Ah, the joys of summer. The sand, the sun and the water are definitely calling your name. But there s also all those hot new trends in fashion you ll want an in on, too.
For a wardrobe jumpstart, tune in to the tastes of BRITNEY SPEARS, LINDSAY LOHAN and HALLE BERRY.
They ve all been caught wearing a look that s going to be big, according to our latest fashion expert.
I like to call them Hollywood bells, says ABS by Allen B.
Schwartz s Design Director ALLEN SCHWARTZ, who loves to incorporate the looks of SIENNA MILLER, KATE MOSS, UMA THURMAN and CINDY CRAWFORD into his lines. They re the new high-rise waistband [pants], which is very fitted in the seat and goes all the way down to the leg.
Translation?
Goodbye skinnies, high-waisted bell-bottoms are back! The trend has already been test-driven by stars such as JESSICA SIMPSON and CIARA.
As a result, Schwartz has recently been stocking his stores with the trouser-style, flared-legged pant in a variety colors (take your pick of rinsed denim, yellow, red, blue, black and white), and fabrics (denim, linen and stretch twill).
And demand seems to be heating up.
It s blowing the doors off, the stores can t keep it in stock, says Schwartz of a white, poplin pair that works as a nice alternative to classic denim ($174-$220). [They re] what I call 9 to 9.
You can where this to the office, on a summer day, and then go right out for cocktails.
If you want to keep things more casual, Schwartz suggests a casual chic look achieved by pairing his denim bell-bottoms with a simple T-shirt and leather jacket. Britney was recently spotted wearing ABS logo tank top.
But bell-bottoms aside, the most important thing to keep in mind for summer fashion is color, since no one wants to start summertime off with a dull palette. The trends are moving toward mix-and-match, so anything goes.
Color is going to be huge, predicts Schwartz.
Yellows, greens, purples. Mix a yellow jacket with a purple T-shirt and a blue pant. It s very cool.
Be on the lookout for a new ABS shoe and jewelry line, too, which reminds us that metallics and beading are still perfectly appropriate to toss in while you re at it. For more styles, check out ABS Web site.
The producers of Lindsay Lohan s next film, Poor Things, plan to keep her on the cast and will juggle the shooting schedule to accommodate her rehabilitation stint, they told PEOPLE on Wednesday.
We have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things, producers Rob Hickman and Shirley MacLaine, who will also star in the dark comedy, say in a statement. We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit.
Filming was scheduled to begin Thursday in Los Angeles. The film is based on the true story of two women who murder homeless men and then cash in on their life insurance policies.
The statement from the Poor Things producers offered the first assurance that Lohan s career will remain on track despite her problems on and off movie sets.
Lohan admitted herself on Memorial Day to what her rep called an intensive medical rehabilitation facility after she was cited for DUI.
The producer of Lohan s current movie, Georgia Rule, had famously scolded her in a letter for missing work last summer. The film s director, Garry Marshall, later said he was the one who requested the reprimand.
This will be Lohan s second entry into rehab this year. Her first stay at the Wonderland Center in West Hollywood, started on Jan. 17 and continued for a month.
But she left during that time to continue filming I Know Who Killed Me, which is due out July 27.
Lindsay Lohan rehabilitation, take two. As the first try obviously didn t take Lindsay is on her way back into rehab, this time she will give Britney Spears place a try, as she will head to Promises of Malibu, a report from In Touch Weekly claims.
The magazine notes that after a wild weekend that saw her arrested for DUI early Saturday morning — and then passed out in a car just two days later — she s seeking treatment.
She finally realizes it’s the right thing to do, a close friend of the 20-year-old actress tells In Touch exclusively. “She is going willingly.
” No kidding? According to the magazine Lindsay is due to check into Promises in Malibu sometime this afternoon on the West Coast In Touch has learned. That s the same place Britney checked into after her head shaving incident.
The Georgia Rule star’s decision contrasts starkly from her behavior just last night at Teddy’s nightclub. Insiders say Lindsay was partying as hard as ever at a 944 Magazine party and kept insisting she didn’t care about the consequences of her arrest when cocaine was discovered in her wrecked Mercedes convertible.
She was later photographed passed out in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by her friend, disc jockey Samantha Ronson.
This will be Lindsay’s second spell in rehab this year. She completed a 30-day course in the Wonderland rehab facility in Los Angeles on February 16.
The most disturbing part of this whole accident to me is that Lindsay left the scene of an accident.
She hit another car and drove away. Fortunately a witness reported Lindsay for hitting the other vehicle and Lindsay will be liable. I can t stand when people drive away from an accident, at least leave a freaking note for the owner of the other vehicle.
