The rumors have finally been confirmed: actress Megan Fox is the star of the upcoming Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans campaigns.

Rumors began swirling that Fox would replace current spokesmodel Victoria Beckham in the Emporio Armani campaign after the 23-year-old actress made a surprise appearance at the Giorgio Armani Privé show in July. Fox, the star of the “Transformers” franchise, is considered to be the Hollywood sex symbol and a favorite cover girl of men’s magazines in both the U.S. and Europe.

According to WWD, Fox was shot by famed duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott this past weekend. The new Armani images featuring Fox will start running worldwide in January. None of the images have leaked as of yet, but we can expect to see them in print ads and billboards in the near future.

Expect teenaged boys to start buying copies of Vogue for those ads…

Victoria Beckham arrived for her very first day on American Idol this weekend. The star showed up to help judge auditions in Denver Friday and smiled and shook hands with fans on the way in.

The Daily News reported that the former Spice Girl, who’s getting a reported $219,000 for appearing in one episode, said that she’s looking forward to a “bit of banter” with Simon Cowell, since he’s the “only man in the industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said that they would never work.”

Seems like Victoria plans to fill Paula Abdul’s shoes as the sweet judge. She said of the former Idol judge, “I hope she does something that’s bigger and better, and I hope she’s going to be happy. She’s great so she’s going to be good at whatever she does.”

Looks like she’s already making up for her hubby’s recent streak of bad publicity.

Defying all odds, Mischa Barton who has been released from psychiatric ward has been hard at work on the set of her new show, The Beautiful Life, despite her breakdown just weeks ago.

The 23-year-old actress was spotted on location at New York City Hall today, looking healthy and vibrant in a fabulous metallic Versace Spring 2009 minidress and a pair of studded, buckled boots.

Hopefully the work will keep Mischa focused on her career and her health. It definitely doesn’t help that her supposed “friends” have been claiming to outlets who will listen that the actress is “on the verge of another breakdown.”

Meanwhile, family friend Eric Ziegenbein told Heat Magazine that the actress was already back to her partying ways.

Will Lady Gaga be the next celebrity to strip down for PETA? According to Page Six, the pop star caught the eye of the animal rights organization when she wore an entire outfit made of Kermit the Frogs, explaining to Ryan Seacrest:

“I really loved this one . . . because I thought it was a commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.”

A PETA representative already reached out and is waiting for an answer. If she decides to do it, she’ll join the range of stars like Pamela Anderson, Eva Mendes, Pink and Chloe Kardashian who have bared all for the animals, of course.

In reality, her birthday suit may be the least bizarre ensemble we’ve seen Lady Gaga decked out in.

The reality star known for her deep brunette locks went blonde over the weekend and showed off lighter locks as she walked the red carpet at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards held at Gibson Amphitheatre on August 9, 2009 in Universal City, California.

Last week, Allure magazine introduced a new word into the lexicon: the break-over. Apparently this term describes the new look a woman sports shortly after a breakup. Perhaps it was Kim Kardashian’s recent breakup with NFL star Reggie Bush that inspired her to dye her hair a soft, slightly-brassy blonde. Kim, who wore a blonde wig for a recent photoshoot, took to her blog to write about the new do:

“This time it’s for real, guys! I went blonde!!! I had been considering it ever since I wore that blonde wig, and I just decided to go for it!! What do you think? I am really loving it! My hairstylist Clyde Haygood orchestrated the whole thing and Rebecca from Goodform salon dyed it!”

No one has perfected better the sultry brunette image than Kim, obviously she still looks gorgeous, but if you think about it she completely looses her personality with the new hair color. She will eventually return to her roots..

Megan Fox is pulling out all her sexiest looks for the Transformers 2 promotional tour. She attended the Berlin premiere in a sexy red Roberto Cavalli dress that plunged to there, was slit up to here, and featured an ample showing of waist, too.

Back in February, Transformers star Megan Fox broke off her engagement to longtime boyfriend Brian Austin Green, much to the delight of fans everywhere. Their joy, however, was short-lived, as it seemed that Fox and Green couldn’t really quit each other.When asked about her love life at a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press conference in Berlin, she said, “I’m currently what you would call single, I guess.”

She joked that she’d like to move on to a Korean pop star, saying, “There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain and I’m really on his situation now. I’m trying to fix this up. I’m working hard.”

