There's no mistaking where she gets her fashion sense from – even if a mini dress, high heels and flaming red lipstick are not every mother’s idea of what their 14-year-old should wear.

But then Lourdes Leon is no ordinary teenager and Madonna is certainly no ordinary mother.

The singer was happy to let her daughter take the spotlight and the hosting duties as they celebrated the first birthday of their Material Girl clothing line at Macy’s department store in New York.

Looking far older than her years – and remarkably like her mother – Lourdes, nicknamed Lola, attended the party and fashion show
with Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

She took over as the label’s ‘muse’ after Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen was sacked for comparing its style to that of a ‘highclass hooker’.

When it comes to clothes for warmer weather, it’s shorts for spring that are all the rage for the girls. “I’m like obsessed with them,” said Lourdes.

While Osbourne pointed out the accessories. 'The shoes - there’s a pair of nude heels that I’m really obsessed with.

'There’s so much stuff in it that’s so me and what I wear. There’s a leopard dress that I get to wear next that I’m excited about. I love prints,' she told People Magazine.

The pair also mentioned the affordability of the brand.

'There’s not many other companies besides Material Girl that do clothes at an affordable price that are high fashion and [are] what people see in the magazines and can emulate themselves without having to go and spend $1000 on a dress, she said.

Kelly has also admitted to taking 'so much of my style from Madonna in the Eighties'.

But will have to be very careful about what she says as the clothes and the ad campaigns are aimed at teenagers.

Led by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, Fashion’s Night Out started three years ago in response to economic doldrums.

“The idea was to get the economy rolling,” said shoe designer Stuart Weitzman. “Now it’s become one of the giant charity events in America.”

At his Madison Avenue boutique Thursday night, Weitzman stood next to a display of the four shoes he designed with celebrities to raise money for ovarian cancer research.

Michelle Trachtenberg was wearing her contribution to the Young Hollywood Cares Collection, a pair of dark blue snakeskin platforms with studs on the heels.

“They’re perfect for Georgina,” she said, referring to her character on “Gossip Girl.”

Hayden Panettiere had climbed into a green Fendi jumpsuit, with black suede booties from the Cares collection.

“If I were wearing stilettos, I wouldn’t be standing here,” said the actress of “Heroes” and “Scream 4” fame. She’d been on her feet for an hour.

As for getting involved in a project that supports ovarian cancer research -- specifically the lab of Dr. Marsha A. Moses at the Folkman Institute in Boston -- “it makes you feel much better about indulging in guilty pleasures, like shopping,” she said.

The shoes retail for between $425 and $498. In the month of September, which is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, 100 percent of that amount will go to Dr. Moses.

Actor Arjun Rampal announced yesterday that the infamous Lady Gaga will be performing at the Formula One after party which will be hosted at the actor's club.
He told The Times of India: "Huge event for India to get a star of her calibre. She has one million Twitter fans and over 40 million Facebook fans. It's a great feeling to get an icon like her to perform at your club at your lounge. She is very excited to come to India and to perform here."
The Airtel Grand Prix of India will take place at the Buddh International Circuit on October 20th 2011.
Gaga will be performing on the 30th of October. And ticket prices are a whopping Rs.40,000.

All seen a glamorous celeb hit the runway with some cool, funky updo and said to ourselves, "Um, sure must be nice to have a personal stylist". Well, after seeing so many braided looks lately, it suddenly dawned on us, we can braid, too! Then we began to wonder how complicated some of these hairstyles really are.

We especially loved Blake Lively's braided look and were determined to recreate it. Now by following a few steps, and exercising a little patience, you can join us in sporting your own super stylish 'do.

1. Make a center part and on each side section out tresses from the hairline to about the back of the ear. These sections should run vertically. Start on one side and begin to French braid on the diagonal, making sure not to draw in any hair from outside the section. (If you do, no worries. This look is supposed to be causal and a little messy anyway.) Once you run out of hair to incorporate, braid the ends regularly, secure with a hair elastic and repeat the process on the other side.

2. Ignore the two braids for a moment and backcomb the hair throughout the crown. This will help create volume and the added texture will help the updo hold better.

3. After backcombing, smooth the hair slightly. Pull everything back, except for the braids, and twist vertically from the nape of the neck to the center of the back of the head. Now, take a deep breathe and hold the twist in one hand while inserting bobby pins vertically, close to the scalp. Once this is done, ignore the loose ends of the twist for a moment.

4. Now you can get back to the braids. Pick them up pull them back, across the top of the twist and just under the loose section. Wrap the braided ends together and pin tightly, making sure to attach the braids and the twist together. This will hide the braided hair ends and support the loose hair.

