Private Funeral Arranged For Oscar De La Renta

The world lost a fashion icon this week when Oscar de la Renta passed away at 82 after a long battle against cancer.

On Friday, it was announced that a private funeral service will be hosted in New York on Nov. 3 to honor the designer's life. The service is taking place at the same chapel where the family of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis held her funeral.
Close family and friends will have an opportunity to pay homage to de la Renta at a private mass at Church of St Ignatius Loyola at Park Avenue and 84th Street, according to WWD.
The legendary designer passed away on Monday evening at his home in Kent, Conn., surrounded by his family and "more than a few dogs," according to The Telegraph.
De la Renta was renowned for his charm, standing in the same social circle as many royals, celebrities, socials and more. He was a longtime friend of Anna Wintour and Diane von Furstenberg. Both are expected to attend the service.

"He died exactly as he lived: with tremendous grace, great dignity and very much on his own terms," said a handwritten statement released by his family.
"While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. Oscar's hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our company."
De la Renta began his career in fashion by sketching for Cristobal Balenciaga, then moved to Paris where he was offered a job at Christian Dior, but ended up working as an assistant for Lanvin's designer Antonio del Castillo, according to the New York Times. His career was launched in the 1960s after he started working at Elizabeth Arden back in the US. In 1965, he started his namesake line.
The designer dressed many celebrities for the red carpet, including Amy Adams, Penélope Cruz, Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, Jessica Chastain, Tina Fey, Oprah Winfrey, Zooey Deschanel and Anne Hathaway.

Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz: Dating!

Prepare to feel old: Hit Girl from Kick-Ass and Posh Spice's son are all grown up. Okay, so they're in their teens, but still - reports that Chloe Grace Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham are dating made us want to crank up the Matlock and kick some kids off our lawns. Chloe is 17 and Brooklyn (the younger man) is 15, but not only are these two reportedly a full-blown couple, they're so LA that they make Kim Kardashian look like some rube from Anaheim. Chloe and Brooklyn met at a SoulCycle class and she's invited him as her date to the premiere of her new movie, If I Stay . We're sure they're sipping macchiattos and reading Variety together as we speak. No word on how Brooklyn's A-list parents feel about the relationship, but we'd imagine it was a little awkward for Chloe to meet the folks, considering that - like the rest of the world - she's probably seen David Beckham in his underwear. Thought it's still early in their re

Is Jennette McCurdy on her way to becoming the next most controversial teen celeb?

Jennette McCurdy knows what her assets are and she is not afraid of showing them off. The Sam & Cat actress has posted a half-naked photo of herself on social media, but this time, her risqué photos making it to the public sphere was her choice. McCurdy is a talented actress and obviously so much more than just her physical appearance, but she seems to understand not all of her fans are the Nickelodeon crowd. So are the photos going too far, especially for an actress with a young fan base? Miley Cyrus has gone through the same thing. As an actress who got her start on Disney, her overtly-sexual attitude has worried some parents — as well as fellow role models. McCurdy took to Reddit on Thursday, posting a blog called "I am not a role model." "With the growing I've done, I realize that to attempt to live up to the idea of being a role model is to set myself up for foregone failure," she wrote. "Sure, I've made some mistakes,
