For those of you thinking, Gerard Butler…who? He played the lead in the movie 300 and according to WWD prior to Saturday he had no idea who Naomi Campbell was.

Despite being committed to walk for Rosa Cha at Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Naomi who currently faces 200 hours of community service for her angry antics in April aboard a BA flight at Heathrow airport proved that the show still goes on and made a guest appearance on the catwalk for D&G’s men’s show in Milan over the weekend.

Fashion. Some love to hate it, we love to love it. Last season Marc Jacobs was the villain we loved to hate, this season…well lets just say that Galliano has taken over where Jacobs left off. Dior’s collection for Autumn/Winter 08 has been condemned by the critics. In one collection he’s swiftly fallen from grace. But you know what? In what’s been a bland fashion season, at least he’s given us something to talk about.
