Making Your Male Model Wear Shorts This Short Should Be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.




Nope, your eyes are not deciving you. That is fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's male model, Baptiste Giabiconi. This photograph was taken in St. Tropez on Friday where Giabiconi and Lagerfeld were photographed talking and walking around.

It is unknown whether or not Giabiconi was wearing the getup for a photoshoot for one of Lagerfeld's lines or if he willingy chose to wear those short shorts. I'm not sure which is worst. Willfully choosing to wear this getup is bad taste on Giabiconi's side. Being forced by Lagerfeld to wear them seems like cruel and unusual punishment that makes me pity Giabiconi.

No man should ever wear shorts that short. Ever.

New Avril Lavigne Music is on it's Way!


According to JustJared.com, Avril Lavigne recently released a statement promising new music in the near future.

In the statement, Lavigne apologizes for the delay which she blames on the need of inspiration so that she can write her own original work. She also explains that she has enough material for two whole albums, making it sound as if she is now in the process of sorting out the songs and slimming down the list.

Lavigne ended her statement by announcing that the new single should be chosen and released soon.

This will be Lavigne's first album since 2007's "The Best Damn Thing".

Are you still a fan of Lavigne? Are you excited about her new music?

Hayley Williams and B.O.B-The best Duo that's Never Met.


Fun fact of the day:

While Hayley Williams and B.O.B. have one of the hottest songs of the year for their duet, "Airplanes", the duo has never actually met in person!

Perezhilton.com has stated that the duo recorded both the song and music video separately and while they have communicated via twitter, both are still waiting to meet in person.

Williams has joked that the song will be performed live via Skype. Hopefully the couple will be able to actually meet in person and perform it together, though!

Check out the video for "Airplanes" below. Now that you know the couple recorded their parts separately, does it change how you feel about the video?

It kind of makes sense to me to see it now. I mean Hayley Williams and B.O.B. pretty much never appear in the same shot together except for a few of the photographs, which would be very easy to photoshop together. Overall they still did an excellent job shooting the video considering the duo never met, though.

Latest Report: Shania Twain to Judge American Idol?


Perezhilton.com is now reporting that the people behind "Idol" are considering asking Shania Twain to take a place at the judges table for the upcoming season.

Shania Twain filled in as a celebrity judge last season. She wasn't completely brutal like Simon can be or bitchy like Kara always was. She was more of a spiced up version of Paula. Twain is also incredibly talented and has had much success in country music, which has quickly become one of "Idol"'s favorite musical genres. I think she would really know how to detect talent. I think she would be a pretty okay judge. Not as good as Perez, but a huge improvement over J.LO or Jessica Simpson.

What do you think about Shania Twain as a possible judge for American Idol? Do you think she'd be good or do you think they should keep looking? Is anyone getting as tired as I am about the different reports? Don't you wish they'd just make up their minds already?!?

Mariah Carey to be Next American Idol Judge?


According to Perezhilton.com, Mariah Carey may be considering taking a new job as an American Idol judge, and her husband, Nick Cannon, is fully supporting the diva!

Nick Cannon has mentioned that Carey has been talking about how much she'd love to be a judge, but is questioning whether or not she has the time.

There's been no word yet on whether or not Carey has been offered the job. If she is offered the job it will be in replace of the now dropped J.Lo.

Would you like to see Mariah Carey as a judge on the next season of American Idol? Do you think she would do a good job? While Carey is undoubtedly musically talented, I don't think she would be a right fit for American Idol. She is a bit too stuck up and I think she would be annoying to watch week after week on TV, rather than entertaining.

Yeah, I'm still team Perez!!!!!!

Sharpie Invents New Semi-Erasable, Scantron Sheet Friendly Pen


Just in time for the new school year, Sharpie has announced that it will be releasing a semi-erasable, semi-permanent pen. The pen will only remain erasable for a 72 hour period. Ink that has not been erased from surfaces after this allotted time will then become permanent.

For those of you that hate writing in pencil, but need a friendly alternative for those annoying Scantron sheets that college professors love giving out, you too, are in luck, as these may just be the only known Scantron-sheet friendly pens available! Erasable, scantron sheet friendly, and still a pen? I'm a fan already!

These pens will not be released until September, but some office supply stores such as Office Max are actually taking pre-orders. They will be sold for $5 a pack.

This Halloween, dress like your favorite whore/manwhore from the Jersey Shore!


CocoPerez.com has just posted an article about a new line of Jersey Shore inspired Halloween costumes debuting this year. The costumes are available for The Situation, Snookie and DJ Pauly D. The costumes include Snookie's infamous slutty little dressys along with her now retired "poof", The Situation's over-exposed abs attatched to a black wifebeater that reads "The Situation", a gelled-out wig for DJ Pauly D along with headphones and an outfit that closely resembles that of The Situation, only not quiet as buff.

The line is available at Costume Craze. The costumes range in price from $14.99-$29.99. Pre-orders are being taken on the official website,

Are you planning on dressing up as your favorite whore/manwhore from The Jersey Shore this Halloween? Are you willing to shell out some cash, or are you planning to just make your own costume? Personally I think these costumes are a waste of money, as they seem pretty easy to replicate with at-home products.

Jennifer Lopez No Longer Being Considered as a Replacement Judge for "Idol"


Perezhilton.com is reporting that Jennifer Lopez is no longer being considered as a replacement judge for Kara Dioguardi/Simon Cowell. The singer/actress's lavish demands are being blamed for this decision.

Now that J.LO is out of the picture, who do you think should be a new judge? Jessica Simpson was apparently really close to sealing a deal with the American Idol team, so that wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if they decided to offer it to her. For the love of God, I hope they choose to go in another direction, though. I don't think I'll be able to bear hearing the idiotic stupid nonsense that comes out of her mouth for an entire season.

I'm still team Perez Hilton. I mean, he's definitely not afraid to speak his mind and make fun of people, but he knows good talent when he sees it. He has experience in the music industry as he has his own record label with signed acts such as the french singing sensation, Sliimy, and he is very controversial, which makes for good entertainment. Team Perez all the way!

Levi Johnston to Run for Mayor of Wasilla?


Both Tmz.com and Perezhilton.com are reporting that Levi Johnston is planning on running for mayor of his hometown, Wasilla. Of course Johnston is not doing it because of his raging love and interest for politics and the people of Wasilla. Johnston could care less about the people of his hometown. He's just doing it for publicity and hopes of generating high viewership for his new reality show! In fact, Perezhilton.com is reporting that it was not even Johnston's idea to run to begin with. He's just doing it at the suggestion of his reality show's producer!

Disgusting.

Would you like to see Johnston as mayor of Wasilla? Do you believe he would actually make a good politician? What about his reality show? Do any of you actually care to see it? Personally I think Johnston's 15 minutes of fame ended a looooong time ago and I would be really surprised if he actually won the election and if his reality show actually became a success.

Kanye West to Perform at 2010 VMA'S


According to Perezhilton.com, Kanye West is scheduled to perform at the 2010 Video Music Awards.

Wow, great idea! Because you know, it's not like Kanye West ruined the awards show last year or anything...

I saw MTV gets Taylor Swift to perform...during Kanye West's performance! You know, she can be like "I'm gonna let you finish, but I just wanna say I had the best VMA performance of all time, OF ALL TIME!", That'd be pretty epic, right? Taylor Swift's new album is coming out soon anyway, she needs the free publicity!
