HOT SHOT DEBUT: NERDS ARE HOT posted by fred flare comments (4)

Hi guys, how was everybody’s weekend? Did you do anything exciting? I spent my weekend reading about the history of New York, and looking up facts about outer space on the internet. I’m a little bit of a nerd, so what? Barbie hearts nerds. I have no shame about my obsession with black holes and nebulas. I also happen to love analog inspired items like the LED motherboard menorah, and the motherboard xmas tree. They are simple, cool, and they blink! The WeSC colorblock sitar headphones are so super cute. I love how they fold up and fit right in the palm of my hand. Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself and CLICK THE PICS TO PURCH THE MERCH!

**YOU’LL HATE HIM ALERTZ** 2night Whitney’s high-fashion sandals at the pool edge out Justin’s Doc Martin’s in Malibu as The Hills’ most questionable waterfront footwear. “Strikingly handsome” (2 quote his bio) Doug has a chalk portrait of himself in his room. And Spencer & Heidi’s Lifetime Original Movie takes a turn for the worse.

SHE LOVES US BACK! posted by Jen comments (10)

It occurred to me the other day, after reading all of your boombox responses to Katy Perry’s “Ur so gay”, that we all LOVE Katy Perry! She’s adorable, of course we love her, riiiight?! Well, I also started realizing that KP loves us back! It’s so obvious. She’s wearing our Risky Biz sunglasses in like every pic, she rocks the banana phone and she’s totally wearing the Red Apple necklace from earlier this summer! I’ve also seen her in the self adhesive mustaches! So, I’m sending a direct invite to Katy… If you’re reading this, please come hang out at our GRAND opening red carpet shopping event on October 24th!! Congrats on all the success Katy, we heart you and everything you do (and everything you wear)! xoxo ff

remembering paul newman posted by Chris comments (5)

As you probably know, actor, humanitarian, race car driver and top chef Paul Newman passed away this weekend at 83 after a long battle with cancer. Oh Paul! I bet my Mom is really sad… She loves Paul Newman. I think her fave movie is The Sting. Most of you prolly know Paul and his wife Joanne Woodward for their signature line of salad dressings, but Paul is an Oscar winning actor and American icon first and foremost. Many cite Paul (with Marlon Brando ) as creating the modern form of acting that we see today by stripping away the hyper drama of stage and creating a more realistic approach. Our hearts and prayers go out to Paul’s family and friends for their tragic loss. Paul, you’ll be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Butch! Do y’all have a fave Paul Newman film or story? Please share your memories with us of this unforgettable man!

heather locklear arrested for dui posted by Chris comment (1)

Oh no, not this again. Heather Locklear is the latest celeb to get bust for a little drinky-drinky drivey-drivey. Heather was pulled over Saturday by CHIPs after she left a Santa Barbara parking lot and then proceeded to drive erratically. She may have been wasted on prescription drugs.

Srsly Heathz, this is so 2007! I know Heather’s had a tough couple of years… The break-up with Richie who cheated with Heathz bestie, Denise Richards, then rehab for depression and anxiety. C’mon now Heather, pull it together… Amanda Woodward would never allow herself to become such a mess!
