News anchors are supposed to read the news, not make it. But we’re more than happy to make an exception for two reporters from Philadelphia’s Fox 29 morning show, “Good Day.”
After interviewing Kim and Kourtney Kardashian on the air, Mike Jerrick and Sheinelle Jones thought the cameras had stopped rolling. They hadn’t.
As soon as they said their goodbyes to the Kardashians, who were promoting a line of clothes, the anchors began making fun of the two sisters. “Can they still hear us?” asks Jerrick. He then proceeds to mock the reality stars for their high-pitched voices and affinity for shoulder pads.
Jones half-heartedly attempts to defend the sisters, saying, “I think they’re stunning.” But even she can’t keep a straight face as her cohort continues speaking in a nasally Kardashian-like voice, a bit like a Smurf who had inhaled helium.
Yes, yes, we know. Making fun of others is wrong. Except when it’s the Kardashians. Then it’s hilarious. Enjoy!
A press release promoting the Kardashian sisters’ new clothing line for Sears was released yesterday and it has some people pretty angry.
Hi, I hope you are doing well!
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe personally invite you to join them in celebrating the launch of the Kardashian Kollection. Join the stylish Kardashian klan on September 6th at the private studio of the legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz for an exclusive preview of their fabulous new fashion Kollection for Sears.
Alliteration is great, but someone in the Kardashian camp doesn’t know when to cool it with the “K’s,” and referred to Kim, Khloe and Kourtney as the “Kardashian Klan.”
As The Observer notes, that spelling of “klan” is only associated with one thing, “And it doesn’t help that their primary initials amount to three consecutive K’s.”
Clearly this was an oversight, but perhaps it will teach the Kardashians a lesson.
The media has barely had time to cool down since the recent outpouring of outrage for 10-year-old model Thylane Blondeau‘s suggestive French Vogue spread and, more recently, our discovery of Jours après Lunes, a lingerie line for young girls.
Already, another instance of an underage model being photographed in a questionable manner has caught the media’s attention. However, this time, it’s because the parents of said model are taking action.
Southern California girl Hailey Clauson — who has worked in New York and Paris for designers including Gucci, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta — claims the “blatantly salacious” shot has damaged her reputation and may even violate kiddie-porn laws.
Her parents are suing Urban Outfitters for selling merchandise printed with pictures of her taken last April when she was 15 that they feel are sexually suggestive. They are also suing the photographer, Jason Lee Perry and two other stores and seeking damages exceeding $28 million. What confuses us is that, according to the Daily News, “her parents knew about the photo session but did not give permission to use the pictures.”
The following are quotes from the lawsuit:
“She is posed in a blatantly salacious manner with her legs spread, without a bra, revealing portions of her breasts.
The image of Teen in a spread eagle position making her crotch area the focal point of the image may portray a child in a sexually suggestive manner and may be in violation of one or more federal and/or state laws.”

The image of Teen in a spread eagle position making her crotch area the focal point of the image may portray a child in a sexually suggestive manner and may be in violation of one or more federal and/or state laws.
They are also concerned about pictures of her holding a beer and riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
After hearing that Kelly Osbourne had made a joke about Courtney Love‘s past drug abuse on E!’s ‘Fashion Police,’ the rocker took to online video site VYou to clear things up.
In response to a fan’s question about the length of her sobriety, Love answered, “The answer is ’05. Since October ’05.”
Love went on to explain how hurt she was by Osbourne’s comments, saying, “Kelly Osbourne and Joan Rivers called me a crackhead on the E! channel. Kelly knows I’m sober. Kelly knows there’s no drugs allowed at my house. I think it’s really lame.”
Love continued her tirade against Osbourne, claiming to have saved the reality star’s life on multiple occasions. “This girl I know, Kelly Osbourne, I’ve saved her life twice,” ranted Love. “I’ve done CPR, I’ve put things in her boobs. [She was on] Oxycontin, cocaine, foaming at the mouth.”
The rocker went on to claim that Sharon Osbourne had paid publicist Max Clifford hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep Kelly’s “huge drug problem” out of the media.
Despite her vehement denial that she was still using drugs, Love later admitted, “I drank rosé this year, I had a bump … but I take my program seriously … I’ve been drunk this year more times … than I have in my entire life.”
While Love had many less-than-flattering accusations about Osbourne’s past, she claimed, “Kelly and me get along great … but it’s gross. I don’t like being the punchline for drugs when I don’t do them, so stop it.”
