Terry Richardson Shoots Leighton Meester For Bazaar & It’s A Snooze

Lily QAugust 5, 2009 //

Oh. Look. It’s Leighton Meester on the cover of fashion bible Bazaar. Yawn. We’d say more about it, but the intense boredom this shot is inducing is threatening to put us to sleep. Oddly enough, it was shot by Terry Richardson, master of things both fashion-y and filthy. His shots usually bring to mind hypothetical future orgies. Like everyone in the picture is thinking, “Once this photo shoot is over, let’s all go back to my place and just see what happens.” Looking at Leighton, it’s difficult to believe that she’s thinking anything at all, the photograph is so empty. Though perhaps we’re being unfair; maybe she’s just entranced by the shiny, shiny dress. Keep reading »

The hard work has paid off and she will be featured on the cover of Harper Bazaar’s September issue. All this business about secret locations and designer dresses leads us to believe that its going to be quite the shoot. Check out her Today show interview after the jump. [NY Mag] Keep reading »

10 Reasons Why Being Brunette Is Awesome

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 16, 2009 //

The editors of Harper’s Bazaar had an interesting idea for their August issue—get Lauren Conrad to sport a brunette wig for 24 hours. Not sure what the point of this was exactly—did they intend it as a prank or some lame-o social experiment? In the end, the California girl totally wasn’t feeling her brown hair, even though I think it looked kind of fantastic. “Day to day, I can only do blonde. Everything else makes me look sort of plain-Jane,” she told People.

Wait, being brunette makes you a plain Jane? God, I am so over this whole blondes-have-more-fun thing. Here are ten reasons why I’m a happy card-carrying member of the brunette club… Keep reading »

Why Can’t Gisele Bundchen Sell A Magazine Cover?

Lily QJune 17, 2009 //

Let me just preface this whole thing by saying that I would give my non-existent left nut to look like Gisele Bundchen. She’s about a thousand feet tall, skinny and has a bangin’ bod and I want in, so call me girl. That said, Gisele’s not the one I’d switch with if I was looking to be a high fashion model. While catwalkers like Natalia Vodianova can transition seamlessly from one look to the next, Gisele is always more or less her boring old gorgeous self.

If you ask us, that’s why her Vanity Fair cover brought in the mag’s lowest newsstand sales in two years and her Bazaar cover a few months back bombed as well. Gisele covers aren’t not selling because she’s “losing her looks,” as Vanity Fair spokeswoman Beth Kseniak suggested the other day — the girl remains smoking hot. It’s just not the sort of hot that allows for much imagination. Plus, who actually wants to read what Gisele has to say? She’s a model, not an entertainer. Keep reading »

Quickies!: Halle Berry Is A Poser?

  • Halle Berry tries to convince regular women that she really is just a snacking-in-front-of-the-TV-girl-next-door in Harper’s Bazaar. By the way, I’m not feeling the blonde hair on Halle. What do y’all think? [Shine]
  • Stephen Colbert tricked another congressman into admitting he enjoys prostitutes and cocaine. You’d think they’d learn from Robert Wexler’s run-in with Colbert. [Asylum]
  • Tax time can get you in trouble with more folks than the IRS. One man almost ruined his marriage when his wife realized he was putting away a secret nest egg just in case they were divorced. [Your Tango]

    An Open Letter To Jessica Simpson

    Wendy AtterberryJanuary 29, 2009 //

    Dear Jessica,

    The mistake you made wasn’t so much in gaining weight, it was in making such a big to-do of yourself when you were skinny. And those high-waisted jeans weren’t doing you any favors either. But the thing is, plenty of women in Hollywood are your size or bigger and no one’s giving them a hard time about it. Just look at Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, or Christina Hendricks — they’ve all got curves like you and they’re hot! No one’s drawing them as 500 lb. caricatures, so what gives?

    Tyra Does Michelle Obama, Plus Her 6 Craziest Stunts

    Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 6, 2008 //

    Last night I was on “Showbiz Tonight” discussing Tyra Banks’ Bazaar cover, and the photo shoot within the magazine in which she dresses up as Michelle Obama. The shoot is not a fashion spread — i.e. there’s no “10 Looks Michelle Obama Will Need As A First Lady, As Worn By Model Tyra Banks” — and the interview accompanying the images isn’t really serious in nature, though Tyra does say that her Secret Service code-name would be “Kiss My Fat Ass”. Rather, it seems like Bazaar is trying to cash in on the Obama craze in any way they can, since they apparently couldn’t get the real woman to do a shoot with them. (By the way, I predict Michelle will be in Vogue, instead!) As for Tyra? Well, this is hardly the first cuh-razy stunt the talk show host has pulled. After all, Ty-Ty seems to feel like the world is The Tyra Show, and we’re all just lucky to get out alive. After the jump, six other classically nutty and self-absorbed “All About Tyra” moments.

    Frisky Quote Of The Day: Ashton Kutcher on Bruce Willis

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 5, 2008 //

    “I just had to get over my ego, which was screaming, ‘This guy used to sleep with your woman,’ And I listened instead to the little voice inside that was whispering, ‘This guy loves and cares about your woman.’ Once I did that, it was a cakewalk.” — Ashton Kutcher about how he eventually warmed up to wife Demi Moore’s ex, Bruce Willis, in the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar Keep reading »
