Despite his recent Parsons cancellation, John Galliano has been slowly reemerging ever since he was fired from Dior two years ago for his controversial Hitler remarks.

Now the designer is finally ready to open up about the incident in a new interview with Vanity Fair.

Hmm…maybe this is why he cancelled.

In the magazine's July issue, he will talk about the remorse he felt and his hopeful plan to return to design. While most of the details have been kept under wraps, it will be interesting to get an inside look into how his career has changed over the past two years.

In fact, even his publicist Liz Rosenberg is in the dark about the interview, revealing that she has "no idea because I haven’t seen the article, adding, "I don’t know if there’s a slant."

Hmm, we'd be interested to know. And, you better believe we'll be picking up a copy when the July issue hits shelves.

Seriously!?

Out of all the people in the world, Turkish company Biomen decided to use Hitler to hawk their line of shampoo for men.

In the commercial (above) Hitler can be heard saying:

"If you’re not wearing women’s clothes, you shouldn’t be using women’s shampoo either. Here it is. A real man’s shampoo. Biomen. Real men use Biomen."

Not surprisingly, this isn't sitting well with a lot of people and has prompted a lot of responses condemning the commercial.
