H&M has announced it will be launching a collection designed by Lanvin's artistic director Alber Elbaz, and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver. The collection will be unveiled on November 2 and will go on sale on November 23 in around 200 H&M stores worldwide. The Lanvin for H&M collection will be revealed to the world through a special film which will be launched on November 2.
Alber Elbaz, Artistic Director of Lanvin, explained why he decided to the H&M collection. He said, "H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world."
Chris Robinson, lead singer of the Black Crowes and ex-husband of Kate Hudson, is no fan of Taylor Swift. In fact, he went on a lengthy diatribe about how awful and untalented she is during an interview with Nylon Guys magazine. He says it's just embarrassing that any adults listen to her music and then talks about how he hates today's prepackaged acts. E! reports:
"I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," he says.
The Black Crowes lead singer claims he is a musical snob who can't stand packaged acts.
"They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same...When you have computers doing it all for you...there's no individuality," he says. "Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality."
We understand what he's saying about the outrageous use of Autotune and studio effects on albums, but that's the reality of the digital age. Taylor sings live with no enhancements all the time. She's certainly not always "perfect" on stage, but she always has that "emotionality" he's ranting about.
As for her songwriting, there is room for all kinds of music. Trust us, he and Taylor Swift share no fans at all. There is no need to be such a jerk about Taylor, who is a talented and hardworking young woman. Just because he doesn't like her music doesn't mean many others don't love it. There are many people who would rather have total silence rather than listen to Chris croak out one of his tunes. Talk about needing some Autotune...
Check out this awesome commercial for German TV channel ProSieben's Star Force. ProSieben's motto is "We love to entertain you" and it is famous for its "Star Force" intros which feature celebrities doing fun promos for the station.
This promo features Katy Perry singing "Teenage Dream" in a futuristic setting that is totally unlike the laid-back California style of the official video. Katy starts out wearing a bright red version of the classic Marilyn Monroe dress she wore in The Seven Year Itch then later channels the iconic scene in Dr. Strangelove as she rides a nuclear missile. It's so awesome: it's better than the original video, we have to say.
Best Friends Pet Care has opened a luxury pet resort at Walt Disney World. We love the kitty face and the giant bone scultpure. The pet resort offers 17,000 square feet of air-conditioned indoor space, 10,000 square feet of covered outdoor runs and play areas, and an exclusive 25,000-square-foot dog park.
The facility can accommodate as many as 300 pets for both daytime and overnight boarding. Dog owners can choose from a variety of accommodations, ranging from a standard 32-square-foot all-indoor suite, to an expansive 226-square-foot VIP (Very Important Pet) suite with television, raised bedding and private outdoor yard. Feline guests stay in the separate Kitty City pavilion - away from the dogs - in two and four-room condos. There also is a special area for the boarding of pocket pets, small mammals and birds.
The resort also includes a grooming salon and two 1,100-square-foot camp rooms for play group and doggy day-camp. There is also a 1,300-square-foot splash-and-play water feature for dogs. Available amenities and upgrades include ice cream treats, bottled water and premium orthopedic bedding.
Vogue's Valerie Boster and Casting Director John Pfeiffer take us behind the scenes at the casting call for 200 models to work on Fashion's Night Out. Valerie explains what she's looking for. She says a lot of the girls are embarrassed to say if they're over 21, (you know, because they're so old and decrepit), but she says she'll take them all the way up to the advance ad of 24. After all, they have some experience then. Sigh. Take a look:

A new report from the CDC says 1 in 7 home kitchens would fail a restaurant health inspection. Dr. Jennifer Ashton shared some tips for keeping your kitchen clean on the Early Show. Sponges are one of the biggest germ magnets. Dr. Ashton suggests putting sponges in the microwave for a couple minutes to kill the bacteria that is probably living on them. Bacteria also reside on cutting boards. Plastic cutting boards are better than wood. Take a look:
