Their costumes are very good and the two actually kinda resemble them! It is funny that they also added the kids as they carry around the 8 dolls. A wig resembling Kate Gosselin’s funky hairstyle has been selling out at halloween costume stores everywhere. Too funny!

Posted in In The News on October 15th, 2009 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

Three brothers set off a frenzy today when they pretended that their youngest brother Falcon Heene had floated off in the family’s homemade helium balloon. For hours Americans watched and prayed for 6 year old Falcon’s safe return home as television camera’s followed the balloon from Fort Collins to it’s crash site 80 miles away. After the balloon finally landed it was found to be empty and then a search was set forth to travel the balloon’s path and try to find the young boy. Helicopters with heat-seeking cameras readied for take off and teams of body-hunters prepared to comb the area under its flight path. Parents of the boys Richard and Mayumi Heene were “traumatized” waiting to find out about their son’s fate today. The two brothers continued their prank for several hours while Falcon was actually hiding in a box in the attic of the family’s garage. Mr. Heene is an amateur scientist and had been working on the helium powered balloon in the family’s backyard. The balloon actually rose to several thousand feet and traveled at 25 mph. This family is known for being thrill seekers and storm chasers and were actually on the show “Wife Swap”. I have a feeling these young boys are in some serious trouble. I wonder if the family is gonna have to cover the expense of day’s search efforts?

In the photo Meghan is wearing a dark tank top and holding an autobiography of Andy Warhol, the problem with the pick is that her tank top is very revealing and she has a sort of coy smile on her face. After the she posted the picture she began to get many nasty comments about it. Meghan said about the incident “Seriously I was just trying to be funny with the book and that I’m a dork staying in,” she wrote, later adding, “when I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut’, I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.” She then threatened to delete her twitter account but decided to sleep on the decision that night. She said “Ok I am getting the f— off twitter, promise not to delete my account until I sleep on it, thank you for the nice words supporters.” What do you think about the pic, do you think it deserves this much attention?

Michael Boychuck, a celebrity hair stylist and owner of three of the nation’s most stylish salons gives his expert opinion on hair for this winter. Boychuck owns AMP at the Palms, COLOR at Caesars Palace, and PRIMP at Palms Place in Las Vegas. Stylists at his salons are beautifying their clients with browns and full bodied hair for the fall and winter seasons. “The key to gorgeous hair during the winter is to make it appear full, lush and shiny,” said Boychuck. “Colder weather will zap the moisture out of the hair cuticle, leaving it dry and lifeless.” He states that a great way to save hair this winter is with Keratin treatments which are also known as brazilian straightening. Boychuck recommends this because Keratin eliminates 99% of frizz and does not damage hair unlike other straightening products and services. The main trend in hair color this year will be rich shades of chocolate and mahogany which will make hair look healthier and shinier. Preferred hairstyle of ladies this year will be loose flowing waves. Some of his celebrity clientele are Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, Fergie, Jennie Garth, Willa Ford, Shannon Doherty, Kathy Hilton and Susan Anton. His salon Color was also named “Top Las Vegas Salon” by the Las Vegas Nightlife Network.

In recent weeks a photo has surfaced from a Ralph Lauren ad of a model looking extrememly thin and unproportionate. The photo is of Ralph Lauren model of 8 years Filippa Hamilton and was the result of bad photoshopping. Filippa was terminated from her contract in April from Ralph Lauren for being too fat and not being able to fit into the clothes they wanted her to. Filippa is 5’10 and 120 lbs. clearly not overweight and said she was amazed to see the photoshopped picture and what they did to her body in the pic. This image was mistakenly released and was only used in Japan. In response to the photo Ralph Lauren said “The image in question was mistakenly released and used in a department store in Japan and was not the approved image which ran in the U.S. We take full responsibility,” the statement said. “This error has absolutely no connection to our relationship with Filippa Hamilton.” Ralph Lauren also had this to say about her “Filippa is a “beautiful and healthy” woman but their relationship ended “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.” Filippa Hamilton is concerned about the impact of the photo and said “I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology,” she said. “I’m very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.”

Kristin Cavallari Dating Sonny Smith

Posted in Reality Stars on October 6th, 2009 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

There are rumors floating around that “Hills” star Kristin Cavallari is trying to hide her relationship with L.A. Businessman Sonny Smith for the sake of the show. Her agent is speaking against the rumors in a very strong way and when asked about the relationship Sonny said that the two “have been friends for awhile” and that they “hang out” often. A friend on the inside said that “Kristin and Sonny are an item, but he knows that she has to pretend to date Justin Bobby if she wants to stay on The Hills.” I think that with this being a reality show it should be the truth and not made up stories. Does anyone else agree that the show is becoming too scripted and not reality anymore

In the letter he does not mention her death, the way in which she was killed, or that he had been blamed for the murder. “The lack of acknowledging that he’d just lost his wife speaks volumes,” Kohanek told PEOPLE. He left all of his money and posessions to family members and apologized to for the situation he brought them with all the media coverage.
