Nicole Kidman Confesses to Botox Use

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Surprise! Nicole Kidman has confessed to using Botox.

The 42-year-old actress has previously denied using any cosmetic treatments to stop the appearance of any wrinkles, but now Nicole admits to trying the procedure but says it wasn't for her.

"I've tried a lot of things, but apart from working out and a good diet most things don't help. I even tried Botox but I didn't like how my face looked afterwards. Now I don't use it anymore - and I can move my forehead again!" Kidman is quoted as telling German magazine TV Movie.

The mother-of-three has always insisted she is "completely natural" and owed her youthful looks to taking care of herself: "To be honest I am completely natural. I have done nothing to my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, I don't smoke and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that. Anybody can do anything to themselves - I don't judge - but personally I believe in being physically fit. That's how I was raised. I can't go in the sun because I'm fair-skinned. It was a nightmare when I was younger but it has its benefits now."

Madonna Searching for a New Material Girl

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,

Taylor Momsen is out of Madonna's Material Girl line, but we knew that was coming, didn't we? Madonna now seeks a new model for her clothing line.

The 52-year-old singer launched her Material Girl range - which is aimed at teenage girls - last year with the Gossip Girl star promoting the brand but, according to a posting on the company's official website, Madonna is looking for a new ambassador. Next to a picture of 17-year-old Taylor an advert proclaims, "Desperately seeking Material Girl."

It goes on to add, "Living in a material world and we need material girls. Looking for the hottest girl on the scene, she is never afraid." The posting encourages visitors to the site to vote for who they think should become the next face of the collection. Madonna worked on the Material Girl line with her 14-year-old daughter Lourdes and admitted the youngster brought much of her own personal style to the collection: "I think this line is absolutely an extension of her taste. We like to combine a plaid or a flannel with a lace or leather with lace or rhinestones. So we mix and match textures and fabrics and elements that are both masculine and feminine."

Tommy Hilfiger to Design for Lady Gaga

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Tommy Hilfiger is set to design a fashion range for Lady Gaga.

The brand's company Music and Entertainment and Sports Holdings (MESH) is negotiating with Universal Music Group to develop clothing collections for its entertainment clients, who, as well as Gaga, include Justin Bieber and the Rolling Stones. According to WWD, the first apparel collections will be launched later this year.

Hilfiger launched MESH last July to create lifestyle concepts inspired by the music and entertainment world, with the first venture being Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony's clothing line. As well as MESH, last year the fashion house -- normally famed for its preppy styles -- added a lifestyle label to its brand. The company aimed new line Tommy at 20-something men and women, with the focus being on distinctive handmade details.

"Tommy gives us more flexibility and freedom to do something truly conceptual," Hilfiger said.

Gary Sheinbaum, chief executive officer of Tommy Hilfiger, added, "The way we're going to merchandise Tommy will be distinctive and different, not so formulaic. It will be more of a fun, dynamic experience. The product itself, we feel, is going to be a fresh take on the preppy traffic, done in a fresh, young, cool way. When we look around, we don't see anyone doing this."

Victoria Beckham Flattered by Mouret Comparisons

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors,

Victoria Beckham is flattered that people think Roland Mouret designs her fashion label. The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer often has to contend with reports claiming Roland does all her work for her and while she insists it's not true, she looks at it as a compliment.

"I suppose if people think the clothes are too good for me to have designed them, that's a backhanded compliment. Look, I don't draw, but nor do lots of designers. I tie things around me. I experiment with ideas and I try to work out a way to make everything flattering and make a woman feel beautiful. Oprah Winfrey recently asked me to make her a dress. I must be doing something right."

Although Victoria lives in Los Angeles with her soccer star husband David Beckham and their three sons, her label is based in England so she often flies over to the UK to work on it. "I literally land, go straight to the studio, work till really late, go to the hotel and get up early the next day and do it again. But I don't see this as work. At 18 I was in the Spice Girls. But I wasn't very good, let's be honest, I didn't really, you know. sing. This is something I can do."

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,

-- Lady Gaga scored the highest number of monthly and bi-weekly magazines sold. Not surprisingly, the Rolling Stones cover with a nice view of her rear end sold 245,000 copies -- three times the magazine's 2010 average. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were the worst-selling celebrities.

-- Elle magazine's parent company Lagardere is in talks with Hearst (Harper's Bazaar publisher) to sell all 40-plus foreign editions of the fashion glossy (sans the original French version) as soon as the end of the month. Lagardere claims it will keep full editorial control, despite whatever happens in the sale.

