Twilight, Lady Gaga set ARIA trends

Like Lady Gaga, they pushed the boundaries of costume complete with white horse-hair covering their shoulders that would top the Worst Dressed list purely for being so politically incorrect.

Kim Kardashian’s Lunch Hour Outfit Update

Ever get bored of your outfit halfway through the day? Not a problem if you’re Kim Kardashian. The red-hot reality TV star certainly made her outfit multi-task whilst in New York. Stepping out in a monochrome shorts and vest combo, topped off with a chic striped blazer,
she transformed her look with a quick accessory switch, ditching the jacket for one supersized hat she picked up on her shopping trip. Perfect for hiding from the pap flashbulbs!

“Fashion” covered by Lady Gaga

This totally made my day - the full leak of “Fashion” covered by Lady Gaga for the Confessions of a Shopaholic movie. I can now appreciate this song to its fullest - sorry Heidi, but your version raped my ears.
I wonder if Heidi is mad that they didn’t use their version.
