The new Rachel Bilson branded includes dresses, jackets, jeans, knits and tee-shirts and is set to launch in US department stores this autumn, with retail prices ranging from US$34 for a tee-shirt to $98 for a biker jacket.

In addition to that, Rachel will also be featured in the advertising campaign for the rang.

“Rachel Bilson is on everyone’s best-dressed list, and her look resonates with our customer,” said DKNY Jeans president Kevin Monogue. “Her style is effortless yet edgy and unexpected, which matches the DKNY Jeans Junior’s aesthetic perfectly.

It?s rare that two kings from the urban-music world are seen in music video together ? scheduling conflicts and egos usually keep them apart. But a couple of weeks ago in Atlanta, R. Kelly and Usher pulled it off by filming a clip for their duet ?Same Girl?.
?There was no ego when they got together?, said Lil? X, the video?s director. ?They were playing basketball on lunch breaks, it was all good. No egos. No gangs. It?s all straight, it?s all good. Just the chemistry and good vibes. You?ll feel it off the screen.?
The song is the second single from Kelly?s recently released ?Double Up?. In it, the two find out that they?ve both been messing with a cutie from Usher?s Atlanta hometown.
?It?s been a while since we had the resources to do it big, with the music industry how it is … but fans can look forward to the song really coming to life with a little extra something?, Lil? X said. ?We didn?t go too dancey in this. We do definitely get a nice performance part in this, but for the most part it?s really the story. A little movie and I give people a little moment.?
X, who?s still editing the video in L.A., would not give away the ending, but it;s safe to say we won?t get a soundless black screen and then closing credits.
And if you?re wondering who could pull both Kells and Usher, the woman in the video isn?t actually a known actress ? she was picked from the regular casting.
?Just like the lyrics, ?Coca-Cola red bone? from the ATL?, X, said describing what she looks like. ?We put the word out, it?s so many people representing girls with all the magazines and agents, and it?s not like back in the day when we had to find our own models. Now people send us pics. There?s people out there hunting.?

As afternoon turned to evening, there was a definite buzz in the air around the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, as a bevy of celebrities began to arrive at the 35th Annual People’s Choice Awards.

This year’s awards once again will honor the best in entertainment as voted on by the public, rather than an industry jury. And the celebrity presence is sure to be overwhelming
With Queen Latifah handling the hosting duties, and performances by acts like  Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts, the audience is in for a real treat.

And as stars like Debra Messing, Teri Hatcher, Lori Laughlin, Hugh Laurie, David Boreanaz and Jewel arrive, the PCAs is definitely living up to its star-studded reputation.

This is the photo of the flasher who failed to seduce Peaches Geldof after he showed off his naked body.  Peaches looked but she was unimpressed and left him rejected.

Princess Beatrice’s naked boobs come after the line break.
Princess Beatrice showed off too much décolletage as her strapless gown slipped to reveal her naked boobs. She may be sliding down into the regrettable path of expired fame if her Prince thinks in the same way as Zac Efron. When naked photos or semi-naked photos make their way around the internet, the jealous men are put off.

Lily Allen wore Chanel’s haute couture in a black evening dress, but soon degraded to unladylike behavior. The only untypical behavior she restrained herself from was a practiced ban from assaulting photographers. London’s fuzz had earlier warned her against exerting her infamous violence upon the press.

Lily Allen was being her usual loud mouthed self and revealed her preference for Jagermeister, a German bitter liquer. She openly drank from its bottle, like a Red Bull tonic, as she slowly sank under the influence of heavy drink at the Fashion Rocks’ afterparty, held at Baglioni hotel, Kensington.”

They’re a red carpet mainstay, and earlier tonight Eva Longoria and her hubby Tony Parker showed up at the 60th Annual Primetime Emmys looking quite amazing.

The “Desperate Housewives” diva looked ravishing in a silver strapless frilly dress with matching massive silver heels, while her NBA beau rocked a grey suit with black leather wingtips.
Speaking of her hit dramedy, it seems Eva wasn’t too excited about the prospects of Heather Mills making a guest appearance this season.

