Fashion Faceoff: Jessica Simpson vs. Katie Holmes

Drop what you're doing, fans of fashion! It's time for yet another round of the game that we non-celebs love and that actual celebs probably hate. Today, we put actresses-turned-designers Jessica Simpson and Katie Holmes head-to-head wearing the same embellished Isabel Marant jacket. The only question is ... who wore it better?
Jessica chose to pair her jacket with Daisy Dukes, a white T-shirt, and platform heels while out last month in New York City. The 30-year-old singer/actress accessorized with a large turquoise ring, an oversize patterned handbag, and, of course, her football player fiance Eric Johnson.

In the Big Apple two days later, Mrs. Tom Cruise wore her jacket with dark denim flares, nude shoes, and a pair of dark shades. The 32-year-old "Kennedys" star also sported a ponytail, minimal jewelry, and toted a basic black bag.

Unfortunately, there's really no way Jessica could win this one, thanks to her tacky shorts. While Jess has made plenty of fashion missteps, Katie Holmes is almost always chic -- both on and off the red carpet -- and here is no exception. The former "Dawson's Creek" diva -- who is half of the upscale label Holmes & Yang -- looks polished and pulled together just by keeping everything other than her busy jacket simple. Who knew that Joey Potter would grow up to be such a stylish celeb?

Who wore the Isabel Marant jacket best?

Kate joined The Royal recycling: the Duchess's favorite coat provide an extra outing

She has injected new life into the monarchy with her much-admired sense of style.
But it seems the Duchess of Cambridge is also following a considerably older royal tradition – recycling favourite garments.
At a church service yesterday to mark the 90th birthday of the Duke of Edinburgh, Kate wore the same periwinkle blue Jacquard coat dress that she donned in 2009 for the wedding of her husband’s close friend, Nicholas van Cutsem.

She paired it with the £175 nude LK Bennett heels that she has sported several times recently – which are identical to pairs owned by her sister Pippa and mother Carole.
And a day earlier, the 29-year-old attended the wedding of close friend Sam Waley-Cohen in the same black and white silk cocktail dress that she wore on a night out in London with Pippa in 2007, during her brief split from William.

By dusting down her old outfits for high-profile occasions, the Duchess echoes the policy of the Queen and the Princess Royal, who both take great delight in getting the most out of their wardrobes.

The man of the hour, Prince Philip, arrived last with the Queen, who was dressed in aquamarine and sky blue.

Dirk Nowitzki: Antics were 'childish'


MIAMI -- Dirk Nowitzki didn't find anything funny about the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and LeBron James coughing and cracking jokes about being sick in front of cameras, calling it "childish."

Wade and James didn't mention Nowitzki's name, but it appeared they were mocking the Dallas Mavericks superstar while walking out of the American Airlines Center following Thursday's shootaround, before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. That's certainly how Nowitzki, who battled a sinus infection that caused a 101-degree fever during Dallas' Game 4 win, perceived the incident when he watched the video.
"I just thought it was a little childish, a little ignorant," Nowitzki said before Saturday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena. "I've been in this league for 13 years. I've never faked an injury or illness."
Wade, who referred to Nowitzki's sinus infection Thursday as "the fun-loving story of him being sick," claimed Saturday that he didn't pretend to cough.
"I actually did cough," Wade said. "And with the cameras being right there, we made a joke out of it because we knew you guys were going to blow it up. You did exactly what we knew.
"We never said Dirk's name. I think he's not the only one in the world who can get sick or have a cough. We just had fun with the cameras being right in our face about the blowup of the incident, and it held to be true. You blew it up."

James did not clarify whether his cough was fake or not. He declined to discuss the incident.
"I'm not feeding into that," said James, who has been heavily criticized for performing well below his standards during this series. "If you guys want to feed into everything that not only myself or D-Wade or the Miami Heat do, I think that's a non-issue. There's bigger issues in this series than that."
Nowitzki, who is averaging 27.0 points and has consistently dominated in crunch-time during the series, agrees with that point. With the Mavericks up 3-2 in the Finals, Nowitzki's focus is solely on closing out the series to claim his first championship.
While the coughing and joking by Wade and James annoyed Nowitzki, he said it wouldn't influence his demeanor during Game 6.
"It's over to me," Nowitzki said. "It's not going to add anything extra to me. This is the NBA Finals. If you need extra motivation, you have a problem.
"So we're one win away from my dream, what I've worked for half of my life. This is all I'm really worried about. This is all I'm focusing on."

