I still think of Katherine Heigl as the girl I should have tried harder to secure a cover with, because she’s now huge in 2008. Prior to that, Katy came into conversation as she was a classmate of a Lucire team member, and I had probably seen Under Siege 2 more times than I should […]
Unpublished in 2007: Katharine McPhee, Diesel models
With less on the newswires today except for more Sarko and Bruni, we thought we’d put up a few of the unpublished images from our server. Here are two that didn’t make publication for one reason or another: American Idol’s Katharine McPhee (mentioned by Summer Rayne Oakes in Lucire 20) at a skin cancer benefit […]

On the blogs: a real story about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Spotted on Stevie Wilson’s LA-Story site: a video on the casting of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Yes, really: it’s from the show, rather than Heatherette two years ago (I see even the respectable Times of India has reported the Miranda Kerr–Paris Hilton non-incident with the wrong year and venue now). The show is […]
The Miranda Kerr v. Paris Hilton incident actually happened in 2005
Quite a few people will have caught the gossip that Miranda Kerr, the Australian model, was upset when Paris Hilton waltzed in to a Heatherette show in 2005 and chose a pink dress that Kerr was scheduled to wear on the catwalk. The organizers obliged and Kerr decided she would leave the matter to karma. […]
The Kin hit the Troubador with Josh Kelley and the Pat McGee Band
[Cross-posted] It’s not all the time I hit the clubs. There are musicians who can attest to that—mostly because of deadlines or time frames of when they are going on and the distance I have to drive. Recently the Kin toured with Josh Kelley and the Pat McGee Band for well over a month […]
Roberto Cavalli and H&M: the trans-Atlantic party season

Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen: the next actress of note?
I’m thinking ahead to 2008, as many folks in my shoes would. And I have had some thought about future celebs and who I wouldn’t mind securing for our pages. When Lucire editor Laura Ming-Wong chose Bruna Tenorio as one of our faces for 2008 in issue no. 24, I noticed that models and actresses […]
How to spot a fake pull letter
It came to my attention today that someone is going around New York with a stylist’s pull letter apparently signed by me. Thanks to a showroom rep who had excellent instincts, I was alerted. His words: ‘He was suspicious from the get go. I’m glad I check[ed] this out. I work with a few of […]
