Kristen Stewart Changes Hairstyle, Maintains Angst
KStew has changed her hair color from brown to reddish. No doubt she’s trying to shake the hardcore rock n’ roll image that her brown hair supplied — since everyone knows that being brunette means that you have deep, dark secrets…secrets that can only be expressed through the roar of a guitar riff and the smashing of a beer bottle — but unfortunately, her angst is too profound to be eradicated by having red hair. I mean, look at her…. More »

Reminder: Lindsay Lohan is 23
For some reason, Lindsay Lohan’s age — although of course I already knew it — startled me. The woman has gone through enough drama in her life to make any casual observer believe that she’s at least 40 years old. Now, she’s starring as porn star Linda Lovelace in a movie about Lovelace’s epic role in Deep Throat. If that doesn’t say “I’ve lived,” nothing does. Let us rehash the ways in which LiLo seems to have lived a touch… More »
Now is the Summer of Our Disconsweat: Sex in the Summer
It was too hot to do anything but sit around and complain about the heat. We ran out of ice cubes and drank warm water from the tap, wiping the sweat from under our knees and behind our necks. My cheeks were flushed pink. His shirt was soaked through. The city felt damp from humidity and summer angst.
The air conditioner was broken.
I flipped through the channels, ignoring international sports spectaculars and reality-show repeats. “There’s nothing on TV,” I whined.
“Want to… More »

Sarah Palin Needs A Drink: Salmon Flavored Vodka
Sometimes, you’re out and at brunch, enjoying your cream cheese bagel and lox when suddenly you slam it down and exclaim “you know what this needs? A shot of salmon infused vodka!” At least, we imagine that’s what Sarah Palin does. Which is probably why the people in her home town engineered this vodka. According to the makers, “Definitely the first few times we had our heave bucket close by. It was pretty bad, and you know, greasy.” That sounds… More »
The Laser Boob Job Has Arrived
Lasers – they’re not just for Star Wars aficionados anymore. For years, laser surgery has been used to improve eyesight and now, it’s being used to increase the size of your breasts.

Christina Hendricks Talks to ‘Health’ Magazine About Body Image and Bloggers
The ever-gorgeous Christina “Joan Holloway” Hendricks is on the cover of the new issue of Health magazine. Here are a couple of choice quotes from her profile. As usual, all anyone wants to talk to her about is how she looks. Maybe it’s because she’s not allowed to give out Mad Men spoilers?
Regarding the New York Times’ slam of Hendricks (“You don’t put a big girl in a big dress”): “I made the grave mistake after one awards show of… More »

Today is June 30th, which means that tomorrow is July 1st. Oh, and it’s also Canada Day. As the French say, “bon fête du Canada!” Translation: good party of Canada.

Are Wrap Dresses Really That Flattering?
Diane von Furstenberg is designing “wrap rompers” for the Rockettes. I didn’t think about the romper aspect of this, because my brain is already too full of rompers. But I did think of the whole “wrap” element, and it reminded me that I’ve never owned a wrap dress that lived up to its initial, dressing room promise.
Look, I love the idea of a wrap dress. Especially the pretty DvF ones. And I’m familiar with all the things magazine editors seem… More »
Food is Fashionable: Lara Stone Likes Cupcakes, Is Human
Clearly, Lara Stone didn’t get the memo about the fact that donuts are the new cupcake. Which is great, because here at The Gloss we think that treason is the new cupcake. However, Lara Stone loves cupcakes. In fact, according to the NYT, they’re her current obsession! She loves the “ones from Primrose, a little bakery near my house in London.” We’re guessing that’s because no one calls her a fat cunt when she orders one. Though the cupcake… More »

Behold: The Invisibelt
Like you, I wear belts sometimes. I’m not talking about waist belts, but the good, old- fashioned ones you thread through the loops on your pants. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy wearing belts (especially ones covered in glitter), but sometimes they’re awkward.
Personally, I don’t like to tuck my shirt in. If I did, it would probably make my belt troubles go away. But I refuse to do it. Usually I just lift my shirt ever so slightly and rest… More »
More Trendy Diapers to Love
Let’s say you’re a stay-at-home mom. You don’t get to talk to other adults as much as you’d like, you don’t get to shop as much as you’d like, and there’s really no point in ever busting out your most fashionable items of clothing.

Well, isn’t it annoying when, after all of your hard work, you step outside and your makeup falls off your face? The summer sun is something we all look forward to, but there’s nothing worse than the feeling of makeup sweating off. It’s uncomfortable, messy, and a waste of your admirable efforts to look pretty, not to mention the money… More »
