Apparently Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo couldn't stay away from each other for very long. The couple, who just recently broke up this summer, have already reunited and are back together. They had been together for three years, shortly after Nick divorced Jessica Simpson. The couple has been seen spotted at several places together and was spotted flying together at JFK airport. According to a close friend though, the couple is not back together officially and is just "hanging out."

In other Jessica Simpson exe news, her latest ex, Tony Romo is dating actor *Chace Crawford*'s little sister. Romo just broke up with Simpson in July on the day before her 29th birthday but seems to be completely fine with the whole thing. Some people are comparing Candice Crawford, 22, to Jessica, as a younger and skinnier version of the singer. According to an inside source, Candice, who was Miss Missouri 2008, was "not happy" that her and Tony's relationship got out to the public, but "they were not trying to hide it."

In other celebrity hookup news, it appears that Candice Crawford is not the only girl to snag herself an athlete. Reality star Khloe Kardashian is now dating Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom. Khloe's sister, Kim Kardashian told PEOPLE, "They're very, very happy." She added, "They've been together a few weeks, and are literally inseparable. Khloe thinks he's amazing and makes her laugh and smile constantly." The couple has been spotted out and about hitting the LA clubs this past week. It is also being said that Kim is back with her athlete man, NFL player Reggie Bush, after a short breakup.

Another celebrity who seems to have a new partner (although he is not an athlete) is Shia LaBeouf. The Transformers actor has been seen cuddling and kissing with his on screen co-star Carey Mulligan. The two are currently filming the sequel to Wall Street, called Money Never Sleeps in New York City. There has been no confirmation from a rep on the relationship, but from the pictures of them getting friendly off set, there seems to be more than just a professional relationship between the two of them.

Kim Kardashian and Carrie Underwood may seem like night and day at first glance. Kim Kardashian exemplifies busy city style while Carrie Underwood still has a bit of charming country in her step. Both women are chameleons with color, and have the ability to make any hue work.

Kim Kardashian: Splashes of Blue
There probably isn't a color that would not look stunning on city slicker Kim Kardashian. She can wear all pink, black and white, purple, gray, red, yellow and sometimes green. She frequently wears splashes of blue, from bright blue tops to blue skirts. She knows how to pair a longer top with leggings or skinny jeans, top it with a jacket, and the right big bag and high heels.

Even in a pair of blue jeans, Kim Kardashian knows that fully-done big hair and impeccable make up area part of her signature style.

Kim's Silhouettes
Kim's fashion silhouette ranges from wearing a longer top, drawing attention down from her womanly hips and bottom to her legs. The other common silhouette she adores is one which cinches her waist and emphasizes her hourglass figure.

Carrie Underwood: Romance in the Country
For a softer look, turn the other cheek to Carrie Underwood. No matter how big Carrie Underwood's star grows, she still beams that innocent and sweet smile, and will always be a country girl at heart. She looks like she is floating in romantic hues and textures.

A pair of brown slip-on heels will carry Underwood through her days of pink and champagne hues, or a day spent in her jeans. Similar to Kardashian, Underwood can pull off nearly any color, from deep purples and bright blues to orange, pink and black. She also works her hair as a fashion accessory, pulling off a big bangs look, a side swept low ponytail, or big sexy hair, all with aplomb.

Ancient Egyptian and Greek scriptures have depicted women in water scenes wearing short cotton skirts that were waisted below the bust and held up by two straps that mark the earliest versions of the modern monokini. However, European designer, Rudi Gernreich, holds the title for designing the first monokini in 1964. A cross between a one-piece swimsuit and a two-piece, the design consisted of a bikini bottom with straps that ran over the shoulders. He also is responsible for naming the garment and was recorded in the English language that same year. The term monokini, refers to a bikini bottom held in place by two straps which, at least partially, cover the breasts. His vision to create a garment with minimal construction and detailing to maintain focus on the body itself received mixed reviews during the conservative times. In the face of the critics, the monokini was a highly purchased item for shoppers that summer, selling over $3,000 in the suits. Although not very successful in the US, it was a great hit in Europe by the early 1970's.

