"If the models at Marchesa look a little au natural to you, there's a reason: The designers sent out a last minute A.P.B., demanding their models to arrive 2 hours earlier for hair and makeup.The reason? Anna Wintour wanted to view the collection privately, an hour before other editors arrived." (Fashionsta)

"PETA's 'sexy fashion police' plan to be outside the Bryant Park tents all week, and they scored a major pelt on the very first day: Anna Wintour. The Vogue editor was leaving the shows when she was accosted by a young animal-rights activist. "She wrote out a citation and reprimanded her with, 'Anna Wintour, you're a fashion felony,'' said a spy. 'Anna looked mortified, would not accept the ticket and hurried away.'" (NYDailyNews)

"Ever wonder who would win in a battle of wills between Anna Wintour and Madonna? (We'll be honest — 82 percent of our day is spent thinking about issues like this.) Well, now you have the answer: Madonna. (As if there was any question — one of Madonna's giant eyeballs alone could break Wintour's little parakeet neck.) Portfolio's Jeff Bercovici puts the question to rest with actual evidence — a spat over the cover of Condé Nast's ubiquitous 'Fashion Rocks' magazine ... Apparently, Wintour wanted Madonna for the cover, but Her Madgesty wouldn't agree to perform at the 'Fashion Rocks' concert this Friday — which is obligatory for anyone who appears on the cover. So Wintour was forced to go with her second choice, Jennifer Lopez." (NYMag)

"At Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. show, both our fondest wishes came true: The clothes were totally fun, and little Kingston — all blinged out in what appeared to be bedazzled jeans, like the biggest badass in the sandbox — made an appearance, bouncing on dad Gavin Rossdale's lap in the front row ... While Eve took her seat near flame-haired rocker Shirley Manson from Garbage, Kingston decided that he simply must have a fistful of Sean Combs's hair. To his credit, a surprised Diddy played along, even letting Kingston gnaw on his finger for a second and trying to shake his hand before leaning forward and making it clear that it was now time to refrain from disturbing The Sexy. Gavin expertly steered his boy away to play with Boris Becker" (NYMag)
