Ms. Houston appeared on the popular French show "Le Grand Journal," looking absolutely flawless, to perform her new single, "Million Dollar Bill." There were some obvious sound problems with Whitney's mic but the singer still maintained her poise and showmanship to pull off another solid performance. Between straining to hear herself and trying to sing overtop of 3 background vocalists we give her credit for pulling this performance off.

The a capella rendition of "I Look To You" showed the singer in top form. And the highlight of the interview is when she corrects one of the interviewers for referring to her as "The Princess of R&B." Apparently he must have thought Ashanti was in the building. However, Ms. Houston quickly set the record straight. We love how diva she is. Even the ever stoic, fashion maven Karl Lagerfeld had to crack a smile and clap.

Prince is looking flawless as always but what the hell is happening to Rihanna's style? That outfit is horrid. Both artists rocked Chanel from almost head-to-toe. Who rocked it better? What do you think of Rihanna's outfit. Check out more photos after the jump.

In response Heidi Klum reportedly told Page Six:

“It’s bizarre to me that he says he doesn’t know who I am because he’s dressed me in the past. I’ve worn Karl Lagerfeld. Not even Chanel — his line. Lagerfeld doesn’t just send random things everywhere.” (Source: NY Mag)

Baptiste Giabiconi is everywhere these days. Wherever Mr. Lagerfeld goes you can find Giabiconi not too far behind. This time however, we finally get to see the model in clothes. This latest editorial is one of several shot by Karl Lagerfeld for the October issue of Vogue Germany. Vogue Germany is turning 30 and to commemorate this event the publication has enlisted Karl Lagerfeld, Bruce Weber and Peter Lindbergh to serve as guest editors with each of the legendary photographers delivering their own October issue of the magazine.

Being Karl Lagerfeld's muse clearly has it's perks. Baptiste Giabiconi snags the October cover of Wallpaper Magazine. Readers can pull the cover back to strip the model of his Dior Homme suit.

Baptiste Giabiconi, ranked by models.com as the #1 male model in the world, is also causing quite the stir with his new editorial in Purple Magazine. Barely clothed with the exception of a pair of black stilettos, Lagerfeld uses the male model to represent the iconic Newton Woman. The 14-page spread is a tribute to legendary photographer Helmut Newton who died in 2004 at the age of 83. Newton rose to fame through his work in French Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Playboy as he pioneered a style of photography that increasingly became overtly sexual and erotic with fetishistic undertones.
