When Sales And Celebrity Come Before Standards

This is what happens:

Emanuel Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige made a “shocking” decision this fall (even by his standards), in appointing famous wild-child Lindsay Lohan to Artistic Advisor. And now he’s made another: That Lohan will indeed stay on with Ungaro, as “she has a job to do.” Lohan made her big debut in Paris for the Fashion House’s Spring 2010 collection alongside head designer Etrella Archs… and a big debut she made. Blazers with heart-shaped pasties, bandeau’s with glittery hearts resembling a stripper’s uniform, and second-skin leggings in true L.Lo style showered the runway. Needless to say, the audience responded with “polite applause” before racing to the nearest exit.

On the other hand, if all Ungaro Execs were looking for out of the deal was a paparazzi frenzy and good sales, they got what they asked for. Moufarrige is notorious for being impatient with his designers and utilizing controversy to increase brand awareness. (He caused a huge shake-up in 1997 when he replaced head Chloe designer Karl Lagerfeld with the then 25-year-old Stella McCartney.) When asked about the harsh criticism the line received, Moufarrige told Reuters, “I am sure we can do better in the collection to be honest, but I think it was harsh … But it did sell well.”

It may have sold all right in the end despite criticisms, but what about a little thing called pride?? Ungaro no longer has a clear style aesthetic or strong following since the “man of the house” himself, Emanuel Ungaro sold the brand in 2005.  And if the critics are anything to go by, it is indeed a safe assessment that Lindsay Lohan’s name alone made sales what they are for Spring 2010. Because it certainly  wasn’t the clothes.

Though this hardly comes as a surprise, it has recently become public knowledge that Mr. Ungaro is disgusted with the direction his former Paris House is headed. According to reports, Ungaro recently told an audience that the house was “well on its way to “losing its soul.” He also called Lohan and Archs’ collection a “disaster,” and added, “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do.”

And Emanuel Ungaro isn’t the only one angered by the acquisition. Former creative designer Esteban Cortazar stepped down due to reported disagreements over Moufarrige’s “advertising strategy.” It has also been rumored Cortazar’s refusal to work alongside Lohan played a huge role in the bringing in of Estrella Archs as his replacement.

If money and publicity are all Ungaro execs are looking for these days, it’s not a good sign of things to come. Disharmony within the house and constant criticisms that are sure to increase with Lohan’s continued involvement can only lead to disaster. It’s a real shame Emanuel Ungaro no longer has a say in creative operations, and as he so brutally put it, “When you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.”

Hayden Panettiere Runs It

Hayden Panettiere was on set for what I assume was Heroes and was caught running. Now whether or not this was for a scene or because she read the new script I can’t be sure. What I do know is that she looks pretty good in action poses and I think she should make that her thing. You know her “thing”, like how Snoop Dogg throws up a gang signs in photos or how Lindsay Lohan likes to be on coke when she gets her picture taken. They have a “thing” and I think Hayden Panettiere should make action poses her “thing”. It would help set her apart from every other girl and would give people something to talk about besides how terrible Heroes is.

Jon Gosselin Wants To Hook Up With K Cav & Whitney

Kristin, the recipient of the 2009 Us Weekly Comeback of the Year Award, attended the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood 2009 bash last night, November 18.

Kristin brought the sexy in a black corset top with a skirt just above the knee.  But something’s off with the makeup for us.  We don’t love the heavy eye make-up with the pulled back hair.

In other news, Jon Gosselin, star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and every tabloid magazine, is said to be after Kristin Cavallari and Whitney Port.

“Jon said he really wants to hook up with Lindsay Lohan, Kristin Cavallari, and Whitney Port.  He’s like a kid in a candy store and going absolutely wild.  He definitely isn’t on the prowl for another wife.”

Jon Gosselin has become fast friends with Lindsay Lohan’s father, so it’s pretty disturbing if he does want to hook up with Lindsay, not to mention the others.

