CK SS09
Calvin Klein''s CK Spring/Summer 2009 presentation just happened this week in New York, and you wish you were there. Actually it could be a little awkward hanging out with a bunch of half naked 16-year-olds staring straight ahead in a room.
Maybe better just to look at the photos after the jump!

McQueen for Target
I''m finding it hard to believe images from Alexander McQueen''s Target line are already out, but they are. Well, two of them anyway.
The first image doesn''t do much for me, but the second one. . .Well, I quite like it.
And the rest of the collection, as described by WWD, sounds promising:
"The collection has a muted color palette of black, white, gray and tan with accents of cobalt blue and bright pink. Studs and mesh give items an edge. There are studded jeans, shorts and denim jackets with asymmetrical closures, short tuxedo jackets and matching shorts, dresses in a blue and white painterly fabric, a one-shoulder dress in a gray-and-black zigzag pattern with a thick black belt, and a T-shirt with the image of Moss. ''The manufacturing is well finished and second to none in that price point,'' McQueen said of the collection. ''It’s not expensive at all, but you get the execution of a well-designed collection. Because of the use of materials and the feeling, [Target] knew where the collection would go.'' The designer’s favorite pieces in the line include ''the pink and black pieces and the little prom dresses.''"
Excited yet? I know I am!

New York Fashion Week Attracts Celebrities
Fashion shows are very popular with celebrities and sometimes the outfits they wear overshadow the new styles being displayed.
There are plenty of celebrities in New York City, so it's no surprise that they made their presence felt at the recent New York Fashion Week Show, and Lindsay Lohan and her partner, Samantha Ronson.
Doesn't Ronson look somewhat like a young Winona Ryder?
Here's the story and photos of celebrity attendees such as Jessica Alba in her first post child bearing photos.

Celebrity Popularity Rankings
You have your favorite celebrity or celebrities; in fact most people have at least one celebrity that they regard as a favorite.
But just how popular, overall, are your favorites, when compared to other celebrity favorites?
I found an excellent website that has up to the minute celebrity popularity rankings, and, it also shows each celebrity's current trend, that is, is he or she going up or down in popularity
I think you're in for some surprises. For example, Angelina is not number 1, Dave Matthews is, and, Miley Cyrus went down a bit.
Check out this website and find out how popular your favorite celebrities are, and if they're going up or down.

Celebrity Bombshells
The word "bombshell" isn't used very often these days but it was very popular years ago when women like Marilyn Monroe were considered modern sex symbols.
It's kind of funny to me, a long term observer of women, for scientific purposes only, to compare what constituted the "sexy" or "hot" women of my youth, to today's brazen hussies.
Years ago a "sex symbol" dressed in a semi-revealing way and acted seductively. Now women who want the world to know that they are sexy advertise the fact by wearing next to nothing and unashamedly reciting a list of their sexual preferences. The line between sexy and slutty has been blurred; much to the delight of the male of the species.
But the notion of a "Bombshell" still persists and actually denotes a particular style of sexy woman.
Typically a, "bombshell", was a, "blonde bombshell", of the platinum blonde variety who sported a full-figured body, a la today's Scarlett Johansson.
The idea was that an exploding bomb usually got one's attention.
Now, however, even brunettes can be considered bombshells, such as Halle Berry, and the voluptuous figure of the past has largely been replaced by the slim, athletic look of a Jessica Alba
Here's a look at who MSN's fashion peeps consider to be
today's bombshells.
By the way, I still don't like those so called, "sophisticated", pulled back hair styles such as the one Scarlett Johansson is sporting in the first picture.

Angelina Jolie Names Daughter After Her Mother
By now everyone who follows the celebrity world knows that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins, a boy Knox Leon, and a girl Vivienne Marcheline.
But most people don't know why Angelina, who uses her middle name, Jolie, as her last name, named her daughter Vivienne Marcheline.
Marcheline is Angelina's late mother, Marcheline Bertrand's name.
As for Jolie and Pitt's son, Knox Leon, rumor has it that it is a combination of the middle name of Pitt's grandfather, Knox, and Jolie's great-great grandfather's name, Leon.
The birth, in Nice, France created quite a stir and the town's mayor made Jolie and Pitt honorary citizens.

Here's the press release for the free Bon Jovi concert.

Selma Blair In A Jumpsuit And Short Hair
OK, this may not be the most scintillating headline or topic, but I think you'll find the posting leads to something worthwhile.
Selma Blair hasn't been in the news much lately even though she's been pretty busy in both TV and the movies, so let's pick on her today.
Ever since Selma turned my crank as the inexperienced prude turned wanton seductress in "Cruel Intentions", I've kept her in the back of my mind. Now that "Hellboy II" is coming out on July 11, she is back in the forefront.
Blair is known as an actress who experiments with somewhat bizarre style statements from time to time, such as a partially shaved head, which at least looked better than the short blonde haired Selma, IMHO.
Here she is with a blonde wig and other accessories:
Now, we have a kind of a throwback look to her in a jumpsuit and short, blunt cut hair.
You have to check out this article, but more so the wide array of reader comments that follow the photos of Selma Blair.

Celebrity Power
"Forbes" magazine is all about money and the people who have and control it.
So, "Forbes" keeps track of anything and anyone connected to the big bucks and there are plenty of those in the celebrity world.
Money translates into power and that's what money, at the highest level, is all about, power. When you have money you have power, and power gets you more money, so it just keeps going on and on, for some.
I guess this phenomenon is what gave rise to the expression, "The rich get richer".
Anyway "Forbes" has compiled a list of the world's most powerful celebrities.
