Out Of The Drama Hallway And Into The Spotlight: Meet "The Glee Generation"
When I was ten years old, I signed up for a musical theater course that was being held at a traditional summer camp. We sang, danced, and took sing-a-longs of "Boom-Chicka-Boom" very seriously. Everyone at camp thought we were dorks.

Kate Moss Doesn't "Intellectualize" Getting Dressed
- The Kate Moss "guide to partying" is a major letdown. "Don't dance with men who can't dance. I prefer to dance with my girlfriends." Is one of the rules. "Be a gorgeous moddle" probably doesn't hurt, either. [Mirror]
- She basically comes out and says you can't just be her, anyway. "When it comes to dressing, I follow…
Lauren Conrad Is A Total Charity Case
- 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,…
The Paper: Big Boys Do Cry
My favorite underdog on The Paper, EIC Amanda, has finally started to assert her authority in the kindest way possible but is still being mocked and disrespected by her fellow editors (particularly Trevor, the biggest blowhard I've ever had an inappropriate crush on). Adam, the flamboyant High School Musical fan, is…
The Shit Hits The Paper
The kids on The Paper went on deadline for the first issue of the school year and under the new regime of Amanda as "In Chief." It seemed to be a mess. Amanda got too caught up writing her own editorial (which she edited while on the can) to actually run the operation, nobody knew how to make a PDF file, and they had…
Loose Lips
Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted leaving a NYC tattoo parlor last night. Oh Ri Ri, PLEASE tell us you did not get a tattoo with Chris's name in it!! • There is a High School Musical 4 in the works, though Ashley Tisdale says she probably wouldn't be in it. "We love HSM, but we kind of have to move on," Princess…
Teri Hatcher: The Annoying New Face Of Badgley Mischka
- Teri Hatcher replaces the Olsens as the chief endorser of scary-big overwrought dresses. Can she go back to selling phone service or whatever? She was so convincing in that role. [WWD, sub req'd]
- Siouxsie Sioux is "collaborating" (so sick of this word) on a limited edition T-shirt line. With Urban Outfitters.…
Models Filling The Jobs Vacated By Celebrities Who Took Their Modeling Jobs
- The supermodels of yore think they deserve film careers. Naomi Campbell would like to start doing comedies (in itself: comedic!) and Helena Christensen hopes to be the next Bond girl. [Vogue UK]
- How did this not happen earlier? The official periodical of normal people who aspire to be hipsters (Nylon) teaming up with…
