There are a couple of classic celebrity fashion trends that seem to never go out of style. In fact, these fashion trends are classic looks for just about anybody.

The first classic celebrity fashion trend is the black pencil skirt. There is no way that you can go wrong with a black pencil skirt. You can go for the professional look and pair it with a fitted blouse that you tuck in like Jessica Alba did. Or you can go a little bit sexier and pair it with a low-cut top like Lindsay Lohan did. A variation on this classic fashion trend is to choose a pencil skirt that has a really high waist, tuck in the shirt and put a wide belt around the waist. This is the most popular way celebrities are wearing this fashion trend now.

Another classic celebrity fashion trend is tweed trousers. Some people may think of tweed trousers for older woman, but that is not the case. Tweed trousers can be sophisticated but also add some style to a boring outfit. Celebrities such as Katie Holmes and Liv Tyler have been spotted a couple of times wearing tweed trousers, and they are not old. They make the pants look stylish yet put together. They key to wearing tweed trousers is to keep the look young. Make sure the trousers fit well and pair them with a stylish top or jacket. Add some funky jewelry to glam up the outfit.

Lastly, printed blouses are another classic celebrity fashion trend. The print on the blouse can be anything from floral to polka dots, like this one from Just Cavalli. The main thing to remember with this fashion trend is to only wear the print on the blouse and pair it with something simple on the bottom like black dress pants or jeans. Choose a feminine blouse that adds some charm to your outfit. Celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Vanessa Hudgens and Nicole Kidman are big supporters of printed blouses.

It appears that celebrities are still keeping the skinny jeans around. This is no passing fashion trend. Stars are still rocking out in their skinny jeans. I guess when you are a size 0, you can keep this fashion trend going and not worry about how you look. The newest trend with the skinny jeans are gray colored skinny jeans. So many celebrities have been now spotted wearing gray skinny jeans, usually with a white top. Jessica Alba was just photographed the other day in her gray skinny jeans paired with a white tee and yellow flats. The other color for skinny jeans that looks to be in fashion with celebrities is white. Now, white skinny jeans may be one of the hardest looks to pull off, but celebrities seem to be doing it just fine. The key is to find balance on the top. Get a pair of white skinny jeans, like these from Just Cavalli and pair them with a blousy top. Don't go with the tight top if you are going with the tight jeans. Instead, think about a flowy top paired with high heels. This is an easier look to pull of for the average girl.

Another trend in the jean department are the ripped and shredded jeans. Yes, these are back in style, especially with casually dressed celebrities. Katie Holmes, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, and Lindsay Lohan have all been spotted wearing ripped and shredded jeans within the past couple of weeks. Now, these ripped jeans can also be skinny jeans. They can be boot cut jeans or even flare legged jeans. The key to this fashion trend is basically that they look, ripped, worn, or shredded on the legs. And yes, if you have looked online for jeans or at any store, they make them this way and you don't have to do it yourself. This is definitely a casual look and is not made for going nicer places such as on dates or nights out on the town. Leave this look for casual shopping trips and runs to Starbucks.

It seems like the Los Angeles court system needs to get their act straightened out. Friday, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan stating that she was in violation of her probation. But by Monday, the court had recalled the warrant for Lohan. A quick hearing by Lohan's lawyer showed the courts that it was all a mistake and that Lindsay has been in compliance with her probation with the court. The reports stated that Lindsay had missed three alcohol education classes that she is required to attend. Apparently, the paparazzi was to blame for one of the missed classes and she was excused from the other two. The judge told Lindsay's lawyer to enroll her in a new alcohol and drug program so that they can avoid this in the future.

In Touch is reporting that The City's Whitney Port and Jay Lyon are broken up. A friend of Whitney's reveals that the couple just broke up this past week and that Whitney did it over the phone. This friend says that, "she was basically just not happy for a while and decided she really wanted to end it. Jay said they should talk things over, but it seems her mind is made up." The couple had previously decided to take a break and then later got back together but according to this source are completely done now.

Newlyweds Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen headed back to Giselle's native country of Brazil this past weekend. The couple celebrated Giselle's grandpa's 83rd birthday and visited with her family members. Giselle has also said that she is ready to have a family of her own (Brady has a son already with his ex, *Bridget Moynahan*). She says that she "wants a big family" and to have what her parents have, as they have been married 36 years.

