Celebrity Gossips


OMG! She did that? I can’t believe it!! Here are some of our reactions when we hear gossips. And when it comes to celebs, this is how we really react. Let’s focus on some of this week’s famous celebrity dishes. And, we had prepared a menu of these dishes, and we are serving it now. These are the stories I’ve heard from E! News.

Rihanna: "Remaining Strong and Doing Well"

Rihanna, the Barbadian songbird is lying low in Los Angeles and staying strong. She just recently celebrated her birthday last Feb. 20.
Her camp finally broke radio silence and issued a statement to fans.
"At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown," her publicist says in a statement.
"She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time." It's the first statement since her rep said Rihanna was "well" in the hours following her alleged altercation with Brown on Feb. 8.
After a trip to Barbados to be with her family and friends, Rihanna surfaced last night, photographed in the L.A. area for the first time since the purported roadside blowup.
In the pics, she is wearing sunglasses and sitting in the back seat of a car. Two unidentified men, a driver and passenger, are in the front seat and another woman is sitting behind the "Umbrella" singer.
Rihanna's record label canceled plans to throw her a birthday party in NYC. The soiree for about 200 guests was to have had a carnival theme with various "sideshow" attractions. The deal wasn't finalized, but it was probably going to happen at Gotham Hall.

Lindsay & Sam Still On at Masquerade Bash


Despite yet more rumors of a rift between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, the couple stepped out together last night.
The occasion? Teen Vogue editor Carlos Lopez' masquerade birthday party at Guy's nightclub. Sam was spinning, while Linds was just along for the ride.
Less successful at squashing breakup rumors was Hayden Panettiere, who arrived with an unknown guy in tow—not on-off boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia.
Paps told Kim Kardashian outside the party that her feathered mask was better than Paris Hilton's. Mischa Barton also went to the event.
One conspicuously absent celeb? Nicole Richie, who opted to skip her friend's bash for Fashion Week in New York City.

Hugh Jackman is the Host of the Oscars

The Sexiest Man Alive will host the Oscars. He is a serious type of person (I think) because he is not a comedian, unlike the other previous hosts.
While Jackman is clearly finding his own low-key groove as a TV comedian, his son Oscar is apparently eyeing a career in journalism, as the lad suggested a headline to his dad for the big night: "Oscar's dad hosts the Oscars."
Giuliana Rancic interviewed Hugh Jackman.

Project Runway 101




This is Project Runway

“One day you’re in, and the next day you’re out”. “Auf Wiedersehen”. Wondering where these lines were heard and spoken?? These are some of the lines we hear from the original Bravo reality show, and this is Project Runway. Project Runway started in 2004, and the show takes place at Parsons New School of Design in New York City. This show is looking for the next big name in Fashion. They are having auditions in different parts of America, in which every participant should bring their 3 strongest looks in which they will be judged. And after the auditions, they will choose around 14 to 16 designers in which they will be part of the show.

Every week, they are given challenges in which it determines their skill, art and how creative they are. They are also given a short period of time (I really mean it) to shop for fabrics and to complete their designs. There will be a winner for every challenge, and sad to say, one will also be out in the competition, until 3 will remain to show their collection in Bryant Park and will be given the chance to show their collection in New York Fashion Week, a $100,000 to start their own line, furnished by Tresemme, a chance to sell their line on Bluefly.com, and a new edition of an Astra car. Wow!! The prizes are so enough to start a line. And now, let’s meet the people in PR. Let’s start in introducing the host. She is a Victoria’s Secret angel, a German model, and also the hostess of Germany’s Next Top Model. She is Ms. Heidi Klum. Next on the list is the mentor of the designers and he also might be the tormentor (according to others.).He is Tim Gunn. The 2 judges for the competition are the tough American designer Michael Corrs, and the editor at large for ELLE magazine, Nina Garcia. Now that we’ve introduced the people in PR, of course, let’s now meet the designers. Because PR has 5 seasons already, we’ll just share to you the winners of the different seasons. Here are they: Jay McCarroll (Season 1), Chloe Dao (Season 2), Jeffrey Sebelia (Season 3), Christian Siriano (Season 4) and last but not the least is the latest winner, Leanne Marshall (Season 5). These people showed their collections, and because of PR their dreams came true. Project Runway is really a chance of a lifetime for aspiring designers. To know more about the designers of every season just type Project Runway in Wikipedia, and choose which season.

Me and Tap2x have our own favorite designers, and here are our favorites:

Now, let's see what is the inspiration of Christian's and Leanne's collection.

Christian's collection was comprised of Musketeer-inspired couture, featuring ruffles, feathers and headwear (the brown dress with ruffles in the picture). Leanne's collection is inspired by these wave patterns (the green dress.).

These are the things we do know about Project Runway. Thanks for reading and Auf Wiedersehen, this means goodbye in Germany. Bye!!
