Before we get to the choice quotes that Cutrone, the owner of People's Revolution, proffers after the jump, I just wanted to point out that Kelly herself gets up in the Observer's comment section to quash the haters who accuse her of lying about her age. In response to a commenter who says, "Hasn't Kelly Cutrone been 42 for about 10 years now?" Kelly goes gangsta: "You have left us no choice we are scanning a copy of my driver's license now — maybe it is your lives that are moving too slow." More quality Cutrone quotes, coming right up!

Kelly has a mouth on her, especially when talking about what it's like to be a successful woman. “I think that people hate women. And I don’t think they like powerful women, and I think it really goes back to Salem, I really do. I think it really goes back to this concept of, you know, hysterical coming from uterus… I think that people really have to look back to Egypt, and this concept of women being in power is not a new thought. With the advent of religion, you saw the demise of the female in the godhead. In Christianity, Mary gets pregnant on her own, she doesn’t even get fucked.”

As raunchy and fantastic as that vagina monologue was, Kelly's secret plans for The Hills are really the best part about her interaction with Observer all-star Meredith Bryan. Cutrone is friends with Paul Morrissey, a former denizen of Warhol's factory. She also lives with an up-and-coming male model named Demian, though their relationship is strictly platonic. So Cutrone's brain came up with this little gem of an idea: “I was like, ‘Paul, if I get Whitney to marry Demian, will you come and direct an episode of The Hills?’ That would be the ultimate Warhol thing, right? To get fucking Paul to do an episode of The Hills would be amaaaaazing!” My brain just exploded from all the meta.

<![CDATA[ This Week In Tabloids: Jamie Lynn Is Jilted, Angelina Is Hormonal ]]> Welcome back to Midweek Madness, where we wade in murky magazine waters so you don't have to. This week has tabloid stalwarts the Jolie-Pitts featured on two covers: Shiloh's wee face is plastered all over Ok!, while Brad and Angie's alleged marriage woes are featured in In Touch. Us scrapes the bottom of the "celebrity" barrel by featuring a former Bachelor on their cover, while Katie Holmes is a "prisoner" according to Life & Style and Star is squawking about Jamie Lynn Spears getting jilted. We explore John Mayer's penis prowess and ponder Lauren Conrad's pain, after the jump.




Star
Jamie Lynn's "baby joy turns to tears…" because her shotgun wedding to Casey Aldridge is allegedly off! Despite frequent, happy looking trips to Wal-Mart, the two teens fight all the time. Even worse, Casey is reportedly two-timing Jamie Lynn! "Casey is acting like a dog," a local yokel notes. And Casey's not the only "celebrity" behaving badly. The Hills Whitney Port is acting like a diva, showing up late to appearances and demanding trips to 7-Eleven. Even more shocking: a Whitney Port personal appearance commands $14,000. New moms Melissa Joan Hart and Jaime Pressly are gabbing about their new baby boys. Jaime ate cabbage soup six days a week and worked out two hours a day to lose her baby weight. Sounds…farty and ill-advised. Lilo hates Mary-Kate Olsen because of her friendship with Samantha Ronson, although MK is really scared of people thinking she's a lezebel. John Mayer has a touch of the OCD: since moving in with Jennifer Aniston at her hotel in Florida while she shoots Marley and Me, he has been cleaning up after her cleaning lady. Jen, who is 9 years older than John, is also featured in a spread called "Cougar Season" alongside Mariah, Ellen DeGeneres, and ur-Cougar Demi Moore. Ladies sometimes date younger men: this is not news. We are officially over the term "cougar."
Grade: D (falling asleep outside and having someone write "Dick" on your stomach in sunblock)

