Rachel Zoe, professional stylist to the stars and reality show anorexic, is closer to her dream weight of zero than ever before. And while we'd love to play paparazzi and tell Zoe (pronounced without the e) to eat a sandwich, for the love of god, it actually seems to be working out for her. Not that she looks good, because she doesn't (she's actually starting to look like what comes after Jack Nicholson in the bathtub in The Shining), but she's a very successful anorexic.
Zoe just get re-upped for a second season of The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo, despite having an Anna Nicole-ish air of human train wreck about her and the fact that her personality leads heer to call things that she likes "bananas." But if she wants to make it to the next season without being fed intravenously, yeah, we'd suggest a bánh mì, stat.
From all reports, bug-eyed Rachel Zoe is not having a good month. Sure, her show just premiered on Bravo, wherein she and her team of "professional stylists" outfit young, rich girls to look like they consist off of Starbucks and cocaine — and she says "bananas" a lot.
But Fashion Week saw some nasty paparazzi astutely/hypocritically heckling the size -4 celbritard for giving young girls body image issues, while Ginia Bellafante used her Times column to call Zoe a "pox on humanity— exploiting an aesthetic of dissipation, invading our collective consciousness and spraying it with dummy dust."
Regardless of your personal feelings towards a woman who recently declared that "she doesn't understand saving for a rainy day," you can't help sympathizing with her current vulnerable position. Which is actually just what that manipulative blond wants: CONTINUED »
Rachel Zoe is that very thin celebrity stylist who transforms her thin clients into boho versions of her younger self, and now she is a celebrity in her own right because people make fun of her, and she has a Bravo reality show , and also she is thin. Okay? Moving along…
So if the paparazzi outside of Calvin Klein's fashion tent had to pick one thing to goad Zoe about, what do you think it would be?

"I know there are times I look really ugly on the show," (Zoe) says. "It's OK. It's OK. It is what it is." Missing her uncle's funeral, she says, was especially difficult: "And it was two days before the Oscars! My life is hard. It's hard. Every day, it's hard."
Oh yeah. Sounds epically tragic, like Grizzly Man except the "bears" are Nicole Richie and Perez Hilton. But tune in tomorrow to see which Bravo exec the celebritard designer lent Botox to to score her own half-hour dedication.
