Headlines This Week 9/18
September 18, 2009

- Michelle Williams these days divides her time between her house in Brooklyn and a house in upstate New York. The location of the latter property is a secret, for understandable reasons: Since the death in 2008 of Heath Ledger, the father of her daughter, Matilda, the beautiful and shy actress has inevitably found herself at the center of a morbid cult and, most pertinent, the object of the tabloids’ banal, destructive intrusiveness.

- We always talk about how skinny models are, and this week a model actually fainted on the catwalk. At Jeffrey Chow’s first collection for the Poleci presentation Saturday night, a model passed out. Producers had to put cold Coca-Cola cans on her head and feed her fruit to bring her back. FashionIndie.com

- Vera Wang, Rodarte, and Thakoon! The critics still have plenty of love to give, but not for those who don’t earn it… Vera Wang The critics were uniformly wowed by Vera Wang’s artful, luxurious collection. NYMag.com
- First her man, and now her style! Looks like Lady Gaga has a lot in common with Miss Piggy these days. When the outrageous pop star showed up to the VMAs arm-and-arm with Kermit the Frog, we knew Miss Piggy wouldn’t be happy. People.com

- What Is Ron Jeremy Doing at Fashion Week? NYMag.com
- Kanye West arrived with girlfriend Amber Rose on his arm. The model is known for wearing in-your-face duds and tonight is no exception. She looks like a walking snake in her skin-tight snake-print bodysuit. Art deco earrings, a gold circle collar necklace, and a large ring are her bold accessories of choice. Are you into it?
