It's a big YAY than OMG!!!!
love Giambattista Valli's fanciful gowns but can't afford the luxe price tag? Thanks to Macy's 'Impulse' collection, budget fashionistas across the nation can now catch a sweet taste of Valli's delectable designs! Valli will be the fourth designer collaboration as part of the 'Impulse' line—Matthew Williamson, Kinder Aggugini and Karl Lagerfeld previously designed capsule collections for the large scale retailer.
At a private event in New York City, Macy's gave a sneak preview of Valli's highly anticipated collaboration series and the collection did not disappoint. Valli's diffusion line, with just 17 pieces, may be small compared to Karl Lagerfeld's abundant 45-piece collection, but Valli's collection is plentiful with party-ready frocks and classic silhouettes in sassy prints. The lower-priced collection promises to stay true to Valli's whimsical design aesthetic with pieces like the ultra-chic leopard day coat or the bright fuchsia tiered dress complete with a dainty bow belt.
Giambattista Valli for Macy's
The collection represents a labor of love for Valli, who said, "this capsule reflects my enduring loves, but is really a celebration of my biggest inspiration of all—the energy and vitality of women themselves." The collection is priced between $50 and $150 and will be available in Macy’s stores nationwide and online on October 26.
Beyonce’s baby belly has been the subject of much speculation since she first revealed it on the red carpet, and later on stage, at last month’s MTV VMAs. Three months along at the time, she seemed to be showing fairly early on. Rumors of a prosthetic bump were soon making the rounds.Recently during the taping of the Sunday night show, she appeared with a strangely shifting belly!!! Videos are doing the rounds on the Internet of that moment where it looks like her belly collapses!! We really can't speculate much about it personally, it just a weird thing so thought we'd just mention it!!!Yes, conspiracy theorists are claiming that Beyonce, who revealed on the program that she’s due in February, may be padding her belly in attempt to exaggerate her pregnancy. There have even been some who have questioned whether she’s expecting at all, suggesting she may be faking her pregnancy while a surrogate carries the baby – though these recent pics of Beyonce's bikini bump seem to put that extremely odd rumor to rest.!!! Guess she is just trying on a prosthetic to make her feel better about having a big round belly coz she probably doesn't show much even when she is 5 months along!!
Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley in the photo they posted on Twitter
On Saturday, both Warne, 41, and Hurley, 46, sent identical Tweets that read: "Thanks for all your congratulations. Here's a pic of us about to go to Dunhill dinner in St Andrews."
While neither the couple nor their reps have officially confirmed the engagement, a rep for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship put out a press release with the news.
"Shane Warne has confirmed his engagement to actress Elizabeth Hurley after proposing at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship," read the release.
The Daily Mail first reported the news and ran a photo online of her wearing a sizeable sapphire on her ring finger.
Lady Gaga is no stranger to extravagant fashion. The pop star has proven herself as one of fashion's biggest risk-takers, from lavish accessories like ten-inch Alexander McQueen stilettos to over-the-top gowns like the Armani Prive crystal encrusted hoop dress she donned at the 2010 Grammys. Known for her flamboyant style, it's no surprise that the songstress has now taken to bedazzling her teeth! The Sun reports that Gaga has ordered a set of marquise diamond that will be fitted in time for the Thierry Mugler fashion show in Paris at the end of the month.
Gaga's go-to jewelry designer, Rodrigo Otazu, confirmed the news, saying, "She'll be fitted with marquise diamonds." A source also told The Sun that while Gaga remains undecided on how many luxe choppers she will install, there is no doubt that her "dental bill will be as expensive as her jewelry bill."

I came across this article in people magazine and I just had to post it! I am a mom of 2 and I just find this whole concept of pageants for kids so wrong. Why are these mothers subjecting their little girls to such demeaning acts!! I just don't get it. They are taking it a bit too far. Why couldn't we all just be happy with the good old fancy dress competitions!i just hate it when I see parents parading their little girls in skimpy outfits!! kids should dress like kids and not like 23 year old bimbettes! I understand mothers love adorning their girls in some really opulent clothes, but fake teeth caps, false eyelashes and padding to give them assets is just plain sick!! Take a look and lemme know if you are as shocked as I am!!
For nearly three years, the hit TLC show Toddlers & Tiaras has captured the drama behind the scenes in the world of child beauty pageants. The tantrums were extreme, and the pre-show prep of spray tanning and eyebrow waxing seemed perhaps premature for little kids.
But in the last few weeks, as footage of 3- and 4-year-olds dressed in overly adult costumes (like Dolly Parton, complete with padded breasts, or Julia Roberts's streetwalker from Pretty Woman hit the airwaves, viewers and pageant skeptics have been expressing horror at an industry that is now accused of "sexualizing" young girls.
"Little girls are supposed to play with dolls, not be dolls," New York-based licensed clinical social worker Mark Sichel tells PEOPLE in its new issue, on newsstands now.
He adds that the extremes parents go to in order to prepare their children for competition – using padding, fake hair, flippers (faux teeth) and spray tans – "causes the children tremendous confusion, wondering why they are not okay without those things."
Now devoted pageant moms are speaking out in their own defense. Wendy Dickey, who dressed her daughter Paisley, 3, as Julia Roberts, tells PEOPLE the look was "tasteful and funny." Still, "If I knew there would be a reaction like this, I never would have used it," Dickey says. "Next time, she'll be dressed as an angel."
And Juana Myers, whose daughter MaKenzie has been featured on Tiaras, says unfair scrutiny has been placed on the pageant industry. "If this were a sport, no one would question it," she says. "This is her sport."
