Rashida Jones Is Committed — To Her Bangs

Many of Hollywood’s leading ladies change hairstyles and hues faster than we can say “blowout,” but not Rashida Jones. The Parks & Recreation star tells Stylelist that despite attempts to grow out her bangs and change her hairstyle, she always ends up sticking with the same tried-and-true look. “Every time I pretend that I’m going to grow my bangs, I just can’t,” she says. “I’ve had bangs since I was 5. That’s just kind of the way my face wants it to happen.” Jones jokes that there’s a method to her madness, claiming she uses those blunt bangs to conceal her forehead. “I have a fivehead under there, it’s kind of my thing,” she shares, laughing. Tell us: What do you think of Jones’s blunt bangs? –Kim Peiffer

It’s no surprise that Brit it girl Alexa Chung has some styling tricks up her ultra-cool sleeve. Whether she’s pulling off a bare midriff or a wacky print, the British trendsetter clearly has fashion conviction. And in preparation for a rumored round two of her mega-successful collection for Madewell, the apparel brand asked the model to put her unique spin on five iconic pieces for spring. The resulting looks incorporate Chung’s trademark panache with items from her own closet.

Rachel Zoe: Why I Won’t Style Snooki

Has impending motherhood softened the famously razor-sharp Rachel Zoe? Not quite! The stylist to the stars tells The Hollywood Reporter she’d never style Jersey Shore wild child Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. Give her a break, though: “I don’t have time!” she says. “She’s so out there right now, that’s like a full-time job. It’s nothing against Snooki.” So what does Zoe’s packed schedule, which includes filming The Rachel Zoe Project and lining up eight Oscar dresses for Anne Hathaway, net her a year? The magazine estimates that between her $10,000-per-job fee and estimated $50,000 from Bravo per episode, plus her QVC line and other endeavors, the star stands to clear $20 million. Not bad for a stylist who started out making $18,000 a year. “I worked 20-something hours a day, seven days a week,” Zoe says. “I … spent all my money flying to Paris to go to couture because that was the dream. I crashed shows. Designers were my heroes and my celebrities. It hasn’t really worn off.” –Alex Apatoff

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell Hit the Runway for Louis Vuitton

Checking in? Marc Jacobs turned his Louis Vuitton runway show into a dark and opulent hotel lobby — complete with gilded escalators and French maids — during Paris Fashion week on Wednesday. And he even got some V.I.P. guests to check in: strutting down the black lacquer catwalk were Naomi Campbell, Amber Valetta and Carolyn Murphy, plus Kate Moss, who closed the show in a black rubberized lace jacket and tiny shorts, cigarette in hand. Backstage, Jacobs explained the concept behind Hotel Vuitton. “We thought of every aspect of this hotel fantasy, people getting out of elevators with attendants, French maids dusting and serving the guests,” he told reporters. “I just thought it was a weird, nice but melancholy end to Paris Fashion Week.” As for the show’s decadent and slightly naughty theme — some models were handcuffed to their handbags — Jacobs said, “We all have our fetish, it’s something that comes from the heart that creates an obsession for something, it’s instinctive. Whether it’s a bag or a shoe, a piece of music or an automobile.” Guests — who included Emma Stone and Alex Pettyfer — seemed to dig that slightly kinky vibe, though. “It was very sexy,” model Natalia Vodianova told PEOPLE. “Although it was so much to take in this early in the morning!” –Monique Jessen

First, there was the oh-so-sexy minidress. Then came the white pants and low-cut top. But Thursday, Lindsay Lohan covered up for court, sporting a second skin taupe dress, black tights and patent heels. The 24-year-old arrived in Los Angeles for her latest hearing with mom Dina and sister Ali by her side, and learned that Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz is giving her two more weeks — until March 25 — to accept a plea deal in her necklace theft case. If Lohan doesn’t accept the plea terms, which were undisclosed, the case will move toward a preliminary hearing in which evidence and testimony will be heard to see if a trial is warranted. Though the actress is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store, sources close to the star say she believed she was loaned the necklace. However, the store owners recently stated, “Kamofie and Company never gave permission to Ms. Lohan to remove the necklace from the store.” Tell us: Do you think this look was court appropriate? –Reporting by Ken Lee

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Have Twitter Feud Over Fancy Pillows

Pillow fight! Newlyweds Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got into a cute little tiff on Twitter this week over a fairly soft topic: pillows. “Do you ever look at your credit card bill & ask your wife how the hell she could spend 3 thousand dollars on pillows?” Madden asked his followers. “I do. I mean can’t we just go to Target and get our pillows???” Richie, who was busy taking in the fall collections at Paris Fashion Week, playfully responded to her hubby, writing, “That’s why I ignore your calls.” But Madden wasn’t going down without a fight. “Needless to say the pillows are going back to the expensive ass pillow store. Hope she likes the Target pillows I’m putting in their place,” later adding, “I was thinking they must be made from unicorn manes.” Unfortunately for the Good Charlotte rocker, it looked like Twitter was on Team Richie in this domestic diss — Madden wrote that while the pillows were “already on their way back to the store,” he was “getting attacked by angry kids on Twitter.” Hey, you can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep! –Kate Hogan
