Source: Daily Intel | 2 Apr 2010 | 4:10 pm J.Crew Creative Director Jenna Lyons Loves Phoebe Philo’s Work at Celine, Shuns the Eighties Revival J.Crew, fall 2010. At J.Crew's fall 2010 presentation at Milk Studios last night, models wore rugged tweeds, textured tights, and outerwear with Mongolian lamb accents. J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons described the look as “Edie Beale goes to Girl Scout camp.” The saucer-sized jewelry and homemade headpieces would definitely be at home in Grey Gardens, and Lyons suggested “slapping brooches all over everything” to achieve this eccentric, layered look.
 Photo: Courtesy of J. Crew For spring, which finally seems to be upon us, Lyons likes minimal looks. “I can’t really wear them, but I love all the paler creams,” she gushed. “What Pheobe Philo is doing for Celine is so beautiful. It’s all about the most expensive fabric in the world, the most beautiful tailoring, the biggest bank accounts, and the most beautiful bodies. It’s not going to happen. Those things aren’t working for me.” However, she's not a fan of the eighties revival, and didn’t escape that decade unscathed herself. “I was committing fashion crime after fashion crime all day long. I had asymmetrical hair. It was bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.” Lyons recently said she would love to do a designer collaboration with Christian Louboutin for footwear. Last night she came up with a slew of designers she'd like to work with. "Alber Ebaz, Phillip Lim, Riccardo Tisci," she said. "YSL — I’m dying. I would love to work with Stefano [Pilati]. I’m a huge fashion freak." As for celebrity design collaborations? “I would have to say Cate Blanchett. I love her. She’s not a clone. If everyone is wearing cupcake dresses she’s not wearing a cupcake dress, she’s wearing something totally different. Or Maggie Gyllenhaal, I love Maggie Gyllenhaal. She looked incredible at the Oscars in that Dries little column dress.” Read more posts by Caitlin Petreycik Filed Under: show and tell, designers, j crew, jenna lyons
Source: The Cut | 2 Apr 2010 | 4:10 pm Editor & Publisher Names Journal CEO Publisher of the Year The recently rescued trade publication Editor & Publisher has decided to give its top honors to another guy who had a tough 2009. They named Les Hinton, CEO of The Wall Street Journal, their publisher of the year. The Journal, they observe, "is in one of the strongest positions of any newspaper in the country." Though, as Jeff Bercovici points out, that's like saying "a shipwreck survivor is the envy of all his friends because of the particularly large and buoyant piece of timber he's clinging to." And we recently learned that the Journal actually lost $80 million last year as they aggressively expanded, while their rival the Times raked in a modest $21 million in operating profit through careful cutbacks. "The Journal's aggressive, market-leading posture is only made possible by the willingness of its owner, Rupert Murdoch, to lose tens of millions of dollars on it, observes Bercovici. "Any executive can construct a facade of success if he's free to ignore the bottom line."

For some awful reason, Gbenga Akinnagbe — whose performance as a homicidal, steely, near-silent, and generally terrifying drug-ring lieutenant Chris Partlow on The Wire was really, really, really good — plays a cartoonish bad guy. His entire appearance in this trailer consists of punching Bow Wow, scowling, and getting punched by Ice Cube (why, yes, he does go flying in the air into some garbage after getting hit!).

News: Entertainment News | 2 Apr 2010 | 3:55 pm We Found the Female Version of a New Head-Turning Russian Mankini Russian designer Slava Zaitsev finished his fashion show in Moscow yesterday with a parade of greasy men wearing Borat-esque mankinis. One style of longer skintight shorts were neon-green-and-black striped, but most of them didn't cover more than what our red-clad friend here wears. "It would take a super-confident man to even contemplate wearing something as revealing as that," someone at the show said. "Borat Mankinis are one thing, but these outfits definitely raise the bar for shocking swimwear." Oh, do they? We're pretty sure unfortunate and hideous swimwear has been around as long as swimwear has been around. And the ladies shan't go without this season!

Source: Vulture | 2 Apr 2010 | 3:55 pm "Don McKay" falls short of dark comic intentions (Reuters)Reuters - "Don McKay" is meant to be an odd film, but it's odd for the wrong reasons. Actors inhabit the film's spaces awkwardly, as if these were not the sets they rehearsed in. Scenes play in a half-halting manner with too much dead space surrounding the actors. Then their characters keep doing strange things, which one assumes will be explained later. When those explanations arrive, their actions make even less sense.Source: Yahoo!

