Worst-selling, that is. Swift's April Elle issue sold the fewest copies of the year, and her covers of Glamour and Marie Claire were nearly as bad. Blake Lively bombed on Vogue and Esquire, but weirdly sold well for Allure. [WWD]

Kim Kardashian's shoe line takes celeb designing to a new level of annoying! "All you have to do is fill out a survey then her staff will continue sending you 5 cheap pairs of shoes each month until you beg for mercy. If you decide to keep a pair it’s $39 otherwise you just have to go through the trouble of reboxing them, going to the post office and mailing them back to Kim." [The.Life Files]

Embracing Goth's Heart Of Darkness

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:30:00 EDT

In my early teen years, I was a cheerleader. I liked pink, turquoise and fashion magazines. But a few years later, things changed: Suddenly, I was into Stephen King. Edgar Allan Poe. Ravens. I wore black, including broomstick skirts with Docs or men's oxfords from vintage stores. I watched The Crow a billion times and bought chunky silver jewelry. My sister and I shared a skull-printed jacket. And I'm not alone: According to Cintra Wilson's piece in The New York Times today, she had a Goth period, too. And Goth will not die. More »

Michael Kors Is A Gossip Girl

Sadie Stein — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:30:00 EDT

Between expanding his "empire," hosting Mad Men parties, judging Project Runway, and, presumably, tanning, Michael Kors is guesting on Gossip Girl. "I love the clothes, everyone is good-looking, the plot line is a riot," Kors says. "I love the show. They called and said, 'You are very Gossip Girl.' I thought, 'Finally, I am a teenager.'" Question: When does this guy have time to actually design? [WWD]

The Wall Street Journal has a really, incredibly, way too long article about The View today in which writer Dorothy Rabinowitz likens the show to a riveting guilty pleasure of little importance whose co-hosts have little to no knowledge of the occasional newsy topics they bring up between celebrity gossip. I totally take issue with that, for many reasons. First of all, Ms. Rabinowitz's digs about uninformed co-hosts are made about Whoopi, Joy, and Barbara, but she totally lets Sherri Shepherd off the hook. Sherri! It's almost as though Rabinowitz is kind of siding with her, and going after the others for attacking Sherri for her beliefs. I have to call bullshit on this, seeing as Rabinowitz focused on one episode of the show that aired last week, during which Sherri said that she wouldn't want her son wearing a dress in her home, even if her were gay or transgendered, or Scottish or just playing around.
