Bethenny Frankel (AKA Humpty Dumpty) Pick A Twitter Fight With Rachel Zoe

Last night, Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel started tweeting about Rachel Zoe and her Bravo show. Not shocking, Bethenny Frankel is a bully but cries all over the place when vice-versa. First she calls Rachel Zoe program "self-important nonsense. Then she said: "If I stick on a lampshade with a moo moo and a pair of bananas hoop earrings rz may just D I E.” Rather than mock her for misspelling muumuu, which Frankel would have a pretty hard time passing off as a clever pun, Rachel Zoe fired back with, "wow talk abt no class bn friends 4yrs." Rachel Zoe then called her "inappropriate and clearly desperate for some attention. 

I personally always think of Bethenny Frankel as humpty dumpty, she is broken and has not been put back together yet. Thats why she has such a big mouth and thinks she knows everything when she really knows nothing.

American Apparel To Lose 10 Percent of Its Workforce

About two months ago, government officials found that 1,600 American Apparel employees weren't authorized to work in the U.S. A lawyer for the company now says about 1,500 face termination this month as a result — or about 10 percent of the company's entire staff. 

Charney told the workers facing termination they'd get priority for rehire if they can get their papers straightened out. Charney may weep over losing them, but it's purely out of personal connection and deep-rooted feelings, not losing money. A lawyer for American Apparel said the loss won't have a "significant impact" on the brand's productivity, because no one's shopping so they have a bunch of merchandise lying around anyway and don't need any more. -LA Times

Ricky Wilson Talks Fall Trends He Is The National Makeup Artist For Dior

Ricky Wilson has been helping women go from ordinary to extraordinary for years, so it’s no wonder he works with cutting edge couture cosmetics brand Dior. The label was savvy enough to scoop him up in 2004, and he’s been making up famous faces ever since. Ricky’s list of clientele reads like a who’s who in the industry, including celebrities, socialites, and models. Always in demand during awards season, Ricky has created countless red-carpet looks for his clients making appearances at the Academy Awards, Grammys, and New York Independent Spirit Awards. He gets his inspiration from the streets of New York City and from working Fashion Week in both New York and L.A. Ricky has applied his expertise behind the scenes at MTV, Full Frontal Fashion, and VogueTV, and his work has been featured in the pages of top magazines like Allure, Teen Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Lucky, and Elle, to name just a few. Ricky names DiorShow Mascara and Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer among his favorite products, this season he’s obsessed with Dior’s 1-Colour High Impact Eyeshadow single eyeshadows in Ultra Violet, Flash Black, and Chrome. These shades are perfect for the “simple but impactful” look that is Ricky’s signature.

“For Fall, it’s okay to have both strong eyes and lips,” says Ricky. To do a gray smoky eye, use violet eyeliners and navy mascara instead of black to keep the look a little softer. And for lips, keep them well-defined with a soft pink or berry tone. But bear in mind Ricky’s rule: “Always apply your lipstick first to prevent the lip liner from looking too strong. ”For those of us looking for a one product pick-me-up, Ricky recommends Dior’s Liquid Eyeliner in Plum. “It is so beautiful and was widely used at many of the Fall shows. It gives the eyes a sparkle that black doesn’t,” says Ricky. -Modelina

He sold collections at stores including Bergdorf Goodman, in New York City, Wilkes Bashford, in San Francisco, and Luisa Via Roma, in Florence, Italy. His clothes had been modeled by and designed for celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Rosario Dawson, Lawrence Fishburne, Gina Torres, Oprah Winfrey and Janet Jackson.

Whitney Port To Show Her Whitney Eve Line @ Fashion Week

Whitney Port, the use to be intern at Diane Von Furstenberg, is staging her very own fashion show at fashion week. On September 10 at 2 p.m., she'll show her Whitney Eve Collection back-to-back with Nicholas K and Mara Hoffman, who are all represented by public-relations firm People's Revolution, which is the subject of forthcoming Bravo reality show Kell on Earth and also Whitney's "employer" on The City. However, Whitney's fashion show probably won't be on The City, since those shows are about Whitney's real, non-famous life. With any luck, it will be on Kell on Earth, though Whitney's iron clad MTV contract may prevent her from appearing on Bravo. Whitney reality show The City will return to the airwaves on September 29.
