Hermes Birkin bags are on FIYAH, and not because they're hot must-haves.

It wasn't enough that photographer Tyler Shields set a $100,000 Birkin on fire while girlfriend Francesca Eastwood watched, but now the luxury brand's torching the extremely expensive bags themselves!

So why are the bags being smoked?

Mulberry's Emma Hill revealed:

"A friend who was working at Hermes said that if there was even the most minor imperfection on a bag they would take it out the back and burn it — no compromise."

That's just terrible!

We think Hermes should just donate the imperfect bags so we can all have a little piece of fashion heaven, even if they are a bit damaged!

What do U think?!?

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.

Pennies!

We are SO glad 'Hollywood's photographer' can afford to be so frivolous when many can�t afford to stay alive!

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

Uh oh.

Ladies - and men who use anti-frizz products - if you bought Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum ANY TIME after Feb. 4th 2008 and live in California or New York, you could be due $$$ compensation!

Why, you might ask? Because the product is HIGHLY flammable, yet neglects to label itself as such!

And when used in conjunction with heated styling products

Watch out, Jennifer Lawrence… there's another girl on fire!

Rihanna caught a tube from the Waterloo station wearing a Maison Martin Margiela flame tee, leather jacket and her favorite pair of Christian Louboutin thigh-high boots.

Looking stylish as always, RiRi completed her look with a gold choker and some shades.

She was going to see Drake perform at the 02 Arena, but we'd also believe it if she was going to see The Hunger Games too.

It's been a horrible week for Madonna Badger.

After an accidental fire broke out in her Connecticut home on Christmas night and killed her parents and three children, autopsy results can conclude the cause of death.

For her mother and three children, smoke inhalation is to blame. For her father, however, he suffered a blunt force to the head after trying to rescue one of his granddaughters.

The fire was caused by "still-smoldering embers" thrown out by Madonna's boyfriend — carpenter Michael Borcino. He placed the ashes in a bag and either placed them in the mud room or right outside of the home's exterior wall.

The house did not have working smoke detectors.

Absolutely horrific. Our thoughts go out to Madonna Badger. We are feeling for her so much.

The Christmas Day fire that destroyed ad executive Madonna Badger's home and left her three children and parents dead was simply a "tragic accident" according to Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia.

Pavia said an initial investigation found the blaze was fireplace-related, but wouldn't go into specifics. Other reports say officials believe the fire may be the cause of improperly disposed of ashes from the yule log burned on Christmas Eve. One source close to the investigation adds:

"Someone dumped the ashes outside without making sure they were fully put out. Then the wind picked them up and blew them onto the house."

Stamford Fire Chief Antonio Conte also released details about where the bodies were located

This is so, so, so sad!

Advertising executive Madonna Badger, the woman behind Mark Wahlberg's iconic Calvin Klein ad, tragically lost her children and parents after her Connecticut home caught fire early Christmas morning.

The blaze spread so quickly that by the time firefighters arrived they were unable to reach Badger's 10-year-old daughter, Lily, 7-year-old twins, Sarah and Grace or her parents Lomer and Pauline Johnson on the second floor.

Madonna and her friend Michael Borcina were the only ones to survive the fire, which is currently under investigation by Stamford fire officials.

Such a tragedy!

Our thoughts go out to Madonna and her family during this extremely difficult time.
