"Perez, whatever you did to lose all that weight was worth it--you look fabulous! Even with that ridiculous blue hair. Malaria, you say? Well, it was worth it! You better thank the bug that bit you!" Just kidding, that's really Marc Jacobs chatting on the red carpet with artist Takashi Murakami who were both posing for pictures at the opening for his art show at MOCA's Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles. Conceptually, Murakami's work winks at pop culture and its obsession with commercialism. Demonstrating Murakami's marriage between art and commerce, the Louis Vuitton handbags that feature Murakami's art work--his recognizable, brightly-colored "LV"--are also available for purchase at the exhibit at a boutique present in conjunction with the exhibit.
The show sounds likes there would be plenty of art to look at, but if I were there, I think I'd be more preoccupied with checking out the attending celebrities. Perfectly-painted Dita Von Teese was there, as you can see below, along with power lesbian couple, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Skeletal stylist to the stars (with eating disorders) Rachel Zoe managed to conjure up a spell to get her bones to march on down to the event. Oh yes, and Kanye West was also there with his favorite accessory--his fiancee--on his arm.

I love Dita von Teese and her goth/glam style, which is undeniably hard to pull off, but does anyone else feel she is perma-ready for Halloween?

Well it's easy to see that this is an art show to skip. Not a single art-type celebrity (collector, someone who KNOWS about art: Gweneth, Madonna, other collectors) so you know this shit sucks bigtime. Wonder how Rumer managed to miss this red carpet. She'd have more than her 15minutes.
MOCA=sellout, LA style.

Looks like Mr.Franco is pulling off the Tom Jones look with all those curly locks of his!
The camera lights must've been all up in his mug, too! Where's those piercing brown eyes?! All we get here is the "MR. SQUINTY" look!
