I called Lady Burd today from Mexico and they said they can have anything shipped within 7 days, so Gretchen was definitely scamming people. ~Nik Richie

There you have it! For all of those waiting for Gretchen Christine Beaute to resume taking orders, I wouldn’t hold my breath. As I posted here a few days ago, the exact product (minus her label) is available at Lady Burd. Seriously, this probably isn’t the best way to build empires. Maybe Slade is consulting her brand, that’s what he does you know. He takes brands and really turns them into bigger brands…he’s so good at it. They work so well together, no? That’s the beaute of  their relationship.

Hopefully the “website enhancements” are complete before her 3-month-supply-that-sold-out-in-3-weeks has been restocked…just saying.

“Gretchen Christine Beaute is in the process of adding some additional website enhancements, please be patient with us while we make these improvements. Thank you so much for your interest in Gretchen Christine Beaute and please check back with us soon.”

Warmest Regards,

Slade Smiley Beaute?
Are Things Getting Ugly At Gretchen Christine Beaute?

My guess is the “insider” is spot on,
…can’t really say I’m too surprised!

“On another note Gretchen Rossi’s make up line is no longer taking orders.  My insider that is in her camp told me they are making up a story (lie) that all their products are sold out, but the real issue is supposedly suppliers are not happy that funds are going through Slade Slimey’s paypal account.  Who really cares?  They are both con artists.” -Nik Richie, The Dirty

I came across this while reading Starcasm last night,
(on Gretchen’s makeup)

‘Hopefully this is her own product she’s layering on her face, otherwise everything in life may be a sham.’

The bad news is, I think somebody’s going to be disappointed. The good news is, although it appears Gretchen Rossi Beaute has suddenly sold out of everything, you can purchase the same items from Lady Burd.

Can I ask one more question while I’m at it? When I wrote this post back in January, I wanted to include a link to the Jeff Beitzel Foundation that Gretchen had started in honor of Jeff’s. Not only could I not find a website for it, I couldn’t find anything other than her stating a portion of the proceeds for her song would go to it.

“I then decided to take my song and use it as way to help save someone else’s life. I felt so hopeless when Jeff was sick and then when he passed away. The way I built back hope in my life was by helping others. Download the song on iTunes, and proceeds will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Jeff Beitzel Foundation I started in Jeff’s honor. Thank you all for your support of this cause.”

If this foundation does not exist, where are those ‘proceeds’ going? I really hope I have just overlooked something. Really.

One last thing, what happened to The Gretchen Project and who will empower all the women now?

I wonder if her next song will be The Bobby Fuller Four’s classic,
I Fought The Law And The Law Won …just sayin’

Gretchen Rossi was served with legal papers in the middle of a fashion show, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Gretchen’s ex lover Jay Photoglou had the Real Housewives of Orange County star served at The Grove in Los Angeles just days ago. He had been trying to serve her for days before that, but was unsuccessful as Gretchen proved elusive!

“She wasn’t easy to serve, but she’s been served,” Jay told RadarOnline.com. “I’m looking forward to going to court.”

I saw this posted on another site, they had found it on Gretchen’s facebook fan page. It doesn’t surprise me at all, it’s so typical yet so telling.

Gretchen recently boasted to the L.A. Times about her partner, in crime, Slade Smiley’s business.

“He owns a consulting business. And he basically consults brands. He takes brands and really turns them into bigger brands. He’s been able to bring a lot of opportunities to me. He works with a lot of big companies. He’s so good at it. He is helping me out a lot with the empire I’m trying to build.”

As much detail as she goes into with the reporter, when Vicki asks if Slade worked or brought in money, Gretchen seemed to struggle with an answer before nodding her head yes. It’s really not that hard of a question Sunshine? At least she wasn’t asking you to define KARMA!!

Two weeks after a letter from the Department of Child Support Services surfaced stating Slade was $80,000.00 behind in child support, he filed a request in L.A. County Superior Court asking the judge to lower the bill because he says he’s unemployed and makes $0. To date, he owes $84,963.00

Then there’s Gretchen, who has yet to satisfy the $19,000.00 judgment awarded to Jay Photoglou. She is scheduled to appear for a the debtor is ordered to appear in Court
to answer the judgment creditor’s questions
about the existence and location of their salary,
bank accounts, property, and anything else
that could be used to pay the judgment… judgment debtor’s examination April 22nd.

Is Slade receiving payment on behalf of Gretchen Christine Beaute so Gretchen doesn’t have to disclose it? Wouldn’t he then have to claim that as income?? I guess as long as no one finds out, he might be able to get away with it. Or not…

We posted last week that Gretchen’s court date had been changed to April 22nd. It appears the location has been changed as well…

I don’t have any idea why the change was made, or even if it’s unusual to do so. (I’ve never had to pay attorney fees…for a case that was dismissed with prejudice…because I made every……) It is interesting though!

I hope everyone had a great week-end! I got to spend time with some friends I hadn’t seen in a long time…I had no idea they were even coming. Don’t you just love surprises??
