Miley Cyrus Not allowed to hang out with Ashley Greene

Miley Cyrus Ashley Green
Miley Cyrus is actually allowed to hang out with Ashley Greene. Representative for the "Can't Be Tamed" hitmaker has slammed down rumor suggesting she has been banned from spending time with her "LOL: Laughing Out Loud" co-star, telling Gossip Cop the story "simply not true" and the two actresses can spend time together "as much as they wish."

It was Heat magazine that brought up the rumor of the hanging-out ban in the first place. At the time, the mag claimed that the 17-year-old songstress has been discouraged from developing any friendship with the "Twilight Saga" beauty because her people are keen on keeping what is left of her "teen-dream" image.

A source told the mag, "When Miley was out with Taylor Swift, Taylor's friends thought Miley was too crazy. Now Miley's being protected from Ashley." The insider further revealed that 23-year-old Ashley's partying ways was the actual reason behind the ban. "Ashley always wanted to party," the source said, before mentioning that it affected her relationship with Kellan Lutz.

Miley Cyrus comfortable with her own skin

Miley Cyrus
Friends of Miley Cyrus have spoken out to deny rumours that the star is set to go under the knife and have a boob job.

"It's absurd. Miley has never even considered it. She's always been very comfortable in her own skin." said the friend.

Miley, who is currently filming 'LOL' with Demi Moore, is said to find the rumours hilarious and believes that she is far too young for the plastic surgery.

fabulous designs to achieve success as a fashion designer,

but you can break into this career much more quickly and easily

Yes ladies and gents, I too am big in the land of Lederhosen and motorways with no speed limit, as on Thursday I was the top story on Modepilot – Germany’s top Fashion blog. Now my German’s not brilliant (B at GCSE, really should have been an A, but I digress….), but I do know that the lovely Kathrin Bierling has said that I’m her New Favourite Blog! It’s all thanks to the massively talented and utterly fabulous Stefan Lindemann – Fashion Editor of German InStyle, and ex-Shopping Editor (a title I’d like die for) at Grazia (UK). Stefan was my first ever Fashion mentor, and taught me everything I know about Chanel and Dim Sum (i.e. Chanel has to be earned, and it’s almost impossible to eat Dim Sum if you keep Kosher). So, in honour of Stefan, Kathrin, and my legions of German fans here’s my top 5 German Fashion/ Style icons….

5. Hugo Boss - So, their involvement in the manufacture of Black uniforms for the Third Reich isn’t exactly ideal, but who hasn’t at some point (most probably in their teens, and as part of a Boots gift set) owned a Hugo Boss fragrance? On that basis alone I feel the mega-brand deserves 5th place in my German hall of fame.

4. Jil Sander – It’s not something that comes particularly naturally to me (ok – so I find it almost impossible –blame it on the big boobs), but Jil Sander is undoubtedly the Queen of Minimalism. If what you’re looking for is a brilliantly cut piece with like no bling and shit, then Jil’s ya lady.

3. When it comes to style icons very few people would argue that Marlene Dietrich is up there. Way way ahead of the game Marlene was doing the whole androgynous thing before anyone knew what it was, and famously said, "I dress for myself. Not for the image, not for the public, not for the fashion, not for men” – my kinda lady!

2. Diane Kruger – I mean, does she ever look bad?! I just have such a monumental style crush on her it’s not even funny. Kruger has a body to die for (she’s an ex-model, so fairs fair), and a wardrobe I’d kill for. In my eyes she always manages to walk the fine line between on-trend and fashion slave, and it always looks so god darn effortless. God – if I didn’t love her so much I’d hate her!

1. Storming in at 1st place is the one and only Karl Lagerfeld - in my opinion the best thing to come out of Germany since the Black Forest Gateau (and I can tell you that takes some beating). Captain of the good ship Chanel isn’t something that’s just given away, and I think if the fashion world is united in one thing (other than it’s love of stick-thin models and fur) then it’s that Lagerfeld is worthy of the crown. I’d always been a fan, but it was only after I saw that documentary film Lagerfeld Confidential (if you haven’t seen it yet – go do so) that the obsession began and I really came to realise and admire his genius. Even If Germany never again produces a Fashion designer the German fashion fraternity can forever rest smug in the knowledge that they gave the world Karl.

On the Street....Thea, New York

Isn't it so refreshing to see a sixteen year-old dressed like this?

I didn't immediately know if I wanted to take this shot. While I was deciding I thought about my own daughters and realized it would be nice for them to see a young lady ,that is obviously very cool, dressed like this instead of the constant media parade of Britneys and Lindsays. This is the anti-"Jersey Shore" (I mean the show not the actual place)

On the Street....Mr. Zegna, Milano

On the Street....Fabrizio, Milan

Fabrizio is one of the few men I know that can pull-off a club collar shirt. On him it looks so normal.

