Obsession of the Moment: Kenneth Jay Lane Bangles

Fashion & Beauty - Monday, February 8, 2010 13:08 - 0 Comments

Kenneth Jay Lane makes gorgeous, fun statement jewelry and his new bangles are to die for! I love this gold pave bracelet that was modeled by Katie Cassidy in this month’s Cosmopolitan magazine. This bangle is perfect for stacking with other gold bangles that you already have. I would buy two and stack them with a different bangle in the middle. I love this look for the Spring!

Another look I love? The chain link trend! I love how chunky and luxe the chain link necklaces and bracelets look. It’s an over the top trend that works on women that are not afraid to take risks!

Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush Celebrate The Saints Win!

Celebrity Buzz - Monday, February 8, 2010 10:29 - 0 Comments

Kim Kardashian was there to witness her boyfriend, Reggie Bush win the Super Bowl with the Saints on Sunday night. She talked to PEOPLE about the win.

“I am so proud of Reggie and the Saints!” an overjoyed Kardashian tells PEOPLE. “New Orleans deserves this – it’s such a huge accomplishment!”

Kardashian made the Miami trip a family affair, bringing along mom Kris Jenner and brother Robert. The group dined with Bush and his family at Prime 112 Friday night.

The Saints’ stunning 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts was the perfect ending to a long road that Kardashian witnessed firsthand. “Reggie has waited his whole life for this moment. It came and they conquered.”

So how does Kardashian sum up the day? “It was a really good win!”

No matter what happens between Kim and Reggie, she will always be the girlfriend that watched him win his first Super Bowl. That is a pretty amazing memory to share with someone. I was rooting for the Saints, but would have been fine if the Colts had won. My favorite moment after the game was when cameras caught Drew Brees holding his son with tears in his eyes. Precious.

The Bachelor’s Corrie Talks About Being Eliminated

Entertainment - Saturday, February 6, 2010 12:15 - 0 Comments

The Bachelor’s Corrie Adamson, 23, made audiences cringe during her awkward boat ride with Bachelor Jake. Not only that, but after confessing that she was a virgin during their one-on-one date, he eliminated her during the rose ceremony. PEOPLE talks to Corrie about how she felt during the dates and who she thinks Jake will choose.

You complained you were always a step behind the others.
Jake and I had only one date. Our one-on-one was very much a first date. My feelings for him were not extremely developed and I was behind the other girls. There were a lot of strong personalities there and they dominated our [group] time with Jake. I’m not loud and look-at-me so I don’t think Jake got to see how much I laugh or how easygoing I am. In his defense, how hard is it to pay attention to eight girls at one time?

Should you have pursued him more aggressively?
It isn’t really my personality to go after a guy. I let them come after me. I was just being myself. In general, there isn’t anything I’d do too differently. I got to the top five [not] chasing after him and there were girls who were chasing and got sent home before me. He’ll be a catch for whoever he ends up with, but I don’t think I was the girl for Jake. We just didn’t click.

Should you have kissed Jake earlier?
No. I was not about to kiss him on a group date when he was kissing girls a minute before and after me.

Was the boat ride as awkward as it appeared on TV?

It was my favorite part of the date. We had a lot of fun. He had the perfect opportunity and he didn’t take it. I’m a hard girl to read and I’d been standoffish so I don’t think Jake knew if I wanted him to kiss me or not.

Did Jake’s demeanor change once he found out you’re a virgin?
I think he saw me younger after that and associated that with not having life experiences. But it has nothing to do with my age. If I was Jake’s age and single, I would still be a virgin. And it isn’t because I didn’t have opportunities or am immature. It takes more maturity to put that off.

The show’s preview reel showed you having a breakdown when the virginity issue came up but it wasn’t in the episode.
I did get upset after that conversation. It didn’t happen the way you saw it. The question came out of nowhere and caught me off guard. He’d asked if I’d ever had a one-night stand. I said no and he said, “Are you saving yourself for marriage?” It’s very personal and isn’t something I go announcing on first dates. I’m proud of it, but I didn’t feel it was the right time to have that conversation.

And now the information is out there as you go back to dating.
I didn’t want that coming out on national TV because I want to be able to tell the person that I’m with. It’s frustrating that it’s something they’ll already know now. But I’ve gotten a lot of emails from girls that have been like, “Thank you. You have given me confidence as someone who has made that same decision.” It’s not always a popular decision so it ended up being a good thing.

Did you know you weren’t getting a rose?
I knew when we lined up at the rose ceremony because we talked about the fantasy suite and that I wasn’t willing to do it, and I knew it was important to Jake to get alone time. I wasn’t where he needed me to be and that would put me even farther behind. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hanging out with a guy behind closed doors, but people wonder if they are having sex. I didn’t want to give people any room to doubt [my virginity] or think I’m saying one thing and doing another.

