Adele is everywhere right now... including on the cover and inside the upcoming issue of Vogue magazine. The British songstress appears on the cover of the March 2012 issue of the fashion bible and inside the magazine she talks frankly about her recuperation (from the November surgery on her vocal cords), the red carpet (which she hates) and performing live (she claims she gets nervous every single time).

Adele is also featured in a gorgeous photo spread courtesy of famed fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. Here's a look at a few of the shots inside of the March 2012 issue of Vogue magazine.

Chris Brown named the 'Worst Dressed Man on the Planet' by British GQ

The British version of GQ magazine has named Chris Brown the worst-dressed man in the world in their upcoming March 2012 issue.

"For someone who seems to have so much disposable income – he boasts on one track about spending '15 grand on a phone' and charged over $500 for meet-and-greets on his last tour – Brown seems utterly adverse to investing in tailoring, combining the worst excesses of XXL sizing with a penchant for deeply unflattering costumes."

In addition to calling Chris a "thuggish rapper-slash-singer", the men's fashion magazine (formerly known as Gentleman's Quarterly) also put together an online slideshow of what they believe are his worst looks.

Chris Brown hasn't directly commented on GQ's title, but shortly after the announcement, the 22-year-old rapper changed his Twitter avi to a suited up photo of himself and Tweeted: "Individuality is key...Fresh is a way of life...When people constantly bring your name up (good/bad) thank them!"

Paris Hilton's fragrances have generated $1.3 billion since 2005


Say what you want about Paris Hilton and her fashionable empire, but she's laughing all the way to the bank. The 30-year-old socialite has apparently made $1.3 billion dollars since 2005... and that is just from perfume sales alone!

Paris covers the January 2011 issue of FHM UK and told the magazine all about how much money her perfume buisness has brought in.

"I'm involved in my products every step of the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment. They've produced more than $1.3 billion dollars in revenue since 2005."

But that's not everything that Paris is making money from...

"I have 35 stores and 17 product lines and then there's my racing team, my 14 fragrances and my new project, the Paris Hilton Beach Club chain. The first one is opening in the Philippines soon. It’s going to have nightclubs, restaurants, bars, gyms. Everything really."

And to think that we were amazed at the amount of money that the Kardashian family fragrances were making.

Teen star Elle Fanning would 'rather look 2 than 21'‎


She starred in the Marc by Marc Jacobs fall/winter 2011 ad campaign and she hit the red carpet throughout 2011 wearing gorgeous couture threads by Chanel and Valentino, but that doesn't mean that Elle Fanning is in a hurry to get dressed up like an adult.

In February's issue of Teen Vogue, Elle Fanning talks about something unheard of in Hollywood... the 13-year-old actress tells the glossy that she doesn't want to look like a grown-up when she hits any of her fashionable Hollywood premieres. Elle claims that: "I'd much rather look like a two-year-old than a 21-year-old". In fact she's decided that she has no interest in wearing diamonds, red lipstick or fancy gowns until she's older.

"You don't want to do everything right now," she tells Teen Vogue. "You want to wait for that special moment."

Elle Fanning is one of the few starlets in Hollywood who is regularly praised by critics for dressing her age. But. Just because Elle's "age appropriate" on the red carpet doesn't mean that she doesn't have a passion for fashion. The young actress claims that she knows what is going on in the fashion world and she knows exactly what she likes and dislikes. Elle follows style blogs, stays on top of runway trends and is able to track down tons of youthful pieces from designer's like Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld and Rodarte for her red carpet appearances.

Fashionistas aren't Elle's only fans. Elle even receives praise from her stylish sister in the February issue of Teen Vogue. Big sister Dakota claims: "She's the go-to fashion person in the family. Elle knows every single model, every single collection, every single piece from every single collection. She has a real passion, and it's not at all in a materialistic way. She genuinely appreciates the workmanship and creativity."

GQ names Jared Leto the world's worst dressed man‎


GQ has named Jared Leto this year's worst-dressed man. The popular men's fashion magazine declared that "the dubious honor goes to the 30 Seconds to Mars ringleader, actor, and high fashion-fool, who looked extravagantly terrible all year long."

