Trend Alert: Gothic Jewels

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Soon, vamps will not only be trendy on the screen. I'm anticipating gothic jewels in the form of rosaries, crosses, and shark teeth, apparently, to start warding off delicious evil. Twilight's Robert Pattinson recently went gaga over Finn jewelry's pavé diamond shark’s tooth necklace at a photo shoot. The stylist on set was wearing said necklace and Pattinson ended up buying an 18-karat gold version on a leather cord. Other manly men who dig Finn's sharky bling: Liev Schreiber and Brad Pitt.
On the Angels and Demons side of the Hellmouth, Italian jewelry brand Damiani merged with costume designer Daniel Orlandi to create the jewelry for the action film. The special collection of crosses and rosary beads inspired by the film will be crafted with gold, diamonds, onyx, and black enamel. The line, aptly named Angels & Demons, will make an appearance at the upcoming Couture trade show in Las Vegas. Don't get too excited; prices range from $3,440-$8,540. Nobody said it was cheap being Buffy . . .

To get in early on this trend,

Celebrity Style: Jessica Simpson

If ever you're having a bad day, throw on a bright red dress and see how your mood turns around. Jessica Simpson has nothing to be sad about, but she still donned a red dress while in NYC. A loud dress doesn't require much accessorizing, but Jess jazzed up her look with a rosary, a cross, and stacked bangles. On her feet, she wore Frye's buckle sandals, and on her eyes, cool aviators. I'm sure there will be some red dresses in Jessica's upcoming dress collection.

Is Lady Gaga's New Single "Judas" Worth the Controversy?

Annie Scudder — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 09:45:47 PDT

Lady Gaga's latest song, "Judas," dropped last Friday, on time for Holy Week. In the song, Gaga declares her love for Judas, and in the upcoming video expect to see her decked out as Mary Magdalene.

The president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has already condemned the song, and Lady Gaga's talent in general, saying: "Lady Gaga tries to continue to shock Catholics and Christians in general: she dresses as a nun . . . she swallows the rosary. She has now morphed into a caricature of herself . . . She is trying to rip off Christian idolatry to shore up her talentless, mundane, and boring performances."

Lady Gaga seemed to use her Catholic-school background for the track, drawing "Judas" lyrics from her own eccentric interpretation of the Bible. "When he comes to me, I am ready. I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs," goes one verse. "Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain. Even after three times, he betrays me. I'll bring him down, a king with no crown."

After Madonna's "Like a Prayer" upset the Catholic Church way back in 1989, it's easy to consider the reaction to, and perhaps the existence of, Lady Gaga's new track "Judas" as predictable. Do you think Gaga's religion-infused song is worthy of controversy, or is it just an expected pop-music gimmick?
