Hi-Heeled Sneakers - Fashion DON'T

Okay, I adore high heels, you hotties know that, right? But, sweetie, gaw-jus high heels these aren't! Mariah Carey, when are you going to just put away the gawdiness? Sweetie, please just dress normal! Cover it up! I admit I have jumped right back on the Mariah slut-wagon, with such catchy tunes like Shake it Off but please honey, the majority of Americans would rather listen than watch. Ew, ew ew. High Heeled Sneakers are just plain WRONG. WRONG, I say. Mariah: Go right this minute and pick up the phone and call Nicole Richie. Please. Images: Mariah daily

Another one bites the dust

Oh, Alias, why do your writers not call me? I could have told you that this season was not good! You should have never killed off Vaughn (Michael Vartan) , and we don't like jump-the-shark storylines! You used to be a smart, sexy series, now I find other things to devote my time with. And, I am not alone.

Jennifer Garner, now that you are a household name, I really hope you can fidn another series like this one that made you a superstar. But, alas, I don't think it's possible. At least you have Ben Affleck.

Yes hotties, this May will mark the absolute end of Alias. Boo...

Well if this isn't a turn of events

In a week of so-sad breakup news, this one is ok. (promise). Kimberly Stewart and Talan Torriero have called it quits. Say it together now... Awwww. I know, I know, you're thinking, "how can this match made in heaven not prevail?"

Well, this hottie gave it at least a month or so. Do their publicists not know to announce a breakup when the most important break-up ever (well, except for Brad and Jen, RIP) has taken place? Yeesh.

I think we all deserve a good cry

I am so upset I just can't speak. On a day of Thankgiving, no less!!!

Newlyweds they are no longer. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have officially split up. This hottie told you it was coming, but I never realized how upset I would be. How could they do this to us?? Oh Nick, oh Jess, I am going to miss you so much! I will now go into mourning. Bye.

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we
have decided to part ways," the couple says in a joint statement issued by their
respective publicists, Meredith O'Sullivan and Rob Shooter.
"This is the
mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration
for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult
time."

Friday Hottie (Early but still hot)

Sorry hotties, but will be out for a few days for Turkey Day. This hottie is all over the boards with his new movies, Syriana (which comes out thisweek) and Good Night, and Good Luck. Of you also may remember him for such goodies as Ocean's Eleven & Twelve (yummm to those right there) ER, Sisters, and The Facts of Life. (Oh, and he was also Batman at one time)

George Clooney. He has made the name "George" a pretty hot name. (well, not really, but he is hot). Enjoy. *drool* Congrats Georgie, for winning this week's Friday Hottie!

Gossip & Gab

Okay, here we go again

People has finally come out with the "stolen" Sean Preston Federline photos. And aint' he a cutie?? Photo: People

Oh yeah, and apparently Britney Spears has her sites set of Broadway. What???

The Silent Turkey Speaks

As you know by now, I'm the partner that doesn't post much...almost never...but I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving Holiday. Safe travels to you if your booking it else where...as many folks are. Here's hoping we all come back fat and happy!
Peace out.

Happy Turkey Week!

Thanksgiving is upon us and I'm not sure if I am glad or sad. I go to Hilton Head Island every Thanksgiving. Its fabulous once I get there, but getting there sucks. Plus, this week Stationery Hell has begun. Fax has been full daily and I have little piles of personalized orders all over the office that need to be shipped. Bad, becasue I am leaving on Wednesday and won't be back until Sunday. Bad, also, beacuse I will find it hard to relax and enjoy the holiday when in the back of my mind a million things need to be done.

I decided to bite the bullet and put an ad in Greetings, Etc magazine for their huge Jan issue. Again, good and bad. Good because hopefully it will get us tons of business. Bad because I have to have new designs, new catalog, and new albums done by January. Plus, the Stationery Hell I was talking about. Happy Holidays!!

Thanksgiving is my fave holiday. It's the only time you're allowed to mix food. And the food is definately the best part. Yummm.

Fun sites!

Two more fabulous sites. And do you know what makes them more fabulous than anything? BOTH have featured us! The hotties

Oh Martha, my dear, we barely knew ya

For the crafty peeps:

Martha Stewart's "Apprentice" has been sadly canceled. The ratings just never made it. Everyone is "saying" that it doesn't matter b/c there was only going to be one season anyway. Whatever...