Girls Next Door reality star, Holly Madison has broken up with her boyfriend, magician Criss Angel. The couple started dating quickly after Madison broke up with her longtime boyfriend and Playboy owner, Hugh Hefner last fall. Sources claim that she rushed into the relationship with Angel and was never completely over Hefner and how things went down. According to the source, Holly felt that her relationship with Criss Angel was not like she thought it was going to be. Maybe she should actually try dating a half-way decent looking guy next time.

Singer Jewel may be cut from Dancing With the Stars before the show even airs. She writes on her blog that she has tendonitis in her knee and may be forced to drop out of the show because of it. She also says that the doctor told her to not dance for the next couple of days while she takes medicine to get the swelling down. She is hoping that the medicine works and she can get back to dancing and having fun. I wonder who they will replace Jewel with, if she can't dance? They would most likely have to get someone who is not that popular, because the show starts soon and that would be very short notice.

Lindsay Lohan may be getting a new job and a new home soon. Fox News is reporting that Warren Beatty is offering Lindsay a role in his new movie, as long as she moves into one of his guest houses on his property. This way he can know that she is focused on the film and not on anything else. Lindsay has had problems on the sets of movies before, showing up late or being difficult to work with. Lindsay has not made a decision yet. So, Lindsay would be the dumbest person ever if she did not accept a role in a film by legendary Warren Beatty. My question is: why would he want Lindsay in the movie?

After welcoming a daughter less than a year ago, The Office's Angela Kinsey has decided to separate from her husband Warren Lieberstein. The couple has one daughter, Isabel, who was born last May, and they have been married for 8 years. Her rep tells US Magazine, "Angela and Warren are taking some time apart to ­figure out what is best for their relationship." The couple is still on friendly terms.

Taylor Swift, 19, is telling Rolling Stone just how innocent she is. She tells the magazine that she lives a pretty sheltered life. She has never had one drop of alcohol, never smoked a cigarette and still lives in her childhood room in her parents' house. She says she relates more to people like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, even though she is 3 years older than them. She also goes on to say that she will never be one of those people like Lindsay Lohan that are out all night partying and who rebel. Her idea of rebelling is driving in her car wherever she wants to go after being on a tour bus for 2 months. Whatever people may think about Taylor Swift, I'd rather have my teenage daughter look up to her and be "uncool" than idolize someone like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, actress Rachel Bilson and her boyfriend, actor Hayden Christensen got engaged. According to a friend of the couple, Hayden and Rachel got engaged back in December. No wedding date has been set yet. When asked by People if the couple was engaged, Rachel's rep commented, "I don't comment on my clients' personal lives."

Ankle boots are still all the rage this year with celebrities. They are being worn with dresses, skirts, jeans and trousers. You can find ankle boots all over the red carpet, and then go down to the hottest club in Hollywood and find them there too. The latest celebrities to follow the ankle boot craze are: Mischa Barton, Michelle Williams, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Rachel Bilson and Jessica Simpson. If you aren't that sure about wearing ankle boots like celebrities do, then opt for a black pair, like the ones from Calvin Klein, because wearing black will not call that much attention to them. You can still be in style with the celebrity fashion trend but just downplayed a little.

It appears that leopard print has not gone out of style with celebrities. It can be quite tricky wearing leopard print and getting it right, which may be why celebrities have stylists to help them. If you are shy about wearing leopard print, try just wearing a small piece of leopard print. Do what Keira Knightley did and wear a leopard print scarf with an outfit. Or try what Rachel Bilson wore and match a leopard print cardigan with jeans. For the daring person, you can try to pull a Claudia Schiffer and wear a dress that has leopard print all over it. Whatever style you choose, just remember to rock it out like a celebrity would.

If you decide that you want to wear ankle boots with your leopard print clothing, why not throw in another celebrity trend of statement *watches*? Try sporting an oversized watch on your wrist to fit in with this celebrity trend. Pictures have shown such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston, Kate Moss, Nicky Hilton and Sienna Miller sporting large, statement watches on their wrist. Choose one that is gold or silver and really add some jazz to your outfit.

So, now you have your next outfit planned out for your big event. Leopard print with ankle boots and an oversized watch. You will look just like a celebrity!

It appears that Jessica Biel wants to be just like her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. Biel visited a recording studio earlier this month and recorded a couple of tracks. Her rep stated that Jessica did "an amazing job." What is her rep supposed to say? That she really sucked at singing? Her rep is on her payroll! Jessica has sung before when she was a younger kid and preformed in musicals and plays. So, who knows, maybe she can really sing. Maybe her and Justin will put out a pop record together and become the king and queen of pop?

