Calling All Stylists..

Emmy Award Report: Hey Hayden Panettiere! Aren't you like 17 years old? Why is that cute little bod stuck inside a hot air balloon? You need to channel some of your superpowers into finding yourself a Media Whore-worthy dress. Vanessa Williams provided a much-need service at the Emmys; she was able to wash some dusty limos by twisting left and right really fast. Debra Messing, you take yourself so seriously! Is there a little wind up underneath that gown? There's a posse of 4-year-old girls that wants to put you on the top of their jewelry box and watch you spin around.

On To London Fashion Week

Not ... Not ... Not ... Hot! Elle Macpherson knows her stuff. We have to do a little fact-checking but the Tea Room is 99% sure that Elle is 43 years old. Wow! She has the checklist down cold: She looks a little slutty - jazzing up her fugly Burberry Fashion for Relief T-shirt with the sexy black waffle underneath; her hair looks incredible AND she still flashes that million dollar smile. Jodie Kidd, Naomi Campbell and Yasmin Le Bon just look washed up.

Pam Anderson Arrives at MTV Music Awards at Palm Casino Resort

Thank God for Pam Anderson. Do we even care about the good looking guy she's with? Again with the age factor: This over 40-year-old Media Whore Hall of Famer never lets us down, always looking sufficiently slutty and eager to please with her big, toothy smile. We hope to have Pam as a Tea Room special guest some day... til then, we will survive with photos like these!

Andrew Borrok and Mischa Barton

Mischa, did mom give you her old tablecloth as the frock du jour? Boy is that UGLY! We don't care if yellow is the new black, yellow is definitely NOT your color. We hear you can cut up tablecloths into nice dishtowels & sell to Anthropologie...

Andrew Borrok Wins Media Whore of The Week Award!

Thanks to first-rate Press Pimp Norah Lawlor, Andrew I’m-so-rich-I-Need-To-Be-Famous Borrok wins the very first Media Whore of The Week Award! Andrew’s latest hit was when The New York Post called him “The Jay Gatsby-ish bachelor – who made a fortune in real estate.” The Norah/Andrew Strategy: Throw party after party at Andrew's Hampton’s house, thus ensuring that this tireless Media Whore will be hot enough to make a big splash with a new French restaurant he plans to open downtown.

Speaking of splash, Andrew's most recent house party treated guests to his pool water dyed Barney-purple (look closely at photo above), though it was intended to look like wine in honor of pal Lorraine Bracco’s new label. Some guests actually thought they were at a Crayola test site. But don’t laugh … all of Andrew’s efforts - in the form of huge cash payouts to Norah - have paid off: He’s capped his publicity success with an article in this Sunday’s Styles Section of the New York Times AND has a new Playboy model on his arm!

BACKSTAGE AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: "Why are you looking at me while I'm doing her hair?"

"Seriously, why are you looking at me?"

Name That Celebrity

On the left... no, it's not Britney without her wig on, it's Mena Suvari, backstage with designer Amir Slama. On the right ... nope, that's not Carni Wilson with long hair. It's Daisy Fuentes! Back to the Media Whores' Handbook for both these gals. Mena: Long, flowing hair will get your career back on track, NOT the dikey do. Daisy: The maternity smock is NOT a crowd pleaser during Fashion Week. Remember, a little slutty goes a long way!

I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt

photo: John Perez

I'm able to charge top dollar now (I don't get out of bed for less than $15K), yet I look older than 18 which is Cardinal Sin #1 for a runway model. Ugh, those bags under my eyes! Note to self: Stay away from cigarettes and alcohol the night before a show.

Hilary Swank and Demi Moore Backstage at Miss Sixty

We've noticed that Hilary has vastly improved her Media Whore skills lately. The Tea Room loves Hilary's slutty shirt, flowing hair, toothy smile. Demi... what the heck's going on? Where has our pole-dancing, gyrating, show-it-if-you-got-it Hollywood diva gone? Why when we see you now do you look like a cross between Tuesday from the Adam's Family and that mean buyer from Barney's? Is it that you've had so much botox that you are unable to move your face? It is still no excuse for covering up that expensive flesh. Ashton can't be turned on; we know we're not.

Fighting to Get In

OK, they may not be fighting to get in to Fashion Week, but we still REALLY enjoy looking at this picture.

Next to Christy Turlington, John Bartlett is the Best Thing Since Glitter

One of I.M.’s favorite menswear designers, John Bartlett, showed his Spring 2008 in his first ever boutique in the West Village instead of his usual edgy runway shows. After closing his business in 2002, he traveled to Thailand and Cambodia taking up Buddhism and yoga. He re-launched his menswear line is 2004, expanded the line in 2005, and will create home goods for his new 500 square foot store.

In 2005, the handsome 44-year old designer was named creative director of Ghurka, the luggage and leather goods company, for which he now consults.

