Wearing John Malkovich
John Malkovich is a much-revered actor, but did you know he also designs clothes?
While everyone from J.Lo to Jaclyn Smith have fashion lines, many are not aware the Oscar winner started a clothing company called Mrs. Mudd in 2003 and now designs a menswear collection entitled Uncle Kimono.
Uncle Kimono features sweaters, hats, ties, t-shirts and even made to order suits.
Malkovich's creations are inspired by characters he's played in movies, political figures, Beatles songs and even Martha Stewart!
John designed a "Free Martha" chocolate brown boiled wool coat that retails for $1665. Malkovich created what he said was "an elegant coat to wear in front of the courthouse during the Martha Stewart trial." Now that's a 'good thing!'
Celeb fans of Uncle Kimono include Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem.
A portion of sales from Malkovich's clothing line benefits the performing arts and a selected group of playhouses across the world.

Nicole Richie Kate Moss Wannabe?
The sunglasses. The shorts. The boy toy. Seems Nicole Richie has a brand new fashion influence these days, legendary supermodel Kate Moss.
Nicole was spotted cruising the streets of Beverly Hills yesterday with a new mystery man, who bears a very close resemblance to Kate's sweetheart, rocker Pete Doherty. Maybe Nicole is hoping the mimicry will land her on the same stellar career path as her hero ... minus the crazy drug scandals, of course.

'Desperate' For Attention?
Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton were swarmed by photogs yesterday, which begged the question, who actually cares about them to warrant such attention?
After shopping at the new kitson Men store (sure to be a new paparazzi staple), the two emerged in "shock" at the number of photogs waiting for them, Nicollette exclaiming, "Oh my God, you guys are multiplying!"
The entourage of shutterbugs got so large they appeared to form a parade around the couple as they walked down Roberston Blvd., in the middle of the actual street.
While we understand a few shots of the happy couple may be worth some money, is it really necessary to form a moving wall in front of them, taking their picture for a good 10 minutes? Are there really that many Michael Bolton fans still? We think not.

Nic's Tattoo Fix
How many tattoos does Nicole Richie have?
Nicole Richie sports nine (at least) tattoos on her body, Stephanie. The favorite seems to be this rosary she had tattooed around her ankle. She also has a spider-shaped one on her lower stomach, as well as a pair of ballerina slippers she got in honor of the song her father, Lionel Richie, wrote for her. (For you young'ins, that song was "Ballerina Girl.")
Make sure not to miss out on Nicole's fab photo gallery!
Piven, Spade and Lovitz's SuperEXcellent Night
With the opening of Kitson Men, male celebs are getting to experience the joys of a photographed shopping trip just like Lindsay, Paris and Nicole have enjoyed for years.
On Wednesday, metrosexuals (remember that word?) like Jeremy Piven and, er, Jon Lovitz came out for the launch of Krista Allen's, the actress formerly known as George Clooney's girlfriend, t-shirt line called SuperEXcellent at the brand new Kitson Men shop.
Lovitz's former "SNL" co-star David Spade, who, believe it or not, used to date Krista as well, and Chris Farley's brother were also on hand for the fashion frenzy.

Julia Roberts' Family Outing
Forget Prada, Gucci or Fendi. Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder are all about the very trendy baby bags.
The happy couple made a trip out to a friend's beach house in Malibu on Sunday with their twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and with them brought a bunch of day luggage. Julia has been laying low these days and spending time with her family after opting not to star in "Ocean's 13."
With twins just about to hit those terrible twos, we're guessing those bags are filled with lots of toys to keep their little ones occupied.

Paltrow Wears a Bag, er, Sweatshirt Over Her Head
The normally camera-friendly Gwyneth Paltrow decided to cover up her golden locks and hide behind a sweatshirt and umbrella as she made her way inside LAX yesterday.
Fortunately for Gwyneth the Oscar winner didn't run into anyone while her vision was- how you say- impaired.

Kate Goes From Supermodel to Super Designer
Kate Moss' supercareer keeps on getting better and better.
After appearing in 14 advertising campaigns for everyone from Versace to Calvin Klein to Burberry this year, Kate is reportedly set to design outfits for the UK retailer Topshop. Rehab never looked so good!
While Kate may be used to wearing clothes from high end designers, Topshop has more in common with Gap than Gucci.
But that shouldn't be a problem for the fashion icon. Last week, Kate set off a shopping frenzy when she was photographed carrying a $5 bag from a drugstore chain. The bargain bin Balenciaga quickly sold out across England.
And Moss' lack of design experience shouldn't be a hindrance either, because, "Project Runway" be damned, that hasn't stopped fellow fashionistas like Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani and Diddy from succeeding in the biz.
So as we await to see what the House of Moss will create, let's just hope the designs come in sizes other than small, petite and waif.

Heather, Where's the Skirt?
The shoppers at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills were given a little show on Tuesday afternoon. Heather Locklear was out (emphasis on out) and about shopping when paparazzi snapped this beautiful photo.
Why Heather was out shopping wearing only this translucent skirt with what appears to be no underwear is beyond us. Maybe she was wearing a thong. Basically, at this point, the only thing we are sure of is that Heather may be without her rocker, but her bod is still rockin'!
Fall '06 Fashion Preview
Just because it's 80 degrees, sunny and humid doesn't mean it's too early to start thinking about your fabulous fall wardrobe. While summer is all about wearing as little as possible, you don't want September to roll around and find your outfit choices fading as fast as your tan. Here are some of this fall's must-have trends.
Skinny Jeans
The slim legged 80s trend that began this spring will continue to blow up this fall. The jeans should gather at the bottom - almost like they are 4" too long- otherwise they just look 70s tight.
Will look great on: any member of the cult of Rachel Zoe i.e. Nicole, Lindsay, Mischa and all other Robertson wonder waifs. Paris too, if she ever covered up her legs!
