Lea Michele's People's Choice Awards Look Was the Best of the Night

Lea Michele People's Choice Awards 2012Don't you just love fashion spotting while watching awards shows? I absolutely adore every opportunity to channel my inner Joan Rivers (minus the plastic surgery). Last night's People's Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles had its fair share of glammed up leading ladies, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Glee's own Lea Michele. The actress, who snagged the award for Favorite TV Comedy Actress, beating out Tina Fey, co-star Jane Lynch, Kaley Cuoco, and Courteney Cox, looked AMAZING.

Her white Marchesa gown was so not what I expected, with beautiful draping and so many intricate layers. It fit her like a dream! Accented by a strappy pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz, Lea did Rachel Berry proud.

BUT we haven't even gotten to my fave part of it all, just yet. I'll give you a hint: Pretty in pink.

Guy Fieri Jewelry Line Makes Us Question His Taste

Guy Fieri JewelryWhen I think of Guy Fieri, I think absolute craziness. The spiky-haired culinary rock star has made a name for himself hosting foodtastic shows like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and Tailgate Warriors on Food Network. Now, he's taking on a different, more dainty venture: The jewelry business.

Fieri has teamed up with Room 101 Jewelry and deals website Open Sky for his "off-da-hook" line. Featuring items like a set of cuff links for $75, dog tags for $75, and chain bracelets for a cool $175, the line most definitely reflects Guy's over-the-top personality.

I can get over the hilarious fact that foodie Guy Fieri has his own jewelry line. What I can't get over is how gaudy all of it is. If I was to see any man wearing this sort of stuff, I'd run in the other direction immediately.

Jennifer Lopez Is Nuts to Sell Jewelry That Marc Anthony Gave Her

jennifer lopez and marc anthonySomewhere in Miami, there is a white linen suit wet with Marc Anthony's tears, because Jennifer Lopez is allegedly selling all of the jewelry and designer duds he gifted to her. A "source" close to J.Lo told the Chicago Sun-Times that the pop star is currently in the process of "quietly" selling all of the fancy, expensive jewels her ex-husband bestowed upon her (unsurprisingly, supposedly, there's a lot), and she's also given away much of the name-brand clothing. The source added that this is how Lopez works, stating, “It was true when she split with Ben [Affleck], Diddy [Sean Combs], and obviously Ojani Noa."

A little much, if you ask me. It's not like the woman is hard up for cash. Why not save some of these sparkly, shiny items for her daughter?

Many Oscar-winning actresses have drastically changed their appearances to "get into" character for their roles -- remember how Charlize Theron got "ugly" for Monster and Hilary Swank went "totally boy" for Boys Don't Cry. Gaining a little weight and cutting your hair is one thing, but Rooney Mara, star of the upcoming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, actually went under the needle for her role. That's right! Mara got pierced in multiple places on her face AND body, just for the role.

kylie jenner kendall jennerThe youngest in the Kardashian/Jenner family are ready to capitalize on their oh-so-famous name -- Kylie Jenner, 14, and Kendall Jenner, 16, just inked a deal to design and produce a line of jewelry and accessories. The sisters have teamed up with Glamhouse, a fashion company that helped Nicole Richie launch her line of baubles, and older sister Kim make her jewelry collection called Belle Noel.

With momager Kris Jenner behind them, and with their age-appropriate yet L.A.-chic sense of style, I think Kendall and Kylie are poised for kuccess. Or juccess? "J" for Jenner? Eh, I tried. Anyway, yeah, they're definitely going to be successful.

My Big Jewelry Secret, Exposed

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Nov 4, 2011 at 1:00 PM

Beloise JewelryI have a good friend who always wears the most beautiful, unique jewelry, which I notice every time I see her.

It turns out that her sister, Frances, makes the jewelry and sells it in boutiques across the South. I told my friend that if her sister ever began selling the jewelry online, I would love to write about it for this blog.

Well, my long wait has finally come to an end.

Beloise Jewelry is now available on the Internet and I'm loving it. Here's why:

  1. It's unique -- chances are, no one else will have what you're wearing, and Frances will even work with you to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
  2. All of the stones are real, semi-precious stones.
  3. Because the stones are real, this is the kind of jewelry I love to give -- or receive -- as a gift. The prices are surprisingly affordable. This Pearl and Crown Necklace, for example, is $70.

Want to see more of my favorite Beloise pieces? I'll show them to you after the jump!

What's Brighter Than a Diamond? Moissanite.

MoissaniteEver heard of moissanite?

I hadn't until I got an email about it.

In short, it's a man-made mineral that's touted as having more fire and brilliance than a diamond.

Best of all? It's less expensive!

Charles & Colvard, the company that creates moissanite, sent me a solitaire necklace so that I could check out what's called "The Most Brilliant Jewel in the World" for myself.

Check out my thoughts -- and see the revealing photos -- after the jump.

Kim Kardashian Engagement Ring Is Even Scarier Up Close (PHOTO)

Kim Kardashian engagement ringWe've all caught a glimpse of Kim Kardashian's obscenely giganteriffic engagement ring before now, but take another look at it in these newly released close-up shots. Just don't get too close to the screen because you might go blind. Holy crap it's so shiny. It's so bulky. It's so ... scary.

First of all, that thing has got to weigh at least 10 pounds. I worry that my favorite Kardashian gurl will eventually develop back problems if she doesn't balance it out with something of similar weight on the other hand.

Not to mention how uncomfortable it must be on her finger. That rock runs from knuckle to metacarpal. It's a wonder she can even bend that finger anymore.

We just love that Tori Spelling, so we were super excited when she shared her favorite things for summer with us. Tori’s Summer Must-Haves include some lovely handpicked beauty items, as well as some great-looking jewelry she picked up during her travels. All the items are available at her new store in Sherman Oaks, which, lucky for us, is also online at InvenTORI.

Even better, her favorites included lots of affordable picks under $50 -- unlike the ongoing picks of another celebrity mom we know.

Check out a few of Tori's picks for summertime!
