Jaden Smith is too adorable! Not to sound like a creeper – but can I keep him Will & Jada?
If fashion was porn, this dress is the money shot!

Missed out on everything fashion week! Too much backtracking to blog about with London, Italy and Paris. Balmain and Uncle Karl came out to amaze the world though!! Now onto The 82nd Annual Academy Awards red carpet looks.
Something about the Vera Wang dress above fascinates me. It is my favorite look that graced the red carpet last night. Following in ranking are Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan, Gabourey Sidibe in Marchesa, Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier and Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta. Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham is worth an honorable mention or rather Cyrus’ stylist should recieve praise.
Next are the penguins! Hehe. That is my name for the guys because it is known that the Academy Awards are a black and white tux plus bowtie affair. No funny stuff here. That is what the Grammys or even the VMAs are for. Anywho, here are the list of my top four with Zac Efron (unsure who he wore but one of the few who opted for a tie), Lenny Kravitz (unsure of what he wore too), Taylor Lautner in Dolce & Gabbana and Jake Gyllenhall in Burberry.
Lastly, my favorite couple of the night was Sam Worthington from Avatar with girlfriend, Natalie Mark. This is solely because of her GOWN! Not really her look… but the gown is amazing if you look at the bead work closely.
And cousin, business is A-Boomin’.

On February 18th, 2010 from 6p – 9p the world will get to preview and purchase the “Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds” at The Upper Playground Art Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles. All proceeds from this program will be donated to The American Red Cross to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. Each print will be numbered and signed by Quentin Tarantino. Only six (6) of each amount will be made. The prints can be viewed at http://www.upperplayground.com/inglouriousbasterds.php beginning Tuesday February 15, 2010.
If I was not in art school and did not have an endless amount of fabric, charcoal and paper to pay for I would dip into my pocket and purchase one, even at the steep price of $300. Sigh. To view all of the prints in this fabulous collection click here.
That Rihanna reign JUST won’t let up…

By now we have all been introduced to Ms. Rihanna Fenty. Your opinion on her you should keep to yourself. There is no denying that her career took off almost three years ago in 2007 after her smash hit Umbrella with Jay-Z. Since her Good Girl Gone Bad album, a follow-up to it was highly anticipated.
She remained under the scrutinizing watch of the tabloids and TMZ, with every day something new being found out about her. With the media paying such careful attention to her, she also earned a watchful eye from the fashion world as well but the thing was… this was a good thing. Yes, scandal surrounds the girl at every waking moment but anyone who saw her on covers of magazines, tabloids, newspapers and so forth noticed what she wore. It began defining her more than the rumors that made their rounds around gossip sites.
Like any celebrity admired for their fashion sense (i.e. early Madonna), it slowly was copied and pasted across the world by fans. The thing is, some people think that Rihanna had a hand in this all by herself but those in fashion know behind every well-dressed celebrity is an amazing stylist. Ms. Fenty is no different. This is where credit is due and you have Mariel Haenn to thank for it. She played the biggest role in her career, transforming her from the cute 16-year-old Caribbean girl to that b*tch you are afraid of. I mean her outfits are DANGEROUS. Spikes, rips, studs, points. At this point, I am amazed she has yet to injure herself. Though she has admitted to Ellen Degeneres in a recent interview that she “stabbed a couple of people giving them hugs”. Poor them.
Here is a sampling of her fashion transformation on stage and in videos.

“Apple Stealing Bandits” a.k.a. some random title for a random blog entry. By the way it’s the title of the hit song from this Swedish Rap-Jazz group, Movitz. Yes I listen to music I don’t understand, but hey the Japanese love Britney Spears and I doubt they ALL know what (Hit Me Baby) One More Time was about! Speaking of Brit-Brit, I thought I would speak on some Gossip and News. Lately I have been all over AP and the NY Times apps on my iTouch. They are greatttt for when you’re bored! Besides that frequently been checking MediaTakeOut, PerezHilton, ConcreteLoop and NecoleBitchie. Sooo what has been going on with the world?! It was not until I checked all of this News and Gossip did I realize the world is quite random and stupid. It’s truly like we all live in an episode of Family Guy.
In News headlines there was a little boy who held up two other kids with a toy gun.. while on his scooter! C’mon now. But this other one will have you saying WTF – a Florida teen held up a 7-11 with his fingers in the form of a gun. You know like when you were a kid playing Cops & Robbers? Yeah, he did that AND got away with robbing the place!!! Either that boy is a genius or that guy behind the counter is slow in the membrane. The most random headline I have heard.. Cancun closed down their beach because of stolen sand! Haha I’m DONE with these headlines now.
In Music news, has anyone not heard Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon get ethered by Eminem?! Was I the only one impressed? Em has not sound that good since his sophmore album in my opinion. Nick’s poor excuse to a comeback was to resorting to twitter! That truly made me LOL. Next Drake has suffered a crazy injury after a performance last night in New Jersey. Dude already had a torn ACL and went on to perform despite doctor’s orders. Would have been fine had he not attempted a spin on stage causing him to collapse on stage.. Ah no we don’t need Drake to go Jimmy on us. Degrassi was your past! Besides that, Diddy in some way knows he is not as good as Drake or Jay-Z. He has pushed back his album Last Train to Paris claiming it’s “Jay-Z and Drake time”. C’mon admit it already – you are not a rapper Sean Combs! Please.. just spare us all. PLEASE?
