This is ridiculous.
Fashion insiders have dished on how much certain labels will pay to have a celebrity butt in their front row seats and the price tags are HUGE. Of course it all depends what list you're on.
Here's how much each celeb pockets for an appearance:
A-List
Rihanna ($100,000 or more)
Beyonce ($80,000-$100,000)
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ($80,000 each)
Julianne Moore ($60,000)
Maggie Gyllanhal ($60,000)
Chloe Sevigny ($60,000 or more)
Jennifer Lopez (circa 2005: $80,000; circa 2010: $30,000)
Lindsay Lohan (circa 2006: $60,000; circa 2010; UNINVITED)
Colin Firth (pre-A Single Man: $5,000; post-A Single Man: $15,000)B-List
Blake Lively ($50,000)
Leighton Meester($40,000)
Hilary Duff ($40,000)
Other Gossip Girl cast members ($25,000 a piece)
Jared Leto ($25,000)
Cliven Owen ($10,000)
Kristen Bell (unpaid, but airfare, makeup and clothing are taken care of)C-List
Kim Kardashian ($35,000-$50,000)
Amanda Bynes ($25,000-$30,000)
Eliza Dushku (unpaid, but airfare, makeup and clothing are taken care of)D-List
Paris Hilton (free or UNINVITED)
Jersey Shore cast (UNINVITED)
America’s Next Top Model Winners (free)
We're guessing this list was made before word got out that the juice heads would be invading Bryant Park, but the others are pretty funny especially since Lindsanity was considered A-List.

If you're trying to get the body of Leighton Meester or Blake Lively, you may not have to go to such extremes. In fact, all you have to do is go to your nearest department store and buy a pair of Spanx!
The TV show's costume designer Eric Damon spilled the beans on the starlet's beauty secrets saying:
"They don't [diet]. They just get some good underwear and they're fine. I say, just enjoy yourself. If you put on a couple of pounds, then great, buy some Spanx."
And there you have it.
Wonder if they make Ed Westwick wear one too?

We don't find this particularly surprising.
Skincare company St. Ives conducted a survey of 2,000 men to see how they felt about their partners' makeup routine, and the result is pretty much what we would have expected. According to the study, 1 in 5 men thinks his partner wears too much makeup, while one in ten prefers women who wear no makeup at all.
Given the way some women cake on the foundation and bronzer these days (ahem-Snooki) we hardly find this groundbreaking news.
The study also found that men were generally turned off by fake eyelashes, bright lipstick, winged eyeliner, dark lipliner, and penciled in brows.
We'll admit, false eyelashes is slightly surprising, but we have a feeling that the average straight dude doesn't know they're falsies when they're done right.
A spokesman for St. Ives said,
"For many guys, makeup can act as a barrier between them and their partner, and it seems they simply prefer women to go natural…. This seems to be a bigger issue between the genders as may women also admitted they weren't happy with their skin condition. So it would appear that women are wearing makeup to hide bad skin, not simply to impress the opposite sex. If women felt more confident that their skin was in good condition, they wouldn't need to wear so much makeup to cover up."
Okay, we get what they're saying in terms of concealer, foundation, and bronzer. With those products, subtlety is always key. But here's the thing - we think that the assumption that women only wear makeup to attract men is kind of insulting to women.
Don't get us wrong, we're not saying that notion has nothing to do with it. But if a girl wears bold eyeshadow or bright lips (like, say, Leighton Meester), there's a good chance it's not some attempt to lure in the fellas, but rather gain the admiration of other people with an appreciation for fashion forward beauty. Or for themselves!
For instance, when Agyness Deyn rocked those funky lashes, we're pretty sure it's because she's confident in her style and likes to push the limits, not because she wanted men to fall at her feet.
But what do we know.
What do you think? Are you shocked to learn that men like girls to look naturally pretty? And will this keep you from rocking funky face paint?

Good news for Alexa Chung!

Has Leighton Meester been hanging out with her co-star Taylor Momsen??? If so, STOP IT!
The usually fab looking Gossip Girl star showed up to the opening of the new American Eagle flagship in Times Square looking like she fell right out of Trash & Vaudeville.
From head to toe, it's just one giant FASHION FAIL!
