Gossip Girl may be “Every Parent’s Nightmare”, to quote the ubiquitous billboards showing the pretty cast getting down and dirty, but Blake Lively’s hair is every beauty addict’s dream.  No?  (Chace Crawford isn’t too damn bad, either.  I’m sure he rolls out of bed looking camera-ready, but I do wonder how much time our boys have to spend in the hair and makeup chair everyday to get them looking just right.)  Gossip Girl seems to be single-handedly championing a scarf/headband/hairpiece revival, which is very helpful for those lazy girls (like moi!) who enjoy rolling out of bed and haphazardly making the stuff on our head look presentable.  One of my favorite places for cute-but-still-affordable hair accessories is Target.  Check out the Isaac Mizrahi rhinestone headband below, which is sort of similar to the Grecian-inspired look Serena Blake is sporting below.  Sure, it says it’s bridal, but why wait for a $50,000 party when you can wear it now?

What were you doing this weekend?  If you’re any kind of fabulous, you were either in Bridgehampton at the Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge 2008 (like Chace Crawford, Nicky Hilton and Argentine pretty boy Polo spokesman Nacho Figueras), or in Midhurst, England (my old stomping grounds!) at the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup at Cowdray.  (I did not polo, so therefore, I am not fabulous.  Simple math.)

The hottest bachelor in the world is A.C. Slater?  Seriously?  I think I’ll pass.  I still haven’t forgiven him for cheating on the Doritos girl.  Sorry, Mario.

I’m just in an apathetic mood today.  None of them are really doing it for me. 

How much do you want to bet David Cook is thinking, “Buy my album.  Get me out of here.  Make the puppy dog face.  When do these photo shoot obligations stop?  God, I hope I sell more records than Ruben Studdard.”
