Fashion Poll: Helena Bonham Carter -- nightmare before Christmas?
Ahhh, the lovely and talented Helena Bonham Carter was on hand Monday night at a tribute to partner Tim Burton. As has been her wont ever since she coupled up with Burton back in 2001, Bonham Carter arrived looking like nothing so much as an aging goth working girl. Or milkmaid from hell. Or Wednesday Addams after a bender. (Reuters) Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps you find her mussed tresses and corpse-like pallor attractive. Or you think her amazing body of work (everything from "Lady Jane" to "Fight Club" and beyond) gives her license to make a few fashion missteps from time to time. Have a look and vote your conscience below. poll by twiigs.com...

Another day, another rat jumps off the USS Lindsay Lohan
As regular Celebritology reader LuvLinsey would certainly agree, it's been a rough year for Lindsay Lohan: She's been confused with Donatella Versace, her acting career is all but dead in the water, her relationship with Samantha Ronson seems to be pretty much over and her dad has made a cottage industry out of selling his estranged family's private phone conversations. And now Emmanuel Ungaro is jockeying to distance himself from Lohan's disastrous pasty-filled collection debut at October's Paris Fashion Week. The designer, who sold the Ungaro fashion house in 2005, said he had nothing to do with the deal that brought in Lohan's influence. One of Lohan's Ungaro-branded creations. (Maria Valentino for The Washington Post) "Lindsay Lohan's collaboration was a disaster," said Ungaro. "I am furious but I can't do anything about it." Ungaro told press at a film festival in Lisbon, Spain that the fashion house bearing his name...

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...
