Teen Idols: Where Will They Be in 10 Years?

Lets face it, teen idols grown up. One minute they’re singing “Lets Get Together” in “The Parent Trap” - and the next, they’re inmate #2409752. Well, maybe that’s just Lindsay Lohan. Either way, they don’t stay young forever. Just ask Kirk Cameron, Corey Feldman and Drew Barrymore. In 2010, we have quite a few teen stars of our own - but where will they wind up in 10 years?

Cowell Out: Top Five Jobs for Simon Cowell

With Simon Cowell out of the mix on “American Idol,” speculation is running rampant as to who will take his seat at the judges table. While nothing is certain just yet, there has been chatter of Howard Stern, Elton John and even Perez Hilton possibly filling his shoes on “Idol.” While that’s fine and dandy, there’s more important business to be preoccupied with: What will Simon do now?!

Posen For Target: Not Impressive, But Good Enough

The lookbook for Zac Posen for Target has been around for a while but the collection is about to hit the shelves on April 25. It makes me wonder if we’re seeing good clothes or simple rags. As for Gaultier, his collaboration with Target (which I saw and inspected myself last weekend) is rather triumphant. True, the fabrics are odd and the cuts are not “couture,” the silhouettes are less than perfect, but you can see the design process, the whole structure as being more than a mere attempt at creation a cheap clothing line.

Dolce & Gabbana Men’s Collection Fall 2010 is Nothing New

Finally, Milan brings us the glory of Italian fashion season! I love fashion weeks all over the world (there are so many that you can get to one pretty much three times a month). Having said that, I want to talk about one of my perennial favorites: Dolce & Gabbana.

Top 5 IKEA Commercials Of All Time

A lot of great home accessories and furnishings come from Ikea, just ask any poor college student. But by far, the best things THE POP FIX has ever seen from the Scandinavian mega-store are the ingenious ad campaigns. These comical advertisements have brightened our day, and even encouraged us to shop at Ikea and casually overlook the fact we’ll probably throw the items out after a year, if they even last that long. Enjoy our countdown of our favorite Ikea commercials.

Paranormal Activity Proves Americans Can Enjoy A Low Budget Film

Every couple of years, American theaters are graced with the presence of a film that doesn’t rely on a multi-million dollar budget in order to get people interested. This year’s Paranormal Activity is a prime example of how a low-budget movie that sacrifices special effects and high tech tricks can still scare us by letting our own imaginations do the work. We all know that movies with big budgets seem to be increasingly popular, James Cameron’s upcoming film Avatar boasts a budget of $300 million, making Paranormal Activity’s $11,000 budget seem minuscule. However, up until Michael Jackson’s posthumous documentary This Is It topped box office charts this weekend, Paranormal ruled the box office and grossed $65 million in North America…

Cyrus & Azria Collaboration A Shameful Sham

To express my feelings about what I saw, I must begin with the basics. The fabric is nauseating. It is basically wash-and-throw away, unworthy of even a Forever 21 rack. The lacking of quality in the fibers is a damn shame. Considering that Walmart can get basically anything at a discounted price, it surprises me that they would commit their name to buying these products. Notwithstanding the poor threads, the designs are so simple and uninspired I am also very surprised that Max Azria would lend his name to this charade. See, before this forsaken line, Walmart sold Miley t-shirts and pants, and even those were okay. They were for kids, for simple girls who worshipped her. But now, for young adults or teenagers, it seems rather appalling that they are expected to think this is fashionable. Target’s Gossip Girl inspired line is infinitely better (and believe me, that’s saying a lot) and it has been more cared for and closely watched by someone who knows about the fashion industry. Here, basically two celebrities lent their voices and personalities to sell a completely irrelevant product.
