• Tom Ford, a man who immobilized his forehead with Botox, thinks people should go naked. Especially, well... "Fat women almost always look better without the constraint and lumpy pinching of clothes, all the straps and elastic squeezing and sucking." [ContactMusic]

• Katy Perry, shot by Alexi Lubomirski for the subscriber cover of the new Harper's Bazaar, looks gorgeous, if a bit crusty-lipped. She also looks a lot like Jean Patchett on the iconic Erwin Blumenfeld Vogue cover from January, 1950. [JustJared]

• Detmar Blow and Tom Sykes are trading jibes with Lauren Goldstein Crowe over their dueling Isabella Blow biographies, both of which hit U.S. bookstore stores this week. Everyone is sniping at everyone over the email, sometimes in ALLCAPS!!!

• Madonna thought the legendary photographer was angry at her, maybe "because I'm still nice to Herb Ritts??" She was making A League Of Their Own at the time, and wrote about how much she hated actresses — particularly Geena Davis:

• "A reliable source" tells UnBeige that "Nike is cooking up a major collaboration" with Alexander Wang. [@Unbeige]