Us
Former jilted Bachelor star Andrew Firestone has a "Second Chance At Love," the Us cover blares. Even though ex-fiancée Jen Schefft dumped him on his keister after the show aired, Firestone has found love with a leggy blonde Serbian model named Ivana Bozilovic. You guys, it's so hard to rebound from a break-up when you're a ridiculously good-looking heir to a tire fortune. Firestone has been through so much! Not as much as breakup postergirl Jennifer Aniston. But things seem to be looking up for our formerly depressed diva! Her friends all love new boyfriend John Mayer, even notoriously tough Courteney Cox. Several preggers stars are just about ready to "pop": Gwen Stefani, Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lynn Spears, Luciana Damon (Matt's wife) and Ryan Shawhughes (Ethan Hawke's gf) are among the super pregs. Patrick Swayze has gone back to work on the forthcoming A&E series The Beast even though he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. No cancer puts Patrick in a corner! Kim Cattrall signed on to executive produce and star in a new HBO comedy, Sensitive Skin, which is about a woman rediscovering her sexuality. "Even though it's my name, and the word skin is there, it's a very subtle show," she assures Us. Mmmkay.
Grade: D- (subway smells on a 99 degree day)

In Touch
Angelina is "Pushing Brad Away!" Nooooes! Apparently Ange has violent mood swings because of all the pregnancy hormones and Brad can't deal with it. He took Maddox to the MotoGP motorcycling championship just to get the eff away from Angie. At least she's not back to her Billy Bob humping days, but allegedly Nicole Richie is back to her old bad habits, namely not eating. She's down to 95 pounds, only ten pounds heavier than her scary looking lowest point. Also back to bad habits: Brit Brit. She's back on the sauce, but still not doing drugs, though some fear that Britney's cocktail swilling might lead back down the road to cocaine corner. Also: there's some sidebar saying that Britney's boozing is causing her to have acne. WTF? Did a boob job come between George Clooney and Sarah Larson? Apparently Larson got her tatas done in May, and George wasn't happy about it. Sarah, however, is so thrilled with her new bod that she is considering posing for Playboy. Sigh.
Grade: F+ (second degree sunburn)

OK!
Aw, Shiloh is excited about Angelina's new babies! Apparently SO excited that OK! felt the need to devote four pages to the minutia of Shiloh's very existence. She has "pull-up diapers and tells Mom and Dad when she has to go to the bathroom"! She is learning to sleep alone! She puts her hands on Angie's stomach to feel the twins kick! Um, just like ANY OTHER TWO-YEAR-OLD EVER IN THE HISTORY OF LIFE. Brad Pitt might be making babies these days, but according to a "friend" of John Mayer's, Brad doesn't stack up to John in the sack. John is "Not just good, but sensational" at the sex." Jen is so appreciative that she's started glowing and wearing dresses. Or something like that. Mutiny in The Hills! Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge are brawling. There's a photo shoot with Audrina at her pool house, behind the main house where Lauren and Lo live, and apparently L.C. was pissed about it. "She was very, very mad." Audrina says. "She said it's her house. But this is my room…No she thinks I'm sneaky and shady for doing this photo shoot, yet she and her team knew about it." Dramz!
Grade: F (boob sweat on a date)

Life & Style
Katie is Tom's Prisoner. Again. Katie went to New York for four days to rehearse for her new play, All My Sons, and she never went anywhere but the hotel and the theater. She looked annoyed at a party, according to an "insider" and it's because she feels suffocated. Is John Mayer ready to be a dad? Life & Style ponders. Jen started talking about a friend's fertility treatment over dinner and John "swiftly" changed the subject. "This spinach is awesome…It's very garlicky," Mayer reportedly said. Heh. Maybe that's why Jennifer Aniston has been feuding with He's Just Not That Into You co-star, Jennifer Connelly. The cast of the film, which includes Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin, got together for a Marie Claire photoshoot, and Aniston threatened to pull out if Connelly was included. Janet Jackson looks to be "up 20 pounds" since October, and she needs to lose weight before her Rock Wichu tour in September. She plans to eat healthier and exercise more and blah blah blah.

