Looks like Rosie O could be heading for a smack down with Barbara Walters even before their first episode of the View with Rosie O'Donnell airs. As Mrs. Walters was quoted in Newsweek "I didn't like the blog...I'm counting on Rosie's intelligence and sensitivity and humor". That strategy never got anyone in trouble (Shoelover speaks from the experience of counting on many people's intelligence)..............................
It truly amazes Shoelover to see the emotion (both good and bad) that Really Rosie O'Donnell stirs up in people.
Enuff of the blabbering, let's find Rosie some comfortable shoes for the show. Rosie looks like the comfortable shoe type of gal, right?
The Boston with Anthracite Wool from Birkenstock is probably a good choice. Besides, 
how can you go wrong with a company that has a signature line by Heidi Klum.
Another option is a pair of Keds, maybe from their Zero line.

In light of Boy George's court ordered community service, which will consist of picking up trash in the cool breezes of NYC in August, Shoelover thought a look at appropriate footwear for the activity was called for, or maybe just a new song (sing it to the tune of I'll tumble 4 Ya)
Hey, for a change it looks like Lil' Kim is busting out of something other than her clothes (or her implants from under her skin)...she got out of the jail yesterday.

No word on the terms of the endorsement deal, but rumor has it that it includes 3 squares a day and a hundred bucks a month at the commissary.
From what Shoelover hears, Steve Madden was pissed that he didn't land Lil' Kim for his new Jailhouse Rock line of shoes, but Martha Stewart was absolutely revolted at the idea of having Lil' Kim pitch Stewart's products.

The movie will most likely be shot in reverse sequence, allowing Star to play both her skinny and fat self. It is expected that the movie will take about 7 days to shoot, maybe less if Star sleeps with a nasogastric feeding tube.
In related news, Shoelover is still awaiting confirmation that Lucifer will be the new face of Prada.

Lots of controversy noise about Star Jones being removed from view. Shoelover's source indicate that the reason her contract was not re-upped for the next season was not because she was annoying, but because producers figured since she was half the woman she used to be when she was hired, she should get half the money.
The other issue was that since Star lost her weight, the show stopped appealing to bon-bon chomping, sofa-riding, waist-band busting females, viewership had dropped faster than Star's poundage.
Moral of the story............yes, you can be too skinny.
Shoelover is hoping that someone like Arianna Huffington or Michelle Malkin will step in to the void left by Star. Well, actually they will both need to step in, at the same time, to fill that void left by the old Star Jones we all love.

Shame about the dress (or did she just wear a slip?)........
Culling information from a number of highly reliable sources, like Perez Hilton, it is still unknown whether or not Sarah Jessica Parker is pregnant or not. However, one thing is certain, as obvious in this "Perez-enhanced" (Perez-i-fication?) picture from April 24th 2006, Sarah Jessica Parker may be going blind, as evidenced by this dress. Looking at her from a few other perspectives, it is still difficult to say with any certainty whether or not she is with child.
Although one thing is clear, that dress is unflattering, from every angle...........

Nyquil at 4 in the afternoon does a body good and makes you a little loopy to boot. It got me thinking about an age old 
questions...........just who are the best dressed bloggers. OK truth be told, I really didn't start thinking about this until about an hour after I finished the Blackwell post, but I thought about it never the less.
So who are the best dressed bloggers? If the rest of the blogging world wants to critique every starlet that crosses their path, then the shoe should be on the other foot. Don't you think? I have my top ten. Who are yours? I don't want to
hear about the worst dressed bloggers because:
1. That is just too negative and it is way too easy to be negative; and
2. There would be way too many candidates (OK, a tiny bit negative, but really, have you seen any of those hard core tech/gadget bloggers. I mean come on, the world does not live by track pants alone does it?)
So here are the ground rules
1. They have to actively maintain a blog. No ghost writing or pure corporate PR fluff please. In the case of large blog networks, they could be some sort of editor. I can live with that
2. Their fashion style has to be verifiable. In other words, we need pictures folks. And tell me what gives them style. None of this, she or he is hot crap...what are you 15 (well, some of you may be).
3. Either gender may be considered. Guys don't be afraid to show a little gender ambiguity, women dig that stuff.
I'll stop accepting submissions whenever I feel like it. Then I'll put together a top ten list. Email your top 10, along with supporting evidence to me at shoelover@clear-shoe-boxes.com.
Crap, this nyquil stuff isn't kicking, I must have built up a tolerance.....time for another swig.

