The rumors about Drea de Matteo leaving the show won’t die
And this one might be the actual truth. E!’s Ted Casablanca is reporting that he’s got an inside source on the show who says Drea de Matteo wasn’t at the cast’s recent table reading — because Angie wasn’t in the episode.
The source, perhaps mimicking the Bolens, followed that by saying “That ain’t good.”
Ted went on to bash the show. I’m not bitter.

Pleather for My Vegans
I promised you pleather, and I’m delivering you pleather! This plus-size jacket was found during my Torrid run today, and I think it goes against all the stigmas of pleather. Not only is it fitted and modern, but the price is right in line with a lot of our current budgets ($68).
This jacket is more low-key, which I think is excellent– I’m afraid that a really dressed-up pleather coat will just end up looking cheap!
This hooded bomber would look awesome… More »
Beau Mirchoff hopes his character Danny Bolen ‘goes out with a bang’
Let it be known, “Desperate Housewives” stars are two things:
1. Happy to have their roles
and
2. Have about as much idea what’s going on in the storyline as we do. They just find out a little but earlier.
Beau Mirchoff, who plays Drea de Matteo’s son, Danny Bolen, is no different.
“You know, I am just happy to be part of the show right now because I don’t expect to be back next year,” Beau told the New York Post. “I kinda hope… More »
Too Much Plus-Size Plaid?
I was browsing for new finds today, and I happened upon a giant page of flannel and plaid over at Torrid. Could it be that I’m finally over my checkered love? I couldn’t find a single piece I enjoyed and/or wanted, and that’s saying a lot– my closet is like a plus-size hunter’s explosion of black-and-you-name-it.
Even though this roll-sleeved shirt is filled with attitude (and I wore a similar piece just like it very recently), I’m just not feeling it… More »

Holiday Gift-able! Jane Iredale
Someone at Jane Iredale is a chocoholic after my own heart. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the new chocoholiks gift set.
Beyond giftable, this adorable little box includes four lip glosses made with 100% natural ingredients, including antioxidant sunflower seed oil and hydrating jojoba seed oil. And perhaps even more important than the wholesome ingredients is the inherent yumminess of the four flavors included:
Truffle
Chocolate Orange
Strawberry Cream
Caramel
I’m tempted to order the chocoholiks gift set as not only… More »
Burberry High-Neck Puffer Vest
I did so well this weekend. I only bought Christmas gifts for a select few family members and window shopped for myself. Of course I window shopped my way into Neiman Marcus to look at some great Christian Louboutin shoes, Louis Vuttion handbags, and Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry. Once I made it up to the second floor I found the amazing winter Burberry section. And on the racks is a very pretty Burberry High-Neck Puffer Vest. And it is love.

A Touch of Volume
Think extensions are just for the young and wild? Not so!
One of the hottest trends women in their forties, fifties and even sixties are seeing is extensions used to combat the thinning and graying process!
Yes, something like extensions can add volume and reverse the aging process.
At least that’s what Neihule Salon’s Yvonne Neihule says.
“Female baldness is not a rarity and extensions can be a great way to actually help stimulate hair and add volume. I have seen many of my… More »

55DSL and Adidas Originals have not only collaborated with limited edition sneakers via the XV/55 limited edition sneaker. Right now they’re introducing 5 graphic shirts that are just too cool as hell.
How cool are these? Let’s see, these are eye-popping prints of a Banana, Phone, Eye-ball, Skull and Tube of Paint. The inspirations were from pop art, graffiti, and urban culture if they weren’t any obvious at all. Each graphic actually has it’s own cheeky meaning which also drew… More »

Give the Gift of Celebrity Scents!
At one time most celebrity perfumes were nothing more than baby powder-scented souvenirs. Now celebs produce top-notch fragrances that rival designer brands. I’m so impressed by their quality, I’m adding a few of the newest A-list scents to my Christmas wish list.
Here’s what I’d like Santa, baby to bring me:
J. Lo’s fragrances are inspired by her ever-changing moods. The tag line for the diva’s newest perfume, My Glow by Jennifer Lopez, is “because every baby is an angel.” And the sweet scent was… More »

Promo for ‘Desperate Housewives’ Season 6, episode 10, ‘Boom Crunch’
As always, there’s a lot — and I mean a lot — of quick scenes in the 30-second promo for next Sunday’s episode. Let’s take a look at each one, shall we?
(A funny aside…ABC’s Web site has this short description for next week’s episode: “Susan comes up with a plan to help Katherine; Orson and Bree come to an agreement; a plane crashes on Wisteria Lane.” Oh, that’s all? Just a normal day in the ‘burbs. No biggie.)
