Tara Reid is now a Fashion Designer

The world has been lacking in style and sophistication lately, and Tara Reid unleashed her new line of apparel earlier this week. The former actress is pouring her prodigious talents into a new fashion line, Mantra, which she debuted in Las Vegas yesterday (August 25) in her bid to become the latest celebrity with a hit fashion line.

And Miss Reid definitely dressed to impress, sporting a turquoise blue mid-thigh length dress with a plunging backline and a pair of strappy heels with a Louis Vuitton handbag.

Mantra features t-shirts, dresses, bikinis, ponchos, and hoodies decorated with beads and charms. The pricing ranges from $65 and $180 depending on the item.

Lauren Conrad to Design Emmy Awards Dress 2008

The Hills star, Lauren Conrad 22, has landed a gig designing “a couture gown for the women handing out statuettes at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.”

“I am so excited that the Academy has asked me to design a dress for this year’s Emmy Awards,” LC said in a statement released earlier today. “I will be doing a red carpet look that still reflects the simple classic design of the Lauren Conrad Collection but with a black tie twist.”

Added Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich: "We are very excited to have someone as talented as Lauren Conrad working with us to help make this a very memorable and exciting show."

Conrad recently denied reports that she is not involved in the creation of her clothing line.

POSH & LONGORIA TO OPEN NIGHT SPOT IN LAS VEGAS

Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria are reportedly set to go into business together.

The “Desperate Housewives” actress and former Spice Girls star are planning to team up to open a incomparable nightspot in Las Vegas.

The venue will include a restaurant, Beso II - the second eatery in Eva’s Beso franchise - and a casino.

The pair’s decision to turn half the business into a casino is said to be due to their interest in dominoes, after Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore introduced them to the game.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Eva and Victoria are obsessed with the game and spend most of their evenings going out for a civilized meal and then getting stuck into a meaty tournament. But they realized there are no venues which provide dinner and focus on this new Hollywood craze.”

“So when Eva said she was opening a new branch of Beso in the gambling capital of the world, Victoria had the brainwave of turning it into a place which specializes in food and their favorite game.”

“Eva will oversee the restaurant, while Victoria channels her energies into the casino.”

Other games reportedly set to be offered in the casino include Mah Jong, Chicken foot and Cut-Throat.

Beso II will serve food by celebrity chef Todd English and specialize in the same Latin infusion made famous by the original restaurant.
