Take a Stand Against Domestic Violence: Shoe Shopping

It is a great marriage of two very important factors in life…charity and shoe shopping.

From October 1st – 15th, Marshalls, in partnership with its shoppers, will Take a Stand Against Domestic Violence. For every pair of shoes purchased, $1 will be donated (up to $150,000) to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Through shopping the latest in-season, on-trend footwear with us you can help raise funding and awareness for the millions of women living in a cycle of abuse.

Marshalls and TJ Maxx are my personal favorite bargain hunting grounds. Off price shopping can be tricky, but with the company’s superior buying power and promise that all goods are genuine; it is safe shopping. So those Steve Madden pumps that were $90 at your favorite department store (and a trend worn by celebs like Rihanna, Heidi Klum and Mila Kunis) are legit and under $50. (Click HERE to see more fantastic finds from my recent shopping adventure at Marshalls.)

It is a true opportunity to buy those boots you have been eyeing or indulge in the rising platform booties trend knowing that you are helping a very worthy cause. It doesn’t get much better!

To help you shop savvy here are some trends for the fall offerings:

Pumps: A new pair of pumps if a fall fashion necessity. To add a modern twist, choose a style that will make a statement such as patent leather or animal prints. Oxford detailing is also a popular update to this classic piece. Pair pumps with menswear-inspired pieces such as tailored coats and belted jackets to add a feminine touch.

Over-the-knee boots: Polish any look with over-the-knee boots in a neutral tone such as mushroom, taupe or grey. Pair boots with skinny-fit bottoms and tailored jackets with structured shoulders and brass buttons to accomplish fall’s popular utilitarian look.

Flats: Every wardrobe needs a great pair of flats, and this season’s favorites include simple, feminine detailing such as ruffles, pleating and cuffs. These shoe styles pair well with fall’s chunky loose knits in slouchy styles, sweaters with textured, fringe or loopy detailing and military-inspired jackets.

Platform booties: Suede and leather motorcycle boots with buckle details are a favorite this fall. Transition smoothly between seasons with other style favorites like peep-toe booties paired with animal-inspired pieces.

Beatles’ Original Version of Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’?

What a lot of people don’t know is that Lady GaGa’s song ‘Telephone‘ is actually a cover of a song done originally by The Beatles … or is it? The video below is making its rounds all over the net with some people adamant it’s the ‘real thing’ while others are calling it out for what it really is – a fake.

My question is, how are they talking about getting no cell phone service in the club when it’s the 70′s and they didn’t have cell phones back then? I don’t know if whoever made this should be given a Grammy for making this song listenable or should be hung for being delusional enough to think this sounds remotely like the Beatles in any way, shape, or form.

Obviously fake, but great!

Renee Zellweger Wants ‘Hangover 2’ Role, Not Babies

Renee Zellweger is far wiser than I thought. She shares my distaste for children and contrary to reports she wants a baby so bad she dressing up her cats in bibs and feeding them applesauce a la Jennifer Aniston, Renee is more focused on her career and continuing her relationship with Bradley Cooper.

“Renee knows time isn’t on her side as far as getting pregnant is concerned,” a source said. “But she’s desperate to become a mom. She’d love to have a baby with Bradley. Renee has even talked about the possibility of adoption.”

She is too busy trying to score roles in Cooper’s movies. Right now she is attempting to secure a role as a love interest for one of his costars in the Hangover sequel.

Via Showbiz Spy:

“Renee loves the first movie and this just gives her and Brad a reason to hang out together on set. The funny thing is Renee looks like playing a girl the guys meet and one of them has a one-night-stand with her — only it’s not Brad’s character!”

I should really buy stock in the Hollywood beard ring.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart PDA Dinner – Split Rumors Proven False

Pattinson finally shaved!

The subject of whether or not these two are humping on a full time basis exhausted my intrigue a long time ago, but Twihards are still holding a candle. So, for all those fangirls who scream like a soprano banshee on fire at the mere sight of Pattinson running his hand through his unicorn mane…this is for you.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been facing break up rumors since it became obvious they were more than just friends off set. Doesn’t help they were caught kissing at party by camera wielding onlookers. Current rumors are that Robert has a drinking problem and trying to start a music career (click HERE for that) which were followed by reports that Kristen is too jealous and possessive which led to a fictional split and most recently Emma Watson is allegedly out to nab Sparklepants from Kristen (click HERE for that ridiculous allegation). But a dinner the two had at Soho House in West Hollywood Saturday night proved they are still together.

Via E!:

“They were staring at each other throughout dinner and kept stealing quick kisses from one another during the night. Rob’s arm was around her for most of dinner and they kept looking at each other and giggling throughout the evening. They are definitely into each other.”

