Ever since we first clapped eyes on Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port on their first day at Teen Vogue, a certain fascination has since ensued. So when Teen Vogue severed their partnership with The Hills a couple of seasons ago, we thought that we'd seen the last of the teen bible's fashion cupboards. It seems however, that we may have been a bit hasty as Amy Astley, editor-in-chief of the magazine, recently let slip at a book signing event at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), that the magazine had been working on a new TV show.
Although she failed to give any additional information as to what we could expect from the new show, she did confirm that the show would definitely not be centred around her, saying, "I don't want to be a media personality. I've seen people laughed off Madison Avenue for taking the reality star route, it can really backfire."

Reality TV is that guilty pleasure we all love to hate but still find ourselves intrigued and somewhat envious of those who pluck up enough courage to allow us voyeurs to live vicariously through them and their TV antics. The likes of Lauren Conrad from The Hills and Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo of The City, have added a much needed 'cool-factor' to the proceedings.
Marc Jacobs looks set to join the ranks of the 'credible reality TV stars', as Gawker.com reported that he is preparing to feature in a new reality series, Kept, which is set around 'high-powered openly gay playboys' . Although Jacobs has not himself confirmed this new gig, having starred in Loic Prigent's feature length film, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton last year, it would be no surprise if the designer had been bitten by the 'acting' bug. Filming is not due to start until November but for those of you who have aspirations of starring in the next hit reality tv series, head to New York in a few weeks for the open casting call. Good Luck.

The likes of Ashley Tisdale, Kelly Osbourne, Jessica Lowndes and Lily Collins all graced the red carpet for the festivities. Unfortunately for us, we won't be able to catch it on 'The Hills' after both Whitney Port and Lauren Conrad have left the magazine and the show.

LA's blogging royalty, Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power celebrated with a bunch of trend setters at Sunset Towers, Hollywood for the launch of their new style guide, ''Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life.
The duo have made the transition from digital to hardback with their infamous blog, WhoWhatWear.com, with a book that features trends to include “winter shorts and leather leggings,” according to Power, “I’ll be wearing my leather leggings the most". Wearing BCBGeneration, LA reality show queen Lauren Conrad flicked through the new release, and after telling PEOPLE why she had came to celebrate the launch, Jessica Alba danced her Prada dress off to a dj set by Samantha Ronson. "I check out the site every other day," the Sin City star proclaimed, "They cut all the B-S out. I can go there to find out what the latest trend is".
Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life is available to buy exclusively at ShopBop, for $18.95.

Now that Lauren Conrad has stepped away from 'The Hills', MTV apparently needs another fashion-lover to fill the TV lineup. Introducing Jazmin Whitley, the 20-year-old aspiring fashion designer who'll star in 'House of Jazmin', the network's newest reality series. The LA-based show will follow Whitley as she works with her collection, Li Cari.
Before the premiere on Aug. 18 at 10.30 p.m. EST, W has offered some helpful insight. We'll just let one interview answer say it all.
When asked her fashion influences, Whitley responded: "I think my biggest influence and inspiration would be Coco Chanel because just, like, the cuts and the fabrics and everything are so, like, my personal style. And so it's so, like, exciting to see all of her work and how she started with hats, and when I was young I started designing, like, sketches of perfume bottles. I was just attracted to design in general and so then as I got a little bit older it, like, went, like, all the way toward fashion."
Oh my.
