Madonna Macy’s Clothing Line “Material Girl”
Madge is adding a new stripe to her illustrious career profile: juniors’ clothing designer.
The trendsetting, pop-singing icon is launching MG Icon LLC — a fashion venture with Iconix that will introduce a series of Madonna-branded businesses, including Material Girl Clothing launching exclusively at Macy’s just in time for Back-to-School sales this August.
The Material Girl apparel collection will include clothing, shoes, accessories, and jewelry aimed at young women 13-25, and is set to retail between $12 and $40. The goal is fast-fashion for the chic fashionista, with Madonna’s 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes, serving as inspiration for the line.
This isn’t the first time Her Madgesty has taken a stab at designing duds; in 2007, Madonna created a seasonal line for Swedish retailer H&M.
Lindsay Lohan Confirms Emanuel Ungaro Exit
Lindsay Lohan — Or should we say “Milkaholic?” — has confirmed that she’s parted ways with Emanuel Ungaro. After one critically-panned collection of pasties and “Ho Stroll” club numbers as Artistic Advisor of Ungaro, Lindsay is no longer designing threads for the French fashion house.
Earlier this week, the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah revealed Lindsay was “not involved” with the latest collection.
When asked why she wasn’t at Ungaro’s Paris Fashion Week show this week, Lindsay told Women’s Wear Daily: “Because I don’t work for them anymore. There’s legal things going on; I can’t really discuss it.”
Tom Brady Gisele Bundchen Boston Penthouse Taken Off Market
Even super-stunning celebs aren’t immune to the stalled housing market and the sinking economy.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, have chucked plans to sell their Boston, Massachusetts home after they failed to attract a buyer for the posh penthouse, The Boston Herald reports.
The star couple placed the penthouse on the market in October for $10.9 million. The 5,300 square foot property boasts five fireplaces, a state-of-the-art entertainment media room, landscaped roof deck and beautiful views of the Charles River. Gisele even gave birth to the couple’s son, Benjamin, in the bathtub of the home in December. Nonetheless, the pad has failed to attract a buyer in the six months its been on up for sale.
Tom and Gisele have given up trying to sell the property.
“They are trying to get $2,000-dollar a square foot. The most they can realistically get is $1,300 or $1,400 dollars. They are trying to get a premium because it’s their house,” a tipster divulged.
First Lady Michelle Obama Donates Inaugural Gown To Smithsonian
First Lady Michelle Obama headed to the Smithsonian on Tuesday to donate the gown she wore to last year’s Inaugural Ball.
I’ve never liked this dress, but Mrs. Obama continues a long tradition of First Ladies who have donated their inaugural gowns to be on display at the world-famous Smithsonian. So kudos to her. Obama’s gown — a one-shouldered, white chiffon number designed by Taiwanese fashionisto Jason Wu — will be the new centerpiece for the museum’s popular “First Ladies of the Smithsonian” exhibit.
The new A First Lady’s Debut gallery will include 11 gowns worn by First Ladies from Mamie Eisenhower to Mrs. O. The two galleries that make up the Smithsonian’s First Ladies exhibition will feature a total of 24 dresses and more than 100 other artifacts.

Kathy Ireland’s isn’t quitting her day job after channeling her inner Paula Abdul with a stiff presentatio as one of ABC’s Oscars red carpet correspondents at this weekend’s Academy Awards.

Jennifer Aniston Fragrance
Sniff, Sniff. Wanna smell like fame, success, and eternal singledom? There’s a fragrance for that!
On Friday, Aniston’s rep confirmed to OK! Magazine this week that the beloved Friends star is launching a signature fragrance, which will throw America’s Sweetheart into an already heavily-saturated celebrity scent market — which includes Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian, and David & Victoria Beckham.
Wow, that’s a lot of names.
Jennifer has reportedly been developing the perfume for nearly two years and is still toying with what to call it: “She has yet to get 100 percent behind any name, but the one she favors is Aniston. It’s all about capturing the idea of romance and freedom at any age, but it’s hard to do that in just one word.”
Naomi Campbell Attacks Limo Driver; Wanted By Police For Assault
Some people never learn….
The world’s cattiest catwalker is back! Short-fused supermodel Naomi Campbell is wanted by New York City Police this evening after she assaulted her limo driver in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.
Just when you thought Naomi had left her violent past in an anger management class!
Campbell’s 27-year-old driver says the fashionista slugged and smacked him while he was driving her around the city just after 1 PM. According to a NYPD official, the 39-year-old model became enraged with the driver and began hitting him from the back seat. After the attack, Naomi jumped out of the car and fled the the scene at E. 58th St. and Second Ave. on foot.
Today’s beatdown is just the latest in a series of notorious temper tantrums from the tempermental beauty.
In 2008, she pleaded guilty to assaulting a pair of police officers during a fit at Heathrow Airport. The year before, she pleaded guilty to assaulting her maid with a cell phone and was sentenced to anger management classes and community service.
It’s official: The woman is certifiable! Girl, you are really not helping us ditch the whole “Angry Black Woman” stereotype. C’mon, we’ve barely recovered from Omarosa!
