John Galliano's drunken anti-Semitic rant got him fired from Christian Dior, and now one of his fashion colleagues is speaking out.

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfield released the following statement:

    "I’m furious, if you want to know. I’m furious that it could happen, because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy in that story.

    The thing is, we are a business world where, especially today, with the Internet, one has to be more careful than ever, especially if you are a publicly known person. You cannot go in the street and be drunk — there are things you cannot do... I’m furious with him because of the harm he did to LVMH and [chairman and ceo] Bernard Arnault, who is a friend, and who supported him more than he supported any other designer in his group, because Dior is his favorite label. It’s as if he had his child hurt."


Ouch! Aside from this drama, Galliano did get some good news regarding a recent case involving trademark rights to his famous name. A U.N.-appointed arbitrator just ruled that the domain name galliano.fr must be given to the designer within the next ten days.

As for the alleged anti-Semitic rant, Galliano has issued an apology. Read what he had to say ... after the jump.

Bristol Palin Memoir To Hit Book Shelves This Summer

Posted on Wed Mar 2nd, 2011 1:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff

trendypalin230.jpgAnother member of the Palin fam is writing a book!

It’s just been announced Bristol Palin’s memoir, Not Afraid of Life, will hit book shelves sometime this summer.

Even though she's a mere 20-years-old, the teen mommy has lot to say. Her publisher William Morrow, the same company who published mom Sarah Palin's books, released a statement on the upcoming memoir Tuesday.

The publisher reveals:

    “Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, including her family and the faith that keeps her centered. [Bristol will] open up about the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother’s political rise and coping as her relationship with her baby's father crumbled publicly."


Sounds interesting. Bristol will also touch on her experience with Dancing With The Stars, dishing on details including "the aching hours of practice, the biting criticisms, and the thrill of getting to the show's finals.”

Palin recently purchased a home in Maricopa, Ariz., where she's attending Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.

Will Bristol's books sales surpass her mom's?

In response to the controversy, Gisele admitted, "I do use sunblock, but also I try my best not to be exposed to the sun when it is too strong. I definitely know the importance of using sunscreen and I try to look for more natural options." Whew!

Justin Bieber’s Hair Sells For $40,668 On eBay

Posted on Wed Mar 2nd, 2011 12:07pm PDT       By X17 Staff

jbieberuk021611_230.jpgSomeone was really eager to own a piece of Justin Bieber's luscious locks!

A day after getting his hair cut, "The Biebes" made a special cameo on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to give the daytime host a piece of his hair for an auction benefiting her favorite charity.

Bieber's hair, which came in a signed box, won a whopping $40,668 on eBay this week. The Gentle Barn Foundation, Ellen's favorite animal rescue charity, has a lot of money coming its way!

The winning bidder will also get a chance to meet Bieber the next time he appears on DeGeneres' show, which is probably part of the reason the hair sold for such an outrageous sum.

We can't wait to see who paid almost half a hundred grand to meet "The Biebes"!

Snooki Blasts Off On The Cover Of Rolling Stone

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi graces the latest cover of Rolling Stone, and the reality TV star chats about her rise to fame, finding love and what her plans for the future are.

Snooki says she always watches Jersey Shore, but she rarely likes what she sees. "If I do something stupid, which is pretty much the whole time, I hate it," she says. "I just hate it. Obviously, they're only going to put the good stuff in, and the good stuff is us drunk, so all I'm seeing is me drunk and falling down. That's how I am when I party, but some of the stuff I do is, like, 'Really, Nicole?' I look like a freakin' alcoholic. I'm like, 'You're sweating, your makeup is running, you look gross.' I just look like sh*t."

Snooki says the fame from the show "messes with your head" and that's why the stars all drink so much. So what about her love life? "The only person I've had sex with on Jersey Shore is my boyfriend," she says. "The guys you see me bring home, we're only cuddling and making out like any other person would do, but we're on camera and the whole world's seeing it, and it does look like I'm having sex."
