Maria Sharapova wants to take shot at designing

Wimbledon winner Maria Sharapova has a secret dream, which is not winning all the four Grand Slams, but to try her hand at designing clothes.

The 20-year-old Russian Tennis star said that she wants to launch her own apparel line.
“My dream is to have my own clothing line,” the Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

However, the robust sportswoman doesn't support the size 0 trend.

Sharapova said that when she attended LA fashion shows, she was shocked to see emaciated models who looked like they were going to ‘break’.

“I never realized the super-skinny thing was a reality until I started going to fashion shows in LA. I see the girls step onto the runway and think, 'Poor things!' They look as if they're about to break,” she added.

Celebrity Watch: Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson

Some looks are so sizzling, we lack the words to describe it. The platinum blonde, seen here in a strapless satin dress in pink and blue ombre is always at home, whether it's on a red carpet, a film set, or a benefit for charitable causes.

It's so rare in Hollywood that one is blessed with both looks and talent. Add charitable causes to that list, and you've got a star who's one in a million. Actress Scarlett Johansson recently played hostess at the Louis Vuitton LoVe party for his new LoVe collection and the Oxfam charity organization. Twenty-two-year-old Johansson has been a model and spokesperson for the French design house since 2005. And in November 2006 was named Esquire magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive. It's not hard to understand her appeal to both men and women, looking at this photo of her, taken May 3rd, at the charity gala event.

Some looks are so sizzling, we lack the words to describe it. The platinum blonde, seen here in a strapless satin dress in pink and blue ombre is always at home, whether it's on a red carpet, a film set, or a benefit for charitable causes. In fact, earlier in the year Johansson actually spent time in Sri Lanka and India with the Oxfam organization meeting survivors of the tsunami disaster. Now that's a trend worth setting! Scarlett's next big Hollywood project is director Woody Allen's film Midnight in Barcelona in the summer of 2007.

Did Bundchen dump Victoria's Secret because of DiCaprio's new lady love

It seems that one of the Gisele Bundchen broke up with Victoria's Secret was because the lingerie giant refused to give in to her demand that she would not share the ramp with ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio's current ladylove Bar Refaeli.

Earlier, Bundchen's sister confirmed that Bundchen, the highest paid model in the world, had quit as the lingerie line's 'Angel' after the company refused to raise her annual salary from 5 million dollars she already pockets.
It seems that what had Victoria's secret upset, was the fact that not only did the Brazilian bombshell want to make more money, but she was also not interested in traveling around so much anymore.
It is also rumored that Victoria's Secret did not like Bundchen putting on 15 lbs.
Bundchen revealed that she gained weight after she quit smoking.
"When you stop smoking you gain weight, because food tastes better than when it tasted like ashtray," TMZ quoted Bundchen, as saying.
The sudden weight gain was linked to the supermodel being pregnant with current boyfriend American footballer Tom Brady's child.
However, that time her family rubbished the buzz while Bundchen and Brady made no comments.

Jennifer Lopez is Victoria Beckham's fashion guinea pig!

Latino diva Jennifer Lopez has agreed to become Posh’s new fashion guinea pig and try out her exclusive range of jeans.

Desperate to ensure that Victoria Beckham's new range of dVb denims flatter her generous curves, JLO has decided to help out.

"Jennifer's as fashion-obsessed as Posh and they've had several girlie chats about Victoria's new range. Jen thinks Posh is incredibly stylish and has asked for some tips, but they've got different body shapes and she was concerned that things that look amazing on Posh wouldn't suit her at all,” a source was quoted by the Mirror, as saying

"When they met up over Oscars weekend, she said to Victoria: 'Your new jeans sound fantastic but will they look good on someone with more hunk in their trunk?' It was then that she offered to try out the clothes to see how well they fitted," he added.

The source goes on: "Jennifer's wearing the jeans every day, making notes and asking her husband Marc Anthony for his opinion of how they look.

She's calling Posh daily to tell her what she thinks. She loves the quality and is chuffed that Victoria takes her input so seriously."

"I wanted to develop a collection with all the qualities I look for in a fantastic pair of jeans," Posh added.

Doherty's ex to model for Kate Moss' Topshop collection

Supermodel Kate Moss will have her beau Pete Doherty’s ex-girlfriend Irina Lazareanu to model for her line of clothes for Topshop.

The dark haired Lazareanu will wear Moss’ new range that is based on the 32-year-old’s own collection.

The waifish model met Lazareanu, who was the drummer with Doherty’s band Babyshambles, on a tour and they became good friends.

Moss teamed up with Lazareanu and stylist pal Katy England to design the new range.
The English-born said that after going through her own wardrobe, she decided to launch her own creation by altering her designs.

“I just went through my closet basically. I was just like: 'I'd love this, but altered like this', or 'I'd love that, but in a pinstripe'.” Mirror quoted Moss, as saying.

Moss also said that she used to shop bag full of clothes at Croydon, for five pounds.

“I used to do jumble sales in Croydon and get bags full of clothes - like bin liners for a fiver,” she added.
