MADONNA: CAUGHT WITHOUT HER EYEPATCH!

Some sort of injury kept Madonna from performing the first night of her string of shows at the London Palladium, but she made up for it last night. Phones and smart watches were taken from all audience members when they arrived and sealed in pouches that they kept with them. On the way out they passed the pouch over a device and it opened. The crowd loved her and she looked happy on the way out. Above, she’s leaving the Palladium (with her young boyfriend right behind her) wearing a flashy Versace wrap coat with her Madame X logo on the back – her pricey version of a tour jacket, along with custom Nikes. An NO eyepatch for a change!

MASON DISICK: SOME KIDS HAVE ALL THE LUCK…OR DO THEY?

Kris Jenner loves to indulge her grandchildren, and what better way to do it than with Versace! Kris brought Kourtney’s nine year old son Mason Disick to the Versace store in Beverly Hills and bought him a gold and black $3000-plus puffer jacket. Certainly he will be the only kid in his class to have one of those! He already has a lot of jewelry for a kid his age…

DETAILS MATTER IN VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Ricky Martin must be excited about his role in Versace: American Crime Story – it will probably open doors for him in Hollywood. Puerto Rican born Ricky did a little acting in Mexico before he returned to music and became an international pop star. He’s playing Antonio D’Amico, Gianni Versace’s good looking boyfriend of fifteen years. He and Edgar Ramirez as Gianni, filmed a beachside scene today in Miami. Versace was killed in 1997 and his sister Donatella has never gotten along with Antonio. We love that “Antonio” is carrying i-D magazine from 1994 with Kylie Minogue on the cover – the coolest fashion periodical of the 90’s. Nice touch.

VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY IS AN ELABORATE RE-ENACTMENT

Ryan Murphy is a stickler for authenticity so it’s no surprise that he rented Gianni Versace’s Miami mansion, where he was killed in 1997, as a filming location for Versace: American Crime Story. The elaborate house is now a boutique hotel, Villa Casa Casuarina, with ten rooms retaining many Versace features. All the rooms are ultra-fancy (gaudy and very Trumpish with lots of gold) and go for over a thousand dollars a night. So you can imagine what it cost for ACS to rent the whole place for the month of May. Ricky Martin is playing Versace’s boyfriend Antonio and we look forward to seeing him in a Speedo around the pool.

IS LADY GAGA MORPHING INTO DONATELLA VERSACE – OF ALL PEOPLE?

Sure looks that way. Lady Gaga has been buttering up Donatella Versace for awhile – besides raving about the fashion collection, she wrote a song called Donatella and it’s the title tract on her new album Artpop. Duly flattered, Donatella reciprocated by naming Gaga as the new face of Versace. Gaga’s first ad looks suspiciously like the Queen of Versace herself, except a younger version…

CINDY CRAWFORD BANNED DAUGHTER KAIA FROM THE RUNWAY

Cindy Crawford’s ten year old daughter Kaia made quite a splash in the fashion world last month when she appeared in an ad wearing a black miniskirt and leather jacket for Versace’s children’s wear line. Her mom Cindy, 45, seemed proud and supportive. But according to The Gloss, Cindy thought it over (and we’re betting she heard a lot of negative comments) and she changed her mind. She put Kaia’s career on hold until she turns seventeen. At that time, says Cindy “She can make up her own mind about modeling.”

JANUARY JONES TAKES IT ALL OFF FOR VERSACE



Photos via: Daily Mail
January Jones proved she’s capable of a lot more steam that her prim Mad Men character Betty Draper. The 32 year old actress was introduced to Donatella Versace at an event and Donatella was so impressed with her “feminine, classic beauty” that she personally picked her to be the new face of Versace. January kept her retro blonde flip for the nude photos promoting handbags and shoes.
