Which Project Runway Star Makes the Best Superhero
Tim Gunn will get the superhero treatment when Marvel Comics releases an eight-page book as part of the Models Inc. series, a revival of the characters created in the ’70s to attract female readers.
In Loaded Gunn, the Project Runway mentor jumps into Iron Man’s suit to save the day at the New York Museum of Fashion, reports Women’s Wear Daily. A writer for the series worked with Gunn to come up with plotlines and to incorporate his familiar voice and catchphrases into superhero speak. Example: “You know, there are far easier ways to accessorize than grand larceny.”
This won’t be the first time a Project Runway star has been made into a superhero. Earlier this year, Heidi Klum could be seen saving New York Fashion Week in style from a death ray as The Kluminator in four episodes of the Web series Spiked Heel for fashion site Modelinia.com.
Madonna Reveals 'Celebration' Teaser
Madonna shows she's still queen of the dance floor in the soon-to-be-released music video for her latest single, "Celebration," which even features boyfriend Jesus Luz and her daughter Lourdes.
"Madonna, Jesus, Lola (Lourdes) and the dancers all seemed to be having a great time," states one observer at the shoot.
In the just-released teaser for the video, looking glam in a Balenciega mini dress and black thigh-high boots, Madonna wows fans with fierce dance moves – old and new – writhing on the floor as the sultry Luz plays Deejay. (see the teaser below!)
In an earlier teaser, Luz exposes his chiseled chest as he spins tunes from Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour.
Twelve-year-old Lourdes has two cameos: First dancing for a few moments with the troupe and later, she can be seen in a wedding dress similar to the one her mom made famous in "Like a Virgin."
Madonna's longtime friend and collaborator, Jonas Akerlund, who won a Grammy for directing her "Ray of Light" video, directed the new video in Milan, Italy. "She was really happy to be working with Jonas again," says the observer.
The video premieres on iTunes Sept. 1, where it can be downloaded for free for 48 hours. "Celebration" will appear on Madonna's new greatest hits album of the same name, which hits stores in the U.S. on Sept. 29.
If the song reaches No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Singles Chart it will be her 40th No. 1 hit – more than any other artist in the chart's history.
