (just in case), and I'm here to say: They delivered—to an extent. True, we got nothing more on what really happened between Rozlyn Papaand the mysterious producer who lost his job over her. But I give creator and executive producer Mike Fleiss credit for confirming some long- suspected, behind-the-scenes details. Some interesting tidbits: 1. Why Jake picked Vienna Girardi: In a voiceover that accompanied a shot of Jake kissing Vienna in the surf, co-hostChris Connelly explained that "Tenley just didn't seem to be able to unfasten Jake's seatbelt quite like Vienna…Proof to some of a time-honored Bachelor love lesson: 'Lust conquers all.'" 2. There are two totally private, camera-free rooms in the mansion. Former Season 4 contestant and ABC special correspondent Melissa Rycroft showed viewers one of them, the master bathroom, where she said "we would get ready together for dates and rose ceremonies." She also revealed that "we were our own chefs, our own housekeepers, and our own makeup artists.” Touring the bedrooms, we saw the shockingly small closet that five women had to share. For two months, the contestants were in "total isolation from the outside world. No laptops, no ipods, no tvs, no phones." 3. Host Chris Harrison used to think that his scripted lines were stupid. (Hey, me too!) "For a while I fought it," he said. "I’m like, it’s really driving me crazy. Everyone knows there’s one rose. This is stupid. I don’t want to say, ‘This is your final rose tonight.’ But now I embrace it." 4. Maybe this was common knowledge at the time, but it still came across as shocking: Season 1 BacheloretteTrista and Ryan Sutter's wedding cost nearly four million dollars, and the couple pocketed a cool million on top of that. Six years later, they're living a much more private life in Colorado, where he's a firefighter, and she's a stay at home mom to their 2-year-old, Max, and 8-month-old, Blakesley. 5. Good TV trumps everything. After a clip from Season 1, when a contestant's panic attack cut her exit interview short (an ambulance was called), Fleiss said, "We weren’t sure going into the series whether or not the women would really care, whether they would really compete for the love of one guy who was dating all these women at the same time. And once we started seeing girls hyperventilating and what not, we knew it was working." And on his seemingly heartless decision to let Rycroft get dumped on national TV, he said, "We’re making a television show here that’s watched by millions of viewers faithfully, and to deprive them of that moment would have been unfair." 6. But at least he admitted—finally someone has admitted!—that these contestants aren't necessarily there to find romance."We know that there are women and men not looking for love but angling for their big show biz break," he said. "Whether or not someone is there for the right reasons, you really don’t know until they start crying. If they’re crying about losing a guy, or happy to be in love with a guy, then you know that they’re actually sincere." Connelly's follow-up: "Of the 25 women you choose, how many of them have to be there for the right reasons for it to be a good show?" Answer: "About half." 7. Another revealing exchange came when Connelly asked, "Why do so few women just walk away?" He put this excellent and puzzling question to a relationship therapist. "[Why doesn't anyone say], 'He’s not for me. I’ve met him. Nice guy. Don’t want to marry him.' We don’t see that much of that." "It's the group dynamic," said the therapist. "People are all geared around 'how can I stay,' and 'how can I win?' So it seems very counterintuitive to think, 'How can I get out of here?'” But the most intriguing answer to that question came from Rycroft. "This is gonna sound terrible, but I wasn’t attracted to Jason [Mesnick]," she said. "If I were to meet him on the street and be single, I don’t think that we would ever date. But put in the circumstances that we were, I thought he was the greatest thing to drop from heaven…It’s amazing what happens once you step foot through the walls of that mansion and you are now consumed with this new reality. And it kind of warps you a little bit. It turns very much into a competition. You’re in it to win it, but you’re in it because 'I think I love him and I don’t want to be rejected.'" Later, Season 6's Byron Velvick echoed the sentiment. "I was in love [only] in so much as we were living in a fantasy world," he said of his Bachelor romance with Mary Delgado. "The whole thing is surreal. The dates are surreal. I’m seeing her in the absolute best light. She’s seeing me in the absolute best light. And at the same time, it is a proposal, but she doesn’t really know me." The romance ended disastrously, when their volatile (and sometimes violent) relationship was splashed throughout the tabloids. 8. The producers have changed their ideas about the key to the show's success. "The initial thought [was] that we had to have real love and a marriage," Fleiss said. "Now we know that’s not necessarily true. It’s really based on whether or not [the viewers] like the guy and hate the girls…They don’t need to hate all the girls, but we need our fair share of villains every season. And now we’re very careful in our casting to make sure we have girls that the audience is going to root for and root against." He also copped to intentionally drawing out any negative drama. "If there's a conflict, we don't want people hugging it out in the first 15 minutes." 9. Ever wondered whether the contestants are drinking heavily? Well, yeah, they are. "Champagne, tequila, beer, red wine, white wine," said Fleiss. "I don’t think it plays any more of a role than it does in dating situations just in general. It plays a role." And Estella Gardinier of Season 4 jokingly described her average day like this: "Wake up. Go to the margarita machine. Take a nap. Go to the margarita machine. Say hi to the girls. Go to the margarita machine." 10. And the question we've all been afraid to ask: Do these Bachelors really have sex with the women?"There is sex," said Fleiss. "There’s not a ton of it. I think the average is, the guy will end up having sex with three women during the course of the show." But wait, it gets skeevier: "Who had the hottest batting average?" asked Connelly. "That’s my man Bob Guiney," Fleiss replied. "I think he was five and a half." "I heard they called me the Kissing Bandit," Guiney said. "Ultimately it was like you know just trying to figure out if you had a romantic connection." Uh-huh, sure. Still gross, Bob.

