BAG TREND- MARCELLO DE CARTIER

Fergie, Eva Mendes, Hilary Duff, and Halle Berry were all seen with this Cartier "Marcello" tote which also goes by Cartier Marcello de Cartier bag. (Try saying that three times fast, lol!) The best part of this trendy bag is the signature double C logo on the front.

According to the Cartier online boutique, the bag comes in three sizes: small for $1,000, medium for $1,220, and large for $1,800! So this bag may gain new life on the arms of celebrities because Hilary and Eva had their bags last Fall.

Moving right along....

Newly Calvin Klein brand face Eva appeared on the November 2008 cover edition of "Harper's Bazaar" magazine. The cover was for the Australian verison of the popular fashion publication. Eva spoke about her sense of style during the interview. "I try not to stand out. My style can be a little kooky, but I don’t want to be known for how I dress. I’ve made a conscious decision to stay away from dresses that make me stand out in a ‘fashiony’ way. I certainly love fashion, but I want to be known for my work. Not for being controversial on the red carpet.” [quote via Celeb Diry Laundry]

spotted at Hot Celebs Home.

Halle went shopping at Target..and that's what I call smart shopping. The new mom was also spotted on her way to her yoga class...and so that explains how she peeled off the post-pregnancy pounds.

2008 CDFA FASHION AWARDS

The New York Public Library hosted the 2008 CDFA Fashion Awards which included Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs, Lil' Kim, Naomi Campbell, Hilary Duff, Eva Mendes, and Eva Longoria Parker as its fashion forward guests.

Marc Jacobs Naomi Posh and Andre Talley Leon

The Parkers Naomi LL Posh and Eva Mendes

Lil' Kim on her new mixtape, "Ms. G.O.A.T": This mixtape is special to me because I do a lot of female-rapper songs over, and it’s almost a tribute to them and a thank-you and a shout-out. If no one else is gonna recognize them, I’m gonna recognize the women I looked up to and respect and love. I also got a lot of new songs on there, like the one with me and 50 Cent...[SUCKER FREE BLOG]

If you believe every rumor you read, then according to this report Naomi Campbell has been going bald for over 15 years due to wearing hair extensions. Do this matter??! Naomi's still fierce with or without hair!

Who wore what courtesy of STYLEWATCH: Eva Longoria - DVF, Victoria - Marc Jacobs, Hilary - Michael Kors, Eva Mendes- Calvin Klein & Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds, and Naomi - YSL.

SPOTTED HOOPLA AROUND THE RED CARPET

Erykah Badu performed with The Roots at the Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan. Check out those Christian Louboutin's - FIERCE!

Iman (in a red D&G gown) pose with her husband David Bowie at the Costume Institute Gala at the MET last night. "People" magazine honored Iman for her ageless beauty in their 100 Most Beautiful List.

Also at the fashion-forward event was Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet's daughter Zoe Kravitz. And I can't help but notice Janet Jackson and her fab Versace dress out in the background. I do love Zoe's mint green suede dress...and her role in Jay-Z's "I Know" music video.

Fergie (who took a brief from recording her sophomore solo effort with Polow Da Don in ATL) was seen at the MET in a black Calvin Klein number. On the red carpet Fergie pose with Hilary Duff (in Elie Saab) and Molly Simms (in Versace).

Eva Mendes (the new face of Calvin Klein) wore a light blue look from CK (Duh!) and Sergio Rossi heels. Eva pose with a CK-wearing Liv Tyler at the event. CK was on a roll at the event, huh?

Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, and Gladys Knight all had top billing at "Divas With Heart" Benefit Concert over at Radio City Music Hall. You simply gotta love these one-name only divas!

GABRIELLE AND JILL NUDE IN ALLURE

Gabrielle Union and Jill Scott get naked in Allure magazine

Photos: PEOPLE. ALLURE. ME!

Gabrielle Union and Jill Scott are two of five actresses who shed their clothes for the May issue of "Allure" magazine.

