Stella McCartney, fashion designer extraordinare daughter of Paul McCartney, is pissed off royal.  Wanna know why?  Well, I’ll tell you….as you all may or may not know, Stella is a strict vegetarian and a HUGE supporter of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).  She even held the Peta Humanitarian Awards ceremony at her designer clothing boutique in Mayfair, London back in 2006.  Anyway, an ad in the latest issue of Vogue magazine shows a bra from Stella’s lingerie collection peeking out from underneath a $13,000 full length mink coat.  To add insult to injury, the coat was cinched at the waist with a big ass black leather belt.  Ouchie.  Needless to say when Stella caught a gander (no pun intended) at this ad, she was a tad miffed.

‘Stella went absolutely ballistic when she saw it,’ a source at Ms McCartney’s store in Mayfair told The Mail on Sunday. ‘I have never seen her so angry. She hit the roof and said that she planned to sue.

It actually sounds like an innocent mistake by the people at Hockley, the fashion house that designs the fur coats.  A source from Stella McCartney said that a sylist that they have worked with in the past asked to borrow some samples from Stella’s collection.

‘A stylist asked to borrow lingerie to use for an editorial fashion shoot in April,’ the source said. ‘The stylist made a mistake and used it in an advertising campaign instead, under a fur coat, without telling Stella McCartney or seeking her approval.

Apologies to Stella have been issued along with the usual sucking up, the ad has been yanked from future publication and hopefully Stella McCartney will sleep soundly tonight knowing that her reputation as a staunch PETA supporter is indeed, intact.

Right on, Stella.  I’m glad she found out and went crazy on Hockleys.  Lesson to be learned - nobody pushes the McCartney clan around and gets away with it!

Stella McCartney says that her late mother, Linda, has been her inspiration in her work and would have been proud of her efforts to promote environmental issues. Stella is launching an eco-organic range of products in her fashion business, and credits her mother with bringing her up with an awareness of all things related to the environment. As we know, Linda and Paul McCartney were staunch vegetarians and Paul, to this day, still shuns leather, fur, or any product made from an animal, and promotes vegetarianism and animal rights at any opportunity.

Stella said:

“I think mum would be really proud of me because I have actually done something in fashion. I’ve added to the McCartney pie. There’s no one else who does what I do and I love that.

“My mother was amazing. So much of what I do and what I stand for comes from her and the way I was brought up. In the fashion world, I’m viewed as this mad hippy because I won’t use leather or fur and I bang on about taking environmental issues seriously and being vegetarian.”

I admire Stella and her commitment to what she believes in. I think she is very much her own person (especially in the often pretentious, cut-throat fashion industry), and I too, believe that Linda would have been extremely proud of her daughter.

Stella McCartney, embarrassed of her Beatle daddy Paul???? Yup, it’s true and I must say ‘What the hell is that girl crazy???” She didn’t want to be seen with him, can you believe that? What is that girl smoking?? Anyway, here is what she has to say on the subject…

“I spent half my life denying that Paul McCartney was my dad,” she told Grazia magazine. “My biggest fear as a kid was being late for school and missing the bus, because it meant dad would take me in his Mercedes. I was mortified each time”

Now I guess it’s the same all over the world. Some kids just don’t want to be seen with their parents, no matter WHO they are! But can you imagine this? Sorry, I’m having a hard time dealing with this one!

Stellllaaaa !!!!!!

As mentioned before, Stella McCartney’s dad Sir Paul McCartney was very busy day on Sunday, June 1, 2008. Stella showed everyone she loves Liverpool too by having a fashion show to show off her autumn/winter ‘08 collection at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). The presentation was held between 1-2pm followed by a reception on June 1, 2008 just before her father, Sir Paul McCartney performed at Anfield Stadium. A spokesperson for the designer said:

“It’s the first time Stella’s shown her collection in England and she did it especially for Liverpool. Paul was performing at Anfield so she just thought it would be the perfect opportunity and to also raise funds for a worthy cause.”

Notable attendees were: Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison, Sir George Martin and his wife Judy, Giles Martin, as well as the members of Paul’s band: Abe Laboriel Jr., Rusty Anderson, Paul “Wix” Wickens. Many Macca family members were present too: Mike McCartney, James McCartney, and Beatrice McCartney.

Little Bea was holding onto balloons while sitting on her daddy’s lap as they watched the show. Too cute!

Palladium, a local band, covered “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana which was requested by Stella McCartney for Dave Grohl, the frontman of the Foo Fighters. Apparently, he was present too!

Stella said:

“It’s great. We just thought it would be really good fun to come and do it and good to work with LIPA. I’m very proud of my family involvement with LIPA.”

The food at the reception was catered, serving none other than Linda McCartney’s famous vegetarian foods. YUM!

It was a wonderful surprise to be able to attend this once in a lifetime event at LIPA with only 299 others.

Sir Paul McCartney will be a very busy boy on Sunday. Aside from playing his concert in Liverpool, he’ll be paying a visit to his daughter Stella’s showing of her latest fashion collection at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. He says he feels it is his “fatherly duty” to be there for Stella, despite the fact that his visit will take place just hours before his own performance.

Joked Paul “What’s a dad to do?”

Stella McCartney will be showcasing her latest fashion collection in the city of Liverpool, it has been reported. The showing will take place the same day her dad, Sir Paul, will be performing his Liverpool Sound gig at Anfield. So it looks as though the famous father and daughter will both be very busy on June 1st. I would imagine that Stella didn’t schedule her event for the same time as her dad’s!

Word has it that Stella McCartney, Sir Paul’s doe eyed fashion designer daughter, is just itching to design Scarlett Johansson’s wedding dress, but Scarlett has no clue. According to STELLLLAAA…

I wonder what Scarlett will think of this…hmmmm. Stella is even thinking of doing something in black for the soon to be bride. Now this, I gotta see.

Today was the funeral of fifth Beatle Neil Aspinall who died 2 weeks ago.

Yoko Ono, Barbara Bach, Stella McCartney, George and Giles Martin, Pete Townshend and Beatles first drummer Pete Best attended the funeral.

Pete Best’s brother, Roag Best, is the son of Neil Aspinall. Since Pete Best was fired from The Beatles, over 40 years ago, he was not in the same room with the fab four. My guess is that the two remaining Beatles, Paul and Ringo, knew that Pete will be there in support of his brother and therefore they did not attend.

Paul did visit Neil, in New York City, few days before he died.

R.I.P Neil Aspinall!