The lingerie-inspired dress that a young Kate Middleton wore almost a decade ago sold at auction today for more than $125,000, reported People. The sheer dress is rumored to be what Middleton was wearing when she caught Prince William’s eye.
Middleton wore the dress in a 2002 St. Andrews University fashion show. The designer, Charlotte Todd, was also a student at the time and made the piece as part of her coursework.
Todd told People her assignment “was called ‘The Art of Seduction,’ which is quite apt, really. I didn’t know who Kate Middleton was and I didn’t put her in it. It was just pure chance!”
The dress, which cost less than $50 to make and was originally going to be a skirt, was displayed at the Kerry Taylor Auctions Passion for Fashion sale on Thursday among other haute couture dresses worn by Princess Diana. It sold for £78,000 (or $125,884).
“I’m thrilled,” Todd said. “Everyone says that the fashion show was when the romance started and when she bagged her prince, so a small part of me will always be part of royal history. It’s madness!”
RadarOnline.com reports the new owner of the dress hasn’t been identified and was bidding anonymously through a buyer. The buyer revealed that the bidder “thinks it’s an iconic piece and is very happy with the purchase.”
Celebrity endorsements are as profitable as they are plentiful and these days, it seems as if everyone’s in on the action. While some promotional deals are obvious fits, some leave us scratching our heads.
Even for Hollywood’s reigning queens of self-promotion, the Kardashian sisters, some products seem like ridiculous choices. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have moved past their prepaid credit card fiasco with grace, style and, most surprisingly of all, a line of Kardashian Silly Bandz [see above photo].
Jamie Lee Curtis for Activia
Hold your hats, TV watchers, because we’re about to drop some serious wisdom on you: At one point in time, Jamie Lee Curtis’ name was not synonymous with digestive regularity. Hard to believe, we know, but it’s true. There was a time when she was not only an actress, but Hollywood royalty, a teen slasher movie queen, and a bona fide hottie. The woman defeated Michael Myers in five separate installments of ‘Halloween,’ for gosh sake. While Activia may have provided a financial boost to her lagging career, the striptease scene in ‘True Lies’ will just never be the same.
Sofia Coppola Canned Champagne
Sofia Coppola is well-respected. Sofia Coppola is elegant. Sofia Coppola makes wine you drink with a straw? The writer-director’s father, directing legend Francis Ford Coppola, owns a popular winery from which his daughter’s eponymous beverage was born. Pluses: Cute packaging, fun idea, won’t spill while you’re jogging. Cons: Sophistication-wise, canned wine is about a half-step up from chugging Franzia right from the box.
Megan Mullally for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter
Megan Mullallly is one funny woman, as evidenced by everything from guest appearances on ‘Parks and Recreation’ to her longtime role as boozy socialite Karen Walker on ‘Will and Grace.’ So why is she getting down disco-style with a tub of fake butter in the refrigerator aisle? Come on, ‘Will and Grace’ has only been off the air for five years; you couldn’t possibly have spent that money already.
Lil Jon for CRUNK Energy Drink
OK, Mr. Jon, we get it. You like to get crunk. You like to say “crunk.” You like to provide your enthusiastic hyping skills to other peoples’ songs. The thing is, we’re pretty sure pomegranate-flavored energy beverages aren’t the only things you’re sipping out of that pimp chalice you seem so fond of. Oh, and by the way, there’s already a crunk energy drink, it’s called Four Loko, and, unlike your product, it lives up to its name.
Claire Danes for Latisse
Claire Danes is serious about two things: her acting career and long eyelashes. The ‘Temple Grandin’ star and multiple Golden Globe winner, has taken a cue from another former teen star when it comes to her endorsement deals. Danes signed on as the face of Latisse, an eyelash growth product, in 2010, a job also held by Brooke Shields. Side effects include irritation, iris darkening and weirding out your fan base.
However… NOTHING beats Snoop Dogg, and his endorsement of “Blunt Magic.”
A French model who allowed images of her skeletal frame to be photographed and distributed in a shock awareness campaign of the dangers of anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders has died, according to media reports.
Isabelle Caro allowed herself to be photographed by celebrity photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007. The ad campaign highlighting her emaciated figure drew immediate worldwide attention.
Caro died in mid-November after a two-week hospitalization for a lung infection, the Swiss website 20minutes.ch reported Wednesday. Paris Match reported that she was in Japan at the time of her death.
