Pop Quiz! [Joy Bryant]
Yale dropout-turned-model-turned-actress Joy Bryant has a column on The Huffington Post in which she writes about a run-in with fashion racism: "It was the casting for a VERY famous designer. I was on line for at least an hour or so, which SUCKS but that's what you got to do, so you do it. I finally get to the room, where the VERY famous designer is sitting at a long table with a few associates. I say hello, hand my portfolio over, and proceed to 'walk' (please reference 'Top Model'). I do so and then the V

Joy Bryant Weds Stuntman Fiancé in the Hamptons
Joy Bryant wed her stuntman fiancé David Pope in beachside ceremony at a private residence in Amagansett, N.Y. on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed. The actress and former model, 31, wore a custom dress designed by her friend Angela Missoni at the ceremony, which was attended by about 100 guests. Afterwards, Bryant changed into a floral Missoni dress. The groom, 37, sported a grey Calvin Klein Collection suit.

BEYONCE & JAY-Z LOVE THE CHILDREN!
Newlyweds, The Carters, attended last night’s Children Benefit Fall Gala at Cipriani’s 42nd Street in NYC. Jay-Z is really starting to tick me off with those damn shades…you’re at a gala not the 40/40 club, please leave the stunna shades at home. Meanwhile, Beyonce rocked a Roland Muret dress (most recently worn by JLo). But what’s with those shoes and the over-accesorizing?! Have we not learned that less is more? Among the power couple, others in attendance include Gayle K

Joy Bryant Rejects Yale for Modeling; Modeling Rejects Her for Being Black
She’s Jessica Alba’s BFF in Honey — maybe that’s how you know Joy Bryant. But more recently, she appeared in The Rachel Zoe Project as one of Rachel’s regular puppets. I adore Joy always, because (a) she’s inspired me to learn how to surf at Roxy’s Surf Camp (where she learned!) and because (b) she’s beautiful. Today, she blogged for The Huffington Post, all about why and how she dropped out of Yale for modeling, how she’s had to defend her “brain

Jay-z and his servant…
Jay-z and Beyonce made a grand entrance at the New Yorkers for Children Fall Gala Dinner last night at Capriani’s New York.  I make old married couple jokes about these two all the time as Bey tends to look like she has the life sucked out of her when she’s with her husband. But, then again, if blind items were revealed: WHICH music mogul treats his superstar wife like she’s a servant? But she doesn’t mind. “She’s Southern and thinks men should be the boss,” laugh

Beyonce And Jay-Z: Old, Society Couple
Beyonce and Jay-Z, along with some other usual suspects (seriously, how is Joy Bryant everywhere at once?), attended the New Yorkers For Children Fall Gala last night. Apparently, Jay-Z judged it to be one of those sunglasses-are-appropriate-indoors events.

Just Asking: Were we the only ones who noticed the prominently placed Restylane commercial during last night's episode of The Rachel Zoe Project? And was it at all bizarre that the ad placed on almost exclusive emphasis on filling in wrinkles surrounding the mouth? What exactly are you trying to say, Bravo?

Rachel Zoe, Stop Trying to Make 'I Die' Happen [So Why Don't You?]
newVideoPlayer("/zoedie_def.flv", 506, 423,""); In the annals of Bravo catchphrases, there are those that hit ("Make it work!") and those that miss (like Jonathan Adler's sheepish, "See you later, decorator" from Top Design). Still, an oft-repeated turn of phrase is the one accessory no Bravo star can be without, and so it goes for stylist Rachel Zoe, whose docu-series The Rachel Zoe Project premiered on the channel last night. Whether faced with a beautiful pair of shoes or the terrifying orange head of t

The Rachel Zoe Project: Zoe-isms [Fashion Zoe]
newVideoPlayer("/rzp_jez.flv", 475, 376,""); The Rachel Zoe Project premiered last night. Two things were shocking: 1. Her assistant, Taylor, is a terrifying, intimidating bitch. 2. Rachel seems to be a really nice person with relatable anxiety issues. Also, she's so fucking catch phrase-y. Her faves seem to be the violent "kills it," "I die," and "shut it down," which she at times softens with "loves it," with a slice of "bananas" in between. Above is a clip of all of her Zoe-isms.

Jay-Z Toasts A-Rod & Beyoncé Boogies in N.Y.C.
Newlyweds Jay-Z and Beyoncé partied with New York Yankee and new dad Alex Rodriguez in New York Tuesday night, where they playfully continued to dodge questions about their April 4 wedding. After Jay-Z's Madison Square Garden concert, the couple – dressed to match in black and white – separately walked the red carpet leading into the rap mogul's 40/40 club. Jay-Z jokingly cat-called to his wife as she strutted her stuff in front of cameras and ignored wedding queries, instead telling PEOPLE his

Best Comment of the Day, in response to 10 Plagues Visited Upon The House Of Rachel Zoe: "Sunnies! Ha! Someone clearly went on a trip to Australia recently. So funny that she is no more sophisticated than the sophomore who went on study abroad to London for a semester and came back professing her love for pints of lager in a pub and tea in her flat." We say: what, you think the dumpy boho sacks from hell all the Zoe-bots wear aren't the height of sophistication?? • Worst, in response to 10 Plagues Visited

Rachel Zoe Goes Back To The Time She Was A Twenty-something Blushing Bride [Fashion Zoe]
newVideoPlayer("/zoe91708_jez_512K.flv", 475, 376,""); While I'm not fond of people being cruel about others' looks, it has been widely-suggested that Rachel Zoe rose to fame looking a bit…weathered. I only mention it because on last night's Rachel Zoe Project, she discussed her wedding to her husband, investment banker Roger Berman, 12 years ago, which — if Wikipedia can be trusted about the year of her birth — would have made her about 25 years old, which was hard for me to imagine. In the clip abo

The Rachel Zoe Project Makes Styling Seem Like The Most Important Thing In The World [Critical Mass]
As we may have mentioned before, Rachel Zoe's reality television show, The Rachel Zoe Project, is premiering tonight on Bravo. The show is a 6-episode "project" that follows around Zoe (Pronounced "Zoh" not "Zoeee") as she deals with celebrity-related fashion crisis after celebrity-related fashion crisis. We have already seen the 20-minute preview, so we kinda already know what to expect (Dresses get ruined! Gays get bitched at!) from this "bananas" reality series. Unfortunately, there were not a whole lot

10 Plagues Visited Upon The House Of Rachel Zoe [Let My LiLo Go]
In a delightfully bitchy review of The Rachel Zoe project, New York Times critic Ginia Bellafante calls the diminutive, over-tanned stylist a "pox on humanity" "It is amazing that The Rachel Zoe Project, which focuses on her career, manages to send its audience deeper into the territory of smug NPR obsessives who won’t stop ranting about triviality’s conquest of the American soul," Belafante rages. "First I hated the show for passing Ms. Zoe off as an innovator when all she does is recycle a look that
