Tampabay.com - St. Petersburg, FL, USA - Gregory Parkinson dresses fashion plates such as Brooke Shields and Shiva Rose. He's shown his collection on the runway in Los Angeles and New York. And he sells his color-drenched, vibrantly patterned clothes at some of the world's most exclusive stores.

But this day, he's elbow deep in a potful of purple dye, teaching us how to cook up spring's coolest ombre pieces at home.

"This isn't the tie-dye your parents wore," Parkinson says in his British accent.

No, it's not. The spring runways proved that tie-dye today is as artful a form of decoration as hand-beading or embroidery. The old starburst patterns

Santa Monica Mirror - Santa Monica, CA, USA - The good news is Lipstick Jungle is one of the best new shows on TV. The bad news is they use the show to continually push products at us, namely lipstick and clothing. That makes Lipstick Jungle too much like an infomercial. We might still watch, but we won’t respect ourselves in the morning. Lipstick Jungle, in fact, makes it blatant and true: direct product tie-ins like this died in the 1950s. Or did they?

TIVOs and DVRs have cut advertising saturation by roughly 12 percent. That amount of time lost as consumers happily skip the

San Francisco Chronicle - CA, USA - Brooke Shields' representatives have hit back at reports she has stalled filming on her latest TV show, "Lipstick Jungle," because of her excessive use of fake tanner.

The star was accused of lathering herself in fake tan by the show's guest star Leven Rambin, stating the actress was desperate to sport a bronzed look for scheduled sex scenes.

Rambin claims Shield went overboard with a tanning agent, turning herself orange and halting further filming on series.

However, Rambin's claim has been refuted by a spokesperson for Shields, who tells MSNBC.com's The Scoop the actress has never used self-tanning products: "This is totally not

Playfeed - USA - Remember those perfume ads back in the 1980’s for Parfums decoeur ‘Designer Imposters’? They went something like “if you like Giorgio you’ll love Primo!, if you like Opium you’ll love Ninja” or the more recent enticement, “If you like Juicy Couture you’ll love Yeah Baby.” It’s human to want a whiff of luxury at a bargain price - too bad the end result usually stinks.

NBC’s Lipstick Jungle reminds me of those ‘Designer Imposters’. The show, starring Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price, premiered last night.

If you’re confused and could have sworn Lipstick Jungle stars Lucy Liu and two other

I'm like, Who am I?''

MSNBC - USA - Brooke Shields may have a bold new role in NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle,” but she recently had to tread lightly playing Hannah Montana’s deceased mother.

That’s because Shields’ real-life daughter had a little trouble differentiating pretend from the real world during a recent scene with Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus.

“She was in the audience and I hugged Miley and I say, ‘It’s all right, Baby Girl, you’re going to be all right,’ ” Shields told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira on Thursday. “Well, I call my daughter ‘Baby Girl.’

“And Rowan stood up in the middle of the audience and said, ‘No, she’s my

Buffalo News - NY, United States - It is easy to arrive at the conclusion that two new series about unsatisfied powerful women are part of a left-wing Hollywood conspiracy to make Sen. Hillary Clinton look more sympathetic.

A month after producer Darren Star of HBO’s “Sex and the City” fame premiered his newest, ratings-challenged gal pal series, “Cashmere Mafia,” NBC trots out its own cliched, high-gloss, PG-13 “Sex” rip-off, “Lipstick Jungle.”

The series about the adventures of privileged working women living in a world lacking in racial diversity premieres at 10 tonight on WGRZ-TV.

“Jungle” is based on a book by Candace Bushnell, whose earlier book was the inspiration

TheCelebrityCafe.com - Valley Stream, NY, USA - Actress is a working mother in real life and in new role.

On Thursday, actress Brooke Shields told Today show co-host Meredith Vieira a story about her 4-year-old daughter, Rowan. According to MSNBC, Shields told Vieira that while filming a scene as Hannah Montana’s deceased mother with teen star Miley Cyrus, “[Rowan] was in the audience and I hugged Miley and I say, ‘It’s all right, Baby Girl, you’re going to be all right.' Well, I call my daughter ‘Baby Girl.’ And Rowan stood up in the middle of the audience and said, ‘No, she’s my momma for real life.’”

People Magazine - USA - Surveying the current Hollywood landscape – and the mounting number of youthful casualties of late – former child star Brooke Shields says she has no particular advice to offer young stars.

"I think a lot of these girls are young, and it's all so tempting," Shields, 42, tells Redbook in its September issue. "For some reason I wasn't tempted. I don't know why."

Looking back, she says, "Sometimes I wish I was a little more tempted to have a little more fun. But then I see them" – Shields mentions no one by name – "and someone will ask, 'Well, what do

USA Today - USA - A whole lot of uptown girls grooved to Billy Joel Saturday night.

Renee Zellweger, Kelly Ripa and Mary-Kate Olsen danced as Joel performed at the Social @ Ross concert, a series of events that is becoming the marquee bash of the already glitzy Hamptons party circuit. The musical extravaganzas previously featured Prince and the Dave Matthews Band, and with tickets selling for $4,000 each, it's no wonder the night is a lavish one.

Zellweger clapped her hands and danced with a mystery man to Joel's encore of Piano Man. Ripa grooved along with her husband, Mark Consuelos. Alec Baldwin stood in the
