Fashionista Victoria Beckham has made her way from Europe to NYC this week to prepare for her upcoming dVb show at NY Fashion Week as she was seen making her arrival at JFK Airport this weekend. As you can see by her attire, Vicki B. is still very much interested in appearing to wear dead animal skins despite the fact that the fur is faux:

The oversize sunglasses almost made her successful in passing through the airport incognito, but the tine frame and thin waistline made Victoria Beckham instantly recognisable. The star headed through JFK International Airport in New York for the start of Fashion Week, looking glamorous in a faux-fur top and tight leather trousers. The sunglasses and stilettos look is fast becoming a trademark for the fashionista – and the see-through top caught the eye as well. It has been a busy week for the celebrity. Last weekend she jetted over from Los Angeles to squeeze in 24 hours with hubby David Beckham in a London hotel, before she flew on to Milan. The Beckhams spent some quality time together at Claridge’s, ahead of a forced Valentine’s Day separation. They were spotted holding hands and kissing across the table at the restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s, before heading upstairs. Their clashing schedules meant she missed him match Bobby Moore’s record of 108 England caps during a 2-0 defeat to Spain.

As you may recall, VB was spotted wearing this very same faux fur last month (oh, the horror!) so she *must* really love the look to recycle it. I don’t get it, personally, but then again I don’t really understand a lot of VB’s fashion choices. If she wants to look like she’s wearing a dead thing, then more power to her. Faux is preferred to the real thing, I guess. I just hope no angry foxes get the wrong idea and try to eat her face in retaliation of this look.

Earlier this week we learned that the sheriff’s department in Richland County, SC decided to arrest 8 people (none of which were named Michael Phelps) in the wake of the photo scandal that erupted earlier this month when a photograph of 14-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps emerged that showed him puffin’ on a big-ass marijuana bong. Here are 6 mugshots of the regular folk arrested, courtesy of The Smoking Gun, and some info about their now tainted records:

While a South Carolina sheriff would apparently like to bust Michael Phelps for his role in Bonggate, investigators have so far had to settle for collaring several young alleged pot enthusiasts, none of whom actually has been charged with anything to do with the November party attended by the Olympic champion. On the following pages you’ll find mug shots of six arrestees (aged 17-24) who were rounded up this week in a crackdown triggered by the publication of the Phelps photo (a seventh person, a 23-year-old woman, was only cited for pot possession). Several of the residents were popped by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at the Columbia home where Phelps partied last year. Most were released after posting $570 on the misdemeanor count. One defendant had to post $832.50 because he was also charged with possession of a fake ID.

Seriously, this story is just so much bullshizz. Despite the fact that none of the regular folk arrested were busted for anything that had to do with the events of that infamous night the photo was snapped, the sheriff’s department STILL found it necessary to arrest them for something … because that would right the wrong? It’s ludicrous and stupid. If I were a resident of Richland County, I’d be livid that authorities in my jurisdiction were wasting their time on a witch hunt like this … for no apparent reason. I’m pretty sure that not ONE of these arrests will serve the public good in any way. It sucks that so many people have to suffer real consequences just because Michael Phelps got photographed with a bong. My advice for those of you who may find yourselves at a party attended by Phelpsie in the future … go elsewhere.

David and I spent a very happy Valentine’s Day together yesterday doing what we love to do best … as little as possible :) Yesterday afternoon, we ventured back to North Hollywood to sell off my refrigerator and hand in the keys to my old apartment to finally close that chapter of my life. Last night, we enjoyed a nice sushi dinner and then FINALLY made our way to see Friday the 13th at the AMC movie theater at Century City:

I gotta say, the movie was pretty much what I expected. Modern horror films have no interest in building up suspense and think that high body counts alone do all the scaring. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the film but, truth be told, I have to say that I really prefer the original 1980s film to this remake. I did like the nod to the 80s in the first 15 mins. of the film. If it weren’t for the GPS device and the iPod, everything about the cold open (the portion of the film before the film credit appears on screen) looked as if it could’ve been 1980 — the shaggy hair, the Star Wars t-shirt, etc. I thought that was pretty clever. I had a few probs with the storyline … like how unlikely it would be to have an expensive home on the banks of Crystal Lake when a killer like Jason Vorhees has been on the loose for the past 20 years. I also hated the way the Trent character was such a douchebag. Did you notice that the guy who played Trent in Friday the 13th (Travis Van Winkle) was the same actor who played the douchebag named Trent in the Transformers movie? WTF? So weird. To me, this remake felt more like a sequel … just 20-some odd years later. Overall, I enjoyed but it wasn’t the end-all, be-all. It would be very difficult to do true justice to a film like the original Friday the 13th — that film gave birth to the 80s slasher genre. In the 90s, Scream restarted the horror movie trend and in the 2000s, Saw gave birth to the horror porn genre. Films like these cannot really be duplicated … but I guess it’s nice to try every once-in-a-while. You can bet your sweet patoot that Friday the 13th Part 2 will be on the way.

This afternoon, David and I are heading to Santa Monica to pick up some things for our place and will likely meet up with some friends for dinner tonight. While VD may be dunzo, we still have our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday night to look forward to :)

Yippee!! It’s that time of the week to partake of the hawtness of the Hot Dude of the Week! Let’s all give a hearty welcome and say hello to David:

Ahh … David seems like the kind of chap that takes pride in his physical fitness and is happy to show off his hard work — lucky us :) While temperatures range from chilly (here in SoCal it’s 55°F) to downright cold (it’s 27°F in Detroit) it’s nice that seeing the nekkidness of David reminds us that warmer/happier times lie ahead. While we wait for the temps to get hotter outside, I’m glad we got Hot Dudes like David to warm us up on the inside :) Enjoy!!

The celeb news isn’t all about the couple lurve this Valentine’s Day weekend as new photos of Nick Lachey chillin’ with a buxom, mysterious blonde woman have made their way out of Paradise Island in the Bahamas this week. Nick was spotted enjoying some downtime by the pool this week with a lovely lady who is clearly NOT his girlfriend Vanessa Minillo while he was in the Bahamas to do some promo for … well, I dunno what he is promoting but that’s exactly what he was doing. Earlier this month I understand that Nick was spotted in Florida enjoying the SuperBowl festivities sans Vanessa … and now this solo trip to Paradise Island … could the couple’s separation be a sign of what’s to come?

Now, just because Nick Lachey was spied chatting up a Jessica Simpson-like blonde woman while he was away on a “work trip” without his girlfriend Vanessa Millio does NOT mean that A.) he is cheating on her or B.) they are breaking up or are having problems. These photos only show two people lookin’ friendly … in a beautiful resort town … without any significant others around to supervise. I’m sure it’s totally innocent. What do y’all think?

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, villainous foils to Lauren LC Conrad on MTV’s The Hills, were on hand to host a Valentine’s Day party at Pure nightclub inside Caesar’s Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV last night … here are a few photos of Speidi making their grand arrival on the red carpet:

When I think of VD, I think of Speidi … especially with all that lurve they are so happy to flaunt all over town. VD is absolutely synonymous with the likes of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, don’t you think? The couples were all smiles and kisses on the red carpet last night and, I understand, a grand time was had by all. Spreading VD cheer to everyone in close proximity is just the sort of thing one can expect from this happy couple! Don’t you wish you were there?
