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…

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!

Fergie shines while she promotes her new album with the Black Eyed Peas, making an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Fergie and crew arrived semi-casual for the event, although their threads definitely attracted stares all on their own! Fergie changed into uber-glam for the main event, donning a green, sparkly Emilio Pucci dress for her time on camera. The dress featured panel cut-outs to show off Fergie’s insanely fit body. Fergie wore the revealing dress with a great pair of strappy metallic sandals.

Wondering what vintage aviators are? The name is self explanatory. These shades were originally used by aviators when they are on duty. Typical of their job, these shades are hardy and designed to keep strong currents and wind out of the wearer’s eyes. The aviator sunglasses are dark colored to give the wearer ample protection from glaring light. Originally, these sunglasses were available with military gear only. These days, of course, aviator sunglasses have become a widely popular fashion statement.

Vintage aviator sunglasses were first made by Ray-Ban in 1932 for pilots. So, don’t be surprised by the typical ‘Ray-Ban’ look of these sunglasses. Their drooping teardrop shape is unique to vintage aviator sunglasses. Indeed, vintage aviator sunglasses have become an iconic fixture of eye wear not only for decades but even for a century!

Vintage aviators were very popular in the 70’s and 80’s and they are back in a big way. Your fashion statement is reflective of your own personality, your whims, your caprices and even your aspirations. Utilizing vintage aviator sunglasses to show off your own style simply indicates the boldness of your perception when it comes to fashion as you choose the undying style of sunglasses that have been a fashion fixture for several decades now and seem to be growing in fashion stature as years and styles go by.

You can make your presence felt with any of the brightly colored summer frames that vintage aviator sunglasses come in, starting from blue, yellow and shallow red to full metallic jacket frames or mirrored glasses.

Thus, making your own fashion statement using vintage aviator sunglasses is a truly imaginative way of showing the world your true colors and personality with a touch of history to boot. For men, donning dark brown colored leather jackets with loose khaki slacks would be a great way to show off with your vintage aviator sunglasses. For women, a trimly tailored trench coat to show off their hidden curves plus scarves around their necks will do well with any color of vintage aviator sunglasses. These kinds of fashion statements will surely draw the attention of men and women on the sidewalks and cafes you pass by.

Vintage aviator sunglasses are not your regular sunglasses and not everyone can carry them off with style. You need the right shade, the perfect clothing and the right accessories if you want to look dashing in them.

Rihanna has been everywhere since her red carpet return! On Thursday, May 7, 2009, the singer attended DKMS’ 3rd Annual Star-Studded Gala which took place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City wearing head to toe Louis Vuitton. Nearly everything about this look, from the poofy-sleeved metallic top to the lace-up boots, is completely fashion-forward. From the way she’s been dressing, it’s as if she is been saving up an arsenal of hardcore fashion for her return to the spotlight.

Jennifer Garner made her first red carpet appearance since the birth of her second daughter, Seraphina Rose, in January. She was there to support Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a new romantic comedy in which she stars opposite Matthew McConaughey.

Jennifer looked lovely in a black, floor-length Rachel Roy dress. She took a cue from the Angelina Jolie school of glamour, jazzing up the black with a brilliant green pendant necklace. Model Camilla Alves, otherwise known as Matthew McConaughey’s lady, chose a provocative, sparkling nude dress with a plunge that would have made Jennifer Lopez jealous. This is quite a dress, and she pulls it off without looking like she belongs in adult films.

The Daniel Swarovski collection – the high end couture collection of Swarovski accessories generally found adorning celebrities on the red carpet, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and with that come 20 new bag designs and 20 new pieces of jewelry to commemorate the brand’s history.

Rather than reviving accessories from the archives, Swarovski artistic director Nathalie Colin chose to highlight how far their crystal technology has come with innovative applications of the famed crystals, from crystals applied to precious stones and pearls to exotic skins. The processes add up to spectacular-looking pieces with blinding luminosity. Bling is definitely not out it’s just made out of crystals now, instead of diamonds.

This season, 1920’s art deco design inspired the look and feel of the pieces, from the vintage-looking styles of the delicate evening bags to the deco patterns used for the crystal settings. And in a nod to the changing demands of red carpet walking clients, the bags are now slightly larger to accommodate their number one purse accessory: the Blackberry.

Also new for Swarovski this year is an expanded watch collection, with high quality Swiss-made timepieces at the core of the new designs. For women, styles range from a crystal cuff, the “D:Light,” with a time display made up of crystals that light up only when a button is pressed ($1,500-$1,7000), to edgier styles like a wrap-around leather band ($575) or classic timepieces with a metal watchband and subtle crystal bezel ($650-$750).

Swarovski’s signature jewelry collection for autumn/winter 2009/10, “Nature Reloaded,” follows the nature-oriented theme started for spring with “Super Nature.” For this collection, Swarovski took a trip to an enchanted forest with wooden pendants embedded with crystals, to mushroom-shaped charms to smoky hues of plum, forest green and black crystal. Other key looks include serpent bangles and necklaces and Swarovski’s unofficial mascot characters, Erika and Elvis, re-imagined as a butterfly and a bumblebee, respectively.

Rapper Lil’ Kim and her partner Derek Hough may have been the top scorers on Monday night’s Dancing with the Stars — earning two 10s with their fiery jive set to Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” — but their onstage success was nearly upstaged by a potential wardrobe malfunction! Host Tom Bergeron provided cover while the rapper adjusted as she and Hough approached the judges table.

Lil’ Kim told KABC-TV after the show: “I don’t know why this happens a lot of the time, but … the girls were tryin’ to come out.”

