From 2009 to 2015, Glee brought sharp comedy, messy plot twists and many, many covers to our television screens. The Fox series about the teenage members of the New Directions glee club was as chaotic as it was heartfelt, and at the centre of all the drama (both real and fictitious) was Lea Michele, who […]

Happy 32nd birthday to our broadway babe, Lea Michele. From earning a part in Les Misérables at only eight years old, to landing her breakout role as the ultra-ambitious yet loveable Rachel Berry on Glee, Michele has some undeniable talent. She even took over as guest host on Ellen today to celebrate her big day. […]

Long before she said yes to the dress (or the oyster bar), bride-to-be Carley Fortune had a much more important decision to make: what to do with her hair.

By Carley Fortune

Last December, my boyfriend of seven years proposed, and we began planning an October wedding. I’d never daydreamed about my wedding day, and I took a pretty laid-back approach to the preparations, except for one minor detail—the hair. You see, my hair is my thing.

I remember flipping to the class survey results when the yearbooks were handed out in Grade 12. Among the winners for Most Popular and Best Athlete, as voted by the graduating class, was my name: Carley Fortune, Best Hair. I loved fashion when I was a teenager, too, but I was overweight, and tending to my hair was one way I felt I could experiment with style and trends. So I hot-rollered and braided, and twisted and crimped.

To be perfectly honest, we kind of fell off the Glee wagon last season, mostly because Lea Michele’s character started to get just a tad too annoying. But after Ryan Murphy revealed earlier this month that none other than Sarah Jessica Parker would be guest starring on the show for its fourth season, we’re definitely back on board.

Go inside her bag! »

You better get excited, because today’s bag snoop subject is major! Majorly major. Presenting the Alexander Wang box bag (and its contents) belonging to Naya Rivera, one of the über talented stars of Glee! As the queen bee of the cheerleaders, Rivera’s character Santana Lopez doesn’t always display the…kindest tendencies, but judging by the reason she visited Toronto yesterday, Rivera IRL couldn’t be more different if she tried. In town to support the Sunshine Foundation, which in partnership with Winners and Homesense makes dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses, the actress was meeting with a little girl who’s dream it was to meet her. “She loves the show and I thought what better way than to just come over and say hello,” said Rivera.

While every teenager in Toronto flooded Queen and John to cheer on Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Katy Perry and more at the 2012 MMVAs, once the show was over MuchMusic viewers who still remember the era of Rick the Temp descended downtown for the afterparties.

Talk about one stacked cast! Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, and Beyoncé are all slated to star in the upcoming movie musical, One Hit Wonders. Witherspoon, Paltrow, and Diaz will play singers from the ‘90s who decide to form a girl group to kick-start their failed careers. First reaction: Pseudo-Spice Girls? We’re sold! Second reaction: Can there please be promotional Chupa Chups for this film?

This month, we have devoted 16 pages to the extraordinary Bosnian-born Australian model Andrej Pejic, but there is still so much more to say. Pejic is a man who dresses like a woman—sometimes. However, he is not a cross-dresser in the way that some men dip into their wives’ panty drawers for a thrill. He is not a drag queen, like RuPaul, who routinely took three hours to transform from freckled Southern gentleman to seven-foot-tall glamazon in size 13 pumps. And he doesn’t like to say whether, like Chaz Bono, he is on his way to the other side.

So who is he?

Word: Book musical

Meaning: A musical in which the songs and dances are fully integrated into a well-made story, with serious dramatic goals, kinda like a book. Often, book musicals are actually based on books.

Usage: “The Book of Mormon… ardently embraces the all-American art form of the inspirational book musical.” — the New York Times

Those of you who thought that Anna Wintour dubbing “geek” as “chic” at the Webbys was a one-time deal, think again: the cast of Glee will be featured during the third annual Fashion’s Night Out event on September 8.

Cast members including Canuck Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, and Darren Criss will make appearances at retail locations in New York and Los Angeles.  Bee Shaffer—Wintour’s daughter and currently an associate managing producer in Los Angeles for Ryan Murphy’s production company, which produces Glee—supposedly set up the appearances.

Previously at FNO, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler sang show tunes with Oscar de la Renta and Alexander Wang, and his supermodel clique danced in the windows of his store. Hopefully, the cast of Glee will prepare some original performances for FNO in lieu of repeating previously aired acts. Who wouldn’t love to see a little fashion-fuelled Gaga/Glee routine while shopping like an A-lister?

Can’t make it to New York City or Los Angeles in September? Fear not: American e-commerce sites including Net-a-Porter and Shopbop will participate in FNO for the first time this year. All you’ll need to get the full experience from home is a credit card and a Glee soundtrack.

There’s been plenty of unfavourable buzz around the 15th installment of America’s Next Top Model. The season trailer features a 6’2″ model with a waist that Miss J can put his hands around. “There’s something about her that I like!” shrieks Tyra, the same who once delivered that now-golden line, “kiss my fat ass.” [Fashionista]

According to his ex-wife, JetBlue ex-flight attendant gone cult hero Steven Slater would “love his own fashion line.” Maybe cursing the plane over the speaker, stealing two beers and storming off the aircraft via inflatable slide will be the best thing that ever happened to him. [Stylite]
