For his new movie Sasha Cohen hijacked Milan Fashion week -

Baron Cohen and his team used fake passes to fool security guards into letting them into a backstage area of a show by the Italian label Iceberg.

One of the comedian's team, dressed in a head-to-toe velcro suit, caused chaos by running around and careering into clothes racks.

In footage aired on Italian television, flustered fashionistas screamed "security, security" until the man was manhandled away by security guards.

The team tried to enter a second fashion show on Thursday evening but were thwarted by tightened security.

Baron Cohen – best known for his creations Ali G and Borat, the blundering journalist from Kazakhstan – is in Milan working on a new film featuring his character Bruno.

The movie, Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male, is due out in May.

It is being shot in the same mockumentary style that was such a hit in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Bruno, like Borat, is one of the sketch characters from Baron Cohen's popular TV series, Da Ali G Show.

Check out the video!

wind on the runway?

2008-09-10T09:22:00.001-07:00

It's weird having Marc Jacobs show in the middle of Fashion Week rather than at the very end like he used to — everything seems so anticlimactic from here on out. This morning, backstage at Matthew Williamson, Coco Rocha disagreed: She's really excited about Zac Posen's show on Thursday, and thinks he's going to have some wind machine action on the runway — but she wouldn't elaborate further than that. Definitely something to look out for, no?

Apparently, Agyness has been seen wearing Stam's around, and Stam wearing Coco's . . .

Madonna Dedicates 'Like A Virgin' to the Pope

2008-09-08T22:44:00.000-07:00

Madonna's tumultuous relationship with the Catholic church took yet another strange turn this weekend, when she paid homage to the Pope before performing her hit "Like a Virgin." "I dedicate this song to the Pope, because I'm a child of God," the performer, 50, told 60,000 fans who flocked to the Italian capital for the latest stop on her Sticky & Sweet world tour, Reuters reports. "All of you are also children of God." In 2006, Vatican officials accused the singer of putting on one of the most blasphemous displays of all time when she staged a mock crucifixion during her performance at the city's Olympic Stadium.

Back in 2006, a Steven Meisel picture of Gemma Ward and Sasha Pivovarova in nuns' veils was published by Vogue Italia, illustrating how similar the two girls appear. In the Fall 2008 issue of POP, the same idea seems to have happened with Alana Zimmer and Amanda Laine: Semra Russell styled the two to resemble each other in "Twin Peaks" — funnily enough, they are also dressed as nuns. Coincidence?

Jenni Kayne presentation without the designer!

2008-09-06T12:09:00.000-07:00

Jenni Kayne may be eight months pregnant and unable to travel from her LA homebase, but that didn't keep her Spring 2009 collection from making the cross-country flight in time for Fashion Week.
In the past, Jenni's gone for the models-as-still-life presentation approach, but since she couldn't be at today's presentation, the 31 looks were styled on clean, white mannequins in one big U-shape. Such minimalism kept the focus on the clothes — the simple, effortlessly cool pieces that Jenni has made a name on. Her trademark ensemble — slouchy tank paired with long, floor-grazing skirt — was intact, but there were plenty of new additions as well

Madonna's last-minute dash for her Guy's 'RocknRolla' screening

2008-09-02T14:57:00.000-07:00

Madonna's world tour took a backseat as the queen of pop dashed over from Zurich to make it to husband Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla premiere. The singer arrived in London's Leicester Square with just minutes to spare before the start of the gangster flick, her husband's fifth film as a director.

The couple have been plagued by controvery over the state of their marriage and were clearly keen to show a united front.

Guy, who'd spent an hour anxiously awaiting her arrival, gave Madonna's waist a warm squeeze before escorting her proudly down the red carpet. His wife, looking fabulous in a satin faux jewel-detailed Stella McCartney design, was also greeted by an appreciative roar from the crowd.

Asked by one reporter about how they keep their at times tempestuous relationship on track, the movie director replied: "It's hard because there's a big ocean in the way sometimes, but we try to do our best".

Three more join Tarantino's Bastards

2008-09-01T19:25:00.000-07:00

The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” is growing.

According to Variety, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz and Raul Rust are the latest to join the ultraviolent WWII drama.

