Janet: The Queen of Drag?

Janet Jackson is so impressed by the legion of drag queens who attempt to mimic her act she'd like to be one. The Control hitmaker admits she checks out drag stars who have their own Janet Jackson act whenever she hears of one - and some are amazing. She chuckles, "One of them was at the Baton (Show Lounge) in Chicago. This was a few years ago. And she did a wonderful job. "(There was) another… in Atlanta at the Jungle. She did a wonderful job as well.
"They really study you… (and) they pour it on more, which I absolutely love. They give more than I do and I love that. The first time I went to the Baton in Chicago and saw this show, I was with some of my dancers.
"Afterward, I said to my dancers, 'We've gotta pull (it) up because these bitches are hitting it. They're giving so much femininity and we look like boys onstage.'
Jackson tells Eonline.com that sometimes the drag queens' Janet routines make it into her live shows.
She adds, "We were trying our hardest to ooze with that feminine touch."
And she'd love to 'drag it up' for a magazine photoshoot: "It would be really fun to do a whole editorial spread in a magazine with me as a drag queen, completely from head to toe. I would love to do that."

This is a themed party and this is the time to go nasty! But there's just so much to like in Janet's white halter neck silk jersey gown by Versace. If you must flaunt the toned body…

Rating: 3

A lot of people have been raving Emmy's black and white mermaidish Phi lace gown. The silhouette, the floral print and yes, she looks amazing. But too bad, even that wasn't enough for Emmy to sit in Anna Wintour's table at the Costume Gala. Not too tunning?

The New Face of Naomi

Actress Naomi Watts has been unveiled as the new face of designer THIERRY MUGLER's Angel fragrance.

The blonde beauty will grace billboards and TV screens later this year (08) as the spokesmodel of the perfume.
Watts was filmed for the TV commercial by director Bill Condon, and was snapped by acclaimed photographer Al Mahdavi for the print adverts.

Rating: 2

Naomi does a Marilyn Monroe/Veronica Lake in her all white pleated number at the Costume Gala. Adding a star detail doesn't really make it to the theme of fantasy and superhero

Julia Fulfills Her Dream

Julia Roberts

Admits she doesn't use deodorant. Instead, she relies on old-fashioned soap and water to keep her armpits fresh.

Julia and her brother Eric used to stutter as kids.

Angrily gave chase to a car carrying paparazzi photographers after spotting them filming her near a school. (November 29, 2007)

Says at age 40 her dream is to be a highly fulfilled and productive stay-at-home mom and wife. (Novembe r2007)

A mysterious mole on the side of her right breast, spotted by photographers during a photo shoot, has sparked cancer debate. (October 28, 2006)

Caused a stir by greeting fans on Broadway wearing a seven-year-old dress, which she last wore to the London premiere of NOTTING HILL in 1999, where she shocked onlookers by revealing her hairy armpits as she waved to the crowd. (June 21, 2006)

Rating: 2

Is Julie giving away Giorgio Armani? Well, she is dressed for the part as the mother of the bride anyway. Not even her killer smile can save her from this disaster.

Karolina Kurkova

Nicknames: KK, Koka Kola or simply Kinka.

Trade mark: Long Blond Hair

Became famous in America when she appeared on the cover of Vogue in February 2001 at the tender age of 17

As a child, her height made her relatively awkward and gangly.

Won the Model of the Year title at the 2002 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards

Rating: 3

Karolina went for the shimmer in her Vera Wang asymmetrical outfit, but I would have loved to see legs in this dress. A shorter version would have been awesome.

Ashlee’s Maid of Honor

Posted by justinemae
jsw_14425_celebutopia-ashlee_simpson-white_house_correspondents64_association_dinner-02_122_481lo.jpg

With all the secrecy surrounding Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Saturday wedding, one thing is for sure: sister Jessica will also walk down the aisle as Ashlee’s maid of honor.

“Of course,” the older Simpson told People Magazine when asked if she’ll be the girl for the job.

