Anchor Blue have decided that Heidi Montag’s fashion line (or stripper clothes, whatever you want to class them under) which is called Heidiwood, is being discontinued, after one year.
Marla White, Director of Marketing at Anchor Blue Retail Group tells People that “Anchor Blue and Heidi Montag are pleased with what Heidiwood for Anchor Blue accomplished during this past year. However Anchor Blue chose not to extend the Heidiwood contract after the initial year as they will be concentrating solely on what their heritage, their foundation, is based on — denim. They are very excited about an initiative they are launching in February ‘09 for guys and girls that will carry throughout the coming year.”
Translation : people hated it and sales were nonexistent. This is one small step closer to the end of all this Hills crap.
The new brand meets the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints’ “standards for modesty and neatness.”
Would you buy these clothes for your children, even as “dress up”?
Truly, I am having a hard time containing my laughter — not making fun of anyone’s religion, you know what I mean. If your kids wore this sort of thing to school, other kids would probably throw rocks at them.
Diddy has admitted to waxing his privates and urges all men to keep them smooth as a baby’s butt for their female lovers.
The rapper, who has his own clothing line, said he went through a strict grooming regime. ‘While I’m getting ready I like to relax with a drink – vodka and lemonade – and listen to some James Brown,’ he explains.
‘Then I’ll have a manicure and pedicure – and yes, I wax as well. Men owe it to women to make sure they are well-groomed. I wax my privates. I also wear my fragrance, Unforgivable Black.’
Diddy… that visual you just placed in my head is UNFORGIVABLE as well.
After creating a line of totes and umbrellas for you to stand under, Rihanna is selling her underwear. The line of bras and panties are not yet a reality. The dream to crank out a clothing line centered around lingerie and sex appeal is still in the idea stage.
She has already been the face of several campaigns that range from the Clinique makeup line to H&M. Rihanna will follow in the footsteps of many of her celebrity counterparts.
Geeez. Having your own clothing line is so last week. Crapping out kids is what is en vogue. So go get yourself knocked up RiRi.

Remember Coolio? Apparently he released an album in 2006, but I don’t recall hearing anything from him since 1997’s C U When U Get There. Anyway, Coolio is getting his own reality TV show, and no, it’s not on VH1. It’s on Oxygen. WTF?
The production will be called “Coolio & the Gang”, and it will follow the rapper as he raises 6 teenagers by himself, while he also maintains a music career and launches a clothing line.
I’m pretty aware of the Oxygen demographic, and I have to say, this better have some emotional pull on the level of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” or it’s not lasting 2 episodes.

Here’s the 3-minute commercial for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s new clothing line, “The Row”. It sounds really long, but it’s actually a pretty cool commercial with a cute girl, and I like the clothes. There’s something I never thought I would say.
Gisele Bundchen made more money than Tom Brady last year.
Gisele Bundchen tops Forbes.com’s list of the world’s richest models, earning $33 million in the last 12 months. The Brazilian supermodel strutted past the likes of Kate Moss, who came in at No.2, and Heidi Klum, who placed third on the list.
Bundchen, 26, parted ways with Victoria’s Secret in May and will see her lucrative contract with the lingerie brand expire at the end of the year. Still, she boasts “more contracts than any other model on the planet,” Forbes.com said, and has appeared in campaigns for high-end brands including Apple, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli.
Moss, who recently launched a clothing line at British fashion retailer Topshop, ranks second with $9 million. The 33-year-old fashion icon is the new face of fashion label Stella McCartney and Italian sportswear company Belstaff.
Klum, 34, placed third with $8 million. She is a Victoria’s Secret spokesmodel and host of Bravo’s “Project Runway.”
Two more Victoria’s Secret beauties — Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio — rounded out the top five with $6 million each.
They were followed by Carolyn Murphy ($5 million); Natalia Vodianova ($4.5 million); Karolina Kurkova and Daria Werbowy (both $3.5 million); Gemma Ward ($3 million); Liya Kebede ($2.5 million); Hilary Rhoda and Shalom Harlow (both $2 million); and Doutzen Kroes and Jessica Stam (both $1.5 million).
In ranking these catwalkers, Forbes.com said editors also factored in a model’s “relevancy” — determined by recent campaigns, fashion magazine covers and opinions of those in the fashion industry — where necessary. The list was posted Monday on the Web site.
Clearly, I made the wrong decision going to school and learning to do something useful. Being hot and vapid is clearly where the money is.

Seriously… do you think Jay-Z even knew that dog fur was being used?
A jacket from Jigga’s clothing line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it’s advertised as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar.
As of today, the $265 coat was still a “featured” item on the Rocawear website. Late last year, a similar investigation found that raccoon dog fur was being used in a coat in rap mogul P. Diddy’s “Sean John” collection; that item was removed from stores within a few days.
Reps for Jay-Z and Rocawear could not immediately be reached for comment. The Humane Society said that it informed the company of the issue a week ago, but that they’ve taken no action.
