Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift and Kristen Stewart may be wearing the same dress but their looks are completely different. Taylor wore her version to the Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony in June 2010, while Kristen wore this dress back in October 2009 while filming The Runaways.
Taylor went for pretty in her lavender frock, pairing it with Champagne satin Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps. She finished the look with her signature smoky eye makeup and a flower in her girly updo. Kristen, on the other hand, matched her cream confection with nude Sergio Rossi heels and a dark, "Joan Jett" mullet for an edgier look.

Taylor Swift (Getty Images)It's important to have an outlet for your emotions. Luckily for Taylor Swift, her outlet also makes her millions of dollars. The country star says she copes by writing songs.The 20-year-old "Love Story" songstress -- who was famously dumped by Joe Jonas on the phone -- revealed she can only get closure on something once she has processed what she’s feeling and transferred it into a song.
She told Marie Claire magazine: “Everyone in my life knows whenever something happens the only way it’s going to be over and finished and put to bed is if it’s written about. Right now, the number one priority in my life is figuring out how to process what I'm feeling and translate it into musical form. It's like, 'Oh, my God, I'm confused right now. What's the rhyme I could use here?"
The singer and songwriter explained planning ahead means life is less stressful.
She stated: “I think about my next move 10 steps ahead. I'm always planning three awards shows ahead. For me, planning is a productive way of stressing out about your life.”
When it comes to collaborations, the blonde country singer revealed she would love to work with The White Stripes’ guitarist Jack White.
She said: "I love his style. I love his writing. I think he's an awesome player too."

The Kardashian sisters
Ever look at a celebrity like Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian and think to yourself, "I really want that sparkly dress!" or "I wonder what else she would wear"? Well, now the site with all the answers and then some is launching stateside. In September 2010, the UK-based e-tailer Asos will debut its US domain. Asos, which stands for 'As Seen on Screen,' is the premier online retail location for celebrity style and trendy clothing. It culls a collection of celeb faves like Miu Miu, Current/Elliot and D&G, and also sell its own in-house line. The store has more than 37,000 style options and adds about 1,500 more each week.
Our favorite feature allows you to shop the styles of your favorite celebrity. The current UK site accepts US orders. Just remember that British shopping jargon is a bit different—a vest is a tank top, a jumper is a sweater and so on. You can shop the styles of such favorite Brit celebs as Cheryl Cole and Alexa Chung. We're hoping that, with the launch of the US site, some of our all-American faves will be there too.
We can't wait for September! Tell us, are you going to shop Asos too?

Judge: Complex Legal Issues Surround 11-Year-Old Mother
For many 10 and 11-year-old girls, life is all about talking to their friends, learning the lyrics to the latest Taylor Swift song and making plans to go to the mall. But, what happens when a child that young goes down the road of an adult?
It’s happened in the Northeast where an 11-year-old girl just became a mother. She gave birth to a baby boy this week, becoming one of the youngest mothers in the history of the United States. And now that she is a mother – does that mean she’s technically an adult who can make adult decisions?
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News' senior judicial analyst answered a few legal questions for FoxNewsHealth.com.
Q: What is the law when a minor gets pregnant?
A: A mother who is a minor has the same rights of motherhood — the right to make unfettered decisions about the raising of the child — as an adult mother, depending upon her age and level of maturity. The courts have several rules of thumb that they follow. If the minor is 12-years-old or younger, she is presumed to lack the maturity to make unfettered child-rearing decisions; and the place where the baby was delivered is obliged to deliver the minor and the baby into the hands of a competent adult who agrees in writing to be a guardian and to advise the minor that she must live with and make child-rearing decisions in conjunction with the guardian.
Q: What if the child is between the ages of 12 and 16?
A: If the mother is 16 or older, she is presumed to be mature enough to raise the child unimpeded by a guardian or any court and the place that delivers the baby is free to hand the baby to the minor alone. If the mother is between 12 and 16, it is the duty of the physicians who delivered the baby to involve the mother with a guardian who will live with her, or to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to address the matter, depending upon the physicians’ objective opinion of the minor’s level of maturity and access to material resources.
Q: Are there exceptions?
A: Note that the scenario above presents merely guidelines and presumptions, not hard and fast rules of law. Thus, for example, it is theoretically possible that a 10- year-old could possess the maturity to raise a child unimpeded by a guardian (though, I know of no case that has found this to be so); and it is theoretically possible that a 16-year-old may require a full-time guardian (I know of many cases that stand for this). There are many other lawful obligations imposed upon physicians who deliver babies from minors, but they do not involve the emancipation of the mother.
Q. What exactly does emancipation mean?
A: The paragraph above provides guidelines for the ages of emancipation for minor mothers. “Emancipation” in this context means that a child is no longer subject to her parents and is free to live and to raise her children as she wishes.
