Not Again

If you need any more proof that Tom Cruise is messing with Katie Holmes' head, look no further than this picture:

Did she just roll out of bed that morning, exhausted from countless hours of listening to Tom rant about the evils of Psychiatry, and think that pegging her jeans, (a la 90210 circa 1990) was a good idea? Well, this is what sleep deprivation can amount to. Get your 8 hours.

Brooke Hogan Doesn't Look Terrible

Which is an achievement in itself really. The yellow tiered dress she's wearing is actually quite cute. Sure, she could have eased up on the self-tanner a bit. Maybe removed some of the My Little Pony hair extensions...but this is Brooke Hogan we're talking about. It's all relative.

Here's what StyleSpleak users had to say about Ms. Hogan's dress:

younique says: Given the fact that Brooke normally looks like a post-op tranny overdue for estrogen shots, I think she looks pretty good here. I like the dress, and actually I've been looking for something similar to it to add to my summer wardrobe. Any suggestions on where to get it?

mayjah says: Brooke Hogan is an idiot. Anyone doubting this just needs to hear her views on women being president (they shouldn't, because they get 'PMS and stuff') and her general attitude of self-entitlement. I agree, the dress is cute. I just wish I could wipe her out of the picture.

Men in Tights

Did you know there's a whole "movement" (if you want to call it that) trying to make it acceptable for men to rock pantyhose? Yeah, there's a website called (cue snickering) e-MANcipate that aims to "accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item." Uh oh.

Ap060628042222

Here's what StyleSpleak users had to say about this rather unorthodox fashion statement:

ambiturner says: Uhh, pantyhose for men? What's next, makeup for men? Oh yeah, they already have that. Ladies and gentlemen, the era of the real man has ended. The man of today is a facial-scrub-using, manpurse-carrying, pantyhose-wearing Metrosexual.

wOnky says: There's actually a UK-based ecommerce site called tights-for-men.com that sells a bunch of old lady-looking pantyhose for the man who has no sense of self-worth or dignity. Seriously, haven't people ever heard of long underwear? That's what people should wear when it's cold!

Really Scary

Comicon was this weekend in San Diego, and it really brought out some of the crazies. Exhibit A: Tori Amos.

Ap080726020524

Here's what StyleSpleak's users had to say:

fabuufemme says: Good Christ, Tori took the whole comic book theme a little too far. She looks like she's either about to give birth to a litter of bats or start work on her latest album: "Tori Amos: Pieces of Crazy from the Derranged Mind of a Twisted Genius." Or something.

lalaland: Oh, how delightful that Tori is modeling the latest in recycled trash-bag Derelicte couture. I think she's really on to something here: namely, that if the economy continues to suck as much as it has, we'lll all be wearing trash bags next fall. Embrace the inevitable.

Lauren Conrad Collection: a Fake?

It turns out Lauren may not be "involved in every step of the design process" for her clothing line after all. In fact, she may be involved in exactly NO steps of the process. Hm...

Ap080311026761

Here's what CelebSpleak users found out:

reportr: TMZ is reporting that Lauren's so-called "design" career may be as fake as her "reality" show The Hills. Inside sources say she's not involved in any of the design process except for promotion. Lauren refutes the claims. I'm not sure I believe her.

ambiturner says: Do you think Lauren Conrad really does all the designing for the Lauren Conrad collection?

Avril Has Fangs

Apparently, Avril only wants to take her rocker-chick-meets-vampire-meets-bubble-gum-popstar image so far, because insiders say she's always been unhappy with her pointy "vampire" teeth, so she's going to a cosmetic dentist to have them shaved down. I suppose, in the grand scheme of celebrity body modification, this really isn't that bad. But let's take a look at what she's working with:

ELLEgirl reads...The Midnight Twins

Jacquelyn Mitchard takes another stab at teen fiction with The Midnight Twins, the first of a projected trilogy. While Deep End of the Ocean, her previous novel, successfully contained adult themes while still holding teenage interest, The Midnight Twins wobbled a bit between the two. Since the protagonists of The Midnight Twins are only 13, it would seem as though the book would mostly appeal to younger readers. However, mature themes and violent scenes transform The Midnight Twins into a much darker novel than initially expected.
