A Michigan cop calls 911 because he is convinced he and his wife have overdosed on marijuana brownies. They used a quarter ounce of marijuana to bake brownies. The two of them ate them all. Turns out, the wacky weed was confiscated from suspects.

“I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.”

The video is absolutely hysterical; wait for the reporters’ reaction.

Get this, the guy was never prosecuted! He was allowed to resign from the Dearborn Police Department and no further charges were pursued. Other incidents of police misconduct have since surfaced for the officer and his wife. On a separate occasion, 26-year old Stacy Sanchez (dumb cop’s wife), voluntarily told police investigators that she removed cocaine from her husband’s police cruiser that was part of the department’s drug dog training program. She then went on a reported three-week coke binge. Stacy Sanchez has not been charged criminally either.

Justice isn’t blind, it’s high.

No, not in person, on Victoria Rowell’s body! The actress donned  a cotton strapless gown that she–get this–made herself! Her 2010 Emmy Awards gown featured the presidents face along with some sort of arabic looking symbols.

Rowell’s homemade homage to Obama definitely turned heads. Isn’t that what starlets want anyway—attention?

That’s right, Leno brings the billigerent bad-ass to the verge of tears. After Sunday night’s outburst at the VMA’s, Kanye West appeared on the season premiere of Jay Leno’s new show to answer for his behavior.

During Kanye’s apology for his disrespectful rant, his voice quivered, eyes filled with water and he hung his head. Leno invoked the rapper’s deceased mother, asking Kanye what his mother would have thought about his actions. After a long, awkward pause, West said this:

“So many celebrities, they never take the time off. I’ve never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be, ’cause, and I don’t try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That’s period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve.”

Translation:  I did it because I never take any time off (and that is Taylor Swift’s fault). I was wrong and now I will be going into hiding until this all blows over.

In case you missed West’s drunken rant during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, here you go.

It’s a much debated topic. Wearing white before Easter: an out-dated trend or fashion faux pas?

The rule is no white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day. White shoes are for summer and deemed “tacky” any other season. Winter white clothing in the colder months is acceptable, white shoes of any kind (excluding sneakers) are not. But the ultra-sophisticate rule has been down-played in recent years. Even Oprah has denounced the rule as out-of-date and silly.

Silly it may be, but the origins of this fashion guideline stem from centuries of grooming southern belles. The white rule is more of a southern thing and relates to the changes in the weather. White reflects sunlight, thus keeping you cooler in the hot months of summer. White is not very practical during the Winter, you want to absorb all the sunlight you can. Over the years, the rule has morphed and bent, leaving some unaware of the age-old trend.

The battle continues. You can decide for yourself whether this rule is bull or a true fashion faux pas. As for me, I will save my white kicks for the summer.

Michelle Obama has been dubbed a fashion icon and grouped with other fashionistas like Jackie O and Princess Diana. Over the weekend, she became an international fashion icon. The presidential venture to England and France proved to be a gleaming opportunity for first lady fashion.

Mrs. O arrived in Strasbourg, France on Friday wearing a stunning coat and matching dress by Thakoon. Her look rivaled that of France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy when the two appeared together at the Palais Rohan. Bruni-Sarkozy donned her expected grey Dior duds. The French first lady is known for only sporting top French designers like Versace, Dior, Armani, etc.

Later that night, the lovely Mrs. O attended the NATO concert in Baden-Baden, Germany. She wore a classic black tea-length gown with a tulle skirt by Azzedine Alaia. The stunning collar and three-quarters sleeve stole the show.

Then on a more casual note, the first lady showed up at the Strasbourg Cathedral in France on Saturday wearing a sporty coat, again by designer Azzedine Alaïa, and an Etro print top. Later that day she arrived in Prague in a sleek black dress by Narciso Rodriguez and black jacket by, once again, Azzedine Alaia.

Touring Prague with Czech First Lady Livia Klausova on Sunday, Michelle wrapped up her tour with a big, fat bow! A bow shirt by Moschino, that is, with a black Michael Kors skirt and, you guessed it, Azzedine Alaia cardigan. Her go-to kitten heels and favorite belt capped off the outfit.

The fashion face-off with the Czech first lady was a little less competitive. Mrs. Obama could have shown up in flannel pajamas and made a bigger impression than Klausova. But she is older and obviously less concerned with fashion, we’ll give her a pass.

And so the Tour de Fashion in France comes to an end. Michelle Obama looked ravishing most all weekend wearing little-known designers and frugal finds. Frugal for the first lady, that is. We look forward to more refreshing fashion fair from our First Lady.

Country music sweetheart, and newly crowned Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood performed her rendition of Randy Travis’ hit “I Told You So” at the 2009 ACM Awards. Her performance was astounding, but perhaps even more jaw-dropping was her merlot-colored silk taffeta gown that completely over-powered her. The color is absolutely gorgeous, but the mammoth-sized montage has me confused. What was the point of her wearing a gown that she couldn’t even walk in?

