An Inside look at the Q


The Celebrity Apprentice will feature QVC on tonight's episode at 8 p.m. The contestants have to create a 10-minute sales pitch to be aired on QVC. Reality shows have been to the Q before, but if you missed those here's your chance to check out the Q studio.

Oh and if you're staying in tonight, Heidi Klum will be on Jay Leno. Maybe she'll talk about her lawsuit. Probably not. Enjoy.

Trouble for Klum







Parisian jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels is suing Heidi Klum. Van Cleef claims Klum has ripped off their trademark Alhambra (clover shape) design. The New York Post reported that the suit claims Klum and her jewelry manufacturer "appropriated this design and incorporated it into their jewelry line, attempting to appropriate the good will built by Van Cleef & Arpels to create their own 'symbol.' " Van Cleef & Arpels are seeking damages of $75,000+ for copyright infringement and unfair competition.

Judge for yourself. I have posted pictures of Klum with her designs, and Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra design. I think Klum has no case. I loved her designs so much because they looked like the VCA designs - at a cheaper price. Klum might be saying auf wiedersehen to her jewels soon.

Straight up, now tell me


Paula Adbul is pissed at QVC. According to The Sun, Abdul promised her American Idol co-hosts items from her new QVC jewelry line. Her rep forgot to set these aside for her, and now poor Paula has to pay for her own designs like the rest of us. Boo hoo.
