'Bruno' Victims Speak About Their Screen Debut

We won't spoil too many details of Bruno's run-in with twin PR girls (and Kristin Cavallari lookalikes?) Nicole and Suzie DeFosset, but suffice it to say that the duo know that Darfur is a "hot" charity option and not much else about the place. We won't even start on Darfive, since the movie just premiered today and all.

BlackBook tracked down the twins to see how, after all the 'Borat' hype, they were tricked into an interview and how they reacted to seeing themselves onscreen.

'Mad Men' Collaborating With Banana Republic

Don Draper would like to wish you a happy Friday, and also to tell you that 'Mad Men' has a deal with Banana Republic coming up. The clothing retailer will sell a line of suits inspired by the men of Sterling Cooper. We think that would be better if each suit came with Don inside, but no matter.

Additionally, Clorox (we know) has jumped on the 'Mad Men' branding train, with a series of ad spots that show the bleach's strength in removing lipstick stains from shirt collars. The tagline? "Getting ad guys out of hot water for generations." Naughty.

The show's new season premieres in 37 days on AMC, so prepare for more brooding and martini drinking than ever before.

If his past collections are anything to go by, expect these pieces to sell out fast.

Beyonce Too Bootylicious For...Herself?

Beyonce's Thierry Mugler costumes for her 'I Am...Sasha Fierce' tour have received plenty of attention, but apparently the girl who wears them gets picky about what type of attention they receive. Specifically, don't even think about pointing out her behind.

"Beyonce's costumes are so tiny and her choreography is so complicated that inevitably she sweats," a source tells the NY Daily News. "It looks pretty gross, so no one is allowed to shoot her from that particular angle anymore."

So. Take a rear-focused photo and she could go all 'Ring the Alarm' on you.

Amanda Wakeley Buys Company Back And Comes To London

Amanda Wakeley is the latest designer to return to London Fashion Week in September. The news comes at a great time for the designer, who recently reclaimed her company after being told that she was no longer needed at the brand.

Wakeley joins a long line of brands returning to London Fashion Week including Pringle of Scotland and Burberry.

"I am delighted to return to the London Fashion Week schedule in September, especially during such an important season," she told The Telegraph. "Through buying back my label, I have confirmed my commitment to the continued development of Amanda Wakeley and showing again in London is a key step forward in that process.”

Harold Tillman is definitely pleased with the news. "September's London Fashion Week is shaping up to be our biggest and best yet. The timing couldn't be more perfect for Amanda Wakeley to be back at the helm of her company and on the official catwalk schedule in time for our 25 year celebrations."

My Muse: Looking Back At Cher Horowitz

Parsons grad Julia Chesky, a self-described "obsessive" photographer who documents New York window displays on the blog Modelizing, had the same style fixation many of us did growing up: Cher Horowitz from 'Clueless'. Alicia Silverstone's white-feather boa and red mini dress from the movie's cover seemed a bit dressy for a girl who compared her life to a Noxzema commercial, but as the results of Tai's makeover prove, she and Dionne always knew how to make an impression.

For Chesky, peeking into a new life led to more formal studies of fashion. And in the process, that video got plenty of use because she had few people who shared her fascination. But let's hear it from her.
