Fab Read: Role Play Rene

If you loved Brian Atwood's steamy ad campaign, wait until you see his new book, named Role Play Rene.

If you loved Brian Atwood's steamy ad campaign, wait until you see his new book, named Role Play Rene. Although we can't actually purchase the book — only 1,000 copies were printed for Atwood’s close friends and fans — we can still admire the photos and let our imaginations run wild.

The book is said to revolve around Atwood's Spring line and features Rene Russo wearing the designer's decadent footwear in an array of sexy situations. “I wanted an icon, and I loved her in the Thomas Crown Affair,” said Atwood. “Rene is beautiful, fun, talented. It was fun to see the ‘supermodel’ come out of her.” Rene Russo in Atwood's sultry shoes? Must. See. More.

Brian Atwood, Rene Russo Collaborate On a Little Shoe Fetishism

>> Designers seem to have a new fixation on pairing mature women with younger men when it comes to advertising their accessories.  First, Karl Lagerfeld paired up 52-year-old Jerry Hall with Baptiste Giabiconi for Chanel handbags, and now, Brian Atwood cast 55-year-old Rene Russo to sex his Spring 2009 footwear up with Jon Kortajarena, Tom Ford-style (Jon is even Tom's campaign model of choice).  The steamy scenes were shot by Tony Duran over a period of two days at Russo's home, and are being collected in a limited-edition book, Role Play Rene, for Atwood to pass out.  Russo and Atwood didn't even meet until the shoot, but celebrated the 1,000 editions last night with a dinner in LA and tonight, will be feting again in New York tonight at a party hosted by Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.

Fab Ad: Brian Atwood Spring '09

High heels, fine models, and lots of skin.

High heels, fine models, and lots of skin. Is it just me, or is it hot in here? For his Spring '09 ad campaign, Brian Atwood took the sexy route and showed us how wearing the perfect pair of shoes can make any guy swoon. Shot by Tony Duran, the ad depicts Jon Kortajarena lusting over Rene Russo (random)'s sexy array of footwear. Jon is so close to Russo's feet, he's practically making out with Atwood's racy collection of python sandals and gold heel stilettos. Talk about having a foot fetish! What do you think about the hotness?

Kristen Bell and Rob Thomas, Together Again?

If Rob Thomas is the busiest man in television, then his former Veronica Mars star, Kristen Bell, may be about to be the busiest woman.

If Rob Thomas is the busiest man in television, then his former Veronica Mars star, Kristen Bell, may be about to be the busiest woman. E! is reporting that Bell is in talks to join one of Thomas' three shows this fall. And here's a hint: It's not 90210 .

Instead, the gossip is that Bell will be offered the role of one of the daughters in Outrageous Fortune, Thomas' remake of a New Zealand series about a family of criminals trying to give up their scheming ways. Rene Russo is reportedly in talks to play the mother, who is inspired to start a legit life when her husband is jailed. In the New Zealand version of the show, the family has two daughters: Pascalle, a wannabe model who spends a lot of time lazing around and waiting to be discovered, and Loretta, a vaguely goth-y teen who spends a lot of time hanging out at the local video store without actually working there. Does either sound like a role for Bell?

I like the idea of seeing the former crime-solver hanging around with a family of criminals, but really, how on earth is Bell going to do it? She's the voice of Gossip Girl, and she's probably also coming back to Heroes, at least for a little while. But hey, if Thomas can have three shows, why not K-Bell?

Brad Pitt

George & Sarah Hobble Out For Michael Clayton

After his scary Friday afternoon motorcycle accident, George Clooney stepped out in NYC last night for the premiere of Michael Clayton, arm in crutch with his girl Sarah.

After his scary Friday afternoon motorcycle accident, George Clooney stepped out in NYC last night for the premiere of Michael Clayton, arm in crutch with his girl Sarah. Broken toes aside, she looked mighty happy to be alongside her man - can't say I blame her. Along with George's costars in the movie a slick looking Brad Pitt, an ugh, why Kate Walsh and sexed-up (surprise, surprise) Ellen Barkin all came out. The night was about the movie, but the red carpet was most definitely for asking George about his accident. In typical George fashion he laughed it off with quips and jokes. Here's more:

"I'm a little dinged up – lots of Neosporin," Clooney told PEOPLE at the New York event. "I'm definitely not jogging or doing jumping jacks."

He added that he and Larson are "just resting."

"You don't really want to rub or massage parts that are broken or anything," he said.

It's good to hear that both George and Sarah are doing better after the accident - it could have been so much worse. Something tells me Sarah will take him up on those massages once she's feeling a little better.
