While walking her pooch in New York on Wednesday, Mischa Barton revealed why it's her fashion sense that needs to be put on a tight leash!
Dressed to the Ca-nines in a Grimace-purple, Mrs. Roper maternity muumuu, unfortunate black shorts with matching Mary-Kate Olsen black tights, and a pair of two-toned purple and white pumps -- Mischa looks ready to walk the high fashion runways ... of the Westminster Kennel Club! Arf!
Mischa really ought to have this look put down!

After nearly 20 years, former teen popstar Debbie Deborah Gibson is still stuck at her 1988 Long Island prom! Sadly, this taffeta catastrophe isn't only in her dreams!
With her "Electric Youth" on the fritz, the 36-year-old arrived at a Foundation for Facial Reconstruction charity event in New York on Monday draped in a coral sheath -- which appears to have been acquired at a "Dancing with the Stars" rummage sale.
This, little Debbie, was a "Foolish Beat!"

TMZ has exclusively learned that a luxury shoe boutique in the Hamptons is offering the revamped Star Jones free shoes for life!
Since her ignominious departure from "The View," Star has undergone a complete makeover, including a new job at Court TV. Todd Shapiro, owner of Hampton Shoe Vixen is offering the deflated talk show host free shoes for the rest of her life. "Now that she has a new job and has lost so much weight, she is going to need new shoes," Shapiro told TMZ.
Since Payless Shoe Source did not renew their contract with Jones, Shapiro has offered to make Star the boutique's national pump-pimping spokesperson. "Although we can't pay what Payless did, we can pay her in shoes."
A rep for Star Jones tells TMZ, "An offer was never made to our client."

Move over Kim Kardashian, Caroline D'Amore and Nicole Richie, because Paris Hilton has a new BFF tutee -- Elisha Cuthbert.
Paris schooled Elisha on how to shop like an heiress, as the two hit up one of her favorite fashion institutions, trendy Sielian's Vintage Apparel on Saturday. The boutiquing blonde babes rummaged through every nook and cranny of the shop's stylish racks, with Paris picking up 20 vintage dresses, 12 purses, 12 necklaces and 12 vintage scarves, clearly preferring to buy by the dozen. Phew! Luckily, Professor Hilton left something for Elisha to study, as the former "24" star managed to find some super-cute 60s hats.
Paris spent the day educating Elisha on all her favorite L.A. retail haunts, and was overheard telling a Sielian's employee, "You're the only place I took Elisha for great vintage!" Quite an endorsement coming from a girl who majored in International Mall Relations with a minor in Fitting Room Science.
Later on teacher and student hit trendy Petro Zillia on West 3rd Street, where Aly Scott of StyleChic tells us staff shut the store down for Paris and Elisha. Class dismissed!

While Britney Spears deals with her issues in rehab at Promises, the shorn pop princess is getting added help in the form of ... retail therapy!
Sources tell TMZ that Brit has been on an online shopping binge, charging over $3000 on everything from fedora hats and True Religion Daisy Duke shorts, to Dita "Addict" sunglasses and even a dress by a company called, appropriately enough, Tart. We're told Spears emailed her cousin, Ali, a list of all the trendy items she wanted from the hip Internet site shopintuition.com.
And it appears Britney's judgement is getting better; TMZ also learned that she picked up the 'It' frock of the summer -- Suzanne Juul's red and gold bamboo cap-ribbed dress in a size small. Nice! Spears also bought one of Juul's Eternity shawls in light blue, which was previously made famous by Mary-Kate Olsen.
It looks like once she's out of rehab, bald head aside, Britney will be looking fine!

When Hollywood It girls like Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan want to look casual while sipping lattes and shopping on Robertson Blvd., they put on Nation's line of silky soft and stylish t-shirts.
The brand has become a favorite with starlets Mischa Barton and Reese Witherspoon, Tori Spelling -- and even the patron saint of fashionistas everywhere, Sarah Jessica Parker. StyleChic's Aly Scott tells TMZ that Jessica Simpson loves the brand's buttah-like feel so much -- that she requested them for a recent Elle magazine shoot.
Especially hot right now is Nation's grey PE (as in Phys Ed) t-shirt which retails for $69. According to Nation, "This gem is made to look like that old PE tee from 3rd grade ... loose, casual, gooey." Delish!
So throw away your 90s baby tees -- and get ready to face the Nation!

