WERQ that monkey dress, girl!
Chanel Spring 2011 CollectionMarie Claire UK April 2011 Issue

Darlings, after 2 solid days of red carpet crack, let's all take a breather (and by "all," we mean T and Lo) and just look at pretty pictures of a celebrity in non-cracky clothes. And we don't care what you say; that striped monkey Prada dress is FABULOUS and not cracky at ALL.
But first, actress noises:
"I didn’t like my body and I looked in the mirror and thought I was ugly because I didn’t look like a normal girl."
"I’m an actor," she pronounces. "I’m not a socialite. I’m playing a character, I’m playing versions of myself. For me, it’s important to be a chameleon."
[While shooting Mamma Mia! and dating British actor Dominic Cooper] "I miss London so much," she whispers. "Really. It’s bad. It’s not something that keeps me warm at night, for sure."
[On her relationship with Cooper] "Never date somebody who doesn’t live in your own country. It’s heartbreaking and confusing and it makes you go a little bit nuts. You don’t know where they sleep at night… You start second guessing everything."
As for the pics, we don't love them as much as the ones she did for Interview magazine, but there's a considerable difference Between Interview and Marie Claire. She's still striking and looks good on camera, though.

Another step closer to world domination.
If you've drooled over Christian Siriano's runway confections but bemoaned the fact that you can't afford them, darlings? We have good news. Christian has a new collection for Spiegel, described as, "twelve pieces. from an origami cocktail dress to an haute-couture-inspired suit." The collection will be available in April and you can pre-order pieces now if you're the impatient type. Prices range from $49 to $449.00.Let's take a look, shall we?
Nice. He managed to retain a lot of his runway aesthetic at this price point. Plenty of drama and ruffles, but scaled down to an average consumer level.
There's a video too:
So, what do the ladies think? Will you be saving your virtual pennies to snag yourself a piece of Siriano?

Speaking on Monday's episode of The View on ABC, Goldberg said that Franco and Hathaway failed to take charge of the awards show.
"You've got to get people who understand a live show," Goldberg said.
She added: "The first few minutes of that show is yours. You have to recognise two things. You have to recognise - like after Melissa Leo said [the f-word]... when things happen like that you have to be able to come and lift the audience out of their shock and move the show forward. I felt like last night there was no-one in charge."
The comedian continued: "I like James Franco a lot. I like Anne Hathaway a lot. But this is a show that, it's on you to keep it going. It's on you. You have to be able to surf in this show. And I didn't think they surfed as much as they could have."
Goldberg has hosted the Oscars four times.

Anne HecheWe can't tell if this is a dress or a jumpsuit. Either way, it gets a thumbs up just because this is the cleanest and most polished we've seen her look in a long time. She usually looks like she's been up for 72 hours in the same dress. However, if this IS a jumpsuit, then we might have to declare undying love because it's so very Ann-Margret in Tommy. If this IS a bell-bottomed jumpsuit, then we hope there were egg chairs at the party. If it's not, then good job, Celestia. Keep up the good work.
Ashley Fink She looks kind of cute and we appreciate some of the choices here, but it's a little schizo. The dress flatters her and looks good on her. We hope she doesn't think she has to wear black, because a rich color would play well off her pale skin. The thing is, this just isn't a dress that pairs well with ballet flats, especially with that gigantic necklace. There are looks you can put together for an event like this that will go quite well with flats, but this isn't one of them.
Bojana BarovicPretty and dramatic.
Cobie SmuldersBoring.
Garcelle Beauvais A standard dress, ramped up through the deployment of attitude and fierce hair. We can almost forgive the matching gold bag and shoes.
Jenna Ushkowitz This is the best she's ever looked on the red carpet. It's a skosh tight on her, though. Love the hair and makeup.
Jessica Lowndes Hate all these dresses with high waists and super short skirts. We suspect everyone thinks it makes the wearer look taller, but we just think it makes them look a little freakish.
Kelly Osbourne in Tony Ward Spring 2011 Couture A very pretty dress; a flawless look.
Lance Bass There's no reason he should be wearing a tux that large. Unless there's been dramatic developments in the waistline of America's Favorite Formerly Famous Gay Person of which we are unaware, he's not fat. He can work a more fitted look. This ages him.
Loretta Devine Oh honeybear, no. This has Lane Bryant written all over it. There are so many better ways to go for a lady of size, sweetie. Get yourself a chubby gay. He'll steer you right.
Maria Menounos The Morticia gowns are getting old.
Miranda Cosgrove in Z Spoke by Zac Posen Standard.
Nicole Richie in Halston Fall 2011This is pretty fierce. Nu Hollywood glam.
Niecy Nash The dress wouldn't bother us if it wasn't in that "eighties bathroom" peach, but the real story here is the makeup. She looks like she sneezed into a loaded powder puff. And then someone slapped her real hard on both cheeks.
Paz Vega in Giambattista Valli Resort 2011 What a weird dress. The top has nothing to do with the bottom. She looks like she's standing in a frilly barrel.
Ryan Kwanten More water here, please.
Serena Williams A relatively low-key, but kinda fabulous dress.
Erin Brady and Steven Tyler Considering how godawful Mick Jagger looked that night, we can't really fault Steven here. We kind of like her look. It's got the gaudy, rock and roll quality you want to have if you're attending Elton John's Oscar party as Steven Tyler's date.
Tori Spelling What the shit is this? Did Lauren Bacall send her a loaner for the night? Or did she snag this from the estate sale of Gloria Stuart?
Vanessa Hudgens in Marchesa The theme of this photograph is "generic."