It certainly makes me afraid for when my son becomes a teenager. If they can keep a relationship with a Hollywood superstar a secret, imagine what else you don't know? Okay, Alexa Vega, of 'Spy Kids' fame, wasn't playing herself but she was playing Axl's secret girlfriend. A girlfriend that on the surface seemed way too good to be true. I certainly didn't trust her. The remainder of the episode spotlighted an all too common phenomenon. What happens when kids watch scary movies at too young of an age.

On March 9, Jessica Simpson premiered her new single, “Who We Are,” on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show in Los Angeles. On the show, Simpson spoke with Seacrest about writing the song after traveling the world and seeing the many different women who live in it. “I was so moved by the eight cultures I explored for my new show. The women I met were so incredibly different in their customs and traditions but there was a common thread between them in their beauty. I was inspired to write the ...

New research suggests that children......

Source: Jezebel Added: 9 day ago

• New research suggests that children as young as three are capable of understanding advertising and feeling the social pressure to consume certain brands. Brand visibility can even determine whether children consider others desirable playmates.However, kids don't care what clothes their friends wear - just what kind of snacks they have. "What matters are toys and soft drinks and fast food," said the lead researcher. • Maternal morality rates have nearly tripled in California in the last decade, and they have risen elsewhere across the US. One doctor predicts that as many as half of these deaths are preventable. Complications including hemorrhage, DVT-caused pulmonary emboli and uncontrolled blood pressure can all be treated if caught in time. •  NBC announced yesterday that they're renewing the contract to air Miss USA and Miss Universe for the next three years. Miss America, however, was dropped last week from TLC and is looking for a new home. •  A family court in Australia has approved the sterilization of a disabled 11-year-old girl. The girl, identified only as Angela, experienced seizures when she had her period, which lead to judge to conclude that a hysterectomy would be in the child's best interest. •  World Cup organizers predict that up to 40,000 prostitutes will flock to South Africa to service spectators. They fear that many of the sex workers will be impoverished children recruited from all over the world, especially Eastern Europe. Davis Bayever, South Africa's deputy chair of the country's Central Drug Authority, says they will attempt to stem the tide by rigorous screening to identify those trying to enter the country illegally. •  According to a new study in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, many women are having healthy breasts removed with no clear benefit. The study reviews data on 108,000 women who underwent mastectomy, including 9,000 who chose to remove a healthy breast along with the cancerous one. It found that for most women, having a healthy breast removed after a cancer diagnosis had no effect on long-term survival. •  A new test for ovarian cancer will become available today. OVA1 was shown to correctly flag 92% of cancers, versus current detection methods, which can only find 72%. •  We often discuss the gender-based wage gap, but according to a recent report, there is an equally depressing pay gap for women of color. They found that single black and Hispanic women have a median wealth of $100 and $120 respectively, compared to single white women, who have a median wealth of $41,500. Check out Feministing for a full list of statistics. •  There may be new hope for women with low sexual desire, thanks to a new drug called flibanserin that was originally developed as an antidepressant. But "research demonstrates that relationship issues are far more important in predicting women's sexual desire than are hormone levels. Before women seek medical treatments, they should consider psychological treatment," counsels professor of psychology Laurie Mintz. •  In 2009, the amount of money spent on cosmetic procedures dropped another 2%, down to $10.5 million. This is the second year in a row that the number of surgical and nonsurgical procedures have declined, a figure that is most likely explained by the recession. Although the number of boob jobs dropped 22%, breast implants remained the most popular "improvement," followed by liposuction. • In 1978, convicted serial killer Rodney Alcala appeared on the television show "The Dating Game." CNN asked a crime expert to watch his performance on the show. Criminal profiler Pat Brown explains Alcala's win: "He watched the game and he gave those answers and he won, so he learned some