HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN FOR THE NEW LACOSTE COLOGNE

Since we have posted the behind-the-scenes photos from the Los Angeles set [Hayden Christensen Flys For Lacoste] It took almost 6 months of patience to discover and share with you the new Lacoste ad featuring the sexy Hayden Christensen.

The ad reads 'Relevez le defi' ... up for the challenge, yes we are :-)

I have to admit it was worth the wait even if I don't really get the all hanging in the middle of the street to end up with a shot that could have been done entirely by photoshop! But I guess the photoshoot created a buzz,especially the picture of Hayden looking for his lighter in his underwear ;-)

In the Gallery below we have other Lacoste fregrance ads to show you! They're pretty sexy and looking at them I am surprised Hayden had to kept his shirt on.

RYAN PHILLIPPE IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR 'THE BANG BANG CLUB'

Ryan Phillippe is actually in Soweto, South Africa filming 'The Bang Bang Club'.

The movie tells the true story of four young photographers which is also the story of the final demise of apartheid and the birth of a new South Africa. Phillippe, 34, co-stars alongside Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch [Fame]

The Bang-Bang Club was a name primarily associated with four photographers active within the townships of South Africa during the Apartheid period, particularly in the years running up to the country’s first democratic elections (27 April 1994). While a number of photographers and photojournalists worked alongside the Bang-Bang Club (such as James Nachtwey and Gary Bernard), Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich, Ken Oosterbroek, and Joao Silva were the four main men associated with the name.



One of the most shocking and terrible and haunting image I have ever seen in my entire life was taken by Kevin Carter. I am sure you have seen it before but I still have to warn you that it is extremely disturbing, to see the photo click here.

After taking this shot he also came under heavy criticism for just photographing and not helping the little girl.

MADONNA GOES TO COURT FOR ADOPTION

Madonna landed in Malawi with her family on sunday. She appeared in court yesterday seeking to adopt a four-year-old girl, Mercy James. The case was adjourned until April 3, so she is now set to find out on Friday if she will be given permission to adopt a second Malawian child.



A coalition of non-governmental organizations called the Human Rights Consultative Committee has criticized Madonna's adoption attempts, saying that adoption should be the last resort and that children need to be taken care of by their own family. Mercy James is a child who has her extended close family members alive and we urge Madonna to assist the child from right here. Q statement from the coalition said.

But others have said that the adoption would give enormous opportunities to the child that she would be unable to achieve in the impoverished country, where 14 percent of adults are infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The U.N. estimates that half of the 1 million Malawian children who have lost one or both parents have been orphaned by AIDS.

How can she not get the permission!? What she is doing over there is amazing and her fame brings more awareness to problems such as lack of education.



Madonna took David, her daughter Lourdes and son Rocco to the orphanage. I am sure it was a very emotional moment for all of them. She then paid a visit to a school she financed and met with David's biological father for the first time since David left Malawi in 2006.

ARTFUL DODGER 2009

Fashion brand Artful Dodger came up with a really cool site to navigate along with a super sexy model to promote their latest collection. We absolutely love the photography, it is fashion but at the same time 'artsy' enough not to be too commercial! This campaign was shot in September 2008 in Argentina and features Dan Cameron [Nous Models] See their latest collection in the gallery below, and you know what!? We really like their clothes too!



We haven't seen much of this campaign on the net so far ( not to say anywhere) and we would not be surprised if after today we get to see more Artful Dodgerness around ;-)

ROMAIN MESNIL REALLY GETS NAKED IN PARIS FOR HIS SPONSOR HUNT

^{Copyrights Kiciprod}

Yesterday we talked about French Paule Vaulter Romain Mesnil who had to run naked in the streets of Paris in hope for new sponsors [French Paule Volter Romain Mesnil Naked in The Streets of Paris] Today Mesnil tried a slightly less controversial approach in parallel to his nude stunt by launching a ten-day attempt to get sponsors via the French version of the eBay online auction website.

But still this morning a new video was posted on his Youtube page, and this time you can clearly see that Romain was not wearing anything at all ;-)

No more black square only a (sorry Romain) cheap blur effect that does not really work especially in a motion movement (Thank you Romain) I wish I had enough money to be a sponsor so if you have ... you know what to do ... otherwise you can just enjoy the video (same begening than the one from yesterday) only this time with an happier ending.

ESQUIRE: A MIX-AND-MATCH FLIP BOOK

First Esquire's October issue came with a battery-powered cover that blinked and flashed. Then the February issue had a flap on the cover with an ad inside. Now the May issue of Esquire, on sale April 10, is coming perforated to split into a flip book that will let readers play mix and match with the facial features of President Barack Obama, George Clooney and Justin Timberlake.

See the May cover in action in video bellow. The inside front covers and following page belong to mix-and-match ads for the History Channel's new series "Life After People." The magazine said the cover innovations are coming from Editor in Chief David Granger, who wants to engage his readers and push the boundaries of print. Source AdAge.