Carrie Underwood is the latest celebrity to be featured as a wax figure at Madam Tussauds in New York. When asked about her wax figure, Carrie stated, "Honestly, it looks so good, it's almost kind of creepy looking at myself." While at the unveiling of her wax figure, Underwood also answered questions about her feud with Jessica Simpson, who is dating Underwood's ex, Tony Romo. Underwood stated that there is absolutely no feud between her and Simpson, who she has only met once quite briefly, and Jessica "seemed really nice." I guess this is one celebrity feud we can put to rest.

For all you fans of Lindsay Lohan's character on the television show Ugly Betty, don't get too attached to her. Lohan has been cut from the six episodes of the series down to the four that she has already recorded. Among the rumors swirling in Hollywood is that America Ferrera, who is the star of Ugly Betty, and Lindsay Lohan were not getting along so well on the set. Supposedly, Ferrera was getting tired of Lohan thinking she was the star and acting like she was too good for everybody. If you remember, Lohan had the same issues when she filmed a couple of movies in the past. I guess her rehab didn't help her professional attitude.

Speaking of famous twins, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are denying reports that they used IVF to have their twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. While it's true that you don't necessarily have to go through IVF to give birth to multiples, everybody knows that your chances of having a multiple birth increase greatly with IVF. It's especially popular among wealthy couples. However, Brangelina adamantly deny those reports and even go on to say that if they had undergone IVF that they would most certainly be open about it.

Pete Wentz is preparing for fatherhood by reading up on parenting books and watching movies like Look Who's Talking and Look Who's Talking Too. It seems that Pete Wentz's own dad is getting in on the preparation and offering fatherly advice to Pete by telling him that when it comes to your children it's best to not have any expectations.

Rumor has it that Lindsay Lohan and hat-loving gal pal Samantha Ronson may tie the knot later this year. Of course, their pending nuptials would come at about the same time that Lindsay's new album drops... but that wouldn't have anything to do with it, now would it? Lindsay's mom, Dina Lohan, is said to be gearing up to throw Lindsay and Samantha a huge wedding reception. Maybe she's hoping to include it in her new reality TV show, Living Lohan?

And finally, some sad news - Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The 36-year-old actress has a history of breast cancer in her family, but the good news is that doctors did catch it early. She should hopefully be just fine after completing treatment.

Celebrities don't always make wise decisions in the shoe department. I mean, have you seen some of the shoes they wear? Stiletto heels that are 6 inches high or platform shoes that look like you may fall over in them. But sometimes they do get it right and start a fashion trend that is actually comfortable. Take for instance boots and ballet flats.

Before you know it, Fall will be here and one staple that you should have in your wardrobe, if you want to look like a celebrity, is a pair of boots. So many celebrities have been seen wearing boots even in the summer. Now, I am not saying to go out in the scorching hot summer and pair shorts with boots like Hilary Duff did, but why not start your shopping early for fall and stay on trend with celebrities? There are tons of different styles of boots, from ankle boots to knee-high ones. There are plain boots, moccasin boots and even cowboy boots. Celebrities seem to love Marc Jacobs and his shoes. Well, Marc Jacobs makes an amazing pair of boots, and the celebrities would approve of them, as Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton all have been seen wearing boots by Marc Jacobs.

Another big trend with shoes among celebrities is still the classic ballet flats. Ballet flats can be worn in spring, summer and even into the fall. You can even wear dark colored ballet flats into winter as long as you are not walking through five feet of snow. They are basically a shoe for all seasons. Such celebrities such as Blake Lively, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Naomi Watts, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan all wear ballet flats around town. For once celebrities actually got it right, since ballet flats are such a comfortable shoe. You can wear them in a variety of colors and designs. Some have adornments on them and others are just plain. One of the most popular flats is by Elie Tahari. They come in so many different colors and styles that you are sure to find one that suits your outfit and style.

Hollywood party girl Lindsay Lohan was involved in yet another accident after partying hard one night in her dancing shoes. The good thing is that this time it actually wasn't even Lindsay's fault. The story goes that Lindsay was sideswiped by a motorcycle as she exited a club late one night. Although Lindsay was taken to the emergency room as a precaution, she was treated by medical staff and released shortly after. So no worries - Lindsay can now go back to not commenting on her relationship with Samantha "Is she really more than just a friend?" Ronson.

