Kate Lanphear to Leave ‘Elle’
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: News, Rumors,
After spending six years at Elle - four of which she held the coveted Style Director title - Kate Lanphear is parting ways with the magazine.
"Kate is an extraordinary talent and we thank her for her many contributions during her six years at ELLE. We wish her the best of luck in her next chapter," a spokesperson for the magazine said.
There's no word yet as to where Lanphear will be headed next, although she is rumored to have been called in for an interview at The Wall Street Journal. Then again, a humorous Twitter post from Debbie Needleman perhaps suggests that Lanphear may be headed over to join her at T.
Which editorial chair do you think Lanphear will end up?

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
Fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière has announced that he will be leaving his post as creative director of Balenciaga.
The news comes as a shock to many, as there was almost no word previously that the French designer was planning to part ways with the fashion house he's headed for fifteen years. Fashion critic Cathy Horyn, however, has a theory that Ghesquière's departure may have something to do with Yves Saint Laurent's new creative director Hedi Slimane.
An official statement from the company stated that the decision was made jointly by Ghesquière and PPR, the group which owns Balenciaga. There was no additional information offered from the company.
Ghesquière's work at the Paris label has received numerous praises, attracting celebrity fans like Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Connelly.

Among the dozens of rumors circulating the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt wedding, the most talked about one at the moment claims that L'Wren Scott has been tapped to design the A-list actress' wedding gown.
"[Angelina]'s been courted by some of the hottest designers on the planet, but having a big name isn't important to her... Of all the people she’s met with she feels L’Wren is the one that understands her body the most," a source said.
The rumor isn't so far-fetched, considering Angelina, 37, has worn some of Scott's creations on the red carpet.
"Angelina wanted someone who is not so obvious for designing wedding gowns. L’Wren is famed for designing clothes to suit taller, thin women like herself," the source added.
On top of that, fittings would be quite easy considering L'Wren lives in the house next to the one Angelina and Brad purchased in Surrey earlier this year!

Victoria Beckham Planning New York Move?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors,
Victoria and David Beckham are reportedly planning to move to New York City.
The couple are currently settled in Los Angeles with their children - Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, seven-year-old Cruz, and 15-month-old daughter Harper - but are considering relocating to the Big Apple so Victoria can concentrate on her fashion line.
"Everything is up for discussion at the moment. David may well choose to stay at his team LA Galaxy, or he may leave and retire from football. There are big conversations to be had. Victoria is keen to move to New York to set up her business there and open her first store. She looked at a school while she was there. There are also business opportunities for David, too," a source told Grazia.
Victoria and David are also considering a move to London, but worry that uprooting their children across the Atlantic might be too dramatic and would spell the end of David's soccer career.

Lady Gaga Won’t Hide Weight Gain

Lady Gaga has "no intention" of hiding her weight gain.
The "Marry The Night" hitmaker recently revealed she had gained 25 pounds after over-eating at her father's New York restaurant, and while she has come under criticism, she is refusing to cover-up.
"She has no intention of going on a diet or hiding under baggy clothes until she loses some weight. That just isn't her style. She tells her fans to love themselves and that is something that she doesn't just preach," a source told The Huffington Post.
However, she also believes some of the gain has been in muscle after dancing on stage on her Born This Way world tour. "She has said before that when she's on tour she gets muscular. If you look at pictures from the start and the end of her tours you can see that. It's not a look she says she really likes, but after working out onstage like she does, it happens naturally. There is nothing she can do about it," the source added.

Jessica Simpson is hurt by cruel taunts about her weight.
The Fashion Star mentor has been paid four million dollars by Weight Watchers to lose the weight she put on after giving birth to her first child Maxwell in May and promote their brand and although she has dropped 40lbs in four months, her cruel detractors have hit out at her for not losing the remaining 40 already.
"For years, Jessica has been OK with her body and everyone loved her for that. But now she's not feeling the love and she doesn't like it. She's trying to conceal her hurt feelings with humor right now. She uses jokes and goofiness to hide the fact that she's really sensitive," a source said.
Jessica unveiled her weight loss on TV last week and pals say she worked incredibly hard since giving birth to lose the extra weight. "The past few weeks were really difficult because the pressure was enormous. She knew everyone would be judging her. She was proud of her progress so to face all these cruel taunts now, it stings," the source added to In Touch.
Lady Gaga Goes on a Gluten-Free Diet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors,
Lady Gaga has switched to a gluten-free diet.
The "Bad Romance" singer has started the next leg of her huge Born This Way Ball tour in Sofia, Bulgaria, and she has opted to go on a new diet to make sure she is in the best shape for the grueling workout.
"Gaga has decided to go on a major body blitz and cut out all gluten and wheat from her diet, which is very hard to do. She has given her people strict instruction to advise staff at venues and restaurants about her new diet because she is taking it very seriously. Her aim is to drop 10lb in a month," a source said.
The 26-year-old singer is thought to be rationing her carbohydrate intake to just two portions a week, and living off a diet mainly consisting of fish, chicken and vegetables. "She allows herself one potato or rice portion a week and has been snacking on Ginnybake cakes from wholefood shops - they are gluten free cookies," the source added.

The actress is in talks to become the new face of the brand, which sells natural-based skin and haircare products. "Jennifer would be great for the brand because she appears to be very natural. The deal, still being negotiated, would be worth a lot of money, certainly eight figures," a source told The New York Post.
The current face of Aveeno's is Dutch-born model-and-actress Daniella van Graas, who has appeared in Maid in Manhattan and adverts for L'Oreal, Max Factor, Maybelline, Pantene, Pepsi.
Meanwhile Jennifer, 43, has starred in campaigns for SmartWater, L'Oreal, drinks brand Heineken and banking firm Barclays.
This week the secret to the former Friends star's svelte figure as she approaches her mid-forties was claimed to be a "Wonder" smoothie, which is the only thing she drinks on one day a week. "The drink is made up of fresh, organic vegetables. Beetroot, cucumbers, spinach, garlic, carrots, celery and kale," the source said.
Lana Del Rey to Become Face of H&M
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
The "Video Games" singer - who already has a Mulberry bag named after her - is said to be in the middle of shooting a campaign for the Swedish high street store, with the ads being revealed later this year.
"She's shooting an H&M campaign in New York," a source said.
Earlier this year, luxury label Mulberry created a bag in her honor and she admits it was a dream come true: "I love the design, it's a perfect mix between old school Hollywood and contemporary style. It's an honor that such a classic and prestigious brand would name a bag after me."
"We wanted to design a gorgeous bag that reflected Lana Del Rey's style and beauty so we thought the bag should be simple and structured yet relevant for now and recognisable instantly as a classic Mulberry piece. We wanted it to be functional with an uptown twist as Lana is such a wonderful uptown girl herself; its shape implies structure yet it has gorgeous squidgeablity!" Mulberry creative director Emma Hill added.
