Ashley Olsen Splits from Boyfriend

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Break-ups, Clothing, Style, Rumors,

Ashley Olsen has split from her boyfriend after less than a year together.

The actress-turned-fashion designer has called it quits with businessman David Schulte, whom she was first linked to last year. "He was a great guy and cute, but it didn't work out," a source said.

The 27-year-old former child star began seeing David - who is the CEO of luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples - some time in 2013, but their romance didn't go public until September.

Ashley previously dated The Hangover actor Justin Bartha between 2008 and 2011, but she has largely remained private about her love life.

Ashley recently indicated she has no plans to return to acting following her last movie with Mary-Kate - 2004's New York Minute - because she is so preoccupied with their successful fashion endeavors.

Amanda Bynes Advised Against Fashion School

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Style, Meltdowns, Rumors,

Amanda Bynes has been advised against attending fashion school.

The troubled actress was only discharged from treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder last week, but is said to have signed for classes at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in California, which psychiatrists have advised against.

"Amanda was told by her doctors that going to fashion school, so soon after being released... [is] an absolutely terrible idea for her to do at this time - it's almost setting her up for failure. There will be pressure on Amanda as far as school work, deadlines, and it's unlikely she will be able to succeed. The fashion school she is enrolled in is in Orange County, almost two hours from her parents' house, and she still doesn't have a valid driver's license," a source said.

Amanda is back living with her parents, Rick and Lynn - who has been granted conservatorship of her daughter - but the source thinks she should take returning to her studies more slowly.

Proposal Surprised Lauren Conrad

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Engagements,

Lauren Conrad had no idea her fiance was going to propose.

The Hills star's boyfriend, William Tell, popped the question earlier this month, and while she was overjoyed, it came to her completely out of the blue. "I had no idea it was coming. I thought he would wait until he finished law school," she told the new issue of Cosmopolitan.

Lauren added rocker William even managed to pick the right ring all by himself: "He didn't even ask my friends, which was a bold move. He said, 'I know you, and I know what you like.' And I love it. It's perfect."

While Lauren, 27, is planning to wed the Something Corporate star, 33, as early as next autumn, she added the nuptials are only a small part of their overall relationship: "You have the rest of your life to be married. Enjoy falling in love. When girls get caught up in the timeline, it becomes more about the wedding than the marriage. You should be with someone with whom you could elope this weekend and be happy. If you're going to settle down, it should be with someone you can't stop thinking about. Especially if you're in your 20s."

Whitney Port is now engaged.

The former star of The Hills is heading for the altar with Tim Rosenman, her representative has confirmed to People magazine. The 28-year-old beauty has been dating the associate producer from her spinoff show The City since 2012, after she split from fellow MTV star Ben Nemetin. A source told Us Weekly the pair kept in contact after the show ended in 2010 and they "always had crushes on each other."

"She is super comfortable with him and in love. She likes that he is from New York because he is such a great tour guide when they visit the city," the source said.

Whitney won't be reuniting with any of her fellow Hills stars on her upcoming big day. "I think we all kind of went our separate ways once the show ended. I'm fine with it, like I'm at peace with it. With me, I never feuded with anyone, and nothing ever ended badly, so it just naturally happened," she said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce, Clothing, Style, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Jessica Simpson's parents are officially divorced.

Tina Simpson - who also has daughter Ashlee Simpson with her former husband Joe - filed for divorce in September 2012 after 35 years of marriage and the union has now been dissolved, according to TMZ. While details of the settlement have not been made public, it was recently claimed Tina, 53, was so sick of fighting with Joe that she was willing to willing to give into his demands for an equal split of everything under the family name, including the multi-million dollar clothing line she manages for Jessica.

"An offer of a 50 percent split of everything under the Simpson name has been offered to Joe. That includes the coveted Jessica Simpson Collection, which Joe desperately wanted because that's the real cash cow. Even though he has nothing to do with the fashion label, Tina just wants an end to the saga and if that means giving Joe what he wants, so be it," a source said.

Victoria Beckham Buys a Supermarket

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Clothing, Style, Rumors,

Victoria Beckham has bought a supermarket. The fashion designer has purchased a Spar convenience store in Battersea, which is within walking distance of her offices in south west London, because she needs more space to house the ever expanding workforce of her fashion empire.

"Victoria's range is going from strength to strength, and expanding at a phenomenal rate. Quite simply, she desperately needs more space. She's been looking at disused warehouses and shops for some time and heard the Spar newsagent around the corner had come on the market. Whilst it's not the most glamorous of operating spaces, it is functional and, once renovated, will provide a perfect base. Obviously she hasn't bought it as her inaugural flagship store but she will be using it primarily as extra work space for her rapidly growing team," a source said.

While the brunette beauty - who has kids Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 10, Cruz, eight, and 20-month-old Harper with soccer star husband David Beckham - is worth millions, the 38-year-old star is said to have negotiated a "great deal" on the building. "Victoria is a canny businesswoman and has negotiated a great deal for herself," the source added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Child Stars, Clothing, Style, Rumors,

Madonna's eldest daughter Lourdes is planning to fund her own university education.

The independent 16-year-old student - who helps run a successful fashion line Material Girl with her famous mother - is said to want to pay her own fees to attend performing arts school Bard College close to New York in a bid to escape the spotlight and her mother's strict rules.

"Lourdes can't wait to leave home and get to university. She's already planned it all. She's also fed up being in the spotlight. That's why she didn't go on stage during Madonna's tour," a source told The Sun.

Madonna previously said she worries about being an "irresponsible parent" and revealed her daughter planned to leave home in the near future: "My children are my first priority and because they are older I can't take them with me on the road everywhere. I really feel I would be an irresponsible parent if I didn't stop my tour and spend time with them. My daughter is going to be leaving home soon."

Jessica Simpson Wants to Be Approachable

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Clothing, Style,

Jessica Simpson wants fans to feel like they can give her a hug when they see her. The singer-and-actress says it's important not to dress to over-the-top as she doesn't want people to think she's not approachable.

"I would say that I'm pretty casual. I don't ever wanna come across too intimidating, so as long as I look like you can come up and give me a hug, that's good. My signature look has always been really classic and comfortable jeans and T-shirt," the mother-of-one said of her look, speaking as the Guest Editor for women's website iVillage.

The blonde beauty also revealed her mother, Tina, is her style icon as she's just so creative with what she wears: "My style icon really for my whole life has been my mother. The way she can put together and outfit and just color and even print mixing. I mean she's just so creative and has always looked flawless to me. That's why she runs (my clothing range) the Jessica Simpson collection. I trust her with every single garment."

Kim Kardashian: Similarities Are Important

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Clothing, Style, Features,

Kim Kardashian thinks that similarities are "essential" in relationships.

The reality TV star loves the fact she and boyfriend Kanye West have a shared passion for fashion because it means they can have "in-depth" discussions about their careers, and she thinks common interests will be increasingly more important as they get older.

"If I have a design meeting, or he has one, we come back and talk about how our meetings went. It's cool, because you can definitely get more in-depth with someone who actually knows what you're talking about ... So that's been a fun similarity we have. I think it's essential to have similarities. When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common. I think that's something maybe I didn't value as highly as a quality I cared about in someone."
