See Lea Michele’s fashion style photos and video

In the grand tradition of Britney Spears, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashlee Simpson, Jenny McCarthy, Alyssa Milano, and others, "Glee" actress Lea Michele is a Candie's girl! The 25-year-old, who already starred in the brand's spring promos, has just debuted photos for its back-to-school campaign, titled "You're the One." In the pics, Michele sports Candie's colorful fashions while traipsing and then biking down a city street, encountering a handsome fellow (who's not boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith!), and posing with some just-purchased shoes — Candie's, of course, which are now available at Kohl's department stores.


Fans can expect to begin seeing the images in print ads by August, and a commercial — Michele's first for the brand — in the next week. "The idea behind the commercial is very cute," Michele says. "I'm walking down the street, pass by a Kohl's store and this amazing pair of Candie's shoes in the window catch my eye. Well, there just so happens to be a stock boy working in the window, and while I'm staring at the shoes, falling in love with them, he thinks I'm looking and falling in love with him, but girls love their shoes so..."

Michele also was recently photographed on a European tour with Monteith. The couple reportedly traveled with "Glee's" Matthew Morrison and his girlfriend as they saw London, Amsterdam, and Paris, where they checked out the Versace Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week. Fun! But how many pairs of shoes do you think Michele bought along the way?

Niki Taylor tattoos photos

 

Who knew a pretty face wasn't enough in the fashion industry — especially when you're Niki Taylor! But that's the case for the supermodel who has quite a few tattoos on her 5'11" body, so she's in the very painful process of removing four of them, including a fairly large cover-up piece on her right arm, which she says is the one that is often the "deal breaker" to potential clients. "I am removing it because it is stopping me from getting some work I think," Taylor tells omg! of the ink on her right forearm, which is a hodgepodge of cover-ups over the years. She got the original, "Amor Vincit Omnia," Latin for "Love conquers all," in 2002 to match one belonging to her then-boyfriend Keith Urban, who has since covered his as well. "People's eyes go right to it. It doesn't matter how acceptable tattoos are or how many people have them, [attention] goes right to this one on my arm so I've decided to remove it, although I still do have tattoos in other places."

In addition to the Polynesian-inspired band on her arm, Taylor, 37, is also lasering off a tattoo on her left wrist and two on her back. The pain of the process, she says, exceeds that of childbirth — and she delivered twins! "I'd rather give birth than have my tattoo removed, that's how painful it is," says the mom of four. (In addition to Jake and Hunter, 17, from her first marriage, Taylor also has Ciel, 3, and Rex, 8 months, with hubby Burney Lamar.) "It's quick, but going through it is so … it's like a burning, snapping shock through your whole body and you're just like [screams] 'Is it over yet? Why did I ever put this tattoo on my arm?'"

Taylor says her baby son Rex, 8 months, laughs all the time. (Twitter)

She may not be getting any more tats, but Taylor hasn't counted out having another baby. Although she says she and Lamar, a racecar driver, are "super super busy" with their brood of four, she adds, "you never know. Rex makes you want to have five more because he's so stinking cute and happy." If the couple does have more kids, they certainly have the extra hands — Taylor's teenage sons — to help take care of them. "I just asked them this not too long ago, 'What do you think of your sister and little brother?'" she says. "They're men with very few words right now for me — with their friends, it's totally different. They think Ciel is funny and just a hoot because she's a tornado right now and she's into everything, just kind of a tomboy, but she's really, really cute with Rex … All of them are in the different stages and I'm loving every minute of it. They help out and they're good babysitters."

Taylor and her identical twins, Jake and Hunter, who are taller than mom. (Twitter)Although little Ciel is a bit of a tomboy now, Taylor notes that's exactly how she was growing up before she landed her first modeling deal at the tender age of 13. And if her daughter wanted to follow in her famous footsteps also at a young age, the supermodel — who once appeared on the covers of six major women's magazines in the same month — says she would "absolutely" be okay with it. (Similarly, Taylor's sister Krissy started began posing alongside her older sibling at 11, before her sudden and very sad death at age 17 from an asthma attack in 1995.) Unlike fellow supermodel Cindy Crawford, who pulled her 10-year-old daughter Kaia from the business after a controversial photo shoot for Versace's children's line, Taylor says she'd be all for it if "[Ciel] was having fun and she was looking forward to it and wanted to pursue it … I would be with her. I would always be with her. Yeah, I definitely would encourage it, absolutely."

Ciel loves to accessorize. (Twitter)Much like other models before her, including Crawford and Kathy Ireland, Taylor is looking to move into starting her own lifestyle brand, which would include clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. She's still in the early stages (she hopes to have it on shelves in spring 2013), but she already has the perfect name: Taylored by Niki Taylor. "I've been in the fashion industry over 20 years, so I know it's in my blood," she tells omg!. "I know a lot about it … My wish, my prayer is to have it in like a TJ Maxx or Marshalls or Wal-Mart because price points are very important. I want to still be stylish and look good, but not spend an arm and a leg for things, but have stuff that's made very well."

And if she wasn't busy enough, Taylor has another passion project: encouraging Americans to give blood as part of her position as an ambassador for the Red Cross. It's a mission she was never even aware of until tragedy struck in 2001 when the model was involved in a near-fatal car accident — and she needed 100 units of donated blood to survive. In addition to raising awareness through blood drives, Taylor also posed for the Nexcaregive campaign and modeled their "Timeless" bandages, which feature designs inspired by decades from the '50s through the millennium. Taylor is urging Americans to give blood this summer because the season is typically a time when blood donations are at their lowest "because there are distractions and people are going on vacations … so it's a very important time," she explains. "There will be six million people who are going to need blood transfusions just this year in the U.S., so we have to meet those demands."

