Stars React to Celebrity Nude Photo Leak at GQ Awards
Hollywood A-listers and legends from the music world have glammed up the red carpet at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.
Samuel L. Jackson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Pharrell, and Beatles drummer Ringo Starr were among the celebrity attendees at the lavish event.
A topic of conversation among celebrities and regular folk alike is the photo scandal that has seen naked pictures of over 100 celebrities stolen and posted online.
TV presenter Piers Morgan sympathises with the victims, but still makes an attempt at humour.
"I'm actually disappointed that he hasn't taken any of mine. But obviously he had a quality control valve on the naked celebrity element. No to be serious - it's pretty horrible for these actresses and I think that it's one of those situations when it'd be good to think that the public respond in a responsible way by not actually downloading these pictures, sending them around and perpetuating what is a pretty awkward invasion of their privacy."
Musician Jessie J also commented on the controversy:
"I think it's really awful and I think that nobody deserves to have their privacy tampered with. I think everyone deserves their sanity and sanity is privacy. I hope that it's sorted and that it doesn't happen again."
The FBI says it is investigating the case, but adds that any further comment "would be inappropriate at this time."
Designers to Showcase Latest Collections at New York Fashion Week
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is set to kick off in New York tomorrow.
Over 300 designers will showcase their Summer/Spring 2015 collections during the week.
Organizers refer to the week as the premiere industry event for designers around the world.
"It's an opportunity for designers to present their latest collection to the industry. To buyers, to editors, to press and to their clients. People come to view it and then hopefully place orders and then what gets ordered goes into production and that's what you see in the stores months later."
New York Fashion Week serves as the official international start to the global fashion week season.
It will run until next Thursday in New York's Lincoln Center.