Kimberly Stewart engaged to Laguna Beach Dude

I have no idea how or why, but Kimberly Stewart and Talan from Laguna Beach are engaged. I know...nuts, right? He told his friend, though, that "he really likes her and they're having a good time."

Great, I'm glad they like each other. Source

I am breaking up with Chris Klein

Forget what love I had for Chris Klein. In a recent interview with Elle magazine, he decided to make every female hate him.

Chris, 26, a self-described "alpha heterosexual" who only dates "8 to 10's," also reveals how displeased he is if a woman he's seeing gains a few pounds.
"I'm not tolerant of that at all," declares the actor, who says he has no problem telling his swollen squeeze to shape up.
"When a woman isn't feeling good about herself and you combine that with her period, eventually she'll ask you if you like her body," he pontificates. "You have to say no."
Klein then rejects the interviewer's suggestion that "they're just looking for you to say,
'You look beautiful to me, honey.'" "If they do, it's placating," he scoffs. "I don't placate."

Wha??????? Chris, we are sooooo broken up. And to think I was going to make you a Friday Hottie! As if!!

Oh yeah

And Paris Hilton bought a monkey. Just thought you would want to know.

Couple News!

Two couples to report on, Sienna Miller & Jude Law, and Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban(Nashville connection- woo hoo!)

Sienna and Jude showed up together at the premiere of "Casanova". What?? Oh yes.
And even jucier:

Sunday night's premiere of Miller's new film, "Casanova," the Oscar-nominated Law walked the red carpet and posed for photographs, though not speaking to reporters.
Walking the line separately, Miller later confirmed with AP Television News, "Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? (She laughs.) No, it's just fantastic to have him here and support the film. We're working things out. And he's always and will remain my closest friend in the world, so, you
know, so it's good."
"Yeah, we've had a rough ride, so that is good," she continued. "That's very good."

And, it looks like Nikky and Keith might be engaged. She has been sporting a ring on her left hand ring finger. I'm sure everyone will deny it, but it sure looks suspicious to thie hottie. Take that Tom and Katie.

Lookie!!

Matthew McConaughey is the Sexiest Man Alive

People has named the Sexiest Man Alive for 2005. (hey- that rhymes!!). If you want to go take the hottie quiz, click here

It's my boy Matthew McConaughey. He is quite deserving of this honor, as he is a hottie. So congrats Matty! And here are pictures I posted before of him working out, (quite funny mind you) that led him to have such a hot bod. Photos: JBB

CMA Awards

I feel that I should post something about these, since I do live in Nashville. But I don't really care. (not a huge country fan, unfortunatley) Lots of good performances I suppose. Keith Urban won entertainer of the year and some other male singer trophy. Lee Ann Womack won female vocalist of the year. Poor cutie-pie Brad Paisley was the most-nominated, but went home empty handed with Mud on his Tires. (ha!) Boo for him.

The cool thing about this is that it is usually in Nashville every year, but moved to NYC at Madison Square Gardens. And you know how I am about Nashville connections and bringing props to TN. They tried to make it more main stream, and included acts such as Bon Jovi, Nora Jones, Paul Simon and Billy Joel. Garth Brooks opened up the show with a live performance from Times Square, (like Billy Joel did for the 2003 Tonys - I was there - awesome)

So, Nashville hopefully got some more fans who think ths city is fabulous and not quite so ho-dunk.

News this hottie sure can use

People has not released "Sexiest Man Alive", but rather, "Sexiest Body Parts"! Yummm You can go vote here. Which hottie has the sexiest nose? Best smile? Hottest abs? Most succulently delicious arms? Fabulously hot hair? And, oh, the lips. Okay, getting a bit carried away. With lots of fab pics as well, this is sure to make this a True Totally Tubular Tuesday. Ta Ta! Alliteration rocks! Photos: People

Honoring a True Champion

I promise I am a true blue UT fan, but this is still pretty funny. Hey, if you have a terrible season, you might as well laugh about it, right?

Laguna Beach memories

We said goodbye last night to the kids of Laguna. Last night was the season finale. Without commercial interuptions, mind you. Serious stuff!!

