Report: Katy Perry and John Mayer "Full On Dating"
Reuniting again after a well-known break-up, Katy Perry and John Mayer have reportedly been spotted cozying up around Tinseltown.
On Saturday (November 10), the on-again couple attended a party at St. Felix in Hollywood to celebrate the birthdays of Hello Giggles blogger Sophia Rossi and "New Girl" co-creator Liz Meriwether. At the bash, the "Wide Awake" singer and her 35-year-old beau looked "so affectionate," according to an Us Weekly source.
The insider noted that they looked to be "full on dating" and continued, "John had his hand on Katy's back a lot, and they were kissing and holding hands."
Also attending the star-studded fiesta were Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling, Nicole Richie, Shannon Woodward, and Zooey Deschanel.
Back in September, Katy and John reunited and were seen at her birthday party last month. A guest revealed, "they were in their own world. She didn't even talk to her friends much. It was just her and John. She's obsessed with him. She said hello to people but then went right back to him."

Alicia Keys Tours the City of Lights
Making the rounds to promote her new album, "Girl on Fire," Alicia Keys performed on the Vivement Dimanche Talk Show in Paris, France on Tuesday (November 13).
The "Falling" singer looked fresh in a sleeveles orange, white, and black dress with pointy heels as she sang and played the piano for the audience. Later, she was spotted arriving at the NRJ Radio Studio where she greeted fans in a black coat, matching scarf, and camouflage pants
Recently, the 31-year-old crooner spoke to Complex about her new album. She says of the record's style, "It's not a departure. It's growth. I love the way that I've been able to go deeper into my lyrics and my songwriting and go to a place I was too afraid to access before."
Earlier, in an open letter on her website, Alicia explained her feelings, sharing, "Before making this record, in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage. I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew. I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a girl on fire, the lion broke free!"

Toni Garrn Looks Weird on the Cover of Vogue Germanys December Issue (Forum Buzz)
I think most of us can agree that Toni Garrn is a beautiful woman. But, she just did not bring it for the cover of Vogue Germany’s December issue. Somehow the picture she teased us with on Twitter back in October is more dynamic than the final cover shot. Her “dead eyes” or “droopy eyes” as forum members seem so fond of calling them, and her dull facial expression kind of ruin the shot and draw all the attention away from her frou frou Alexander McQueen dress.
“I feel like she makes every picture she's in a carbon copy of everything else she's been in,” Psylocke lamented. “The concept itself is nice for the festive season and it would probably have looked okay with someone more expressive.”
Jelavender posted, “The green masthead is a bit random. The model looks lifeless. There is nothing about this cover that screams 'Christmas mood.'”
“Yeah, this cover might have been a lot better if she was a bit more excited looking. I am not convinced,” TREVOFASHIONISTO commented.
First American Vogue, and now German Vogue. What’s with the sad and droopy December covers this year?! If ever there's a time for a smile or a glimmer of excitement in a model's facial expression, it's now.

Kellan Lutz & Sharni Vinson's Passionate Smooch Session
Showing some love to his leading lady, Kellan Lutz gave his girlfriend Sharni Vinson a smooch goodbye in Santa Monica, CA on Tuesday (November 13).
The 27 year-old hunk looked casually cool in dark jeans, a brown leather jacket and a hat as he escorted his beau out to her car before diving in for a big ol' smoocharoo.
The PDA-filled afternoon comes just after Kellan took to the red carpet to bid farewell to his "Twilight" character, Emmett Cullen.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Lutz was joined by Sharni and his fellow "Twilight Saga" co-stars at Nokia Theatre the previous night to attend the L.A. premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
Thanking all the "Twi-hards" for their incredible support, Kellan tweeted, "So blown away with the unbelievable turn out tonight at the BD 2 premier! I love our FANS! Thx for making this amazing journey possible!"
The production marks the final installment in the wildly popular vampire franchise and will officially hit theaters on November 16.

Marc Jacobs' Implied Masturbation Sunglasses Ad is One of the Reasons I Hate Everything
I think that even when I was in 7th grade, the boys in my class had a better-developed sense of crude humor than the embarassing nudge-nudging on display in Marc Jacobs' latest sunglasses ad.
Duh, of course that dude isn't masturbating in the middle of a city park, and even if he were, why would that compel anyone to buy the sunglasses he's wearing? Marc Jacobs does realize that people normally walk fast in the opposite direction when they see solitary men masturbating in public parks, or public spaces of any kind? I would rather come across a public defecator than a public masturbator, I think.

