Chelsea Handler

Watch out late night, there’s a new lady in charge! The ratings are going up as more and more people tune into the E! Network. Why? Because, Chelsea Lately is on! Giving her audience the latest celeb news with a bit of sarcasm in-between, Chelsea Handler is best at leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. Let’s not forget the fact that she’s not ashamed to make a few jokes about herself.

But, Handler is more than just a talk show host. She’s an actress, stand up comedian and a best selling author. She even puts the jokes aside to go on more…

Fashion is a necessity, but one doesn’t realize how much damage it cam cause the earth. Most of us don’t know that 17 to 20 percent of all industrial air pollution comes from the treatment of fabric. This makes the textile industry the third biggest consumer and contaminator of water on the planet.  It is shocking news, but every bad news has a good. Designers such as Costello Tagliapietra and Lauren Bush, are going eco-friendly, designing their clothing to save the earth and help people.

Costello Tagliapietra’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection consisted of dresses in fabulous hues. The colors were inspired by the natural environment- Grecian goddesses, curve-complimenting ideal for a summer night. The best part of his collection, besides the beauty, is that half of the dresses incorporated AirDye taffeta. The process of AirDye consists of the color being dyed inside rather than on the fabric. Dyes are transferred from recycled paper onto fabric from used dyes and toners. The process can be done on chiffon, jersey, satin and any fabric with synthetic fibers. Each dress dyed saves 45 gallons of water, 95 megajoules of energy and 3 kilograms of greenhouse gases. Though the process may be difficult to understand, the numbers show more…

Roman Polanski’s ominously dark cloud of a film does what it sets out to do – which is to say, set the stage for a cat-and-mouse thriller in the form of a political scandal – but accomplishes little else.
 
The movie has a few major kinks, most of which seem easily avoidable, making the errors even more glaringly unforgivable. Most noticeably, Kim Cattrall (as Adam Lang’s mistress) is completely out of place in the all-English ensemble drama. Her accent is muddled at best (something like a Bostonian doing a hideous Scottish accent) and it manages to kill her performance and detract from the plot.
 
Olivia Williams (as Ruth Lang) has a similar but different problem, in that her dialogue is painfully cliché. Her perfect (and authentic) accent, unfortunately, does nothing to help her case. She says things like, “The day before Mike died, he and Adam had a terrible more…

Whitney Port

Our favorite gal from MTV’s reality series, The City, Whitney Port has ventured into the fashion business. From T.V personality, to Teen Vogue intern; our favorite fashionista has turned herself into a brand.

 The 2010 Whitney Eve collection gives chic and feminine a whole new edge this spring. From party dresses, to blazers and must have blouses, let’s just say spring has sprung!

“I’m not designing clothes because I’m on a reality show. I wanted to be a designer before this all happened. I really want people to see me as a fashion designer first because it is what I’ve always wanted to do,” said, Port.

The former Hills star had pitched a few of her clothing ideas on more…

“The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I’ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show,” Conan O’Brien, 46, tweeted.
 
O’Brien’s assumed move to Fox was highly anticipated. That being said, his shift to TBS raises the network’s profile considerably. Fox had expressed interest in nabbing O’Brien in order to win a spot amidst the crowded late-night field, but most affiliates air syndicated programs in the 11 p.m. timeslot.
 
In an earlier statement, O’Brien said, “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.”
 
As of right now, the presently untitled hour-long show will debut in November at 11/10c after the World Series. It will be airing Monday through Thursday. O’Brien’s show will be followed by more…

Erykah Badu

The way she mixes R&B, Hip hop and Jazz, is what makes her muliti-talented. Her distinctive style is the reason we label her as unique. But, the release of her new video “Window seat” is what makes Erykah Badu so controversial in today’s media.

She is the definition of individual style. From her trademark head wraps to her soulful vibe; everything Badu does seems to be remembered. Some know her as “The Queen of Neo- Soul” while others remember her best for her hit single Bag Lady. The release of her new video walking down the streets of Dallas, Texas nude is another thing to add to our list.

The singer was charged with disorderly conduct by Dallas, Texas police. But, Badu was more…

Rolling out movies like he’s manufacturing them on an assembly line, Tyler Perry’s a long way from the roach infested apartment he used to live in.

Perry’s newest installment, Why Did I Get Married Too? is the sequel to the cult-classic, Why Did I Get Married? Even though Perry still highlights the trials of each couple’s marriage, Patricia (Janet Jackson) and Gavin’s (Malik Yoba) relationship received the most face-time.  

Gathering in the Bahamas for their annual one-week marriage retreat, each couple quickly realizes that they are not immune to the difficulties of commitment and fidelity. As they learn to deal with the problems in their individual marriages, Jackson and Yoba are content on keeping the more…

Nautical stripes are associated with yachts and beaches, and not to mention vintage swimwear. But the trend has been showing up on the runways of Charlotte Ronson, Peter Som, Alexander Wang and Louis Vuitton. But there is more to the trend besides the stripes. What about the rope, brass buttons and gold anchor accessories; as well as a color palette of whites, navys and reds. Combined, a fabulous trend is formed that has been around for many years.

Starting with the basics –nautical stripes. Even though most women would shy away from the trend because of the theory that “horizontal stripes make one look fat’, the trend is popular. Classic nautical stripes thin lines of navy and cream. But lately, they have been showing up in an array of different colors. Red and Cream is a hit. Loose shirts paired with navy or denim jeans. A nautical striped tee shirt dress is more…

Fatima Scott

Have you ever read a magazine and your eyes wouldn’t allow you to turn the page because you were in awe with Rihanna’s Boyfriend Blazer or Kim Kardashian’s Dazzle shoes? As you attempt to turn the page you come across “Get the celeb look for less!” Whether it’s for under $100 of $20, you’re just not that convinced you can re-create your fellow fashionista’s look. So, you go with your instincts. You turn the page. You’ve arrived at the same issue many college students face today, money! Correct? But, what if those fashion critics weren’t lying? More importantly, what if being a fashion savvy student required possessing more…

Robert Pattinson wants to be James Dean. He’s been deemed the world’s favorite vampire (as Edward in the Twilight films), but more recently, his attempts at a less sparkly career fall flat when he’s left to his own devices. But what better way to revamp (no pun intended) his career than to play up that signature brooding expression in a modern day tragedy? That’s where Remember Me comes in. It’s endearing, exasperating, and delicate – not unlike young love.
 
Pattinson plays 21-year-old Tyler, a scruffy amalgam of troubled young men through the ages. Like Holden before him, he’s got a little sister whom he adores, and he tends to focus his energy on withdrawing from society. Like the guy in Ordinary People, he’s also living in the shadow of his dead older brother. Coincidentally, he’s also the son of a bureaucratic, dominant father, much like Cal in East of Eden. Tyler is more like a set of qualities than a character (i.e. he works at a Strand bookstore in New York City (surprise), arranging shelves into categories like authors who died young or authors who slept together). He smokes obsessively, drinks beer for breakfast, and more…