No, that's not the Muppet version of Linda Tripp, it's former "Hollywood Squares" cube-quipper, Bruce Vilanch!
The pleasantly plump Oscar show scribe arrived to the ACLU Pride Partnership Awards on Thursday, sporting his usual Sally Jessy Raphael glasses, his standard ironic t-shirt, and a new Virgie Arthur shag!
All of these prove why Bruce is indeed one of the biggest funny men in show business.

Now TV fans and homeless people everywhere can dress like "America's Next Top Model."
One would think that emulating "America's Next Top Model" would require clothes from chic designers like Gucci, Prada and Versace, but clothes seen on the show's most recent season premiere will be available for purchase at the House of Goodwill.
From March 1 - 5, fashionistas on a budget can purchase outfits and accessories from the series on Goodwill's Internet auction site, with proceeds going toward job training programs. There are twelve items up for a bid, all starting at under $50. Who knew looking like a cheap ho could do so much good?!

Fashionista beasties Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were snapped wrapped in fur as they capped a Paris trip, and MK has not scrapped her witch boots! Crapuleux!
Ashley, who made PETA's Worst-Dressed list in 2006, looks like she's wearing a black mink and her pint-sized platform jackboots as she leaves the posh Plaza Athenee hotel near the Champs Elysees. Oh, l'humanite!
Mary-Kate opted for a lighter mink jacket, her tragicomic white sunglasses, a green alligator purse, torn black leggings, an unfortunate skull scarf, and of course, yet another pair of five-inch ankle-high witch boots! L'horreur!
TMZ contacted PETA for comment, and Veep Dan Mathews said, "Maybe their granny left them those ratty furs. They should have buried the coats with her."
And the rest of the outfits too!

VH1's new reality series "The Agency" reveals the ugly side of the beauty biz!
The show takes place inside the famous Wilhelmina modeling agency in New York, where agents and bookers offer some very harsh advice to the young models. While already thin by normal standards, the walking waifs are continually told by their handlers to lose weight, workout more -- and to look like a "bloody stick." The lovely bones!
The modeling industry has been under attack for its skeletal weight demands, causing all of Spain, and fashion capital Milan to set up new codes banning emaciated girls from the catwalks. Bon appetito, ladies!
While the hard truth in "The Agency" may not be pretty, it does make for good TV.
"The Agency" airs Tuesdays at 10:00 PM on VH1.

After cars that GM licensed for "Transformers" were unveiled during a pre-Academy Awards fashion event at Paramount Pictures, speculation has been rampant that GM may be debuting a line of specially-badged vehicles to coincide with the launch of DreamWorks' "Transformers: The Movie."
GM's cast of "characters" in the Michael Bay film include "Jazz," who's played by a Pontiac Solstice; "Ratchet," who's really a Hummer; and "Ironhide," who looks suspiciously like GMC's new TopKick.
Says Mike Jackson, GM North America Vice President of Marketing and Advertising, "'Transformers' is a compelling project and offers us a global platform for marketing GM products and building our brands; it represents the perfect intersection of entertainment, marketing and design."
Great.
Toyota expects to dramatically increase sales this year -- by half a million -- to 9.34 million vehicles. That's well ahead of troubled GM, which is actually in the throes closing plants and laying off 30,000 workers.
Rather than mulling some lame line of "Transformers"-badged cars, how about this crazy marketing idea, GM?
Build a car people love.

With Oscar night just around the corner, there's only one other thing on the minds of nominees -- the swanky swag they're gonna nab on awards night! Win or lose, the evening will be sweetened by a plush one of a kind leather duffel bag from designer Gina Alexander.
Alexander, famous for putting the stars' faces on the bags they carry, was commisioned to create the swanky bag for the nominees -- and it's emblazoned with images from the most memorable movies of the year.
The sack retails for a colossal $2500! Whatever the Oscar outcome, this is still a nice prize.
