Based on the metered markets, ABC remained on the forefront on Dec. 31 with Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve at an average 8.5 rating/20 share from 11:30 p.m.-1:15 a.m. But, comparably, that was its lowest overnight average since 2004 (off three percent from one year earlier). Next was New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly on NBC at a 5.0/11 – up two percent from 2007. And last, and very least, was New Year’s Eve Live on Fox at a 3.4/ 7.

Dive Headfirst Into Fashion Week

The Star — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:16:32 +0000

Feeling inspired by spring? New York’s Fashion Week has everyone at The Stars Magazine wishing we could swap out our winter wear in exchange for the flirty frocks and structured shorts that have been lighting up the runway. One way to incorporate the latest warm weather trends into your fall fashion is through accessories, and several designers are offering up new takes on hair accessories. Lacoste glammed up its signature sporty style with a turban-like take on the head scarf. DVF took the headband to new heights, topping off nearly every model with an intricate, flower-filled band. Erin Fetherston used wrapped headpieces that gave her line a glittering, bohemian vibe.

Do You Suffer For Fashion?

The Star — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:12:38 +0000

New York City is filled with girls who are willing to take chances with style, to say the least. This fearless creativity is one of the greatest aspects about being in a metropolis of over 8 million people. Whether you’re wearing a lime green jumpsuit or a sequined minidress in the middle of the day, it’s safe to say that nobody here will judge you for your outfit choices. New York is the ideal place to go out on a limb and throw on something you wouldn’t normally attempt to pull off. However, there are some trends I’ve noticed over my time spent in the city that seem more trouble than they’re worth. They say “beauty is pain,” but sometimes I wonder if the end effect of these ridiculous trends is worth all the suffering.

Blazer Season

With back to school shopping coming up, blazers are high on the list of must-haves. Since o blazers were great for those cooler summer nights, you can make the transition from summer to fall much easier. Tons of celebs have been spotted rocking the fitted and oversized blazer trend. Ashley Olsen was wearing blazers on red carpet not once, but twice. Compared to her sister, Ashley definitely prefers the classic look. It’s a no-brainer that blazer are very suiting on the stylish twin.