Grade: F- (heatstroke)

<![CDATA[ Stars Wore Their Budget Best At The Rogan For Target Party ]]> marcia051608.jpgLast night, Barneys New York in Los Angeles hosted a party for the debut of Rogan For Target. Rogan, the company known for its $250 jeans, is teaming up with Target so us mere middle and lower-class mortals can get our hands on "designer" denim. Attending the party were stars of film and television: Marcia Cross, Rachel Bilson, Sanaa Lathan, Felicity Huffman, Becki Newton, Amy Smart, Gabrielle Union, The Hills' Whitney Port and many more. Who wore Good, who wore Bad and who wore Ugly? Find out, after the jump.





The Good:

TARGETfelicty051608.jpgFelicity Huffman keeps it simple and showcases toned shoulders.

TARGETgabrielle051608.jpgGabrielle Union's little summer dress is pretty cute. She should take her hands out of her pockets, though.

TARGETjoy051608.jpgLove the color and drape of Joy Bryant's dress. Beachy keen!

TARGETbecki051608.jpgLove the color of Becki Newton's dress, too! Just one piece can look so chic.

TARGETsanaa051608.jpgSanaa Lathan, golden girl. She looks so great in this dress I'm willing to forgive the borderline shoes.

TARGETrachel051608.jpgRachel Bilson's jacket and skirt seem sophisticated, but I'm torn on the shoes. They're sort of cool and new and different and they're sort of horrifying. I like the rest so much I'm erring on the side of Good.

The Bad:

TARGETmarcia051608.jpgMaria Cross: Meh. The shoes are too heavy, in my opinion. A thin-strap sandal for a more bare look might be better.

TARGETmena051608.jpgYeah, I don't know, Mena Suvari. Part of me likes the Pat Benatar thing she's got going, the other part of me winces, because how long can we do '80s?

TARGETamysmart051608.jpgAmy Smart is a lovely lady, but this dress is bad. The neckline is bad, the belt is bad and I think the fabric is bad.

TARGETelizabeth051608.jpgIs Elizabeth Banks wearing a wardrobe castoff from Sophia Coppola's Virgin Suicides?

TARGETzoe051608.jpgZoe Saldana's hemline is a gynecologist's dream.

TARGETnicky051608.jpgNicky Hiton looks awkward, like an overgrown baby doll.

TARGETmaggie051608.jpgI think Lost alum Maggie Grace looks pretty but the satin shorts are killing me. They're super cute if you're playing the role of Miss Adelaide is Guys And Dolls, but otherwise, no.

TARGETkelly051608.jpgI like Kelly Rutherford's blouse. I like Kelly Rutherford's skirt. I love Kelly Rutherford's shoes. I do not like them all together. Maybe if the blouse wasn't quite so buttoned up and the skirt were longer? I don't know.

The Ugly:

TARGETsophia051608.jpgSophia Bush is gorgeous; this weird zippered apron dress and chunky brown shoes are not.

TARGETwhitney051608.jpgOh, Whitney Port. So many trends, so little time.

<![CDATA[ Loose Lips ]]> thehills5608.jpgEveryone's favorite televised Klonopin, The Hills, has been picked up for a fourth season. Feel the rain on your skin, bitches! • Speaking of the Hills, Spencer Pratt is doling out advice about butt sex over at Radar. His suggestions are surprisingly...reasonable! • Authorities have taken notice of Britney's good behavior of late: the embattled pop star has been granted more time with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. She still doesn't have custody of them, but she will be allowed more supervised visits. [Us, Radar,TMZ]

<![CDATA[ Choose Or Lose ]]> votehillsvote040908.jpgIn this electrified election year, where can America's youth turn for voting tips? To the ladies of The Hills, of course. Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port appear in a series of "register to vote" public service announcements. Says Lauren, rather woodenly: "In the time it takes to write the perfect text message, you could register to vote in the 2008 election." In another spot, Whitney claims you can register in the time it takes to say goodnight to your crush. Duly noted! (Click the picture to see the video.) [Think.MTV]

<![CDATA[ <i>The Hills</i> In Paris: Feel The Pluie On Your Peau ]]> New episodes of The Hills are back—finally, after four friggin' months. We're live blogging the whole thing, including the premiere party featuring Lauren, Whitney, Audrina (Heidi wasn't invited, natch) and MARIAH CAREY!!!! After the episode airs, Mimi is gonna perform live. Do you think she watches the show?

