OH MY GOOOOOOD! Congratulations to Brad & Angelina! The happy couple have welcomed their twins, two girls, Entertainment Tonight is reporting. The babies are named Isla Marcheline (after Angelina's late mom) and Amelie Jane (in honor of Brad's mother). Poor Shiloh. She's no longer the baby AND her birthday is within a week of the twins'! |

From Perez.... Looks like Entertainment Tonight got their story all wrong! According to the reliable peeps at People, Angelina Jolie has NOT given birth to the wonder twins. A Brangelina rep issued this statement, "Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France." We're just happy that Shiloh won't have to share her bday week with the twinsies! Boooooooooo!

![]() This week, John Barrowman made a quick unpublicized trip to Southern California. You might think he was there for the cock, but he came primarily to take part in a study at the Human Genetics Lab at UCLA. The research was filmed by the BBC for an upcoming documentary themed around the scientific search for what makes people gay or straight. In the documentary, Barrowman's brain activity will be observed in an MRI machine while he looks at naked pictures of both sexes. He'll also have his DNA examined and compared with that of straight men and other gay men. The BBC also reportedly set up a meeting for him with his first high-school girlfriend and lets us eavesdrop as they catch up on old times. You can look forward to the 3-part documentary in August or later. The source concludes with this cryptic remark: "JB should be back in London by now, just in time to knock out another Nancy." What the hell does that mean, British readers? Does he beat up transvestites, or what? |

Tatum O'Neal Arrested On Drug Charges Actress Accused Of Possessing Crack Cocaine, Allegedly Tells Cops That She Suffered A Relapse NEW YORK (CBS) ― Oscar-winning actress Tatum O'Neal, who has a history of drug problems, is free after being arrested on Sunday night in lower Manhattan The NYPD tells CBS 2 HD O'Neal was picked up in the process of making a buy. It happened outside a Lower East Side Chinese restaurant. When she came out of court Monday afternoon, the 44 year-old actress said nothing, got into a car and was driven off. O'Neal, who lives on East Broadway on the Lower East Side, was charged with drug possession. It happened just two blocks from her apartment. A narcotics team was conducting a drug sweep on Clinton Street, between East Broadway and Grand, around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say O'Neal solicited drugs from a suspected drug dealer, and when police moved in, they allegedly found two bags of drugs: one was crack, the other regular cocaine, as well as a crack pipe. Police sources tell CBS 2 HD O'Neal initially told cops she was doing research for a part, asking for them to give her a break, but then, allegedly said, "I've been clean a long time. Today was the first time I was relapsing." She's best known for the movie "Paper Moon," which won her an Oscar at the age of 10. O'Neal, who has three grown children with tennis great John McEnroe, wrote in her 2004 memoir, "A Paper Life," that boozing and drug addiction was in her DNA. "Genetics or DNA plays a big role in addiction," said Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal, the founder of the drug treatment center Phoenix House. Rosenthal would not talk specifically about O'Neal, whose late mother was an addict, but he said it's a problem that runs in families. "We see lots of kids at Phoenix House who were introduced to drugs not by a pusher at school, but by a family member," Rosenthal said. The charge O'Neal is facing is a misdemeanor. She was released on her own recognizance. The alleged drug dealer, 33-year-old Alan Garcia, was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance. |

