UsWeekly polled it's readers to find out which celeb designer they think has the best style -- Choices were Heidi Montag, Lauren Conrad, Nicole Richie and Ashlee Simpson. You might be totally dumbfounded a little shocked when you find out the answer! Of almost 900,000 people, one of the girls took the victory with a solid 54%.

Will you be at the Westin Palace in Milan when George Clooney launches his new clothing line? Neither will anyone else, because the mysterious press release that was sent out yesterday -- announcing the launch of George Clooney's own GC Exclusive -- is a complete hoax. Word travels fast on the interweb, especially when it comes to Hollywood gossip, and within a few hours the news had spread.

While GC Exclusive does have it's own website -- which looks totally cheesy -- Clooney insists that this is some kind of early April Fool's prank. Who plays April Fool's jokes on the media in late March? That's weak. Is this another prank orchestrated by Ashton Kutcher and friends -- like that Paris Hilton's shaman thing?

Some of you may have already heard that Natalie Portman's new line of shoes is going to come out on January 15th. All her designs are animal-friendly, meaning they are cruelty-free and are produced in humane conditions. Even though I'm not quite as tenacious as Ms. Portman, I greatly admire the fact that she's put forth the effort to make this difference.

Elle.com has new pictures of the shoes and details on where to purchase. Each pair will set you back about $200. No one said it was cheap to be cruelty-free, unfortunately. Style-wise, I sort of feel like all of the shoes look a bit dated. I mean, they don't look necessarily out-of-fashion, but the preview pictures remind me of something I could have seen at a Nine West in 1998. I do rather like the shiny Mary Jane heels, though.

Psst... Honestly, I think most of the drive to buy is caused by the Natalie Portman name.

On AdJab yesterday, Adam Finley wrote that pop icon Justin Timberlake has a new line of school bags produced by Ful brand backpacks. While he isn't pictured on the bags or in the advertisements, the packs have the ever-so-subtle illusion to Timberlake by being dubbed the "JT line".

I suppose that this is an attempt to appeal to JT's younger audience -- the school-age girls who swooned over him in his boy-band days. But in the long run, I'm not so sure this is the best direction for him to take if indeed he wants to be a serious adult performer. With his solo career starting to really take off, I'm not so sure the backpack-wearing demographic is the one he should be courting. Backpacks don't have a lot of street cred, even if they were featured in Hustle & Flow.
