Maybe blonds have more fun. But when you're tanning on the yacht, drinking daiquiris, and getting pedicures from Marco -- the hot pool boy, who lives to satisfy your every need -- chances are you won't care. That's because, at least according to dating experts, you, the brunette, are far more likely to land a man who can lavish you with absurd sums of money than your blond counterpart.

Which brunettes scored billionaire hubbies?



In fact, 62% of billionaires have married (or are in long-term relationships with) brunettes, while only 22% chose more fair-haired companions. Women with black hair reeled in a measly 16% of the world's wealthiest bachelors, while redheads barely made the list.

Renee Zellweger and George Clooney have recently been riding the rails for their newest film, Leatherheads. The movie is set in the 1920s, and to go along with the theme, Renee and George have been arriving in dressed in period clothing for each stop on their whistle-stop train tour.

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for clothing from this period, period. Renee's wardrobe (shown here) is feminine and classy, and George ... well, George looks even more dapper than usual. Sorry, I indulged in a little daydream there. And it was nice.

Anyway, since this season is already showing a number of more conservative, 1960s-inspired styles, what's your opinion of going back a few extra decades?

Will you be at the Westin Palace in Milan when George Clooney launches his new clothing line? Neither will anyone else, because the mysterious press release that was sent out yesterday -- announcing the launch of George Clooney's own GC Exclusive -- is a complete hoax. Word travels fast on the interweb, especially when it comes to Hollywood gossip, and within a few hours the news had spread.

While GC Exclusive does have it's own website -- which looks totally cheesy -- Clooney insists that this is some kind of early April Fool's prank. Who plays April Fool's jokes on the media in late March? That's weak. Is this another prank orchestrated by Ashton Kutcher and friends -- like that Paris Hilton's shaman thing?

Guess who that is. Yep, she's George Clooney's uber gorgeous girlfriend Sarah Larson. She was called upon to model. She walked the runway during L.A. Fashion Week for Ashley Paige in a few hot one piece bathing suits.

Dating George Clooney is obviously great for her career! But seeing as how Sarah has friends in high places, you'd think that the makeup artists for Ashley Paige would have been a little bit more careful. They made Sarah look like a man!

Compare her Oscar photos with these pictures on the runway. For the Oscar's she was fresh faced and lovely. On the runway her makeup was heavy and masculine. Was that really necessary? Did they have to cover up all her pretty features in 5 pounds of makeup!?!

I'm not sure if this was just a one time gig or if Sarah actually wants to pursue full time modeling. I know that models starting out don't have a lot of say in the way they look and are presented for a designer. But, if she's going to do this again, hopefully George can pull a few strings and get a no tranny makeup clause put in her contract.

Sarah Larson is the luckiest woman alive. One day she's waitressing and the next day she's living the life of Hollywood royalty and snacking daily on man-candy George Clooney. What a fairytale story! She and George win for hottest couple on the red carpet, because, well, he's George Clooney. Need I say more? It doesn't really matter what any woman he's with wears because she's basically got the best accessory in the world right there on her arm.




Seal and Heidi Klum are another gorgeous couple that really know how to turn up the glamor factor when it comes to award shows. Heidi took it to another level with her red John Galliano dress. The neckline gave it so much drama and just really upped the wow factor. I'm not crazy about the earrings she wore, but hey, let's not start nitpicking here!

What do you think about these hot and steamy Oscar couples?

The gloves are officially off. Now that he's kind of the king of pop, Justin Timberlake is tired of playing second (or third) fiddle to the perennial "Hottest Man in the World" front runners, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

So what sparked this oddly catty little spat between the world's most attractive guys? Timberlake was recently crowned King of Sex by Rolling Stone magazine, and in a subsequent interview with Barbara Walters, said: "Brad, George, you guys may be on the most beautiful whatever but uh...eat your heart out boys."


Sure, Justin is a stylish guy -- in fact, now that he's dressing his age, I'd go so far as to call him one of the most fashionable men in the public eye. But better looking than Brad Pitt and George Clooney? Them's fightin' words, Justin.

Remember Fabio? Just when you thought the world was finally rid of the lamest male model humankind has ever seen, it turns out he's not only still alive, but causing trouble in trendy LA restaurants.

The romance-novel reject was dining with a group of lonely housewives lady friends last night when one of the gals started taking pictures of her dining companions.

Only problem was George Clooney was sitting at the next table, and assumed the woman was taking of him, which, let's be honest, probably happens all the time. When he asked the woman to stop snapping photos, Fabio got catty and told George to "Stop being a diva."