I for one was très disappointed in the finale. What in the world? The graduation episode was far better. And the finale ended at 9:22. 9:22! Just because they took out commericals doesn't mean we have to forfeit fab stories! And why is it that LC gets to go work for Teen Vogue? I want to work for Teen Vogue! And Jessica totally gets on my nerves. What a hussy. So, I wish all the kiddos in Laguna a fond farwell. We will miss you, although we'll see you soon. I mean, it seems Talan is now BFF with Paris Hilton, so they are making their way up the tabloid ladder.

Ooo, also last night were previews for season 3 of Laguna Beach. The underclassman, of course. I hope this doesn't reach the demise of other fab programs who have done this previously. Grease 2, Saved by the Bell "The New Class" - You know where I'm going with this.

Totally Tubular Tuesday

Holla! Is it wrong that I have eaten an entire roll of Jolly Rancher fruit chews along with drinking a gigantic cup of coffee? What? Only 8:30 you say? Fab.

Was up soooo late last night. I get in these "moods". You who own the small biz know of which I am speaking. The "I am going to be uber successful - I have to get on the ball - I must ponder ways in which to become millionaire quickly - why am I not one yet?" Now, this is a fabulsus motivational tool. It however, is not, at midnight (number 1) and not when the holidays are now upon us (number 2). Stupid, no? From reading along in my blog, you'll know when I get like this. It's about once a month and I panic. Great, I know. The problem with the holidays is that I have a fax full of orders and yesterday (or midnight) I decided to become obsessed with marketing and stuff like that. Priorities askew...which leads to a crunch Tuesday and Wed at getting these orders out. I just wish I had slept.

Jules is out of town this week (to Vegas! Hello...)

Keep the coffee coming.

*Ask the Hotties*

Got a question about celebs, pop-culture, fashion or even stationery ? Send it to us already! I will try my Hottie’s Honor Hardest to find the correct answer, be in the truth or not.

From M.:

“Where do you get all your gossip news?? I love it!”

Well, M, I have many sources. I scour the internet constantly looking for the newest gossip and goings-on in Celebrityville. (Um, yes, must get back to my real job) Among my faves are Perez Hilton, The Superficial and Socialite’s Life. Oh, and Teddy C. There are so, so many, but all are a fun break from your day.

It’s Paris’ world, we just live in it

I know it seems every week is the “Week of Paris”, but this week it seems just so.

First, and most importantly, she was involved in quite a traffic violation, if you ask Moi. After leaving hot spot Element, she took off with new boyfriend Stavros Niarchos behind the wheel, along with Kimberly Stewart and Laguna Beach’s Talan in the back. Here comes the incredibly wrong on so many levels part: Stavros takes off very fast with a jacket over his head! Granted, he was trying to get away from the paparazzi, but sorry to be a Heroic Hottie, but people could have seriously been hurt! And not only that, but Stavros, baby, when you bed Paris Hilton, you bed the paparazzi. You can watch the video here, if you must.

In other news in the Week of Paris, Nicole Richie is insisting that Paris has been pranking her. Oh come on Nicole, get off your throne. (Even though it might be true – pranking is fun)

Paris was also served a subpoena this week as being a possible witness to a crime? What crime, you say? Well, everyone thinks it might be because of the Christian Slater roof-jumping incident, but my peeps over at Socialite Life say otherwise. That is shhhhhhh: murder. Say it isn’t so!

And the funniest thing according to this hottie in The Week of Paris is this: Ya know that bling-bling of a ring that was a product of the short-lived engagement of Paris Lastis? Well, hotties, it’s not real! Oh the horror!!! It’s a cubic zirconium that Paris reportedly bought for herself. The one Paris (male version) bought was much smaller. But it’s not her fault, really. How else was she supposed to steal the limelight away from her also-engaged nemesis Nicole Richie? It was necessary, people!

It's official

Accoring to IMDB.com:


Hollywood heart-throb and The Aviator star Leonardo DiCaprio has split from his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen. The pair have enjoyed an on-off romance for three years - but the supermodel's manager has told a magazine in her native Brazil their relationship is over for good. She says, "Yes, they broke up." But she denies rumors Bundchen is already dating surfing superstar Kelly Slater: "Gisele is not the type of a woman who ends a new relationship and starts a new one right away." Bundchen most recently appeared in the comedy Taxi, and DiCaprio is set to be onscreen next in The Departed.


