Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde… Sort of

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, April 27, 2009

With what clearly appears to be the result of Sun In, Kim Kardashian introduced her new, somewhat blonde locks.

However, Kim claims that she was wearing a wig. She took to her blog,

“It’s a wig! Did I have you fooled? I did a fabulous photo shoot this weekend and they put this hair piece on! I haven’t taken it off since, because I’m really loving the look. I’ve been wearing it around New York and everyone thought it was my real hair! It’s making me want to dye my hair and maybe go lighter for the summer. What do you think? Should I dye it for real?”

And we reply with a resounding “NO!” She looks like Beyonce, not a good thing!

Miss USA Contestants to Wear Jessica Simpson’s Bikinis

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, April 16, 2009

Miss USA contestants will be wearing none other Jessica Simpson on Sunday night. The itty-bitty bikinis, that is - not the pop star.

The Jessica Simpson Collection snagged the coveted crown as the annual beauty pageant’s swimwear sponsor this year, usurping Syrup Swimwear which provided teensy suits for the past two years.

Identical $104 white ‘n’ gold string bikinis were especially created for the contest, as well as the $88 bright green string bikinis modeled by the crown-chasers during a pre-pageant photo shoot in Las Vegas.

Simpson’s swimwear collection debuted less than two years ago, so … why did the Miss USA organization opt for these again?

“Why not?” says publicist Lark-Marie Anton. “They’re fabulous swimsuits.”

Wanna get your hands on one - or both? The suits will go up for sale at Jessica Simpson Collection after the show.

Kathy Ireland’s Shocking Weight Gain (and Loss)

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, April 4, 2009

As a top model, Kathy Ireland is used to seeing pictures of herself that have been retouched to hide her flaws. But when the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl saw a photo taken by her son as she baked cookies at the family’s Santa Barbara house recently, the raw image took her breath away.

“He said ‘Mom, you look pregnant. I didn’t recognize the person I saw. I saw someone who looked overwhelmed, overstressed, overweight, over-everything.”

In her latest book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms. Ireland talks about how mothers tend to put everybody else’s needs before their own. Case in point: she had put on 25 lbs. without even really realizing it.

“I was not making enough time to take care of me,” says Ireland, 46, a mother of three kids ranging in age from 6 to 14 and CEO of Kathy Ireland World Wide, a $1.4 billion design empire. She also runs a mentoring program for single teen mothers.

To get back on track, Ireland enlisted the help of a friend, who happens to be a personal trainer and nutritionist. Thanks to healthier food choices, including cutting down on snacking and desserts, plus three exercise sessions a week, Ireland says she’s almost back to where she feels her best.

Does that mean she wants to get back into a bikini?

“No, that’s not my goal. I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids.”

Model Sues Google Over Slanderous Blog

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Wednesday, January 7, 2009

A Vogue cover girl is suing Google in an attempt to unmask the blogger who trashed her as a “skank” and an “old hag.”

Liskula Cohen, a blond beauty who has modeled for Giorgio Armani and Versace, made headlines last year when a doorman at a Manhattan hot spot was jailed after smashing her in the face with a vodka bottle.

Now she wants to force Google to reveal who slammed her online as the “#1 skanky superstar” on a blog called SKANKS in NYC, hosted by the search engine’s subsidiary.

“It’s petty, it’s stupid and it’s pathetic. And when I do find out who did this, at least I’ll know who my enemies are.”

The defamation suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, seeks a court order compelling Google and its Blogger.com service to identify whoever led the vicious Internet assault against Cohen.

Her lawyer Steven Wagner conceded it’s not easy to identify bloggers who lob insults anonymously, as New York courts have generally declined to force them into the light.

“We think we have a case. This is libelous, it’s defamatory and you shouldn’t just get away with this.”

On the site, Cohen is ridiculed as a desperate “fortysomething” who “may have been hot 10 years ago.”

The Canadian cutie is actually 36, according to records.

“Desperation seeps from her soul, if she even has one,” the site spews.

The stinging posts have been met on the blog with fiery comments in Cohen’s defense from someone identified only as “liveandlove.”