After its first season, the monokini grew quickly out of style, nonetheless, the exposing suit began a new era in swimsuit design. Designers soon began experimenting with strategic cutouts and mesh coverage in swimwear design. For the Sports Illustrated cover in 2000, Laetitia Casta was photographed in a vintage 1967 Gernreich monokini, reviving interest in the swimsuit. Today, the monokini is the hottest summer trend in swimsuit since its debut. Popular designs are cut-out one-piece swimsuits with designers using fabric, mesh, chain, and straps to bond the top and bottom sections together, like Dolce & Gabbana's Monokini with Metal Ring & Gold Lurex Piping. Celebrities including Paris Hilton and Eva Longoria Parker, have been photographed in stylish monokini designs, only growing the popularity of this up to the moment trend.

Classic not Trendy
In this economy it's important to spend wisely on some classic and solid pieces which will not look dated in the months and years to come.

Bold Print Leggings for Plain Black Leggings
Show off your gams, and you favorite pair of shoes with boldly-patterned tights. A long top in a color matching the tights, paired with black shoes, and a pair of black nylon knee highs will complete your look.

Polished not Bedhead
For corporate days and fancy nights, pull your hair off your face a into neat ponytail. No longer just for bad hair days, a tightly drawn up-do, with all fly-aways smoothed down is a more serious look than tousled hair for this fall.

Covered Necks, Not Bare
Turtlenecks are a wardrobe staple in the cooler months, but they are not just for jeans and sneaker days. Wear a turtleneck with a long, ankle-length skirt, in the same color, a pair of white or glittery tights and pop on a comfortable pair of Two Lips Parker shoes.

Tiny Prints for the Rest
While bold prints are acceptable for two-tone outfits, fashionistas with a romantic flair will embrace the tiny prints making their way onto everything from striped pajama's to floral intimates, scarves, dresses and cardigans. Look for tiny flower prints of white and light blue on dark blue, or any white and blue striped top.

Subtle patterns and faded colors dominate this look, and it's okay to mix and match your patterns in the same color palette.

Goodbye Peep Toe
For casual wear, cover up those peeping toes and painted nails and wear a pair of bright blue or plum low heels.

Hello Cut Out, Hello Layers
The cut out clothing trend is perfectly acceptable for day wear or casual wear, as long as you remember that this time around, there should be a contrasting layer of fabric beneath. Pair a bright white shirt with a black cut out top for a bold effect.

Two fashion icons to learn from in the fall season are Amanda Seyfried and Mischa Barton. Look to Amanda Seyfried for muted palettes, and round out the style with darker, vintage edges like Mishca Barton wears.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried has a secret. She's not the wide-eyed airhead from Mean Girls. She is a beautiful, wide-eyed and modern Alice in Wonderland, with an eye for sharp fashion. Soft colors and textures enhance her look, and she looks at home with touches of school-girl fashion in her ensembles.

Known for Mean Girls and Mama Mia! expect to see more of innocent beauty Amanda Seyfried in upcoming movies Jennifer's Body, Dear John, Letters to Juliet and A Woman of No Importance.

Start any Amanda Seyfried look with a pair of lace-up shoes. Try peep-toes or a pair of lace ups with chunky heels, and a posh metallic shine. A pair of gray, beige and barely-there pink plaid shorts with an attached fabric robe style belt with a beige, over-sized cardigan. Add a matching hat and bag, white t-shirt and a pair of white tights. Add long strands of gold chains or a pink pearl necklace. Shades of white, petal pink, gold, as well as soft tiny patterns are all at home in Amanda Seyfried's wardrobe.

Mischa Barton
Ageless beauty Mishca Barton, who has a look and air of sophistication and a worldly, almost ancient knowledge about her, has looks in stark contrast with doe-eyed Amanda Seyfried. Her look is more eclectic, with more black and more contrast. Mischa can pair a flowing and chiffon sky blue with black boots.

Mischa Barton returns to TV, proving there is life after The O.C. Mischa Barton stars in The Beautiful Life, as a model. The show is produced by former model Ashton Kutcher. Mischa Barton's own style, she claims is eclectic and she has a habit of shopping vintage. Adding vintage boots to a modern outfit elevates your fashion style to runway status.

