Joining the ever growing list of celebrities cashing in on their name recognition, Snoop Dogg -- a celebrity with one of the coolest names ever -- has teamed up with superstar CEO Robert Thorne to sling his own celebrity endorsed streetwear called "Rich and Infamous". According to Thorne (the guy behind the Olsens' clothing empire), the line is inspired by Snoop's "trend-savvy classic vision," but here's how Snoop explains the concept:

"It's a fraternity of sorts, from presidents to gangsters-who've been able to endure the burden of gaining wealth at any cost. Garnering equal parts admiration and disdain, these men savor the fruits and relish the spotlight."

The website is up, and so far -- we're kinda underwhelmed. The styles don't exactly scream "rich" or "infamous" to us. It's mostly just t-shirts -- and really overpriced ones at that. At least Snoop's totally candid about the fact that he's in it for the money. In a way, it's kind of refreshing -- though we seriously doubt that slapping his name on a clothing line will be the hardest buck he's ever made.

It's been a while since PETA came up with an idea hilarious enough to win us over, but this one has truly awesome/disgusting/ridiculous potential. It's centered around the fact that it's the Olsen twins' birthday this Friday -- the 13th -- and PETA wants the twins to receive some freaky gifts in the mail. Their idea: to have all fur-haters send them a birthday package containing some hair clippings and a note that says 'please, use my hair instead of the animals.'

Nicknamed the Trollsen Twins by PETA's Olsen-hating website -- Hairy Kate and Trashley -- the animal rights group apparently hates them because they use fur in the celebrity clothing line. We're OK with fur, but we think we might send some beard trimmings anyway -- just for a laugh. The sad thing about this gag is knowing that some poor intern will end up being the one to open all the disgusting hair packages.

It seems like easy breezy boho is here to stay, which makes us lazy folk very happy. We've all had a couple of years to get this look down pat but we haven't quite figured out what to do with our hair. That is until the fateful day we spotted a handful of starlets like Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, and Rachel Bilson supporting a milkmaid braid. Gloooorious.

Alright, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we get it -- you want to get your tiny little hands in everything. Clothing, make-up, and now jewelry -- before you know it, we're going to be eating itty-bitty Olsen frozen dinners and washing them down with their own brand of vodka.

And we kind of can't wait for that. But, in the meantime, we can focus on the fact that the world's most homeless-looking billionaires have started working with award-winning jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris on a line of jewelry for their Elizabeth and James clothing line.

Their new jewelry line will include dagger necklaces and other chunky accessories, and will be called Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. We should be seeing the launch within a few months, but in the meantime, you can check out some of Robert Lee Morris' other work to get an idea of what to expect!

The shiny perfection of a professional blowout is dreamy. We figure that's the best part about being a celeb, having a stylist to do your hair and make up before every appearance. The mystery is why, in the name of St. Joan Rivers On The Red Carpet, do so many of them show up with ratty hair and unflattering makeup?

Stylelist has a post about good hair/bad hair with some doozies. The Olsens are definitely big offenders, but they have nothing on Helena Bonham-Carter. We adore her, but her hair...words fail.

We know everyone can't be Cate Blanchett, but the world would be a better place if more of them tried to. Revisit Helena's many dramatic "appearances" in the gallery.

This has got to be one of the juiciest pieces of gossip we've ever heard -- and no, it's not about someone getting pregnant by her best friends husband, or another starlet on her way to rehab. This is about a common barista at Starbucks trying to do something for the greater good.

Today's poll over at sister site StyleList is Would You Wear a Turban? Thank you Olsen Twins and Prada, for another trip to Unwearable Village.

It's our opinion that you may only wear a turban:

• while doing your hair, at the spa or salon, or in the comfort of your own bathroom
• if you lost your hair due to cancer treatments or alopecia
• because it's part of your religion
• going to a Murder on the Orient Express party
• when the Queen grants you the use of Dame, e.g. Dame Elizabeth Taylor
• to satisfy an unbearable urge to pull out your old Dynasty costumes, i.e. you are Joan Collins

Otherwise, no.

Disagree with us? Head on over to the poll and vote!

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have achieved moderate success with their first fashion line, The Row. We suppose they figured, "Hey, we did OK with that, let's try another one." So they began a second line, this one called Elizabeth & James, after their siblings.

Why not? Even if it fails, it's not like the girls are going to go bankrupt.

Since it's such a big deal that Mary Kate Olsen actually wore something normal, I thought we'd do a Look For Less on her. You can get the whole outfit for under $185.

