Bieber Fever spreads to fingertips. That's right, tween heartthrob Justin Bieber has collaborated with Opi's new Nicole line to design a collection of nail polish which hits Wal-Mart stores this December after which it will appear in Target, Sears and several other stores.

The collection will debut with six shades in this December; One Less Lonely Glitter (a metallic lavendar), Prized Possession Purple (grape), Give Me The First Dance (silver), Me + Blue (metallic blue), OMB! (metallic red), and Step 2 the Beat of my Heart (heart shaped specks). Come February, the collection will be made available at other stores, including Target and Sears.

Here's a first look at some of the colors:

Laugh if you must, but this little man with the popular haircut knows what he's doing or his managers do. Aside from his likeness splayed all over T-shirts, calendars and jewelry, he made a recent appearance on television's CSI, his 3D concert is soon to be released in theaters and he's soon launching "First Step 2 Forever: My Story", his first memoir.

Like Your Facebook Friends Enough To Hang Them On Your Wall?

Like your FB friends enough to immortalize them on a large printed poster? That's the idea behind grad student Benjamin Lotan's 'Printing Facebook', a custom printed Friend Poster. For $20, you can choose from your own friends, your favorite groups or fan pages and have each of the profile pics ganged on one photographic print.





Paper stock: Benjamin uses Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper, a high-quality professional grade paper with real weight that will not rip or fold easily. Your poster is exposed onto this paper and developed with traditional photo chemicals so it will have a richer image quality than any ink-jet printer process.


above left: the 5,000 pic poster is the largest Benjamin has printed to date and just about reaches the limit.

How many friends? The size of your friends' photos are optimized to fill out the full space, so the dimensions will depend upoon the total number of friends. The code is optimized such that your poster will look fantastic whether you have 200 friends, or up to 2,200 friends.

Custom options: You can decide how much space you want between your friends' pictures. If you want to maximize on the size of your friends photos you can even decide to print a poster with no margins at all.

For the background color, there are 4 options: black, white, and two shades of facebook blue. You can preview each color as you go through the ordering process.
*please note that your poster may print a few inches shorter than 40"

Kiehl's X Koons Limited Edition Collection Benefits Kids And Dry Skin.

Kiehl's has collaborated with world-recognized contemporary artist Jeff Koons (again*) to raise awareness - and funds- for kids in need.




Jeff Koons is using his creative genius and Kiehl's is using their brilliant body lotion (I kid you not, it's one of the greatest products ever made) to help children in need around the world. With the shared vision of creating safer, more sustainable environments for children, the partnership is raising awareness and funds through the sale of the 2010 Limited Edition Creme de Corps Holiday Collection, a four-product collection that includes 3 sizes of their awesome body lotion, each with a colorful Koons label and their newest formulation, Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter.

The Jeff Koons painting used for the Keihl's limited edition collection labels:

Keihl's has collaborated with artists several times before. Below is their 2009 Creme de Corps Holiday Collection with labels by KAWS:



100% of Kiehl’s net profits from the sale of each product will benefit The Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).

*This is not the first time Koons has lent his creative talents to Kiehl's. This past March, in celebration of Earth Day, Jeff Koons, along with Pharell Williams, Julianne Moore and Malia Jones created special edition labels for Kiehl's Acai Damage-Protecting Mist.
