Although we were a little thrown by her boyish haircut (we had no idea she'd gone and done that!), we totally loved the way VB rocked her on dVb line at a department store promo in Dusseldorf, Germany. She's given herself a total tomboy makeover that is really the embodiment of the today's menswear trends.

Most of us in the world of fashion were slightly taken aback when Katie Holmes started sporting what looked like her husband's jeans, pegged and rolled to the ankle. We were sure it was a fluke, but she kept showing up in them, and before long, we stopped being surprised. Heck, we even stopped making faces about it.

As Kristen reported, Victoria Beckham isn't showing her dVb collection on the runway this year at Fashion Week. Instead, viewings will be by appointment only. Many speculated that Posh didn't want to deal with negative criticism so she was going to keep things under wraps, but new reports say the real reason behind her no show is fear of Katie Holmes!

Victoria Beckham certainly keeps trying to make herself into a fashion designer, but it's not quite going the way she envisioned. Following lackluster sales of her dVb denim line, her plans for a line of menswear has been scrapped as well.

Just what the fashion world needs, another quasi-boring, overpriced celebrity clothing line -- at least this one will be eco-friendly. Alt-rocker and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow has apparently decided to jump on the bandwagon of rock stars pretending to be fashion designers, teaming up with Western Glove Works (the same guys who manufacture Posh's dVb jeans) to bring us a new line of vintage inspired, eco-chic casual wear.

We know Sheryl as both a cancer and environmental activist, but not so much a fashionista. Her line will be called "Bootheel Trading Co. by Sheryl Crow," and will consist of mostly denim-based apparel: t-shirts, jeans, organic cotton this, fair trade that, etc. We're expecting the collection to be one part granola, and one part western wear -- judging by Sheryl's laid-back fashion sense. A friend told Star magazine that "She's heading to Australia in October to meet with her partners and start production." No telling when the line will actually hit stores though, or what stores it will hit.

Who better than a crazy spitting, cell phone throwing super model to inspire you to create fashion? Victoria Beckham has made a pair of jeans for her dVb line based off of Naomi Campbell's look.

Lots of celebrities have taken to "designing" clothing lines. And, while some of them make sense -- who wouldn't want to dress like Penelope Cruz? -- some are questionable, to say the least. Check out this list of celebrity clothing designers and then cast your vote -- who's line would you be most likely to wear?

Posh Spice, never what you would call a classically trained vocalist anyway, is giving up singing so she can give all of her attention to her fashion line, dVb.

Oooh, this is a tricky one. Do we comment on her dubious singing abilities in the first place, mentioning the rumors that she was lip-synching on the Spice Girls' recent tour? Or is it more germane to bring up the recent dVb failure in the US, including the ignominy of getting outsold by trampy Heidi Montag?

Paris Hilton certainly made an impact in London when she stopped by Selfridges to promote her new fragrance, Can Can. She not only channeled Sarah Jessica Parker by wearing an unusual hat (which, though we're in the minority, we kind of love -- just maybe not on Paris), she also stole the spotlight from Victoria Beckham who had decided to actually take the trouble to promote her denim line down the street at Harrods.

Contrary to earlier reports, it seems that Victoria Beckham is warming up to the American way of life faster than we previously thought possible. With her fashion line's sales in the crapper, she's decided to do what any red blooded American would do: find someone else to blame and sue their ass.

Thus far, Posh's only real success with denim has been her pricey signature line that she designed for Rock & Republic in 2004. After a couple of years however, the relationship between Victoria and the premium denim label went bad, and the two parted ways. Now that dVb is hitting the discount stores, it seems that Posh he reconsidered the deal with R&R. According to the Daily News, Beckham Brand Ltd is seeking $100 million in lost earnings.

This is a war of the divas. What, wait? Heidi Montag isn't a diva. She might wish she were, but in spite of Spencer's whining, she's not there yet. Now, Posh, on the other hand is a diva in every sense of the word. But no matter what we classify them as, they both have clothing lines and they're duking it out.

Sure, sales weren't exactly stellar, and Posh's meager PR efforts weren't helping the situation -- but this is a new low! The Spice Girl's dVb jeans (you know, the ones that don't show off your bulge), were going for upwards of $290 at trendy LA boutiques. Now, however, they're lining the racks of Loehmann's, an "off-price specialty retailer" (read: the discount store for clothes that nobody wants).

And it's not just a couple pairs, either. An accomplice for gossip queen Perez Hilton found entire racks full of them in a Roseda, CA store -- all priced at a considerably more affordable $69.99.

Chalk up another seemingly incomprehensible ad concept for Marc Jacobs and advertising crew. As opposed to the last go-round, where they managed to make Victoria look like some kind of Iggy Pop stunt double, Jacobs' April ad has the former Spice Girl curled up in a fetal position and sucking her thumb.

Why the yellow kitchen gloves? Is that a hygiene thing? Maybe this image is supposed to represent the uncertainty Posh feels about her lagging clothing line, or just life in the States. It's colorful, I give it that.

David Beckham has always been very open about the fact that he basically lets Victoria Beckham use him for playing dress up. She serves as his wife and stylist. What a talented multi-tasking woman!

Well, Mrs. Becks wants all to guys to learn how to wear their jeans like David. So she's going to make it easy for them and design a line of men's jeans to be sold though her brand, dVb. And the most important feature of these jeans? Well, she thinks men should absolutely, under no circumstances show off their junk."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-shirtDo not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!"

About the style of what she's designing Victoria says, "These are not skinny jeans. They are what I call proper men's jeans. If you are a man that likes really skinny jeans, very fashiony, this isn't really the line for you. 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."

Seriously, why does Victoria have such a fascination with talking about David's manhood? Yeah, anyone else remember when she compared his penis to a tractor exhaust pipe?!? Yes, it's true. David Beckham is hotter than the sun. But that's still T.M.I. regardless of who we're talking about!

Anyways, back to the subject at hand. I will admit that David does wear his jeans very nicely. But the dVb version will be retailing for about $220-$285. Guess I won't be buying my hubby a pair of these anytime soon.