It's almost time for two highly-anticipated fall events: a new season of Gossip Girl, and a new school year to wear your favorite fashions. What happens when you mashup styles worn by a true bad girl, Georgina Sparks and the Queen Bee who looks innocent but is really the fierce strike of lightening hiding in the storm clouds?

Queen Bee Blair Waldorf
Leighton Meester is a true picture of a good school girl, in her plaid. Blair Waldorf loves her tartan coats and plaid skirts. She completes further creates the illusion of being the good schoolgirl with her colorful and youthful tights. Always feminine in a skirt or dress, Blair Waldorf is the true Queen Bee, with a sting.

She further softens her look with girlish embellishments on her clothing, including puffy sleeves or long sailor collars. She adds contrasting color bows to shirts and adorns her perfect coif with headbands. Sometimes she reveals her power as the Queen Bee and wears power red, but she does it with style and modesty, with a pair of red tights or cropped jacket.

Really Bad Girl Georgina Sparks
If Queen Bee Blair Waldorf is the wolf in sheep's clothing then Georgina Sparks, as portrayed by Gossip Girl guest star Michelle Trachtenberg is a wolf all the way. Not afraid to wear bold black peep toe boots with buckles or a pair of painted on pants, Georgina Sparks embraces her dark side through fashion.

You won't catch Georgina Sparks in plaids or skirts, her style needs to wear the pants, to let everyone know who's boss. Think about Olivia Newton-John in Grease. What did she do when she wanted to be taken seriously? She traded in her layered skirt for a pair of liquid black pants, similar to those worn by Georgina Sparks.

Play the Queen Bee, and dress the part of the good girl, keeping your gossipy stinger hidden, or show the world your more jaded side, with a touch of bad girl style from Georgina Sparks' wardrobe.

Sporty and fashion-forward Gwen Stefani and classic fashion experimenter Gwyneth Paltrow offer women two distinctive fashion models to emulate. Both Gwen and Gwyneth are fashion risk-takers, and their personal choices pay off for them, on the red carpet, or while enjoying casual family time.

Breaking the Rules
Gwen and Gwyneth can break the rules and wear bone white shoes anytime of the year. Both of these fashion icons could wear the same shoes and build an outfit around them that would be uniquely their own. Gwen Stefani could choose her favorite black and white combination, or a patriotic red, white and blue outfit. She's also known to go glam, and these shoes would add the right amount of Hollywood femininity to her harder-edged outfits.

Travel in Style
You know Gwen Stefani isn't trying to shove all her make up and accessories in some boring purse or overnight bag, so why should you? You don't have to be a rock star to appreciate a cute rocking Hurley Top Forty Make Up/Train Case to store your overnight accessories, ideal for a sleepover or weekend getaway.

Gwyneth Rocks the Dress
Nobody rocks dresses with more elegance and class than Gwyneth Paltrow. Even when she pushes the fashion envelope, in a white dress with black lacy trim resembling lingerie, or opts for an electric blue and silver number, she always looks completely confident and happening.

Staples for Gwen and Gwyneth
Both women are equally comfortable-looking and chic in leather coats or cozy cardigans. These fashionable moms layer their cardigans with dresses or casual wear when taking their little ones out and about. They both also know how to jazz up an outfit with one bright color piece, from a bag to a pair of boots.

Rock your own wardrobe staples, like Gwen and Gwyneth.

Before you know it, fall will be upon us, so I figured we should start looking at some of the fall runway fashion trends. For the fall 2009 season it appears that there is no shortage of prints for clothing and accessories. We are talking about just about every print imaginable for fall clothing.

The fall runways consisted of geometric, plaid, floral, paisley, and animal prints. This fall season should be anything but boring when it comes to your clothing. Everything from shoes to blouses can have some sort of print or pattern on them. Now, this doesn't mean that you would wear a plaid shirt with a floral skirt, but the runways did see prints intermixed and used together in the same outfit. If you do choose to mix prints, remember to keep one piece of the outfit a subtle print that is almost like a neutral and the other piece could be a louder print, giving the outfit a flare.

Some people avoid printed and patterned clothes like the plague, but that does not have to be the case. It is possible to wear a print and for it to be flattering on you. There are plenty of clothing pieces for the fall that are white and black printed or brown and cream printed. If you want to be more subtle in your clothing and flatter your figure, you can easily stick to these more neutral and less loud prints. They draw less attention to your body, which many women tend to want to do.

