The Men of Glee in Alternative Apparel!

Mark Salling in Alternative Apparel

While television’s hottest shows are on hiatus during the summer months, Luello’s watchful team of celebrity fashion observers never cease to scour the recesses of the internet to find interesting celebs wearing our brands!

Two styles of Alternative Apparel clothing were worn by two different actors on one of television’s most-watched shows! Cory Monteith and Mark Salling of FOX’s hit show “Glee” wore a hoodie and a t-shirt, respecitvely, from AA’s collection of premium casual-wear!

We’re loving both the boys in their laid-back looks! However, these basic, casual clothes are inciting us to remember an episode of “Glee” in which the boys got considerably more dressed up! Check out the video below to see Cory, Mark and the other Glee boys dressed in tuxedos as they do a mash-up of “Free Your Mind” and “Stop In The Name of Love”!

Amy Winehouse, Back in Rehab & in J Brand

Amy Winehouse in J Brand Jeans

They tried to make her go to rehab- and this time they succeeded.

Amy Winehouse has officially checked back into rehab this weekend, but not before downing a bottle of vodka before stepping through the facility’s doors.

Considering there’s an entire website devoted to people guessing when Amy will finally meet her maker (see When Will Amy Winehouse Die?), reports that doctors told the singer that she has to drastically change her lifestyle or prepare to die are not particularly shocking.

Luckily for Amy, comfort and strength can be found in a good pair of jeans, so we suggest she carry on wearing denim by J Brand, as she did in the picture below! (too soon/insensitive?)

Shop Luello.com for more J Brand denim products, and watch Amy’s video for Rehab. Hopefully she’ll get clean and live to make many more glorious songs such as this.

A Musician and a Model Got Married

(I’ll never be able to stop with the alliterations)

Victoria’s Secret angel Lily Aldridge and King’s of Leon frontman Caleb Followill united their star power in wedded matrimony yesterday in Montecito California.

She wore a Vera Wang dress custom made with Chantilly lace and chiffon. She looked lovely, as anyone who wears Vera undoubtedly does.

The bride also took a cue from the Dutchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s wedding day style by opting for natural, barely-there makeup.

And everyone in the world is wondering if they played this song during the ceremony.

Lady Gaga’s Judas Video Released

Still from Lady Gaga's "Judas" video

Judas has descended upon the world.

Whether you’re a little monster (a.k.a, die-hard Gaga fan) or continue to watch all of Mother Monster’s wild antics with jaws dropped and fury mounting, she is the artist today who illicits the most reactions from the world- which counts for something.

Outrage and accusations of blasphemy were hurled at Gaga in regards to the video for Judas even before it was released. The Catholic Church condemned it, calling it another one of her attention-seeking, defaming stunts.

The video features Gaga, dressed as a dancing, outlandish Mary Magdalene, alongside Jesus, his motorcycle-gang of apostles, and Judas, who betrays him.

My opinion? It’s performance art- it’s stirring, visually-stimulating and capped off with pop-musical loveliness. Judas is not about disrespecting Christianity- it is a metaphor for the betrayal and self-destruction a person must contend with inside themselves.

Gaga markets her persona well, and I am buying.

Watch the video for Judas here.

This Just In: Stupid Baby Names Edition

When your mom is as insane as Mariah Carey, and your dad is as random (and some would say gold-digging) as Nick Cannon, I fully expect the children to grow up entirely messed up. Or they’ll become president. That’s the way the world is going these days (see Donald Trump’s presidential bid).

Mariah painted butterflies on her nine-month pregnant stomach, lives in Barbie’s dream home surrounded by nothing by Hello Kitty merchandise and her husband is equally certifiable because he considers all these antics to be business as usual.

Naturally, I expected the pair of them to give their babies stupid crazy names. And they did not disappoint.

Baby 1: Moroccan Scott Cannon

Baby 2: Monroe Cannon

And there you have it.

Their son, whose first name is an ADJECTIVE, sounds like some form of military artillery produced in North Africa, while their baby daughter was named after a drug-addicted sex symbol.

See below for further evidence of Mariah’s diagnosable insanity.

Taylor Momsen for John Galliano

First she became the face of Madonna’s “Material Girl” clothing line. Now designer John Galliano has chosen Taylor Momsen and her racoon-face to star in the ads for his new fragrance, “Parlez-Moi d’amour”.

A video ad, as well as a few photos, were released of Momsen’s campaign. She’s looking slightly more polished than she normally does (read: she might have showered before going to the photo-shoots, but her hair still looks like it hasn’t been washed since she played Cindy Lou Who) and the ad is beautifully shot. Nevertheless, watching the video still seems like a failed attempt of capturing the magic of “Moulin Rouge!”

The job with Galliano, of Christian Dior, came at the right time for Momsen: she’s off of Gossip Girl indefinitely (apparently because she wants to focus on her music, but most likely because she’s a brat and a poor actress) and needs something to fill her days with other than flashing concert-goers, talking about her vibrator and working on her Courtney Love impersonation.

Watch Momsen’s ad below, then treat yourself to a clip for “Moulin Rouge!” to see how the whole can-can, call-girl look is really done!

Rachel Berry/Lea Michele in J Brand denim!

Lea Michele in J Brand

I’m not going to pretend that I am not absolutely in love with Glee. It’s wonderful and cheerful and makes my heart happy and they sing wonderful songs and I love it. Which is why I was so happy that a cast member from Glee was finally photographed wearing one of Luello’s brands so that I could blog about it and have an excuse to post the video below, thereby making my life complete.

Here’s Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry, Glee’s resident diva with the most amazing voice and competitive attitude, wearing denim by J Brand jeans as she leaves her California home!

Now, check out her pair of J Brand jeans, click here to visit Luello’s selection of denim by J Brand, then watch the video below and picture me singing along to every single word (a difficult feat I know, but my friend and I have tri-weekly practice sessions so we can totally do it).

Last Minute Gift Ideas

What’s the status of Luello readers’ holiday shopping? Is everyone still frantically running around trying to scrounge up some last minute presents or has everyone taken advantage of Luello’s 12 Days of Giveaways promotion?

I certainly hope the everyone has turned to Luello and our exclusive deals for this non-denominational holiday season, as I would hate for you guys to have to resort to homemade presents as demonstrated in the following video:

First Glimpse of Nicole Richie’s Wedding Dress!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were married this Saturday and a photo of Nicole’s Marchesa wedding gown was just released! What’s more incredible than Nicole’s long-sleeved, part lace, part tulle-explosion dress is that she wore three different dresses designed by Marchesa throughout the night!

It’s like that when you’re Nicole Richie and you don’t have to choose between three different $20,000+ dresses ’cause Daddy sang “Endless Love”.

One of Three Marchesa Wedding Dresses Worn by Nicole Richie

I’ve also included a video of Lionel Richie’s song “Hello”, not because it’s particularly romantic or wedding-themed, but because this is my blog and I can.

What’s up now, world?