Mills’ ex-publicist Michele Elyzabeth told press, “Heather was desperate to live in America. She wanted to be accepted by Hollywood in any way. I tried to get her on Desperate Housewives in a little cameo.”

“The producer was keen. I reckon they saw the chance to get some headlines for the show. But when the stars discussed it, Eva Longoria was totally against it. She demanded Heather be dropped from consideration.

John McCain and the Republican party got a definite boost, after The Republican National Convention. USA Today’s Gallup Poll shows McCain leading Obama currently.

Republic John McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican’s biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. At that time, McCain was under by 7 percentage points.

The Republican convention lead has helped not only McCain but also attitudes toward Republican congressional candidates and the GOP in general.

“The Republicans had a very successful convention and, at least initially, the selection of Sarah Palin has made a big difference,” says political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. “He’s in a far better position than his people imagined he would be in at this point.”

However, Sabato, who has analyzed the polls since 1960, says the pre-polls only determine the outcome about half of the time. “You could flip a coin and be about as predictive,” he says. “It is really surprising how quickly convention memories fade.”

One of the electorate’s top issues is on handling of the economy. Before the convention, Obama was ahead by 19 points, and now only ahead by 3.

McCain’s ties to President Bush makes him a bit vulnerable. About 63% of people are worried McCain would follow policies close to President Bush, with Bush’s approval rating at only 33%.

In the latest poll taken over this past weekend, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among people that are most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples.

Among the findings:

• Before the convention, Republicans by 47%-39% were not as enthusiastic about voting. Now, they are more enthusiastic by 60%-24%, a sweeping change that narrows a key Democratic advantage. Democrats report being more enthusiastic by 67%-19%.

• Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, draws a very strong reaction from both Democrats and Republicans. Now, 29% say she makes them more likely to vote for McCain, 21% less likely.

Obama’s choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as running mate made 14% more likely to vote for the Democrat, 7% less likely.

• McCain’s acceptance speech Thursday received lower ratings than the one Obama gave a week earlier: 15% called McCain’s speech “excellent” compared with 35% for Obama.

as she and a mystery man frolicked at the beach in California. He was identified by TMZ as Todd Morse, a punk guitarist in Juliette Lewis’ band: Juliette and the Licks. His photo is pasted below.

After filing for divorce from her husband in February, Pink has changed from her trademark tomboy chic. She has become more glamorous by wearing this sexy, tiny bikini, complete with a hat.

Pink clearly enjoyed herself and did not show any stress of her marital woes. Pink, 28, and Carey Hart, 33, announced their split after rumors had circulated that he had cheated on her. They were married for 21 months.

Pink’s publicist, Michele Schweitzer, said that Pink and Carey Hart separated as best friends. They retained love and respect for each other and remained as friends.

The temperature on the beach is heating up… especially in Malibu. Phoebe Price gave beachgoers a little extra eye candy this weekend as she frolicked in the sand.

The International actress and model was out having fun in the sun, along with her pooch pal, and was more than happy to strike a few poses for the looming paparazzi.
Price sported a green and turquoise Dior bathing suit, along with a requisite straw floppy hat, and like a responsible dog owner, she made sure to keep her furry friend on a leash.

But don’t think that this crimson-haired hottie is only about looking good in a bathing suit – she’s also making a difference as a spokeswoman for “Women in Distress,” a center for battered women and children.

Phil Collins, 57, has been forced to pay his third wife about $50 million for his divorce. It was the largest divorce payment by a British celebrity in show biz.

Phil Collins was getting divorced from Orianne Cevey, 35, after 7 years of marriage. They have 2 children; Nicolas, 8, and Matthew, 4. Collins paid more than Paul McCartney. McCartney paid his ex-wife, Heather Mills, $48.6 million.

Orianne Cevey would be staying in Geneva, Switzerland, and work at her luxury jewelry business, The Right Label. Coliins will move out and stay nearby to be close to his sons, Nicolas and Matthew.

Collins will divide his time between Switzerland, New York and Norfolk, UK. His agent, Tony Smith, had refused to comment on Collins’ divorce, saying that it was an old story.
