Yesterday we got to see a few RIDICULOUS photos of Manchester United soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo showing off his fried chicken legs as he hobbled on crutches at the Ed Hardy boutique in West Hollywood, CA and today we get to check out a couple more photos of the Portuguese phenom doing what he seems to love best … frying his epidermis:

Football star Cristiano Ronaldo clearly enjoys sporting the bronzed look. But the Manchester United and Portuguese international appears to have taken his love of tanning too far as he turned a distinct shade of mahogany from his daily sunbathing sessions in Los Angeles. Ronaldo has spent his break since the premiere season’s end last month sunning himself. First on holiday with ex-girlfriend Nereida in Sardinia, and now in Los Angeles. But despite acquiring the desired bronzed look some weeks ago, the star footballer is still soaking up the sun on a daily basis. Ronaldo’s once sunkissed skin has now turned a decidedly much darker hue, but the 23-year-old appears to be addicted to the suns rays, lying out in the sun on a daily basis. Ronaldo is recuperating in Los Angeles after an operation on his ankle.

Yeah, methinks that Cristiano should really start to be concerned about all this suntanning. Absent the fact that he could contract a nasty case of skin cancer, his skin looks like it’s about 4 minutes away from turning into leather. It’s not a good look. The darker he becomes the more I think about the Season 5 Project Runway contestant Blayne and his insane love of suntanning — he must be seething with jealousy … dare I say, he’s “green” with envy?

While the new batch of wannabe designers are battling it out for winner of Project Runway season 5, last season’s winner (who was crowned just this past February) has already hit the ground running with his first official line of clothing. As part of his prize as Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano was given the opportunity to design and sell a line of clothing for Bluefly … and yesterday, the first pieces from his collection were unveiled to the world:

Bluefly, the leading online retailer for on-trend designer clothing at a great value, will be the first to offer Christian Siriano’s women’s collection on its site beginning today. The 22-year-old designer who skyrocketed to fame by winning season IV of the highly rated reality show, Project Runway, will debut his first collection of eight silhouettes in a range of colors exclusively through Bluefly. Each piece is signature Siriano: fierce and fashion forward. While clearly directional and undeniably edgy, the collection will offer customers a range from jackets to t-shirts and skinny pants to a red carpet worthy dress with items that will retail in price from $96.00 – $520.00. Since taking the top honor on the show, Siriano has caught the eye of several celebrities including fashion icons Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Vanessa Williams, Kimberly Locke, Whoopi Goldberg and others. With his first collection, he stayed true to his avant-garde vision, creating pieces that his doting fans are sure to adore. The garments boast such details as puffed shoulders, exposed zippers, ruffles and incredible ruching. Christian Siriano said, “Working with Bluefly has been completely amazing. They have the fiercest customers and I am so excited to have the opportunity to sell my very first collection with them.” This collaboration is part of an ongoing partnership between Bluefly and Project Runway, which began with the first episode of Season IV and earned Bluefly the number-one rated television show brand integration of 2007, according to the IAG Research annual integration rankings. The relationship continues with Season V. Bluefly CEO, Melissa Payner said, “Christian Siriano is an extremely gifted young designer and we are thrilled to be the first retailer to offer his line to consumers. We worked closely with him to create this exclusive collection, maintaining all of the unique essence that people have come to expect from him while focusing on what we know will excite our customers to click and buy. And we are also excited to announce that we have created a series of behind-the-scenes videos that document the making of this collection with Christian. His endearing antics are what made him so loved by fans of Project Runway and we know Bluefly customers are anxiously waiting for more,” she added.

I gotta say … these pieces look pretty much like Christian Siriano designs. I’m not sure if he intentionally wanted to mimic pieces that he previously created (the hat, the ruffles, the skinny fit) but there’s no denying that these are Siriano originals. The design pieces have been given cute names like Posh, Dinner At 8 and London Guard — clearly inspired by the look and feel of the designs (and, very prolly, by Vicki B. herself). If you are interested in owning pieces from this collection you can order them online HERE. The shizz is pretty pricey (ranging from $290 to $590) but I expect that it’s bound to sell … right?

Bravo TV aired the second episode of the 5th season of Project Runway last night and for this ep they introduced a PR challenge first. Not only were the designers not allowed to shop for the materials they needed to use (that task was left up to their models) but they had to work with “green” eco-friendly materials for their entire design. This ep also featured a celebrity guest judge who is “green”-minded … someone I didn’t guess who appear on the show but, once she did reveal herself, made a perfect fit as guest judge … unfortch, her follow-thru and excitement level was severely lacking:

To be honest, I was very surprised at who got eliminated last night … and I was very impressed with a particular designer who is starting to get on my nerves (big time) but managed to pull off a very nice design in the end. After the jump, find out who was in, who was out and what went down on the ep entitled The Grass Is Always Greener …

Pink readers Hitomi and Saori give me the head’s up that Lauren LC Conrad, star of MTV’s The Hills, is featured on the cover of the new issue of the Japanese magazine called JJ. JJ is a fashion magazine targeted to 18-22 year old readers and seems to be under the impression that LC is, and I quote, “the No.1 Celebrity in USA”:

UHHHHH … yeah. I suppose if The New York Times can call Heidi Montag a “feminist hero” then it’s not too far a stretch for JJ magazine to label LC the “No.1 Celebrity in USA” — and by that I mean that both publications might’ve missed the mark just a touch. At least JJ magazine, as a foreign magazine, has an excuse for their … hyperbole? I don’t even know what to call this gross mischaracterization (and I sincerely hope they aren’t being serious). It’s kinda funny to think that the entire population of 18-22 years old girls in Japan are being led to believe that LC is the top celeb in the US when there are great numbers of folks right here in the US who have no idea who she is.

Amy Winehouse emerged from seclusion on the streets of London last night a couple of days after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was sentenced to 27 months in prison for attempting to pervert justice and a day after Madam Tussaud’s unveiled a wax statue in her honor … sadly, as usual, Amy was lookin’ quite messy, disheveled and totally frightful:

Glassy-eyed, matted beehive, blackened fingernails and scabbed skin. This is the real Amy Winehouse not captured by Madame Tussauds in their wax-brushed image of the troubled star. In their version of the chart-topping singer, Amy is seen with bright eyes, glossy hair, and glowing skin. The artists at Madame Tussauds must be losing their touch. Their wax version of Amy Winehouse doesn’t look like she’d even know how to start burning the candle at both ends. The remarkably fresh-faced figure was unveiled at the London waxworks yesterday to the delight of Miss Winehouse’s family. No doubt they’d never seen the troubled singer looking so well. Seen leaving her home last night with a coterie of hangers on, and with what looked like a marijuana joint in her mouth, the Rehab singer looked sweaty and disheveled as she got into a car to take her to the studio. It was the first time that Amy has been seen in public since it was announced that husband Blake is to serve 27 months for perverting the course of justice … Madame Tussauds believes Miss Winehouse, who stands next to models of Kylie Minogue and Michael Jackson, will be one of its most popular attractions. The 24-year- old singer is far from starstruck at the idea. “I thought you had to be dead almost before they made a waxwork of you,” she scoffed last week. Because she refused to pose for the artists, a team of 20 worked from a collection of photographs. It took more than four months to build. Yesterday, her father Mitch, who arrived with Miss Winehouse’s mother Janis, said he was “stunned” by the model.

Additionally, <strong>Mitch Winehouse joked with reporters that he would like to trade in the real Amy for the waxwork Amy — and you can see why. Not only will the wax statue have a longer shelf life but it looks much healthier than the real-live Amy does, too. Yikes.
