       *Rapper Eve has been hired to host the 2005 Philadelphia Fashion Expo on Oct. 30th at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a gig that returns the entertainer to her home town.

       "Coming home and hosting this worthwhile event is a great honor to me," Eve said in a statement.

       The Fashion Expo includes business seminars and panel discussions, three top industry fashion shows and one artistic hair show with over 40 models and creative designers, live concerts and an all-day vending mall.

       A fashion fan in her own right, Eve recently teamed with urban lifestyle fashion pioneer Marc Ecko to re-launch her clothing line, Fetish, a collection of women's sportswear, headwear, footwear and luggage.

       Among the confirmed special guests are Philadelphia radio personalities Ukie Washington, DC Todd, Monie Love and Poochman. Featured designers include Meezan Art Couture, Chic Bella, Earl Bannister, Garfield Michael, Get Money Girl, Brooks Brothers and GD Originals.

       The event will also host a clothing and food drive for victims of Hurricane Katrina with part of the proceeds to benefit the Gulf Coast hurricanes and the Children's Aid Society.