5. You'll have the option to leave the unsecured hair alone or curl it or pin it under or work it back into the twist. The sky's the limit. The only thing now is to mist your cool new 'do with some medium-hold hairspray.

Kelly Clarkson was in in Australia this week to promote her new album Stronger, and Take 40 were lucky enough to sit down and chat with the gorgeous gal!

Kelly's latest single 'Mr. Know It All,' has been met with a huge response from Aussie fans and we were wondering what it was all about... has she dated a Mr. Know It All?

Kelly assured us that it's not about anyone specific, but more about general annoying people she might have worked with in the past.

"I've had a lot of man bashing songs..." she told Take 40, "(but) I'm actually very nice."

We also wanted to know whether she liked listening to her own music in those intimate moments... and her answer? Hmm not her own tunes exactly, but rather something heavily surprising!

Make sure you watch the full chat with Kelly below to hear what she said!

Kelly's new album Stronger is out on October 21st this year! Exciting!

While we tend to associate novelty prints with kitschy upholstery and twee mid-century vintage clothing, Blair Leighton Meester)’s Season 5 premiere look made us want to reconsider our prejudices. After all, if the Queen B herself is willing to to take a walk on the wild side with this leafy gown and wear to a royal gala, no less! then maybe we just haven’t been looking in the right places.

We went digging for some similarly quirky prints to see if we could find something that Blair herself would wear imagining she was on a budget and we think we came up with a pretty exhaustive list. Remember to exercise caution when wearing one of these head-turning pieces and tone down the rest of the outfit accordingly.

Anna Faris candidly revealed that she bedded a total of five guys before marrying her husband, “Moneyball” star Chris Pratt, in 2009.

“I’m at five,” the star said at a screening of “What’s Your Number?” “Don’t you think five is kind of low? I’m 34!” During a pre-screening interview Tuesday night with Marie Claire editor Joanna Coles, Faris added, “I’m not a very good lover. I’m so nervous about my sexuality.”

In the film, Faris plays an unlucky-in-love woman who frets she’ll never find Mr. Right after learning the average woman sleeps with 10.5 men before finding “the one,” and she’s bordering on 20.

VOTE: Should You Ever Reveal Your Number?

“I think 20 is kind of low,” she told Coles. “Shouldn’t it be like 70?” Faris -- who was recently hailed by Tad Friend in the New Yorker as the future of female comedy -- also said that she doesn’t read reviews.

“I try not to read [them],” she said at the Joseph Urban Theatre. “The bad ones really cling. And I’m lucky that I’ve been part of a lot of poorly received movies, so I’m immune. ‘Scary Movie 4’ was a brilliant movie. I’m shocked it didn’t get nominated.”

Cornering the ‘funny girl’ market for the last decade thanks to the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise and films such as ‘Waiting’, ‘The House Bunny’ and ‘My Super Ex-Girlfriend’, Anna Faris now takes on the more traditional Rom-Com, and lands Captain America no less, in leading man Chris Evans.

‘What’s Your Number?’ is the story of Ally (Faris), a single lady with a fear of forever being on her own. After a magazine article backs up these fears, she has an epiphany- she will not sleep with another man until she’s sure he’s the one. Making a deal with her neighbour Colin (Chris Evans), the pair track down the twenty men she has, ahem, ‘taken to bed’, to see if she has overlooked Mr. Right. As the experiment delivers mixed results, she begins to realise that sometimes you can’t live life by the numbers.

It’s an undeniable truth that this is simply another attempt to tweak the formula of a rom-com just that little bit, only to deliver the same old chestnuts about living life and not chasing happiness with formulas and deadlines. The thing is, it’s just about likeable enough to get away with it. A combination of the leads’ charm (Faris and Evans genuinely seem suited on screen) and the frankly ingenious stroke of getting an array of famous faces to turn up as Ally’s exes (you will exclaim ‘is that…?’ more than a couple of times during the movie) mean the story keeps rolling along at an acceptable and enjoyable pace.

Faris made her name as the actress unafraid to get her hands dirty in the name of comedy, and she does so again to varying results. It’s not the clever role her talents have been crying out for, but she’s good enough at what she does to pull of some dumb comedy and still draw some laughs out of you. Likewise, Chris Evans is believable and occasionally quite funny as Colin, and as mentioned the pair make a great match on screen.

There have been far, far worse rom-coms in the last month, let alone this year, so the fact that ‘What’s Your Number?’ offers anything even slightly original is to be commended. A clever, ‘Legally Blonde’ type role is required for Faris to truly break out of the ‘disposable comedy’ niche she has created, but thanks largely to her this is a rare occasion that familiarity doesn’t breed contempt.
