  • I’m not exactly blessed in the chestal region, so whenever I see a new gimmick to help push my puppies up, I get a little perky (no pun or alliteration intended). VOILA! A heat sensitive push-up bra… Popgloss.com
  • That purported shootout at Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s second wedding in Costa Rica may have also been their last big media blowout. Married people just aren’t as interesting as unmarrieds, so let’s let those two buy curtain rods at Home Depot together in peace. Paparazzi have a new model-football-player couple to trail: Hilary Rhoda and Mark Sanchez. NYMag.com

  • Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet at Cannes earlier today for the premiere of “Inglourious Basterds”, the WWII movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, and as you might imagine the foreign press went insane. Which is cool because Pitt and Jolie are American. I like them out there as representatives of the US. Unless we can somehow get John Wayne to date the Statue of Liberty, I vote for these two. WWTD.com
  • Back in 1998, Anna Wintour refused to allow Oprah to be on the cover of Vogue unless she lost a bunch of weight. Anna later relented after seeing people who looked like “little houses” on a trip to Minnesota and decided that her magazine needed to educate people on the dangers of being a fat f***. Gawker.com
  • Drew Barrymore must have hit her head and woke up thinking she was M.I.A, because her poor outfit choice indicates that she’s a cracked-out hipster. Just because our little Sri Lankan rapper can pull off the crazy tie-dye tights and see-through tops doesn’t mean that Barrymore, pushing 40, should even attempt. FashionIndie.com

  • People matched up an image of a pedaling MK in windblown hair, layered necklaces, and Lennon-style sunglasses, with an eerily similar image of Ozzy Osbourne. Prince of Darkness vs Fashion Princess. Who rocks the look better? Fash20090430_mkors_250x375ionIndie.com

  • Apparently Whitney Port is mightier than the economy. At a time when several celebrity fashion lines are being canned, put on hold, or downgraded — as with former Hills co-star Lauren Conrad’s eponymous effort, first on hiatus and later bumped to Kohl’s — Port’s people leaked sneak-peek photos of her Whitney Eve fall 2009 collection, officially making her the o23row-190nly person from MTV’s initially fashion-related reality franchise to be creating fashion-related buzz in real life.

  • Halle Berry appears on the cover of May’s Harper’s Bazaar, prompting the Daily News to label her the “latest victim of overzealous Photoshopping.” A magazine-cover subject (gasp) Photoshopped? They don’t say. The paper notes that she looks “older than usual.” The retoucher did not, you’ll notice, completely remove the bags under Berry’s eyes. NYMag.com
  • The WTF of this week goes too… Sears. The U.S. arm of Teijin Fibers Limited is partnering with Sears and the maker of the retailer’s private label apparel to fashion men’s suits from a blend of wool and polyester fibers that are produced from recycled PET bottles. GreenerDesign.com
  • Saggy pants, baggy pants, slouching, whatever it’s called – that fashion of wearing them waaaaaay below the point where the boxer shorts begin. Is it errant fashion legally banned by Riviera Beach? Or does the wearer have a constitutional right to display himself the way he wishes even if it involves underwear? PalmBeachPost.com
  • I mean I like her, she doesn’t have to work so hard at it. Country superstar Taylor Swift has had the opportunity to wear beautiful dresses to events like the Grammy Awards and ACM Awards, but there is one gown that isn’t just sitting in the back of her closet: her prom dress! Swift has given her long cream and gold Jessica McClintock gown to Hearst Magazines’ DonateMyDress.org, the first national network to bring together local dress drive organizations across the U.S., to help girls give and find the dress of their dreams.

  • It’s nice to see Anna Faris in clothes and looking like she has more than three brain cells. I don’t know who’s her agent but can someone tell them that the whole House Bunny, looking like a pin up in mens magazine thing is so not cool. Thank god someone is trying to make this girl seem like she has some sense, fashion sense that is… FashionIndie.com
  • Hot on the heels of Gwyennie Paltrow, Pamela Anderson has announced that she too is a fashion designer.

  • The arrival of Topshop/Topman this week has sent New Yorkers into something of a frenzy.

Well, it looks like we can have our cake and eat it too through a cool site called WearTodayGoneTomorrow.com. FabSugar.com

  • Oh, how to describe our excitement at getting a glimpse of Beyoncé’s Thierry Mugler tour costumes! We’ve been waiting for this moment for four months, yet deep down inside we feel like we’ve been waiting for it our entire lives. Looking at these images has brought us to a moment of Zen, perhaps best put into words by Mugler, who says the costumes areoriginal_5245da7673c3ae4782c77651b6847b7c rooted in the songs’ meanings: “Feminine. Free. Warrior. Fierce.” She’s not just Sasha Fierce anymore. She’s Sasha Feminine. Sasha Free. Sasha Warrior. NYMag.com

The couple is headed to Martone’s native Sao Paolo for a fete celebrating the Marc Jacobs multibrand store there, which opened in January. They have not set a wedding date. WWD.com
  • I don’t need to be a bride to know the importance of wedding attire, and neither does Net-a-Porter. The site has just launched a cool wedding boutique and it’s filled with beautiful offerings for everyone in the bridal party. Each category — bridal, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, and guest — provides an in-depth selection of designer dresses and accessories. Think of it as an upscale online bridal salon minus the frumpy frocks. FabSugar.com
  • An UPSIDE to the financial crisis: The auditor of Crocs has “substantial doubt” about the company’s ability to stay in business amid falling revenue. Praise! NYMag.com
