• Lauren Conrad continues to expand her business empire by releasing a collection of eco-friendly cosmetic accessories with sustainable products company BlueAvocado. LC going green, FTW!
• While we all were catching some z's on Tuesday night, Rihanna was having an all-out tat party in Hollywood, which resulted in having the words "Thug Life" inked on her knuckles FOR. EV. ER.
• Selena Gomez performed in an entirely head-to-toe violet ensemble while in Puerto Rico earlier this week, and we mean that literally—even her hair matched her plunging purple stage outfit!
• All the amazing, post-apocalyptic fashion from The Hunger Games story has been turned into real-life Tumblr street style blog called Capitol Couture. Genius!
• Miley Cyrus transformed her long, soft, wavy locks into a shaggy razor-cut bob. Do you like her new 'do?

Paris Jackson and Justin Bieber honor Michael Jackson at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Michael Jackson's family gathered together yesterday to celebrate the late King of Pop at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Michael's children, Prince, Blanket, and the blossoming beauty Paris Jackson, honored their father, helping imprint his famous sequined silver gloves and a pair of his black patent dancing shoes into his own block of cement outside the legendary theater. The Jackson family was also joined by special tribute performances of Michael's music by the cast of Glee and the Cirque Du Soleil "Immortal" ensemble, as well as speeches by "Thriller" producer Quincy Jones and pop's current wonderboy and MJ superfan Justin Bieber.
Now, pause while we say something kind of totally maybe scandalous. Don't get us wrong, we loveloveLOVE The Biebs' current girlfriend, the beautiful and talented Selena Gomez. We fly our Selenator flags high here at MTV Style. But we also have eyes. Eyes which see something verrrrry visually appealing about this Paris + Bieber coupling. Pump the brakes on the rumor train for a hot minute, though. We're definitely not trying to incite a breakup or anything (quite the opposite, really: Selieber 4 LyF!), but we can't help but appreciate the harmonious color-coordination happening betwixt these two.

A look from the Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture show.

As we recently reported, Jean Paul Gaultier's main inspiration for his spring 2012 haute couture collection was late singer Amy Winehouse. It was a blatant tribute that included her signature beehive, beauty mark, ubiquitous cigarette, leather jacket and pencil skirt uniform (with Fred Perry-esque detailing), as well as a doo-wop quartet playing her music throughout the runway show. Some critics thought it was a "carbon copy" of Winehouse while others found it to be both "marvelous" and a fitting tribute. Mitch Winehouse (aka Amy's dad), on the other hand, was feeling something else altogether. He took to his Twitter feed to cement his distaste of the collection.
We don't support the Jean Paul Galtier collection. It's in bad taste. Mitch

First of all, WHOA, did this just get Ayn Rand-ian with that Gaultier misspelling? Perhaps. Winehouse senior, if you don't know, is both a London cab driver and a singer himself. In the months following his daughter's death, he helped set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which gives money to troubled youths. He seemed to care deeply for his child (of course) and hasn't been particularly vocal regarding the number of other tributes performed after Amy's death. BUT sending models down the runway in his child's likeness six months after her tragic death? Is this taking it a bit too far? Let's discuss.

Amanda Seyfried on the set of "Lovelace."

Since news of a Linda Lovelace biopic hit the wires, the storied role has undergone a musical chairs of actresses rumored/claiming to be playing the infamous adult actress. First Anna Faris, then Lohan, but now the cameras are rolling on the set of Lovelace, and the title role is played by none other than Amanda Seyfried. While it's much-discussed that portraying Deep Throat's leading lady will be quite the dark feat, we are glad that Amanda can at least find a bit of a bright spot in the funky, fun threads of this '70s era film.

Snooki in Las Vegas on Jan 10.

Last fall Snooki launched her first-ever sunglasses collection, and with the affordable price point and fun animal print designs, fans quickly snatched up all KINDS of shades from the Snooki by Nicole Polizzi line. On Wednesday, the Jersey Shore girl revealed a sneak peek her spring line via Twitter, and we got a glimpse of the rhinestone-encrusted "Rock Candy" glasses for the first time. Just a day later (aka yesterday!), they hit the web, and *GASP* THEY ARE ALREADY OUT OF STOCK. The plastic frames come in six colors (with awesomely hilarious names like "Boo-Boo Berry Pie" and "Not So Sour Apple") and cost only $20! If there was any doubt of Snooki's ability to be a smart businesswoman, we can absolutely attest to the fact that she is doing something very, very right.

