WE BID YOU A FOND ADEIU...
Sniffle...Mr. Tom is leaving us. For the time being the world will be far less fashionable place without his handsome bronzed face and edgy, party-girl looks. Repercussions also include being stuck with preening, non-smooth chested designers like Karl Lagerfeld. However, Tom seems happy and the ethereal lighting for his final saunter down the runway looks like he is departing to a higher place in the fashion kingdom. One thing is for sure, this Texas born hunk has a spot in hemline heaven and we're certain we'll see him in the after(Gucci)life.

PURPLE PERFORMANCE
Apparently someone sent out a BlackBerry page to every Hollywood stylist alerting them that purple is the new kelly green. Despite the fact that legions of dressers assured their finicky juice-fasting clients that they would be the most brazen fashionista in this sumptuous color, it's apparent that this plum made a very strong appearance at the SAG awards. The onslaught resulted in a tidal wave of stylist layoffs thus leaving the fate of fashion in precarious hands for Sunday's Academy Awards.

ANOTHER COVETED T-SHIRT
Move over Marc and Hillary, here comes the latest must have tee: the excellent "I (heart) Cojo". We think that this randy Romanian with blinding white chiclet teeth and bone dry tresses is just so darn loveable. He's such a mensch that he's been scoring the best pop star/celebutante interviews as of late including crave worthy conquests Brit, Sarah Jessica, and Paris. Move over Diane and Barbara, the tough questions are coming from Stevie C.
