Check out Lindsay Lohan’s latest cover for Vogue España‘s August issue. The actress has surprised many, myself included, when she decided to don a Marilyn Monroe platinum wig again to channel the screen icon for the glossy shoot. After her previous disaster, when she recreated Monroe’s “The Last Sitting” for NY Magazine, you can’t help but wonder why?
No doubt she’ll cop even more flack for this latest effort, although having now seen the finished results I’m not quite so dark on her. For example, the image (above, right) where she is dressed in Thierry Mugler is actually quite fierce. Almost Gaga-inspired.
Mischa Barton has been admitted to hospital after police were called to her home in L.A. on Wednesday to attend to a “medical issue.”
The actress/handbag designer was placed under Section 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold (the same code that Britney Spears was held under in January last year) before being transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Barton’s rep confirmed that the star will not be attending the world premiere of her new film, Homecoming, Thursday night but refrained on commenting further. She was due to fly into New York Wednesday evening for the premiere and a photo-shoot.
We are used to seeing her donning her Sixties retro full-skirted frocks and Stepford Wife pearls for Mad Men, but the real-life January Jones is anything but. The actress is Elle‘s August ’09 cover girl as shot by Mariano Vivanco. Check out the video above for a behind-the-scenes look at her shoot – and keep your eyes peeled for an appearance by Donatella Versace! Click play on video above to watch.

Following the internet leak of the Anna Sui for Target lookbook last month, Target execs have been quick to backpedal on any suggestion that the range has been inspired by Gossip Girl.
“One of Target’s top executives got nervous about being that closely associated with the show, given the [debauchery] its characters get into,” a source told the New York Daily News.
American Vogue has broken its run of celebrities on their covers by featuring Christy Turlington on its August issue. The supermodel was photographed by Steven Klein flashing more than a bit of leg in a lilac halterneck gown. But nstead of the usual high fashion editorial inside, Christy is captured on location in Guatemala while on location shooting No Woman, No Cry, her documentary on motherhood in third world nations.
Fans of The City may be surprised to learn that one of the show’s cast is already pulling out. Erin Lucas has confirmed that she will not be returning for the second season.
“I decided to do something different,” she told NY Mag. “I have a project in the mix, but I want to get into more hosting. That’s really what I love. It was just hard. It was a chapter in my life and it was nothing but positive. I’m glad I did it, but on to the next thing”.
She also admitted that she hadn’t spoken to Whitney Port for months.
“We were [close], but things change,” she said. “There was a falling out”.
Oh dear! Erin also said that there were no hard feelings, and if she ever saw Whitney again she would give her a big hug.
At the end of last season, The City also lost Jay after Whitney decided to break up with him to focus on her career and being a single gal about town. At this rate, there won’t be anyone left.
It is full-steam ahead with season six for Project Runway. Despite moving to a whole new network, the designer reality TV show is back for another round with Heidi Klum at the helm. Mentor Tim Gunn, and judges Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors are also back, as well as whole host of celebrity guest judges.
Finally it was our turn for the kids of Harry Potter to grace us with their presence. Emma Watson arrived in New York this week to promote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She hit the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Theatre last night in a gorgeous black leather halterneck dress with contrasting white skirt by Proenza Schouler, and black strappy sandals. Earlier, she attended a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman in a gorgeous nude tired dress with black trim from Christopher Kane’s Fall ’09 collection. During the show, Letterman quizzed her about that unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at the London premiere, to which she cheekily replied: “At least I was wearing underwear.”

Screen queen Kate Winslet has landed herself another glossy cover, this time for US Harper’s Bazaar’s August ’09 issue. The Oscar-winning actress was photographed by Peter Lindbergh suspended on a tower with New York acting as the stunning backdrop. For the shoot, she dons Burberry, Michael Kors, and Yves Saint Laurent. I just love that white floaty Ralph Lauren dress on her (above right) don’t you?
Britney Spears has reprised her role as the face of Candie’s for the fall ’09 campaign. Currently on tour in Europe, the singer also wears Candie’s clothing, footwear, and accessories in her new music video for “Radar.” Despite what seems like a major Photoshopping job, a rep for Britney claims this is not the case. To prove this point, two comparison shots were sent to Perez – click here to play spot the difference.

During the fourth of July celebrations over the weekend, all eyes were on Rihanna who partied at Tao Las Vegas in not much more than a pair of pasties.
It was a risqué decision by the R&B star, who covered her nipples in the sequinned star pasties, worn underneath a black tuxedo suit.
I’m not quite sure why a crop top, vest or even black bra wasn’t chosen as a suitable alternative. That is, unless she was planning to whip off her blazer and do a “shake ‘em all about” move on the dance floor.
What do you think? Does Rihanna get away with this look, or should she have left the pasties to the professional dancers?
