White Trash Beautiful: Heather Locklear and Ava Sambora

We recently learned a few things about Heather Locklear's fam that we didn't know before.

Heather Locklear and her daughter Ava Sambora look practically identical.





2. Heather's ex Richie Sambora has a women's clothing line called White Trash Beautiful.



3. Heather's 13 year old daughter Ava is currently a model (or at least she is whenever Dad designs the clothes).


We're most surprised by the second revelation. You?

Day and Night with Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto by Day. Freida has been working it for her new movie Miral. Here she is in a day look for a photo shoot. We love the soft browns, which almost blend into her skin. We think her ensemble is a perfect look for such an occasion. Our biggest issue is the fact that her neck has disappeared. We have noticed this before with Freida. We're not sure if she has a short neck or if she just has tendency to hide it. Either way, it would have been nice to have seen a look that elongated her neck more.

Despite the neck problem, her shoes are too cute. We were worried they were too dark for the softness of her skirt and shirt, but we actually think they add some nice contrast and, well, they're just too darn cute to say anything bad about. So, we say IN for this day look even if there were some things we would have done differently.
















Question: And what does Ms. Pinto wear when the sun goes down?

Worst Dressed Actresses at the Scream Awards

Also at the Scream Awards, were several actresses who looked frighteningly awful. Our nominees for Worst Dressed are:

1. Betsy Russell. Saw star Betsy Russell showed up with one of the most disturbing cleavage shots we've seen in awhile. This is just plain ugly. You should really be wearing a bra dear because the girls need some help.

Best Dressed Actresses at the Scream Awards

Many of our fave celebs attended this year's Scream Awards. Some looked divine, while other looked screamingly awful. And the nominees for Best Dressed are:

1. Blake Lively. We think this gray looks very pretty on the always fashionable Blake Lively. The leather detail is also interesting and the jewel detail at the neckline adds just the right amount of sparkle to break up a look that might otherwise be a bit drab.

True, Minnie Driver and Hillary Swank look like they're attending an Egyptian-themed costume party, but that's no reason not to step back and give an objective review of their chosen gowns anyway.

We absolutely love the turquoise on Minnie Driver and we love the detail, but we worry it's just a bit costumey for us. Otherwise, we love it. She looks beautiful and the dress is incredibly flattering on her. So, we say she's IN.

Hillary Swank, on the other hand, looks like she's wearing shiny bandages. We think the bottom is pretty, but the top just doesn't work for us. It bunches in an unflattering way and her hair distracts from the neckline, which even if we don't like the way it bunches, seems to be the focal point of the dress. We also think this particular metallic is washing her out. For us, Ms. Swank is OUT.

Part 4: Road to South Africa with Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 11: Actors Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox attend the after party at the L.A. premiere for 'The Tripper' held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary on April 12, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)It has been far, far, far too long since our last post featuring a celebrity couple on the road to some fabulous destination. And so, without further ado, we have decided to take a little trip to South Africa with our fave BFF couple, Courtney Cox and Jen Aniston. Right now Courtney is hurting from her split from husband of 11 years, David Arquette, and is in serious need of some fun with her buddy Jen, who is continually unlucky in love. So, pack your bags dear hearts, and join Courtney, Jen, Mr. Fashionista and me for a trip to South Africa!

Michelle Williams in Erdem

Hey! We just saw this dress. Oooh. Looked a lot better on the model at the Erdem show during London Fashion Week. We can't quite put our finger on what the problem is...

Aha! We know what it is. On the model, the dress is shorter, which makes a dress which could look dowdy, a bit fresher. Plus the shorter dress length makes it appear more full, narrowing the waist. If Michelle had just had the dress shortened, then we'd be all for it. As it is, we're thinking it's a bit frumpy, even if it is red lace. And she looks a bit thick waisted. We don't necessarily hate it, we just think it would look better as the designer intended. (Of course, we're almost positive that if we had never seen the model in this dress, which as you know we were quite taken with when we saw it at LFW, we would have loved it immediately on Michelle.)

And we hate, hate, hate, Michelle's white blonde hair.We are undecided on the leopard print shoes. Could be genius, but like we said, we're unsure.What do you think readers? Red hot or Cherry bomb?

Project Runway: Thank God For Second Chances

44666, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Thursday September 9, 2010. Tim Gunn cannot stop laughing as he exits a taxi cab following the 'Project Runway' fashion show at the Lincoln Center in NYC. Photograph:  Wagner Az, PacificCoastNews.comThis week's episode of Project Runway, aka Thank God For Second Chances, begins with the designers being dragged back to the runway after last week's elimination. Heidi's on the runway (still in that pretty blue dress from last week) and tells the designers they will be in for a little r&r before the final round of eliminations and she will send them to one of the most spectacular places in the Big Apple. And, surprisingly, we see our remaining designers head into the Presidential Suite and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, complete with champagne. Gretchen heads over to do the honors, and disappointingly, no POP, as she removes the cork from the bottle. Nice control Gretch.



1. The New York Challenge. After each of the designers talks about what the competition has meant for them, they head to the roof of the hotel where Mayor Bloomberg meets them. Wow. Doesn't he have better things to do? Nah. We soon find out that this week's challenge is a giant ad for the tourism industry of NYC. That's right, the designers will be required to design a look inspired by New York itself.
