While a convicted batterer, many girls would still drop their crotchless panties for Mr. Brown. Even Rihanna wants another piece of that cake cake cake cake cake cake cake.

The "Seven Days" singer has been hitting the weights hard as of late, causing renewed interest in his career...or at least renewed interest in his physique.

D'Angelo may have gone through a rough patch -- leading to this infamous mug shot -- but he's back working on his fitness, though let us all rejoice in the halcyon days of "Untitled (How Does It Feel)"'.

Meanwhile, who knew John Legend had it goin' on like this? Not I. Not. Effin'. I.

Anyone remember Lil' Romeo, aka Master P's son? No, that's fine since he's not so lil' anymore.

Weezy F baby, please say the baby

Over 25 years after first extolling the virtues of his radio, the ladies still love cool James. Now even more than ever.

Way before he was scoring Oscar nominations and producing Emmy-winning crap like Entourage, Mark Wahlberg was better known as Marky Mark and even scored a number 1 hit with the Funky Bunch, "Good Vibrations."

Nick Cannon's status as a rapper or singer is dubious at best, but you can't argue that Mimi's house husband's got a body that won't quit.

Sammie first hit the scene in 1999 at 12 years old with "I Like It" and will release a new album this year -- I don't care what it is, but I already love it.

Biebs, take a note. This is how it's done.

This 1947 Ivory ad seems to say, "It's okay to drop the soap, boys, 'cause it floats. And so do you."

This 1957 Griffin ad is for shoe polish but I'm far more interested in that gorgeous sheer trench.

Sabrina's typerwiter ad from 1959 was banned after putting its share of eyes out. Seriously, what's under that sweater, two watermelons strapped to two torpedoes?

Maidenform took the boob game into the office with this classic ad from the 60s. Then Don Draper banged her in a bathroom stall. It was the wrong office.

One guess as to what's the first best shape in Italy? Hint: a calzone. A Fiat ad from 1965.

Just two queens sharing a dirty pun over cocktails in Thermodor's ad from the swingin' 60s.

"Blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere." That's been my mantra since Tipalet came out with this ad in 1969.

And the sex tape is born. Thanks in part to this Akai ad from the 70s. You're welcome Kardashians.

Why don't they make men like this anymore -- meaning awesome? Those badass mustaches, ass-kicking sunglasses and Interwoven's groovy 70s socks are gettin' the job done.

Well hello Adam. I see you've traded in that troublesome Eve for the convenience of internet porn. Sadly, this 1980 Apple ad was before the advent of the world wide web so it's off to the Garden of Eden for yet another lapdance.

This ad is so perfectly 80s: the hair, the makeup, the lack of manscaping, the high-waisted Jordache jeans. I bet they're all high on cocaine too.

What would this list be without Calvin Klein's iconic ads with Kate Moss and the artist formerly known as Marky Mark? I bet they're both high on cocaine too.

The boys are back in town. And by the looks of it, they're ready to play. Wonderbra's 1994 ad may not have the subtlety of Maidenform in the 60s but honestly neither did breasts.

There she is. Tom Ford. The king of sexy advertising, but where does one start? There's just so much filth to wade through but this Gucci ad from 2003 still raises a few eyebrows. Among other things.

Sexy ads will continue to be sexy as long as companies have shit to sell and people the money or at least credit to buy them. This Federici ad from 2010 gets extra points, though, for being both hot and blasphemous. I bet The Vatican was piiiiiised.

The King’s Speech stuttered its way to 12 nominations, while True Grit lassoed in 10. The Fighter came out swinging and took 8 nods, though not one for its leading man, Mark Wahlberg. The Social Network friened 8  nominations as well, but the hype from Black Swan might have stepped on the film’s toes, garnering only 5 nominations — which, by the way, does not include one for Best Costume Design…the Mulleavy sisters are maniacally cackling in their atelier right now.

Black Swan‘s supporting actresses, Mila Kunis and Barbara Hershey were also shut out. Instead, Amy Adams (The Fighter), Golden Globe winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech), Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom) and 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) will compete for that honor.

