Ke$ha Won’t Be Killing Animals

Ke$ha is creating her own faux fur fashion line.

The cutie pie entertainer says she has nothing against celebrities like Lady Gaga or Jennifer Lopez who wear real fur, but she would never wear it herself and thought it was a "no-brainer" to start her own collection.



Ke$ha told The Sun newspaper: "I don't condemn people for their choices but my own personal choice is that if prefer to wear fake fur. I'm actually working on my own fake fur line. There are so many options that are very real-feeling and looking that aren't harming the animal, so it's a no-brainer for me."



The animal lover - who cries when she hits the road and has to say goodbye to her cat Mr Peep$ - is proud to have been named the Humane Society International's first ever Global Ambassador and has vowed to continue to support animal rights with her fashion choices.

She enthused: "It meant so, so much as I've always loved animals since I was little. I just feel super connected to them. The most enlightening thing I can do is be around animals. I just love them, my heart melts."

The Wizard Of Oz Dress Sold For Big Bucks!

The dress worn by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' has sold for $480,000 at auction.

The iconic blue and white gingham garment fetched the highest price of any item during a two-day auction of Hollywood memorabilia in Beverly Hills, California, over the weekend.

The buyer of the dress is unknown.

Other highlights of the sale, which was organized by auction house Julien's Auctions, included Steve McQueen's racing jacket and a purple skirt won by Marilyn Monroe while filming 'River of No Return' in Canada, with both garments fetching $50,000.



Julie Andrews' green floral 'Sound of Music' dress went for $38, 400, sunglasses worn by Jean Reno fetched $8,320 and another buyer paid $3,250 for Johnny Depp's shades.

Despite the huge sum paid for Judy's dress, it is dwarfed by one for $910,000 -- a similar garment worn during tests for the 1939 film sold for in 2011.

However, auctioneer Darren Julien said the difference reflected the fact fewer versions of the test dress were made.

The dress was made by the famous MGM costume designer Adrian Greenberg.

British Designer of the Year

Stella McCartney was named British Designer of the Year at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards last night .

The 41-year-old designer picked up the coveted award at the glittering reception held at London's Claridge's Hotel and was rewarded for her services to fashion.

Stella admitted she struggles to juggle being a mother-of-four with her designer duties, but hopes to prove to women everywhere they can succeed in the industry.

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "Honestly, it's not easy and it's silly to pretend that it is... I lose it sometimes. If I've had four hours' sleep because I was at something late and up early with the kids, then I am not a particularly good mom and not a particularly good colleague at work."



Stella's signature style, which mixes sportswear influences with tailored vintage-style pieces, has been growing in popularity in recent years.

As well as designing Team GB's sportswear for the London 2012 Olympics, she has launched her own perfume, designed a range of sunglasses and created a clothing line for Adidas.

She said her Olympics role was one of her biggest challenges, admitting: "I did get very involved, mentally as well as physically, and got emotionally drained. So much work went into it, more than I can imagine now."

Christian Dior's new creative director Raf Simons was rewarded for his impressive debut collection at Spring/Summer 13 Paris Fashion Week by scoring the Man in a Woman's World gong.

The Inspiration of the Year award went to Vivienne Westwood, while Anya Hindmarch was named the Businesswoman of the Year.

Some of fashion's biggest stars including male supermodel David Gandy, Daisy Lowe and designer L'Wren Scott were in attendance at the glamorous bash.
