Katharine McPhee is a natural brunette who recently turned chemically blonde. The American Idol alum has a new look to accompany her new album called ‘Unbroken’. The singer said “I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change. I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look. The look has affected the way I dress, it’s inspired me to be more adventurous with what I decide to wear. It’s silly that something so simple as changing your hair could have such a big effect.”

VH1 better hope that Jessica Simpson’s new reality show does well or they may find themselves out on a lot of money to fix the failed country singer’s mug and will have nothing to show for it. The network is going to be shelling out almost $25,000 per episode to make Jessica “camera-ready”. A source revealed “She insists on using her own hair, makeup and fashion stylists, who are more expensive than JLo’s.” When asked for a comment on Jessica’s special beauty needs, her rep said “A budget was approved when the deal was made. All parties were satisfied.” I wonder what $25,000 worth of beauty looks like on her.

Stella McCartney wants to convert Lindsay Lohan away from fur and leather attire.

McCartney has said she wants to persuade Lohan to say no to fur. Lohan is said to be a fan of McCartney’s clothing.

“Stella is concerned that Lindsay is going overboard with her use of leather. Lindsay wears a lot of Stella’s designs and she doesn’t want to be associated with such a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products,” a source said.

The fashion designer daughter of Sir Paul McCartney did not succeed when she tried to talk Kate Moss and Madonna out of fur.

A spokesperson for Stella said: “She never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle.”

Justin Timberlake has been around in the music industry for a long period now and after all these years of churning out hits after hits he still posses all the charms and style that no other artist has managed to do in recent years.

Now men’s magazine GQ has named Justin as the Most Stylish Man in America and that is just another confirmation that he is amongst the most celebrated and popular contemporary artist of the past decade. New York based DJ Mark Ronson was second on the list.

This chap is the person in the music industry wherever he goes whatever he does he is simply a cut above the rest and the best part about him is that he never indulges into self-promotion like the others. You can always hear Kanye West, 50 Cents and the likes speaking self-praising notes about themselves.

But Justin has kept himself away from all this. He goes performs and strikes you with his cool laid back completely chill out attitude and his popularity keeps growing.

Jennifer Hudson has given Gap Inc. the okay to use a cheerful image of her in their new holiday ad campaign despite the terrible tragedy that recently shook her family. A GAP representative spoke with E! and assured them that though the singer is still in mourning, “She said she wanted to be a part of [the campaign] and that we should move forward.” Photographer Michael Thompson took the talented 27-year old actress/singer’s likeness for the ad which includes that tagline “Shine Your Own Star” in New York City this past July. Jennifer joins the campaign alongside the likes of Mary-Louise Parker, Mila Kunis, Milla Jovovich, Ashanti, Jason Bateman with his daughter Francesca, Jon Heder, Rainn Wilson, Cam Gigandet and several others.

Christina Aguilera is helping Macy’s out to celebrate a very special occasion – 150 glorious years in retail. The 27-year old bombshell singer posed for Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger in a series of commemorative photo’s for Macy’s birthday. Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein also posed for the store. All of the pictures will appear at Macy’s stores nationwide and in larger than life displays. While I can appreciate Christina’s big ad, I’m not really sure if I want to see The Donald’s pores the size of windows. Nor would I like to see just how many wrinkles there are on Martha’s face.

I do, I do…but then I’d have to become anorexic and work out crazily to be able to wear any of them.

Anyways, if you’re interested, seven pieces of Britney’s clothing will be auctioned off as a part of a Rock and Roll Auction. One of the auctioned items is going to be a tee worn by Brit when she was on the New Mickey Mouse Club.

The auction will be online between July 21 and August 6.

I hear Amy Winehouse is in the market for a new wardrobe designer. Ha! I’m guessing Kanye’s not lining up for the job.

Kanye is, however, hooking up with Louis Vuitton to create a new line of shoes for men and women. Looking at Kanye’s style, I’m betting those will be some hot shoes. He’s also working with Takashi Murakami, a lead artist.

Also in November, Kanye is set to launch a clothing line to go with the jewelry line he already has.
