Nicole Kidman covers July Vogue



OK. Oscar winner and former Chanel babe Nicole Kidman is pregnant. She's been so for a couple of months now. So we're kind of unsure as to why Vogue felt compelled to splash the "Pregnancy Update" cover line right under her chin on their July issue, but whatevs.

Angelina Jolie's competition for hottest mama honors


We caught some heat for pointing out that Angelina Jolie looked awful -- no really, just terrible -- in that grey dress at the Cannes premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, and we love when you share them in the comments. Bring it on!

However, we also want to reiterate that our dismay was largely due to the fact that Angelina usually leads the pack when it comes to fashion fabulousness, even while pregnant.

She does have some competition. In the gallery, Angelina's best, plus nine ladies currently vying for the Hottest Mama, Summer 2008 title.

Audrey Tautou for Chanel No.5?


As we mentioned earlier, the legendary Coco Chanel has two film biopics coming out this year that chronicle her life as the designer of the iconic Parisian fashion house that we've all come to know and love.

Shirley MacLaine will star in the television adaptation set to air on the Lifetime TV channel, which will follow Chanel's later years returning to Paris, after exiling herself in Germany and Switzerland during World War II.

Meanwhile, French actress Audrey Tautou has been tapped as the lead in the Chanel feature-length movie, Coco Avant Chanel. And according to a little rumor courtesy of WWD, Tautou may also be fronting the equally fabulous Chanel No.5 perfume campaign.

Oscar Coverage: Worst dressed - Nicole Kidman



Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite pale ladies in all of Hollywood. But, I wish she would own her skin color. Wearing a black dress when your skin is as white as snow can sometimes make one look rather witch-y.

I also wish she would own her pregnancy! Show it off Nicole! Every gossip blog out there knows you've been wanting to have biological children since back before you starting botoxing the life out of your forehead, had red hair and dated pre-couch jumping crazy Tom Cruise. And now Keith Urban's golden sperm has done the trick. You're finally knocked up, so give us what we've all been waiting for -- a glimpse of that little baby bump!

Honestly, there's not that much wrong with this dress. It's kind of an awkward length -- like someone accidentally hemmed it just an inch too short. And it's a little boring. The plain black looks sort of like a prom dress, I mean if it weren't worn with a ridiculous diamond necklace, which is most certainly worth more than my house. But, I can't really put my finger on what I don't like about Nicole's Oscar get-up. I think I just expected more from one of the most elegant women in the business.

Is it OK to ugly-up for a big role?

Oh, the drama! Mariah Carey, in what can only be described as an unfortunate attempt to reinvent a fledgling career, has taken a part in the upcoming movie, Tennessee. Imagine Mariah's surprise when she got on set and discovered they didn't want her to be her ultra-glamorous self, but rather someone else. You know, like an actor.

More specifically, the costume people wanted Mariah to ugly-up with a schnoz and bushy eyebrows. The pop diva immediately called her people, and -- after being advised against the nose and 'brows by whoever she talked to -- refused to alter her appearance.

I'm sure Mariah said no because she thought looking ugly on screen would be bad for her career (or maybe she's just insecure). But does she really think people are too stupid to understand that she's wearing make-up? No one made fun of Nicole Kidman when she wore that enormous nose to play Virginia Wolf -- as a matter of fact, she got an Oscar!

So...am I missing something? Is Mariah being a crazy diva, or are her concerns justified?

Is it OK to ugly-up for a big part?

Katie Holmes gets $50,000 to sit in the front row at fashion week

Katie HolmesIn case you haven't noticed, it's fashion week, so all the designers and celebrities have come out to show what they've cooked up for fall (and to see what everyone else is wearing). Obviously, being a high-profile person gives you a kind of notoriety and power not normally afforded to models -- so it's not surprising that someone like Nicole Kidman, Mischa Barton or Katie Holmes would get big bucks to walk down the runway.

But why would they, when these celebrities can get paid tens of thousands of dollars just to show up.

In a recent article on Forbes.com, it was revealed that big designers hire "wranglers" who pay famous people to sit in the front rows of their fashion shows. That, in itself, isn't exactly insider information -- but what is surprising, is just how money these celebrities can get.

For instance, Katie Holmes would probably get $50,000 -- just to sit there -- while lesser stars like Kidman or Barton would get $25,000 to $40,000.

I have obviously chosen the wrong profession.

Style according to Burger King?

We all have our own ideas about what makes someone a style icon. For me, it's some combination of a free spirited sense of what is flattering -- like Cate Blanchett. For other people, the criteria might be something as simple as always looking great -- like Nicole Kidman. A new video on YouTube, produced by P. Diddy and Burger King seems to have an all together different idea about the definition of style. In a generous assessment, the video suggests that style is really about "having it your way."

Watch it for yourself:


Don't get me wrong, P. Diddy is one stylish man, and I can't deny that they have a point about the relationship between "having it your way" and being a stylish person, but that doesn't answer my underlying question about this video.

What does Burger King have to do with style?
