+ Just as Christian Louboutins are known for their red heels, Sarah Jessica Parker is setting her own shoe trademark: grosgrain ribbons stitched to the back of the heels. The Sex and the City actress - who made Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo household names - talks freely about the inspiration and production of her own shoe collection (which Blahnik had a hand in designing himself!).

+ Despite being the latest Pantene Pro-V spokesmodel, Gisele Bundchen admits that her hair is constantly brushed by other people in her career that she doesn't even own a hairbrush. So, ladies: brushes are so passé these days.

+ While here at ChicDish we released the previews of Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2014 campaign - which features Elizabeth Olsen, Elle Fanning, and Lupita Nyong'o - the label put out more ads featuring the actresses (as well as some featuring Dark Shadows actress Bella Heathcote). Check them out here!

Billboard Music Awards 2013: the Good, the Bad, and the Sparkly

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

While the Billboard Music Awards are no Met Gala, one would hope that the celebrities would at least aspire to such style for the event. Judging from the various frocks that graced Billboard's blue carpet, however, the musically-inclined celebs failed to put much effort into this awards show. Whether it was the Las Vegas heat or some overextended stylists (between the Met Gala, Cannes, and this, who can blame them?), the fashion at the Billboard Music Awards fell short with a few good looks and way too many shine-inducing materials.

The Good: American Idol judge Nicki Minaj, known for her colorful and over-the-top costumes, scaled back her look by opting for a red number which made her cleavage take center stage and yet still managed to look classy.

Country pop singer Shania Twain showed up in a silver-white Pavoni by Mikael D gown looking like a modern-day Greek goddess.

Hayden Panettiere - who currently stars in the country music television drama Nashville - opted for black like many others in attendance, but her simple, sleek floor-length dress was the best of them all.

Hayden Panettiere Struggles With Weight

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Actress Hayden Panettiere works hard to maintain her size.

The Heroes actress admits her slender size 4 frame is not natural, and she finds it a “nightmare” having to constantly battle with her food cravings.

“Sometimes I give in to my cravings, but if you’re a size 4, you have to watch what you eat most of the time. It’s a nightmare!”

The 20-year-old beauty - who has previously fronted advertising campaigns for skincare brand Neutrogena and clothing chain Candies - admits all her favourite foods contain carbohydrates, so she tries to restrict her intake to prevent herself from gaining more weight: “I’ve got this voice in my head saying, ‘Carbs, carbs, carbs! Pizza and pasta are best!’ and I’m always fighting to turn it off.”

Despite her weight battles, Hayden has previously confessed that she loves to wander around her house in the nude and doesn’t mind if her roommate sees her naked. “She sees me buck-naked all the time. She walks in and I’m like, ‘Look, I’m naked! Naked girl!’ ”