Poor Giselle, how is she going to get through the catwalk, now? And on Leo's birthday too! (Happy 31th by the way)

Friday Hottie

This week's Friday Hottie is the scrumptous Clive Owen. Any girl that has seen Closer knows what I am talkng about. Yummy, yum, yum. Oozing delisiousness, he is. He and Julia Roberts sizzled in that movie, and not to mention the uber fabulous Natalie Portman. Here's hoping that Derailed, (which comes out today, by the way) will be just as fabulous. We'll see. My hopes aren't too high with Jennifer Aniston. But, I'm hoping for the best. So, congratulations Clive! You have won this week's Friday Hottie!

Don't Mess with Jess

Ooo, girl... she ain't happy! Image : MSNBC

Jessica Simpson appeared on Access Hollywood in an interview with Billy Bush to talk about her new fashion shoe line. (which I must look into honestly, beacuse 1. I love my stylish BFF Jessica and 2. I love shoes)

Anywho, her publicist was adamant that she was not gonna answer any questions about anything else ... especially her hubby Nick Lachey (whose birthday was yesterday - Happy Bday Nick!)

This is interesting, as usually she is very animated and very vocal about how in love they are and how their marriage is in no trouble whatsoever. Now, it could be that she is just sick of talking about it, or could it be the other? (Sorry, kiddos, not with Joe Simpson around) And I kinda felt bad for her. It got pretty hot and heavy in the interview.

If you missed the incident on Access Hollywood you can read a pretty good synopsis of the whole thing HERE, or you can read about it on Billy Bush's blog HERE.

Gossip & Gab

• Speaking of LOST, Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan are hot and heavy.
• Poor Paris Hilton, she was bullied as a child for being so beautiful. Life is tough when you're a princess.
• Chris Klein, cutie pie, is not at all bitter about Katie Holmes breaking off their enagagement, dating a mega star, getting re-engaged in liek a week, getting pregnant, and changing religions. Poor Chris Klein. He needs a good one-night stand.
• Angelia Jolie and her brother Oscar tops US Weekly's Shocking and Grossest Kiss poll. Ew. Who would create such a poll?
• Hilary Duff will be featured in a one-hour television special this holiday season called Dear Santa. Anyone can say what they like. I have loved her ever since Lizzie McGuire. And I'm in my late twenties. She's fabulous. She just needs to stop doing movies. I mean her song is the intro to Laguna Beach! Need I say more?
• You must see this. Ashlee Simpson drunk at McDonalds. Hell-arious. Oh Ash... You're not very pretty when you're hammered.

Last Night

So, now I have a system in the watching of my shows LOST and Veronica Mars. I watch LOST, and Tivo Veronica. Then I watch veronica afterwards, as I am not a big Invasion fan.

All I have to say is WOW on both shows. LOST kinda dragged, as it has tended to do this season, but WOW. For those that are not watching these two shows, you are stupid. But in a nice way...

Happy belated birthday Tara Reid!

I missed her birthday. Sorry Tara. She turned 30 on Nov. 8th. It been one helluva year for you, huh? Getting a fab job on Taradise on E!, getting that fab job canceled. We know, you really wanted it to be a "cultural experience" and show everyone how people in other countries socialize, live and drink. The show was a sucess (to me) because it really made me laugh. You are just drunk all the time, and always look stylish while doing so. (well, sometimes) I like you Tara. I don't care what anyone else thinks. Happy Birthday Hottie!!

Good Tara

Wednesday TIVO

Make sure everyone watches LOST and Veronica Mars tonight!  

In LOST, the big “death” is going to take place.  Set your TIVOs!! But, also don’t forget about Veronica Mars.  The shitter is this show occurs at the EXACT same time as LOST.  I mean, really! What is a hottie to do?  So, I am going to TIVO Veronica and watch LOST.  Action packed Wednesday night, I tell ya.  I have slacked on celebrity gossip.  And there is soooo much.  Will gab tomorrow. Hottie’s Honor.

Do you MySpace?

I don’t get this. Yes, I get having a blog (lluuuuuvvvvvv my bloggy). But what is MySpace? Just a website with your pictures that you can have a blog on if you want? Thats what a blog is. And it’s much less messy.

However, this hottie MUST now have a MySpace page. Because it looks like everyone cool is doing it. You know what an obsessed Laguna Beach fan I am. Well, it seems that Jessica and Alex M both have MySpace pages. Wha?? Oh yes. Read the news on my girl, Jolie in NYC’s page. (She has one too) And my sister, too, if you care. Even though I am still not sure what it is, you can add friends and things like that. Now, my problem is that I will want to have the most friends and win the award for “Most Popular MySpace-er”, if they had that award. Which they will….surely.

