Celebrities morph from actor to model to pop-diva faster than a J.Lo marriage falls apart. The newest incarnation of fame? Everyone is a designer. Celebrity clothing lines are now taking over our closets with less than stellar results. Recess looks at some notable names and their not-so-notable creations:
*Hillary Duff has been too busy writing witty lyrics to think of a name for her new teen clothing line. As a result, the line of Disney-friendly PG duds has been labeled "Stuff."
*Gwen Stefani may be "just a girl," but there is no doubt that this girl has fashion sense. Don't be fooled by the beaded bags bearing her L.A.M.B. (Love Angel Music Baby) logos--underneath it all they are just Le Sportsacs.
*You may not look like J. Lo or be able to afford to dress like her, but at least now you can have her name stitched on everything you own. Her whole line (even the workout clothing) is pretty much guaranteed to skankify and flaunt your bootylicious assets.
*Football-crazed blokes have been scooping up David Beckham's creations at Marks & Spencer since September of 2002. Now Beckham is reaffirming his metrosexuality by pushing a line of male cosmetics for Japan's Tokyo Beauty Centre. Not to be out-poshed by her husband, Victoria Beckham has informed "Hello" that her own line is in the works.
*Christy Turlington's Nuala yoga wear promises outstanding style and quality. But somehow we doubt that her $130 crop-yoga pants will elevate our derrière to supermodel status the next time we attempt downward-facing dog.
