Back in the halcyon days of yore, everyone from urbane, high-brow fashion designers to rural, overall-wearin' Midwestern farmers sought out their own personal fashion avatars from a stunning gallery of lady aristocrats like Caroline Astor, Babe Paley, the Vanderbilts and CZ Guest. While many were born into the gougères-munching, Don Pérignon-swilling, twinkle-toed fancy ways of Park Avenue, they were well-educated, upstanding dames who used their influence to build museums, launch charities and generally reach out to (however condescendingly) the grubby other half.
That's in violent contrast to the fashion avatars of our current regressive, knuckle-dragging era: Celebuspawn of the Female Variety. And it's not just oblivious Ohio State frosh. Impossibly sophisticated designers also take inspirational cues from these teeny terrors, not to mention pack their runways with 'em. The current crop of celebuspawn, unlike the socialites who preceded them, do little, if nothing to further the cause of anything but themselves. Which wouldn't be tragic, if they didn't insist on shoving their various and sundry "fashion" lines down our greedy little gullets. Or in some cases, being forced down our throats as walking fashion projects in and of themselves. Here, we take a look at their most bloodcurdling ventures, and nepotism-fueled existences as trend-inspiring icons:


8. Angela and Vanessa Simmons

Phat Farmer Russell Simmons has used the tacktastic Run's House to excrete his two eldest daughters (with Baby Phater Kimora Lee Simmons) into the lucrative MTV reality swamp, launcher of countless fameballs and unnecessary, aesthetically offensive "fashion" lines. Angela and Vanessa, who also model, enter beauty pageants and appear in music videos, decided to rip a page out of Lauren Conrad's fuzzy pink playbook and foist their hideous taste on the world with what must be one of the most preposterous premises since grillz. Their "fashion" line (once just sneakers, now clothing, shoes and, egad, handbags) is inspired by edible dainties. The resulting line, Pastry, is as appealing as a dust-ball-encrusted Dunkin' Donuts éclair wedged under your Aunt Ida's bed between her heating pad and economy-size tube of Bengay.

With two new celebrities in the Im A Celebrity camp, the stars were forced to discuss sleeping arrangements. Brian read some instructions. ‘You’ll find a new sleeping area for two celebrities outside camp. The exact location of the Cave. It’s up to you to decide who stays there.’
The Group had a meeting about who should do what and who should sleep where. ‘We want a democratic decision as to who goes where tonight’ said Robert.
Timmy volunteered to sleep in the cave. ‘I’ve said before I’ll go into the cave.’
As the discussion continued, Esther, who is frequently protected by the group, decided that she would like to be considered to sleep in the cave. Aghast, the majority of the camp disagreed, especially Brian.

Mars Trine Uranus:
Archie is daring, courageous, rambunctious, and full of energy and high spirits, and he can be a bit wild and reckless, also. He is willfully independent and dislikes conforming to schedules and routines. His vitality is strong.
Mars Sextile Jupiter:
Archie takes initiative and asserts himself easily. He has a sort of easy, natural confidence that he is inclined to take for granted, and he often succeeds at his aims without a struggle or putting too much energy into it. His health is likely to be very good, also.
Mars Sextile Saturn:
Archie has good concentration and the ability to persist until he reaches his goals. He is cautious about asserting his will or taking a new direction; but once he commits himself to a course of action, he works quietly and steadily. He does need moral support, though, as he is inclined to get bogged down and discouraged from time to time.


Sean Penn may play brooding types but he's an actor, with a Sun in Leo and Moon in Cancer and a Sagittarius rising.(August 17, 1960 3:17 pm Burbank, CA) So the Arnetts don't have a Sean-Penn like child and do have a little Archie who's Moon is in Virgo if he's born in the early evening, which is a great sign to have if your Mom has a Sun in Virgo with a stacked chart of Virgo planets! (cf earlier post Happy Birthday Hillary, Opps Amy!) and until we know the time of his birth, we won't know his rising sign, but with a name like Archie and parents who are comics, we'd say it's in the sign of tons of fun.

Here's what CelebSpleak users had to say about Sophie's tooth incident:

gotcha says: Haha! I can just see the look she got on her face when she bit into that sandwich and found out her precious veneers that she paid $1,000 each for got chipped. Because seriously, you know that no one in Hollywood has their own teeth, breasts, or hair.
ellie says: Gross! One time I went to Sonic and got a cheeseburger and when I bit into it I found a dirty chapstick cap!! I called the manager and they barely even apologized! She has every right to be angry. Restaurants need to be held accountable for the quality of their food.