Comic-Con officially started Wednesday night, and the cast of Breaking Dawn Part 2 kicked off the four-day-long convention early with a stylish bang at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Ashley Greeneshowed off a ladylike head-to-toe Oscar de la Rentalook, right down to her silver metallic bow-accented pumps, while Nikki Reed opted for an edgier take on cocktail dressing via a gold Etro number. Yesterday über-couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Patinsonjoined in the fun, looked cool in their off-duty 'fits. This is just the beginning, and we have a feeling that as the panels ramp up, we'll be seeing enviable ensembles from the likes of The Vampire Diaries'Nina Dobrev and Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke, too. For now, see how Comic-Con's fashion frenzy is shaping up — and be sure to check back for even more style updates.

Ashley Greene hit up the Breaking Dawn Part 2party in head-to-toe Oscar de la Renta. We especially love how she accessorised her already ladylike look with girlie bow-accented pumps

Maggie Grace channeled a tougher kind of glamour by pairing black leather shorts with gladiator sandals and a rocker-chick hairstyle.

Nikki Reed pulled off this quirky metallic-meets-bold-prints Etro look with ease. To make sure the ensemble didn't overwhelm, she complemented her dress with sleek black peep-toe pumps and a gold snakeskin clutch.

Elizabeth Reaser paired a white t-shirt with a watercolour-floral skirt and cage-inspired heels at theBreaking Dawn Part 2 party in San Diego. 

Kristen Stewart skipped the formal shindig Wednesday night in favour of the press conference yesterday. We think the casual dress code was more her thing!<

Kate Middleton's Stripper Cousin is Katrina Darling Does Playboy

KATE Middleton has a cousin who is a raunchy burlesque dancer, it has emerged today.

With the patriotic tones of Rule Britannia ringing out and a fur-trimmed crown atop the young lady’s head, you might think a princess has entered the room. Think again.

For the centre of attention in this scene is not Prince William’s bride-to-be Kate Middleton, but her cousin Katrina Darling.

And things take a somewhat less-than-regal turn as the 20-year-old blonde begins seductively to shed her Union Flag dress.

The Daily Mail reports Miss Darling is a burlesque dancer and her signature act, aptly titled God Save The Queen, ends with her attired in nothing more than red nipple tassels and a barely-there thong.

It is the Royal Family’s closest brush with ‘soft porn’ since Prince Andrew’s love interest Koo Stark appeared naked in an erotic film.

Her role in the risque movie, Emily, famously ended the 18-month relationship after the Palace deemed her unsuitable.

So one wonders what ‘the firm’ would make of Miss Darling’s act which, although arguably patriotic, is unlikely to secure an invitation to the royal wedding.

The dancer had no idea she was related to Miss Middleton when she created her regal striptease last year.

But it has since emerged from her family tree that the pair are second cousins, once removed, with her grandmother Jane Darling being sister to Miss Middleton’s great-grandfather Thomas Harrison.

Fish Huang and You Ya-ting wedding (photos and video)

Two women plan to tie the knot next month in Taiwan's first same-sex Buddhist wedding, as gay and lesbian groups push to make the island the first society in Asia to legalise gay marriage

Fish Huang and her partner You Ya-ting, both 30, will receive their blessings from Master Shih Chao-hui at a Buddhist monastery in north Taiwan's Taoyuan county on August 11.

"We decided to get married last year," Huang told AFP Wednesday. "After being together for six years, we feel we need to make a life-long commitment to each other."

As a group of Buddhist monks and nuns chant sutras, the couple, both wearing white gowns, will declare their love for each other in a ceremony expected to be witnessed by dozens of close friends.

Huang, a social worker at a Buddhist cultural foundation, said her mother had promised to attend the event but her father remained undecided.

"My father likes Ya-ting, and he says the marriage will make him feel like he has one more daughter," Huang said.

"Still, time and again, he has voiced his hope that I marry a man... In fact, my decision to marry Ya-ting is also meant to make him drop the thought."

You's parents are still reluctant to agree to the planned marriage even though it will have no legal force, Huang said.

Taiwan is one of the most culturally liberal societies in East Asia, and gay and lesbian groups have been urging the government for years to make same-sex marriage legal.

In an event aimed at creating awareness about the issue, about 80 lesbian couples tied the knot in August last year in Taiwan's biggest same-sex wedding party, attracting about 1,000 friends, relatives and curious onlookers.

The island's cabinet in 2003 drafted a controversial bill to legalise same-sex marriages and allow homosexual couples to adopt children.

However, President Ma Ying-jeou has said public consensus was needed before the government can move ahead with the law.

Master Shih Chao-hui, who will perform the ceremony and is seen as a liberal on social issues, said her act would reflect the spirit of Buddhism.

"I would like stand up to give blessings to the couple because I hope my step can embody the spirit of Buddhism spreading compassion throughout the world," said Shih, who is also a professor at Buddhist Hsuan Chuang University.

"As a matter of fact, Buddhist teachings do not discriminate against gays and lesbians and do not consider human desires as a sin although they do call for restraint."

However, there is no consensus among Taiwanese Buddhist clerics about the issue, as reflected in the words of Master Huei Kai, a professor at Fo Guang University in the south Taiwan's Kaohsiung city.

"True, no ancient Buddhism scriptures mention gays, but that does not necessarily mean that Buddhism agrees to them," he told the United Daily News, a Taipei-based newspaper.

Given lingering resistance, Taiwan LGBT Family Rights Advocacy, a Taipei-based non-government group that is organising the upcoming ceremony, said Master Shih Chao-hui's involvement was significant.

"As a respected Buddhist master, her move may somewhat change the biased attitude of lots of people," Wu Shao-wen of the rights group said.