There may be something standing in the way of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel 's fairy-tale happy ending - her future mother-in-law. It seems that Justin Timberlake's mother, Lynn, hasn't taken too well to Jessica Biel. Or rather, Justin's mother hasn't taken too well to Jessica telling Justin that he needs to be less of a mama's boy and more of an adult man. In fact, the problem has gotten to the point where Justin is seriously hesitating about whether or not he should ask Jessica to marry him simply because he doesn't want to do anything to upset his mother. All this despite the fact that he's already been engagement ring shopping. Gee, I guess being a celebrity doesn't save you from having a mother-in-law from hell.

And speaking of parents who still control their adult children - it looks like Britney Spears ' dad, Jamie Spears, will remain in control of Britney until at least the end of the year. Whatever he's been doing sure seems to be working though. Britney is slowly cleaning up her image and looks to be poised to make a big comeback soon.

According to Perez Hilton, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have officially ended their relationship. Um, didn't they like just start dating? That sure was fast! Not only did Kate end things rather quickly with Lance, but it seems she's already moved on to her next victim. Yup, love 'em and leave 'em Kate Hudson was reportedly seen shacking up with an ex-boyfriend of hers almost immediately after breaking up with Lance.

Who wears short shorts? Celebrities do, that's who. So many celebrities have been seen walking around this summer in short shorts. I guess if they have the body, which they do, why not show it off? There are a couple different trends for the shorts among them.

People like Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, and Nicky Hilton have sported the frayed look for their short shorts. To get this look, all you have to do is cut a pair of your jeans into tiny little shorts and wash in the washing machine and they will come out with the fray on the bottom of them. Pair your frayed short shorts with a tunic or sleeveless tank and you are all set. And then you too can look like a celebrity.

Another trend with the short shorts with celebrities are the cuffed shorts. Stars such as Hayden Panettiere, Audrina Patridge, Mariah Carey, and Lindsay Lohan have all sported cuffed short shorts. But beware! Some of the shorts these celebs have been wearing cost $160 and much more. A little much for a pair of barely there shorts, right?

Dressing like a celebrity does not have to cost as much as you think it would. You can get a pair of 575 Denim shorts for just $117!

A couple of celebrities have come out with clothing lines and accessories that can fit into most people's budgets, and they even wear the clothing themselves. Amanda Bynes has released a clothing line for a store called Steve and Barry's, in which nothing is over $30. Amanda was seen wearing one of her blue strapless dresses from her own line. The dress only retails for $11. Another celebrity that has come out with affordable fashion is Tori Spelling. She sells affordable jewelry on the Home Shopping Network. She comes up with inexpensive costume jewelry that she also wears herself. So, who says that you have to break the bank to look like a celebrity, instead just buy the celebrities' fashions that they sell.

It looks like Madonna will have a special guest joining her when she goes on tour later this year! And you know when Madonna does something, she does it in a big way. So it's not surprise that it will be Britney Spears joining Madonna. Yes, that Britney Spears. Should we expect more lip locks like the one at the MTV Music Awards back in 2003 or not? We'll just have to wait and see what kind of tricks Madonna has up her sleeve this time.

And is Nicole Richie back to her hard partying ways even though she is a new mother now? TMZ reports that Nicole was booted from the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas for rowdiness and fighting with another female. Sheesh, whatever happened to turning over a new leaf?

It's only been five months since Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins Max and Emme, but she's already done the requisite celebrity bikini shot that new mothers in Hollywood do to prove that they're still desirable and in excellent shape. Jennifer was spotted wearing a string bikini while on a luxury yacht in Italy.

Nick Cannon is denying the rumors that his marriage to Mariah Carey is on shaky ground. In fact, he's even said that marriage is the best thing that's every happened to him. I don't know - I'd give this one at least till the end of the year before Nick considers running for the hills from Mariah's diva ways.

Andrew Firestone, heir to the Firestone fortune, tied the knot with girlfriend Ivana Bozilovic last weekend. Andrew was a former contestant on The Bachelor and picked Jen Schefft as the winner and even proposed marriage to her. However, the engagement didn't work out (as they rarely do on The Bachelor).

And finally, Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 22nd birthday this past week (yes, she's only 22!) and it looks like she might have finally admitted to being in a relationship with rumored girlfriend, Samantha Ronson. She said she wanted to continue on the path that she's on with the person that she cares about. The two later partied it up at Disneyland and Teddy's Nightclub.

The MTV Awards are always full of unique fashions. You can expect people wearing tennis shoes, mini-dresses, jeans and even jogging pants. The MTV Movie Awards aired on Sunday, June 1, 2008, and there were plenty of unique and interesting outfits.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the red carpet. Sarah Jessica Parker actually got it right this time. No funny hat was in sight. She wore a black metallic mini-dress made by L'Wren Scott with a pair of white ankle boots. She looked like she fit in perfect with the MTV crowd.

