This is celebrity favoritism at its finest!    

The airways have been pretty hectic lately.  When “Joe Schmo” loses his luggage he may face days of wearing the same outfit if he landed away from home, annoying phone calls to the airline’s customer service, lost ”valuables” like priceless items he will never get back & weeks or sometimes months waiting for his full settlement.  Kate Moss, however, will most likely receive $10,000 up front for her “troubles” after she lost her luggage on a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles.  All if her lugagge has been found, but she still gets paid the up front settlement?  About 28,000 pieces of luggage were said to be lost with her flight.

It seemed like this year’s Academy Awards was more appreciated due to the word that it may not go on because of the writer’s strike. Even though the weather was not favorable, the women of Hollywood still looked stunning as usual. Well….almost all of them. Here are some of my favorite ladies in their gowns last night:

Amy Adams looked beautiful in her emerald colored gown that complimented here beautiful red hair. I love her interesting & unique gold purse! It has a cool shape & is very vintage looking.

Laura Linney wore a lovely black classic dress, but what made the outfit was her beautiful jewelry.

Keri Russell always looks put together even with her wild curly hair, which was pulled back nicely so we could pay attention to her stunning gown.

Jessica Alba wore an eggplant colored dress which was loose fitting in the middle to leave room for her baby bump.

Diablo Cody looked unique in her leopard patterned gown. I like that she didn’t try to conform & wear a typical gown. That just isn’t her. She makes it work & was glowing on the red carpet.

Marion Cotillard is no doubt gorgeous. I loved the top of her dress, but while looking at the entire dress I just kept thinking of “The Little Mermaid.” It looked more like a costume than a formal gown.

Cameron Diaz’s dress was gorgeous, but her hair didn’t compliment the style of her dress. Her hair style looked like she was taking a trip to the beach rather than an awards show.

Katherine Heigl looked stunning as always. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her looking sub-par.

Ellen Page actually looked like her character Juno attended the Academy Awards mainly because of her her hair style, but she looked cute nonetheless. I do wish she would have worn something a bit more sassy.

Miley Cyrus wore a red gown which was very appropriate for her age, but she looked like she was trying to be older & sexy while posing on the red carpet as she puckered her lips to the cameras.

And, here’s a treat for all you ladies…my favorite men from last night looking handsome in their tuxedos:

Patrick Dempsey & George Clooney with their LUCKY ladies. Fine wine…FINE wine.

I don’t always like Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs as a person, but musically & fashion-wise he always comes through. Johnny Depp always looked sexy & mysterious.

Jason Bateman & Steve Carell are two of my favorite men. They looked great.

Oh..and all their ladies looked nice too.

While I will admit that I’ve gotten a certain amount of sick pleasure from watching The Hills, I must say that I don’t understand the lingering “fame” of its “stars.” I really don’t get why anyone would buy Lauren Conrad’s clothing, and the same goes for Heidi Montag’s upcoming line for Anchor Blue.

I haven’t been into Anchor Blue since it was called Miller’s Outpost, but what I see in the display window doesn’t ever thrill me. I guess everyone else feels the same way because the company is so desperate that it’s looking to Montag to help revamp its lackluster image. (Wait, what part of her resume qualifies her for this?) However ill-conceived, Anchor Blue’s plan is to target a new demographic, shifting it’s focus from the 14-18 year-old market to the 16-21 year old market with Montag in tow.

The collection, dubbed Heidiwood and set for release in Spring, will include apparel and accessories. Two more lines will follow.

Wow! I actually sat through the entire Grammy Award ceremony last night. That hasn’t happened since I was a New Kid fan–you know, when I would watch every last second to make sure I didn’t miss even one glimpse of Donnie or Jordan. But last night was fun! Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, Tina Turner, and Cindy Lauper! It was like Christmas.

Now, for the fashion. Let’s just say there were a few hits and misses:

MISS: I hate to be mean to Nelly Furtado because I’ve always liked her music (even her second album…well, sort of), but this dress tests the limits of my affection. It’s time for some tough love. What was her stylist thinking? It’s a pretty color, but didn’t anyone take her body type into consideration when choosing a gown for the biggest night in music? And you know that she’s not comfortable in this thing either–hands on thighs are always a dead giveaway for “I’m afraid this dress in unflattering.” Oh Nelly, they did you wrong!

EH: I can’t decide if this is a hit or miss exactly. It’s definitely flattering, which isn’t usually a problem for Beyonce. I just wish this woman would wear something other than metallics, like maybe a color. Although I don’t know if powder blue chiffon is the answer. The top looks like it’s melting.

