Mya may have the most judges’ points on Dancing with the Stars heading into the semifinals, but she also has the most fashion points for her sexy style on the dance floor! She sat down exclusively with PEOPLETV recently to dish about everything from her favorite dance costumes to her ideal dance partner. “My favorite costume so far has been the Jive. A lot of swing action going on and the fringe gives a lot of movement,” she says. And if she had to pick another star to be her partner? “Donny Osmond is the ultimate performer. He lights up that dance floor every time he steps out there.” Watch even more Star Talks in PEOPLE TV, and get all the news on DWTS in TV Watch.

Bravo’s Senior Vice President of Original Programming and Development and newest late night talk show host Andy Cohen admits that he’s “obsessed” with She By Sheree, the fashion line from The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield. “It is the greatest name for a fashion line ever,” Cohen told PEOPLE at the recent Fashion Group International Night of Stars at Cipriani Wall Street, where he and BRAVO executive Francis Berwick were honored with a Fashion Oracle Award. “I can’t stop talking about it. I’ve done 14 episodes of Watch What Happens:Live! and every episode, I ask people, ‘Are you wearing She by Sheree?’” In fact, Cohen is pushing for the line to make it into the First Lady’s wardrobe. “I had Michelle Obama’s hairdresser Johnny Wright on last week,” he tells us. “And I said, ‘What is it going to take to get the First Lady into a She by Sheree frock?’ And he said that he’s anxiously awaiting what the line presents to see. He said if Sheree creates something great, maybe it will happen. So tonight,” Cohen said. “I’m really pushing for the first lady to wear She by Sheree!’” And while She by Sheree debuted on last month during New York Fashion Week, everyone got a taste of She by Sheree on last week’s season finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

What’s the sweetest thing about the Simmons family? Pastry VIP, the new high-end footwear and clothing line from Rev. Run’s oldest offspring, Vanessa and Angela Simmons. An expansion of their original Pastry Footwear sneaker line, Pastry VIP will feature heels in a more sophisticated and contemporary style. “The pieces are just so original and so outside the box of what anyone is doing,” Vanessa tells PEOPLE. When it comes to fashion, the sisters have some pretty large shoes to fill. Dad Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons created the Run Athletics brand and uncle Russell Simmons is behind mega-brand Phat Farm. “We got the best blueprints from the industry just by paying attention while growing up,” Vanessa says. The sisters run all their designs past their fashionable family, though they admit their dad and uncle aren’t always the best judges when it comes to women’s clothing. Fashion tips aren’t the only things Vanessa and Angela will be missing from Dad. The sisters relocated in January from the family home in New Jersey to Los Angeles where they film their reality show Daddy’s Girls, now in its second season. The new season will follow the sisters as they run their business on the West Coast, which will include highlighting the Pastry line. The stars will debut a series of heels and flats at Macy’s at the beginning of the holiday season. They hope to expand their brand further in the future – after all, it’s in their blood. “It’s the thing that I’ve been interested in since forever,” Angela tells PEOPLE. “I love fashion. Live, sleep, eat, breathe it.” –Jessica Wedemeyer

Can you package the joie-de-vivre of Sex and the City’s ultra-fashionable Carrie Bradshaw in a bottle? Coty Prestige plans to do just that with the launch of Sarah Jessica Parker’s newest fragrance, SJP NYC, following on the stiletto heels of her two enormously successful fragrances Lovely and Covet. In an interview with WWD, Parker says that the fruity floral scent will be a “party in a bottle,” influenced primarily by her character, Miss Bradshaw. “A large part of the inspiration was what I now understand to be people’s impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them — a real sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her and, of course, fashion,” Parker told WWD. SJP NYC, with top notes of Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries, will arrive exclusively in Macy’s stores in February, just in time to get fans excited for the May release of the second SATC film. The packaging was designed to look like Bradshaw’s famously over-stuffed closet — featuring a simple glass bottle encased in a reusable canister and topped with a hot pink cap. The fragrance collection will include eau de toilette in three sizes as well as a body lotion, priced between $25-$49. A cuff bracelet with solid perfume will debut in May.

What does a fashionable New Yorker do when in London? Why, go to Topshop of course!  Olivia Palermo made a brief appearance at London Fashion Week this weekend to check out the Matthew Williamson show and to attend Topshop’s show for its Unique line. Sitting front row at Williamson on Sunday, she told PEOPLE, “I love the way Matthew uses color and I’ve been a huge fan of Topshop for as long as I can remember, so I’m really excited to see both shows.” With filming of The City having just wrapped, Palermo is keen to get her next project under way. “I’m really excited actually, I’m doing a collaboration with Roberta Freymann for a necklace collection,” she revealed. “I designed two styles that will go into her store and we’re working on an exclusive retail deal, probably in Bendels.” According to the fashionable TV star, her perfect Sunday in London would be a low key, paparazzi-free day. “Usually [her boyfriend] Johannes is with me and we love walking around Notting Hill just relaxing, but it’s Fashion Week so I’m here instead and so far it’s been great.” –Monique Jessen

New season, new school, new look for Gossip Girl’s Queen Bee Blair Waldorf, as played by Leighton Meester brought her Upper East Side style down to NYU, but her Victoria Beckham peplum dress and matching headband didn’t play quite as well below 14th Street. Now, for Waldorf’s arch-enemy Vanessa Abrams, played by Jessica Szohr, the transition from Brookyn to campus was a little bit easier with her signature funky style, like last night’s Joie denim cargo shorts and a floral DVF print tank. No wonder Blair took a cue from her new floormate and switched into a pair of brass-button Milly sailor shorts and abstract striped DVF top! We tracked down their chic outfits for a whole lot less — not all co-eds have that kind of budget!

It’s a new View — and a new do — for Kate Gosselin. On her second day as guest cohost on the talk show, Kate debuted a new wavy look. “You have a new hairstyle. It’s a first!” said Barbara Walters, as Tuesday’s show began. Added co-host Joy Behar, “It looks cute!” Gosselin gave credit to the show’s makeup artists with an enthusiastic, “Your girls back there, whoo baby! Isn’t it cute?” Later in the program, Kate talked about why she’s still wearing her wedding ring even though she and Jon are divorcing. “I said very early on that I would continue to wear it for the kids,” she explains. “We’re not officially divorced yet, and you know, I’ve had it on for 10 years. It’s upsetting to the kids.” Kate also responded to Jon’s comments to Good Morning America last week that he “despises” Kate. “Of course it bothers me,” she said. “Am I going to return the favor? Absolutely not. I am a high-road taker.” Watch a clip of today’s show. Then tell us: What do you think of Kate’s new do?– Jason Lynch
