Lady Gaga to Get Her Own Wax Figure!

It looks like we’ll be seeing twice as much of Lady Gaga and her statement-making styles before the year is out! Madame Tussauds has confirmed to PEOPLE that the superstar will be immortalized with her very own wax figure, set to be unveiled at the museum’s New York CIty location–as well as additional figures in undisclosed cities–before year’s end. And while it may have been easy to choose signature styles for fellow body doubles like Marylin Monroe and Kim Kardashian, choosing just one iconic look for Gaga out of the hundreds of over-the-top ensembles, might prove to be a true fashion challenge. Will Gaga’s multiple figures feature her outrageous headgear or her barely-there bodysuits? If you think you know which Gaga look should be set in wax, visit nycwax.com to voice your fashion voice and point them in the right direction.

Jessica Simpson is no stranger to the front row, but to show her own collection during New York Fashion Week, the blonde bombshell is saying “no” to the runway and to professional models!

Enlisting the likes of sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and close friend Cacee Cobb, Jessica will dress her nearest and dearest in her debut denim line as well as jewelry and apparel from her fall/holiday collection. The models will mingle with fashion editors and guests while brother-in-law Pete Wentz spins tunes. With all this star-wattage, it’s going to be hard to concentrate on the clothes! Stay tuned for more details. –Andrea DeSimone

Dancing with the Stars style fans, rejoice! If you’ve been eyeing that rhinestone bracelet or sparkly gown from last season’s cha-cha number, it could soon be yours. Randall Christensen, the costume designer behind the show’s glamorous bejeweled outfits, will soon come out with his own line of inspired women’s apparel, jewelry, accessories and more. “The right costume, for an individual’s body, can be transformational,” said Christensen, who’s dressed Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin. “I have seen women grow a couple of inches taller right before my eyes, with the right clothes and accessories, that strap, minimize, lift, shape, and accentuate. Every woman deserves that kind of confidence." And it's the every woman that the brand will target, providing accessible designs at affordable price points without compromising Christensen's dramatic flair. There's no launch date set yet, but we can't wait to see Randall’s creations. Tell us: Are you looking forward to Christensen's own line of clothing? –Hana Choi

Tinsley Mortimer Shares Her Bikini Secrets

Staying fit during bikini season is no easy feat—just ask New York socialite Tinsley Mortimer. “If my weight is down I do honestly feel more confident in a bikini,” says Mortimer, 35, who starred in the CW reality series High Society this year. So when she has to be in top shape—like during an August appearance at Tao Beach in Las Vegas, “I really try to eat less, work out a little, and stick to my low carb diet,” she says. “It works well for me and enables me to feel happier about putting on my bikini.” That means a diet of “egg whites, grilled chicken, tuna fish, cheese, coffee and salad—I eat a very low, if not no-carb diet typically,” Tinsley confesses, adding that she runs twice a week and plays in tennis matches on the weekend. But that is not to say that she won’t indulge here and there. “I love pizza and cupcakes!” she laughs. “I will usually be bad about once every two weeks and order Domino’s. I am sort of obsessed!” –Charlotte Triggs