Do you think he’s found the one?
Honestly, when I left, I didn’t see him with anyone long term. But I think that him and Vienna and Ali had a strong connection. I wouldn’t be surprised to see [him pick Vienna]. She probably makes Jake feel really young and like a man. But I would be surprised if they last. As far as what Jake said he was looking for, they’re very different.

Why is she so hated by the women and do you believe all the rumors about her affairs and stealing money from her ex?
Vienna has a big personality that clashes with the other girls. I don’t think she’s intentionally mean, but she’s young and doesn’t think before she speaks. She’s a funny girl. You have to take [the gossip] with a grain of salt. I think a lot of it is rumors. I don’t think she has a malicious heart, but if Jake would have seen things that went on with just the girls around, the final four would have been different.

I have been really wrapped up in this season. I have no idea why, but I can’t enough of these girls! Jake is ridiculous and cheesy and these girls will do ANYTHING to get with him! Vienna is the ultimate. Every other girl hates her and she keeps on doing the most annoying things around Jake. She is foul. I felt bad for Corrie when she was on her date with Jake because there was absolutely no chemistry. I think she should be proud to be a virgin, but on the other hand, she has to understand that a man that is almost 30 probably doesn’t want to deal with that. She claims that she still has life experiences, but she probably hasn’t had relationship experiences that went beyond a certain level. She will definitely find a guy- he might just be closer to her age and passionate about the same things that she is. I cannot even wait to see how much of a hot mess situation the hometown dates are going to be! You know that Ali and Vienna’s parents are going to be super annoying!

Kim Kardashian & Kendra Wilkinson Duke It Out

Celebrity Buzz - Saturday, February 6, 2010 12:04 - 0 Comments

Ryan announced, “This is the real showdown, baby. Let the claws come out!”

And Kim quickly got into the spirit of things, saying to Kendra, “I’m going to poison your coffee!” Kendra responded by bringing up the rumors about Kim and Reggie possibly getting engaged if The Saints win.

When it was brought up however, Kim was quick to shoot it down. “What rumor?” she retorted. “I would want him to enjoy his moment if they win…like I would turn it around and be like ‘now it’s my time’? No…I want him to enjoy his time and that’s totally a rumor.”

As for Kim and Kendra’s game day plan, Kendra says she’ll wear “a jersey made that says ‘Mrs. Baskett’.” Hank Jr. “will be wearing [his father's] jersey.” And she also made arrangements for Hank Jr. during the game. “We’re going to sit in a box and well have headphones on him so he doesn’t hear so much noise.”

As for Kim, she’s too superstitious to wear a jersey on game day. She says she’ll opt for a “Balmain jacket, T-shirt and jeans and some boots…I always wear something in [Saints team colors] black and gold.”

One thing is for sure- the Super Bowl is going to be heated this year! I have not looked forward to a game this much in years! I am pretty neutral on what team I want to win, but I am leaning towards The Saints. I won’t be disappointed either way! Let the parties begin!

Tiger Woods Leaves Rehab!

Tiger Woods has reportedly left his 6 week rehab stint in Mississippi.  His wife, Elin came to pick her husband up with multiple security guards in tow. Elin has allegedly told her divorce lawyer to take a hike, but is still not wearing her wedding ring.

I have to say I really thought that Elin would be filing for divorce. She is so young and she would have millions minus the baggage. I guess only time will tell!

Lindsay Lohan: Celebrity Hoarder?

Celebrity Buzz - Friday, February 5, 2010 10:45 - 0 Comments

There is no one in Hollywood I feel more sorry for than Lindsay Lohan. She actually has talent and a few short years ago she was on the short list to become a major Hollywood movie star. In 2010, she is being featured on The Insider for being a hoarder. Yes, that is how low she has fallen. In the segment, Lindsay takes Niecy Nash into her home which is completely messy and disorganized and strewn with boxes and clothes. The saddest part is that Lindsay would have had some time to clear up some of the clutter before the cameras came into her house.

I wish that Lindsay could escape from Hollywood for a couple of years and just gain some perspective. Then the world of movies could accept her again and she might be able to garner some respect. You can do it Lindsay!

Nick Jonas & Selena Gomez Are Dating Again!

Celebrity Buzz - Wednesday, February 3, 2010 15:20 - 0 Comments

After a couple of weeks of speculation it seems that Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez are going public with their reunited romance! Nick and Selena were spotted leaving Phillipe in LA and posing for pics with fans. Nick even attempts to grab her hand at one point! I wonder if this is one of the reasons that Selena and Taylor Swift have become closer than her and Demi? It seems that Demi has been jealous of Selena’s friendship with Taylor- at least that was the impression that we got on Twitter!

