LoHo Rides Again!

LoHo is back! Chances for red Black Friday are high.

So sweet: LoHo was in Manhattan to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, group therapy, and new AA beau (Riley Giles) whom she met in rehab.

She and uber parents Dina and Michael, along with sister Ali (eating disorders to follow) bought goodies at Armani Exchange and Intermix while the new BF slept. Sleep? Why you ask? Well, he was out partying all week without Mizz LoHo. Sounds like a great guy and a wonderful influence.

The Tea Room thinks this one is a keeper!

Sign a Cheerleader, Save Dooney and Bourke

Hero Hayden Panettiere will be the new face of Dooney and Bourke.

Following in the footsteps of Mischa Barton, LoHo and Emma Roberts, whe will launch her modeling career in December.

She and designer Peter Dooney have created the limited edition Hayden Bag, a large leather shoulder bag with puffy pleats and buckle closure.

Sounds like an original design.

LoHo's Fast Food Role

TV's Ugly Betty may have a three-episode deal with LoHo starring as an assistant manager of the fast food chain that Betty's dad works at. Finally a role that LoHo can sink her teeth into! The Tea Room is happy that LoHo will be earning a paycheck again, retail needs her spending infusion before the holidays.

LoHo's 2005 black Mercedes SL-Class up for grabs

The Tea Room was wondering why we hadn't been sipping tea and listening to LoHo tid bits lately when this charming piece of news arrived with our canapes:

LoHo's 2005 black Mercedes SL-Class is for sale on Ebay. This is the car that was attacked by a horrible tree that jumped in front of her last May. Of course the accident had nada to do with her being high as a kite on drugs.

The car is going for a very reasonable starting price of $115,000.

And with only days until Christmas ...

Old Friend of the Whorehouse Celebrates a Birthday!

WWD.com

Once upon a time, Whorehouse Press Pimps I.M. and D.W. toiled away in Eleanor Lambert's office on such clients as Tiffany & Co., Fernando Sanchez, Joan & David (the shoes people!), all while fondling the gorgey jewels of Verdura.

In celebrating its 70th anniversary this month, Verdura is releasing a limited edition piece, the Icon Bracelet, which is an homage to founder Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura, known as Fulco di Verdura. The style is a combination of Verdura's most popular charms on its rope chain and only 100 will be produced, each featuring the signature V logo, Verdura seashell, wrapped heart, comedy and tragedy mask, Maltese Cross and chessman.

There is also a retrospective exhibition "Verdura: The Life and Work of a Master Jeweler," beginning November 16th at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

Hmmm ... should the Whorehouse go for a celebrity product placement on Loho?

Retailers Cut 6,500 Jobs. Loho's fault.

More economic bad news, Media Whores:

The Tea Room overheard that U.S. department and specialty stores have cut a combined 6,500 jobs just last month!

Could this be a direct effect of Paris, Loho, Nicole and Britney being too wasted to shop?

Stylist to the Stars Rachel Zoe Walks the Line

LoHo, Nicole Richie & Rachel Zoe

Yes Rachel, you are credited with shrinking Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton to super-waifdom. But your magic behind the scenes became controversial, taking you from Press Pimp to Media Whore seemingly overnight. Big mistake! Press Pimps HATE when other Pimps shine the spotlight on themselves. Case in point is the following excerpt from WGSN. Rachel, the Tea Room wants you to take a long vacation and re-emerge at a later date.

From WGSN.com ...

Come in RACHEL ZOE, your time is up... Fresh from this brilliantly ill-advised statement during New York Fashion Week - "ANNA WINTOUR is one of my heroes, but they say I'm more influential... As great as it is, Vogue won't change a designer's business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week" - the diminutive stylist is feeling the burn... Page Six reports that Zoe has been unceremoniously dumped by her agency Magnet. Oops. And here's Rach's official statement: "I left Magnet because I am now repped solely by TODD SHEMARYA for styling and branding. I love Magnet, and there is no drama surrounding it." Right... But we much prefer this one, from an agency snitch. "They didn't want to anger Anna and Anna is more important to work with."
