Extra, extra! It’s Fashion Week in New York City and former American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler was on hand for the festivities after having been attacked by a department store makeup counter facialist. What a trooper!

For the girl to step out even after being blushed to death, lipsticked to a bloody pulp and eyelashed from here to tomorrow is quite amazing. She must be one helluva fan of whatever designer she was seeing that day. I mean, for real.

Now, I must say that I totally dig this coat, but beyond that, the girl is a mess. The hair is much too slicked back and the makeup is so damn over the top I worry for those who were photographed with her. Gah!

Fashion Week is all about taking chances and “being seen” and Gawd knows this girl is achieving both of those things…though not in a good way. *shudder*

Pickler, take heed. There will be fashion and makeup mavens at every shoulder rub. Learn from them. Puh-leeze.

Look how gorgeous model Christie Brinkley looks at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. She was doing an interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and stopped to pose for a few pictures.

Christie is proof that there are some women in this world who are timeless beauties, but she has said before that she takes very good care of herself. Although timeless beauty can definitely be hereditary, most of the time you have to work at it a little and make sure you take very good care of yourself!

Jessica Simpson Out in NYC

I know so many of y’all hate on poor Jessica Simpson, but as daffy as she is, I still mostly dig her. And I especially love when she ditches the hideous racing gear and country bumpkin threads in exchange for glamming her bad self out.

Love her or hate her, you must admit the girl’s a stunner here. Looks like she got her hair did and her makeup is nothing short of fab. She’s even got the pouty lip thang going. Add to it the sexy peep-toes, slinky dress and wrap and you’ve got one hot tamale. Mama Snarkstress totally approves. This is a look Jess should stick with, for sure. Agreed?

Paris Hilton out in London

Wow, um, way to channel Donna Reed for this outfit, P. Hil. For some oddball reason, I think a waist-apron and a plate of cookies is in order here.

Sure, it’s a little more low-cut than the average 50’s dress, but the skirt of the dress, bright red lips and schlacked hairdo are all signs of the times. Is Benji crackin’ the whip these days or what?

Jamie Lee Curtis

Sweet Jeezus, dahlings. If ever there was a dream I have for my old age, this is it. I want to look like Jamie Lee Curtis.

Check this hot beyotch out – she is pure class, sophistication, sass, and bad ass-ishness, all rolled into one. Seriously, there is not one dern thing wrong with her in this photo.

I wanna be like JLC when I grow up!!!

So spill it, loves. Who is your “mature” role model? It’s Friday. Time to blow off work and talk about more important matters…

Jessica Simpson on GMA

Gawd bless Jessica Simpson for getting her yee-hawing buns out on the concert circuit (here, performing live on Good Morning America), but holy hell. Who dressed this girl? She looks more like she’s about to slip on some wooden clogs or something, rather than cowboy boots. And the top? Gah! Talk about a horrible fit! I’m all for showing off The Girls you know, but here the cut of this wretched blouse-thingy is just plain wrong.

I’m aghast that someone who is looking to make a name for herself in a whole other genre than what’s she’s already famous for would not put her best foot forward. We all know that those country girls can be hot, hot, hot (right, Carrie?) and it’s not necessary to pull out the ugliest dress in history to be remembered. Nor is it necessary to wear the sheerest makeup around, so it looks like you didn’t even bother. Sheesh.

I’m not nearly a country gal, Jess, but I’m still rootin’ fer ya. But you’ll need to do a little bit better, fashion-wise though, mm-kay? Thanks.

Look at Jessica Simpson, bustin’ out the Daisy Dukes again. She must be longing for those controversial Dukes of Hazzard days, eh? (Does anyone else miss Jess and Nick together, or is it just moi?) Regardless, her stems can pull these short little ditties off, so why the hell not?

The thing I’m concerned about, however, is the gargantuan bag. She carries these around, like, always. Just what is she hiding in there? A dead body? Her ever-present hairstylist/bff Ken Paves? A photo album from the Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica days? Or maybe she’s just using those mega-bags to hide behind? I dunno. But whatever, I am seriously over these mongo things (and have been for ages. Sigh.)

On the plus side, Jess’s hair looks stellar and her makeup is amazingly perfect. I won’t be shy about admitting that some girls just look better all fussed up. Jess is one.

Hmmm. Maybe Ken Paves is in that bag, after all…

Okay, dahlings, so I’ve taken on the oh-so-horrific (pfffft!) job of digging through all the Teen Choice Awards photos. And – no surprise – there are jillions of Miley Cyrus.

Now, the photos I saw of Miles from the waist up were killer. Her hair is primo, her makeup divine, the dress promising. But then…dum dum dum! I see a full length. And indeed, the dress is promising. It’s quite fabby, in fact. So what kills this look in a hurry? It’s the frickety frackin’ boots, of course!

The inclusion of these boots must have been a mistake, I’m certain, because no stylist in their right mind would allow this dress on the red carpet without an amazing silver sandal. Hell, I’d even take Brooke Hogan’s see-through disasters in place of these Hee-Haw inspired shit-kickers. Eep.

Yanno, I suppose it’s not the boots’ fault they’re being misused. With the right outfit, they’re actually workable. But with this dress? Good Gawd, no.

So what do you think, loves? Did Smiley Miley eff this up or am I just being cranky? Pull up a cocktail and let me know…

After giving the normally fab Demi Moore (and hubby Ashton Kutcher) a whole lotta shit a couple weeks ago, I am so relieved to see her getting her act back together and looking scrumptious here.

The royal blue color, while “in” in Hollywood for far too long, looks great with her complexion and the cut and complexities of this frock are both interesting and appealing. I even respect her choice of bronzish/goldish shoes instead of the black the ladies of tinseltown seem to always want to pair with royal.

Her hair’s sexy, her makeup’s just right, and her big ‘ol bright smile is always a welcome accessory.

Phew, thank you dearly, Demi dahling. So glad my prior tongue-lashing talked some good sense into you. See, a little tough love never hurt anyone.

Everything about this look is perfecto. The slouchy yet chic shirt, the wrinkled-just-right linen pants, the killer shoes, sunglasses, fab hairdo and neutral makeup palette – divine! But the piece de resistance? The ungodly incredible, magnificent, stupendous, crazy-fab bag that is so unbelievably drool-worthy, I’d gladly risk your going to jail in exchange for stealing it for me. And yes, I’ll visit you in the clink…with the bag.

Anyhoo, loves, just a nice refreshing pic of a starlet who has done everything right in the summertime cazh department.

Bravo, Eva dahling, bravo!
