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!

In the gallery, a few of her gorgeous in gowns.

It's 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday in Los Angeles and as I'm writing this. I'm jet lagged as hell. I can't stay awake past 8:30pm and I keep waking up at dawn (which isn't the normal schedule of my lifestyle). All in all Cannes was a great trip. I really boosted up the portfolio. The gallery is a wrap up of my favorite images from the festival.
Well, those where my last few days of Cannes. I suggest everyone go at least once.

We caught some heat for pointing out that Angelina Jolie looked awful -- no really, just terrible -- in that grey dress at the Cannes premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, and we love when you share them in the comments. Bring it on!

However, we also want to reiterate that our dismay was largely due to the fact that Angelina usually leads the pack when it comes to fashion fabulousness, even while pregnant.

She does have some competition. In the gallery, Angelina's best, plus nine ladies currently vying for the Hottest Mama, Summer 2008 title.

Natalie Portman certainly showed her love of ruffles at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Nearly every dress she wore was covered in them! And while ruffles can be overwhelming, we love so many aspects of this look that we're willing to forget about the fact that you can't tell whether she's got a waist or a baby belly.

We know how you can successfully pull off a look similar to Natalie's -- check out the gallery to get the scoop!

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.

We're so disappointed that this 11 day fashion fest film festival ended yesterday. Every day during the prestigious event we looked forward to waking up and seeing who wore what on the red carpet!

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.

What was she thinking? Celeb fashion disasters Celebs show you how to dress for your body type

Eva, let's talk. Part of being a ridiculously beautiful supermodel is having a body you can flaunt. No one is judging you for this, but there's a difference between suggestively sexy and "I wanted to show up in my underwear, but I figured that wouldn't be cool -- so I wore this!"

With the good, you have to take the bad. We just finished our top 5 best dressed list for the first half of Cannes, and now it's time for the worst of the bunch.

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.

Hmmm. Perhaps this is one of those dresses that looks better in person. Because if Angelina knows anything, it's how to dress herself for maximum flatteringness. Usually.

Somehow, this gown, which she wore to the premiere of The Changeling, her new film with Clint Eastwood that sounds dirge-like and award-winning, misses the mark for us.

True, we're not fans of Angie. We find her rather humorless and superior. However, she works hard for humanitarian causes, and she's enceinte so we'll try to find a positive angle.

Despite the dreary color and trashbag shape, the embellished neck on Angelina's gown draws attention up to her Madonna-like smile and glowing skin.

Of course, we could see it better if she'd bothered to put her hair up.

So far Woody Allen's new movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has been a huge success at Cannes. There was a ten minute standing ovation after the film's debut, and critics and fans alike have applauded the film's stars from the moment they stepped on the red carpet.

Well, some of the film's stars, anyway -- Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall got to enjoy the praise, but Scarlett Johansson didn't make the trip to Cannes this year because the studio wouldn't accommodate her requests.

I drove around in a scooter all day and nearly all night searching for the talented and fashionable. It rained and rained nearly all day. Wet streets, tuxedos and a dumb American who can't read the street signs spells disaster. But I've done alright so far. I had to lay her down once while I was parking because I accidentally pushed on the gas while breaking.

No Scrapes, no foul.

The Blindness after party at the Beach 3.14 was packed and vibrant. Beautiful well dressed people drink champagne and eat caviar. A splendid mix of tourists, executives, French locals, models and actors pack these beachfront restaurants-turned-all-night-dance parties. Julianne Moore stayed in the corner with the Focus Features clan while Danny Glover danced with the locals.