-- Kim Kardashian covers Glamour in pajamas, which she makes look incredibly sexy, despite what she says in her interview: "I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things." This must explain why she constantly poses nude or in skin-tight outfits.

-- Androgynous model Andrej Pejic stars in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Ginta Lapina. One can actually detect that he's most likely a guy in the photo.

Victoria Beckham Wants Tilda Swinton, Angelina Jolie

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Victoria Beckham wants to dress Tilda Swinton. The singer-turned-fashion designer has already seen a host of female celebrities wear her designs and admits it would be a dream come true if the Oscar-winning actress donned one of her creations at a prestigious event.

"I'd like to dress Tilda Swinton, I'm obsessed with her, and also Angelina Jolie, Kate Bosworth and Michelle Obama - she would look great in the dresses. I'm flattered whenever I see a woman wearing one of my dresses - they don't have to be famous - and it's always a great compliment," Victoria said when speaking about who she would like to dress.

Victoria says celebrities often ask to wear one of her dresses, but she is very careful about how many she gives out because she doesn't want anyone in the same outfit.

"There has been competition to wear the same dress but I deal with it in a diplomatic way. I know what it's like - you don't want to wear the same thing as someone else. All the requests come through me. I make sure I manage it well so there's no embarrassment of people wearing the same thing. I don't want people ending up in those 'who wore it better' features, unless it's me because I wear them first. It's been amazing. The response has been breathtaking."

Actress Kate Bosworth thinks Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are "true artists."

The 27-year-old loves the creations from the design team and gets excited every time a new collection is due.

"They're so effortless. True artists. I'm so excited to see what they do every season. And they know if I'm not there in person, I dissect their collection online. I so look forward to it. It's incredible."

The design team love Kate in return, and think she is perfect for their clothes. "We know her pretty well. She's pretty easy to dress. We know what looks good on her. We showed her a few things and everything fit perfectly. She makes our job really easy," McCollough said.

Speaking at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars at Cipriani Wall Street in New York, Kate confessed she loved being the pair's date for the evening: "I just get to be their date, which makes me very happy."

Robert Verdi Wants to Style, Revamp Jessica Simpson

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Robert Verdi wants to help Jessica Simpson revamp her look. The stylist to the stars says the singer-and-actress is quite "boring" with her fashion choices and wants to update her whole wardrobe.

"Her look is boring. I would change her up constantly because she is not diverse enough. I would give her a Hitchcock heroine look, a 50s look, and some serious 60s hippie look."

While he's not a fan of her look, Robert believes she has the cut right with her clothes: "Tight always looks better than loose when you are being photographed and when you are on television. You are on the side of tight no matter what."

Jessica Simpson - whose weight has fluctuated over the years - recently revealed how she loves clothes which give her a nipped-in waist and show off her womanly curves. "I'm a huge Jean Paul Gaultier fan. His pieces make my waist look good. Yes, they're an investment, but I'll have them when I'm old and grey."

Zoe Saldana Wants to Design With Prabal Gurung

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Zoe Saldana wants to work with Prabal Gurung on a clothing line. The <i>Avatar</i> actress is a huge fan of the designer and his creations and is keen to team up with him to work on a range of apparel.

"Prabal Gurung has been a very good friend for many years. I am in awe of the way he has carried himself and his designs recently. It would be amazing to collaborate with him."

Zoe, who once launched a clothing line with her sisters, says her designs would be inspired by her personality and style: "Our personal interpretation of art is what defines us and distinguishes us from each other. I think we should always stay true to that."

Zoe recently revealed how she thought fashion is an "art form" and loves taking time to put an outfit together as she knows it's important to get the right look. "Five years ago my sisters and I created our own brand, called Arasmaci, but we actually produced no more than a few T-shirts and some accessories because I became overwhelmed by <i>Avatar</i>. "For many people, including a lot of actresses, fashion is all about brand names, logos, status symbols, but for me, it's an art form."

Fashion Police: Noah Cyrus Looks Like Big Sister Miley

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities,

Well, it would appear as if Noah Cyrus’s Halloween drama didn’t teach her anything about dressing her age. (Then again, she is Miley’s sister.)

The 10 year-old was spotted with her mom and older, more famous sister wearing questionable short shorts and a tank top revealing her bra. Judging by their smiling faces, it looks as if Mom approves! While some may argue that she’s just trying to dress like a normal kid, I would bet that there’s a classier version of casual at Kitson’s for girls her age.
