Jessica Simpson used to buy extravagant gifts for her friends at places like Barneys, but things have changed. Her clothing and accessory collections aren’t selling quite as well as they have in the past, and her family is expanding, so she‘s cutting corners. Her friends have noted than nowadays Jessica pulls shoes or something from her own fashion lines that she doesn’t have to pay for, and gives them as gifts.
It’s the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival and celebrities in exquisite gowns had to dodge a few raindrops. But rain wasn’t Julianne Moore’s biggest problem- her tootsies were squealing for mercy in those ill fitting strappy high heels. We had to laugh at the close-up of her feet in this photo.

Here’s Kim Kardashian filming her reality show in Miami along with her sister Khloe while trying to convince fans that she likes animals. She grew increasingly uncomfortable as she carried a tiny white Persian kitten that struggled and squirmed to get away. She held it by the neck to keep it from escaping and finally gave up and switched with Khloe- Kim carried the iced teas and Khloe carried the kitten. By the way, Kanye West supposedly designed Kim’s peculiar white shoes…

Seven year old Honey Boo Boo, AKA Alana Thompson, started school this week in Georgia like many children, but she couldn’t resist spicing up her drab school outfit with silver heels. Judging by how tight her clothes look, her pageant days might be behind her. But she’ll have a lot to share on “show and tell” day…

NOBODY works harder to promote her brand than Lady Gaga. She clomped around the cobblestone streets of Cologne, in the outlandish outfit in order to drum up excitement for her upcoming concert. (Does she EVER stop touring?) Of course, she’s just ASKING for animal activists to freak out over what looks like a dead animal draped around her neck. Those shoes are so precipitous that she has to be helped by a minder at all times. Gaga promises her next album ARTPOP will be an earth-shattering “multimedia experience” – it will include apps that allow fans to watch films, listen to extra tracks, and even chat with her!
Ouch! Oprah Winfrey’s feet are rebelling on the set of The Butler, now filming in New Orleans, Louisiana. She wears huge bouffant wigs and appropriate vintage clothing and shoes for her role as the wife of the White House butler played by Forest Whitaker. The movie spans several decades and Oprah has a massive wardrobe with appropriately painful shoes. Even her striped flats were hurting her as she arrived on the set today, so she took them off until the cameras rolled.

Willow Smith is 11 going on 28 and she’s already into six inch platforms. (Not to mention green hair!) She was photographed this week shopping in New York when other kids her age were in school. We’re guessing that by the end of the day she’ll have learned that wearing shoes like that for strolling around the city is NOT a great idea!

There’s something about men who wear lifts in their shoes that tickles our fancy. Simon Cowell wanted to make sure that nobody could see what kind of heels he was wearing for his show Britain’s Got Talent auditions, so he let down the hem of his jeans. The raggedy hem dragged on the ground but did successfully cover the built up heels on his shoes. But not EVERYBODY was fooled!
We have to give credit to the women who invented these convertible heel shoes, but will they catch on? The idea is totally sensible – you can change the heel height of your shoes (from 1 and 1/2 inches to 3 and 1/2 inches) according to the occasion. Working women won’t have to tote extra pairs of shoes around or keep them in the office. It’s very practical – the sole is flexible so it‘s comfortable with every heel height. The company is brand new and so far only one style is available ($149) and it‘s functional, but lacks the glamour of designer shoes. Do you think these might catch on? We’re betting they hope someone like Louboutin will buy their idea.