Printed clothing can also be flattering in that it can draw the eye away from trouble spots on your body. If you don't your stomach, you can easily use a print to draw attention away from your stomach and to a feature that you do like such as your face or even your legs. The key to this is to find a dress or shirt that does not have a print around the stomach area but has some sort of print or design at the neckline or the bottom of the dress. This draws a person's attention away from your stomach to the areas where the pattern is.

If you are interested in following the runway fashion trends, then you definitely want to add printed blouses, shoes, dresses, skirts and even handbags to your fall collection.

Yes, that's a play on the title of a new movie, because we are not here to bad mouth Katie Holmes or Katherine Heigl. They are both fashionably impeccable and impossible not to admire.

Katie Holmes: She's Got Legs

Katie Homes' much-anticipated performance on "So You Think You Can Dance" was more Catherine Zeta Jones than Judy Garland, yet people are pleased. The outfit didn't hurt, as Katie showed off her dancing legs by wearing a silky black shirt coat that covered her bottom, black nylons, high heels and a masculine hat.

When Katie performs, her outfits are saucy and sultry, unlike the more subdued sexiness of Katherine Heigl, who can play hers down and still be steaming.

Katherine Heigl in The Ugly Truth

Neutral Zone
For her work attire as a morning show producer, Katherine Heigl opts for neutral colors with hints of preppy perkiness. As a smart woman, she knows that a long day in heels can make for unhappy dancing feet, so she slides on professional flats. They could use a little more shine, to match her simple jewelry, and these Rockport Azah flats would pair well with her butter yellow cardigan, gray top and black skirt.

Casual and Boyish
Has anyone ever looked more uncomfortable in casual attire than Katherine Heigl did in the stadium scene? Granted, it wasn't the clothing that was at issue, it was the situation. She stuck with her normal color scheme of tan and dark, neutral new-looking dark blue jeans.

Her tan sweatshirt with a blue stripe had a schoolboy appeal, with a sporty look and silver snaps. It was anything but sophisticated, and looked like she was trying to hard to dress the part, just as she was trying to change her demeanor from her normal self.

Out on the Town
While on the town, Katherine Heigl's character opts for bright colors, tight-fitting dresses and bares all of her back. Katie and Katherine are both sexy and fashionable, in their own appropriate ways.

Not only did Janet Jackson lose her brother Michael, but US Weekly is reporting that her and her fiancé Jermaine Dupri have called it quits as well. An inside source told the magazine, "His friends are telling people it's over." Another source echoed that saying, "They have been moving in different directions for a while." Apparently mixing business with pleasure is what hurt the couple the most. A friend of the couple said, "Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things separate." Another reason for the long time couple's break up was that they were just too opposite of people. Janet is on the shy side, while Jermaine likes to be out with the crowds, talking and mingling with others. Currently Janet is busy helping to care for Michael's three kids, but is "devastated" at the breakup.

In other celebrity breakup news, professional football player Tony Romo has called off his relationship with Jessica Simpson. It appears that since breaking up with her ex-husband Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson is only getting her heart broken. First, John Mayer and now Tony Romo. Worst of all, Romo dumped Jessica the day before her 29th birthday. "Jessica was really blindsided," says a family friend. "She's sad, mad, and confused. Her emotions are all over the place." The couple started dating back in November 2007 and Jessica has said that she could picture herself marrying Tony. Poor Jessica, while her sister Ashlee enjoys marriage and her son, Jessica seems to not be able to get a break with guys. Maybe she should have realized what she had with her husband Nick Lachey. Could this karma coming back to haunt her?

On a happier note, G.I. Joe star Channing Tatum married his Step Up costar Jenna Dewan last week in Malibu. The pair wed in front off 220 guests which included bridesmaid Haylie Duff and her boyfriend Nick Zano. Their outdoor ceremony at a beachfront estate was followed by a sit-down reception in a tent on the same estate. The couple first met on the set of Step Up in 2006. Channing proposed last September in Maui. Here's hoping that this Hollywood couple can break the mold and stay together.

