Alexander McQueen Found Dead in Apparent Suicide

February 11, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

This is one of those stories that make you drop your coffee and yell “WHAT?” Alexander McQueen, who went by the name Lee, was a forty year old man and a supernova in the fashion world after climbing the ranks in just 3 years of being a full-fledged fashion house.

His mother, Joyce, passed away last week and it took a terrible toll on the fashion mogul. McQueen was due to unveil his latest creation at Paris Fashion Week in just a few weeks. He was found dead in his Mayfair home. It is said that he hanged himself.

Via Daily Mail:

‘On behalf of Lee McQueen’s family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home. At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee’s family. Lee’s family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this.’

Despite his mother’s death, he seemed to be slowly recovering. Hints from his Twitter suggest he was trying to forge on.

On February 3rd, he wrote: ‘I’m letting my followers know the my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx…
Moments later, he added: ‘But life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Then on Sunday, he said: ‘Sunday evening been a ****ing awful week but my friends have been great but now i have to some how pull myself together and finish with the HELLS ANGLES & PROLIFIC DEAMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
He appeared to have recovered slightly by this week. His final message, posted on Tuesday, said: ‘I’m here with my girl annie tinkerbell wishing kerry the ****,happy birthday in NY, your 40 now girl time to slow it down we think.’

How terribly sad. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to his family and friends.

Russell Brand ‘In Love’ with Katy Perry

October 8, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

So after reportedly hooking up last month after the 2009 VMAs, it seems that Katy Perry and Russell Brand can’t enough of each other, so much so that he followed Ms. Perry to Paris. The notorious womanizer aka Russell Brand, must have some magical powers we do not know about because that is the only way I can see these two together.

They have even become more open with this soon-to-be train wreck they call a relationship-being seen out strolling around Paris holding hands. They were even spotted sitting on the front row of John Galliano’s catwalk show at Paris Fashion Week where Katy was seen placing her hand on his knee.

Now before anyone thinks I bash every celebrity, I only call this a train wreck because he seems to be an attention grabbing whore-pulling any stunt to get camera time- and she too likes the spotlight. I can only guess that after the lust wears off, they will use this relationship as a publicity stunt by posing for the camera every chance they get, followed by a break-up of screaming and fighting, then passionate make-up sex; which the only thing I see keeping them together right now…the sex not the passion.

To prove my point Per Daily Mail:

“Brand has been quoted as saying that he is “in love” with Perry.”

Do not be surprised if she starts dedicating the song “Ur So Gay” or “Mannequin” to him and be prepared for a big ‘I Told You So’.

Lindsay Lohan’s Paris Fashion Week Debut Labeled an Embarrassment – Photos

October 5, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Lindsay Lohan made her whore-in-training-wear debut at Paris Fashion Week looking like the ghost of Tammy Faye Baker exploded on her face. She was given the role of “artistic director” at Emanuel Ungaro. After seeing her work walk the runway, I am wondering what is so artistic about discount 1980’s stripper outfits from the Fuzzy Peach Boutique. Most of the outfits appeared to be half finished. Lohan’s answer to complete the looks was PASTIES! Lots and lots of sparkly pasties!

Fashion critics from WWD are also not impressed. The show was labeled an “embarrassment” and this could be the kiss of death from Ungaro. Paris Fashion Week is like the Oscars of fashion. If you fail to at least get a ho-hum, you might as well pack your bags and prepare to be damned to Wal-Mart.

“As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated, as has often been the case during chez Ungaro’s post-Emanuel revolving door of designers. Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and ‘creative directed’ by another.

Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies? For Lohan, she’ll weather the criticism, hardly her first or her juiciest, and move on when her contract allows. But Archs has her work cut out for her. Backstage after the show, she said the collection ‘had to be designed very quickly.’ Perhaps that was the problem. This storied house has been in disarray for years, and though Archs’ debut provided no indication that she’s up to the challenge, she should be given the chance to find out without a younger, non-skilled judge with theoretical veto power hovering about.”

They had to have seen this coming? Lindsay would have done a better job of guarding the blow and jewelry. Of course she was going to crank out a line of costumes worthy of the musical version of “Hooking: A 1983 Love Story.”
