+ The Kardashian trio unveiled their latest clothing collection, which they launched in collaboration with British retailer Lipsy. Unsurprisingly, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe model off their floral, curve-hugging dresses in the adverts for the line (perhaps it's the only way they'd be able to sell it?). Major kudos that they're not of the typical sequined and glittery New Year's Eve dress fare, but at the same time, I can't imagine women flocking to the stores (or in Americans' cases, online store) for a summery frock when they're looking for something festive.
+ Britney Spears surprised fans with a Twitter photo showcasing her new hair color: platinum blonde. Love it or leave it?
+ Tyra Banks seems to have joined Jennifer Lawrence in the war against negative body image words, claiming that she refuses to utter "plus-size," instead opting for "fiercely real." Not sure how quickly the latter will catch on, but it's a start!

Whitney Port wants to give Britney Spears a makeover.
The new Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model judge is a huge fan of the popstar, but despairs of her style choices. "I love her so much and want her to succeed and she has so much potential. Her style choices, as well as her hair and make-up, could do with a little sophistication and she could also do with a better bra. She has good perky boobs but doesn't make the most of them," she said.

As if nail polish wasn't enough. Justin Bieber is launching his own fragrance. The "Baby" singer, who recently revealed plans to sell his own line of dolls, is teaming up with Etoile Nation Beauty to create wristbands and dog tags imbedded with a unisex fragrance and said he has been involved in choosing the new scent.
"They actually brought me a bunch of stuff to smell today. One of them smelled too young, too fruity. One was really good," he told WWD.
The new perfume will be priced at $10 and is described as having "a combination of top notes of bergamot, lychee and pomegranate, a heart of cedar glimmers and a dry down of musk."
"This Justin Bieber juggernaut is never going to end. Justin is a total grassroots phenomenon," said Etoile Nation Beauty president Michael Ferrara. Michael thinks that the My World collection - which will feature four different designs including Icon, Energy, Tour and Web - will be successful because fans will be able to "to stack, mix and match, trade and take the scent on the go."
Which celebrity fragrance does Justin favor? "I actually like the Britney Spears perfume on girls. It smells good."
Quote of the Day: Marc Jacobs on Jersey Shore, Britney Spears
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
“OK, recently I watched every episode of Jersey Shore‘s first season. I don’t know if it was any good and I certainly didn’t learn anything, but it was definitely hypnotic and it gave my brain a vacation. As for music, I know everyone associates me with edgy rock, but there are times when I just want to hear Britney Spears singing ‘Womanizer, Womanizer…’ over and over. I know, I know, it’s Britney! But I told you. I love imperfection.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Britney Spears only wanted to design clothes she would wear herself.
The “3” singer, who has launched her first fashion line for Candie’s which will be sold Kohl’s department stores, says the outfits she created all reflect her personality and know they are something her fans would be eager to buy.
“I wanted to design clothes that I would wear and my fans would wear. That was the most important thing to me. I wanted to make both daytime casual looks and fun dresses to go out in at night. I met with the design team for Candie’s and Kohl’s, and we started making sketches and designed a line. I got to approve every single piece in the line. It was really a lot of fun. This collection really represents my personal style. I took pieces from my Circus tour and pieces that I wear every day. I love denim, so I made sure to include a lot of jeans. I can’t wait for it to come out.”
As well as jeans, the range feature leggings, skirts and oversized, slouchy tops. Britney says she had such fun creating the collection, she is keen to do another one in the near future: “I had such a blast designing this line and would love to do it again.”
