Low Fashion
Yves Saint Laurent. Coco Chanel. Christian Dior. Heidi Montag. Fashionistas will thrill to the debut of Renaissance woman Montag's luminous second collection for her label, Heidiwood. With names like "Violet Midnight," "Peek-a-Boo" and "Hoody-wood", this collection epitomizes the elegance, taste and austere restraint for which Ms. Montag is known. While Ms. Montag's influences are intricately layered and daringly reinvented, it is clear that with works like "Signature Required" and "Heart-Breaker" the multifaceted designer is striving to define a new, enigmatic femininity.

Signs Of The Apocalypse

Even though Christie Brinkley is dealing with that hot mess of a divorce from Peter Cook, she's still friends with ex Billy Joel. Aw, even from her white bread world, she can be buddies with a downtown guy! • David Beckham breaks for fans! The soccer star stopped to sign autographs in D.C. • Oh Christ. Heidi Montag wants to record a Christian album. The "kind of non-denominational Baptist" tells Us, "I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God." Of course, there are more choice quotes in the story itself. [Fox News, TMZ, Us]

Heidi Montag Talks About Fake Tits, Fake Reality Show On The View
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were guests on The View this morning. Spencer mainly kept quiet, but Heidi talked about everything from her plastic surgery to her income to her "breakup" with Lauren Conrad (ugh, so bored with that one). Barbara Walters told Heidi that she's in the wrong business, whatever that means (we think that Heidi is in the perfect business, since she makes piles of dough doing seemingly nothing, like getting paid $100K to "show up" at events). Later, she put on a show of pieces from her Heidiwood fashion line, which she says is selling like hot cakes. If it's such a big part of her life, isn't it weird that her "reality" show never mentions it? Clip above.

Listen to Heidi Montag's new single, "Fashion", here. Heidi calls it "The Greatest Song of My Life." Talk about damning with faint praise. • Woa, apparently Shaq blames Kobe Bryant for ruining his marriage. Last night O'Neal was freestyling at a NYC club when he spit the rhyme, "I'm a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced." According to TMZ, "The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he 'Should have done what Shaq does ... Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.'" What a bunch of classy individuals. [Us,TMZ]

Bo Diddley, the rock and roll pioneer, has died at the age of 79. Diddley, born Otha Ellas Bates, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and leaves behind four children, 15 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. • Kelsey Grammer had a small heart attack while vacationing with his wife in Hawaii. He is recovering nicely. • Some minor cast members on The Hills are complaining because they didn't like how they were portrayed. The most embittered is Heidi's former coworker at Bolthouse, Elodie. "During job interviews, prospective employers ignore her resume and just want to know what it was like to work with Montag," according to the LA Times. • Holy crap. The bidding over the first photos of Brangelina's twins has reportedly reached $15 million. Currently People and Ok! are duking it out for the snaps. The profits will go to charity.

Nothing Really Happened On The Hills Season Finale
Last night's season finale of The Hills only served to further prove that the best part about the show are the teasers for upcoming episodes. Aside from all the scripted drama between Heidi and Spencer, nothing really happened on the big season finale. The rest was just par for the course, like Lauren's crocodile tears, and Whitney's weird pronunciation of words ending in "ing." Oh, but Lo did mention something about cheese being bad for her behind, and I could totally relate to that. But still, who isn't psyched for season four, after seeing that preview?

Angelina Takes Maddox & Pax To OB/GYN
- Angelina Jolie let her sons, Maddox and Pax, attend her sonogram, so the kids could see their new siblings — the twins. [MSNBC]
- The Beyoncé pregnancy rumors have begun. [Page Six]
- Oooh! One of the first reviews of Sex And The City: "It can feel like a never ending dinner party: however pleasant the courses, after a while you can hardly eat another one." Ugh. [Times Of London]
- And! "It is Kim Cattrall as sex mad Samantha who steals the show with all the big laughs... The product placement is less than subtle... There is a totally pointless visit to New York fashion week which has nothing to do with the plots. It is much, much too long for a romantic comedy... More than two hours spent with four air kissing, shopping, screaming women will surely tire out most men." [The Sun]
- Cynthia Nixon says: "Because of the show, I have wonderful clothes, but I never even used to wear high heels." [Telegraph]
- Candace Bushnell says: "When I began dating at 17, I assumed that men would be nice." [Times Of London]

