Madonna Barely Wears Agent Provocateur on New Single Cover: Along with her droves of loyal fans, Madonna can now count lingerie brand Agent Provocateur as one of her biggest supporters – in the extremely literal sense. No denying that Madge looks gooood on her “Girls Gone Wild” single cover, but we’ve just one caveat: While it’s no secret that some things go south with age, it seems Madonna’s nips have full-on vanished. Life is a mystery… {Telegraph}

Burberry Has 10 Million Facebook Fans and Counting: Compare that to Louis Vuitton which has about 6 million fans and Prada who has 829,000. Let’s hope Burberry doesn’t start playing Farmville and cluttering up everyone’s feed. {Facebook}

Louis Vuitton Is Suing The Hangover 2: LVMH is suing Warner Brothers because of a scene in which Zach Galifianakis’ character says of his bag, “Careful, that is a Louis Vuitton.” Except it’s not.

Rumor: Kanye To Design Stilettos With Giuseppe Zanotti?

by

The news about Kanye West, fashion designer, keeps coming at an alarming rate. The way this is going, we’re going to be walking down Fifth Avenue one day and see a Kanye West flagship store pop up out of nowhere.

Giuseppe Zanotti told Footwear News that Kanye has been making monthly visits to the shoe designer’s factor, spending 10-12 hour there per visit. “[Kanye] loves learning about shoes, both the design and construction, and we’ve tried to design something together. In a couple of months, he could have his own special collection out,” Zanotti said.

Listen: Ice-T’s Wife Coco Lists 16 Shoe Designers In Her New Single “Shoe Freak”

by

Somebody finally thought to give awesome couple Ice-T and Coco an awesome reality TV show, Ice Loves Coco. Coco has always had her own distinct style, which is getting a lot more exposure now that she’s on TV. She’s obviously a fashion lover and now she’s using music to express that love. In her first single, “Shoe Freak,” Coco simply lists shoe designers that she likes–in a breathy sexy voice, of course. Only a short excerpt of the single has hit the internet and in that minute she lists 16 shoe designers, including: Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent, Giuseppe, Gucci, Christian Louboutin, Prada, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Dior, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, Brian Atwood, Sergio Rossi, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton. And that’s just a minute of “Shoe Freak.” Can’t wait to see what the full track has in store… (Via Buzzfeed)
