Stock prices for Chain Wallets R' Us are plummeting on the news that Ozzy and company are not taking their metal showcase on the road. Instead, this year's Ozzfest is going to be a 1-day only event in Dallas' Pizza Hut Park -- we've never even heard of this place.

Here's the big question: without an Ozzfest tour, what's going to happen to goth fashion in this country? How will the interest in skulls, dragons and lightning bolts be kept alive for future generations? It doesn't seem like there's any other metal event that comes close to the magnitude of Ozzfest. We've even noticed that Hot Topic is starting to look like it wants to be Urban Outfitters.

Not that we're big fans of Ozzy or the tour, but this seems like it is going to send shockwaves through the leather pants industry. Are we losing yet another segment of rock fashion? Guess goth kids will have to get season passes to the renaissance fair.

What qualities would your perfect bra have? Of course, it would have to provide proper support and be comfortable. And, it would need convertible straps so it can be worn with just about anything. It needs to cut low enough for you to wear your deepest neckline, but still provide a seamless appearance under a clingy t-shirt. It should lift and separate, but not so much that it makes your breasts look fake. Oh, and it should be a little sexy, too.

Are we forgetting anything? Because it turns out that building the perfect bra is a lot more scientific than we had realized.

Wearing a Speedo on a public beach might be a crime against fashion and tastefulness, but should it really be a ticketable offense?

Apparently, some sheriff's deputy in Florida thinks so. Here's the story: Speedo enthusiast and Bonita Beach icon 'Beach Bob' is lying in his lawn chair reading like he has every day for the last few years when the deputy walks up and gives him a ticket for trespassing -- and kicks him off the beach because his swimsuit is 'over the line.'


A judge threw the case out immediately, but Bob's still awaiting his day in court -- because he's decided to sue the sheriff's department on behalf of Speedo-wearers everywhere. Look, Speedos aren't exactly our favorite choice when it comes to men's swimwear, but they're not really much worse than a lot of the other options out there. Our policy is: bad taste in swimwear is an unfortunate thing -- but it's still your choice to make. Best of luck with that lawsuit Bob!

Well, it looks like someone has finally found themselves a job.

After being fired from Elle magazine for never being in her office, Project Runway judge Nina Garcia has found a new home at Hearst Publications. Apparently -- rumor has it that she is extremely close to landing a job at Marie Claire.

The word around the blogosphere is that Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson got secretly engaged this weekend. Although their press agents swear up and down that it's not true, Kate was spied wearing a ring and insiders are insisting that the engagement is on. As far as we're concerned, this could just as easily be a hoax as it could be a super-exclusive wedding. It wouldn't be the first time the paparazzi weren't invited.

After their breakup last summer, Owen's been going through some dark times and Kate's been helping him bounce back. Honestly, we thought Owen had his sights set on Woody Harrelson as a life partner. From the article:

"He picked out the ring and went for the biggest one he could find. He was nervous about proposing but Kate was thrilled and the whole thing was really emotional."

A new trend is taking over the streets of Japan, literally. People are running in huge numbers, particularly young women who live in the cities.

The fad is especially strong in trendy Tokyo, where women's corporate marathon clubs are meeting before and after work to do a few laps around the Imperial Palace. The main goal is to "stay healthy, pretty and sane" with the extra benefit of getting to show off special marathon gear from Danskin and New Balance.

Sara Larson: model, reality star, and former waitress. But more importantly, she is the beautiful girlfriend of George Clooney. But we're sure she is super talented and her mini profile in the June issue of Bazaar was strictly based on the merits of her accomplishments. Riiiiight.

On how she began her relationshop with the gorgeous man, Larson tells the mag: "I got texts, and we just started talking. George is funny and sweet, and he's good to be around. I see him as a normal person, like anyone else. He just happens to have a well-known face."

We give it 6 months before she lands on the cover of GQ and/or a spread in Swimsuit Illustrated and drops a clothing line.

Lauren Conrad, you've got some competition.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

We really like Vintage Vantage, and not just because they were soaked in voting controversy (guess where it started? We're looking at you Florida) or that they are officially at war with the country of Denmark, valid reasons they both may be. No, we like them because they make great shirts.

We've all seen Chris Hansen expose perverts, thieves, and con men on Dateline. And since Tyra Banks' addictive model show hit the air, we all can say we know a little something about the modeling industry i.e., never go on America's Next Top Model if you want to have a chance at a legitimate career.

Remember when we were all in love with Dove because they ran an ad campaign featuring "real" women? Well, kind of real -- clearly they weren't going to use fat or unattractive people, but at least the women in the ads were of more normal stature, and not Photoshopped to completely unrealistic proportions.

Or were they?

The LA Times published an article the other day about how rock stars are beginning to all look the same, and after a quick survey of many of today's top artists, we have to kind of agree. While we've spent many hours lamenting over how derivative and boring mainstream pop music is these days, we hadn't really taken notice of how conservative rock stars were dressing.

Where's the sex? Where's the wild hair? Where is the leather? Visionaries and rebels are few and far between in today's music scene. Instead of setting the rules for fashion, like many of their predecessors, most of today's music talent look like they're taking their cues from display windows at the mall. From John Mayer to Fergie, most of them look like they're heading to a photo shoot for one catalog or another -- and in a very real way, they are.

After three stints of rehab, a string of unsuccessful movies, and a line of leggings, Lindsay Lohan will now be turning towards television in an effort to revive her lagging career.

In what is turning out to be one of the most epic season finales that we can remember, Ugly Betty has now tapped Lohan to star alongside supermodel Naomi Campbell, plus Elle magazine's Robbie Myers and Joe Zee in the show's season ender.

And the drama never stops over at the Project Runway camp.

It seems like every week we are inundated with more stories of hirings, firings, and betrayals from the former Bravo TV project.

The latest juicy rumor comes courtesy of WWD:

Apparently, Marie Claire, who is published by Hearst, wants to be the mag to publish Project Runways fashion spreads once the show's contract with Elle magazine expires after this upcoming fifth season.

However, a spokeswoman for Marie Claire would beg to differ, saying: "We think 'Project Runway' is a fantastic show, but to speculate at this point beyond season five would be, as [season four winner] Christian Siriano says, 'A hot mess!'"

No, boo. The switch from Bravo to Lifetime, which your parent company owns, was a "hot mess." But that's why we can't get enough of this little soap opera. Until tomorrow...

Building a fake New York City in the back lots of LA is expensive and difficult -- not to mention ridiculously unnecessary when there's a perfectly good real NYC only a few thousand miles away. Apparently, Ugly Betty's producers have finally caught on to this revolutionary concept, and insiders say the whole production is headed for the East Coast. No more green screens of New York skylines or LA streets dressed up to look like New York -- next season's Ugly Betty will be shot in the real Gotham.

We're a little confused over why they even started filming the show in LA, except maybe that they didn't expect the show to last 2 seasons, but they were obviously dead wrong. Now that they're looking at the long-term, ABC execs are looking for ways to cut down costs and still get that authentic New York vibe. We think they'll be happy with their decision. New Yorkers Vanessa Williams and Ana Ortiz are probably happy about it too.