“I was going to wear that exact same dress,” Host Reba McIntire cracked afterward.

Underwood’s over-the-top gown was designed by Rafael Cennamo. The Miami-based designer has also created looks for Rosario Dawson and Jane Kacmarek.

“It’s big. There’s a lot…a lot of dress,” Carrie hinted during a rehearsal for the big show. “It’s hard to describe. Kind of like water, maybe? Like red water? That sounds scary, doesn’t it? Maybe like lava. It’s like lava. Or icing. Red icing.”

Underwood became only the seventh female to win the Entertainer of the Year Award and the first since 2000, when the Dixie Chicks took home the trophy.

Webster’s defines tattoo as the permanent insertion of ink or other pigments below the skin using a sharp instrument. For centuries, tattooing has been used in both ritual and punishment. Today, tattooing is an outlet of self-expression, used by celebs and common-folk alike.

Angelina Jolie, one of Hollywood’s most photographed/talked about/envied superstars, has over a dozed tramp stamps on her body. The actress says all her ink blots have meaning.

Angelina told USA Today in 2003, “Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about.”

Other stars, that you may not suspect, have indulged in the obsession. Rihanna, Gisele Bundchen and Bruce Willis all have star tattoos. Country music star Keith Urban and oh-so-hot Actor Johnny Depp both have Indian tribal tats.

Some celebs wishing they hadn’t taken the plunge are Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Their divorce left them both with permanent reminders, in the form of the other’s inked name. Denise recently had Charlie replaced with a fairy and Charlie had Denise removed via laser. When Rocker Tommy Lee’s marriage to Pamela Anderson went sour, the blonde bombshell had her wedding ring tattoo, Tommy, altered to say Mommy.

While the relationship of the beautiful Beckhams is still in tact, it will be interesting to see what David will do with his permanent portrait of Posh if things go South.

Spring has sprung and Summer is well on its way. Swimsuit weather is just around the corner and with it comes anxiety and maybe even depression! But swimsuit shopping doesn’t have to be a nightmare.

There are a variety of suits available to accomodate any body shape. Follow these simple tips to find the swimsuit that is perfect for your body type.

Apple Shape:
Apple-shaped bodies or inverted triangle shapes have broad shoulders. Swimsuit shoppers with this body type should choose a swimsuit with a high-cut neckline, minimizing the top and emphasizing the bottom. Interested in  a two-piece suit? A solid top with printed bottoms works best for the Apple Shape.

Pear Shape:
This body type has wonderfully (or maybe not so wonderfully) rounded hips and bottom. Pear Shapes usually have a wider waist than shoulders. One-piece boatneck, racerback and tummy-control swimsuits visibly create the illusion of broader shoulders for a more balanced figure. If you prefer a two-piece suit, halter-style tops with darker bottoms are ideal.

Slender or Athletic Shape:
The slender body shape is long and lean with the same width at the shoulders, waist and hips. Swimmers with this body type need to create curves. You’ll want a swimsuit that creates the look of a defined waistline, try belted bottoms.

The Hourglass Shape:
Often considered the perfect body shape, the hourglass has a well-defined bust, waist and hips. This shape can show off all the assets…so go wild! You look great in most any style.

The Round Shape:
Not all Round Shapes are plus-size women. Many women tend to gain weight in their midsection, making them appear shapeless in the middle. While a one-piece is definitely recommended, you don’t have to settle for boring. Try a ruched tankini to draw attention away from the mid-section. The tankini is also great if you have awesome legs and want to show them off.

With Hollywood’s awards season behind us, we are left wondering…how do those stars look so damn perfect? While the silicone valley is definitely in full swing, not all beauty secrets of the stars involve the knife.

Some last minute red-carpet regiments include spanx, spray tans and even Scotch tape! The growing popularity of spray tanning cannot be ignored. Spray tans can not only lend a healthy glow to the pale and putrid, but it can also add muscle definition where there is none. Spray-tanner- to-the-stars Jimmy Coco reveals the secret:

“If they haven’t quite been to the gym, I can make it look as though they have,” he says. “I give them an even glow and lightly etch in where the muscle is.”

On to the body shapers. Stylists swear by Spanx, a brand of bodyshaping undergarments that promises to “rescue women from love handles, waistline spillage and cellulite,” according to the company’s Web site. Spanx have a way of smoothing all the bumps and blemishes.

Before the days of the NuBra (a silicone, adhesive bust enhancer/bra) and nipple covers, stylist would put cotton balls over the nipple and scotch tape them in place! Tape is still a critical part of a stylist’s toolbox. Surgical (or even electrical) tape can be wrapped beneath the breasts, squashing them together to create cleavage. But double-stick tape is even more popular. Stylists use it to hold spaghetti straps in place, keep loose dresses close to the skin and prevent plunging necklines from becoming pornographic. Before companies made special two-sided tape for fashion use, stylists relied on toupee tape.

Beauty can be bought….you too can be taped, tucked and tanned.
