As you all well know, we here at Splendora HQ are obsessed by all things "Hollywood;" the glitz, the glamour, the falling off the wagon. Our latest obsession? Hollywould; the utterly chic shoe line sure to satisfy the accessory addicted. We got the lowdown from the line's founder, Holly Dunlap, while she was jetting high above the Atlantic on her way to Italy where her line is produced. Here's the scoop: For the past three years, Miss Holly and her team have consistently dreamt up flirty, feminine, and utterly haughty designs that have won over celebrities (Cam Diaz, Katie Hudson) and socialites (The Traina's, The Hilton's) alike. Holly's clever cobbling was honed throug posts at Lacroix, Westwood, and Pulitzer, not to mention countless evenings on the town observing "IT" girl fashion. As a result her line is colorful, sleek, and most importantly, comfortable. The shoes even have a built in mini-proctective sole to minimize wear and tear, this idea alone makes Holly one of the smartest (and kindest) cookies we know. And check this; Holly, along with previous Splendora contributor, Zac Posen, has been nominated for this year's CFDA Swarovski Perry Ellis Award (the fashion equivalent of an Oscar). Between all her her travelling, designing, dancing, and general carousing, we don't know how she does it...but we're sure glad she does!

Holly's Diary Here

Following the Durst-Spears debacle, we are pleased to report another example of "He Said/She Said" ranting between T.M.S a.k.a. Trashy Music Stars (Exhibit A: photo of Miami Mariah, lipo-sucted or just aerobicized? You be the judge). Rumors have been flying about voice mail that the buxom Butterfly left for one-time lover Eminem. Little M claims that Mariah left multiple messages in a baby voice that he is planning on using in an upcoming ditty. BM retorted in the NY Daily News that "I have little voices. I do little things like that that are fun and games.. If somebody has nothing better to do than sit around listening to old phone messages, I'm a little concerned about that." And in response to him using those words in a song she said "Let him do whatever the hell he wants. If that makes him happy, yea for him." Whatever the outcome, you can be sure if Em could jumpstart Dido's career surely he and Dr Dre can resuscitate Mariah's.

Who needs a million dancers at Superbowl halftime when you can have the singular sensation prancing around in a sci-fi minidress a la Judy Jetson? Lucky for G.G. Tea & Soda, a Japanese beverage company, they were able to snatch up a sabbatical Spears to tout their tea. Perhaps this might explain the waning Yugio interest among Japanese boys. Word to Britney: Enough of the "I'm not a girl but not yet a woman and therefore I need a leave of absence" already! Celine's completed her wife-mommy break and she's taking Vegas with a vengance. It's time you give XL-Tina a little run for her tummy, I mean, money.
