Diamonds can be made out of many materials, even your dead dog’s ashes, and now booze-hounds may be able to get bling made from their alcohol of choice: tequila. Now, technically the diamonds a team of researchers in Mexico have made from 80-proof tequila blanco are diamond films, used in machinery that operates at high temperatures or in harsh conditions, but maybe someday, someone will put a ring on my finger made from Patron.

And, gulp, we actually think her outfit is cute. Bright patterned top and sleek leather jacket? Thumbs up. We hate ourselves. [Patricia Field store, New York City, 6/18/08] Keep reading »

Our girl Katy Perry made a guest appearance on soap opera The Young and the Restless last week. On the show, she was photographed for the cover of the new magazine Restless Style, and the cover will be unveiled on the show on June 27. But the magazine sort of exists even though it’s fictional! Like, they really did a photo shoot and there’s an article about her! Anyway, I have been trying to figure out how to wear a really long strand of pearls like what she’s got on (sadly, mine aren’t Chanel), so if you have any style suggestions, please let me know — keep in mind that I’m not a rock star, and the vintage dress with “Like A Virgin” gloves and fishnets probably wouldn’t work on me.

I hated Barbie as a fat kid, for obvious reasons. She was super skinny, had cooler clothes than me, hung out with yuppies, and her make-up looked like my evil babysitter’s. Back in the day, Barbie seemed like the suburban spawn of Satan in her perfect little princess castle. But now that I’m an adult, I finally want one! Sure, she’s still thin, but at least this Barbie is a little twisted. Mattel has announced plans to release a doll based on the Hitchcock horror flick The Birds. Set to hit shelves in October, this Barbie is dressed in a pea-green, ’60s suit with attacking seagulls attached, carrying a matching handbag (of course). How cool, dark, and un-Barbie-like! Take that Bratz, Barbie’s back….and ready to fight for her life. [Nerd Approved]

A woman in Los Angeles is suing Victoria’s Secret over a defective thong. Um, one could argue, they’re all defective, after all, we’re talking about paying for a permanent wedgie here. But seriously, 52-year old Macrida Patterson is taking the lingerie line to court because she claims a “design problem” caused a metallic decoration on her “V-string” to come loose. When she went to put the panties on, the ornament hit her in the eye causing damage to her cornea. Eye-yi-yi, there is just an ever growing number of reasons why we love coverage!

Competition is stiff in the porn industry (Get it? Stiff? Ha.), and specializing is really the way to go. Since most porn features strapping, young men and women, the niche that’s more open — and actually doing quite well in Japan — is that involving old people. The stars are balding or gray, their skin sagging, but stars like Shigeo Tokuda, 74, have no problem undressing for the camera. Shigeo has appeared in about 350(!) adult films over the past 14 years, and his wife and daughter have no idea. Elder-porn seems to appeal to older people who can’t relate to the young ‘uns, and younger people like it because there is this something that only an older generation has and the young people do not possess,” said director Gaichi Kono. Sadly though, there is age discrimination in this line of work. While a popular young actress might earn $100,000 per film, a “mature” one might only be paid $2,000. That’s why it’s so important to love your job. [Time] Keep reading »
