Joe Zee is Covering the Emmy’s for Extra

Joe Zee’s star just keeps rising. After a successful run on The City, Elle‘s creative director inked a deal to host his own show on the Sundance Channel.

Now, he’s taking a stab at red carpet reporting. Zee will serve as Extra’s “special fashion correspondent”–his segment will air Monday after the Emmy’s.

And while we’re psyched for Joe–we might even DVR Extra!–there was some much more interesting news buried at the bottom of the tip sheet.

Stylista–that god awful show starring Ann Slowey–is back this October on the CW. Joe will “make his debut” as a judge, which to us means that the formatting of the show will be slightly different. Or that Extra’s PR team has made a huge error. It’s a bit hard to believe that the CW would give Stylista another try. Then again, Joe is bigger than ever before, so maybe Tyra and co. think it’s worth the risk. We just heard word that it is indeed an error.

Reality TV Hits Retail

Bravo can’t get their fashion fill. They’re hard at work on a retail docu-series amid the famed halls of Santa Monica’s Fred Segal. The show, the network’s third fashion series, will focus on the competitive nature of retail in such a high end setting and believe us, in a store like that, with its customers Read more →

Johanna Works After the Reel World

News flash: Looks like a reality stint on the CW can actually land you a real job at ELLE. Plenty of people thought that Stylista couldn’t possibly result in an actual job at one of the world’s top magazines, even after others swore it really would. But now, Johanna, the show’s only-season winner, is blogging Read more →

ELLE Hearts the Telly

Good news if you’re a fan of Nina Garcia on Project Runway, and Stylista on the CW. Bad news if you think ELLE should lay off cable-related publicity: ELLE has just hired on Creative Artists Agency as a consultant. Why? Because they need someone to look for “TV shows and film properties that can elevate Read more →

Is The New: Stylista and Fashionista?

While reading Vogue UK this morning, I tripped over the casual use of “stylista.” The editors refer to Emma Watson as one in their boring non-story about how she doesn’t use a stylist. I meditated on the possible meanings while walking to work, and it went something like this: 1. Would I call someone a Read more →

The First Stylista Spoiler

This just in: A clue as to who wins Stylist (and no, we really can’t drum up the words for the guy who hyperventilated like he was a hostage last night). But since we know what crabby pants people can be over spoilers, it’s hidden after the jump! From an ELLE staffer:

The Thing About Stylista..

Like you, we watched the premiere of Stylista last night. And probably like you, we were left… unsettled. Can we be frank? Good. Because this is getting kind of weird. It was all fun and games when Nina Garcia decided to be a judge on a show that used to be genuinely good, and all Read more →

Fashion Week

ELLE + Kardashian = Fashion Show

Lately, there are a lot of invites to events flying around that make us go, “huh?” And sometimes, they actually make us go “ew”: ELLE‘s sponsoring a Fashion Week show at the Metropolitan Pavilion on the 9th. The show’s being “curated” by LA boutique Dash, the children’s boutique Smooch, and the whole thing’s being hosted Read more →

Fashionistas: The Movie

Ever since Lauren Weisberger wrote The Devil Wears Prada, there’s been an influx of fashion-related books/movies/tv shows liquifying our taste buds. So forgive us for having totally missed that a book called Fashionistas came out three years ago, about a “young designer working at a design firm who plots to take down her ruthless boss Read more →

Stylista vs. The Stylist!

You know the summer’s near its end when the Fall rumors are about the prime time lineup, too – We hear MTV’s sending out pitches to major fashion companies about their newest show, The Stylist. Apparently, it follows eight wannabe stylists in a “challenge type show” – and the winner gets a contract with Margaret Read more →
