Going Gaga at Thierry Mugler's Paris Fashion Show

Fashion and music are symbiotic. Back in 2009, Lady Gaga premiered her song, Bad Romance, at the Alexander McQueen show (Missed it? Catch it here.) This season, Gaga mixes it up with a remix of Born This Way for Thierry Mugler's menswear show, which kicked off Paris Fashion week on January 19th. Given that Gaga's stylist, Nicol Formichetti, now heads up the label, it makes sense for these two to collaborate. You can watch the dark, pulsating video with repetitive German lyrics here.

Directed by fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco, this moody black and white short film, signals the rebirth of the label under Fromichetti. Stripped down to the basics, the label is now known simply as Mugler.

On the runway, there was the requisite twist on black, but there were also splashes of orange (Yes, you read that right!) suits to break up the monotones. Black make-up, white veils, and an eclectic melange of fabrics added visual texture. Think Thriller meets Berlin.

Although Lady Gaga was credited as "musical director of this menswear project", the Lady herself was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she didn't want to detract from the runway.

While we're on the subject of music idols, you can win a trip to the American Idol finale and the opportunity to snag $10,000,0000 or $10,000 in the AT&T $10,000,000 Idol Sweepstakes. That's enough to create your own song or short film in Paris. Idle on over and enter.

Ryan Seacrest Proposes in Paris?

According to the December 13, 2010 issue of the National Enquirer, Ryan Seacrest proposed to his girlfriend, Julianne Hough, in Paris over Thanksgiving, but now Julianne's brother, Derek Hough, is telling the press that the Burlesque star doesn't have a wedding planned for the near future. Perhaps that's why the lovebirds weren't alone in the City of Light. Ryan's father Gary, his mom, Connie, as well as his sister, Meredith, accompanied them.

People magazine says Seacrest and Hough popped into Lumas on Rue de Seine where the American Idol host, purchased a limited edition Larry Yust photograph of a Paris Metro station. Later, Seacrest's group lunched at Frederic Simonin.

The day after Thanksgiving, Seacrest and Hough braved the cold to catch the sold out Monet exhibit at the Grand Palais. Then, they hit up Christian Louboutin and left the boutique with three pairs of new shoes.

In between, the happy couple were seen shopping at Dior and kissing and cuddling on their hotel terrace. But the real question is: when and if Ryan proposes, how will he do it?