Lindsay Lohan es más astuta de lo que imaginábamos

Resulta que la fallida actriz, fallida cantante y fallida ser humano, Lindsay Lohan es aparentemente más lista de lo que todo mundo imagina, pues el día de ayer se metió a un restaurante y ordenó una botella de champaña (que probablemente se tragó enterita en menos de 10 minutos) y luego, cuando la mesera le llevó la cuenta, ella apuntó hacía Kellan Lutz, quien también se encontraba en el lugar, y dijo que él pagaría la botella. Inmediatamente después, LiLo desapareció como por arte de magia.

En ocasiones anteriores, ya hubieron rumores de que a Lindsay le gusta robarse joyas, pero este es un modus operandi completamente nuevo. Conforme pasa el tiempo, aprende nuevas mañas, así que esperen un día de estos la noticia de que se metió a robar a un banco o que quiere volverse política.

Lindsay Lohan was dating Heath Ledger when he died?

In the recent parade of private Lohan phone calls, Dina Lohan was heard saying that Lindsay Lohan was secretly dating Heath Ledger when he died.

I refuse to believe this is true, because I’ve put Heath Ledger up on some ridiculous pedestal. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to believe it.

According to Radar Online:

In a shocking revelation, Dina Lohan drops the bombshell that her daughter Lindsay was secretly dating Heath Ledger when he died and his death devastated her. In the explosive recorded audio tape of a phone conversation between Dina and Michael Lohan, Dina says that Ledger and Lindsay had been dating at the time of his tragic death in January of 2008.

“And she was dating Heath when he died,” Dina reveals to Michael. “I don’t know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends very, very close, ok?”

Dina told Michael about the relationship because she was afraid for Lindsay’s life too: “Because when she’s drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking.”

She said that the actor’s death was a terrible shock to Lindsay. “That f—-d her up,” Dina says.

In the 2008 call, Dina discusses how desperate the situation was for her daughter. “She cannot be alone,” Dina tells Michael. “When she sleeps here she sleeps with me… she has fears from being little and what you did to us.”

Dina and Michael’s nasty divorce has been something Lindsay has said had a negative affect on her life. Dina defends Lindsay’s assistant Jenni Muro, telling Michael that Muro was going to save Lindsay.

In the calm but passionate conversation Dina told Michael that Lindsay needed someone with her at all times to control her, and her assistant Muro provided that help as did another assistant named Laurie.

Lindsay’s mother was also worried about her relationship with Samantha Ronson, telling Michael that she thought Lindsay should walk away but it wasn’t that easy of a decision for her daughter. “It’s very easy for a rational person to say. But for an irrational person who has a problem with her DNA and alcohol and Adderall and asthma and every other things she’s got wrong with her.”

Your Weekly Serving of Awesome: 11/3 - 11/10

So surprisingly enough, the world was relatively calm this past week. No weird celebrity business (except for the few minutes where everyone thought Lindsay Lohan was off her rocker but turned out to be okay), no crazy TV or movie antics, nothing! So I am forced to resort to the wide world of THE INTERNET to see what’s hot. And oh baby did I find some awesome. Here’s the top 4 things you need to know from the past week:

4. There’s Something In A Box

Okay, I don’t care how weird it looked in the trailers or that it hasn’t gotten the greatest reviews. The Box is definitely one of the more interesting movies I’ve seen this year and should definitely be checked out by anyone looking for a good mystery/suspense/people-missing-part-of-their-face movie. Plus, it’s from the same guy who made Donnie Darko, in case you forgot. So forget the negative buzz and check it out.

3. Celebrities Be Lookin’ Old

I don’t know if you noticed, but people age over time. Didn’t notice? Allow me to demonstrate. Here’s Lindsay Lohan in 1998:

And here she is in 2009:

And here she is with the time-traveling future Lindsay Lohan:

And the cycle begins anew. There’s also a nifty Leonardo DiCaprio version out there, illustrating the development of his face from thin to PUFFY.

