Four months ago, Jimmy Kimmel set out to make “the biggest, most star-studded film in the history of cinema.” And tonight, in honor of the 84th Annual Academy Awards, the late night host made his directorial debut.

Angelina Jolie walked the Golden Globes red carpet tonight in what may be the most interesting dress she’s worn in the last eight years. Satin-y white and featuring a dramatic red, one-shouldered slash, the dress was a much needed departure from her tendency to wear loose, drapey dresses in neutral colors. While we’re not sure about her decision to match her lips to her purse to the shoulder of her dress, we did love the deliciously cold interview she gave Ryan Seacrest.

We’re also live-tweeting it here. Join in!

Last night, Anderson Cooper dedicated his Ridiculist segment to the Olsen twins’ $34,000 alligator backpack for their luxury brand The Row. And while it doesn’t take a particularly attuned moral barometer to realize that the making and buying of a $34,000 alligator backpack is absurd, there were a few other problems with Cooper’s diatribe that we can’t help but take issue with.

This morning at precisely 7:04 am, we here in the Styleite offices got an email letting us know that Gulnara Karimova would be presenting a collection during New York Fashion Week. We didn’t really think much about this because we’d never heard of her or her line, Guli, before. We hadn’t even planned on going until it was brought to our attention that she is the daughter of the dictatorial leader of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov.

If you thought a three year old in a Madonna-style cone bra was bad, just wait until you see the Dolly Parton costume — complete with butt and breast “enhancements” — one mother made her daughter wear on last night’s episode of Toddlers & Tiaras.

Sarah Palin‘s reality show might not be returning for a second season, but the place where she gets her hair done is heading for its own 15 minutes of fame. The Alaska hair salon credited with giving Palin her signature ‘do is getting its own show. Which, why?

Anders Behring Breivik, the man responsible for the horrific Norway massacre, is currently holed up in solitary confinement. But he’s not donning an orange jumpsuit (or the Norwegian equivalent); he refuses to wear anything but a red Lacoste sweater.

If you thought no one could top Liza Minnelli’s loonytoons appearance on the Home Shopping Network last summer, Mariah Carey’s two hour segment last night is about to blow your mind.

Did you think Snooki was going to stop vying for your hard-earned money any time soon? If you did, you were wrong. Come this holiday season, the reality TV star will do everything she can to tempt you into buying her latest fashion project, a line of flip flips bedazzled with her signature pickle print.

Huma Weiner didn’t stand next to her husband, New York Congressional Representative Anthony Weiner, as he admitted to tweeting and emailing risque pictures of himself to women he met online this afternoon. But time and time again, the wives of public servants have stood right next to their husbands as they confessed to, described and lied about having done things that would tear most marriages apart. We don’t doubt Huma will come out of the shadows at some point before Weinergate is over, and when she does, her bearing — and her wardrobe — will say a lot about her and her mindset. Below, a few pictures of how a few notable women stood by — and what they wore to do it — as their marriages became tawdry news stories.

Features on suicide bombings run alongside beauty columns in Al-Shamikha, Al Qaeda‘s recently launched women’s publication. Yes, a glossy Jihadist lady mag is a thing that exists.

Lady Gaga arrived at tonight’s 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in an egg. Which makes sense, obviously, because it’s the fourth day of New York Fashion Week and only two days after Gaga’s newest (and quite possibly most anticipated) single, “Born This Way”, took the internet by storm. How else was she supposed to arrive? Armadillo heels are so last year.

Apparently designer Kenneth Cole knows there’s nothing like a violent political revolution to boost sales! Which is the only way to explain why he chose to link the crisis in Egypt to his brand’s new spring collection.

Last night a lady went to a grocery store in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where she was privy to one of the more offensive things we’ve heard about in a long time. The people over at Harps Supermarket decided to put a “family shield” (you know, “to protect young Harps shoppers”) over the cover of Us Weekly. But Harps is not trying to protect kids from Snooki or Kim or any other standard tabloid trash. No, they’re trying to “protect” children from a photo of Elton John, his partner David Furnish and their adorable baby Zachary.

While most people’s eyes were on Michelle Obama and her show-stopping Alexander McQueen gown, a few pairs strayed over to a different beat: the color of the President’s hair.

Well, color us surprised! Amongst all the other hard-hitting fashion news of the morning comes this delightful tidbit: Amy Poehler used to model.

Every guy needs pants, but when you’re the undisputed leader of the free world, you can get pants made specifically to accomodate, uh, what needs accommodating. And that’s just what Lyndon B. Johnson did one late summer day in 1964 — and we have to wonder whether or not he knew he was being recorded, because he belches and talks freely about his bunghole. No joke.

Liveblogging award show red carpets are a thing we like to do, and we want you to watch all the Golden Globes red carpet goodness with us tonight! Ricky Gervais will be hosting the evening’s festivities, but let’s be real: we’re most interested in what everyone will be wearing.

Another week, another episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, and another horrifying act of child cruelty. While there were no cone bras this time, there was an absolutely terrified five-year-old whose mother forced her to get her eyebrows waxed.

Well, how’s this for a Thursday afternoon treat? Playboy, via their trivia-laden Twitter account, has just released some vintage-ish images of Mad Men star and all-around lady icon Christina Hendricks from their July 1999 issue.

We understand that there’s a pretty thin line between most lad magazines and, well, Penthouse — but that doesn’t mean publications like Stuff and FHM should be called pornography. Or does it?

Meet Kayla Martell. Come Saturday, she may just be our country’s first bald Miss America.

She’s multiplying! Just when you thought the world had more Snooki than it could handle, the Jersey Shore’s tiniest guidette is now adding makeovers to her list of (non)talents. If you feel like starting your day with a heavy dose of bronzer, pink lipstick, hairspray, and leopard print all applied to a confused-looking 11-year-old girl, well, then this is the video for you.

For Diana Taylor, de facto first lady of New York, style is important. It’s just not everything. Because after getting up at 6 am to run various financial institutions and charity organizations (from Citigroup to Sotheby’s to Wolfensohn & Company), she’s hard at work being Mayor Michael Bloomberg‘s girlfriend, a job that involves up to three society events a night. Harper’s Bazaar find out that Taylor’s wardrobe of tailored classics — and her fascinating ability to just do anything — helps her make it through.
