Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen dead at age 40

British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London apartment yesterday at age 40.  He paid particular attention to structure, shape, and color and was heralded as an impeccable tailor, but he was most known for his flair for the dramatic.



InStyle Magazine's fashion editor Hal Rubenstein recalled, "He was an unbelievable showman. This wasn't someone who would ever dream of sending a collection down a white runway with you sitting politely in your seats," he said. Rubenstein reminisced about one of McQueen's shows where he projected a 3-D hologram image of Kate Moss on the runway, giving the illusion that the supermodel was trapped in a prism.  He also remembered another where McQueen sent his models down the runway accompanied by live wolves.  McQueen's shows were anything but dull and conservative.

Designer Betsy Johnson said McQueen was "the most inspiring, creative, genius designer of now." Vogue editor Anna Wintour said, "Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing -- from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."

McQueen was to present his new collection McQ at New York's Fashion Week this week; his show has been cancelled.

Florida state trooper arrested for issuing fake tickets

Florida state trooper Paul C. Lawrence has been arrested on charges of issuing hundreds of fake tickets to unsuspecting drivers to boost his numbers to meet his quota.  He was caught slipping when dozens of people complained of losing their driver's licenses due to unpaid tickets they had no idea they had ever received; many of these drivers were able to prove beyond a doubt they were somewhere other than the location printed on the ticket at the time the tickets were issued.  Over 200 tickets have been dismissed so far; the fraud is thought to be so far-reaching, the Florida Highway Patrol has set up a hotline to try to ferret out more victims.  Lawrence is charged with 22 counts of official misconduct; he has been placed on administrative leave pending conclusion of the investigation.

Diddy's babymamas have beef

Diddy's first babymama Misa is fed up with one of his other babymamas Kim Porter refusing to accept and welcome his other babymama Sarah Chapman, and her daughter with Diddy, Chance:

“Sarah is really sweet but Sarah and Kim don’t get along. I get along with everyone. With both of them. Kim and I go back for years now. We were friends at one point. I was like “you wanted him, you got him now baby“. So she’s gotta go through all the bs I had to go through back in the day.
Sarah has been around as long as Kim, alot of people don’t know that. Puffy was cheating on me with both of them. This is over 15-16 years ago so we’ve all been around a long time. I joke around sometimes and say “They are like my sister-wives.” I try to keep everything good and we want Kim to accept Chance but she’s not ready yet………but I accepted Christian.

Kim fired back through Blackarazzi, saying “I don’t want to respond to anything Misa could ever say. She’s not even on my level.”