Jill Scott told Cara Litke of "Allure" that "nobody ever celebrates women whose bodies are bigger than a size 8. But here I am, naked in a magazine at size 16. I hope that I can be an inspiration to all women. We're all beautiful, each and every one of us."

Just in case you can't read the articles written on Gabrielle and Jill's photos, continue reading...

GABRIELLE UNION:

"I worked my ass off for this shoot," says Union. "I've always been athletic, but I stepped it up for this. I ran up and down stadium stars and went hiking. I'm cool with being naked, but I wanted to push myself." When the big day came, Union felt good about her toned body -especially her arms. At the shoot, however, the star of the comedy "Starship Dave" wasn't thinking about any of her body parts: "My iPOD was hooked up to the studio speakers, and I was paranoid that someone was going to think my playlist was weird - it has everything from show tunes to rap. But that's typical Gaby. I'm naked up there, and I'm worrying about my music."

JILL SCOTT:

Scott's reaction to the idea of disrobing: "No, Naked? You mean 'naked' naked? No Way," she says. "It was a frightening concept, and I had to be convinced." At the shoot, the Grammy Award-winning singer and star of the upcoming movie and TV series, "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" (she plays the full-figured Mma Ramostwe) was apprehensive. "I didn't sleep the night before. I love to be naked when it's just me at home, but I had no idea what it would be like to take my clothes off for the camera," she says. Turns out, "it took a lot of stand there naked in front of strangers and try to be comfortable and carefree. But I did it - and I'd do it again." As for the picture, "I'm blowing it up and putting it in my house," she says. "Just not where the cable guy can see it."

I don't understand how Jill got the short end stick of photoshop yet again! Regardless, both ladies are brave for going nude.

Jill and Gabrielle joined Kelly Rowland (May 2005), Vanessa Williams and Cassie (May 2007) who also went nude for the beauty publication.

HALLE BERRY'S JIMMY CHOO SABA BAG

Halle Berry's printed zebra handbag has been on my radar for awhile now and I thought I'll identify the bag for Urban-Hoopla readers.

A very pregnant Berry rock this slouchy pony-hair Jimmy Choo "Saba" bag while out and about last month in the Hollywood Hills. I like the African-inspired bangles on the strap.

Currently this handbag is out of stock via the Jimmy Choo official website.

Ironically so, Hilary Duff was seen arriving at LAX airport with the same Jimmy Choo saba handbag.

As always which LOOK is on LOCK-Hilary Duff or Halle Berry?

MID-WEEKDAY HOOPLA

Sports mavens Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods attended a golf charity event together:

that cigar, that swagger is unbeatable. That's the way you do your thing when you retire from the game. I would just who will be the one to become Michael Jordan's girl.

The handsome pair were at Pro-Am event during the Wachovia Championship at the Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Even Bob Johnson, aka the man behind BET, came through.

While going through my People magazine I was surprised I missed out on these two pages:

beyonce, lindsay, serena, kate, and leann

-why must I cry like right now?-

venus, hilary, haylie, shakira, and pamela

Which is worse--these dolls or the wax replica of Justin Timberlake?

The new Justin Timberlake wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in central London last Thursday. JT is currently on tour now:

He kicked off the second-leg of concert over to sell out crowd in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Rumor has it that is his next single, "Til the End of Time" which is like a breezy Maxwell-meets-Jodeci song. Word is that HBO is taping a concert special for JT's shows. Via WorldofJustin.com: "HBO will produce and air a Justin Timberlake show -- its first concert in four years -- and release the concert on DVD at a later date.
Show will be taped at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 16 and air Sept. 3. Concert is part of the former 'N Sync member's "FutureSex/LoveShow" tour, but the particular date was added at the behest of the pay net. HBO will tape a second show as backup." This is good news to those who couldn't get their hands on his sell-out concert dates. [pic credit: Yahoo]

Moving right along, Ciara is on the current cover of "Rap-Up" magazine:

I don't know about you but Ciara needs to drop another single. "My Love" is a personal favorite of mine's but I'm just saying...[pic credit: Rap-Up]
