So just a word of warning: if Chris Hansen invites you over to watch a rerunof last night’s […]

Continuing her reign as the flawless face of Swarovski, Miranda Kerr stars in the crystal-maker?s 2015 holiday campaign.
The Australian model gets cozy-chic for the shoot, wearing a mix of sweaters, blazers and skirts. In the advertisements and behind-the-scenes photos, the 32-year-old dazzles in white and sparkling gems, which she helped design.
Miranda previously talked to WWD about collaborating with the crystal-maker. ?This is another extension of my creative side. What I really enjoy doing is creating pieces that are not only beautiful but also meaningful. Like with this collection, each little charm has a special meaning.?

Apparently the Teen Choice Awards were held in LA last night, which I didn’t watch because, despite the fact that I still live in my mom’s basement, I’m a full-grown adult. But according to my sources, Britney Spears won the Style Icon Award, and I’ve gotta say, I was a little surprised by that, considering […]

| | Brad Pitt admits that he made some early mistakes with Make It Right NOLA | | Added 8 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

God, I just realized that we?re coming up on the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Time flies. Because the tenth anniversary is coming up so quickly (within days), Brad Pitt sat down for an exclusive interview with the New Orleans Times-Picayune/Nola.com. Pitt started Make It Right NOLA a few years after half of New Orleans was decimated by both Katrina and bureaucratic catastrophe and now, seven years later, Pitt?s MIR NOLA has built 109 homes in the Lower Ninth Ward. These homes are designed by architects like Shigeru Ban, Thom Mayne, Frank Gehry, they are all eco-friendly and they all have solar panels. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
Pitt on working with world-famous architects: “Listen, we were very fortunate that they would come in, but they felt the need as well. Actually, this is the definition of architecture: It is solving problems through design. And, again, we’re not talking about aesthetics; we’re talking about function, and that is the holy grail of architecture.?
The Lower 9th: “I think it first became a 21st-century disaster attraction, unfortunately. This became the icon of the place that was hit the hardest and suffered the most, certainly in one condensed area. It certainly seemed to illustrate man’s failure in this particular area. The message (of Make It Right) was to take this spot that was emblematic of such human failure and to make it a human success story on how we can build in the future, how we can build for families, how we can build with quality, and how we can build with the community under their guidelines.”
Early mistakes: ?We went into it incredibly nave, just thinking we can build homes — how hard is that? — and not understanding forgivable loan structures and family financial counseling and getting the rights to lots and HUD grants and so on and so forth. So it’s been a big learning curve.”
Interesting details about the money: According to figures provided by Make It Right, Pitt’s visionary recovery neighborhood has cost $26.8 million. The houses have been sold at a loss, as was always part of the plan, for an average of roughly $150,000 each, with financial assistance to make the mortgages affordable. In exact terms, Make It Right reports that it has provided $5.2 million in supplementary loans that needn’t be repaid and another half-million to cover up-front mortgage costs (closing costs). The cash to fuel the project has come mainly from donations and federal grants. In the first year of the project, $12.3 million came in. In 2011, when the banking crisis deadened the economy, donations dropped to one-sixth that much. Last year, the figure was back up to roughly $6 million, a respectable amount considering that time has naturally dimmed the public’s interest in New Orleans’ ongoing recovery.
Filming in NOLA: “We bring a lot of films down there, our production company. New Orleans is such a great place to shoot and the rebates are phenomenal, so it’s not a big fight with the studios. They’re more than happy for us to get back down there. It’s a very rich place to shoot. It’s my excuse to get back there.”
He?s not going to be in NOLA for the 10-year anniversary: “We’re doing a satirical piece on war, a satirical piece on the decisions that bring about war. That’s the best I can do at the moment.?
[From NOLA.com]
It?s an interesting piece because Pitt addresses some of the criticisms lodged at MIR NOLA directly, like the idea of building affordable, sustainable, environmentally sound homes on a budget is a total pipe dream? which the figures sort of prove. But Pitt?s defense is interesting, because he basically says that MIR NOLA wasn?t just about the immediate need for quality lower-income housing in the 9th Ward, it was about figuring out the prototypes that would function all over the country, that MIR NOLA was always meant to be a larger experiment. While I think that?s fine to have larger goals and an eye on the bigger picture for the future of low-income sustainable housing, I also sort of believe that there was some false advertising in how Pitt originally began MIR NOLA. People gave money because they believed Pitt was working towards making homes for New Orleans families only to see the mission statement change mid-stream. Still? it?s an interesting project and I do admire the fact that he stuck with it.

Here are some photos from last night?s Teen Choice Awards in LA. You can tell that it?s a kid-oriented awards show because I have no idea who half the people are, and the other half? well, I know their names but I?m not sure why they?re famous. You can see the full list of Teen Choice winners here ? it?s a list of people who mostly didn?t bother showing up.
Someone who did show up? Ms. Britney Spears. She was given the Candie?s Choice Style Icon and she brought her sons Jayden and Sean to the show. She also brought her niece Lexie. Brit-Brit wore this Mikael D which is not really flattering or all that cute, but it?s good to see her in something sort of different. Britney also rocked some ombre hair/extensions. There were rumors last week that Britney has finally ?clicked? during her Las Vegas show and she?s actually showing some glimpses of the old ?I?m A Slave 4 U? Brit-Brit ? go here to see some Vines and such. While on the red carpet for the Teen Choice Awards, Britney chatted with E! News about whether she would consider signing a new deal in Vegas, since her current residency is done in October. Britney said: ?I’m not really sure. I haven’t made up my mind. I really love doing the show. It’s a lot, a lot of fun but I’m kind of torn right now. I don’t really know what I want to do.”
More photos from the Teen Choice Awards? Keke Palmer in Giulietta. I love Keke but I didn?t even recognize her with these bangs! She looks so grown-up all of a sudden.
Lea Michele in Monique Lhuillier. Yikes. It could have been cute if she had done the dress with blue shoes instead of red and maybe done a ponytail?
Lucy Hale in Julien Macdonald. I?m pretty sure 20 other starlets have worn this dress or variations on this dress. Hale is? kind of forgettable.
Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano ? this is maybe my favorite outfit from the show. She looks young, fresh and cute. When she slipped on stage, she yelled ?Are you f?king kidding me?? Which is kind of funny.
I feel like Nina Dobrev in this Zuhair Murad is much too serious for the venue. Like, she?s all ?take me seriously, people!? and this just isn?t the awards show for that vibe.
Gina Rodriguez is absolutely adorable. Her dress is Alberta Ferretti and her hair is amazing. Does this young lady have a beauty contract yet? She could totally sell me some shampoo.

These supposedly are photos of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin getting massages during a photo shoot break. Because lord knows how tiring standing around and making faces at a camera can be. Kids stand around and make dumb faces too, yet they get by just fine.
That Hailey Baldwin face though. It’s like shejust finished having the most amazing sex ever.