Tom makes his first good decision in months

See? This is why you don’t do business with family. Tom Cruise has replaced his sister, Lee Anne DeVette, with a Hollywood insider as chief handler of his publicity.

“The 43-year-old actor hired veteran publicist Paul Bloch, who's also a co-chairman for publicity firm Rogers & Cowan, according to the Daily Variety trade paper. Bloch also will oversee publicity for the actor's production company Cruise-Wagner Productions”

"Lee Anne has done a wonderful job on behalf of myself and Cruise-Wagner Productions over the last few years," Cruise said in a statement. "But she has always expressed a desire to oversee and expand the day-to-day activities of my charitable endeavors."

This of course comes after a terrible/fabulous year publicly for Tommy. Some say terrible, I say fabulous. They always say, there is no such thing as bad press. And regardless of the couch jumping, Eiffel proposing, Katie impregnating, I-Love-Scientology year he’s had, everyone (including this hottie) has gossiped about him immensely.

And what celebrity doesn’t want that? (If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying)

Holiday Season is here, whether we like it or not...

Whew! What a weekend. This hottie is tired. The show in Springfield went fabulously, but not the way we really wanted it to. I took tons of boxed sets and bagged sets to sell. They did sell ok, but everyone seemed to want things personalized. (of course) So, we now have many orders to do, and I wasn't planning on that. So I get back on Sunday, and the fax machine is out of paper. It seems some of my home-based stores also had a few stationery parties this weekend. It's going to be one those weeks, I can already tell. Anyway, here are pictures of the booth from the show. Ta Ta!

Friday Hotties

This week's Friday Hotties are none other than Patrick Dempsey & Justin Chambers on the acclaimed (and Hottie Approved) show Grey's Anatomy.

It took this hottie a while to catch on to this show. I have some issues with Ellen Pompeo. She is the star of Grey's Anatomy, (actually Grey). I did not like her in Old School. She got on my nerves tremendously, which usually results in me casting her off and never watching anything else she is in. I know, it sounds harsh. But if you watch the scene when she spills coffee all over Luke Wilson's character and she says, "I think you need some of this." He askes what it is. She replies, "Coffee". The way she says coffee has ruined me forever. It drove me nuts. And so I decided she just got on my nerves. I know, I'm crazy. Forgive me.

So, I have given Grey's Anatomy a chance because it's: 1. A FAB SHOW and 2. Has hotties like Patrick Dempsey (been a fan since Can't By Me Love) and Justin Chambers

So watch it. It comes on Sundays after that stupid show (Desperate Housewives) that is still doing incredible in the ratings. (If you stop watching it, I'll stop watching it)

Babs names them

That is, Barbara Walter's "10 most fascinating people list". No one knows for sure all of them, because the list was accidentally leaked on the internet. And you know that means that this hottie is all over the scoop. Among those on this years list are Tom Cruise (of course, he has squeezed in everywhere this year), Teri Hatcher (soooo on my nerves by now) Thomas Mesereau, (the lawyer who defended Michael Jackson), Kayne West (he’s the musical one), Lance Armstrong (he’s the athlete) and Condoleezza Rice. Babs is famous for this list, now in its 12th year. It will air Tuesday, Nov. 29.

As you know, she does not reveal the winner of most fascinating person until air date. I am thinking that honor needs to go to one completely fabulous stationery company owner. Whaddaya think?

Funny aside story about Condoleezza Rice. The hubby went down to Alabama for the UT – AL game. He was talking about how nice-looking a woman she was. What?? Are you kidding me? I mean, maybe, but… No, she’s not. I’m sorry. Poor thing. He obviously was drunk.

I'm giddy with delight

Kevin Federline’s new song lyrics are out. I know everyone will rush to stores to pick up this masterpiece. If you can’t wait for it, you can download it Here. Thanks to the Board Room. for the lyrics, and to Socialite Life for the story.

I know you are sitting at the edge of you seat, so here goes:

"Ya'll Ain't Ready" by K-Fed.

I should be saying
Keep my damn name out of your mouth
But you people keep increasin' my change amount

So, go ahead and say what you wanna
