Jessica Simpson will have her name featured on a maternity wear range.
The singer-and-actress - who gave birth to her first child, daughter Maxwell Drew, with fiance Eric Johnson on May 1 - has expanded her fashion empire after Camuto Group, the master licensee of the Jessica Simpson Collection, has penned a deal with Destination Maternity to design, produce and distribute garments branded with the blonde beauty's name.
"I'm [pleased] to partner with Destination Maternity to design a collection of fashionable styles that make you look and feel great. You want to wear clothes that are flattering to your baby bump; you want to show your bump off," she said.
The 1970s-inspired collection contains knit tops priced at $36, bottoms ranging from $36 to $59, and a number of signature denim garments, as well as maxi dresses and vintage print tops.

Rihanna has captured the "essence" of Armani perfectly with her second collection for the fashion house.
The "Rude Boy" hitmaker has teamed with Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear once again and the company are delighted with her designs. "Rihanna is a great artist. She has personality, charisma and energy, and has been a pleasure to work with. She captures the young and contemporary essence of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans perfectly," Giorgio Armani said.
The latest collections from Rihanna - who has been the fact of both labels for the past two seasons - includes four t-shirts, three denim pieces, a boiler suit, shorts, shoes, a canvas bag in two sizes and a leather jacket for Armani Jeans, while there is also a selection of matching sets for Emporio Armani Underwear.
Rihanna has previously spoken of her desire to have her own fashion line, admitting she wants to be taken seriously as a designer rather than simply endorse a range of products: "I'm really pursuing a fashion line of my own. I want to design. "This is also a road that I want to earn it. So I'm working with designers. Designers that I respect, and [fashion] companies that I respect. I want people to really trust me before I just say 'Buy it, because it's mine.'"

Kanye West has slammed the style of American men.
The outspoken musician recently took a drive through New York City and was disgusted by the clothes he saw its inhabitants wearing, leading to a Twitter rant in which he blasted his pet hates.
"Just driving through the city and I see a few thing I hate... I hate button up sh**s with hoodies, I hate hoodies with sport coats, I hate sport coats with button up shirts, jeans and dress shoes, I hate khaki trench coats with jeans and off brand work out sneakers , I Hate big a**s striped scarves, I hate long a** sideburns with the line up RnB beard (sic)" he wrote on his Twitter. "...all this is 5 blocks. Detest (sic)" he added.

Beyonce Knowles was a contender for worst dressed at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York on Monday night.
The usually stylish singer donned a Givenchy Haute Couture gown for the occasion - which this year celebrated Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli - but the sequinned, feathered disaster failed to impress as she arrived at the event at the city's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jude Law is obsessed with manicures.
The actor hates it when his nails are not neat and tidy and regularly has treatments on his hands: "I'm obsessed with nail cutting. I've had manicures. I've become a bit obsessed about my nails. Playing a sailor in the play Anna Christie, I had to shove black make-up under my nails and couldn't scrub it all out for two months - it was a nightmare. I'm proud to say that my kids come to me, not their mum, to have their nails cut."
Although Jude takes care of his appearance, he doesn't like it when men appear to have taken too much time to look good.
"Men shouldn't be too groomed. I love the ritual of getting ready for an event, but you can tell when a guy has been standing in front of a mirror for too long. Over-trimmed beards, over-styled hair, perfecting a look for hours and pretending it's effortless - do me a favor! My routine is shower, aftershave and, until recently, trimming my beard, which I've had for nearly a year for Anna Karenina."
Emma Watson loves doing people's make-up. The Harry Potter actress loves applying cosmetics to her friends and family and is always happy to pass her beauty tips on to them.
"I love doing make-up. I did my mum's make-up for all her job interviews and whenever I go out, I do their make-up too. My specialty? I like quite a natural look, but I do everything really. People underestimate the power of an eyebrow. I recently got my friend into penciling hers in, which she thought was such a strange concept at first," she said.
However, Emma is aware that much beauty advice contradicts other snippets of wisdom so advises people not to listen to everything they are told: "Don't listen to everyone. It's kind of overwhelming, especially with your diet and skincare. You get so many different pieces of advice, you don't know what to listen to. I think people need to judge what works for them and trust their intuition."
Sienna Miller Put Ketchup in Her Hair

Sienna Miller used to wash her hair with tomato ketchup.
The Factory Girl actress had a disastrous experience when she applied a Henna-based color to her tresses, leading her to take drastic action to help get rid of the "green tinge" some time later.
"I've had some real hair disasters. I once used henna to dye my hair brown for an audition, thinking I was being clever because it's all natural. Little did I know it was the worst thing I could've done as it coats the follicles so nothing else can penetrate and I ended up having to put ketchup on it for about a year to get rid of the green tinge."
Sienna spends a lot of time looking after her hair because it frequently feels brittle and dry, but she insists it isn't essential to spend a lot of money to get it back in good condition: "Because I have to mess with my hair so much for work it gets pretty dry and I'm constantly looking for products to put back the moisture. Recently I've discovered Philip Kingsley's Elasticizer Pre-Shampoo Treatment, which I love. But I don't think you have to spend a fortune - the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle stuff is great."
Dita Von Teese Perfected Her Look
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models
Dita Von Teese used to practice her beauty routine. The burlesque dancer is famed for her glamorous look but admits it's taken years to get it right and find a look that suited her.
"It depends on my time clock how long I need to get ready. Whether I have two minutes, or I have five minutes or if I have an hour. For example a quick day to day routine for five minutes would be mascara, powder and red lipstick and hair in a chignon. Once a woman has established what her look is and her routine is - you can practice and then get very quick. I've been practicing for such a long time."
However, Dita - who recently launched her own perfume - says she still needs a mirror when getting ready because her look is so precise: "No mirror? I definitely need a mirror but mine is very precise style. Steady hand I've been painting that eyeliner for 22 years. You certainly can't do a cat eye with no mirror. And you can't do it on the go either - it is too precise!"

Selena Gomez says her first fragrance campaign is "very sensual." The singer-and-actress is wearing a sexy purple dress while she is submerged in water in the ad for the self-titled perfume and she is thrilled with the results.
"The water is actually lit from underneath, so it made it look pink and purple, like the colors of the bottle. I wanted it to look like I was swimming in my fragrance. It's very romantic, very sensual. But it's fun and beautiful at the same time. I don't really understand why I decided to be underwater [in the ad] but it looked cool!" she told People.

Eva Green gets "depressed" if she is on a diet. The Dark Shadows actress was once told she had to lose weight for a role, but found going on an all-soup eating plan made her miserable and she couldn't do it again.
"Before my first film, the casting director asked me to lose some weight, saying, 'On screen you're going to look much fatter.' I started drinking soups and then I was like, 'I can't do it, I can't go on a diet.' It's hell, it makes you very depressed - food is so important to me. I couldn't go on."
Eva admits she feels like an "ugly duckling" in Hollywood, but would not undergo cosmetic surgery to improve how she felt about herself: "It's not all about physique and how beautiful you look. In this business actors who have Botox or surgery make you very aware of age. It's awful. In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something."
