Shera and makeup artist, Lina Chiriac were both spotted wearing the same BCBG dress.
Shera first wore the dress on February 10, while at the MusiCares “Person of the Year” Awards, which she attended with Hugh Hefner. She chose the green version of the dress and decided to pair it with strappy black heels. Linda decided on the nude version of the dress and paired it with black round toe pumps.
In your opinion, who wore it better?
After news broke about Claire being a victim of domestic violence by boyfriend, Marson Hefner, she has decided to disassociate herself from the Playboy brand until the outcome of the case is resolved. That means no more Playboy related appearances events or photoshoots from Claire for the time being.
Marston was arrested over a week ago, on February 12, when cops were called to the home she shared with Marston after her family members called 911 claiming he attacked her. When cops arrived they observed bruises and red marks on Claire’s body. The next day, Claire obtained an emergency restraining order so that she could move her things from their home.
She has also admitted to TMZ that that was not the first time he abused her but that she is willing to forgive him.
“I don’t condone domestic violence, but if one ounce of good can come from this bad experience, then I can live with it and move on. That is why I will not press charges against Marston Hefner if he keeps his word to give a public apology for physically abusing me on several occasions, and seeks psychiatric help for his anger issues.”
Even though she has spoken about what has been going on, she does not want to accept any money from this case.
Despite the situation, though, Claire seems to be in good spirits.
Since Claire is the 2011 Playmate of the Year, she is expected to be at the Playmate of the Year Announcement in May so lets hope that this situation is resolved by then.
Hope has been a runway model, a Playboy Playmate and a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice, where she won $40,000 for her favorite charity, Best Buddies. The nonprofit organization promotes a volunteer movement that creates one-to-one friendships, employment and leadership opportunities for people with intellectual and development disabilities.
ABILITY’s Chet Cooper recently caught up with Dworacyzk in Los Angeles.
Cooper: How did you learn out about Best Buddies?
Dworacyzk: From Maria Shriver who invited me to a lot of their fund-raising bike rides. She and I first met at an event at Hearst castle (in San Simeon, CA) and then, about three years ago, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots led one of the rides. It was 100 miles, and went from Boston to the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, MA. I took part in it, and had a really great time that weekend hanging out with a lot of different kids, and people my age, too.
Cooper: Older kids?
Dworacyzk: Yes, and I asked if I could have a buddy.
Cooper: Did a lot of people raise their hands?
Dworacyzk: (laughs) When I got back to Los Angeles, I called the local Best Buddies. I was matched with a young woman named Caroline, and we became friends. She’s now 25, and we go to trendy restaurants, get our nails done and go to the spa.
I like that Best Buddies is about creating one-on-one friendships between two people. They help participants with their education, so they can find work. With education and jobs, many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live independently. It’s a beautiful program. Caroline has a job assembling handcuffs.
Cooper: I think Special Olympics has a “How to Get Out of Handcuffs” event.
Dworacyzk: (laughs) When I learned what Caroline does, I found it really amusing. I said, “Are you kidding me?” At one time she packaged candy corn. What she does changes a lot, but right now she makes handcuffs. I should ask for some. (laughs)
Cooper: Let’s talk about your handcuff fetish.
Dworacyzk: (laughs) I was just kidding.
Cooper: Aside from Best Buddies, are there any other nonprofits that you’ve worked with?
Dworacyzk: Not to this degree. I’ve taken part in different activities, like walks for breast cancer research. But, as you know, Best Buddies is the charity I raised money for when I was on Celebrity Apprentice, and after I won the $40,000, I got to present the check to Caroline. But I had to tell her, “This is not for you.” (laughter) I had to make sure I said that when I showed it to her, because I surprised her with it. Luckily she understood.
Cooper: Tell me more about your experience on Celebrity Apprentice.
Dworacyzk: The hours were crazy. I would leave my suite at 4 in the morning to go to hair and makeup to start my day, and I wouldn’t get back until 11:30 at night. So I had only four-and-a-half hours to wind down, sleep and be ready for the next day.