Kruger, whose acting credits include "Troy," “National Treasure” and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," plays German actress Bridget von Hammersmark, who’s somehow involved in a plot to sabotage the Nazis.

As for Waltz, he stars as Col. Hans Landa, the film’s main antagonist. Specific details concerning Rust’s role are unknown at this stage.

Also on board of the flick are Bard Pitt, Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender and B.J. Novak. Simon Pegg was also in talks to play a British lieutenant, but he had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

I’m very glad to hear that the casting process is going so well. That way they can head into principal photography on time and get that picture ready to theaters as quickly as possible.

2008-09-01T13:18:00.000-07:00

Keira Knightley has defended her new movie The Duchess after images of late royal Diana, Princess Of Wales were included in the trailer for the film.

In the new movie, Knightley plays Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, a distant relation of Diana - who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The promo for The Duchess sparked outrage by showing pictures of the late Princess and emphasising the link between the film's lead character and her modern-day descendant.

I will censor myself out of respect for Jennie [Garth] because she's friends with Tori. I got passages sent to me and a vast majority of it is incredibly exaggerated. Maybe it's a difference of how I was raised. I just don't believe you write personal on-set experiences in a book. For me, when you work it's almost a sacred experience whether you get along with everyone or not. In 27 years of acting I've never sold out one of my cast members. Ever. And I will stick to that."

Bugatti and Hermès Collaboration

2008-08-29T10:54:00.000-07:00

Originally announced at the International Car Show back in March, a relationship originally forged in the 1920s by Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermès would be re-visited once again as the two would collaborate together on a special make-up of the 1001 horsepower monster, the Bugatti Veyron. While the original model debutant car was seen in brown/tan tones, this second look unveils another colorway with three other schemes also part of the package of custom-made to order cars ringing in at € 1.5 million EUR (approximately $2.2 million USD). Aside from the ability to choose from “indigo blue and vermilion”, “indigo blue and lime green”, ” black and garance red” and “Prussian blue and blue jean”, each Veyron Fbg includes H-pattern grille, eight-spoke wheels, a luxurious calfskin upholstery and an exclusive collection of Hermes luggage.

JENNIE GARTH AND SHANNEN DOHERTY GO BACK TO SCHOOL IN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

2008-08-29T10:40:00.001-07:00

Below is an excerpt of Entertainment Weekly’s Q&A:

EW: Did you ever think the two of you would be sitting here talking about playing Brenda Walsh and Kelly Tay lor again?

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty: [In uni son] No.

Garth: I thought [Beverly Hills, 90210] had a beginning, middle, and an end. It was very neatly in its coffin and it was done. When they told me they were do ing it, I thought: No! Like something sort of sacred was being disrupted. Some part of who I was and a piece of my history was being messed with. It took me a while to settle into that idea.

Doherty: Early on, my publicist got a call asking her “Would she do it?” I was kind of like, Why would I play Brenda Walsh again? There was an “I Hate Brenda” newsletter. Why would I pos sibly get myself back into that? I think it was too scary for me. I didn’t want to go back to people hating me. It just wasn’t something that I considered for a good chunk of time. At some point it hit me that this is what the fans want ed. They put a roof over my head. They allow me to eat and to feed my dogs. The only reason I survive is because of them. If there’s one way to possibly say thank you, it is to go back and play a character that you never even liked yourself.

EW: You didn’t like Brenda?

Doherty There were parts of Brenda I loved. They just took her in a really odd direction that I didn’t necessarily agree with at the time. I still kind of look back and think, Eh, it’s not what I would have done, but I understand. Every show has to have that character full of teenage angst and drama. I think she was driven by insecurity that was at the root of everything.

EW: The other day you had your first scene together in 14 years. When did you last see each other before the scene and what was it like shooting together again?

Doherty: [Laughs] Oh, God. When was it? Ten years ago? I don’t know. A long time. I can only speak for myself, but being with someone I knew made it easier for me my first day on set. At least for me there was an appreciation that we’d been through the first 90210 together and now we’re going through it again, but in such a different way be cause we’re both adults now. The only weird thing was while we were trying to catch up everyone was watching us. Every single eyeball was on us. I don’t know what they were expecting. I was more interested in talking to her about Dancing With the Stars. I thought she did an amazing job.

