Don't be fooled, those stars aren't sitting in the front row at the shows for the fun of it
Sometimes, I just like fashion. It makes a man like me to rub shoulders with the beautiful and famous.On Monday, when I sit behind with the kylie minogue held in Paris, dior to wonder intimate contact, on her forehead wrinkles, never even when a woman with a statement lapdog pushing her handbag.
In the fashion show that night, I chat prices of Anne hathaway delicate pink clothes corseted set with stardust we saw just now, everyone must be rushed to take the oscars.
Rubbing shoulders with the stars: Liz with actress Anne Hathaway
I asked her, she has shown so far, she was looking forward to the chanel?In those lovely eyes flash anxiety. "Oh, no. I won't go to see something else. I only wear in armani. I amani, incidentally. Isn't very cute?"
Have you. Marriage is the movie stars and fashion designers seem to lovey - with a kiss, dovey, air is, of course, all the knowledge about money.
Celebrities are notoriously volatile, i.e., unless they are forced to wear in the contract a frock, they may change their ideas in the final minute.
Last Sunday, send E-mail to Gucci world fashion editors announced Penelope cruz's first ever wear robes Gucci sag award clothing.
Hours later, a follow-up mail said, because "killer", Penelope sewing problem didn't wear clothes. Oh, dear. She eats too much paella?

But even when a star has been sewn up, metaphorically as well as literally, by a fashion house, the relationship can still backfire. A designer surrounded by yes men can become hopelessly out of touch with popular culture, and simply choose someone who is wrong for his brand.
Many in the industry thought the union of the ultra-bourgeois Chanel with the young, gauche pop star Lily Allen a mismatch.
Turning up to sit front row is tricky for the celebrity, too.
If you are a rising star, looking pretty perched on a tiny gilt chair brings you to the attention of designers.
It's no accident that a couple of seasons ago Emma Watson was seen looking all grown up at Yves Saint Laurent et al, and soon after landed an advertising contract with Burberry.
But being with friends by new years have adverse effect can now ubiquitous, have seen in this - But the show has adverse effects. Too everywhere, in Paris last week saw much burlesque artist von teese, rap trends and bond girl who Kurylenko orff began to doubt whether you have any better with your time.
Big star faustian pacts and greater labels, makes it almost impossible to see the new designer in Oscar dress or even a star for premiere.
I Simoens maxime visited the studio, young designers have just completed his first meeting collection.
He found it difficult to persuade actors in his Twenties, intricate influenced - because he can't afford gown.
"Even though actor liked collecting - Diana Kruger buy my skirt recently -- agents won't let her wear my dress to the oscars," he said.
"They don't even allowed to see my collection, for fear that they may lose the chance to wear a star established by the designer, which in turn means they may miss the advertising landing.
"This is why you will see a lot of stars on the red carpet in the earth, the old 5 or 6 big list, again and again. It no longer to fashion; it is about finance."
And then there are the celebrities who cut out the middle man and become designers themselves.
I asked Simoens, who studied at the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and cut his teeth at Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier, how he feels about Victoria Beckham's new collection.
'It makes me wild,' he says.
But it seems the big name designers, many of whom have said they will not dress women who are 'too big', have been caught out because the hottest name at the award shows right now is Gabourey Sidibe, the 21-stone star of the film Precious.
The only designer who offered to dress her before the rave reviews and nominations was Kevan Hall.
He said the reason the major names haven't snapped her up is because they are 'egotistical and lazy'.
Does he enjoy dressing actresses and singers rather than models?
'With a star, you're always treading lightly. I've had actresses who are a size 2 stand in front of me and weep.'
And while in a way it's gratifying that a famous, beautiful woman has the same hang-ups as the rest of us, the fact even superstars hate their bodies is a shocking indictment of an industry that is meant to feed our dreams, not fuel our nightmares.
