Demi Moore, with some assistance from husband Ashton Kutcher, teamed with jeweler Jack Vartanian to design some Valentine’s Day baubles shaped like little handcuffs. (Um, seems to me a psychiatrist could have a field day with that one!) Prices range from $710 to $2,140 for pieces in variations of white, yellow and rose gold and black and white diamonds, which will be for sale through Feb. 14 on JackVartanian.com. Fifty percent of sales will be donated to the Demi and Ashton (DNA) Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness about child sex slavery -- including prostitution here in the U.S. [InStyle]
Here at All the Rage, we are normally all about clothes, but sometimes when a fashionable someone removes hers, we think it’s worth a mention too. Remember Kim Kardashian appearing in the altogether on the cover of W magazine last fall, standing proud with only some strategically placed strips of type leaving anything to the imagination? On her new show, ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York,’ Sunday night, she expressed shock and outrage that so much of her was on display. What did she think was going to happen? Honestly, girls, you take your clothes off for a camera and you really never know what the outcome is going to be. [Popeater]
Julianne Moore is fully clothed -- and should have nothing to regret -- in her pretty new ads for Talbots. Talbots’ chief creative officer, Michael Smaldone, says the clothier is thrilled to have Moore for the spring campaign because she ‘exemplifies everything we want as the face of the brand. She’s a very active, beautiful, soulful woman.’ [People]
