In Paris this morning, the late Alexander McQueen made his final fashion debut, where tears turned into the most prevalent accessory.
Fifteen of the fabulous designers’ final creations were displayed in a gilded ballroom at the headquarters of Francois Pinault. As fans perused the designs, a solemn and chilling soundtrack played quietly in the background.
Early last month, the 40-year-old couturier took his own life. His label and legacy are expected to live on, however, the company’s chief operating officer has already stated that the late designer will not be replaced.
His last collection was inspired by old masters’ paintings all filled with ornate and intricate embroidery, hues in the realm of crimson and gold, and dramatic capes. When the final look made its entrance, a coat of golden feathers, spectators’ eyes filled with tears reports Women’s Wear Daily.
“Each piece is unique, as was he,” concluded the moving show notes.
Miley Cyrus, like many Hollywood actresses, has fallen in love with her movie co-star!
While filming her upcoming movie, The Last Song, Miley fell head over heels with on screen boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.
“He definitely showed chivalry,” she tells Teen Vogue. “I remember him opening the door for the director and I was like, Wow.”
“Working with Miley was a alot easier than I thought it was going to be,” Hemsworth admits to the magazine. “From the first time we [met], It was like I had known her before.”
Disney’s leading lady also added, “I think we’re both deeper than normal people — what they think and how they feel. He’s very grateful for what he has, but he doesn’t let it go to his head. I’m like that too…He’s a really freaking good actor is what he is. And he’s cute — so he’s got that.”
After her breakup with ex Justin Gaston Cyrus admits she had some growing up to do.
“In L.A., I had so many security blankets, people helping me with everything,” Cyrus explains. “I tried to book my friend a flight, and I didn’t know how because I was used to someone doing it for me. I didn’t want a babysitter anymore. I came to Tybee Island crying harder than I had ever cried in my life–and I left with the biggest smile on my face.”
The 17-year-old star also makes a cameo in this summer’s Sex and The City 2, she dished to Teen Vogue about her character.
“I know everyone says Carrie, but I love Kim Cattrall, so I’ll say Samantha. I want to be her because she’s the hottest, she’s funny, and she has attitude.”
We wonder if Hannah Montana fans will flock to see her in the adult themed movie?! We don’t think Disney mothers will be pleased.
Tiger Woods and his wife Elin are back to smooching it up!
The couple were seen getting their mack on Monday for the first time in months, RadarOnline.com reports exclusively.
“They were hugging and they were kissing right out in the open,” an eyewitness in their Orlando-area neighborhood told Radar. “Elin is certainly a lot more relaxed these days and so is he.
The blonde bombshell played tennis Monday and later met up with her cheating hubby and was spotted walking arm-in-arm, hugging and pecking her man in public.
“People in the neighborhood are getting used to seeing them together again,” the source says.
“They’ve come a long, long way,” the source adds. “There was a time when she wouldn’t even look at him.”
And she still shouldn’t! Once a cheater, always a cheater! A few weeks in rehab isn’t going to change Tiger’s CHEETAH ways.
While Elin has agreed to move back in with Tiger, she has yet to begin the process and continues to sleep at a rented house a mile away.
“There’s no question the divorce has been called off now,” a source close to the couple explains. “He’s winning her back.”
We can’t even begin to imagine where those lips have been!
Hilary Duff has become a triple-threat dominating the world of television, music, and movies. Now she’s moving onto books!
Hilary, now 22, has signed on to write a series of young adult novels for Simon & Schuster.
Her first novel, titled Elixir features the story of a globe-trotting journalist named Clea Raymond. The book is expected to hit shelves on Oct. 12 of this year reports Usmagazine.com.
However, Elixir is not the only book Hilary will be working on. She also plans to pen a nonfiction story about children coping with divorce which isn’t due to hit stores till 2012. In fact, Hilary’s parents split when she was young so she’s previously written about the topic in songs like “Gypsy Woman” and “Stranger.”
Looks like it’s a great time in Hilary’s life, as the news of her books comes shortly after confirming her engagement to hockey player Mike Comrie.
Movies, music, TV, literature and an engagement by 22?! Damn Hilary… you go girl!
Kathy Griffin has never been one to hold anything back — especially when it comes to her feelings about America’s beloved Sarah Palin!
Griffin’s faux boyfriend, and Palin family favorite, Levi Johnston, visted Anchorage, Alaska where Griffin took the stage to perform her stand-up routine. Johnston, who’s hoping to extend his 15 minutes, will be featured on the next season of Griffin’s hit TV show, My Life on the D List.
