An Open Letter To Jon Stewart: Please Shave Your Beard
You are a stunning television personality.

But your beard makes you look like Jesse James.
Why Are Fashion Mags Starting To Look Like Tiger Beat?
Be honest — you’ve probably never given to much thought as to why you buy a magazine. Needless to say, it’s not a something the industry takes lightly. And now they’re looking past the typical celebs and pinning their last editorial chips on underaged and under-covered starlets like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus or the cast of Gossip Girl

Kelly Cutrone (And Her BFF) Debut Web-Based Talk Show
Last week, Kelly Cutrone — tired of waiting for Bravo to greenlight a second season of “Kell On Earth” — launched a YouTube channel called KellyCutroneTV, which features “daily missives” from the people of People’s Revolution “served up piping hot.” Not done with her plans for total web domination, this morning Cutrone debuted a new web-based talk show called, “Wake Up And Get Real” with her BFF Justine Bateman.

BryanBoy Scores A Copy Of Anna Wintour’s First Vogue
This morning, our hats go off to blogger BryanBoy who has become the recent owner of a super covetable copy of the November 1988 issue of American Vogue — we (and every other fashion nerd) are green with envy.

Annie Leibovitz Sued Again For Not Paying Bills

Airbrushing Gets Axed In April Issue Of French Marie Claire
If there’s one issue getting more airtime than fashion’s Great Weight Debate, it’s photoshopping.

And now France’s Marie Claire magazine is throwing their voice into the mix by publishing their April issue with — according to them — nary an airbrush in sight.

Anna Wintour: Vogue Doesn’t Photoshop Its Models…Really?
Speaking in Boston as part of a panel with Kors and model Natalia Vodianova, the Vogue editrix joined the politically correct chorus in calling on designers to “reverse the tyranny of sample size clothing that just barely fit a 13-year-old on the edge of puberty.” But as for her own hand in the prevailing thinness, youngness and flawlessness of those who grace her pages each month? Anna says her editors have made a “commitment” to using a wider variety of body types and only occasionally use Photoshop to erase “small imperfections.”