OH MY GOD!!!! I don't care how long this article is but, the man is a fucking icon! You don't get awarded with the Legion d'Honneur for nothing!YSL forever! Au revoir et Merci bien, Yves! *fashion kiss*[size=7]Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent dies at 71 By ELAINE GANLEY – 7 hours ago [/size] PARIS (AP) — Yves Saint Laurent, one of the most influential and enduring designers of the 20th century, empowered women by reinventing pants as a sleek, elegant staple of the female wardrobe. Saint Laurent, 71, died Sunday night at his Paris home after a yearlong battle with brain cancer, said Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent's close friend and business partner for four decades. "Chanel gave women freedom," and Saint Laurent "gave them power," Berge said on France-Info radio. He called Saint Laurent a "true creator" who went beyond the aesthetic to make a social statement. "In this sense, he was a libertarian, an anarchist and he threw bombs at the legs of society," he said. "That's how he transformed society and that's how he transformed women." The Gucci Group, which acquired the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house in 1999, said the designer's death "leaves a great emptiness but also a sublime inheritance." "This genius of creation shattered the codes to create French elegance which today makes Paris a grand capital of fashion," Gucci said. Berge, speaking Monday on the France-2 TV station, stressed Saint Laurent's "profound love" for women. He used fashion to "serve women" and not "use them," said Berge, who collaborated with the designer for four decades and was his former romantic partner. In his own words, Saint Laurent once said he felt "fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves." Saint Laurent widely was considered the last of a generation that included Christian Dior and Coco Chanel and made Paris the fashion capital of the world, with the Rive Gauche, or Left Bank, as its elegant headquarters. The designer raised the stature of fashion while making it more accessible, it is widely agreed. President Nicolas Sarkozy praised Saint Laurent for "putting his mark on a half-century of creation, in luxury as well as ready-to-wear." First lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who graced Saint Laurent's runway during her modeling career, said she had a "heavy heart" on learning of his death. "He was an exceptional artist and human being," she said. "He made not only beauty, but also women's strength sublime." For Culture Minister Christine Albanel, the designer personally touched women's lives. "This brilliant idea that a woman could be the most feminine possible while dressing like a man ... it seems to me decisive," she told Associated Press Television News. "Little by little, women get rid of their corset and then they live differently." From the first YSL tuxedo and his trim pantsuits to see-through blouses, safari jackets and glamorous gowns, Saint Laurent created instant classics that remain stylish decades later. "Mr. Saint Laurent revolutionized modern fashion with his understanding of youth, sophistication and relevance. His legacy will always be remembered," said Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. Saint Laurent was born Aug. 1, 1936, in Oran, Algeria, where his father worked as a shipping executive. He first emerged as a promising designer at age 17, winning first prize in a contest sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat for a cocktail dress design. A year later, in 1954, he enrolled at the Chambre Syndicale school of haute couture, but student life lasted only three months. He was introduced to Christian Dior, then regarded as the greatest creator of his day, and Dior was so impressed with Saint Laurent's talent that he hired him on the spot. When Dior died suddenly in 1957, Saint Laurent was named head of the House of Dior at age 21. He opened his own haute couture fashion house with Berge in 1962. The pair later started a chain of Rive Gauche ready-to-wear boutiques. Saint Laurent's simple navy blue pea coat over white pants, which the designer first showed in 1962, was one of his hallmarks. His "smoking," or tuxedo jacket, of 1966 remade the tux as a high fashion statement for both sexes. It remained the designer's trademark item and was updated yearly until he retired. Also from the 60s came Beatnik chic — a black leather jacket and knit turtleneck with high boots — and sleek pantsuits that underlined Saint Laurent's statement on equality of the sexes. He showed that women could wear "men's clothes," which when tailored to the female form became an emblem of elegant femininity. Some of his revolutionary style was met with resistance. There are famous stories of women wearing Saint Laurent pantsuits who were turned away from hotels and restaurants in London and New York. Saint Laurent's rising star was eternalized in 1983, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted a show to his work, the first ever to a living designer. He was awarded the Legion d'Honneur in 1985. But bouts of depression marked his career. Berge, who lived with the designer for years, was quoted as saying that Saint Laurent was born with a nervous breakdown. When Saint Laurent announced his retirement in 2002 at age 65 and the closure of the Paris-based haute couture house, it was mourned in the fashion world as the end of an era. His ready-to-wear label, Rive Gauche, which was sold to Gucci in 1999 for $70 million cash and royalties, still has boutiques around the world. Saint Laurent had long been rumored to be ill, and Berge said on RTL radio Monday that he had been afflicted with brain cancer for the past year. "He no longer liked the world of today's fashion ... he said it didn't understand him," Berge said. "He had a great, immense love affair with fashion. It's true that he left the profession, but in a couple you can split up because you must do so ... and still be very unhappy," he said. "That was his case." After retirement, Saint Laurent spoke of his battles with depression, drugs and loneliness, though he gave no indication that those problems were directly tied to his decision to stop working. "I've known fear and terrible solitude," he said. "Tranquilizers and drugs, those phony friends. The prison of depression and hospitals. I've emerged from all this, dazzled but sober." A funeral ceremony was scheduled for Thursday at the Saint Roch Church in central Paris, Berge said, moving the date announced earlier forward by a day. Saint Laurent's ashes are to be placed in a vault in the Majorelle botanical garden in Marrakech, Morocco, which he and Berge purchased in the 1980s, their foundation said. He once said something along the lines of: The best garment a woman can wear are the arms of a man who loves her. if she doesn't have that, I'm there for her. How cool is that? |

Well, he was very ill and he did retire a while ago. But still, yeah...kinda sad. That man was truly revolutionary. A real artist. I don't think a lot of designers can call themselves "artists" these days. They all make their money from handbags and perfumes,now. What you see on the catwalk is a constant recycling of styles that go in and out. Where are the real revolutionaries? McQueen was alright but, he too has started recycling. And Westwood is only around because Gwen Stefani loves her! Fashion is NOT about celebrity endorsements! It is about breaking the mold! YSL MADE women's fashion what it is today. Even if you are not interested in fashion, no matter what you wear; you're probably wearing something that is inspired by YSL. |

A bit from The Devil wears Prada. Miranda Priestly explains Andy Sachs that fasion is everywhere. Like, she's right and ll but, she is NOT talking about the art, here! This is ALL what fashion is,. now....sadly. No wonder YSL pulled out. (Miranda and her assistants are deciding between two similar belts for an outfit. Andy sniggers because she thinks they look exactly the same.) Miranda Priestly: Something funny? Andy Sachs: No, no, nothing. Y'know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me. Y'know, I'm still learning about all this stuff. Miranda Priestly This... 'stuff'? Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean. You're also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic "casual corner" where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of "stuff." |
