Another day, another former child star gets arrested. But this one makes me sad. Amanda Bynes was arrested for DUI last night in West Hollywood after clipping a cop car as she tried to pass. Yeah, that’s a pretty good way to get yourself arrested. I used to be such a huge Amanda Bynes fan! I loved her on All That and The Amanda Show back in the day, but it seems like she’s been having a hard time these past few years. Remember her weird retirement announcement on Twitter.

I really hope Amanda’s not heading down LiLo’s path. Her mug shot is pretty awful. She’s got some awkwardly colored pinkish purple hair, and heavy eye makeup. Maybe she’ll manage to be more of a Drew Barrymore though, and clean up her act. Either way, there are many former child stars who came before her. Check out Amanda’s mugshot here, and then take a look at these 10 other child star mugshots. Read More »

In my opinion, Nicole Richie has amazing style and can pretty much pull off anything. I think she’s the master at accessories (apparently she has more Chanel bags than should be allowed by law) and always looks polished.

She wore this dress to her dad’s benefit concert last week—I can’t decide if the bold print is overwhelming her small frame. I’m all about the statement but, I’m not totally sold. Maybe I’m just not digging the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow)?

Of course the clutch and bracelet do look perfect.

So what do you think, is our former Simple Life Star (WOW talk about progress) hot or a hot mess?

Celebrities have a tendency to dabble in endeavors they really should just leave to the pros. Think Hilary Duff and serious acting or Taylor Swift and any form of acting, period. But sometimes certain celebs find other niches that show off their other fabulous talents.

Enter celebrity jewelry lines by Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Molly Sims and Kate Bosworth. These ladies have a great eye for jewels. From statement pieces to the perfect pair of hoops, these celebs utilize their personal style to create some truly stylish pieces.

Looking for a little extra something to add to your wardrobe? A piece from one of these lines’ will absolutely do the trick! Read More »

Sometimes when people tell me that I should unplug my chargers when I’m not using them, or that I should not run my A/C as much as I do (I live in Florida!), I just brush it off. I understand and care about global warming and climate change, but it seems like such a big thing that nothing I do will help. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Climate change could ruin Starbucks! I’m going to start unplugging everything in my apartment because I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get my Java Chip Frappuccino in 20 years.

While we all know that college students rely on Starbucks to get them through all-nighters and early science labs, celebrities reply on Starbucks even more. I can’t go a day without seeing a paparazzi picture of some celebrity sipping through a green straw. What are these celebs going to do if climate change kills Starbucks? Maybe then their maids will have to make them coffee. GASP! Read More »

Why must starlets be soooo annoying

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like "damn, she always looks so cute," Ashley Tisdale are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.]

Confession: I miss hot-mess Nicole Richie. You know, 2003, fresh out of rehab, best friends with Paris Hilton, multi-colored, slightly raggedy extensions rocking, flashing boobies at fashion shows Nicole. I mean, sure, the babies are cute, her hair always looks silky and glorious, and the same antics that a 22-year-old engages in are a lot less cute in a 30-year-old. But still. I’m always a little bummed when not-Lindsay-tragic hot messes start domesticating themselves, because their uninhibited messiness is kind of admirable.

But it’s no big, because now I can admire Nicole for her banging sense of style. She’s the reason we all know who Rachel Zoe is, because Ms. Zoe is the one who gave Nicole a makeover even Cher Horowitz would be impressed by. And after Nicole became a style icon, suddenly every Hollywood starlet under the age of 30 was in Rachel’s care, but while they all looked like clones, Nicole always stood out. She has a strong sense of self that comes through in the outfits she wears, so while she may be uber trendy, she never looks dull or uninspired. Read More »