Ironi Suporter Amikom di Kontes Robot Nasional

Suporter Amikom di Kontes Robot Nasional ,sabtu 11 juni 2011
Sageru News(11/6)-Awalnya kami bangga dengan prestasi Tim Robotic Amikom Yogyakarta, kami belabelain mengorbankan waktu kuliah demi menjadi Suporter Tim Robotic Amikom pada Kontes Robotic Nasional di Graha Shaba Universitas Gajah Mada.
Kami diminta hadir jam 08.00 wib di Graha, sampai disana kita tidak menemukan seorangpun koordinator supporter dari kampus tercinta Amikom.
Satu jam kemudian setelah di telpon akhirnya kita ketemu dengan koordinator tim suporter Amikom ,yakni Rheza Aqmal, namun koordinator juga datang dengan tangan hampa,tanpa tiket dan tak ada hasil, semua hanya menambah ketidak pastian , sang koordinator seperti orang kebingungan menghubungi dosen-dosen yang ikut mengurusi Kontes Robot Nasional Ini .
Beberapa jam setelah lama menunggu akhirnya Pak Ferry yang jadi pembimbing Tim Robotic Amikom datang , namun apa??? Sama saja!!! , apa yang bias Pak ferry lakukan Orang dia Cuma pembimbing toh.
Kita semua Tim supporter Robotic Amikom kumpul bersama lagi , menunggu ketidak pastian, bosan….bosan menunggu ,akhirnya yang ditunggu-tunggu sudah datang yakni Ibu Yatmi bagian keuangan STMIK AMIKOM yang katanya mengurusi Tiket masuk Para suporter Tim Robotic Amikom..
Akhirnya kita lega, melihat ibu yatmi turun dari sebuah mobil yang sangat mewah…(menurut saya sih), ..wah….wah…wah…… apa kita bias masuk??? Eh ternyata sama saja..
Bu Yatmi malah nyuruh pak Ferry hubungi teman-temannya yang di UGM supaya kita bias masuk (emang bisa andalin modal pertemanan ya!!!) , mentang-mentang pak Ferry Alumni UGM, jadi bisa dimanfaatkan maksudnya??? Ohhh emang siapa???? Panitia????
Lama sudah Kontes dimulai, kemudian Terdengar teriakan dari dalam yaitu yel-yel dari supporter-suporter Tim Robotic , teriakan sangat terdengar lantang dari supporter Tim Robotic dari kampus-kampus lain dari seluruh Indonesia yang ikutan Kontes Robotic Indonesia Ini..
Saat Suporter Tim Robotic Amikom dipersilahkan memberikan dukungan atau yel-yel apa yang terdengar, teriakan??? Atau apa???? Semua hening, tidak ada suara sama sekali , teriakan hanya terdengar diluar saja yakni suara kita Tim supporter Robotic Amikom,… akh sangat Mengerikan..
Dan setelah Amikom selesai pamer kebolehan dari Robotnya, akhirnya kepastian-pun datang kepastian yang sesungguhnya , kepastian yang valid , kita tidak diperbolehkan masuk , karna tiket tidak ada, eh malah kita disuruh Nonton diluar di satu TV, ukuran 20 inch yang disaksikan Ratusan bahkan Ribuan Orang di depan Pintu masuk, eh kalo tahu begini mending kita tadi nonton di TV ONE,TVRI, toh disiarin kok tadi..
Nasibbbb……nasib…. Duduk……duduk… kata satpam, kita seperti nonton layar tancap yang diatur oleh satpam…hahahahah, oww iya satu hal tadi yang menggelitik hati saya ,disamping para Tim Suporter yang duduk menonton seperti anak kecil, saya melihat anak Amikom yang mengenakan kostum berbentuk Kotak yang di balut di badannya,.. yang bertugas sebagai penjamu tamu.. tapi kok aneh ya ,kok dia mau berpenampilan seperti itu,,.. pokonya gak bangatlah, memalukan, tragis dan kasihan… di bayar berapa sih???
Jam 12 sudah, kita duduk duduk tanpa arah..
Pak idris yang akhirnya datang sebagai Undangan dari Kontes ini melihat kita semua pada terlantar ,akhirnya juga tidak ikut masuk karna melihat anak-anaknya disini tidak bisa masuk ke Arena Kontes..
Hmmm….. Lapar..

Makanan diturunkan, segudang makanan dan minuman …. Kita supporter Robotic atau Suporter supporter makanan dan minuman kah???????
Penat sudah , bosan sudah berbincang-bincang dengan pak idris , akhirnya para supporter mau Balik, toh gak ada gunanya disini, kita hanya bagaikan sampah atau lebih tepatnya kaum Minoritas .. tuan rumah yang tinggal di Yogyakarta yang tidak bisa nonton kontes, eh malah dari kota lain bisa dapat, hal kecil yang disepelekan yang dilakukan oleh SIAPA….
Terakhir kita diajak Pak Idris berfoto bersama di Bawah Spanduk Kontes Robotic Nasional
sebagai bukti kalo kita ada untuk support dan.....ya itulah
sebelum kita bubar dan balik pak idris memberikan dua buah undangan untuk yang mau masuk , undangan sebenarnya diperuntukkan untuk mereka para petinggi di STMIK AMIKOM, agar kita bisa masuk, tapi hanya dua orang saja dan syaratnya kita harus ganti-ganti masuk….ehhh sama aja pak gak ada guna ,klo gak Ramai itu gak enak, tapi itu merupakan sikap diplomatis yang saya sukai dari Pak Idris..saya bangga dengan pemimpin seperti itu , walaupun gak jadi masuk kedalam Arena Kontes.
Entah siapa yang ingin disalahkan???
Apa UGM yang berperan sebagai Penyelenggara atau Tuan Rumah dari Kontes Robotic Indonesia atau Koordinator Suporter dari AMIKOM…

Pak idris hanya bisa bilang…
Buruknya Management Disini…

Entah Management Siapa.. !!!!!!
Intinya hanya satu ini Tidak terulang lagi tahun depan… Thanks .
Salam Sageru
