You’ve got to appreciate this true devotion to the neighborhood: Denby buys everything that she can in her hometown of Bondi Beach to support local friends and businesses. Her frock from Funky Femme looks in bloom among a sea of bikinis and cutoffs. Don’t you wish she was your neighbor?

Paris-based artist Olivier Kosta-Théfaine, aka Stak and Olivier Stak, uses only a cigarette lighter to create his ceiling masterpieces. A self-proclaimed suburbanite, he was intrigued by cities while growing up. His work is clearly influenced by street culture and graffiti art yet exhibits the nearly impossible symmetry of more classical art. Some his works are beautiful floral motifs, while others appear to be haphazard scrolls and dots. His art has decorated abandoned buildings as well as gallery ceilings. More photos after the jump.

This weekend, The New York Times Magazine profiled psychologist Lori Brotto, who is helping re-define the definition of a woman’s low libido for the psychiatrist’s bible, the DSM. The American Psychiatric Association will re-publish the manual in 2012 or 1013 and Brotto is helping to shape how doctor’s diagnose and treat a low urge towards doin’ it. What might surprise you? Throughout her studies, Brotto has found many women who report a low libido are perfectly capable of feeling pleasure. The problem seems to lie instead with their mind’s relationship to sex.

Rihanna, we love you, but this is way too many trends in one outfit. You’ve covered the lacy look, lingerie as outerwear, harem pants, and of course, your signature spike embellishments. Too much fashion! Let’s exercise some sartorial restraint next time.
And we are. Obsessed, I mean. The bitch behind fashion PR company People’s Revolution—and Whitney’s fake-boss on “The City”—was in the news today. Twice! First Kelly appeared on a Fox News morning show and dropped the F-bomb when discussing that rich, lazy snatch, Olivia Palermo. You can watch the vid here, but this is the exact quote.
“I like Olivia as a person, I really do. I’ve known her for a really long time and I know her family. I think that her work ethic is way too elevated and way too lofty ... I mean that when you’re in your ‘20s and you are in a prestigious place like Elle magazine, and someone like Erin is trying to help you, you better leave your f**king attitude at the door, right?”
I wonder how many gray hairs Rupert Murdoch sprouted over that one?
This is just one example of how awesomely unscripted Kelly is, which is why we’re super psyched about her upcoming reality show, “Kell On Earth.” That’s where the second bit of news comes in—Bravo has finally announced that the show will make it’s debut on Feb. 1, 2010. Mark your calendars! Check out an interview with Kelly, above, discussing the show. [BravoTV]
We have reached a strange new frontier in our everyone-who-is-famous-gets-a-clothing-line world. Jenny Sanford, who told her husband Mark to hit the road after having an affair with an Argentinian whose tan lines he just couldn’t get enough of, has trademarked her name and started a website where she will sell clothing. Since I adore her, I want to think this is okay. But in truth, she just ain’t that snappy a dresser.

“Gossip Girl” star Taylor Momsen and supermodel Miranda Kerr both showed up at MTV Studios in Times Square today for “It’s On With Alexa Chung” guest appearances. The two ladies dressed very, very differently for the event. Momsen looked polished and professional, while Kerr looked like Britney Spears on a bender. (FYI: today is Opposites Day!)
Newlyweds Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have finally hammered out their prenuptial agreement. Wait, doesn’t that make it post-nuptial? Anyway. It’s pretty modest compared to many Hollywood couples—Khloe asked for $500,000 for each year they’re married, $25K a month in support, the house, a new car at the end of every lease cycle, $5K a month for shopping, $1K a month for beauty care, and season courtside Lakers tickets for her whole family. Wait, what? Who wants to watch her ex-husband play every game after un-tying the knot? [NY Daily News]
It seems like celebrities are masters of manipulating prenuptial agreements to cater to their lifestyle. Here are a few of the weirdest stipulations.