Source: Daily Intel | 2 Apr 2010 | 3:11 pm Thom Browne to Show in Paris Instead of New York From left: fall 2010, spring 2010, and spring 2009. Thom Browne has long wanted to show in Paris instead of New York, which is a rather commercial market for him. And this year he will, on the last day of Paris Men's Fashion Week in June, the same day Lanvin and Paul Smith usually show. This is his first time showing there. He deserves it, and we are happy for him ... but we are also devastated for New York Fashion Week! Each season any number of editors, buyers, and reporters (including this one) could count Thom's show as their favorite. The only sure things about a Thom Browne show are bottoms that are just that much shorter than you'd expect them to be at any other show, along with an utter absence of cankles (granted, one expects that at most fashion shows). After several days of looking at overpriced filmy T-shirts and depressingly tight pants, when the exhaustion has fully set in and the last thing you want to do is drag yourself to the Upper East Side for something that will only last twenty minutes, suddenly Thom's show rolls around and you'd be willing to go to Staten Island to see it. You never know if you're in for crinolines, three-legged pants, mermaid warriors, tails, halter tops, hat masks, or, you know, this. Who else does that in New York with such wit, surprise, and most important, regularity? His show will be dearly missed next season.

Mark Indelicato has spent almost a third of his life playing Justin Suarez on Ugly Betty. “Our last day of shooting was yesterday and I cried for about seven hours straight,” the 15-year-old told us at the canceled sitcom’s wrap party last night. "That’s one of the hardest things that I think I’m going to have to deal with is letting go of a character that has been a part of me, and will always be a part of me, but not getting to bring him out every day.” Indelicato also had to bring this character out of the closet; on March 17's episode, Justin broke ground, kissing another boy on prime-time network TV. “When Silvio [Horta] sort of first introduced the character and what the character was going to do at the beginning of the season, I was very, very scared,” he said. “And I was very, very hesitant; I really was. It was just so awkward to have to, you know, let alone kiss someone in front of a camera, to kiss a boy, and to have that weight on your shoulders of knowing that it’s the first boy-on-boy kiss ever on television, that’s tough,” he said. "That’s what really nerve-racked me the most. It wasn’t kissing the girl or the boy or the this or the that; I didn’t care about that. It was, 'Am I going to do it right?' And I’m really happy with the way it turned out." Read more posts by Bennett Marcus Filed Under: party chat, mark indelicato, tv, ugly betty

Ever since it first debuted in September — the James O'Keefe video attacking ACORN, along with the community organizing group itself — has been unraveling. ACORN finally shuttered last month, and the video was ruled by a Brooklyn judge to be heavily edited to the point of being willfully misleading, and no charges were filed against the group. So just how edited was the film, in which it appeared that ACORN employees advised O'Keefe and his "prostitute" friend on how he, as her pimp, could hide wages from the government? Even though in portions of the video O'Keefe appears dressed as a pimp, full-length tape obtained by the California Attorney General's Office (in exchange for immunity from privacy-violation charges for O'Keefe, who taped ACORN employees without their knowledge) shows that he not only did not dress that way at the ACORN offices, he never even claimed to be a pimp. From a press release from the office of California Attorney General Edmund Brown:
Oh, the old playing-along-with-a-gag mistake. Those ACORN employees should have known that doing that would not only get them fired, but would get their entire national organization shut down. Man.

Source: Vulture | 2 Apr 2010 | 2:15 pm DVF and Ralph Lauren to Open in Soho — Are the Lower-End Stores on the Way Out? After a bleak, recession-addled stretch for Soho, today WWD reports that two high-profile designers will open new stores in the neighborhood: Diane Von Furstenberg at 135 Wooster Street in July, and Ralph Lauren at 109 Prince Street later this fall. DVF's Soho expansion was unplanned — the 2,000-square-foot space (which formerly housed kids' clothier Agatha Ruiz de la Prada) was just "too good not to grab," she says — and will likely stock iconic vintage items from the archive and contemporary best-sellers like handbags. Lauren hasn't revealed a concept for his 8,000-square-foot addition yet, which will replace bedazzle-happy outfitter Replay. With the launch of Isabel Marant's first U.S. shop on Greene Street later this month, the Soho retail scene seems to be expanding beyond its recent fast-fashion fixation. Broadway alone is dotted with Topshop, Desigual, Mango, Uniqlo, Old Navy, and two H&Ms, but the fate of a slew of cheaper stores around Canal Street is uncertain. We love Topshop and H&M as much as the next budget-conscious shopper, but we'll take the likes of DVF over Soho's preponderance of spangles and spandex any day.

