Kris Humphries Cool with Kim Kardashian's Racy Sketchers Ad

 

Seems there's been some talk lately about Kim Kardashian appearing in a "racy" ad, airing sometime during the fourth quarter of the Steelers-Packers Super Bowl game on Sunday, and it turns out, the ad is for Sketchers Shape-Ups.  (Why yes - I do own a pair, and I must tell you, I absolutely love them.)

So, word on the street was that Kim's man, New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries, wasn't too keen on being comfortable with the ad, but according to Kim, that's just silly.  She told People mag that Humphries was perfectly okay with it, and he laughed off the whole thing:

"He's not a jealous person at all."

Visit Kim's blog to get more lowdown on the ad, and find out how she feels about being in a Super Bowl commercial.

Heidi Klum Gets Lucky

In the March issue of Lucky mag, not only does mom and model Heidi Klum make the cover, but she dishes the details of fashion, style, shopping and McDonald's. 

She credits her own mother for being her personal inspiration when it comes to style, dishes that if she were trapped on a desert island and her husband Seal was making a visit, she'd sport a pair of Louboutins - and nothing else - and she thinks Barack Obama is one smokin' hot Prez.

The issue goes on sale February 8th.  Get more Lucky sneak peaks by visiting the website at luckymag.com.

Awesome Duct Tape Prom Gowns and Suits

 
I've been following this contest for a few years now, and I absolutely love it!  I'm always impressed by the sheer talent and all around craftiness of those who can make a roll of Duct Tape look so good!

A little history:

Ten years ago, Duck Tape brand duct tape launched the Stuck at Prom Scholarship Contest, which challenges high school students from the United States and Canada to create and accessorize prom outfits that are unique, beautiful - and made out of duct tape. For their trouble - and Duct Tape designer duds - winners earn some much-needed scholarship money for college.

This time around, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Stuck at Prom Contest, the top 10 couples chosen will each receive scholarship money broken down like so:

• First Place - $3,000 each and $3,000 for the school that hosted their prom
• Second Place - $2,000 each and $2,000 for their school
• Third Place - $1,000 each and $1,000 for their school

The remaining seven finalist couples will receive $500 each and $500 for their school.

The 10 finalist couples will be chosen based on workmanship, originality, use of color, accessories and quantity of duct tape used to create their prom attire.

Couples will then compete during a period of on-line public voting, however staying in the race could prove a bit sticky - er - I mean tricky because in the new voting format, the top 10 couples will be "voted off" based on lowest number of overall on-line votes.

Students interested in participating can go to http://www.stuckatprom.com for official contest rules, important contest dates and a registration form.

The contest begins on March 1, 2010.

Joan Collins Turns Back Time

 
The actress posed for jeweller Alexis Bittar, who has unveiled a costume jewellery line appropriately called Superbitch, said to have been inspired by the Alexis Carrington character.

Miss Collins, whose husband is a mere 44, has insisted she would never resort to cosmetic surgery to preserve her looks. On Wednesday she wasn't saying whether she had the same views on a little airbrushing.

In the past she has said: "In front of the camera my skin probably isn't nearly as good as it used to be. But, what the hell, everybody's got to get older.'

Ah...I remember those Dynasty days...high maintenance hair and make-up, dripping gemstones and shimmering baubles, elegant gowns and trendy pantsuits with matching shoulder-padded jackets...!

Joan - who turns 77 in May - still looks fabulous, darling!
