Glam Slam: The Friday Five! (March 20, 2009)

March Madness is in full swing so in honor of my favorite sporting event, here are five other things I'm MAD about this week!

1) Valentino - Though he retired in 2007, the famed designer is as relevant as ever. A new documentary on his life, "Valentino: The Last Emperor" opens this week in NY (with more cities to follow) and at the film's premiere Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway and Claire Danes looked gorgeous in his dresses!

2) "Running in Heels" - My new guilty pleasure. The reality show on the Style Network chronicles life at Marie Claire Magazine… following around everyone from the three new interns (a backstabbing bunch) to the no-nonsense Editor-in-Chief!

3) New Balance for Nine West - If running in heels isn't your thing, check out the New Balance for Nine West collection. I'm not usually a sneaker girl, but in fun colors and styles these are adorable - fashion is not sacrificed for function! Selena Gomez is a fan of the line, which retails starting at $70. Check them out at www.ninewest.com/newbalance

4) "Exactly As I Am" - We spend a lot of time in Glam Slam talking about outer beauty but even more important, of course, is inner beauty. Access Hollywood's own Shaun Robinson has written a book all about girls and self-esteem. It's a collection of wisdom and experiences of both celebrities (Oprah! Jennifer Hudson! Eva Mendes!) and everyday teenagers. Pre-order it at www.amazon.com.
