Country Crooner Taylor Swift Collaborates on Clothing Line

Makes Money, Lives Better Thanks to Wal-Mart’s Low, Low Prices

What does country singer Taylor Swift have in common with all the Hills girls, Lindsay Lohan, Justin Timberlake, Hilary Duff and even gossip gangster Perez Hilton?  She’s the latest in a long line of celebrities to add an ubiquitous clothing line to her resume.   Even Tara Reid has one!  But before you groan and roll your eyes, Taylor is not walking down the dreaded celebrity-designer path and pretending to be a designer tolling away at a sewing machine and cutting patterns in a studio.

The Fearless singer, who shows up to red-carpet in everything from Balenciaga to Marchesa to Collette Dinnigan, is collaborating with label l.e.i. on a line of $14 dresses that will launch next month. At Wal-Mart, not Kitson, no less.  Hey, it worked for the Olsens.  Those nickels and dimes add up!

“I don’t look at it like I’m branching out as a designer. It’s not the Taylor Swift designer line or whatever,” she says. “I like people who have worked their entire lives to become designers. I think that they have their place as designers and I have my place as a musician, and I’m going to pretty much stick to that.”   Take note, Lauren Conrad, cause all those efforts to convince us that you’re a “real” designer are about as convincing as the so-called unscripted drama on The Hills and Heidi’s boobs.

Taylor is always so adorably girly-girl with a little touch of sparkle, like the silver glittery heels she paired with a purple Jay Godfrey Bruni Dress at the Grammy Nominations Concert Live, and since sundresses are her “favorite thing to wear,” it makes sense she’d lend her name (and no doubt, her earning power) to the brand.

Now tween girls everywhere can pick up a Taylor Swift-approved dress to go along with their Jonas Brothers poster, Hannah Montana doll and Mary-Kate and Ashley DVD on their next Wally World shopping trip. Oh, and a copy of Taylor’s latest CD, Fearless, of course.

Taylor admits to a love of heels and wanting to look bohemian in the summer. These boho fabulous peep-toes from Charles David fit the bill for those warm weather fashions.

Perez Hilton Launches Gossip-Loaded Tell-All Book on New Years Eve 2008

ShoeMinx Says, “Paris Hilton Would Never Wear Those Ghetto Strappy Sandals!”

51wlwd5atol_ss500___opt11.jpg

We have a beef to pick with whatever Marketing Department came up with this image to promote Perez’s new book. They certainly nailed the concept. We think Perez looks fab. But we take issue with the choice of shoe. Perez is the Queen of All Gossip Media. But ShoeMinx is the Queen of Celebrity Shoe Coverage.

We agree that covering celebrity “culture’ is often akin to taking a nasty and sharp stiletto in the face. It’s a kind of street cred suicide, to be sure.

But we know Paris. And we know her taste in shoes.

This is where ShoeMinx Officially Met Perez. Yes, it’s very, very cute.

From PerezHilton.com:

It’s less than 48 hours until New Years Eve, and we are sooooo excited!

Our party at the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC is gonna be bangin’, baby.

The bash, made possible by the fabulous folks at Inocente Tequila and Heineken, will be co-hosted by Entourage’s Emmanuelle Chriqui.

Our extravaganza will be simulcast live on the jumbo screen at the Gansevoort Miami Hotel, where our friend Michael Satsky has T.I. performing and Chloe Sevigny keeping it very Party Monster-ish.

If you don’t have any plans for NYE yet, come join us! Click here to buy your tix!

We’re gonna be in New York City from all of next week, as well, for our book launch Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide on Keeping Up With The Hiltons FINALLY comes out on January 6th! And, if you order it online today, you’ll get it right on Tuesday.

You wanna read it before all the celebrities do to see what trash we talked about them and secrets we reveal!

And, before we begin our book promotion - we’re doing lots of great TV! - we’re going to see six musicals. Yes, SIX!

If you know Perez at all, you know he loves him some musical theater! This trip, we’re going to go see Billy Elliot, Shrek, Slava’s Snowshow, In The Heights, Pal Joey and Avenue Q.

CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

We hope your NYE is filled with lots of fun and friends.

Love ya!

xoxo

Perezzzzzz
