Samantha Ronson lights up

Gossip sites are alive today with news that Samantha Ronson was in Beverly Hills and she.. went outside for a cigarette. It’s not really news, I know, but she looked stylin’ while she did it, so I’m going to talk about it as well. The thing I love most about Samantha Ronson is her consistency when it comes to her wardrobe. She’s got the whole tortured-artist-rock-child-who-doesn’t-give-a-shiz look going on and she totally owns it, every time. And she’s a DJ who doesn’t look like every other metrotastically-groomed DJ in the entire world, which is totally refreshing.

Aside from the smoking, news sources are also reporting that Sam was a hiton the 90210 set during filming for an upcoming episode recently and made friends by chatting about girls!

E!UK caught up with Matt Lanter (Liam) and Michael Steger (Navid) at I Fly Hollywood and the twosome chatted about the DJ’s upcoming guest spot. “Liam’s trying to talk Navid into going over and talking to some girls and Samantha chimes in. It was fun. She’s cool,” said Matt. Plus, it was a surprise for the cast. “She was in the script under some other character’s name,” explains Michael, “and then the day of, Samantha Ronson showed up.”

Lindsay, the reviews are in

In Paris this week, Lindsay Lohan released her first clothing line for fashion house, Emanuel Ungaro, after being appointed the brand’s Artistic Advisor. In an attempt to youngerfy (yes I just made that word up) the brand, Lindsay launched clothes in a range of bright colors and included lots of hearts, and the fashion elite don’t like it. One particularly harsh review said, “it was an insult to anyone who had ever really worked in design.”

I have to agree with them. Watching the runway show actually made me cringe. Not with disgust, with disappointment. Lindsay, one of Hollywood’s most photographed and stylish young starlets, teams up with fantastic creative director Estrella Archs, and this is all they could come up with? The clothes were boring and tasteless, and oh-so-done-before. The whole thing was just… dull.

Check out the video below and let me know what you think.

Despite the bad reviews, the ultimate test will be how successful the range is when/if it hits stores, so I’ll keep an eye on sales figures and keep you updated.

Claire and Gretchen sitting in the tree…

If you’re a Heroes fan and are looking forward to seeing Hayden Panettiere (Claire) and Madeline Zima (Gretchen) lock lips, you won’t have to wait long – the episode titled ‘Hysterical Blindness’ is due to air on Monday, 12 October. Here’s a sneak peak -

Cynthia Nixon goes old skool

On the set of the sequel to the Sex and the City movie, Cynthia Nixon has been spotted getting her ‘old skool’ on in this dashing 80′s inspired power suit. I don’t know what makes me more uncomfortable – the shoulder pads, the white stockings/socks/shoes combo or the bob-undercut that looks like it should have a mullet attached at the back. Let’s hope this is part of a flashback and not the fashion director’s attempt to bring nasty back!

stars who can’t wait to be lesbians

While the feminist in me gets slightly annoyed at the number of Hollywood actresses who use lesbian storylines to get publicity and further their careers, the lesbian in me could never get enough of seeing two hot girls getting it on, especially when one of those girls is Hayden Panettiere. In an interview with the Daily Star,  Hayden revealed it was her idea to include a lesbian storyline in the next season of Heroes. She said she just “kinda threw it out there..” when writers for the show began discussing relationship possibilities for her character. She said,  “I was like, ‘Can I just be with a girl or something…? Let’s do that.’” The new relationship, which will see Hayden’s character, Claire Bennet, get involved with her college roommate, Madeleine Zima, might just be the extra inspiration I need to actually start watching the show.

And in other straight-star-can’t-wait-to-go-lezbo news,  The Sun reports that 21 year-old Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce and Demi, has said she’s ‘ready and waiting’ to get hot and heavy with another girl.. on TV of course. Rumer currently has a role on teen drama Beverly Hills 90210 playing a lesbian journalist, and she says she is ready to get steamy. “I don’t know when it’s going to happen. I’m waiting to find out. I’m ready and waiting, should I get the call for action,” she said.

Fight Club: Larry David vs Rosie O’Donnell

In a fight between Curb Your Enthusiam’s Larry David and our favorite gay cruise director, Rosie O’Donnell, who do you think would win? My money would definitely be on Rosie – have you seen those guns she calls biceps? Well Larry David revealed on David Letterman that he and Rosie O’Donnell did get into fisticuffs, but luckily for him it was all in the name of comedy during the filming for a new episode of Curb. And what did Larry have to say of Rosie’s fight club style? “She’s a formidable opponent.” Yeah, he wants to be saying nice things, doesn’t he Rosie?

In other Rosie news (sounds joyous doesn’t it?), apparently she completely stole the show during her performance in Nora and Delia Ephron’s off-broadway show, Love Life & What I Wore.Two of Rosie’s four kids, Parker (14) and Chelsea (12) were there to see their mom bring the house down during a monologue about handbags.

plaid perfection

American Apparel is currently selling a line of ultra cute plaid short sleeve button-up shirts in a range of colors. What I’m loving about them is that they’re totally unisex, so they’re tailored to look great on femmes as well as those who like to dress a little more butch.  They’re available in sizes xxs to xl and retailing for $71, which is a little exie for a shirt, but if it makes you look as good as the girl who works at my local American Apparel store looked in hers, then it will definitely be worth it.

Lindsay Lohan & Emanuel Ungaro make sweet sweet… clothes

When Lindsay Lohan was announced as the Artistic Advisor at French fashion house, Emanuel Ungaro, there was a collective “WTF?!” across the fashion and celebrity blogosphere. Everyone was asking the same thing – what does Lilo know about fashion? To be honest it really doesn’t matter what Lilo knows or doesn’t know about fashion because the girl knows how to work the media. And there’s nothing designers like more than seeing their new range on the hot topic of conversation, which is definitely miss Lindsay right now. The CEO of the fashion house has labeled her their new ‘walking billboard’ and he recognizes the value of aligning their brand with someone who may not know everything about fabric and stitching, but who knows how to get her face (and outfit) into every fashion magazine and on every celebrity website.  And the guy gave Stella McCartney her first major break in fashion, so he must know a good thing when he sees it.
