It’s pretty clear that Elle is skewing its cover choices a bit younger lately. While we’re huge Gwen Stefani fans, we weren’t at all psyched about Megan Fox.

And perhaps even less so about Miley Cyrus, here on the August cover. Though at least we can appreciate how incredibly famous she is, whether we like it or not.

The fact that we don’t hate the picture is actually throwing us off, big time. We’ve never seen Miley’s hair and makeup look so subdued. She actually looks rather lovely, don’t you think?

But don’t you worry, she’s still the same girl we love to mock.

Just when we thought that word of a possible Ungaro/Lohan pairing was as bad as we’d see this week in fashion meets Hollywood news, WWD tells us that Max Azria is partnering with Miley Cyrus for a juniors line that will sell at Wal-Mart.

While obviously this collaboration makes more sense to us, at least financially - Miley is a HUGE brand after all, albeit one that makes us grind our teeth and want to scream and juniors is certainly the right market - we just don’t think being famous and wearing clothes should mean that your own collection is the next step.

We’re so sorry, Max. But this does not make us happy. Especially when it means that we’ll probably be forced to see even more of Miley come Fashion Week in September.

Of course, we want to see brands succeed, but at what cost?

So you probably know Norma Kamali did a line for Walmart. Everything in the collection is exactly what you’d expect - cocoon sweaters, cropped jersey jogging pants, tank dresses, etc. But she also ventured into shoes and accessories which aren’t exactly typical.

The only Norma Kamali accessories we remember are her signature turbans and the occasional sunglasses. Now she can add the patent wristlet clutch to her repertoire - or can she? The clutch seems a little too reminiscent of that signature Marc Jacobs key ring pouch that your little sister, best friend, and even mom might have.

We really love that Norma Kamali joined everyone else in doing a cheaper line for a large retail chain, but that doesn’t mean you have to change up other designers’ ideas. Just saying.

What do Rumer Willis, Kristin Cavallari, Christina Milian, Josie Maran, Pete Wentz, Corbin Bleu and Wilmer Valderamma have in common?

a) They all wear clothes.

b) Their careers need help.

c) They frequently grace the pages of US Weekly.

d) They fascinate people under the age of 20.

e) All of the above.

Iconix Brands Inc., are thrilled to announce the group will appear in various ad campaigns for their new junior brand, Op, to be sold at select Wal-Mart stores around the country.

Just please don’t tell us they’ll be co-designing the line, we might have a heart attack.

WWD reports that Donna Karan is relieving herself of 20 years of clothes, accessories, and stuff from her house(s). We wonder…

How will she fit a warehouse full of stuff in her studio? Will it spill out onto the street Brooklyn yard sale style?

Will people really buy her old bed? And sleep in it? Does it come with Donna Karan linens?

We hear she’s selling couture gowns and runway samples from her own collections. But how will that fit into her $20 to $2,000 price range?

Do you think her inspirational rock will be fore sale? Because it would make a great paperweight

Will there be security to fend off crazy Barbra fans from trampling everyone else?

We hope so. But if this sale foreshadows a collection for WalMart ala Norma Kamali, we will cry into our Seven Easy Pieces.

March 14 and 15, the Steven Weiss Studio - Be there!
