Brad Pitt's beard beads: Love 'em or hate 'em?
Somewhere in the fashion void that lies between ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Captain Jack Sparrow, Brad Pitt now rests comfortably -- challenging us to scoff at his sassy beard beads. Pitt shows off his new accessorized goatee at the Tokyo premiere of 'Inglorious Basterds.' (Pix: AP, Getty Images) Well, scoff I must. I was always a bigger fan of scuzzwad Brad Pitt (think "12 Monkeys") than matinee idol Brad Pitt ("A River Runs Through It"). It's as if the guy is almost too good looking and needs a dimming patina of scruff to make his classic outlines visible to the mortal eye. So I can get behind the I don't brush my hair thing, the Charles Manson look, even the street map-ish tattoo. Now I'm no facial hair expert, but Pitt is -- as far as I can tell -- sporting some kind of modified "French fork." But instead...

Sheet Chic? Demi and Pam Should Have Just Said 'No'
Are belted sheets replacing high-waisted jeans as the celebrity fashion slip-up of 2009? When Pam Anderson (aging "Baywatch" babe) turns up at an event wearing an ill-fitting toga, one can chalk it up to the vagaries of Anderson's taste -- tomorrow she's likely to show up at an art opening without pants. But, when Demi Moore (former actress, current Twitterer) also walks a red carpet swathed in yards of billowy fabric, all indications point to a trend in the making. Demi Moore (left) and Pam Anderson -- we promise they're in there somewhere. (Photos: AP and Getty Images) Anderson's dress was created by Vivienne Westwood (whom Anderson seems to resemble more each day). Not content to rely on just a questionable gown to build buzz, Anderson also enlisted a nine-year-old to carry her train. Said one attendee at the event -- the Hollywood Style Awards) "She [the nine-year-old] didn't even...

Lilo's Latest Fashion Flop
Lindsay Lohan (right) and designer Estrella Arch walk the runway after the debut of the Ungaro collection. (Getty Images) This weekend, Lindsay Lohan made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week with Ungaro's spring/summer/hell freezes over 2010 collection. And, as chroniclers of Lilo's fashion career will know, this is only the latest in a string of Lohan's attempts to spread her hooker Barbie aesthetic. Lohan's first foray into the fashion world was in 2008 with her line of 6126 Leggings. Designs included leggings with convenient built-in kneepads. She recently starred -- along with a stripper pole -- in a new ad campaign for this year's offerings. As if covering one's legs in ill-used lycra weren't enough, Lohan's next attempt to suffocate or otherwise poison one's skin in the name of fashion came in the form of Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist, which I product tested with disastrously orange results earlier...

Comment Box: Stylists for Male Celebs?
Do 'A Steady Rain' co-stars Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman dress themselves? (AP) Female celebrities of a certain rank have stylists, but what about guys? Is there someone who tells George Clooney to wear only black, white and gray? -- From last week's Celebritology Live submissions Both male and female celebs get beaucoup help with their look when it comes to magazine spreads and other promotional photo ops, but outside of photo shoots it's difficult to say. But yes, some of Hollywood's best-dressed men get just as much help as their distaff counterparts. Especially when it comes to red carpet events -- think movie premieres or the Oscars. Just because you don't see Daniel Craig or George Clooney turning up on Rachel Zoe's reality show, a la Liv Tyler or Jennifer Garner, that doesn't mean they aren't getting a little wardrobe help, too. I mean, look what happens when...

Brad Pitt's Flat-Footed Fashion Foible
Possessed, as I am, of unimpeachable fashion sense and nary a bad look captured by a paparazzo, I am confident that you will cede to my essential rightness when I pronounce Brad Pitt's monogrammed loafers an abomination: (Getty Images) While a man possessed of Pitt's good looks could probably wear stale hollowed-out baguettes as shoes without raising an eyebrow, the monogrammed shoe surpasses the absurd, the merely ugly, the regrettably trendy. These self-referential kicks veer into an ick-nast territory occupied by a motley crew of self-lovers and the insecure -- Martha Stewart, Liberace, Laverne De Fazio. Let this be a warning to all -- but particularly any men who may possibly live in my house -- that a monogrammed shoe, especially one bearing two-inch practically neon initials, are every bit as as egregious a fashion no-no as the dread pleated pant. And, at least the fashion-challenged can blame the presence...

Hey Starlets, Give This Trend the Boot
Sandra Bullock. (Getty Images) A recent runway trend starting to crop up on red carpets is the pairing of clunky ankle boots with otherwise typically shape-hugging knock 'em dead dresses. Ill-advised for anyone not about to appear in a Pussycat Dolls stage show. Not even perky Sandra Bullock -- at Wednesday's premiere of her new movie "All About Steve" -- can pull off this look. It doesn't help that Sandy's Lanvin dress isn't so knock 'em dead and appears to be two sizes too big and constructed from funeral parlor drapes. But even that might be forgivable were in not for the big black -- and in Sandy's case scuffed -- boots. But lest you think I'm using the boots as an excuse to pick on Bullock, here are two young starlets who also followed Sandy's footsteps into booted ickiness: Left: Scout Taylor-Compton at the premiere of 'Halloween 2.'...
