“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

Fresh off the heels of the most romantic moment in couples history, I am left wondering who we have in the United States that can remotely be called our own royal couple. Enter Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson. Don’t look now but the slow burn of promoting the next and final-ish chapters of the Twilight Saga has begun, kicking off with an exclusive cover story in Entertainment Weekly. The timing seems intentional, can’t you hear them in the EW cover meeting now, “Let’s put Bella and Edward on the cover, America is drunk with romance thanks to the Royal Wedding“.… Read More »

The secret is out: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen did the wedding dress for Kate Middleton…aka Princess Catherine aka Duchess of Cambridge. But the dress is remarkably simple considering it was from the designer who is single-handedly saving the McQueen legacy. She does look stunning. While Facbooking with Alexander Jenkins (Miss J) this morning, he noted (no, not noted as in noted fashion photographer) but noted that the dress is very Princess Grace and added, “Well done Sarah and the House of McQueen. Absolutely simple and gorgeous.” NOTE TO BRIDEZILLAS: See how demure and understated Kate is? Well, take note.… Read More »

Couldn’t let this one go by. Yesterday, Page Six compared the upcoming nuptials of Prince William to Kate Middleton with the pending marriage of Victoria’s Secret stunner Lily Aldridge to Kings of Leon front-man, Caleb Followill. Now, look, I am by no means an obsessive Royal Watcher, or an anarchist, nor am I hip enough to know the name of the front man for any group these days, but to put the two events in the same category, well, the word stretch seems like a stretch.… Read More »

This is it kids… the wedding of the century. Century 21 maybe. There has been more hype about the wedding of Kim Kardashian to basketball hottie Kris Jeffries than, well, not quite the recent royal one. If Mamma Bear, Kris Jenner had her druthers, her daughter’s wedding would kick Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s in the arse. And for this wedding, it is all about the arse after all. When Kim Kardashian had to uninvite 50 guests due to lack of space, I wondered. “How and who and what?!?” In a time when our economy is dithering, and Republicans are… Read More »

Yes kids, I am a lady who lunches and was in full regalia yesterday at the Hearst Tower for the 7th Annual Anti-Counterfeiting Luncheon. The illegal knock-off industry is growing, becoming increasingly more sophisticated and difficult to police. The rise of on-line sales is creating a new set of challenges beyond the Canal Street hustle. The task to harness the illegal trafficking of these fake designer goods is daunting, to say the least. The bottom line is we all must do our part to curtail, seize, not support, not purchase and monitor our ports. The list of things we all… Read More »

So help me if they cast Tom Hanks as General Petraeus, I will scream. Paula Broadwell could be cast by Diane Lane, since she wishes she were her, and Jill Kelley can be played by Kim Kardashian. Well if the illicit sex fits…… Read More »

Yes, there are bad outfits this week, but equally important are grooming mishaps such as the case of William “John Boehner” Shatner. Otherwise what do Elizabeth Olsen and a transgender actor-person have in common?.… Read More »

If you thought Star Jones’ circus of a wedding to Al Whatsisname was annoying, hold on to your uber-sponsored hats. The cross-promotional wedding of the century is about to unfold, so stock up on your Dramamine, ’cause a fierce case of nausea is about to ensue. Unlike the wedding of the century last month between Prince William and Kate Middleton, the pending nuptials between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries will surely reek of C and D list celebrities, lots of flat-ironed hair and enough loose curl extensions to last a lifetime. Needless to say, there will be a run on… Read More »
