Star Couplings: Is Paris Hilton Schtupping Stavros Again?
Quickies!: Prince Alienates Fans With His Gay Marriage Stance
Barack Obama And His BlackBerry
Over the course of the presidential campaign, Barack Obama was photographed many, many times with his hands glued to his BlackBerry, or with it attached to his hip in a holster. Soon, Obama’s love affair with his PDA may end. When he moves into the White House this January, his correspondence will be collected under the Presidential Records Act, and there is always the risk of messages being intercepted. No president has been able to have email, and it doesn’t look like Obama will be able to break that barrier. After the jump, read made-up email and text messages Obama would send if he were able to use his BlackBerry while in office. Keep reading »
Tyra Surprises Isis With Sex Reassignment Surgery
We’ll be the first to admit that we’re not big fans of Tyra Banks. We watch “America’s Next Top Model” like any other fashion, reality TV-loving girl, but most of the time we’re really annoyed by Tyra’s crazy antics. Today, however, we’re putting a shiny gold star next to Tyra’s name because she arranged for one of our favorite “ANTM” contestants, Isis, to have sex reassignment surgery. I blasted Tyra for using Isis as the “first transgender contestant” on “ANTM,” and then eliminating her for not being comfortable with her body. But at least Tyra is making amends. Of course, the big surprise occurs on “The Tyra Show” airing tomorrow because Tyra is a shrewd businesswoman. [Bossip] Keep reading »
Five Reasons To Skip Seeing “Quantum Of Solace” In Theaters
We were big ol’ fans of “Casino Royale,” the last Bond flick, and the first starring the delectable Daniel Craig, another Frisky favorite. So when “Quantum of Solace” came out this weekend, we were extremely excited to see if their action-packed “boys” film would rock our chick flick hearts the way “Casino Royale” did. Sadly, it FAILED. After the jump, five reasons why you should save it for your Netflix queue. Keep reading »
What’s Up With Beyonce’s Bionic Hand?
Beyonce has been promoting her multiple-personality album I Am…Sasha Fierce, which will be released tomorrow, and in at least three recent performances — the World Music Awards, the MTV Europe Music Awards, and “Saturday Night Live” — she has worn a piece of jewelry that resembles the hand of a robot. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the glove is basically a full-hand ring. At first, we thought Beyonce was wearing her special glove whenever she performed as Sasha Fierce, her sassier alter-ego, but this theory doesn’t pan out because she wore the hand when she performed “If I Were A Boy,” which is on the Beyonce part of the album. The accessory, which we’re calling a “gling” (glove ring), was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, who also created Beyonce’s $5-million, 18-carat diamond wedding ring. Seeing as Schwartz’s designs cost a pretty penny, maybe Beyonce is wearing the gling non-stop because she wants to get her money’s worth. Either that or she’s just one of the first to sport finger-surrounding rings — Vogue Italia featured several in a recent story, and Selma Blair wore one shaped like a snake this weekend.

Quick Pics: Anti-Prop 8 Rallies Around The U.S.
Thanks for sending us your pics from the anti-Proposition 8 protests that took place around the country this past Saturday! We wish we could post all of them, but instead we picked out our favorites (see above and after the jump). I still think the signs in NYC were the most clever, though big props to Orlando for the sign above! Keep reading »
Peace Signs: Still Going Strong At 50
Back in 1958, textile designer and commercial artist Gerald Holton designed a symbol for peace activists to put on their protest posters. The image he created was a combination of the letters N, for nuclear, and D, for disarmament, and it still represents peace 50 years later. The popularity and connotation of the peace sign has changed over time. It was used by Vietnam war protesters in the ’60s, and 30 years after that, my friends and I wore peace sign necklaces just because they looked cool. In celebration of the symbol’s anniversary, designers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Proenza Schouler, and Alexander Wang have designed outfits inspired by the peace sign. (If you live in NYC, check them out in the windows at Barneys.) Below, 11 peace products that are more chic than hippie… Keep reading »
Crave: Satellite Rings
We love the modern look of these Satellite rings by Anne Kiel, which are made in gorgeous, bright colors with sterling silver and resin. They’d look awesome on your left ring finger, the one everyone is always glancing at when you’re at Home Depot looking at tools and they’re wondering why you’re there alone, and you have to explain, “No, no, this isn’t a wedding ring! It’s a satellite ring. It’s awesome and means I can come to Home Depot alone and find things that, sure, I can’t lift into my car but so what? I’ve got this great non-symbolic ring and I’m wearing it with pride!” Or, you could just wear it on another finger. [$91, Supermarket HQ] Keep reading »