Miley is obviously even less of a fan of Selena now that she is getting a second chance with Miley’s first love. Miley, her new boyfriend Liam, and Demi were all spotted eating dinner at Jerry’s Deli. I think I see the beginning of a newfound friendship! I guess Demi has gotten over the fact that Miley used to make fun of her and Selena on YouTube.

I think Nick and Selena are a cute couple and I am giving them my stamp of approval!

The Final Season of Lost Premieres Tonight!

Entertainment - Tuesday, February 2, 2010 16:23 - 1 Comment

This is it! The final season of Lost kicks off tonight and finally all of our questions will start getting answered! This show has changed the face of television and I am so anxious to see what they have in store for us this season!

The hardest thing about following Lost is the fact that it is usually many months between the season finale and the start of the next season. Let’s go back and recap where we left off.

The Lost crew is stuck in the 70’s. They tried unsuccessfully to blow up the Dharma Initiative’s Swan station- with a bomb The Others had buried on the island many years ago.

Sawyer tried to save Juliet from falling into the deep trench where the bomb was located, but he couldn’t save her. Minutes from impending death, Juliet knocks the bomb with a rock and detonates it. We have no idea what happens after that!

OK! Magazine put together a list of 16 questions that we hope will get answered:

1. Why doesn’t Richard age? At the end of the fifth season he said, “I’m this way because of Jacob [Mark Pellegrino].” What does that mean?

2. How does the smoke monster choose its victims? Why does it come from the temple? What is the temple’s connection to Jacob and the statue of the Egyptian god Horus? Does Jacob control the smoke monster? Does the “Man in Black” (Titus Welliver)?

3. Who or what is the Man in Black? Was he living in “Jacob’s cabin” and then escaped it?

(Warning: crazy Lost theories ahead …)

So far, here is what we know about the cabin:

Led by Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson), because the cabin’s impossible to find, John Locke (Terry O’Quinn) “met” some kind of spirit inside of it (the spirit said, “Help me” to Locke, but Ben said he couldn’t hear anything); Locke had a dream about the Dharma Initiative’s Horace Goodspeed (Doug Hutchison), who told Locke that he was building the cabin for his wife; Locke later encountered an otherworldly Christian Shephard (John Terry) and Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin), who was presumably dead at that point, in the cabin; Hurley freaked out after spotting a scary eyeball in the cabin’s window; and, at the end of the fifth season, Ilana’s (Zuleikha Robinson) group found the cabin, minus the circle of black ash that had surrounded it. Whatever had “escaped” the cabin, Ilana, Bram (Brad William Henke) and the rest seemed to know that it was not something positive.

Based on this – and knowing that the Man in Black possessed Locke’s dead body in the end of season five in order to convince Ben to kill Jacob – can we deduce that the Man in Black can possess any dead body on the island? Could he have done so with the body of Christian Shephard on multiple occasions, all in an effort to trick Locke into helping him?

4. Who was Jacob talking about when he said, “They’re coming?” And what is it about his touch that marks each of the people he visits in the off-island world? The people he visits are, as follows:  Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Hurley, Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews), Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim), Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) and Jack.

5. How could the Others worship someone like Jacob (who seems to be a benevolent force) and yet commit murder and kidnap people and do everything in their power to keep the island a secret?

6. What’s the deal with Charles Widmore (Alan Dale), anyway? Why is he so protective of the island? Why does he do such underhanded things in order to get back to it? Why does he have a painting in his office that’s a near replica of the cave paintings once shown in the Swan station? Why does he hate Desmond David Hume (Henry Ian Cusick)?

7. What is so special about Desmond that time travel does not seem to affect him the same way it does other characters? Why is Desmond the favorite character of so many female viewers? Wait, that’s not really a mystery …

8. Why is Christian Shephard so connected to each character, perhaps more so than anyone else on the show?

9. If Juliet sets off the bomb and causes “the incident” in the ’70s, how does it alter the future for the Losties? If the bomb explodes, do they die or do they just get zapped back into their present-day bodies? (Characters have a habit of doing that on Lost now, just body-hopping through time, Billy Pilgrim style.)

10. Why is it that people who are supposedly dead are sometimes seen walking around on the island? What is the whispering?

11. Does every character who time-travels to the ’70s actually cause the problems they have to deal with in present day?  It seems that the interactions Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, Miles Straume (Ken Leung), Hurley, Sayid, Faraday and Jin have while sporting their cool ’70s jumpsuits and even cooler ’70s hairstyles (quite possibly the best part of the fifth season) have direct connections to who they are in 2007 …

For example: If Juliet detonates the bomb and inadvertently causes “the incident” (instead of avoiding it, as everyone had hoped), could she be the source of why women can’t have babies on the island? It would be the ultimate in ironies, considering that she is recruited in present day to come to the island as a doctor who might be able to fix that problem. Also, we learned last season that the monster that is Ben Linus might be a direct result of time-traveling Sayid shooting him (and, of course, Ben’s alcoholic father –Jon Gries, otherwise known as Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite).

