The Jersey Shore‘s Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino Inks Six-Figure Deal To Front Tuxedo Line Called…’The Situation’

Most of the Jersey Shore girls (and Pauly D)have delved into fashion in one way or another but we didn’t see the Situation following suit. And for formal wear at that.

Nevertheless, today brings word that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has just signed on to be the face of FLOW Formal tuxedos. The Sitch raked in an easy six figures for the deal, TMZ is reporting.

“This is great for us and great for the industry,” FLOW Formal CEO Brian Weintraub told TMZ. “[Tuxedos have] become an old man thing.” So the company is looking to Sorrentino to rake in that youth market. Young men, would you buy a tux from the Situation (or ladies, would you let your men)?

The Celebrity Tanning Spectrum: Where Do You Fall?

We were so inspired by the celebrity tanning spectrum spectacle in London–which Pippa and her “royal mocha” tan won by a landslide–that we decided to do our own US celebrity version. Read on for a full analysis of the celebs and their level of bronze glow. Whose tan do you aspire to?

JWOWW Does Tie Dye Hair: Now We’re Officially Over It

OK, now this is getting ridiculous. Another Jersey Shore girl has embraced multi-colored strands, to rather tacky effect. We loved it on Lauren Conrad. We still thought it was cute on Snooki (there’s just something cute about Snooki, generally.) But now JWOWW debuted a new look while frolicking on the Jersey Shore, and it’s not good.

They look like clip-in extensions gone wrong, and the colors are horrible. Dark brick red and dirty orange? The colors just seem really harsh.

Snooki Expands Her Clothing Empire With Pickle Print Flip-Flops

Snooki Expands Her Clothing Empire With Pickle Print Flip-Flops

If you thought Snooki was too busy causing a ruckus in Florence filming the latest season of Jersey Shore to focus on her branded empire, think again. She’s expanded her footwear line (which up until now consisted of leopard print slippers) to include flip-flops and wedges.

The line is set to launch for holiday 2011, Footwear News is reporting, and will retail for $15 to $50. A second collection is already in the works for spring 2012. Footwear News has a preview of some of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s new beach footwear designs, and they are Snooki to the core: one pair is pink with green pickles while the others are a bit fancier with a ruched thong and leopard print soles (think: fist pumping at the club, with the added benefit of a diminished risk of falling). We’re not exactly expecting high fashion from Polizzi. Her products are true to who she is and affordable. And that’s nice.

On another note, Lauren, have you seen the cast in Florence? Are they at Pitti chilling with the Mulleavy’s?

Fashion News Roundup: Pre-order Chloe Sevigny X Opening Ceremony, Snooki’s Slippers and Nicole Richie Wed in Marchesa

Get it While You Can: Chloe Sevigny’s latest collection for Opening Ceremony is available to pre-order until December 20 on Opening Ceremony’s website. There are handbags, sunglasses, t-shirts, adorable dresses and many to die for shoes. One item we don’t quite understand, however, is a lookbook on sale for $65. If you want something from the collection, which you do, pre-ordering is probably your best bet for actually getting it, as these collections tend to sell out pretty quickly. {Opening Ceremony}

Jen Brill’s Makeup Routine: Photo/Styling agent Jen Brill is the latest to be featured on Emily Weiss’ beauty blog Into the Gloss. She divulges her simple yet well thought-out beauty routines in its entirety. We’ve definitely learned a few tricks. {Into the Gloss}

Hanneli’s Winter Picks: Street Style Blogger Hanneli Mustaparta has an amazing eye for others with great style as well as her own. Check out what she has her eye on this winter. Coming from someone who pretty much always looks perfect, we’d definitely take note. {The Moment}

Snooki’s Shilling Slippers: Remember those huge, dirty-looking slippers Snooki wore both in and outside the house throughout Jersey Shore? It was only a matter of time before Snooki endorsed her own line of slippers. They’re bizarrely huge, come in leopard and pink and have shoelaces for some reason. To be honest though, they do look kind of comfy. {Blackbook}

Fashion News Roundup: Costume Deets From Snooki and ADR, Amy Winehouse Drunkenly Models Her Fred Perry Line and Free Proenza Dresses?

The Pickle Princess of Poughkeepsie: It goes without saying that the streets are going to be full of Snookis this Halloween, but why not one-up all the others and actually replicate Snooki’s Halloween costume? WWD weirdly snagged a sketch of Snooki’s custom-made outfit, which involves a very short green bustier dress with pickle-shaped sequins and a pickle scepter. We can’t really think of a more appropriate costume for Polizzi. {WWD}

ADR Halloween: Anna Dello Russo‘s outfits are of the utmost extravagance 365 days/year, so can you even imagine what her Halloween outfits must be like? She shares her top style references for this weekend’s holiday. They include Lady Gaga, Jeff Koons, Givenchy couture and Fish costumes at the Chelsea Arts Ball in 1927. She explains, “This is a Schiaparelli mood: women as fish. It’s anthropomorphic, part of the culture of fashion.” Ah, of course. {NOWNESS}

J-Woww Forced to Shutter Filthy Couture Line

J-Woww Forced to Shutter Filthy Couture Line

J-Woww launched her Filthy Couture line of lacy, barely crotch-covering mini dresses and rhinestone encrusted midriff-bearing tops just four months ago, but the line has already shuttered.

Threatening law suits are to blame, according to Radar.com.

Apparently J-Woww’s line was infringing on a similarly named line’s copyright.

“Due to trademark issues the company was shut down,” a source tells Radar.

What’s more, even if you managed to place an order for a lingerie-inspired bikini in the past few months, you’re out of luck. According to the same source, “Money needed to be returned to the people who had ordered clothing.”

Sadly, it seems this is the end of J-Woww’s fashion pursuits.

Fashion News Roundup: Designers Drop To Dirty Tactics (Dirty Jersey, That Is), Tyra’s Sorry About The Top Model Misstep, & More

Bloomin’ Brilliant: StyleCaster debuts its high-texture, floral-centric editorial shoot, photographed by Frances Tulk-Hart. We’re dreaming of layers now…and just in time for a bit of a cold front. {StyleCaster}

Devious Designers: In a bizarre display of cunning, top-name fashion houses are sending free designer bags to Jersey Shore’s Snooki. But here’s the catch– they’re sending her the bags of competing designers. Why? Well, you try carrying around a Gucci purse after it’s become Snooki’s signature item and tell us how many compliments you get. {The New York Observer}

Tyra On Teeny: Tyra Banks responded to the “misconstrued” Top Model teaser trailer, in which ANTM judges swooned over a prospective contestant’s teeny waistline, in exactly the way we’d expect her to– by complaining that she couldn’t possibly oversee every aspect of the show’s publicity material, and by managing to sound like the victim in a society of waistline-worshiping media. Um, honey, you’re the host of a modeling reality show. You can only be so blameless. {The Huffington Post}
