It worked! Kind of.
As you may recall, Danny Glover asked Hollywood's A-List community to not wear Hugo Boss to the Academy Awards as a way of protesting the company's closing of their Cleveland, Ohio based plant.
And they listened!
Hugo Boss themselves said "…due to the recent boycott spearheaded by actor Danny Glover, our wardrobing efforts were significantly diminished for this year's Academy Awards."
Despite the small victory, the plant's 300 employees will still be losing their jobs come April.

While tuning into the 52nd Grammy Awards, some viewers were so enraged by what performers like Lady GaGa, Beyonce and Pink were wearing they filed complaints with the FCC!
Seriously?
Here are some hilarious, misspelled and grammatically incorrect highlights from the complaints:
From Pittsburgh, PA:
During the viewing of the Grammy award ceremony, we witnessed Lady Gaga (if you could call her a lady) show the viewing audience her mostly bare behind, and frontal crotch area. I had children watching and do not appreciate what I would consider inappropriate dress…
From Savannah, TX:
Please fine them and compel whomever puts such smut on the television to make it viewable for people of all ages - and that includes commercials (so no Enzyte, feminine products, cheat on your spouse ads either) - or find some way to prevent shows like this from being aired on television at all.
From Douglasville, GA:
The Grammy's 1st 3 acts were outlandish! Lady Gaga was barely covered below the belt! Her rear end was very exposed and that is inappropriate. Pink wore a nude suit, however you could see her tattoo's through the suit so I am apt to believe that you could see her rear end while dangling from the ceiling. Beyonce grabbed her crotch and proceeded to get down on her knees where her breast almost fall out of her dress…My children were watching this durning PRIME TIME and this is what they view. How disappointing this was. I had to explain to a 10 year old why turning on a tv now is a hazard!From Lawrenceville, GA:
…beyonce simulated fellatio+lady gaga's nude buttocks and vagina was publically aired to the public. too pink did her routine in an outfit which only covered 5% of her.cbs publically aired to the public which we are all totally disgusted by shots of pinks nude buttocks&shots of lady gagas nude buttocks and vagina&direct shots of pinks nude vagina which was very barely covered…cbs should be fined BILLIONS just to insure the cbs does not ever publically air female nudity or shots of women performing a simulated sex or sex act ever again.From Pineville, NC:
The opening act (8pm) was Lady GAGA. Show and she went too far in the costumn. The lower section of her skimmy attire-is best described as a thong. Just barely enough to cover her lower pubic hair area and she literally showed her buttocks as she ascended stairs-which revealed her exposed butt! Very inappropriate for the 8 pm viewing slot. This is the 2nd time Lady (?) Ga Ga was allowed GaGa to expose her bare buttocks on TV. Ga Ga and Jewel both pushed the envelope last night and lost us a viewers. Clean it up or send um to an R rated station! Who's minding the store, before this stuff airs in 8 PM slot?
It's hard to take these complaints seriously when they don't know how to spell or even know who was actually performing.
What do U think? Were the outfits too scandalous???

And he should be!
Ryan Seacrest is getting terrible reviews for his red carpet coverage this past weekend. The pint-size host focused more on getting chatty with the celebs rather than sticking to what millions of people are wanting to know: who they're wearing.
But E! is standing by their man. The network's president of production, Kevin MacLellan, president says "Ryan did absolutely everything we wanted him to do. Nobody gets the kind of interviews he gets."
True, but at the same time half the hype of any awards show is to see who's wearing what designer!
Plus, no one really wants to hear that bobble head Giuliana Rancic more than they have to.
What did U think of Seacrest's red carpet coverage???

See, good things can come out of being a contestant on Project Runway.
Designer Chris March, who appeared on Season 4 of the fashion reality show, had the pleasure of designing not one but two dresses for actress Meryl Streep.
The first was a black ensemble that she wore to the Golden Globes and most recently to Sunday night's Oscars. After almost fainting to first go around, Chris was more calm when she dialed him up again.
So how did he come up with her latest dress?
March explains:
"She was dying to wear two matching Fred Leighton Art Deco black and diamond bracelets, and wanted something white and Old Hollywood glamour to go with them. Her only requirement was a fabulously plunging neckline. I worked on a classic but modernized silhouette [and] I think we really knocked it out of the park; between the hair, makeup, jewelry and the dress she is all over the Best Dressed Lists. She is an absolute jewel!"
We must say, Meryl looked absolutely lovely on the red carpet. The design was perfect!
What did U think of Miz Streep's dress???
