Jenna Sauers — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:35:00 EDT

Amy Winehouse's line for Fred Perry is out, and the clothes look a little like the kind of argyle-tastic thing André 3000's girlfriend would have worn to go boating in 2003. Only shorter. [Yeeeah]

The Met Ball may be more fun than we ever imagined — most parties are after everyone is wasties! Here's Anna Wintour, almost smiling. And dancing with P. Diddy. Wait, is Katy Perry crowd-surfing or just on a table? [VillageVoice]

Yes, it's fashion week, yes, there are better things to talk about, and yes, we'll get to them after the jump, but first: Toby Keith's clothing line debuted. It's worse than we thought. [TMZ]

Do you think I like it? Don't you think I'd prefer to look at beautiful, awesome clothes instead of pair after pair of deformed gladiator sandals and vague political statements? Well, it's not to be: for our sins, I give you Kitson's 90210 Collection Party at Kitson Studio in Los Angeles, California. And if this is representative of said collection — oh boy. It took all my arts to find one "okay" in this melee of 90210 cast members and those who love them! The (sole) Okay, the Bad, the Ugly — after the jump! More »

Lauren Conrad Is A Total Charity Case

Sadie Stein — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:30:00 EDT

L.A. boutique Kitson can't give away poor Lauren Conrad's collection. Well, they can, but not to customers. "They're giving away her collection to Caitlin's Closet, a charity that gives girls dresses for their big events, like the prom and homecoming." I have a terrible image of no one choosing her dresses for prom, though — I mean, they have other options, right? [TMZ]
Designer Maria Pinto's star has risen along with client Michelle Obama's. 'While she does point out things Mrs. Obama might like, Ms. Pinto said she has never dressed her for events. Of the purple dress worn the night Mr. Obama claimed the nomination, Ms. Pinto said it was not planned. “Michelle is not scheming like her wardrobe should make certain points.”' [NY Times]
In a match made in pink, Upper East Side, Gossip-Girly heaven, Charlotte Ronson and Shoshonna Lonstein team up for beachwear. "The two, who attended high school together at the The Nightingale-Bamford School, have joined forces on a beach line called Made With Love. Launching at retail in February, the collection includes printed women’s and girls’ bathing suits — a one-piece and several bikini styles — and matching printed beach towels and cover-ups." [WWD]

LC Now Paying People To Wear Her Clothes • Bulletproof Bras For Germany's Female Cops

Maria — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:20:00 EDT

After her "Lauren Conrad Collection" was dropped from the L.A. celebrity boutique Kitson, LC has resorted to using her C-list celeb status as a bargaining chip to find people to wear her clothes. • PANIC: There was a bomb threat at the MGM tower earlier today. The entire building was evacuated, including the talent agency ICM and the production companies of Tom Cruise and Salma Hayek.• What does "curvy" mean to women's magazines? We're guessing anyone higher than a size 2. More »

The latest on the Nina Garcia saga: If she takes the editor-at-large gig she'll only be there til mid-October, when ELLE's contract with Project Runway ends and then she'll be let go for reals. (Dear Nina: You can do better than that.) Meanwhile, no one at ELLE or its publisher Hachette Filipacchi Media has issued a single comment on the entire situation. [WWD, 1st item]

You knew this already, but Project Runway judge/style tome author/ELLE fashion director Nina Garcia has parted ways with the magazine that made her. At least, ELLE has yet to tell anyone the rumors are false.

'US Weekly's' Ken Baker Was A Nice Guy, Back When He Still Lactated

Moe — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:10:42 EDT

Yesterday's post on Us Weekly West Coast executive editor Ken Baker, the worst boss in America, drew many comments and a few phone calls from former co-workers. Once upon a time, you see, Ken was a nice, friendly, idealistic Columbia J-school grad with the highest of ethical standards. The only problem was that his nipples leaked breast milk, and also he was impotent and did not desire sex, even with Drew Barrymore, whom he found himself powerless to hit on. Then sometime in the late nineties, he fell in love with a ballerina who did not care that he couldn't get it up, and a co-worker at People directed him to doctor to the stars, Joshua Trabulus, who gave him a magical serum called "testosterone." And that is when the fun began. More »
