A pro-Israel advertisement featuring the model has sparked an angry response from her country’s military.

Bar Refaeli’s cameo in a pro-Israel ad campaign has the Israeli Defense Forces in a tizzy. The new commercial, launched by the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promotes the country’s advanced technology and features an appearance by the Israeli model at the end.

IDF spokesman Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai drafted a letter to the Foreign Ministry on Sunday criticizing the decision to cast Refaeli in the ad because she never served in the Israeli army, a duty required by all Israeli women over the age of 18.

Earlier this week, news broke that Lululemon was recalling its Luon pant on account of ‘sheerness’. But on Wednesday, it delivered an impressive earnings report that outlines marked increases in profit.

On Monday, Lululemon recalled an entire production run of its ‘Luon’ black yoga pants on account of accidental sheerness. The recall reflected 17 percent of pants on the brand’s store shelves. But just days after the recall, Lululemon has delivered a remarkably positive fourth quarter earnings report.

The report outlines a double-digit increase in the company’s net income, which grew 48.8 percent to $109.4 million, up from $73.5 million last year, reports WWD. Revenues were up too, expanding 30.7 percent to $485.5 million from $371.5 million in 2012. But while the increases reflect a massive growth, they do not include repercussions of March’s sheer-gate, since fourth quarter earnings closed on February 3.

The first-ever Global Kids Fashion Week in London—which featured designs by Little Marc Jacobs, Chloe, and Missoni—raises questions about marketing to children.

Watching the catwalk show of London’s first-ever kid’s fashion week, which closed in London yesterday, reminded me of my first appearance in a fashion advertising campaign, at the tender age of 6.

Yes, long before Romeo Beckham was starring in ads for Burberry, we Sykes children were flogging schmutter for our parents.

‘Mad Men’ insider says Jon Hamm’s “impressive anatomy” is distracting to viewers, was asked to wear underwear on set under 1960’s clothing.

Lately, the name Jon Hamm and the word “bulge” have become synonymous.

A quick Google search for the Mad Men star will prove just that, and it seems the cast and crew of Hamm’s hit AMC television series won’t let him forget his past trouser offenses.

VIDEO: Diana's Dresses Auction

Collection of ten gowns could make up to $1m at auction

Ten dresses belonging to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, including a gown designed by Victor Edelstein which she famously wore while dancing with actor John Travolta, are to be auctioned in London later today.

Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers is already grabbing nationwide attention. But the film’s bathing suits also have a story to tell, reports Misty White Sidell.

By now you’ve probably heard about Harmony Korine’s new film, Spring Breakers, which stars Disney princesses Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, Pretty Little Liars’s Ashley Benson, and James Franco. After only a limited release last week, the film has already taken in $270,000 at the box office, shocking audiences with its overwhelming sense of recklessness. But while the characters’ riotous onscreen antics have viewers intrigued, they have a little storytelling help. Bikinis—the outfit of choice for the film’s lead characters—are crucial to Korine’s tale of a vagrant vacation.

Satan’s Makeup Artist Speaks!

In the History Channel’s ‘Bible’ miniseries, the antichrist sure looks a lot like President Obama. But the film’s makeup designer says she doesn’t see the connection.

Sorry Glenn Beck: there’s no connection between The Bible’s Satan and President Obama.

At least that’s according to makeup artist Christa Schoeman, who did the makeup for Satan actor Mehdi Ouzaani and other actors in the film.

Did The Met Ruin Punk?
