It’s that time again, kids! Time for the only awards presentation of any merit, the Fifis. Celebrating the best in perfumes, colognes, eau de toilettes, body sprays and pretty much anything that covers up the smell of failure and/or shame, this year’s nominees naturally include a number of celebrity vanity fragrances such as Beyoncé‘s “Pulse” and Justin Bieber‘s “Someday,” both finalists in the Luxe Women category. While Bey may have the biological advantage, if you ask me there’s no woman more luxe than the Biebs.

The Academy Awards are this Sunday which means that Meryl Streep is sticking pins in her Viola Davis vooodoo doll, George Clooney is readying his smug acceptance speech and Brad Pitt is scraping the last Jolie-Pitt scion off his scraggly goatee in preparation for the big night. So in celebration and in anticipation, we present to you an oldie but a goodie: The 10 Greatest Oscar Gowns…wait for it…OF ALL TIME.

The bombshell is a creature at one with her sexuality — a lady, never a tramp, who uses her feminine wiles to seduce, control and if she so chooses, destroy. She’ll easily walk the fine line between good girl and trashbag and openly flirt with the dichotomy of Madonna and whore — and I’m not talking about that whore, Madonna. The bomnbshell is not merely a pretty face or a rockin’ bod — she’s a force to be reckoned with. It takes a little work, but anyone can learn the art of bombshelling. Just take a tip or three from the iconic bombshells of yore in these twelve classics films.

There have been so many ways to commemorate the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and a made for television movie is next in line. Notorious train wreck Lindsay Lohan will be portraying the icon in a new Lifetime movie titled Liz and Dick, a look back at the long lasting love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Granted we love Eliabeth Taylor and think that Lindsay Lohan is a bit of a disaster, there are similarities in Taylor’s history that may just make the role a decent fit for her. Lilo will be hosting Saturday Night Live next weekend (March 3) where we’ll be sure to hear a bit about her upcoming role.

Madonna sure knows how to make an entrance — that is, in haute couture on the backs of dozens of semi-clad, muscle-bound men. Meanwhile, that’s how I’d like to enter every room from now on.

- Equinox is stirring up some controversy with its latest slutty ad campaign shot by the Helmut Lang of Trash, Terry Richardson. I know what you’re thinking — “duh” — but the controversy stems from the models being too thin, not too skanky. What a twist! [Huffington Post]

In my mind, 2011 will be remembered as the year we lost one of the brightest stars in the vast constellation of pop culture luminaries — one Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Since her passing in March, Taylor’s legacy has loomed large over the fashion world — from an epic editorial homage by Carine Roitfeld to the record-breaking auction of her vast collection of jewels and haute couture. ROGUE Magazine, which is quickly becoming one of my fave mags for the illustrated icon, ends the year on a Liz-loving high note with this tribute by David Downton.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals removed whatever pole they had been sitting on as of late to point it in blame at Janet Jackson, Kim Kardashian and Cameron Crowe. The alliterative trio have earned positions on PETA’s list of “Celebrity Grinches of 2011″ for their unfriendliness towards animals.
