Remember the good ol' days when celebrities started sticking their fingers into fashion design?

Sure, we mocked the sub-par quality and amateurish vision at the time, but we'd gladly sit through another Heather Mills runway show (well, maybe not gladly) if it meant putting a stop to the last fashion invasion: Infomercials.

Exhibit A: Vince "ShamWow Guy" Shlomi sitting front row (FRONT ROW!) at the Monarchy Spring 2010 show during Fashion Week.

Exhibit B: Shlomi, represented by fellow former jailbird Lizzie Grubman, natch, is going to be coming out with a new swimwear collection, the New York Daily News' Gatecrasher column reports.

Exhibit C: Snuggie's impending Fashion Week presentation, otherwise known as the fourth (erm, third?) horseman of the apocalypse.

Can we get a WTF?!?

What's next? Ron Popeil's new line of couture gowns made from dehydrated food?

A Tony Little-inspired line of hair extensions?

Shiny jumpsuits designed by Jack LaLanne?

We think this calls for some HeadOn.

The ShamWow dude isn't the only Z-lister we'd like to keep out of the fashion world. Here's another one.
