An Australian club night has banned "metrosexuals" in an attempt to reduce fighting. But a look at the dress code — no Ed Hardy shirts, no popped collars — suggests they're actually banning douchebags. [News.com.au] More »

• Poor Rachel Zoe! "I thought: I've done blood, sweat and tears for 15 years — why am I the victim here? I have had the nastiest things said about me! I don't understand." [NY Post]
• Shockingly, the CFDA's "Health Booth" (which educates fashionistas about eating) is deserted. [NY Mag]
• You already knew Sean Lennon was an ass: Spotted at Fashion Week, the modelizer "wore a magisterial women's coat with gold buttons and a top hat decorated with Native American bands. His girlfriend, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, wore a coyote headdress." [NY Mag]
• Justin Timberlake brings pissy back at his William Rast show. [WWD]
• Punk legend Malcolm McLaren accuses son and Agent Provocateur founder Joe Corre of counterfeiting punk duds. "I think my son actually used – maybe – the original labels, because we didn't use them all up...There'd be a roll of ribbon around in the workroom and maybe my son got a hold of those. I think he did this before he set up Agent Provocateur. Or in order to set up Agent Provocateur and fund it, he made a number of these fake clothes and sold them to dealers in Japan." [Independent]

Last night there was a screening party for the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of New York City at Touch, a club in Midtown Manhattan which I'd otherwise not have visited were it not for the fact that all the housewives, their husbands, and (some of ) their kids were in attendance. The show airs on Bravo tonight, but I became obsessed with it after watching a 30-minute preview episode last week featuring Alex McCord and her metrosexual husband Simon van Kempen, the couple who live in Brooklyn and shop for clothes together. I dragged videographer Alex Goldberg with me to see if we could get one of them to talk to us about their love of fashion — and we totally did! Clip above, and more on the party after the jump.

The Real Housewives of New York, Bravo's new reality show set to premiere next week, aired today for some reason, and it looks like it might be even more addicting than The Real Housewives of Orange County. There are five women this time, four of whom live on the Upper East Side and "summer" in the Hamptons. The fifth, Alex, is from Kansas and lives an "alternative" lifestyle involving a multimillion dollar townhouse in [gasp!] Brooklyn, and chooses to spend her Augusts in St. Barths. But it's her metrosexual husband, Simon, who interests us the most. The two are BFFs, and are attached at the hip. They get pedicures together and "wouldn't dream" of going shopping for clothes without one another. We know that he's foreign and all, but you know that line about how it's so hard to find a man because they are all either gay, straight or taken? This guy is probably two of those three. But we'll leave it up to you to decide. Clip above. More »