Ashlee, 23 and her Fall-Out Boy beau have remained mum about their wedding day and pregnancy. But one thing that Ashlee wants to talk about – her new album Bittersweet World.

Rating: 5

Though it’s big sister Jessica that has been trying to break into the clothing industry, it’s clearly Ashlee that has better fashion sense. Gone are her punk roots and in her place is a glowing soon-to-be mother and wife. Pete Wentz has definitely got to keep up with his beau and work extra hard in the style department.

Mila’s Random Quotes

Posted by justinemae
jsw_43015_celebutopia-mila_kunis-mtv_trl-05_122_76lo2.jpg

Ukranian-born Mila Kunis of That ‘70s Show and Forgetting Sarah Marshall has a few random quirky thoughts up in her mind:

On her 2008 New Year’s Resolution: “I'm going to start dating more, because my kids need a new dad."

On her sleeping rituals with ex Macaulay Culkin: "We're dating. I keep in touch with him when I wake up in the morning, keep in touch with him when I go to bed. If I don't go to bed I don't talk to him, it's this crazy relationship we have."

Rating: 2

Mila’s Mistake #1: Donning this black paper bag/ tent dress and slapping on some dark heavy make-up. Casual and goth just don’t match.

Mistake #2: Wearing the ghoulish look out to MTV’s TRL without a glance at the mirror before she left the house. She would have realized that her collared-look made her look like she lost her neck.

Kristin Cavallari a Movie Star?

jsw_008118522.jpg

Kristin Cavallari’s getting her very own sex comedy.

The Laguna Beach babe is set to appear in an indie flick Wild Cherry alongside Rob Schneider and Rumer Willis.

According to Variety, the comedy is about a high school senior who plans to lose her virginity to her football-playing boyfriend only to find out that her man only wanted to sleep with her so he could score with the team’s “bang book.” The plot thickens when the gal and her pals plot revenge.

Rating: 3

Not that there is anything wrong with a strapless black dress, but Kristin Cavallari doesn’t look anything out of the ordinary in it. She could have upped the glam factor with cuter shoes, a better hairstyle or a nicer pose.

Ellen Waited Seven Years

Posted by justinemae
jsw_46459_metropolitan_museum_gala_050508_celebutopia_ellen_barkin02_122_862lo.jpg

Ellen Barkin was born in Bronx, New York to a lower middle-class Jewish family.

She double majored in history and drama at Hunter College.

She wanted to teach ancient history.

She studied acting for seven years before landing her first audition.

In on off-Broadway play, a New York Times critic described Ellen’s performance as “If it were really possible to give the kiss of life to a corpse, the actress Ellen Barkin would be the one to do it.”

Rating: 4

I love this dress on Ellen Barkin – pure movie star glamour. But did too much focus on the dress make Ellen forget that her hair needed work too? It’s just a little too casual for my taste. The MET gala is definitely not the place for wash-and-wear hair.

Early this year, Without a Trace star Roselyn Sanchez announced her engagement to soap star Eric Winter. Winter, 31, proposed while the pair was vacationing in the resort island of Viesques in the Caribbean. The couple has been dating for two years.

Sanchez, a Puerto Rican-born stunner is also has also always on the world’s sexiest woman list, according to Stuff and Maxim.

Rating: 3

With the slew of Grecian goddess and mermaid-inspired dresses to hit the red carpet, this champagne-colored one attempts to do a mix both. Not that it particularly works – this fussy gown is clearly suffering from details overload. But still, Roselyn looks absolutely stunning.

Iman is a spokesperson for Keep A Child Alive, which provides drugs to HIV/AIDS children and families in Africa and India.

In December 2007 Iman launched her signature fashion line, IMAN Global Chic, on HSN.

Rating: 1

Sure it's red hot if we are just talking about the color. Everybody has been saying how elegant,  regal and sophisticated Iman was at the Costume Gala. She looks good because she has a super model body but if you are talking about the dress - it should be part of the "been there, done that" club.
