Block Party: Alife continues to take over anything south and east of Union Square. [Racked]

Cult Favorites: When it comes to Scientologist style, this overview only scratches the surface of a vast, tacky conspiracy. [Styledash]

Celluloid Heroes: 50 films that influenced men’s fashion. [Men’s Vogue]

A Face Only Page Six Could Love: Feeling down? Suffering from a low self image? Peek at the Post’s idea of a “babe magnet” and feel better? Or much, much worse. [NYPost]

Save Ferris!: These shoes go by pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss them. [Hype Beast]

Times Out: Yikes. We’ll be sure to watch what we say about Giorgio Armani from now on. Observer

Bar Shots, Loading Dager and Glenn's Dress Code

Belly Up to the Bar: Thank Бог someone out there is poking around Russian Elle for Bar Refaeli shots. [Goldenfiddle]

Casual Friday: We’re a little surprised that this internal memo from Interview on office dress code was even necessary. We could guess that this has something to do with the magazine’s new Capo di tutti capi, Glenn O’Brien—but then again, the guy doesn’t always hew to the rule himself. [Gawker]

Spice on Set: Failing fashion designer Victoria Beckham teams up with failing movie mogul Tom Cruise for what will almost certainly be Ben Stiller’s ugliest film since “Meet the Fockers”. [FemaleFirst UK]

Bowery Boy: Does John Varvatos even have time to design anymore with all these CBGBs questions? [NYTimes]

Cheap Shots: The best suits under $500 photographed by Scott “The Sartorialist” Schuman. [Men.Style]

Word Games: Watch as three out of four panelists stuff their feet straight into their mouths while attempting to define “Hipster.” [PSFK]

Shwing!: Tom Ford wants you to appreciate the human dingle as much as he does. [NYMag]

Kemptress: Bar Refaeli

What has Leo DiCaprio got that you haven’t? Well, Bar Refaeli for one, the startlingly stacked Israeli model he’s been keeping company with for the past couple years.

Considering the stilettos she’s stepping into here - Leo’s ex is if course The Gisele - Bar looks like beating the odds. She was the first Israeli chick to be admitted into the ranks of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue sirens and was recently named Best Body of 2008 by Arena magazine. To top it off she was just picked as the new face (and such) of Hurley, the Californian surf and skate company with a cult-like following.

The ads (above) will debut in the fall, when she’ll also be appearing in Tommy Hilfiger’s Iconic America TV special.

We’ll let you make your own “Bar none” joke.