11:11 Haha! Mariah said, "I have enjoyed you profusely!" That woman lives by the thesaurus. But on that note, I have enjoyed this night profusely, even though I bitched in the beginning. Thanks for refreshing! I'm peacing. I've been on this computer since 7 am. DONE!

11:08 OK, now I'm gonna have to subject my dog to "We Belong Together." It might be one of my favorite songs ever. I'm not kidding.

11:03 The sound on this is all fucked up! It sounds like they don't have it patched in or whatever, and they're just picking up the sound in the venue. Also, Mimi can't hit those notes. It's weird.

11:02 Oh! Excited for Justin Bobby to return! Excited for Heidi and Audrina being chummy! Excited for more She Pratt!

10:58 Whitney says her soft g's weird, like they're k's. And I have a feeling that we're gonna be hearing a lot of her new "stylink" goals in eps to come.

10:55 Uh, who's the dude sitting behind Mimi, Lauren, and Aussie?

10:50 OK, this just got as ridiculous as it could possible get. The French dude is gonna take her around Paris at midnight on a motorcycle while she's wearing a ball gown?

10:41 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! OMG, you just know that the MTV producers did that to her dress.

10:35 I am so into this girl from Yelle. She's such a spaz, I love it! She reminds me exactly of my sister when she was like 7.

10:30 Wow, this scene with Spencer and Heidi and her parents is SO awkward.

10:29 Oh boy. This ball gown altering plan is going to end very badly—as per the script.

10:25 I made my dawg sit in front of me and be my audience while I sang The Hills theme song to her and then I took pictures. Clearly she's unimpressed with me.

edie32408.jpg

10:21 Two things: These dudes from the band are adorbz; and Lauren looks great in red lipstick.

10:19: LOLOLOLOLOL!!! I love that Heidi's hometown is called Crested Butte, because all I can think of is Crusted Butt.

10:18: I really love Whitney's pink dress here.

10:17 I don't know if I really understand what this ball is. I thought it was a fashion thing.

10:10 This Dove mini show thing is weird. OMG! I went on a date at the restaurant their eating in! My boss showed up (not Anna), sat down, and ate some of our lobster ceviche and then pointed out, in front of my date, that the wine that I was ordering was expensive. The food was really good.

10:09 I'm so glad that She Pratt is a regular now. What is the deal with these two? Like does Spencer feed her lines?

10:03 I'm loving Whitney's hat. Lauren is wearing that Betsey Johnson dress. That would look like maternity wear on me.

10:00 OMG! Mimi's gold jacket is very...labial.

9:59: I'm going to have to sing "Unwritten" alone. My dog always looks at me like I'm nuts when I doshit like that.

9:50 Can we just talk for a minute about these chicks modeling their outfits between commercial breaks? Why is that happening.

9:32 OK, I'm gonna go there and ask what the fuck this meebo business is? You know, not for nothing, but I do these live blogs to facilitate a convo here, and I think it's weird that some commenters agree to go somewhere else "private." Also, I'll put this out there: My ass gets money per page view. That might sound mercenary or whatevs, but it's true and I'm like, what am I doing with 2 hours of my life, off hours, not eating my cheeseburger, because I'm typing, when people aren't even hanging out here?

9:27 And since this is boring, let's keep talking about dirty stuff. What do you think Spencer and Heidi's sex life is like? They're pretty boring when they fight, so I imagine it would be similar. And she looks like a faker—a loud faker.

9:22 What do you guys think of Audrina's nudie pictures (link NSFW, duh)? Personally I think the only thing she has to be embarrassed about is the eyeshadow and the cowboy hat.

9:13 Who is this Australian chick hosting the premiere party? That's an Aussie accent, right? Also, why does Lauren always look put out about having to be interviewed or talk about the things that make her money?