tricks. But a psychopath's true nature comes seeping through... Here is a man portraying himself as a desirable young man when he is a violent sexual predator of children." • The coroner leading the inquest into the death of the first female British soldier killed in Afghanistan found that Corporal Sarah Bryant was unlawfully killed. Bryant, along with three of her colleagues, was killed when her Land Rover ran over a batch of explosives and "crumpled inwards." They had previously requested another vehicle - one better fortified - but they were turned down. •  Doctors believe they may be one step closer to developing a new vaccine to prevent malaria in pregnant women. • Researchers from Kansas State University have found - rather counter-intuitively - that the availability of supermarkets increases the risk for obesity for women in small cities. Women living in rural and metropolitan areas did not show the same pattern. •  A study has concluded that home abortions with the drug RU-486 are safe up to 63 after conception — previous studies had only looked at safety up to 49 days. • Experts say "mean girl" behavior can begin well before the teen years — even before girls learn to talk. Says Rachel Simmons, author of a book on bullying, "They close their eyes and put their hands over their ears when they're upset with you. That's their version of withdrawing from you." • The CDC says 21% of all women, and 48% of black women, are infected with genital herpes, which is "a really important reason to use condoms on a consistent and correct basis with all of your partners." • Somewhat related: California regulators will consider a petition Thursday to mandate condom use and STD testing for porn actors. • A six-step psychological treatment for low sexual desire in women increased desire by an average of 30% in one study, without the side effects of chemical treatments like testosterone. • Another possible treatment for waning libidos: sleep. One in four Americans is "often too tired to have sex." • Men who beat their partners tend to overestimate how common their behavior is, and the more they abuse, they more they overestimate. The study, which was conduced by the University of Washington, looked at 124 men enrolled in treatment programs for domestic violence. They found that the more violent the man, the more he tried to justify his behavior by assuming it is a common occurrence among other couples.

Lindsay Lohan Suing Over E-Trade Ad

Source: im not obsessed Added: 9 day ago

According to the New York Post, Lindsay Lohan is suing the financial company E-Trade over an ad that uses her name. The ad is two babies talking via computer; the girl baby is upset about the boy baby not calling the night before. She asks if he was spending time with another "milkaholic" baby named Lindsay. Lindsay's lawyer explained the lawsuit to the Post: "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Ovadia said. "They used the name Lindsay," Ovadia said. "They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan." Apparently Lindsay wants the ad taken off the air and $100 million: $50 million for exemplary damages and another $50 million for compensatory damages. E-trade claims Lindsay is a popular baby name and is the name of someone on their account team. The lawyer cites celebrities like Madonna and Oprah who are known on a first name basis. I see one problem with this: Lindsay is a much more common name than either Madonna or Oprah. Take a look at the commercial: What do you think: does Lindsay have a case? Photos by INF

Japanese Politicians Not Happy with apos Cove apos Oscar Victory

Source: Fish Bowl L.A. Added: 9 day ago

Add another Oscar critic to the pile. Kazutaka Sangen, the mayor of the Japanese city of Taiji -- site of the Oscar-winning documentary film "The Cove" -- took to the media yesterday to attack the film's victory in the Best Documentary category at the Oscars. "This film has mistakes of fact," he said at a press conference. "I'm surprised that it won the award even though its content is not truthful." The Cove documents the mass slaughter of dolphins for meat, which is then sold to the Japanese market under the guise of whale meat. Variety reports that Sangen's press conference may also have had something to do with The Cove's upcoming Japanese release -- which will happen this summer by Medallion Media. But Sangen said, "(Theaters) with common sense will call off screenings. We intend as a town to tell the truth about the dolphin fishery, both domestically and internationally." Yoshinobu Nisaku, the governor of Wakayama Prefecture, in which Taiji is located, said, "Criticizing this business, which has been contributing to the livelihood of Taiji for a long time, with incorrect information and one-sided value judgments, is not the way of a gentleman."

