Katy Perry as Katwoman?

Singer Katy Perry, known for wearing little more than her retro skivvies (on and off stage), has decided to cover up! But does it count when it's hot pink leopard spandex?

We think she looks like a cross between Malibu Barbie and Halle Berry's Catwoman. Maybe she's vying for a turn as the sexy, whip-wielding superheroine. If so, it's much less humiliating than Sean Young's desperate attempt in the early '90s to secure the role -- it backfired, big time. Or it could just be that KP wants to show Barbie who's bubblegum boss. Heads up Ken, there could be a new Gotham girl in town!

Who knew we'd be longing for the return of her pinup girl rompers so soon?!

So just how does a birthday party for the legendary lady named Barbie go down? And how do you get a stay at the Malibu Dream House®?

Longest Finger Nails In The World - Funny home videos are a click away

Olga Kurylenko - 'Quantum of Solace' Barbie StyleFoul

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Olga Kurylenko
We totally understand the appeal of this dress, but we feel like we've seen it before ... perhaps on our Barbie when we were kids. But maybe that's exactly what Olga Kurylenko loved about it -- it's super feminine and very, very "Movie Star." A style like this takes glamor to a whole new level.

(Does she live up to the real thing? Click the image to see more photos, and other real life Barbies)

Lots of little girls love Barbie, and wish they could grow up to be like her. But hardly any of them take it to the lengths of Englishwoman Sarah Burge. Of course, most little girls don't have £540,000 to spend on plastic surgery, either.

We heart Barbie parts jewelry on Etsy - Daily obsession

Filed under: Accessories, Daily Obsession

We used to think that wearing body parts as jewelry was reserved for serial killers -- but that was before we came across this awesome Barbie parts jewelry. If you look closely, you might notice something kind of familiar about this heart pendant. Give up? It's Barbie's chesticles -- and don't even pretend that you never checked out a naked Barbie. A seller on Etsy is selling these highly unique heart pendants that feature a Barbie bust, encased in a sterling silver setting.

Perhaps the coolest second coolest part (it's kind of a toss up) about this pendant is that with each purchase, a $5 donation is made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to find a cure for breast cancer. Not only that, but the hearts are available in three skin tones: vanilla, butterscotch, and chocolate. There's actually a whole lineup of Barbie-inspired jewelry available from this artist. Some pieces are a bit more disturbing than others -- like these creepy Barbie hand earrings.

Hollywood's most famous make-up artists honored with Walk of Fame star

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style

While you might not be familiar with the Westmore family by name, you're most definitely familiar with their work, and it's their artistry in make-up that has earned the Westmores the 2,370th star on the Walk of Fame.

A Walk of Fame spokesperson said, "The Westmores not only created, but they defined the role of make-up artists in Motion Pictures. George Westmore opened the very first make-up department at Selig Studios in 1917." Members of the family were responsible for the signature looks of stars like Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, and even Barbie.

eBay WTF of the Day: Angelina Jolie doll gives us the creeps!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Girl Interrupted?
Holy Jolie. This is the creepiest look-alike doll we've ever seen. Artist Noel Cruz stripped the factory makeup off a regular doll and painted it to look exactly, exactly like Angelina Jolie.

The clothes cost extra. The clothes cost extra!

The doll went for £2,000 to a private bidder. (Surprse, surprise.)

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Skin Care


You know how hot weather can change the way your shoes fit? Well, we're in the middle of a heat wave, and our favorite bright orange shoes went from fitting like slippers to having little sharp teeth on the insides of the heels.

Can you say ouch?

Naturally this happened while we were out for the day, meeting two different friends with a good long walk through a museum in the middle. We had miles to go before our rest.