9:10 @ ampg: Dude, my ex-BF used to love the theme song and we would sing it together really loudly. But he would always go, "Feel the rain on my penis!" Which I thought was so weird, because I know that he's actually never felt rain on his penis.

9:01 Um, OK, so this is just the last two episodes that their playing for this hour? I thought there would be more of the premiere party beyond a little countdown in the corner. Mainly I'm disappointed that Mariah isn't involved in this.

<![CDATA[ Holy Itshay, What Is That Big Black Man Doing On The Cover Of <i>Vogue</i>?! ]]> gisele-lebron-james-vogue.jpg
  • Gisele appears on the cover of the April Vogue with...Lebron James. This is may seem like an historic event on par with, say, a black president, but that would belie how far we've come as a nation, revealed by the dead-first comment reacting to the news on our brother blog Deadspin: "That cover would have been much more fantastic if he had been dressed a la Andre french vogue. Oh Anna, Anna, Anna." Our take: Lebron probably exercises more influence over footwear and apparel sales than Anna Wintour and Gisele and Karl Lagerfeld combined. If Vogue really wanted to think outside the (heh) box, they'd make over Lebron's mom. [Deadspin]
  • Christian Siriano update: found backers for his clothing line, had a fit meeting with Victoria Beckham yesterday, taping Leno tonight, and is slated for an Ugly Betty cameo. Surely nothing like this could end in anticlimax and obscurity? [WWD, 2nd item]

  • Reese Witherspoon is the face of the new U by Ungaro fragrance, being licensed by Avon. Do you care? You so care, don't you. [WWD, sub req'd]

  • Whitney is such a follower! Ms. Port, of The Hills fame, is starting her own clothing line, Eve & A, which will show party and cocktail wear. Her daddy is producing it, natch. Who's her daddy? You know, some rich guy. Why burden yourself with the data? [WWD, sub req'd]
  • Liz Claiborne is still tanking despite the best efforts (and we can only imagine laserlike focus!) of Tim Gunn. [WWD, sub req'd]
  • Pacific Sunwear is also suffering. [WSJ]
  • Designer Alice Temperley is preg! [Vogue UK]
  • Fashion illustrator (and husband of designer Isabel) Ruben Toledo on how he started his career: "All I knew is that I wanted to paint and draw and do art and be with Isabel—she is my leading inspiration and muse.

<![CDATA[ Attendees At Lauren Conrad's Fashion Show Dress As Poorly As She Designs ]]> lcf08lc.jpgYesterday, the fashion industry continued to give legitimacy to the lie that is Lauren Conrad's "career" as a "fashion designer" at L.A. Fashion Week. And naturally, all of LC's best frenemies from The Hills turned up to show their "support." Sadly, they dressed as badly as LC designs! (Also, Lisa Rinna was there.) The Good, Bad, and Ugly of the front row and after-party for the Lauren Conrad collection, after the jump.

The Good: 80311a1_bosworth_l_b_gr_01.jpgLauren "Lo" Bosworth looks surprisingly, well, sophisticated in this strapless cocktail dress. (I can't believe I just called Lo sophisticated.) 80311a1_patridge_a_b_gr_03.jpgI'm totally into Audrina Partridge's sporty-chic look: It's so 80's in all the right ways.

The Bad:
80311a1_conrad_l_b_gr_02.jpgI hope LC didn't design this dress herself, because if she did, she sure ain't helping business. The proportions are weird — I can just hear Michael Kors making some nasty comment about not understanding women's bodies.
80311a1_port_w_b_gr_03.jpgWhitney's "I'm-Not-Even-Trying" look looks like she needed to try. The length of the dress is no good on her, the leather jacket seems to severe, and the bootie mocassins just make my heart bleed.
lcf08lisarinna.jpgWhile I commend Lisa Rinna for not wearing animal print, I frown on any dress that is so short that it makes for an automatic crotch-shot when you sit down. Also, is she looking thinner than normal?
lcf08stephencolletti.jpgStephen Colletti looks like some fresh-out-of-school investment banker. In other words, he looks like a douche.
lcf08whitaudlobrody.jpgLooks like the kids wore different clothes to the show itself than to the party. (When will someone tell them that they're not actually celebrities?) I much prefer the dress Whitney wore to the runway show — seems much more her and much more polished. But ugh, is that Lauren Conrad collection Audrina's wearing? And I'm not sure I approve of Lo's homecoming court-esque red taffeta number. Also, see how Brody Jenner is sitting with hit not-ghetto hoody over his head? Mega douche.


