We rely on rock stars, rappers--and yes, even reality-show regulars--to set trends. It's a responsibility that, we admit, requires some risk.

But with risk does not always come reward. And at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, we saw more than one example of that.

Here are a few of the valiant red-carpet efforts (and one complete lack thereof, thanks to Fatman Scoop) that we just can't condone:

Remember when the Obama and Clinton ticket was rumored to be the hot item of the fall? Well, it's not. Obama picked Joe Biden (an announcement mistaken by many as a possible booty call) as his running mate for the 2008 election and t-shirts across America went on clearance.

That's what happens in the world of political t-shirts, high risk and high reward. We do think it interesting that the clearance price at Perez Hilton's little boutique is still sixteen bucks (that's an $8 savings!). How is that a clearance price? We like our clearance items to be priced in single digits.

Or, then again, maybe not. After the NY Post reported that superstar designer Marc Jacobs exchanged vows Sunday with his lover Lorenzo Martone in a "civil solidarity pact," we see that celebrity gossip head Perez Hilton is saying it's not true. We don't really know what to believe at this point, except that we somehow tend to believe a gossip blogger over a printed publication. That's kinda newsworthy.

Although Marc and his boyfriend/husband are reportedly "very happy" together, it seems that Marc's way too busy planning for New York Fashion Week in September to set the record straight. Running his own line and acting as creative director for LV have apparently got him too tied up for a honeymoon.

If he did tie the knot, wouldn't he probably have made it known already? Unlike the weddings going on in California, France's civil solidarity pacts are not legally binding -- so maybe they're holding out for a stateside ceremony.

You don't have to be as skinny as Lindsay to wear her leggings, or as crazy. But it helps.

We thought we had to wait until the end of August for the 6126 leggings line, oh-so-originally named for Marilyn Monroe's birthday, to appear at Fred Segal. Hat tip to Perez Hilton for the great news that we can see the first four items and get them early, as in right this minute!

Yes, if you've been dying for a pair of shiny leggings...with built-in, quilted knee pads...named "Mr. President" (Finish the tasteless Friday joke: what's the difference between an egg, meat and a ____ ___? Hint: you can't beat it!) then today is your lucky day.

Get a look at the rest of this traumatic magic in the gallery, or head on over to shop intuition and place your order now, before they're gone. Those leopard ankle gloves are going to fly off the shelves. Absolutely fly.

As predicted by our own Whit Honea, Perez Hilton's celebrity line looks like it's going to crash and burn in true blog-worthy fashion. According to New York Magazine, a grand total of 7 loyal fans showed up at the LA Hot Topic where Perez was hanging out to celebrate the launch. Frankly, we're a little embarrassed for him. Here's what a supposed Hot Topic employee had to say about the fiasco:

"Mario was BEYOND upset texting and DEMENDING the right water,food,ETC he was a rude royal pain in the ass and BEYOND crass... My manager was trying to get people to come in to meet Perez by handing out $5 gift cards NO ONE WANTED TO MEET HIM! ...he left around 8:45PM without saying goodbye to anyone & looked like he had been crying like the little bitch he is. We sold a grand total of $6.45 of Perez Hilton items between 6PM - 9PM. My manager has already talked about discounting his 'line'!"

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really, i.e., not jerky at all.

We were concerned about Hot Topic after seeing their latest addition, but then we realized that they still had plenty of other lines available and that most of them are pretty cool- or in the case of our featured shirt, yummy.

Perez Hilton's new "fashion" line at Hot Topic is geared towards his demographic of readers, young, female and cheap. We think it is also safe to assume that they are easily persuaded to buy crap.

In a video interview and vanity session Perez the pot insults the kettle that is pseudo-celebrity. He basically calls out Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad and claims that his brand smells better. We think they all stink about the same.

Perez Hilton's celebrity gossip website is a guilty pleasure for millions of people around the world. But he's downright nasty to celebrities, making cruel comments on their weight, their fashion choices, their sexuality and more. We feel dirty all over when we read his site, don't you? (And you know what? He sure doesn't have much room to complain about others, given his countless red carpet disasters!)

Now just imagine how dirty you'd feel if you wore his clothes too! Mario Lavandeira is coming out with his own Perez Hilton fashion line.

Ah, Perez Hilton, love him or hate him he's hard to ignore. The gossip blogger extraordinaire recently celebrated his birthday with a big bash and he really went all out for the occasion. Never one to shy away from bright colored hair, Perez paired his newly blue locks with big blue eye makeup courtesy of Talia Shobrook, who works with Stila and also paints the long cateye liner on Amy Winehouse. Now admittedly the eyeshadow is a bit much but considering that I recently saw a piece in Interview magazine about big swoops of eyeshadow that reach far past the eyelids like big wings or strips of fabric, I must just have to say that Perez is cutting edge. The blush however, is another matter entirely.
