We think everyone can unanimously agree that last week's premiere episode of the fifth season of Project Runway was a tad bit on the boring side. We're not sure if it was because of the fact that the challenge had been done before (and better) or because the contestants didn't seem that interesting, but it took everything within us not to turn the channel after the first ten minutes.

However, we've never been known to quit something we've only recently just started. So we're hoping tonight's episode of Project Runway will be exponentially greater than last week's. And we have a strange feeling (wink) it just might.

Eco-friendly cheerleader, Natalie Portman, will be guest judging tonight's episode. Cool, right? We imagine the contestants will have to incorporate Natalie's vegan shoes into their looks. Anyways, as we all wait in suspense, check out this clip of a preview of tonight's episode. Tim Gunn's "Holla at ya boy" is priceless.

Earlier this week we learned that flip-flops could mess up your feet, and today comes another attack on the summer-friendly footwear: it might cause cancer.

The news, while shocking at first, is really more straightforward that you might think. The outcry over open-toed sandals has less to with some mysterious connection between rubber, leather and sensitive skin, and more to do with that skin's increased exposure to the sun. Especially now that flip-flops -- once a common target of snakry style critics' disdain -- are becoming acceptable among celebs and the fashion elite, doctors are concerned that they'll see an increased number of foot cancer cases (and in fact, some doctors report that they already are).

Lots of celebrities have taken to "designing" clothing lines. And, while some of them make sense -- who wouldn't want to dress like Penelope Cruz? -- some are questionable, to say the least. Check out this list of celebrity clothing designers and then cast your vote -- who's line would you be most likely to wear?

Natalie Portman certainly showed her love of ruffles at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Nearly every dress she wore was covered in them! And while ruffles can be overwhelming, we love so many aspects of this look that we're willing to forget about the fact that you can't tell whether she's got a waist or a baby belly.

We know how you can successfully pull off a look similar to Natalie's -- check out the gallery to get the scoop!

We're so disappointed that this 11 day fashion fest film festival ended yesterday. Every day during the prestigious event we looked forward to waking up and seeing who wore what on the red carpet!

With the good, you have to take the bad. We just finished our top 5 best dressed list for the first half of Cannes, and now it's time for the worst of the bunch.

Here we go. I've beaten flight delays, jet lag, sharing a room the size of a closet, and driving a scooter for the first time in my life.

Before my Chopard party, I went over to the Hotel Majestic Cannes Barrière to catch some of the Jury Panel leaving to the opening night ceremony for "Blindness." Sat around for an hour with French fans with point and shoot cameras, until Mischa Barton showed up with her over the shoulder glamour. She was followed by the always classy Faye Dunaway, then Natalie Portman in a stylish purple strapless dress. And I don't know who Amira Casar is, but I dig her meter long bow tie and the checkerboard skirt. Is it suitable for Cannes?

After that it was off to Chopard, who hosted a party celebrating Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. Singer/actress and all around lick Juliette Lewis disc jockeyed the party where she played disco, techno and a few of her own tunes. Australian actress Cate Blanchett posed with the designer and a few friends.

Conclusion? Purple is already a graceful theme for ladies this year. We'll see how much more comes out. Also, Alberta Ferretti works well with the larger jewelry of Chopard -- definitely a nice combination.

In honor of Earth Day, we present the top five celebrities who use their fame to help make the earth a better place to live.

Our number one: Leonardo DiCaprio

The Vanity Fair green issue cover model and hybrid driver created the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998. He makes every effort to generate awareness of environmental issues, partnering with organizations that include Natural Resources Defense Council, Global Green USA, and the International Fund For Animal Welfare.

Check out the gallery to learn more about Leo's great efforts and see who else made our list of Eco Celebs.

When we first heard that Natalie Portman was coming out with her own line of vegan shoes back in January, there were some doubts as to who would actually spend so much money on such pricey shoes -- even if they are animal cruelty free. The general consensus was that you can find pleather shoes at Target for about $200 dollars less and still not hurt any animals.

But, Natalie's line has officially launched and if you check on the official Té Casan (meaning "a woman's path," in the Gaelic language), website you'll see that almost every pair is sold out. Granted, the site specifies that they only have 100 shoes in each size for the pre-order, so that might have something to do with it. Those vegans are a passionate group of people and it looks like if they see a cause they like, they'll support it whole heartedly. Besides, compared to Stella McCartney's vegan shoe line, where a pair will set you back $800, Natalie makes being vegan look cheap!

I'm normally hesitant to endorse any celebrity clothing lines because in general, I feel like starlettes these days will put their name on anything just to make a quick dollar. But that doesn't seem to be the case with Natalie. She has been a known animal activist for quite some time now. Vegan and organic products are becoming more and more popular so it makes sense that she would want to back something like this. Would you buy her expensive vegan shoes just to make a statement?

Browse through the gallery above to see Natalie at the Te Casan vegan footwear collection launch party alongside designer Rogan Gregory. There are a few close ups of the shoes themselves. While they're all cute enough...honestly, $185 for a basic ballet flat made by an actress who's not technically a designer, and really not even that into fashion? Let's just say that I might be willing to sell my first born for a pair of Louboutins...but probably not for a pair of Portman's.

Some of you may have already heard that Natalie Portman's new line of shoes is going to come out on January 15th. All her designs are animal-friendly, meaning they are cruelty-free and are produced in humane conditions. Even though I'm not quite as tenacious as Ms. Portman, I greatly admire the fact that she's put forth the effort to make this difference.

Elle.com has new pictures of the shoes and details on where to purchase. Each pair will set you back about $200. No one said it was cheap to be cruelty-free, unfortunately. Style-wise, I sort of feel like all of the shoes look a bit dated. I mean, they don't look necessarily out-of-fashion, but the preview pictures remind me of something I could have seen at a Nine West in 1998. I do rather like the shiny Mary Jane heels, though.

Psst... Honestly, I think most of the drive to buy is caused by the Natalie Portman name.

She's normally fairly off-the-radar as celebrities go, but Natalie Portman fans are about to get a very inside look at the star's day-to-day existence.

Rumor has it that Portman is teaming up with Silicon Valley investors to "lifecast" her existence ala Justin.tv. For those of you who aren't Internet dorks like me, this would mean she'd be providing a continuous video feed of her work and personal life.

Ever wanted to know how a celebrity picks out what to wear every morning? Curious about how a stylist prepares a client for a public appearance? Interested to find out how much she works out to keep that figure?

It seems you might find out soon enough.
