- Models Kasia Struss, Lara Stone, Natalia Vodianova, Christy Turlington, and Gisele Bundchen photographed themselves for Vogue Italia’s December 2009 Twitter Cover Story. FashionIndie.com

- I’m not exactly blessed in the chestal region, so whenever I see a new gimmick to help push my puppies up, I get a little perky (no pun or alliteration intended). VOILA! A heat sensitive push-up bra… Popgloss.com
- That purported shootout at Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s second wedding in Costa Rica may have also been their last big media blowout. Married people just aren’t as interesting as unmarrieds, so let’s let those two buy curtain rods at Home Depot together in peace. Paparazzi have a new model-football-player couple to trail: Hilary Rhoda and Mark Sanchez. NYMag.com
- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet at Cannes earlier today for the premiere of “Inglourious Basterds”, the WWII movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, and as you might imagine the foreign press went insane. Which is cool because Pitt and Jolie are American. I like them out there as representatives of the US. Unless we can somehow get John Wayne to date the Statue of Liberty, I vote for these two. WWTD.com
- Back in 1998, Anna Wintour refused to allow Oprah to be on the cover of Vogue unless she lost a bunch of weight. Anna later relented after seeing people who looked like “little houses” on a trip to Minnesota and decided that her magazine needed to educate people on the dangers of being a fat f***. Gawker.com
- Drew Barrymore must have hit her head and woke up thinking she was M.I.A, because her poor outfit choice indicates that she’s a cracked-out hipster. Just because our little Sri Lankan rapper can pull off the crazy tie-dye tights and see-through tops doesn’t mean that Barrymore, pushing 40, should even attempt. FashionIndie.com

- Last night at the Hot Pink Party for breast-cancer research we overheard Michael Kors talking about Spanx. Underthings being a favorite topic of ours, we tottered over to join the conversation. “I was talking about how they should make Spanx for men and call it Manx. Manx for men. But I’m not wearing Manx. But I might,” Kors said. NYMag.com