Another one of my favorites was Liv Tyler. The color of her dress, was the perfect shade pink for her complexion. She looked wonderful in her pink strapless dress.

Although, she is not my favorite celebrity (if you want to call her that), but Paris Hilton actually looked good at the awards. She wore a white strapless dress that had black lace over the top and then going down the bottom of it. The dress was by Betsey Johnson. She looked well put together and more mature than in the past.

For some of my favorite men, I choose Will Smith. I loved his yellow sweater with the button-up striped shirt underneath it, along with the brown jacket over it. He kept it casual in jeans, but still well styled. Another man who looked great (it's not that hard for him to do) was Johnny Depp. He kept it simple in a pair of jeans with a black button short-sleeve shirt and a brown belt, but it definitely worked for him.

Now, let's talk about some of the celebrities that I thought definitely missed the fashion bus. *Jennifer Hudson*'s dress was way to tight and when you are wearing a white dress and it is that tight, it does not flatter her at all. Not to mention, that you saw half of her pink bra sticking out at the top and half of cleavage sticking out of her bra.

Another dress that I was not crazy about was Lindsay Lohan 's purple Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress with the black belt. It just looked a little sloppy and did nothing for her. I thought that *Anne Hathaway*'s leather mini-dress just did not suit her. To me it looked like a wrinkled up garbage bag that had been made into a dress. Although, I loved her hair!

Lastly, thank goodness that Megan Fox changed her dress once she got inside the awards, because the pink Zac Posen dress that she wore on the red carpet was not a good choice. It almost looked like she was going to a high school dance. I did like the white mini-dress that she sported inside the awards.... much better Megan, much better.

Although, I did not particularly like her outfit, Ellen Page did keep it real for the awards. She wore a black leather jacket with a white shirt and black skinny jeans tucked into Nike tennis shoes. The Nike shoes were actually pretty cute with black plaid on the sides. If this is her style, then I am glad she went for it. Why try to be something you are not, right? As least not yet.

You can see pictures of the celebrities from the red carpet on MTV.com.

Ashlee Simpson is turning out to be more a traditionalist that I'd originally pegged her for. She just announced that she has taken her new husband's, Pete Wentz, last name and will officially change her name to Ashlee Wentz. As far as Ashlee's professional name (yeah, try saying that with a straight face) she will be adding the Wentz name to it as well, which will make her Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. Well, at least until the couple announces that they're divorcing due to irreconcilable differences (i.e. Joe Simpson). I mean, really, do you expect this Simpson marriage to end any differently that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's short-lived marriage. All Joe Simpson needs to do now is sign Ashlee Simpson up for another MTV reality show!

Lindsay Lohan has long been plagued with rumors that she and her BFF, Samantha Ronson, are more than just friends. And recent photos of the duo are only adding fuel to the fire. The paparazzi have snapped Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson shopping, traveling and hanging out, which are all very normal friend activities. It's a little harder to explain the pic of the two girls kissing though. And why is Lindsay wearing a ring with Samantha Ronson's initials on it? That's not a normal best friend ritual either!

Lindsay's parents seem divided on the whole "Is our daughter really a lesbian?" issue. Dina Lohan has denied the allegations and insists that the two are just close friends. Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, on the other hand went as far as saying that it's obvious what Lindsay and Samantha are - and then promptly took his statement back.

Jamie Lynn Spears and fiance, Casey Aldridge, celebrated Memorial Day like any other barefoot and pregnant teenage couple in America did -- by shopping at Wal-Mart. The couple emerged from their Wal-Mart shopping spree with a cartful of purchases including several cases of... soda. See, celebrities really are just like us!

And what about Jamie Lynn's older sis, Britney Spears ? Well rumor has it that Britney has a new boyfriend. In all of the hoopla over Britney Spears hanging out with new pal, Mel Gibson, it seems that people overlooked just who it was that was really by her side. So who is the new Britney Spears boy-toy? Well, none other than her agent, Jason Trawick. Hmm, I wonder if Britney ran this by her father first - since he seems to be controlling most of her life these days. The good thing is that Britney is looking better and better. We can only hope that she's finally on the right track again.

And finally some really good news - Scarlett Johansson will definitely not be hitting the road to promote her album. Thank God! Scarlett's debut album was panned by music critics, but Scarlett claims that she never really wanted a music career. Then why record the album, right? Well, it seems that the only reason she agreed to record the album was because it was an opportunity that her struggling musician friend who have spent years trying to break
