Barbie fever has arrived at Paris Fashion Week!

In honour of the doll's 50th anniversary, Barbie will be wearing Karl Lagerfeld's designs in Colette's store windows.

Wearing a cocktail dress, wedding gown and a Chanel suit, the doll will strike a pose with model Baptiste Giabiconi as Ken.

The dolls will be put on display starting March 9th through March 28th. There will also be a high security exhibition of the very first Barbie and Ken dolls on March 12th.

I wish my Barbies had Chanel couture to wear!

Milan Fashion Week - Fall 2009 RTW

I was more impressed with the collections from Milan in comparison to London, but I fell in love with only a select few. Here are my favourite looks (click to enlarge):


Alessandro Dell'Acqua - Italian elegance at its best

Blue Marine - The bold patterns, bright colours and
vibrant runway was a nice contrast to all the muted
colours from other designers.


D&G - A night at the opera.


Dolce & Gabbana - My absolute favourite collection.
I found the clothing so beautiful, it was difficult
to narrow down which ones I liked the best.


DSquared2 - Dan and Dean Caten do Canada proud!
They accessorized their flirty looks with a fashionista's
favourite items: Starbucks, iPhones and tabloids.

Emporio Armani - Giorgio made his looks appealing
to both the young and the old.

Rihanna's family unable to get a hold of her

After hearing about the two felony charges against Chris Brown, Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty revealed to Us Weekly that he is unable to get a hold of her.

"...I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost," said Fenty. "I'll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, 'This is not Robin's number anymore.' I asked, 'Do you work for Robin? Do you deal with Robin?' And the girl hung up, so I don't know what's going on anymore. I'm lost."

Regarding the charges, Fenty said, "I don't know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he's a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can't feel the pain she felt. I don't believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don't feel happy or sad. He's in the court's hands. Let justice prevail."

Let's hope that Rihanna reaches out to her family soon!

Chris Brown charged with two felonies

Although they seem to have reconciled, Chris Brown has just been charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats - in the alleged beating of his girlfriend Rihanna on Feb. 8.

Brown is set to appear in an LA court at approximately 3:30 P.M. this afternoon.

If convicted, Brown faces anywhere from probation to a maximum four years and eight months in state prison, DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons told People.

LA's FOX 11 News was able to get its hands on LAPD detective notes from a search warrant detailing the horrific assault against Rihanna.

This is how the events unfolded, according to FOX 11:

After Rihanna read a text message on Brown's phone from a woman, he tried to force Rihanna out of the car, but couldn't because she was wearing her seatbelt.

Brown then allegedly slammed Rihanna's head against her window, and when Rihanna turned to face him, he punched her.

The notes said blood spattered on Rihanna's clothing and the interior of the Lamborghini.

Rihanna also called her assistant, according to FOX 11, leaving a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there."

Brown then reportedly replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you," and proceeded to punch and bite Rihanna. He allegedly put her in a headlock so long that she almost lost consciousness.

More to come on the results of Brown's court appearance.

Spotted: Chuck and Georgina!

And the rumours of Georgina's return to Gossip Girl begins!

After this photograph of Michelle Trachtenberg and Ed Westwick was taken on location back in February, we're left with a bunch of questions:

Will a romance spark between Chuck and Georgina?
If so, is this a way of getting back at Blair for assisting in shipping Georgie off to reform school?
Or, is Georgina just playing with Chuck? (Look at his facial expression in this picture).
Also, will Georgina try to get Dan back? What will happen to his professor-turned-hookup, Rachel?

Either way, if Chuck and Georgina are together causing trouble, the Queen B needs to watch out!

Trachtenberg will return to GG on April 27, and will be on the last four episodes of Season Two.

Alicia Keys plays Michelle Obama


...and she does a much better job than Tyra!

As part of Glamour magazine's "American Icons" feature, the 28 year-old singer portrays First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Dressed in a blue dress, with two young girls, and of course, a puppy by her side, Alicia Keys embodies the First Lady's best traits, looking poised, elegant, and chic.

“She has worked hard for everything she’s accomplished, and done so with grace and humility. So many women and girls can identify with her story,” Keys told the magazine.

Other female celebrities taking part in this feature include Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart, Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn, and Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert as Brandi Chastain. Lindsay Lohan is also photographed as Madonna and America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta.
