Although Miley Cyrus’s photo shoot in Vanity Fair was extremely controversial, it doesn’t have the young star feeling any kind of regret. She even felt that the photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz inspired her to want to be a photographer.

“Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that’s more like the style, but the States are really conservative,” Cyrus told the UK’s Daily Record.

This is something we have all probably figured out on our own over the last couple of years, but Blake Fielder-Civil is taking full blame for his wife Amy Winehouse and her destructive addictions.

Britain’s News of the World is reporting Blake’s confession, stating that he said:

“I introduced her to heroin, crack cocaine and self-harming.  I feel more than guilty–now I have to let her go to save her life.  I am not abandoning her.  I am doing this out of love.”

Blake was released from Highpoint prison on November 5th and went directly into a treatment facility as part of a plea bargain for early release.  Fielder-Civil never let his bride know that he was being released early and the couple have not seen each other.

Check out the photo above - it looks like prison has done Blake some good.    Perhaps Amy would also benefit from some clink time.   Thus far, the authorities have continued to coddle her, which has not done anything to improve her situation from all outward appearances.

Speaking of appearances,  look at this photo of Amy before her demons took over.  It is amazing and she is beautiful.

Check out photos of Amy and Blake.

I’m so excited about this news according to WWD, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton is reviving the “hit 2001 collaboration with Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear.” This is great news since I missed out on the first collection, I was only able to get my hands on the graffitti pouchette! I’m going to save up my pennies and attempt to get the whole collection (who am I kidding?)!!! The collection “coincides with a retrospective — called “Rock on Mars” — at Deitch Projects’ 18 Wooster Street gallery from Jan. 8 to Feb. 28, and The Stephen Sprouse Book by Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha, due out from Rizzoli New York on Feb. 1. The impetus for the new line came when Deitch approached Jacobs and Vuitton about doing something related to the retrospective.” The collection hits LV stores worldwide on January 9, 2009- mark your calendars!

“I proposed putting together a Vuitton version of the Pop Shop, which was Keith Haring’s concept…not reissuing products that we had done with Stephen, but doing things that were similar or new,” Jacobs said.

The collection consists of two iconic Sprouse motifs, the graffit and the rose and will be interpreted into Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. “The motifs are featured on Vuitton’s Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design.”

On December 15th, a special website welovesprouse.com will go live which “feature a mix of interviews with people who knew Sprouse, including Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Field. In the clips, they muse on their relationship with Sprouse, and his lasting influence on the fashion and art worlds. There will also be a feature called Scrawl the Wall, where visitors can post comments, and a special section on Sprouse’s New York, highlighting some of the artist’s favorite haunts in the city.”

I simply can not wait, I’m having a good morning! Are you excited? What items are you planning to buy? I think I want all haha!!!

More pics after the jump…

Ricki Lake is an actress and tabloid talk show host who is best known for her long running Ricki Lake Show and a recurring role on King of Queens.  She made some significant life style changes in early 2007 and has lost 140 pounds ‘the old fashioned way‘.  She once tipped the scales at 270 pounds and still can’t believe that she was ever overweight now that she has become accustomed to her new form.

The 40 year old mother of two sons, credits her daily delivery of prepared meals from Fresh Dining.  The organic fare satisfies her and keeps her on track but she does worry that something could throw her off balance.   She stays active and is satisfied with her current weight but does admit that she is guilty of wanting to lose more.  Not immune to the pressures of staying thin, she said, “According to Hollywood standards, I’m not a thin girl, I’m a normal girl.”

The holiday season can pose problems for many people who suddenly lose their resolve and succumb to full blown grazing.  She weighed in on the dilemma by saying, “I will be really conscious because I have this book coming out and I want to look great.  I don’t need to lose any more weight but I don’t want to go backwards.  So I’m not going to pig out this Christmas.”

We checked out the website and discovered that Fresh Dining, located in Southern California, was founded in 2005 and offers five plans:  Fresh Dining, Fresh Lite, Healthy Lifestyle, Fresh Mommy and Whole Family.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are set to receive $2 million for pictures of their newborn baby.The married couple - who welcomed their first child together, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, into the world last week - could receive the staggering amount for the first exclusive shots of their son.

Publicist Howard Bragman said: “I see Ashlee and Pete coming in at the low seven figures mark.”

“Two million seems like a good, solid figure for Ashlee and Pete. It’s a two-celeb couple, so that’s a boost for them.”

“Keep in mind, last year, Ashlee was the girl who sang along to the tape recorder.”

“It was a PR nightmare. Now, she’s a newlywed and a new mom, so she’s a lot more relatable.”

Bragman also said Ashlee should take heed from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who reportedly received $20 million for the first photo shoot with their twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.

He added: “Nobody does this better than Angelina.”

“She and Brad Pitt have been very careful to make it clear that the money they’ve been getting has been part of their charity outreach work.”

“The big bucks are a nice perk, but for them, the publicity is priceless.”
