Charlize Theron's 'Prometheus' Premiere Look Is Way Too '90s

charlize theronFirst let me ask you this: Have you seen the previews for Prometheus? What the F is that? There's nothing about that movie I understand ... but that certainly won't keep me from commenting on the fashion choices of its stars on the red, er, blue carpet. Charlize Theron is one of the mega-celebs in this very confusing movie and she came to the London premiere of the flick wearing a strapless Dior dress and black stilettos.

I'm beginning to wonder if Prometheus isn't about some 1990s junior prom because that's what Charlize is dressed for.

Kim Zolciak Takes Off Wig & Shocks Us With Her Real Hair (VIDEO)

kim zolciakOn last night's episode of Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding on Bravo, Kim Zolciak did the unthinkable. She took off her wig -- revealing a head of healthy, blonde, absolutely gorgeous natural hair. And after seeing just how chic her layered bob is, I can't for the life of me understand why she would hide such a perfect head of hair underneath that heavy wig. (Doesn't she sweat like a pig with that thing on?)

Most women would jump at the chance to show off a stylish haircut like Kim's, but after growing so accustomed to wearing a wig, she was very hesitant to take it off and reveal her natural hair to her friends. She wouldn't even do it in front of them and went into her room to remove the wig and touch up her tresses before showing them what was hiding beneath her fake strands.

How to Wear a Crop Top Without Feeling Half Naked

crop topCrop tops are cropping up all over the place and I remember once rocking a look similar to this Forever 21 Crop Swing Tank many moons ago. Okay, I lied a little. Back then the style was half tops and high waisted jeans (and really BIG hair). Which is a look some wear today and look great in (minus the Aqua Net). But it's no longer for me. I'm not saying hide your middles -- I still love my bikinis -- I just don't love my belly button hanging out when I'm doing public things other than swimming. But that doesn't mean I won't buy a crop top.

I found a way to beat these half tops at their skin-showing game with a few looks that are completely adorable. And even give your clothes some mileage.

Barack Obama Mitt Romney Urban Outfitters T-shirtsSurprise surprise: Urban Outfitters has finally made a slew of T-shirts that AREN'T crazily offensive. I know, right? The same store responsible for the Jewish Star tee and selling faux Indian apparel is now boasting Mitt Romney- and Barack Obama-inspired shirts. Let me tell you, they are epically hilarious. I'm not just talking play on words funny, either. Between the images of Obama "Tebowing" at his desk and Mitt Romney dressed up as rock 'n' roll legend KISS frontman Gene Simmons, these are epic. Generally, I'm not a graphic tee person, but with the upcoming election, I'm actually contemplating not just buying one -- but WHICH one to buy!

Check out the designs, here:

Brooke Burke’s Sexy New Lingerie Will Make You Want Some

Brooke BurkeI'm just gonna come out and say it: I have a slight lady crush on Brooke Burke. Every time I watch her strut across the stage on Dancing With the Stars, I think one of two things: 1. She has killer arms and 2. I wish I had a personal hairstylist to make me ALWAYS look that good. The DWTS co-host recently announced she's launching a new line of lingerie called intiMINT. The line, which will consist of bras, bottoms, loungewear, and sleepwear, will range from $20 to $80 and be available online only starting in June.

Sigh. I don't know about you, but I don't know of a woman Brooke Burke's age that doesn't want to look like Brooke Burke. And heck, now this physically fit, beautiful woman has to go out and get herself a fancy lingerie line? And it's affordable?!

That's it, I'm jealous.

‘Devil Wears Prada’ Sequel Gets Us Excited About More Clothes Porn

devil wears pradaGET ME DEMARCHELIER! If you're not familiar with that phrase, then clearly you haven't memorized every line of The Devil Wears Prada like I have. I've seen that movie so many times that I can't see the color blue without quoting Miranda Priestly's speech on cerulean. I won't tell you that the movie deserved an Academy Award or anything, but I will tell you that it was the best goddamn fashion flick of all time. It was straight-up clothes porn and I think I drooled every scene. If you're wondering why I'm rambling on about a movie released six years ago ... it's because it's just been announced that the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is coming out April 2013.

I think I've only said this once before in my life, but here I go again ... SQUEE!!

Jessica Simpson Looks Gorgeous on ‘People’ Cover Even If It’s Fake

jessica simpson  Well, it's only been a day or so since Jessica Simpson introduced her baby girl, Maxwell, to the world on the cover of People magazine, and already questions are being raised about her image and whether or not it's been retouched or photoshopped.

And I guess I really shouldn't be all that shocked that some are doubting the cover's authenticity, because plenty of celebrities have had more than a little airbrushing help when it comes to looking picture perfect in magazine photos. (God forbid they should pose for a cover in their natural state.)

Gwyneth Paltrow's White Short Shorts Will Have You Doing Leg Lifts

Who wears short shorts? Gwyneth Paltrow wears short shorts. If you dare wear short shorts, tone your legs up for short shorts! Ah, you have to love Gwyneth Paltrow. Not cause of her acting skills. Or her singing skills (which are kind of sketchy). And not even for her flawless fashion sense. But because she inspires so many rabid haters. And why do haters hate? 'Cause they jealous. No doubt Gwynnie haters everywhere will be frothing at the mouth when they see her in her latest ensemble, a pair of white, oh-so short-short short shorts.

Bathing Suit Shopping Will Depress You, but There Is a Silver Lining

bathing suitThere's a developing news story I think we need to keep our eye on. Women are being tortured in tiny, florescent lit rooms everywhere from Kansas to Paris to Buenos Aires. They're being forced to squeeze into skin tight body suits, observe themselves in a mirror, then decide whether or not to fork over about 100 bucks for the displeasure of leaving the torture chamber with a handful of spandex. It's likely you too have experienced some of this pervasive persecution; it is, after all, bathing suit season.

According to a new study, women feel the absolute worst about themselves when trying on swimsuits in a dressing room. Once we get to the beach or the pool, our moods turn around. But put us in front of a full-length looking glass under a buzzing haze of terrible lighting and, good god, our self esteem plummets.

Putting on Makeup Is Better Than Prozac

felicity jonesThere are few things in life I hate more than blow drying my hair. The heat, the noise, the time it takes, it's worse than listening to a dog bark all night. But there's one beauty routine I really love, and that's the simple yet intensively complicated act of applying makeup. Give me a mirror, some good lightening, decent counter space, great tunes, and a bucket full of beauty products and I will be happiest nutcase this side of the Mississippi. There's just something so therapeutic about putting on one's face, don't you agree? Felicity Jones of Like Crazy does. She told People that doing her makeup is a cathartic experience. And frankly, I couldn't agree more.
