It's so dangerous and can potentially harm the girls mentally and physically." [Guardian]
Shockingly, real designers don't want to dress Heidi Montag. "They don’t want their stuff on Heidi, even despite the fact that she is very media-friendly and is photographed a lot," the rep said. "It’s just not the caliber of celebrity most clients go for." [The Superficial]

Whaleman Foundation Dinner: Good Cause, Crap Clothes

Sadie — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:30:00 EDT

The Whaleman Foundation is this organization that seeks to save the grey whale and prevent its hunting in Japan. I once saw a segment — I think on Extra — about Hayden Panettiere's work with the organization, physically blocking a whale from a harpooning, although I might be conflating with Moby Dick here. So it makes sense that Hayden just hosted the charity's benefit dinner at Hollywood's Beso. It's also a relief that I can put her in "Good" with a clear conscience. The other guests? Not so much. Eva Longoria Parker, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Isabel Lucas and more, after the jump.

The Good:
Okay, I don't adore Hayden's dress here, but I think it works on her, and the woven bodice is very Project Runway-winner.
The final data is not in, but early reports indicate that Sendhil Ramamurthy is the most dapper, handsome man in the entire world. Nice to see Heroes giving their costar some love.

The Meh:
I guess Eva L-P looks okay and everything but "uninspired" does not begin to express the drabness of this safari-denim combo, which, when you think about it, is in vaguely poor taste given the cause.
There are things to like about Leonor Varela's striped wrap, but at the end of the day, the Jonny collar takes it into mumsy.
With good shoes, Laura Margolis could have stepped this LBD up. But she opted for low T-Straps.

The Bad:
At first glance I thought, wow, Dania Ramirez's high-waisted skirt is really unfortunate. And that was before I realized it was in fact cuffed jeans.
I guess Isabel Lucas's getup could have been kinda Haight-Ashbury casual, but the hat takes it into the realm of "deliberate eccentricity" - never a good place to be.
Melinda Raney's creamsicle special. Isn't it strange that she and Eva L-P dressed for the same event?

The Ugly
Heidi Cortez is a study in quiet restraint.

Hayden Panettiere's Dad Busted For Battering Her Mom

Dodai — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:00:00 EDT

Hayden Panettiere's father, Alan, has been arrested for allegedly beating his wife. He allegedly struck Lesley Panettiere in the face this morning at 3 am. If it's true, the man is no hero. Maybe that's why Hayden wants to shack up with her older boyfriend? [TMZ]

NBC All Stars: Kinda Bush-League

Sadie — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:00:00 EDT

I think you know, and I know, that NBC was seriously lagging behind the pack in throwing its obligatory All-Star party. Luckily for everyone, Monday night it got with the program in Beverly Hills. It does seem like "All-Star" kinda just translated to "the entire cast of Friday Night Lights" but since that show is amazing, and the fictional Texans were all kinda bringing it, I'm not complaining. Otherwise, though? Rather meh. Highs and lows, plus Debra Messing, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Bar Rafaeli and more, after the jump.

The Good:
I like how Aimee Teegarden's character on Friday Night Lights looks like a real teen. It's nice to know this is true in real life too — albeit a sophisticated and well-dressed one.
Don't worry, the shoes are fine, even though you can't see 'em here. Saffron Burrows is pretty much infallible.
Adrienne Palicki plays the town loose woman on FNL, so it's nice to see her getting to look cute and classy in real life.
Minka Kelly's ecru is an example of a good maxi.
Not loving the color, but basically Ali Larter's simple red sheath looks fab.
It took me a while to warm to this shape, but actress Dania Ramirez is making me a believer.

The Bad:
Hairdresser Tabatha Coffey: awesome name, unfortunate frock.
I love me a good pair of trousers, but unfortunately I also hate me incredibly ugly blouses like Yvonne Strahovski's.
This bandage thing is not my absolute favorite on Hayden Panettiere.

Dear Bar Rafaeli: we get it, you're sexy. Is the keyhole really necessary?

The Ugly:
Nadine Velazquez's shoes are ugly. That is all.