In a surprising twist, Mark Ruffalo earned a (well-deserved) nomination for The Kids Are All Right, which was nominated for three other awards including Best Actress Annette Bening (her fourth nomination and thankfully Hilary Swank is nowhere to be seen), Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

Ruffalo will compete against Golden Globe winner Christian Bale (The Fighter), Geoffrey Rush (The King’s Speech), John Hawkes (Winter’s Bone) and Jeremy Renner (The Town).

Host James Franco might have to pull double duty should he win Best Actor (he won’t, Colin Firth‘s all but claimed it and already has his name engraved on the statue). Nominated for 127 Hours, Daniel Desario will face (and arm) off against Firth (The King’s Speech), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), last year’s winner Jeff Bridges (True Grit) and surprise nominee, Javier Bardem (Biutiful), who apparently usurped Ryan Gosling for Blue Valentine.

The Best Actress category, however, held no surprises. Along with Annette Bening, Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine), Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) will have me on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

I’m so excited! Besides Fashion Week, there’s no other time of the year I love more than Oscar season! It’s the Super Bowl for the gays…besides the new Glee episode directly after the Super Bowl.

Link Love: Oscars

Despite scathing reviews and dysmal box office returns, The Tourist and Burlesque were both nominated for Best Picture – Musical/Comedy, which just goes to show you that…actually I’m not really sure at all what that goes to show anyone. Other nominees include Alice in Wonderland, Red and  The Kids Are All Right, which has already won by default.

Both Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie were nominated for Best Actor and Actress, respectively, in the same genre, however Cher is conspicuously absent. Now, who does the HFPA think they’re fooling? They can nominate Depp and Angie for sleepwalking through a movie no one saw, but snub Cher after wielding a crowbar in her first film in over 7 years? Someone call the AARP, the Globes are abusing a senior citizen.

Elsewhere, the Globes mirror the CCAs in their unabashed hard-on for Black Swan, The Social Network and The King’s Speech, each receiving multiple nominations in the acting categories, as well as a nomination for Best Picture – Drama. They’re joined in that auspicious category by Inception and The Fighter, with Danny Boyle‘s 127 Hours mysteriously snubbed.

The flick’s star, James Franco, is however nominated and released a statement to MTV about how “grateful” he is. And he also released a statement to Matt Lauer of the Today show about his love of texting pictures of fat animals.

I’m seriously excited about his various award speeches in the coming months.

Marky Mark Walhlberg (The Fighter) replaces Jeff Bridges in the competitive Best Actor – Drama category, otherwise, the nominees are exactly the same as the Critics’ Choice. Meanwhile, the nominees in the Best Actor – Comedy section will be getting drunk on the free champagne while Johnny Depp chuckles to himself at getting nominated twice for essentially the same character he’s been playing for the past 15 years.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that the race to watch this year is Best Actress. Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lawrence all re-scored the nomination, with Halle Berry somehow sneaking into the Drama category. Annette Bening has already engraved her name on the Best Actress – Comedy trophy, as her only real competition coming from her Kids Are All Right co-star, the incredible Julianne Moore.

Designer Calvin Klein must have gotten nostalgic about the 1980′s jeans campaign which featured Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss, because while Klein aknowledged Moss to be a “great model,” he also revealed that she is “difficult to work with.”

“It didn’t go too well,” Klein said. “She didn’t like him at all. He was a pleasure. I have worked with so many women, great ones, and Kate was always difficult.”

“The executives have a plan to model the ads very similarly after the famous Mark Wahlberg campaign in the 90’s, they want to recreate the look of the hugely successful ads, and who is better than Kellan Lutz to fill out those little underwear?”

Thoughts?

Mark Wahlberg looks pretty ridiculous in this wig, if you ask me.  Here’s the trailer for his new movie, Lovely Bones. Wish they’d nix the wig before the film comes out, maybe they’ll take this one back to the drawing board?

Marky Mark my how you’ve changed. You went from a white rapper to a damn good actor. Thank god you got a stylist! There is something about white ghetto rapper that brings Eminem beating his wife to mind, and well I could do without that for a long time. Although I’m sure there are hundreds of you ghetto fab readers out there thinking “What’s wrong with over sized letterman jackets and backwards hat?” and that is why you don’t work at Fashion Indie and I do. Mark Walhberg needed a stylist badly and lucky for him he did or he would probably be trying to put together some crappy reunion tour like New Kids On The Block, or he’d have a reality TV show on VH1 right after Flava Flav.
