On the eve of her World Tour with the Discipline album Janet Jackson is adding designer to her list of talents.
She’s launched a fashion partnership with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi.
Pleasure Principle will be Janet and Schiavi’s first US lingerie collection with plans to have product in stores as early as November 2008 across America, with Australia, Japan and Europe to follow.
By now, you’ve probably noticed that the brand name was inspired by Janet’s 1987 hit Pleasure Principle.
The first collection of Pleasure Principle offers 14 designs across a combination of bra styles from balconettes, demi cups to full coverage. Sizes will range from a 32A to 44G.
Danity Kane in Dollhouse
Celia Smith of Vibe.com reports:
If you happen spot any of the ladies from Danity Kane in a pair of skinny jeans, you can be certain they’re by Dollhouse.
The Making of the Band group has paired up with the fashion label for a November launch of the Danity Kane for Dollhouse denim line.
With a #1 selling album titled Welcome to the Dollhouse, the collaboration was a no brainer. The jeans, made of Japanese fabrics with intricate metal and zipper details, will be available on Dollhouse’s new online shop.

Brit girls suffering from Fashiorexia
You gotta love British women!
32% of British females say they would starve for their fashion.
And half of the female population are spending more on clothes and accessories each month than they are on food.
The new starve-for-fashion trend has given birth to the new diet phrase “fashiorexia.”
Despite the Credit Crunch and reports that the public are now spending less on non-essential items, 49% of fashion hungry shoppers are spending more on their appearance on a monthly basis than food.
All this comes from a survey of more than 4300 female members of the general public by star style stealing website, MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk.
Wyclef Writes Venus A Song
Here’s an interesting one.
Wyclef Jean has recorded a new song he says was inspired by fashion designer-athlete, Venus Williams.
The Haitian-born Grammy Award-winning musician/producer/social activist also wrote the song, “Venus (I’m Ready).”
He says he’s inspired by the spirit, character and prowess of the American tennis champion, who recently took home her third Olympic gold medal (with her sister Serena) in the women’s doubles match at the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
“Venus (I’m Ready)” is slated to premiere as Venus Williams’ theme music during the 2008 US Open tennis tournament in Flushing, Queens, New York, running from August 25 through September 7.

Jessica Simpson, Beer Drinker
courtesy celebritysnap.com
Multi-platinum singer. Movie star. Philanthropist. Entrepreneur. Fashion designer. Beer drinker?
Everyone knows about Jessica Simpson’s daisy dukes body, handbags, shoes and healthy lifestyle.
The all-American beauty and world-renowned entertainer has a passion for working out and making healthy food choices.
And now she’s signed an agreement with a new light beer called Stampede Light Plus.
The beer was started by a fitness expert and former Anheuser-Busch marketing employee, Lawrence Schwartz, and formulated by the late Dr. Joseph Owades (the creator of the first-ever light beer in 1967 — now Miller Lite).
It’s a strange endorsement, I think.
But I guess in the end, it’s all about the paper.
