Rest in Peace Natasha Richardson. We Offer our Condolences to Liam Neeson and his sons.

Mar 19, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Celebs

She passed away at the devastatingly young age of 45. Natasha unfortunately did not recover after falling during a ski lesson on Monday in Montreal. “Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”

We can only offer our condolences to her family and stress the importance of wearing a helmet in any sport.  Natasha was only on the bunny slopes, which goes to show that an accident can occur when you least expect it. We lost a friend in a tragic bike accident on the local streets of a small Cleveland suburb. You just never know. It may not seem cool to wear a helmet but it saves lives, plain and simple!

Mr. Chow–Worst Restaurant in NYC! Lindsay Lohan Likes it here?

Mar 18, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Celebs, Restaurant Review

Ever wondered how you can blow your money as fast as possible? Hmm, try Mr. Chow’s restaurant! We can only speak for the heinousness that took place at the NYC location but what happened here was hella-wrong! First of all, let me preface this by saying that I knew what I was in for when we reserved a table at Mr. Chow’s. I knew it was a pretentious, celebrity mecca where the food and drinks would undoubtedly be over-priced. What I didn’t know was that in no way, taste or form would they be worth it. In fact, I would have to say, skip the Mr. Chow experience and order from your local Chinese takeout, dive.

We were ushered in and quickly escorted to our table, which was swimming in a sea of white vomitotious, decor, which was desperately trying to overcompensate for the lack of any sort of ambiance. We were asked if we wanted champagne and tried to turn it down. After heavy persuasion about the celebratory mood we absolutely needed to experience we finally caved and ordered a round for the four of us. We begrudgingly accepted a second round now that our inhibitions had clearly been defeated. Our waiters finally graced us with his presence and informed us that he’d be picking our meals out for us.

Ahem, what? I don’t know if you’ve ever dined with four Jews before but letting a stranger pick our cuisine was just not in the cards, especially with a vegetarian on our hands. After fierce arguments ensued between our party and the staff we finally won (take that!) and ordered from the a la carte menu.

You may think being able to order what we wanted was a coup but you’d be wrong. The food was absolutely terrible. The Chinese Bolognese that once made my mouth water actually made me want to vom. Everything else we ordered (especially the non-vegetarian stuff) also fell short of my expectations. The food could not have been less original or more bland. I mean Lindsay Lohan eats here doesn’t it have to be good? Oh wait, she just drinks champagne and eats carrot sticks… small oversight. The portions were tiny and so we finished the meal just as we had come in…starving. Perhaps a little tipsy…but starving!

La La La I thought to myself as I visualized myself picking up a plain slice of pizza on my way home and then the bill came. Dun Dun Dun…..$448 for 4 people for barely any food. How much was the champagne? $35 a glass, a fact they cleverly chose not to share with anyone. Clearly, I can’t blame them. We should have asked, but it won’t stop me from irrationally despising them. However, as we looked more closely at the bill we realized that they had overcharged us for several items never ordered and I’m guessing thought we wouldn’t notice the padding due to our champagne bliss….wrong! We obviously immediately complained and had the bill reduced. Still…NOT WORTH IT.

Under no circumstances would I try this restaurant! Ever. Ever. Ever. I don’t care if it’s your 50th wedding anniversary or your dog’s 14th birthday. Whatever the occasion–you’d be better off at Domino’s! Seriously.

Rock & Republic Lip Gloss! My Lip-gloss, is Poppin!

Mar 18, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Beauty

Rock and Republic, the maker of the most perfect ass-hugging jeans eva have done it again. They have now made their way into the cosmetics arena! The packaging is decadent; it’s black and chrome and made very well. You feel very special putting it on because it feels like  you’re Paris Hilton with some $90 lip gloss. The product names aspire to capture Hollywood Glam with names like “trust fund,” “train wreck” and a shade of red lip gloss called “cougar.” I tried Conspiracy Noir Lip Gloss and it’s awesome. It’s soft though and sheer. I keep it in my desk at work and I’m pretty sure it’s tempting everyone to come makeout with me. Just kiddinggggggggggg. We can only vouche for the lipgloss but it did last a while for lip-gloss.

Available at Nordstrom, Neimans and Saks.

Eyeshadow $28.00
Luxe Lipgloss $ 26.00
Mousse Blush 28.00

And in case you wanna jam a bit about your lip gloss, go ahead. We heart Lil’ Mama!
