Fashion Show Fashion week has begun, and ladies aren't the only ones getting presented a new vision for fall: There are a few designers showing for men today. Perry Ellis (designed by John Crocco) pictures Spring 2009 as a parade of plaid shirts, seersucker suits and pink shorts. Would any guys you know dress like this?

The Women Premiere: The Red Carpet May Be Better Than The Movie

For those of us who love George Cukor's original campfest, the remake of The Women is such a total travesty that it goes against the grain to admit that anything about it is less than awful. And yet, honesty compels me to admit that the cast assembled last night — Meg Ryan, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debi Mazar, Eva Mendes et al — looked pretty darn good. It wasn't all roses; the director, for her sins, looked pretty meh, and Tara Reid was there. But you know what? This farce has so little to do with the original, I won't even pay it the compliment of calling it a remake. To keep our sanity, let's just think of this as another crappy ensemble comedy with a surprisingly good red carpet. The Good, the Bad, the Women — after the jump! More »

Lotsa White After Labor Day At The Entourage Premiere

Full Disclosure: I'm not really an Entourage fan; my brother's always watching it and I can't get into it. So I probably wouldn't have gone to the Season 5 premiere at New York's Ziegfeld Theater. (If, you know, I was invited to this stuff.) And so I wouldn't have had to follow the "Black White & Ugly" Dress Code that all guests were apparently forced to adhere to. But by gad, I would have bawled these starlets out for the sheer gall of sporting so much virginal white post-Monday! (And btw, Real Housewives of New York were particular offenders in this regard.) Like, if you want to break the rules, that's one thing, but I had the uncomfortable feeling they didn't even know! And this makes me sad. Black and White and Bad all over, after the jump.

The Trick To World Peace? Give A Star A T-Shirt And A Pen

Mother Theresa could have saved herself so much time if she'd just learned that the trick to saving the world is just to sign up a few celebrities, get them to doodle on an American Apparel tee, and sell the result for charity! Lately, this rather labor unintensive mode of giving back has been running rampant, with celebrities lined up to draw stick figures like five-year-olds at a birthday party waiting to decorate their own cupcakes. Of course, within this spectrum is a wide range of commitment (and skill) levels, ranging from the truly half-assed to the off-puttingly earnest. Which is all very laudable. And then, apparently, people buy them: Bono and, most recently, Elettra Weidemann, have enlisted loads of celebs for their respective tee initiatives and when the one-offs go up for auction, they always bring in the big bucks. After all, who wouldn't want a Billy Baldwin original? Hundreds of seconds of compassion and effort — with accompanying captions, naturally — after the jump. More »

GQ Man Of The Year Awards: Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown!

I love the GQ "Man of the Year" awards cause it's like the "Sexiest Man Alive" but, like, Tony Bennett is in the running. And indeed, there he was (heart, presumably, in San Francisco) last night at British GQ's iteration at London's Royal Opera House, along with Gordon Ramsey, Robert Plant and a bunch of other Brits. And I know it was the gents' night, but man...the distaff side was appalling. I mean, we expect a jolly train wreck from Lily Allen, but Liz Hurley? Thandie Newton? Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy night. After the jump!

Barbie World: Venice Film Festival Has The Best Doll Wardrobe Ever

No, seriously: as I was scrolling through last night's images from the Jaeger Dinner at the Venice Film Festival, I was distinctly reminded of going to FAO Schwartz as a little girl and gazing longingly at the fancy Barbies behind glass, for all the world like Sara Crewe looking into the window of the bake shop in A Little Princess and staring hungrily at the hot buns...and not just because Diane "Helen of Troy" Krueger looks so Mattel-like either! There's a kind of pulled-together perfection to a lot of these looks that is somewhat unsettling...but still awesome. The Good, The Less Good, The Ugly - after the jump!

30 Days Of Fashion: Tragically Tasteful!

So currently there's something going on in Sydney called "30 Days of Fashion" and, for some reason the Aussies imported Eva Mendes to host it. Anyway, l night was the official launch party for ACP Magazine's "30 Days of Fashion & Beauty" at Sydney's Intercontinental Hotel. I'm not gonna lie, kids: I've kinda been spoiling for some really ludicrous fashion to tear into. But justice prevails and I must admit that people looked pretty damn tasteful. No uglies! And plenty of gorge. Thank goodness, because next week — NY Fashion Week! — will bring us a liberal infusion of Andre Leon Tally. The Good, and the Still Pretty Good...after the jump.