John told DNR - “My fantasy is to find a sales guy with a handlebar mustache.”

I.M. often has the same wish.

The Whorehouse was THIS CLOSE to producing front of house for this designer back in 2001.

The Arrival of Fashion Week's Glitterati

Speaking of mothers, can you believe that all of these women, except for the one on the far right, have many children?! Hoping daddy got lucky during fashion week...

Melrose from "America's Next Top Model" at Fashion Week

photo: John Perez

Wow this flesh-colored smock did nothing for Melrose yet she still got some attention. If she was taking tips from her Media Whore's handbook she would know that she committed three sins here:

1. She didn't look slutty enough
2. Her hair was up in a bun instead of down and flowing
3. Show some teeth when you smile (unless you're British & have shitty teeth, then keep your mouth glued shut, just like Melrose).

Kate, see above.

Are We Turning Anybody On Here?

There was a time when the words "male model" made the chicks among us giddy with excitement. That time is clearly gone. Let us say this: If you are going to channel Buzz Lightyear, Buckwheat & Richard Simmons for Fashion Week, can we please use some male heat? This is depressing all the way around...

Nigel Barker Looking HOT HOT HOT at Fashion Week

photo: John

Ok so he showed up LATE to a new designer show, which was so damned hot his seat was taken. Hearing I.M.'s dolphin cry from the front gates (only discernable by D.W. and a handful of police dogs), two not-so-worthy onlookers were booted from their front row seats to make room for Nigel and his young assistant. Anything for a Media Whore!

Spring 2008 Press Pimps Backstage During New York Fashion Week

Gregg Moore, I.M. & D.W. backstage; smiling because it's over.

Media Whore reminder: When photographed in a group, NEVER lean in toward the middle person or your arm facing the camera will appear TWICE ITS NORMAL SIZE in the photo. Witness D.W.'s gigunda appendage ...

NEWS TRAVELS FAR

T-h-e I.M.? Dahling its been so long, too long really - we must catch up. Undoubtedly you're bringing San Francisco to its knees, but do consider India - we need you here! xo Edith
p.s. I'm putting together a trunk show for a designer friend of mine here in Bangalore - looks to be a great turnout.

BOY DO I MISS I.M.

Once upon a time there was a very busy Press Pimp named I.M. For almost 15 years, I.M. spent the better part of August and January frantically planning the most dynamic, visually sensational fashion shows for New York's Fashion Week. Lo and behold, one season, a fellow Brit (did I not mention I.M.'s Scottish heritage?) descended upon Fashion Week from (gasp) California. I.M. was smitten. Fellow Brit convinced I.M. that his creative genius was needed in San Francisco, where Herculean attempts to compete with New York and L.A.'s Fashion Weeks were being planned. I.M, eagerly accepted the challenge. Though his devoted subjects were broken-hearted, they took comfort in knowing that though I.M. was spending fog-filled mornings speaking San Francisco-ese, he still considered New York his true home. So much so in fact, that I.M. still returns to New York for Fashion Week every September and February, accompanied by Fellow Btit and a slew of aliens (aka Californians) with him.

So be advised I.M.-watchers, the eagle has landed this afternoon. I.M. was spotted getting in a taxi at JFK at approximately 1 PM (EST) today.

Stay tuned...

ASSUME THE POSITION

A reclusive Press Pimp works the Luge at the Fat Angels party.

Tea Room Friend Earns A+ Hostess Badge at Fat Angel Party

Super-stunner Elise Pritchard, known affectionately by friends and fans as "Fat E" explained to the media after her Fat Angels Jersey Shore event why her parties are so successful.

"Alcohol," she told D.W.. "A party just can't be successful unless you have an overflow of liquor."

Guests are still marveling at the large-scale Ice Luge that she had crafted for the debaucherous occasion.

Behind the scenes Fat E worked her magic. She single-handedly headed off a catastrophe when workers arrived with two gargantuan frozen magarita machines which, when plugged in, failed to work.

Ever the intrepid hostess, Fat E instructed an army of bartenders to head to the liquor store and double up on hard alcohol, which already was in abundance hours before 300 guests were scheduled to arrive. Vodka, scotch & tequilla were successfully sent flowing down the canals of the luge for the entire evening, leaving event-goers perfectly smashed.

The Tea Room loves Fat E!

Up and Coming Media Whore News Update

She joins SARAH JESSICA PARKER, KIM CATTRALL, KRISTIN DAVIS, CYNTHIA NIXON and Mr Big himself, CHRIS NOTH, who have all pledged their allegiance to the project.

Shout Out: Mally's Beauty Products at MallyBeauty.com

Once upon a time two young fashionistas pursued fashion design courses in college together. One (I.M.) became a fabulous Press Pimp and the other (Mally) became one of the most successful make-up artists in the Media Whore World. Who makes Beyonce looks so great? Mally does. Check out her line called Mally Beauty.
