Christian Siriano + Payless = Fierce

 Christian Siriano -- the adorable and talented winner of "Project Runway," season four -- made waves with the shoes he sent down the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier this month. 

The booties and platform pumps, with cone-shaped heels and Gothic details like chains and spikes, came in rich colors like turqouise and brown. And studded handbags rounded out the accessories. (Siriano says Cleopatra was an influence.) 

And they were all created in partnership with -- wait for it -- Payless ShoeSource.

That means that unlike a lot of runway shoes, Siriano's stunners will actually go on sale -- at completely affordable prices. This is just one more example of Payless' partnership with the fashion world. Abaete, Alice + Olivia and Lela Rose have all contributed mini-collections to the mass retailer's shelves.

The only thing we'd change about Christian Siriano for Payless? The fact that we'll have to wait until September, when the line hits stores, to snag a pair.

If you've seen candy panties, well, points to you. But you probably haven't seen candy panties like the ones from Dylan's Candy Bar.

Amid the other dirty, tasty treats on the table, we saw candy underwear that looked just like those candy necklaces you used to wear as a kid! They have them as a thong, a "pouch" (for men), and a bra. It's so wrong, it's right.

If your Valentine likes sugar, Dylan's Candy Bar is a good place for you to shop. Really good. Like, just go there already because they have everything you've never thought of making out of candy made of candy. We put together some of our favorite naughty items in the gallery below to get you started. Have a sweet Valentine's Day!Naughty Treats From Dylan's Candy Bar

Catherine Zeta-Jones juggles work, motherhood, and marriage to a fellow movie star...and always looks stunning.

Calvin Klein Launches Potty-Mouthed Videos To Promote New Underwear Collection



No stranger to controversy, Calvin Klein is launching a series of expletive-ridden videos to promote CK's new men 's X Underwear collection. 

The brand's new microsite, xmarkyourspot.com, features a mini-films with ripped campaign models Kellan Lutz of Twilight fame, Mehcad Brooks from True Blood, Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata. 

Shot by photographer Mikael Jansson and film producer Darius Khondji in New York, the four greased-up and nearly naked men show off the Spring 2010 cotton and microfiber underwear, while baiting viewers with a string of bleep-ed out comments. A sampling, below: 

"You want to see my [bleep]? I'll show you my [bleep], if you show me yours. C'mon, don't be shy. You want to see more, you want some [bleep]ing more? You know you like that [bleep]. It's all about the [bleep]ing Calvin's. Calvin Klein X. Mark your spot." 

Steamy enough for you? 

Fans can also check out behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with each of the hunks, in which they all answer the age-old question, boxers or briefs?, and let us know how they got their bodies CK-ready. 

"You just look at it and it talks sex appeal. I think the fans are really going to go kind of crazy over this," says Lutz, 24, a boxer-briefs man who plays a vampire in the Twilight series. "I had to step away from my candy because I have a candy drawer. I had to be good and put the [gummy bears] away." 

The Calvin Klein X Underwear collection will hit stores in April 2010, at the same time that the print ads will roll out in April issues of magazines and outdoor billboards will pop up in North and South America, Europe and Asia. 

The video ads, which are perhaps too racy for the U.S., will play on MTV in Spain, Italy and the U.K. 

What do you think of the new Calvin ads: appropriately brash or distasteful? Let us know in a comment below.

rfdx Calvin Klein Says Kate Moss Was ‘Difficult’_5

First, Donatella Versace dished on behind-the-scenes catfighting among the legendary supers. Now, Calvin Klein is spilling on a certain mega-model’s bad behavior. 
Klein spoke out on the legendary ’90s Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg campaign and had less than kind words for the waifish supermodel.
“It didn’t go too well. She didn’t like him at all. He was a pleasure. I have worked with so many women, great ones, and Kate was always difficult,” the designer told Telegraph UK.
While Klein does admit that Kate is a “great model” how much trouble is too much when it comes to bad behavior?
Naomi Campbell is notorious for her outbursts. The supermodel’s former agent, John Casablancas, once told Complex magazine, “Naomi has a really nasty side, because of her temperament, her lifestyle and her history. I like her a lot, but I would not work with her again for all the gold on earth. 
“She was abusive with her booking staff and it was unbearable. Naomi is a ‘bad girl,’ but she is also a very, very good person. She must learn how to manage her anger. When she loses it and beats up her nannies or secretaries it causes her trouble.”
In Linda Evangelista’s case, it wasn’t so much bad behavior, but getting her onset that proved to be the issue. “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” she infamously told Vogue’s Jonathan Van Meter.
So while Donatella complains that models today need more ego, we’re betting fashion insiders are done with the unnecessary drama. Just take a look at up-and-comer Karlie Kloss, who landed the Hermés, Oscar de la Renta and Dior campaigns.
The 17-year-old is reportedly a dream to work with. “She’s disciplined and has danceability, repetition and gorgeous legs. And she’s happy to hang up her clothes after each picture,” famed photographer Arthur Elgort raves.
On the other hand, if a little drama means more personality, then Love magazine’s latest issue is chock full of it.
