Madonna's on the November cover of Bazaar, and inside, there's an essay she's written about herself, as she looks back on a 30-year career, starting with the years before she became famous.

In Ladymag Land, the biggest issues of the year are the September issues. And this year, Vogue, Queen of the Ladymags, had its biggest issue ever. Nine hundred sixteen pages: Absolutely GIGANTIC. But all of the Ladymags celebrated the fall season in a huge way, and we could not let this momentous occasion pass without…

Gwen Stefani is on the cover of the September issue of Bazaar, and the 42-year-old mom is asked about how she keeps in shape. She explains:

Kim Kardashian is the March coverlady on Harper's Bazaar, and inside, she plays the Queen Of Denial The Nile in photographs by (who else?) Terry Richardson. She also talks about her body, since that is one of her strongest talents. Quoth Kim: "I'm on a diet… I need to be. I love to eat-Kit Kats or cookies-and-cream…

"Women hit on me. My husband thinks it's so odd that so many women hit on me," Christina Hendricks says in the November issue of Bazaar.

In fall 2007, WWD and The New York Times published pieces about the absence of black models on the fashion runways. We did our own tally of black models in fashion magazines, and came up with some shocking statistics.

So. I was forced to watch a show I'd never seen before, The Rachel Zoe Project. As far as I can tell, someone died? Rachel dramatically said stuff like, "Taylor was everything to me." And: "My heart is broken. Broken."

"Fashion and film used to feed off each other." So says Eugenia Paulicelli, curator of the exhibit Fashion + Film: The 1960s Revisited (which opens at the CUNY Graduate Center next week) in today's New York Times. So what happened?

As threatened promised, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are on the December cover of Bazaar. (Us also has the details!) And though Bella Kristen and Edward Rob don't admit that they are dating, they certainly drop hints:

My friend in Asia sent me the September issue of Bazaar Japan, with the coverline "First Lady Chic." Inside, there are "steal her style" stories for Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni. And a blonde doll taking over the White House.

It's that time of year where we tally all the prices in fashion magazines' September issues to determine which one has the most expensive shit. This year, it looks like the recession (sorta) had an effect on ladymags' editorial selections!

This "Vagaries Of Fashion" spread from Italian Vogue — seen on Sociological Images — is the third "neglectful mom" shoot we've seen from a fashion magazine this year.

Back in December, Jennifer Aniston was on the cover of Vogue, with the Star-worthy cover line, "What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool." Now the July issue of Harper's Bazzar features a paparazzi photo on the cover. What's going on?

Ever lusted after a younger man? Take a look at "The Gossip Graduate" fashion spread in the March issue of Bazaar: Helena Christensen, 40, gets up close and personal with Chuck Bass Ed Westwick, 21.

O, The Oprah Magazine; Redbook; Teen Vogue; Glamour; Harper's Bazaar; W; Marie Claire, and Allure all reported double-digit declines in the second half of 2008. Which will survive 2009? [WWD]

For some reason, the ladymags are kicking off the year with a smattering of our least favorite kind of photoshoot: The kind in which the models are jumping on a neutral background.

The November issue of Vogue features a "Field Of Dreams" photo shoot starring Natalia Vodianova, her husband and kids. In the opening spread, the family is standing in a boat which is moored on dry land. For those of you keeping count, this is the fourth time since August we've seen a double-page spread of models…

Whoa. The new cover of Bazaar makes us feel like... voting! [The.Life Files]