Comedian Kathy Griffin did not hold back from mocking former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin during her show in Anchorage on Friday night. Griffin even had Palin's foe, the father to her 19-year-old daughter Bristol Palin's child, Levi Johnston, escort her on stage! Of course, this wasn't the first time Griffin, 49, and Johnston, 19, spent time together, as the comedian brought him as her date to the Teen Choice Awards and told Time that she and Johnston share a real bond, saying "I just have so much in common with Levi. We can talk for minutes." According to PopEater, Griffin, had actually invited Palin to attend the show and"showed up at Palin's home in nearby Wasilla to leave a note inviting (her)."To no one's surprise, Palin, 46, did not take up her offer. When Griffin noticed that Palin likely wasn't in the crowd and asked the audience to look out for anyone doing a pageant wave.

She s not involved in this collection......

Source: Jezebel Added: 10 day ago

"She's not involved in this collection," said Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah just before his show commenced this afternoon, Paris time. He was referring, of course, to "artistic adviser" Lindsay Lohan, whose future at Ungaro had long been in doubt. [WWD] Rather than attend the Oscars, as she had planned, Anna Wintour stayed in Paris to watch the rest of the collections. So that whole my-schedule's-tight, three-days-in-Milan thing was just a practical joke? [FWD] Madonna took Adam Senn, that model from The City, to some Oscar parties. [P6] An article in the London Observer last April about the under-representation of models of color on the runways has become the subject of both criminal and civil defamation complaints brought by Yves Saint Laurent and its head designer, Stefano Pilati. Writer Paul Harris repeated comments that Pilati made to the Washington Post's Robin Givhan in 2007. Pilati said, "You can't find [black models] that are beautiful and with the right proportions." Pilati did not dispute the accuracy of the quote at the time, perhaps because he felt the Post had included appropriate context — Pilati was also quoted as saying, "To me, it is a matter of proportions and the bodies I choose. My fit model was a black model. When I wanted to translate what I put on her, it was a disaster. It would need 13 times more work in the atelier to modify it to put on a more Caucasian anatomy" — or perhaps because the United States' first-amendment protections mean any case would have been very unlikely to succeed. [WWD] Naomi Campbell is planning a humanitarian mission to Haiti to attempt to rehabilitate her image see first-hand the work of White Ribbon, the maternal health charity she supports. [NYDN] Campbell will also participate in a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to celebrate International Women's Day. [SMH] Rumor has it that Kate Moss told Jude Law he can't bring Sienna Miller to her Alice-in-Wonderland-themed Easter party. Moss is friends with Rhys Ifans, and doesn't see why he should have to spend the evening with a woman who "broke his heart," sources say; why it would be any less awkward for him to spend the evening with the actor currently fucking the woman who broke his heart is unexplained. Sadie Frost, who happens to be Law's ex-wife, and Jamie Hince have tried to convince the supermodel to relent. [ContactMusic] Sophie Dahl connects her "control-freak" micromanagement (she makes the bed while her husband, Jamie Cullum, is still in it, and even directs the soundtrack for her new cooking show) with her unstable childhood. Her mother, Teresa Dahl, was an alcoholic and a drug addict who overdosed in 1997. "It's chicken and egg," explains the cookbook author and ex-model. "I don't come from a conventional family who lived in one house their whole life. I love being organised. Even as a child I was a list-maker. I am still a list-maker. I still have a Filofax. I don't have a BlackBerry or iPhone. I like having something tangible." [ToL] Sherry Horman, who directed the adaptation of model Waris Dirie's memoir Desert Flower, says she auditioned over 1,200 women before settling on Liya Kebede, whom she didn't even realize is, like Dirie, a successful model from Eastern Africa (Kebede is Ethiopian, Dirie is Somali). At a screening, Dirie said, "I'm happy with the movie. Liya is fantastic." [WWD] Hurt Locker actor Anthony Mackie's Academy Award tuxedo was the subject of some debate last night, when both Calvin Klein and Burberry sent out press releases crowing about his outfit's provenance. Calvin Klein later retracted theirs. Did someone have a last-minute change of heart? [WSJ] Over the course of a single lunch, Jean-Paul Gaultier exclaimed his disgust at the relationship