Amsterdam got their very first G-Star retail store on Thursday and who better to help with the grand opening than Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes!?

Dressed in head to toe G-Star, the Victoria's Secret Angelwas on hand to launch the G-Star Women selected by Vogue collection supporting dance4life, which Doutzen serves as an ambassador.

And as if the event couldn't get any better, all proceeds from the G-Star Women collection will be donated to dance4life to help young people prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS.

It was definitely a successful night because where else would you get great fashion, wonderful causes and Doutzen?!?

For lots of $$$!!

If you are super-rich and dream of unwarranted fame then you're in luck!

For this year's amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, Chanel fashion God Monsieur Karl Lagerfeld and super-producer Harvey Weinstein have masterminded a rather strange auction item…

The duo will transform the highest bidder into an instant celeb by featuring them in a short film styled/directed by Unkle Karl and produced by Weinstein!

Hmm.

So it is true! Anyone with enough cash money can become famous with the right minds behind them, regardless of actual talent!

Fantastic.

Exciting news!

Elton John will be headlining Fashion Cares this September!

The music legend has partnered with AIDS Committee of Toronto for the event, which is chaired by Elton's husband David Furnish, and will perform to promote the support and awareness of HIV/AIDS treatment and research.

Elton says of his involvement:

I consider myself an honorary Canadian, and I’m thrilled to be able to contribute to vital programs across Canada through this partnership. For both my foundation and ACT, Fashion Cares 25 provides an opportunity to pay tribute to those we have lost and to send an important message: HIV and AIDS are still prevalent both in Canada and throughout the world. I’m very happy about that and looking forward to it.

So far they've raised nearly $12 million for HIV/AIDS programs and with Elton's help we're sure the number will only increase!

Such a fashion forward couple!

Neil Patrick Harris and his committed partner David Burtka walked the red carpet in style at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party!

David, an E! correspondent, taped the Oscar pre-show in the afternoon, then headed to the music icon's annual event to watch the Academy Awards in style, writing on Twitter:

"The pre show was a blast. I wish I got to do more. Now we are on our way to the Elton John viewing party! Woohoo, what a fun day!”

Yeah, we're pretty jealous of this couple's life! Ha!

What do U think of their cool coordinated look? NPH is definitely dashing next to his man, who is dressed to the nines in Simon Spurr.

P.S. Check out more photos of NPH and David at Elton's party AND at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party (below)!