2. SNL Is Culturally Relevant

Yes, making fun of Twilight is cool. Everyone knows that because every sane person knows that Twilight is really really really lame. So for SNL’s first week back in a few weeks, they brought us this masterpiece:

Rock on, SNL, and keep doing stuff like this to not drown in a cavalcade of mediocrity.

1. Autotune Makes Everything Better

Whether it’s an astronomy lecture…

…the news…

…or even a baby…

it really does, and don’t deny. Put that in your beautifully-rendered golden pipes and smoke it.

See you all next week at the breakfast table!

“Burglar of the Stars” Awaits Criminal Charges?

As reported by Las Vegas Backstage Access on Oct. 29, 19-year-old Rachel Lee was nabbed in northwest Las Vegas for allegedly burglarizing the Hollywood Hills homes of celebrities including Audrina Partridge, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and the Hilton family. 

Few facts are immerging on the case, but search warrant records obtained last Friday in Las Vegas show that police seized photos of Paris Hilton, designer jeans, computers, a Korean passport and 204 $100 bills when they arrested her on Oct. 22. 

Curiously, no charges have been filed- yet?

El circo de LOLhan continua

Ok, intente ser lo mas neutral que pude pero es imposible, la vida de la antes bella y talentosa estable Lindsay Lohan se ha convertido en un circo de 3 pistas, aqui lo ultimo que ha pasado segun X17online: esta mañana uno de sus seguidores de twitter le pregunto quesi tendria la oportunidad de viajar al pasado y cambiar una cosa cual seria, a lo que ella respondio: “las acciones de mi padre de ayer, sentiria lo mismo si fuera una madre, ella se lamenta por haber estado con el tanto tiempo, yo le rogaba que no lo dejara porqu el la amenazaba con matarla si lo hacia, despues de que desaperecia por varios dia mientras la engañaba y consumia sustancias toxicas” Despues escribio que se sentia muy apenada por “compartir” con todo el mundo lo que le estaba pasando y blah, blah… con esto queda mas que claro que esta Lolhan necesita ayuda, de inmediato!! ojala que la obtenga aunque sea de los que la siguen en twitter XD

Papa a raison

 

Tsé quand Papounet de l’année Michael Lohan disait que sa fille était ben décâlissée (no shit, mon pit) pis qu’il allait faire entendre au grand public des conversations téléphoniques enregistrées… (dans le seul but d’aider HoHan, bien entendu)? Ben, il ne mentait pas.

Michael a fait parvenir ses enregistrements à Radaronline. Parait que d’autres cassettes s’en viennent. Quel bon gars.

Je vous suggère de sortir la bouteille de fort que vous cachez dans votre tiroir de porn. C’est assez déprimant… même selon les standards Lohan.

ENTENDRE ICI.

PARABENS PRO MEU BLOOOOOOOOG

Como no Dia do aniversário do Do Hospital ao Cabaré eu tava comemorando com meus amigos ricos no haras, eu vim fazer um post especial COM JOGUINHO EEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Seguindo a mesma brincadeira (já que meu blog faz aniversario no Halloween, no dia do Saci, e no aniver de Mozão) do ano passado:

DE QUE LINDSAY LOHAN TÁ FANTASIADA PRO HALLOWEEN ????????????????????????????????????

Dumbass

Jag har inte skrivit om det här för att jag verkligen inte bryr mig, men det är i alla fall ett gäng ungdomar som har brutit sig in i en massa Hollywoodstjärnors hem och stulit smycken och sånt. Bland de drabbade finns Lindsay Lohan (som var snygg som fan för några år sen, men nu ser ut så här, gissa varför jag valde en gammal bild), Paris Hilton och några fler, men jag är inte så bra med namn. Nu har en tjej från det här gänget fotograferats med halsband stulna från Lindsay. Kan man vara så efterbliven att man i en stad full av paparazzi går runt i stöldgods från en internationellt känd skådespelerska.. det tar emot att skriva skådespelerska.. knarkare? Internationellt känd knarkare beskriver nog Lindsay bättre. Vi kör på det.
