Just Creepy (Times Two)

At BaT, we aren't fashion experts. We prefer Banana Republic to Prada. But is it just us, or is this sh'aria-inspired outfit the creepiest thing you've ever seen? (Hat tip: Drudge)



And the photo caption leaves us completely clueless:

We're pretty sure if some designer featured the Confederate battle flag -- a widely proclaimed symbol of repression -- then some helpful AP photo editor would explain to us the significance of the fashion "inspiration."

Speaking of creepy, is there anyone out there who thinks Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer/companion/possible-baby-daddy, is a good person with good intentions? Anna Nicole's mother is trying to find out the whereabouts of her granddaughter, and this is his response.

As for Stern, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight reporter Mark Steines, he said Daniellynn is the only thing keeping him alive.

"If it wasn't for Daniellynn ... it's the only reason why I'm here," Stern said. "[Arthur is] trying to get the baby ... [I] despise that woman ... as long as I have one breath left in my body ... that woman will not see Daniellynn."

Maybe he's grief-stricken ... being present at the deaths of your girlfriend and your almost stepson in the past few months might do that to you. And maybe there's some history of hatred there between the mother and Stern. But is this something a normal person says to a reporter, just days after the woman he supposedly loves dies?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark ... and this one has nothing to do with Hamlet.
