Even though Justin Timberlake founded the Los Angeles based William Rast clothing company, he was hoping he wouldn't have to do double duty as an owner/model. That is, until the creative directors came up with a great plan.

Fashion shows are always interesting and cultural experiences -- especially when they're put on by prostitutes. In Spain, where prostitution is not legal, but largely tolerated, the ladies of the night put on a little runway show in order to draw attention to their quest for rights.

Oh, you precocious advertising companies -- always trying to push the limit with your racy print ads and TV spots. The latest blow-up over some scandalous marketing gone awry surrounds a fake ad for JC Penney. A production company called Epoch Films created a fictitious TV commercial (above), which features two teenagers putting their clothes on as fast as they can. You find out later that they've been practicing getting dressed quickly so as not to get caught having sex in the house. Saucy!

If you're like us, and we hope for your sake that you aren't, you are always on the lookout for good time-saving steps. We have found one for you, or maybe just us- you decide.

The above video explains how anyone can fold a t-shirt in just 2-seconds. Yes, by spending two minutes of your life watching the clip you too can fold like the wind in no time (not to be confused with watching a two minute clip on Emmanuel Goldstein). Follow the simple steps of pinch and release and you should make those two minutes up by 2011.

If the only thing keeping you from this wonderful time-saver is a lack of t-shirts to fold then you need look no further than here, here, and of course, here.

Now, watch and fold. Time is of the essence.

The trouble with being a teenage pop star is that you start running out of money in your mid 30's -- then you have to get the boy band back together and go on a totally lame reunion tour. So it is with NKOTB, but at least they're their latest look is way more fashionable than the old terrible haircuts and acid-washed jeans.

Their first video in 14 years starts out like a commercial for some new Tommy Hilfiger fragrance or boxer-briefs. Thankfully, the director didn't opt for any scenes with the aging icons in their skivvies. We have to assume that the boy band -- now man band -- is getting in on some of this fashion designer sponsorship payola,but we're not sure who's dressing them yet.

No real surprises here, the music still sucks. The main difference between this version of NKOTB and the last is: it's starting to get really creepy. Get a load of that yacht that Joey is hanging out on. Nice touch.

Perez Hilton's new "fashion" line at Hot Topic is geared towards his demographic of readers, young, female and cheap. We think it is also safe to assume that they are easily persuaded to buy crap.

In a video interview and vanity session Perez the pot insults the kettle that is pseudo-celebrity. He basically calls out Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad and claims that his brand smells better. We think they all stink about the same.

If you've ever wondered who's behind the racy ads and the supposedly hyper-sexual corporate culture over at American Apparel, his name is Dov Charney -- and he was just named the fashion industry's Retailer of the Year. He may not be the most conservative CEO in the fashion business, but his brand has totally benefited from combining well-made t-shirts with a really provocative, openly sexual kind of style of marketing.
His libertarian views on dating co-workers and exploring porn themes in his advertising have given him reputation for being a major perv -- as this freakin' hilarious video points out. Yet, American Apparel's sexy and controversial image is pretty much the one big piece of marketing genius that keeps them from being another Hanes. The uber-liberal corporate image, pro-labor business policies, and titilating ads are exactly what draws in the young, fashiony, hipster types. You've got to hand it to him, few people have made such a reputable business off of soft-core porn.

Angelina Jolie has been making headlines all week. Of course, she is a walking headline every week, and whenever she and Mr. Brad Pitt show themselves the crowds go wild. We feel their pain.

When not comparing baby bumps with costar Jack Black (key player in Twin-Gate), who is also expecting (well, his wife is), she is making the rounds at Cannes to promote their new animated film Kung Fu Panda. Oh, and she is having some fun with the media. Why not?

High heels are sexy -- no doubt. However, if you're not walking in them properly, the sexiness of the shoe won't matter -- everyone will be watching you and betting on how long it will take before you wipe out. Or, they'll be laughing at how awkward, clumsy, and out of place you look.

But wait! Don't put your stilettos in storage! We can help you look like you belong with the cast of Sex and the City. Check out the gallery for tips on how to walk in high heels like Carrie Bradshaw (plus, you can check out some really cute shoes!).

(Disclaimer: The end of the video is selling a Legwork video, which we're sure is fine, but that's totally not why we put the video on here -- it's just a short, cool little video showing how to walk in heels. Promise!)

We've always thought that the similarities between the Styledash gang and the Scooby gang were pretty eerie. They solve mysteries, we write about fashion and style. They have a talking dog as their mascot, we don't have a mascot. See, creepy, right?

But that's not all! We also share a sense of awe and wonder for the well placed hidden room, secret passage or otherwise undetected vault or chamber. Of course, they usually find a monster or some sort of clue in these areas, whereas we'd probably just use such things to hide our collections of porn and/or other unmentionables.

As we mentioned before, Kate Moss has returned to Agent Provocateur, starring in the lingerie-maker's latest batch of advertisements. But instead of sticking to a straight-up print campaign, the company has decided to create six pseudo-artsy, mostly pretentious videos of Moss prancing around in her skivvies.

Each video is based on one of the high-concept (and kind of racy) print ads, which are supposed to convey "the demise of a bride's 'big day' and serialize the unraveling of the religious organization behind it." Heavy stuff -- and it gets heavier. Each ad is based on one of the following themes: The Happiest Day of Her Life, The Garden of Eden, Bad News, Frenzy, Revenge, and Let Them Eat Kate.

Confused yet? So are we. Check out the gallery to see if you can figure which ad is supposed to go with which concept. Honestly we have no idea.

Picture yourself at Charleston Fashion Week. Sure, it's not New York, or LA, but you've been pleasantly surprised by a few of the designers, and the friendly woman on your right recommended a darling little place to grab coffee after the show, so -- HEY! HOLY CRAP! Did that woman just disappear through the floor of the runway?

Oh yes she did.

And before you go feeling bad for laughing at some poor woman's embarrassing misfortune, you'll be delighted to know that the people of Charleston are thoroughly enjoying the attention their fashion week is receiving thanks to this now infamous runway collapse.

Check out more runway face plants after this video.

If your favorite show on TV is MILF Island, then you are in luck. Don't let the fact that the show doesn't actually exist, yet, keep you from showing your support. We understand that there is also talk of a potential, and equally fictional, spin-off.

Peanut butter and chocolate? Sure, those are two great tastes that go great together, but let's face it, they're no longer shocking the world with their combined novelty. The time as come for Reese's to step aside, there's a new cup in town, and it ain't kosher.

David Beckham may not have a future as an underwear model. Women everywhere went gaga for the huge Armani billboard featuring Becks in his skivvies. Probably the only female on the entire planet who wasn't happy about seeing the sexy soccer man's package on display was his "mum." As soon as she heard about her half naked son out on display she called to ask him what the heck he was doing! Keep reading to watch a clip of David's interview with Jay Leno.
