"The fashion houses really want those girls wearing their product," said the publicist. "They’re photographed a lot and are known just for being cool Hollywood girls."
But when it comes to Heidi Montag and her cheesy love affair with Spencer Pratt , it's a no-go zone. We’re told Heidi’s public persona is a little too cheap even for casual (but classy) brands.
"They don’t want their stuff on Heidi, even despite the fact that she is very media-friendly and is photographed a lot," added the rep. "It’s just not the caliber of celebrity most clients go for."
On the note of Montag’s not-so-spectacular taste, she’s just come out with yet another, er, song entitled "Overdosin.'" But the only thing this girl is overdosin' on is '80s leotards, slow-motion dancing and some oohs and ahhs.
But when it comes to Lauren Conrad’s clothing collection vs. rival Montag’s, the latter seems to be winning the race. L.C.’s line recently got booted from trendy boutique Kitson while Montag’s "Heidiwood" has totally sold out and even the re-order is selling out fast.
Heidi’s recent in-store appearance attracted almost 400 screaming fans whereas we’re told L.C.’s Bloomingdale's visit reportedly brought in about 200.
Although the high-profile department store is standing by the reality starlet for the time being, we can't think they would be too pleased about the new issue of People magazine's StyleWatch section. Conrad encourages readers to go to her Web site to purchase the clothes rather than promoting the retailers that have supported her and invested thousands into stocking her collection.
Jessica Biel: A SexyBack Bun in the Oven? Jacko in PJs
Everytime a Hollywood hottie steps out with anything more than a concave stomach, the pregnancy rumor mill starts churning.
Jessica Biel was snapped leaving a Los Angeles Whole Foods on Wednesday with a belly bulge, and in due course tongues were wagging as to whether she and beau Justin Timberlake are expecting a little loved one...
Biel's rep did not respond for comment.
On the note of interesting photos, Michael Jackson was caught at Las Vegas’s Planet Hollywood on Thursday with a lovely tuxedo covering his top half … and pajama pants on the bottom?!
PETA Defends 'Go Naked' Sophie Monk's KFC Feast
Last year, actress Sophie Monk posed nude on a bed of peppers in a PETA campaign to encourage us all to "Spice Up Our Lives" and "Go Vegetarian" — a diet she reportedly has been following since her teen days.
So how come the animal rights activist was snapped earlier this week carrying a bag from KFC?
A PETA rep came to Sophie's defense, telling Pop Tarts: "They do have mashed potatoes and biscuits. So in a pinch a very hungry vegetarian can get vegetarian food there, which is what we assume Sophie was doing."
