Beyonce Vs. Rihanna: Who is The Fiercest One of All?

Mrs. Jay-Z Goes Edgy in Gareth Pugh and Alexander McQueen-And That Metal Glove, Of Course

Talk to the (metal) hand, Rihanna.  Beyonce and her musical alter ego Sasha Fierce are ready to bring it for Pop Diva Supremacy.

It all started with that cyborg metal glove. Beyonce, sorry Sasha, first wore it to accessorize her leotard in her “Single Ladies” video. But then it took on a life of its own, appearing on her manicured hand at red-carpet appearances and live performances, including the MTV Europe Music Awards where she paired it with a Gareth Pugh dress and again with Alexander McQueen at the World Music Awards instead of her usual frou-frou pageant gowns. Little sis Solange, who’s working on carving a niche for herself as the “avant-garde-y one” is probably pissed that her older sis is trying to one-up her. Again.

And there’s Bey again with the glove in pictures for her new album, I Am Sasha Fierce and sporting the Thierry Mugler motorcycle top from George Michael’s “Too Funky” video. But borrowing the whole Garth Brooks-Chris Gains alter-ego thing, Michael Jackson’s solo glove shtick and Mr. “I Want Your Sex’s” costuming does not a high-fashion diva make. Regular dress heels with Gareth Pugh? A ponytail and smoky eyes? It’s like she’s half-heartedly trying but doesn’t really want to kick off the stilettos and take it to the next level. If she did, she’d look like . . . well, this:

Rihanna picked up a trophy for Favorite Female Artist at the American Music Awards and wins ShoeMinx’s award for Most Dangerous Outfit of the Night in a spiky bodice with biker chains and thigh-high boots. Now that’s fierce.

Even Christian Siriano would agree that these Robert Clergerie gladiator-style sandals with futuristic flare are fierce and fabulous.

Reese Witherspoon Shows No Holiday Cheer for Four Christmases

Bah Humbug: Oscar-Winner Can Fake A Country Tune, But Enthusiasm for New Movie . . . Not So Much

Reese Witherspoon has it all. While Julie Roberts took time off from being America’s Golden Girl for double-duty mommy detail, the pixie actress stepped in to fill the $20 million a flick void.  And the Legally Blonde star majorly upgraded her love life post-Phillippe, trading the double-dipping C-lister for Brokeback Mountain squeeze Jake Gyllenhaal.

So what’s with the Debbie Downer duds lately, Reese? The couture cutie hasn’t exactly been sporting ho-ho-ho Santa sweaters on the promotional trail for her heapin’-helping-o-holiday-humor movie Four Christmases.  Noticeably absent, co-star Vince Vaughn, lending credence to those naggingly persistent rumors that the only chemistry generated between them was intense dislike.

The actress, who won an Oscar for channeling June Cash in Walk the Line returned to her countrified roots at the Country Music Awards, and used the opportunity to walk on the dark side of fashion.  Reese cut a dramatic path through the sea of cowboy hats and big-as-Texas belt buckles in a black, one-shoulder Marchesa gown with peekaboo lace bodice.  On someone like, say Kim Kardashian, this saucy number would look like a “Dancing with the Stars” costume but this being Reese; she shows just enough skin to be classy instead of trashy.

She even ditched her usual sunny Southern belle style for the movie’s premiere, sporting an emo Nina Ricca dress, complete with heavy eye-liner that Pete Wentz would envy, gold dagger necklace and black open-toe booties.  Is the threat of violence the new black?

Maybe the moody getups are PR payback for the “Type A” star having to pretend that Vince “Type Balding Slob” Vaughn is still a swinging heart throb and not a pudgy, played-out player.  What on *earth* did Jennifer Aniston ever see in him?!

Unlike that indigestible holiday fruit cake or that horrible hand-knit sweater from Grandma, you won’t want to re-gift these gorgeous Sergio Rossi booties.