Alessandra Ambrosio: Katsuya Cutie
Kicking off her week with a delicious dinner out, Alessandra Ambrosio showed up at Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood last night (November 12).
And as always, the Brazilian stunner had everyone's full attention thanks to her lovely legs clad in a pair of sexy thigh-high boots and striped black stockings teamed with a funky black nad white dress and a fur gilet.
In a recent interview, Alessandra shared that her daughter Anja has become more and more interested in clothing as she's gotten older.
"In the morning she likes to pick out her own clothes. She'll definitely be a little fashionista. She has a very strong personality already."

Nicole Kidman Covers DuJour Winter 2012
Taking a break from filming her upcoming movie "Grace of Monaco," Nicole Kidman garnered herself some added exposure by covering the Winter 2012 issue of DuJour magazine.
The 45-year-old actress looked stunning in a cashmere MAX MARA cardigan for the Patrick Demarchelier shot front page while opening up about everything from her relationship with Tom Cruise to being a mother.
A few highlights from Miss Kidman's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to DuJour !
On filming "Eyes Wide Shut:"
"It was an exhausting project, but in the end everyone felt they accomplished something special. I know critics think the movie is dark, but I think there is hope. Stanley [Kubrick] was emphasizing the importance of loyalty and commitment in a marriage, that marriage is a relationship that has to transcend sexuality."
On her marriage to Tom Cruise:
"I was totally smitten—I fell madly, passionately in love. I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him. I was so impulsive and naïve… We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another."
On how motherhood has changed her:
"Having my baby has been a healing experience. It took me so long to have a child. I feel enormous gratitude. Sunday has healed an enormous amount in me. It's a very private thing, but she just has."

Why we like it: This look is a perfect go-to day-to-evening look. A brown smoky eye is easy to pull off at work but sultry enough to wear out to dinner.
How to get it at home (for cheap!): Start with your base using Maybelline's Fit Me Foundaion, $5.94, which will even the skin tone without a mask of coverage. To get Marion's metallic brown eye, try NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries, $4.49, which will give you a buildable color that allows you to blend well into the crease while getting deeper color along the lash line. Using Rimmel London's Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil, $3.19, line the upper and lower lashline and waterline. Blend the kohl into a thicker line in the outer third of your upper lash line and layer it with more of the bronze pencil for more depth.

One trick, if you're short on cash and products, is to make your lipstick do double duty.

Target and TFI Make Us a $25,000 Offer We Can't Refuse
American retailer Target has been showing a lot of Canadian love recently, with its TIFF pop-up hotel and media haven at Toronto Fashion Week. Still, the publicity is kind of expected given that, come Spring 2013, the retailer is planning to open its first stores this side of the border, taking over any old Zellers' haunts and throwing down a few extra red dots across major cities (four locations will open in Toronto in alone). It's a highly anticipated immigration, especially given that we Canadians have so far been barred from purchasing all that coveted Target x Designer merch, like the Missoni or Neiman Marcus collabs. Sigh.
But let's turn those frowns upside down because Target is finally on the horizon, pulling some new collaborations and labels from emerging Canadian designers in tow. You see, Target is teaming up with the Toronto Fashion Incubator and its New Labels Design Competition, which gives budding designers a chance to create a line to be sold exclusively at its Canadian stores in 2014. What's more, the TFI New Labels winner will receive a $25,000 cash award from TFI supporter and philanthropist Suzanne Rogers, as well as a full-page editorial feature in Flare magazine.
"The main thing here is that these young designers really need help in the early years. Target is a respected retailer and to have this opportunity for the winner is really going to benefit the award recipient," Rogers said in a press release.
The competition has been featuring the hottest up-and-coming design talent in Canada since it first started in 1992. Last year's winner was Edmonton native Sid Neigum, whose androgynous looks have gone on to find favour at many Fashion Weeks.
Pictured: Last years' winner Sid Neigum at TFI's 25th anniversary gala.
"We are always looking for ways to elevate the competition, and we are thrilled to have Target on board to support New Labels this year," said Susan Langdon, executive director of the not-for-profit TFI. "With a guaranteed in-store collection on the line, the stakes are even higher for our young designers. Target is known for their exclusive designer partnerships, and we are so pleased to be able to be able to give one of our own such an amazing opportunity. These young Canadian designers are hungry and they’re hungry for recognition, hungry for attention and hungry to have retailers notice them."
Are you one of those hungry designers? If so, I recommend you visit the TFI website and request an application stat! They're also running a one-day seminar this Wednesday so you can get all the insider details on putting together a winning collection. What are you waiting for?

