We’ve seen them frolicking on the beach and having glamorous nights out in Los Angeles, and now Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton are bringing their love to a good cause. The engaged couple have posed for a London Fog charity campaign to help raise awareness for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which provides children with cancer and other serious illnesses a camping experience and extends year-round support to their families and health care providers. The ads, shot by Davis Factor, will appear in magazines starting in April. Click here to find out more about the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

If anyone is qualified to design a beachwear line, it’s Matthew McConaughey. The perpetually shirtless actor has honed his knowledge of swim trunks, flip flops and bandanas over the years — and now he’s adding a surf-inspired line to his j.k livin T-shirt line. The line of swimwear and beach accoutrements will be available on his website Matthewmcconaughey.com starting this summer, according to his rep. Tell us: Will you buy Matthew’s clothing line?

Leather jackets are definitely hot right now, and gold studs are always a great way to add edge to an outfit. But somehow, when we look at Mary-Kate Olsen’s leather jacket that she wore to the Sonia Rykiel show in Paris, we can’t help but think it’s a little too much. Those studs look like they could be weapons if she moved her arms too quickly! But we know that Mary-Kate always has a quirky style that ends up being quite influential, so we want to know what you think about her look. Tell us: Would you wear Mary-Kate’s studded leather jacket? Do you like the look on her?

Being a muse is nothing new to Christina Aguilera, whose retro-inspired fashion sense is appreciated by many the world’s top designers and stylists — and jeweler Stephen Webster is no exception. The London-based designer, who is known for his unconventional, modern jewelry, has just selected the star as the face of his new Spring 2008 advertising campaign. The ads, which feature the singer swathed in his luxe collection of necklaces, cuffs, rings, and earrings, play on the singer’s Old Hollywood glamour while giving a nod to classic Hitchcock films like Rear Window. And although the pair’s business arrangement is new, the star has long been a fan of Webster as a designer — and a person. “Stephen and I have been friends for many years,” Aguilera says, “He is a wonderful designer with a creative spirit and innovative vision, and I am honored to be a part of it all.” And we can’t wait to see the rest of the campaign when it launches in the April issue of W Magazine.
