In a very arty, wacky spread for V Magazine, Celine Dion poses in multiple photos, alternately wearing a bunny mask, stuffed-animal pants, white leather, thigh-high boots and hot pants, and most notably, nothing on top. There's no nip, but you can actually see some underboob in one of the shots. It is at once the most…

America has a lot in common with Canada, its sister to the north, but our approach to the abortion debate is not one of them.

Now that there are starting to be anti-abortion protests in England on par with what we've been experiencing in the United States for years, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) has issued statement saying that they're fearful that the increasing number of high-profile anti-abortion campaigns in the country…

Lady Gaga is on the cover of the new issue of V, shot by Inez von Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. This is her third appearance on the magazine's cover. Gaga's cover is timed to coincide with the start of her new sideline gig as a V columnist. [Fashin]

• Supposedly, Kate Moss and Jamie Hince are engaged. According to tabloid reports, they were spotted leaving a jewelry store recently, so it must be true! Can't you see this is the body language of a newly engaged couple?

• Nicki Minaj is on the cover of V, looking like a sort of Keith Haring painting come to life. She's so wild, that Nicki Minaj! And lest you think there's some crafty behind-the-scenes Svengali calling the stylistic shots, Minaj says:

• 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]

The Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen is having quite the summer. Her androgynous good looks have graced the covers of French, Italian, and British Vogue in quick succession, Karl Lagerfeld loves her, and her Balenciaga campaign just came out.

How, you asked, could we neglect solid-gold trashiness like Harold Robbins! And Jilly Cooper! And Anne Rice! Don't worry, kids, we're not done: herewith, more titles, suggested by you, that make an argument for the anonymous benefits of a kindle...

• Elle MacPherson eats powdered rhino horn as a dietary supplement, because, "It works for me." Except: rhinos are endangered, and the only way to get rhino horn is to cut one off a rhino and leave it to die. [TOL]

Since we took note of the Style.com scribe's apparent dealings with Yves Saint Laurent, a company he both "consults" for (for fees understood to be in the thousands) and "reports" on, stories of his other exploits have started trickling in.

• Richie Sambora's latest collection for his line White Trash Beautiful, includes this snake-print "zip-crotch leotard," perfect for lounging. [Vogue UK]
