Want to follow a star's clothing line, but forget who sold their brand to which store? Here is a run down: Avril Lavigne is hawking for Kohls (Hayden Panettiere does Candies, but will be doing Kohl's too, along with Lenny Kravitz and Vanessa Carlton); LL Cool J joins Ty Pennington for Sears; Wal-mart has the Olsen Twins; JC Penney features Kimora Lee Simmons and Belk hired Kristen Davis of Sex and the City.
Below are a few more celebrities for big brand names.
