Jay-Z Fee to Par-tay Crashes in U.K.

The economic crash has made life tough all over. Stocks are sinking, jobs are scarce and folks' retirement accounts are dwindling.
Now, the downturn is even affecting the vital partying sector of the economy. According to TheLondonPaper's blog, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z couldn't scare up his usual $50,000 pay-to-par-tay fee this weekend in England, where he's promoting the NBA New Jersey Nets (of which he's a part owner).
Even after the rapper dropped his price to $13,000, there were reportedly no takers, with a club source telling the rag, "At this rate he might even have to party for free.”
The horror...the horror.

Even though Christina Applegate didn't win anything at the SAG Awards Sunday night, she gets props for rocking the red carpet. I got all the details on her textured, tousled hairstyle, created by a Frédéric Fekkai stylist, so you can re-create her look for a night out of your own.
Feting with Fur

It used to be that models would rather go naked than wear fur. But this season, everything from chinchilla to fox is making a comeback as the ultimate star accessory at party after party. Sharon Stone used fur to keep warm on Rome's red carpet, Star Jones Reynolds combated New York chill with a stole, and E!'s own Snoop Dogg made a stylish entrance to a German bash with a full-length mink coat.
"We’re wired to love fur," explains Fabulous Furs president Donna Salyers. Eighteen years ago, Donna was on her way to buy herself a mink coat like Snoop's. On the radio, however, she heard Paul Harvey describe a toy manufacturer that skinned kittens and passed off their fur as mink teddy bears. "With four cats at home, it occurred to me I might unknowingly be about to buy a 'kitty coat,' " Donna recalls.
So, instead of heading to the store, she used her fabric connections to create her own faux-fur company, which has since grown immensely popular with stars including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Patti LaBelle and Ice-T and his wife, Coco, to name a few.
Now, some celebs like Sharon rock the real thing. But with so many faux options, why not save an animal when you cover up on your way to your next holiday soiree?
