Burlesque beauty Dita presents her glam new lingerie range




She's been hailed as leading the revival of Forties-style glamour. Now burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese has channelled her unique style into a lingerie selection.

The porcelain-skinned beauty, famed for her seductive striptease routines, stars in the new campaign for the retro line she has created for Wonderbra. The three ranges are named Multi-Teese, Spot-Teese and Satin-Teese.

A limited edition, the collection goes on sale in Europe on September 23 and is inspired by popular designs of the post-war era.

Bunny Hop


Hugh Hefner -- whose acting career stretches back at least as far as playing the manager of a Playboy Club in a 1965 episode of "Burke's Law'' -- has perhaps his most substantial big-screen role yet in "The House Bunny,'' opening tomorrow. He has five scenes in a supporting role as "himself'' -- showing off a wide range of emotions -- in this Anna Faris comedy about an exiled resident of the Playboy Mansion who helps empower a bunch of nerdy sororiety girls she turns into hotties. Earlier this season, Hef had a more traditionally brief cameo as himself in "Iron Man'' opposite Robert Downey Jr., who is set to play Hefner in an upcoming biopic. By the way, it's worth noting that "The House Bunny'' bears more a slight resemblance to another Columbia Pictures comedy from three years ago, "Man of the House,'' which revolved around a Texas Ranger who serves as House Father for a group of sororiety girls. That one starred Tommy Lee Jones, who doubtless used his salary to help finish "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.''

Madonna Reveals Tour Secrets


Madonna fans – get ready to party! As her countdown to her Sticky & Sweet tour begins, the Queen of Pop is preparing to take fans on a "rock-driven, dancetastic journey," her Web site reported Wednesday. The singer – who turned 50 earlier this week – reveals that her two-hour show will be broken into four sections: 1920's “gangsta pimp,” old-school New York club, gyspy (described as a "VIP trip to 'La Isla Bonita' infused by the spirit of Romanian folk music”) and far-eastern inspired rave. After a grueling 653 hours of rehearsal, the tour kicks off in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday. Each performance will include

our favorite Coco!




The Barneys fall catalog starring Coco Rocha doesn't drop until August 30, but we have a preview for you. We know — the word "catalog" sounds about as exciting as hanging out with Lauren Conrad. But this one is special, we swear. It stars Coco Rocha and looks more like a fashion spread than the typical mail-order mag. Plus, it tells a story! Simon Doonan told WWD Rocha plays a character named Emma who agonizes over choosing between two men, Gustavo and Skipper, but has no trouble choosing her wardrobe because she just buys everything she wants. Including the Yves Saint Laurent she's wearing here. And the Dries Van Noten, Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, and Proenza Schouler you can see her wearing after the jump. “Embedded in there is permission to be a little self-indulgent. It’s a bit of glamorous self-indulgence,” Doonan says.

Kate Moss Interview!





She may famously avoid going on the record, but in the September 2008 Interview, Kate Moss speaks. Glenn O'Brien's piece, which comes as close to a conversation with Kate as you may ever get, runs the gamut from her controversial weight to daughter Lila Grace, with a little comedic word-association in between. Let the gems begin . . .

She wasn't a big fan of working with Mark Wahlberg on those famous Calvin Klein ads.

At the time he was such a d*ckhead. He wasn't very nice.
And she got more than she bargained for when she met Frank Sinatra at his 80th birthday party.
I was with Johnny [Depp] at the time. And Frank came over to me and got all of his security to close in so Johnny couldn't get to me. I was sitting down having a cigarette, and he just walked in the room, and he spotted me and made a beeline to me. So we were encircled by security in this backstage area, and he's like, "How are we doing, little Lady?" And I said, "Happy Birthday, Frank!" and I want to shake his hand, and he just lunged at me . . . He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps.

Most fashion photography is done by gay people finding women sexy,” Teller says, “which is sort of not sexy at all, at least to a heterosexual man. She’s so retouched, so airbrushed, without any human response at all, and, well, you don’t really want to fuck a doll.”