Valentino: Tears and Cheers

2008-08-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

VENICE — “I only remember what I want to remember,” joked Valentino to Giancarlo Giammetti during a stroll down Via Veneto, as the latter brought back memories of their first encounter at the Café de Paris in Rome on July 31, 1960.

“It must be since the Dolce Vita days that I haven’t been down here,” added Valentino with a twang of nostalgia.

Their walk down memory lane on a cold, winter day may have been orchestrated for a scene in Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary, “Valentino: The Last Emperor,” but the deeply rooted, inspirational and unique union between Valentino and Giammetti is really what sparked...

Wilhelmina Going Public

2008-08-28T09:34:00.000-07:00

Wilhelmina announced this morning that they're going public.

When private companies decide to go public, it usually means that they need to raise some cash, either because they have some nagging debts, or because they just want to have the capital to expand.

We're curious to see what, if anything, comes from this. Wilhelmina hasn't really been relevant in terms of fashion models for a while, at least not in comparison to major players like IMG and Women. Though WIlhelmina helped launch the career of Lauren Hutton, their roster of clients right now is headlined by Fergie, Brandy, and Natasha Bedingfield.

Maybe they're raising money to steal away some of the girls on Model.com's Top 50 - because, as of right now, Wilhelmina is entirely absent.

Jerry Ford died on August 24th

2008-08-28T08:45:00.000-07:00

Jerry Ford, who founded the Ford Modeling Agency with his wife, Eileen, in 1946, died Sunday at the age of 83 in Morristown, New Jersey. His daughter Katie Ford told the New York Times the cause of death was complications from endocarditis, or inflammation of the heart. Ford is credited with turning modeling into a true profession and establishing the business practices by which it operates today. He introduced a system for collecting fees for models and agents. He also was the first to create contracts for models to exclusively represent certain brands and earn much higher fees. Lauren Hutton signed the first such contract negotiated by Ford with Revlon in 1974. Ford's agency managed the biggest models for decades, including Christie Brinkley, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Brooke Shields. In the book Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women by Michael Gross, Ford says, "I’m not from New York. I thought models were the most incredible things in the world.”

In one shot, a laid back Moss leans against the wall in a high-legged leotard, with her tiny waist ‘crowned’ by a unusual-looking belt made of metal wires.
For the feature, the 34-year-old covers up her long blonde hair with a short platinum blonde wig, harking back to the 1980s haircut of Blondie star Deborah Harry.
The supermodel, who is dating Kills frontman boyfriend Jamie Hince, reveals in the interview that she doesn’t think terribly highly of the opposite sex.
‘Absolute b******s. Men are not to be trusted,’ she said.
She also boasts of her sexual abilities, admitting she has more experience with men in her thirties: ‘I’m a lot better in the sack now.’
She also reveals her daughter, Lila, is a fashion freak and much-more strong willed than she was as a child.
The model also chose the interview as an excuse to pour water on rumours that she doesn’t eat and is too skinny.
She said: ‘I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane and the food would be so disgusting you wouldn’t eat it.’
‘I never liked being that skinny. I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny.’
Her comments, which also appear in this week’s Grazia magazine, come as she was snapped enjoying a romantic night out with Hince.
Moss was pictured leaving pop star George Michael’s house following the final leg of his two-year worldwide tour to mark the end of his live career.
As well as Moss and Hince, other guests in attendance were Matt Lucas and a mystery male companion.
And despite giving the rare interview, Moss proved she is still keen to avoid the paparazzi glare as she tried to shield herself from cameras by covering herself with a jacket.
Moss was styled by Karl Templer for the Interview shoot. The magazine is currently on sale in U.S. newsstands.

BLOWING THE COVER —The November 2008 cover of W will not feature the work of Steven Klein or Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, but rather Brad Pitt. The actor shot Angelina Jolie and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt family at Chateau Miraval in the southern France last week, marking his first ever turn as cover photographer. Angelina and Brad appeared together on the W cover once before in 2005. What a coup for W — especially considering the numbers the Jolie-Pitts just turned for People

Marc not married!