InTouch did a reader poll to find out which female celebrity deserves the title of Worst Fashion Offender of the year. Obviously the Olsen twins won. Is anyone really surprised by that?

But, there were a few shockers too. Victoria Beckham was on the list. Personally, I think she dresses well. Her style isn't all that original, but it's certainly not bad enough to be considered offensive!

Anyways, the rundown goes like this: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Courtney Love, Sharon Stone, Victoria Beckham, Tilda Swinton, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse. Let's discuss.

Courtney Love and Sharon Stone are basically permanent hot messes. All in favor of their placement on the list say, "Ay." AY!!!!

Lindsay Lohan has long since worn out the welcome of leggings as part of fashion. They were cute for about a minute, when properly placed underneath long tunic tops or short dresses -- not as pants.

Amy Winehouse constantly looks dirty and drugged, so I think it's safe to say she probably doesn't even realize what she's wearing half the time. I feel like we can't hold her responsible for the horrible fashion choices she has made.

Tilda Swinton isn't enough of a Hollywood player to be on this list (and I do mean fashion wise, because I realize she's an amazing actress). Sure, her Oscar dress was bad. Really bad. But, aside from that can you actually remember any other outfit she's worn to any other event? I doubt it.

The choice of Victoria Beckham totally confuses me, but I already said that. And, as for the Olsen twins, love 'em or hate 'em, they always keep people in the fashion world talking.

Do you disagree or agree with the women on this list?

Ever dreamed of living like a celebrity -- partying like a rock star in the city, then crashing at your fabulous apartment with gorgeous views overlooking downtown Manhattan? Yeah, I have too. Now you can know how the stars live -- even take a tour of one of their fancy shmancy apartments. But if you want to have it all for your very own, you'll need to pony up $12 million.

That's how much Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are asking for their swanky apartment in the West Village. It's a great location, amazing view, etc -- but I hope whoever buys it doesn't get stuck with their decor. It's almost uber-retro-chic, but still looks way too much like a high school girl's bedroom for any self-respecting grown-up to live there. The combination of these two drastically different design aesthetics is a total train wreck.

The twins design some decent clothing, so it's a little surprising that they can't the inside of the apartment look halfway decent. For $12 million, I think I'd be looking elsewhere.

Half of the world's most famous pair of fashion twins has been spotted with Lance Armstrong lately. Gossip columnists seem convinced that it's Ashley, but I still can't tell those Olsen sisters apart -- so who knows which twin has actually been engaging in serious PDA with the Tour de France champion.

Could this mean The Row will start making cycling gear? Probably not. But will it mean Lance Armstrong will be totally creeped out every time he watches Full House re-runs -- realizing that the first time he saw 3-year-old Michelle Tanner nauseate audiences with "You got it, dude!" he was in high school?

Absolutely.

Leggings are here to stay for the time being. Like any other style that has a shelf life of more than a year, it must evolve. The evolutionary chain for leggings is pretty short because they will always just be a really tight bottom. The only factors you can really change are their fabrication and the length. This fall leggings have done just that.

The newest leggings to be seen in are extra long latex leggings. Celebrities like Mischa Barton and the Olsen twins have been spotted around tinsel town wearing these glam rock inspired leggings. Celebrities aren't the only ones either; famous fashion designer/ stylist Patricia Field is selling them on her site as well as online super-retailer Shop Bop.

I have to say, as insane as they look I do like them. These leggings are great for an over-the-top rocker look, as well as tamer more casual look.

I will warn you to please wear with these latex leggings with caution, they aren't for everyone. If you wear them the wrong way you could end up looking like a bad Halloween costume, and no one wants to see you look like that.

Maybe you're interested in a career in the fashion industry, or maybe you've been obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen ever since Full House and you've been waiting your whole life for the chance to meet them in person. Whatever the case, now you can make your dreams come true, by working for twins' fashion label, The Row.

The pair recently put an ad on Craigslist for an intern, saying that all applicants should be able to do flat sketches, organize inventory for development and market samples, correspond with local factories, source fabric, find inspiration material, work on excel spreadsheets, run errands, put together tech packs, and source garment industry vendors.

Wow! Sounds like you'd practically be running the company. Only problem is, it's unpaid. So unless you're independently wealthy, you can look forward to days spent slaving away for the look-a-like fashion divas, and nights spent bartending so you can afford to pay rent.

"Puh-leeze!"
