The Lexington Avenue windows of Bloomingdale’s in Manhattan are looking a lot like a storybook these days. In loo of the upcoming Tim Burton interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Spring fashions reflect the kooky style of the movie’s characters. The Red Queen, The White Rabbit and The Cheshire Cat, among others, are arranged in a tea party setting using actual props from the movie!

These fashions aren’t derived from the Alice you remember from your adolescence. Burton’s Alice is distinctly more mature, she is  edgy, adventurous and confident. That makes her the perfect muse for the unusual fashions of jeweller Tom Binns, Swarovski, Bloomingdale’s and makeup brand Urban Decay.

Swarovski has created replicas of the sparrow pendant worn by Mia Wasikowska, who plays Alice. Urban Decay created an eye shadow palette and displayed it in a box made to replicate a gold-spined book, complete with a keyhole latch. Cocktail dresses by Sue Wong mimic the tattered, edgy style of Alice and appeal to teens and misses alike.

“The whole package for each character, with its other-worldly hair, makeup and design combo almost echoes the mood of current popular culture,” says Avril Graham, executive fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar. Graham also says it’s Burton’s explosion of color, texture and dramatic costumes that has people talking, she even compares the style with pop culture’s fascination with Lady Gaga.

You can get lost in Tim Burton’s wonderland tomorrow, when Alice in Wonderland opens in theaters across the country.

After spilling his guts to Playboy, John Meyer has offered Jessica Simpson an apology for his disclosures concerning their sex life, via email. What a jerk, right? Jessica opens up to Oprah about John Meyer, the “mom jeans” thing and her weight on today’s episode. She doesn’t seem to be inclined to accept the emailed apology, she didn’t hit reply.

I don’t know why she is so pissed off anyway, he was very complimentary about her abilities in the boudoir. He called her sexual napalm for god’s sake! Napalm? Who thinks of that? In the Playboy interview, John also refers to Jessica’s bedroom behavior as crack cocaine to him. Really John? The entire rant on Jessica seemed to stem from crack cocaine, but it was however, very complimentary to her. Who doesn’t wanna be sexual napalm?

That’s right, ABC can add the Cincinnati Bengal’s wide receiver to its roster of football heroes that have graced the Dancing With The Stars stage. The official announcement won’t come until tonight, during the finale of another wildly famous ABC series, (for reasons I do not understand) The Bachelor.

Formerly Chad Johnson, Ochocinco officially changed his surname to reflect the Spanish pronounciation of his jersey number back in 2008. The new season of DWTS premieres Monday, March 22.

I’m unsure as to how I feel about a dress code for a prom…I had a girl in the store recently who wouldn’t try on gowns with a low back. She said that her school would not allow them. After several back and forth questions, I was left with a bad feeling. She attends a very large PUBLIC school. She went on to tell me that their gowns had to be approved before they were purchased. Now I am definitely NOT OK with that. A few years back I did feel like gowns were getting away from what they were meant to be. Vendors were making two piece gowns that kept getting skimpier and skimpier! Girls were looking like belly dancers instead of prom divas. So here I sit teetering both ways. I certainly think it is well within a school’s right to establish a dress code. It is a school event. However, having to have your gown “approved” is ridiculous. This is just showing teenagers that adults do not feel they can follow rules or be trusted. Set guidelines and make sure they are well publicized.

This morning’s edition of ABC’s Good Morning America gave us all a better understanding of how truly twisted Heidi Montag’s thinking is. After undergoing ten procedures in ONE DAY, Montag proclaims that she is not addicted to plastic surgery, saying, “I’m not addicted. If I were addicted, I would have had 10 plastic surgeries.” Wait, so you had ten procedures, but not ten surgeries…ahhh, I get it now! Retard.

Montag says she “just wants to be as beautiful as she can be, inside and out.” And if that means DD boobs, so be it. The starlet says that her breasts still aren’t big enough.

The 67th annual Golden Globes produced some trendsetters and some trend-forgetters. A common thread among designs that wowed is the one-shoulder silhouette. Those who did it best include Marion Cotillard in an emerald Christian Dior, Jennifer Aniston in a casual Valentino gown, Jane Krakowski in a plum gorgeous J. Mendel and Amy Poehler in a striking red Jay Godfrey.

One-shoulder gowns that got the cold shoulder from fashion critics include Drew Barrymore, whose nude Atelier Versace dress got flack for the “bulge” at the right hip. It does, in fact, look like she is growing barnacles. Other one-shoulder looks we’d like to forget include Anna Kendrick in Marchesa and Sigourney Weaver in a not-so-flattering Herve L. Leroux.

Penelope Cruz definitely stole the red-carpet show in her off-the-shoulder Armani gown. The beautiful lace and tiered ruffle hem are only the icing on the curvacious Cruz cake.
