Cousart-Rios/JFX, Mavrix

Ever since she played Daisy Duke in Dukes of Hazzard, Jessica Simpson has made the character’s iconic cutoff shorts one of her own style signatures — pairing them with everything from floaty floral blouses to sexy bustiers for her stage costumes. But looks like her little sister Ashlee has the same idea, taking her adorable baby son Bronx out in her own faded cutoff shorts. We can’t help but compare the two — and be totally wowed by their shared genes for fabulous legs! We want to know what you think, though. Vote in our poll below, and tell us: Which Simpson sister wears her cutoff shorts better?

AnnaLynne, Sophia, Brody, Joel and More Celebrate Summer with Op

What happens when you put some of today’s hottest young stars together for one photo shoot?  According to AnnaLynne McCord and Brody Jenner, it was nothing but fun.  McCord and Jenner are some of the latest stars to helm the Op summer ad campaign, along with Sophia Bush, Joel Madden, Solange Knowles, and Cody Linley.  “[With] all these different types of entertainers all coming together, you never know how it’s going to be, but we had a lot of fun,” 90210’s McCord told reporters Tuesday night at the launch party for the campaign at Mel’s Diner in West Hollywood.  “We kept asking, ‘are we really working? Is this really job?’  It was awesome!”  And working with photographer Larry Bartholomew couldn’t have been more laid back. “[He] was probably the easiest photographer I’ve ever shot with,” said the Hills hunk.  “We had a blast.  Everybody was very cool, very friendly.  I hadn’t met any of these people except for Joel [and] we had a good time!”  As for fans of Op, there were plenty to be found on set.  McCord confessed her love for the line’s swimwear collection, while Bush, who arrived to the party in head-to-toe Op (even artfully pinning her cardigan with a brooch in the back!), has been wearing the brand since she was young.  “I grew up in California and I grew up wearing the clothes.  When I heard they were making it so affordable and so consumer friendly, I just thought it was great.”  And so do we.  Op is available exclusively at WalMart. –- Shruti Dhalwala

Justin Timberlake Fronting Two Givenchy Fragrances; Not Creating His Own

While Justin Timberlake’s face has graced the ad campaigns for Parfums Givenchy men’s fragrances, Play and Play Intense, in Europe for almost a year, don’t count on him launching his own signature scent anytime soon. WWD caught up with the multi-tasking superstar who says “there’s some level of narcissism you have to put in check” to do one. So while we won’t get to see Justin bringing sexy back for his own sake, his Givenchy fragrance campaign will be launching stateside this fall. The ads for Play and Play Intense, shot by Tom Munro, will break in September fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazines — and we can’t wait! And even though the rest of Hollywood seemingly jumps into the fragrance business, Justin is content just fronting the campaigns — for now. “I don’t know that I would be completely comfortable with a my-name fragrance,” he tells WWD. “It feels like cheating, almost. It doesn’t seem like you’re creating anything.” But don’t rule out a more personal fragrance from Timberlake. “I could see doing a William Rast fragrance, but that’s as far as I think I’ll take it.” Check out more of what Justin had to say in today’s WWD and be on the look out for his Givenchy ads come fall. Tell us: Are you excited to see Justin’s sexy Givenchy ads?

Miley Cyrus: “I’m Really Into High Fashion”

Miley Cyrus might just be a teenager, but that doesn’t stop the Disney star from having grown-up taste when it comes to fashion. For the August issue of Elle, the Hannah Montana star goes high fashion glam and dishes on everything from her new clothing line with Max Azria to her crooked teeth. The star tells Elle of her new Walmart collection with Azria, “Literally this is going to be good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but that don’t have it available.” The collaboration will hit Walmart stores in early August, but Miley is already playing favorites, citing the jeans as her “favorite part of the entire line.” Although, when it comes to denim shopping for herself, the young star knows no limit, “I would pay $500 for the jeans that we make for $20. I’m really into high fashion.” And with a glamorous life filled with premieres and parties, it’s almost hard not to be. “The most fun thing about prom is having that one special night when you dress up and you feel like a princess, and honestly, I get to do that one night a lot,” says Miley. But, even though she is a superstar, she still has to listen to her parents. “My dad won’t let me fix my teeth or cut my hair. He loves it. He’s like, ‘It’s you!’” says Miley, who has no problem with her dad’s rules. “I like these crooked. I love my teeth.” Read more about Miley and check out her glamorous fashion shoot in the August issue ofEllemagazine.
