Random Stuff I Want...

I was quite surprised to see that Fossil has put out an extremely un-Fossil-like line of vintage-inspired bags for the fall. Check out their Fifty-Four collection:

($265, Fossil)

($200, Fossil)

($145, Fossil)



($24, The Ryde)

Cali surf-lifestyle brand The Ryde makes comfy-casual but cute surf-inspired gear. Normally I'm not super into message Tees, but look closely -- can you even handle how cute their "Seamstress For The Band" Tee is??? I love that the shirt doesn't hit you over the head with its message, and I love the Built By Wendy-esque look.

Fragrance fiend Jo Malone is coming out with a white jasmine and mint cologne for the fall. Apparently it was "inspired by a sun drenched morning in am English garden, new White Jasmin & Mint captures the scent of jasmine, wild rose and white blossoms with an unexpected twist of wild mint." Notes include wild mint, peppermint leaf, camomile, coriander, cardamom, bergamot, mace, cassis, Jo Malone heirloom jasmine, ylang ylang, orange flower, rose de mai absolut, muguet, cedar, Jo Malone musk, mate absolut, vetiver, prune and guaiac wood... Um, I have no clue what guaiac wood is, but I'm willing to find out, because this sounds heavenly.

($82, Jessica Simpson, Zappos)

Both these shoes and Jessica Simpson are ridiculous, but I kind of love both of them in an inexplicable way. Silver shoes are huge this fall, and I wouldn't mind owning these. They're not bad in black either...

($98, Arena CPH, Saks Fifth Avenue)

This necklace, those black heels and some dark jeans and a black top would look the hotness. K, nightnight!

Britney rakes in $737,868 a month

TMZ has obtained documents from the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline hearing last Monday that reveal Spears's salary to be an average of $737, 868 a month. Federline's lawyer claims in a declaration filed last Monday that Spears "is clearly the 'monied party' in this case." The lawyer is asking Spears to front $50,000 for expenses in connection with the custody hearing, claiming his bill will be in excess of $40,000. The documents reveal that Federline is receiving $20,000 a month for spousal support but the payments end November 15. The papers also show that the LA County Department of Children and Family Services is investigating Spears for allegedly neglecting her kids. The allegations? Poor dental hygiene as well as poor eating and sleeping habits.

Ashley Olsen lands movie role

With Mary-Kate Olsen about to strut her stuff alone in Weeds, twin Ashley Olsen is about to make a naughty solo turn on the big screen. In addition to Olsen, the new Superman, Brandon Routh, is joining Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger in the Bret Easton Ellis adaptation of The Informers. Thornton will play a movie exec with Basinger as his wife, Rough will play a vampire and Olsen will play a sexually promiscuous girl. The story follows seven intersecting storylines taking place over one week in LA circa 1983.

Posh to appear on Ugly Betty

ABC confirmed this afternoon that Victoria Beckham will appear in a cameo on Ugly Betty in the coming season. An airdate hasn't been set, but her episode will film in the fall. She'll be playing herself, and herself is a bridesmaid at the gala wedding of Willhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) and Bradford Meade (Alan Dale). Beckham's cameo will be her first acting attempt on a U.S. TV series.

Britney's former manager finally served

Britney Spears's former manager Larry Rudolph was finally subpoenaed in the popstar's escalating custody battle. Rudolph "was served probably around 30 minutes ago," said the assistant manager at Sunset Tan in west LA this afternoon. "He's employed here. He's part owner." The process server was a woman. "We asked her who she was but she just said she had a meeting with [Rudolph]. After he walked in he said, 'Can I help you?' and she just handed the papers and left. He had no idea. He then said [to himself], 'Oh, okay. Yeah. They've been looking for me. This is for Britney Spears - Kevin Federline.' I was like, 'Really?' And he just stared out the window. You could tell he wasn't too happy about it." Rudolph had been trying to avoid being served because he felt his testimony under oath could hurt Spears's case.

Celeb Roundup

We don't focus too too much on famous folks here at Chez Binge, mainly because there are more than enough celebrity gossip sites out there, but a few celeb snaps caught my eye today.


I really like the dress Lauren "Don't Call Me L.C." Conrad wore to the Teen Choice Awards. Apparently she designed the dress herself. More pix here.


Also, I was psyched to see that the adorkable Justin Long (who's rumored to be dating Drew Barrymore - !!?!?) was wearing Modern Amusement, an indie Ben Sherman-esque men's line that I absolutely love.


Jennifer Garner does something or other in Japan. She looks so graceful and elegant yet not totally boring. Yay! (Photo via JustJared)


Rihanna looks like someone wrapped her in some kind of haute protective packaging at some bullshit Nascar event. I do like her shoe (singular) though. Looks like Ruthie Davis. (Photo via Rocklandusa.com)


I actually think Mischa Barton looks amazing in her Iceberg ads... though not as amazing as she looks on the August cover of Elle UK, despite those unforgivable disco bracelets that look like big, gay cantaloupes or something. (It actually took me a while to realize they were bracelets on her actual arms and not some overlay product shot).

The bangles, by the way are by British accessories designer Scott Wilson, who designed the piece for Matthew Williamson, who I kinda think looks like he could be Mischa's gay cousin. Don't they both sorta have a bit of that weird Care Bear stare situation happening?

Anyway, it certainly looks like she's come a long way from her denim days.


Also, I don't know what's more disconcerting: Amy Winehouse's drug probs or her in a bikini:

Also from The Superficial, I'm plotzing over this hilarious depiction of Lindsay Lohan doing drugs in rehab troubles:

According to reports, Lindsay was also said to have been caught having sex in a toilet stall with a male patient. She's also frequently late to meetings and refuses to do any chores or menial tasks such as washing up. Man, even in rehab this woman is unstoppable. She's like the Terminator, but instead of being programmed to kill she's been programmed to party. Earth could get hit by a meteor and Lindsay Lohan would be the only surviving creature, and instead of looking for other survivors or getting help, she'd just drink a beer and try to hump a corpse.

Ahhh it's funny cuz it's troo!
