The Best Transformation of Stars

t In this collection of snaps you can see those hard working screen stars before and after they made big changes to their bodies. Think about what it would be like to lose 50lbs to get a part, or gain 30. You can work out to get bigger muscles and toned, but losing and gaining weight is real work.

Christian Bale lost about 70lbs in 3 months for the Machinist


Charlie Sheen built muscles for Hot Shots! Part Deux


Russell Crowe gained 63lbs for Body of Lies


Jake Gyllenhaal gained 25lbs of muscle for Jarhead


Ben Stiller build some muscles for Tropic Thunder

Being Heidi Montag

The fantastically funny Fug Girls squeezed themselves, regrettably, into Hills star Heidi Montag's new line, Heidiwood. Better them than us, I say. But better yet, better no one, as the F.G.s discovered. Hills-larity, of course, ensued.

My fave part:
"One of us wore black short-shorts with a one-inch inseam (half a thumb, for real) and a zebra-striped tank with a faux-chiffon back bow; the other, a white-denim, butt-cleavage-b

aring skirt with a backless teal top that's baggy in the bust and tight at the gut � perfect if you haven't eaten pasta in ten years and have ginormous implants (sound familiar?). The stuff was the complete opposite of flattering. We looked like rejects from Rock of Love II with Bret Michaels; stick us on the hood of a car and Whitesnake would've appeared, guitars in hand."

Read it and weep at The Cut.

The scourge of Crocs continues!!

Can't Child Protective Services take your kids away from you for lesser infractions?

Oh yeah, and speaking of Jennie Garth, there's a new 90210 coming, by the way. No word on whether the female cast members will be contractually obligated to wear Mom jeans.

My Trip To The Mall + Mary-Kate Olsen's Orange Wayfarers

A few weekends ago, I traveled down to my half-hometown of Virginia Beach. While down there, I stopped into Lynnhaven Mall with my sister, who wanted to check out the new Wii games. (My parents and I got her a Wii for Chanukkah and her birthday because we are collectively awesome.)

First of all, I must congratulate Lynnhaven Mall on doing an excellent job keeping up with the forward-march of time and integrating itself seamlessly into the 21st century. (For excellent stories and photos of abandoned malls, check out one of my favorite blogs, Labelscar, which tracks malls into their obsolescence, which is nostalgic and creepy and fascinating to me.)

Anyway, mid-mall, Easter Bunny photos were in full effect (some things never change -- as long as there are suburban shopping malls, there will be opportunities to sit on the laps of the Easter Bunny and/or Santa for an overpriced photo), and while we considered doing the stupid high-school-level ironic photo, we opted for an even more juvenile approach: standing in front of the Easter Bunny photo area and aiming for a photo. (Again, some things never change.)

The half-assed result, featuring my sister:

This all leads me to the fact that Lynnhaven Mall has a For Love 21, brought to you by the makers of Forever 21, except it's accessories-only, like a Claire's or Icing or whatever store you're probably a bit too old to shop at but you do anyway, like me.

So, I popped in and picked up these fun orange wayfarer-style sunglasses:

($5.80, Forever 21)

And then, lo and behold, who should I see traipsing and tramping about gay Paree but little ol' Mary-Kate Olsen herself, wearing a startling similar pair of orange sunnies!

Ugh. If I had a Euro for every time MK tried to waste my flavor!

Apparently hers are Benjamin Eyewear (more on that at FabSugar), by Benjamin Montoya, whose new line was featured in FOMK (friend of Mary-Kate) Jenni Kayne's S/S '08 Fashion Week show in New York and can run you up to $500, so looks like I saved a cool $494.50! How you like me now?

Should you indulge in a pair of Benjamins, might I suggest these great pair of clear ones, named after Jenni Kayne. They'll set you back about three and a half Benjamins:

($325, Benjamin, LeeLeeLunettes.com)

More cute retro sunglasses:

More of my wayfarer obsession:
+ Love Lily Allen's
+ Love Sienna Miller's
+ No love Paris Hilton's

Leggings By Lohan!

Look who's legging-ing! Per JustJared, Lindsay Lohan will be bringing her no-pants fashion sense to the willing-to-spend masses when she launches her own line of leggings. (Thanks to Chicago's Rustrick-On-That-Cool-Tip for the knowledge-based alert.)

So, is this the ultimate nail in the coffin for leggings, or is this a sign that they're not going anywhere? Or a sign of the impending apocalypse? And will they be as blindingly horbs as these corrupt monstrosities? And are you almost starting to consider Mom Jeans at this point?

And coming soon: Lindsay-branded coke spoons!?

Kat Von D = USA? No Way!

Dear God,
Please continue to bless the USA, but while you're at it, please pardon the overly patriotic sins of Kat Von D. Clearly she knows not what she does.

BatShit For Lashes

I actually think Bat For Lashes (nee Natasha Khan... she's a British singer-songwriter, who, to me, is a hybrid of Bjork and Goldfrapp) -- is a gorgeous girl. She looks like Lily Allen crossed with my friend Amelia. Anyway, here she was at the Brit Awards, and while I love the pink heels, that dress is doing nada for her. But, of greater concern is the Aladdin Sane make-up. I'm all for red carpet riskage, but this one's just... I don't know. I almost want to like it, but then I think better of it and reconsider. Because... Just... Eek! Why? Gah.
