A Good InVESTment



Supermodel Kate Moss is infamous for creating trends. Vests used to be reserved for tuxes or for accountants who paired them with a sweater—until Moss started sporting them.
Whether you’re a vest person or not, the trend is back and it’s already in some of Hollywood’s hottest closets.
Latin diva Jennifer Lopez is a repeat vest offender along with Mischa Barton and Victoria Beckham. So dig up that old vest you’ve been hiding in your closet, or go out and get yourself one asap because it’s still going to be a hot commodity for the Fall. Now that’s one good investment if you ask us.

Criss Angel Is Loving His 15 Minutes


Go on a few dates with a star like Cameron Diaz and everyone begins to write about you and 'care' about you. Who even cared about Criss Angel before he hooked up with Cameron Diaz anyway?
Angel was in Atlantic City last weekend enjoying every single moment of his 15 minutes as he was flirting it up blond models at the Borgata.
His estranged wife Joanne Sarantokos isn't laughing these days apparently. She "has been telling people she's pregnant," said a source, "although she may only be saying it as a threat to Criss."
Seems like Angels wife is a bit bitter that her ex has moved on and she is just trying to milk her 15-minutes as well and also trying to get some cash. Why else would she name Cameron in the divorce suit when they were seperated long time before Angel hooked up with Cameron.
It's just so interesting how publicity and money hungry some people are.

Cameron Diaz Apologizes To Peru


As we first reported on Sunday, Cameron Diaz has caught herself in a controversy and now the actress is speaking out. On Friday Cameron was spotted sporting a bag with a political slogan while sightseeing Machu Picchu in Peru's Andes on Friday.
The bag might be a “it” fashion item in some parts of the world but in Peru the slogan “Serve the People” is a big “fashion don’t”. Especially, since it evokes memories of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong's and the memories associated with him are bloody.
In a statement emailed to the Associated Press, Cameron said:
"I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it.”
The sad part of this story is the actress is in Peru to participate in a Canadian television show “4 REAL” that celebrates Peru's culture. The show focuses on young community leaders around the world. Talk about a good deed gone bad.
Cameron went on in her email to state how she never meant to hurt anyone with her taste of fashion.
"I'm sorry for any people's pain and suffering and it was certainly never my intention to reopen what I now know is a painful wound in this country's history and wish for their continued healing."
What do you guys think? Was Cameron’s poor taste the cause of unnecessary drama or should she have done research before sporting an item?

Trend Alert: Side Strap Handbags


The side-strap handbag has become a must have item for Hollywood starlets. It’s a must-have TREND for the summer. Miu-Miu and Prada seem to have added a long strap for every bag in the spring/summer collection.
The nice thing about the side strap is that it’s much more comfortable and a lot safer. I don’t know about you guys but when I go out at night I'm always in fear of losing my clutch, but with a side-strap, the bag is basically glued to you.
Stars that are big fans of the style are Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson and even Naomi Watts was seen sporting one over the weekend while shopping at the Farmer’s Market.
If you wanna splurge go get yourself a Miu-Miu or Prada handbag with the side-strap, but if you are on a budget Forever 21 is the way to go.

BET Awards Red Carpet Talk


The BET awards went down last night in Hollywood and here at Hollyscoop we want to know who was wearing what.
Beyonce Knowles rocked the red carpet in a sequined Dolce and Gabbana number. The bootylicious star wasn’t the only one sporting the Italian line.
Rapper Eve opted for a shorter D & G dress where she displayed more legs to give her animal print dress the wild touch. Alicia Keys took the simple route sporting a Michael Kors nude dress. Although Alicia didn’t sparkle like a disco ball she looked stunning.
One person that didn’t make our best dressed list was Vivica A. Fox from “Dancing With The Stars”. We honestly don’t know what she was thinking. The only explanation we have is that she kept her ballroom dress from the hit TV show for this special night.
Tell us your thoughts on who reigned the red carpet and was the Queen of the night.

Jessica Simpson To Launch Swimwear Line


Jessica Simpson is launching a new bikini line that she will debut next month during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami Beach, Florida. Is there anything Jessica hasn’t done yet? And they say she’s a ‘blonde.’
Her swimwear line will feature skimpy sexy designs and modest one-piece suits as well. Simpson helped design each and every one of the swimsuits and is also going to be personally selecting the models that will walk the runway during the fashion show.
This swimwear line is just one of the many ventures that Simpson is involved in. She already has a skincare empire, hair extensions line and a shoe and clothing line. Now that’s an entrepreneur if you ask me!

Drew Barrymore: New Face of Gucci

First Covergirl and now Gucci--Drew Barrymore is busy busy busy...raking in the dough that is.

Fashion giant Gucci announced today that Drew Barrymore would be the new face for their fine jewelry line.

I almost didn't even recognize Drew in the picture, they need to tone down the photoshop a little bit. What's the point of hiring a celebrity to be the face of your brand if the celebrity isn't recognizable?
