Chrissy Teigen Takes a Nude Selfie, JCPenney Loses Thousands of Employees, and Marc Jacobs Busted for Real ‘Faux’ Fur

Has Chrissy Teigen found an Instagram Terms of Service loophole? The Sports Illustrated model posted a nudie pic (naturally) to celebrate her 200,000th follower and has yet to face the repercussions. {Gawker}

We’re starting to feel really bad for JCPenney. The struggling department store just laid off 2,200 employees in addition to the 19,000 it already let go in the course of its revamp. {HuffPo}

New face of Sheba cat food (yep) Eva Longoria is certainly taking her spokeswoman duties seriously: The actress showed up to a brand event with an actual feline in hand. {The Cut}

American Apparel is not too pleased about the recent ASA ban of one of their ads, reporting that the “sexualized child” in the banned ad was actually 23 years old when the photo was taken. {WWD}

Why Jessica Simpson (and Any Celeb for that Matter) Won’t Rake in Millions for Their Baby Photos Anymore

People mag has reportedly paid $800,000 to publish the exclusive first photos of Jessica Simpson’s new baby, WWD is reporting. The WWD article also rather snark-ily points out that $800,000 is a relatively low fee for exclusive new baby photos, and that there was no bidding war for photos of baby Maxwell Drew Johnson.

The thing is, those days of paying millions for baby photos–Nicole Richie reportedly got $1 million for her baby photos while Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were rumored to get up to $6 million for photos of their twins–are long gone.

Jessica Simpson Finally Gives Birth to Baby Girl Maxwell Drew Johnson

It finally happened: Jessica Simpson gave birth to baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson today. Big congrats to the fashion mogul and her fiance, former NFL-er Eric Johnson!

Simpson is a human lady like any other and it is impossible that her pregnancy went on for much longer than nine months but the longstanding joke has been that Simpson seemed like she was pregnant forever. The operative word announcing her pregnancy over Twitter today is that Simpson “popped.” Of course, Simpson’s pregnancy only seemed never-ending because she’s in the public eye all the time. Still, she showed early and just kept getting bigger. Case in point? That photo of Simpson (above, left) was taken in January. So it’s not a surprise that baby Maxwell weighed in at an impressive 9 lbs. 13 ounces, Us Weekly is reporting.

Fashion News Roundup: Jessica Simpson Knocks Off Christian Louboutin, the Real Reason Prom Got So Slutty, and the Cigarette that Caused the Fire at Macy’s

Jessica Simpson’s Shoes Look a Lot Like Louboutins: Jessica Simspon better watch her (already extremely strained) back. The singer turned mainstream fashion mogul has been accused of knocking off one of Christian Louboutin’s shoe designs. We’d be hard-pressed to say that the J.Simps’ shoes don’t look the spitting image of Loub’s (those are hers on the right, CL’s on the left), but at least they don’t feature those red soles that landed YSL in the messiest (and never-ending) fashion suit of the year. {NY Mag}

So How Did Prom Get So Slutty? No, we don’t mean what happens after the dance… we’re talking dresses. From poofy tulle creations to Jersey Shore bling, here’s an in-depth look at what really caused the Real Housewife-ication of high school proms. It all started in 2005… {BuzzFeed Shift}

So-Last-Season Style: Does your style have an expiration date? One girl defends her undying love for those glittery Miu Miu pumps that had already been shunned by most of the fash pack before they even made it to market. {Refinery29}

Harpers Bazaar‘s Zoe Bruns Going to J.Crew: Looks like J.Crew’s crew is growing! Zoe Bruns has left her position as photography and bookings director at Harper’s Bazaar to become the new vice president of brand design at J.Crew. {WWD}

A Grocery Store Censored Jessica Simpson’s Pregnant, Naked Elle Cover

We can now add Jessica Simpson to the list of censored magazine cover stars.

Apparently someone feels that her naked, pregnant Elle Cover isn’t suitable for all audiences. Someone sent Jezebel this photo of the glossy on a newsstand in an Arizona grocery store behind a piece of cardboard that covers everything but Simpson’s face with “PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE CARDBOARD” scrawled on it. Is that really necessary?

Why NBC’s Fashion Star May Be a Fashion Reality Show Game Changer

NBC’s new fashion reality show Fashion Star, which debuts tonight, might just be the very first one to leave contestants with an actual successful career path and some cash. In general, these programs don’t have a great track record of producing designers and models that actually become successful or commercially viable. Not to mention, there Read more →