Emma Watson is a popular fashion icon, thanks to her continuing role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. It's no wonder girls and women are looking to Emma Watson for fashion inspiration, as she has truly blossomed into a beautiful and fashionable woman.

When you watch Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe on screen, do you remember the two young actors from the first movie and how young and sweet they both were? They've both grown up since then, and so have their styles and their fan base.

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe: Style Magic
Neither Emma Watson or Daniel Radcliffe is going to take fashion only half-way. They are going to go full bore, just as we expect them to in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Smart in Stripes
Daniel Radcliffe, as Harry Potter, shows us that you can look smart in a striped sweater. The beauty of the striped sweater is that Harry's dear friend Hermione could borrow that sweater and pair it with a pleated skirt, and make it look even smarter. Isn't that just like Hermione?

She's also smart about footwear, as she knows at a moment's notice she can be off running through the drafty castle. A pair of warm, supportive shoes are a must for the busy student.

Feminine Frock
Although she could wear an otherwise masculine knit. Emma Watson does feminine well. At home in a 1940s Retro style flower print dress, complete with high collar and short sleeves, she's stunning.

Daniel Radcliffe: Edge of Fashion
Daniel Radcliffe sticks with simple, classic styles to bring out his best features. He understands the importance of crisp, dress up shirts, sans tie, paired with straight black jeans and the most stylish Oxfords or loafers available.

A snug t-shirt with a pair of loose fitting jeans are also a classic look for the young Daniel Radcliffe. No matter what the pair of these stars wears, it feels like magic.

It's impossible to mention Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett without considering their contributions to fashion. Farrah's casual yet hip look from her Charlie's Angels days, and Michael's clothes adorned with crystals are back in vogue. Where Farrah Fawcett's style is soft, with beige and shell hues and soft edges, Michael's was about contrast, flash and edginess.

Casual Elegance of Farrah Fawcett: The Beauty
Farrah Fawcett's natural beauty was enhanced by her understated and softly colored wardrobe. She could make any white or light color look like gold. A pair of casual, off-white pants with a pair of platform heels and collared shirt were all she needed for a day or night on the town.

Farrah Fawcett looked just as beautiful and elegant in a pair of jeans, a red blouse and a pair of Nike roller skates. No matter what she wore, her accessories were minimal, and she let her movie star smile and fabulous hair accessorize her look. Highlight your best feature every day, or go pop star style and accessorize your wardrobe like a star, similar to Michael Jackson.

Borrowing from Michael Jackson: The Beat
The popularity of the Swarovski crystal has not waned since Michael Jackson first came into his own, wearing that infamous red leather coat. It is more popular today than ever before, and can be found on boots, hair accessories, shirts and jackets. Wearing an ornate necklace is one way to add extravagant shine to your wardrobe, and get noticed, pop star style.

He wore black and white frequently, in a way that has been emulated frequently by pop star Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani often sports black and white, striped or not, or black and red stripes. Contrast is key for pop star style, and when you want everyone to notice you walk to your own beat.

The goth and hip style of Kristen Stewart's Bella in Twilight could benefit from a feminine touch, as much as Alicia Silverstone's Cher in Clueless could use a little more brooding in her wardrobe. Combine the feminine innocence of Cher's fashion with the darker and more androgynous look of Bella for a stylish celebrity fashion mash-up.

White Meet Black
A classic look from the movie Clueless that still intrigues girls today are white knee-high socks and above-the-knee socks. In Cher's day, way back in 1995, the white knee socks were worn with a happy yellow plaid skirt.

Where Cher's shoes were shiny, patent leather, Kristen Stewart in Twilight is more apt to don a pair of Chucks or Doc Martens. Combine the look of white patent leather and the edge of a black sole with black laces and you have these celebrity mash-up boots by Timberland.

Accessory Lessons
Kristen Stewart can take accessory lessons from Alicia Silverstone's Cher. Whether it's a color-coordinated phone, a wide headband or the perfect dangling earrings, Cher was always dressed from head to feet. Spruce up your own Kristen Stewart-inspired outfit with a black beret, totally Cher, but ideal for Twilight weather.

