Louis Vuitton: Celebrities Abusing Our Brand is “Seriously Frowned Upon”
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton is quick to sue anyone who misuses their brand. LVMH legal department has filed lawsuits against major corporations such as Hyundai (for infringing on its brand in a car commercial); and Warner Brothers (for using a fake bag in the movie Hangover 2).
Now LV has set their sights on celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith for wearing clothing using the fake Louis Vuitton monogram.
Celebrities are known for hiring tailors to construct clothing using famous, but fake brand names. Now Louis Vuitton is cracking down on the brand thieves.
This week, Bieber, 18, wore a jacket to the Consumer Electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas that caught the eye of fashionistas who thought the jacket was custom made by the iconic brand. But a rep in the LV corporate office told us exclusively: “The jacket Bieber is wearing is a cheap knockoff of the Louis Vuitton brand.” The rep pointed out the red LEVI’s tag on the jacket pocket as proof that the jacket is a counterfeit.
In an exclusive statement Sandrarose.com, the LV rep said:
“Anything unauthentic, whether worn by a famous individual or not, is seriously frowned upon.”
Calls to Justin and Jaden’s reps were not immediately returned.
Beyonce’s Security Blocks Dad from Seeing His Newborn Twins
As most of you know (unless you’ve been living under a rock) Beyonce’s surrogate mother gave birth to the singer’s first baby at an upper East side hospital in NY over the weekend.
The baby, named Blue Ivy (after Jay Z’s album Blueprint and Beyonce’s album, ’4′), was born by c-section on Saturday afternoon at Lenox Hill hospital. A hospital source dismissed rumors that Beyonce and Jay rented an entire hospital floor for $1.3 million.
“We don’t have entire floors sitting empty at Lenox Hill,” scoffed the source. Our source told us Beyonce and Jay Z were charged the same amount for services as any other patient. If anything, they spent that amount just on security,” she said.
Our source confirmed that the narcissistic couple actually shared the maternity ward with other expectant mothers.
According to the NY Daily News, Beyonce and her entourage occupied a vast area of the maternity wing, which caused problems for visitors attempting to see their newborns in the Neonatal ICU unit on the same floor.
Neil Coulon, 38, of Brooklyn (pictured at right) said the stress of his wife delivering two premature girls was tripled by Beyoncé’s bodyguards treating Lenox Hill Hospital like an exclusive nightclub.
Coulon griped that he’s been repeatedly barred from the sixth-floor neonatal intensive care unit, once for 20 minutes, by the superstar couple’s private security.
He said bodyguards wearing headsets even cleared the sixth floor waiting room, booting his relatives out.
“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday — just because they wanted to use the hallway,” said Coulon, a contractor from Bedford-Stuyvesant.
“They should have been more strategic about it,” he said. “These are children with problems in intensive care and you’re just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology. Source

SHAMEFUL: Duggars Exploit Miscarried 20th Baby
The Duggar family from TLC’s “19 Kids & Counting” held a funeral for Michelle Duggar’s miscarried baby in Arkansas yesterday. The fetus would have been the couple’s 20th child had she lived to term. But, according to TMZ, the couple “chose a unique way to commemorate the life” of Jubilee Shalom Duggar, who was due in April 2012.
… they took an artsy picture of the fetal corpse … and distributed it at the memorial.
The Duggars held a memorial today at their church in Arkansas, where they distributed the above photographs — containing messages like, “There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.”
The photos were first posted on Twitter by a family member — and then surfaced on a fan site.
They missed out on the opportunity to exploit the baby for television ratings, so they shamelessly exploit the dead fetus with cameras rolling. The Duggars are shameless media whores who will do anything for attention!
SHOCKER: MTV Throws Shade at Beyonce!
Yesterday MTV published an article on Beyonce that read like a diss pretending to be a logical explanation for why she pushed her reported due date up by 2 months (so she can give birth in peace).
The article, titled “Does Beyonce Have A Smoke And Mirrors Plan To Have Her Baby In Peace?“, was a long overdue, disguised attack on Beyonce’s credibility and narcissism.
We told you last month that the national media weren’t all that thrilled that Bey tricked them by showing up pregnant one day, when she had been in the public eye all along. We told you that there would be some form of retaliation from the tabloids in response to Beyonce’s blatant manipulation tactics.
But this all-out attack on Beyonce’s credibility by a national music network seems bizarre when you consider their usual ersatz approach to Beyonce coverage in the past.
The article starts off innocently enough — “Beyonce is one smart cookie”. But then the writer launches into an SR-worthy critical analysis of Beyonce’s baby bump — complete with images showing the bump’s ridiculous progression from zero to 5 months.
*(We highlighted the particularly biting comments for emphasis!)
Yes, pregnancy hits everyone a little differently, every lady gains different amounts of weight and begins to show at different times, but does Beyonce look five months pregnant in the first image [above] (from August 18)?
Which brings us to the second and third pictures in the above image. Again, a lot can happen in three weeks in the life of a pregnant woman, and we hold degrees in English and communications and not obstetrics so we are not experts in pregnancy, but the middle image is from Beyonce’s performance at the MTV Video Music awards on August 28 and the third image is from the “Countdown” set video on Sept. 23. It’s a dramatic difference.
It’s also worth pointing out that the first image and the third image in the above photo were taken one month and five days apart.
It warmed the cockles of our hearts to see a national media outlet going IN on Beyonce. We only hope that more journalists will continue to expose her for the fraud that she is.
Special thanks to loyal reader Shani for the tip!
EXPOSED: Kris Humphries Reveals Secrets Behind Kim K’s Fake Booty
According to the National Enquirer, Kris Humphries is ignoring that 30-page prenup requiring him to keep his mouth shut about Kim’s silicone loaded butt.
KIM KARDASHIAN’s big booty is a big, fat fake, sources say – and her estranged hubby KRIS HUMPHRIES is threatening to expose the truth!
The reality TV sexpot insists her bubble butt is all natural . . . But some insiders claim the curvy 31-year-old beauty uses butt pads and say Kris filmed a video that proves his estranged wife’s prized posterior is phony!
Kris remarked to pals that, while he loves Kim’s shapely butt, it’s not the same as what you see on the red carpet…or TV.
“Kris told his buddies that it takes a lot of work for Kim to make her bottom look as good as it does,” said a source. “He revealed all her secrets – how she uses ‘booty pads,’ Spanx and other things to enhance it. When she takes off the Spanx, the pads and everything else, it’s not the same.
“He knows what the real thing looks like – because he’s recorded it on his cell phone camera!”
Jay Z Pulls Occupy T-Shirts from Rocawear Amid Criticism
Rap mogul Jay Z has come under heavy fire for attempting to profit off the Occupy Wall Street movement by selling ‘Occupy All Streets’ t-shirts on Rocawear.com without donating a portion of the proceeds back to the movement.
Jay Z quickly pulled the t-shirts from the website amid heavy criticism in the media.
The Occupy movement organizers say Jay Z is typical of the corporate greed that gave birth to the Occupy movement. Jay Z, Kanye West and Russell Simmons have been widely criticized for pretending to be supporters of the movement when they are really looking for ways to line their own pockets.
Before the t-shirts were pulled … TMZ spoke with Grim, one of the leaders of the Occupy movement, who told us, “Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum. To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet.”
