Filed under: Events: On the Scene

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.



It's been a long while, I know. Some of you may be wondering why I haven't posted in such a long time. I spent some time at the Latin Grammy's in Houston, Texas, where mariachi fashion and cowboy hats were all I could find. So it's been a bit of a drought on the fashion side of photography lately.

Scientologist style: Get the look

Filed under: Celebrities with Style



As anyone who saw Tom Cruise's freaky, possessed-by-aliens recruiting video is well aware, there's a hot new world religion -- and it's stealing money from followed by an ever-increasing list of top notch celebrities. Unfortunately, some of you may be constrained by the rules of your boring, old-school faith (or just your sanity) to fully embrace the ideals of Scientology, and accept that aliens are coming to whisk you away to magical land of intergalactic fancy. But never fear, with a few simple modifications to your appearance, you can get in on the Scientology trend by dressing the part.

Step 1: Look sharp. From Tom Cruise, to John Travolta, to Danny Masterson, every member of the "Church" of Scientology is dressed to impress the cosmos whenever they're in public. That means well-trimmed facial fuzz (or clean-shaven), neatly-cropped (or at least well-kept) hair, and fitted, no-frills clothing. Remember, you're on a mission to keep humanity from destroying itself -- look like you care, please.

Step 2: Grow a porn star stache This may only apply to younger members of the church, as senior members like Tom Cruise and John Travolta have opted to shave. That said, it's possible that once you reach a certain status, you're required to drink weird blue liquid from Neptune that prevents your body from producing facial hair, and thus younger members don 70s cop mustaches out of respect for their furless elders. But that's only a theory.

Step 3: Cultivate a creepy, "I might be a robot" expression Potentially a challenge, considering you, unlike your celebrity counterparts, probably aren't a trained actor. Yet, it's essential that you master the Scientology stare if you're going to be believable. You're looking for big, warm smiles coupled with a dead, yet determined look in your eye that suggests there's someone else behind the wheel.

Master these steps, and you'll be the envy of your friends/the galaxy at large.

Own John Travolta's drag queen dress from Hairspray!

Filed under: Clothing, Men, Dresses, Celebrities with Style

I haven't seen the new Hairspray movie -- mostly because everyone told me it was lame, and the original (which I have seen) was a work of genius. That said, you may have heard that the infamous Edna Turnblad character in the new version is played by John Travolta -- in drag -- which might be worth of the price of admission.

But what's even cooler, is that John Travolta fans (or people who really like pink sequined dresses sized to fit grown men), can now own the outfits he wore (as Edna) during the movie -- as New Line Cinema has put clothes up for auction on eBay.

Last I heard, bidding was at $1,225 -- which isn't exactly chump change -- and I'm sure it will only get higher, but if you're loaded, or just really want to own something that touched John Travolta, now is your chance! Bid bid bid!
