Rihanna: Chris’ Mom Approves!
Rihanna’s got mom’s seal of approval.
The hitmaking beauty made a trip to GBK Productions’ Fire & Ice gifting lounge for the BET Awards over the weekend with her boyfriend, fellow music hotshot Chris Brown and his mom, Joyce Hawkins.
Hawkins, according to a source, was overheard cooing, “Rihanna is the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated.”
And for once, the superprivate lovebirds weren’t so private during their hour-or-so-long visit to the lounge. “They came through holding hands and kissing each other on the neck,” says the source.
Both Rihanna and Brown also took home their own $5,000 gold watches from Croton, Grace hats, handblown glass art from Robert Kaindl and iPod cases from Guilty Couture. Rihanna also grabbed three pairs of Australia Love Collective boots, including the Vixen, the Nomad and the Party Nomad and helped Brown pick out a couple of pairs of New Balance running shoes.
Sounds like a good day was had by all.
Lauren Conrad Talks Fashion
Lauren Conrad Talks Fashion
With her penchant for fashion, it comes as little surprise that Lauren Conrad was spotted out shopping it up at Kitson on Saturday (December 21).
The Hills actress spent some time picking out a few items at the trendy Robertson Blvd boutique, then headed off to grab a quick bite to eat at Newsroom.
Meanwhile, LC recently spoke with Cindy Pearlman about her own fashion line, telling that she has extremely high aspirations when it comes to her own range of duds.
Lauren told, “I’m serious about my lines and I do them as a designer and not as someone on a reality show. I wanted to create a brand that will last longer than my TV series.”
During the interview between Cindy and Lauren, the dialog continues:
Cindy: Define your own style when you’re not filming the show.
Lauren: I like to be comfortable in my clothes. I love the empire cut when it comes to shirts and dresses. It’s also something that’s great if you don’t have a perfect body. Who needs tight stuff? Most women are happy with a little give in their clothes. What I wear depends on my mood. I do love wearing dresses. They’re just easier. I love, love, love 3.1. Phillip Lim [available at Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus]. He does these really feminine details on his clothing and each piece of really special.
Cindy: Are you a shoe gal?
Lauren: [laughing] I’m a huge shoes girl. I bought this big bookshelf that I installed on the wall in my bedroom. I keep all my good shoes on it. You almost display the shoes that way. Shoes are like art to me. They need to be displayed. I used to wear mostly flip-flops, but I only own a few pairs now. Now I love my Miu Miu flats with costume jewelry on them. I love Christian Louboutin shoes. They’re soooo beautiful. I try to buy only the basic shoes there because they’re a little pricy and I feel guilty buying them. But they’re such a classic design.
Cindy: You’re going to Paris on future episodes of “The Hills.” How will that influence your designs?
Lauren: I’ve just been to Paris and it’s 99 percent for sure I’m going to do a fall fashion show. Paris was wonderful, but I’ll always just design for myself. My style changes all the time. Being in Europe, I was touched by how beautiful everything is …breathtaking in the details.
Cindy: Who has the best sense of style in Hollywood these days and why?
Lauren: I’ve always loved the way Ashley Olsen dresses. I love the Olsen twin style. They really will try everything. These girls don’t follow a trend. They set their own trends. Anyone can open a magazine and dress the way they tell you to dress. It takes time to create your own style and the Olsens are brave and take risks. I take risks, too, wearing my clothes on the show. I’ve worn the entire line.
Cindy: OK, tell us everything that will happen in the future of “The Hills.” We gotta ask.
Lauren: [laughing] I’m not supposed to talk about it. When I give things away, I get in trouble!
Cameron Diaz’s Love of Shoes
Cameron Diaz’s Love of Shoes
If there’s one thing that all women seem to love it’s shoe shopping. And Cameron Diaz indulged her footwear fetish yesterday in Beverly Hills, California.
The “Shrek the Third” actress found a virtual Mecca of shoes at the upscale Barney’s department store. When all was said and done, she spent over an hour trying on multiple pairs of shoes.
Miss Diaz sported some cute, freshly-painted toes along with a pair of comfy jeans, an off-the-shoulder sweater and a playfully pulled-back hairstyle.
After awhile, it was apparent that she was being photographed, and Cameron got a bit camera shy, leaving the store soon thereafter.
Emile Hirsch Defends His Privacy With Denim
With the dizzying Speed Racer following his acclaimed role in last year’s Into the Wild, Emile Hirsch stands poised to become a Hollywood megahunk. What can save him from the inevitability of a frothy-mouthed following of female fans following this weekend's release?Well, this outfit, for starters. Nobody who pairs jeans with a denim jacket (over and over and over) has been the object of female desire since Duran Duran was on the cover of Tiger Beat, and nobody wants to relive those days. We think Emile must know that. Clever man. Some stars have to move to sparsely populated states to avoid screaming fans invading their privacy. Not Emile. As long as he wears that getup, ain’t nobody going to want to go near him.