The Ugly:
lcf08ashleyjones.jpgCongratulations, Ashley Jones, for sporting one of the ugliest dresses I have ever seen in my life.

<![CDATA[ <em>The Hills</em> Season Three Preview: Justin Bobby Strikes Back ]]>
Oh my god, you guys, the new season of The Hills looks aaaamazing. Lauren and Whitney are in gay Pareeee! Brody gets a cunty new girlfriend! Lauren has a fake rebound fling with a long-haired Frenchy! Stephanie Pratt is back in the house! Spencer and Heidi pretend to break up! Justin Bobby returns! And, according to the tagline: "Everything has changed." Though, um, it sort of seems like everything is the exactly same — except Lauren's hair is a mite darker. But whatever! We will be collectively holding our breath until the March 24 premiere. ]]>

<![CDATA[ Lauren Conrad Collection: Ugly, Overpriced, Simply Outrageous ]]> laurenconrad0213.jpgOnce again, Lauren Conrad "triumphs" over Heidi Montag. While Heidi's "working" in fashion as the "face" of Anchor Blue (for the more "mature" slutty tween!), Lauren is actually "designing" her own clothes. Only her designs are a little...meh. Ok, they're actually a lot "meh": The Spring 2008 looks of the Lauren Conrad Collection is nothing more than idiotic jersey pieces, that retail for up to $170 dollars. Not only that, but the cuts seem super weird, and the palette is heavy on doody colors. LC did, however, name two looks after gal pals Whitney Port and Audrina Partridge! After the jump, behold the full Lauren Conrad Spring/Summer 2008 collection. And try not to throw things at your monitor in outrage when you do.

L to R: Katherine wrap, $140; Jackie tube top, $42; Leggings, $48 / Jillian dress, $145 / Maura top, $85

Verdict: I like to wear leggings around my apartment. But even I wouldn't match them with a tube top; Why wear a burlap sack when you can wear a jersey sack? If your milkshake doesn't bring all the boys to the yard, you can always just show them your boobs.

L to R: Sophia dress, $145; London top, $100; Audrina dress, $150
laurenconrad2.gif
Verdict: So when are you due? What? You're not pregnant? Sorry; Nouveau Flashdance; The poor man's Rami Kashou!

L to R: Britton top, $94; Bree tank, $75; Nicole skirt, $85
laurenconrad3.gif
Verdict: How Contempo Casuals ca. 1993; Seriously, you can buy this but nicer at Target. Words I never thought I would say: A cheaper Amy Winehouse.

L to R: Whitney dress, $170; Natonia dresss, $150

Verdict: LC must not like Whitney very much as this is by far the ugliest look of the lot; This is probably your best bet of all the pieces, even though it cannot be worn by those with actual breasts.

<![CDATA[ Mining Goldsmith ]]> jenna112807.jpg A West Coast reader got access to Teen Vogue intern and possible new Hills cast member/ Whitney replacer Jenna Goldsmith's restricted facebook profile and gives us the lowdown. Jenna's favorite quote? "Legs are the new cleavage." Our California mole continues, "She's a Business Administration Major (snooze) and she sits in the corner laughing it up with all the frat boys during class." Intriguing! Ms. Goldsmith also says she's employed by Vogue and that she's a "freelancer." Sounds like someone's embarrassed to be an intern!! What, is she too good to share Lauren's intern closet? Fashionista's got her ear to the ground about Whitney-gate, and she's been hearing that Whitney is interviewing for a gig at W, where she would be working alongside ex Hills evildoer-intern Emily Weiss. Know anything about any of these girls? Hit us up at tips@jezebel.com.
