Jewel Celebrating Baby

Jewel has teamed with Bravado! Designs to donate thousands of nursing bras and tank tops to a charity called Baby Buggy.

The clothing will be distributed to mothers in need in Dallas, Texas and New York.

"This is an unparalleled opportunity and honor to play such a meaningful role in the lives of other new mothers, and help to assure that all women get the products and care they need for themselves and the next generation," says Jewel. "Bravado! Designs and Baby Buggy have given me the tools to make a real difference in the lives of other new mothers. Through this affiliation, I am able to provide quality products and necessary services to support at-risk mothers who struggle to provide the best possible future for their babies."

Jewel's own countdown to baby is on! She and her husband, rodeo star Ty Murray, are expecting their first child, a little boy, any day now.

Swift A "Perfect Storm"

Taylor Swift “is a perfect storm.” That’s how Kara DioGuardi sees her.


Kara, who’s written hits for Carrie Underwood and others, says:


Taylor is “a great songwriter. She’s a beautiful girl. And she stands for something for her generation.” She says “when that comes together, it has a life of its own.” And she says “when we talk about great songs, it’s all about unique perspective. She has a unique way of saying things.”


Jewel agrees. She says Taylor Swift is a person “people can identify on a three-dimensional level.” She says “you have to be a real person. You want to be authentic. And it has to be a cult of a personality that you can follow on top of being a great song.”


 Jewel and Kara DioGuardi are working together on a new songwriting competition TV series. “Platinum Hit” which premiered on Bravo May 30th.
