Kristen Wiig goes glam for "V Magazine"

We already know Kristen Wiig is quite a character, but this is a new approach, even for her. The latest issue of V Magazine features an interview with Wiig along with some very unique looks, including Brigitte Bardot as a Geisha, Frida Kahlo in Bollywood and Carmen Miranda as a Vegas showgirl.

You must admit, the woman looks good with fruit on her head. And even though V is definitely a style mag, Wiig vehemently disagrees with the assertion, made most recently in Vanity Fair, that a woman has to be pretty to get a laugh.

“I think that if you're funny and people respond to you, it shouldn't matter what you look like. I guess I don't believe in ‘have tos’ when it comes to that kind of stuff," she tells V.

Miss Piggy goes Gaga

We knew that admittedly kinky Lady Gaga has no qualms about bringing a green puppet date to the VMAs, but now she may transform into a muppet herself.

The crazy yet fabulous Miss Piggy is set to star alongside long time crush, boyfriend, love interest Kermit the Frog, who escorted and smooched Gaga herself on the red carpet. Normally Miss Piggy would throw a fit in the face of such infidelity, but it seems she may have a no-so-secret human alter ego in Lady Gaga. In the upcoming film, The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made, the wildly boisterous Frank Oz oinker will be Lady Gaga–inspired.

How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel penned the script and reportedly "envisions the modern Miss Piggy living indulgently and arty abroad." Said a source:

Styled Out: A tribute to Alexander McQueen

In a final tribute and goodbye, the fashion industry, friends and fans from all over the world came came together this past Monday for the last runway show of late designer Alexander McQueen. If you are unaware, McQueen was found dead in his London home last month. He took his own life.

For the less concerned about labels, the man was the totally brilliant mind behind many of Lady Gaga's provocative and boundary-bending stage wear. He was also an out gay man and outfitted celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Camilla Belle.

His last hoorah was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing some of his most remarkable pieces yet, a myriad of textures and colors that left guests gaping. I checked it out for myself, and I can attest that they were not just pity points. Renaissance flair and fluff appear to be the inspiration which I found awfully refreshing. I'm loving getting back to my '90s roots right along with the rest of you but it was nice to have a new idea thrown my way.

Bisexual women get some love on "Millionaire Matchmaker"

If you are the kind of person who can spend an entire rainy Saturday in your pajamas with nothing to entertain you but your TV and a plate of brownies (don't judge!), then you know the high value of Bravo's reality programming. It's a delicious mix of of gays, friends of gays, employees of gays, panels of gays, professional gays, wannabe gays, famous gays, housewives from every corner of the country, and all-inclusive train wrecks. Unfortunately, Millionaire Matchmaker is the exception to Bravo's rule, as Patti Stanger always seems to tie gays to the train tracks.

So, imagine our surprise when Cupid-to-the-rich decided to hook-up a bi-curious divorcee with a woman on this week's episode.

Meet Tricia Cruz, a "free-spirited 38 year-old ... who is thinking about switching teams and dating women."
