A Gossip Girl star on top of the world in her new Reebok ad campaign. Leighton Meester has partnered with the sportswear company for a new footwear line that will feature fashion forward styles in bold colors and sporty silhouettes for the urban girl–and who better to showcase this new line than the ultimate city girl? In the ads, Leighton will be showing off the new retro Top Down sneaker, part of Reebok’s Fly Generation collection. The Top Down, $60, will be available at all Lady Foot Locker Locations. Leighton will be in all in-store signage and print ads for the company starting this spring.

Soon you’ll be able to channel style icon Nicole Richie from head to toe — at least as far as accessories are concerned. Following the success of her line of headbands and jewelry, the star has just inked a deal to design footwear, WWD reports. Partnering with the manufacturers who produce Modern Vintage shoes and Earnest Sewn jeans, Richie will add a line of around 20 shoe styles to her House of Harlow 1960 label for spring of 2010, as well as bags, belts and small accessories. And according to business partner Rick Cytrynbaum, Richie will have creative control at every level of the design process. “Nicole is designing everything herself,” he says. “She’s totally devoted to this, and we’re creating a whole lifestyle around her aesthetic and what is true to her.”

The New York City high school socialites of "Gossip Girl" have inspired one famous designer to create a collection for Target. Under the store's Designer Collaboration series, Anna Sui has decided to take the styles of Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa and make them attainable to everyone, Women's Wear Daily reports. "When I was in Asia last year, all the young girls kept asking me about the different locations in New York City where the characters from 'Gossip Girl' live," Sui told WWD. The line is reportedly set to hit 250 select Target stores on September 13 and run through October 17.

Carrie Underwood was clearly not on the voting panel. Neither, no doubt, was any member of the Twilight nation. Gossip guy Chace Crawford was named People's Hottest Bachelor in the magazine's latest of its unending tributes to eye candy, beating out the likes of Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf, Adam Lambert and—horror of horrors—Robert Pattinson for the top spot. What the list lacks in A-listers (it's not nearly as loaded with established star power as the mag's Most Beautiful or Sexiest Man Alive roll calls), it more than makes up for in controversy. Among those bachelors whose hotness was deemed less incendiary than Crawford: Pattz's Twilight costar Kellan Lutz along with 90210 bromancer Ryan Eggold, Dwayne Johnson, reality stalwart Brody Jenner, Common and Taylor Kitsch. In the issue, the 23-year-old Footloose-starring coverboy (who was actually deemed "Summer's Hottest Bachelor"—guess this means People's crack evaluators are already at work on that fall issue) waxes on about life as a heartthrob. He dishes on such important matters as his first kiss, his ideal date, his gay rumors and his famous ex. "I have nothing bad to say about that experience," he says of his relationship with Underwood. "It was awesome. I just didn't know how to deal with it." Or, more accurately, end it. "I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight. It was such a whirlwind, but no regrets." As for his other rumored hookup, Gossip Girl costar Ed Westwick, he says the pair laughed off theories of a romantic entanglement. "You know what we really did the first time we heard it? Ed goes, 'Oh, did you hear that rumor about us being gay?' I was like, 'Yeah, man.' He starts laughing and we're kind of like, 'OK, you want to go play pool and have a beer.' " Crawford, who for the record first puckered up in fifth grade and thinks dating married women is "a definite no," says that while he is available, he doesn't exactly feel eager to jump into a romance. "I'm not not looking for a girlfriend—but I'm not particularly looking for a girlfriend, either. I'm not knocking having a relationship; at the end of the day, you want to share with someone. But I just look at it as: I have the rest of my life to do that. I'm not in any rush." Not unless someone can come by with a "pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation," elements he says comprise the perfect date. And interested ladies may want to brush up on their beer pong skills before approaching the actor. "The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut is a good sign!" Also getting shout-outs in the latest issue are Bradley Cooper, Zac Efron, Prince Harry, Rafael Nadel and Scrubs BFFs Zach Braff and Donald Faison.

From a chic Parisian cafe to a dimly lit New York studio, fashion’s dream team has produced the latest Louis Vuitton ads featuring Madonna. The star, along with designer Marc Jacobs and legendary photographer Steven Meisel, joined forces a second time to create Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign. From the collection’s rich, dark fall colors to the portrait-like feel of each picture, the new ads take a different direction than the previous season. "While the two campaigns look very different, there is also a unity about them," explains Marc Jacobs in the press release. "So it now feels like we have completed both parts of the story." Meant to evoke the golden age of Hollywood, the moody ads even have Madonna showing off the infamous bunny ears she first wore to the Met Gala back in May.

She already ranks as one of the world’s most successful perfumers, and this October Jennifer Lopez will launch another follow-up to her fragrance Glow, with Coty. My Glow by Jennifer Lopez will take an ultra-feminine approach, with floral notes including lavender, water lily, white rose peony and heliotrope. And the mom to 16-month-old twins Emme and Max found inspiration for the new scent close to home. The dual-sided cap is embossed with a baby boy and girl that mirror soaps in Jennifer’s nursery, and the box reflects her baby shower invitations. Eaux de toilettes will start at $49 for a 50 ml. bottle and the collection will also feature a body lotion for $30.

As if David and Victoria Beckham’s individual campaigns for Emporio Armani underwear weren’t scorchingly hot enough. The gorgeous couple has come together to pose for the newest round of ads for the fall 2009 campaign. Photographed by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the campaign was shot in Milan, where Armani is headquartered. You can expect to see the sexy ads not only in fashion magazines, but also on major billboards in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo starting this month. Hopefully they won’t distract too many drivers on the road!

After co-designing a midnight blue halter dress she wore to hubby Tom Cruise's 'Tropic Thunder' premiere last August, Katie Holmes is taking her talents to another level. Katie and her stylist Jeanne Yang will gear the collection toward women and children and will be "full of classic flare," according to Women's Wear Daily. The mag says they will call the line Holmes & Yang. Earlier this year, the actress was the face of a new Miu Miu fashion ad campaign. Areport confirms that Katie plans to launch a clothing collection that will be sold at Maxfield in the fall.
