Spotlight Saturday - Paula Abdul

Paula Abdul is in the spotlight today rocking the late 40's and looking better than ever.  She was seen at the first round of Fox's, The X Factor where she'll be co-judging with Simon Cowell this Fall.  She looked totally fab in a draped purple Yves St. Laurent asymmetrical hemmed mini dress and matching YSL sandals.  Abdul has definitely restructured her reputation and recovered from the bad rap she's had during the course of the past decade for her alleged drug addiction.  Back in 2007 she made a poor decision by agreeing to do a reality show on Bravo which portrayed her as a needy berating diva who relied on everyone for everything.  I don't think I'll ever understand why celebrities with so much star power feel the need to live their lives in a fish bowl?

Sylvester Stallone...Action Hero Fashion Designer

Action Hero & movie star extraordinaire Sylvester Stallone was in the news this weekend because he's decided to launch a new men's clothing line inspired by his hit flicks Rocky and Rambo.  Since Rocky wore hoodies and sweat pants and Rambo went shirtless in camouflage, that ought to be interesting!  His designs are said to be in production and will be making their debut in 2012 at mid range stores such as Macy's making it affordable for the 25 to 40 year old age bracket he's targeting.

The 64 year old Stallone said he became truly interested in style after filming Rambo II at which time he had shed 25 pounds and none of his old clothing fit him anymore.  He ended up turning to custom tailored pieces and when collaborating with tailors in Italy he got a feel for fabrics, textures and patterns. He definitely has the bucks to invest his efforts in this endeavor so if it flops it's definitely not going to hurt his bank roll, however I personally don't see him ranking up their with Hilfiger anytime in the near future...