Mischa Barton Fights The Battle Of The (Digitally Enhanced?) Bulge
- Mischa Barton claims she is a PhotoShop Of Horrors victim: A new batch of paparazzi beach shots showed her legs riddled with cellulite. "Those photos are doctored," Barton's rep, Lisa Perkins, says. "I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old." The pix were taken by the dude she's pissed at for snapping topless shots; the same one who ran Nicole Kidman off of the road. [Rush & Molloy]
- You can see the pictures here, with a regular paparazzi shot as well. Photoshop? [Daily Mail]
- Apparently Mariah Carey wanted a $3 million wedding with doves and orchids and Nick Cannon wanted to get married ASAP with no fuss. Mariah agreed because, as she has said, "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Aww, that should be sweet but somehow it's fucking annoying. [Mirror]
- Lindsay Lohan: Seen doing shots of tequila with Lauren Conrad! LL turned her back so no one would see; unfortunately she was facing a window and the whole bar could see her reflection. Whoops! [Rush & Molloy]
- Meanwhile: You know how Lindsay had finally gotten a movie role? In that Manson Girls flick? Well she's been kicked off of the project. Producers "discovered that they couldn't find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her," says Nikki Finke. [Deadline Hollywood via ONTD]

This Week In Tabloids: The Spears Sisters Reunite & Someone Sells The Pix
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we search for actual "news" in the celebrity weekly magazines. Another slow week in Hollywoodland means the covers are rehashed stories you've already heard. Again. Britney "wins" two covers because she went to her sister's baby shower and is thin. The other three covers feature Angelina Jolie, Aniston/Mayer and Montag/Conrad. Intern Sharon assists as we dig for a gold doubloon of gossip on the beachy shores of the weekly mags, after the jump. More »

Heidi Montag On Letterman: "I Tried To Help Lauren Get The Sex Tape Back For A Year"
Heidi Montag was on Letterman last night, and she elaborated a little more about the whole Lauren/Jason sex tape scandal. She totally says that Lauren confided in Heidi about the fact that Jason was about to sell the sex tape and she didn't know what to do and Heidi was helping her to try to get the tape back. As cheesy as Heidi is (seriously, that hair! Miss J. would call her a "no-neck monster"), and as slimy as Spencer can be, hearing Heidi's side of the story was a little eye-opening.

Heidi & Spencer Tell Tyra That Lauren's Sex Tape Is Not A Rumor
Heidi Montag returned from her "relationship vacation" today to appear with her worse-half Spencer Pratt on Tyra and plug her various projects (that hideous clothing line, that horrendous music career). Of course Tyra asked them about the rumors of Lauren Conrad's alleged sex tape, and Heidi and Spencer both maintained that it was never a rumor and that a sex tape does, in fact, exist. They wouldn't say how they knew this (Heidi is 100% sure, while Spencer is 1000% sure), but it was implied that Lauren had confided in Heidi about it. I, for one, totally believe them, especially considering that Heidi also has an alibi as to why she couldn't possibly have been the person to leak the information to the press. "I was in surgery that day." Right: Getting her new breasts! Clip above.

Donatella Versace Expresses Love For Fellow Blondes
- Donatella Versace loves Hillary Clinton but thinks she should dress more like Donatella Versace if she wants to nab the presidency. [Vogue UK]
- But forget politics — where are we, Washington D.C.? — Donatella would much rather meet Martha Stewart. [Fashion Week Daily]
- This week on Ugly Betty, recently fired ELLE fashion director Nina Garcia will appearing alongside Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. But in the season finale, ELLE's Nina-ousters Robbie Myers and Joe Zee will be appearing on the show, in a storyline featuring a softball game. Needless to say, this would seem to indicate a rapproachment on the level with Nixon meeting Mao, except when you remember that the common goal is not being on TV. [WWD, 3rd item]

Jeremiah Wright: Still The Least Of Our Problems, But Our Problems Kind Of Suck
- "He's obviously a well-educated, sincere man who has done good work in building Trinity United Church of Christ. But, to borrow a phrase that Wright might have used in one of his sermons, his rant at the Press Club demonstrates, that he is also a damn fool." [TheRoot]
- Surely I wasn't the only one who detected some philosophical ideological undertones to the Lauren Conrad-Heidi Montag feud, but both actually turn out to support bombing Iran. [NY Mag]
- Perhaps because Iran recently condemned Barbie dolls. [NYT]
- The Fed's bailout of Bear Stearns is the "worst policy mistake of the generation." Well, I mean, we pointed that out already, but when a former Fed head of monetary affairs says so it's apparently "news." [WSJ]
- It was a real delusion. It was like [former New York Gov. Eliot] Spitzer: "I am doing something dangerous, but because of who I am, and how smart I am, it is not going to come back to haunt me." -89-year-old financial manager and historian Peter Bernstein. [WSJ]
- And now we've got 18.6 million vacant homes on our hands! [Wonkette]