2008-08-26T06:27:00.000-07:00

After that rampant Marc Jacobs marriage rumor that made major Internet waves last month, we finally have confirmation that it didn't happen. In The New Yorker's Sept. 1 issue, Ariel Levy's profile of Marc bluntly states: "Last month, Page Six misreported that Jacobs had married Martone." So, no marriage, but there is plenty of other insight to be had about Marc's relationship with Lorenzo Martone, his new "addiction," and all that attention he's been getting.

Lorenzo was upset about all the tabloid coverage their relationship gets; Marc told him to "man up" and ignore it.

"Last Tuesday, [Page Six] had me making out with my ex-boyfriend Jason Preston at Pastis and bad-mouthing someone I went out with for four days. Well, first of all, I did not bad-mouth the person I went out with for four days, second of all I was not getting back together with Jason Preston, and, fourth—or first!—of all, I wasn't even in the city of New York on that Saturday! I was in Paris, France. My current boyfriend said, 'Marc, you know I don't believe it, but so many people have asked me about it.' I was, like, 'You put me on a plane Friday night! How can you be listening to this?'"

Instead of cocaine or alcohol, the gym has become Marc's addiction.

"Everything is beautiful at the gym, everyone looks amazing. You just think it's like one big healthy circus going on out there: the bodies are great, people are jolly, and, even when they're complaining about how strenuous it is, there's, like, a kind of very good, positive, we're-all-doing-something-good-for-ourselves . . . And it's two and a half hours that I'm not smoking. I am a true addict in that whatever makes me feel good I want more of, whether it's good for me or not."

Cher to Play Catwoman???

2008-08-25T07:56:00.000-07:00

When you're the biggest movie in a decade like The Dark Knight is and you're tailor made for making a splash with your casting the way its eventual follow-up is, it's not surprising that we're hearing lots of theories on the next Batman movie, which for the sake of editorial consistency, we'll call The Dark Knight Returns until something else comes along.

We've heard The Riddler, Catwoman, and The Penguin, none of which I'm inclined to believe just yet, if only because they feel like played out characters. We've also heard a few supposed casting rumblings, but nothing quite like this: Cher as Catwoman?

The Telegraph cites a "studio executive" who says, "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years." The source adds, "The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations.

OBAMA LOSES GAY-MEDIA KING

2008-08-25T07:48:00.000-07:00

PAUL Colichman, the William Randolph Hearst of the gay media, is not supporting Barack Obama for president. But that doesn't mean he's backing John McCain.
"I'm a die-hard Democrat," he tells Page Six. But Colichman was also a die-hard Hillary Clinton supporter. He and Harry Thomason produced a documentary, "The Hunting of the President: The 10-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton."
Colichman, 46, who owns The Advocate and Out magazines, GayWired.com, and Here, the premium cable network for gays, said he finally dealt with his disappointment over Clinton's defeat last week and came around to Obama.

Spring Wear

Loud limbs have their role. But the newest looks in legwear come in neutral tones as designers give patterns a more tranquil update for spring.

Legwear’s tried-and-true colors, such as black and white, navy blue and nude, are making a comeback this spring. But this isn’t your granny’s hose. Manufacturers are keeping their collections fresh with intricate openwork, quirky patterns and by adding an occasional watercolor pastel.

Mark Wahlberg for 'Virulents' Adaptation?

2008-08-22T10:00:00.000-07:00

It was announced last August that John Moore would be bringing Virgin Comics' Virulents to the big screen. This weekend he told MTV he wants a Wahlberg to star. "Mark [Wahlberg]. We had a hell of a time on Max Payne. I think hes an actor of unlimited potential and Id just love to go around with him again. [But] were not in control of these things lots of big people with big checkbooks get to do that. If its going to happen, then the karma makes it happen. The story revolves around a ragtag group of soldiers who search for a lost patrol in Afghanistan. The soldiers, some from an American military unit, some from an Indian military unit, stumble into a nest of vampire zombies.

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

2008-08-21T10:43:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-21T10:17:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-21T09:59:00.000-07:00

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.
