It has been released that Lee McQueen indeed commit suicide and thus died as a result of asphyxiation and hanging. Now, the Gucci group, which have a 51 percent stake in McQueen’s company, have announced that the brand will continue despite the designers death.

Robert Polet, president and chief executive officer of Gucci Group commented, "We believe in the future of the brand. Lee was very proud of the people working in his company, and so am I." According to the latest figures, McQueen's business had weathered the recession storm pretty well with sales in excess of £23 million in 2008 as they opened boutiques in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

According to WWD, McQueen’s inspirations ranged from Byzantine art and Old Master paintings to the carvings of Grinling Gibbons, and each look was worn with a bronzed cap, some spiked with a Mohawk of gilded leaves like a Roman war helmet. The show notes for the final collection were, “Each piece is unique, as was he.” This will be Lee Alexander McQueen’s final collection. He will not be forgotten, R.I.P.

Here's a view of the 16 showpieces from Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2010 collection presented in Paris recently.

Madonna Coming to Glee.

sneezeniz — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:09:42 -0800

Guess who's coming over Glee in the upcoming episodes? None other than music's biggest name, Madonna.

The Material Girl has too much in her hands this 2010, there's the directing and designing projects, but I'm more excited about the April episode of Glee, which features the Cheerios and the Gleeks performing Madonna songs - and Madonna songs only. Entertainment Tonight got a sneak peek, with glimpses of Sue in a cone bra and a snippet of the song "Express Yourself."

I can't wait to see the cameo from the superstar herself.

Avatar Novel?

The trend usually is that books turn into movies, but not to James Cameron. After the ridiculously huge success of Avatar, Cameron confirmed that he's planning to turn the story of Pandora into a novel. It sounds like Cameron will be using the book as a vehicle to give even more detail to the movie.

I'm not really sure what to expect from the book, but we'll see when it hits the shelves.

New Translation Function for Google Goggles

sneezeniz — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:57:47 -0800

When we translate languages, there's the help of Google Translate. Wait until you see the new function within Google Goggles! It's still in the experimentation phase, but ideally you can just snap a picture of something you need translated -- a street sign, a menu, directional aids -- and Google Goggles will send your pic to the server and have a response back to you with translated text in seconds. Check out the demo video straight from Barcelona:

Mind blowing isn't it?