Cooper: How long were you on that schedule?
Dworacyzk: Seven days the first week, and then after that six days a week. I lasted until the ninth episode.
Cooper: How many episodes are in a full season?
Dworacyzk: Thirteen.
Cooper: So Donald Trump didn’t fire you until almost the end. How did you win the money for Best Buddies?
Dworacyzk: You win money when you’re project manager and your team wins a business task. There are also other times throughout the show when you have an opportunity to win money.
I was project manager of an Omaha Steaks task. Because I don’t eat steak, Donald Trump asked me on-camera, “Are you excited about your task?” I said, “Yeah, but I know nothing about it.” Fortunately, we ended up winning anyway.
Cooper: Was this the season with Meatloaf?
Dworacyzk: Yes.
Cooper: Wasn’t it controversial because Meatloaf got upset about something?
Dworacyzk: He’s very emotional, and he and Gary Busey were really going at each other. I forget which charity Meatloaf played for, but it was a good one.
Cooper: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals?
Dworacyzk: (laughs) No, I believe it was The Painted Turtle; they have a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses.
Cooper: Do you think the battle between Meatloaf and Gary was real?
Dworacyzk: It was. When you put all these different personalities together, and so many of them have huge egos, it can get really heated. Like, I ordered my food before she ordered hers, how did she get hers first? But there were other people, like [former model] Niki Taylor, for instance, who were great. She played for the American Red Cross.
Cooper: We were supposed to interview Gary Busey. I briefly spoke to him about his motorcycle accident, and his views on whether to wear a helmet or not. Did he ever talk about that?
Dworacyzk: Only every day. (laughs) He would tell anybody who walked in the building, “See, I was in this motorcycle crash…”
He has no sense of personal space. He would be talking and get so close that our noses would touch. I had to say, “Gary, you’ve got to back up.”
Cooper: So if you don’t eat Omaha Steak, does that mean you’re a vegetarian?
Dworacyzk: I eat fish, but not red meat.
Cooper: Do you work out?
Dworacyzk: Every day; I do Pilates.
Cooper: Do you travel much?
Dworacyzk: It depends on what I’m doing. If I’m working in New York, I may stay there for two weeks, or I’ll go back and forth.
Cooper: How often do you and Caroline get together?
Dworacyzk: I see her one day a month.
Cooper: Who calls whom?
Dworacyzk: She can call me any time, but normally I’ll call her and see what her schedule’s like, and if I can see her the following week.
Cooper: Do you guys email?
Dworacyzk: I call. She texts. No emails.
Cooper: Did you come up with the one-day-a-month schedule?
Dworacyzk: No, we just get together whenever we can. It depends on when I’m in town, and when she’s not working. It might be twice one month, and then the next month I might not see her, and then the following month I might see her three times. It just depends on what’s going on. She has a boyfriend now, so she spends time with him, as well.

Here we have two different women wearing two different versions of the same Stop Staring knee length, leopard print dress.
Bridget wore a cap sleeved version when she attended Style Fashion Week back in October. She paired it with black open toed heels. Kristen wore a version with spaghetti straps, which she accessorized with a pair of low round toe heels and a black skinny belt.
The question is: which version do you like better?

Is another Baskett making his way to ABC’s Dancing with the Stars? If Hank had it his way he would be! Season 14′s cast will be announced on February 28 and most of the cast is still up in the air. Hank has announced that he would love to follow in his wife’s footsteps.
“Oh, I would love to do it. Definitely for the bragging rights of the household. So if they gave [me] the opportunity, I definitely think it would be amazing. And the football players have quite a good history on there so I think the stars might align for me if I get the chance to go on there. What’s funny is we had actually planned on taking dancing lessons and then DWTS came up and she became a pro and I’m like, ‘Man, now I’ve got to play catch up.’”
