Leighton Meester Serves Mom With Lawsuit, Mom Sues Back

TMZ reported that the "Gossip Girl" actress is suing her mom for spending the money she was sending for her brother's medical expenses on plastic surgery, botox and hair extensions instead. Leighton sued her mom last week, claiming Connie uses the $7,500 a month Leighton sends to pay for her brother's medical bills on plastic surgery and Botox for herself.

The “Gossip Girl” actress’ younger brother allegedly had to pull her off Constance. Leighton alleges that Constance Meester has been using considerable sums money meant for her son's medical care on plastic surgery for herself. The 54-year-old claims that she and her daughter had an oral agreement, but Meester wants the judge to rule that there never was one between she and her mother.

Leighton insists she sends that amount every month to pay for her brother's serious medical issues, and that her mom pilfers the cash for herself. Leighton Meester's mother claims the actress beat her with a bottle during an alleged December 2010 attack.

According to Wigg's request, Meester allegedly promised to "hunt down and kill" Wigg and her son. Leighton then fired her as her manager.

BALMAIN MAKES ITS WAY INTO HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY

BALMAIN is a fashion house created by French designer Pierre Balmain known for sophistication and elegance in 1945. The house at first started off showcasing long bell-shaped skirts with small waists that became popular as Dior's new look. In 1951, he opened branches in the U.S. selling ready to wear clothes. During the 50's he popularized the stole for day and evening wear as well as sheath dresses beneath jackets. Balmain's talent lay in his ability to make grand evening gowns and simple tailored suits using slender and elegant lines.

Passing away in 1982, Balmain's designs, most notably his vintage couture gowns still remain popular amongst the international jet-setters, movie stars, and socially prominent women. After his death, the house was taken over by Erik Mortensen and Oscar de la Renta [1993-2001] who brought classic, luxurious designs. Until 2011, the house was led by Christophe Decarnin who brought a more modern and edgier take. This past April of this year, Olivier Rousteing took over Balmain.

Seeing his designs make an appearance at the MTV Movie Awards this past Sunday made me intrigued to find out who this designer was. Kristen Stewart, Leighton Meester, and Mila Kunis wore his designs that night. What is also popular are the Balmain jackets that are military styled, very Michael Jackson-esque seen on Beyonce and Rihanna. Looking at his beautiful designs that have inspired designers after him, make me one day dream to wear one of the famous designs, I would be completely honored.

MTV MOVIE AWARDS 2011 RED CARPET

Last night the MTV MOVIE AWARDS took place at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Blowing up the red carpet in summer fashion were plenty of mini dresses and French designer to look out for: BALMAIN.


LEIGHTON MEESTER literally shined in a silver Balmain mirror mini dress with long sleeves. This reminds me of JLo's Grammy dress from earlier this year.

MILA KUNIS kept it simple in Balmain with an embellished mini-skirt and blousy black top. No wonder Justin Timberlake couldn't keep his hands off her.

KRISTEN STEWART finally puts in some effort into her rocker persona with a Balmain strapless mini decorated with pins, studs, and rhinestones.

ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY is seriously on every red carpet nowadays, but brought out her animal side in this Dolce & Gabbana tiger print dress.

EMMA STONE, back to her beautiful red-headedness matches this Bottega Veneta sheer lace dress perfectly.

EMMA WATSON looks so chic in this white silk Marchesa mini with embellished neckline and shoulders. She looks great in this hairstyle and can't wait to see her in the final Harry Potter installment!

SELENA GOMEZ brings the sunshine in this Giambattista Valli printed top and skirt. She's so beautiful and put together all the time!

BLAKE LIVELY keeps it sleek and simple in a blue Michael Kors dress, very contrary to the recent naked pics surfacing on the internet.

REESE WITHERSPOON takes home the Generation Award and dresses to impress in a black and gray leopard print Zac Posen bustier dress. Yes, she doesn't have to take off her clothes to earn attention everybody!!!

Lady Gaga no Met Ball!

Pois é, as fofoquinhas do Met Ball não param... Lady Gaga era a performance da noite e, surpreendentemente, não apareceu no tapete vermelho do Metropolitan Museum. Todos ficaram super curiosos em saber se Gaga realmente apareceria no evento, se havia entrado pela porta de trás e, mais importante, o por quê desse desaparecimento. Ainda mais porque ela é sempre uma das que mais *adoram* aparecer nessas coberturas de eventos, com suas roupas pra lá de extravagantes.

E agora já sabemos que ela realmente se apresentou e entreteu os convidados de Anna Wintour - e em grande estilo. Seu figurino era de primeira linha e bem ao estilo de Gaga: um macacão todo de strass e glitter. Tudo bem que Britney já havia usado essa idéia antes, no clipe de Toxic... e J.Lo, recentemente, também usou um desses; porém não tão bem-sucedida quanto Brit-Brit. Na verdade, o precedente do macacão transparente é mesmo de Diana Ross (acreditem se quiser!), lá nos anos 70... e a prova está aqui, por ordem de aparição.

Gaga e seu modelito no Met Ball

Agora, por que Gaga não apareceu no tapete vermelho ninguém sabe. Mas rumores são de que Gaga ficou trancada em seu camarim e não saía dijeitonenhum. Oprah, com sua santa paciência - sempre ela! - finalmente conseguiu tirar Gaga de seu camarim, mas só para entrar diretamente no salão..

E, ainda por cima, foi desobediente da única regra que Anna Wintour pediu: de não falar palavrão durante sua apresentação.

O que aconteceu para que Gaga não saísse do camarim acho que nunca saberemos. Mas certezinha que as *abelhinhas* do Page Six do NY Post vão ficar de olhos abertos pra saber de mais novidades...

P.S.: Leighton Meester - a Blair de Gossip Girl - foi outra que fugiu do tapete vermelho e entrou diretamente para o evento. 

Mas também, com esse vestido e essa maquiagem, eu também entraria pela porta dos fundos. O que você fez à Marc Jacobs, Leighton? Porque esse vestido que ele te deu tá um horror. Isso sem falar da maquiagem e do cabelo...

tendência: estampas de poá!

Fazia algum tempo que não víamos estampas de poá nas passarelas. Tudo começou no verão de 2009, quando Henry Holland e alguns outros designers utilizaram estampas de poá com bolas enormes, combinando-as com outras estampas, em peças separadas ou em um mesma peça. Veio como uma mini-tendência dentre outras maiores nas passarelas de primavera/verão 2009.

Só que agora ela pegou força, e as passarelas de primavera/verão 2010 viram uma invasão de bolinhas! Marcas como Moschino Cheap and Chic, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Luella, Marni e Karen Walker usaram e abusaram da estampa. Vimos nas passarelas o uso em diversas cores e com combinações mais que inusitadas - mas que, de certa forma, deram super certo!

As celebs também não deixaram passar, e já aderiram à tendência há algum tempo: 

Meus looks preferidos? Todos da Luella - eu tenho uma queda pela designer, tenho que falar a respeito disso num post em separado... - o de Eva Mendez e, em primeiro lugar, o de Leighton Meester. Apesar de faltar um pouquinho de blush em seu rosto (ela parece que acabou de levantar da cama, com a cara ainda amassada!), a combinação é PERFEITA e se eu pudesse teria todas as peças no meu armário, não só o vestido de poá. 

E vocês, como usariam poá? Combinando com outra estampa, no clássico preto e branco, vestido ou short?
