There was a serious "Grapple in the Apple" last week, when reigning tennis champs Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal met at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City's Time Square. Unfortunately, they weren't there just to provide great eye candy - but to promote their up coming match during the U.S Open. As you can imagine, they looked young, handsome and rich - but all eyes were glued to the old, quirky and loud man who was moderating the meeting: Don King.

Ever heard of Siren Music Festival? It's a legendary indie music fest that takes place annually in New York City and has featured acts like M.I.A, The Donna's and Death Cab for Cutie. This year, the bands which performed were just as fierce, including Broken Social Scene, Ra Ra Riot and Beach House.

Whether it's fights with celebrities, snarky judges, or a transgendered model, America's Next Top Model always knows how to attract controversy -- and ratings! But that's exactly what makes Jaslene Gonzalez, who won the show in 2007, such an anomaly: she brings zero drama!

Throughout the show she was cool, calm and actually friendly, proving that nice girls can finish first. I caught up with her at a private party in New York City and after marvelling over how good she looked in a simple tee and jeans, I had to ask her what winning strategy the contestants can use this season. "Take it as a learning experience. That's what it is. Go in there like a sponge, be open minded. But at the same time be confident and know what your objective is. My objective was to win."

You were actually able to stop staring at the picture above and start reading this post? You have my full respect. I on the other hand, could barely write after getting an eyeful of these male models in all their semi-naked glory. But perhaps that's exactly what FreshPair, the online underwear retailer, was going for when it planned this fashion show in honor of National Underwear Day.
