Jennifer Behr's Fall 2009 Collection

Now THIS is the right way to channel your inner Blair Waldorf.

Leighton Meester often sports Jennifer Behr's headpieces on Gossip Girl, and I can't wait to see if her character will sport these new looks from Behr's Fall 2009 collection.

The studded and Swarovski-adorned headbands and turbans might just be my new favourite accessories for the fall!

Check out them out below!

Anna Sui for Target Lookbook

The looks from Anna Sui's Gossip Girl-inspired collection for Target have finally been revealed!

The collection consists of 19 looks, inspired by the ladies of Gossip Girl: Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa.

The line will be available in stores and online September 13 through October 17.

Personally, I'm not too impressed with the looks, except maybe for some of the "Blair" dresses.

What do you think of the collection?

Vera Wang uncertain about competing on Dancing with the Stars

A couple weeks ago, there were rumours that designer Vera Wang was to compete on the newest season of Dancing with the Stars.

The Cut blog caught up with Wang at the CFDA Awards, and asked her if the rumours were true.

"We haven't decided. They haven't and I haven't," she said.

When The Cut asked if the show approached Wang, she answered, "They approach a lot of people, not just me."

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

New Gossip Girl book covers!

In case you didn't know, the greatest show of our time, Gossip Girl is based on the books by Cecily von Ziegesar.

The widely popular series is getting a cover makeover, and will feature the most memorable scenes from the TV show.

Check out the all the new covers below!

Vera Wang to be on Dancing with the Stars

Designer Vera Wang is adding something else to her resume: Dancing with the Stars.

The former figure skater-turned-Vogue editor-turned-wedding gown guru will be sixty when the season starts next September and has reportedly signed on to compete in the show's ninth season.

A rep for Wang did not comment, and ABC also declined to comment on casting.

Wang has designed otufits for ice queens Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan, so it'll be interesting to see what kinds of designs she will come up with for herself if she does end up competing.

The new season of Dancing with the Stars will premiere on September 21st.

Would you wear the scrunchie?

First it was the "assless" tights.

Now, American Apparel, is trying to bring back the scrunchie.

Available in an array of colours and fabrics (think gold lamé, flourescent and nautical scrunchies), the brand has come up with 407 different styles of the eighties hair tie.

I know American Apparel does have the power to bring back trends we'd never thought we'd see again...but the scrunchie? Really?

Whenever I think of a scrunchie, the Sex and the City episode when Carrie yells at Berger for making the protagonist in his book wear a scrunchie always come to mind.

Then there's those flashbacks to when my mom put them in my hair...

If even Carrie won't wear it...then it's something to stay away from!

Would you wear the infamous scrunchie?

Another Gossip Girl star-turned singer

Ho hum. The cast of Gossip Girl really wants to prove that they can sing.

First Ed Westwick and his band the Filthy Youth, then Taylor Momsen with the Pretty Reckless, and Leighton Meester and her Cobra Starship collaboration.

Now, Penn Badgley, may be the next GG star to get into the music industry, although not right away.

"Years from now, maybe you'll see something, but for the moment, it's something that I don't [want to do]," the actor otherwise known as Dan Humphrey told MTV News.

"I mean music is my first passion, but because of that I don't really want to just take a first step in the wrong direction," said the 22-year-old. "At the moment, I just want to be sensible about what I do. I just write and I play, and that's all I need for myself right now."

Badgley also admitted that he has only listened to Westwick's band, and hasn't heard any of Meester's or Momsen's songs yet. He did say, however, that he thinks they'll do just fine in the music industry.

"I haven't heard any of Taylor's stuff, but apparently it's pretty decent," he said of his onscreen sister. "I wish them the best with it. It's awesome they're doing that."

I sense a collaboration album in the near future!

Best Dressed: Adam Lambert

Although he may not have been crowned American Idol, Adam Lambert was definitely the best dressed of the bunch throughout the season.

From the hair, to the guyliner, to the black nailpolish to the shoes, Lambert never ceased to impress the audience with his excellent sense of style.

I especially loved the wings he donned last night during his performance with KISS!

And the winners of Dancing with the Stars Season Eight are...

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas!!

Yay!!

In case you missed it...

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas performed an amazing freestyle during last night's Dancing with the Stars finale!

The concept, the costumes, the choreography! All amazing.

I especially loved the JabbaWockeeZ reference at the beginning! Only Mark would do that!

The pair were the only contestants to score a perfect 30 for this round.

The winner of DWTS will be crowned tonight.

Let's hope Shawn and Mark win that mirror ball trophy!

