We Love Photoshop: Now that Brad Pitt is the new face of Chanel, we put our photoshop skillz to work and came up with other ad campaigns we'd love to see fronted by dudes. Gosling for Dior? Hey girl, j'adore.

Since Brad Pitt's the New Face of Chanel, Here are Other Famous Dudes in Fashion Ads

Chanel announced today that Brad Pitt would be the new face of Chanel No. 5--making him the first ever male spokesperson for the iconic fragrance. That got us thinking: Could other storied brands go the same route as Chanel? Will we be seeing more handsome male faces in some of our favorite campaigns? If that's the case, supermodel Coco Rocha is not going to be happy. She tweeted earlier today: "No working model is happy for Brad Pitt and his new gig as the `face' of Chanel No. 5.#ThingsBitterModelsSay Cc: @Models@StyleWatchMag." Ouch. No doubt, Rocha would have leapt at the chance to represent the brand, whose eponymous designer she shares a first name with. But while we highly doubt models like Rocha will get edged out by leading male actors, we couldn't resist the chance to re-cast some of our favorite ads--with a little more testosterone this time. Click through to see what James Franco, David Beckham, One Direction, and more, would look like as the faces of some of the most iconic fashion brands.

Fashion News Roundup: W's October Cover, Tim and Anna's Beef and the Fashion Ventures of Two Reality Stars

The Newest New W: Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling cover October W, the mag's second issue since Stefano Tonchi took the helm and it became the "new" W. We love Michelle and Ryan, but we're kind of getting a flashback to Lars and the Real Girl, as Michelle Williams looks very much like a doll that Ryan is holding in this picture. {Fashion Copious} Tim vs. Anna: The Saga continues. As you might have heard, Tim Gunn did not paint the most flattering portrait of Anna Wintour in his book Gunn's Golden Rules, in which he tells the story of Anna being carried down several flights of stairs by bodyguards after a show. Anna, not surprisingly, was not happy with Tim's comments and now I think Tim and Anna are in the fashion version of a rap war. Tim says, "More than 30 people must have seen it. I'm just the only one brave enough to tell the truth. Lord knows hell would freeze over if I came face to face with her here, but I probably wouldn't be able to see past her handlers." {NY Post} The Situation's unfortunate fashion situation: Mike Sorrentino is getting serious about starting his own clothing line, starting with trademarking a name. Sadly, Mike lost the bid to trademark "The Situtation" and to make matters worse, some other guy trademarked Sorrentino just last week. How will he make a name for himself in the fashion world now? {Gawker}