Source: The Cut | 2 Apr 2010 | 2:10 pm Okay, Ivanka Trump’s Stalker Is Scarier Than We Thought Yesterday we wondered why the authorities had imported stalker Justin Massler all the way from Reno, Nevada, to charge him with a misdemeanor, when news reports made it sound as though he had merely sent Ivanka Trump a few irate tweets about how he hates her brand and everything she stands for. "Hey, that's not that different from what we do here!" we said to ourselves. But Ivanka had reason to be nervous about Massler, it turns out. First of all, a Trump source tells us, he doesn't live in Nevada — that was just where he happened to be when he was picked up. "He actually lives about three blocks away," from her jewelry store. And Ivanka had a few good reasons for wanting to get a restraining order against him. Such as: • He once purchased an $800 pair of earrings from her jewelry store. "Say here you go it's from some guy named Justin Massler who wrote you a kind of crazy seeming creepy stalkery letter along with it," he wrote to store employees in an e-mail. Despite being self-aware, he apparently "became infuriated" when they would not deliver them to her. • He wrote her some very freaky letters before her wedding: "Massler told Ivanka her husband was all that stood between him and happiness," according to the Post. "Jared Kushner has stolen everything from me, leaving me with nothing. Jared Kushner has ruined my life for all time and eternity," Massler wrote. "Thanks to Kushner, there is no sun in the sky, no stars in the wind and no moon in the trees." • And he e-mailed Jared a suicide threat: "I will specifically kill myself at Ivanka Trump jewelry," he said. Oh. Some people sure do show their love in different ways.

There's not much information on Abbie Cornish's role, unfortunately, so we're gonna guess, uh, pharmaceutical sales rep?

Last night’s brand new episode of The Real Housewives of New York City was an emotional rollercoaster made out of live grenades. Kelly showed up to her Playboy interview only to find actor Sam Rockwell awaiting her with sexy open arms. Luanne hulked around. Ramona managed to stomp her little bound feet and throw a restaurant tantrum. Bethenny and Jill erupted into one of the most epic phone fights in housewives history. And all Alex wanted to do was plan a fashion show in Brooklyn. As is becoming tradition, I phoned my Mother in Miami in between commercial breaks to get her thoughts on what was transpiring. Read through her recap here, but make sure to read it all the way through… by the end, even she didn’t know what to believe anymore.
Kelly’s interview guy was a good looking guy. But her pouting! I wanted to take like some sandpaper and wipe it off her face… I hate her. ‘What do you read? (snotty voice) My children’s books.’ She couldn’t even name a book, not even a kiddie book! She needs to read a European book? Really? How about some f**kin american… any literature! I just can’t. I only hope the guy doesn’t call her. I think he felt obligated to ask her out because she was like drooling all over him. On Jill Zarin, Before the Epic Phone Call with Bethenny: Let me tell you, sooner than later Jill is going to alienate everybody. Did you see the email she just sent to Kelly? Kelly’s right! What business… this is a show, this is New York, they’re in the same circle… she’s just not ashamed?? What is this?? I see that Bethenny is trying to smooth things over. But Jill is so cocky. She is gonna get f*cked, Michelle, at the end, you wait and see. Bethenny needs to lay low. Because Jill is going to f*ck herself, you’ll see. Jill is literally uncontrollable. And what the hell is her daughter doing modeling for Seventeen? That knedle… Curves?? She looks like a matzah ball! She did, I’m sorry. (Ed. Note: Should explain to you how I was raised.) On Kelly in General: Great figure. Mr. Ed with a great body. “Oh I was married to Gilles Bensimon!” Yeah, really? So how come you divorced him? I don’t give a sh*t who you were married to! I think he was Jewish. Anytime you hear Ben , it’s “son of.” Gilles Son of Shee-mone. On Ramona Singer’s Lunchtime Breakdown: You know what? I felt so bad for the girlfriend. She looked like a normal woman. And I’m looking at the look in her eye, and I’m thinking “I feel so bad for you that you’re stuck there with this meshuggah.” I’m sure she grew up with a crazy father, whatever, on the other hand I like Mario. I like him a lot. Ramona would be pretty if not her meshuggeneh eyes. Every time she bulges them out… I think “What is that?”
Let me tell you something: That Alex is a lady. On Luann de Lesseps: She turned from a Contessa to a pathetic creature, in my opinion. A. She has no social standing. You can call her Contessa all you want, it doesn’t mean anything. One time Daddy had a dog named contessa — No, Princess! Daddy’s dog was a Princess, excuse me. I’ll admit that the Hamptons is f*cking gorgeous. What a house… It’s worth millions. Look she’s a multimillionairess, shes just, without that Count, she’s like a nothing. Basically. She’s not even a Dame. Lady. Dame. Then… Baroness. Margaret Thatcher is Baroness. There is an order, you know. Then Countess, is above Baroness. After the infamous phone call that closed out the show, my phone rings. And believe it or not, Mother was singing an altogether different Jill tune: Let me tell you something. Jill is right. Jill is right. Because before this whole book business, Bethenny was the poorest one of all of them. She spent time with Jill, Hamptons, Shmamptons, then not to come and visit Bobby? She’s crying because she knows she f*cked up. You go it’s a mitzvah. “I heard that he’s sick. Can I come and visit?” Something. Oh wow.
I stopped being friendly with Leslie Lefkowitz for something similar. I was going to have a big dinner party, and all of a sudden I came down with this eye infection. Conjunctivitis. It was contagious. I was worried people would catch it. So I canceled the dinner. That motherf**ker never called once! “Judy, hi, it’s me, how is your eye?” If this were me, wouldn’t I call up to find out how my friend’s eye is? I thought “What am I friendly with a bunch of selfish bitches for? F*ck her!” And wow. Bethenny. Wow. I think she knows she f*cked up. I think so. It looks like it. Of all the Housewife seasons, this is the best. The bickering that they have, this and that and this, it’s just amazing. A lot of animosity. It’s like a bad cocktail. *END* Thanks, Mom, for your unfailingly brutal insights.

