Christian Louboutin Glass Slipper Wine Glass For Piper-Heidsieck
Christian Louboutin has turned out heels in leather and silk, but he’s adding a new
material to his portfolio: glass. For a new collaboration with champagne-maker Piper-Heidsieck, Louboutin created a glass slipper that connotes both Cinderella fantasy and
Parisian decadence. The shoe flute is packaged as part of the $500 Le Rituel gift set,
which also includes a bottle of champagne. It will only be sold in select Neiman Marcus
stores and online at www.le-rituel.com. Drinking out of a lady’s shoe is a tradition that
dates to the 1880s, when Russian counts celebrated ballerinas by drinking out of their
toe shoes.-Wall Street Journal

Nicole Ritchie Launches Winter Kate
Nicole Richie will debut a new contemporary women’s line, “Winter Kate” next Spring, according to WWD. She told the site that the 37-piece set has been in the making for quite some time. Tops, vests and bed jackets make up “Winter Kate,” which draws inspiration from Nicole’s own personal retro, bohemian fashion. But the mother of two also said that she drew inspiration from some of her favorite animals and birds, so expect a lot of funky colors. Additionally, the line will include easy to slip-in dresses, tunics and kimono-sleeved maxi dresses.
The line will be sold at stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Sakes Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Intermix, and Kitson, with prices ranging from $35 wholesale for a camisole to $598 for the leather pieces. The line coordinates perfectly with her accessories line, House of Harlow 1960, which will be growing to include shoes for spring. Both collections actually target the same buyers. According to Richie, “She is a woman like me: She does not look at labels; she knows how to mix and match. The pieces can be dressed up, made casual, but most importantly, they provide the wearer a means of self-expression and fun.” -WWD
MTV The Hills Ratings Plummet
According to Media Life Magazine, the audience for season 5 of The Hills, with new leading lady Kristin Cavallari, was down 40 percent compared to the prior season's debut, which starred LC.
The Season 5, Part 2 premiere netted just 2.36 million total viewers and three weeks later the number of people tuning in had slipped even further to 1.62 million. And among 18-34-year-olds, current episodes are getting less than half of the 2.3 million fans that tuned in each week two seasons ago. Aww to bad (my evil laugh). LC escaped the Titanic just in time.

“I will beat you down,” Alex Furstenberg threatened Miller on October 17, according to the court papers.
