We know, there’s not much news hotter than that of Britney’s downfall, but, nevertheless, we’ve done our digging and have come up with a few happenings in the world of fashion and shoes online. With that, here’s what’s news:

• A crock of Croc’s—The Motley Fool reports that our not-so-favorite brand, Croc, is in a heap of difficulty, mostly as a result of competing brands taking advantage of expired patents. Don’t fret, a Croc’s spokesman states that the company’s not worried.

• Steve Madden does some sole searching—After 10 years in the fashion business, three years in jail and a head full of hair loss, Steve Madden is officially a shoe king. Newsday NY recently caught up with the fashion mogul to find out what’s new.

• Natalie Portman turns fashion designer—Natalie Portman is the newest Hollywood star-turned-designer. Natalie has teamed up with New York label Te Casan to create a collection of vegan and
  animal-friendly footwear called the Natalie Portman Collection. The line will hit stores in February.

• Faryl Robin’s Story– One of our favorite designer’s, Faryl Robin, goes one-on-one with the New York Post, telling her story of how she got to where she’s at and what drives her company.
