No one ever seems to care as much as Rachel Zoe stories as I do, so I just usually don’t post them. Rachel is my personal guilty pleasure celebrity and I read nearly every story I see about her or her brand. She has this encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashion and she is a great stylist, but on the other hand she spreads herself way too thin, loses assistants to other reality shows every six months or so and now according to Page Six her clothing line is in mah-jah trouble.

She might even being losing her Bravo show The Rachel Zoe Project...gasp!

Rachel Zoe’s clothing empire might soon be in shreds — sources say her line isn’t selling well in stores and her Bravo reality show may also be in trouble. The pin-thin stylist-turned-designer has become a household name from styling A-list clients including Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway and Demi Moore, and through her Bravo reality show, “The Rachel Zoe Project.” Last summer, she launched a clothing line with Chinese retail giant Li & Fung.

But despite the large promotional platform of her Bravo show, we hear the line isn’t doing well at stores including Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, with industry insiders snipping that interest in the line has “peaked.”

We hear Li & Fung “is panicked” about Zoe’s collection, and there are also rumblings that “The Rachel Zoe Project” may not return to Bravo for a fifth season.

To add insult to injury, sources tell us that Zoe’s assistant, interior designerJeremiah Brent, is getting his own reality show on the network. Brent, who redecorated Zoe’s Hollywood home on the show, appeared on “Zoe Project” in Season 4, having been fired and rehired by Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman.

Brent appears to have moved on and started his own business, Jeremiah Brent Design, as shown by photos of his office on Twitter. He would be the third Zoe assistant to get a reality show, including Brad Goreski (“It’s a Brad Brad World”) and Taylor Jacobson, who appears in Oxygen Network’s upcoming “HollywoodUnzipped: Stylist Wars.”

A rep for Zoe, who will show at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week, didn’t comment. But Alan Chartash, the chief strategy officer for Li & Fung USA, said: “We’re very happy. Apparel launched a year or so, and since that time, we’ve launched footwear, handbags and we’re launching a line of jewelry exclusively with Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. We’re supportive of Rachel and the continuation of the brand. Like any clothing line, it ebbs and flows, but we’re very happy with the apparel sales.”

PETA is pissed at The Trollson Twins. And they are not being kind in their campaign against a high-priced backpack in the new fall collection from The Row. None of this surprising of course. Attacking someone over a dead animal handbag that cost so much in an economy where people are struggling to keep a roof over their heads is totally what PETA does. What is surprising is that Rachel Zoe has called it a ‘staple’ for fall. Rachel Zoe who has her own cruelty free line of faux fur vests and coats. Hmmmm….someone not doing their research at Zoe Inc? 

Here’s PETA’s harsh and hilarious statement about the offending handbag:

‘If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it’s probably a Trollsen Twin – or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals,’ read the missive.

It continued: ‘What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it’s the foxes, calves, and alligators – who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain – who pay the dearest price.’

The Row designers do at least have one fan and an influential one at that, in stylist Rachel Zoe who touted the decadent bag as ‘next season’s staple’ on her site, The Zoe Report.

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is now a mother.

She posted a family picture of herself, baby Skyler Morrison Bergman and husband Rodger on her website today.

That should actually read: Rachel Zoe In C-Section.

She is not pushing. Trust.

And I hear that she’s requested her c-section scar be sewn in the Missoni pattern.

This is so funny. Sort of.

Not surprisingly the uber-skinny Rachel Zoe has only gained about 15 pounds eight months into her pregnancy. Just enough to be considered safe by doctors but highly unusual for anyone. Very few of us only 15 pounds when pregnant..but somehow Rachel has managed it.

One friend says that Rachel is “not used to eating three meals a day, so it’s very difficult. She says she’s not much hungrier than she was before.”

However, the friend adds that her husband “is making sure that she is eating right.”

Another friend suggests that her apparent lack of a bump is just an illusion: “She’s a fashionista. I think she’s trying to dress a certain way to cover it. The baby’s very healthy, and she’s taking off work soon.”

Although not before the Oscars, for which she’s styling co-host Anne Hathaway. Rachel told a reporter: “I have a lot coming up, so the baby’s not allowed to go anywhere yet!”

Poor Rodger. I bet he was hoping to avoid Oscar season this year while his wife was knocked up. If you watch The Rachel Zoe Project you know that she goes mental during Oscar season and Rodger get all bitchy and jealous. One year she got so stressed she ended up physically sick and at the doctor. But that was back in her ‘grapefruit and coffee only’ days. I’m hoping she’s eating an extra piece of lettuce while she’s pregnant.