12. Why is it that certain characters can’t die on the island if it is not yet time for them to do so? Why does every character show their best side when they’re on the island and their worst side when they are off of it?

13. What’s the story behind the Black Rock? Was Richard Alpert on it? We also need a little more explanation behind how Radzinsky (Eric Lange) and Dr. Pierre Chang (François Chau) end up programming those Dharma stations (with the hieroglyphics, etc.).

14. Why did Claire disappear? Did she die?

15. Has this whole thing just been about the debate Jacob has with the Man in Black, and has it happened several times, with the same characters (because of the time traveling), although not one of them knows that this is the case?

16. Why is the island so hard to find, and why does time travel seem to be a key component in getting on or off of it?  Why does turning the frozen donkey wheel make characters end up in the middle of the desert? And, most importantly, what’s with the polar bears?!

No doubt these questions will give you something to think about tonight! Most of all I am anxious to see what they do with Locke’s storyline! It has also been rumored that many of our favorite cast members from the past will be returning. Bring on Charlie!

Style Star: Jenna Dewan

Celebrity Buzz - Tuesday, February 2, 2010 16:08 - 2 Comments

Jenna Dewan looked fantastic on the red carpet supporting her hubby, Channing Tatum. Channing has the starring role in the upcoming movie “Dear John” with Amanda Seyfried. Jenna and Channing always make a stunning couple, but Jenna has really blossomed into a glamorous Hollywood starlet. She makes her long black dress look anything but boring!

Kourtney Kardashian Brings Baby Mason To A Radio Interview!

Kourtney Kardashian brought her baby, Mason Dash to a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest. So cute! I wonder where Scott was? I was expecting Scott to be by her side at all times after that male model has come out and said that he might be the father! Obviously that guy just wants to be famous, but you can never be too sure!

2010 Grammy Awards: Best & Worst Dressed

Fashion & Beauty - Monday, February 1, 2010 12:37 - 0 Comments

The Grammy Awards are THE awards show for fun and edgy fashion choices. I can officially say that I am completely over Carrie Underwood’s (always have been) style as well as Taylor Swift’s. Honey, retire the sparkle dresses for every awards show! I love her, but she needs to diversify her wardrobe choices!

My best dressed stars on the red carpet would be Lea Michele and Pink.

First off, I don’t think that I have ever nominated Pink as a best dressed contender! She absolutely worked it in every way last night! It was like she was saying, “I am still here, people!” She knocked us all down! Her dress was absolutely stunning- the crystal detail, the gray ombre color. it was gorgeous and glamorous at the same time.

Lea Michele looked amazing in a black, one-shoulder Romona Keveza dress. THIS is the kind of sexy, yet age appropriate dress that Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift should have been wearing. It was perfect! I loved the fuller skirt and the drapery over the shoulder.

The color of the night was white on the red carpet! But of course, not everyone can follow the correct fashion trends. Case in point, my worst dressed nominee: Britney Spears (in D&G). I hate to do it, but she just looked so toe-up. She used to rule the red carpet at these shows. She always wowed us with her daring fashion choices. Now she just looked like she decided to show up to the show at the last minute.

Lady Gaga is never going to be my best dressed nominee, but I have to appreciate her effort to be different.

Pink Rocks The House Down!

Entertainment - Monday, February 1, 2010 12:10 - 0 Comments

Pink’s performance was by far my favorite performance of the night. Everyone was talking about Beyonce’s powerhouse performance, but all my focus was on Pink. Her performance showed real creativity and heart. Hello, we have all seen Beyonce being “fierce” and prancing around a stage. Pink, however, sang a gorgeous rendition of her song “Glitter in the Air.” Her acrobatics in the air was the most phenomenal part of it! I was constantly on edge thinking that she was going to fall! Amazing!

The Bachelor’s Jason Mesnick To Marry Molly Malaney On TV

Celebrity Buzz - Thursday, January 28, 2010 18:22 - 0 Comments

Last year at this time, The Bachelor’s Jason Mesnick stunned everyone by choosing Molly Malaney over Melissa Rycroft. Now Jason and Molly are engaged and getting married on TV in a special to air on March 8th.

The special will feature Molly and Jason as they plan the wedding of their televised dreams (barf). Of course, past Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants will be invited to the wedding. This is the second time ABC has filmed a reality TV couple getting married. Trista and Ryan got hitched in 2003 and 17 million viewers tuned in!

Let’s just say that those numbers will not be happening this time!
