LC's news kids line

The Hills reality star Lauren Conrad is moving out of the hills onto bigger and better things: Kohl's.

She's come to realize that not every one of her fans can afford her costly, upscale Californian line, the Lauren Conrad Collection.

Therefore, she'll now be designing LC Lauren Conrad, a clothing line for kids. Prices will range from $20 to $80 and will be sold at Kohl's.

"I was also very aware that the reason I was able to do it at such a young age was because of fans that have supported the show and have supported me," Conrad said.

"My family has always shopped at Kohl's, so I've always known about them and I think that they do a really great job," she said. Hmm. Really, Lauren? You've always shopped at clothes? Okay, I'll pretend to believe you.

The new line will be available in October 2009.

Rachel Bilson's In Style

Not only is former The O.C. star Rachel Bilson always in style, but now she'll write for In Style magazine, starting with the May issue due out in a few weeks.

Bilson, who's currently engaged to actor Hayden Christenson, will have her own Q&A column, dishing out fashion advice and some of her style favorites. She says she doesn't plan on quitting her acting career, but fashion is a fun side-job for her.

In Style's managing editor, Ariel Foxman, said most of her readers mention Bilson when naming their favorite fashion icon because of her "eclectic chic" style. Bilson says she's "flattered." She should be. Who wouldn't want to be admired for always looking beautiful?

Fabulous costumes from HBO's "Grey Gardens"

I didn't know much about the movie, Grey Gardens, except for Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange star in it. That was reason enough for me to find out more. But the movie is based on the cousin and aunt of former First Lady and style icon, Jackie O.

These women, Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, were style icons in their own right. These fabulous women became not-so-fabulous as they grew older to be strange, cat ladies. In 1975, Albert and David Maysles filmed a documentary about the strange women, which then turned into a play in New York City.

Now the documentary and play will air in feature film form on HBO this Saturday, April 18th.

Catherine Marie Thomas, who has designed costumes for 27 Dresses and the Kill Bill movies designed costumes for "Grey Gardens" (named after the name of the estate on which the Beales lived). The costumes were featured in Women's Wear Daily last week, and you have to check them out.

Woops! No KM cookbook..

Too many rumors. There is NO Kate Moss cookbook coming out.

Things have been crazy in the life of Kate Moss since Topshop, the British clothing store, is making its New York debut tomorrow. Kate Moss has a Topshop line, so it seems her clothing line got mixed up with a few other nutty ideas. No cookbook! ...I knew these models didn't eat.

Stay classy and fab!

The ANTM plot thickens...

So after the crazy shananigans that occurred a few weeks ago at the New York City auditions for the next cycle of America's Next Top Model, the lovely Ms. Tyra Banks is making some changes to the audition process. Now, girls will be assigned audition times and will be asked to leave and return later when it is time for them to go inside.



They're hoping this will prevent so many people from being at the tryouts at the same time. Other changes:
*no waiting overnight
*the earliest one can arrive is 6 AM
*no entourages or posses, unless the person auditioning is under 18

The CW said, "Be courteous to others around you."

Also, stay classy and fab,

Models: they may not eat, but they can cook!

At least that's what we're supposed to think. International supermodel Kate Moss is planning on writing a cookbook. 

She's so skinny, she might not eat. But apparently she cooks? So now she's going to teach us how. 

One of her close friend's step-daughter is Stasha Palos, who is coming out with a cookbook of Jewish recipes later this year. Palos is going to help Moss, who has been trying out traditional kosher meals, to write her own book. No news on when the book will appear, but who knows? Maybe this new cooking thing will inspire Moss to do a  line of aprons and kitchenwear!

Serena Williams: From courts to rings

No, not boxing rings. That would be really interesting. But the rings I'm referring to here are part of the accessories and clothing line called Signature Statement. That's right. Another celebrity is endorsing a company and lending their creativity to a fashion line.

Williams will be working on this line with the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Prices range from $29.95 to $100, and the line includes handbags, knits, and jewelry.

But Williams isn't the first celeb to have a deal like this with HSN. She's following in the footsteps of Iman and Paula Abdul, and they're hoping to keep the line up and running for at least a few years.

More than just a great pair of leggings

Well Lindsay Lohan is expanding her "empire." The young actress, lately known more for her relationship with Samantha Ronson and stays at rehab, had already started her own line of leggings back in September. But now the legging line, 6126, will be joined by a self-tanner called Mist Sevin Nyne, which she is also putting together. (Apparently, Lohan loves making her lines number-based?)

Regardless, Mist Sevin Nyne is a partnership between Lohan and Lorit Simon, a tanning expert who has tanned Lohan and other celebrities for years.

With the help of Lorit, this mist might actually have a chance at success. Lohan may not be the most successful actress, but who can deny the tan she has? And if people want a glow like Lindsay's, I'm sure they'd buy into her mist...more than, say, her leggings.