Hit: I like it. Florals are in, and this halter dress works well on Carrie Underwood. It’s kind of perfect for Carrie’s sexy-girl-with-a-weentzy-bit-of-bad-girl image.

Minus the shoes, this is a Hit. I love a short dress for the Grammys. Gowns are okay, but an interesting little dress is better. I like this color on Corinne Bailey Rae, but the shoes look more career than biggest music event of the year.

Miss: I love the color on Fergie, but I”m nervous about what’s going on atop. It’s also pretty boring–it looks like a banana peel, which is an obvious if unfortunate risk when you wear a yellow sheath dress.

Hit: I accept that I’m probably alone in this, but I liked Fantasia’s Grammy look. The dress is super flattering and edgy. The hair? I don’t know, it just works for me…maybe she’s the new Patty Labelle of R&B. At least stylewise.

WWD. com reports that Patrick Dempsey is the new face and body of Versace’s Spring 08 ad campaign. This latest gig comes on the heels of his being named the runner-up in People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” list.

Personally, I don’t understand the allure of the Dempsey.  In truth, he’ll always just be Ronald Miller to me.

Mango can’t get enough of Penelope Cruz, but who can? Seemingly pleased with last season’s results, the Spanish-based fast fashion company has tapped their compatriot for yet another season of glamorous ads.  The campaign goes public in February and will feature Mango’s spring line. It’s already been shot in London by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the guys behind the Scarlett Johansson Louis Vuitton ads and countless other dazzling projects.

The British Fashion Awards came and went last night with Stella McCartney beating out Luella Barton and Anya Hindmarch for Designer of the Year. However, Ms. “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” didn’t go home empty handed, scoring the Designer Brand of the Year honors, while Christopher Kane was named New Designer of the Year.

Grand Dame of Punk, Vivienne Westwood, further cemented her icon status with the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design award.

Not too surprising was Agyness Deyn being named Model of the Year–that’s a pretty good way to end a rather momentous year of undisputed “it girl” status in the fashion world. Deyn edged out Lily Cole and Irina Lazareanu (Pete Doherty’s gal pal) for the win.

Lily Allen was there, too, looking bright eyed and bushy tailed in this awful dress. Good color, bad everything else. Ah, but she still looks so cute! I am a bona fide sucker for Lily, I admit it.

Dita Von Teese and Kelly Osbourne also showed up, both in Grecian-themed dresses. Results varied.

Metallics just won’t quit–they’ve been the award show staple for so long now, and they were still going strong as of last night’s American Music Awards. Lots of ladies did gold or silver for the show, and some even added jewels to the mix. Looks itchy.

As usual, Rihanna wins. Oh, and equally as usual, Beyonce went the extra mile and glittered her bosom.

The 11th Annual ACE awards took place Monday with Marc Jacobs taking home the “Designer of the Year” Award. The honor is particularly interesting due to Jacobs’ recent string of rebellious acts, including starting his spring show two hours late, sticking his tongue out a fashion critic Suzy Menkes (who, along with others, panned his spring collection) on his Paris runway and, of course, dying his hair with Punky Colour. Nonetheless, despite such debacles, which many are chalking up to a mid-life crisis, Jacobs and his coveted handbags received a well earned award for excellence in accessories.

Other winners include Mandy Moore, who was given “Fashion Innovator” honors and Heidi Klum, named a “Fashion Influencer.” Tory Burch got the “Accessories Brand Launch” award, which makes perfect sense considering the pandemonium her bags and doodads have caused as of late. On the flipside of the launch award was the “Lifetime Achievement” award, which was presented to Valentino, who didn’t show but sent Helena Christensen and Lucy Lui in his place and couture gowns.

Just because they’re celebrities doesn’t mean they have good Halloween Costume ideas. In fact, these are some of the worst I’ve seen. Really, the whole over-the-top-sexy costume is so tired and especially on celebs (that means you, Dennis Rodman). Hello! Don’t they get enough attention already?

I present to you this year’s Icky Halloween Costume Hall of Shame:

Britney Spears goes as a”sexy” wench.

Aubrey O’Day goes as a “sexy” football player in clear heels.

Averil Levigne goes as a…..?

Paris Hilton goes as a “sexy” Alice in Wonderland, which seems a tad inappropriate considering Alice is suppose to be a child! Leave it to Paris.

Dennis Rodman as a poorly dressed woman.
