Run, run as fast as you can … to the nearest newsstand to get the Dec. 5, 2011, issue of Life & Style. Why? Because you have to keep up with Kim Kardashian‘s divorce, of course. Then there’s the Ashton Kutcher/Demi Moore divorce. But, more importantly, you can see my swear rings on page 53!…

Pretty People at the CPJ Dinner
So much happened at Tuesday’s International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists, that it has taken me three posts to cover it. My first post was about the vintage gown I wore. The second post was about CPJ’s mission and the dinner’s awardees. Now it’s back to the lighthearted stuff: party…
What Wendy Wore: Kid Rock at the Beacon Theatre
Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid…
Important Health Tip From Courtney Love
October — aka National Breast Cancer Awareness month, aka The Month That Ruins the Color Pink for Me by Associating It With Disease and Death — is over, but that doesn’t mean we should stop obsessing about the health of our boobs. As we all know, breast self-examinations are a great idea … or not…
The Truth About Success
I got a kick out of this illustration that gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted sent me. (I’ve seen this, uncredited, all over the Internets.

Throwback Musical Fashions From the Jacksons … and Rihanna?
In 2010, a year after singer Michael Jackson’s death, his family launched the J5 Collection. J5 stands for the Jackson 5 — the family musical group that launched Michael, who ultimately went on to much bigger stardom. The website describes the “collection” as “a unique celebration of The Jacksons achievements as an international mega group.” …
Drawing the Line at the Cutout Herve Leger Dress
Since 2009, the highlarious and sometimes just plain high Michael K of the gossip blog Dlisted has been covering the Herve Leger monstrosity that he calls The Slut Dress. The black bandage dress with cutouts — there’s a “nude” lining under the cutouts — has been worn on the red carpet and/or to the opening…
Sucks to Be Kelly Clarkson
Last Sunday’s New York Times had an article about singer Kelly Clarkson called “Kelly Clarkson, a Pop Star Proud in Her Own Skin.” It looked at how fans identify with Clarkson not just because of her powerful voice and stand-up-for-yourself lyrics but also because of her habit of “dismissing withering criticism of her weight.” Courtney…
I’m Here to Help You, Kim Kardashian!
Like a lot of small-business owners, I spend my free time sitting at the bar, telling my friends and random winos that my career would be MADE if only a huge celebrity bought something from me. Well, I think my overnight success must be nigh because Kim Kardashian‘s 72-day marriage is over and who should…
Minx by Tracylee Percival, Medici Poison Ring by WendyB
My latest Minx manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival is called “Japanese Blossoms.” It’s a teal Minx design with birds and flowers that is layered over gold Minx. (What’s Minx? Click here and here for more information.) In the photo, I’m wearing my Medici poison ring. Lindsay Lohan bought one of my Medici rings in…
