JOHNNY WEIR: THE GAY KIM K?

Olympic skater Johnny Weir is obsessed with flashing designer names and he’s especially fond of designer handbags. He proudly admits to having at least 40 Balenciaga bags, over a dozen Chanel bags, and a shocking, but undisclosed, number of pricey Hermes Birkin bags. Six years ago, when he divorced Victor Voronov, Johnny confessed that he cheated on his husband and Victor retaliated by defacing some of his Birkin bags. THAT put an end to the stormy marriage. Due to his handbag addiction, Johnny has been called “the gay Kim K” and he’s not at ALL insulted!

SNOOP DOGG: REAL MEN CARRY VUITTON HANDBAGS

Young or old, most rappers seem to enjoy flaunting their wealth in every way possible – jewelry, cars, and most surprisingly, designer handbags. (Pharrell thought nothing of carrying handbags and it got him a Chanel manbag ad campaign. Lenny Kravitz has been seen wearing a shoulderbag AND high heel boots!) ) It’s the old-school gangsta rappers that still surprise us when they carry designer bags. Snoop Dogg sauntered into Drake’s birthday party with “numerous female companions“ in this green tracksuit with shoelaces to match, and a Vuitton crossbody shoulderbag.

JOEY BADASS AND ANWAR HADID HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

Okay, it’s time to declare “men wearing women’s purses with no qualms” a definite TREND. First we noticed model Anwar Hadid frequently wearing a pink women’s handbag strapped across his chest. He wears the purse with a tuxedo or sportswear. Now we see Brooklyn born rapper Joey Badass proudly wearing a women’s Coach handbag strapped across HIS chest. (You might remember him from Mr Robot – he plays Leon.) Joey Badass looked perfectly comfortable with his bag as he left a New York Fashion Week event.

ANWAR HADID STILL DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK

Curious that Anwar Hadid, 18, is still wearing that baby blue Goyard handbag, while his model sisters Gigi and Bella rarely carry a bag at all – only their phones! Anwar doesn’t hesitate to wear the bag to black tie or casual events, and doesn’t consider it a challenge to his masculinity. (Remember, he has a gorgeous girlfriend five years older than he is.) What we’d like to know is: what’s IN that bag. We wish some magazine like GQ would coax him into emptying his handbag and talking about the contents like female celebrities often do.

KANYE WEST AND HIS ARTISTIC PREDILECTIONS

kim-kanye-condo-bag#17cut

We simply cannot let the issue of the handbag that Kanye West gave Kim for Christmas pass by without comment. Granted, Kim may be tough to shop for- because she seems to already have everything – materialistic, that is. Kanye was determined to show both his generosity and the “artistic edge” he claims to have acquired, so he took a $16,000 Hermes Birkin bag and had artist George Condo paint on it. Condo’s work has been known to sell for a million dollars, but this looks like an atrocity to us. We think he ruined a perfectly nice bag, but Kim says she loves it and posted this photo on Instagram.

JAIME PRESSLY ACCUSES ESTELLA WARREN OF PURSE SNATCHING!

There simply aren’t enough stories about celebrity thievery and they ARE fascinating! This weekend “My Name is Earl” actress Jaime Pressly played detective and accused “Planet of the Apes” actress, Estella Warren, of stealing her assistant’s handbag! The three women were at the same LA partly when Jaime’s assistant realized her purse was missing. Crimefighter Jaime used the location app to track the iPhone in the purse. The app led them to the Bootsy Bellows club in Hollywood. They found Estella with the phone and the handbag, which now also contained drug paraphernalia. Cops were called and we’re betting Jaime’s detective work paid off. Two years ago Estella, 34, had a DUI in which she hit three parked cars and then kicked the policeman who arrested her. She also famously escaped from the police station but was ultimately caught and sentenced to six months in rehab.

KARL LAGERFELD KNOWS HOW TO SAY “I’M SORRY” TO ADELE


Karl Lagerfeld put his foot in his mouth when he remarked that singer Adele “is a little too fat but she has a beautiful face and divine voice.” It caused a huge uproar on the internet with everyone EXCEPT Adele who insisted she didn’t care what people thought of her size because she was happy with it. Karl was RUDE (even though he was correct) and he quickly backpedaled. Does Adele really think we believe for a MINUTE that she doesn’t care about her weight? She’s a young woman in show business! Regardless of all this – there IS a happy ending. Karl further apologized by sending Adele an ENORMOUS gift- all the best handbags from his new Chanel collection – hard to get, and worth thousands of dollars each!
