- Scarlett Johansson has apparently been moonlighting from her unconvincing portrayal of an actress to hawk sex toys in Mexico. [TMZ]

- Lindsay Lohan has been accused of attacking a woman in West Hollywood, but LiLo denies the charges. She only attacks people when there’s a rogue SUV involved, thank you. [NYDN]

- Some people brought their A-Easter-hat-game yesterday for New York’s annual Easter Parade, particularly this gal who clearly decimated a forest of drag queens for her chapeau. [Paper]

- The long-awaited — if two weeks is a long wait, which in 2012 it totes is – Katniss Everdeen Barbie doll has massacred her way onto the scene, equipped with bow, arrow and braided side pony. [EW]

- Heidi Klum has officially filed for divorce from aquatic mammal cum husband cum baby daddy, Seal. And Love has officially taken a running swan dive off a bridge. [The Cut]

- Anne Hathaway hath chopped her hair off for her upcoming role in Les Miserables. And lady’s looking lovely…in that impoverished, dying, literary kind of way. [Huff Po]

- Vena Cava‘s gotten a fairy godmother in the form of LF USA, a new investor that has saved the label from certain extinction. [Fashionista]

- Facebook bought Instagram for *cue lightning flash and evil laughter* $1 billion, despite the fact that Instagram has never actually made any money. But you can’t put a price on further invading your privacy. [Highsnobiety]

Tits Ahoy!: Celebrating National Cleavage Day

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:23:31 +0000

The Twitterverse is abuzz over National Cleavage Day, which it turns out, is actually a thing. A thing sponsored by Wonderbra. The boob-supporter conducted a survey of a thousand women to find out who had the best cleavage with the winner having the prestigious honor of being inducted into the Wonderbra Cleavage Hall of Fame — also a thing. So who did women choose as the rack of ages?

Probably someone you’ve never heard of, if you live stateside. Holly Willoughby, the host of British daytime show, This Morning, beat out the boobylicious likes of Beyoncé, Scarlett Johansson and Marilyn Monroe for the crown of Best Celebrity Cleavage. Her parents must be so proud. Check out the gallery for the top 10 best breasts.

1. Holly Willoughby

2. Scarlett Johansson

3. Beyoncé

4. Rihanna

5. Marilyn Monroe

6. Dita von Teese

7. Katy Perry

8. Brigitte Bardot

9. Kim Kardashian

Anna Wintour Throws Designers’ Support Behind Obama for Runway to Win

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:59:11 +0000

While the Republicans scramble to choose a nominee from their clown car of potential candidates, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have already laid down the groundwork for their 2012 campaign. The Obama-Biden ticket has recently partnered with 22 fashion designers for Runway to Win, an initiative to create T-shirts, tote bags, scarves and wristlets benefiting the Obama Victory Fund. And the driving force behind it is none other than Vogue‘s very own iron lady, Anna Wintour.

Wintour and Vogue have reportedly been “instrumental” in ~~coercing~~ assembling the 22 designers, including Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, Tracy Reese, Joseph Altuzarra, Rachel Roy, Narciso Rodriguez, Rag & Bone and Jason Wu. Wary of alienating Republican voters from their brands, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton initially nixed their labels from participating in Runway to Win, but Marc Jacobs — of which LVMH owns a majority stake — designed his T-shirt anyway, “following pressure from the magazine,” according to WWD.

On the other hand, Donna Karan, also owned by LVMH, did not bow to Wintour and is therefore not participating in the fundraising effort. And therefore won’t be seen in Vogue anytime soon…Kidding!…Not really.

Runway to Win’s e-commerce site, runwaytowin.com, officially launches on Thursday, but Wintour’s re-election campaign is not stopping there. She will also co-host an Obama fundraiser with ~~actress~~ Scarlett Johansson in February — which I’m taking as a sign that ScarJo will be on the cover around that time. See, kids, and you thought fashion and politics had nothing in common. They both require a steely nerve, a willingness to compromise and the ability to turn a blind eye to corruption. The blatant abuse of power doesn’t hurt either. [WWD]

Scarlett Johansson Poses Topless for Interview Magazine

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:00:22 +0000

Scarlett Johansson tries some bondage-inspired looks for her latest spread in the December 2011 issue of Interview Magazine. Photographed by Sølve Sundsbø, Scarjo, as usual, is looking a little lifeless in her expressions. But thanks to stylist Ludivine Poiblanc, her wardrobe is fab with the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu and Bottega Veneta on her side. See the gallery after the jump.

Four American Photographers We Can’t Get Enough Of

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:06:58 +0000

In this month of Americana, we want to celebrate everything in fashion, art and design coming out of our great country. And what would the American fashion industry be like without photographers? They bring fashion alive, setting the mood wished to be evoked by designers, editors and marketing teams everywhere. Here we will celebrate four American photographers to learn more about them and see some of their work.

