Twenty new fashion-based reality shows will hit TV this fall. Some follow niche industry insiders like Annabel Tollman and Cameron Silver while others laud Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie as experts—Alexa Chung’s is somewhere in between the two. Lifetime’s working on a show called 24-Hour Catwalk that sounds a lot like Project Runway with designers battling it out on the runway through various challenges. Chung will play the Heidi Klum role. The network’s EVP tells WWD, “The thing that is happening now in fashion culture is that every character and subset of skill is being explored, and there is going to be great shows coming out of that.”
Chung’s an interesting choice for host, especially on Lifetime. She’s a full-fledged star in the UK, having hosted shows on MTV and BBC. Though the fashion world’s welcomed her with open arms—both Chung the person and Alexa the style—her dry British humor didn’t go over quite as well in the States where MTV canceled It’s On With Alexa Chung after just one year. After that, Chung hosted a show with Henry Holland in the UK and was then set to star in a cross-country vintage-hunting reality show in America. That fell through, and she hasn’t been on TV since It’s On ended, but her Madewell collection was a huge success. Do you think she’s found enough stateside fame to make 24-Hour Catwalk a hit?
Amber.Stardoll- Pink and her husband Carey Hart are just about the coolest celebrity couple we know! It has not even been two months since they became first-time parents to a baby girl named Willow, and they're already getting their motorcycling on! We spotted them racing through Malibu on top of two huge Harley Davidson motorcycles this weekend. Good for them we say! Knowing when to take a break is essential when raising a baby.

It seems that Oscar nominations, rigorous academic pursuits, and a major book publication just ain’t enough for this Renaissance man. James Franco, who is either schizophrenic, an overachiever or leisure-phobic (most likely all three), is most recently adding “recording artist” to his already jam-packed CV. Kalup and Franco, a musical collaboration between the multi-talented film star and performance artist Kalup Linzy, released their second track, ‘Turn it Up,’ on July 12. The duo also recently released their first music video for the track ‘Rising.’ Unfortunately for those excited about this fresh batch of James Franco eye-candy, the avant-garde video predominantly features four minutes of a wigged Linzy crooning on top of psychedelic visuals. If you’re curious, check it out here, but don’t say we didn’t warn you. Polyester wigs and trippy visuals aside, the tracks, released on Dutty Artz (yes, this is a real record label) are not half bad.

- We spotted a heavily pregnant Tori Spelling take her kids Stella and Liam out for slushies in Los Angeles this past Friday. The trio seemed to be enjoying the warm weather + ice cold drinks combo and were later joined by dad/husband Dean McDermott for some shopping at Kitson!

Crossovers are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. We’ve seen singing sensations like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce successfully merge onto the acting scene. And we’ve seen actors and actresses dabble in singing careers (Zooey Deschanel, Scarlett Johansson, and Selena Gomez to name a few). It seems there’s a new sensation on the rise though, and that’s the transition from the catwalk to Boardwalk. Models are trying their hand at this part of showbiz and doing quite well.

It’s not the guest stars and the cameos that keep us coming back to Entourage season after season, but they certainly keep things interesting. While our main boys play characters on the HBO program, which follows the L.A. exploits of movie star Vince Chase and his entourage of best friends, the celebrity guest stars play themselves—albeit highly dramatized versions. Every episode, a new selection of Hollywood A-listers caricature themselves in their hilarious appearances, and we can’t wait to see who this (final!) season brings. (Hint: Alex Rodriguez and Charlie Sheen are rumored to be in the mix!) To prepare for the season 8 premiere this Sunday, we’ve listed our favorite celeb appearances of seasons past:

- One of our favorite stores (EVER) is Forever 21! We love the low price, which means we can keep our wardrobe in constant rotation with the season's hottest trends. Forever 21 has been huge in the US for some time and for those abroad there's a great online store BUT if you live in London your in luck because Forever 21 just opened their newest store on Oxford street! Check out some of the hot photos from the launch party!

In case you doubted Roberto Cavalli’s committment to copying God, check out these limited edition exercise bikes. There’s not a lot of room for leopard on such a thing, but if anyone could find a way to work in animal prints, it’s the Italian designer. He covered the seats and (dangerous looking) handlebars with spots, while leaving the actual wheel matte black. Cavalli made the bikes with Ciclotte, an Italian company led by designer Luca Schieppati that boasts of designs with “absolutely no frills, completely essential setting and fittings, and simplicity and immediacy of use.” If you don’t like leopard, Cavalli’s also designed zebra and jaguar versions, the latter of which comes on a gold wheel. And if you don’t want to splurge on a Cavalli themed bike (or it’s not an option in your New York apartment), he’s designed a range of gym clothes to go with them—and we bet leopard leggings would make you run even faster on the treadmill. All of it—the bikes and the clothes—hits Cavalli’s boutiques this month.
