6126–at least, I think that’s what it’s called. Lindsay Lohan’s new black leggings featuring exposed zips, glittery fabric and shiny knee patches.
“I’m doing my own leggings line,” the 21-year-old newsmaker told Life & Style. “I love leggings. They’ll have designs. Some of them will have prints and some will have patterns.”
LiLo started off by striking a pose outside the Vista Theatre in Hollywood, before grabbing a couple of models and hitting Robertson Boulevard where 50 photographers were promptly waiting for her.
I think it’s a good thing for Lindsay to do. Might give her a sense of responsibility… after all, from what we hear, she’s in a cash trap, having to pay $1 million for her hotels and $70,000 for tanning… huh.

Hollywood star Josh Hartnett is the new face of Emporio Armani’s newest fragrance for men, called “Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men.”
The 29-year-old Pearl Harbor star, ex-boy friend of Scarlett Johansson, is set to be unveiled as the spokesperson of the Italian fashion house’s fragrance, Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men in a ceremony during Milan’s Spring/Summer fashion week next year.
Giorgio Armani is a happy man. “Both on and off screen he has a charm and charisma that is magnetic,” he said. “His individuality, allure and nonchalant way of being are all qualities which inspired me in the creation of this new fragrance.”

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit seeking at least $5 million against L’Oreal with allegations that the French cosmetics maker is continuing to use her image to sell its products after the expiry of a contract.
The “Kill Bill” star stated that Lancome Parfums et Beaute & Cie boosted its worldwide sales and enhanced its “prestige, stature and bargaining power” by use of her name and likeness in campaigns after her contract expired. According to the lawsuit, the agreement expired in September 2004 in Europe and in December 2004 for the rest of the world.
“The use of Ms Thurman’s image after her contract expired, however minor, was neither deliberate nor intentional,” said Jennifer James, spokesperson for L’Oréal. The statement also implied that any use of Thurman’s image after the contract had expired was a mistake, not a commercial ploy.
Thurman, 38, is best known for her role as a gangster’s moll in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
I’ll be following up on this one, so stick with me.

Pop hottie Sophie Ellis-Bextor has replaced supermodel Kate Moss as the face of cosmetics giant Rimmel.
The 29-year-old star has signed a multi-million dollar three-year deal, shooting two ad campaigns per year, and has reportedly finished filming the first.
Apparently, Rimmel was looking to offer a breath of fresh air to target the teen and 20’s market, and Moss is said to “remain the face of the brand along with a larger scope of models who reach a broader range of markets,” according to a source.
“Not only is Sophie beautiful but she has the cool look Rimmel is looking for,” an insider said. “She is hip but is also a mum so she will sell to a range of ages. She is sexy and savvy with flawless skin and bags of attitude. She’s admired by young girls, she’s also a yummy mummy and men think she’s gorgeous.”
Mother of one, Sophie, who is married to rocker Richard Jones, 27 (from hit band The Feeling), scored pop hits with Groovejet and Murder On The Dancefloor. Daughter of ex-Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis, Sophie became the face of fashion chain Monsoon in 2006, and beat rivals including T4 host Alexa Chung, 24, and Bond girl Gemma Arterton, 22 for the Rimmel deal.

French actress Audrey Tautou will endorse Chanel’s classic No.5 fragrance next year, replacing current spokesperson Nicole Kidman.
Tautou, 29, will reunite with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet for the advertising blitz, which is said to be a short film campaign, a short film just like her predecessor’s ad with Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrman. The “Da Vinci Code” star and Jeunet have worked together before in the 2001 award-winning film “Amelie” and “The Long Engagement.”
Audrey fans will recall that she was cast as Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in a French movie depicting the fashion designer’s life before she attained fame. Coco Chanel (1883-1971) made such an impact on the fashion world that she was included in TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th Century.