Distressed Polish
Continue the polished meets distressed look. Combine a tailored blouse with a thin, high belt and a pair of distressed and torn jeans. Wear a pair of open-toed ankle boots in metallic or silver for a more innocent look, or be brash and wear black booties.

Plaids
One crossover element in both of these character's wardrobes is plaid. For a clean, preppy look opt for white with black stripes, or a yellow or pink fabric with black or chocolate brown stripes. For the more Twilight look, a red or gray plaid works. Combine Twilight and Clueless styles by starting with a pastel-colored skort and combining it with black and gray clothing and accessories.

The red carpet couldn't be any hotter on May 19, when the Cannes Film Festival gala attracted hundreds of celebs and famous faces from around the globe.

From flowing Grecian gowns to gladiator-inspired wrap sandals, here are a few of the haute-est looks that really got the press talking:

Checkerboard Prints
Eugenia Silva showed off her legs in a gorgeous black and grey checkerboard inspired dress trimmed with rosettes and lace. The structured bodice and flowing skirt came together perfectly for the evening, and the sleeveless style was finished with an eye-catching, multi-row necklace.

Metallic Heels
This is the year to show off the silver and gold, and many-a celeb strutted their stuff in a pair of sci-fi inspired silver booties and gold sandals. Metallics in bronze and copper are also a big hit for spring and summer, so make sure your closet boasts at least one pair of gleaming heels so you can enjoy a celebrity-inspired moment.

Lilac Grecian Gowns
Actresses Devon Edwenna Aoki and Penelope Cruz were among the stars who flaunted the Grecian gowns for this event, and lilac and light purple were the colors of the night. This is a romantic and ultra-feminine ensemble that's perfect for weddings and special events this season.

Floral Dresses
Bold, floral designs made their way to the red carpet for the festival, replacing the usual monochrome looks that celebs are famous for. Flowers, frills and ribbons were perfect for the Spring gala; top color combos included purple, turquoise, light blue and pink.

Gladiator Sandals
Many celebs walked down the red carpet in stilettos and chunky heels designed with a gladiator-inspired style. Gladiator sandals are one of the season's hottest trends, and celebs pulled off the look with criss-cross ankle straps, metallic heels and peep toe pumps designed with thick leather straps for their Romanesque look.

From lilac-colored Grecian gowns to eye-catching metallic heels, the 2009 Cannes Film Festival boasted an array of the season's hottest trends. Pick out your favorite to complement your celebrity-inspired look this season.

Fashion designer and soon-to-be former star of The Hills, Lauren Conrad, aka L.C., has a sweet and fashion-forward style. Her wardrobe reflects her fit body, but does not reveal too much. L.C. is the good girl, who won't be caught on a Don't list. Mash up that good girl style of Lauren with the bad girl style of Gossip Girls' Georgina Sparks, as played by Michelle Trachtenberg.

Blue is the Summer Black
Both fictional Georgina Sparks and real life Lauren Conrad embrace blueberry blue. Blueberry blue is the new black, for summer months. Blue accessories including bright blue bangles as worn by Lauren or a fashionable blue scarf as worn by Georgina

Cami Dress and Black Booties
Combine a sweet Cami dress, a style which is flattering on and popular with Lauren, and it can be worn with a pair of bad girl Georgina Sparks peep toe booties with high heels. The black heels give the dress and edge. Add a long 1920's inspired necklace.

Rough Up the Dress
A sleeveless leather coat a la Georgina Sparks can be worn, long or cropped for more attitude, with classic Lauren Conrad separates. Combine a layered skirt that lands above the knees, with a body-hugging top. If the skirt does not have a pronounced waist, add a belt.

Bejeweled
Lauren Conrad often lets her outfit speak for itself, and does not layer her jewelry. Georgina Sparks, on the other hand knows the importance of making a strong statement with rings and things. Make a strong statement with a cobra or snake ring or arm bracelet, and wear it with a graphic t-shirt and pair of slinky jeans. Layer different styles and lengths of beaded necklaces.

Sugar and Spice
Sweeten a Georgina Sparks outfit with a touch of pink to an outfit of black or gray. Or start with a pink top and add black jeans and a gray scarf. Soften the outfit a bit more with some open-toed heels and a surprise of pink toenail polish.