I also love the military tie-tuck, that's something we just don't see enough of these days

On the Street......All About the Shades, Florence

Miley Cyrus spent $24,000 on hair

Miley Cyrus spent $24,000 on hair
Just recently, teen pop singer Miley Cyrus opted to forgo her long hair extensions for the look here. Now, she’s gone and spent thousands on getting her long hair back.

Reportedly, Miley spent $24,000 just on getting her hair just the way she wants it. According to a source, “Miley bought the best hair possible, and then had it dyed to match hers exactly. Her hair is an investment.”

For that amount of dough, is it any surprise that Miley reportedly had the extensions flown in from Italy to New York? She then had them delivered to hairstylist Kristina Barricelli at New York City’s expensive Gemini 14 salon (which also services Brandi Irwin, the woman who spends $47,000 per year on her hair). From there, Miley’s new hair — and her hairstylist — were flown to L.A., where it was put on.

Miley Cyrus Proud likes to get compared with Britney spears

miley cyrusMiley Cyrus has revealed she took Katy Perry's labelling of her as 'Britney Spears all over again' as a compliment.

The California Gurls singer is alleged to have made the comment backstage at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto last month, Life & Style reports.

'She's definitely headed the Britney route. It's worse. Look at those outfits. It's bad,' Perry is alleged to have said about the Can't Be Tamed performer.

Reflecting on the comparison the Hannah Montana star said: 'I try to look at everything in my life as positive. So I can either look at it and say it's negative, and look at the things she's done wrong, and say, 'How can someone compare me to her?'' Hollywood Life reports.

The 17-year-old performer went on to explain she was not upset by Perry’s description because she chose to reflect on Spears' many successes.

'I could be the positive person and look at all the amazing history that she's made, and the things that she’s accomplished,' Cyrus said.

Teen star Miley Cyrus was caught unawares as some paparazzi photographed her locked in a passionate kiss with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.


The `Hannah Montana` star was spending some private time with Hemsworth in Paris and were snapped kissing while strolling along the Champ-Elysees on Thursday evening, Aceshowbiz reported.

This is not the first time the 17-year-old star was caught on camera despite her denying rumours of dating Hemsworth. They were seen another day walking hand-in-hand and cuddling.

Even as the reported photos have made their way all over the web, neither Cyrus nor her Australian have bothered to make a confirmation regarding the state of their relationship.

Cyrus has been romantically linked with the 19-year-old actor since they shot their upcoming drama flick "The Last Song" earlier this year.

On the Street....West 24th Street, New York City

On the Street....Francesco Clemente, Bond Street, New York City

This was the first time, in a long time, I was really nervous to ask someone for their photo.

I have always loved Francesco Clemente's work and his personal style (notice the frayed sleeve of his well-worn linen jacket). For me, he is a real icon of the New York art scene.

Here is a link to a great interview he did with Charlie Rose. I love what he says about "boredom" and "waiting" playing a huge role in the creation of art. As a street photographer I understand exactly what he's talking about.

Can I Have My Gourmet Magazine Back?

Ok, this was funny for a while, but the joke is over. I want my Gourmet magazine back!

Come on Conde Nast, don't you think you overreacted pulling the plug on Gourmet so quickly? Not only was it my favorite food magazine, but it was also my favorite travel magazine. I not only wanted to eat the food but I also wanted to go to that place and meet those people.

To make matters worse the archives of Gourmet are either so buried in the Epicurious website or they are gone completely. The only element that is still easy to find are the recipes. If that's all they thought was worth holding onto then they didn't realize what they had in the first place.

How about this Conde Nast: if Gourmet was pulled as a reaction to the economic crisis then can we set a Dow number that will mark the immediate and simultaneous re-introduction of Gourmet? Let's say at 11,000 we go quarterly and at 13,000 we are a monthly again!!

All kidding aside....I'm serious....bring back my magazine.

This Collar Brings Back Memories, Florence

This type of shirt collar reminds me of my first Armani way back when I was in high school around 1985ish.

It had the same type of snap collar detail, but mine was in a beautiful grey/white/red stripe. I asked my Mom to buy it for me for Christmas from LS Ayres (luckily it was on sale), and after a month of begging it was under the tree on Christmas Day.

I loved that shirt SO much that I didn't dare unwrap it from the orignal packaging until around March! It took a while after that before i could actually start wearing it. Just between you and me, I think I still have that same shirt in storage back at my Mom's place.

It's great to have such fond memories of a first "designer" piece of clothing. They say "clothes don't make the man/woman" but that passion I had (and still have) certainly shaped the course of my future.
