Tim Gunn Is Totally Normal: "I Wear Jeans & T-Shirts All The Time"

Sadie — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Everyone's favorite human being, Tim Gunn, likes Dunkin' Donuts (Grace Mirabella turned him onto it.) And he can't afford to buy an apartment in New York, either! (Stars! They're just like us!) [Time Out New York]
Simon Doonan, the woman's champion, bemoans that there's "a lot of conformity, a lot of blonde hair ... I often wonder if feminism was just a dream. I can't believe how women feel so scrutinised, and they're still so self-critical - I thought they would have let go of that now but they haven't. There's a very masochistic thing with women now that I didn't used to see. My girl friends in the punk era weren't like that at all." [Guardian]
How's the fashion set responding to the economic crisis? "Everyone's freaking out. Everyone." [WSJ]

Prada denies it's trolling for an investor in Dubai; says it's still going public. The economy says otherwise! [WWD]
Tom Ford's bringing in the whole Mad Men design team to work on his directorial debut. Which we would totally do, if you changed "directorial debut" to "our apartment." [E!]
Not shockingly, Woody Harrelson is a big advocate for hemp. [Guardian]
Of her unisex clown-in-the-asylum collection for H&M, Rei Kawakubo declares, “The collection is constructed around Comme des Garçons’ style. Rather than aiming to make clothes that no one has ever seen before, it is very much Comme des Garçons to its roots. My priority has always been creativity, which was not the least bit compromised with this collection. That was the last thing H&M wanted us to do. Otherwise they wouldn’t have asked us.” [BlackBook]

Our greatest minds have come up with Kix by Katie, "a stick-on, lightweight, supportive strip which is applied to the inside back hemline of pants. This useful innovative invention adds just a bit of extra weight to your pants, making them hang down nicely." Thus is eliminated the heel-wedgie, the apparent bane of many a high-heeled dame.

D Holes

Tracie — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:20:00 EDT

Dunkin Donuts has pulled an ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a black and white silk paisley scarf after right-wing bloggers like Michelle Malkin complained that it looked like a keffiyeh and questioned whether people should boycott DD because of it. Does Malkin have donuts for brains? Seriously, did she really think that Rachael Ray or any of the other douches who wear keffiyeh-esque scarves as a fashion statement are Islamic jihad sympathizers? Dunkin Donuts issued a statement saying, "Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial." So it turns out that everyone in that company is a moron, from the execs to the 17-year-old kid who never understands that "black" means "no milk." (But their apple crumb donuts are like made from fluffy, sweet clouds in heaven.) [Boston Globe]

Here We Gooooobama

Moe — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:54:43 EST

Obama and McCain, Mr. Dreams of my Father vs. Faith of my Fathers, are tonight's winners. McCain is a completely sure thing now, and Obama is looking better on account of winning the Latins this time. Camile Paglia knows who she'll be voting for, and it's not the "weird old coot"...the weird old coot now seems to be subtly knocking Obama. Using many Clintonian talking points, I might add! [Salon]

This Week We Talked Queefs, Menses and Implants. You Know, The Ussh

Jessica — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:30:00 EST

Tyra Banks is taken seriously enough by this country to host Presidential candidates.
But Anna Wintour is not! Also, Tyra would totally win in a cage match.
A photo agency posted pictures of Britney's menses, and we wondered if the paparazzi have gone too far.
They've gone so far that non-celebrities like Heidi Montag grace the covers of multiple magazines, talking about her boob job.
Then we got you to tell us about your implants, which were 10 times more interesting than Heidi's.
But still not as entertaining as Slut Machine's queefs.
Or her long weekend in Vegas!
Or Judy Blume's awesome book containing a ton of embarrassing erections, Then Again, Maybe I Won't.
You know what was also entertaining? When Diane Keaton said the F-word on national television.
So grab some Rachael Ray endorsed Dunkin' Donuts coffee, crack open a bag of dainty 100 calorie snacks, and go watch the darling Katie Heigl in the resoundingly shitty 27 Dresses. You're worth it!

Rachael Ray On Dunkin Donuts Coffee: "What Is This Shit??"

Moe — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 13:00:05 EST

This just in from the set of Rachael Ray's latest Dunkin Donuts commercial, according to a New York Magazine tipster: "She took one sip of her Dunkin' Donuts coffee, yelled "What is this shit? Get me MY coffee," and would not continue until she was given "her" coffee — i.e., Starbucks." Fascinating. On one hand, I always love it when celebrities shill products they hate. A few years back when Reebok was inking endorsement contracts with pretty much every vaguely hip-hop centric artist on the Hot 100, Jay-Z and Fabulous were always fucking with them, showing up to gigs in Nikes. (Jay-Z pulled the same shit on HP last week — he's a Mac user; aren't we fucking all?) But yeah, on the other hand, slavish devotion to brands, especially brands like Starbucks and Nike but really, any of those stupid little "culty" laptop bag brands or organic shampoo brands you hear people raving about at marketing conferences and in airports in Portland. But then, on the other other hand, coffee is seriously important, maybe more important than politics or philosophy, and with all the discussion of drinking habits on this site I can't believe I'd never posed the question: how do you take your coffee? It's a poll!

The Preciousness Of Zach Braff's Directing Career

Jennifer — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:37:25 EDT

Poignant, isn't it? The directorial career of Zach Braff? Contemplate his debut effort, in which he documented the lushness of the New Jersey landscape and captured the precious spirit of Natalie Portman. Contemplate his follow-up work, in which he documents the destruction of a suburban lawn and captures the volatile (yet precious!) spirit of Naomi Campbell. Oh, and sells doughnuts. The first-leaked video of this moving tale, provided here for your thought-provoking, tear-jerking, viewing pleasure.

Yeah, it's supposed to be vacation, but Beyonce doesn't exactly dress down. Just walking around with those earrings is like working out with weights strapped to your ankles. She reminds us of our grandmother. (Photo after jump) [People]
