BING BANG BOOM SAY HELLO TO LIYA KEBEDE

Most of you might know her, but for those who don't here is a short bio on this incredible model. She's a 30 year old stunner who was born and raised in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. She was discovered by a French modelling agent while attending Lycee Guebre Mariam. After finishing school she moved to France to pursue modelling. Her big brake came when in 2000 she asked by Tom Ford to sign an exclusive contract for his Gucci Fall/Winter 2000 fashion show. She's graced the cover of Vogue multiple times as well as V, Flair, I-D and has been in campaigns for Gap, YSL, Victoria's secret, Dolce & Gabbana and countless others.

PALAZZO HOTEL AND CASINO GRAND OPENING

Mandy Moore / Claire Danes

I love Mandy Moore, she's a bit boring, but at least she looks like a real woman. I'm totally digging her shoes, they give her outfit more edge. Claire Claire Claire, I never liked her, I thought she was terrible in Romeo and Juliet! Homegirl can't act.

Christina Ricci / Nicolette Sheridan

Noooooooooooooooooooo Nicolette did you get dressed in the dark? She looks like and old version of 80s Madonna here. She use to dress okay... I don't see how anyone in there right mind could think that outfit is appropriate. I'm going to rip those earrings right off!

Angie Harmon / Hilary Swank / Rebecca Romijn

Hilary, not so matchy matchy next time okay? She really should have worn a dark shoe. Rebecca Polka dots are out! I don't know who Angie Harmon is, but I think her outfit is great.

FOR THE AUSSIES: G'DAY AUSTRALIA PARTY

Oh I miss my second home, I'm still wondering if this whole moving back to Canada was a mistake or not ha. Both places have their perks and their downsides I'm just trying to figure out which one is more bearable then the other. I know I sound lame, but it's a complicated situation. Onto fashion...

Bindi & Terri Irwin

Terri, I know where all still mourning the loss of Steve, but is it necessary to dress up like an 80s barbie? I always thought Terri was beautiful and that all she needed to do was try, but this isn't what I meant. Her face and hair are an improvement, but the rest is just trashy! Are we in south beach? Cover those boobs up, your with your daughter! Bindi is the cutest thing, but black patent shoes would have gone better with that dress.

Kylie Minogue / John Travolta & Oliva Newton John

Kylie did you have an accident at Mood? ugh. I actually really love Olivia's look here. The coat the dress the makeup, perfect! Why does John Travolta always have to flirt with everybody? That hair piece is just scary.

RANDOMS

ASHLEE SIMPSON

Am I the only one in the world who likes this girl? I don't see why everyone hates on her so much. I love her first album, it's gotten me through the toughest times I still listen to it often.

HEIDI AND HER NEW FACE

She's actually wearing something cute for once, but she's mistaken if she thinks it's going to distract me from her face. I was almost weeping the other day for this girl, it's just sad that she's that broken inside that she has to wreck herself. You can tell she's a 'good' person. She's just been so manipulated by Spencer.

ERYKAH AND HAIR

I actually think she looks really cute, if anybody can work that fro it's her.

Mahalo fashion,
Jen
