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?

Lindsay Lohan to be a creative consultant for Emanuel Ungaro?


News broke yesterday that Lindsay Lohan is on her way to becoming the creative consultant for Emanuel Ungaro.

However, the current head of Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar, is apparently not too happy about it.

"Esteban is threatening to leave the company if they bring Lindsay on as a consultant," said a fashion insider. "It has been a revolving door of designers there and if he leaves, his team will go with him."

According to a source, "Ungaro thinks Lindsay is going to bring the company new energy and new buzz, but she is going to be the nail in the coffin. Nobody will take them seriously ever again."

Well if all else fails, at least she still has her $132 leggings to sell!

Miley Cyrus and Max Azria sign a deal with Wal-Mart


This is probably one of the most bizarre collaborations I have heard of.

Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, is teaming up with Max Azria, chairman, designer and chief executive officer of the BCBG Max Azria Group (BCBG, Hervé Léger), to create a clothing line for Wal-Mart.

The line, which is aimed towards younger teens, is called Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, and will include tops, pants, graphic tees and shoes, all for under $20.

This isn't Wal-Mart's first celebrity collaboration, with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's tween fashion line, Hilary Duff's Stuff by Hilary Duff, and most recently, a line of cami dresses by Taylor Swift called L.E.I. by Taylor Swift.

Cyrus has been spotted wearing Hervé Léger by Max Azria in April to the U.K. premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie, and for the 2009 Grammy Awards, but I can't seem to fathom why such a big-name designer would collaborate with a popstar who isn't so fashion-conscious.

I guess everyone wants a piece of Miley!

The collection will hit Wal-Mart stores and walmart.com in early August.

In the meantime, check out one of the looks below!

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!