“Are you one of those little dumpy girls who hang off her every word?” liveandlove wrote. “Or do you wait three hours in line at a club, when she breezes right in?” Cohen’s mystery defender also theorized that the mean posts were the work of a “silly, silly fat girl.”

“I’m tall, I’m blond, I’ve been modeling for many years, and people get jealous,” she said. “If I had to deal with everyone who is jealous, I wouldn’t have time to do anything else.”

Madonna’s Open Legs Are Back

Paul @ Gone Hollywood  | Tuesday, January 6, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I posted some ads for Louis Vuitton that featured Madonna posing with the brands handbags.

Well here is the latest ad that features the material girl, this time she is lying down on a sea with one leg up in the air holding the handbag and the other one laying flat down.

These photos also confirm that photoshop is Madonna’s best friend because she looks flawless and there is no muscle veins showing anywhere.

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, December 26, 2008

Donatella Versace showed off her best bikini bod on the beaches of St Barts a couple days ago.

Clearly, this woman has had just a tad too much sun. I can’t think of anything better for Christmas dinner, than a little beef jerky.

Heidi Klum Angers Hindu Leaders With Halloween Costume

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Tuesday, November 4, 2008

While Heidi Klum’s elaborate Halloween costume impressed most of us, it looks like it really ticked off several Hindu-American leaders.

The Victoria’s Secret model and Project Runway host dressed as the Goddess Kali at her annual Halloween bash, and apparently Hindu scholars want Heidi to make a public apology for posing as the sacred figure.

Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed said:

“Goddess Kali is highly revered in Hinduism and she is meant to be worshiped in temples and not to be used in clubs for publicity stunts or thrown around loosely for dramatic effects.

Hindus welcome Hollywood and other entertainment industries to immerse themselves in Hinduism, but they should take it seriously and respectfully, and not just use the religion for decoration or to advance their selfish agenda. Casual flirting sometimes results in pillaging serious spiritual doctrines and revered symbols and hurting the devotees.”

Zed isn’t the only one who is pissed about Heidi’s costume - Jawahar L. Khurana of the Hindu Alliance of India and Bhavna Shinde of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti have also called out Heidi, calling the costume “denigrating.” Yikes!

The Night Paris Hilton Met Jordan

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, October 23, 2008

It was a battle of the party girls last night as Paris Hilton and Jordan descended on London celebrity haunt Movida.

The American heiress arrived at the Soho club in a typical bright red flapper dress and towering heels. Paris is such a tramp.

Paris has become a fixture on the party scene after arriving in the capital earlier this month. Paris is there to spread her stupid show to another country.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an AmeriCAIN

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, October 23, 2008

On The View today, Barbara Walters said that the T-shirt Elisabeth Hasselbeck donned yesterday caused the show to get “e-mails and calls with people complaining.”

What was emblazoned across her chest? “Great Ameri(Mc)Cain Hero.”

With a quick roll of the eyes, Elisabeth huffed, “Well, they must all be voting for Obama.”

Responded Babs: “It’s one thing to wear it during Hot Topics but then when you’re interviewing celebrities….” She asked whether the jest then becomes “an advertisement.”

Elisabeth was quick to chime in with: “I designed the shirt. I sent it to the campaign! … That’s who my heart is for.”

And, of course, no event on The View can go by without Joy Behar throwing in her two cents. “I would wear an Obama T-shirt, she said. “But I would need shoulder pads and I don’t think that would look good.”

Do you think it was politically incorrect for Elisabeth to wear a McCain shirt on the show?

Mr. Blackwell Dies, Age 86

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, October 20, 2008

Mr. Blackwell passed away yesterday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of complications from an intestinal infection. He was 86.

Some of his choices for worst dressed seemed meant to shock — notably, in 1973, Jacqueline Onassis, whose name regularly appeared on best dressed lists.

Blackwell’s goal was not to be insightful so much as controversial, Sheppard, the former Women’s Wear Daily fashion editor, said. As a result, she said, hardly anyone took his list seriously.

His personal style would make anyone wonder where he might rank on a best dressed list. In his early years he wore tight pants and silk shirts unbuttoned halfway down his chest. In middle-age he often wore a turtleneck sweater topped by a heavy gold chain. He spiced a dark conservative suit with bright red socks and wore a huge diamond earring.