George Clooney doesn't have to take that crap from anyone, let alone some washed-up has-been with freakishly long hair -- so he shoved Fabio, which nearly led to an all-out brawl. Fortunately a waiter was able to stop the scuffle before things got out of hand, but Fabio's manager told In Touch magazine, "George is lucky he didn't end up in the ER."

Um, somehow I think it's probably the other way around -- but what do you think?

In the wake of all this talk about "Menergy," and as we head steadily toward the colder months of the year, I'm seeing beards on an increasing number of manly style icons.

You've probably noticed George Clooney sportin' the kind of thick, seemingly untamed facial fur normally reserved for collegiate peace activists and coffee shop baristas. Yesterday Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted in a top-notch suit with a scraggly pirate beard beneath his well-cropped coiffure.

A word of caution men: before you let that second day stubble blossom into the full-blown rugged look, remember that you are required to trim that bad boy. It might look like George and Jake are letting themselves go, but I assure you the look is carefully crafted. Go too long without a trim, and you won't look hot, just homeless -- and no women will speak to you.

Here's a trimmer I highlighted awhile back for when you're on the go, and here's a sturdier, more practical option for when you're at home. Use them.

Metrosexuality is so five minutes ago; today it's all about "menergy." Right now the days of men taking more time in the bathroom and dressing better than women are over. These days the testosterone meter is set on high and the 'man's-man' is here to stay.

Last month, The New York Times' Horacio Silva used the term "menergy" to describe the "anti-metrosexual, hyper-masculine" energy that was circulating throughout Milan Fashion Week during the menswear segments.

It appears that the "menergy" that was flowing through Fashion Week has worked its way over to Hollywood. George Clooney has ditched his clean shaved face for a scruffier salt-and-pepper whisker look. Super-hottie Benicio Del Toro has put his razor away too. The actor showed off a bearded mug on the cover of Esquire's October issue.

Fashion pro Robert Verdi says, "[it's] a return to real men." Amen to that Robert! I am sick of seeing men sitting next me to at the nail salon. What do you all think, do you like your men 'manly' or properly groomed in a metrosexual way?

Check out our gallery of stars with "menergy" here:

No matter who you ask, Jessica Alba and George Clooney are hot. So hot, in fact, that in addition to being voted Sexiest Man Alive and Sexiest Woman in the World by People and FHM magazines earlier this year, the uber-attractive Hollywood heartthrobs have most recently topped the Yahoo! Personals "Most Desired" list -- ranked by the sites millions of users as the celebrity they'd most like to shack up with.

On the heels of Mr. Clooney were Matthew McConaughey, Kanye West and Andy Roddick -- which all makes sense. But the list was rounded out by Ricky Martin, which makes me think that it wasn't just women who were voting on the male nominations.

Alba, who has been scientifically proven to have the world's most alluring figure, beat out Jennifer Aniston, Queen Latifah, Jessica Simpson, and Maria Sharapova.

So what do you think: are these really the hottest people in Hollywood? Who would you add to the list?

George Clooney is a fine-looking man. Not in a way that would make me want to sleep with him, but in a I'd-like-to-play-poker-and-drive-sports-cars-with-that-guy kinda way. You know, he's a "man's man."

Subsequently, it's no surprise that the men's fashion icon was tapped by Omega watches (the primary competitor of Rolex) to be their "inspector."

The actor recently visited the Nicholas G. Hayek Center in Tokyo (where the watches are made), so that Omega's watchmakers could show him how the magnificent timepieces are created.

Judging by the photo, I'd say he's impressed. And if you can impress George Clooney, chances are, you're on the right track.

What would the week be without a healthy dose of gossip about the fashion biz? Here are a few juicy details from Vogue UK that might have passed under your radar during the work week:

Brit It-Chick Peaches Geldof will be joining Kate Moss as one of the new celebrity designers for TopShop London. Geldof (who I've honestly never heard of before) will be creating her own line of teen jewelry. This is, of course, bad news for British parents who must be very worried that their teenage daughters will soon be taking cues from someone named "Peaches".

Cindy Crawford will be the new face of Remington (not the gun manufacturer -- it's the grooming appliance company).

Tyra Banks has been seeking man advice from an unlikely guru: poet Maya Angelou. The former poet-laureate suggested that should Tyra slow down and try to write poems about her ideal man. Poems, eh? Not match.com or eharmony.com? Well, it's worth a try right? Here's my own poem about my ideal man:

There once was a man named Clooney,
Whose face seemed to glow like the moony.
His pepper-grey hair and heart-melting stare
I confess, does make me quite loony.
