Madonna Sets Sights On ‘Truth Or Dare’ Fashion Line, Fragrance

‘Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand,’ singer says in a statement. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: James Devaney/ WireImage Madonna helped make tweens Material Girls with her clothing line and now she’s got her sights set on their moms. The OG Material Girl announced that she’s launching a new fashion brand called “Truth or Dare by Madonna.” Aimed at women between the ages 27 and 50, Madonna will serve as the face of the company. For her Material Girl line, which she designed with her daughter Lourdes, she hired former “Gossip Girl”-turned-rocker Taylor Momsen and later Kelly Osbourne to serve as the brand’s model. “Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand,” Madonna said in a statement, according to Yahoo . “The timing is right and I have found great partners in Iconix, who can help translate my vision to reality.” In addition to the eventual inclusion of accessories, handbags and lingerie and the possible launch of a full clothing line, Madge will kick things off in April 2012 with her first-ever signature fragrance, joining the ranks of other pop stars like Justin Bieber , Taylor Swift , Britney Spears and Mariah Carey, to name a few. “I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me but that other people could relate to as well,” she said. “Something honest, and yet daring, hence the name ‘Truth or Dare.’ ” “Truth or Dare” is named after Madonna’s 1991 documentary of the same name. It chronicled the life of the singer on her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, giving fans an insider look at life on the road with the pop star. The news of Madonna’s clothing line comes as she releases her film “W.E.” and continues to work on her next studio album with Ray of Light producer William Orbit. It’s expected to drop next spring , coinciding with the release of Truth or Dare. Related Artists Madonna

Britney Spears Hides Her Sweater Mounds

Apparently Britney Spears is still on tour, I guess someone out there still wants to watch her stand around lip-syncing to crappy hits, but it doesn’t look like it’s agreeing with her hotness. To be fair, I don’t think she’s been considered hot for quite some time now -the whole ‘Shave your head and attack a car with an umbrella’ incident kinda ruined her image- and this turtleneck and dumpy skirt combination certainly isn’t helping. Better luck next time.

Britney Spears Pole Dances For Joe Jonas

Britney Spears was doing her thing in concert last night. Her very sexy, VIP strip club/Cinemax-resembling thing. The singer, who performed with Joe Jonas during the latest stop on her Femme Fatale tour at Wembley Arena in London, performed on Joe Jonas a bit later. The pop icon has been joined by Joe for some shows as she tours the UK. Nice to see she’s initiated him into the fold by wrapping her legs around Jonas’ head. Jealous much, guys? Ladies? Maybe not as much as past years. The Daily Mail reported that Britney’s ticket sales have been sluggish and her performances “lack soul.” What do you think? Does Britney Spears still have it?

Taylor Swift Considers Lawsuit Over Phony Topless Photo

For the record: Taylor Swift is NOT posing topless anywhere on the Internet. That much is certain. Over the weekend, however, a site desperate for traffic photoshopped a picture to make it look – to the REALLY untrained eye – as if the singer were propped on her bed, shirt off, smile on her face. Taylor Swift and Shawn Colvin on Stage Protective of her reputation, Swift has fired off a letter demanding the site remove the image. As of this writing, though, it remains live on a URL that bills itself as a “holy Muslim celebrity gossip site” and which has “jihad” in the name. Seriously, it’s not even worth linking to. We’re not gonna give the owners the pleasure. Just rest assured, readers, that any headline you see that screams TAYLOR SWIFT TOPLESS is a lie. Thank you.

POLL: What Was the Worst Celebrity Marriage Ever?

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humpries after just 72 days of marriage. Perhaps her fairy tale wedding was not what it was meant to be after all. Or maybe it was, given who we’re talking about. She made millions off her big day and E! can start looking for her next future ex-husband in the near future. They’re far from the only stars to tie the knot only to bail almost immediately, however. Where do Kim and Kris rank among the worst celebrity marriages? In the last decade, stars like Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Murphy and Pamela Anderson (twice!) have seen unions dissolve within the same year of their nuptials. Heck, Britney Spears tied the knot to Jason Alexander in Vegas and had it annulled 55 hours later. Time enough for him to get it in, and that’s about it. One of the shortest in recent times came when Chris Kattan wed Sunshine Tutt on June 28, 2008 … and divorced her August 10. Terrible marriage, awesome name. Even more recently, Tara Reid and Zack Kehayov tied the knot in August of 2011, but now she’s saying it was bogus and never even legal. Weaksauce. Which union was the worst of them all? Vote below! Admittedly we kept the list very recent and defined “worst” by shortest. To submit your own as an honorable mention, hit the comments section below!

‘X Factor’: Melanie Amaro Stands Out As Five Go Home

First live episode whittles pool down to 12 finalists. By Adam Graham Melanie Amaro performs on ‘X Factor’ Photo: FOX Five contestants were shown the door on Tuesday’s “X Factor,” the first live episode of the singing competition. Among those sent away during the two-and-a-half-hour episode was Dexter Haygood, the formerly homeless contestant who once lived on L.A.’s Skid Row. Haygood — described early on as the “funky phenomenon” by his mentor Nicole Scherzinger — said he was “kinda confused” by the dismissal, which followed his bizarro-world mash-up of Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” and Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” though he then said he didn’t know why he was confused. “Right now I’m in the boggle zone, which is the 21st century twilight zone,” Haygood explained. Also sent packing during the episode were 20-year-old Tiah Tolliver, a favorite of Simon Cowell’s who was never liked by the other judges; 22-year-old Simone Battle, who plugged her upcoming music video even as she was being given the boot; crooner Phillip Lomax, the 22-year-old who was saddled with singing the outside-of-his-comfort-zone “I’m a Believer” on the episode by his mentor L.A. Reid; and brother duo the Brewer Boys, who apologized to their mentor Paula Abdul (older brother Justin referred to her as “Ms. Paula”) for letting her down in their performance. That left 12 finalists who will go on in the competition:
