Leighton Meester

My girl, Leighton Meester, was on the set of "Gossip Girl" today looking EXTRA adorable. I swear, she is even more precious every time I see her. It is ridiculous to me and I love her so much. Look past these very poor paparazzi pictures (Boo, paparazzi) and let's focus on her Oscar de la Renta dress. Adorbs. Even more adorbs? Her hair. I miss her being everywhere all the time.
Look at the beading on her dress!
Love her. Too much.
Seriously, what is this picture? You know, I made friends with a paparazzi man and he even showed me his camera. He was talented-ish, so I am praying these photos aren't his. Well, he was in LA, so I guess I am mad at New York paparazzi. Ooh tangent. Either way, I love her dress.

Diane Kruger

YES. The Venice Film Festival has begun. It just crept up on us, didn't it? "The Ides of March" premiere, a movie I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to by the way, was today and I already have a favorite. My only suggestion is that they fly Ryan Gosling out to Italy with them to promote the movie? I mean, he's on the official movie poster for goodness' sake! Anyway, Diane Kruger looked stunning in this Elie Saab gown. It is so gorgeous, I want to cry. I love it. I love the sparkles on the bottom of the skirt, I love the cut and I love the bodice. This is magnificent, no?

MTV VMAs 2011

Ugh. Let the Liz Lemon eyerolls begin. I was thisclose to not blogging about the Video Music Awards because I was so annoyed/repulsed by all of it, but I figured I must. But seriously, oh my gosh. It was so heinous and I didn't even watch it, my friends. I followed a few people on Twitter who were live Tweeting and I heard just about enough to stop me from watching it. And anyway, I hate MTV with quite a big piece of my heart. With that being said...
Yes. Beyonce is pregnant. I am half really excited to meet baby BeyonceJay-Z and half kind of disappointed at the fact she announced it like this. But it was pointed out to me that it was a good job on her PR's behalf. Enough of that though, I do really like her Lanvin dress and she is glowing. She is my choice for best dressed of the night.
Pros: Katy Perry is adorable. I love her pink hair. I love that her pink hair matches her pink shoes. Cons: Umbrella. This Atelier Versace outfit. I loathe it.
So, I actually really like Selena Gomez's Julien MacDonald gown. Yeah, it's a little much and at first I was like "Homegirl, where is your neck?!" But it has grown on me. I love her gold accessories too and by that I mainly mean her shoes. They are gorgeous.
WHAT. THE. WHAT. Yes, I am so flabbergasted, I am not even going to use a question mark. Seriously, what is going on? I do love Justin Bieber's cheetah print shoes, but his top half makes him look like he's a 50 year old woman what with the necklaces, pins and glasses, his hands make him look like a crazy snake man and his bottom half makes him look like a Jonas Brother, only in their times of tight red pants and skinny ties. I legitimately do not understand any of this.
Um. Lady Gaga showed up as her alter-ego Jo Calderone. It is the STRANGEST thing. I think the Fuggirls described it perfectly "I'm sure it's deeply significant that after being reborn inside a giant womb at last year's VMAs, this year Gaga showed up swaddled in testosterone and acted like kind of a dick. (Seriously, she made Britney's acceptance speech all about her.)"
Evidently Nicki Minaj got in a nasty fight with Muppets. And then she got in a fight in JoAnn's. And then she got in a fight with more arts supplies because like, yeah. I don't even know but she definitely got into a little tiff with someone considering this outfit is a hot mess. Nay, hot mess doesn't even BEGIN.
Everyone was Tweeting angry Tweets towards Demi Lovato on Sunday night calling her fat. Let me just say, it is NEVER okay to talk about someone's weight. NEVER. I mean, okay, you can discuss it really quick, but do not say mean things about it and never tell them. That is one of the worst things you can do in my book. So, that being said, I do not agree. (Although, she admitted she gained weight after getting out of rehab for an eating disorder). Yes, she is volumptuous, but she's flaunting it. And yes, maybe she should flaunt it less, and by less I mean a looser dress, perhaps, but as long as she's healthy, that's okay. Okay, guys?
Um, why was Katie Holmes there and why, oh why did she wear these shoes? But more importantly why was she there?
Oh, Britney darling. She is precious. She looks so uncomfortable which makes me really sad. Her shoes also make me sad too, but for different reasons, but her hair and makeup is flawless.
I don't know who Kreayshawn is. I don't know why she spells her name like that. I don't know how to pronounce her name. I don't know why she only has tattoos on one arm. I don't know why she is wearing Disney Characters on her body. I think only Katy Perry could pull this off. I don't know why she is wearing tennis shoes with a sequined dress. I DO NOT know why she walked outside with her hair like this. SO many things I don't know.
You know, good for Adele. She's not wearing things which make her uncomfortable. HOWEVER, I wish she wore color. Do we know how great she would look in an eggplant or mustard? And no, I didn't pick those colors because they're my favorite of the season. Hm, Adele, let me help you?
I feel like Drake Bell is going to be the new Ryan Cabrera. He was cute years ago. Every 13 year old girl had like, a secret conversation with themselves like "Aw, he's cute. I could kiss him." But now. He wears red pants, weird fedoras and he has two (visible) tattoos which is what Ryan Cabrera started off with and now he looks like, well, you know. If you don't know, you should Google him. Once Drake Bell decides to dye his hair, it's all downhill from there.
JoJo wore a Marco Marco dress and I am thinking no no. I don't know. That was a sad attempt at a joke. But you get what I am saying. It's not good. It has wings, my friends. WINGS. And her hair doesn't look great this dark. She needs to lighten it. Lighten her hair and maybe her wardrobe a little, no?
I am having problems. And not because I hate this, which I don't. But I am looking at the picture of Ashley Rickards (That random girl from that random MTV show "Awkward." I watched like, 5 minutes and then realized I hated MTV and it was boring.) on the Go Fug Yourself blog and in their picture she is wearing black pumps. Here she is wearing nude. I AM SO CONFUSED. Does she have a fairy godmother like in "Sleeping Beauty?" You know, the ones who change the color of Aurora's dress? Or did she change her shoes in the middle of the carpet? Oh wait, maybe on Go Fug Yourself she is at an afterparty? But either way, I don't know why she is wearing two different shoes. If you are going to change for an afterparty, wouldn't you just change your dress? Whatever, I like her dress. A lot. It's super cute. But the shoes, the shoes are confusing me especially considering the fact I like the black ones better. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?
Um, no Kim Kardashian. Just, no.
Um, no JWoww. Just no.
HOLY NO, Snooki. What on Earth?
HOLY HELL NO random other cast member from "Jersey Shore." HOLY NO. Granted, I have only watched about two handfuls of episodes of "Jersey Shore" until I realized I legitimately could not handle it. It made me feel proud of myself - for not being a skanky drunk mess - but it also made me feel stupid for a) Watching the show and b) Watching MTV. So, with that being said, I don't remember this girl's name, because I don't care, but I am going to re-name her Rainbow Brite. I think that's fair.

