Stella McCartney Receives The OBE From The Queen Of England!

Stella McCartney receives an OBE from Queen Elizabeth

MASSIVE congratulations are in order for Stella McCartney, who just received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday.

What an honor!

The designer attended the Investiture Ceremony at Buckingham Palace with husband Alasdhair Willis and looked phenomenal in a navy skirt suit of her own design and cobalt blue pumps.

Kind of similar to Kate Winslet's Queen-meeting outfit from last year!

An embellished and veiled headpiece gave her the most regal air, and we're sure the Queen appreciated it!

Congrats, Stella! You SO deserve it!

Stella McCartney Receives Top Honor From The Queen!

2012 was quite a year for Stella McCartney.

The designer saw her clothes being worn by big-name actresses and models all over the world, won the Designer Brand and Designer of the Year Award at the British Fashion Awards, and got the venerable honor of designing the uniforms for Team GB at last summer's Olympic Games.

Nice!

Now, Paul McCartney's talented daughter was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for her services to Britain as a fashion designer.

Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen was the latest designer to receive the honor, so Stella's in really good company!

We are so proud of Stella. She's truly come a long way since her days at Chloé. And we bet the best is yet to come!

In fact, we have a feeling she's now officially in the running to dress Kate Middleton's baby bump!

Congrats!

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
