LIL WAYNE: TRUKFIT T-SHIRT DESIGNER

Taking notes from other Hip Hop artists/entrepreneurs, Lil Wayne has now started up his own fashion label. While he won't be showing in Milan this weekend the rapper will start us off with a range of t-shirts under the brand Trukfit which he presented on Thursday.

Pajama swag they're calling it because 'everybody's into suits right now" says Marisa Flores, Wayne's stylist, that it's all about being comfortable. Perhaps we don't share the same relaxed sentiments of rolling out of bed and chucking on a good tee. The event had models painted silver and dressed in cargo shorts and socks pulled up and saw the likes of Russell Simmons showing up for support.

Trukfit is an acronym for “The Reason You Kill For It". Thoughts?

BLAIR UNDERWOOD RELEASES MENS SUITING COLLECTION

Celebrities really do like to branch out so it is not much of a surprise that Blair Underwood (Dirty, Sexy, Money and New Adventures of Old Christine) has decided to do the same. Thankfully it wasn't another fragrance venture because I think we have enough right now.

Underwood has partnered with K&G to release a range of mens suiting called the BU collection (hmmm). They promise a premier line of tailored suits inspired by the actor. Which I imagine means he didn't have a lot of influence in the designing of the garments, but who knows. He decided to join K&G for this venture to offer men good quality suiting at an affordable price point so can you really blame the guy?

TOM FORD IS GOING TO BE IN THE NEW JAMES BOND, ON DANIEL CRAIG

No treats for guessing why James Bond turned to the master of modern suiting, Tom Ford for his sartorial needs. Especially since it went down so well in the Quantum of Solace. With the announcement of Craig's latest Bond-age (wait, thats not right) in Skyfall, he donned a 2 piece notch lapel suit with grey French cuff, obviously all from Ford's menswear collection. In fashion it's clear in movies Ford is our Bond man.

JAMES FRANCO IS V MANS MAN OF THE DECADE...SO FAR

The fact that I receive a flood of hits any time I mention James Franco makes the following cover no surprise. Man of the Decade? That's quite a statement, but okay then. He has had a rather successful run lately. The cover was shot by Inez can Lamsweerde and Vinhoodh Matadin for the Decade issue which collaborated with, among others, Karl Lagerfeld and Terry Richardson as they look at 150 years of men's style.

BARTON PEREIRA FEATURING GIOVANNI RIBISI

If I were to be an actor I would hope for a career like Giovanni Ribisi's. With looks that don't match his name it has been interesting to watch him evolve over the years. Pretty boy actors only get so many types of roles so it tasks actors like Ribisi to handle the cool roles. And his cool is so effortless.

Catch this video of the actor as he motors around looking chic and slick for Barton Pereira, in his own Ribisi shades, no less. The video was shot by Keith Musil in a ship crate yard.

TINTIN STAR JAMIE BELL COVERS VOGUE HOMME INTL.

Billy Elliot Jamie Bell covers the latest Vogue Homme International. The 25 year old actor has a big year ahead of him which includes the massively anticipated Tintin movie by Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg. I used to read Tintin as a young boy and as an adult I'm still fascinated by his hair.

The talented Mr. Bell has been dating an equally talented young actress Evan Rachel Wood, who I think is very underrated. They make a cute couple anyway. Take a look at three more magazine scans below.

TAYLOR LAUTNER FOR GQ AUSTRALIA

This shoot featuring Taylor Lautner could not go un-blogged. Old-worldly and so chic it looks like it stepped out of Mad Men. This is where fashion is going. You can thank GQ Australia for this one. Photographer David Slijper and Wayne Gross get my nod of approval. So clean cut! It's no wonder this boy is going places, the camera likes him.
