Lauren Conrad loves to gossip!Set to appear in an upcoming episode of ABC Family’s Greek, reality star Lauren Conrad has spilled the beans on a guilty pleasure of hers: Gossip Girl.

“I love Gossip Girl. I just love it. It’s so gossipy and superficial. It’s amazing,” Conrad said, obviously never one to try be above such silly things, considering her role life on MTV’s The Hills.

Then again, fans of the “fashion designer” shouldn’t get their hopes up—Conrad took it back: “I probably wouldn’t want to see myself on there because it would ruin it for me. I like watching other people get gossiped about. It makes me feel better.”

How profound you are, Lauren!

Taylor Momsen signs model dealFor someone who plays a character who is completely immersed in the world of fashion, it was only a matter of time before Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen would bag a modeling deal for herself.

Of course, it was also no surprise that the 14 year old signed with one of the most lucrative agencies, IMG Models, who employs A-list celebrities including Drew Barrymore, Heidi Klum, Liv Tyler, and Hilary Duff.

No word yet as to the details of the contract, but Taylor did spill some of her own fashion secrets: “I love wearing jeans and T-shirts. That’s like a uniform for me. But at the same time, I love getting dressed up. I don’t follow trends with my everyday fashion. I wear what I feel like. Sometimes it doesn’t match and sometimes that’s okay.”

Christian Siriano It seems ’s 15 minutes are nowhere close to being up.

In the past few weeks, the Project Runway winner has had a date with Posh Spice, been mocked on Saturday Night Live and created a dress for singer Kimberley Locke to wear on American Idol.  Now Siriano will be moving on to the next phase of his career: acting.

Come May sweeps, the designer will be appearing on the second best show suited for him.  He and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia will be stopping by the offices of Mode on .  Coincidentally, Siriano’s idol (Victoria Beckham) has also guested on the series.

No word yet as to what role Christian’s role on the comedy will be, but I’m hoping that it will somehow involve him brushing Wilhelmina off.  Better yet - maybe he should compete with Marc to be Amanda’s bestest friend.  Ooh....the possibilities!

Christian SorianoWith the season finale of Bravo’s trendiest reality show, around the corner, fans across America are almost divided between the top two finalists, Christian Siriano and Jillian Lewis. I am here to tell you exactly why Christian must absolutely win this competition.

To begin, let’s talk about . Throughout the show, Rami’s designs have been good. Sometimes they were too good, and no one knew just why until last week’s episode explained why: he’s already an established designer! Unlike the other three contestants who were living in poor New York studios, Rami had his own studio. Not only that, but his collections are in fifteen boutiques in both L.A. and New York. To top it all off, he has clothed Jessica Alba (his piece is actually in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Dita Von Teese, Paula Abdul, and , to name a few. Why the hell is this guy on the show in the first place?!

Project Runway 9, ChristianApparently it pays to remind people over and over that ‘you’re fierce and kind of a big deal’. That strategy netted contestant a cool $10,000. Siriano was voted this season’s “Fan Favorite” by a landslide. The results were unveiled during tonight’s Project Runway: Season 4 reunion show.

This season of the show featured some incredibly talented and professional designers. While it didn’t have the same sexy mix of volatile characters (see Wendy Pepper in season 1 or Santino Rice in season 2), the clothes themselves were fascinating as was watching the process that these talented designers used to come up with them. Not surprisingly, some of the designers have become role models for young children and even favorites of celebrities. Kit talked about how young girls are emailing her scans of their designs to ask for advice. She says she loves being a positive influence. Lovable kook Elisa also said she loves the message she seems to be sending young girls that it is okay to be different. Sweet P, who was eliminated in the last episode, said she’s heard from celebrities like and Catherine Keener that she was their favorite on the show.

‘Project Runway’ Finale: Posh Sees Clear Winner

Project runway finale fanatics will have to wait a few more weeks to find out which designer won the big prize. But people who saw the remaining contestants’ final runway shows on the last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City say it should be well worth the wait.

The only spoiler provided in the Bryant Park tents Friday was who will serve as the season finale guest judge: .

The 1000 or so fashionistas in the crowd are none the wiser on who the finalists actually are.  Since there are still two more episodes before the two-part season finale, all five remaining designers sent their collections down the runway. Two served as decoys to throw off the crowd. When the finale airs you’ll only see the three finalists’ collections.

Guest judge Victoria Beckham, a style icon known for making bold choices and setting major trends (i.e. the asymmetrical bob), said she saw a clear winner in the pack. Of the designer Beckham considers the best she says, “everything I saw I would wear myself”.

So what were the collections like? Insiders say the designers expanded on what they were already known for during Project Runway: Season 4.

Project Runway: Season 4: ‘Raw Talent’

Project Runway WWE episodeWhat is the polar opposite of high fashion? I’m guessing professional wrestling after watching tonight’s episode of on Bravo.  Tonight’s challenge had the six remaining designers creating a look for the Divas of .  (That stands for World Wrestling Entertainment for the uninitiated.)

This challenge took the lingerie and figure skating challenges of seasons past to a whole new and tackier level. You don’t need a degree from Parsons to know that under the best of circumstances it is hard to make spandex, stretchy lace and rhinestones classy or wearable.

Despite the violence they inflict in the ring, the Divas of WWE seem like fairly nice gals. They requested outfits that best showcased their wrestling alter egos… like the sexy tomboy or sexy gold digger or my favorite: the classy sexpot.

Britney SpearsIt’s been announced that will host a fashion event in Beverly Hills next month: the Scandinavian Style Mansion party. The founder of the event said Spears is “a style icon for women” and they’re quite pleased she’ll be involved. (Listen, when women start taking fashion clues from Britney Spears we’ll all be wearing black bustiers - and no one wants that on a runway.)

In other Britney news, The Associated Press is preparing for the eventual death of Spears. Not that they want her to meet her demise anytime soon, but they do want to be prepared if/when she does kick off.  The news media sometimes prepares celeb obits in advance, though generally not for stars who are still so young.
