Lady Gaga Telephone Video featuring Beyonce is a homage to prison chick flicks

Grindhouse girls go Gaga glam in new video

Love that Lady Gaga's new "Telephone" video featuring Beyonce is more of short prison chick flick in a glam grindhouse style rather than actual music video.

After watching the "Telphone" video-- which has its television premier tonight, but we have the video below-- it's hard not to recall pop culture references that are somewhere between Quentin Tarantino and Michael Jackson's "Thriller," with some Divine inspiration too.

And, that's the genius of Lady Gaga, she knows how to throw it all in the pot and have it come out fresh and her own. Plus, adding Beyonce to the mix, is pure kismet.

Jennifer Garner wears polished Mommy clothes

March 01, 2010

Jennifer Garner at the the Milk + Bookies First Annual Story Time Celebration in Los Angeles

I'll Have What She's Having: What to wear to the playground? An easy mom uniform that works.

What's really amazing about Jennifer Garner is that she looks so normal when off the red carpet.

We spotted her at the Milk + Bookies First Annual Story Time Celebration in Los Angeles event and although her outfit is far from exciting it does have the right polished element to make any busy mom's day at the playground wardrobe work: a shrunken blazer.

Kristen Stewart in The Runaways get the rocker look

February 26, 2010

Kristen Stewart playing Joan Jett in the new film, "The Runaways"

New production still of Kristen Stewart from "The Runaways"

It's hard to not have a girl crush on rock and roll legend Joan Jett.

And, for a new generation, it's hard to not be in love with Kristen Stewart.

When we got our hands on this brand new movie still of Kristen in "The Runaways," we had to share it with you. But then we were thinking that if you loved Joan Jett from the get go, it was time to take the 70's/80's rock band vibe up a bit with some big girl glam.

Alice + Olivia Long Crystal Chain Necklace at Shopbop

So, why not try a Bop Basics Short Sleeve V Neck Burnout T-Shirt that still has the tight rocker look but a little more sheer and sexy? Ditch your bra if you can.

Instead of found and curated tons of silver charms and chains, try a more designer version like the Alice + Olivia Long Crystal Chain Necklace... we love this necklace and can think of sooo many ways to wear it and instantly update our wardrobe.

>> Did you remember to SHOP today?

You might want to get a punked out shag, some eyeliner, and maybe a black Fender Standard Stratocaster and a few solid years of guitar lessons. Or try some air guitar in your bedroom first while wearing your old school but suddenly sexy black hipster briefs.

Don't forget the rock and roll attitude... you'll love it!
