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.

Joe Jonas Buggin’ Out with “Lovebug” Lady Love

How Long Will It Last:  “Forever & Always” Or “A Little Bit Longer” Than 27-Seconds?

Wah!  That sound you hear is the heart-broken wails of thousands of tween girls. According to media snoops, the relationship between Joe Jonas, one-third of the dapper Disney trio the Jonas Brothers, and actress Camilla Belle is “Burnin’ Up.”

Camilla walked the red carpet solo at the premiere of her new film in a super short OH MY GOD, HOW IS SHE GOING TO SIT DOWN WITHOUT FLASHING HER BITS? Alexander McQueen dress and gold-hued slingbacks but was later joined in the darkened theater by the flat-ironed heartthrob.  And she was definitely not trying to Push him away.

Said an inside eyewitness:  “Once the lights in the theater went down, Joe snuck in and sat right next to her.  After the credits rolled, they left in a rush holding hands.”  The brunette siren starred in the JoBros video “Lovebug” last fall were she played the guys’ love interest.  Evidently it wasn’t just acting for the “Video Girl.”

BroJoe then famously dumped girlfriend Taylor Swift in a “Tool Academy”-esque maneuver via a 27-second phone call, and though they’ve never admitted to dating, he and Camilla were photoged together soon after at Nick Jonas‘ birthday celebration. So not cool, bro. We’re totally siding with Taylor on this one and the public flogging she made him suffer through. Guess wearing a purity ring doesn’t make you any less of a douche bag.
