LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian: Start Your Breakup Stopwatches Now!

by Erin Gillespie

There is never any shortage of Buzz surrounding LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian; right from the very start, their affair-turned-marriage and Instagram antics have been raising eyebrows and supplying gossip writers with plenty of fodder. So as a gossip writer, I suppose before I proceed I should issue them a heartfelt thanks for the material – we simply couldn’t do what we do without you guys. Now that that’s out of the way…rumours of marital strife between the pair have been circulating almost as long as they’ve been together, and this week, things appear to be ramping-up. Now it seems that the pair may be hurling themselves full-on in to a debt spiral that, for most of us, would take three lifetimes to claw our way out of. According to Star Magazine, the pair are...

More Sad News From Paisley Park

by Erin Gillespie

The loss of one of music’s shining stars last week took an even sadder turn today. While we don’t yet know the results of Prince’s autopsy after his untimely death on the 21st of April, there are certain details that are starting to emerge that cast a bit of a sad patina over the whole situation. We now know that the emergency landing that Prince’s plane had to make the week before his death was due to an overdose of narcotics – Prince was rushed to a hospital and given a life-saving dose of naloxone (also known as Narcan), a drug that counteracts the effects of opioid narcotics. The working theory at the moment is that Prince was suffering from a nagging hip injury, and had become addicted to Percocet, a potent and addictive opioid pain reliever that has...

Best Fitness Workouts for Women

by Jason Croteau

Yes ladies, you will often find a little hanging fat under the arms. The best thing you can do about that is to lift weights. “You don’t have to be obsessively masculine about it, you can make it fun and sexy.”  That’s what will make you more interested and anxious to see your results. If you keep following those same boring, useless diets, you’ll dread getting yourself in shape. That’s why you must have a super positive attitude about it! Some women have almost change who they are just to believe in themselves. If you’re like me and are often put down, told you can’t do something; “GO FOR IT!” Show those evil bitches what you’re made of! Leave behind those who have nothing but negative things to say about your fitness...

Claire Danes Wore a Light Up Zac Posen Gown to the Met Ball!

by Erin Gillespie

While the people at Vogue were busy cooing and preening over Kimye and their tacky-bedazzled-Balmain snoozefest, there were some pretty strong sartorial choices floating around the ball, completely independent of the Kimye and Kardashian circuses. Perhaps the most notable of these truly standout attendees (who were sadly overlooked in the wake of the aforementioned circus) was Carrie Mathison herself, Homeland actress Claire Danes. Danes wore an exquisite Zac Posen gown that quite literally lit up the room. The gown was created from a custom finer optic organza fabric, and required Danes to wear better packs in order to supply the power to the gown. Zac was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about the gown, and gave us a peek into his philosophy behind it. Posen set out to create a gown...

Dyson Now Makes Insanely Expensive Hairdryers

by Erin Gillespie

Unless you’ve been asleep for the better part of the last few decades, you will have seen a Dyson product or two kicking around. the company, founded by British entrepreneur James Dyson (now known as Sir James Dyson, thanks very much) has built a reputation for building efficient, state of the art machines that provide solutions to annoying, everyday types of issues. Their products are generally thought of as good – some would say excellent even, but they don’t come cheap. The product that they are perhaps best known for, the vacuum cleaner, was the thing that started it all. While they now have expanded their product line to include many different varieties of vacuums, air filtration devices, and other various and sundry items to make ones life easier, it is realistic...

Feminine Dresses + Sneakers: Spring’s Favorite Uniform

by Erin Gillespie

While there are some who have been declaring this Spring season as “the return of the high heel,” I have yet to see the evidence of this manifesting itself anywhere other than in articles I’ve read during fashion week. For the past few spring and summer seasons, flats have really been the thing, and continue to be popular with both the the fashion cognoscenti and those of us who simply love to dress. It’s a welcome relief from the sky-high, studded, and spiked “rocker chick” heels of a few seasons ago, and it’s going to be pretty darn hard to wrestle our colorful sneakers away from us now that we have really and truly learned just now much fun they can be to style (never mind the obvious comfort level). Even Victoria Beckham, once a die-hard fan...

David Miscavige ‘s Dad Dishes All in a Tell-All book!

by Erin Gillespie

Don’t know who David Miscavige is? Need a refresher on the crackpot philosophy that is the Scientology movement? That’s okay, I’ve got your back. It’s not like you can expect normal, functioning people to keep this stuff at the front of their minds anyway…you have lives, jobs…things to do, and you require your wits about you to do it. So allow me to fill-in the gaps for you so that you don’t have to waste precious grey matter on this tosh. Let’s start with Scientology. Scientology is basically a cult. Okay, actually, if you want to be technical about it, all religions would be considered cults if we go by the  original definition of the term, “a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.” In...

90s Accessory Trends That Are Making a Comeback This Season

by Erin Gillespie

We’ve been watching the 90s creep their way back in to our sartorial vernacular for months now, and it would seem that certain accessories and beauty trends have finally decided to follow suit. While there are some things from the 90s that are now firmly on the 2016 no-fly list: brown and taupe lipstick, bindis, super-skinny eyebrows,  fuzzy crop-tops, and “The Rachel” haircut to name a few, there are equally a few 90s trends that are definitely worth a second look. Here, I’ve created a neat and tidy list of 90s-inspired trends that are back in stores right now, so if you simply cannot find that old velvet choker or tube of Matte Viva Glam lipstick, fear not, you will probably be able to find another at a store near you. Ankle Bracelets I’ve always loved a...

The Internet’s Sanctimommy Brigade Tried to Baby Shame Chrissy Teigen

by Erin Gillespie

Chrissy Teigen has been my favorite internet Twitter and Instagram celebrity for the better part of two years now. She’s a very public figure married to another very public figure (Musician John Legend), yet manages to keep her social media feeds unfiltered, real, and unquestionably written by her and her alone. As you may already be aware if you are even remotely following celebrity news and gossip, Teigen and Legend recently had a baby girl, who they named Luna. In the wake of Luna’s birth, Teigen has been very candid about many of the issues that new mothers face, many that are rather…um biological. While all new mothers feel an overwhelming sense of awe in the wake of the birth of their first child, there is another, darker side of motherhood that is a modern phemonemon...