Blake Lively and Chloë Moretz attend the Jason Wu for Target launch in New York City.

The Jason Wu for Target collection is almost here! We're seriously getting antsy about the Feb. 5 launch date and are expecting a shopping EVENT reminiscent of the Great Missoni Frenzy of 2011. We've already waxed poetical (aka gushed with our typing fingers) about how much we want everything in the collection, especially anything involving the collection's mascot, Milu the mischievous black cat. There was a private launch event for the line in New York City last night attended by Blake Lively and Chloë Moretz , who both wore Jason Wu . Now that we've seen actual pieces from the line on a person (hi, Miss Moretz), we're officially combusting in our office chairs. Will we—or ANY of us—be able to get our hands on this black and white magic?
Eastpak Artist Studio backpacks designed by (from left) Yelle, Johnny Marr, and Marina and The Diamonds.

We've been on a backpack kick lately. It started in early fall when we were inspired by all of the back-to-school accessories, but its an obsession that has extended to now—winter—when we have so much bulky junk to carry around that it's getting ridiculous. We're not ashamed of our snail-like ways of hoarding miscellaneous items to see us through this big bad city, but we realize a better way of not destroying our backs would be to actually invest in a backpack. Surprisingly, it's hard to choose one, which is why we're thrilled (nay ELATED) about Eastpak's new line of Artist Studio backpacks. In a tortoise shell, the company asked more than 130 creative types from musicians to nail artists to go to town on a blank, original Eastpak canvas backpack. They could draw on them, cut them up, add weird blingy items, or do whatever they wanted. The results are ZHAMAZE. And what's even better, all of the proceeds from the sale of these one-of-a-kind bags go to Designers Against AIDS. The only problem is which one to choose...

When we think about Parisian style (as we do) a few words spring to mind: chic, effortless, elegant. Long-limbed women loping around the cobblestone walks like well-tailored gazelles. Casual afternoons in some sort of striped knit with a bateau neck. Gobs of red lipstick. A tilted chapeau. You know, our daydream visions of the City of Lights. Paris Haute Couture Week, though, is another beast entirely. Rather than stream-lined and sartorial, haute couture is a rare breed of animal that's custom-fit with the most luxurious fabrics, the most lavish beadwork, and sits patiently while a doting visionary sews it into the vestment by hand. With a club so exclusive, this week marks a specific time when this elite tier of designers is given license to go buck wild on the runway by sheer virtue of their detail-oriented awesomeness. And buck wild they did go. Let's take a look at the week's most WTF looks!
CURTAIN CALL AT ON AURA TOUT VU

A look from the On Aura Tout Vu Paris Haute Couture Spring 2012 runway show.

Much of what we saw on the On Aura Tout Vu runway we loved: bright pops of candy colors, prints that evolve three times over in one garment, and the MOST interesting developments in hosiery. This look, however, is a little *scrunches nose* IDK. You can "Never mind the model behind the curtain" all you want, but this peek-a-boo personal pan voting booth is hardly something we can ignore.

The Situation's custom Vinny tee.

We'll give you a minute to put down the box of tissues, fix your running mascara, y'know, take a breath and stuff. We know you're undoubtedly BUCKLED OVER in a puddle of happy tears at Vinny's triumphant return to the Jersey Shore. Us, too. It took a lot of coaxing (or forcibly robbing him from his doting mama, Paula), but they did it! The rest of the roommates were able to convince Vin to come back to the house. What did it, though? When the girls called earlier that weekend to invite him to Mike and Pauly's surprise party, Vinny didn't seem that interested in returning to the land of fist pumps and hair gel. So what was the deciding factor? What made him change his mind? His roommates seem to think it was finally seeing their smiling faces, but we know better. No one can resist the power of a custom T-shirt homage.

By now we've already figured out how to master the maxi skirt and the midi skirt, but how about the mullet skirt? It's what we lovingly call the high-in-front-low-in-back maxi that we've been obsessing over. It's perfect for summer and winter simultaneously (just throw a pair of black tights on underneath!) and never fails to transform any outfit into an elegant ensemble. We scoured the internets and found three fashion bloggers who rocked mullet maxis in the most cop-worthy of ways. And don't worry, no actual mullets will make an appearance in this post. Carry on!