David Armstrong

David Armstrong grew up outside Boston and traveled between his hometown and New York City when he studied at Cooper Union. After receiving his BFA at Tufts University in 1988, he moved to NYC permanently where he began work as a photographer. Starting out with black and white portraits, Armstrong began to experiment with landscapes and cityscapes in the nineties. Luckily, he also has a distinct and introspective eye for fashion – his editorials are moving and emotionally-charged.

Do You Believe in the Johansson-Reynolds-Theron Matrix?

Amanda Gabriele — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:05:27 +0000

Some “sources” say Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron have been spending a lot of time together these last few months. Are they consoling each other over failed relationships or having a passionate affair? One thing is for certain – Charlize Theron looks A LOT like Reynold’s ex-wife Scarlett Johansson. Not sure of the resemblance? Check out our Theron-Johansson parallels gallery and see for yourself.

MUSE OF THE WORLD: Liz’s White Diamonds to Bring Christie’s Luck, A Collective Eye-Rolling Over Blake at Chanel & Hollywood’s Newest Dysfunctional Couple

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 21:43:24 +0000

- Christie’s is rumoured to be auctioning off Dame Elizabeth Taylor‘s legendary jewelry collection, at one time valued at $150 million. I’d like to put in my initial bid for the 69-carat Taylor Burton Diamond. Let’s just take a quick look-see at the ole bank account…is $41.57 enough? [People]

- Some bitter queens at Chanel USA apparently had some “grumblings” over Gossip Girl star Blake Lively being named the brand’s Purse Ambassador — considering her look “off-brand.” Karl Lagerfeld, meanwhile, immediately had the disgruntled employees taken out back and turned into Chanel quilted handbags that he later gifted to Blake as a token of his esteem. [Daily News]

- Beyoncé has dropped her father Matthew Knowles as her manager after overseeing her career from Destiny’s baby to an Independent Woman [Part 1]. Now if only we can convince her to drop her mom Tina as a stylist…and then maybe bomb the House of Dereon…we can get the U.S.S. Fierce back on course. [Popeater]

- For Halloween, an industrious British gay — I’d say “flaming fag” but that’s completely something else over there — super-glued a tiny sequined hat to his adorable little, queer head. When the hat wouldn’t come off he visited the ER where they mercifully cut off part of the chapeau, leaving only the brim which came off hours later. Personally, I don’t see the problem with a tiny sequined hat permanently affixed to my head. Some say problem, I say party…24-7. [Huff Po]

- Talking plastic replicas of Jean Paul Gaultier and some of his famous clients will adorn the designer’s retrospective at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal this June. Also on display will be Madonna’s famous conical bras which you can use to pierce those talking plastic replicas in their creepy talking plastic faces. [The Cut]

- Reese Witherspoon got married to someone who’s not Ryan Phillippe so I clearly don’t care, but seems someone couldn’t help stealing the spotlight; among the guests at the wedding were new couple, Oscar-winner Sean Penn and Tony-winner (that must be a type-o) Scarlett Johansson. Let’s see, Sean Penn doesn’t have the greatest track record with women, so I’m just going to sit this one out and wait for the inevitable police report. [Popeater]

Scarlett Johansson Sizzles in Vogue China April 2011

Josh Linam — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:50:47 +0000

Scarlett Johansson sports Dolce & Gabbana for April 2011′s Vogue China spread. Fresh off the divorce train from Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett’s back on the market and looking distractingly sultry.

Photographed by Peter Lindbergh and styled by Nicoletta Santoro, the girl once named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine dons sexy slips and lacy dresses to score a 9.9 on the “OMG she’s effin’ hot” scale. (Ten-point scale, of course.)

To 5 Million Men, Blake Lively is The Top Woman

Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 14:44:33 +0000

Blake Lively is moving up in the ranks of the world right before our very eyes. I’m still getting over the shock of His Lagership naming her the official spokesmodel of Chanel, but we’ve been thrown another doozy. In a survey by AskMen.com of over 5 million guys to rank the Top 99 Women of 2011 (bit soon, isn’t it?), Blake Lively ranked number 1. Yes, Serena van der Woodsen just scored first place. Who else made the list you ask…?

Ranked Second is none other than the voice of one of the ugliest girls on television, according to her father, Peter Griffin. Mila Kunis has stepped out from behind the voiceover and back into the spotlight to remind us why Ashton Kutcher‘s character got it on with her for so many years on That 70′s Show. Miss Black Swan understudy, you are number 2.

Numbero Tres is hands down the hottest mom on television. Sofia Vergara flaunts her assets, like that Colombian accent, on Modern Family once a week. Men are turning their TV on in droves every Wednesday night for at least a couple of large, well placed reasons.

The rest of the results may surprise you. Scarlett Johansson dropped to number 7, and men love her. I mean, have you seen, like, every other issue of GQ? Emma Watson ranked #17, which is amazing for a girl who’s just played Hermione Granger for a decade. And can you believe that Angelina Jolie didn’t even make the top 20? So, the Top 99 Women (of ?) have been judged. Men can still go on and decide whether these ladies deserve to be moved up or down on the list. Let’s see if anything changes.

