Dita redefines the word "Hot" in her spread for the new issue of German Playboy. In addition to her suggestive cover pose, inside the magazine Dita appears topless, (SO not safe for work) wearing a corset and surrounded by provocative props.

Fergie is full of holiday cheer! Yesterday, Fergie unveiled the 550 pound, 9.5 foot Swarovski Star adorned with over 25,000 Swarovski crystals that will sit atop the famed Rockefeller Center Holiday tree. Watch the above video to see the unveiling (wait for it).

You gotta wonder how much they pay celebrities just to say "Um...I'm famous. Photograph me by this." Maybe they didn't pay her for her humps this time, though; it was for charity.

Have you ever seen Dita Von Teese in a pair of jeans and a comfy t-shirt? No -- and neither have we. That's why going as a "normal person," for Halloween is actually a costume for the lovely Burlesque performer.

You may have seen this crystal-encrusted, Dita Von Teese-reminiscent hat before. The quirky headpiece was featured on a highly-amusing episode of America's Next Top Model, in which everyone busted out their very best Cirque du Soleil imitations while modeling Tarina Tarantino's accessories line.

We were all excited when we heard that Dita Von Teese is partnering with Wonderbra to create a line of lingerie inspired by 40s and 50s underwear styles. It will be available any day now, and the suspense is killing us!

Dita knows a thing or two about anticipation, and keeping the fires stoked. In this video (pretty much safe for work) we catch a couple of glimpses of her wearing the new line, and swinging on a giant black bra (it will make sense when you see it.)

Even more exciting for us, she talks about someday maybe bringing out a line of vintage dress reproductions based on her fabulous personal collection. We would stand in line for days to get our hands on a copy of that green dress she wore to The Changeling premiere at Cannes. And if she does shoes, too? Thunk! (That was the sound of us swooning.) Even if they were wicked expensive, we'd sell our plasma if necessary! Please, some designer out there, do this with her!

If you aren't familiar with sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, you should be. The pair are the brains behind Rodarte, the ingenious clothing line that we're completely smitten for.

Though their last few seasons have been smash hits, nothing they've done to date has come close to their Fall 2008 collection. The sisters took their line in a completely new direction that everyone in fashion buzzing about "the next big thing" and "here to stay."

So if you want to look cool for fall...

When lingerie is mentioned, Dita von Teese is probably one of the first celeb names to come to mind. And so, it makes perfect sense that she would launch her own lingerie line. After a sneak peek, we're ready to buy!

For some girls, red is the only color for nails or lipstick. With a retro look like this, the details are all important -- smudges and chips are not to be tolerated. If, like Dita, you like a classic red gloss, then you probably also have several pairs of pointy heels, and are partial to false eyelashes and have several vintage cocktail dresses. Want Dita's nails at home? L'Oreal's Dozen Red Roses should do the trick.

Cannes is an exhausting marathon of a film festival. It goes for 11 days, and this isn't like Sundance where dress is semi-casual. Oh no, celebrities are expected to be on top of their game, dressed to the nines for Cannes. So it's understandable that after day after day of red carpet wear, some of them eventually slip up.

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

The rain wont stop, and when you're riding in a scooter there is no better idea than to drink vodka on the rocks with a lens all night. Oh, and work too.

By the time I made it to the Belvedere Vodka Jagger Dagger Party, I had already clocked 16 hours. So it was time to relax. Which was inevitable because no security guard in the V.I.P. club in Pointe Croissette cared that was the hired photographer this night. "Unlimited access" quickly turned into "hanging with the papparrazzi." Mark Ronson spun some tasty grooves as Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, displayed her $250,000 diamond and gem studded ice pick.

Browse the gallery to see my photos from the party, along with a few shots from Tuesday and Wednesday.

Cannes brings out the best in celebrities. It's all about going man to man in old school red carpet elegance -- only the strong survive. The festival has been going on for about a week now, so we decided it's time to bring you our top picks for best dressed from the first few days of the festival.

Much like Amy Winehouse, the fashion industry seems to be enamored with raven-haired beauty Heather Sweet, aka Dita Von Teese. She walked the runway for Moschino Cheap & Chic, she always sits front row at Chanel, Dior, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton each season and gets invited to only the best parties.

Plus, Paper magazine just added this interview with the super glamorous burlesque babe onto their site.

In the short three minute clip, everybody's favorite stripper discusses her love for old Hollywood, Christian Dior, vintage clothing, and MAC cosmetics, which she is a spokesmodel for.

Sorry, guys. There is no splashing around in a giant champagne glass. Enjoy.

We have no idea why anyone would pay $91,000 just to see Nicolas Sarkozy's supermodel wife posing sans clothing, but that's what some Chinese guy paid to own a photo of her in the buff. Oh yeah, it's art. Sure dude. [Guardian]

Argh! What the hell is that mustache doing invading William H. Macy's face? [She Knows Best]

Donatella Versace and her big, fat, important lips got invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner. [Jezebel]

Here's a fairly obvious partnership -- Dita Von Teese and Wonderba. The burlesque dancer turned B-list celeb will not only be the new face of the boob-enhancing undergarments, but she'll also be collaborating with Victoria's Secret to create a limited edition collection called, not surprisingly, "Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese."

So what's so special about a bra designed by pseudo strip-tease artist? The plan is to make "wearable lingerie that will add a touch of glamor to people's lives." Von Teese will be designing a collection based on 1940s styles and vintage underwear designs -- which, to be fair, will probably look pretty good.

Expect to see the new collection in France and the UK by September. No news on when (of even if) it'll be available in the US.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the organization fond of standing on its moral high ground, telling everyone they're awful for eating meat and wearing leather, has no problem using naked ladies (or mostly naked ladies) to draw attention to their cause.

In fact, I think they kind of enjoy doing it.

Days after the pro-vegetarian TV ad featuring Alicia Silverstone in her birthday suit, PETA has released a print ad with Dita Von Teese, the model and famous burlesque performer. As you can see, the ad features Von Teese, instructing a dirty old man about why it's important to spay and neuter your cats and dogs in a timely fashion.

I'm sure he's very moved on the issue.
