Who knew you could do so much with lipstick!

A 330 pound sculpture now sits in the Palais de Tokyo museum, and it’s made of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture No. 1 lipstick!

The vivid piece, entitled 1M3 de beaute, or one cubic meter of beauty, was made by artist Fabrice Hyber as a part of his Raw Materials exhibition.

He eloquently explained his choice to use the lipstick, saying

After all that??

So, people can shut their mouths now because the $100,000 Hermes Birkin that was destroyed in a Tyler Shields photo shoot was a total fake!

After pics were released showing Tyler's girlfriend Francesca Eastwood taking a chainsaw and some lighter fluid to the expensive red crocodile handbag, the two received intense negative criticism, including some death threats!

But, now, experts say that there is no way the purse was authentic.

Shock value 'photographer' Tyler Shields is doing something 'controversial' again!

Shields rustled up a red chainsaw, some lighter fluid and girlfriend Francesca Eastwood to destroy an iconic red crocodile Hermes Birkin bag (above) that's only worth like… $100,000.

Check out Tyler's 'artistic' process (below) as he destroys something worth more than what most people make in a year.

Marc Jacobs turned lemons into lemonade when graffiti artist Kidult tagged the word "ART" in hot pink letters all over the designer's Soho boutique.

Then, in a majorly cocky move, he posted the picture on his Twitter.

Instead of getting angry, Marc Jacobs got even and decided to put the picture on a t-shirt and sell it for $689.

He tweeted the (above) shirt and wrote:

"Available now for $689. Signed by the artist, $680."

Ouch!

Kidult responded with this:

@MarcJacobsIntl … ??? LET'S PLAY, but we don't play the same rules!

Then, he retweeted a follower who called Marc Jacobs a "capitalist thief."

It's not even a fair game!

Which side are U on??
