Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Russell Brand hit out at the GQ Awards sponsors Hugo Boss claiming the company's founder was a "Nazi."
The 38-year-old star picked up the Oracle of the Year award at the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in central London Tuesday night, but he referred to the history of sponsors Hugo Boss - who formally apologized in 2011 for their maltreatment of 140 Polish and 40 French workers - and they founder, who became a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany in 1931 and supplied uniforms to the Sturmabteilung, Schutzstaffel, Hitler Youth, National Socialist Motor Corps, and other party organisations
Russell also made light of his accolade and made a jibe at his friend Noel Gallagher, who was sharing a table with him: "Oracle? That's got to be a made up award so I would turn up. It was also a great source of news when I was growing up, alongside Teletext. I would like to thank that pixelated news source and say to Noel, good luck being more offensive than that son!"

SNL’s Stefon to Appear at the CFDA Awards?
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Calling all organizers of the CFDA Fashion Awards! Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader has given the greenlight to attend the ceremony as his Ed Hardy-loving Weekend Update City Correspondent character, Stefon.
When asked about whether or not he would be up for bringing Stefon to a real-life event like the CFDA Awards, he said yes! "I would like that. That would be fun. We did something for an autism benefit at the Plaza Hotel, so we've done it outside the show before, and it was a lot of fun. So yeah, I would totally do that [if asked]."
Considering that SNL's head writer and cast member Seth Meyers is hosting this year's CFDA event, the idea may not be as far-fetched as one would think...
The CFDA Fashion Awards will take place on Monday, June 4th at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