The dinner was after they had spent some time apart working. Rob was in London while Kristen was working on a film in Arizona called “On the Road.” Being that Soho is the place to be for VIPs, I am guessing this wasn’t supposed to be a show of unity for fellow patrons who happened to E! correspondents (see their Tweets below).

“They were by each other’s sides the entire night,” adds the eyewitness. “After dinner, Rob, Kristen and their friends moved to the patio where the group was smoking and the guys were drinking. Everyone was laughing and having a good time together, but you could tell Rob was doting on Kristen and making sure she was comfortable. They were next to each other everywhere the group went.”

There. They are back to making greasy hipster love. Happy?

Joe Jonas ‘In Love’ with Ashley Greene

A PR match made in press heaven are reportedly taking things to the next level. Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene are growing extremely close. Ashley has even gone as far as to take Eyebrows to meet her parents in Florida. A source-type says that the Jonas Brother is “head over heels” for the Twilight starlet.

Via People:

“[Joe] is head over heels for [Ashley].He thinks she is down-to-earth and absolutely beautiful. He hasn’t been this into a girl in a long time.”

I am still not convinced he isn’t more in love with skinny jeans and peen. Rumors that their entire relationship is fake spread a few weeks ago (click HERE to read that entire report) along with rumors that Joe ditched his purity ring since hooking up with Greene (click HERE for that article).

Britney Spears Neck Tattoos – PHOTOS

Spears was out and about (I’m feeling very Canadian today) while sporting some new ink or possible Lisa Frank hickeys. Nothing starts off a Monday morning like photos of Britney Spears’ neck tattoos. I hope these are the washable kind because it looks like she had a swingers part with Lady Lovely Locks, a couple of Care Bears and a few Fairy Tails. (Please tell me I am not the only old lady who remembers the My Little Pony answer to birds.)

Editors note: Yay! She is wearing a bra!

UPDATE: Yup. They are temporary tattoos. She and her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston were all sporting the fake ink after enjoying some family time.

Heidi Klum QUITS Victoria Secret

Heidi Klum will no longer be strapping on wings made of pink glitter and chiffon. Klum has quit the lingerie label. After 13 years of strutting, “The Body” has walked her last Victoria Secret runway and the 37 year old has ended things on a good note.

Via Page Six:

“All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria’s Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time.”

No word on who will be her replacement Head Angel will be. Currently Miranda Kerr is pregnant with Orlando Bloom’s baby as Doutzen Kroes is also knocked up. My guess is that Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrósio will be stepping into Heidi’s shoes soon.

Rachel Zoe Is Pregnant!

Rachel Zoe, a workaholic stylist who has been in a constant battle with husband Roger Berman for the last two years over whether to have children or not, is now reportedly three months pregnant. This news comes as season three of ‘The Rachel Zoe Project‘ covered the topic of babies and work and whether Rachel could love a child as much as she loves her Chanel. Err, lets hope she can!

Per Ok!:

A source tells OK!, “Rachel never really told anyone close to her that she and her husband Roger were trying for a baby, and because of her ultra-skinny figure and habits as a workaholic it was the last thing on anyone’s mind. Rachel even requests that clients don’t bring their children to fittings at her studio, so there’s never been any real clue that this is something she was longing for,” the source adds. “But now that she’s pregnant, she’s telling people that this is something that she and Roger have wanted for many years and she’s finally at a level of success where she can afford to take some time off.”

The source also suggested that Zoe and Berman are planning to wait until the child’s birth to find out the sex of the baby. Zoe is said to be planning maternity leave from her various businesses after the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony in February and will be back to styling next fall.

Congrats!

Justin Bieber’s ‘U Smile’ Music Video

Justin Bieber’s latest video “U Smile” premiered on Thursday, and Bieber has said the video is about letting fans experience the ultimate fantasy for any hard-core ‘Belieber’: being Justin’s girlfriend.

Twitter:

“so the U SMILE video is almost here…and here is the concept… …every interview every show I get asked would i date a fan….well as a SINGLE guy…yes single…the answer is… …yes…i would date whoever i fell for. and that could be a fan. so the video is that story…”

“…the video is i meet as she is a fan…and i fall for her. i fall 4 her smile…it is the story of me and her..and she represents all of u. so when u watch tonight think that could be us. when u smile i smile. enjoy. hope u like it. #USMILE. that was kinda corny…but honest. haha. it’s cool…it’s cool. im tight. lol”

The clip starts in black and white, until a group of tweens come across their idol and they rush towards him, asking for his signature. Obliging their requests, Bieber then asks one of the girls if they’d like to go on a date with him. Bieber isn’t refused, and the pair go to a run down movie cinema and have fun making each other giggle while playing around. The Biebs attempted to show a side of his that isn’t the partying, attention seeking little spoiled brat some make him out to be, but a regular teenager who just wants to have a private life with a girlfriend of his own age. It’s all kept clean and in P.G.