Royal Apothic Rollerball

If you must know anything about me, it is this. I love Macaroons. J'aime des macarons. I am not even lying when I tell you I have had dreams about them. It's so ridiculous it is almost stupid. Although it's not stupid because they are delicious, pretty and they smell nice. Speaking of smelling nice, *I shall bow for the nice transition*, whilst roaming around Anthropologie today, I came across this Royal Apothic Rollerball in, you guessed it, Macaroon. I quietly squeaked and rolled it on my hand. It smells amazing. The smell is lingering on my left hand and I keep smelling it. I am sure people in class are like "What the what is she doing?" But then again, I am sure everyone is on Facebook and not caring what I am doing with my hand. Anyway, Anthropologie.com describes the Macaroon scent as "the sweet-nutty smell of toasted coconut and sugar." It is the perfect description. I WILL have this in my possession soon. They are only $16 each and come in Macaroon, Hyacinth, Earl Grey (Which I am sure some of my friends will love) and Poppy. Mm. So much love in my heart.

"Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... The worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... They are mean and they want to kill you."

Julianna Margulies

Oh, I absolutely adore the Carolina Herrera outfit Julianna Margulies wore yesterday for her appearance on the "Late Show With David Letterman." It's so chic and polished. This is the type of outfit I envision 35 year old Erin wearing. Actually, I would wear this now. This look is so well put together, I am quite the fan.

Jessica Chastain

First off, she's adorable and I still love her. Second, I am mad that I missed this because I KNEW she was going to be on Chelsea Lately and I well, I forgot. So, in case you weren't following along with me, Jessica Chastain visited Chelsea Handler on "Chelsea Lately" on Thursday and while I think she is darling and her hair is cute and her shoes are actually to die for, I don't like her dress. I love the colors, but this whole oriental feel is not my favorite. So, to be clear. I love her, I love her shoes but I hate her dress.

Sneak Peek: "The Rachel Zoe Project" Season 4

I honestly cannot tell you how excited I am for this. Pregnant Rachel Zoe is even better than normal Rachel Zoe. This season is going to be BANANAS. I can hardly wait.

