Sheryl Crow has gone into the fashion business as she has recently launched Bootheel Trading Co., her new line of jeans, denim jackets and tops. The 46-year old singer says “I’ve spent years collecting some of the most amazing pieces and never thought I would be able to bring the spirit of this vintage, laid-back fashion to life with comparable quality at a price with every woman in mind.” Retail price point for the collection will be anywhere in between $65 to $68 for jeans. Well that’s not much of a range. Oh well, the prices seem reasonable enough. It’s fine I guess.

Avril Lavigne, her Sum 41 front man husband Deryck Whibley and their friends were spotted enjoying a winter vacation in Miami on Monday. Now, I get why she’s wearing a jacket on the beach. And here I thought she was doing an Ashlee Simpson/Pete Wentz by going all emo.

Rumors have been running rampant that the Canadian punk rock princess has a bun in the oven but her reps have recently shot down the pregnancy rumors. Those rumors have been around for a couple of weeks now and it doesn’t look like she’s pregnant. Her reps may just be telling the truth – or maybe that’s what the jacket is really for.

Rocker Sheryl Crow is the latest singer to jump on the celebrity designer bandwagon. Crow is teaming up with Canadian clothing manufacturer Western Glove Works to launch a low budget denim line. Yeah that’s the only thing these failed rockers and artist are left to do, one they have nothing creative left in them they think that the only thing they can best do is create a flop fashion line with some fashion house and dump it in the market with their name on the tag. Since I truly do not believe that any celebrity actually designs their own clothes…I’m going to say designer. Because usually the celeb crap is well, crap. I can give up one example that comes to mind immediately is that of Victoria Beckham, she had a successful career with the Spice Girls, once the band broke up she needed to do something creative and what’s more creative than get herself a fashion line and since then she has been selling some rags with a high price tag, Sheryl think she can do the same.

Cancer survivor Sheryl Crow is helping others suffering with the disease, by championing a new charity shoe sale. Well I do not know how much would a charity show sale auction or what ever it would call collect for cancer patients. But tell you what, sometimes its not just what is on sale that is important, at times its what is the cause for which the sale is being put on that is important. And this is exactly one of those auctions where shoe sales are not important but the motive and the feeling to help others like her that is note worthy. Sheryl you are not just a plain music rocker but a true rocker in life as well, you’ve battled cancer and you’ve won and I think you know today the importance of life and you wanna make a difference in other’s lives as well who are battling this deadly but curable disease. Hats off to you and hopefully you can collect enough to help some if not all people you intend to.