That just goes to show you what a piece of sh*t Lindsay truly is. As if driving under the influence isn t bad enough, and being an irresponsible person with no respect for how lucky she is, on top of all that; she is also a liar and a cheater.
Lindsay, hitting a vehicle and leaving is low even for you.
This girl really has some growing up to do, and at this pace she will end up dead. The truth is, she surrounds herself with people who wont even care. I hope her career suffers and she learns the hard way that karma is a bitch.
Unfortunately it seems like no one takes these things very seriously when it happens to starlets like Lindsay. It will probably make people more interested in her. I wouldn t be surprised if she follows in the footsteps of Paris and keeps driving around.
I have news for you, driving drunk is not a joke. She is lucky she didn t kill someone although I am sure she would have driven away if she had.
Lindsay Lohan is likely to face cocaine possession charges after the drug was found following a car crash in Beverly Hills early today.
The Georgia Rule actress was not seriously injured in the 5.30 a.m.
crash on Sunset Boulevard, but she was taken to Century City Hospital for treatment to her upper chest, Lt. Mitch McCann said during a press conference.
The cocaine was recovered during the investion, McCann said.
Lindsay was driving her black Mercedes convertible when she clipped the curb and hit bushes on Sunset Boulevard. McCann said she was quickly transported to the hospital by an associate who was driving a different car.
Lindsay s car received major damage, McCann said.
Police charged her with DUI at the hospital, and McCann said: additional chages may be filed.
Lindsay had been at Les Deux nightclub, and then went on to a private party in the Hollywood Hills, and to the Skybar at the Mondrian hotel, In Touch has learned.
She went home and then decided to go out again, and that is when she got into the accident at the junction of Sunset Boulevard and Foothill Drive.
The accident comes just 14 weeks after Lindsay, who at 20 is still too young to drink legally, left rehab.
I wonder how long it will be before Lindsay sheds her clothing for Playboy? Now that the whole world knows that she loves , why not get naked for us too?
Seriously though, I don t know why Lindsay would waste her time with a guy who would discuss the intimate details of their sex life with friends and the press. I am so against that. I wouldn t be surprised if Lindsay tells people this stuff herself because she is such an attention whore.
I guess no publicity is bad publicity, especially in the case of Lindsay Lohan, her acting talent hasn t been getting recognition lately. She has been actually been getting more recognition for her poor acting, bad attitude and unproductive partying. Lindsay s reputation has gone down the drain recently and rumors of her being a beast in bed are not going to make people take her any more seriously as an actor.
So where is the Lindsay Lohan sex tape hiding? We know it has to exist, every kinky person has taped themself. Maybe when Lindsay s career takes a big dive it will surface.
I think a lot of us would like to see just how insatiable Lindsay is. I actually imagine her to be a bit gawky and awkward in the sack but according to Calum, she is the BEST. I will believe it when I see it.
Well I will be waiting around for a video, of course images would be great too. Not those nudes, we want the real deal.
And now for today s episode of the overwrought, implausible telenovela that is Lindsay Lohan s real life.
When we last left off, model Sara Kova was telling us how Lindsay s current boyfriend, Calum Best, had kissed and caressed her last weekend at the Bahamian nightclub Aura - while Lindsay was in the other room.
Lindsay must have gotten a heads-up about our story on Monday, because that evening found her angrily returning to the hotel where she and her British beau have been staying (in separate suites).
Looking a little worse for wear after another night out, Lindsay was screaming about how Calum was cheating on her, says our spy.
Best wasn t among the friends who were with the Georgia Rule star. But she apparently wanted to give him a piece of her mind. Trouble is, our snitch says, she seemed to forget where his room was.
A friend of Lindsay finds this hard to believe. She knows where his room is - unfortunately, says the pal, who is not a big fan of Best.
Our source says hotel guests were starting to complain about Lohan s teeth-gnashing, prompting one of the managers to escort her gently to her own suite.
It s just as well she didn t surprise Best in his. Late last week, a room-service staffer is said to have found Best with another woman when he asked that his minibar be restocked around 4 a.m.
According to our source, Best had his shirt off and the girl was on the bed when the urgent delivery of little booze bottles arrived. Best is said to have invited the room-service guy to grab a tip from a pile of cash, saying: It s Lindsay s money. I don t care.
(He also didn t seem to care who saw some other stuff most people would hide if a stranger knocked.)
Whatever their issues, Lindsay and Calum seemed to have worked them out by Tuesday night, when they hit the town yet again, stopping at Bungalow and Stereo (where they chatted with Lindsay s former flame Jamie Burke).
So why is one of Hollywood s most promising actresses attracted to this Best bloke?
Maybe he resembles Michael Lohan, the cocky, carousing father from whom she s estranged. No doubt, Michael would have gotten on with Calum s dad, the late soccer legend George Best, who famously said, I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
