• California governor Jerry Brown wants to do something eminently sensible: raise income taxes on the wealthy by 1-2%, and increase the state sales tax by 0.5%.

• Talks to kreate a Kardashian magazine have broken down. Apparently Kris Kardashian saw the talks with American Media Inc. as a way to sort of foment a Trojan-horse takeover of Star magazine, and put an end to all those stories about sweatshops and Khloe's secret dad. Reportedly, Kris Kardashian told AMI (which publishes Star, among other titles) that she wanted not only editorial control of the Kardashian magazine under consideration, but of all AMI's over properties as well. She offered to feed said magazines Kardashian-related exclusive stories (positive ones, we're sure). AMI must have laughed her out of the building. [P6]

"Most people think he was Venetian, but he was Spanish. His father was also a very famous painter," says de la Renta. "He not only created the unmistakable Fortuny pleats but he also developed the technique so that the silk would always remain pleated. He created a tremendous amount of fabrics." [WWD]
• If you don't know what French New Wave cinema is without Googling it, maybe you shouldn't have a hosting gig on a national television program?
