Kate Moss Fronts Donna Karan's Fall-Winter 2008/09 Campaign

Those among us who were quick to point out the fact that international style icon Kate Moss was losing ground in favor of younger, more rebellious models (think the new British supermodel of the day Agyness Deyn) should nevertheless admit that at least for now, the revival of the "old school" supermodel trend gives M...

Lindsay Lohan Fronts Ethical Fashion Campaign

Posh Not So Posh in Marc Jacobs Ad

Ever since she shot to fame with her fellow Spice Girls and became one of the richest, most spoiled footballers' wives out there, Victoria Beckham has done her best to promote her "Posh" side and self-styled herself as the ultimate fashionista.

Kane & Lynch Ad Campaign Banned over Violence

To be honest, I had no idea that Eidos keeps advertising for Kane & Lynch since the public was kind of against the game following the Gerstman scandal last year.

Kate Bosworth is an actress who - despite her considerable talent and successful roles in a series of very good movies, has kept herself pretty much out of the public eye.

Heather Mills Accuses Meat-Eaters of "vandalising" the Planet

Heather Mills is apparently trying hard to give the world reasons to hate her. The outspoken former model is apparently not only Sir Paul McCartney's bitter ex wife, but also a hard-core vegan campaigner, who blames carnivores for global warming.

Dita Von Teese Is Still Furry

Dita, it seems, is a classy lady all the way to the tips of her fingers.
