Britney is back indeed! We can't wait to see the MTV special. Her new album "Circus" is scheduled for release on December 2rd, and the songs were just leaked all over the internet. And sure, they sound okay, but we predict that the big fuss will be over everyone copying the long, blond, old school glamor waves she wears on the album cover.

Britney Spears is on her way up the charts again and we're rooting for her to make this comeback a good one! She's obviously worked hard to get in shape because her body is looking amazing and plus, someone finally fixed those nasty extensions she had in for so long! We just have one little issues with her these days.

First, let's meet the contestants. Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and the current VP candidate on John McCain's GOP ticket. What? Some people really don't know that.

Tina Fey is the brains behind NBC's hilarious show "30 Rock" and lots of other stuff.

To be clear, they are not the same person.

In regard to the above video, don't worry, Wahlberg gets his.

Now for the contest!

Do you love to do dramatic hair and makeup for Halloween costumes? And do you equally love teling people about how you created this masterpiece? Have you always wanted to make a "get the look" video?

If this is your dream, then here is the competition for you: the BeautyChoice.com Halloween Video Contest.

Now is your chance to put lipstick on a wig (but it's still a wig)! The Sarah Palin wigs and hairstyles are here- finally (McCain's hairstyle will be here soon enough, stupid male pattern baldness). Wigs not recommended for Pit Bulls.

The wigs were no trouble, no trouble at all- in fact they were already in stock. No they weren't leftover Tina Fey costumes (see glasses), but they did have a famous face attached to them.

Would you believe Raquel Welsh?

WigSalon is marketing their Raquel Welsh style wigs as a great Sarah Palin alternative. "Simply bobby pin back the upper layers of the Raquel Welch's new Valentine wig style, which is truly beautiful in it's [sic] own right, and let the longer layers fall freely."

In between the hubub of Fashion Week parties and runway shows were celebrity meet and greets -- events where designers or celebrities with clothing lines mixed with press and fans. My favorite was the one by Heidi Klum held at Bloomingdales in New York City's Upper West Side. She was super nice to all the reporters, switching effortlessly from English to German depending on the nationality of whoever she was speaking with.

Created by visual effects master James Lima, Prada's new "Fallen Shadows" video brings to life the Autumn/Winter 2008 collection with an animation sequence that references surrealist artists like Dali.

A little bit creepy--thanks to the out-of-place Antony and the Johnsons soundtrack--and a little bit dreamy.

Do you dare wear short shorts? Kirstie Arnold does, and for that she's going to jail. Of course, Arnold also dares to get arrested for drugs, harassment and running over tombstones while driving through a cemetery, allegedly, but that is beside the point.

Fashion Week is in full swing, and gorgeous models are strutting their stuff in stunning designer wares. Most runway shows are the pinnacle of poise and grace -- but let's be real: those are some serious heels, and tumbles, trips or the occasional face plant are inevitable. Here's our top 10 favorite fiascoes, starting with Miss America's topple at the most recent Miss Universe pageant (and if you thought that was bad -- just wait 'till you see what happens when there's a gaping hole for the models to contend with!).

As the popular 80s hip hip group Whodini once said: "Friends, how many of us have them?"

Well, we're not sure how many cool or riddiculous friends Elettra Wiedermann and Chris Benz have between them, but we do know the two are very, very fond of each other.

Before Elettra packs up all of her things in New York to study biomedicine at The London School of Economics and Political Science this fall, Style.com managed to snag a interview with her and designer Chris Benz.

In ths clip, watch as the buddies giggle, talk about how awesome the other one and discuss a little bit of fashion in between. Enjoy.

Zulema's Spring 2009 show won't take place on a runway--it will be posted on the Internet. For the second year in a row, independent womenswear designer Zulema Griffin will eschew the traditional models-on-a-catwalk presentation in favor of a high-concept video. (The short film will go live on her site on September 9, right in the thick of New York Fashion Week.) Titled "The Revolution Will be Realized," Griffin says the live-action interpretation of her spring line will tell the story of her struggle as an African-American designer as she tries to balance tradition with innovation. (For a taste of what's to come, check out Zulema's video from Fall 2008 above.)

A former model and Project Runway contestant, Griffin's specialties include richly-hued cocktail dresses and dressed-up, suit-inspired separates. And while we love to witness fashion unfold in the flesh, we have to applaud her high-concept (and highly democratic) approach to showing her collections. A fashion show that doesn't require a formal invitation, waiting in a mile-long line and sweating under sweltering lights? Count me in.

Some guys wear a suit every day for work. Most likely, these fellas know what to look for in a good suit -- they're surrounded by them, and they've probably suit shopped more than once. But a lot of men wear suits only for certain occasions -- weddings, funerals, and maybe interviews -- and these are the guys we're talking to today.

If you're only going to have one suit hanging in your closet, make it the right suit. Whether you choose one that's hot or hideous, you're going to be spending a chunk of change on it, so you might as well look your best. And, take a cue from GQ -- dress like Cary Grant.

You've seen them. The fanboy's and women-children walking around with heavy eyeliner and day-glo Doc Martens -- sporting some bizarre second layer of skin that only seems appropriate to wear at night and with sunglasses.

JCPenny has done one of two things for John Hughes fans, either they've brought back a great memory and provided a chuckle or they've killed a piece of their youth. Results may vary.

The new ad for JCP features a bunch of teens recreating some of the more memorable scenes from Hughes' classic movie The Breakfast Club. We LOVE The Breakfast Club so we feel very strongly that we should hate this commercial, but as embarrassing as it is for us to admit- we don't.

The following commercial was banned from television and may not be suitable for work:



Eva Mendes seems to be everywhere lately, and almost always naked. We aren't complaining.

The above video (assuming that YouTube hasn't pulled it for boob-related reasons) is an ad for Calvin Klein's latest fragrance for women, Secret Obsession. It was banned from television due to some finding it a bit steamy- and nipply.
