The teen singing sensation Miley Cyrus — also author and actress — says that, of the teen clothing line she created teaming up with designer Max Azria, “the jeans are my favorite part of the entire line” in the August issue of Elle magazine, US edition.
The trendy couture Miley Cyrus/Max Azria line is set to hit Wal-Mart stores across the nation next month. The line will include pants, tops, graphic T-shirts, shoes and accessories. All items will be priced under $20.
“Because, like, literally this is going to be good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but that don’t have it available,” the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star continued.
“I would pay $500 for the jeans that we make for $20. I’m really into high fashion.” Wow — now, that’s a statement.
Max Azria clothes have been fancied by many Hollywood celebrities in the past, and Miley says she has every reason to believe they will bring a new vibrancy among the kids.

The ads, for L’Oreal’s Excellence hair color, are already photographed in LA and Paris, and will be out in the US this fall.
“I’m truly honored to join the confident and inspirational group of women who represent the L’Oréal Paris brand,” said del Castillo. “It is very exciting for me to say the iconic phrase, ‘Porque Tu Lo Vales’ to my fellow Latinas and to women all across the country.”
“We are so proud to welcome Kate del Castillo into our family of L’Oréal Paris spokespeople,” states Karen T. Fondu, president of the L’Oréal Paris Division of L’Oréal USA. “So many have watched Kate grow to be the captivating and talented actress she is today. With her luminous beauty, inner strength and kind spirit, Kate makes a wonderful addition to the L’Oréal Paris brand and embodies the ‘Because I’m Worth It” philosophy.”
Del Castillo, 36, is one of Mexico’s most acclaimed and popular actresses, and is making it to the big scene in the US as well with her award-winning performance in the hit Fox Searchlight film, “Under the Same Moon”, which recently became the highest-grossing Spanish-language theatrical release in US history.
Currently, del Castillo is appearing in several episods of the fifth season of Weeds, the hit Showtime comedy series.

Sarah Nuru, the Ethiopian-born fashion model from Munich, nicknamed “Sunshine” at the Germany’s Next Top Model contest where she beat out 21,000 contestants, is now the face of C903 Sony Ericsson mobile phone.
That is, after having graced the July 2009 German issue of Cosmopolitan, and having modeled for Gillette Venus shaving systems [see pics below].
Sara Nuru will be smiling in women’s titles at City Light posters and POS. And apparently Sony Ericsson is thrilled.
“Sara Nuru is the perfect embodiment of our claim of design and style,” said Gunter Thiel, Head of Marketing Sony Ericsson Germany.
“Her brilliant, natural smile is most suitable to the Cyber-shot models with Smile shutter, as well as the model Sony Ericsson C903. In addition, the mobile phone, with its eye-catching design in itself a fashion statement – (Suru and the phone) both fit perfectly.”
Go ahead and zoom in some pictures of Sara Nuru photos. She won’t bite… unfortunately.

Ever wonder what Hayden Panettiere has always been up to with that famous ‘half-smile’ of hers? The Heroes star has revealed it all in the August issue of Details magazine.
Hayden Panettiere
The 19-year-old “I Love You, Beth Cooper” (released a couple days ago), girl says the half-smile is ’survival kit’.
As the story goes, Hayden opened out when a couple of Jewish tourists wanted to photograph her at an LA restaurant. Apparently, Hayden was the first celebrity they met, so… hey, they wanted a picture. Which, of course, Hayden was kind enough to give them.
To quote Details:
“Thank you so much. Thank you. I’m sorry,” they say as they (Jewish men) back out of the restaurant, already reviewing the images on the camera.
“I gave them a half-smile,” she (Hayden) says matter-of-factly. “It’s a survival skill.”
So what gives?
Well, that’s Hayden’s explanation. But while most Hayden fans would be familiar with that ‘half-smile’, I still wonder what it means. Then again, I’m only a ‘half-fan’ of hers, as well.
What’s the intrigue about that half smile? What do you think? Something to do with ‘mean girls’?
Perhaps these photos of Hayden Panettiere might help prove a point in bikini and short pants.
Perhaps not. Either way, feel free to CLICK and zoom in on her… she won’t bite. Unfortunately.

Do wine and women mix? Of course, they do, but Eva Longoria Parker is set to further prove it to us by starring in a new TV promotion for Dutch beer brand Heineken Light.
Sources said that in the commercial, two fans are upgraded to courtside seats alongside Longoria at a basketball game, involving her husband Tony Parker’’s team the San Antonio Spurs.
“It’s always nice to get upgraded. I hope sitting next to me is an upgrade!” Parker, 34, was quoted by popular website Contactmusic as saying at the Texas shoot of the commercial.
It would be, for me.
And while you’re here, enjoy some photos of Eva Longoria Parker as she appears in the June 2009 issue of GQ Mexico.
