Mischa Barton & Zac Posen’s TV Drama

A Beautiful Life won’t hit the small screen until September so when this clip leaked on YouTube we got hooked instantly. We totally feel for Sonja, Mischa Barton’s character, when Zac Posen (played by himself!) chooses new girl Raina to walk the runway instead of her (meow!). Raina and her friend, fellow model Christopher, plan on clawing their way to the top—and no one, particularly Sonja, is going to stand in their way. Tune in this fall to find out what happens…

Vampire Diaries Coming This Fall

With the Twilight frenzy still in full force, it’s no surprise that the CW has decided to bite into the vampire craze! This fall the network plans on bringing the young adult novels by L.J. Smith to life with its new fall series Vampire Diaries. The plot revolves around a high school girl, played by Nina Dobrev, who finds herself torn between two different guys. Unlike Twilight, however, the love triangle does not involve a girl who’s caught between a vampire and werewolf. Instead, the series focuses on the connection the heroine has with her two vampire brothers, played by Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder (remember him from Smallville and Lost?), who are battling for her soul and the souls of those she loves.

Joe Jonas Fires Back at Taylor Swift

It looks like Joe Jonas isn’t done breakin’ hearts, specifically Taylor Swift’s. It appears that the former sweethearts are now having a public war of words—er, well battle of lyrics to be exact. After Taylor was vocally open about Joe Jonas breaking up with her over a 27-second phone call last year, fans began speculating if her hit song "Forever and Always" was about the couple’s split. Months later, it appears that Joe is firing back in The Jonas Brothers’ latest song “Much Better”, which is off the group’s forthcoming album Lines, Vines and Trying Times. The hurtful lyrics call out Taylor’s 2007 song “Teardrops on my Guitar”—and reference Joe’s new GF Camilla Belle (i.e. “the girl in front of me”). Check out the telltale lyrics below…

I get a rep for breakin' hearts

Now I'm done with superstars

And all the tears on her guitar

I'm not bitter

But now I see

Everything I'd ever need

Is the girl in front of me

She's much better

From Book Worm to Fashion Icon

Nerdy little wizard no more! Emma Watson may have started her career as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies but she has certainly grown into her own—the new Burberry fall 2009 campaign marks the actress’s fashion debut. Appearing classic yet edgy in sleek new ads shot by Mario Testino in Westminster, London, Emma made quite an impression on Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative director: “Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge,” Bailey tells the UK’s Daily Mail of the starlet. “I felt Emma would be strong enough to hold the campaign as the only girl, and I loved the idea of her being surrounded by these young, cool British guys.” Lucky girl!

Amy Winehouse, a Fashion Muse?

We’ve always known Amy Winehouse as a talented British songbird, but who knew she had fashion design talents up her sleeves? According to sources, Winehouse has inked a deal to collaborate with PPQ, a London-based fashion brand. The details on what the collection will look like, are yet to be determined... Considering the singer’s often disheveled appearance (think rumpled, bra-exposing shirts and week-old beehive), the more impending question is whether you would buy clothing from her fashion line. Hmmm...

A LBD is perfect for any occasion, but add a sheer, feather overlay to the skirted portion and you have one dazzling stunner!