Pot Allegedly Calls Kettle Black

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:31:45 +0000

Pulitzer Prize front-runner, The National Enquirer, “reports” that “actress” Scarlett Johansson got all up in “Oscar-winner” Sandra Bullock‘s face, calling her a “man-hungry tramp,” after Bullock “cozied up” to ScarJo’s “ex-husband” Ryan Reynolds.

A “friend” of Johansson says that Scarlett still has “intense feelings for Ryan and feels Sandra isn’t respecting that at all.” Based solely on her film work, I doubt that ScarJo is even capable of an intense feeling, but let’s continue on…

According to this “friend,” Scarlett is having second thoughts and is still holding out hopes for a reconciliation. But as you can probably tell from that subtle Photoshopping above, Sandy’s “relationship” with Ryan has ENDED THAT HOPE.

In spite Johansson’s supposed accusations, Sandy Bulls told bosom buddy Al Roker on Sunday’s Golden Globe red carpet that she and Ryan are not “lovahs” after all:

“I think there will be a collective sigh amongst women across the United States when I say he’s not my lovah…he’s just an amazing friend I’ve had for 10 years and I hope there’s more friendship like that.”

Translation: “Who’s the man-hungry tramp now, beeyotch!”

Clearly, there’s only one way to solve this once and for all; someone call Maury Povich and tell him to clear his schedule for the rest of the week.

Red Carpet Report Card: Best of the Golden Globes

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:15:24 +0000

Welcome to the Red Carpet Report Card, Golden Globes addition. So many dresses, so little time to grade them all. First, let’s take a look at the best dressed of the night.

My best dressed choice was tied between three different beautiful ladies, but Anne Hathaway stands just a bit above the other two in Armani Privé. For a tall beauty with perfect curves like this, a structured shoulder is the best thing you can do for your body. She looks so graceful and statuesque in these beautiful rose sequins.

The back is to die for. It’s provocative, feminine and lovely. Anyone else, I would have said the hair should be worn up, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Anne looks. She is a goddess. She gets an A+.

Green was the color of the night, and no one wore it better than Angelina Jolie in Versace. Again, we’re seeing a beautiful padded shoulder that opens up the back and draws attention to her tiny waist. She looks glamorous without that “going to prom” nod that so many celebrities decided to do. I love the top to bottom sparkles and her elegant and unfussy hair. Grade A.

January Jones is a Hollywood bombshell, period, end of sentence. Not only is she talented enough to be on one of the best TV shows of our time, she is the only actress who could pull of this sexy, fringed Versace gown. Everything from the color, to her hair and that beautiful cleavage, January is a fashion risk-taker, and I love her for it. A

Pregnancy has never looked so rosy on the red carpet. Natalie Portman was glowing from the inside out in this pink and red Viktor & Rolf gown with an intricately detailed rose on the chest. She looks healthy, happy and she won best actress for Black Swan. What’s not to love here? A

In a Hollywood full of tramps and star fuckers, how beautiful it is to see a real lady stand by her man. Catherine Zeta Jones was absolutely glowing in this green Monique Lhuillier princess gown. It was so good to see her and Michael Douglas on the red carpet together. Beauty from the inside out: A.

If you have a flat chest, a 1920s style dress like this is prefect for your body. Jayma Mays got it right in this elegant and sexy Alberta Ferretti plunging v-neck gown. The accessories and curly locks perfectly complete the look. The lipstick looks a little orange, but it works against her hair and skin tones. A-

Now let’s talk about a big chest. Scarlet Johansson has a gorgeous, very voluptuous rack, and this dress enhances in a different way. Instead of spilling her cleavage all over the red carpet, Scarjo chose this demure and elegant Elie Saab gown in a lovely dusty pink. It sparkles just the right amount, and the sleeve is extremely flattering. Plus, she had the best hair on the red carpet. A-

I commend Leighton Meester for trying to take fashion risks, but lately they’ve been backfiring hardcore. I was pleased to see her looking so elegant and sophisticated in Burberry Prorsum on the red carpet last night. Her makeup is absolutely gorgeous and those Jimmy Choo shoes are fab-o-rama. It’s not my favorite, but I do love the dress and her. B

I’m not used to putting Eva Longoria in the best dressed category for her red carpet looks, but she looked ravishing last night in a fitted, black Zac Posen gown. It fits her like a glove and her whoa cleavage is saying hello to every single man in that crowd. Slightly bored, but I think that’s a good thing in her case. B

Here is the thing about Lea Michele‘s Oscar de la Renta gown: It does not photograph well. When watching her on the red carpet, she looked young, fresh and vibrant in this light salmon dress. It looks too consuming in photographs. But the color on her is amazing. I am so sick of this whispy, bull-shitty kind of up-do, so no points there. But the shoes, HELLO! B-
