We would like to welcome a addition to the Splendora Network, wedding photographer Kirsten Hepburn.

Based here in San Francisco, Kirsten's photojournalistic style is both elegant and candid. One pleased bride gushed, "I don? know how she managed to be so charming, personable and invisible all at once."

Fabulous!

Get a load of this mess; it has been reported that the tabletop dancing doyenne, Paris Hilton, seemingly...oh, how shall we put it...face-planted at a fashion show after-party. Miss Thang was looking frisky in her costume de rigeur; thong-baring jeans and a perky pink halter top. Allegedly, it was the stilettos that made little Miss Heiress take a spill (we think it was all that rum and coke ...) Luckily, she just missed knocking her noggin on a platform. After recovering her balance, P.H. threw a sweet and assured smile to the sultry dude who helped her up." Kinda reminds us of the time last year when her gal-pal Tara Reid took a slight stumble...just blame it on those pesky Manolo's.

Alrighty Chels, after you were kept under wraps for like 8+ years you finally have the opportunity to flaunt your biz. So, what do you keep wearing? Power suits. We're not talking about one of those clean-cut, cleavage baring, Angelina Jolie wearing, slim n' sexy D&G pups. We're talking straight off the Lohmann's rack suits. Hey, not that we don't just love the big L, but c'mon! If we were Chelsea Clinton we'd be milking that Versace show visit a little more and would have at least picked up some free duds from the D-meister. I'm sure the tan-tasic one was simply dying to squeeze Chelsea into one of her be-dazzled creations. Although she's stepped it up a notch with the cute pumps and purse, we're still waiting for her to seriously to bust out the goods!

She's 44 and she still rocks it-

Praise be the almighty Madonna