Her age was listed as 28. She first suffered symptoms of anorexia when she was 12 and endured several hospital visits after nearly starving herself to death.
‘You’re stuffed with awful food like a fattened goose. You’re forced to gain weight,’ she said once. ‘And as soon as you’re released, you lose all the weight again. At least that’s the way it was with me.’
After her 2007 photo session, Caro told German magazine Stern that she felt like ‘an ambassador for anorexia.’ The photo session provided her with heightened media awareness.
Two years ago, she released an autobiography titled The Little Girl Who Didn’t Want To Get Fat.
The thought-provoking photos of Caro were simultaneously an awareness campaign, but also advertising for an Italian fashion line. Toscani also photographed AIDS patients and dead soldiers for the campaign.
Paris Hilton announced at a press conference in Madrid, Spain, on Saturday that she has started her own motorcycle racing team called “SuperMartxe VIP by Paris Hilton” (the name refers to a dance party in Ibiza). Aptly, the primary colors of the bike are pink, white and blue.
Hilton promoted the launch of the team by posing with one of the race bikes at the conference in skin-tight, pink and white racing leathers with rhinestone details.
According to the Daily Mail, the team will compete in the 2011 125cc MotoGP World Championship season. As part of Hilton’s contract with the company, she will be in attendance at races over the next five years. She will also be scouting for drivers in partnership with a Barcelona-based team, By Queroseno Racing (BQR).
The 29-year-old uber-socialite was also seen partying at the Supermartxe VIP Party, also in Madrid, where, clad in a tight black dress, she took to the stage and cavorted with dancers.
Just days ago, Hilton revealed her sexy 2010 Christmas card, reading, “Happy holidays to everyone! Love Paris, xoxo”
Apparently, all of you Katy Perry lovers out there that dig the latex dresses that she wears – have Russell Brand to thank for choosing what she wears.
He credits himself for choosing the raunchiest stage outfits that he can find…
He said that he encourages his wife to show off her busty figure and enjoys helping her in the wardrobe department. A source said, “Russell is very hands-on with all Katy’s dresses and loves giving his opinions. He always tells her to show off what God has given her. Russell now really gets involved with what Katy wears. He gets a buzz helping with those decisions.”
I bet!
Russell said, “I would like to endorse that idea. I think I’ve started to wear more colors and she’s started to go darker. She’s started to dress less like a pantomime character and is a bit more sexy – a bit grown up.”
He went on to reveal that he finds it more tedious to shop for himself. He added, “My look is a collision between bondage, seventies rock n’ roll and a gentleman at the Henley Regatta. I don’t go shopping much because I find it hard to commit to an object. Will I ever wear these? Then I question the value of consuming, trying to make yourself feel better just by buying a pair of shoes. I think, ‘Will I feel better after I’ve bought these shoes? Or will I just be me…in some shoes.’”

“It’s a huge honor to be chosen to wear the fantasy bra, every year, every girl hopes that it’s her. It’s so special to wear it, especially during my comeback.”
The show will air on November 30th on CBS and features performances from Katy Perry and Akon.

Furious with the cleaners for turning his brand new white shirt yellow, John Lennon penned this aggressive note to express his dissatisfaction, and rule out the possibility of it being due to Mrs. Yoko Ono’s pit stains.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard about Asians having the sweat glands of a cat! Interesting.
Last month, Tom Brady admitted that he lets supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen style his hair like Justin Bieber. Now it appears that hairstyle has caused a scuffle in the New England Patriots locker room.
CBS Sports columnist Charley Casserly reported Oct. 10 that the two men had a hair battle spectacular before Moss was recently traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
According to Casserly’s account, the men verbally tussled (or should we say tousled?) in the Pats locker room after Brady chided Moss for his recent lackluster play and told him to lose his facial hair.
Moss allegedly responded that Brady needed to cut his long hair because he “looks like a girl.”
No argument there from the Boston media, which has been pleading with Brady for months to return to his clean-cut locks of seasons past.
Even the oft-imitated originator of Brady’s side-swept bangs, teen heartthrob Bieber, recently joined Hub pundits in mocking the 32-year-old football star for his youthful tresses.
Bieber told the Boston Herald, “Nice hair, Brady. Dude’s got some golden locks. Ha ha!” in response to questions about the quarterback’s mop top. He shouldn’t talk, it doesn’t look any better on him.
Meanwhile, Patriots coach Bill Belichick has reportedly said that the feud was “news to me” and claimed no knowledge of the hair fight.
