Whatever opinions someone may have concerning the tireless animal rights organization PETA one thing is for certain, no one can ever say they don't try.

We're fans of the Adidas by Stella McCartney line, so we were excited to read over at That's Fit that the sports brand has a new yoga line coming out that was designed with celebrity yogini Rainbeau Mars.

He's back, people! After causing a scene at the Agatha Ruiz de La Prada show in Milan a couple of weeks ago, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego -- gay Austrian fashion journalist Bruno -- popped up at the Stella McCartney show in Paris to create a bit of mayhem for the cameras.

Vogue UK reports: "With his red thong clearly visible above his jeans, the comedian - who was virtually unrecognisable in a flamboyant leather gilet, with his slicked-down hair dyed blonde and brown - sucked Tampax, clapped along to the music and generally disgruntled the front row by continually pushing aside those sitting in front of him for a better look at the models."

It's worth noting, though, Bruno's attempt to snatch the limelight away from the girls in Stella's show didn't work that well, considering the lush designs they were donning were much more fierce than Bruno's runway stomp.

Apparently someone has a crush on Agyness Deyn.

Anya Hindmarch and Sigerson Morrison made handbags and shoes for Target! And you know what? They look good.

Target is building up an impressive roster of designers. Mizrahi started the craze, and since then, top international designers have been flocking to the big red bullseye of cheap chic. Target has previously featured Stella McCartney, Zac Posen, and Luella Bartley, to name just a few.

Stella McCartney, arguably the world's most recognizable vegan designer, had a rather unpleasant surprise after lending a bra from her collection to a stylist -- the bra was worn by a model wearing a real mink coat in an ad for Hockley.

The ads have since been pulled (after Stella threatened legal action), and a source who works with the designer said, "If Stella knew [the bra] was going to be used by Hockley there is no way she would have lent it... [W]hen Stella saw the picture she was furious. She said, 'It goes against everything I stand for.'"

When in the hell did Jackie get so sexy? Just the other day we saw a repeater of that 70's Show (we miss you!) and she was cute but came with frizzy hair and a large, rather annoying voice that made up for her lack in size.

Now there are just no words. Mila Kunis looks absolutely gorgeous in this silver sparkler at the VHA Rock Honors show. And in a land where blondes rule, she sticks out like a sore thumb in a good way... a very good way!

We have seen the yellow and gray combo around for some time now. The sunny hue is completely complimentary of the soft neutral and a perfect pick for those with a cool skin tone. Plus, it's a lot less harsh than its bumblebee side kick, black and yellow.

Try giving some of these mellow yellow looks a whirl.

Elle magazine has teamed up with eco-crusader Laurie David to auction off some Sigg aluminum water bottles decorated by some of fashion's elite designers. Diane von Furstenberg, Kenneth Cole, Stella McCartney and others have decked out each bottle with their own unique doodles and slogans. They even allowed Donna Karan to participate, even though she hates bunnies.

I don't know what they used to apply their designs, hopefully something that doesn't smear -- since I imagine these things will garner some pretty high prices. The auction is being launched in conjunction with Elle's 3rd annual Green Issue, and the proceeds will go to David's stopglobalwarming.org -- bidding starts on April 17.

Stella McCartney has done it again with another fabulous design collaboration, this time with LeSportsac. Her past work has been done with the high fashion label Chloe and also with athletic wear company Adidas.

McCartney is now designing bags for LeSportsac that will be made entirely out of "green" materials, as she always does because she is a die-hard PETA supporter and a vegetarian. All of her "green" bags will be made of non-leather goods and fabrics that are 100% biodegradable.

The adorable Bunny Backpack (pictured) is part of the new collection but if adorable animals aren't for you the collection also has plenty of practical bags as well. With each piece from the collection you can choose from a variety of fabrics to customize the bag, all from the comfort of your laptop.

I may be a woman in my twenties ... late twenties (head hanging in shame) but I really want this bag for myself. But I have a good feeling that these bags will sell fast as they have already been featured in publications like Teen Vogue.

Stella McCartney is at it again. The high profile (and highly prolific) designer has come up with a new underwear range -- and, true to her animal-loving, eco-friendly roots, it's organic!

The collection is meant to have a vintage feel, which gives the sultry skivvies a grown-up sex appeal that says "I'm comfortable in my own skin" without saying "I don't care if I ever have sex again." Plus, the frilly, feminine adornments come with cutesy names like "Poppy Posing" and "Eve Giggling." Um, adorable.

Good news is that the new line hits stores on February 1st -- presumably this means that online retailers will be carrying the lingerie as well. For a full list of locations (both online and off), check out the Stella McCartney website.

As you're probably aware, celebrities don't have to buy most of the designer clothes you see them photographed in at parties or on the red carpet -- as designers often ask high profile people to wear their latest creations as way to promote themselves.

So when Stella McCartney told Heather Mills, that she could only get a 10% discount at her London boutique, she might as well of flipped her former stepmom the bird. In response, Michele Elyzabeth, Mills' "worldwide spokesperson" (whatever that means) released a tersley-worded statement to reporters, lashing back at McCartney, and bemoaning this oh-so-horrible injustice.

But seriously, why is this surprising? Mills has been entangled in a seemingly never-ending legal battle with Stella's dad, Paul, repeatedly refusing to settle for anything less than half of his fortune -- a move that's had her labeled as a gold digger in the English press for weeks. In fact, I can't believe Stella offered her former stepmom any discount at all.

Heather Mills is officially crazy.

Stella McCartney, a long-time advocate for animal rights and a staunch opponent of fur in the fashion industry, is taking her cause to the virtual space. But the new anti-fur protest won't be an email campaign, or an online survey, or even a new website -- it will take place in real time, entirely within Second Life.

Starting on July 12th at 7pm, McCartney will launch a PETA island with the virtual world, and Second Life's millions of users will be invited for a week-long party, where they'll be able to buy virtual veggie burgers, listen to a "live" DJ, and hang out with simulated animals.

Guests who attend the protest will be encouraged to submit anti-fur messages -- similar to PETA's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" mantra -- which will be displayed on the island for all to see. The best ideas will win Stella McCartney prizes, and all purchases made during the protest will support PETA, so if you're an Internet geek who loves animals and is into fashion -- this is your event!

With their signature lightweight, luxury non-leather handbags, LeSportsac seems the obvious choice for a collaboration with PETA-friendly designer Stella McCartney. And in Spring 2008, consumers will be able to purchase just such a compilation, as McCartney and LeSportsac recently announced plans to produce an entire line of handbags, luggage, and baby accessories.

LeSportsac is well-known and loved for their fun and whimsical tote bags, and McCartney has made a name for herself by combining high-end fashion with globally conscious materials and production standards. Famous for her rigid anti-animal products stance, McCartney's design empire boasts a luxurious range of women's ready-to-wear garments, accessories, eyewear, fragrances, and a collaboration with more moderately priced H&M retailers.

The Stella McCartney for LeSportsac collection will be available for purchase at all LeSportsac stores, high-end department and specialty stores nationwide, the Stella McCartney boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and London, and (of course) online. Bags will average in price from $200 to $250.
