Fashion Victims: Paris Couture Week Brings Out The Megafans In France
When you think about it, going to a fashion show dressed head-to-toe in that designer's work is like going to a Yankee game in full pinstripes. Read: kinda lame. When you think about it even more, going to another continent to watch some women in conceptual clothing walk down a catwalk for fifteen minutes is weird, too. But hey, the rich are different from you and me! And as evidenced by the getups after the jump, the shows of Paris Couture week are a great excuse to wear some rad outfits without the pressures of The Carpet. Click through to see the fashions of Liv Tyler, Eva Mendes, Anna Wintour, Patricia Arquette, Helen Mirren and Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. More »

Michael Jackson Is Doing A Fashion Line? Insert Glove Joke Here
- Wacko Jacko is teaming up with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier to launch a new line this fall. The apparently delusional Frenchman says, “It’s the merging of the King of Pop with the king of fashion. Something explosive is going to happen.” Kitson, for some reason, has committed to carrying the line exclusively. Like all Michael Jackson news, this is somehow deeply depressing. [People]
- Um, Michael's sister Janet is also doing a line, apparently. Starting with lingerie. Insert "wardrobe malfunction" joke here. Oh, wait, Perez Hilton already did. [Perez Hilton]
- A spotlight fell on the head of a male model walking in Tom Ford's Milan show. Insert...no, don't. [Fashionista]

Campbell was wearing a "46664" baseball cap at the time of her arrest (Mandela's prison number during his 27-year stint behind bars and the emblem of his current anti-AIDS initiative), which Mandela found "disappointing" given that he personally counseled her following her last brush with the law/cellphone/maid.

A Look Back At Tyra's 500 Episodes
Tyra has a lot to celebrate: Today marks the 500th episode of her talk show, which, we learned this morning, has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy (this year in a different category, "talk show/informative" instead of "talk show/entertainment"). TyTy was a guest on The View today, and she let us know that New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has christened April 30 "Tyra Banks Show Day." (Unlike Mariah Carey, however, Tyra is not getting her signature colors shown on the Empire State Building.) So in honor of this very special occasion, we've compiled some of our favorite clips from Tyra's Emmy-nominated third season. Pack your bags, y'all, we're going after the jump. More »

Mandi Hamlin, 37, the plaintiff, is demanding "an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation," after officials forced her to remove her nipple rings before boarding a flight. Hamlin was taken behind a curtain to remove the rings, but one didn't come out easily, so officials gave her pliers to remove it. Says Allred: "The conduct of TSA was cruel and unnecessary...The last time that I checked a nipple was not a dangerous weapon." Tell that to Janet Jackson, lady! [AP]
