Tyra Banks' YA novel Modelland just débuted at number 2 on the New York Times' best-seller list, children's chapter books section. You can read an excerpt — this is the story with the protagonist named Tookie De La Creme, remember — here. [NewNowNext]

Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch is getting quite the reputation.

Swimsuit season is just around the corner and Abercrombie & Fitch: Kids knows exactly what you've been looking for and is more than happy to provide you with it:

• Teen Vogue's March cover features a shot of Twilight's Ashley Greene that makes her neck look about twice as long as usual. Weird angle? Odd hair placement? Overzealous Photoshop? Perfect storm of the above? Whatever, it's uncanny. [Styleite]

• To further her plan for wold domination, Snooki — author, slipper-wearer, and cultural touchstone to millions — will soon be pimping a slew of licensed products, including jewelry (a NYE ball necklace!), clothing, and sunglasses. [NYPost]

• After taking down Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and Elle magazine, the dreaded bedbugs are now ensconced at the Fifth Avenue Juicy Couture store. We're picturing bedbugs in tiny velour tracksuits, talking on tiny pink bedazzled cell phones. [Gothamist]

• Precocious-in-the-bad-way tween "designer" Cecilia Cassini, who sells $500 dresses, says she took "like, three" sewing classes, but quit because her teacher was "like, rude." We have a feeling one day soon Cassini will be horribly embarrassed of all this.

• Miranda Kerr was photographed nude at six and a half months pregnant by Patrick Demarchelier. She told W magazine she realized she was knocked up the day she shot her Jil Sander campaign. Full pic below. [Fashionologie]

• Today, brave teenagers and students will protest Abercrombie & Fitch's Fifth Avenue flagship for pumping that hideous stench into all of its stores, and transforming them into retail hellscapes. They contend that the disgusting cologne is an environmental hazard. [StyleList]

• Michelle Obama wore Donna Karan to the $10,000-a-head fundraiser Karan threw her. PETA protested the event, because Karan uses fur, and PETA will do anything for a headline. "She is gorgeous and smart," said guest Diane von Furstenberg. [WWD]

• The crack team at the British tabloid brain trust has concocted a cackle of a story for us this Monday morning: Kate Moss is quitting modeling and moving to Cornwall to run a bed and breakfast with Jamie Hince. [Star]

• Courtney Love hired Michael Mouris to create a short animated video about her life. Karl Lagerfeld comes to her and tells her she is "drowning in the kook," like a Teutonic fairy godmother of style. It is awesome. [WWD]

• A dejected, underwear-clad Lady Liberty-Gaga and a tuxedoed Marc Jacobs, shot by Mario Testino, cover V's newest issue. [NYDN]
• Lanvin for H&M is happening! The men's and women's collections will hit over 200 stores worldwide on November 23. [WWD]

• American Apparel's stock is tumbling this morning, following news that the company's dodgy accounting has caught the eye of the U.S. Attorney's office. It's currently trading at 0.83. [AMEX:APP]
• Dov says: "The capital structure issues will work themselves out." [WWD]

• Halle is the first black woman to make the cover of Vogue's September issue since 1989. "What that means for a woman of color and what that means in the fashion world, what that means to pop culture," she says:

• If you are a celebrity looking to distill your smelly essence into a trademarked blend of volatile organic compounds and sell it for a disgusting profit, be like Mary J. Blige. In six hours, Blige moved 60,000 units. [People]

• Isabella Rossellini has a Bulgari handbag collection. The actress called bags "an indispensable accessory for us women" and compared them to jewels; hers cost $1,700-$2,600. Rossellini printed drawings from her acclaimed Green Porno series on the linings. [ONTD]

• The September issue cover choices are in: Harper's Bazaar chose Jennifer Aniston, Elle nabbed Julia Roberts, and, as predicted, Vogue went with Halle Berry. (Anyone wanna take odds on a "What Gabriel did was very uncool" cover line?)

• Zoe Saldana is the latest face of Calvin Klein. The actress' only other foray into fashion was a clothing line by the name of Arasmaci. Perhaps she didn't want any other ads to come between her and her Calvins? [People]
