Victoria Beckham arrived for her very first day on American Idol this weekend. The star showed up to help judge auditions in Denver Friday and smiled and shook hands with fans on the way in.

The Daily News reported that the former Spice Girl, who’s getting a reported $219,000 for appearing in one episode, said that she’s looking forward to a “bit of banter” with Simon Cowell, since he’s the “only man in the industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said that they would never work.”

Seems like Victoria plans to fill Paula Abdul’s shoes as the sweet judge. She said of the former Idol judge, “I hope she does something that’s bigger and better, and I hope she’s going to be happy. She’s great so she’s going to be good at whatever she does.”

Looks like she’s already making up for her hubby’s recent streak of bad publicity.

Defying all odds, Mischa Barton who has been released from psychiatric ward has been hard at work on the set of her new show, The Beautiful Life, despite her breakdown just weeks ago.

The 23-year-old actress was spotted on location at New York City Hall today, looking healthy and vibrant in a fabulous metallic Versace Spring 2009 minidress and a pair of studded, buckled boots.

Hopefully the work will keep Mischa focused on her career and her health. It definitely doesn’t help that her supposed “friends” have been claiming to outlets who will listen that the actress is “on the verge of another breakdown.”

Meanwhile, family friend Eric Ziegenbein told Heat Magazine that the actress was already back to her partying ways.

Will Lady Gaga be the next celebrity to strip down for PETA? According to Page Six, the pop star caught the eye of the animal rights organization when she wore an entire outfit made of Kermit the Frogs, explaining to Ryan Seacrest:

“I really loved this one . . . because I thought it was a commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.”

A PETA representative already reached out and is waiting for an answer. If she decides to do it, she’ll join the range of stars like Pamela Anderson, Eva Mendes, Pink and Chloe Kardashian who have bared all for the animals, of course.

In reality, her birthday suit may be the least bizarre ensemble we’ve seen Lady Gaga decked out in.

The reality star known for her deep brunette locks went blonde over the weekend and showed off lighter locks as she walked the red carpet at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards held at Gibson Amphitheatre on August 9, 2009 in Universal City, California.

Last week, Allure magazine introduced a new word into the lexicon: the break-over. Apparently this term describes the new look a woman sports shortly after a breakup. Perhaps it was Kim Kardashian’s recent breakup with NFL star Reggie Bush that inspired her to dye her hair a soft, slightly-brassy blonde. Kim, who wore a blonde wig for a recent photoshoot, took to her blog to write about the new do:

“This time it’s for real, guys! I went blonde!!! I had been considering it ever since I wore that blonde wig, and I just decided to go for it!! What do you think? I am really loving it! My hairstylist Clyde Haygood orchestrated the whole thing and Rebecca from Goodform salon dyed it!”

No one has perfected better the sultry brunette image than Kim, obviously she still looks gorgeous, but if you think about it she completely looses her personality with the new hair color. She will eventually return to her roots..

Megan Fox is pulling out all her sexiest looks for the Transformers 2 promotional tour. She attended the Berlin premiere in a sexy red Roberto Cavalli dress that plunged to there, was slit up to here, and featured an ample showing of waist, too.

Back in February, Transformers star Megan Fox broke off her engagement to longtime boyfriend Brian Austin Green, much to the delight of fans everywhere. Their joy, however, was short-lived, as it seemed that Fox and Green couldn’t really quit each other.When asked about her love life at a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press conference in Berlin, she said, “I’m currently what you would call single, I guess.”

She joked that she’d like to move on to a Korean pop star, saying, “There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain and I’m really on his situation now. I’m trying to fix this up. I’m working hard.”

How many times have you searched frantically through your handbag to find your cell phone, while that very important call was coming in, only to have it stop ringing before it was found? Worse yet, how about the number of times you literally emptied your bag and swore it was not in there, then spent the next two hours combing your house to find your cell. Finally, you called it – and it rang, audibly, from inside your purse! If this describes any situation you have found yourself in, you desperately need to organize your handbag better.

Of course, some handbags come manufactured with organizers already built in. There are pockets for your cell phone, a zippered pouch that most people keep loose items in such as keys, and even a ring or two that hangs from the outside from which you could loop your keys or anything you may need that has a strap. If you are one of the few women who use these pockets for the purposes for which they were intended, good for you! Most of us, however, throw everything willy-nilly into the open space that is our purse and, for better or worse, there it sits collecting other items on top of it until it is all one big jumbled mess for us to sort through later.

Now that we have painted a bleak picture of the inside of your handbag, what suggestions can be offered to help us fix this mess? For starters, set aside a block of time where you can truly clean out and de-clutter your handbag. If you do this, you will likely find old coupons, pens that no longer work, and cosmetics that have either expired or, worse yet, lost their caps and are now making unwanted marks all along the inside of your nicely lined bag. Throw all of these items away and start anew! Once you sort out what you wish to keep and what can be removed as trash, you can then begin to actually organize.

Generally, your handbag will have a divider or two. If it does not, it will have one main compartment and then a small, zippered compartment on one side of the inside lining. This type of handbag can benefit from a smaller inside bag, like a transfer bag, which fits beautifully inside the ‘outer shell’ that is your lovely handbag and can be used to carry all of your personal belongings from one bag to the other. The beauty of this type of bag is that it does the organizing for you, and has ready-made pockets for things like your phone and checkbook. There may even be a place for your cosmetics here. If not, you can use a transfer bag for everything else, and put your cosmetics in the zippered compartment that already exists in the lining of your handbag.

