Lady Gaga Called Anna Wintour "Bitch" In A Text

Jenna Sauers — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:50:00 EDT

Last night, the Council of Fashion Designers of America held its annual awards show, a night where celebrities applaud designers and models are treated like celebrities and Lady Gaga wears even more uncomfortable shoes than usual. Gaga arrived late to the red carpet, where her sister Natali Germanotta walked alongside her. Gaga wore a blue wig and a Mugler dress with an enormous train, which she later removed to accept her award. Anderson Cooper hosted the show — and treated the crowd to photos of his child modeling days — before running off, as Diane von Furstenberg put it, "to deal with a Weiner." Gaga was dubbed a Fashion Icon, Kanye West reminded us how much he loves Phoebe Philo, and Grace Coddington presented legendary photographer Arthur Elgort with a special tribute award. More »

Jenna Sauers — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:30:00 EDT

Emma Roberts says meant to say only that putting her name on a clothing line would be tacky. Given Target isn't hurrying to offer lines to 19-year-olds without fashion experience, this strikes us as a fairly academic point. [@RobertsEmma]

Jennifer — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:19:33 EDT

Fresh off her appearance on the cover of the June Glamour, Jennifer Lopez will grace the cover of Conde Nast's supremely stupid supplement Fashion Rocks.