In a 2000 interview with the Ottawa Citizen of Canada, he said he had had four face-lifts, starting with an ear-tuck and nose job at 17.

Born Richard Sylvan Selzer on Aug. 29, 1922, in Bensonhurst, a tough neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y., Blackwell was the younger of two sons of impoverished parents who were evicted from their apartment several times. More than once, Blackwell and his brother, Benson, lived in homes for troubled boys. Their father abandoned the family when Blackwell was a young teenager.

He got his start as an actor with small roles in several Broadway shows and was in the cast of “Dead End,” which starred the Dead End Kids.

When the show closed in 1937, Blackwell moved to Los Angeles with his mother and brother and found work in movies, starting with “Little Tough Guy” (1938), a spinoff of the Broadway show he left behind. He got another small role that year in “Juvenile Court,” starring Rita Hayworth.

In his 20s, he landed a small part in a Broadway show, “Catherine Was Great,” starring Mae West, in 1944.

He also worked as a model for “True Detective” magazine, posing as “a mad scientist, a crazed rapist, a killer priest and a blind fortune teller,” he wrote in his autobiography, to illustrate crime stories.

He credited aviation entrepreneur and movie producer Howard Hughes with changing his name to Richard Blackwell. Hughes cast him in “Vendetta” and chose the new name to sound “theatrical, polished, memorable,” Blackwell wrote in his autobiography. But his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.

While “Vendetta” was in production in 1949, Blackwell met Robert Spencer, a hairdresser. They soon became business and life partners, forming a talent agency that specialized in female torch singers. To help one young client get started, Blackwell designed nightclub dresses for her. Encouraged by the positive reaction, he and Spencer closed their talent management business and launched the fashion company Mr. Blackwell.

In the early 1960s, the growing success of Blackwell’s worst-dressed lists pumped up sales of his own designs. The business survived the fashion upheaval of the 1960s, when miniskirts and minimal underwear put the Old Hollywood look Blackwell preferred out of date. As women’s dress styles continued to change in the 1970s, he wasn’t keeping up. First he said he was against jeans for women, then he came out with his own brand of them.

“It seemed he was desperately trying to hold on,” fashion expert Fox said. His fashion commentaries were also wearing thin by the ’70s and, Fox said, he became a caricature who was “no longer relevant.”

Blackwell closed his fashion business in the mid-1970s. He revived his acting career in the 1980s, appearing in several films and television series, usually playing “Mr. Blackwell” in cameo roles.

“No longer would I be Mr. Blackwell,” he wrote of the end of his fashion career. “I created him, and he had performed well. Audiences applauded. The world listened — and I did what I had to do.”

He is survived by Spencer, his partner of more almost 60 years. Private memorial services are being scheduled.

Instead of flowers, donations can be made to The ROAR Foundation at shambala.org, The Actors Fund at actorsfund.org or noonprop8.com.

Charlize Theron Stands Out on PEOPLE’s Best Dressed List

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, September 18, 2008

She fills two converted bedrooms with clothes — one for casual and a second for glam — and staying organized worked for singer Fergie who on Wednesday made People magazine’s 2008 list of best dressed women.

“I don’t like to throw anything away,” Fergie said about the clothes in her “closets” for People’s widely-watched Best & Worst Dressed 2008 issue that hits newsstands this Friday.

Joining Fergie, whose hits include “Glamorous,” in the top 10 list were actresses Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Eva Mendes, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Singer Rihanna and supermodel Heidi Klum also made the list.

Rounding out the top 10 — and making a campaign statement for fashion — was Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who was given high marks for a look that was “classic and confident.”

“She has a look. She works it with confidence, and she knows what looks good on her,” said People’s Style Editor Clarissa Cruz.

But Obama played down the notion that her sense of style might be anything close to couture, telling People: “Some of my favorite summer dresses are from Gap and H&M.”

“The thing they all have in common is that they all had a great year, stuck to their own personal style and stayed true to that,” said Cruz.

The magazine’s editors also spent time peering into the fashion choices of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin — her rimless glasses, step-toe pumps and updo hairstyle.

“People are paying attention to what she’s wearing, and we felt that was a news story,” Cruz said.
