Port’s been pretty quiet since MTV canceled the reality show just over a year ago; she filmed a cameo in What to Expect When You’re Expecting and signed on as the face of British shopping site, Very.com. Though she didn’t stop designing Whitney Eve, she hasn’t shown the collection outside of trade shows—and now she plans on staging a proper runway show at Lincoln Center. Before The City ended, Port left longtime publicist Kelly Cutrone in favor of Alison Brod, but today’s press release comes from Cutrone’s People’s Revolution. Port says, “My collection has grown so much over the past few years, and the next step for me as a designer was to put on my own runway show. I am so excited to show on schedule as part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, and can’t wait to show my new fall collection on the runway.” Port’s show will take place at 9AM on February 15th. In other fashion week news, Tommy Hilfger’s leaving Lincoln Center in favor of the Park Avenue Armory at 67th Street (Marc Jacobs shows at the downtown armory). It’s that time of year again—let the gossip begin!

Photo: Splash NewsNot all celebrities can be as academically oriented as our crush of the week, James Franco. Although many celebs give college a shot (actress Dakota Fanning is a freshman at NYU where Disney royalty Dylan and Cole Sprouse also study), it seems like more often big name actors and actresses are calling it quits after their bout with higher education. Last week we learned that Emma Roberts left Sarah Lawrence College after only one semester. The official story is that she couldn’t balance her work as an English Literature major and her acting career (she’s slated to star in Spring Breakers with James Franco, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens) but sources say school wasn’t her main priority. Emma herself admitted to skipping a week of class to attend a Tibi show during New York Fashion Week. She told Us Weekly, “I ditched class to come to this show and that’s probably bad. I’m going back at the end of the week.” Her long distance relationship might also be a factor. Her boyfriend, Glee cast member Chord Overstreet lives in L.A and a close friend told Life&Style that “Emma’s in love and wants to spend time with Chord. You can’t blame her!” What other celebs have left college before getting their degrees? Check out our list below!

On March 7th, she announced on her official website that “I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.” In April, the 21-year-old actress announced that she would spend her junior year abroad at Oxford University and would be returning to finish her senior year at Brown.

I’m really happy with what I’m doing. I read a lot of books, you know. So, I have no urge to go back to college.”

She told The Independent, “It was getting to the point where I wasn’t enjoying either thing enough because both were very high pressure. I was burning out and I knew I had to make a decision.”

Despite leaving, he loved college, telling The New York Times that during school, “I started to care about the world, and I wanted to somehow connect with it.”

- Christina Aguilera has had a rough time in the media lately due to the constant critique regarding her body. But Christina refuses to let it get to her, she fights back instead! "I have a boyfriend that loves my body," she says. "I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters." When it comes to body image, Christina is an amazing role model, "women, we are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny," she says and continues, "As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need." We couldn't agree more! It's nice to see that Christina has such a healthy self image! (people)

Newly resolved to have perfect fingernails? You don’t have to drop major money at a salon to keep your nails glossy and strong all winter. Set aside about an hour, follow our eight easy steps, and you won’t want to cover up with winter gloves or coat sleeves. You’ll need: Base and top coat (see our top pick below) Nail polish remover Cotton pads or Q-tips Nail file Cuticle pusher or clipper.
1. Soak your hands in warm water for at least three minutes. A little bit of lemon juice will help loosen any nail color, meaning less damage done by nail polish remover.
2. Remove any old polish with a cotton ball or Q-tip and apply moisturizer to your cuticles. The alcohol in nail polish remover leeches moisture from your skin, so make sure to apply lotion or hand cream before, and after you take off old polish.
3. Push back cuticles. If you’ve left your nail beds unattended for a while, you can trim your cuticles but be careful, if you cut your cuticles too short they’ll bleed.
4. Shape your nails with a nail file, being careful only to file in one direction. A back and forth motion will weaken your nails. Give yourself square edges, and a round tip, the perfect shape for growing out your nails and keeping them strong.
5. Buff your nails so you have a smooth surface for the polish to stick to.
6. Base Coat. Always use a base coat! It helps your color stick and strengthens your nails. We love Sally Hansen’s Double Duty Polish, which can be used as both a base, and top coat. It’s packed with vitamins to strengthen your nails, and is a hardcore chip resister.

7. Color. Always roll the bottle (never shake!) to mix up the color, and get your perfect shade. 8. Top Coat. Wait at least half an hour before applying a top coat to seal in the color, and keep your nails looking lovely for as long as possible.
