Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™: Two instances of bad blood among celebrities.

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 4 July 2011

The low rent Examiner has two sets of pictures of people who just don't like each other. First set of combatants are Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart. Their animosity has been tabloid fodder before this.

And welcome to gossip hell, Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. The supermarket rags have left Hulk alone, though other gossip sources online have mocked him mercilessly for marrying a woman that looks waaaay too much like his daughter. This story is more about the Ultimate Warrior talking trash about what Hulk did when people actually cared about either of them.

Weekly World News alert: Dead cat's ghostly warning saves dying tot!

Publication: Weekly World News (via the Sun)
Date: 4 July 2011

Two stories this week from the Weekly World News, which is the first time since the beginning of last year they were allowed two headlines on the cover of the Sun. As you can read, the ghost of a dead cat saved a dying tot.

For the most part, living cats pretty much avoid tots, dying or otherwise, because these small humans do not understand the concept of "can opener". But if we believe this story, when cats become ghosts they evolve into more loving creatures with a deep regard for all living things.

In other words, when cats reach the next step in karmic consciousness, they become dogs.

[Video] Violetta Parisini

Vienna, Austria. I've always waited for the perfect moment to introduce Violetta Parisini to you. Now, I can't wait anymore. By reason that this artist is utterly my most favourite musician. All of her songs are brilliant. The lyrics and melodies are catchy and enchanting. And when she's performing, you can feel her passion for her music. This build up a great atomsphere in the venue. I'm very glad that I've seen Violetta Parisini in Munich this year. It was the best concert I've ever seen.

At the moment she's working on a new album. And I'm looking forward to it. But now I let you enjoy this cutout of her gig - it's a new song - at BAWAG Contemporay on 22nd June in Vienna. Check out also her latest album "Giving You My Heart To Mend" (purchase via Amazon, iTunes, Nokia Music Store).

Designer Dish on Salvatore Ferragamo

Although he's been gone for over a half a century, Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo will always be known for his outrageous shoe designs, as pictured here with this pair of 1938, stacked, multi color platform sandals that were actually about forty years ahead of their time being that they could have easily be mistaken for styles we've seen worn circa 1970.

At the height of his career, his shoe designs were worn by Hollywood royalty such as Audrey Hepburn and he was considered to be the 'shoemaker to the stars'.  What set him apart from the many other up and coming designer competitors was his ability to custom make a shoe that felt just as good as it looked on the wearer.  He could fashion a shoe to fit any foot, just as well as a tailor could custom a suit.

Ferragamo or rather, the design house of the late Ferragamo has always been considered a family ran business being that it has been handed down from generation to generation and although shoes, belts and bags have always been at the forefront of the store front, around 1980 they began incorporating clothing into their mix of merchandise with their reputable designer label however, shoes will always be their mainstay.  Recently they showcased their 'Women's Resort 2012 Collection' featuring new designs of shoes and bags with a 'geared toward going on a vay kay' vibe & it was said that some notable ladies of Tinseltown made an appearance at the event such as Eva Mendez & Minka Kelly to stake dibs on their select fave pieces...

Given the past rich history of the Ferragamo line of extraordinary shoe designs, I am personally not very hooked on the Resort Collection.  I feel it's a bit muted/tame in comparison to what I've seen from decades ago which is now considered 'Vintage Ferragamo'....

Kate and Pippa Middleton: "Sizzler Sisters"?

Pippa Middleton

Hello! magazine reported that Pippa and Kate Middleton have earned themselves a enduring nickname from British society commentators: the "Sizzler Sisters."

The pair have gotten the nickname from Tatler because of their quick rise to the top of the heap of British society, earning them what Hello! dubs "social cachet."

Kate and Pippa Middleton

The reason for Kate's quick climb up the social ladder is obvious: her ongoing romantic relationship with Prince William, whom she met while the two were studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Kate's sister, Pippa, has also developed her own network of upper-crust social contacts. She dated wealthy JJ Jardine Patterson, heir to a Hong Kong banking fortune, for several years. More recently, her rumored romantic partner has been George Percy, heir to the dukedom of Northumberland.

Pippa works for a party planning company in London, and was photographed by Hello! with Trudie Styler (wife of Sting) at the Royal Parks charity gala last week.

The sizzling nickname is reportedly not the only one the sisters have garnered in the past. The Daily Mail wrote in 2007 (during William and Kate's brief separation period) that the girls were also called "The Wisteria Sisters" by some -- because "they're highly decorative, terribly fragrant and have a ferocious ability to climb."