David Beckham showed his prowess on the football field at Wembley on Wednesday, June 10, 2009. But today it was his pant prowess that was being scrutinized! David Beckham fans took over one of Britain’s busiest streets as the footballer unveiled the latest image for his Armani underwear campaign of himself wearing only underpants.

The event marked the launch of Emporio Armani’s new underwear campaign, which stars the footballer and a poster in which he is pictured clutching a rope as he models the snug-fitting pants was unveiled outside Selfridges in London’s Oxford Street. In his campest photoshoot yet, the 34-year-old LA Galaxy and Milan star poses stripped to black pants, with a rope coiled around his waist. His hair is slicked down and side-parted.

Beckham, more fully dressed in a navy single-breasted Armani suit and accompanied by presenter Gaby Logan, seemed bemused by the attention and screams from fans and from hundreds of onlookers as the poster was revealed at the store. The crowd, many of whom had been there since 9am, jostled for space on the pavement, already crowded because of the tube strike. As the first billboard of Beckham to appear in London was unveiled, the crowd cheered and wolf-whistled their approval. One girl was sick with excitement over the barricade. His wife, Victoria Beckham, was inside the store, in personal shopping.

Beckham, was asked if he enjoyed the experience and said he did not mind the photos being taken, but added: “When they’re unveiled it’s a little embarrassing.” He said he did not go on special diets for the pictures to be taken but “obviously I work out before these shoots”. Beckham added: “I’m very proud to be here today.”

Giorgio Armani said, “David has a great sense of style and is an inspiring role model – this is what makes him the perfect partner for Emporio Armani underwear. I am very excited that David Beckham’s new campaign image was unveiled exclusively in his home country and where better than at such an iconic retail destination as Selfridges.”

The image was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott renowned fashion photographers who are also responsible for the images of Victoria Beckham for Armani.

The company has seen a 150% rise in the sale of their pants – as seen on Beckham – since the three-year deal, rumoured to be worth £10m launched in 2007.

Bridal wear genius Vera Wang has signed on to compete in the next season of Dancing With the Stars, E! News reports. As one of the world’s most influential people in fashion, Wang is a far cry from the occasionally down-and-out celebs and reality TV stars who normally participate in the show, but she has the chops to win. Vera trained as a pro figure skater when she was younger, so there’s a decent probability she’ll follow in the footsteps of DWTS’s season six champion, Kristi Yamaguchi.

It’s hard to believe that Wang will be 60 years old by the time the new season kicks off this fall. She’s designed skating costumes for Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan in the past, so maybe this means we’ll be seeing Vera get down in some original designs. Dancing With the Stars is getting more fashionable for sure!

Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams has just released a new album, The Real Thing, which must be why the singer seems committed to keeping it real in promotional interviews. When asked by Essence about her beauty and skincare regimen, Williams was strikingly honest; “Twice a year I receive BOTOX injections from a doctor whom I trust very much. I also have some favorite beauty products that I use on a daily basis – Perfekt’s Skin perfection Gel and Mila Moursi’s moisturizing oil.”

But Williams has been candid about her love of Botox before. She once said, “I did after I turned 40. But I told the doctor, ‘My face has got to move. I am not looking for perfection, I am looking for refreshment.’”

Plenty of other celebrities have been open about their use of Botox, including Jenny McCarthy, Jennie Garth, Linda Evangelista, David Hasselhoff, Janice Dickinson, and Lori Laughlin.

The 2009 Cannes Film Festival was a success in more ways than one, and what everyone wore was just as important as the films presented. While some actresses didn’t quite make the grade here, those who did, received more than just passing marks. The ones who dressed well knows what does look good on them.

While finding the perfect shoe to complete your outfit can make you walk the streets as if it were your own runway. With so many styles to choose from, one can see why it’s so hard to find the perfect shoe. For many years, the fashion industry has impressed us with it’s designs, colors, and styles it constantly brings us. Many of the shoe styles have been around for eras because of how classic the shoe remains. We all want to wear the newest shoe design, but does the shoe really fit our styles?

The most important part of shoe is not it’s color or design, it’s how comfortable the shoe is. If your shoe is to tight, you won’t be able to walk by and strut your stuff. Just like if your shoe is too big, people will be able to tell that your shoes are the worse part of your outfit. Yes, the comfort is a big part of picking the perfect shoe. Because if you found the perfect shoe that’s too tight or too loose, then your face will express the discomfort your feeling. Learn to be your own critic and decide for yourself if it’s worth buying this uncomfortable shoe.

Here are some pictures to get inspired by shoes worn by the celebrities to this year’s Cannes Film Festival:-
