Radar reports that gimmicky clothing line Heatherette, may or may not have gone out of business.

“The demise of Heatherette has been months in the making. The label actually canceled their fashion week show in February, though founder Traver Rains claimed at the time that he and partner Richie Rich were simply reorganizing the company and would be back in time for next fashion week. The reorganization was supposed to involve finding a new financial backer after Rich and Rains burned through the $6 million given to them by the Weisfeld Group, owner of urban streetwear outfit FUBU; a source tells Radar that the duo’s efforts were unsuccessful, and that Rains and Travers have now amicably parted ways.”

Above we have Melania Trump and son Baron. I’m digging Melania’s Eva Gabor “darling I love you but give me Park Avenue” ensemble. Women in the U.S. need to dress up like they’re having breakfast at Tiffany’s more often and do away with the ever prevalent Rosanne casual look. There’s just no excuse ladies, comfort is ugly. Life should always be one continuous, well styled 60’s sit-com.

The iconic black Givenchy gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in the opening sequence of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was sold at auction for $807,000, 7 times more than the $138,000 estimated. Proceeds from the sale will go to City of Joy Aid, a charity which helps India’s poor.

Radar Online has a fascinating and somewhat sad article on the Versace empire and it’s operatically tragic downfall since the death of Gianni.

Sharon Stone, who is creating quite an Oscar buzz for her performance in the upcoming film “Bobby,” has been chosen as the face of Badgley Mischka’s new campaign. The ads begin appearing in the October issues of Vogue, Elle and InStyle magazines.

Nicole Richie pays homage to Audrey Hepburn in her father Lionel Richie’s new video “I Call It Love.” In the video, Nicole sports a pair of Swarovski crystal embedded sunglasses from Bulgari’s new Astrale collection, while looking lovingly through a Bulgari’s window in a Breakfast At Tiffany’s movie moment.

Ever since her infamous falling out with ex-best friend Paris Hilton, Nicole has managed to aquire an air of class about her, opting to keep her legs closed and maintain a lower profile than her Simple Life media whore costar.

Forget the Devil, he soooo yesterday…the hottest regiligious figure to be making the fashion headlines is non other than Pope Benedict XVI himself. The Pope’s red Prada loafers are all the rage ( and talk ) at the Vatican, as is his taste for Gucci sunglasses.

The 78-year-old Benedict has not only managed to raise a few eyebrows with his fashion choices, he’s also managed to raise the conservative papal hemline as well. During Benedict’s first public appearances, it was revealed his cassock had been altered, raised just above the ankle revealing white socks and bright red Prada shoes.

Newsweek reports Benedict has requested his own tailor Alessandro Cattaneo and the 20 year old fashion house of Raniero Mancinelli to create the new holy wardrobe in favor of Annibale Gammarelli tailors, the fashion house who have made papal wear for the vatican since 1792. It is said the new design team is providing the pope with a glitzier wardrobe, “some with shimmering, sequinlike details”.

Well, it’s good to see he’s putting those donation dollars to good use, no one ever said religion had to be drab. Personally I would’ve brought in Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to seriously shake things up. Couture, couture, couture, it can only be a matter of time before Vogue gives us our first papal cover and Benedict starts making the rounds with Elton John and Donatella Verscae in tow.

This story originally appeared in FemaleFirst, but below is Dlisted’s hysterical take on the same story:

Picture this: You are Donatella Versace, you are wearing some ugly frock that you sort-of designed, you love champagne, you love coke even more. You’ve invited that fag Elton John over to party. “Fuck the Pain Away” by Peaches comes on the radio and that’s your jam, so you head to the powder room to get a little powder.

Suddenly, the nastiest man you’ve ever seen blocks you. It’s Elton John and you’re confused, but you try and get around his fat arm. He blocks you and says there’s a jet waiting. You say “fabulous, let me get my bikini!” But it’s not going to St. Tropez, it’s going to Arizona. You hate Arizona, but that’s where REHAB is. Oh no, not rehab.This is a true story. Sad but true.Donatella said:

“On June 30 [2004] Elton was in my house in Milan, along with a few friends. I went to the bathroom to powder my nose and they blocked me. They told me there was a plane about to depart for Arizona. “I was shocked but I understood the time had come. I slipped into a tracksuit and … alone and with no make up, caught the plane.”

Please don’t take coke away from Donatella. She won’t be the same. I like her just the way she is. Coked up and with a penis!
