The Zoe Report: More Goop For Your Inbox

Stylist and reality TV star Rachel Zoe is launching a newsletter called The Zoe Report.

Sign up, and "you'll be the first to know" about Zoe's favorite fashion, beauty and lifestyle finds," according to the site. "It's going to be bananas!"

But as BlackBook points out:

Seeing as the "Editorial Policy" on the site reads, "The chic variety of accessories, apparel, and other items featured in the Zoe Report are carefully chosen by our editorial team of fashion addicts-ahem-experts" ... more likely than not the products and people highlighted might not necessarily chosen by Zoe herself, but rather a trusted editorial team.

In other words, expect Daily Candy-esque e-mails about shoes, handbags and beauty items.

The question is, don't we already know what Rachel Zoe offers? between her TV show, her best-selling book and clients? How many loose, drapey gowns/caftans and oversized sunglasses are there in the word? Wait. Don't answer that: Surely the Zoe Report will let us know.

A German supermarket employee opened two boxes of bananas to find them filled with more than 60 pounds of cocaine worth $2 million. "This is obviously a matter of a logistical mistake," said an agent. [CNN]

This product is called the "Banana Bunker" and it's being marketed towards parents as a case to hold their kids' bananas in their lunch boxes or diaper bags or whatever. It's weird for two reasons: 1.) bananas already come in a case and 2.) it looks…sexual. Maybe someone's mind is in the gutter here, but doesn't it look more like a product to turn your banana into a dildo? [Babble]
