At the same time, anyone who recommends a mate before the end of September will automatically be …
Vanity Fair recently featured their pick of "Hollywood’s Next-Gen" as they called them. Guaranteed to make ol’ Bradders and Deppchops feel past their prime, it’s a list of up-and-coming stars and with names like Channing Tatum and Shia LaBeouf we wont forget them in a hurry. Also featured was Last Days star Michael Pitt (above) in a collection of eleven …
One of our Shiny Media writers professed to bidding up to £80 on eBay for this book, before being outbid which shows you what an essential it is. Thank heavens for the reissue of this classic, or rather thank the V&A, which is reissuing the book as part of its Golden Age of Couture exhibition for the rather more affordable …
Call me ignorant, but does "summer fashion" really apply to men? Whereas women get all sorts of colourful dresses, tops, skirts etc., blokes are lumbered with shorts and t-shirts. It’s not really fair is it? It’s why I love autumn/winter collections – there’s a lot more to choose from, simply because the colder months need more clothes to keep you …
I suppose all that black does get a bit monotonous, doesn’t it? When he’s not crushing rebel scum or trying to convince Luke to join the Darkside, I’m sure Darth likes to kick back and slip into something more comfortable. Although I didn’t think that something would be as garishly camp as this. From the looks of their badass uniforms, …
Carlos Dengler, bassist with New York indie oufit Interpol is set to be a movie star after landing a role as a drug dealer in My Friends Told Me About You, a Chicago based thriller that Dengler will also be producing . Other than making great music, Interpol also have to be the snappiest dressers in the music biz at …
The greatest thing about this time of year is now – officially – the summer sales. It used to be stripping down to nothing but your shorts and splaying yourself out on the beach, relaxing in the beer garden with a jug of overpriced Pimms or just having a muck about in the park with a Frisbee. But just look …
It’s that time of year again when the nominations for the Most Useless, sorry, Mercury Prize are announced. The Mercury Prize has an impressive track history of bestowing its paper weight on bands and singers who go on to do absolutely nothing of note after their "win". Talvin Singh? Ms Dynamite? Franz Ferdinand? Er, M People? Speak up please, we …
Justin Timberblake was recently spotted wearing an awesome shirt bearing the RVCA logo (pronounced ROO-KA) shortly after picking up a cheque for £35 million pounds from his managers as payment for his 101-show tour of the world. And even if the Michael Jackson-mimicking lothario drops out of the tour, he still pockets the lot. Wish I could get a contract …
Despite his acting ability and the fact that he’s appeared in some cracking films over the past few years, Djimon Hounsou has yet to become a household name. The talented actor has appeared alongside Russell Crowe in Gladiator and, more recently, co-starred with the big-faced-small-headed man-child Leonardo DiCaprio in the acclaimed Blood Diamond, being Oscar nominated for his role in …
Is that Marge Simpson in Chanel? With Linda Evangelista behind her? And Homer Simpson dressed as Karl Lagerfeld in the back? (he’s the one on the left, the ‘real’ one’s on the right). Yep, it seems all your dreams have come true as, in honour of the imminent release of The Simpsons movie, editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, Glenda Bailey, commissioned …
LA Galaxy are hoping to follow up Real Madrid’s success in Beckham shirt sales. His former club sold hundreds of thousands of "Beckham" printed jerseys world wide, earning them millions. Galaxy shouldn’t have too much trouble matching this feat. Much of the merchandising revenue came as a result of sales in the Far East, where followers are loyal to the …
Brand Beckham arrived in LA early this morning to a media frenzy, besieged by paps and fans alike. There are fears that the Beckham name won’t take off in the states – after all he’s a "soccer" player and she’s a jaded "singer" – but judging by the attention they received this morning, that situation is looking increasingly unlikely. David …
I’m surprised it’s actually taken this long to do, but film makers have finally decided to exploit the memory of Jimi Hendrix and make a biopic of his life. Do I hear the sound of Oliver Stone’s little mitts gleefully being rubbed together? I’m guessing "yes". However, we’re not too concerned about the politics of how the film’s going to …
Looking tanned and toned the Beckhams posed for photographer Steven Klein in a raunchy photoshoot days before their arrival in Los Angeles. Wearing skimpy clothes and practising their loved-up poses the Beckhams will be featured in a 9-page spread in the August issue of W magazine, as well as appearing on the cover. This is what W Magazine had to …
The debate about Live Earth rages on with the Guardian calling it a "CO2 yawn" and our very own Hippyshopper giving their tuppence worth. One of the most exciting moments watching Live Earth for me was when I noticed that Kasabian singer Tom Meighan was wearing the Paul Smith ‘Pete Townshend’ shirt we covered on Brandish in April. I’m more …
Scarfaced poker-villain Le Chiffre is the new face of H&M’s latest men’s fashion range. Well, not Le Chiffre, but Mad Mikkelsen, the actor who plays him in Casino Royale. Although personally I think more international terrorists should branch out into the world of high street fashion. Carlos the Jackal fronting Topman? Osama strutting his stuff in Next gear? Why not? …
Justin Timberlake was in the UK last night for the launch of his first clothing collection from his fashion label William Rast. The bash was held at Harvey Nichols, the exclusive stockist of the brand in the UK. Justin started the William Rast brand with childhood friend Trace Ayala and says it’s a little bit Hollywood and a little bit …
What is Daniel Radcliffe trying to prove? Who is he trying to prove it to? Older women? Hell’s Angels? The latest YMCA tribute act? Whoever it is, it’s just not working. Ignoring the "edgy" makeup and cat-lick bumfluff, that waistcoat is obscene. It looks like he’s ripped it off Britney Spears and modified it a bit. All he needs is …
Recent research has confirmed what I have always known when men tote a bag around they generally stuff it full of expensive gadgetry, while women like me like to fill our bags with receipts and snotty tissues. General Insurance’s Andrew Beard said: "Man bags have quickly become a mainstream accessory, helping men lug around their ever more valuable stash of …