If your bag has at least one, and perhaps two, dividers, you can use these to separate the contents of your handbag into “personal items” and “business items”. For example, one half of your bag would contain your cell phone, business cards, calendar if you carry one, a pen or two, and your checkbook, while the other side would contain cosmetics, aspirin, and perhaps a snack or other small personal item. If you are fortunate enough to have two dividers in your handbag, you can sort your items even further and organize according to personal items, business items, and cosmetics, keeping any cosmetics that could leak, become opened, or spill into a separate section. Perhaps you could find a plastic or vinyl bag small enough to contain your cosmetics alone and fit this into the section of your bag designated for them. Along with makeup, you can keep contact lens cases, nasal spray, eye drops, or anything of the sort that you may need that contains liquid that could ruin the inside of your handbag.

Organization is important in every facet of life, even your handbag. There is no sense having a beautiful handbag if you are going to rummage through it publicly every time you open it in an effort to find what you are looking for. Becoming organized will free up your time in the long run, and you will appear more put-together. Once you appear more put-together, you will feel less frenzied and you will feel more put together! Set aside the time once every couple of weeks to make sure your handbag is still clutter-free and everything is in its designated compartment. It will be worth your while and the minimal time spent doing so.

If you have a transfer bag to use, however, this is best as you can simply carry its contents from one bag to another and not have to worry about re-organizing your bag each week.

The 2009 Cannes Film Festival was a success in more ways than one, and what everyone wore was just as important as the films presented. While some actresses didn’t quite make the grade here, those who did, received more than just passing marks. The ones who dressed well knows what does look good on them.

While finding the perfect shoe to complete your outfit can make you walk the streets as if it were your own runway. With so many styles to choose from, one can see why it’s so hard to find the perfect shoe. For many years, the fashion industry has impressed us with it’s designs, colors, and styles it constantly brings us. Many of the shoe styles have been around for eras because of how classic the shoe remains. We all want to wear the newest shoe design, but does the shoe really fit our styles?

The most important part of shoe is not it’s color or design, it’s how comfortable the shoe is. If your shoe is to tight, you won’t be able to walk by and strut your stuff. Just like if your shoe is too big, people will be able to tell that your shoes are the worse part of your outfit. Yes, the comfort is a big part of picking the perfect shoe. Because if you found the perfect shoe that’s too tight or too loose, then your face will express the discomfort your feeling. Learn to be your own critic and decide for yourself if it’s worth buying this uncomfortable shoe.

Here are some pictures to get inspired by shoes worn by the celebrities to this year’s Cannes Film Festival:-

Fergie shines while she promotes her new album with the Black Eyed Peas, making an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Fergie and crew arrived semi-casual for the event, although their threads definitely attracted stares all on their own! Fergie changed into uber-glam for the main event, donning a green, sparkly Emilio Pucci dress for her time on camera. The dress featured panel cut-outs to show off Fergie’s insanely fit body. Fergie wore the revealing dress with a great pair of strappy metallic sandals.

Wondering what vintage aviators are? The name is self explanatory. These shades were originally used by aviators when they are on duty. Typical of their job, these shades are hardy and designed to keep strong currents and wind out of the wearer’s eyes. The aviator sunglasses are dark colored to give the wearer ample protection from glaring light. Originally, these sunglasses were available with military gear only. These days, of course, aviator sunglasses have become a widely popular fashion statement.

Vintage aviator sunglasses were first made by Ray-Ban in 1932 for pilots. So, don’t be surprised by the typical ‘Ray-Ban’ look of these sunglasses. Their drooping teardrop shape is unique to vintage aviator sunglasses. Indeed, vintage aviator sunglasses have become an iconic fixture of eye wear not only for decades but even for a century!

Vintage aviators were very popular in the 70’s and 80’s and they are back in a big way. Your fashion statement is reflective of your own personality, your whims, your caprices and even your aspirations. Utilizing vintage aviator sunglasses to show off your own style simply indicates the boldness of your perception when it comes to fashion as you choose the undying style of sunglasses that have been a fashion fixture for several decades now and seem to be growing in fashion stature as years and styles go by.

You can make your presence felt with any of the brightly colored summer frames that vintage aviator sunglasses come in, starting from blue, yellow and shallow red to full metallic jacket frames or mirrored glasses.

Thus, making your own fashion statement using vintage aviator sunglasses is a truly imaginative way of showing the world your true colors and personality with a touch of history to boot. For men, donning dark brown colored leather jackets with loose khaki slacks would be a great way to show off with your vintage aviator sunglasses. For women, a trimly tailored trench coat to show off their hidden curves plus scarves around their necks will do well with any color of vintage aviator sunglasses. These kinds of fashion statements will surely draw the attention of men and women on the sidewalks and cafes you pass by.

Vintage aviator sunglasses are not your regular sunglasses and not everyone can carry them off with style. You need the right shade, the perfect clothing and the right accessories if you want to look dashing in them.

Rihanna has been everywhere since her red carpet return! On Thursday, May 7, 2009, the singer attended DKMS’ 3rd Annual Star-Studded Gala which took place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City wearing head to toe Louis Vuitton. Nearly everything about this look, from the poofy-sleeved metallic top to the lace-up boots, is completely fashion-forward. From the way she’s been dressing, it’s as if she is been saving up an arsenal of hardcore fashion for her return to the spotlight.
