I would like to start with a disclaimer. One, I have only been writing this column since June, so I cannot account for any hot messes prior to this time. And two, hey, there are a lot of celebrity hot messes out there. I have only been able to criticize a tiny percentage of them. I’m sorry if I didn’t have a chance to review your favourite hot mess of the year (but tell me, tell me, who was it?!), but these are my biggest hot messes of my super awesome weekly column, Hot or Hot Mess over the last few months.
[Like it or not, we all judge people every day. Especially when it comes to their fashion choices. From the girl with the too-short skirt for class to the old guy who insists on wearing short shorts and doing butterfly stretches at the gym (yeah, try to get that visual out of your head), it's impossible not to form an opinion. And now we're gonna share those opinions with the world. Every week, I'll be highlighting a celebrity look that I may love/hate/not understand and see what you, my college fashionistas, think about it. So put on your Joan Rivers fashion cap (which is undoubtedly made out of all the skin she's had nipped and tucked over the years) and let it all out.]
Thigh high boots can be tricky. Let’s face it, as much as we all love Pretty Woman, we don’t watch it for Vivienne’s sartorial choices (or at least I don’t). However, it seems that she was Nicole Scherzinger style inspiration for her outfit at the Capital FM Summer Ball. The strange thing with this outfit, whether it’s the black, the leather or the kinky-theme throughout, is that it weirdly…works. She isn’t trying to make the boots look non-trashy by pairing it with something demure or girly, she has kept the outfit consistent from head to toe. And let’s be honest, if anyone can pull this off, it’s Nicole. She’s been the figure-head of trashy-chic (yes, I just made that up) for years now and she does it well.
So, what do you make of her ensemble? Would you let her shop in your Rodeo Drive boutique, or would you hand her back to Richard Gere?
Ahh, finally some buzz from the Hollywood hills! The past few weeks have been a bit dull, but now we’re back in action. Elin and Tiger are officially dunzo, Lindsay Lohan is a free woman, and Heidi Montag has sex tapes! So much drama to indulge in. I just hope it doesn’t make me fat.
So here’s the scoop.
Ice Cream Sundae
1. Our favorite felon, Lindsay Lohan, is out of rehab after only 22 days! I don’t know how she managed to skip out on her full three-month sentences in jail and rehab, but girlfriend did it. She’s already raking in some major cashflow post-lockup with companies sending her clothes and offering her deals, like a radio hosting gig in New York with Mama Lohan. Although Lindsay is out of trouble for now, she still has a court date set for her hijacking adventure on January 31, so don’t get too used to that freedom yet, girl!
2. Elin Nordegren is officially rid of Tiger Woods, as a husband that is. They finalized the divorce this week and Elin walked away with a big chunk of cash. Elin made her first and last interview with People Magazine and opened up about the scandal she’s been living through. Tiger released a statement after her interview ran and spoke about how sad the situation is. We agree, it’s sad. For Elin and the kids! Best of luck and props for being so strong!
3.Heidi Montag has a sex tape, and Spencer Pratt is trying to sell it! While everyone’s still debating if their divorce is real, the sex tape certainly is. It’s of Heidi and Hef’s former girlfriend, Karissa Shannon (yeah one of the twins). Karissa is a good friend of Heidi’s and claims Spencer stole her camera, and she says there are other things on there she doesn’t want getting out! Yikes. Also, Heidi is getting her implants removed and she’s terrified that her nose is going to fall off! So sad. I think? Heidi, are you frowning or smiling?
