The singer - who is dating Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz - has teamed up with US store Wet Seal, which will sell the tops in conjunction with the release of her third album 'Bittersweet World'.

She said: "I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording 'Bittersweet World' and it's been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs. I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts!"

Earlier this week, it was revealed ageing rocker Rod Stewart had also
launched his own fashion range.

The supermodel - who has been dating The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince since last August - is believed to have got engaged during the couple's recent break in Amsterdam.

A beaming Kate reportedly emerged from a bar in the Dutch city and told fans: "I'm getting married!"

One onlooker added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The pair were in a bar looking very loved-up. Kate was so excited it looked like she had just accepted his proposal there and then. She was very happy.

"She came out giggling and seemed a little bit drunk. Lots of fans were taking her picture on their mobile phones. She told them she was getting married and when one girl asked her when, she said, 'Soon.'"

Friends of Kate - who has a five-year-daughter Lila from a previous relationship - are thrilled she is finally settling down, following her turbulent romance with drug addict Pete Doherty.

One said: "We're all so happy for Kate. Everyone was worried she would end up with Pete, who we thought was no good for her.

"We were convinced that, for some unknown reason, she saw him as the love of her life. Jamie looked like it could have been a bit of a rebound thing at first, but now it seems like it's the real deal."

Kate, 34, split from Babyshambles frontman Pete last June following claims he had cheated on her with a South African model. (music-news.com)

The 'Angels' singer has become a keen chef after taking private cooking lessons and wants to show off his culinary skills with a TV programme and accompanying book.

A source said: "He has an urge to host his own cookery show and bring out a book with it."

However, friends are not convinced the star's calorie-laden menu will offer enough variety for a whole series.

The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The problem is, Robbie isn't exactly the healthiest eater on the planet. Who needs lessons in how to cook burgers and fries? That's about all he's interested in."

It was recently reported Robbie and his actor friend Max Beesley are set to star on a celebrity version of hit UK show 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares'.

If the project goes ahead, the pair will work in a failing restaurant and attempt to turn things round under chef Gordon Ramsay's ever-watchful eye.

Max said: "There are plans for me and Robbie to work together. We might do a 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares' special. I'm a big foodie so I said I wouldn't mind one of Gordon's tongue-lashings."(music-news.com)

Amy Winehouse has vowed to quit drugs following the sudden death of singer Corinne Bailey Rae's husband.
The troubled 'Rehab' singer has been shocked into seeking help after her saxophonist friend Jason Rae - who was once a backing musician for Amy with his band The Haggis Horns - was discovered dead from a suspected drugs overdose on Saturday (22.03.08).

A friend told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Amy sacked Jason because he was so out of it and now it's her own life that has spun out of control.

"The scenario is no different. Amy takes the same substances with which Jason plied himself. She says she can't believe this happened and that she is still alive - and she can't let this be her future.

"She sees it as a wake-up call that she must stop."

Amy has been in and out of rehab over the past eight months. Her most recent stint was a two-week stay at London's Capio Nightingale Hospital earlier this year.

Yesterday (26.03.08), Amy visited husband Blake Fielder-Civil - who is incarcerated at London's Pentonville Prison awaiting trial on charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and perverting the course of justice - looking worryingly thin with nasty sores on her face and cuts on her arms.

Amy's spokesperson insists Amy is suffering from the bacterial skin

Hove Festival, Norway, returns for its second year from June 23rd to June 27th. Hove Festival is a relative newcomer to the European festival map, but is already competing respectably with the other two main Scandinavian festivals Hultsfred and Roskilde.
With over 15,000 visitors each day, Hove was already in its first year the biggest festival in Norway.

Last year’s debut could also boast a carbon neutral status –zero carbon emissions – and the festival takes its environmental responsibilities seriously, collaborating closely with environmental groups such as Bellona from the planning stages. Nature is a key word here, with its idyllic location on the beautiful island of Tromøya outside the city of Arendal on the scenic Norwegian south coast, previously more known for its many naturalist painters than for its allegiance to 'the devil’s music'. This is a policy that will be continued in 2008.

US rap superstar Jay Z is the latest headliner to be confirmed for this fabulous Norwegian festival.

The gig at Hove offers an extremely rare chance to catch the American rapper at a European festival.