The loudmouthed comedian made numerous shots at Alaska’s governor, while Brisol Palin’s baby daddy remained at her side.
“We shot a scene where I show her [Kathy] Levi’s Playgirl magazine and she reacts to it,” a Playgirl rep, who came along for the trip, tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Then we went to a gay bar called Mad Myrnas. I asked Kathy what star she’d like to see take a ‘celebrity spill’ and she said ‘I’d like to push Sarah Palin down the stairs.’”
We wouldn’t look away if we saw Palin clunking down our stairs, that’s for sure!
Griffin, who often refers to Palin as the gift that keeps on giving, has recently taken interest in young Levi. The two have gone to red carpet events together and jokingly claim to be dating again in hopes to gain press.
With Levi being ordered to pay an extra $3,500 in child support, we really hope the publicity gets him some serious money!
Lindsay Lohan is not at all amused by E-Trade’s newest commercial.
In fact, she’s suing the financial company for $100 million for using her name in the ad about a boyfriend-stealing “mikaholic” baby. Ha!
In the commercial, which debuted during this year’s Super Bowl in February, a baby boy apologizes to his girlfriend for neglecting to call her the night before.
The girlfriend snaps back, “and the milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” Momentarily, another baby girl pops into the screen snapping, “milk-a-whaaat?”
The suit was filed on Monday, claiming the ad violates Lindsay’s rights under New York state civil-rights law.
“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” Lindsay’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said in a statement to the New York Post. “They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
Oh who F-ing cares Lindsay?! It’s not even about your skank ass.
The spokesperson for Grey Group, the company who produced the commercial said they “just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team.”
In the lawsuit, Lindsay is pushing an injunction to force the ad off the air.
This is absolutely ridiculous. $100 million for a commercial about a baby…?! Bitch. Pleeeease. You ain’t Madonna.
The Jersey Shore family is reuniting in a few weeks for another season of intense fist pumping!
MTV’s finest guidos and guidettes are getting their shit together in preparation for the first day of filming, scheduled to begin March 20, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“The show told the cast to be ready for shooting on March 20 but still won’t tell any of them where it will be shooting,” a source told Radar.
While they’ve been gracing our TVs and every tabloid known to man for the past three months, MTV is still requiring some background checks and other tests to ensure the reality stars don’t have a case of the herp or violent tendencies.
“They are gearing up to begin the show but first the cast needs to get blood work done and background checks.”
We’re pretty sure MTV knows all about their criminal past as most of their run-ins with the cops happened while filming last summer at the shore!
While the location is still a mystery to the cast, most other aspects of the show will remain the same.
“This season just like last season, they are not allowed to have cell phones, internet or TV again which makes it impossible,” the source added.
Uh oh! Looks like Snooki won’t be Tweeting and texting her new guido juice-head boyfriend Emilio Masella 24/7! How ever will she survive?!

While Nicole Richie is keeping the date of her wedding a secret, she reveals that she and Joel Madden will tie the knot “soon.”
Richie made an appearance on Tuesday’s Ellen Degeneres Show and dished to the talk-show host about her wedding plans.
“It’s a big deal,” she says of the wedding preparations.
Though she joked on E!’s pre-Oscar show Monday that the wedding would be “tomorrow,” all kidding aside, Richie’s just now getting down to business on the wedding plans.
“I’ve been on the road,” Richie says, who just returned from Europe where she presented her fashion collection line Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. “I just got home, so it’s really going to be like now that’s the time for me to sit down and think about what I want.”
Just like their engagement, Joel explains that they’re in no rush and plan to take their time preparing for the big day.
“The same thing as our engagement, we’re kind of doing it at our own pace. We have no idea right now.”
Hmm, we wonder if Paris Hilton will make the bridal party?!
Jon Gosselin’s ex bestie, Michael Lohan made a trip to the hospital this weekend rather than the slammer!
Lohan was taken to a Massachusetts hospital by ambulance — with his ex bestie’s ex, Kate Major by his side — Saturday after suffering chest pains, RadarOnline.com reports exclusively.
The fame-whore suffered a “near stroke” but told Radar Sunday morning, “I’m okay so far but they said I need tests and a procedure.”
Lohan and his girlfriend were gearing up for his celebrity boxing match with Todd Poulton in the Celebrity Boxing Federation in Sturbridge, Mass., but dude failed his pre-fight physical.
“He had chest pains all day and pains down his left arm,” Major explained, adding that an ambulance was called following his failed pre-fight physical.
We doubt Michael Lohan is bumming considering he STILL made the news this weekend!