from you. How long has it been since you cut a dress? Are you the icon at the head of hundred million dollar industries?
Yet every year you come out with some "list" of who you consider the best and worst dressers.
1. BRITNEY SPEARS: "When it comes to couture chaos, this tacky terror should take a bow – looks like an over-the-hill Lolita. From the princess of pop to the ultimate fashion flop."
2. MARY-KATE OLSEN: "In bag lady rags that look depressingly decayed – forget the accessories and buy some Raid."
3. JESSICA SIMPSON: "It's time to sack the stylist and divorce the designer… she resembles a cut-rate Rapunzel slingin' hash in a Vegas diner."
4. EVA LONGORIA: "Gorgeous face, garish taste… what a waste."
5. MARIAH CAREY: "The world applauds your musical emancipation… but please – leave that body to our imagination."
6. PARIS HILTON: "The Burger Queen Sensation may be very rich – but she looks like yesterday's cheesecake… with a side of kitsch."
7. ANNA NICOLE SMITH: "Queen Kong in cheap lingerie."
8. SHAKIRA: "Coiffure by Medusa… clothes by the Marquis De Sade."
9. LINDSAY LOHAN: "The Teen Scream defines Fashion Fright – looks like she's aged 30 years overnight."
10. RENEE ZELLWEGER: "Runs the gamut from Kewpi Doll Dreck to Red Carpet Wreck… she looks like a painted pumpkin on a pogo stick."
While Shoelover has been known to sling some mud once in a while (ya, I busted on MC a few days ago), it should be pointed out that each of theses ladies, with maybe the exception of A.N.S., probably out-earns Mr. Blackwell many times over. If Mr Blackwell thinks he still has what it takes, maybe he should offer his services to this 
motley crew of what he considers fashion disasters.
Hell, if you see Madonna, tell her that the 70s called and they want their satin hot pants back.
Ya, a few of them dress like trash once in a while (OK, a lot of the time), but are celebrities just a reflection of the society in which they live?

I have to disagree with the Stedman-as-my-copilot call by Manolo for his show that could be after coming across this little tidbit on Bill-Rock-Star-Where-Are-My-Groupies-Clinton. And I quote:
Clinton had some fun when Army Spc. Joshua Ruschenberg used a cell phone provided by troop greeters to call his sister-in-law, Shancy Garrison, in North Carolina. He handed over the phone to the former commander in chief.
"Hi, Shancy, it's Bill Clinton," the former president said into the phone.
Can't you just see Billy running up to women on the streets of NYC with a microphone and camera crew in tow, shouting "Darling, you look sooooooooo hot today. Where did you get those shoes? Wanna kick them off in my limo? Just Kidding. Ok, I'm not, just ditch the ugly broad you are hanging with today."
I can see it. Why can't any of you?

A tip of the hat to A Socialite's Life for the pic
So is there a grass roots campaign to get Manolo the Shoeblogger a TV show? Now that would be TV worth watching. As Manolo himself pondered out loud, who should be his side kick. Our suggestions are:
Bring Herve Villechaize back from the dead and dress him in some mini-prada. Instead of "Look boss, De Plane! De Plane!" it could be "Look boss, too plain, too plain" or "Ouch boss, I'm in pain, in pain" when forced to wear uncomfortable shoes.
Bill Clinton - Could be the opportunity for him to ham it up and lord knows he loves the ladies.Nick Lachey - currently looking for work. While not a stellar character, he has camera experience.
The Go Fug Yourself Girls - Self explanatory. Dumb it down for the masses. Not saying these girls are dumb, they just know how to talk.
Dan Senor - Former Republican CPA mouthpiece with a sense of style, albeit conservative.
The "New" Star Jones - Her trash mixed with Manolo's class. An added plus it that you could use her old wardrobe to upholster the on-set furniture.
The cast of Friends, well at least Courtney-I-Wish-I-Was-Making-A-Million-Dollars-An-Episode-Doing-Something-Now-Cox (ya, cuz that Arquette last name was doing so much to keep your career moving)
Stedman Graham - Cuz Oprah won't let him be on her show as a side kick .
Oh ya and we could also toss in that libertine-whore-bitch-cum-lately Opinionista (her words, not ours), as she may also be in need of a gig if she gets outed. Although possibly better suited to play the Colmes to CNN's-version-of-Hannity-Nancy-Grace, we think her personality could be strong enough to get young professional females to TIVO this show when it happens.

So Nick likes Jessica's shoes. Judging by some of the emails I get, he is far from being the only guy who has a thing for wearing women's shoes.
Her boots were made for ... him? (Chicago Tribune)
But was she in the room at the time. While a little bit of cross- dressing-Ellen-DeGeneres-role-playing may not be your cup of tea, let's hope that's what Nick Lachey was up to when trotting around in Jessica Simpson's mules.
Or you could say that he has the shoes to go with that tip frosting job that he is sporting in this pic.
Was this on the Newlyweds? Will it be in the divorce papers.
Jessica, don't you know that the best way to ruin a pair of shoes is to stretch them out?
Or is this just an attempt to swirl up some "edgy controversy" around Nick and get him a much needed, um, job.