Lady Gaga

On Friday night, Lady Gaga threw a party for the VMAs or something like that. I don't know/care. But I was pleasantly surprised by her outfit. That is, until I saw her shoes. She has to be Lady Gaga-esque somehow, I guess. But I really do like her outfit. It's normal, it fits her, she looks like an actual human being. It's great. Her hair and her necklace are fantastic as well. So, maybe the fashion line isn't a rumor?...

Vanessa Hudgens

I apologize for the mean and potentially hurtful (If she were to ever read this, and I think that she should) comments about to ensue, BUT I hope Vanessa Hudgens knows that this beanie (I kind of hate girl beanies, in case you were wondering after my rant about Joe Jonas' missing beanie) does not make up for the fact she got a grossugly haircut. And plus, who wears a beanie with a maxidress? I mean, really? Really.

ELLE Canada September 2011 Outtakes

Yes, September issue outtakes are here already, which excites me so! Jessica Chastain's ELLE Canada cover shoot outtakes have been released and I love them. I love them even more than I loved the photos that made it into the magazine. She is gorgeous, no doubt about that one. Oh and I am lusting after her hair. It's amazing. Someone give her a shampoo deal already!

Behind the Scenes: Jessica Chastain for ELLE Canada

I apologize on behalf of the music. It is kind of awful, but she looks great, so maybe put it on mute? There is no talking, so you'll just miss the bad music, which by the way, is now stuck in my head, thanks very much.

Andrew Garfield

WHAT THE WHAT? What is happening to my celebrity boyfriends? This time, it was my British boyf, Andrew Garfield. I think this may or may not be, but probably definitely is, worse than Joe Jonas' album cover. AGarf literally looked like he rolled out of bed and just appeared out of nowhere on Wednesday night at the screening of "Meatballs" at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I know what you're thinking "Was it necessary to add where he was?" Why yes, yes it was partially because I really want to go there. And that's saying a lot considering my fear for all things death related. On a side note, I do like his awkward pose.

Joe Jonas

Joe Jonas, my ultimate celebrity dream boyfriend, released his album cover and well, I don't like it. Nay, I really don't like it. Come on, Joe. Go back to your kinda-hipster self, please. I get it. You're 22 and that's great, but I am not loving this. I also don't know what he is wearing but I don't think I like that either. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS BEANIE? Yes, I like beanies. I cannot help this infatuation. Believe you me, I have tried.

Leighton Meester

AH! My love for her grows continuously. Yesterday I commented on how beautiful she looked last night at the launch of Vera Wang's Lovestruck but now that I've seen her dress, if it's possible, I think she looks even more gorgeous. I love this look from head to toe. I even love her black pumps. They compliment the belt perfectly. She is perfection. Plain and simple.

Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester is in New York City at the Vera Wang Lovestruck party tonight looking extra gorgeous. I swear, this girl crush is OFFICIALLY out of hand. I love her. I love her, so. I can't wait to see the rest of this dress.

Lady Gaga Clothing Line?

Word on the web is that Lady Gaga is teaming up with her sister, Natali Germanotta, to create a clothing line. Now, I know what you're thinking. Lady Gaga has a strange and demented idea as to what "clothing" is. But she knew you were going to say that and it's been clarified, this line will be "relatively normal and wearable." I feel like the word people are reading over is relatively. Let's dissect that word, shall we? Relatively: Viewed in comparison with something else rather than absolutely. So, relatively normal probably means it will be hella weird still. But oh no. It will be classic. Apparently she wants to "'remodel the styles of classic icons from the past, for example, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Katherine Hepburn' BUT the glamourous styles will each come with a twist - like the white Marilyn dress made up in kinky rubber." First off, I hate that they described rubber as kinky. Rubber is hot and uncomfortable, not kinky. Also, Grace Kelly? Do not, for the love of everything good, sweet and holy in this universe, do not drag my Grace Kelly into this. I just don't understand what is going on. I am nervous to see this. And by nervous, I mean dreading it. Because you guys, what if I... Like it?...

Jessica Chastain

Yes! She has more movies to promote, which I love. She joined Helen Mirren last night at the New York screening of "The Debt" in this Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture dress. Personally, I like it. Although I will admit it's kind of dull. She needs a little diamond necklace, but I do love her hair and applaud her nude Louboutins. And maybe she (Well, her stylist) should choose darker colors? I do like this, but did you see how great she looked in a mustard yellow or an eggplant color? I still really like her, you guys.