Jay Z joins an already truly eclectic line up, consisting of everything from Black Metal legends Dimmu Borgir through to breakthrough dance acts like Boys Noize and Simian Mobile Disco. Indie/Myspace darlings Black Kids and Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong will feature alongside Brit superstars Babyshambles and US metal teen darlings Avenged Sevenfold. Of course a wide selection of Norwegian home-grown talent will also appear with the electronic pop sounds of Familjen to the sounds of art-tech-head Kim Hiorthøy. Scando-rock godfathers The Hellacopters and the post-everything Ungdomsskulen are also confirmed, with more great headliners being added daily in the weeks to come. Hove Festival promise a program the likes of which has never been seen on Norway’s shores!(music-news/com)

The 'Do It Well’ singer – who gave birth to twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony on February 22 – is more concerned with enjoying motherhood than losing the post-pregnancy pounds, according to People magazine editor Peter Castro.

He said: 'The twins were almost 6lbs each when they were born. And right now, yes, Jennifer has lost a lot of the weight, but she is in no rush to lose all of it. She is enjoying motherhood and that is what she is concentrating on.'

Castro, who spoke to Jennifer ahead of the release of world exclusive photos of the twins in People, also revealed the 38-year-old star was unbelievably proud to be a mother.

He said: 'Jennifer described it as the most magical time of her life. She said, 'You know what? You can win an Oscar, you can win a Golden Globe, and as an ambitious artist you strive for those things. But when you have a kid, all of that is irrelevant.’

'This is what is most important to her. As she said, 'As a woman this is the biggest thing that can happen to me.' (music-news)

The British singer is desperate lend his voice to the opening of the latest 007 adventure 'Quantum of Solace', but accepts he will have to get past current favourite Amy Winehouse.

He said in an interview with ITV.com: "I think trying to do a themed song for a film is great, a song that encapsulates what the whole film is about. "

Bond would be a great one. To be honest I know Amy Winehouse is being hotly-tipped for it, which would be great if she gets to do that, but the Bond films are an institution in themselves and you'd love to, as an artist, get involved with something like that. It would be great to be involved".

Sir Paul McCartney - whose band Wings created classic Bond theme 'Live and Let Die' for the movie of the same name in 1973 - recently tipped Amy for the job.

He said: "I think Amy Winehouse would do a really good job with the Bond theme. My advice to her would be not to try and rhyme 'Solace' with anything - that's too hard."

Other singers who have recorded Bond themes include Dame Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Sir Tom Jones and Duran Duran.(music-news)

The 'Umbrella' singer, who launched a campaign last month to find a bone marrow donor for mother-of-two Lisa Gershowitz Flynn, says finding a match for Lisa was a "miracle".

She said: "There are no words to express how happy I am for Lisa and her family. I am thankful she found a donor and I feel honoured to be a part of such an amazing miracle."

Rihanna was so moved by Lisa's story she joined forces with DKMS, the world's leading bone marrow donor centre, to find her a match.

The 41-year-old New York lawyer was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow last November, and was given just four to six weeks to find a donor.

Following Rihanna's public plea for help, 5,000 potential donors contacted DKMS. Lisa is now preparing for her bone marrow transplant.

Rihanna added to People magazine: "This blessing has continued to keep me aware of how precious life really is. I will be praying for Lisa and her family as they move into a hopeful future."

Lisa, who has a five-year-old son Michael and three-year-old daughter Alexandra, was overjoyed by the donor response. She previously said: "The English language does not have words that are adequate to thank someone for working to save your life.

Please continue to spread the word about how important it is to fill the bone marrow registry with donors to save others." (music-news)

The Spice Girls star - who first fell out with Britney when the 'Toxic' star reportedly refused to sit next to her at prestigious Los Angeles' hotel Chateau Marmont last year - has now blasted the 26-year-old for not having any personal input into her perfume line.

Speaking about the launch of her new dVb denim range for men, Victoria said: "I'm a complete control freak and I want everything to be perfect. I'm not doing a Britney Spears and just putting my name on something and saying, 'Sell this perfume.'

"This is a real passion of mine. People think all I do is go shopping like a miserable cow, but, in actual fact, I work bloody hard."

Mother-of-three Victoria also revealed how she likes her husband, soccer star David Beckham, to wear his denims.

She added: "I think guys should wear jeans big and baggy, with a big pair of boots or flip-flops - exactly how you see David when he's out in his jeans and T-shirt.

"Do not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang! I didn't want anything too tight around the crotch. That really repulses me. It might be fashionable, but you are not going to get that from dVb."

Victoria recently revealed she would hate to have Britney's life, adding: "I could never live a life like Britney Spears, who is under the spotlight every day. "I couldn't do that. I would go stir crazy. I need my privacy with my husband and children otherwise I'd just go loopy."(music-news)