Here's what else GQ had to say about Jordan Catalano Jared Leto:

"He's flaunted nipples through mesh shirts. He's worn skirts about as frequently as pants. He's rocked a mullet. He is the Worst-Dressed Man in the World. Look, it's not that Jared Leto, the actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman, doesn't try. He tries too damn hard. Don't get us twisted, Jared, we like you, we think you're good at one of your day jobs. But consider this philosophy from legendary dandy Beau Brummell: "A gentleman should never be noticed for the singularity of his dress." What we think he means is, try not to look like a dick."

Strangely, Jared (who turned 40-years-old this week) snagged a style award from the German edition of GQ two months ago.

Forget the Missoni for Target collaboration that famously crashed target.com... the craziest fashion collaboration of 2011 had to be the Versace for H&M extravaganza that hit stores on Saturday November 18th. After months of serious hype, Donatella's vintage Versace-inspired collection hit select H&M stores across the globe. Celebs wearing the most sought after pieces, overnight lineups, in-store madness and eBay markups followed. Viva Versace!

Dutch fashion magazine comes under fire for racial slur in Rihanna article‎


Dutch fashion magazine Jackie has come under fire for an article which includes a racial slur used to describe Rihanna.

The latest issue of Jackie contains an article on how to copy Rihanna's style. The title of the piece is "De N****rbitch". The full English translation reads:

"She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate n***abitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it. But Dutch winters aren't like Jamaican ones, so pick a clothing style in which your daughter can resist minus ten. No to the big sunglasses and the pornheels, and yes to the tiger print, pink shizzle and everything that glitters. Now let's hope she won't beat anybody up at daycare."

The magazine, which has a circulation of 60,000 in the Netherlands, has received worldwide publicity. When Jackie's racial slur went viral yesterday, the mag's editor in chief Eva Hoeke hit Twitter to say that the slur in the article was meant as "a joke" and that no harm was intended. Shortly after she issued an apology on the fashion magazine's Facebook page:

"Dear readers,
First: thanks for all your responses. We are of course very fed up over this and especially very shocked. However I’m glad that we’re engaging in a dialogue on this page — not everybody does that. Thanks for this. Other than that I can be brief about this: this should have never happened. Period. While the author meant no harm — the title of the article was intended as a joke — it was a bad joke, to say the least. And that slipped through my, the editor-in-chief’s, fingers. Stupid, painful and sucks for all concerned. The author has been addressed on it, and now I can only ensure that these terms will no longer end up in the magazine. Furthermore I hope that you all believe there was absolutely no racist motive behind the choice of words. It was stupid, it was naive to think that this was an acceptable form of slang — you hear it all the time on tv and radio, then your idea of what is normal apparently shifts — but it was especially misguided: there was no malice behind it. We make our magazine with love, energy and enthusiasm, and it can sometimes happen that someone is out of line. And then you can only do one thing: apologize. And hope that others wish to accept it. From the bottom of my heart I say it again: we never intended to offend anyone. And I mean that." - Eva Hoeke, Jackie's editor in chief

Late last night Rihanna (who is actually Barbadian, not Jamaican as the magazine printed) took to Twitter to comment on the situation and respond to Eva's forced apology:

@evajackie I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That's your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together, with the intent of abasement, that made no sense..."N***A BITCH"?!....Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you...F**K YOU!!!

Meryl Streep is Vogue's oldest cover girl


Acting icon Meryl Streep can now add another title to her already impressive resume... cover girl. The 62-year-old actress appears on the January 2012 cover of Vogue magazine for the first time ever, becoming the oldest woman to appear on the cover of the fashion bible.

Shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Meryl looks regal and refined wearing a steel coloured Carolina Herrera shirt-dress sitting by the water. Inside the issue, the actress talks about how she believed that her career was over more than 20 years ago.

The 16-time Oscar nominee once played the editor of the fictional Vogue-like magazine Runway in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. Meryl's character Miranda Priestley was supposedly based on Vogue's Anna Wintour.

The January 2012 issue of Vogue magazine hits newsstands on December 20th.

The Carey Mulligan cover shot that keeps resurfacing


An identical photo of Carey Mulligan has been used on three major fashion magazine covers three different times in just 14 months.

The Peter Lindbergh shot of the actress wearing a colourful Chanel feathered dress, from the spring 2011 collection, was first seen gracing the October 2010 cover of U.S. Vogue. The same shot was then used by German Glamour in December 2010, and most recently on the November 2011 issue of Elle France.

Talk about recycling.
