Where In The World Is Amy Winehouse

It has been ages since we've heard from her. Last we heard, she was completely plastered, bombed her show in Belgrade and ended up canceling the rest of her Europe tour afterwards to 'focus on her recovery'. Fine, but where in the world are you being rehabbed? It can't be in London, cuz thats where you live. Maybe she's headed back to St. Lucia, she went a drug replacement program there for six months in early 2009 and seemed to be on the mend. Or maybe she's back at Tommy Hilfiger's estate on the Grenadine island Mystique, where she first stayed in Summer 2007. Hmm...either way we hope Amy can finally find the light in her recovery this time around. 
Maybe she needs a new love in her life or she should adopt a child or something life changing. We really need some new tunes from you, Amy. We miss hearing you voice and watching all your (coherent) live performances. What's happening to you? At least we are slightly satisfying our anglo-obsession through Adele and Coldplay. Get well soon though Amy! 

Myspace Revival?

Can Justin Timberlake really do it? The stweets are a buzz with news that the popstar joined forces with a California firm and purchased Rupert Murdoch's stake in Myspace on Friday for $35 million (previously valued at $560 million, ouch). The word on the stweet is that JT plans to hold a talent search sometime in the fall to revitalize the site.
You know on Wednesday a few days before this new broke, I randomly thought about Myspace and went to the site. It didn't look like how I remembered it four or five years ago; its definitely revamped and more organized. Though it does seem to be geared more towards musicians, actors, movies and TV series which makes sense. If I was JT and team, I would use that aspect of Myspace, revamp, develop it further and exploit the hell out of it. What do you think? Would you buy into this new Myspace? Take a look and see.

Remember Now by Karl Lagerfeld

So Karl is an absolute genius as the Creative Director for Chanel and at the helm  of Fendi and his self titled label. In the last few years, he has created small films which are filled with beautiful women, mysterious storylines and intrigue. So here is the two-part mini documentary called Remember Now. Its based in Saint Tropez and all the main characters are dressed in Chanel. Its pretty cool check it out; we love short films because they are that, short and sweet.



We love the mystery and intent of the characters throughout the film and how well its flows. Its also very cool to see what's going on inside Karl's head because he has such a big impact on Fashion.

Pressure (Alesso Remix)

New music! I got addicted to this song as soon as I heard it the other day. Also I found an even better remix called the Alesso Remix. The song is by Alex Kenji, Starkillers and Nadia Ali, and will definately help you get ready for a good night out or couple nights. It just gets you in the mood. Enjoy.

Elle Fanning The New Face of Marc Jacobs

Breakthrough actress and little sister of Dakota, Elle Fanning is the new face of Marc by Marc Jacobs. You can catch her in the latest Spielberg & JJ Abrams flick Super 8
She looks so much like her sister in these photos, and she's clearly taken on her acting skills. Keep your eye on this one, we love seeing celeb siblings out there. The apple never falls far from the tree. Big sister Dakota is also repping Marc Jacobs as the face of his new scent Oh Lola.

Beyonce "The Year of 4"

First off, we love love love when musicians or actors do mini-documentaries because it gives us such a fresh perspective and personal look into their lives and creative process, but also it reminds you that they are regular human beings. In this mini-doc Beyonce talks about the year she took off to make her new album and how important it was for her to take a break, the challenges she faced and what she learned the most. 



What we loved the most is that we got to see a personal side of Beyonce, which I don't think we've seen since her Destiny's Child days. She works really hard on this album and she took an amazing amount of creative control this time around. Very Nice.

Mary Kate and Ashley Launch StyleMint

Mary Kate & Ashley have no doubt been fashion stalwarts, which is why its no surprise they have launched their own fashion-centered venture called StyleMint. The concept is interesting; so members join, pay a monthly fee and fill out a personal style preference. Then twins will design and send you one t-shirt per month according to your style profile. Seems like a nifty business concept however it would have been nicer to see the range of clothing rather than just t-shirts. Also I'm not getting the best feel for their target market since they typically market to tweens. Is this something you would buy into? Check out this video from stylemint.com that will answer any further questions you might have. Cheers.

Katy & Russel Take An NYC Stroll

Funny man Russel Brand and his popstar wife Katy Perry took a leisurely bike stroll in NYC on Friday. According to the Daily Mail, hours after performing for a stop in her tour in Canada, she jetted back to New York to be with her hubby. How stweet. Sweet! They are also diligent tweeters.
