Come on. You knew it. Duana rolled her eyes as soon as she saw the braid. And the print. For all the slinky mermaids and the red taffetas and the strapless sparkles and the goddamn lace, Lucy Liu’s Carolina Herrera was an exception. No one else was working this shape with this much structure. Full Story

Last night was the premiere of the CBS version of Sherlock, titled Elementary since the Sherlock producers declined to sell Americans the rights to their show. Starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, it’s been the brunt of a lot of “why bother, the BBC show is so good and this is just a cheap knock-off” criticism, and I’ve been part of that. Full Story

When we talked last night in preparation for how we’d split up the style coverage, Lucy Liu was Duana’s Worst Dressed...as she shows up on every other list as the Best. Oh because it’s tight and silver and sparkled like a new toy on television. Versace, of course. And that’s part of the letdown. Full Story

This is Lucy Liu on the New York set of Elementary yesterday, a new Sherlock Holmes pilot for CBS. Liu is “Joan Watson”, the sober companion to Jonny Lee Miller’s Holmes who’s just come out of rehab. Needless to say, the purists are punching themselves in the face out of frustration. Look, I’m ok with Watson being a girl, and an Asian one too. Full Story

As you know, I am all about reading YA. As I’ve noted, too many times, YA is way underrated. Good YA is as profound, complex, and insightful as any “adult” classified counterpart and again, if you don’t believe me, check out The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (YA) which is a masterpiece compared to Yann Martel – yeah, THAT Yann Martel – and Beatrice & Virgil, his latest smug mess. Full Story

As noted by Jacek, I have a wonk eye too. And there’s nothing subtle about it, also more noticeable when I wear glasses. Wish I could wear glasses all the time, but it’s simply not practical. Duana had the laser surgery a few years ago and it changed her life. Full Story

It’s Hayden Panettiere at the Madonna concert last night with red lips, heels, all black and a plunging neckline. She’s 18! At a concert! Heidi Klum wore jeans, Kate Moss was casual, so was Lucy Liu, especially Isla Fisher…but Hayden had to be Hayden. Like a 40 years old. Only time she dresses her age is when other people do it for her on her tv show. Full Story

Salma Hayek took her man and her baby and the paps for a walk yesterday in New York, giving photographers a safe glimpse at Valentina and giving us an image that is sure to sell the world over. Check at Salma bundled up and chic and her fiancé Francois caught in a passionate embrace. He reminds me of Daniel Craig. Full Story

Not for everyone, hell no. You may think it’s ugly – and you certainly wouldn’t be alone – but as opposed to Blake’s Barbara Walter’s moment, at least there’s something campy arty going on. At least it’s fun. Lucy Liu’s pink and purple ensemble yesterday at Valentino in Paris, I mean. Full Story

Did you watch Cashmere Mafia? It’s been destroyed by critics but viewer votes are still trickling in. In support of her new show, Lucy Liu appeared on Letterman last night in total fashion overkill. The dress, as you can see, is all kinds of amazing. Amazing. Amazing McQueen, I think? But then came the coat and the bag and the too much mismatchy and Ai Ya! Suddenly Lucy is a bag lady…though a very young one at that. Full Story

After what appeared to be a shaky start, looks like Patricia Field has found her footing – Lucy Liu’s wardrobe in Cashmere Mafia has shown significant improvement. And this outfit is no exception. That little dress is unbelievable. And that man beside her is even better. HOT Asian man’s name is Jack Yang. Full Story

Chinese people don’t wear green hats. Wearing a green hat means you’ve been cuckolded and who wants to walk around advertising that they’ve been chumped? Check out Lucy Liu on the set of Cashmere Mafia the other day. Hopefully she doesn’t have a boyfriend. And too bad whoever’s styling this set sucks ass. Full Story

Thank Goddess she’s given up the kung fu chops and focused on acting in other areas. Check it out – Lucy Liu at an ABC fall line up event. Can you believe she’s almost 40? Actually I can. Like I’ve said before…we Asians age in the most peculiar fashion: young young young til 60. Full Story
