Michael Fassbender Loves Leather Speedos

Michael Fassbender in 300

300 hunk Michael Fassbender likes wearing leather Speedos.

The Fish Tank actor, who dons a series of unusual outfits for his roles in forthcoming movies Jonah Hex and Centurion, refuses to limit himself to art house movies because he prefers the outfits he dons for big-budget films.

“I like doing both kinds of films. It doesn’t always have to be social commentary. Besides, I like running around in a leather Speedo.”

The actor also admits he is willing to tackle almost any film role if it feels right, and doesn’t worry about embarrassing himself in the process:

“I’ve been going on my gut pretty much from the beginning. I’m not always going to get it right, but risk interests me. There is some embarrassing element to everything I do in life. I used to beat myself up about it, but if you’re really going to learn and expand you’ve got to be open to doing things that perhaps don’t work out in the way you envisaged.”

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Movies, Clothing, Fashion Police, Style, Rumors

Chloe Sevigny for Opening CeremonyApparently Big Love star Chloë Sevigny is returning to her fashion roots. She recently made several remarks in an interview, heavily speaking about her desire to design a luxury line.

When asked by WWD about who she would like to collaborate with, she laughed at her far-reaching answer: “Hermès, maybe? That might be reaching a little high. Actually, NaNa would be a great collaboration!”

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Clothing, Style, Obituaries

Fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent dead at 71World-renowned, revolutionary French clothing designer Yves Saint Laurent died yesterday at the age of 71.

These are two pics of actor Matthew Broderick taken in recent weeks.

Are you seriously telling me that his wife - the fashionable - let him out of the house with those shoes?

Seriously.  Those awful things rank right up there with Britney Spears’ hideous brown boots.

Katie Holmes: Fashion Designer?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Clothing, Style, Rumors

Katie Holmes has apparently proven that she knows how to spend money on clothes, so that must mean she’s qualified to design them as well. Right?

A recent issue of OK! magazine reported that Mrs. was in line to have her own label under the Giorgio Armani name.  The collection, supposedly titled ‘Katie Holmes for Armani’, would have eventually included items for toddlers, kids and women.  It was a story too ridiculous it was probably true.  But surprisingly, it wasn’t.  Or isn’t yet.

According to Holmes’ rep, the designing rumor was just that - a rumor. “Katie Holmes is not designing a children’s clothing line for Giorgio Armani.”  Who knows?  Maybe her rep planted the story in hopes of making it true.  I mean, really—what else does Katie have going on?  She’s already made a mess of her acting career (choosing to come back in and not the Batman sequel was not a smart move)—she might as well do something else.

Get the Amy Winehouse Look

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Style

Put-Description-HereHere’s a tidbit that almost seems too ridiculous to be true: is coming out with her own makeup and clothing lines.

Seriously.

According to The Sun, the singer will soon be speaking to fashion and cosmetic execs about this new financial venture.  If wannabes are going to (inexplicably) imitate her, why not make them pay to do it?  Possible items linked to Winehouse’s name include hairspray (duh), scarves (to keep the bees in the hive), perfume (to mask the unwashed scent) and eyeliner (double duh).

Products not included?  Brushes, shampoo, tattoos, crack pipes and disintegrating ballerina flats.

The Oscars: Red Carpet Fashion

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Clothing, Fashion Police, Hair Styles, Red Carpet, Style, Photos

Jessica Alba at the OscarsFor me, award season isn’t about who walks away with a statuette - it’s about what they’re wearing when they’re doing it. Who looked great? Who should have stayed home? And who stole the show away from the actual show? That’s right - it’s time for the red carpet round up.

Pregnant arrived on the red carpet in a dark maroon, empress-cut waisted dress that gave her baby bump plenty of room. Everything was okay but the top of the dress, which exploded in a profusion of feathers that made her gown look less like couture and more like curtains haphazardly wrapped around her body. 

wore a double-stranded necklace that somehow didn’t complement her shell-colored ball gown. The color wasn’t right for Keri, and the unembellished look didn’t quite reach the elegant look Russell was no doubt going for.

Did Mariah Carey Leave Something at Home?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Fashion Police, Photos

Put-Description-HereThis picture was taken of while she was out shopping in Beverly Hills this Monday.  Every time I look at it, I just can’t help but think there’s something missing.

No, it wasn’t her dog.  (Although he’s not pictured, the Jack Russell was there at the mall with her.)

The diva’s got her sunglasses.  Check.

What could it possibly be?