The nearly X-rated moment was edited out by the time the show was rebroadcast on the West Coast, but it didn’t seem to bother the judges: Lil’ Kim and Hough posted a night’s best 28 out of a possible 30 for their spirited dance.

Last week Tori Spelling’s mother came out with her book and this week Tori came out with hers:  ‘Mommywood’.   The two have been talking through the press a lot lately without direct communication with one another.  That has got to be strange, right?  Candy Spelling took to her website to plead with her daughter to talk with her.

Dean McDermott and children Liam Aaron, 2 and Stella Doreen, 10 months as well as friends Kim Kardashian, Jennie Garth, Bobby Trendy, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamelin, help mom Tori Spelling celebrate the launch of her latest book, Mommywood, at Bond St. at the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

But Tori has been getting more press about her weight than her new book for a good reason! The former 90210 actress has been looking rail-thin in recent months, with her arms and legs causing plenty of speculation about an eating disorder. She gave birth to her daughter Stella 10 months ago.

But Tori says she’s completely healthy. She told People Magazine that she has definitely felt pressure to be thin in Hollywood and she’s “not anorexic.”:

“I acknowledge that I look thin in photos. I get it,” she says about the 40 lbs. she’s lost since delivering Stella last June. “Obviously I don’t want to lose any more weight, but people haven’t seen me not pregnant in two and a half years. I’m eating healthy, I just have a crazy lifestyle. I’m the first to admit that sometimes I don’t have the time to sit down for a well-balanced meal. Usually you kind of just finish whatever your child doesn’t eat. I’m like, ‘Cool, you have a few pieces of hot dog left and one broccoli floret and a fry, I’ll take it.’”

“I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter,” Tori continues. “The last thing I want to put out there is that it’s acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you’re in Hollywood. I have two kids that I need to be healthy for because they need their mom.”

While Kim Kardashian showed up looking absolutely fabulous in Camilla and Marc Alabama dress with her White Eel Christian Louboutin N.Prive Slingbacks, Tori on the other hand, looked like a giant stack of celery! Who told Tori this dress looked flattering?

Rihanna's music notes tattoos

Tattooing has developed into a modern art form. People all over the world recognize its craze among the youth across the countries. The young people are in tremendous hurry to visit the tattoo artists and get their favorite designed tattooed on their bodies.

The tattoos give the youth a definite “cool” look! All parts of the body can be the targets for tattoos. However, the extent of pain depends on the part of body. Some like the arms, back, lower back are favored areas. One need not be too surprised to find a lady proudly displaying a virgin tattoo on the ankle of her long sleek leg. It surely gives a unique look to her and the ankle tattoos thus are the talk of the town.

But a large number of people do not know the exact options of ankle tattooing. They fail to understand the extent to which the tattoo can be made on an ankle. When they are made on the upper part of the ankle, the ankle tattoos are less painful. But if you have it done right on the bony part of the ankle, be prepared for more pain. Hence it is advisable to go in for the smaller tattoos that avoid the bony part. On the upper part of the ankle because of more fleshy structure, you can have bigger tattoos. So the common mistake made by people is selecting the wrong size for of tattoo design for the ankle region. Do remember that it will be more painful if the tattooing is attempted directly on the bony surface.

Also remember that ankle tattoos remain for life. If they are made too low on the ankle, the wrinkles that appear over the years can make the tattoo go out of shape. Therefore, the calf region is best suited to have bigger tattoos for longer time since this region does not get wrinkles as fast. Consequently, the ankle tattoos also last longer.

People sometimes think that ankle tattoos bleed less. They are wrong. Bleeding here is more because they are at the end of the body circulatory system. It pays to be extra careful while getting your ankle tattooed. You must use a properly reclined chair so that the tattoo artist can get a good view of your ankle. You must also avoid walking long distances immediately after getting tattooed, to minimize bleeding.

Post tattooing care. It is vital to protect your ankle tattoos till they heal thoroughly. Along with the pain, there is also a possibility of ink running if rough, hard clothing rubs against the tattooed surface.

Boots are out for the first few days. In addition, avoid direct sunlight on the ankle tattoo as the sunlight can fade the tattoo. Sunscreen with SPF 15 can help in reducing the effect of the sun rays.

Many stylish fashion accessories are suitable for intimate encounters but can be easily transported from the bedroom to the clothes closet to create fashion accents for casual occasions as well. When silky intimate apparel is used for casual wear, it has the ability to attract the attention of every man that is present. Men find these to be a very seductive choice for everyday wear.

The opposite sex loves these intimate apparel selections because they offer a brief covering over the arms and bring out the sexiness of the shoulder blades. Women love to wear them for everyday wear because it is a cost effective way of controlling clothing expenses because intimate apparel is usually sold in sets. A woman can create a very seductive look that is perfect for dates or nights out on the town with other friends.

Men love intimate apparel that exposes the navel and these friendly and provocative fashion accessories can truly make a man pay attention when the exposed areas of the body are pointed toward their location. A woman can wear them with jeans and convey more to a man in an instant than she ever could if she wore another top and engaged in conversation at a bar for many hours. Intimate apparel can make romance happen very quickly and that romance does not have to occur at home.

The material of some intimate apparel can have a dramatic effect on the way a man treats a woman. If the material is soft and pliable, then a man will be tempted to nuzzle and finger the material for a very long time. This type of attention is welcomed by women all over the world because it brings a man within earshot and he has no other choice but to listen to small words of love that are whispered in his ear.

The intimate apparel used as casual wear can be made of flimsy material that requires a rigid layer to keep nipples from being exposed.
