“Gossip Girl” Leighton Meester Trades Headbands For Reebok Kicks

“Blake Lively Lands The Cover of Vogue And All I Got Are These Stupid Shoes”

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester has become quite the twee fashion plate so it’s no wonder Reebok would want to sign the young Hollywood “It” girl to pimp their line of kicks for girls, which are billed as “fashion forward styles in bold colors and sporty silhouettes for the urban girl.”

Leaving aside the fact that Leighton Meester would never, ever (never, ever? No, never) wear this brand in real life, we do wonder, why on EARTH they would put her into a god-awful pair of shoes, instead of oh, a pair that people would actually want to buy?! And from the look on her face, she knows it’s a hot mess. Blair Waldorf so would not approve. Oh, the perils of contractual obligations. We totally realize Leighton probably wanted to snag a deal while the getting was good and GG is still hot, but couldn’t her agent have hooked her up with an argyle sweater or headband deal or something?

From the knees up, Leighton’s 3.1 Phillip Lim dress and purple jacket is super cute. Kind of, city girl going shopping on the weekend before meeting her gal pals for a spot of lunch and who’s sleeping with who dish and “oh my god, can you believe she’s wearing clothes from last season?” But those sneaks just don’t go with the outfit, and worse, they make her legs look stumpy, which is probably not what Reebok is going for. If Leighton can’t look good in them, us normies are doomed.

For the life us we can’t understand why the people styling these events don’t put Said Starlet into something she might actually wear with whatever crap product they’re hawking. Though we are loathe to admit it (to the point of throwing up in our mouths a little), Mischa Barton’s outfits were always coordinated with the Keds she was pushing back before the former next big thing’s career went on indefinite pause. As far as Leighton, well, it could have been worse. The good folks at Reebok could have made her wear the bright pink clown shoes on the table behind her.

Athletic shoes these days aren’t just the gym anymore. Styles like these chic ‘India’ skimmers from Gola give girls on the go traction and support without sacrificing that “ooooh, cute shoes” appeal.

Jack Black and Lucy Liu: Shoes to Kung Fu To!

Kung Fu Panda Marketing Machine Hits London sans Angelina

Last night, Jack Black and Lucy Liu were on hand to kick off the premiere of Kung Fu Panda in London. Angelina Jolie, having worked overtime to promote the blockbuster in Cannes, takes a third-trimester break from the action. We love this shot of her flanked by her bump-worshipping co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black at the photo call in Cannes last May.

Yesterday, the marketing juggernaut continued in Leicester Square, London. No one mounts red carpet stunts quite like the promotions execs at Dreamworks. Marshalling in prop pieces, acrobats, paying guys to stand around in mammoth panda suits… there’s nothing that the Dreamworks marketing machine won’t do to get attention. Jack Black, ever ready to strike a pose, got into “character” for the carpet - resulting in great visibility for Adidas!

And yes, doing stunts like Jack will get you pride of place in the ShoeMinx scheme of things. As you can see here, it goes priority preggers, then hijinks (we love hijinks!), then uumph. Lucy Liu comes in with a sky high uumph factor in these black sling back stilettos.