Quote of the Day

“Nathaniel, trust me. The popped pink collar is a solid decision. I’ve already slept with three girls today and it’s not even noon. Come back to me when you’re wearing a velour hoodie; maybe then you can start dispensing fashion advice. Maybe.”

Spotted: Selena Gomez & Taylor Lautner

Young love is in the air!

Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez and Twilight hunk, Taylor Lautner have been getting pretty cozy lately.

The pair were spotted together on Sunday in Vancouver, Canada, going out for sushi.

Gomez is currently filming her new film, Ramona and Beezus in Vancouver, while Lautner is working on New Moon.

They make a cute couple!

Paulina Porizkova cut from Top Model

Tonight's America's Next Top Model finale will be the last time supermodel and judge, Paulina Porizkova will be on the show.

Porizkova revealed last night on the Late Late Show that she was fired from Top Model on April 9th.

That day was also her birthday.

"The reason I was told I was fired was because it seemed that America's Next Top Model has gotten too fat, and they needed to cut some fat, and the fat was me," she explained.

She said her dismissal was due to her "gigantic, huge ego."

"Which I wasn't aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem," she added.

I guess Tyra couldn't stand Paulina stealing the spotlight any longer!

Happy Birthday!

In case you missed it...

So much better than the original!

And speaking of GG, what was with Serena's hideous prom dress?

"Good Girls Go Bad" video preview

Stills of Cobra Starship's latest track, "Good Girls Go Bad" featuring Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester have been leaked!

The concept of the video is that Meester runs an underground speakeasy, while the band is in charge of the above-ground deli that is meant to distract from the club below. In order to gain access to this club, customers must order the correct sandwich.

Originally, the band recorded the song with American Idol judge and co-writer, Kara DioGuardi, but then Cobra Starship decided they wanted to collaborate with Meester.

"I had heard that Leighton was working on a record and I really, really, really wanted to do a song with her, because I'm a big superfan of hers," said frontman Gabe Saporta. He remembered thinking, "['Good Girls'] would be perfect for Leighton because it's already kind of her character in 'Gossip Girl,' like the perfect girl with the bad streak."

Meester immediately liked the track, and told MTV News, "I thought, 'I need to get on that! It totally is my sound too. Really fun to dance to it. Very edgy and cool."

Gossip Girl's 80s flashback!

Tonight's episode of Gossip Girl features a flashback to the eighties, with Brittany Snow playing a younger Lily van der Woodsen.

No confirmation yet as to whether the spin-off Valley Girls has really been nixed, but it'll be interesting to see what the creators have in store for us tonight!

Click here to read WWD's article on the young Lily's style.

Gossip Girl spin-off...cancelled?

Uh-oh!

Seems like the creators of Gossip Girl want to keep Lily van der Woodsen's past, well, in the past!

Reports are circulating that the GG spin-off, Valley Girls, has been cancelled, before even being broadcast, although there has been no official confirmation from the CW.

According to insiders, the show went from hot, to lukewarm, to "fading but wouldn't count out," to now dead.

Next Monday's episode of GG was supposed to be a preview for the spin-off, and will feature Brittany Snow playing the younger version of Lily.

It's kind of a shame that it's been cancelled before anyone even had a chance to see it, but I don't think anything can top the original GG.

Are you disappointed about the supposed cancellation of Valley Girls?

Love is in the air!

Gossip Girl co-stars and real-life couple Ed Westwick and Jessica Szhor shared a kiss during the Annual Brit Night at the Los Angeles Galaxy's stadium, The Home Depot Centre in Carson, California on Saturday.

I love how that random lady is looking on!

Ballas Hough Band

You may be familiar with Mark Ballas and Derek Hough two of the professional dancers (and back-t0-back winners) on Dancing with the Stars.

But did you know the two have their own band called Ballas Hough Band (formerly known as Almost Amy)?

Yes, not only are they amazing dancers, but they are talented musicians too!

Ballas and Hough have been best friends since childhood, with Hough living with Ballas' family in London for ten years to train as a dancer.

The two began playing punk rock and metal music when they were 13, and have been jamming together ever since.

Their debut album BHB has a variety of catchy tracks, a lot of them resembling Maroon 5 (especially the track "Devastated"), that showcase Ballas and Hough's stellar vocals.

"I'd say kind of blues rock with a bit of pop in there, but with funky baselines, and very melodic," Ballas described to Good Day Atlanta of the band's sound.

Check out their music video for their debut single, "Do It For You" below!

You can buy their album BHB here.
