Matthew McConaughey Launches Men’s Line
Hitting
Dillard’s stores next month, actor Matthew McConaughey’s new range of casual clothes and swimwear for men has a personal, charitable tie-in. Though still infamous for a certain
naked drumming session, the Texan also turns heads with his well-styled threads. Called JKL, the line will include clean-lined basics with performance features (UV protection, moisture-wicking capability). A percentage of sales will go to the Just Keep Livin Foundation, formed in honor of the actor’s father, to educate kids on healthy living choices. For more on the story,

Katy Perry, Rihanna Rock Grammy Red Carpet

adequately covered,” though celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Katie Perry had their own interpretations of the word.