Bella Freud's UK Pop-Up Store
There’s pretty much no guessing the direction of your career trajectory when both of your parents are leading creatives, and so, it came as no surprise as we watched London based designer, Bella Freud successfully dabble in an array of artistic fields over the years. Her designer credentials are further solidified by the fact that style icons Kate Moss, Sophie Dahl, Alexa Chung, Courtney Love, and Madonna can be named amongst her customers. Remember that quirky Je t’aime Jane sweater which Alexa wore for the press day at the Bicester village? Well, that was a Freud!
First-Ever Boutique
Bella Freud has just exclusively opened her first-ever boutique, in the form of the long awaited pop-up store at the Bicester Village, and we’re guessing that it’s set to be a massive hit amongst shoppers. The store is filled to the brim with much sought-after goodies such as her fab knits and cute household items to adorn your house with — those limited-edition scented candles are a must! Although there’s been no official announcement regarding the opening of a permanent store, upon the launch of the pop-up, Bella herself admitted that she’d very much like to open one up, with her ideal location being London’s Mount Street.
Freud’s Staples
She’s widely acclaimed for her gorgeous knits and tailored suits, which upon first glance are aesthetically typically English, but really, they have been injected with that edgy Freud style. Her most recently available AW/12 collection was actually inspired by old Vegas signs in neon graveyards in American, and you can’t get quirkier than that! If you can’t make it down to the Bicester village, you can always shop her collection online.

Arizona Muse and Louis Vuitton Show Off the Art of Travel [VIDEO] (Forum Buzz)
Louis Vuitton has always been famous and iconic for its travel bags, trunks, and accessories, and this month they’re bringing “the art of travel” to life with a multi-media campaign featuring Arizona Muse. Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the campaign, which they’re calling “l’Invitation au voyage,” or “Invitation to Travel,” at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The campaign consists of print, film, and digital offerings.
“It's always a pleasure to see Inez & Vinoodh shooting a Louis Vuitton campaign. This is no exception,” wrote mikel.
ParisFashionMuse noted that “the colors are beautiful. Love this campaign.”
“This whole campaign is so flawless, both the print ads and the video,” Psylocke posted. “Arizona looks beautiful and the whole mood created in this is so nice. The shots with the hot air balloon are awesome!”
The campaign images are great and convey a subtle sort of moodiness, but the video actually feels a bit sinister to me. Even so, it’s still good. Here it is for your view pleasure (or displeasure?).
Do you love it? Hate it? Feel indifferent about it? Don't be shy about letting us know.

Lea Michele Talks Career on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"
Dishing about a possible new career, Lea Michele made an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Monday (November 12).
The "Glee" star looked sultry in a black skirt and cropped, leather top as she took a seat next to the late night funnyman to dish about her love of food.
When asked about wanting to have her own cooking show, Lea gushed, "I love to cook so much. Maybe I think I might be better than I am because I cooked something for my boyfriend (Cory Monteith) the other day and I don't think he really liked it."
However, good cook or not, Miss Michele is still interested in taking her talents to the television, but it may not exactly be so family friendly.
"I'm Italian and we curse a lot when we talk so I just feel like it wouldn't last," Lea said, adding, "We would have to be on cable because it would be like 'this pasta is so bleeping good.'"
To hear what else the brunette beauty had to say, check out the videos below!

Victoria's Secret to Pull Karlie Kloss' Native American Headdress Look For Broadcast
Victoria's Secret has officially apologized, via Facebook and Twitter, for the really, really awful Native American headdress/bikini look they showed on model Karlie Kloss at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week. They've promised to cut the entire look from the December broadcast "out of respect." The company said it had "no intention to offend anyone."
Karlie Kloss followed up the brand's apology with one of her own: "I am deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone. I support VS's decision to remove the outfit from the broadcast."
Although I'm glad Victoria's Secret and Karlie both apologized, and also that the look will be cut from the runway broadcast, I don't think we should let either party off the hook so easily. This is the second time in recent weeks that a pretty, fashion-y white girl has worn a headdress replica like this as part of a major pop culture event; the item also made an appearance during a climactic scene in Lana Del Rey's Ride, a strange and tone-deaf moment in a video that was otherwise deeply affecting. The whole cultural appropriation thing is a serious and common problem, and Tweeting out a quick statement shouldn't be enough to address it.
The headdress as fashion accessory relies on and reinforces stereotypes of Native Americans, a minority culture and race which the United States destroyed to build itself as an empire. I don't know anything, but I do know that the headdress belongs to a specific spiritual practice, and commodifying it to sell corporate panties for Christmas — or a pouty-lipped pop star's latest albums — fits nicely into the genocide-y, pillage-y relationship America has with American Indians.
I'm just saying that maybe saying, "I'm sorry I like, offended you or whatever," isn't good enough. No: be sorry for being racist! Or ignorant and thoughtless, at least. Any other kind of apology is just smart, politically correct PR.
