Sexy Strass 100 Swarovski crystal peep-toe pumps

£1,995

Oh dear, what a curfuffle.. don't designers always copy each other and then the high street follows.. I know a lot of the high end stores stock both brands but live and let live and all that..I think it's all a bit silly but why didn't YSL just create an electric blue sole, that would of had the fashion crowd salvating with all the colour blocking and brights this season..

YSL have come back with the retort:
"Red outsoles are a commonly used ornamental design feature in footwear, dating as far back as the red shoes worn by King Louis XIV in the 1600s and the ruby red shoes that carried Dorothy home in The Wizard of Oz," court papers filed by YSL read. "As an industry leader who has devoted his entire professional life to women's footwear, Mr Louboutin either knew or should have known about some or all of the dozens of footwear models that rendered his sworn statement false."

In a lawsuit launched last month in New York, Louboutin is seeking damages of $1 million, which amounts to roughly 500 pairs  of the Sexy Strass 100 Swarovski crystal peep-toe pumps above, ( give a crystal or two)
from YSL which - Louboutin claims - has copied his signature coloured sole on "virtually identical" shoes.

Apparently the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Louboutin a trademark for the red sole in 2008, according to the complaint but if that's the case how are countless high street shoe shops producing and selling bright red soled shoes? I'm sure it's not because this is a points scoring exercise is it? Well, who knows? Who cares.. At the end of the day they're all going to go back to their gorgeous houses in their gorgeous shoes and probably toast each others ridiculously over-priced but free cocktails at some industry do or another.

Pammy gone Wammy in Liverpool

Poor Pamela Anderson has fallen prey to what can only be described as coat-with-no-knickers-fashion as she left the Empire Theatre. This look found fame a few years ago with the Likes of Britney and Paris Hilton making the rounds in LA, a far cry from freezing Liverpool.

Rather you than me Pammy!

Super-skinny Victoria Beckham get's tangoed in London

Victoria Beckham looked suppa, suppa skinny in a tangerine shift dress from her own collection as she left Claridge's in London earlier today following a luncheon where she previewed some of her new designs from her spring/summer 2011 collection - including bags, gowns and sunglasses, she headed to another event at the InterContinental Hotel.

Maybe Posh isn't as skinny as she looks and it's her Croydon facelift  and oversized statement DVB sunglasses that's doing it. Whatever she is too skinny or not the girl can work the colour orange, not an easy task by anyone's standards.

If you're brave enough try these out for size.. If  Mrs Beckahm is wearing orange I think it's time to sit up and take note.

Mango Dress

This Mango gorgeous  belted dress with a high round neck and chic short sleeves, fitted just enough to flatter but skims the body in all the right places. A simple dress with clean lines in this seasons hottest shade. A must have for every day style....

Hilary Alexander, the fashion critic for the Daily Telegraph, had earlier been at lunch at Claridge's with Victoria and reported on her blog that the former Spice Girl was feeling a little nervous about her Q&A session.

Kylie Minogue looking a bit like a puple quality street

Kylie Minogue left the George V Hotel in Paris in what can only be discribed as a luxurious shiny purple bathrobe dress. Kylie was probably off to a fancy Paris fashion party but she should of really looked in the Mirror before she left her suite.

I'm a massive fan of Kylie, really I am, but this girl needs A. a new stylist or B. a new best friend who'll be honest with her before she steps out the door.

Everything else about her looks polished as always, how does she remain looking so youthful? I doubt it's Ponds Cold Cream to be honest.

Kylie's been kept pretty busy of late, yesterday she performed on Radio 1's Live lounge accompanied by an  an eight-piece orchestra, two backing singers and a pianist.

I think her voice has gotten stronger over the years, I'm very excited about her new concerts in the new year,
it's called the “Kylie – Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour 2011.. how very exciting!

Cheryl Cole's New Book: Through Her Eyes but no mention of divorce or maleria

Cheryl's book is out onOkay, I understand that we should concentrate on the positives and leave all out negative experiences behind us but what is the point of Cheryl Cole releasing an autobiography if she doesn't actually tell us what we want to know about..

There's no mention of Cashley or maleria-gate, instead the book will concentrate on her relationships with Derek Hough and Will-I-AM, although how much real non-sugar-coated detail we'll get is questionable..

Cheryl's book is out on Thursday but you can pre-order yours here..if you really want to.

Disgusting Pete Doherty charged with cocaine possession..again

Scummy rocker Pete Doherty and his best friend Peter Wolfe have been charged with possession of cocaine after police investigated the suspected overdose death of heiress Robin Whitehead in London.

The 31-year-old Babyshambles star was charged with holding the class A substance when he answered bail at a central London police station.

He was one of four people arrested after the 27-year-old film-maker died from a suspected overdose on January 24. It has been claimed the star attended a party the previous night at a flat in Hackney, east London.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the star will appear at Thames Magistrates' Court alongside two other men on October 18 for sentencing.

Miss Whitehead, known as Robyn, had spent the last 10 days of her life filming a documentary about the singer who has battled with drugs. She was the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine.

The documentary film, The Road To Albion, focussed on Doherty's former band, The Libertines, as she spent a lot of time with the singer. Her website showed pictures of Doherty with his body encased in plaster, lying on a board in a crucifixion pose.

Miss Whitehead's mother, Dido Whitehead, is a cousin of Jemima Khan and Zac Goldsmith, and her father is 1960s filmmaker Peter Whitehead.

Hopefully this time Doherty will pay for his actions, he said at the time that he was "shocked and saddened  by the tragedy but hopefully he'll actually learn from it as well.

This is Not just another football shagger story, this is a David Beckham shagger story.

Becks told Now Magazine '[The allegations] that have been made are completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication,'

'We are taking legal action against the magazine.'

GAGA For president

It's office Lady Gaga is running for office.. not really but she is up in arms right now so we all had better listen to her or she might come after her with her dead meat costume.. Actualy this is quite a good cause for Americans to get involved with..

Lady Gaga has filmed this video plea to the US senate asking it to end the so-called 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' legislation which forces gay and lesbian servicemen and women keep their sexuality a secret or risk being discharged. 


She poses in front of a stars and stripes flag for the black-and-white, seven-and-a-half minute clip, in which she urges fans to contact their local senators, even handing out phone numbers and brandishing a mobile device. 


Gaga, 24, says: "I have called both of the senators that operate in my district. I will not stop calling until I reach them. I am here to be a voice for my generation. We are not asking you to agree with or approve the moral implications of homosexuality. We're asking you to do your job - to protect the constitution. Ultimately the law is being enforced by using gay profiling and gay soldiers have become targets. Not only is the law unconstitutional, but it's not even being properly or fairly enforced by the government." 


She posted the video on Twitter..


Watch the video here..

Lady Gaga has lots of power in the US, hopefully it's enough to change things..