Death In Venice (Actually, Cleavage And Glitz)

So, the Venice Film Festival kicked off yesterday with the Burn After Reading premiere. And as you might hope, it was gloriously, dizzily Italian: dramatic and glitzy and elegant all at once — well, with a few notable exceptions. (Melted trash bag, I'm looking at you!) The Good, The Bad, The Italian, The Ugly...after the jump.

Shoes Gone Wild At Berlin's First Step Awards!

What, you ask, are the First Step Awards, celebrated last night in Berlin? Well, I tried to find out for you. And unfortunately this was the cryptic translation I received: "FIRST STEPS is more than a price: FIRST STEPS it all." Um , okay. "The young German price FIRST STEPS, 2000 as a private initiative of the film industry and the economy launched, is borne by the common desire, the film junior useful and effective." Then there's a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote. Basically it's an award for young filmmakers. (I think.) And, for our nefarious purposes, it's a chance to see some really bad dress-shoe combos. So come with me, if you will, to Deutschland! Goods and Bads, after the jump...

One, Love: Fashions Score At The US Open Gala

So, the U.S. Open's on. And last night Vogue's Anna Wintour, tennis star Maria Sharapova, actor Forest Whitaker, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, mogul Martha Stewart and others gathered for the 8th Annual USTA Serves' OPENing Gala at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Don't ask me what they did; what do they ever do at their endless parade of galas? But they looked pretty damn classy doing it. The Good, The Bad, and The Martha — after the jump!

Gossip Girl Party Was A Guilty Pleasure

Last night, the cast of Gossip Girl kicked off the show's second season with a fete at chi-chi emporium Henri Bendel (with YSL Beaute) on Fifth Avenue. And look how much fun they had! Although Blake was MIA (boo!) as was Penn (double boo!), Leighton, Taylor, Jessica and Kelly did everyone's favorite guilty pleasure proud. The Good, The Bad, and The Anna Sui — after the jump!

The Imagen Awards Styles Were All About Many-Layered Splendor

The Imagen Foundation, "honoring significant contributions of Latinos in the industry" held its 23rd annual awards ceremony last night in Beverly Hills. None of which explains why there were, like, 500 pictures of Selena Gomez, or why there were so many, many layered gowns on parade. The lace, the feathers, the sequins — after the jump! More »

The Moment You've Been Waiting For: The House Bunny Premiere

They've tantalized us for weeks with their cliched premise and hackneyed dialogue, with their snippets of the Bunny's sexpot idiot-savant sagacity and hints at the sorority girls' ultimate triumph over vague adversities. And here it is: the movie you may have thought had already come and gone, Legally Blonde lite — The House Bunny! This comedic masterpiece premiered last night at Mann Village Theatre in in Westwood, California. Rumer and 'rents, Malin Akerman, playmates, and various starlets bibbed and tuckered up with predictably Good, Bad and Ugly results. A red carpet worthy of its subject - after the jump! More »

Fierce Creatures: Drag Industry Variety Awards Bring It

Welcome to the Drag Industry Variety Awards 2008 (that's right, the DIVAs) at Sydney's Paddington Town Hall. Othelia Sharft, Fagget Roaster, Freeda Corset, Prada Tlutch and a cast of thousands channeled all the arts of man and nature in their quest for drag fabulosity. The results? Magic. The Sublime, the Ridiculous, the Gravity-Defying - after the jump! More »

The House Bunny: Ridiculous Flick, Surprisingly Tasteful Red Carpet

It seems somehow tragically appropriate that CosmoGirl should have something to do with last night's screening of The House Bunny at New York's Joseph Urban Theatre. It is, after all, the stirring tale of a Playmate becoming house mother to a group of college-age frumps and bringing out their inner fun, fearless females by means of various image-based degradations. Which made it all the more pleasantly surprising, then, that the looks on display were pretty...well...unobjectionable. No skin-tight satin, no pants-forgetting, just Rumer Willis and a few other starlets in varying degrees of okay! After the jump. More »

The Alma Awards: Very Good, Pretty Bad, Really Ugly

Happy Monday, friends, and welcome to last night's Alma Awards, the "Latino Entertainment Honors," at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. What a red carpet! A time warpy Paula Abdul (left), a freakishly fit Jessica Alba, a helmet-haired Eva Longoria-Parker and hundreds more brought us one of the widest good-bad spectrums we've seen in a long time, with "Grecian Sacrifice" and "Poured-on Satin" warring for evening's top trend.