Source: The Cut | 2 Apr 2010 | 1:25 pm Join Me and Your Favorite Bands on the VH1 Best Cruise Ever!
What are you doing this April? The answer to that question is simple… you should be booking your cabin on the VH1 Best Cruise Ever presented by Sixthman, a 4 day oceanic adventure hosted by 3 Doors Down and featuring the bands Lifehouse, Shinedown, Angel Taylor, and Carolina Liar, among others, as well as a NON-STOP activity extravaganza including non-stop music, people and alcohol. Sure, there are many other things on board the Carnival Inspiration (casino, theme nights, live concerts… me), but let’s face it, we’re all pretty much there for the music and alcohol, right? That’s 10 percent of the reason I myself am going. The other 90 percent boils down to, yes, the line-up — featuring plenty of VH1 You Oughta Know artists which you can check out here – and the ship’s destination: The Grand Cayman Islands. You’ll be “Looking good, Louis” on Seven Mile Beach, known for its water and sand (I just made this up, but technically all beaches are known for this). If you love the ocean, this is your paradise. You can pet a stingray while scuba diving! I plan on going all the way and sexting a stingray at some point, but that’s just because of how I was raised. The VH1 Best Cruise Ever sets sail from Tampa on April 15 and returns from the Grand Cayman Islands on April 19 — the perfect short getaway from your winter induced blues. But cabins are filling up, so book fast before it’s too late. I’ll be there along with some other VH1 personalities hosting a handful of events and, yes, shaking hands with the captain*. (*Not a euphemism.) Check out www.vh1bestcruiseever.com or call 877-SIXTHMAN to book your cabin now. Hope to see you on the poop deck*. (*Again, not a euphemism.) Source: Best Week Ever | 2 Apr 2010 | 1:15 pm The 50 Most Depressed Easter BunniesOn Sunday, Christian families will gather all over the world to celebrate Easter, the day when Jesus Christ was brought back from the dead. To celebrate, people paint eggs in Martha Stewart inspired pastels, go to church, and eat But perhaps the most symbolic entity Easter has to offer, other than a relaxed J-man, is a soft and cuddly Easter Bunny. It’s the one day a year people actually give a care about rabbits. But you know? We secretly think the rabbits might not be too super-psyched about it. Laying eggs? Getting their ears pulled by thousands of small children, their fingers stained neon, their eyes swirling from chocolate sugar highs? “No thank you.” — All rabbits. Which is why we’ve compiled this list of The 50 Most Depressed Easter Bunnies. Despite what you are about to see, we’d like to wish you a very Happy Easter!
Source: Best Week Ever | 2 Apr 2010 | 1:02 pm GAMES: Jesus? Or the Parking Attendant from Ferris Bueller?Most everyone the world over has heard about or believes in the man, the legend, Jesus Christ. Really, everyone: Sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, d*ckheads. They all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude. But one thing we’ve never quite pinned down is what Jesus looked like. A few things are understood: He was probably white, had a beard, tons of abs… but really, his actual face is still a mystery. Well, the History Channel has taken it upon themselves to figure out what Jesus looked like in their upcoming Easter Special The Real Face of Jesus, airing April 3 at 8 PM ET. Using much more outdated 3-D technology than what you probably saw in Avatar, and the controversial Shroud of Turin, scientists have painted a picture of the real Jesus. And wanna know what? Jesus looked a heck of a lot like the Parking Attendant from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. So much so that we decided to put this little game for you together. For each photo, you have to guess… Is it the Real Jesus? Or Ferris Bueller Parking Attendant? Rinse your eyes out with some water from the Dead Sea and get your paper and pencils ready… here we go: a.
