Sharon OsbourneSharon Osbourne has gone on the Atkins diet.

The outspoken redhead has decided to follow the low-carbohydrate eating plan - invented by Robert Atkins - in a bid to shift her excess pounds before she hits 60 on October 9. Speaking on her TV show The Talk Sharon, said, "I've struggled with my weight for years, and I wanted a diet plan that would ensure I'd look and feel great. After looking at other weight-loss plans, I realized that Atkins is the best plan for me because my body - like many women my age - doesn't process sugar and refined carbs well."

The diet is already working well for Sharon and she has lost over 10 pounds in just two weeks. "In just two weeks, I am already 11 pounds lighter!" she revealed. Sharon's overall goal is to lose 25 lbs and she has praised the diet as effective and healthy and great because it lets you eat "delicious foods."

Avril LavigneAvril Lavigne's wedding dress will be made up of ripped up gowns.

The "Sk8r Boi" singer - who is engaged to marry Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger - has already made plans for the outfit she will wear at her forthcoming nuptials, and may rip up a number of pieces and put them all back together.

"I have an idea of what I want. It might be something that I buy a few different dresses and rip them up and put them all together and dye them, or maybe I'll kind of do a collaboration with another designer," she said.

Avril is particularly enamored with her pear-shaped diamond engagement ring, and finds it goes with all outfits she is wearing: "I can't take it off. I sleep with it on. It goes with every outfit. Get engaged, it's the perfect accessory for every outfit. I did it. You should, too."

Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss at the MTV VMAsJust like plenty of movies and fashion trends these days, television shows are also constantly being recycled. MTV, for one, has decided that it's time to bring back the nineties fashion-centric House of Style - this time, however, it will be hosted by models Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls.

MTV announced the news at Thursday night's Video Music Awards, which both models attended to raise awareness of the upcoming program (in addition, of course, to their primary job of just looking stunning on the red carpet) “I can’t believe it," Smalls said. "I’m in shock as well,” Kloss added. “It’s unbelievable and such a huge honor. We have major shoes to fill.”

Cindy Crawford, Amber Valetta, Molly Sims and Rebecca Romijn were a few of the models who hosted the original show back in the day. “Both industries have changed quite a bit. So it’ll be interesting to see how we show that," Kloss said.

RihannaRihanna decided to cut her hair short on the spur of the moment.

The "Cockiness (Love It)" singer debuted short cropped locks at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) yesterday, and while she had been wanted to snip her hair for some time, had originally planned it for after the awards.

"We had been talking about going short for a little while now and actually planned to do it the following week, but I just felt like, why wait? Let's do it today. And Ri said the same thing. She was ready for her short hair again," Rihanna's long time hairstylist, Ursula Stephan, told Us Weekly.

Rihanna took home the biggest award of the night, Video of the Year, for her collaboration with Calvin Harris, "We Found Love," and on her way back to the seat was stopped by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who kissed her on the lips and gave her a hug.


Miley CyrusMiley Cyrus is annoyed everyone only wants to talk to her about her new hairstyle.

The 19-year-old pop star loves her fresh bleached blonde crop, but is irritated the only thing anyone wants to ask her about at the moment is her radical image overhaul from Disney princess to grungy rock chick. Speaking at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in Los Angeles last night, Miley told People, "It's so easy [to manage], you know. I love it. I feel really me and it's good. The only thing that's hard is it's the only thing people want to talk about. And it's like, 'Oh, I didn't recognize you!'"

Former Hannah Montana star Miley caused a stir at the VMAs when she arrived on the red carpet with her new locks styled in exactly the same way as "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" singer Pink's trademark quiff.

The teen idol sarcastically tweeted after the ceremony, "Woahh 2 girls have blonde short hair! The whole world should go in to panic mode. Redickkkk. (sic)"


Lady Gaga in fox furLady Gaga has been slammed by PETA, who claim she is heartless.

The animal rights group - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - have criticized the "Poker Face" hitmaker after she was spotted wearing a white fox fur scarf in Cologne, Germany on Wednesday. "The picture speaks for itself. PETA is considering passing the hat so that someone can buy her a heart," said Wendy Wegner, a spokesperson for the organization.

The scarf, which still had the animal's head attached, appeared to be from an Arctic White Fox, which is often electrocuted for its fur. At one time Gaga took a stand against wearing animal skin, stepping out in a jacket made from Kermit the Frog puppets, an ironic statement against the fur trade.

Gisele Bundchen for ESPRIT+ "Born to Die" singer Lana Del Rey covers British GQ in nothing more than jewelry. Dubbed Woman of the Year by the men's magazine, her editorial on the inside of the glossy is apparently just as risque.

+ David Sims photographed Gisele Bundchen for the latest ESPRIT campaign, which features Mrs. Brady in a cool, tailored suit coupled with tousled sex hair (because that's totally how everyone wears their locks to work).

+ Singer of the infectious "Call Me Maybe" hit, Carly Rae Jepsen, is expanding her empire by modeling for Wet Seal. To celebrate the union, the clothing store is giving shoppers a chance to win a shopping spree with Jepsen, as well as tickets to see her and Justin Bieber in concert.

+ Katie Holmes opens up to WWD about her fashion career, in which she claims that she's not afraid to fail (although anyone with a hefty divorce settlement from Tom Cruise would also probably not be too afraid to waste money).

Lady GagaLady Gaga has created a fibre optic wig inspired by the Disney Princesses.

The "Judas" singer - who is renowned for her love of eccentric stage outfits - worked on the special creation with her collaborators the Haus of Gaga for six months, and claims the hair piece was inspired by the idea of one of the animated characters at a dance music rave.

"Hi everyone, this is Gaga. So I wanted to show you one of the newest inventions from the Haus of Gaga - this is a hand-made wig by Frederic Aspiras. It's an innovation that myself and Tara and Frederick came up with, with my friend Chris and we've been working on it for six months. Over six months. And we are going to light it up for you so you can see. So the wig is made up of a mixture of real human hair and the finest fibre-optics in existence - they move and feel like real hair. It was handmade. The hair was inspired by taking a Disney Princess and putting her in a rave," she said in a video post on her blog (seen after the jump).

James Righton and Keira KnightleyKeira Knightley may have a "jeans and t-shirt" wedding.

The Anna Karenina actress - who is engaged to Klaxons musician James Righton - thinks it would be "pretty generous" if Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld offered to create a gown for her, but is not sure if it would be the right choice yet.

"Well, that would be pretty generous of him. He's an incredible designer. Would I say yes? To be honest, I'm working on another film straight after Anna Karenina, which finishes after Christmas. Then, maybe I'll start thinking about the dress and the guests and the venue. It really depends on what sort of wedding I decide to have - if I go with jeans and t-shirt options, then maybe it wouldn't be quite right. I haven't decided on anything yet."

Despite a fearsome reputation, Keira claims Karl is a "nice man" and enjoys likes the work she has done with Chanel as she is allowed to pout: "He really is such a nice man, when you're shooting with him, he just sits there holding your hand. Working on Chanel campaign is so different to working on a huge film with Chanel I'm told to pout all I want!"
