As Fashion Week takes over Paris, so do a bevy of stylish stars who flew across the pond to check out Karl Lagerfeld’s latest designs for the Chanel show.
Former train wreck Courtney Love looked nearly unrecognizable (that’s a good thing) as she made her way to the historic Grand Palais on Friday.
Looking (dare I say?) pretty in red, snaggle-toothed actress Kirsten Dunst managed to put down her signature brewskie and token cigarette for long enough to catch the big the show.
British songbird Lily Allen was on hand to provide some much needed class and elegance.
Proving that fashion risks sometimes end up in disaster, rapper Kanye West showed up rocking a bow tie. It couldn’t have been any Wronger.
And finally, a lesson to all you stars out there — never, under any circumstance, stand next to a supermodel. Otherwise, this will be the result. ‘Nuff said.

Tantrum-throwing rapper Kanye West has reportedly been canceling performances aimed to help increase sales of his new album.
According to the New York Post, West bailed on a ‘Today’ show concert last week and opted out of doing ‘TRL’ and ‘The Late Show’ this week.
We also heard he was thinking of backing out of “Ellen,” and might not do “Saturday Night Live” at the end of October. “Kanye knows he is winning the album battle with 50 Cent and is so high on his horse that he can’t even bother promot ing his album,” sniffed one spy.
But worry not, Kanye fans. E! reports that the egomaniacal entertainer is prepping a number with Rainn Wilson of ‘The Office’ fame for the Emmys on Sunday night.
As for his marketing battle against 50 Cent? Early signs say Kanye is outselling Fiddy in their battle of the new albums.
I guess retirement is going to be coming a whole lot sooner than expected for one of these two boastful rappers.
However, E! reports that he may be prepping a number with none other than Rainn Wilson for the Emmys on Sunday night.

Kanye West has been more than outspoken about his discontent with MTV ever since the Video Music Awards ended Sunday night. Above is a clip of his diva tantrum after he went home empty-handed.
But he wasn’t done there. Today, he again blamed the cable channel for Britney Spears’ performance. “Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn’t ready and they exploited her,” the 29-year-old rapper said on Sirius Satellite Radio’s The Morning Mash Up.
As for Kanye’s thoughts on who should have opened the show? Himself, of course, with his first single from his new album, ‘Stronger’.

Kanye West poses alongside his former video hoe Pamela Anderson at the hip hop impressario’s album toast on Saturday at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
While his “nemesis” 50 Cent partied it up at his very launch party down the street with another sex tape-toting blonde (Paris Hilton), Kanye got down and dirty with the Canadian bombshell during Sin City’s umpteenth’s pre-VMA bash.
Kayne and 50 are pulling no punches when it comes to promoting their upcoming albums which both drop September 11. It’s the battle between good vs. evil: a politically conscious MC going head to head with an unrepentant gangsta rapper.
As for who will come out on top? Both, most likely. In a day and age when record sales are at a historic low, a brilliant marketing scheme such as this may be just what both rappers need to avoid slumpish sales.

Kanye West and 50 Cent have taken their publicity war to the pages of Rolling Stone.
With both having albums dropping on September 11, these two marketing geniuses were more than happy to pose and heat up the the greatest debate of our time: Who will be the next “king of hip hop”?
According to the editor’s note, Kanye wants everyone to know that this photo is legit. “I feel like it should say, This is not photoshopped,” he says. “This is real. It’s a moment.”
As for 50? “From a hip-hop perspective, it’s the biggest event possible.”
Team Kanye or Team 50?
