Rihanna is working alongside with H&M to launch a fashion line aimed at raising AIDS awareness among young adults.

The collection, called Fashion Against AIDS will include T-shirts, hoodies and tanks. The campaign targets 15 to 24-year olds and will launch in February.

Prices are expected to range from $12 to $34, and 25 percent of the sales will go to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world.

Rihanna released a statement regarding the project, “Supporting YouthAIDS through the Fashion Against AIDS campaign was a great way to encourage my fans to join me in the fight against HIV/AIDS. I love that H&M is providing a fashionable and easy way for young people all over the world to get involved in this worthy cause.”

Other musicians involved include Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance, Timbaland and Ziggy Marley.

Karl Lagerfeld is definitely a huge fan of Amy Winehouse’s.

The fashion designer dubbed her the new Brigitte Bardot and says she is a “style icon”.

Lagerfeld says Winehouse’s mile-high beehive inspired his models hairstyles at a recent Chanel show in London. He adds that he admires Amy’s cutting edge style.

He told ContactMusic.com,

“She is a style icon. She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot’s hairdo in the late Fifties and Sixties. And now Amy has made it her own style. So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy… she is the new Brigitte.”

I’d say she’s more like the new Courtney Love mixed with a dash of Keith Richards!

Does Karl Lagerfield have a closet full of that same outfit? He looks and dresses the same at every event!

I think he is also as high as motherf*cker! You know that bitch snorts his blow from a gold spoon.

Honestly, I think the guy has been dead for a couple years now and they had his body stuffed (that could explain the outfit and shades) so he can still make all of the events and photo ops.

They just unload his body, pose him appropriately and he’s all set! A super cool party fixture and people love taking pictures with him. I want one!

You, too, can pay for a face like this! Just inflate your lips four times their normal size, botox the hell out of your forehead, and then have someone hit you in the face with a shovel!

Victoria Beckham will bare it all for a Marc Jacobs campaign that will raise money for skin cancer charities.

Posh was originally set to model for Jacobs’ spring/summer 2008 fashion line, but was asked to take part in the charity campaign instead.

A source told the Daily Mirror,

“Victoria loves Marc’s work but wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked. Marc went all out to persuade her. And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn him down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing - sexy but tasteful.”

Other stars who have posed in their birthday suits for Jacobs and his charity t-shirt collection are Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell.