of mutually reinforced greed between fashion houses and celebrities, and enjoyed eating his favorite cake, which is "like the fart of a nun." Also, he says Guy Ritchie wore nothing under his kilt when he married Madonna, and is hung. [ToL] Taylor Momsen has serious raccoon eyes in the New Look spring ads. [DailyExpress] There are reports that over the weekend, up to 50 people turned over trash cans and threw smoke bombs on N. 6th St., the main drag of hipsterriffic Williamsburg. The damage appears to have been minor; two panes of American Apparel's window were smashed. [Free Williamsburg] Hadley Freeman's little rant about why models should stick to modeling would be entertaining enough, in a glib kind of way, if only it didn't include a little dig at Karen Elson, who recently announced she would be releasing an album. Elson's talent is self-evident; although for obvious reasons "model" is the kind of career designation that tends to follow one, binding Elson, or any other woman, to the fashion industry forever when she has worked so hard to create opportunities for herself outside it seems mean-spirited. [Guardian] Especially when what we really ought to be exercised about are celebrity fashion lines. Jade Jagger (who, okay, used to model but only because she was already famous) is still showing hers, which is named "Jezebel" and mainly features t-shirts with designs on them. [Style.com] "I don't want to turn into one of those women with a power-dressing fur, heels and a glossy blow-dry. I'd feel as if I was playing a character...I'm quite formulaic. I've usually got a bit of leg on show, with a boxy layer on top, and if you see me in a Breton stripe, it's because I didn't know what to wear that day." — Alexa Chung, voted the best-dressed woman of 2009 by British Vogue readers, on moving to to New York and her style. [ToL] Vanessa Paradis, currently the face of Chanel's Rouge Coco lipstick, will also advertise Chanel's Cocoon handbag. [WWD] Isabel Marant showed a collection that was heavy on the sequins and leather, leading some to wonder if the French designer, renowned for her taste, had entered bad Balmain territory. [ToL] Colin McDowell on Alexander McQueen: "Gothic horror always hovered over his runways as a reminder that life is cruel — especially, perhaps, for women — but in that cruelty lies a strange, compulsive beauty...McQueen had more in common with Diaghilev and Cecil B DeMille than with Vionnet or Balenciaga. He was always about the grand idea, yet he never quite closed the gap between the singer and the song." [ToL] Meanwhile, Gareth Pugh, via his PR agency, has "vehemently denied" that he has been in talks to become Alexander McQueen's next creative director. [Telegraph] Carolina Herrera says one of her favorite books is Pride and Prejudice. Her tastes in music run to Beyoncé and Beethoven. [Independent] At his show in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld confirmed he will shoot the next Pirelli calendar. He'll take haute-pinup shots of some of the world's best-known models in his studio this April, because, the Kaiser explained, "it's too obvious to have a beach setting." [WWD] Robin Givhan has noticed that many fashion houses (Burberry, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana) live-streamed their shows this season. Givhan wonders if this move will lead to mere plebs ("as opposed to fashion savants") "scratching their heads" in confusion at the designers' high-concept flights of fancy. Somehow, I think we'll survive early exposure to next season's skirts. [WaPo] Here is a picture of Phoebe Philo on the cover of the new magazine The Gentlewoman, sister title of Fantastic Man. [WWD] Philo's second runway show at the helm of Céline was heralded a success. The Wall Street Journal called it "precise" and praised her restrained use of color and lessened reliance on leather, while Suzy Menkes, also using the p-word (three times), wrote, "Ms. Philo proved her worth. This was 21st-century fashion for a woman, by a woman, with all the confident modernity and emotional understanding that implies." [WSJ, NYTimes] Peta says that it has convinced Nike-owned brand Cole Haan to stop using exotic skins in its footwear. [DailyFinance] The Fort Lauderdale art museum is the latest stop for the traveling exhibit of Edward Steichen's fashion photographs from the 1920s and 30s. [AP] For something completely different, Paris boutique Colette is exhibiting some of Olivier Zahm's super sexay photos. [WWD] Lanvin will open its third U.S. store this June, and it will be in New York. Alber Elbaz, who didn't attend either of the brand's two previous American openings, at the Palm Beach store and at the Las Vegas location that opened its doors just last week, will make an appearance.
