“The City”‘s Erin Moving To Teen Vogue

Our favorite character on MTV’s series “The City” was never super saccharine Whitney Port or hyper-villainous Olivia Palermo–it was Elle PR head Erin Kaplan. Kaplan’s side-eye glare and over-boiled frustration said what we all felt about Palermo’s conniving ways. Well, now she’s got a new gig — as head PR honcho at Teen Vogue. The switch over to Vogue‘s younger sis publication comes on the heels of talk that Teen Vogue may be debuting a reality series of its own. [Fashionista] Keep reading »

“Genuine Ken” Looks Scary Bad


I love me some bad reality television, but, as we suspected when it was announced, the new Hulu series “Genuine Ken: The Search for the Great American Boyfriend” is just too bad. Let’s recap the trailer here, shall we? Whitney Port hosts as eight Ken-testants (personally I’m routing for Compassionate Ken) compete in weekly challenges to win the title of Great American boyfriend. The winner, like the doll, will be the man who proves he possesses all the qualities that make him the “ultimate boyfriend for every occasion.” While this concept is obviously airtight, the trailer raises a few important questions. Do these men have actual wieners or just plastic crotches? Is there a real-life Barbie waiting at the end … who does Genuine Ken become boyfriend to? And most importantly, who decided to hire Whitney Port? How did they manage to pick a host less interesting than an actual Barbie doll? [Genuine Ken] Keep reading »

Ken Gets A Reality Show. Whitney Port Hosts?

“The City” is dunzo, but Whitney Port is moving onto bigger and better things. You know, like hosting an online reality series about … wait for it … Barbie‘s hunkahunka burnin’ love, Ken. The eight-episode series on Hulu.com will be called “Genuine Ken: The Search for the Great American Boyfriend” and features eight guys competing in challenges to see who’s the best “boyfriend for every occasion.” They must show off their Ken-like qualities by dazzling us with their fashion sense, romancing a lady, and—because this is Ken we are talking about—surfing. Yes, surfing. Presumably, Whitney is the lucky lady who gets to judge each of these Romeos on their boyfriend skillz; never mind that the real Ken broke up with Barbie around Valentine’s Day 2004. Minor detail, right? In my opinion, Heidi Montag would have been a much better human Barbie doll to find the perfect Ken. [Variety] Keep reading »

Style By Jury: What Do You Think Of Whitney Port’s Look?

What Do You Think Of Whitney Port's Look?

Theory: Whitney Port Is Both Of Rachel Zoe’s Assistants In Disguise

Am I the only one who can’t tell the assistants on “The Rachel Zoe Project” apart? I thought these gals were the same person until I heard Rachel whining both the names “Jordan” and “Ashley.” True, Ashley Avignone‘s hair is a little darker than Jordan’s. But the women have eerily similar facial features and must shop out of the same Zoe-approved closet. In fact, I swear I’ve seen them somewhere before … as Whitney Port of “The City.” They’ve all got the same long blonde hair, the same pillowy lips, and the same “I spend a lot of time grooming my eyebrows” demeanor. Must be fashion-bot uniform. Keep reading »

Whitney Port Gets Portly

Fat Whitney Port … there’s an app for that. Whitney experimented with her new fave iPhone app, FatBooth, and “couldn’t stop laughing,” according to her official website. Oh, that Whitney. She’s a gas. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

Rumor Alert: Has MTV Canceled “The City”?

Oh noes, Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo might have lost their fake jobs! Fashionista.com is reporting that MTV is canceling “The City” after this season. Rumor has it, MTV is booting Palermo off the network because she was cutting into Snooki’s pickle budget. Just kidding! We don’t know why “The City” would be canceled or if the rumor is even true. Frankly, we’re surprised the “Hills” spin-off lasted this long: Whitney Port has always been très boring, non? The only character we’ll miss is Kelly Cutrone, the People’s Revolution fashion PR girl. Thankfully, Kelly’s got her own show, “Kell On Earth,” on Bravo — but considering she’s one of Whitney Eve‘s biggest advocates, this won’t be the last we’ve seen of Whitney yet. Palermo, however, can crawl back from whence she came. [Fashionista] Keep reading »

“The City”‘s Roxy Olin Takes You On A Tour Through Her Closet

On “The City,” Roxy Olin, er, plays Whitney Port’s BFF. At first, I wasn’t sure about Roxy. So sassy. So defiant. So trouble-starter-ish. Yet, she has known grown on me, and Kelly Cutrone, too, obviously, so now I am on Team Roxy. I mean, compared to Olivia Palermo, this girl is a saint. Bluefly paid a visit to Roxy at home, where she takes us through her decidedly stylish wardrobe. Her fashion influence: Mick Jagger. Her current theme: the ’80s. Most unique piece: a disco ball shrug. Just don’t let her catch you in Uggs and a crop top. Her collection certainly is eclectic. Do you love it or hate it? The Cut] Keep reading »

Whitney Port’s Whitney Eve Fails To Impress Fashion Insiders

Fashion insiders Reality TV fans have been buzzing about Whitney Port‘s Whitney Eve fashion collection since it debuted. And while filming her reality show, “The City,” Whitney had the opportunity most young fashion designers only dream about — she showcased her collection for Joe Zee and Anne Slowey, two big-wigs over at Elle. Sadly, Whitney Eve failed to impress. Anne tried to make Whitney feel better about her efforts, which Joe dubbed “items” not a collection, by telling her that Alexander Wang started small, with one sweater. Then, Joe countered with: “It was one hell of a sweater, though.” Boo-yah! Keep reading »
