Renowned French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is launching a lingerie line with Italian brand `La Perla`.
Gaultier, 59, who is famous for creating pop queen Madonna`s conical bra for her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour, has developed a "provocative" lingerie collection, reported Contactmusic.
"Lingerie is part of my DNA: I have always used it in my collections. With La Perla, I have found a perfect partner," he said.
The designer, who also created Madonna`s wardrobe for her 2006 Confessions Tour, added the collection will continue to enforce his strong view of female empowerment.
"I would like to give women freedom to be who they are. I personally think women are the stronger sex; that they are more intelligent and much stronger than us men, and I always wanted to show a strong woman who seduces because she wants to," he added.
Gaultier recently opened a retrospective of his work at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada, where he admitted he made the first designs of his iconic bra for his stuffed toys.
"I made my first cone-shaped bra out of newsprint for my teddy bear Nana. I was always alone, doing my own story. It was my world, one in which I was very happy, dressing my teddy bear," said Gaultier.
The designer`s underwear collection will be sold at La Perla and Jean-Paul Gaultier boutiques across the world.
Singer Rihanna is reportedly seeing her ex-boyfriend Negus Sealy, who "has hardly left her side" since she arrived in her home nation of Barbados.
Rihanna was spotted enjoying some "hot and heavy" dancing with her former flame at the Kadooment Day festival.
The couple had parted ways in 2006.
"Negus has hardly left her side. He was her first true love. The ladies here all love him - they call him the Love God. They`ve hooked up in the past when she`s been back in Barbados but now things have progressed into a proper relationship again," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
Olivia Wilde was very upset when she was told by producers of ‘The Change-UP’ that she cannot hire a vagina double to show her character’s tattooed genitals in the flick.
The 27-year-old American actress suggested the idea for a scene in which she gets a tattoo along with her co-star Ryan Reynolds, but producers were a little edgy about what she wanted to do and the extent to which she wanted to do it.
“I get it in a very delicate spot... It’s a vagina tattoo... I was like, ‘You have to show the tattoo if you set it up for the audience...’ and they were like, ‘No, we don’t need to show the vagina in the movie’,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
“And I was like, ‘Well, you know, I’m willing to hire my vagina double right now... because I, as an audience member..., I wanna see it,” she said.
Despite many efforts on the part of the ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ star, including acting out as though she really had a tattoo inked on her vagina, the director chose not to show the tattoo.
“I want it to make sense... We get tattoos and there’s a scene later where we’ve just had these tattoos the night before... and I walked into the scene when we were rehearsing, like, ‘Ooh, ooh...’ and they were like, ‘What are you doing? Why are you walking like that?’ I said, ‘Well, I got the vagina tattoo the night before so I’d probably still be sore, right?’” she said.
“They were like, ‘Nobody wants to see that, don’t do that, don’t do that walk,’ and I was like, ‘It doesn’t make sense. We’re being irresponsible to the children out there who might go and get vagina tattoos, expecting to walk normally the next day’,” she added.
Nichole Scherzinger dazzled in a feathery outfit as she took to the stage in Los Angeles to promote the release of her latest single ‘Wet’.
The 33-year-old performer’s black and red outfit included leather hot-pants, a see-through shirt with a bird embellished on the front and flaring feathered sleeves, reports the Daily Mail.
She teamed up the dress with black studded booties and made a high ponytail that highlighted the outlines of her face.
The brunette beauty rocked the Hard Rock Cafe crowd in Hollywood with her performance that coincided with the release of the video for the new single.
As much as the Indian film industry denies it, the infamous casting couch is very much prevalent in Bollywood.
The latest star to confirm this is none other Bollywood’s new poster boy, Ranveer Singh. The ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ star spoke his heart out in the latest episode of ‘Simi Selects: India’s Most Desirable’.
The actor revealed how the casting couch is not just restricted to women but also men. He spoke about his struggling days and said, “It’s not just restricted to women.”
The actor has also in the past spoken about industry’s well kept secret. Earlier this year at FICCI conference, the actor had admitted that he was approached by certain people for sexual favours in return of film roles. Ranveer has also categorically mentioned that big banners do not indulge in such sleazy acts.
Simi also questioned him about his much speculated relationship with co-star and ‘good friend’ Anushka Sharma. Rumours have it that the two have been dating ever since they met on the sets of ‘Band Baaja Baarat’.
Ranveer was at his diplomatic best and said, “We are very professional with each other. We hang out with common friends and go out for movies. We go out to places to eat and what not but we`re not dating,"
Ranveer said that Anushka deserved a much better guy than him. “She is the most amazing amalgamation of beauty, talent and intelligence. I`m awestruck by her. I`m not good enough to be her boyfriend (laughs)", said Ranveer.
One seldom comes across a Hollywood sci-fi flick which are built on state of the art technology and infused with great deal of human drama. ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ is one such film that both stimulates intellectually and emotionally.
Rupert Wyatt’s ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’ which stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis and John Lithgow, portrays what happens when one messes with nature.
‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ is the story of Will Rodman (Franco), a scientist who wants to find the cure for Alzheimer’s disease as his father (Lithogow) is acutely suffering from it. In his search of a panacea, Will stumbles upon a wonder drug - ALZ 112 and starts testing it on chimps. Things are fine till one of the female chimps goes crazy and has to be terminated. Yet, before the chimp dies, she gives birth to a baby, which is secretly smuggled by Will into a safe custody.
As time passes, Will discovers the extra-ordinary intelligence of Caesar (Serkis) and soon becomes an inseparable part of the scientist’s family. The film traces Caesar’s growth as an infant to a fully grown primate, where Will is almost like a father figure to him, thereby portraying his relationship with each member of Rodman family, be it Will, his girlfriend (Freida) or his father. The thought of being abandoned by Will and his family leaves a deep impact on Caesar’s psyche as when one of Will’s experiments goes horribly wrong, Caesar is incarcerated and he vows to take revenge against the entire human race.
‘Rise of the Planet of Apes’ is an intelligent and sensitive portrayal of human and apes. The movie comes alive when powerful primates create pandemonium in the city of San Francisco in their war for existence. Watch out for James Franco and Andy Serkis as Will and Caesar, whose relationship is like a mottled rainbow, revealing each and every emotion that exists within the human heart.
‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ is a must watch with friends and family.

Bollywood siren Katrina Kaif is surely multi talented. Katrina has already proved her acting abilities and now the pretty lady is all set become a designer.
Katrina recently dropped the offer to work opposite ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukherjee’s film and went ahead with the offer to work with SRK in Yash Chopra’s next.
That’s not all! Apart from sharing the screen space with King Khan she will be designing her own clothes for the film.
It seems, Katrina likes to give her own personal touch to the clothes and accessories that she wears for her roles in her films. In fact, she even went shopping with Rocky S for her rock-chick look in Yashraj`s ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’.
Inspired by the immense response she received for her bohemian rock-star look, the actress approached Yash and Aditya Chopra about designing her own clothes in Yash Chopra`s next directorial venture.
Therefore, Kat is all set to be the actress cum designer in her next film.
Katrina said to a daily, "I was always interested in fabric, clothes and designing. Maybe I would have been a designer by profession, if I didn`t start acting. For the rock-chick look in ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, is not the first time I went shopping for my own clothes and accessories.
I dress minimal and unfussy. So deciding my own clothes for my characters is not a big deal."
Katrina is expected to dress up in true Yashraj style for this film opposite SRK. That means the look will be very elegant, sophisticated and graceful. The thought of dressing herself in desi clothes has made Katrina extremely excited.
Well, we as fans can’t wait to see what Kat will wear and how she will look!
