Gift Idea: Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s book “How to Be Famous”

So you’ve probably heard about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s book, How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture.  I mean, there are no words.  I haven’t actually bought a copy of this book but from the Amazon.com summary, I automatically thought this would be the PERFECT holiday gift for your celebrity-obsessed friend or wannabe actress friend.  Hilarious.  Here’s the Amazon summary:

From braving the wilds of Los Angeles to the Costa Rican jungle, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have learned a thing or two about reality…television, that is.

Gossip Girl spotted in PROVA!

So Gossip Girl star, Michelle Trachtenberg was spotted wearing the super chic line, PROVA scarves at the 83rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.  Though PROVA is definitely on the pricier side, these scarves are classic and luxurious and I’m also falling in a little bit of love with the scarf that Michelle is wearing.  Can’t resist the leopard print.

Nippies by Bristols6

So I was checking out one of my favorite blogs, SkinnyPurse.com, and saw this great post on Nippies by Bristols6.  Nippies are truly a great solution to this season’s sheer runway looks.  And with celeb followers like Rachel Bilson, Rihanna and Katy Perry, there’s really no room for argument.  Anyone else notice the lack of “nipple slip” celeb incidents lately?  I remember back in the hay-day of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton…it seemed like one of them was flashing at least once a week!  Check out the whole line here and avoid your own celebrity “wardrobe malfunction.”

Harajuku Lovers announces the launch of Sunshine Cuties

So I’ve written many, many posts on Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku Lovers perfume line and it honestly keeps getting better and better.  Harajuku Lovers just announced the new launch of Sunshine Cuties – a new limited edition line extension of summer scents, hitting stores in February 2010!  They’ve changed up their outfits, tanned (I assume faux tan) the girls up and changed up the fragrances a bit based on each girl’s personality.  Can. not. wait. for February.

House of Harlow by Nicole Richie for bebe

So I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for House of Harlow by Nicole Richie for bebe last week at bebe’s Rodeo Drive store in Beverly Hills.  The event was fab and the jewelry, even better than expected.  The best part about the collection is that Nicole and bebe have created a one-of-a-kind keepsake bracelet that is sold in bebe stores and bebe.com throughout December with 25% of sales donated to the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation.  Sadly, Nicole was too sick to attend the launch event but I did manage to spot Nick Verreos, of Project Runway fame and Lou Diamond Phillips, who I most recently watched on my guilty pleasure, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.  What did I purchase?  The Aztec Necklace in black.  Such a statement piece.

Taylor Jacobson has left Rachel Zoe, Inc.!

So I just read this article on People.com and I’m sure that I’m not the only person who isn’t shocked.  Taylor Jacobson has left Rachel Zoe, Inc!  I’m completely obsessed with the Rachel Zoe Project, as are many, so if you’re also an avid watcher, you know that all Taylor did was basically complain about everything.  As annoying as it was was to listen to the constant bitching, it was evident that Taylor IS actually good at what she does.  BTW- loooove the coat she wears in the above photo.  Here’s what her statement email said:

“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”
