On September 24, the world’s foremost trance & electronic producer and DJ, Tiësto (Tijs Michiel Verwest), kicked off a 175-date World Tour with three stellar nights at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The tour seeks to promote the October 20 release of his fourth studio album, Kaleidoscope. On the new album, Tiësto collaborates with such acts as Sigur Rós, Nelly Furtado, Calvin Harris, and Tegan & Sara. The first single released in July, “I Will Be Here,” has already been a hit in Europe and recently penetrated the iTunes Top 10 Dance Chart. This comes after a long string of successes, including a Grammy award for his album Elements of Life, numerous endorsement deals, the start of his label Musical Freedom, and five European #1s. Tiësto is one of the most sought-after producers, having remixed tracks by such epic headliners as Madonna, Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Tarkan, Kanye West, The Killers, and Maroon 5. Tiësto is not one to sit around, and the new album marks fresh developments in his musicianship and certainly solidifies his global popularity. We hunted Tiësto down during his New York visit to get the lowdown on his fast-paced globetrotting, in and out of the hottest nightlife venues around the world.

If you're combing the back alleys of Twitter for sentience, you may notice two things. First, you're looking in the wrong place; and second, #MFW is now trending. And with the trending of #MFW, we can put the kibosh on London Fashion Week and vault ourselves head first into the wild, fiery throes of Milan Fashion Week. How is Milan Fashion Week different than LFW and NFW? Well, apart from being a wholly different acronym, in Milan, risotto falls from the sky like rain. In Milan, fat little children do butterfly strokes in ponds of pasta sauce. In Milan, romance sparks and dreams do come true. But more important than your dreams is Anna Wintour. She's already started making the rounds, thereby rendering those other two metropoli -- so splattered with pigeon shit, they are! -- passé. And as far as designers go, some of the top contenders have already sent their latest designs down the runway. And the dapper rabble, they're pleased.

Now, here's what we call a neighborhood watch. Photography by Joe Lally. Styling by Carlos Davis. See full gallery.

Crystal Renn shows off skin-deep beauty in ads for Dolce & Gabbana, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue, and in her insightful new book, Hungry, she lets her inner beauty shine. But we wanted the full Crystal Renn experience, so we had to get to the bottom of her on-skin beauty. Luckily, she spilled her beauty bag and let us peek in.

Robert Pattinson and Megan Fox make sucking it sexy, Lady Gaga accessorized last night's VMA performance with it, and HBO makes it True: Blood is having its moment. While sporting a pair of plastic fangs is only cool in a middle school cafeteria, and stage blood should stay on stage (though it also makes unnecessary appearances in middle school cafeterias), fashion houses like Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, and Dolce & Gabbana have made fashionable interpretations of all the pop culture gore, sending modern-day vamps down their fall runways. With variations of pale skin, dramatic eyes, and blood-red lips, the look is perfect for a little bloodletting after hours, and with a few tweaks, can also be wearable at your day job.

Scarlett Johansson may not be taking maternity leave anytime soon, but she is taking some prenatal pointers. Though the face Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics may not have to travel far and wide for the best in beauty, the newlywed has been a secret advocate of the Sponge Skincare line, an all-natural, chemical free and organic brand developed by an OB/GYN in Greece to improve the circulation and overall rejuvenation of his pregnant patients. The products were never intended to be sold, but the original Jambes Lourdes Anti-Fatigue Leg Cream proved to be a therapeutic hit with women who swore it cured razor burn, cellulite, and muscle aches. After years of research, the obstetrician's family figured out a business plan that would preserve their all-natural standards and leave the tiniest carbon footprint behind -- to appease both pregnant women and their future offspring.

Once relegated to stages and poles, stratospheric shoes have stomped back onto the catwalk in a big way. Gucci went exotic, Pucci channeled Barbarella, Louis Vuitton embraced fetish and Prada took them fishing. This season, make no mistake: thigh’s the limit.

She came of age as the quietly brooding Angela Chase in TV’s cult series My So-Called Life. Now, after years spent turning Juliet on her head, romancing Steve Martin, dodging tabloid scandals and finding true love in the fine form of fiancé Hugh Dancy, Claire Danes has finally come into her own. (Check out a pair of exclusive bonus photos for this photo shoot.) On the eve of her bachelorette blow-out, the stage beauty, acting powerhouse and diehard New Yorker gets down to business—and her skivvies—while inviting Ray Rogers into the private world of America’s most grounded leading lady.

Ali Wise, the party-hearty princess behind fashion's two most powerful initials, was arrested Monday night on felonious computer hacking charges. Evidently, the renegade art of hacking isn't confined to introverted, sexually frustrated high school boys anymore -- now even fashion's elite are (allegedly!) taking on the invasive hobby.

If you thought Louboutin for Rodarte was the match of the century, think again and set your sights a little more guerilla.
