Wonder what your favourite celebrity is up to these days?
In our weekly round up, we bring you the latest news on models, designers and actors from the world of glamour and fashion.
Pop star Lady Gaga and music legend Elton John have teamed up for clothing line Love Bravery.
The pop icons have collaborated on a range of limited edition clothes and accessories with American chain Macy's, with 25 per cent of each purchase supporting the charities championed by the celebrities, the Born This Way Foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, reported People magazine.
With inputs from Gaga's sister Natali Germanotta and designer Brandon Maxwell, the line reflects both artists' style and music, and features bold colours, prints and edgy looks.
"It's an honour to team up with Sir Elton John to create this line with Macy's," 30-year old Gaga said. "We need to make the world a kinder and braver place where men and women everywhere are empowered to live with compassion."
The clothing range includes sleeveless t-shirts, crop tops, sweatshirts, tops with metallic lettering, and scarves printed with piano key graphics. There's also a collection of fun accessories such as beanies, keychains, enamel pins, patches, clutches shaped as sunglasses and hearts as well as Neoprene backpacks printed with the word 'love'.
About the line, John, 69, said that he liked the concept of fusing who you are on the inside with what your wear on the outside.
"Love Bravery is about the compassion on the inside to understand someone's fears, and the bravery on the outside to stand up for them, and for yourself to accept others for who they are and who you want to be. So I'm thrilled we are collaborating on this project and delighted Macy's understood our dream to connect with people this way," he said.

Which Hollywood character inspires Dita Von Tesse's style
Burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese has revealed that she sometimes models her look on Sharon Stone's character in 1995's Casino (an American crime thriller film).
The 43-year old star has revealed she loves to emulate the 'good, strong look' of the 58-year old actress in the film when she heads to Las Vegas, reported Femalefirst.
"I wear late 50s and early 60s dresses, keeping in mind that the air conditioning means everything is always ice cold. I always have my arms covered there. I think a lot about the whole Rat Pack era and, of course, we all want to look like Sharon Stone in Casino. That's a good, strong look," Von Teese said.
Meanwhile, she also praised Las Vegas for encouraging people to opt for a glamorous look. "I love how Las Vegas encourages people to get dressed up and make an effort. I feel that Vegas is historically a glamorous place, so I love getting really dressed up when I go there."

How Prince influenced model-actor Padma Lakshmi's life
Supermodel Padma Lakshmi has revealed music icon Prince had a huge influence during her growing up years.
Lakshmi, 45, was thinking of her late friend Prince, who died on April 21, reported People magazine.
"He was a huge influence on my life and my adolescence. I grew up with Prince. I remember seeing Apollonia (an American model-actor and Prince's co-star in film Purple Rain) when I was a teenage girl and doing my makeup like that. It was a really big part of my growing up," she said.
Prince's sudden death left an impact on Lakshmi. "I don't remember being this upset when any other performer passed away. Not Michael Jackson, not anybody. Bowie, yes, because I know Iman and David. And I knew Prince too, but I wasn't that close to him. But I just knew him. I've been depressed all week."

Hate Story actress Zarine Khan, who has been at the receiving end of body shaming in the past, says she is happy that men and women have become forthcoming in talking about the issue.
Zarine recently posted her teenage pictures, when she used to be overweight, and also wrote that she never bothered about people's negative comments about her body.
"Body shaming is really bad and I'm glad that people have actually started coming forth and speaking about it. I don't understand how can anyone judge you to be beautiful or ugly based on your body," Zarine said in a statement.
The 28-year old actress has lost oodles of weight in the recent past and is training under fitness trainer Abbas Ali. A lot of youngsters have approached Zarine at the gym where she works out and on social networking websites asking her about the secret to weight loss.
While she believes determination is important to achieve a goal her main message to the youth is never to go on a crash diet.
"The worst thing you can do to yourself is go on a crash diet. Only a healthy lifestyle will help you achieve a fit body. No shortcuts."

Move aside Justin Bieber. Calvin Klein has a new model!
Are you a social media addict? If that's the case, you might just get noticed by high-end brands for their campaigns, just like 21-year old Cameron Dallas.
Cameron -- who is known to be America's Vine superstar -- replaced Justin Bieber in American brand Calvin Klein's ad campaign on limited-edition jean capsule collection.
Yes, you heard it right!
Cameron's relationship with the brand dates back to 2011, when he tweeted on the brand page that he wanted to be a Calvin Klein model.
On being selected for this year's campaign, he spoke to online magazine Fashionista and said, "It's a dream come true to actually be in one of their campaigns. I've always been a huge fan of the brand, and these pieces fit perfectly with my everyday style."
Shot by legendary photographer Jack Pierson on a beach in Malibu, Cameron shot for Calvin Klein's spring collection in a white-heavy lineup of crisp denim staples. He modelled with Austrian model Stella Lucia in the campaign.
Wonder how he maintains his physique? Well, looks like he lets Mother Nature do the heavy-lifting.
"My daily diet consists of basically anything I think looks tasty, whether that's pizza, sushi, burgers, quesadillas. I like everything," Cameron mentioned in an interview with fashion magazine GQ. "I don't work out or watch what I eat. But I need to start so it doesn't catch up to me."

Rio Olympics 2016: Stella McCartney unveils new designs for Team GB
Adidas joins hands with British fashion designer Stella McCartney for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
She, recently revealed the designs for Team GB (Great Britain) and they look quite bold, just like her previous collection of designs for athletes who competed in London Olympic Games, 2012.
Using bright colours and striking graphics in red, white and blue, she presented the new designs at Seymour Leisure Centre, London on April 27, wearing a scarlet coat over a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers from her eponymous label. This time she is using fabrics that are 10 percent lighter than those worn in London Olympic Games, 2012.
In an interview with The Guardian, she said, "I want to deliver for the athletes, but I've got to please the nation as well. This project has to make a lot more people happy than I'm used to." She continued "In my day job, the women who buy my clothes come to me because they already identify with me in some way. This project isn't like that -- it has to emotionally and visually tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people, while keeping functionality paramount. In a way, it's the most intricate thing I do."
Apart from the new coat of arms -- that are more detailed in design -- she has incorporated graphics on leggings, sweatshirts and zip-up windbreakers.
