PICTURE ALEXIS CARRINGTON SHOPPING AT IKEA

Can you imagine Dynasty star Joan Collins eating Ikea’s Swedish meatballs? When she posted this photo on Instagram, Joan confessed that she had been scolded by a security guard when when was reading the menu at an Ikea restaurant in France. She was wearing a plastic face shield instead of a mask and was told that a mask was essential. She was obviously miffed, but pulled on a mask under the shield. We are totally amused at the idea of Joan Collins eating in the discount cafeteria at Ikea! Currently, the still playful Joan (who is now an unbelievable 87) is stylishly isolating with her 55 year old husband Percy in St Tropez.

Ikea Saudi Arabia Women Women's Rights

IKEA IS PANDERING TO MISOGYNISTS

#ikea #janetcharlton

Is anybody else tired of “respecting” other people’s religions even when it means demeaning and insulting women? And to think we always had such a high opinion of Ikea! It has been revealed by the Stockholm paper Metro, that ALL WOMEN have been deleted from the Ikea catalog for Saudi Arabia! Every image of a female – including a photo of Audrey Hepburn was edited OUT. Ikea is in the habit of tailoring catalogs for each country to appeal to local taste and cultural standards but THIS is too much. When confronted with this insult to women, an Ikea rep gulped and admitted the move is “in conflict with company values and Ikea is reviewing its procedures.” No kidding.
UPDATE: This morning Star Jones said she didn’t see anything wrong with what Ikea did.

Austin Butler Ikea Vanessa Hudgens Zac Efron

VANESSA HUDGENS AND AUSTIN BUTLER GET PLAYFUL IN IKEA

Something’s going on with Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend of nine months Austin Butler. First, Vanessa was seen moving large pieces of furniture out of her LA home into a rented u-haul – which the two Disney stars drove away. Later they were spotted at Ikea stocking up on bookshelves, tables, lighting, and art, like newlyweds. They loaded two carts with their purchases and had to put the stuff together when they got home. It could be that Austin in moving into Vanessa’s 5200 sq ft house – her last boyfriend Zac Efron shared the place with her. Maybe she’s getting rid of everything that reminds her of Zac.

Billy Idol Commercial Ikea Video

BILLY IDOL RAPS FOR IKEA

Video via: The WOW Report

We can’t imagine anyone who was alive in the 80’s that didn’t have a crush on Billy Idol. He was seen all over Hollywood on his motorcycle and overdosed in public places (like in parking lots) numerous times, but always recovered. And he still looks good at 56. This is an ad he did for – of all places – Ikea, back in 2002

"Up in the Air" Anna Kendrick Ikea Oscars

ANNA KENDRICK CALLS THE SHOTS AT IKEA

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (“Up in the Air”) is not above buying furniture at Ikea in Burbank- she brought along a hooded mystery man to help her stuff it into her car. As you can see, SHE is in charge. We bet he’ll be stuck helping her put the furniture together also. Maybe she’ll reward this new guy by taking him to the Academy Awards. She has her pal Adam Lambert to fall back on if this doesn’t work out.
