Sadest thing of the day - Michelle Williams Opens Up About Missing Heath Ledger

We love Ozzie Osbourne quote about lady Gaga~! "Back Off"

During a recent interview, Ozzy Osbourne was asked what he thought about the new slew of artists in music today. Once again, he had no idea who Justin Bieber was, but he did know about Lady Gaga and how annoying she maybe be !

"I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She's getting to be too much, and she doesn't watch the exposure of her clothes. She's just too overexposed. She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I'm getting a bit sick of her. When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lamp shade or whatever. She needs to take a break, I think, for an hour or so. I love her, I think she's really, really entertaining, but she's doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else. The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn't calm it down. Who manages her? Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months — let people gain interest back. Let people want you, you know?"

WE TOTALLY AGREE !

One day : 2 big news : Was Carine Roitfeld fired ? Is Viginie Mouzat about to become the new Editor in chief of French Vogue ... ?

Rumor Number 1 : Was Carine Roitfeld Fired From Vogue?
Rumor Number 2 : Is Le Figaro's Fashion Director Virginie Mouzat Front runner for the Job??

Paris fashion world is going crazy... fashionistas are boycotting the famous Avenue Montaigne and are turning themselves into "fat-shionistas" because of the post-news depression ...
Carines is gone ... long gone ...
Ok Ladies , wipe your little eyes and expect a brand new day for french Fashion ! One Name : Virginie Mouzat ... This is the number one rumor lately and we must admit that we first didn't think about her for the position , but after all it would kinda make sense and we approve of Virginie for the position!
The Shocking thing about Carine leaving (erm erm , or being forced to leave) is that "No one knew about it—not even Emmanuelle Alt or Olivier Lalanne"... Weird ...

The reason no one knew? Because, according to our sources, Roitfeld did not resign—she was fired.

The chain of events that led up to the alleged firing, this way:
It appears that the Conde Nast-Carine Roitfeld fall-out was a long time coming. Our sources tell us the magazine's parent company was unhappy with all the bad press surrounding Roitfeld's alleged pay-for-play scandals—this year, alone—demanding huge sums of money for extracurricular consulting gigs and the enormous, public embarrassment of being banned from Balenciaga last season for abusing her position at Vogue. In the latter case, Roitfeld allegedly borrowed Balenciaga preview pieces and sent them to her client, Max Mara, to copy—"It wasn't the first time," one source tells us. "One [Balenciaga] precollection ended up, in its entirety, at Max Mara."

What do you think ?
and above all what do you think about Carine's successor? We kind of were expecting Emmanuelle Alt to take over the position ... a bit disappointed

10 years and then she goes... Carine Roitfled leaves Vogue Paris and will be missed...

10 years at Vogue Paris... 10 years during which we grew up with Carine Roitfeld...
10 years of fasion tips , 10 years of creating fashion, crating a style , a unique style ...
Carine Roitfeld took the sad decision to leave and go for some brand new adventures...
We can't really picture anyone else but the french godess of fashion to run the magazine...
If we had a guess, we'd say Anastasia Barbieri...
So sad ...
Only one thing to do: from now on read Nippon Vogue and trust Anna dello Russo

Christian Louboutin Has Never Worn High Heels—Well, Twice

Mr. Louboutin about wearing high heels:
"Never. Well, twice. I went to a party once where guys had to dress like girls. And another time I was making heels and I was trying to understand the balance, the center of gravity. It was very technical, so I can't say I've worn high heels for the excitement, or to feel like a woman."

What Kate Middelton's Wedding Gown could look like :

For WWD, 30 designers drawned sketches of what they would create for Kate Middelton's wedding dresse. here are some of them ( BTW , we truely think Angela Missoni was joking, or drunk ! )

*Karl Lagerfeld suggests a Chanel take on “the Victorian wedding dress, with a twist — high boots and open in the front.”
*“...In Kate I see the natural, radiant and self-confident attitude of today’s girls. For this, I can’t help but think of an embroidered, fluid-silhouette dress in precious fabrics that will help her make an everlasting impression.” — Alberta Ferretti

*“Something old: Victorian skirt. Something new: patchwork gown. Something borrowed: Queen Elizabeth’s veil. Something red: Elizabethan top, as red was the wedding color until 1900!” — Christian Lacroix

*“I admire the balance Kate Middleton strikes between elegant and contemporary with her unmistakable style. For her, I had in mind clean lines, soft shapes and classic touches such as the boat neckline and distinctive train.” — Frida Giannini, Gucci

*“I love the idea of mixing traditional opulence with a very clean aesthetic for this modern-day princess.” — Jason Wu
*“This dress was designed to enhance Kate Middleton’s beauty through precious fabrics. The clean and contemporary lines, never redundant and beyond all specific stylistic periods, give her an eternal image of grace and elegance.” — Angela Missoni

*“The royal wedding will be magical. Kate’s dress should be a modern mix of the traditional and contemporary.” — Monique Lhuillier

The photo isn't exactly oozing warm wishes and happy holidays. In fact it's the exact opposite: cold, dreary and elitist.

Nicole richie and Benji are finally Married

Because one wedding dress is never enough for the rich and famous, Nicole Richie wore THREE dresses on her wedding day.

But for the special walk down the aisle, the 29-year-old wore a gorgeous Marchesa wedding gown.

The dress, reportedly inspired by Grace Kelly's wedding gown, made Richie look like a princess.

The gown featured some intricate lace detail above and a skirt made from over 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals.

Richie then changed into another Marchesa dress for the dinner reception and then into another Marchesa dress for the after-party.

Nicole looked amazing and magazines worldwide are picking up the story and the photos of the special occasion.

Congrats to the newlywed couple!

Elle Fanning In Couture At Age 12

Dakota Fanning's little sister Elle is already making a name for herself in the fashion world and she's not even a teenager yet!
The 12 year old arrived to the premiere of Somewhere in Los Angeles this wearing an adorable dress and embellished shoes both from the fall 2010 Valentino Couture collection.
That's right, she's barely hit double digits and wearing couture when actresses twice her age struggle to get any big name designer to loan them red carpet looks.
Jealous!

Blake Lively will star the upcoming Chanel Handbags campaign

Back in July, Blake Lively and Karl Lagerfeld were snapped stepping out of the Ritz Paris together, and in September, her then-boyfriend Penn Badgley told The Cut: "He [Lagerfeld] and my girlfriend have become incredibly close. It's bizarre; I can't believe that we're just hanging out with Karl Lagerfeld." Sounds like the friendship has paid off: reports just surfaced that Lively will star in an upcoming Chanel handbag campaign, which she was just in Paris shooting. The ads are expected to launch early next year.

HAND IN HAND - Just so cute!
