Celebs + Fashion= Industry Take Over!


Celebs are branching out into new genres everyday. From Fergie designing for Kipling to Chloe Sevigny designing a line for Opening Ceremony; its a complete industry take over. Well now we can add Rachel Bilson to the list. She's collabing with DKNY Jeans for a line this fall. Dubbed Edie Rose, the line is said to consist of sportswear, denim, and only a few colorful pieces; 15 in total.

It's A Girl!

Well she can't stay pregnant forever...but I'm pretty sure Halle Berry won't mind.

The Oscar-winner gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday morning and "is doing great," her rep has confirmed. The father is Berry's boyfriend of two years, 32-year-old model Gabriel Aubry. This is the first child for both.

No name has been confirmed, but I wonder what type of fruit or U.S. city the little one might be named after, we'll just have to wait and see!

Paris's BFF Search

Don't worry, Paris and Nicole aren't feuding again, Paris is just realizing that her BFF may have new responsibilities at home, i.e. baby Harlow. So, with Nicole Richie technically out, Paris is looking for a new someone to keep her company.

The heiress and MTV have teamed up to create a reality show that will feature Hilton's search for a sidekick, tentatively called Paris Hilton's My New BFF.

What would it really be like as Hilton's BFF? Well according to the source herself...

"...there's nothing that's really hard," Hilton told PEOPLE at the Hollywood Hills launch party where the series was announced. "I'm going to be in my element in Los Angeles and really showing these women my life, which is completely different than
The Simple Life."

And what is Paris looking for in a BFF?

"Someone that I just trust and not someone who's going to stab me in the back - it's happened a lot in this town. Just someone who I can have fun with, someone who could be like my sister."

Sounds easy enough.

The Rumors Are False


George Clooney is NOT engaged! (THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!)

I mean, I know that him and girlfriend of less than a year Sarah Larson are getting more and more serious by the day, and that she technically is the only girlfriend he has ever brought to the Oscars, blah blah blah, but still he has not made that big step just yet. (THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!)

Reports of the engagement were posted in the British version of Marie Claire, where a restaurant worker from the Italian town where Clooney's villa is located was quoted as saying that Clooney and Larson were engaged. The reports were in an article under the headline, "George Clooney to Marry?"

Clooney responded through his rep by saying that "these reports are not true."

Phew...America's (and obviously my) favorite bachelor is still, well just that, our favorite bachelor!

It's On!

Watch out Scarlett Johansson, Kristin Davis is giving you a run for your money!

Not only is the Sex and the City star auctioning off a meet-and-greet to her highly-anticipated SATC movie premiere in May, but a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes will go to the winner as well!

With both of their proceeds benefiting Oxfam America, Davis's celeb auction will begin March 12, the same day that Johansson's ends, and will run through March 22.

And a little FYI to all you high bidders out there, Johansson's auction is up to $38,200!

I can't even imagine what Charlotte's will be like!

Happy Bidding!

Winners of the Week

Two very big shows had two very big episodes this week.

Not only did Project Runway reveal its winning designer on Wednesday, but just last night American Idol's top 12 was decided.

Christian Siriano proved that "fierceness" was just what Heidi Klum was looking for as he (emotionally) took the title of best designer of the hit-show's fourth season. Siriano, from Annapolis, MD and the youngest contestant to ever win, achieved another difficult task as well...he made the one and only Posh smile. Victoria Beckham, who joined Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia on the judging panel for the final runway show, admitted that Siriano's collection was something that she would wear and in her own words said, "It was major."

Click here to check out Siriano's "fierce" collection.

In-between all those nail-biting commercial breaks, Ryan Seacrest finally revealed which singers will compete next week in American Idol's top 12 last night. Although it was sad to see the four contestants leave, it will be exciting to see how the top 12 will perform as the stakes get higher.

Idol's Top 12:

Michael Johns
Seyesha Mercado
David Archuleta (!)
Carly Smithson
David Cook
Ramiele Malubay
Jason Castro
Kristy Lee Cook
David Hernandez
Brooke White (!)
Chikezie
Amanda Overmyer
