Lauren Conrad to Launch New Designs on MTV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Lauren Conrad is to launch her new fashion line on her upcoming reality TV show.
The former The Hills actress - who has created collections for Kohl’s in the past - revealed her new high-end range will be debuted on her MTV reality show, but the 24-year-old star has admitted she is ready for the “stress” which will undoubtedly come alongside designing the new line.
“We’re in the very beginning process. We just submitted all of our tech packs for samples, so it’s in the very early stages. It will get stressful after this, when you’re dealing with deadlines, and you’re dealing with production and the possibility of a fashion show. That’s kind of when all the stress comes in. So, right now we’re just picking colours and doing samples.”
Lauren - who began her fashion career working as an intern for Teen Vogue in Los Angeles - also revealed she has enlisted the help of her friends to create the collection, which consists of a whole host of wardrobe “basics.”
“We haven’t started filming yet, so stay tuned! But my roommate and one of my best friends are running the company, the business end, and another one of my good friends, Gary, is doing kind of the creative direction. I do a lot of basics, so we have a great blazer, a high-waisted black skirt and biker jacket, and all those pieces can be traded throughout. It’s a lot of layering, a lot of switching-up, so you can get more mileage.”

Remember that annoying MTV show where Ashton Kutcher pulled pranks on unsuspecting celebrities and the odd average person?
Rumor has it the cable network is planning to bring Punk’d back—this time, with teen sensation Justin Bieber as host. Sources say that MTV has already approached the 16-year-old singer about relaunching the show that originally debuted on MTV in 2003.
Ashton Kutcher will remain in the Punk’d family, this time serving as executive producer. Kutcher stopped hosting the series in 2007.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress to Be Preserved
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
So what is to become of Lady Gaga‘s infamous VMA meat dress? Beef jerky, of course! Unfortunately for die-hard monsters, it’s not jerky one can eat…
“The dress will go through a process where it becomes a sort of ‘jerky.’ The meat dries out, rather than rotting. But it shouldn’t be worn again,” said the designer of the dress, Franc Fernandez.
Additionally, it would appear as if the dress was the first and the last made of the animal parts: “There’s not going to be meat dresses in the future. This was made for a specific purpose. It’s what it is.”

2010 VMAs: Chelsea Handler’s Best Moments
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Cable, MTV, Video,
Judging from the unkind comments in his blog, Perez Hilton wasn’t thrilled with Chelsea Handler as the VMA host…but the ratings tell a different tale. Sunday’s broadcast was the highest-rated VMA for MTV since 2002, a fact Handler herself pointed out to Perez on Twitter.
We think the numbers are well-earned. Chelsea Handler got the show off to great start with two very funny opening skits, one featuring a surprise Lindsay Lohan appearance (viewable in the video above). See more of Chelsea’s best VMA moments after the jump.

Review: World of Jenks Sneak Peek
If you kept your channel tuned to MTV after the VMAs (which ran long, big shocker), you saw the premiere of the sneak peek of World of Jenks, which celebrates its official premiere on Monday night. Andrew Jenks is a buzzworthy young filmmaker who is best-known for his Room 335 project, in which he moved into an assisted living facility.
The premise behind World of Jenks is simple: the filmmaker will move in with interesting individuals for one week and learn about their lives. He is no mere fly on the wall, however. Jenks asks questions, gets answers and explores each person’s background.
In the sneak peek episode, Jenks moved in with rapper Maino, who did hard time for kidnapping. Maino had only two conditions for the filmmaker: “No cryin’, no bitchin’.” Maino meant what he said. He is a hard-core partier. As he explained to Jenks, “I want to wake up almost dead.” And that takes a lot of partying.

Although Eminem will be performing “Love the Way You Lie” at the Video Music Awards tomorrow, his musical partner won’t be there during the opening number.
Rihanna, who is currently filming Battleship in Hawaii, will be too busy to make the annual event. But from the sounds of it, she doesn’t really care.
“I definitely wish I could be there for Eminem. He’s performing the song we did together. It would have been nice to do it, but he understands. Obviously right now I’m doing something that is a priority to me,” she said about her acting debut. “The VMAs will be there next year. I’ll have a lot more music out by then.”
Speaking of new music, Rihanna promises her upcoming CD will take us “through a really interesting ride.” “The name of the album reflects the attitude,” Rihanna added. “It really grabs your attention.”
Loud hits stores on November 16.
