SUMMER VACATION FOR COLLEGE GIRL LOURDES LEON

AG074547_02lolacut

Lourdes Leon, 18, has finished her first year at the University of Michigan as a Performing Arts major, and she’s back in New York for summer vacation. She returned home with a nose ring and silver dyed hair (the rage in London.) Lola discourages her mother Madonna from visiting her at school unless absolutely necessary because she creates such a stir. When Madonna DOES visit, they avoid walking down the street together. Will Lola have a summer job? Chances are she’ll work on the Material Girl clothing line before the family takes its yearly vacation in late August.

MADONNA’S “MATERIAL GIRL” MODEL RITA ORA PASSED OUT AT PHOTO SHOOT

English singer Rita Ora, the new spokesperson for Madonna’s “Material Girl” fashion collection, was modeling for the new ad campaign when she passed out. It was 90 degrees in the shade where they were shooting photos on Ocean Drive in Miami. Rita appeared queasy and was holding on to a vintage car for dear life before she was helped from the set into her trailer. She didn’t feel any better after half an hour, and an ambulance was called. She was carried out on a stretcher and taken to the emergency room.

MADONNA ANOINTS RITA ORA AS THIS YEAR’S “MATERIAL GIRL”

Every year, Madonna likes to sign up the current “it girl” as the face of her Material Girl fashion collection featured in Macy’s. The first one was Taylor Momsen with the eyeliner, followed by Kelly Osbourne with the lavender hair, and Georgia May Jagger with the lips. This year Lourdes suggested British singer Rita Ora (Yes, the one who blithely broke Rob Kardashian’s heart and caused him to gain all that weight!) It’s a good deal for Rita – she’s earning $500,000 and her billboards will be all over the USA, where she needs more exposure. Poor Rob.

LOURDES IS PLANNING HER ESCAPE

She’s just about to turn 16, and Lourdes Leon is planning her future away from her mother Madonna and Kabbalah. Madonna is a controlling parent, and Lola wants her freedom. Right now Lourdes attends LaGuardia High School of Music and Art in Manhattan, and when she graduates, she hopes to move on to Bard College, a private university with a good performing arts department, which is located 90 miles outside of New York. Lourdes knows she will need to be in the city often to work on her Material Girl clothing and makeup collection, so the location is perfect. Far away, but not TOO far away. According to The Sun, she’s already earned enough money with Material Girl to pay her own tuition and expenses so THAT might discourage Madonna from pushing her to study elsewhere.

KELLY OSBOURNE’S GREY HAIR COST HER THE MATERIAL GIRL JOB

To no one’s surprise, Kelly Osbourne, 27, has been replaced as spokesperson for Madonna and Lourdes Leon’s Material Girl clothing line at Macy’s. Kelly simply became too mature looking to sell the teen aimed clothing line. Not only did Kelly dye her hair GREY- to Madonna’s complete horror – but she started dressing like a matron, wearing Badgley Mischka gowns. Material Girl needs a hip young image so Madonna replaced Kelly with Mick Jagger’s 20 year old daughter Georgia, who is already a successful model.

MADONNA TO KELLY OSBOURNE: “DITCH THE GREY HAIR!”

Madonna HATES Kelly Osbourne’s grey hair and ordered her to disguise it when she made appearances for Madonna and Lourdes’s clothing line Material Girl. Kelly says she’s giving her hair “a rest” from all the bleaching and dyeing. Nonetheless, Madonna is pushing her to recolor it – blonde, brunette, pink, – ANY color but grey. It ages her and just doesn’t work with the teen clothing collection.

MADONNA TRUMPS THE KARDASHIANS IN RETAIL SALES

Desperate retailers have been snapping up young celebrities to develop exclusive apparel lines for their chain stores and some have been faring far better than others. Right now the Kardashians and Selena Gomez are at the bottom of the heap because their collections are featured in Sears and Kmart stores which are going out of business left and right. Demi Lovato and Gwen Stefani are doing well with their lines at Target, but the biggest winner of all: Madonna and her daughter Lourdes’s Material Girl collection at Macy’s. Their clothing line has had an excellent year and Macy’s stock is up 27.2%.

12 YEAR OLDS WANT TO LOOK LIKE LOURDES LEON

Madonna’s daughter Lourdes is 14 going on 21. She looked quite grown up as she took charge and hosted the one year anniversary party of the Material Girl clothing line she and her mother started at Macy’s in New York. You can’t see it in this photo, but she’s wearing a red Kabbalah string on her left wrist in spite of the cult’s financial scandals. When she’s not attending the Fame high school of performing arts and music, she’s working on the fashion collection. Lourdes has become a major fashion influence for pre-teens.

MACY’S PREFERS KELLY OSBOURNE’S LOOK TO TAYLOR MOMSEN’S

Thanks to Madonna, Kelly Osbourne looks quite fetching in her new Macy’s ads for the Material Girl collection, although her look is not particularly provocative. Apparently the store shied away from Taylor Momsen’s hard core raccoon eyes persona and wanted a softer more teen (and MOM) friendly feeling. Kelly looks a lot sweeter than usual. Now it’s clear why Kelly replaced Taylor.

SLIMMING DOWN GAVE KELLY OSBOURNE A WHOLE NEW LIFE

Kelly Osbourne can’t believe how her life has changed since she lost between 28 and 42 pounds. Not only does she have more fun shopping, but she’s been asked to model in fashion shows. The ultimate compliment came when Madonna asked her to replace Taylor Momsen as spokesperson for Madonna and Lourdes’s fashion collection Material Girl. Why Taylor Momsen, 17, now on “indefinite hiatus” from Gossip Girl, lost her job after less than five months is not known.
